Relative to the current time, midnight is approximately one to three o'clock in the morning.
At one o'clock in the morning, I got up and looked at the crescent moon hanging around my neck under the light for a while, but the wooden pendant had just been put on me, and there was still no movement in the runes on it. Liu Qizhen said that this thing should be worn with at least 774
It will take nineteen days for the 'joined formation' to be truly formed.
I picked up the Shura Sword and walked outside the house. Li Menglan and Wang Bao were both standing outside waiting for me. Li Menglan wore a tight suit and held a small scimitar in his hand. Wang Bao still carried his master's relic, the Seven-Star Sword.
.I was still a little worried about Master Pu Zhen, so I greeted them during the day and asked them to meet me outside the woods.
I looked at Li Menglan and asked, "What's going on with those people?"
Li Menglan said: "It's still the same as usual. They pretend to fall asleep, and when it's late at night, the short man will come out to patrol around and then go back. But..."
"But what?"
"But I suspect that they seem to have discovered me." Li Menglan frowned slightly.
I believe in Li Menglan's skills. If they can really discover Li Menglan, then perhaps his true strength will be something we can't resist.
Wang Bao frowned and asked, "Could it be someone sent by the scheming sect to kill you?"
"No." I said: "Based on what Li Menglan has been following these past few days, these people may be tricksters. But their real targets are probably the things in the woods across the river, not me. Touch
Seeing us is probably something they didn't expect, and I guess they may be as afraid of the woods across the river as we are, so they haven't taken action yet."
Wang Bao advised me not to go to the appointment. But in fact, from the bottom of my heart, I did not feel the strong and fatal hostility like they did when we were in the woods. And in the dreams I often have, Bai Luo
I often look at the view across the river, as if it reminds me that I must go there.
I quickly walked to the river, with Wang Bao and Li Menglan following me far behind.
I stood at the bridge by the river for a while, tightened the Shura Sword in my hand, and crossed the stone bridge alone.
This forest has hardly changed from before. There is a very strange magnetic field here. It is obviously the midsummer season, but the wind in the forest always has a biting coolness. This feeling seems familiar. I thought about it for a long time and suddenly realized that this
Isn't it the same feeling as when we walked on Wuling Mountain? Could it be that this forest is also covered with Tiangang Bagua array? I quickly denied this view. If this was true, then the current Hongguang Village would have disappeared long ago.
If what Pingwazi told me is true, there is a small Taoist temple in the woods, and there is only one old Taoist priest living in it. I think of the old Taoist in yellow robe that I saw all the way before, then he is the 'Master Pu Zhen'.
I walked deeper into the woods. The cold wind was still there and the leaves were rustling. I began to feel that someone was watching me. When I walked to the place where Pingwazi's soul was taken away yesterday, the old man in yellow robe suddenly stood there again, like
Like a gust of wind, I couldn't see where he came from. At night, his appearance was a little blurry, and I only saw a long beard on his chin.
The old Taoist said to me from a distance: "Aren't you here alone?" His voice was not loud, but very clear, as if he was standing in front of me.
I was secretly surprised. When I went out, I was afraid that the old Taoist would find Wang Bao and Li Menglan, so I asked them to follow me three hundred meters away to hide their whereabouts. Unexpectedly, the old Taoist discovered them anyway.
"My friends are all very worried about this forest...or maybe you." I said, keeping my eyes locked on the old man in yellow robe.
This old Taoist in yellow robe is extremely skilled. I guessed that when Li Menglan entered the woods for the first time, the red light was emitted by this Taoist. Li Menglan didn't even notice his whereabouts, so he was "persuaded" to leave. Later, I and I
Wang Bao was forced to enter, and the situation was the same. Two things can be seen. First, the strength of this veteran is definitely better than any of us. It should not be difficult for him to kill any of us in this forest. The other
Second, the old Taoist actually has no real intention to kill us. His intention is more that he doesn’t want us to get close to the woods. Thinking about it this way, this old Taoist doesn’t look like an isolated temple.
A Taoist monk is more like a tombkeeper.
But I am an exception. This is probably why he deliberately let me see him before.
"Forget it, fortunately those two people learned from the past and did not step into this field." The old Taoist said to me: "Come with me, time is running out."
After saying that, the old Taoist turned around and walked deeper into the woods. I followed him with doubts. This time he walked very slowly, as if he was waiting for me on purpose. The distance between the two of us gradually shortened, and I
Walking up to him, I slowly saw his face clearly. This old man seemed to be very old, with wrinkles all over his face, but his eyes were particularly bright. His solemn expression did not look like a mortal at night.
When he saw me following him, he quickened his pace and asked me: "When you broke the formation in Wuling Mountain, did you see his last soul left in this world?"
"Him?" I was surprised that this old Taoist didn't ask me who broke the formation in Wuling Mountain, or even who I was.
"Bai Luo." The old Taoist looked ahead and said calmly.
I glanced at him, and the solemn expression on his face never changed. I thought of the white scenes in Wuling Mountain that day, and the last trace of Bai Luo also disappeared with the dissipation of the white air. I clicked
Nodding, the old Taoist looked straight ahead, but as if responding to me, he also nodded.
Soon, we walked deep into the woods and stopped in front of the gate of a lonely Taoist temple. There was a blank space above and on both sides of the Taoist gate, which looked like traces of couplets that had been pasted and then torn off.
The painted red Taoist door was old and stained, and the old Taoist door made a creaking sound when it was pushed open, which was particularly abrupt in this quiet forest. I followed the old Taoist door into the Taoist temple, and at the same time I found that although the wooden door was old and stained, the material of the wooden door was different.
It is the extremely precious "Groupe Wood". This wood is as heavy as a rock, and its material is guaranteed to last for hundreds of years. In ancient times, only the extremely wealthy could afford to use this wood for their facades.
