Guo Song did not expect that he would eventually see the destruction of Lingji Cave. Without the deep spiritual energy accumulated by many Taoists for hundreds of years, could Lingji Cave still be called a fairy cave? It was just an ordinary stone cave, and this stone
The hole will collapse soon.
Through a glimmer of light, Guo Song saw a scene that made his heart ache like a knife. The ground was full of fragments of incorruptible bodies. They were thrown down from a height of a hundred feet and hit hard on the sharp-edged rocks below.
Became fragments.
There were at least twenty bodies. How was the master? Guo Song did not find any fragments of the master, so he climbed up quickly.
Halfway up the climb, I suddenly heard Alchemist Chi Xuan saying in surprise: "Isn't this Zhenren Mu? He is actually not rotten."
Immediately afterwards came Master Baiyun's voice full of hatred, "Throw him down hard and break him into pieces!"
"Whoosh!" There was a sound, and something was thrown down from above. Guo Song grabbed the rock with one hand, pressed his feet against the rock nest, and moved his body as far as possible. He saw a black shadow falling from the sky. In a flash of light, he grabbed it
The black shadow is the master's arm. He hugged the master's body tightly in his arms and slowly retracted his body.
"Strange! Why is there no sound below? Could it be that Zhenren Mu has ascended now?" Several alchemists above asked strangely.
"Try throwing another one."
Another incorruptible body was thrown down, and there was a "bang" sound. Just like a stone slab falling on a big boulder, the last incorruptible body in Lingji Cave also fell into pieces.
"Forget it, don't worry about it, clean it up quickly, it's already dark."
Immediately afterwards, they didn't even bother to transport the bones out, and threw them all at the bottom of the cave. The Taoist priests quickly cleaned more than fifty grottoes.
The night was getting darker. Baiyun Zhenren left Chi Xuan and three other close Taoist priests to guard the Eagle Cave, and dozens of other Taoist priests guarded the top of Cuiping Peak. He himself returned to Zixiao Temple, and he was going to give a dojo to the three heavenly masters tonight.
, and then welcome them into the Lingji Cave.
Guo Song slowly stood up from the corner. He tore the Taoist robe into strips and tied the master's body tightly to his back. He whispered: "Master, the disciple heard the cracking sound on the stone wall. Lingji Cave
I'm afraid it's going to collapse. Disciple, please find another place for you."
His iron wood sword was stored in Jingle Palace, and he only had a dagger. Guo Song bit the dagger in his mouth and climbed up like an ape. His body would gradually melt when it encountered water. He could not walk through the waterway, so he could only climb up from the Eagle Cave from above.
go out.
Not long after, Guo Song climbed to the entrance of the cave. Inside, there was a Taoist priest sitting cross-legged in a stone niche. He was vaguely Zhang Qinghu's master, Chihong Alchemist. He was fat and blocked the road. He had to be killed if he wanted to get out.
Guo Song waved his hand, and a ray of cold light flew out, and the dagger shot into his throat with a "poof!" and went straight to the back of his head. Poor Chi Hong, who was dozing off, did not react and was killed instantly.
Guo Song grabbed his arm and pulled his body, then threw his body into the Lingji Cave. The body fell dullly at the bottom of the cave. Guo Song jumped lightly and jumped up to the stone niche. Unexpectedly, when he raised his head, he saw a black thorn all over his body.
The stick was pointing murderously at his chest.
Chixuan Alchemist said with a ferocious smile on his face: "I knew you were hiding inside and caught Mu Zhenren's body. Others are stupid, but I am not stupid. I am just waiting for you to come up!"
Guo Song snorted disdainfully, "Chixuan, do you think you can kill me?"
"If you insist on insisting even when you are about to die, then I will help you!"
Chi Xuan Alchemist was about to stab him with his stick when suddenly he was shocked and slowly lowered his head. He saw a sword tip appeared on his chest and blood gushed out. He looked back in disbelief and saw another stab from behind.
It pierced his heart, he screamed, his body fell to the ground, and he died immediately.
The person standing behind him was Lei Lingzi. Lei Lingzi said coldly to Guo Song: "I'm not saving you. I don't want to see Mu Zhenren's body fall into pieces. You go!"
Guo Song took a deep look at him, took two steps and jumped onto the trestle. He suddenly turned around and said to Lei Lingzi: "Lingji Cave will collapse soon, senior brother, please respect yourself!"
After saying that, he jumped down the cliff.
Lei Lingzi pondered for a moment, then he suddenly turned his sword and stabbed himself hard in the shoulder, shouting: "Someone is coming quickly!"
...........
At the third watch, Guo Song jumped from the back cliff into the inner room of Jingle Palace. Zhang Minggun was sitting cross-legged in the room. When he saw Guo Song coming in from the window, he quickly stepped forward and said, "I knew that junior brother would be here tonight. Please
Come with me!"
He took Guo Song to a secret room, lit the lamp, and Guo Song slowly lowered his master's incorruptible body.
Zhang Mingchun's eyes widened. He knelt down and kowtowed to Mu Zhenren repeatedly, "Zhang Mingchun pays homage to the Immortal!"
