Chengtian Ba ​​Suo

Have you ever visited a temple?asked the old Taoist. 【 】

Seen.Tao Tiansong said: But there is nothing unusual about it, that thing only appeared recently, we don't even know whether he was born from the temple or not.

The old Taoist glanced at both sides of the mountain temple, and then stepped forward, looking like that, he wanted to enter the temple.

I hurriedly followed and asked him in a low voice: Did you see something?

It's a little weird.The old Taoist replied: The mountains and rivers are all tall and majestic, but this one is the shortest.The so-called mountain gods mainly focus on suppressing mountains and rivers.Such a terrain weakens the spirituality, and the person who built the temple must have a reason for choosing this place.

While talking, we walked into the mountain temple.There is a musty smell inside, there are spiders everywhere, people walk in and dust is everywhere.

The statue of the mountain god is enshrined on the large table, where there are several stone bowls and a stone-carved incense stand.I poked my head and looked inside, the incense stand was covered with gray and black things, I don't know if it was incense or dust.

As Tao Tiansong said, there is nothing special here, it looks like a failed mountain temple.

Thousands of years ago, our only meridian was located in the mountain in front of the mountain temple. Later, for unknown reasons, the ancestors moved the meridian and moved the mountain gate ten miles away.Tao Tiansong also led people in, behind us with a look of nostalgia on his face, and said: But even so, this is still the place where I have only one pulse, but now my pulse is as lonely as this temple, no one dares to bully me up.

I glanced at him. This is a scheming man who wants to revitalize Dushengmai.

The old Taoist glanced around a few times, then looked down, then shook his hand, lit a fire and threw it on the ground.

The fire was bright, illuminating the ground nearby. I looked down and saw nothing unusual.But the old Taoist asked: Has anyone come in recently?

Tao Tiansong shook his head and said: We seldom come here, so we don't know much about it.perhaps……

He only spoke halfway and didn't continue, and the old Taoist didn't continue to ask. After extinguishing the Taoist fire, he said: "That thing is hidden in the mountains and rivers, so I can't detect it."Its continuous wandering must be to absorb the essence of mountains and rivers, so it should not travel for the time being.But when this mountain collapses, it will probably leave. As for whether it will go to your only life, I don't know.

These words made Tao Tiansong's face a little ugly, and asked: With the knowledge of a master, can't you see the origin of this thing?

The old Taoist shook his head: I haven't seen it, so naturally I don't know.But judging from its tracks, it should be a kind of mountain spirit and wild monster.

Now even I, a practitioner, can hardly attain enlightenment, how do mountain spirits and wild monsters take shape?Tao Tiansong looked puzzled.

The old Taoist shook his head again: I don't know.But maybe, the movement of your only living vein ten miles away has something to do with this thing.

oh?Tao Tiansong was surprised, but then thoughtful.

Brother, what should we do now?Junior Brother Zhou asked.

Tao Tiansong thought for a while and said, "Everyone go back, and I will check once a day in the future to prevent accidents."

Everyone in Dushengmai looked at each other and nodded without saying a word.This action took me by surprise.

The mountain temple is ten miles away from the Dushengmai, and the ghost thing doesn't necessarily go to the Dushengmai, why do these people value it so much?

Obviously, there is a secret in this, Tao Tiansong lied to me and the old Taoist priest.

After leaving the mountain temple, Dushengmai used the method to drive the trees to help him walk, while the old Taoist and I walked slowly behind.

They have problems.I said.

Um.The old man nodded.

Will it be...

Nothing to do with us.said the old Taoist.

Then do you see anything?

It has been said.The old Taoist replied.

As he said before, that thing is suspected to be a mountain spirit and wild monster, and it was born to absorb the essence of mountains and rivers.This answer is surprising, just like what Tao Tiansong said, even humans can't cultivate, how can mountain spirits and wild monsters cultivate?

To this, the old Taoist replied: Although the essence of mountains and rivers is a kind of essence, it is heavy and difficult to absorb.Otherwise, Dushengmai doesn't need to worry.Therefore, anyone who can absorb the essence of mountains and rivers is a different species, not ordinary mountain spirits and wild monsters.For example, what is cultivated by vegetation and animals cannot be absorbed, only mountains and rocks can be absorbed.

Stones can also become monsters?I am a little surprised.

All things have spirituality, vegetation can become demons, why can't mountains and rocks.The old Taoist asked back.

I had no way to refute, so I asked him: Have you ever seen a stone monster?

The old Taoist shook his head: Nowadays, monsters are hard to find, only in ancient books.In ancient times, there were twenty kinds of monsters and ghosts, and among them, the mandrill was transformed from rocks.

Mandrill?The word is somewhat familiar, but for a moment I can't remember what it is.

