"The heaven and earth are mysterious, the underworld is pardoned, the officials of the earth are on patrol, and the underworld moves the sky! Move!"
Kong Sang communicated with the incomplete soul of Baiyun Temple Master by inviting ghosts to take over his body.
As the world spins, what comes into view is the world that Master Baiyun remembers.
At this time, Baiyun Temple was crowded with pilgrims.
Many young Taoist priests are working, sweeping, chanting sutras, and guiding pilgrims.
"It seems that the guess is correct."
"It was already a long time ago when the master of the temple died."
Kong Sang's face was gloomy.
At this time, the old temple master stood in front of him, respectfully offering incense to the Sanqing.
However, judging from the old viewer's demeanor, it doesn't seem to be very good.
After a while, the old Taoist priest who was in his fifties or sixties also came.
"Junior brother." Master Baiyun said hello with a smile.
The Taoist priest was slightly startled:
"Senior brother, your face..."
"What? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
The master of Baiyun Temple twisted his beard and remained silent for a moment, then said:
"You come with me."
Kong Sang noticed that the eyes of Master Baiyun looked full of worry.
For a Quanzhen senior who has been cultivating Taoism for decades, most of the things involving strange powers and chaos are not so serious to him.
Could it be...
The master of Baiyun Temple has already noticed that the dragon veins are contaminated with evil spirits, so he is so worried?
After all, Baiyun Temple is one of the three major ancestral houses of the Quanzhen sect of Taoism, and the karma and energy of the Nine States are not low!
With speculation in his mind, Kong Sang followed the two of them.
The leader of Baiyun Temple did not speak immediately, but led the old Taoist priest to the backyard.
As the Baiyun Temple of Quanzhen's ancestral home, this backyard is not just a garden.
Not only is this place itself known as "Little Penglai", it is also the altar where the Quanzhen lineage teaches the "Three Altars and Great Precepts".
Kong Sang also saw the problem with this platform at a glance.
There were spiderweb-like cracks on the ring platform, and traces of black energy were emanating from the cracks!
The old Taoist priest also changed his expression:
"Brother, this!"
Temple Master Baiyun nodded solemnly:
"As of this morning, everything was still normal."
"When I passed by the Sanqing and Siyu Palaces, I heard from pilgrims that the Sanqing statues were cracking."
"I felt something was wrong, so I checked it carefully!"
"I found a trace of evil in the cracks of the statue itself!"
"Then, I asked my disciples to invite the pilgrims out, and I would do fortune-telling alone in the hall."
"result……"
Baiyunguan took out a lottery ticket and... a broken tortoise shell copper coin.
The old Taoist priest's face looked extremely ugly.
"My Baiyun Temple can almost represent Quanzhen."
"It also carries a lot of luck for Kyushu."
"The Three Purities and Four Imperial Palaces were originally built here to guard the dragon veins in the upper capital!"
"Now even the statues and altars have evil spirits. This..."
"Doesn't this mean there's something wrong with the dragon's veins!"
The master of Baiyun Temple also looked solemn.
"Junior brother, please immediately call Xia Liang, the director of the Oddity Investigation Bureau."
"I will contact my Taoist colleagues in Beijing."
"No matter what, we must find out what is going on as soon as possible!"
The old Taoist priest nodded repeatedly and left immediately.
But this scene fell into Kong Sang's eyes, but it made him doubtful.
First of all, the Dragon Vein of Shangjing is formed with the Forbidden City as the core and extending outwards. At the same time, it is composed of many national buildings and religious temples and temples as auxiliary maintenance methods.
The longer the history, the more faith it carries, and the more luck and dragon veins it gathers.
Baiyun Temple is one of the three ancestral temples of Quanzhen and one of the oldest Taoist temples in Shangjing City.
Its status is comparable to that of Tianning Temple and Tantuo Temple in Shangjing.
Therefore, even the two important places of the Three Pure Ones and Four Imperial Guards, Jietai, which suppressed Baiyun Temple, have been infected by evil spirits. This is definitely a big event!
It's obvious that Temple Master Yun has discovered it a long time ago, but why hasn't he heard Xia Liang talk about it?
