Chapter 557: Qingshan Temple at the Shouqu Mountain Gate
Shouqu County is not as big as Wu Town. It has only one long street as its main line. All people's activities are concentrated here. They landed in the afternoon. The local people on the beach were very familiar with Shen Li, so they asked when they landed.
"Hey, does Brother Shen have enough wealth to pick up a guest again?"
Shen Li responded politely, "When there are guests next time, I will introduce them to you, and we can make a fortune together."
The man smiled and waved to Shen Li, meaning to let Shen Li go first. He is very popular here. Only people who do good deeds can make a fortune. No wonder Zhang Xiuxian came to see the guide here. Shen Li is First.
They bought some things in Shouqu County. There are many people coming and going here. Shouqu County is the most populous place among the eight counties in Jingzhou, not only because of its central location, but also because of its unique scenery.
Shen Li led the three of them directly out of the town, and they headed up the mountain. When someone saw them and asked what they were doing, Shen Li said that the guests wanted to visit Qingshan Temple.
But when the other party heard this, he lost his face and even looked at Feng Yu and the others, saying that everyone who wanted to go to that place had a purpose.
Shen Li pursed his lips and smiled. He had probably begun to guess in his heart, or in other words, he had already guessed the purpose of Feng Yu and the others. Looking for medicine and so on were just a pretense, and Coffin Mountain was what they were looking for.
And he is a smart man, he sees things through without telling them, and he uses people's money to do things for others.
After climbing a winding stone road, they arrived in front of the Qingshan Temple. It was said to be in the middle of the mountain, but it was actually not that far away. Qingshan Temple has an independent feeling of Hanshan.
The name hanging on the door of Qingshan Temple is still the word Qingshou. It has been obvious that no one has been here for many years. The stone pillars of the door are covered with green stone moss. The temple door is wide open and the garden is in a mess. This temple It's very simple. On the left and right are the rooms where monks live, and directly opposite is the main hall. There is an unknown person in there, with red eyes and a yellow face, wearing a Taoist robe, and holding a diamond mace in his hand. He should be some god from the south.
Shen Li said that the person enshrined was Ru Tianshi, a deity in Taoism. Judging from the appearance, this deity must not be praying for blessings and peace, nor was he sending children for incense. No wonder Qingshou Temple has stopped offering incense.
Professor Xu is well-informed. He has traveled across the mountains and rivers, and he gave an overview of the god in front of him at a glance.
"For example, Tianshi is a Taoist immortal. He is an immortal who subjugates demons and suppresses evil spirits. It is mentioned in the "Gu Leng Sutra". For example, the legend of Tianshi slaying the earth dragon, becoming famous in a battle, and being granted the title of immortal. This temple was established Being on the mountain is anchoring something."
This was the first time Shen Li heard this said, and he asked out of curiosity: "What are you talking about?"
Professor Xu shook his head, "It's hard to say, but I think the eight counties in Jingzhou have good Feng Shui. It's a bit exaggerated to suppress evil spirits. For example, the Tianshi Master will not stand here out of thin air. I guess another point."
Professor Xu stopped when he finished speaking. He looked around the lower hall and saw a wooden ladder leading to the top. He said he would go up there and read it before talking.
The wooden ladder reaches the top of the pavilion. This is the highest place of Qingshou Temple. The top of the pavilion is pointed, but there is a window on one side. Through the window, you can see the scenery of Shouqu and the river. Most of Jingzhou's eight The county has a panoramic view, which is exactly what Professor Xu wants.
Shen Li may have never been up here before, but he couldn't take his eyes off it when he looked outside. This place was indeed so beautiful. The main line of the county town extended to the river. There was mist stretching on the distant mountains. The horizon and the river were one, and suddenly it felt like the sky and the water were one color.
Professor Xu stared at the mountains in the distance and made gestures with his hands, referring to the Five Elements and Bagua.
Feng Yu saw that there was nothing on the top of the pavilion. He would not do anything else except look at the scenery outside the window.
"I rely on his grandma. This place is so small and beautiful. If they don't come, it will definitely be their loss."
Professor Xu said: "The other thing I guessed is correct, for example, Tianshi is holding water."
"Are you saying that the rivers were diverted and Tianshi was used to control the water?" Feng Yu thought it was unlikely, but the facts were in front of him.
