Chapter 819 Ancient Seeker

Seeing that Fan Jiannan and Feng Yuan stayed in front of Qin Keshi for a long time, that person seemed a little impatient.He took the initiative to walk to them, intentionally or unconsciously said, "This stone is very special."

"Yes." Fan Jiannan just nodded.

"Some people say that the Mount Tai stone carvings are not as precious as these ten seal scripts." The man sighed, "But I don't think so. The Taishan stone carvings cover the entire history of Chinese calligraphy and show the art of Chinese calligraphy." The development of the miraculous shape and the same line of development. Although this Qin stone carving is the first of its kind in Mount Tai, the historical value of its characters is certainly not cheap, but the beauty and artistic value of the characters may not be the best."

Fan Jiannan smiled slightly, then turned his head and said, "Does the small country of Dongying dare to talk about the beauty of writing?"

The man frowned slightly, smiled and said, "I think you have misunderstood, I am not Japanese."

"Oh?" Fan Jiannan looked at this person and frowned, "So, are you..." This was the first time he looked at this person.The man on the opposite side seemed to be in his 40s, with ordinary looks and ordinary clothes. He belonged to the type who walked in the crowd without anyone noticing him.However, Fan Jiannan keenly noticed that there was a ring on the little finger of his left hand.

"My name is Wu Jinshan, and I'm a teacher." The man extended his hand politely.

But Fan Jiannan didn't intend to shake hands with him at all, he just looked at him and said, "Sorry, I don't shake hands with people I don't know."

"Maybe you don't know me, but I do know you, and Miss Feng beside you." Wu Jinshan smiled and withdrew his hand.

"Of course, otherwise, why would you have followed us?" Fan Jiannan shrugged, "International Yishu Council?"

Wu Jinshan smiled, "No, I'm just an ordinary middle school teacher. Just like you, I have some interest in ancient stone carvings."

Fan Jiannan nodded, "I'm not interested in you personally, but I'm a little interested in why you follow us."

Wu Jinshan said nonchalantly, "I'm not following you, I'm just following something on your body. As far as I know, some things are special, such as the five-color stone on your body."

"Five-color stone?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

"Oh, I forgot, you are used to calling it the Jade Talisman of the Five Sacred Figures." Wu Jinshan said calmly.

"Who are you and why are you looking for me?" Fan Jiannan said coldly.

Wu Jinshan sighed and said, "I am the Quanzhen Taoist Longmen sect who has guarded Dai Temple for generations."

"Taoist?" Fan Jiannan was slightly taken aback, "Didn't you just say that you are a teacher?"

"The identities of being a teacher and a Taoist priest are not contradictory. A teacher is a secular identity, and a Taoist priest is the affiliation of faith. Taoism not only advocates being born into the world, but also pays attention to joining the world. While pursuing liberation, it does not give up real life. In fact, the true The Longmen Sect of Quanzhen Taoism, which has guarded the Dai Temple for generations, has not been in the Taoist temple since the last century, but in the folk." Wu Jinshan said slowly. "Do you feel a little ironic?"

"How do you know about us?" Fan Jiannan looked at Wu Jinshan and asked.

"You should know." Wu Jinshan said slowly, "I have known since you brought the five-color stones up the mountain. Mount Tai is located in the east, the earthquake of the eight trigrams, the tree of the five elements, the spring of the four seasons, the life of the five-color green The source of the sun, the source of the sun. In the eyes of Taoist Qi refiners, the mountains have their own spirituality. And the five-color stones on your body will interact with the spirituality of the mountains. So I have noticed you before you go up the mountain .”

Fan Jiannan frowned and said, "I didn't feel the induction that Bi said, but I just felt that someone was spying on us all the way."

"The spiritual sense of this mountain range is equivalent to a kind of earth energy. Even if ordinary magicians feel it, it is difficult to distinguish it." Wu Jinshan said lightly, "But you have finally come. If it is a few years later, even if you come, you will not be able to tell." makes any sense."

"What are you talking about?" Feng Yuan asked in surprise, "You mean, you knew we would come this morning? You haven't seen us before, but you're waiting for us here?"

"The Tao Te Ching says: If you don't go out, you know the world; if you don't peek into the world, you can see the way of heaven. The farther you go, the less you know. It's not me waiting, but we are waiting." Wu Jinshan glanced at Fan Jiannan and said, " Come with me, two, we should have a lot to talk about."

"Where do you want us to go with you?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

"It's just a place suitable for conversation." Wu Jinshan glanced at him and said.

This Wu Jinshan seemed to be very familiar with the Taoist priests in Dai Temple, but he just made a special gesture to one of the Taoist priests, and the Taoist priest quickly nodded in return.Then took them to a locked room in the backyard.The Taoist took out the key and opened the door, then left without a word.

Wu Jinshan stretched out his hand to Fan Jiannan and Feng Yuan, "Please, both of you, it's quieter here, so it's easier to talk."

Fan Jiannan pushed open the door and walked in, and found that although the room was locked outside and it seemed that no one had been there for a long time, the inside was tidy and clean, and even the tea on the table was boiling hot.Wu Jinshan stretched out his hand and said, "Please, both of you."

