Chapter 014: The Phantom of the Ancient Temple (1)

Meng Xingnan and the Dustless Daoist got along for a long time, and suddenly broke up, even though he was reluctant in his heart, he still resolutely left the Xuanzhen Temple, asked all the way to the south, and went towards the hometown of Minyue. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At the time of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, in addition to the surrounding areas of Gyeonggi, the world was divided into 11 provinces.

Shimenshan Xuanzhen Temple is located in Henan Jiangbei Province, and the hometown of Minyue was originally under the jurisdiction of Fujian Province. All the way, you have to pass through Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi provinces and other places.

Meng Xingnan grew up in Xuanzhen Temple since he was a child, although there were dustless people to guide the path when he went down the mountain. But after leaving Shimen Mountain, I saw more and more houses around. There are many more people than Shimen Village, and they are inevitably dazzled.

Later, I simply got lost, and I didn't know where to go. However, he was not worried about getting lost, and he didn't know where Minyue's hometown was.

However, he didn't expect that among the more than ten provinces in the world, the hometown of Minyue was the most complicated.

Originally, Fujian used to be a province, but then it was repeatedly abolished, sometimes merged into Jiangxi Province, and sometimes suddenly merged into Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, which is uncertain and really confusing.

However, these national affairs, if they are not the officials in the center of the imperial court, let alone the common people, even the officials at the bottom of the Mengyuan Dynasty may not know about them.

Therefore, whenever Meng Xingnan didn't know the way to ask people, some people would tell him that Minyue's hometown was in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and some people would tell him that he was in Jiangxi Province. Everyone has different opinions, which makes Meng Xingnan dizzy, and he really takes a lot of wrongful paths.

After that, he stopped asking for directions and went all the way south. Sometimes when I take a fork in the road, I don't ask anyone, I just discern the direction according to the stargazing and positioning techniques passed down by the dustless Taoists, and blindly bury my head in the road.

I thought that as long as I went all the way south, I would always end up in Minyue's hometown.

But after all, he is young, and his heart is beating off. At the time of the Xuanzhen Temple, there were no dust Taoist constraints, and they were still restrained. This time I went down the mountain, and suddenly there was no pipe head.

Along the way, in addition to being in a hurry, Meng Xingnan carefully learned the spells on the true solution of Shimen when he was free, and he was bent on finding a few monsters and doing the thing of subduing demons and eliminating demons.

But most of the places he walked were very populated, and most of them were people from the Daomen, if it weren't for those big demon levels, how could ordinary demons dare to come to these places to make trouble?

I'm afraid that as soon as it appears, it will be beaten to pieces.

It was because Meng Xingnan didn't find many opportunities to eliminate demons along the way, but instead saw a lot of things that he couldn't have imagined before.

At this time, it was the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and the people's taxes and forced labor were extremely heavy. The imperial court divided the country into four categories: Mongolian, Semu, Han, and Nanren. Officials are corrupt and pervert the law, give and accept bribes, and do everything. The people are miserable and living in dire straits.

In the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty, the Huaihe River basin suffered a major natural and man-made disaster. Droughts and locust plagues have caused cracks in the fields, crops have not been harvested, plagues have killed one after another.

The government was urging and urgent, and the poor people had no food and clothing, so they had to compete for wild grass bark and even Guanyin soil in order to survive, and finally died of a distended stomach. Displaced people are all over the world.

Meng Xingnan walked to the Jianghuai area and saw with his own eyes the pain, helplessness and sorrow of many people in the world. Although he has the heart to save people, he has no choice but to help.

Later, Meng Xingnan really couldn't look down on these human tragedies. simply no longer go to these places with a large number of people. Instead, I specifically look for those remote mountain roads and trails to walk.

Along the way, Meng Xingnan relied on learning some self-defense spells, and he was not afraid of the danger of tigers and wolves in the mountains. When you are hungry, you will find a family to make a relationship, and when you are tired, you will find a place to sleep with your head down, and you will be at ease.

Sometimes I can't get married, so I hunt some wild things to eat.

