I'm looking for longevity in Liaozhai

Chapter 169 Emei
Then Zen master Xiaoru told Wang Zhe how he met the fox demon.

The master and apprentice went down the mountain this time at the request of a layman at the foot of the mountain. The layman said that a woman would appear in his son's room every night to have fun with him every night.

But within ten days, his son became skinny.

But he was addicted to it, couldn't extricate himself, he didn't listen to what he said, and even scolded his parents, as if he was a different person.

After the master and apprentice went down the mountain, they arrived at that family's house.

As soon as the woman appeared, she turned around and ran away when she saw the two of them.

The two master and apprentice chased it out, but the woman disappeared. They searched in the nearby mountains, but they found the fox demon just now, so they chased after her.

Then there is what just happened.

"Master, the person has been buried, ashes to ashes, dust to dust." Monk Yixin entered the temple.

"Okay." Monk Xiaoru nodded.

"I also found something from that evil cultivator, and brought it here by the way, Master, please take a look."

Monk Yixin took out a white bone knife, a small black triangular flag, and a bottle of elixir.

"This is the magic weapon of Jiuyou Sect. The white bone knife, Jiuyou flag, this person is indeed from Jiuyou Sect." Seeing these magic tools, Monk Xiaoru looked solemn.

"Recently, they have become more and more presumptuous."

"Jiuyoujiao?" Wang Zhe was very familiar with the name.

"The benefactor has seen them too?"

"Indeed, I have seen them in Yangzhou and Qingzhou, but I don't know where they come from?" Wang Zhe asked curiously.

"Oh, have they traveled that far? I thought they were only making waves in this area of ​​southern Yunnan?

I don't know where the Nine Nether Sect originated, but I only know that they have existed for a long time, and they believe in the Nether Emperor.

Those who practice are all evil methods, and many innocent people have been killed in southern Yunnan over the years. "

Mentioning the Nine Serenity Sect, Monk Xiaoru looked angry.

"Such evil people should be sent to Nether, and let them meet their Nether Emperor."

"Benefactor, do you eat steamed buns?" Jia and the others stopped talking, and Monk Yixin took out a steamed bun from the cloth bag and handed it to Wang Zhe.

"No, thank you." Wang Zhe said with a smile.

There were no more surprises in the second half of the night.

Wang Zhe asked the master and apprentice about the directions of the two beautiful mountains and rivers in Emei and Qingcheng, and the news about the two sects.

"Emei is the righteous spirit of this generation in southern Yunnan. In recent years, he has often sent his disciples to walk down the mountain, killing demons and demons, and helping the righteous way.

On the other hand, Qingcheng hardly saw their disciples go down the mountain these years. "

The Jianyuan Temple where Xiaoru lives is not particularly far from Mount Qingcheng.

"If the almsgiver goes to Qingcheng Mountain, he will not let go of the Jianyuan Temple where the poor monk practiced as a guest."

"Okay." Wang Zhe said with a smile.

After dawn, the master and apprentice bid farewell to Wang Zhe and prepared to go back.And Wang Zhe continued northward with Laifu and Tuanzi, planning to visit Emei first.

"Master, just now the benefactor's practice is very advanced. After you were poisoned and unconscious last night, I carried you to the ruined temple. I only saw a ray of light, and then the evil cultivator was killed."

"Well, the cultivation level is really high." Monk Xiaoru nodded. "It's not that tall."

On the other side, Wang Zhe led Fu and Tuanzi to stop and go all the way, traveling during the day and looking for a place to stay at night.

It can be done in the city, or in the mountains.

After two days, I saw a mountain range from a distance, and under the sunlight, there were colorful rays of light shining, majestic and beautiful, very extraordinary.

Emei, a blessed place in the cave.

The Emei School is also a spiritual show of righteousness in the southwest.

"I don't know if there will be Ziqing twin swords and Haotian mirror in that mountain." Wang Zhe said with a smile.

In fact, Emei can also be regarded as Shu Mountain. The so-called Shu Mountain is not a mountain, but a collective name for the mountains of Shu.

The "Biography of the Swordsman in Shushan" written by the master of Huanzhu is also based on Emei.

Close to Emei, this place is much more peaceful than some places Wang Zhe passed by.

There are no robbers, no evil spirits, and it is estimated that they will be surrendered by Emei disciples soon.

After eating something in a town down the mountain, he took Laifu up the mountain for a walk.

It's a pity that I was stopped by Emei's disciples halfway.

"My fellow Taoist, I don't know what is the purpose of coming to Mount Emei?" The monk was very polite.

"I've heard about Emei's name for a long time, so come and take a look." Wang Zhe said with a smile, he came here purely to see, the kind of sightseeing.

