Lingxian Zhenjun

Chapter 162

thump~
The sound of bells reverberates in the clouds and mists in the mountains, the incense is curled up from the big tripod with bronze inscriptions on four legs, and the steep cliffs are full of Taoist scriptures and talismans. In the middlemost grotto, the voice of the celestial master reverberates beside the ears of Mingguang who is prostrating and chanting sutras.

"Mingguang come to see me."

"Yes, Heavenly Master."

Daoist Mingguang got up and walked to the Yongjing retreat room. The stone door opened in sight with a heavy sound. In the cave, the Changming oil lamps were placed in the shape of yin and yang. In the middle of the diagonally opposite Pisces, there was a high raised stone platform , surrounded by oil lamps, an old man with white hair and beard sits cross-legged on the stage, with a white robe outside and purple clothes inside, his eyes closed for luck, knowing that the bright light is coming in from outside, his lips are slightly closed and he cannot make a sound, but the words resound in the cave.

"At the foot of the mountain, there are distinguished guests visiting, go and greet them quickly."

"VIP?"

I am afraid that there are not many people in this world who can be called a distinguished guest by a celestial master. Perhaps the only one who can be invited is that one, but isn't he accumulating incense in the temple?
Thoughts were wandering, Daoist Ming Guang paid his respects, and after exiting the stone room, he went straight out of the Patriarch Hall, and with a whisk, he personally led people to the gate down the mountain.

At the vernal equinox, the mountains and forests are green and the birds are circling in the mountains. Chen Yuan did not drive away at this time, but led the old cow along the stone path, step by step, the trembling carriages trembled, and the wooden carvings embraced each other. Arm, the corner of his mouth curled up, extremely displeased with this way.

The crazy old man flew up a few big trees, as if he found something interesting, he picked off the leaves, took the colorful caterpillars on them to scare the old cow, jumped off the big tree, looked at the apprentice in front, and then He spread the leaves behind his back and handed them to the old cow.

"Haha, scare it to death! Niuer Niuer! Come on, this is..."

Before he finished speaking, the old cow turned his head and came over, thinking that he was rewarding him, he opened his mouth and ate the full leaf into his mouth to chew.

'Hmm... how juicy is this leaf? '

The crazy old man punched and kicked in his mind.When the old people left one after another and ran to the woods, the old cow grinned, and one eye socket was swollen.

"Why can't I feel the pain... Well, my mouth... Why can't I feel it..."

Chen Yuan was used to the noise of Master and Lao Niu coming all the way, so she didn't look back. She glanced at the surrounding forests and mountain streams, followed the direction Ming Hui said, and found another way up the mountain. Letting go of the reins, he cupped his hands and bowed towards the empty long steps.

"Chen Yuan from the Zhenjun Temple is here to pay homage to the Celestial Master."

The sound echoed, causing a group of birds to fly away. In the silence of the mountain forest, there was a sudden chuckle from there.

next moment.

In front of the long steps, there is a flash of light, and the four masonry pillars are towering, with white rocks as the fence and black tiles as the cover, which is simple and simple.

Under the mountain gate, there were four or five Taoist priests who followed the mountain gate to show their figures. The leader was none other than Daoist Mingguang, and when he saw Chen Yuan, he bowed his hands and saluted.

"Congratulations to Chen Daoyou for returning to the human body, and his cultivation has improved a lot."

"The Taoist priest is too famous." Chen Yuan bowed his hands to return the salute, and also bowed to the other four Taoist priests. After a few words of greetings, Ming Guang carefully looked at Chen Yuan in front of him, and then looked at the familiar ox cart and the old...

Ming Guang was stunned for a moment: "Fellow Daoist, you bastard..."

Turning her head, Chen Yuan saw that the old cow's lips were swollen, as if two sausages were hanging on it, shaking it back and forth as it chewed the grass.

"Uh... the cow may have eaten something it shouldn't have eaten on the way."

The Mingguang people over there also smiled, and greeted Chen Yuan and walked through the mountain gate together, walking up the stone steps mottled with moss.

Along the way, Chen Yuan couldn't help but look around. The spacious ashram is composed of floor tiles of different colors. In the distance, there are several attics with rolling sheds and cornices. , really brilliant style.

There are many Taoist priests from different sects in the Tianshi Mansion, most of them chanted scriptures and meditated against the sun in the dojo, or wielded mahogany swords, and walked slowly, without looking over because there were more strangers.

"The bullock cart stops here, fellow Taoist, and this old man, follow me into the Patriarch Hall!"

Generally speaking, Taoist monks ordained in the Patriarch Hall and Tianshi Mansion can only enter at certain times, but Chen Yuan and the crazy old man went in because the Tianshi specially told them to enter.

Here, Chen Yuan arched her hands, then lightly tugged at the master who was looking around, and followed Ming Guang to the cave with red silk hanging under the cliff at the front.

