Seeing Kong Sang’s expression so determined, Zhao Yuecheng couldn’t help but say:
"Did you...see any part of the past again?"
Kong Sang nodded helplessly.
"There are just some very vague parts."
"Of course, I'm not sure whether it's this cave."
"I'm just sure that at that time, I should have entrusted Dong Ming to send something to Tianchangguan."
Hu Wenjun's eyebrows moved:
"You mean...the Ten Creators?"
Gong Xin said:
"However, this cave is the only remaining part of Tianchangguan."
"I have carefully inspected every stone. There is no sign of any mechanism."
Kong Sang looked around.
Finally, he set his sights on the stone wall at the end of the cave.
As if there was some guidance in the dark, Kong Sang suddenly felt that... there should be an answer on the stone wall.
He walked step by step to the stone wall.
The remaining four people looked at each other in confusion.
Because no matter whether it is from the immortal method or Feng Shui exploration, this stone wall is very ordinary and there is no immediate reason.
Kong Sang stretched out his hand and subconsciously placed it on the stone wall.
Suddenly, there were echoes in my ears.
…
"Master, now that the people are in dire straits and complaining, how can we practice Taoism successfully?"
"Idiot, this is the number of heaven, and it is also a fixed number. Throughout the dynasties, which one has not divided and combined, and fought endlessly. If you can't see through it, how can you cultivate it?"
"If you practice the Tao, you will just let me watch with cold eyes and protect yourself wisely. It doesn't matter if you don't practice the Tao!"
"you……"
"Please master, please give me a chance. I will definitely prove that man can conquer heaven!"
"well……"
…
That strange voice went away as quickly as it came.
It seemed to only last for a second or two.
Kong Sang suddenly said:
"Not here."
Everyone was stunned.
"This cave is very close, but... it shouldn't be the core."
Kong Sang turned around and ran out of the cave quickly.
Although everyone felt a little baffled, they still followed.
But he saw Kong Sang standing outside, looking around, not knowing what he was looking at.
Suddenly, the butterfly wings spread out.
Kong Sang flapped her wings and flew directly into the air.
"Kong-san!"
Without responding to everyone's calls, Kongsang just kept flying to a higher position.
Until he could see the entire mountain in full view, he stopped!
When Kong Sang bowed his head here, the entire top of Zushan Mountain looked like a Tai Chi in his eyes.
The Tianchangguan ruins and the Zuoyin Shibu Altar belong to two sides. If you distinguish them along the middle position of the top of the mountain, it looks like... a Tai Chi.
Even the arc in the middle is almost exactly the same!
The core positions of the altar and the cave are like the two ritual places in Tai Chi.
"really!"
Kong Sang glanced at the arc where the two met.
"There!"
Kong Sang swooped down and fell into the woods not far away under the stunned eyes of everyone.
Zhao Yuecheng and others quickly followed.
The scene in front of them made everyone stunned.
"This is……"
"bamboo?"
Everyone's expressions were a little strange.
There is only such a bamboo on this ancestral mountain, which is already very strange.
Moreover, this jasper-green bamboo is almost as thick as a human being in diameter, which is almost impossible to see.
"Strange thing." Gong Xin murmured: "When was this bamboo planted here? Why didn't I see it back then?"
Hu Wenjun squinted his eyes slightly and made calculations around him:
"This...should be the core of the Feng Shui of the entire ancestral mountain."
"And a lot of Qimen Dunjia techniques have been added."
"It may require certain circumstances to be exposed."
"Otherwise, we should have noticed it when we came from the Shibu Altar just now."
But Kong Sang seemed not to hear what everyone said, and stared at the jade and green bamboo in front of him as if he was distracted.
The echoing sound came to my ears again.
…
"That's all, now that you've decided, let's go back to the world of mortals again. Disciple, I'll give this to you."
"Master, what is this?"
"A nine-section staff can be regarded as... I will give it to you for protection..."
