Explore Changbai Mountain

Chapter 370

After the three of Chen Ziyang got off the plane, Liu Cong had already been waiting there, picked up the three of them and drove straight to their destination.

"Have you brought anything?" Liu Cong asked Chen Ziyang.

"Bring it." Chen Ziyang knew that what Liu Cong said was referring to the bronze compass made by Zhang Taixu.When contacting Liu Cong before, Liu Cong specifically told Chen Ziyang to bring the compass with him, just because he was afraid that it would be useful when he was looking for the holy land of Taoism.

In fact, even if Liu Cong didn't say anything, Chen Ziyang would still bring the compass. The test was set by Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian, and the brass compass is so exquisitely made, maybe the two of them would leave some behind. The mechanism can only be cracked with this compass, so it is very necessary to bring the compass.

On the way, Chen Ziyang and Liu Cong discussed the Taoist holy land.

"Liu Cong, I know that Jiuyi Mountain is the mausoleum of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, Zhaoling, but what does it have to do with the Taoist holy land? The Tang Dynasty attached great importance to Taoism. Could it be that this Taoist holy land was built by the people of the Tang Dynasty? I was a monk halfway, and I never heard of it. You said something about a Taoist holy place, do you have any information?"

"We don't know much about this. In the previous Taoist literature, there is no mention of a Taoist holy place here. Jiuyi Mountain is more than 1000 meters above sea level. It looks like a pen holder when viewed from the east. It is also called Bijia Mountain. Looking from the southwest, it looks like an overturned bucket. In the eyes of Fengshui masters, the Fengshui of this mountain is beyond words.

Sitting in the north of Weiwei, covering the center of the pass, it is arched by nine mountain beams to form a peak, and one peak is unique, so it is called Jiuyi Mountain, and these nine mountain beams are also called nine dragon spines.Backed by mountains and Jingshui, Jiuyi Mountain is surrounded by mountains in front, and the plains, mountains, and water are set against each other. It is indeed a rare geomantic treasure.

Except that it is the location of Zhaoling Mausoleum, there is nothing too famous about Jiuyi Mountain. We also searched in many ways, but found nothing.However, we estimate that all of this should be related to a legend about Jiuyi Mountain. "

"The legend of Jiuyi Mountain? Could it be that this legend has something to do with Taoism?"

"Yes, Jiuyi Mountain covers a relatively large area, and there are also a lot of geomantic treasure caves there. Apart from Zhaoling, there are also some dragon caves with very good geomantic omens in other places.

Empress Wu Zetian once asked Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, both masters and apprentices, to be a concubine for her and choose the Dragon Cave of the Mausoleum.Li Chunfeng set off first and ran for 81 days to find a dragon's cave in Jiuyi Mountain. He buried a copper coin in the hole to mark the location.

Later, Wu Zetian asked Yuan Tiangang to go out to look for it.It took Yuan Tiangang seven to seventy-nine days to find an auspicious place in Jiuyi Mountain, so he pulled out a silver hairpin from his head and inserted it.

Wu Zetian asked people to verify whether the dragon caves chosen by the two were the same, and when they dug it up, it turned out that Yuan Tiangang's silver hairpin was inserted in the square hole of the copper coin buried by Li Chunfeng.The positions of the dragon's acupoints chosen by the two are exactly the same, exactly.

This legend should be real, and it has been recorded in many Taoist classics and other books.But there is something wrong. Wu Zetian was later buried in Qianling, which was not the dragon's cave in Jiuyi Mountain that Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng chose.

Since Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng chose the same dragon's cave at that time, it means that this dragon's cave should be more than enough for Wu Zetian's mausoleum.But such a geomantic treasure was not built into a mausoleum, so there must be some secrets in it.

We have guessed before whether it is possible that the Taoist holy land is located at the location of this dragon's lair.But judging from the last words left by Zhang Taixu, it seems that things are not so simple.

Zhang Taixu said that one has to go through the seven trials to find the Holy Land of Taoism, starting with stargazing at Mount Jiuyi, so that means that the Holy Land of Taoism should not be located at Mount Jiuyi, but it must be related.Maybe Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng discovered another dragon vein when they were looking for the dragon's cave in Jiuyi Mountain.

