All he said was prophecy
Chapter 36
Gu Qingyuan moaned and changed Xia Shan's handkerchief, then lay on the window sill sadly.
Xia Shan coughed twice, his face was flushed, but he looked much better than before, "Why are you losing your temper?"
Little Taoist Gu shook his head, his bun was a little messy, and a few strands fell down, "I didn't lose my temper, senior brother left by himself, without the two of us."
Xia Shan chuckled softly, "You caught a cold too."
Gu Xiao Taoist blushed and felt sad, "Hmph!"
Before Liang Quan left the inn, he let both of them have a good rest, and then left the inn.
The mountain city is a small town, and Liang Quan has already walked through the mountain city before, so he probably knows where the masked man is talking about.
In fact, it was still a busy street.
When Liang Quan appeared in front of the address written by the masked man, he took a few breaths to think about whether there was something wrong with his memory, and then the door opened in front of Liang Quan.
This is a very gorgeous and exquisite mansion. The exterior decoration is extremely luxurious, reminiscent of some high-ranking officials and nobles, and it does not match the feeling of the masked man.
Speaking of the masked man, Liang Quan saw him immediately after the door opened.
The masked man stood hesitantly behind the door. As soon as the door opened, he saw Liang Quan standing in front of the door. He was overjoyed, and walked up to Liang Quan in a few steps, "The Taoist priest is finally here."
Liang Quan's expression remained unchanged, he raised his eyebrows and asked softly, "Where is the man?"
Liang Quan agreed to come because of the Buddha's light on Miao Zhu.Even though Liang Quan had guessed that the person who experienced the thunder calamity was actually Miao Zhu, the Buddha's light that infiltrated half of his body still made Liang Quan fall silent.
"Inside." He led Liang Quan to walk inside. The place looked exquisite and luxurious, but after all, there was less people inside, and the only sound of footsteps was the two of them in the empty courtyard.
The main courtyard is not far from the front courtyard, and the two of them quickly walked through the gallery and entered the courtyard directly.
It wasn't until here that Liang Quan heard a little movement. A woman pushed open the window and met the two of them who had just entered.The masked man panicked and ran into the house.
Liang Quan paused for a moment, not only to give the masked man a buffer, but also because he saw the woman...
She lost her soul.
The light of the soul is incomplete.
The masked man quickly comforted the delicate woman, and then came out to invite Liang Quan in.
The furnishings in the house are simple and elegant, and there is a faint and quiet fragrance, like the smell of cedar, which makes people refreshed.
The masked man turned around and hugged the dazed woman, and said softly, "Master Daoist, this is my wife, Ming Niang."
Liang Quan frowned slightly, if he read correctly, this masked man was originally a Buddhist cultivator.
The masked man caressed Mingniang's blue hair, and said calmly, "I used to be a Buddhist cultivator, and I was enlightened by the great power, and then I betrayed."
Liang Quan didn't get close to Mingniang, his eyes swept over her, and he said after a while, "Her soul is not separated from the body, but completely dead, irreparable."
The masked man trembled and kissed Mingniang's hair uncontrollably, "I know."
"I was originally a ghost. After betraying Buddhism, I couldn't control my nature and caused some troubles. I should have lost my soul in that thunder calamity. It was Ming Niang who saved me." The masked man's breathing was a little heavy, but he looked at Ming Niang His eyes are very affectionate.
Ming Niang has a petite body, leaning against the side of the masked figure, her clean eyes are very innocent, without any haze.
"Mingniang was supposed to enjoy all the glory, but something happened because of me, I..." The masked man choked up, and the hand holding Mingniang trembled.
Liang Quan was silent, "What do you want to do?"
"I know the Taoist priest has the ability to bring the dead back to life. I beg the Taoist priest to save my wife." The masked man raised his hand and pressed next year's back, and she fell asleep without a sound, then got up and knelt down in front of Liang Quan, with a desolate voice. Trembling, it is indeed pitiful.
Liang Quan took two steps back, shook his head and said, "Where did you know about Poverty?"