And I vaguely discovered that there was even a formation on this grouper wooden door. If I didn't open it myself, I think I might not be able to open this door at all.
The deconstruction of the Taoist temple is very simple. After pushing the door, there is a small courtyard. Many unknown grass flowers are planted in the courtyard. These grass flowers can emit a little starlight at night. At first glance, they are not ordinary things. Especially in the courtyard.
The land is also filled with light spots. When I walk on it, it feels like walking on a land with countless small pearls. The old Taoist told me that the land under my feet contains nearly half of the 'spiritual soil'
.This Taoist temple is also the most spiritual Taoist temple within a hundred miles.
In the center of the courtyard, there is a white jade board road for people to walk on. The white jade has some traces of time, but it still shines brightly. Presumably, at the beginning, the material of these white jade should also be the upper layer. This is more than ten meters long.
At the end of Baiyu Road is the main ancestral hall of the Taoist temple.
The Taoist temple, which did not have any lights, was illuminated extremely brightly by these extraordinary things. I suddenly thought of the "Fairy Island" that the legendary fishermen had seen on the sea. Maybe it was like this.
The old Taoist walked in front of me. After he entered the Taoist temple, he kept his hands neatly placed in front of him, looking more and more like an old servant. He lowered his body and walked in front of me and said: "This Taoist temple has been around for a thousand years. You
Everything you see before you was cast thousands of years ago."
I couldn't help but be even more amazed. It's no wonder that the materials of these buildings seemed to be extremely rare and high-quality, but they always looked a bit stained. I suddenly thought that a thousand years ago, wasn't it just the same time that Bai Luo used the Tiangang Bagua Formation to seal Wuling?
The time of the mountain coincides exactly? I vaguely had some conjecture.
We walked into the dark ancestral hall. The old Taoist respectfully went to the four corners of the ancestral hall to light the oil lamps. The surroundings began to light up. The statue enshrined in the center of the ancestral hall was covered by a piece of red cloth.
After the old Taoist lit up the ancestral hall, he silently lit three sticks of incense in front of the red cloth. I saw some tears in the old Taoist's particularly bright eyes.
The old Taoist then said: "My people with the surname Pu have been guarding this place for nearly a thousand years, and they are the last of them to come to me. I have been guarding this place for 147 years, and I was originally disheartened. But the Taoist Master secretly
I have my own arrangements, and I finally waited for you before my death."
"Under this red cloth, is the statue of Bai Luo?"
"Exactly." The old Taoist looked at me and smiled and said, "I shouldn't have let you come without permission. Everything should abide by the ancestral precepts from thousands of years ago. But there has been extraordinary turmoil recently, and it is the end of my life recently.
I am afraid that the Taoist priest's expectations will be in vain, so I can only make my own decisions."
I looked at Lao Dao and was about to say something. Lao Dao signaled me not to speak with his eyes. He slowly pulled away the red cloth on the statue, and a statue that was as lifelike as the white drops in my dream was slowly uncovered.
I saw a face that looked exactly like mine, but I knew it wasn't me, it was Bai Luo.
In front of the statue, there is also a wooden box that looks like the one where the killing stone was originally placed.
I looked at the statue of Bai Luo, and suddenly I felt particularly calm. I knelt down on the futon in front of the statue of Bai Luo very naturally and bowed to the statue of Bai Luo. When I raised my head, the old Taoist had already brought the wooden box to me.
in front of.
He said to me: "This 'Yunji Seven Lots' was left to you by the Taoist Master."
I knelt on the ground, took the wooden box, and slowly opened it. There was a small linen bag in the wooden box. The small bag contained seven ordinary-looking silver needles about the length of an index finger, and a book inside.
I picked up the sack and the book and looked through it. This book was an introduction to the 'Yunji Seven Signs' and how to use it. I closed the book and planned to study it carefully when I went back.
At this time, the old Taoist suddenly touched my head. I looked up and saw his suddenly very friendly face, smiling, as if he regarded me as his long-lost grandson. He said to me in a gentle voice
: "It looks like, it really looks like, even the four people following you are very similar to the description from thousands of years ago."
I knelt on the ground, not knowing how to respond. The old Taoist gently took the Shura Sword from my hand and said: "This sword should be very powerful, but the seal in the sword actually covers up the power of the sword."
I saw the old Taoist's index finger and middle finger draw a spell that I didn't understand on the hilt of the sword. The Shura Sword immediately began to tremble violently, and then a line of white smoke emitted from the sword and suddenly disappeared. The Shura Sword also became calm.
Come down.
Suddenly, I heard a woman's voice in the air: "Thank you, Taoist Priest."
The old Taoist looked at the Shura Sword with satisfaction and nodded slowly. Then he handed the Shura Sword to my hand and said to me: "Let's go."
My body began to stand up uncontrollably, and I walked out of the ancestral hall until I walked out of the Taoist temple, and the Taoist voice sounded behind me.
"Follow your heart and never lose yourself. Even if fate blocks your path, it will only happen for you."
I walked out of the Taoist temple and finally regained control of my body. I turned around and saw the old Taoist sitting on the futon in front of the Bailuo statue with his eyes closed. The grouper door of the Taoist temple also slowly closed. I knew I should leave.
But there are many things in my heart that I haven't figured out yet. For example, why did Bai Luo use so many human lives to create the Tiangang Bagua that was like an endless hell thousands of years ago?
I knew that the old Taoist would not tell me the answer, and I should find a more precise reason. I suddenly remembered that I had not taken the wooden box of the locust tree containing the seven fortune sticks of Yunji, and the spiritual soil. I might be able to give it to Liu Qizhen.
Bring some back.
But when I really started to push the grouper wooden door, I really found that no matter what, I could no longer open the door.