"I don't know where fellow Taoists are practicing?"

"Mountain wilderness training."

"Well, Fellow Daoist, if there is nothing urgent, it's better not to go up the mountain." The monk said very tactfully.

This is pushing people away.

"Nothing to do, go down the mountain quickly, go elsewhere." This is what the words mean.

"Well, I have a question I want to ask."

"Fellow Daoist, please speak."

"There are two fairy swords on Mount Emei, one is Qingsuo Sword and the other is Ziying Sword?"

"Yes, Emei does have these two fairy swords, but they were lost hundreds of years ago. Do you know the whereabouts of those fairy swords?"

"Lost it?" Wang Zhe was taken aback when he heard this.

How could such treasures of Zhenshan be lost?

"Where's the Haotian Mirror?"

"What is Haotian Mirror?"

"Nan Ming Li Huo?"

At the mention of this name, the monk in front of Wang Zhe frowned slightly.

"Who is this fellow Taoist?"

"I'm just asking casually, don't be so nervous."

"Let's go, Laifu, they won't let you go up the mountain." Wang Zhe walked down the mountain with Laifu.

The monk behind him was still a little worried, followed behind Wang Zhe, watched them go down the mountain, and then returned to the mountain.

"This person is so strange! Could it be that he covets Emei's treasures?"

"Laifu, this road doesn't work, let's try another road, it's hard to come here once."

Mount Emei is very large, and there are many roads up the mountain.

Wang Zhe took Laifu to a small road and walked slowly up.

This time no one appeared out of the blue to stop them.

Crashing, the sound of running water in the mountain stream.

Halfway up the mountain, a waterfall remained and fell into a pool.

A man in Tsing Yi sat cross-legged on a rock by the pool.

Wang Zhe didn't bother him, and continued walking up the mountain with Laifu.

The man turned his head and glanced at Wang Zhe.

The higher you go, the thicker the fog on the mountain.

Walking, Wang Zhe stopped.

There was a person lying on a large bluestone near the cliff not far ahead.The sun just fell on him, making him look very lazy.

Ok?
Hearing someone approaching, the man sat up and glanced at Wang Zhe.

The man was in his 20s, and he was quite handsome, but his hair was disheveled, and he looked a little rough.

Then he lay down again, and made a sudden movement, staring at Wang Zhe, and then at Lai Fu beside him.

"Not from Emei?"

"No." Wang Zhe shook his head.

"That dog is nice."

"Well, I think it's pretty good."

"what is it call?"

"Is it a dog called Laifu?"

"Well, a very auspicious name, how about you?"

"Wang Zhe."

"Emei, Gu Changfeng."

"Happy to meet."

"Have a drink?" Gu Changfeng took out a jar of wine as if by magic.

"Thanks, I want to go around."

"Uh, this is Emei. It may not be easy to get around. Anyway, I have nothing to do. How about showing you around?"

"Well, that would be troublesome."

"No trouble, I have nothing to do anyway."

Some people can become friends just by looking at each other with just a few words.

Some people are naturally hospitable.

Gu Changfeng seemed to be a naturally hospitable type, and he seemed to be pleasing to Wang Zhe.

He took Wang Zhe up the mountain, met several Emei disciples along the way, and greeted him every time he saw him. Obviously, his status in Emei was not low.

Suddenly there was a chirping sound in the sky.

Looking up, Tuanzi was surrounded by two cranes.

"Could it be that the goshawk is also from fellow daoists?"

"Exactly, I'll call it down now." Wang Zhe shouted, and the tuanzi flew down from the air and landed on a tree beside it.

"An eagle!" Gu Changfeng exclaimed.

They continued to go up the mountain. On the way, Gu Changfeng was still introducing some scenic spots of Mount Emei to Wang Zhe.

Ding dong, a melodious melody suddenly came to mind on Mount Emei, it was the sound of a piano.

"Does it sound good?" Gu Changfeng stopped and turned to look at Wang Zhe.

"Very beautiful."

"That player who plays the piano is also a wonderful person. By the way, apart from fellow Taoists, there is another guest who came to the mountain today besides your position." Gu Changfeng said with a smile.

Emei, near the top of the mountain, a small pavilion.The pavilion is surrounded by clouds and mist.

Sitting in the gazebo are two people playing chess.

One is a monk wearing a monk's robe, looking about 70 years old, a little thin, with a white beard, and opposite him is a Taoist priest in his 40s, wearing a light gray robe.

"I heard that the master found the seal of Tianlong Buddha?"

"Rather than finding it, it's better to say it was sent back," said the monk.

"Oh, who is willing to send back that magic weapon after getting it?"