"As mentioned before, the people of Coffin Mountain changed the flow of water to change the Feng Shui, and also hid Coffin Mountain. You see, the river flow in the east is wide, but the mountains over there are in the middle of the river. According to common sense, obstacles will Let the water flow slow down, but there is no water on the river surface, which means that there is a large area of space under the river, as well as the meandering area over there. According to the arrangement of the Five Elements and Bagua, if this side is the Gan position, then there must be a mouth in the Kun position. ."
Professor Xu pointed to the area behind the mountain to the east, "Shen Li, where is that end?"
Shen Li reacted for a long time and said: "That's the place we just visited. After passing the cliff mountain, not far away is Wu Gorge."
"That's right, it's right here. They can't completely change the mountain topography. They can change the feng shui, but they can't change the pulse."
Shen Li was an outsider, so he couldn't understand, and he was weighing Feng Yu's actions in his heart.
"Boss, Coffin Mountain is behind that cliff mountain? It's not that I, Shen Li, don't agree, that place may not be safe. If you can really find a place, I can't guarantee your safety."
Zhang Xiuxian comforted and said: "Don't worry, Ya'er, we are responsible for our safety. Just go and find a place when the time comes and I will give you more money."
Shen Li was a little embarrassed, but after Zhang Xiuxian's repeated words, he agreed.
After coming out of Qingshou Temple, they went straight to the boat. There was nothing in Shouqu County that attracted them, so they quickly found Coffin Mountain to calm down.
The ship sailed again. Feng Yu and Professor Xu stood on the bow. They searched the mountains to find the dragon and divided the gold into the cave. Finding Coffin Mountain was not easy or difficult. Although Feng Yu was a descendant of Coffin Mountain, Coffin Mountain was It is so mysterious that this is probably the closest he has ever been to it. No one in the history of mountain viewing Taibao would go looking for Coffin Mountain. This is the ancestral rule. After many years, naturally no one would think about Coffin Mountain.
Shen Li drove the boat to the location they were looking at. It seemed not far away, but it was actually quite a distance away. The location of the cliff was quite special, and that was where Professor Xu was pointing.
The journey was smooth. They arrived at an almost vertical cliff close to the bottom of the canyon. Professor Xu asked Shen Li to circle around this place. To put it bluntly, he was also observing where Coffin Mountain was and where it had to be. Do more research.
After a while, Zhang Xiuxian's sharp eyes saw rock paintings on the cliffs. The rock paintings carved on the rock walls had been eroded by wind and rain. It would be difficult to find them unless they looked closely.
The content on the painting was severely eroded by water, and coupled with the wind and rain outside, it looked in a mess.
Shen Li said that these are not surprising. The eight counties in Jingzhou have a long history and culture. Just like the hanging coffins on the cliff, they are a kind of precipitation of local culture, proving that there were traces of their existence in those years.
The age of the cliff seems to be thousands of years old. Shen Li, who usually spends time on the lake, seldom looks at the things on the cliff up close. Now that he looks at it, almost all the paintings on it are disasters, as if they are foreshadowing. What.
Professor Xu said: "The earliest record is that after King You's heavenly book was stolen, he was chased here. He sent a large number of soldiers to see people alive and dead. They searched the coffin mountain but couldn't find anyone. Finally, King You ordered that in order to
In order to prevent others from getting the Book of Heaven, he sealed Wu Gorge and created many fabricated things to intimidate outsiders. After hundreds of years passed, the Zhou Dynasty was destroyed and no one was left to guard that place."
"I say, this King You is really in high spirits. He played with the princes in beacon fire to get a smile of praise, and the heavenly book of the gods was stolen by others. In the end, it was all empty. It's quite sad."
"Professor Xu, it seems that this place is really different." Feng Yu saw some problems.
The fog above his head seemed to suddenly float over, and a few pieces of gravel fell. Feng Yu looked up and saw that the cliff was so high that he couldn't see his head. The boat was leaning on the water's edge. He noticed that the stone would make a splashing sound when it fell into the river.
, recalling the hemerin that the Feng family would use when entering Coffin Mountain, Feng Yu immediately figured it out.
"Is there any dye on the ship? Or anything else with color."
Feng Yu suddenly asked, but no one understood, "What's the colored thing? What are you going to do?" Zhang Xiuxian asked.
Feng Yu didn't say anything and walked around the boat. He saw a pot of black fuel, which Shen Li bought as a spare.
"You can calculate the money for me later. I'll use this pot of oil first." Feng Yu said to Zhang Xiuxian, then picked up the fuel and poured it directly into the river.