After all, Jiuyi Mountain is the location of Zhaoling, the originator of the Tang Dynasty because the mountain was the mausoleum, and it also belongs to the area of ​​the Tang Dynasty's imperial tomb. It is almost impossible to build a large-scale Taoist holy place there, which is tantamount to digging the Tang Dynasty. The emperor's tomb is gone. "

When Liu Cong said this, Chen Ziyang already understood a little bit. He touched his chin with his hand, and after thinking for a while, he said: "You mean that it is very possible that this Taoist holy place was not built by Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian. But what they found was some relic left after Yuan Tiangang built it?"

"Senior Brother is Senior Brother. He is really smart. I just told the legend, and you have already guessed the general idea. Yes, this is exactly our guess.

Since it can be called a Taoist holy place, the scale of this place must be quite large.Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian simply did not have the ability to build a holy place.

Yuan Tiangang is originally a member of my Taoist family, and he is deeply favored by Wu Zetian, so he should have a lot of real power in his hands. It is not impossible to build a holy place, but what is this holy place used for? I don't know what to do.

We guess that Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian discovered the Taoist holy land left by Yuan Tiangang by chance, so the two of them later hid the iron book about the treasure of the dragon veins of the Qing Dynasty there, and the seven tests may be It was left by the people who built the Taoist holy land, but it was borrowed or transformed by Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian. "

"If this is really the case, it would be a bit bad. This holy land of Taoism may be much more difficult to deal with than I imagined." Chen Ziyang said with some concern.

"That's right, that's why I organized this training camp. Since you don't know what you're going to face, it's better to prepare as much as possible. It's better than waiting." Liu Cong nodded and said.

Originally, Chen Ziyang thought that the test of the Taoist Holy Land this time should not be very dangerous. After all, Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian just wanted to test the abilities of the later Taoist children and see if Taoism has declined.As long as you pass their test, you can get clues to the dragon veins of the Qing Dynasty, and use the treasures inside to develop Taoism.But with what Liu Cong said, the situation is a little different.

If this Taoist holy place was really built by Yuan Tiangang, then the danger inside is likely to be much greater.Who is Yuan Tiangang, he is a leader in Taoism, and the traditional formations and mechanisms simply cannot enter his eyes.

Although Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian's abilities and identities are not as good as Yuan Tiangang's, but after all, these two people also made alchemy for Yongzheng, and their abilities are not that small.

The Taoist holy land left by Yuan Tiangang, coupled with the transformation of Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian, it seems that these seven tests are not so easy to pass.

"Brother, you don't have to worry too much. I once thought that since Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian were able to crack the mechanism in the Taoist Holy Land, we should be able to do it too. This time your Fifth Grandfather has spent all his money, and all the elites have come out. All human and material resources are given way to this operation, and the combined strength of all of us should be much greater than that of Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian."

After a few hours of driving, the four of them arrived at the training location this time.After getting off the car, Chen Ziyang looked around. He found that this place was similar to the training place organized by Liu Cheng when he rescued him last time. It was also an outdoor field game field for live CS, but this time there was no dragon's lair at all. .

In order to prevent the leakage of news as much as possible, the training location this time is still far away from Jiuyi Mountain.However, according to Liu Cong, if the weather is good, if you stand at a high place, you can see the looming outline of Jiuyi Mountain on the horizon in the distance, which is not too far away.

After Yang Lei and San Shishuai got out of the car, they couldn't wait to ask Liu Cong for two guns and some bullets, and ran to the distant shooting range to enjoy themselves.After seeing only a dozen or so people in the field, Chen Ziyang was stunned.

"Liu Cong, are we here early or are these the people you trained? Didn't you say that all the elites are out? Is it just these twenty or so people? Is this all your strength?" In other scenes, Chen Ziyang asked a little depressed.

"Soldiers are expensive but not many. These people are all carefully selected by me. They are all outstanding and absolutely reliable. This time the team that will really enter the Holy Land is these twenty or so people plus Mao Shan. Seven divisions.