There was only one meeting at the mountain temple, so it was impossible for him to know so much.
The mask said humanely, "When I was still a monk, I followed the elders in the temple to visit the master of the Taoist priest."
Liang Quan's fingertips trembled slightly, and he heard the masked man continue to say, "At that time, the Taoist priest was young, and I only met him once, so I don't think I remember it. But the elder and the Taoist master had a long conversation. I was born with deaf ears. , I heard a mouthful."
"The Daoist master said that the Daoist priest's ability is innate, it is a pity from the heavens, and it is also an unreasonable disaster. It can be life and death, but it will also cause great disasters. It should be a life of ups and downs, and it will not end well. But he just didn't believe it, and he insisted on turning things around. "
The masked man paused when he said this, as if he was recalling something, "The elder promised not to mention this matter, and discussed how to solve it. But the latter matter seems to have been banned, and I can't remember it until today .”
Liang Quan knew his master's ability very well. The masked man said he couldn't remember it, but in fact his master should have discovered it, which made him unable to remember the second half of the matter.
He sighed softly, stretched out his hand, and the masked man stood up uncontrollably.
"Pindao really has such ability." Liang Quan said softly, his dark eyes couldn't see anything clearly, and there was no wave in the ancient well.
The masked man was ecstatic, looking at Liang Quan with even more eager eyes.
Liang Quan shook his head, reached out and tapped Ming Niang behind him, "You killed thousands of people. Although outsiders thought it was a natural disaster, you could not escape the condemnation of heaven. During the thunder disaster at that time, you would definitely die."
"Mingniang is a good person of the ten generations. She was supposed to be rich and prosperous, safe and happy. Not only did she lose her soul, but she exhausted all her merits and virtues to save your life."
Liang Quan's voice was as cold as spring water, pouring harshly on the masked man's head.
The masked man froze in place, every word Liang Quan said hit his heart, like a sharp blade piercing into his heart, the pain was uncontrollable.
"Pindao may be able to find a replacement, but Mingniang's lifespan is over, even if she condenses her soul and body again, it cannot be brought back." Liang Quan bowed and looked solemn, "Pindao is helpless."
The sins committed by the masked man are so serious that they will not be able to end well after the catastrophe that they should go through, but it cannot be offset by a mere soul.Mingniang's merits as a good person in the tenth life are only enough to give the masked man a glimmer of life. After that, Mingniang loses her soul, and it must be difficult and harsh when she enters reincarnation.
But since Mingniang knew how to save her, she should also know the consequences.
What Liang Quan, an outsider, could think of, the masked man, an insider, would naturally think of.He suddenly raised his head and looked at Liang Quan, with purely crazy eyes, "Master Dao, I don't ask her what will happen in this life, but at least her reincarnation can be normal, don't let her be like this, like this..." He bit his cheek, eyes It was full of blood red.
Liang Quan sighed softly, and walked slowly to the side of the bed.The woman resting on the bed has a beautiful face, her brows are very calm, maybe she is having some good dreams, and there is a smile on her mouth.
Liang Quan stretched out his hand to hold the woman's pulse, stepped back after a while, and moved his lips lightly twice.
The masked man clearly heard Liang Quan's voice, but he couldn't understand what he meant. A vague and vast existence descended faintly, and the masked man was a little out of breath.
The masked man is born with a strange spirit, and he has a deep feeling for these illusory things, looking at Liang Quan's eyes full of expectations and extravagant desires.
After Liang Quan spoke, he turned back and went straight to the door, and his precarious words came into the ears of the masked man.
"Pindao has done his best, and you must not be born in the next hundred years, otherwise Mingniang's kindness will be in vain."
The main body of the masked man is a peacock. This is not a pet of later generations, but a real beast.
The first peacock in the world was Kong Xuan. After Kong Xuan was adopted by Buddhism, he became the Peacock Daming King Bodhisattva.
The blood of the masked man is related to Kong Xuan, but it has been diluted for a long time, and he has become one of the spirits struggling with all living beings.He was originally taken away by Da Neng after his transformation, but later when he rebelled against Buddhism, he failed to suppress his vicious nature, which caused great disaster.
