24. The Great War Between the Monks
Have a good night's rest, and the next day the four of them will go on the road in the morning. The first stop is Mount Emei, which is a three-hour drive away. It is said that this Mount Emei is actually a famous resort in Shu. In the past, people said that the mountains and rivers of Xishu were strange, and Emei was especially victorious, which was true. There are many spectators in the temples and temples on the mountain, and there are not many good men and women who face the mountain every year. In addition, the mountain scenery is strange, and there are many people who come to see the scenery. However, most of the people who travel to the mountains go to the Thousand Mountains. The back mountain is rocky, rugged and bumpy, extremely inconvenient to walk, plus jackals and beasts haunt from time to time, most of the people who go can not come back, so few people go to the back mountain. Of course, the above are all things before the Republic of China. Now which scenic spot has not been developed, Emei Houshan has long been repaired stone steps for visitors to climb. As for the beasts and the like, I'm afraid they have all been skinned and stewed in soup a long time ago, and I can still see them anywhere. Wu Daoan had previously talked to Gu Xiaoxuan about this matter. Gu Xiaoxuan told him that the Wudang faction had indeed had dealings with Shushan many years ago, but since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the aura of heaven and earth has dried up, and the Wudang faction has been declining day by day, and the Shushan faction has always regarded itself very highly, so it cut off its relationship with Wudang. Since the Yongzheng Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, no Wudang Sect has ever visited Shushan, including her master, the current head Gu Yunhao, who also went deep into Bashu to find the entrance to Shushan when he was young, but found nothing. She only knew that the entrance of Shu Mountain was constantly moving on the mountains in the Bashu area, and there were profound prohibitions on it, which were difficult for even Jindan monks to discover, let alone crack.
The four of them climbed along the stone steps of the back mountain, because ancient books recorded that the mountain gate of Shu Mountain had appeared in Emei Hou Mountain 200 years ago. I couldn't go far, and the two girls were tired. Then everyone found a gazebo to rest for a while. Not long after he sat down, Han Zongxian's expression suddenly moved slightly. A moment later, Wu Daoan also heard a quarrel in the distance, vaguely with words such as "Dongfu", "magic weapon", and "forbidden". He and Han glanced at each other, and then went to the toilet one after another to leave.
The source of the sound is not too far away, but far away from the stone steps. As we all know, it is very dangerous to walk on such a steep mountain without steps, but Wu Daoan is a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, and Han Zongxian's physique has also greatly improved after this period of time, and he can already slowly absorb spiritual energy, which can be regarded as a monk in the early stage of qi training, and it is not a problem to walk such mountain roads.
As the location approached, the sound gradually became clearer, and it seemed that the two groups were arguing. The two of them stopped and listened to what they were arguing about.
"You Shangqing Palace, don't deceive people too much, this cave mansion is obviously what my senior brother and I saw first!" this was the voice of a young woman.
"It's yours when you see it? Don't you take a look at our Shangqing Palace, and our Shangqing Palace has also become yours. "It's just a middle-aged voice,-for-tat.
"Fellow Daoists, we have already had rules in the cultivation realm, and those who have no owner come first and get it, so let's not break the rules. Another man spoke.
"What is an ownerless thing? This cave is clearly the retreat place of our ancestors of the Shangqing Palace, and all the magic weapons in it belong to our Shangqing Palace!"
"You are so good at it, you don't even know that your ancestor has been here before you have even entered the cave. Did your patriarch walk the world back then, and when he saw a cave, he went in and went around and wrote a trip here?"
"Daoyou Mingjian, it's true. ”
"Indeed NMLGB!"
"You are a monk, and you speak so rudely, don't tell anyone that I know you in the future. ”
Wu Daoan and Han Zongxian could hear it clearly in the distance. It turns out that this Emei Mountain Tang used to be a holy place for cultivating truth, and many predecessors and masters opened sects and caves here. Later, Taoism declined, and Mount Emei has been occupied by Buddhism, but there are still many Taoist priests who come here to hunt for treasures, hoping to get the inheritance left by the master to ascend to the sky. The two groups of Taoist priests apparently discovered an undiscovered cave one after the other, arguing over ownership. But looking at the way they quarreled, it was no different from street gangsters, and it was really a shame for the monks.
Wu Daoan looked at Han Zongxian and asked what to do next with his eyes. Han Zongxian said indifferently: "That group of people are only cultivating in the Qi cultivation period, you have a foundation building period, there is nothing to be afraid of." Let's see what magic weapons are in that cave. ”
So, the two of them took a few steps to the source of the sound. It was deep in a bamboo forest, and there was a small hole in the ground, and there was a forbidden aura attached to the hole, but it was already very light. Prohibition is the same as people, it has a lifespan. Over time, even the most powerful and complex prohibitions will come to naught. It is estimated that the prohibition at the entrance of this cave will completely dissipate in another two or three years, so it was discovered by a few Qi cultivation period cultivators.
There are two groups of people standing on both sides of the cave entrance, there are 3 people in a group, all dressed in green shirts, and the middle-aged man led by him is in the late stage of Qi training, and the young man and woman behind him are all in the early stage of Qi training. There are only 2 people in the other group, all wearing green shirts, a man and a woman, led by the man who cultivated in the later stage of Qi training, he is very short, not as tall as classmate Wu now, and his appearance highlights two words obscenely, which always reminds him of some famous sketch actors. In the middle of the woman's qi training behind her, her usual appearance suddenly became beautiful under the backdrop of this man. If these two groups fight, it is estimated that they will be comparable, and it will be difficult to win or lose, so everyone has been grinding their tongues.
