Chapter 8 Qingniu Temple
The master focused his attention and said, "This time, thanks to fellow Daoist Li's move, he used the ultimate yang and strong energy in the Yuangang Sword to activate the three Vajra Seal Formation, and was consistent with the key Vajra Evil Suppression, which was the key to the formation. Only then did the maximum power of this formation be exerted, causing the destruction of the ghost market to be destroyed and the injustice will be repaid. Otherwise, the ghost market will not know what time it will return. I believe that the people here will no longer have to worry about these evil spirits being in chaos. Fellow Daoist Li is kind-hearted, please accept Yang Yuanshan's bow!"
When I saw that my master bowed to Master Li Zhengfu, I, as an apprentice, naturally bowed to Master Li Zhengfu with my master.
Taoist Master Li Zhengfu smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Yang is too good. I know that I have done what a cultivator should do. Besides, if it weren't for the tacit cooperation of Daoist Yang, even if I was determined to use the Vajra Three-Section Formation, I wouldn't be able to set up the formation. It is said that the real person does not show his appearance. Fellow Daoist Yang is humble and should have received a bow..."
The master hurriedly stopped Taoist Master Li Zhengfu from getting up and saluting. Taoist Master Li Zhengfu sighed and immediately ordered Bu Yique to say, "Yique, I am seriously injured now, so you should bow to Taoist Master Li on your behalf, otherwise I am afraid that my master will be in a lifetime..."
Bu Yique agreed honestly and immediately bowed respectfully to the master. When Bu Yique finished bowing, he nodded slightly and said, "Hehe, if I don't accept this affection from fellow Taoist Li, even if I am in the future, I will be uneasy, haha..."
The master seemed to attach great importance to these Taoist rules and etiquette. He smiled happily several times in a row. I can only say that the master is too old-fashioned.
Taoist Master Li Zhengfu asked immediately: "Fellow Daoist Yang, why did you come here? I wonder where you are going?"
The master replied with his fists: "I'm not hiding it to Fellow Daoist Li, my bad disciples and I went west to make a trip to Shanxi, just to find the eight treasures of the Maoshan Sect who had not returned from their homes!"
Speaking of this, the master's face was obviously a little dull, and his brows gradually frowned.
Li Zhengfu said "Oh" heavily and said, "Well, Fellow Daoist Yang, do you have any specific clues?"
The master nodded and said, "Well, if the news is accurate, there should be some clues in Tongyao Town, Shanxi. We came here and passed by. I didn't expect to encounter this..."
Li Zhengfu's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this and asked with a smile: "Daoist Yang knows where Tongyao Town is in Shanxi? South? West? North? Even East? Haha..."
"Oh?" The master was stunned in surprise and said, "So... Tongyao Town should be extremely remote and difficult to find? Fellow Daoist Li said this... Could it be that Fellow Daoist Li knew which place?"
Li Zhengfu smiled slightly and nodded without denying it, "It's true that this matter is a few years. Fifty years ago, I was a teenage baby, just about the same age as these two babies. At that time, I went with my master. In the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, it was the period when people were living in trouble. There was smoke of war everywhere. As for those outside of us, we naturally could not be spared. My master took me to travel around the world with the determination to help the world, but he found a pure land outside the world in the vast mountains north of Shanxi!"
"Pure land outside the world? What do you say about Fellow Daoist Li?" Master asked anxiously.
Li Zhengfu licked his dry lips, nodded and continued, "Fellow Daoist Yang is a master of Tantric Buddhism. Natural Taoism is profound and omnipresent. Looking at the nine main dragon veins in China, the ancient origin was the Western Kunlun Sacred Mountain. Later generations also said that nine dragon veins are spread all over the country, but only contemporary strangers can understand the virtuality and reality. Dragons are a spiritual creature, so they will naturally not stay in one place for too long. However, my master discovered a dark dragon vein hidden underground in Tongyao Town. This dragon vein condensed spirits and gathered energy, and could not be entrenched. Over time, he could sense a trace of imperial energy!"
"Oh?" The master was slightly surprised, then thought for a moment, and said, "If such a dark dragon vein is the best place to be the emperor's dragon cave. Is it... Well, I understand so, but I don't know which monarch from the dynasty was fortunate to make this dragon cave..."
Unexpectedly, Li Zhengfu smiled mysteriously and said, "I'm afraid that Fellow Daoist Yang will not believe it. In short, if you get there, you will know it at a glance. However,... Fellow Daoist Yang, the mountains are deep in Tongyao Town, and the journey is long. Needless to say, the difficulties and obstacles are not to be mentioned, otherwise it would not be a pure land outside the world. I believe that the Japanese invasion had never been to that place after a few years."
The more Li Zhengfu said this Tongyao Town became more and more evil. Even I opened my eyes wide and stared at his lips. Master Li Zhengfu sighed and said, "If I hadn't been severely damaged in my energy, I could have guided the way for fellow Daoist Yang, but I...ah!"
The master hurriedly said, "I have taken the heart of Daoist Li, but the next thing is the responsibility of our Maoshan disciples. How can we bother Daoist Li to go? Daoist Li... Daoist Li said by the way? Is Daoist Li's ultimate goal not to find spiritual treasures?"
