Chapter 8 The first encounter in Chonglongguan
Chonglong view built in the inner city, the same is according to the mountain and walk, the deeper the building, the higher the area of the area, the deepest and highest place is a nine-storey pavilion, in order to imply the supreme power of the ancestors, which is equipped with ten thousand golden lamps, every grand festival, the deacon Taoist in the view will light up all the golden lamps, the lights are brilliant as day, the magnificence is as vast as the fairy house, the whole pavilion is bright, the whole capital city can see the magnificent scene here, like the heavenly fairy palace. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Such a scene, if you don't have the chance to see it, it can't but be said to be a great pity.
Chonglongguan is also the number one Taoist temple in the Daomen, second only to the Zixiao Palace of the Taoist Ancestral Court, the Qingjing of the Imperial Capital, the Zirongguan of Jiangdu, the Taiqing Palace of Qizhou, and the Qingxu Palace of Linxian Mansion. To be able to serve as the master of these Taoist temples, all of them are important figures in the Taoist sect. Chonglong Guan Guan Lord, the reputation is relatively insignificant, but it is known that it is a generation higher than the current Taoist master, and it is the only few remaining achievements among the older generation, and the status of the Taoist is respected. However, not long ago, the old man finally couldn't resist the passage of time, and suddenly sat down when giving a lecture to his disciples, because it was too sudden, even the Daomen Ancestral Court was caught off guard, and there was no suitable candidate to take over the position of the master of Chonglong Temple, so the current Chonglong Temple is generally in a state of leaderlessness.
Xu Beiyou did not choose to go to Chonglongguan with the flow of people in the early morning, but waited until the evening when the sun was setting in the west. I don't know why, at this time, there are no other pilgrims in the Chonglong Temple, a huge Taoist temple is quiet, although Xu Beiyou is a little strange, but he doesn't care too much, just when it is the Chonglong Temple at dusk.
Xu Beiyou walked into the gate of Chonglongguan, and did not worship the statues of the Taoist people in the past dynasties, but just toured around, but unfortunately many places did not allow outsiders to visit, such as the nine-story pavilion with 10,000 golden lamps is impressive.
Xu Beiyou will be able to go to several places have seen, and finally went to the main hall, here is enshrined is a Taoist ancestral sitting statue, at this time the sky is getting dark, the hall has been held lamp, only to see the Taoist ancestor like the Taoist pretending to be Haotou, the right hand holding the dust, other Taoist Taoist statues in the Taoist temple are different from the Taoist statue of the Taoist Temple, the Taoist ancestor statue of Chonglong Temple is also surrounded by a golden dragon on the left hand. Since ancient times, the emperor is known as the true dragon son of heaven, with the dragon meaning the emperor, the Daomen move is obviously to put the emperor under the Daozu, naturally attracted a large number of verbal criticism, many temples and ministers have asked the Daomen to modify the statue of the Daozu, but the Daomen has always ignored this, deaf ears, this Daozu statue has been able to survive.
Xu Beiyou worshiped Dao Ancestor and was about to turn around and leave, but he accidentally bumped into another person.
Xu Beiyou took half a step back to stabilize his figure, and looked up, but he was a beauty in Taoist costumes, about the same age as Xu Beiyou, a petite figure shorter than Xu Beiyou, and a delicate face with a porcelain doll texture.
Xu Beiyou, an incasual little virgin, only felt a faint fragrance in his nose, and his heart suddenly suffocated.
Xiao Daogu raised her head and glanced at Xu Beiyou timidly, and after coming into contact with Xu Beiyou's sight, she quickly lowered her head.
There was an awkward moment of silence between the two.
In the end, it was Xu Beiyou who took the lead in breaking the silence, "Are you okay?"
Xiao Daogu's face showed a touch of shyness, and she didn't speak, just shook her head.
Xu Beiyou somehow suddenly remembered the woman who rode on a sassy purple that he met not long ago, as if she was Taishan collapsing in front of her and her face did not change her face whenever she was, in stark contrast to the little Dao Gu in front of her, the two were like two completely different flowers, one was a graceful peony that stood out from the crowd, and the other was a mimosa of a small jasper.
Each has its own differences, each has its own merits, and each has its own taste.
Xu Beiyou cleared his throat and asked, "The girl is a person from the Dragon Temple?"
She hesitated and nodded.