Mandrill is the mountain god.The old Taoist said: There are good and bad, just like people.The mountains here are small, and it is not a place to suppress mountains and rivers.Therefore, this mountain temple should actually be a place to suppress mandrills.

There are still bad mountain gods... I was a little shocked, I always thought that the mountain gods were also gods, just like the land gods.

Mortal speculation, when it is not true.The old Taoist said: But in ancient times there were mountain gods who suppressed hundreds of mountains and thousands of rivers.This mandrill probably escaped from the place of suppression by accident thousands of years ago, disturbing the Dushengmai.Therefore, after being suppressed again, Dushengmai stayed ten miles away to prevent accidents.

Then why don't they just move thousands of miles away, isn't that safer?Shili, for you people, it's time to blink.I asked suspiciously.

Perhaps there are other reasons for the Dushengmai, which cannot be known.said the old Taoist.

Now that it has the ability to move, if it absorbs the essence of mountains and rivers, will it... I asked worriedly.

It doesn't matter.The old Taoist said: The world is not as good as it was in the past, and there is not much energy left in the mountains and rivers. Even if it is sucked away by it, it will not be a serious problem.What's more, the Dushengmai must have action, we don't need to ask.

I groaned and asked again: What kind of mandrill is that?

The old Taoist replied: It is transformed by mountains and rocks, and it has the spirit of mountains and rivers.Surrounded by clouds and mist, it is difficult to distinguish its shape.But the main body, which looks like a stone, is not difficult to deal with.

Then they can still be called mountain gods. I think those with the word "God" are very powerful.

I'm talking about now.The old Taoist said: Mountain gods are not gods, they are a kind of mountain spirits and wild monsters, but some mountain chirps wander around and stay fixed.It survives by extracting the essence of mountains and rivers, so it can suppress Qianshan.People are divided into three, six, and nine grades, and monsters are naturally divided into grades.The most powerful mandrill, blending into the mountains, is a hundred miles away in an instant.It is not difficult to absorb the essence of mountains and rivers to cause changes in the mountains and the vicissitudes of the sea.Therefore, although he has no physical power, he has great supernatural powers.

**force?Great supernatural powers?What's the difference?I'm at a loss.

The old Taoist glanced at me, shook his head and sighed, walked quickly, leaving me behind.

Ga?What do you mean?

Lord Jiao poked his head out of his pocket to look at me, spat out two mouthfuls of letters, shook his head, and slipped back into his pocket again.

Karma?What do you mean?

An old man, a little snake, what's the matter?

Anyway, I am also the descendant of Basuo!Don't you know little, why are you shaking your head, you really think I'm a rotten wood... that Bai Zai!

Walking back from the Shanshen Temple to Dushengmai almost exhausted me to death.The straight-line distance is five kilometers, but this is a mountain road, and the mountain road is difficult to walk. Five kilometers can almost be regarded as ten kilometers.

After returning, the meeting hall of Dushengmai was closed, and several young children were guarding the door.Seeing the two of us, everyone looked at us with vigilance.

The old Taoist didn't even look at them, he turned the corner and walked back to his room.

After closing the door, he sat cross-legged on the bed to heal his wounds, while I sat on a chair to rest.

Walking along the way is almost broken, walking with the old way is more terrifying than shopping with women.If I knew it earlier, I would have left him and ran back by myself.

I was idle and bored, teased Lord Jiao for a while, and after making him drowsy, I, who had no sense of accomplishment at all, took out the Tongming Jade Pendant.

Aren't there just a few people guarding the door? Even if we can't get in, we can still see what you are doing.

I put the Tongming jade pendant on my forehead, and extended my vision into the meeting hall.As expected, the older generation with only one pulse was there, even senior brother Du who was seriously injured was among them.

Although the Tongming jade pendant can see things thousands of miles away, it can't hear the sound, and I don't understand lip language, so I can only watch the mouths of everyone in the room discussing.

Tao Tiansong sat on the main seat and listened quietly, flipping through an ancient book in his hand from time to time.He frowned, sometimes a little joyful, and sometimes a little puzzled and troubled.

I extended my vision to ancient books, which used traditional characters, and the fonts were different from modern ones, making it hard to read.

Tao Tiansong only flipped through it and closed it every time. I never read it more than once. I read it for a long time before I understood the meaning of the two lines: The mountain demon was born, and the six realms were in chaos.Slay the demon and extract the essence, and retreat overseas.

There is also a line that reads: After a hundred years, enter Middle Earth and compete for the secrets of heaven.

These two lines are of great significance to Du Shengmai, but to me... I have a dime relationship?

I watched there for a long time, but I saw a group of people's lips trembling, and they couldn't hear the sound at all.This made me drowsy, so I simply took the jade pendant and sat obediently in the room.

The old Taoist sat cross-legged on the bed without saying a word, his whole body trembling slightly, and hot sweat kept streaming down his forehead.It seems that healing is not an easy job.
