Seeing that Li Mu and Gu Qingcheng were safe and sound, Hu Yunniang was overjoyed: "Master, Miss Qingcheng, shall we continue on our way now?"
Li Mu smiled and said: "That's natural."
Now he and Gu Qingcheng entered the carriage together, and Hu Yunniang also entered, serving Li Mu.
Tong Lie continued to drive towards Yunzhou Prefecture.
Not long after they left, the stone turtle refined by Li Mu in the Iron Buddha Temple slowly climbed toward the direction of Xiejiaji carrying the stone tablet.
This stone turtle is seven feet high, three feet long, and one foot wide. It has a dragon head and a turtle body, and a huge mouth and fangs. The stone tablet carried on the turtle's back is as high as five feet, and there are runes on it that are faintly flashing and shimmering.<
/p>
Such a stone turtle, placed in the mortal world, is already considered a giant. Now when it climbed down the hill and arrived at Xiejiajie in the west, it had already alarmed many residents.
As early as the battle between Li Mu and the Venerable Buddha, the people in the nearby Xiejiaji had been alarmed. Some bold and meddlesome people also ran over to see what was going on, but were blocked by an invisible force.
It is difficult to get close to the hill.
These people were so frightened that they did not dare to go forward anymore. Instead, they returned home in a hurry and publicized the matter: "The Tiefo Temple is haunted. Ghosts appeared and hit the wall in broad daylight!"
It was not until Li Mu and Gu Qingcheng left and removed the invisible restrictions surrounding the hill that these evildoers were able to go up the mountain.
However, when these people went up the mountain, the stone turtle refined by Li Mu had already gone down the mountain and arrived at Xiejiaji.
You can imagine the sensation caused by such a stone turtle walking along the street with a stone tablet on its back.
"Oh my god, where did this stone turtle come from?"
"Did he run away from the Iron Buddha Temple?"
"The iron Buddhas in the Iron Buddha Temple can even walk out. A stone turtle carrying a stone tablet walking along the street seems to be nothing!"
"This is the truth, but I still think this matter is too strange!"
The stone turtle walked along the street, swaying its head and tail from the direction of Xiejiaji, and ran towards the west.
It attracted countless people to watch along the way, and many wealthy people in the world looked strange. They tried to intercept the stone turtle, but were seriously injured by the restriction on the stone turtle.
From then on, ordinary wealthy people in the world no longer dared to attack Shigui easily.
The stone turtle headed eastward, covering eight hundred miles in less than a day, and stopped at the foot of a high mountain.
This mountain is called Xiaoyang Mountain. It is said that in ancient times, there was an ancient sect called Qingyang Sect. During the battle between Emperor Hengtian and Chuangshi Yuangui, the monks of Qingyang Sect contributed a lot and suffered many casualties.
With so few people, even Qingyang Mountain was destroyed.
Half of the peaks fell from the sky and landed here, turning into a high mountain, which was called Xiaoyang Mountain.
Later, some monks acquired the Qingyang Mountain lineage skills on Xiaoyang Mountain, so they opened a dojo here and established a sect, which was called Zhiyang Sect.
This Zhiyang Sect is a branch of the Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, and Demon Sect. There have been many great masters in the sect, and they are especially proficient in the art of divination, which is somewhat similar to the techniques of the Yin Yang Sect.
The stone turtle refined by Li Mu had just stopped at the foot of Xiaoyang Mountain, and had already alerted the monks on the mountain.
This Xiaoyang Mountain is thousands of feet high, with many mountains and mountains. There are many strange pines and rocks, fairy grass hidden in the forest, mythical beasts lying in ancient caves, fairy birds carrying auspicious grass in their mouths, and many white deer plowing Huangjing.
This mountain has two particularly large hills, one in the east and one in the west, surrounded by peaks.
The two peaks in the middle are connected by a rainbow bridge. From time to time, monks walk on the rainbow bridge and go between the two peaks.
There is a large hall on the mountain peak to the east. Several white-haired Taoists in the hall are meditating and concentrating. A white-haired Taoist in the middle suddenly opens his eyes: "Here comes someone!"
Several Taoists outside the main hall pushed open the door and entered, bowing and saluting: "Headmaster!"