If he was busy with official duties, but today Jiang Xuechan was framed to kill the leader of Baiyun Temple, the Weird Investigation Bureau would have immediately thought of the issue of dragon veins and showed up.
But……
"Could it be that...it's Master Baiyun's junior brother who didn't inform Director Xia Liang of this news?"
"Or is it Director Xia Liang himself..."
Kong Sang immediately shook his head.
The second thought is a bit scary, it shouldn't be possible.
What's more, since the Bureau of Occult Investigations replaced the Department of Good and Evil, the security factor in the country has improved by leaps and bounds. This is impossible.
In front of him, the leader of Baiyun Temple looked at the altar worriedly. Then he seemed to have thought of something and hurried to the ancestral hall of Baiyun Temple.
I saw two stone carvings on the left and right sides of this ancestral hall!
They are "Tao Te Ching" and "Yin Fu Jing" respectively!
But after seeing the master of Baiyun Temple carefully inspecting the two stone carvings, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
"really!"
"really!"
“Even the stone carvings handed down from our ancestors are completely empty!”
"So...the erosion of dragon veins has already happened!"
"It's just that the symptoms were not obvious before, so you didn't notice it?"
"How could it be?"
"In Baiyun Temple, there are inspections every day. Why..."
At this time, Kong Sang happened to see the calendar hanging on the wall, and his eyebrows moved involuntarily.
"This is……"
"Half a month ago?"
Kong Sang's face was gloomy.
If it was half a month ago, the situation would have been so serious.
So it has been at least a month or more since the onset of this incident.
Counting the time, it seemed that at that time, I was still dealing with the Baxianxiang and Lanruo Hotel cases.
It was also from that time period that the Ghost Stories Association frequently surfaced.
Could it be...
The master of Baiyun Temple took out two talismans from his arms and pasted them on the stone carvings.
"Hiss!"
With a sound like teeth grinding, black air emitted from the interior of the two stone carvings!
Even after decades of cultivating qi, Master Baiyun Temple panicked.
"The place where the dragon veins were suppressed has been completely damaged!"
"We must first find a replaceable ancient artifact!"
Master Baiyun Temple murmured to himself, suddenly seemed to think of something, and hurriedly left the ancestral hall.
This time, Master Baiyun went straight to the Sutra Pavilion!
Kong Sang followed closely behind, and after entering the Sutra Pavilion, he found that there was no scent at all in the huge space.
So... at least there was no incense burning in the Sutra Pavilion half a month ago.
If Chen Tao burns sandalwood...
Kong Sang subconsciously clenched her fists and her breathing became rapid.
The master of the temple and his junior brother also hurried in at this time:
"Brother, I have already contacted Director Xia Liang."
"Huh? Senior brother, what are you looking for?"
At this time, Kong Sang looked at the look and aura of the disciple, the master, and it seemed that there was no change from before.
The master of Baiyun Temple said in a hurry:
"Before we rebuilt Baiyun Temple, we absorbed many antiquities from Tianchang Temple."
"Although most of them cannot be used as substitutes for suppressing dragon vein luck, I vaguely remember that there are still a few treasures that can do it."
"Come quickly and help me look for it!"
A glint flashed across the old Taoist priest's eyes.
This made Kong Sang's eyebrows jump as he observed the two of them.
"Senior brother, I wonder... what kind of treasure is it?"
The master of Baiyun Temple explained:
"It's the real Taiping Jing."
"Master once told me."
"At that time, the Taiping Jing was handed down in two versions."
"The first version is currently included in the three holes and four assistants."
"The second version is said to have been written by Nanhua Taoist, the master of the great sage Zhang Jiao during the Eastern Han Dynasty, and then passed on to Taiping Taoism."
"This version, for some unknown reason, was later stored in Tianchangguan during the Tang Dynasty."
"After Tianchang Temple was destroyed, it remained in my Baiyun Temple."
Suddenly, the master of Baiyun Temple found a scripture from an ancient box and couldn't help but said with joy:
"Yes, this is it!"
Kong Sang stepped forward quickly.
But he saw that the "Taiping Jing" in the box was different from ordinary scriptures. It was carved from bamboo slips, and there was something like a lock on the seal.
It’s the lock of the jasper leaf key!
Kong Sang understood immediately that this was his goal.
