Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Although Taoist Xuanying started to attract people again, but because there was not much time, Li Lijun hurriedly finished his tea, pointed to the sunset outside and said to him: "Senior Brother Xuanying, it's getting late, should we set off? "

Taoist Xuanying was in the middle of talking, looked at the sky outside, then turned around and said: "It's still early, don't worry."

Li Lijun said: "It's better to go there earlier. My little sister is taking advantage of it's still dark, so I can find out the way and go to the market next time, so I don't need my brother to lead the way."

Taoist Xuanying thought about it too: "That's fine. I happen to take you to enjoy the beautiful sunset under the Wei River."

Now the area around Chang'an has begun to enter a period of severe drought, and the water level of the Weihe River has dropped rapidly. Even if the sunset is beautiful, the scenery is not much better, but it makes people anxious.Li Lijun and Taoist Xuanying walked along the Wei River for a while, and after crossing the West Wei Bridge, they found an excuse to urge him to continue on their way.

Hu County is hundreds of miles away from Xianyang.People who normally ride in a carriage may not be able to arrive in a day.However, for two cultivators at the fifth level of Qi refining, as long as they let go of their speed and gallop at full speed, they can still run the entire distance within two hours.Li Lijun and Taoist Xuanying agreed to save some strength, but there was no intention of competing in their hearts.When they arrived at a remote and uninhabited creek near Hu County along the waterlogged water, Taoist Xuanying had already started to pant heavily, and Li Lijun had to take a deep breath for a while before calming down.

Then the two looked at each other and started laughing.

Li Lijun said sweetly: "Senior brother Xuanying has profound magical powers, my little sister almost missed it!"

Taoist Xuanying waved his hand: "Where is it, Junior Sister Li is the one with extraordinary talent, and she almost made a fool of yourself for my brother!" He began to introspect in his heart, this Junior Sister Li is only at this age, and she can do it in her original school. After learning this level, the future is limitless.If she changed to another teacher, would she be able to learn better than before?If a good seedling is wasted, it will be his fault!
But then he thought about it again, and felt that his approach of pulling people into the True Immortal Temple was correct.The background of Zhenxian Temple is indeed inferior to those traditional schools with a long history, but now it has abundant resources and a big backer, which can provide sufficient cultivation resources for its disciples.In contrast, those traditional big factions are already in decline, and they may not be able to support them anytime soon.It is a waste of talents to let good seedlings stay in that increasingly decadent sect!As long as Junior Sister Li has a good teacher with rich resources like their True Immortal Temple to support her, she doesn't need to go to the mortal world to experience such hard work at a young age!

Taoist Xuanying strengthened his determination to attract people, so he enthusiastically introduced Li Lijun: "Look, Li Junior Sister, this is where the market is located. You should take good care of the surrounding roads, and when you come back, don't take Wrong way." He pointed to an old temple directly above the river bend, "That's the entrance to the market."

Li Lijun took a closer look at the old temple and found that it was built with high-quality blue bricks. The steps in front of the door were also made of very good bluestone slabs. Weeds, but the whole temple does not have the feeling that it is so old that it is about to collapse.

Walking into the old temple, the houses inside are still clean, but the facial features and the color and pattern of the clothes can no longer be clearly seen from the statues enshrined in the main hall.The bluestone tiles on the ground had cracks of various sizes, and the altar was very old. It seemed that a leg had been broken and was reattached.There was a very old bronze incense burner on the table, even the decorations on the surface could not be seen. In the dark incense mud, there were dense incense sticks, some of which were relatively new.Everything was covered with thick dust, and the statues of gods were covered with cobwebs, and the curtains hanging around the temple were all tattered, entangled with cobwebs, and if pulled a little harder, they would tear and bring A cloud of ash fell to the ground.

Li Lijun looked at the situation in the hall, looked up at the plaque, and vaguely recognized the honorable name of the statue enshrined in this temple-"Cheng Tian imitated the law and made great virtues, and the land emperor's land only".

Her face changed slightly.

Taoist Xuanying didn't notice it, he just casually waved away the curtains and cobwebs hanging from the roof with his left hand, and at the same time covered his mouth with the sleeve of his right hand, and introduced Li Lijun: "This temple has been abandoned for many years, but the nearby villagers still think It works, and occasionally someone will come to offer incense. People who come to participate in the market come in, mortals only think that they are here to offer incense, and will not be suspicious. The entrance of the market is in the backyard. Junior sister Li is careful, this place It's dirty, don't let the cobwebs get on your head."

Li Lijun looked at him nervously: "Well...Senior Brother Xuanying, since we are going to borrow the place of Empress Houtu, shouldn't...should I give her an honor?"

"Empress Houtu?" Taoist Xuanying was stunned, looked at the statue, and suddenly realized, "So this temple is dedicated to Houtu? I always hear people say old temples and old temples, but I really don't know where there used to be Which deity is enshrined. But it doesn't matter, this temple has been abandoned for so many years, where is there any Empress Dowager? If you want to burn incense, you will not burn incense here. If Junior Sister Li is interested, I will take you to Xianyang Let’s take a look at the Houtu Temple in the city? It’s much more decent there than here!” He glanced at the plaque, “Look at this plaque, even the honorable name of Houtu is not written correctly.”

No, no, the honorable name of Empress Houtu is indeed "Chengtian imitates the law of great virtue and makes the empress the emperor's land", but this seems to be only after the Song Dynasty.Because of this, it seems so abnormal that this plaque will appear in Datang.Li Lijun was worried, and always felt that it was very inappropriate to just ignore this statue.

You know, Empress Houtu is still there!She is one of the immortals in the Ziwei Tianyu system!Li Lijun has never seen her with his own eyes, but when several immortals held a celebration, they gave immortal wine, delicacies, spiritual flowers and spiritual tea to hundreds of thousands of experienced practitioners, and Li Lijun also followed suit!Among them, the spiritual tea given by Empress Hou Tu, after she drank it, her soul became a bit stronger!If it wasn't for Empress Houtu's gift, how could she not be affected in her soul after experiencing so many mission worlds? !
Now, in the small world of Xuantang where she was born, there is an obviously unreasonable Houtu Niangniang Temple. Li Lijun always feels that she should go to worship, instead of just ignoring the statue of the empress and leaving her alone. The statue is covered with cobwebs and dust.

Li Lijun glanced at Taoist Xuanying, thinking that there is no way to explain this kind of thing clearly to the other party.Right now, it's important to go to the market first.Since the practitioners in the Guanzhong area used this back earth temple as the entrance to the market, they didn't pay attention to the real statue of the main hall when they came and went, so they probably didn't care that she came here when there was no one else. The temple will be cleaned up, and then incense will be offered to the empress.

But, what is going on with this temple?How could it be so deserted?What did the person who opened this place as the entrance to the comprehension market in the first place think?