The incorruptible body is the remains of those who have attained the Tao. Taoist temples in the world only have legends and have never seen the real body. Guo Song saw dozens of them in Lingji Cave at once, but he could not feel how precious they were.
But it was completely different for Zhang Mingchun. The legendary Taoist suddenly appeared in front of him. How could he not be extremely excited?
"Senior brother, the incorruptible body is very precious?"
"Junior brother, in the entire Tang Dynasty, there is only one flesh statue enshrined in Taiyi Palace in Qingcheng Mountain. Do you think it is precious?"
Only then did Guo Song realize what crime Master Baiyun had committed. He punched the table hard and gritted his teeth and said: "There are twenty-two incorruptible bodies in total. I was late, so I only saved the master, and the other two
Eleven of them were destroyed by the Baiyun dog thieves."
"Oh my God! Isn't he afraid of being punished by God?"
Guo Song sneered and said: "God will not punish him, but I will!"
"Junior brother, what are you going to do next?"
Guo Song glanced at Master's body and hesitated, "I just don't know how to arrange Master, can Senior Brother teach me?"
Zhang Mingchun nodded, "There are two ways to place the incorruptible body. One is to place it in an inaccessible fairy place, such as Lingji Cave, and the other is to ask for a golden body like Taiyi Palace and accept enshrinement forever.
"
"What does it mean to be given a golden body?"
"That is to wrap the wooden statue with layers of cinnabar, and then paint the outside with gold powder to make a statue of the Immortal. It is placed in the Sanqing Hall and will be permanently enshrined. The same is true for the physical Buddha of Buddhism. This method is relatively common."
Guo Song actually preferred the former method, but thinking of the fate of those incorruptible bodies in Lingji Cave, he sighed and said: "The second method is more secure!"
Zhang Mingchun was silent for a moment and said, "You can send Master Mu to his senior brother in the capital. I believe his family will also be grateful to you."
Guo Song walked a few steps with his hands behind his back: "Can you please ask Brother Mingchun to take this trip for me again?"
Zhang Mingchun was surprised and happy, "It is a great honor for me to send Master Mu's physical body to Beijing, but why doesn't Junior Brother go in person?"
Guo Song gritted his teeth and said, "I have to do something, otherwise I will never be able to get rid of the evil spirit in my heart."
Zhang Chunming understood immediately. He knew that Guo and Song had always had a clear distinction between grievances and grievances. The destruction of Zixiao Temple, Qingxu Temple, his master's practice, and his year of hard work in digging holes were ruined. How could he be willing to let it go?
Zhang Chunming did not try to dissuade him. He pondered for a moment and said: "I will take a dozen of my junior fellow apprentices and set off to the capital tonight. For the safety of your master, it is best to delay what you want to do one day until I leave Kongtong Mountain."
Happen again."
It's not far from Pingliang County to Chang'an. It takes two or three days to get there by car. Guo Song nodded, "I'll wait all day."
"Then Junior Brother comes to Chang'an?"
"Zixiao Tiangong will definitely arrest me on Chang'an Road, so I will go north. I want to go to Lingzhou. After all, I am from Lingzhou. I will send a message to Han Xiaowu's family. After the Lingzhou incident is over,
, I will set off for the capital."
...........
That night, there was loud drumming and music on Cuiping Peak, and the dojo was magnificently decorated. The Taoist priests held countless yellow umbrellas and held a grand ascension ceremony for the three heavenly masters.
The three heavenly masters wore golden crowns on their heads, held jade instruments in their hands, and wore golden Shu brocade Taoist robes. They sat on the red sandalwood Dharma bed. Dozens of Taoist priests placed them in the Sanqing throne at the top of Lingji Cave.
The fifth watch of the Taoist ceremony ended at the fifth watch. All the Taoist priests went back to rest exhausted, leaving a dozen alchemists responsible for keeping watch over the Celestial Master.
At dawn, the stone wall under Cuiping Peak suddenly collapsed. The entire hundred-foot-high stone wall sank inward, making a loud noise like the sky was shattering and the earth was cracking. Thousands of square meters of boulders collapsed, leaving only a few ruins in Lingji Cave. More than a dozen
All the spiritual warlocks were killed among the rocks.
Thousands of Taoist priests in the Zixiao Heavenly Palace were dumbfounded. Not knowing why, Master Baiyun suddenly announced that the three heavenly masters had achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven, triggering heavenly signs. They should report to the court and congratulate Zixiao!
For a time, both the Zixiao Tiangong and Sangong courtyards were filled with joy.
At noon, Guo Song stood on Xiantao Peak and looked at Zixiao Temple. He turned around and sneered at Mengzi standing on his shoulder, "I have never seen such a shameless person. Since he thinks it is gratifying, then I will do something for them."
It’s something that ruins the scenery!”
The goshawk soared into the sky, and Guo Song jumped down from the top of the peak, strode to the Yellow Crane Temple with his ironwood sword on his shoulder, and kicked open the gate of the Yellow Crane Temple.