The patriarch hall is spacious, not only futons and altars, but also a cave on the other side for waiting or entertaining guests.Not long after, Ming Guang, who was going to the retreat room, came back. Behind him was a slightly fat old man, wearing a bun, with white beard and eyebrows, shaking hands and brushing the dust, walking over slowly, his long beard caressing his chest.

Chen Yuan immediately put down the teacup, stood up and announced his name, the old man over there smiled and nodded, and also looked at the young man in front of him, beckoning him to sit down in an easy-going tone, and his gaze fell to the side holding the teacup to look around crazy old man.

"Tianshi, this is my master. I don't know when I have been traumatized, and most of my mind is in a daze. I hope you don't mind."

"Hehe, how could you mind someone with such filial piety." The old man is a celestial master, and he looked at the crazy old man more and more like him, "I asked Mingguang and Yuchen to invite your master and apprentice to the celestial master's mansion before." When I saw it, I didn't know that it was delayed for several years because of other things, so I was looking forward to you."

The celestial master in front of him didn't have such a big ostentation, but he felt more like an ordinary old man to Chen Yuan. He arched his hands: "I just learned about it from Taoist Ming Hui recently, so I took it with me." Master rushed to Tianshi Mansion, but I don't know what order Tianshi asked us to come here?"

"It's okay, I just want to see you."

"See you?"

Seeing Chen Yuan's surprise, the celestial master dragged his white robe and got up, shook his wide sleeves, and saw a picture scroll floating out of nowhere in his hand. The figures on it were dressed in purple robes, their hair was combed neatly, their beards and long beards were fluttering, and their eyes were full. His eyes are full of spirit, and he holds a magic sword on his back majesticly, and holds a magic formula in one hand on his chest, surrounded by thunder and lightning.

Seeing the appearance of the characters in the painting, Chen Yuan's first reaction was to turn her head to look at the master beside her.

The crazy old man brushed his hair and said, "Apprentice, you are really handsome as a teacher, but you can't look at it like that... Huh!" The crazy old man widened his eyes when he saw the picture scroll floating in mid-air, he leaned closer to examine it carefully, and suddenly stretched out his hand Take it from the master of the day.

'hi~~'

The old man took a deep breath and rubbed his messy hair, "When did this old man dress so imposingly?" With his bulging eyes, he looked at the white-bearded and white-haired Celestial Master opposite him, "What do you think of this old man?" ? Let me tell you, don’t think that if you draw such a good painting for the old man, the old man will accept you as his apprentice. That’s impossible. I can’t even think about it.

The crazy old man jumped to Chen Yuan's side and patted his apprentice on the shoulder: "See, my disciple is here, and no one else will accept it!"

The master smiled and nodded that day, but just spread his hands, and the painting in the crazy old man's hand disappeared immediately, and returned to his hand to be rolled into a scroll.

He looked at the crazy old man, with a kind tone, and continued following the words: "If you don't accept it, you don't accept it. Can you let me feel the pulse."

"No." The crazy old man naturally refused, but Chen Yuan knew that the celestial master probably wanted to confirm whether the master was in the painting. In fact, when he saw the painting, he was also shocked. And clothes, the master is afraid that he is also from the Tianshi mansion, and his status is not low.

If the master's memory can be retrieved, it's nothing to ask this celestial master to take a pulse. Immediately after a few words of persuasion, the crazy old man reluctantly lifted up his cuffs and stretched out his wrist.

"You can only touch this place, but you can't touch other places, or the old man will turn his back on him. It's scary for the old man to turn his back on me. I'm even afraid! If you don't believe me, just ask the cow outside."

Tianshi and Taoist Master Mingguang thought it was the old man's crazy words and didn't pay attention to them. Tianshi touched the old man's pulse with his fingertips, then narrowed his eyes slightly, and took back his hand in just two breaths.

"Tianshi, can you find out why my master is crazy?"

"I was cursed by someone." That day, the master frowned with a pair of white eyebrows and whispered, stroked his beard and walked aside: "This curse is not common. The spell entangles the heart veins and the sea of ​​consciousness. Once the curse is undone, the loss of mind will endanger life..."

"No solution?"

The celestial master nodded: "This curse can only be broken out by oneself, and no one else can intervene. Looking at your master, I am afraid that the curse has been cast for many years, and the curse is deeply ingrained, and it is even more difficult to remove."

The room fell silent.

Chen Yuan silently looked at the master who was squatting on the chair over there, playing with a magic weapon he found somewhere, and didn't feel that he was crazy at all.

"Just now, I also confirmed that your master is the sixth generation patriarch of my Tianshifu..."

That day's master suddenly opened his mouth, and Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment. After a while, he saw that day's master, looked at the crazy old man playing over there, and asked softly: "Can you let your master stay in Tianshi's mansion? Let me wait as long as possible." Some filial piety to the patriarch."