As soon as Wu Daoan appeared at this moment, he immediately let them take a breath of cold air, and their eyes were full of fear. After all, it was not a problem for a mid-stage foundation building to clean up 10 late-stage Qi cultivations, and they didn't know the origin of this person, so they naturally became more and more in awe. At the same time, they were also amazed, when did they have such a young and beautiful foundation building monk?
But you have to say hello. Wu Daoan bowed his hand slightly, and was just about to open his mouth to introduce himself, when the green-shirted dwarf Taoist priest suddenly came to him with a few arrow steps, and actually knelt down with a "plop" sound, and then began to cry at his feet: "Uncle Zhou, looking forward to the stars and the moon, you can count it as coming." The disciple found a cave here, and planned to dedicate the magic weapon inside to you to repay the kindness of Tidian, but who expected to meet these thieves from the Shangqing Palace, who would be very disrespectful to you. When the disciple heard this, his heart was like a knife, tears were like rain, and he wanted to fight with them immediately, but he was afraid that there were too many of them, and I couldn't beat them, and I would lose the prestige of our Baiyun Temple. Uncle Zhou, you came just in time, you have to be the master of your disciples. ”
The faces of the three people in the Shangqing Palace suddenly darkened. The man at the head scolded: "You are still a monk, and you actually call someone Uncle casually in order to order a magic weapon, and you feed the dog with your cheeks?"
As soon as he heard this, the dwarf Taoist priest suddenly jumped up from the ground and retorted violently: "Ridiculous! How can I be a dignified seven-foot man! You can question my strength, but you can't question my personality!"
The women on the other side of the Shangqing Palace couldn't help laughing: "If you have a personality, the rooster can lay eggs." ”
The dwarf Taoist priest turned to Wu Dao'an and said with a sad and indignant expression: "Uncle! Look at it, they actually insult the personality of the disciple, is it unbearable! The disciple must go over and fight with them, uncle, don't stop me!"
"Okay, you go, don't fall into the prestige of our Baiyun Temple. The latter replied with a forced smile.
The short Taoist priest took out a suspiciously colored wine gourd from his crotch and blew on it, and the gourd suddenly grew to a height of 1 meter. Wu Daoan was also curious, although Han Zongxian had told him that the monk's magic weapons were strange and varied, but he really couldn't imagine how to use a big gourd to fight with people. Just when he thought that the short Taoist priest was going to rush over and fight hard, the latter suddenly seemed to think of something, stopped his steps, and turned his head to look at Wu Daoan with a desolate face: "Senior uncle, it is unpredictable that the disciple will live and die here." The disciple is by no means greedy for life and afraid of death, but there is still an 80-year-old mother in the family, and he is very worried about it. If the disciple dies in battle for the master today, he will also ask the uncle to take care of the old mother. ”
Wu Daoan still wanted to see the scene of him waving a big gourd and fighting, so he nodded and said, "You can go with confidence, your mother and my mother." ”
The short Taoist priest smiled miserably at him, as if he had finished a matter on his mind, and rushed over to the three people of the Shangqing Palace. The three of them also took out their magic weapons and waited for them. However, the short Taoist priest rushed out a few steps, stopped again, turned his head to look at Wu Daoan with a desolate expression again, and said, "Senior uncle, the disciple still has a concern. The disciple also has a 3-year-old son......"
This time, Wu Daoan interrupted him before he finished speaking: "Your wife and I support yourself, don't worry about it~"
Now the short Taoist priest has nothing to say. The three people of the Qing Palace on the opposite side understood it and began to ridicule it: "There is a kind of solo, and the master will let you make three moves." "I've taken out all my things, so you're going to show me this?" "Come on, come on, fight hard, who will instigate whom's grandson." ”
The short Taoist priest roared sadly, with a sad and indignant expression: "Okay, good, you three grandsons wash their necks, and teach the Taoist master my ability to move mountains and reclaim the sea, open up the world, and open up the universe invincible gourd fist!" This time he seemed to have made up his mind, and rushed to the opposite side without hesitation.
As a result, before he could take 3 steps, the female disciple of Baiyunguan behind him suddenly hugged him from behind his waist and said, "Senior brother, no! If you use this trick to move mountains and reclaim the sea to open up the universe invincible gourd fist, although you can defeat the thieves of the Qing Palace on the opposite side, but you yourself will be overwhelmed and broken and die!"
"Senior sister, don't stop me! Manly husband, what is death! As long as I can succeed the prestige of my Baiyun Temple, I will not give up my death."
"But, senior brother, junior sister is reluctant to let you go! You promised me to take me to see the snow on Long Island and listen to the birds of the Pampas Plains!"
"Senior sister, it's my senior brother who can't stand you. But for the sake of the dignity of the teacher, the senior brother must go! Promise me that when I am away, you must also learn to take care of yourself alone. Also, don't always go hungry to eat instant noodles, there are plasticizers. ”
"Senior brother!"
"Senior sister!"
