Such a built-in made him vaguely aware that something was wrong, and there was faint movement coming from inside the seated Guanyin statue under his feet.
He took off the bronze mirror from the strap, and before he could jump down from the shoulder of the statue, the sound of "crack, quack, quack" was heard from the ground of the underground palace. This sound was much stronger than the mechanism triggered earlier.
They were buzzing and trembling, and the entire underground palace shook violently.
Master Tao, who almost jumped down, hung the statue's head with one arm and quickly looked at the surrounding situation with his flashlight. In this case, an accidental collision is not a good thing.
There were rustling things falling from above. When I shined my flashlight upward, I found that the dome was cracking.
"Monkey, the dome is about to collapse, hurry up!" Dao Ye roared, and he jumped off the shoulders of the statue.
But as luck would have it, a huge falling rock knocked him down from the air.
When he was lying on the ground, choking on blood and raising his head, he could see a thin man dodging among the rumbling stones. He rolled and ran into the corridor. Then his vision went dark and he lost consciousness...
My mind was in turmoil, and after the splitting headache receded like a tide, I slowly opened my eyes, the light was dim, and the firelight flickered.
Looking around, he saw the source of the light, a torch stuck diagonally on a pillar. He seemed to be in an old ruined temple with an ancient style. He didn't know where it was, but he was probably saved by the monkey who escaped.
The feeling of being knocked down before was still there. Based on the weight of the stone, it would probably be no better than death. I was lucky to survive.
Based on his experience, if a person is seriously injured, it is better not to make strenuous movements. Although the body does not feel any pain, it may be due to nerve numbness.
Move your fingers first to make sure they can move freely and everything is fine!
I moved from my palms to my arms, and they moved freely, and it was okay!
I lifted my feet again, bent my knees and stretched my thighs, but it was still fine!
Surprised, he put his hands on the ground and was about to test his physical condition when he suddenly saw an old smiling face blocking the view above, with hairpins, buns and the style of clothes, an old man dressed in ancient costumes
.
"Little brother, are you awake? It seems that I am really lucky." The old man smiled, put a hand on his shoulder, and helped him up.
Dao Ye remained vigilant for a while, trying to use his energy to be on guard, but found that he could not regulate his internal energy, which was probably due to a serious injury. However, he sat up and twisted his body, but found nothing serious about his body, only a dull pain in the back of his head.
It seemed that he had suffered a heavy blow.
He looked around at the environment in the ruined temple, then his eyes fell on the old man's face and asked: "Brother, this is..." As soon as he said the words, he found that his voice was wrong and seemed a little immature. It was probably because of the injury. He coughed dryly.
After a while, he continued to ask: "Where is this?"
"Brother?" The old man was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed and said: "Young people are very popular. Well, I am just a brother. I like his personality. I don't know what the name of this place is, and I don't have the energy.
Go check it out, it’s in a mountain nest in Ziyun County of Yan State."
Ziyun County of Yan State? The Taoist Master was at a loss, where is this?
I couldn't help but look the other person up and down, and found that there were large blood stains on the other person's chest and abdomen clothes, and I could faintly smell the smell of blood. His face was a little pale, as if he had been injured, but his eyes were still clear, and he asked: "I don't know, brother
What’s your surname?”
The old man smiled and said: "I am a disciple of the Shangqing Sect, Dongguo Haoran."
Master Dao was stunned again. He heard the words clearly, but didn't understand what they meant. He looked at the other person up and down again. He was wearing ancient clothes and his words had ancient meanings. Isn't this person too into the drama? You want to pretend to be an ancient person.
Why don't you pretend to be a little like the ancients who spoke Mandarin with a smooth accent? He suspected that someone was playing a trick on him, so he turned around and shouted: "Monkey! Monkey..."
The old man was also stunned for a moment and said: "I just arrived and I didn't see any monkeys. Are there any monkeys in the mountains and forests nearby?"
Without the monkey's response, it is doubtful how he would have appeared here, but the person who could get him out of that ancient tomb must not be an easy person. Master Tao said in a deep voice: "Brother, I wonder which road he got into?"
The old man smiled and said: "The Shangqing Sect is naturally the right way."
Master Dao sneered, "Brother, it won't be fun if we keep making trouble like this. Let's open the skylight and speak frankly."
"Okay!" The old man nodded and said, "I am seriously injured and I don't have much time. You may not understand what it means, but you just need to remember one thing. The Shangqing Sect is also in Ziyun County, about three hundred miles away.
, there is a river not far from the foot of the mountain, it flows straight down, and you can stop when you reach a cliff waterfall. That beautiful place is where the Shangqing Sect is located, do you remember it clearly?"
After finishing speaking, the old man sat upright cross-legged and gently pushed with one palm in front of his chest.
Master Dao was shocked instantly. He found that he was held hostage by an invisible force, and he was unable to move. He floated gently off the ground. He was shocked. He didn't expect that there could be someone with such profound inner strength in this world. It was so profound that he couldn't help it.
To the extent of imagination, I thought that my cultivation was considered to be a top master in the world, but now it seems that it is just a grain of rice competing with the bright moon. As the old saying goes, there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world. The ancients do not deceive me!
