103, Master Zhaodao, Ma Xiangu (1/2)
Uh-huh!
At a certain bend on the mountain road,
The cool moonlight fell, reflecting the shadows of the trees on the road.
Su Wu suddenly emerged from the shadows. He couldn't stop trembling all over. He immediately picked up the merit box at his feet and threw a hundred-dollar bill into it!
The weirdness that gathered around him quickly dispersed in an instant because of the hundred-dollar bill that was thrown into the merit box.
The young man's figure merged into the shadows again.
Disappeared without a trace again.
After more than ten breaths,
Su Wu shuttled through the shadows one after another, turned into a bifurcated concrete road on the mountain road, and kept shuttling in and out.
In the reality in the shadow gap, dense bamboo forests on both sides of the cement road are gently moving in the wind.
The green sea is full of waves,
At the end of the bamboo forest, a Taoist temple stands majestically.
Walking through the shadows on this cement road, Su Wu clearly felt that the oppressive charm from all around was gradually weakening.
When he finally reached the entrance of the Taoist temple,
The strong charm suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Su Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
Such a strong charm suddenly disappeared when approaching Yunlong Temple.
It is enough to show that there may be important things in Yunlong Temple that contain the "Intestine of Three Purities"!
In front of the Taoist temple's open space, the moonlight illuminates the trees, casting sparse tree shadows on the ground. The dark wind was blowing all around, and the leaves were fluttering and rustling.
The shadow on the ground suddenly opened a thin crack.
Su Wu walked out of the crack. The ghostly hand under his arm reached into the crack and dragged the cocoon wrapped around Taoist Huang out of the shadow.
He stood in the shadows, sweating profusely and looking pale.
It was as if he had just been fished out of the water.
The mysterious charm that shrouded the area around Shanlong Road was too strong. Even if Su Wu used the shadows to travel through it, it was as if he was swimming in the deep sea, under tremendous pressure.
Not to mention that the real situation in the shadow gap is also distorted by the charm and appears strange and chaotic. He needs to be vigilant at all times in order to choose the right location to escape from the shadow and pay the "protection fee" to the "Three Pure Intestines". , to prevent the other party from chasing you immediately.
Walking in this kind of mysterious area is a great test for the mind and body of the controller.
Fortunately, Su Wu finally passed successfully.
He stood there and rested for a moment,
He let his complexion return to normal, wiped the sweat off his face, and then began to help the old Taoist priest untie the cocoon of embroidery thread.
When Taoist Huang emerged from the cocoon, he saw Su Wu who looked calm and unchanged from before.
"Taoist Master, we have arrived at the gate of Taoist Temple."
Su Wu looked at the embroidery threads condensed with the charm of the embroiderer on the ground. After being cut one by one by himself, they slowly disappeared and turned to face Taoist Huang and spoke.
The old Taoist priest nodded and looked up at the main gate of the Taoist temple, which was not huge and majestic, but also symmetrical and square.
Two large black wooden doors closed tightly.
The animal-headed door knocker was connected by a large iron chain, with a large lock in the middle.
Taoist Huang took out a bunch of keys from his pocket, smiled and said to Su Wu: "I'll open the door for you."
Saying that, he walked to the door first.
Grab the big lock on the chain and use the key to open it.
He took off the lock, put away the chain, and reached out to push the two doors.
With a slight push, the two doors didn't move at all.
Um?
The old Taoist priest frowned, feeling as if something was pressing on the back of the door. He tried harder, but the wooden door was still tightly closed, with no signs of opening.
Su Wu looked at Taoist Huang,
Taoist Huang smiled sarcastically, pushed his shoulder against the door, and exerted force——
Suddenly, it felt like his shoulders were pressed against an iron plate without cracks. Not only did it not change, but it made Taoist Huang's old bones ache!
Strange!
Before I left with my apprentice, I only thought that I might have to stay at the foot of the mountain for a few days. I chained the door and did not take any other precautions.
Why do the two doors now look like two steel plates are welded together?
It can't be pushed at all!
"Let me do it."
Su Wu felt that it was a bit difficult for the old man to push the door open, so he walked to the door and looked at the door first. He found no other lock mechanism, then he used all his strength and hit the wooden door!