Misfortune begins with him, and since he is destroyed.
The masked man kowtowed a few times before he hurriedly turned to look at Mingniang.Unexpectedly, Mingniang woke up early, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and a gentle expression, even though she was still a little dazed, she called softly.
After Liang Quan left the mansion, he remembered that the people who entered the city wantonly yesterday were the team of masked men, otherwise he would not have felt so familiar and strange.
He is not omnipotent, he can only temporarily recall some of Mingniang's memories to protect her from suffering when she re-enters reincarnation.
The life expectancy of the two people is not equal, and it is conceivable how it will end.
Love is hard to break.
Liang Quan walked slowly on the street, not sticking to where he wanted to go, rubbing shoulders amidst the hustle and bustle of people, sometimes it was also a kind of tempering.
He recalled the words of the masked man.
The reason why he chased Liang Quan for thousands of miles was precisely because he had heard the words of Master Liang Quan, so he regarded Liang Quan as the last floating board.
But in the middle, it's still a little strange.
Liang Quan flashed suspiciously for a few years, then stopped suddenly, turned around and returned to the original mansion.
There was no one in the mansion, Liang Quan also went in directly, and hurried back to the place where he had just talked with the masked man, as expected, both of them were not here.
Liang Quan narrowed his eyes slightly, and paced around the room, someone set up a trap.
The masked figure is true, Ming Niang is also true, and what happened is also true, but only the ultimate goal is false.
Liang Quan's face darkened slightly, and he immediately thought of the most crucial point.They want to confirm whether Liang Quan really has that kind of ability, it's not a matter of life and death, but it's better to bring the dead back to life, it's enough to drive most people in the world crazy.
Not to mention, Liang Quan's real ability goes beyond that.
Liang Quan frowned, and felt the little paper figurine break free from the skirt, and was lying on its stomach looking at him.It has the same heart with Liang Quan, so it naturally feels that Liang Quan is not in a good mood now.
Liang Quan caressed the little paper figurine with his fingertips, and suddenly felt heat in his waist. He reached into his pocket and took out something.
It's that piece of jade.
The jade piece shimmered, obviously absorbed a little bit of moral golden light, Liang Quan thought about it, and his face suddenly became silent.
Liang Quan's matter of saving Mingniang will not get the attention of heaven, and there will be no moral golden light, but what if the masked man dies?
Spirits are always more difficult than humans, and talents are the darlings of the heavens. Masked people have killed countless people, and they should have died long ago.If the masked man killed himself after Liang Quan left, it would undoubtedly be regarded as Liang Quan's merit by Tiandao.
Before the thread could be completely pulled out, it was already broken.
Liang Quan didn't stay here for long, he left soon and went back to the inn.This action was actually because Liang Quan remembered something. At the mountain temple, this masked man pretended to be a temple priest, not only saw Liang Quan, but also saw Amo.
There may be something odd about it.
When Liang Quan returned to the inn, Taoist Gu was lying on the window sill bored, watching the passers-by pulling the petals.On the tall branches in the courtyard, only the plum blossoms that bloom in the cold have a faint fragrance.
"If you continue to pull it off, the shopkeeper will come to you desperately." After Xia Shan drank the medicine, his whole body became much more energetic, and he leaned on the head of the bed and watched Gu Qingyuan go into hysteria with a funny look.
Gu Qingyuan flattened his mouth, spilled the petals in his hand, and didn't do such childish things anymore, but straightened up and wanted to talk to Xia Shan, but Liang Quan came back before he could speak.
Daoist Gu's eyes lit up, and he said immediately, "Brother, did you encounter anything today?"
He swore that he just said that casually, but he didn't expect the senior brother to nod his head, and then used up all his stock in front of Taoist Gu.
Survival represents the yellow talisman drawn by Taoist Gu in advance. He was stunned to see Liang Quan's extravagant behavior. He even pasted all the twenty or so yellow talismans on the doors and windows!