Taoist Master Li Zhengfu smiled and said, "Catching spiritual treasures... It is natural that our generation is responsible for practicing Taoism and doing good deeds. But I heard that lichs were prevalent in northern Sichuan recently. Haha! Daoist Yang should also understand the temper of our Taoist people. He always cannot resist those chaotic monsters. So this time I plan to take my little disciple to North Sichuan to see what happened. The so-called world is full of wonders, and it will also allow the ignorant little disciple to have a long experience."
The master smiled and nodded, saying, "Fellow Daoist Li is grateful to Yang, but it is not the north of Shanxi that Daoist Li is the one who is on his way. I, Yang Yuanshan, remember this heart of Daoist Li, only wait for a period of time in the future, and we will sit down and study the essence of Taoism!"
Li Zhengfu seemed to be worried and felt a little embarrassed: "It's not that I insisted on showing off in front of fellow Daoist Yang. This trip to Tongyao Town is really dangerous... It's better to do this. It's difficult for me to walk here, so let the young disciples go to Tongyao Town with you, and I will catch up with you again."
I looked at Bu Yique in surprise. Master Li Zhengfu had been to Tongyao Town with his master fifty years ago. Now Bu Yique is only nineteen years old and must have never been there. Why should I let Bu Yique lead us?
I looked at my master again and found that his expression was similar to mine.
Li Zhengfu smiled slightly and said, "I understand your doubts, but as long as I say something, Fellow Daoist will understand that it is the treasure of my Laoshan Town Sect, the Wanfu Pan."
The master immediately smiled suddenly, nodded and said, "Haha, I have heard that the Wanfu Pan of the Laoshan Taoist Sect is as famous as the secret compass of my Maoshan Sect. Today I encountered such a rare treasure, which really opened my eyes. Since the disciple is in charge of the Wanfu Pan, what else can I find? Haha..."
I really want to see what the Wanfu Pan they mentioned is, but Taoist Master Li Zhengfu and his master are all Taoist elders here, so I naturally dare not act rashly, so I had to keep this question... I asked Bu Yique in the future, hehe!
Bu Yique suddenly spoke, "Master, you are seriously injured now, Yique is here to serve you!"
Master Li Zhengfu was like his master, and he was angry and said, "Bastard! You don't listen to what Master said?! Master Yang's Taoism is profound and his practice is getting deeper. You are here with Master Yang this time. You are also blessed to be with Master Yang. Remember to treat Master Yang like a filial piety and a teacher. Follow Master Yang's words in everything. You are not allowed to make any decisions. Do you know?!"
Bu Yique lowered his head and was stubborn for a long time before nodding helplessly and said, "...Oh!"
But Bu Yique immediately thought of something and said, "Master, then I will carry you to Jiangjiazhuang for cultivation now. If there are no disciples around you in the future... You always have to take good care of yourself..."
As I said that, I saw Bu Yique's eyes red, and I felt grateful. It was no wonder that he was adopted by Taoist Li since he was a child. Until today, I have to say that I will leave for a few days. It is fake not to be sad. I accidentally saw the master beside me, and I felt warm in my heart.
This time, Master Li did not object, nodded slightly, and did not speak anymore. It seemed that he felt a little touched, but because he was not easy to express his face as a teacher.
In this way, Bu Yique picked up the Yuangang sword on the ground and carried Master Li on his back. Only then did we walk out of the dilapidated temple one after another. Before leaving, I looked up at the temple. Everything in the temple was a decoration that I didn't know, because no matter the cloud pictures, portraits, or the statues placed behind the table, they were all strange outfits. I tilted my head and looked at it for a long time before I quickly caught up with my master.
I still couldn't resist the doubts in my heart, so I asked casually: "Master, why doesn't this temple even have a name? And I never seemed to have seen that statue of god before."
The master nodded and said, "Well, this temple has become deeper and deeper over the years. I'm afraid no one has repaired it for many years. The statue of the gods is incomplete and has long since disappeared. The gods inside have long returned to heaven. If the world is disrespectful, it will naturally not stay here for a long time. This place is a green cow temple!"
"Qingniu Temple? What... What is Qingniu Temple?" I asked even more confusion.
The master was patient this time and said, "This green bull is the mount of the Taishang Laojun. It was with Laojun and became an immortal. It ascended to the thirty-third level of the true immortal world and became a divine cow. Under Laojun's influence, it occasionally went down to the world to save the world and save people. Naturally, people also built temples for it. However, in recent years, the Japanese invasions have spread everywhere in wars. I am afraid that this place has not been spared, resulting in the Qingniu Temple being destroyed and no one worshipped. Only a Vajra Evil Suppression Talisman in the gate has magic power. It is precisely this time that we can escape."
I finally understood the whole story, but there was still something unknown at the moment, so I immediately asked: "Master, can you tell me what is the Vajra Three-Sealing Formation? Hehe, just one formation can turn hundreds of evil spirits into ashes. It's so amazing!"
The master nodded cautiously and said, "You have also seen this formation as it is the Yang Catching Formation set up by Xiao Bingsheng in the cave that day. On the basis of the Yang Catching Formation, he blessed the Vajra magic power to break the three cuts of evil debts. Well, if you want to explain this Three Cuts of Vajra to you, you have to start with the Yang Catching Formation..."
I listened happily and wrote down the words below my master without saying a word. It turned out...
Chapter completed!