Xu Beiyou smiled, and the scholar said: "My name is Xu Beiyou, double Xu, the north of the northwest, and the tour of study." ”
Xiao Daogu was even more hesitant, and after a short battle between heaven and man, she replied with the gift of the Daomen, and then said softly and weakly: "My Dao name is Zhiyun, and now I am practicing in the Chonglong Temple." ”
Xu Beiyou was just about to speak, when the lights in the hall suddenly dimmed, and the murderous machine suddenly started.
The next moment, Xu Beiyou's figure rose violently, and he pulled Xiao Dao Gu behind him, and at the same time, Tian Lan came out of the sheath behind him, and stabbed the uninvited villain who was about to poison Xiao Dao Gu.
This uninvited villain was dressed in a black narrow sleeved long brocade robe, with a black tiger head buttoned at the waist, black and white-soled official boots on his feet, a knife in his hand, a thick back and a thin blade, the spine of the knife was straight, the blade was slightly arced, the knife was three feet long, the handle was six inches long, and it weighed nine catties and nine taels.
Dark Guard!
Everyone in the world knows that the flying fish suit and the embroidered spring knife are the standard configuration of the secret guard, but the vast majority of people do not know that the flying fish suit can only be worn by officials with more than three grades, and the embroidered spring knife can only be worn by masters with more than three grades of force.
The embroidered spring knife collided with Tianlan, and a clear sound rippled.
Xu Beiyou held Tianlan in his hand and did not retreat, but advanced, and took another step forward.
The sword is brilliant and intertwined like a net.
However, the three swords that killed the Yin soldiers and destroyed the withering and decaying were like a flower in front of this dark guard master, and he saw that the embroidered spring knife was completely broken with force, and the sword net was cut through in a few swords, and then it approached Xu Beiyou's face.
At this time, outside the main hall, there was a group of dark guards dressed in black brocade robes from all directions over the wall into the Chonglong Temple in an orderly manner, with a sword on his waist, and a heavy crossbow in his hand, and began to pull the trigger after landing, with a buzzing sound, the crossbow arrows scattered and flew in all directions, like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and began to carry out a bloody massacre of the Taoists in the Chonglong Temple.
Several of the Night Watchmen were shot through the heads by crossbow arrows almost immediately, and they didn't even let out the slightest shout, only a dull sound after they fell to the ground.
As soon as the lights of several houses were turned on, crossbow arrows were thrown at them, killing their owners.
A black-clothed secret guard dressed in a fourth-grade official robe appeared outside the door of Chonglongguan, and said in a deep voice: "All the people in Chonglongguan, regardless of men, women, old and young, no matter what status, can't let go of one, all of them will be killed!"
The secret guards who followed him agreed in unison, then drew their sabers at their waists and rushed into the Chonglong Temple.
The secret guards silently rushed towards the depths of the Chonglong Temple, and rushed straight to the nine-story pavilion in the deepest part of the world, where the cardinal core of the entire Chonglong Temple was located.
The secret guards rushed all the way, the momentum was like a bamboo, the ordinary Taoist people of Chonglongguan were slaughtered as if they were cut grass, some of the disciples who had cultivated into the hall and entered the house, although they had the capital and strength of a battle, but they had no choice but to have many secret guards, and in the situation of being outnumbered, these disciples were destined to end up with hatred.
Along the way, corpses were strewn all over the place, and rivers of blood flowed.
It is true that there are many masters in the Daomen, but there are only a few people in the Chonglong Temple who can be called masters.
At this time, he did not have half of the submissiveness when facing Lu Shen, but with a gloomy aura and a gloomy expression, it was easy to think of a poisonous snake that was waiting for an opportunity.
He squinted his eyes at the nine-story pavilion that could be seen in the distance, and his five fingers gently rubbed the handle of the embroidered spring knife on his waist.
As long as the Taoist in the Chonglong Temple is killed, then there will be a group of secret guards pretending to be the Taoist of the Chonglong Temple to take over here, and then it will be exposed that the Taoist priest of the Chonglong Temple actually uses the internal organs of children to make medicine in order to refine the pill, and it just so happens that many families in the capital city have really lost their children recently, and there will be a few so-called criminals who steal children in the public court to confess that they are instructed by the Taoist of Chonglong Temple, and then someone will raise their arms and shout, and stage a drama of the people surrounding the Taoist Temple, and finally naturally the child's body was really searched from the Taoist Temple. The rest of the matter does not need to be pushed by the secret guards, the angry people will help them completely erase all traces of the Chonglong Temple, and there will be nothing left.
Even if the Daomen knew that something was wrong, what could they do? The one who killed people and burned the Taoist temple was not my secret guard mansion, but the people of the capital.