After Liang Quan finished, he looked at Xiao Taoist Gu seriously, "You are not stable when drawing talismans, ten of them are only half effective, and the rest are only six that are really effective, and the rest are not bad. From now on, ten talismans will be drawn every day. , Progressing layer by layer, don't waste your stubbornness any longer."
It is a shameful thing to be tested by the senior brother on the spot, Taoist Gu blushed slightly and nodded repeatedly.
"Don't go out for the next few days, so you can recover from your injuries. I'll come see you in the afternoon." Liang Quan said lightly, and then went back to his room.
After the little Taoist priest sent Senior Brother Liang away, he stood there wondering, did he forget something?
Xia Shan touched his forehead casually, and muttered, "Is the little Daoist a little stupid?" Didn't he find that Liang Daoist didn't answer his question?
After Liang Quan returned to the house, he didn't do anything like he did in the next room.
The reason why Taoist Gu's talismans are used is because of the reason he just said, and also to give him advice.With the yellow talisman, even if something happens, it can temporarily resist it for a while, and this moment is enough for Liang Quan to go to the rescue.
As for him, there is no difference between having or not.
Liang Quan took the little paper figurine out of his clothes, put it on the table, and said gently, "Can you help me connect with Amo?"
The little paper man nodded seriously, and stretched out his hand to draw a small circle.
As soon as Liang Quan felt that the little paper figurine was connected, it was interrupted with a snap.
The little paper man froze for a moment, then continued to connect it.
Paji broke again.
Connected again.
Liang Quan: "..."
Just after this farce-like process was repeated ten times, Amo's lazy voice came out slowly, "Hey, did the Taoist chief remember me?"
Liang Quan was slightly taken aback, feeling somewhat guilty for some reason.
Unexpectedly, Amo was not entangled in this matter, "Why did the little Taoist seek me?"
Liang Quan didn't think about it, "Amoke still remembers the mountain temple?"
Amo asked back, "The temple wishes?"
Liang Quan's expression softened, "Yes." Amo's reaction was still so sensitive, Liang Quan explained the cause and effect of the matter, and then said, "This matter doesn't look right, it must have been premeditated. It's just for the time being I don’t know if this plan fell on Pindao or on Amo.”
Amo said indifferently, "Maybe there are both."
Liang Quan nodded slowly when he heard the words. If it was true, it could only be said that the other party had plotted a long time ago.
"Amo seems to have guessed?" Liang Quan said.
"So what, so what if you don't have it? Doesn't someone just cut contact with the world and come to the door when something happens?" Amo said angrily.
Liang Quan chuckled, "How is Ah Mo going?"
Amo raised his eyebrows, how could he hear the provocative feeling, "wait for the next time to settle it together."
Liang Quan vaguely knew what Amo might know, but since he didn't mention it, Liang Quan didn't continue to ask.
A few days later, Xia Shan finally recovered, and Taoist Gu also recovered from his typhoid fever, so he began to pester Liang Quan to go to Gaoshi Mountain.
Although the mountain city is said to be at the foot of Gaoshi Mountain, it is actually still some distance away from Gaoshi Mountain, so things need to be prepared in advance.Liang Quan went out to prepare food, but Gu Qingyuan took Xia Shan and sneaked away through the back door.
Xia Shan looked curiously at Xiao Taoist Gu who dragged him out, "Why are you so sneaky, can you just ask Daoist Liang to help you buy something if you want to buy something?"
"No." Taoist Gu shook his head fiercely, "Brother is a vegetarian, so we can't ask him to help buy some meat. Do you want to eat baked buns every day?"
Xia Shan thought about the food along the way, and suddenly shivered, "No."
No matter how delicious the steamed bun is, it will be completely boring after ten days and half a month. God knows why Liang Daochang has a soft spot for this steamed bun.
Gu Xiaotao priest cared for Xia Shan with his childish eyes, then swept the nearby shops, and ran back sneakily.
Although Liang Quan actually arrived before them.
The next day, Liang Quan left the mountain city with Gu Qingyuan and Xia Shan after temporarily handing over the three horses to the inn to take care of and added some money.