Boom!
The wooden door was hit with a loud bang!
But it still hasn't opened, especially not moving at all!
With Su Wu's force, the iron plate could be dented, and a human-shaped hole was knocked out of the wooden board on the spot - but these two wooden doors showed no change at all!
Something's wrong...
He looked at the Zodiac Priest.
Taoist Huang also looked at him, looking a little embarrassed and said: "I don't know what's going on. It seems that these two doors can't be opened."
The old Taoist priest glanced at the wall next to him.
This means that since you can't pass through the main entrance, you can climb over the wall and get in.
Although the courtyard wall is high, it is only two or three meters high. With Su Wu's ability, it is easy to climb over the wall.
——After all, the old man still doesn’t want the main entrance of his Taoist temple to be broken.
Su Wu followed Taoist Huang's gaze towards the wall, and saw strands of hair floating along the wall, dancing in the wind in mid-air.
The clumps of black hair grew like seaweed.
Rich red light emitted from the wall at this moment.
Countless black hair were knotted together, wrapped around a red lantern. The lantern was pushed by the wind, swept by the black hair, and crossed the wall, illuminating the open space in front of Yunlong Temple crimson.
The red light spread over Su Wu's shoulders,
He turned back to look at the old Taoist priest, his body tensed silently, and his eyes were slightly undulating: "It seems we have no chance to climb the wall..."
Taoist Huang saw the red lantern rising in the void behind Su Wu.
As well as the black hair surrounding the lantern like a whirlpool, his eyes were horrified.
The old man didn't know that the head of a person illuminated by a red lantern might detach from his neck and rise to the sky, turning into a red lantern.
especially,
There were only two people here, Su Wu and Huang Taoist.
Neither of them reacted, and they were illuminated by red light at the same time, so one of them must have his head followed by the red lantern!
Even both of them might be killed by the red lantern!
That's why Su Wu said that they had no chance to climb the wall!
However,
The red light shone on the two of them,
one second,
two seconds,
Three seconds...
More than ten seconds passed, and Su Wu's head stayed still on his neck, and the head of the old Taoist priest in front of him did not turn into a balloon and fly away.
strangeness……
Su Wu's eyes were surprised,
Then he looked at the old Taoist priest Huang Daozhang. Is there something that can resist the power of the eyes?
Before he could ask the old Taoist priest this question,
From the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the two large black wooden doors beside him, which had been covered by a layer of jet-black hair from unknown time.
The layer of hair was tangled and knotted, sealing the wooden door.
The hair flows down, over the open space under the steps, and extends to the foot of an old locust tree in the corner of the open space.
Under the old locust tree, you can vaguely see a well with a diameter as large as a bucket.
well?
Why didn't you see a well there just now?
I didn’t see a single hair wrapped around the wooden door!
Did the appearance of the red lantern bring about these changes, or did its appearance 'reflect' these existing things?
Su Wu blinked, pointed to the black well under the locust tree, and asked the old Taoist priest: "Taoist Master, did you see a well there?"
"How can you not see such a big well?" Huang Taoist replied casually. He frowned, "But I've never seen a well like this in front of the Taoist temple before..."
The old Taoist priest also cast his gaze on the red lantern in the void.
I feel that all this is just a strange change brought about by the red lantern and the hair.
"Go and have a look."
In the simulation, Su Wu didn't pay that much attention.
Immediately he strode down the steps and walked straight to the old locust tree, where he saw traces of cuts on the bark of the locust tree.
Those old traces are now seeping blood.
The blood flows, connecting those traces into traditional Chinese characters.
‘Zhao died today at the hands of Sanqing’s Changchang! ! !
When I was young, I was frail and sickly, and was likely to die young.
Taoist Meng Tianwang Guanyunlong did not give up, and he worshiped under his disciples. He practiced Taipu Baodan Kungfu to maintain his health. After his health became stronger and stronger, he followed his master to practice Tianwang Suo Wei Hammer. Finally, at the age of thirty-seven, he locked the "Ten Thousand Eyes of Wei" on himself. body, benefiting one party.
…’
There are hundreds of bloody words dripping on the old locust tree.