"Thank you, Master..."
…
"Do you really... want to put this object here?"
"Well. Now that the Anshi Rebellion has passed, everything will return to peace. But... there still needs to be a trace of chance left as a variable."
"You have obviously placed the "Taiping Jing" in Tianchangguan, so why bother to leave this jasper here?"
"Haha...it can't be said...it can't be said..."
…
In an instant, green light flashed in Kong Sang's eyes:
"The yellow sky is above, and the world is at peace!"
The horoscope is like a prophecy.
There was a "bang" in the sky, and a streak of thunder flashed across the sky.
In the midst of everyone's surprise, the unusual jade bamboo in front of them was actually split in two from the middle and split on both sides!
"Bang!"
The moment the green bamboo fell to the ground, it turned into countless green fluorescent lights and dissipated.
Everyone stepped forward quickly, only to see that Kong Sang already had a jade pendant in his hand, carved with the shape of a leaf, lifelike.
Even the meridians are very delicate.
Kong Sang came back to his senses, looked at the jasper in his hand, and murmured:
"Is this...the slightest change?"
Hu Wenjun said:
"This should be a key."
"Oh?" Kong Sang's eyebrows moved: "Sister, why do you see me?"
Hu Wenjun pointed at both sides of the jade pendant:
"This jasper is deliberately carved into the shape of a leaf, and there are some jagged shapes on both sides."
"Most of the leaves have rounded edges."
"If it were imitated from the real thing, such carving would be a bit astonishing in ancient times."
"Moreover, if you look carefully, there are two jagged parts, which are a little different."
Kong Sang narrowed his eyes and looked at it carefully.
Sure enough, as Hu Wenjun said, there is a very small groove on the left and right sides.
"Everyone, I have determined one thing."
"The real "Taiping Jing" is very likely to be in Baiyun Temple!"
"Let's go to Baiyun Temple immediately and join Pianpian and the others!"
…
Half an hour ago:
Qian Pianpian, Cai Yuzhe, Yu Cang, Jiang Xuechan, and Wang Lei took a car to Baiyun Temple.
Because I had said hello to the Oddity Investigation Bureau and opened an emergency route, the journey was smooth and we arrived at Baiyun Temple very quickly.
As soon as everyone got off the bus, they saw Taoist priests coming in and out of Baiyun Temple.
Some seem to be arranging magic weapons.
Some have charms attached to them.
Others are carrying luggage and seem to be going somewhere.
"Quick! Be careful of the dense forest in the southeast!"
"That's right, you have to be fast!"
"The evil spirit is getting stronger and stronger, and it must be suppressed as soon as possible!"
In front of Baiyun Temple, a Taoist priest in his sixties was holding Ruyi in his hands and was constantly directing the Taoist priests around him.
Seeing Qian Pianpian and others coming up, he immediately said:
"Dear donors."
"Baiyun Temple has temporarily stopped accepting pilgrims since yesterday."
"It's not peaceful outside now, you'd better go home quickly!"
Qian Pianpian took out the badge of the consultant of the Weird Investigation Bureau:
"This Taoist priest, we are members of the ten tribes of Zouyin. Now we urgently need to meet with the senior master of Baiyun Temple."
The Taoist showed a look of surprise:
"Okay, come with me!"
Immediately, the group of people hurriedly entered Baiyun Temple.
Looking around, almost all the Taoist priests were mobilized.
Everyone frowned.
As one of the most prestigious palaces in Beijing, Baiyun Temple is so tense. It seems that the situation is indeed not good.
"Brother!"
"Brother!"
The octogenarian Master of Baiyun Temple walked out of the Sanqing Hall.
"Senior brother, these guys are from the Tenth Department of the Underworld, and were commissioned by the Weird Investigation Bureau."
"Oh?" Master Baiyun Temple couldn't help but look at everyone in surprise: "In that case, please come with me."
With that said, he took everyone to the backyard.