The old man suddenly slapped his chest with a palm, and a mouthful of blood came out.
The blood came out into a ball and floated in a ball. The old man inserted his finger into the blood ball floating in front of him and stirred it quickly. Bloody runes popped out of the blood ball. The runes floated out and circled around Dao Master's body.
Seeing such a weird and magical scene, Master Tao was extremely frightened. He could not even dream of the depth of control of this internal force.
As more and more runes popped up, the blood ball became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared, turning into thirty-six bloody runes spinning around Dao Ye.
The old man suddenly stirred with both hands, and the floating Taoist body also started to rotate up and down, left and right.
The old man struck out with one palm, and each palm struck the rotating blood-colored runes. The blood-colored runes quickly condensed and turned into a line of red light, accurately hitting the Taoist's acupuncture points and meridians.
The feeling of something being penetrated into the body was so painful that the Taoist broke out in a cold sweat.
When all thirty-six bloody runes were slapped and injected into Dao Ye's body, the old man's flying palms stood up, and Dao Ye slowly fell down and sat cross-legged opposite him, looking at him blankly.
The old man looked solemn and smiled again, but the look in his bright eyes became dim, and he said in a weak tone: "I will use the Qing Sect's secret method to transform the rest of my life into thirty-six amulets to protect you and ward off evil spirits.
, follow the path I told you, it should be enough to escort you to Shangqing Sect. I am too seriously injured and my life is on the line, so I can't go back to Shangqing Sect. It is my luck and Shangqing's luck to meet my little brother on my deathbed.
It is the luck of the sect. It is also the luck of the little brother that he met me. Even if we are destined to be masters and disciples, it is better to be my disciple than to stay in this mountain den and be a villager in troubled times. I guess you have no reason to refuse.
When you go to the Shangqing Sect, say you are my disciple, and the amulet I put into your body is proof, and they will believe it."
Master Dao looked at him with blinking eyes, digesting his words.
The old man took out a bronze mirror from his arms, handed it to him and said: "To get this thing, my life is ruined on it. Tang Mu, the head of Shangqing Sect, is my senior brother, you can take this thing with you."
The Shangqing Sect handed it to my senior brother. You must remember that this thing cannot be revealed to other people. It can only be given to my senior brother himself. It must not fall into the hands of others. Do you remember?"
Master Tao nodded subconsciously, reached out to take the bronze mirror and looked through it. His heart was pounding, full of surprise and uncertainty. This... this should be the bronze mirror he took off from the Guanyin statue. He couldn't confirm it.
Because I didn’t look closely at the time, but the bronze mirror in my hand looked very similar.
He looked up at the old man. The other man's magical power just now made him believe something, but the bronze mirror brought him back to reality.
He wanted to ask something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the old man closed his eyes and fell neatly on top of him with a smile.
"Brother! Brother..." Dao Ye called out twice. Seeing no response, he stretched out his hand to test the breath, and then felt the pulse on the other person's neck. He was dead!
After repeatedly confirming that the other party was really dead, Mr. Dao was stunned for a long time. There was no need to be so realistic when playing tricks on him or joking. This was really death!
Slowly he laid the old man's body flat and looked at the bronze mirror in his hand. Only then did he notice that he was also wearing ancient clothes. His palms were not shaped like his own. He felt a little uncomfortable on the top of his head. He raised his hand and touched it.
I pulled again and it hurt! It was a real bun!
I couldn't help but get up and look around. Suddenly there was a "mute" scream outside, like the sound of a crow.
Master Dao quickly walked towards the door, wanting to see what was going on outside to confirm something. He pulled the door bolt open, and when the door opened, he walked out onto the steps outside.
The mountains undulated under the bright moon, and the night sky was filled with cold stars. Another "mute" scream from the big tree outside the house attracted his attention. It seemed that it was really a crow, but the crow's eyes were clearly visible, and there was a faint red light.
He seemed to be staring at the bronze mirror in his hand.
The crow's eyes lit up with red light, and it flapped its wings, exploding into a ball of black mist and rushing toward it. The front end turned into a humanoid shape, and with a wave of its hand, a bright broadsword slashed at it.
Such a strange situation was something that Master Dao had never heard of or seen before. He was shocked and subconsciously dodged. However, his body functions seemed unable to keep up with the reaction speed he was used to. Seeing that he was about to be killed by a knife, he panicked and reflexively waved his arms to block it.
, a stream of heat rushed out of the palm of the arm, and the palm of the hand was extremely hot. A red light spurted out, turning into a giant blood-colored rune, and slammed into the rushing crow monster.
Boom! A thunderous sound echoed, and the strange crow that hit the bloody rune was instantly shaken into flying smoke, and the bloody rune also disappeared.
Waving one arm, bending to the side, and remaining stiff for a while, Taoist Master seemed to be in disbelief that this was his own masterpiece? He couldn't help but think of what the old man said after passing on the Dharma.
Heck, it looks a little dangerous out there!
Master Dao dodged, jumped back, and jumped back into the house. He quickly closed the door and extinguished the torch inside...