However:
"Brother, why does it look like this "Taiping Jing" cannot be opened?"
"Locked?"
Master Baiyun nodded:
"I heard that this scripture contains the true wisdom of Taiping Dao."
"If it is obtained by someone with evil intentions, the magic inside will cause unimaginable disasters."
"Therefore, this "Taiping Jing" has had a key since ancient times."
"But the key is not with me. As for where it is, no one knows."
The master of the temple nodded silently:
"I see."
"Senior brother, can you show me this "Taiping Jing"?"
The master of Baiyun Temple could not help but show a trace of doubt:
"sure."
"But...why do you look a little..."
Before the words left his mouth:
"Pfft!"
With blood splattering, Master Baiyun looked at the arm that penetrated his chest in disbelief.
"Junior brother, you!"
"wrong……"
The Master of Baiyun Temple coughed up a mouthful of blood and pointed at the person in front of him in horror:
"You...you are not a junior brother!"
"Who the hell are you!"
At this time, the apprentice brother Guanzhu grinned:
"As expected of Master Baiyun, your response is really quick."
"But... we won't let you have the chance to repair the dragon's veins."
"We're going to take this "Taiping Jing" away!"
As he said this, the other party wanted to take away the Taiping Jing.
But at this moment, a look of determination flashed in the eyes of the Master Baiyun. Regardless of his own fatal injury, he threw the "Taiping Sutra" aside and pinched the opponent's shoulders with both hands.
However, he saw that the golden light all over the body of Master Baiyun was flowing into the opponent's meridians along the wound he pinched.
"Damn old guy!"
The old Taoist priest was furious, and his disguise began to collapse at this moment!
Under that cracked face, some straw actually appeared!
Then, there was a strange European face!
Kong Sang had seen this face in the information provided by Su Kailun.
In the association, a Sequence Six farmer.
"Are you... are you... the Ghost Story Association..." Temple Master Baiyun roared angrily, and the golden light all over his body became even brighter.
The farmer's disguise was almost burned to death!
The exposed face also began to be burned!
"Damn it, I'm going to die, and you still have such a strong method!"
Suddenly, a ghostly scarecrow appeared behind the farmer!
The scarecrow was wearing Western cowboy clothes, but his whole face looked twisted and ferocious, like a beast.
"Hehehehehe!"
Amid bursts of weird laughter, the scarecrow’s hands turned into sickles!
"Old man, let me go!"
Saying that, the sickle slashed hard!
The master of Baiyun Temple smiled coldly:
"You...can't survive either!"
In an instant, the master of Baiyun Temple was covered in blood. He was hit in the vital part by the scarecrow and fell into a pool of blood.
The farmer took a few steps back in shock, but he never noticed that a ray of golden light condensed into a spell at his throat.
"Damn old guy!"
"Want to ask me to die together?"
"snort!"
"Don't even think about it!"
The farmer looked at Master Baiyun fiercely, then looked at the door and said coldly:
"Countess, come out to clean up the mess!"
[Author's digression]: Little popular science:
In reality, Baiyunguan is one of the three ancestral temples of Quanzhen Taoism, and has established Taoist associations, Taoist colleges and other institutions in Baiyunguan.
And in terms of the number of gods and temples enshrined, Baiyun Temple is also quite large.
Such as the Spiritual Official, the Three Officials, the Jade Emperor, the God of Wealth, the Medicine King, the Three Purities and the Four Imperials, the South Dipper Star Lord, the Big Dipper Star Lord, the Thirty-six Commanders, the Twenty-Eight Constellations, the Eight Immortals, Lu Zu, Wenchang, etc., are all enshrined.
The stone carvings of the "Tao Te Ching" and "Yin Fu Jing" written in the article are actually stored on the left and right sides of the ancestral hall. They were written by Zhao Mengfu himself, a calligrapher in the early Yuan Dynasty.
There is a garden in the backyard. In addition to the mountain houses gathered in the garden, there is also the Jietai.
As for the "Three Altars of Great Precepts", the Quanzhen lineage teaches its disciples the "First True Precepts", "Zhongji Precepts", and "The Great Immortal Precepts". It takes one hundred days.
Therefore, it is also known as the "Hundred Days of Perfection of the Three Altars".