"Sorry, Baiyun Temple will be very busy recently, so I won't be able to entertain you all."
"As far as the visitor is concerned, our sudden visit was too abrupt."
Quiet room:
"Master, due to time constraints, we will just tell you our purpose."
"We now need to know how many antiquities from Tianchangguan are still preserved in Baiyun Temple."
The leader of Baiyun Temple looked at everyone in surprise:
"Is it for this?"
"There are a lot of antiquities, but...most of them are just scriptures."
"It doesn't matter." Qian Pianpian said immediately: "Master, I wonder if I can borrow it?"
The old spectator smiled bitterly and said:
"this……"
"It's not that I don't want to borrow it."
"But these old objects are almost all rare treasures. We at Baiyun Temple also preserve them very carefully."
"If you want to check it one by one and find what you want, I need to arrange some children to clean it up first."
"Besides, there are too many things, and I definitely can't move them here. I can only bother a few friends to go to the library and search for them myself."
Qian Pianpian nodded:
"Excuse me...how long will it take?"
The master of Baiyun Temple twisted his beard and said:
"About...it takes one day."
Everyone looked at each other, nodded, and finally decided to stay at Baiyun Temple for the night.
Perhaps it was because the master of Baiyun Temple was really too busy, so he found a young Taoist priest to make arrangements and left in a hurry.
…
In his room, Cai Yuzhe looked solemn as he looked at the many Taoist priests busy outside.
"It seems that if there are such changes in Kyushu, the Weird Investigation Bureau will be unable to handle it."
"That's why many Taoist temples and Buddhist temples across the country have begun to take action."
"I'm afraid there are more." Wang Lei said solemnly: "When Xuechan and I left the ancient city of Dali, the local branch had already begun to mobilize many outsiders."
"This time, no matter whether it is official power, three religions, or heretics, I am afraid... no one can escape."
At this moment when everyone was frowning, a hurried sound suddenly came from outside the door.
"What?"
"Is there such a thing?"
"Okay, I understand. I'll just entertain my friends from the Yin Shi Department. You can go and do your work."
Everyone was confused.
Who will entertain them?
At this time, the door was pushed open violently.
The person who caught my eye was indeed a familiar face.
"Are you...Chen Tao?" Qian Pianpian said in surprise.
Chen Tao wiped the sweat from his face: "Everyone, long time no see."
Qian Pianpian couldn't help but ask: "Didn't you go back to Maoshan? Why are you here?"
Chen Tao said helplessly:
"I just happened to be in Beijing for a meeting on behalf of my master, and this happened."
"After talking to the master on the phone, I came to Baiyun Temple to explain some things to the old man who is the temple owner here."
"Where's Kong-san? And the big executioner?"
Qian Pianpian immediately informed Chen Tao of the cause and effect.
Just at this time, the chat software received Kongsang's message.
"Huh? Looking for the Taiping Jing?"
Everyone looked relieved. If there was something specific, it would save a lot of time.
Chen Tao couldn't help but said: "What a coincidence. Are you looking for the Taiping Jing?"
Qian Pianpian was stunned: "Why, do you know?"
Chen Tao nodded: "Yes."
"When I came here a few days ago to help sort out the classics, I happened to find an ancient copy of the Taiping Jing."
"I even specifically asked the old man, the visitor, about it."
"The master of the temple said that the Taiping Sutra was an unexpected gain. Let's clean it up and put it in his room for him."
On the side, Yu Xing suddenly said:
"etc."
"Chen Tao, you mean... that the Taiping Jing was swept out by you?"
"Or...you just cleaned the Sutra Pavilion."
Chen Tao smiled and said: "Then the entire Scripture Collection Pavilion must have been cleaned up, including many ancient books from the Tang and Song Dynasties, and they have also been reclassified."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone frowned.
If... what Chen Tao said is true.
So what happened when the old temple owner said just now that it still needs time to clean up?
Isn’t this...self-defeating?