There is still a distance between the mountain city and Gaoshi Mountain. It takes about half a day to walk. Liang Quan did not idle along the way, but began to test the homework of Gu Xiaotao. Little Taoist Hou Gu was much more slack than before, Liang Quan pointed out many small problems along the way.
When Gu Qingyuan was criticized, Xia Shan was listening and benefited a lot.
Liang Quan didn't hide his secrets, and occasionally Xia Shan would teach him carefully when he asked questions. In the afternoon, they began to approach Gao Shishan.
According to the legend, Gaoshi Mountain, Tongrong Mountain, and Lu Mountain are all three hundred miles apart, each with its own characteristics.This high mountain has more vegetation and less danger, so Liang Quan brought the two teenagers here.
After all, Gaoshi Mountain is a famous mountain in the rumors. Even if ordinary people feel that it is only one of the Five Sacred Mountains, it actually contains much more aura than the outside world. When Gu Xiaodao just stepped in here, his eyes widened.
"Senior brother—I want to settle down here!" Gu Qingyuan sensed the benefits from certain reactions in his body, and immediately rubbed against Liang Quan with a smile, "It's so comfortable here."
Even Xia Shan, who is usually calm, couldn't help nodding his head in agreement with Gu Xiaodao, "After walking for so long, I should feel tired. But for some reason, I always feel light in my body."
Liang Quan nodded, "Every famous mountain has always been a place rich in aura, and practicing here is indeed more effective." He looked at the happy Taoist Gu, "But it's been here for a long time, and it's hard to get used to it after going out."
From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.
It is impossible for Gu Qingyuan to stay here forever.
Taoist Gu was silent for a quarter of an hour because of Liang Quan's words, and then followed Xia Shan and started to have fun all over the mountains and plains.
Liang Quan originally brought them to see the world, but he didn't restrain them, instead he let the little paper figurines stay with them.The little paper man had a lively personality, and immediately followed Little Taoist Gu and the others to have fun.
Liang Quan only needs to perceive the position of the little paper figurine to know where Gu Qingyuan and the others are.
Gao Shi Mountain is rich in vegetation, because of the aura, there are many tens of feet high trees here, if there is not a road that is barely a mountain road, it would be difficult for them to walk up the mountain.
"Brother-"
Taoist Gu's voice came from afar, with a hint of urgency, but because there was no special reaction from the little paper figurine, Liang Quan was not worried.
When Liang Quan followed the induction, he saw Gu Xiaodao and Xia Shan squatting together under the shade of a tree.
This is a huge palm tree, which cannot be surrounded by more than a dozen people. It should have experienced hundreds of thousands of years of light and shadow.Speaking of grass and trees, they should be the most peaceful. Once they take root, it takes a long time. For grass and trees, a hundred years of life may have just passed their infancy. .
Little Taoist Gu said sadly, "Brother, is it going to die?"
This palm tree was the largest they had ever seen since they went up the mountain, but when they got closer, they realized that the roots of the tree had been drilled out long ago, and many roots were withered.It can be clearly seen that it is a withered tree root, and its branches are heavily bearing fruits, which are full and thick.
Liang Quan stood behind them, "This tree tried to transform into a form, but after failing, it scattered all the essence and merged into the fruits. These fruits are a great supplement to you."
Taoist Gu put aside the inexplicable sadness immediately, and happily climbed up to pick the fruit.
Xia Shan looked at Gu Qingyuan's nimble posture quite speechlessly, "Daoist Liang, aren't you going to save it?"
There is a stark contrast between Xiao Taoist Gu's sadness just now and his joy now.
"This is fate. If you can't survive the transformation, you will fall naturally." Liang Quan said calmly, "These fruits will also fall into the soil after the season, and the aura will return to heaven and earth."
This is a cycle.
These cultivators, when the number of their lives is up, the spiritual power contained in them will overflow after death and become part of the heaven and earth.Such a reciprocating cycle can lead to prosperity.
Little Taoist Gu happily picked up a pocket and came back, then carefully divided it into three parts, and piled the rest in front of Liang Quan and Xia Shan.