Anyway, he is a Huoju Taoist priest, and he doesn't avoid meat in the first place. Belch...... In addition, they can also marry and have children like people in the world.

On this day, Meng Xingnan was thirsty when he was walking on the mountain road, and he happened to hear the sound of gurgling water in front of him.

His spirit couldn't help but perk, and he hurriedly hurried a few steps. After turning a cliff corner, I saw a mountain peak, and a stream of water meandered out of a spring at the bottom of the peak.

Halfway up the mountain, there was a dilapidated temple, but it was overgrown with weeds and looked rather desolate.

Meng Xingnan couldn't help grinning, he finally didn't have to sleep in the wilderness tonight.

After walking a few steps, Meng Xingnan came to the spring. First, I brushed the water on my face, and I felt that it was cool and comfortable. After washing his face, he drank the clear spring water half full.

Then he took out the gourd from his knapsack and filled it with water before walking in the direction of the temple.

The road was overgrown with weeds and thorns, there was no path to pass through, and it was very densely grown. Meng Xingnan took a lot of effort to finally come to the foot of the mountain.

Seeing that this mountain peak is not very high, only a few hundred zhang, but the lonely peak pierces the sky, and there is a unique sense of craggy.

And the path to the ancient temple, in addition to the foot of the mountain can also faintly see some bluestone strips, the higher you go, the more dense the branches and thorns grow, it is simply impossible to go up.

However, Meng Xingnan has been practicing qi and martial arts since he was a child, his body is light, and he has broken through the innate nature, but it is easy to get to this lonely peak.

I saw him on tiptoe and perform light body kung fu of flying on the grass. In a few moments, they were halfway up the mountain. But there is still a way to go to get to the ancient temple.

This ancient temple has been dilapidated for a long time, and the path to and from it is also overgrown with thorns. Knee-deep weeds. Where there is no sunlight, there is a thick layer of withered yellow and aged leaves. Where the trees are a little sparse, all kinds of weeds grow wildly. If you want to pass, you have to spend a lot of time.

After standing for a long time, I felt very stuffy.

Meng Xingnan frowned, and muttered, "Alas, I didn't want to use the spirit rune, but I didn't expect it to be such a waste." ”

As he spoke, he flipped it in his hand, and suddenly a fire talisman appeared, and with a flick of his finger, the fire talisman should fly out, and the flames immediately soared into the air, and the flames burned around those weeds and fallen leaves. For a while, there was a chaotic sound, as dense as a bead. Smoke billowed into the sky.

Strange to say, although this fire is large, it only burns within a radius of a few zhang, and it does not burn outside. It burned for a while, and when the weeds and leaves were almost gone, the fire gradually went out, and the sound gradually faded away.

Then, Meng Xingnan pinched his fingers again, and the soil on the ground suddenly turned over, sinking all the ashes and branches that had been burned by the fire into the ground, covering them in an instant.

These are all side door spells on the "Shimen True Solution" passed on to him by the Dustless Daoist.

Now that he has broken through the innate and is able to transform the aura of heaven and earth into true yuan. It's not difficult to use simple spells like fire talismans and ground stabbing techniques.

After clearing these debris, Meng Xingnan came to the temple.

I saw a dilapidated plaque on the ground, engraved with three big characters of "Stone Buddha Temple". However, after the wind and sun, the paint surface has been mottled, and the three golden characters are already dull.

Only one of the two temple doors fell to the ground, and the paint on it had fallen off due to the erosion of the wind and rain.

Most of the walls around the ancient temple have collapsed. The dust on the ground was also very thick, and there were cobwebs hanging in many places in the corners.

Meng Xingnan saw such a decaying situation, and secretly thought: "This stone Buddha temple should have been built by nearby villagers, but now the world is in chaos, and the people themselves are mostly too busy to take care of themselves. I wanted to come to this stone Buddha temple, and few people came, and the incense was broken. The monks in the temple had to leave because they couldn't hold on, so they were abandoned for a long time. ”

Thinking to himself, he stepped under the fallen old wooden door and made a creaking sound.