The old Taoist said: "A disaster has happened down the mountain. You go to Huayang Peak and tell Junior Brother Hongqing to go down the mountain to investigate for yourself."
At that moment, a Taoist took the master's dharma seal, crossed the Colorful Rainbow Bridge, and came to Huayang Peak: "Uncle Hongqing, the master has an order, ordering you to go to the bottom of the mountain to investigate, saying that a disaster has occurred.
."
Master Huayang Peak hurriedly left the palace and said: "Disaster? What disaster? Our Xiaoyang Mountain is closed to visitors and refuses all contact. How can something happen?"
The Master of Huayang Peak has a muscular build, carries a broad sword on his back, has a beard, a turtle-backed crane shape, and an ancient face.
He took the instruction from the master, scratched his head and said: "When the fifteen hundred years of massacre are approaching, didn't the master say that the mountain was closed, why did he let me go down the mountain again?"
The young Taoist opposite didn't know how to answer, so he just said: "That's what the master said. I don't know the specific situation."
Peak Master Huayang pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "That's it!"
He laughed heartily: "So I am the one who should be robbed by our sect!"
The peak master smiled and said: "I thought I would miss this big event, but it turned out that I was already deeply involved in it."
Immediately he returned to Huayang Palace with great interest, pocketed a bunch of magic treasures and belongings, and then called to the disciples on the mountain: "My master is going down the mountain today to attend to the calamity. You can practice in peace while you wait. Be sure to close the mountain gate tightly and never go down the mountain to walk around."
."
He took out an oil lamp and threw it on the lampstand in the palace: "This is my master's destiny lamp. As long as this lamp is on, I will not die. If the lamp goes out, it will be the end of my life."
When the lamp went out, the people took off the lamp and gave it to the leader."
A dozen disciples on the mountain were shocked when they heard this and didn't know what to do.
The master of Huayang Peak took out another ruler and handed it to the eldest disciple beside him: "Xu Qing, this is the treasure of our Huayang Peak, the Yuanyang Ruler. I will not take this magic weapon out with me when I go down the mountain this time.
”
After he gave the Yuanyang Ruler to Xu Qing, he laughed and suddenly lifted into the air, turning into a golden light and heading straight down the mountain.
In just an instant, he arrived at the foot of the mountain, and then saw the stone turtle carrying the stone tablet at the foot of the mountain.
"Huh?"
Peak Master Huayang came to the stone turtle, stretched out his hand to stop the stone turtle, and looked carefully at the writing on the stone tablet. After reading it, he was shocked: "The lineage of the evil Buddha of the Southern Wilderness actually came to the Central Plains.
What happened? This matter is not trivial. Fortunately, my colleagues from the Central Plains discovered it and killed the clone of Venerable Buddha."
After reading the inscriptions on the stone tablet, he turned his attention to the signature at the end: "Taiyi? Which sect is this fellow Taoist? This title is a bit overbearing!"
Tai, the extreme, is the beginning of heaven and earth, the unopened phase of chaos.
One, no two, only the essence and one, eternal and unchanged.
These two words formed a Taoist slogan, and the tone was really too loud. Even Peak Master Huayang himself was a lawless person, so he felt that this Taoist slogan was a bit too much.
"I'm afraid no one can afford such a Taoist title. Even the emperor today probably wouldn't dare to use such a name."
Peak Master Huayang looked at the stone turtle in front of him and frowned slightly: "This stone tablet and stone turtle is the refining technique of the Puppet Sect. Could it be that the incarnation of Venerable Buddha died at the hands of a disciple of the Puppet Sect? A mere disciple of the Puppet Sect,
How can you dare to take such a big name when you don’t even have a few books on practicing the true Dharma?”
He casually pulled up the stone tablet on the stone turtle, threw it lightly, and threw it to Xiaoyang Mountain.
With this stone tablet as evidence, the headmaster brother will naturally know what is going on.
As for the Huayang Peak Master, he jumped into the sky and headed straight to the west. During tea time, he arrived near Xiejiaji and saw the Iron Buddha Temple that had been reduced to ruins.
He lowered his cloud head and was about to explore the top of the mountain when he felt the turmoil in the void. Then a big furry hand stretched out from the air and grabbed him hard. A roar sounded at the same time: "Little Taoist priest, you are the one who destroyed me."