Small teams have the advantages of small teams. Some things cannot be done well with a large number of people. Large troops will stay on the periphery to support them. But to be honest, if something really happens, those people may not be reliable.

Originally, Jin Huang and Fang Zheng were also coming, but they had other things to do and couldn't participate in this training camp. There were also three other old guys. They are called brothers, and they are all at the level of my master.

They are all not young, and they are used to being pampered. It is impossible for you to expect them to improve something through this period of training. It is good that they do not make trouble for you.

But there is one thing you can rest assured about. These people are trustworthy in their abilities. Their achievements in Taoism are several levels higher than yours and me. If you want to crack the seven tests, you mainly rely on them.

You don't have to worry too much, I will introduce you to each other when the team gathers to set off, but these old guys are all arrogant and pretentious, and they often look at people with the soles of their feet. Don't take to heart what offends you. "

Hearing what Liu Cong said, Chen Ziyang felt relieved. People with high abilities that Liu Cong could affirm would not be inferior in level, which reassured Chen Ziyang a lot.

Early the next morning, Chen Ziyang got up early, found a place with relatively high terrain, and looked towards the Jiuyi Mountain in the distance.However, because it is relatively far away, one can only vaguely see a high mountain rising from a plain.

Looking at the towering Jiuyi Mountain in the distance, Chen Ziyang took a deep breath.Unexpectedly, a poor boy who was born in a valley would have the opportunity to get in touch with the holy land of Taoism. It can be considered that he has not worked in vain in this life, and a sense of accomplishment spontaneously arose in his heart.And the paramilitary training camp organized by Liu Cong officially started on this day.

The content of the training camp is not too much.Every morning when the weather is not hot, all the people carry out physical training at the same time. In addition to the regular running and equipment training, sometimes there will be some simulated confrontation in groups in the real CS field to increase everyone's actual combat experience.

After lunch, the training program was transferred indoors.In addition to being familiar with the use and operation of firearms, communication equipment and some professional instruments, all people also need to learn sign language and light language to facilitate coping with various emergencies.

After dinner, there is free time for activities. Chen Ziyang uses this period of time to improve his mana, and often discusses some Maoshan Taoism with Liu Cong, and reads some Taoist classics. The two learn from each other and live happily It is also relatively substantial.

All the training team members live in a small building on this site. This small building is actually a hotel. Whether it is food or accommodation, the conditions are very good, and everything they need is readily available. Everyone lives happily. It's also impressive.

Chen Ziyang and Shanshi Shuai enjoyed it, but Yang Lei was depressed. After all, he came here to pretend to be a fork. He didn't expect that this time the training camp would be so serious, the requirements would be so strict, and the amount of exercise would be so heavy.

Shan Shishuai is a soldier who has never given up on physical exercise, and Chen Ziyang has been insisting on exercising for the past two years. Neither of them thinks that training here is a hardship. Only Yang Lei rubs his sore muscles every day. He complained endlessly.

Because he doesn't know the exact time of departure, Liu Cong asked everyone to regard tomorrow as the date of departure, and study hard every day, so that the things that should be mastered will be learned one day earlier, and the leftovers will be used for You will have more time to get acquainted, and you will be more fully prepared when it comes time to actually set off.

Waiting is the hardest part.Chen Ziyang asked Liu Cong the date of departure several times, but Liu Cong was not sure, after all, he only knew that the astrology had changed, and the date of the seven stars gathering was brought forward, but the exact date depends on the movement of the stars.

The matter of stargazing has been handed over to others, and people observe the positions of the stars every day, so as soon as there is news, they will be notified immediately, but it is really too difficult to determine the departure time.So everyone is carrying out hard training day after day in this tangled mood.

Soon, more than a month passed.In this more than a month, everyone has learned almost all the things they should master, so Liu Cong's requirements are not as strict as at the beginning, and a few people can drink a little wine during dinner. Relieve the fatigue of the day.

However, in order to prevent the leakage of news and the investigation of the Dragon Digging Society's spies, as well as for everyone's safety, all people are still under strict control and are never allowed to leave this camp.