After Fan Jiannan sat down, he picked up his teacup and said calmly, "It seems that Mr. Wu really has a lot of face here."

Wu Jinshan smiled lightly and said, "Fortunately, we people have been in contact with the Taoist priests of Dai Temple for a long time. In fact, they also know who we are. The Taoist priests here come and go, and they come again and again. We are just passers-by, we are the real masters of Dai Temple. When distinguished guests come from far away, as masters, we must always do our best as landlords.”

He said to Fan Jiannan, "Wushu people have a great reputation, and they were the leaders of the Central Plains art world. But we are just outsiders, and we have little contact with Wushu people. So what is the reason for the two of you to come to Mount Tai this time?" Why, can you tell me in detail?"

Fan Jiannan looked at Wu Jinshan and said, "Yes. We are here for the True Shape Map of the Five Sacred Mountains. We are looking for a special place. It is said that this place may not be very eye-catching, but it is the key to triggering the inner secrets of the True Shape Map of the Five Sacred Mountains. .”

"True map of the Five Sacred Sacred Mountains, look for the orifice of Mount Tai again!" Wu Jinshan said in shock.

"So, you know the location of the orifice?" Fan Jiannan looked directly at Wu Jinshan and asked.

Wu Jinshan calmed down, shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Fan Jiannan frowned and said, "Since you don't know, why did you think we'd look for the Five Sacred Land Aperture?"

"This is a legend with a long history. It is said that there are underground caves criss-crossing under the Five Mountains, and many incredible things are hidden in them. One is said to be demons and ghosts, who were suppressed by righteous people under famous mountains and rivers. It is also said that it is The even more mysterious secret of longevity has been held under the five mountains forever by the ancient immortals. But as far as I know, it is just some absurd legends, and there is no real evidence. Since ancient times, no one has found the orifices of the five mountains.” Wu Near the mountain is calm and authentic.

"Why are you so sure?" Fan Jiannan said calmly.

"Since the 15th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, when the Daolu Department was established in the capital, we, the Longmen Huashan School of Quanzhen Taoism, have guarded the Dai Temple for generations. After the Ming and Qing dynasties, and then through the Republic of China, to New China. The Dai Temple on Mount Tai has suffered from wars many times. , Man-made disasters. The ancestors of all ages watched the rise and fall of Taoism, and saw the Dai Temple from prosperity to decline, repeatedly damaged and rebuilt many times. But we have never left. No one is more familiar with the situation of Mount Tai than us." Wu Jinshan said slowly , "I can even tell you the age of the construction of every stone step I passed, and the history of every stone carving on this mountain. But I never knew about the caves of Mount Tai."

"Even if it is groundless, it may not be without reason." Fan Jiannan said slowly, "We have come into contact with a lot of ancient books and classics before we came here, most of which have confirmed the existence of the Five Mountains and Earth Apertures. How can this be explained?"

"These legends are elusive and hard to find. In addition, the Taoists of all dynasties have advocated the theory of gods and immortals. The facts described are too exaggerated and untrue." Wu Jinshan shook his head and said, "Even if there really was a so-called Mount Tai hole, it is very likely It no longer exists."

"Oh? How did you see that?" Fan Jiannan couldn't help but ask.

Wu Jinshan said with a wry smile, "You have also seen that Taoism has been declining in modern times, just like the whole country. In 1929, the government ordered Dai Temple to be turned into ZS Market and Zhongshan Park, and statues of gods and ancient steles were demolished. The ruins are dilapidated. In 1930, Tai'an, Shenzhou, became the battlefield of the Central Plains War again. The mountains were filled with battle trenches, and the monuments, stone carvings, scenery, and temples were destroyed. Even the murals of the Tiankuang Hall of Dai Temple were also destroyed by artillery. In 1931, Ma Hongkui built a martyr’s shrine in Haoli Mountain and demolished the temple in Haoli Mountain. In 1938, when Tai’an fell, most of the Taoist temples in the villages near Mount Tai and in the area of ​​Mount Culai were destroyed by the Japanese army. Especially the historical and cultural sacred place Wuyan Mountain Palace, Yuxu Palace, once destroyed. What you see now is everything after reconstruction."

His voice was full of vicissitudes and helplessness, "Although Mount Tai is the head of the Five Sacred Mountains, like this country, it has gone through thousands of years of ups and downs. The historical sites you are looking for are even more ancient history. You Are you really sure you can find it?"

Fan Jiannan looked at Wu Jinshan and said slowly, "First of all, how do you know that the Mount Tai hole we are looking for is a historic site? Second, I don't seem to have said much about the Mount Tai hole. How do you Will you know that it is a longer history?"

Wu Jinshan's expression was slightly unnatural, but he immediately smiled. "I have lived in Mount Tai for a long time, and I have been influenced by Taoist legends since I was a child. Naturally, I know a little about these legends. And I saw you stop before the Qin Stone Carvings just now, so I can tell what kind of place you are looking for. If If we guess correctly, it must be pre-Qin or even earlier."