It tells the life of a man named ‘Zhao’ whose surname is unknown.
This person is a Taoist master who uses the "Heavenly King's Locking Hammer" to contain the "Ten Thousand Eyes", which is now known as the Eyes, in his body.
——The eye is so cruel that this Taoist Zhao can directly lock it in his body. The method can be said to be otherworldly, which makes Su Wu amazed.
Thereafter,
'Zhao' Taoist became a Taoist couple with an unknown person, only called 'Ma Xiangu'. The two relied on the evil spirits in each other's bodies to suppress the evil spirits contained in themselves and prevent them from resurrecting. Ten or twenty years of peace.
Later,
Taoist Master Zhao and Ma Xiangu felt that they could no longer suppress the evil in their bodies, so they began to look for other methods.
The Taoist master secretly sensed that there was a ghost in the direction of Mingzhou that seemed to be inexplicably connected with the Wanmugui he suppressed, so he set out for Mingzhou with Ma Xiangu.
Here, they saw with their own eyes the resurgence of the ‘Three Pure Intestines’,
The two people, who were well aware of the dangers of the Three Pure Intestines, worked together to fight against the Three Pure Intestines here, but in the end they were powerless and both died here.
However, even though the two of them were dead, they also used an extremely special method to allow the ghosts contained in their bodies to still stalemate with the "Intestines of Three Purities" after they were revived, restraining this extremely terrifying ghost and making it Full recovery is always elusive.
'Zhao' Taoist master also mentioned in the blood book that if one day there are signs of recovery of the three pure intestines again, he can choose a descendant with a destiny of 'greatness in the fire', and carry the original Tianzun statue that the two people have accumulated with strange charm. If you carry your back to the place where the intestines of Sanqing are revived, you can still suppress it temporarily.
This Taoist master's autobiography is very short, with more than 300 small characters, written all over the roots of the old locust tree.
But just over 300 words corresponded to Su Wu's thoughts.
His idea was to move the original statue of the Goddess to the abandoned cemetery memorial hall to see if he could suppress the Sanqing's bowels!
I just didn't expect that you need to be a member of the Taoist sect with the fate of "Great Being in the Fire" for moving the statue to be effective - Su Wu is not a member of the Taoist sect, and he doesn't know if he is a "Great Being in the Fire". Fate.
I just had to give it a try.
What if the blind cat encounters a dead mouse?
If he fails, Daoist Huang is a member of the Taoist sect, so he can try.
The 'primordial statue of God' enshrined in the Taoist temple is not a product of modern times, at least it is a statue of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Taoist Huang said that this statue was previously placed in the memorial hall of Longshan Cemetery.
After the cemetery was abandoned, he moved the statue back to continue worshipping it, instead of destroying it at will. I don’t know if it is a destiny?
Or, since the death of Taoist Master Zhao, the surrounding area has not been deserted, but there are still people who quietly guard here, taking care of the statue, allowing it to continue to this day?
In the meantime, the years have passed, and the world has changed.
There was also a strange thing that it gradually disappeared, and it was only gradually revived in modern times.
The statue has not been lost or destroyed. It must be said to be a miracle, and it is also the persistence of several generations.
The bloody words on the locust tree gradually dimmed and disappeared.
At some point, Taoist Huang also followed and saw the bloody words on the tree, with some inexplicable emotion in his eyes.
Su Wu turned around and looked at him, asked him to wait beside him, and he observed the deep well under the locust tree.
The hair spreading out of the well blocked the main entrance of the Taoist temple.
——After the strange resurrection, the arrangements made by Master Zhao Dao and Ma Xiangu also revived.
Their power sealed the entire Taoist temple to prevent others from entering and leaving at will and destroying their arrangements in the Taoist temple.
Yunlong Temple was sealed very tightly, and Su Wu could not get in even if he used the power of the ghost hand.
This led to a problem-how to move the statue if you can't get in?
How to suppress the intestines of the Three Pure Ones if you can't move the statue?
Master Zhao Dao detailed the method of suppressing the intestines of the Three Pure Ones in the blood letter, but he didn't tell the later ones how to step into the Taoist temple sealed by the two of them?