"King of Zhennan." The monk said three words.

"Him?" The Taoist was startled slightly after hearing this.

"He personally sent the Longfoyin back that day, and even went up the mountain specially, drank a few cups of tea, ate a bowl of vegetarian food, and chatted with me about Buddhism."

"It's so interesting!" The Taoist said with a smile after hearing this.

"I also received an invitation card from the capital, inviting me to go to the capital to talk about Buddhism, and take a look at the Eight Desolation Monument by the way."

The Taoist made a move and stared at the chessboard in silence for a moment.

"I got it too."

"go?"

The Taoist shook his head.

"It's not that I haven't seen it before." The Taoist said with a smile.

"I haven't fully comprehended Emei's magical powers yet, why go to see the Eight Desolation Monument?"

"You have seen it thoroughly. I heard that many people went there, even people from the Da Guangming Temple in the Western Regions went to ask for it." The old monk said.

"The Eight Desolation Monument is indeed mysterious, but what one can learn from it varies from person to person. Some people can find wonderful spells from it, while others will sink into it, become enchanted, and lose their lives."

"Well, the poor monk also heard a piece of news, that the man who wants to seize the power of the world's heaven and earth for his own use."

"Oh?" The Taoist raised his head after hearing this, with a look of surprise on his face.

"He has practiced the Four Elephants Divine Pill. One pill has entered the fairyland, and he has a lifespan of 300 years. This is not enough. Could it be that the King of Zhennan told you this news?"

"Exactly." The old monk nodded.

"Haha," the Taoist laughed, "This King of Zhennan"

"The one has already ordered that in the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, the vassal kings of the world will go to Beijing to face the saint. Do you think they can return to the fief after they go?" The old monk picked up a chess piece and looked at the chessboard, hesitating.

"You and I are both practitioners, so we don't need to care about trivial matters in the secular world."

"The poor monk also thinks about it, but if what King Zhennan said is true, can we stay out of it like you and me? Your Emei is better, the sky is high and the earth is far away." The old monk said.

"The sky is high and the earth is far away, huh?" The Taoist suddenly turned his head and looked aside.

"what happened?"

"A distinguished guest has come from the mountain."

In the mountains, Wang Zhe looked at the big bird in front of him.

Its shape is like a crane, like a peacock, but it is full of blue feathers, noble and extraordinary, standing in the forest, staring at Laifu on the ground, Laifu looked up at it.

"Is this the legendary Qingluan?"

"Exactly." Gu Changfeng said with a smile.

"Unexpectedly, I can see this legendary spirit beast here. I always thought it was only in Kunlun." Wang Zhe looked at the divine bird that was taller than a human.

Bark, Laifu barked at it twice, and Qingluan responded with a clear voice.

The tuanzi flying in the low altitude also landed and stared at Qingluan, seeming slightly panicked.

Qingluan is a divine bird, with a very high status among the birds, which stems from the suppression of blood.

"Brother Wang, I'll take you to another place."

Gu Changfeng led Wang Zhe towards the back of the mountain.

At this time, a monk came to the side.

"Senior Brother Gu, the head of the sect invites you to bring the distinguished guests to the Guanhai Hall to meet him."

"know."

"Brother Wang, what do you think?" Gu Changfeng didn't take Wang Zhe directly, but asked his opinion.

"Didn't you say that there are distinguished guests on the mountain? It's better not to bother." Wang Zhe said with a smile.

"The scenery of this Emei is indeed exquisite and extraordinary. Feast your eyes. Thank you, fellow daoist. I want to go down the mountain and leave."

"Well, since you are willing to see my master, forget it, let's go to another place."

"Thank you, I should go down the mountain."

"Okay, I'll see you off." Gu Changfeng sent Wang Zhe down the mountain, and returned to the mountain after seeing him go away.

I went to Guanhai Pavilion and met my master.

"Master."

"What about people?"

"Going down the mountain."

"Down the mountain?"

"Well, he said he didn't want to come and disturb you and Zen Master Yansheng, so he went down the mountain."

"Interesting, what do you think of him?"

"Very good, I brought him to meet Qingluan, but Qingluan didn't respond, so it shouldn't be a demon heretic." Gu Changfeng said.

"That's all." The Taoist smiled and waved his hand, Gu Changfeng glanced at the chessboard.

"Master, you are going to lose."

"Well, is that so?" The Taoist looked down at the chessboard.

"It really is."

On the mountain road, Wang Zhe turned his head and glanced at Mount Emei.

"This place is really nice, Laifu, we may have to change places when we go back."

Although the place where he practiced before can be regarded as Lingxiu, but it is relatively close to the city, so it is easy to be noticed by others.