Xia Shan pointed at himself suspiciously, "Me too?"
Gu Qingyuan nodded naturally, "Those who see it have a share, these are also useful to you, eating to strengthen your body, there is no harm."
Xia Shan glanced at Liang Quan and saw that Liang Quan had no objection, so he happily accepted it.
When night fell, Gu Qingyuan wisely found a relatively clean place to make a fire, and then he and Xia Shan hurriedly leaned against the fire to keep warm.
They have been walking around during the day, and they don't feel the cold, but once they stop, their bodies can't bear it.
Xia Shan looked enviously at Liang Quan who was standing far away by the water source, "Daoist Liang is really amazing, he is not cold until now."
Gu Xiao Taoist shrugged and fiddled with the fire with a branch to make the branches below burn, "Senior brother is just that powerful."
Gaoshi Mountain is the source of the water. They could vaguely hear the sound of gurgling water at the place they walked, and finally Liang Quan chose to rest here.
He went to the water's edge and fetched two bamboo tubes of water, and then he came back and handed it to Taoist Gu to cook something.
Liang Quan was fully aware of Taoist Gu's desire to cook meat.
Gu Qingyuan looked at his senior brother and laughed a few times, and quickly built another fire next door, trying to avoid senior brother Liang, and rubbed his palms with Xia Shan to wait for the meat to eat.
Liang Quan took out a big steamed bun from the bundle, quickly roasted it on the fire, and then took a bite.
Liang Quan's love for steamed buns may have to be traced back to when he was very young, so young that he hadn't recovered his memory, hadn't met Amo, and didn't even know that he had a voice.
When Xiao Liangquan was a child, he lived in the remote Sanguan Temple with the old Taoist couple, and it was very troublesome to go down the mountain.
Every time the old Taoist went up the mountain with Xiaoliangquan and the other hand, he bought it for a month.Anyway, there were only two of us, and it was easy to find a grass and tree elf to help us when we went up the mountain occasionally to be lazy.
This old way is good in every way, but there is one thing that is really scum.
He can't cook.
It doesn't matter if the veteran doesn't know how to cook, the food he makes is often so unpalatable that even piglets won't eat it.
With such cooking skills, Xiao Liangquan regarded eating as a difficult task in life, until later when he went down the mountain, the old man accidentally forgot Liang Quan at the door of the steamed stuffed bun shop.
The proprietress looked at Xiao Liangquan with distress, and took out two big steamed buns from the freshly baked stove and stuffed them to Liang Quan, which immediately shocked Xiao Liangquan into heaven!
There are such delicious things in this world!
After the proprietress found out, she scolded the old Taoist who hurried back to find the little apprentice, and forced him to take Xiao Liangquan to have a decent meal. After the old Taoist confessed his mistake, he saved Xiao Liangquan Liang Quan slipped into the abyss of taste.
The old man learned from the pain and decided to buy big steamed buns every month to go back.
It just happens to be so easy to do without cooking, which is simply wonderful.
Big steamed buns became Xiao Liangquan's favorite food when he was young, and this preference has not changed until today.
Liang Quan is nostalgic, whether it is a person or a thing.
After Liang Quan finished eating the big steamed buns, he called Daoist Gu and Xia Shan to rest and sleep deep in the mountains. There must be no one left to watch the night. Liang Quan planned to be in charge of the night watch, but it didn't mean that the two young boys could go to play freely.
Night is far more dangerous than day.
Daoist Gu Xiao and Xia Shan agreed, and then took out another cotton coat from their respective bags, covered their bodies and nestled down to rest.
With Liang Quan around, the two of them slept very peacefully, and just buried their heads in the cotton padded clothes and fell asleep with a snort.
Liang Quan frowned, closed his eyes and meditated.
The night in Gaoshi Mountain is very quiet, only the rustling wind and falling snowflakes sound very peaceful.The mountains are densely forested, and it is difficult for the moonlight to fall through the leaves. Within a radius of ten miles, there is only the light reflected by these two piles of flames.
pat-
This is the sound of dancing flames.
The voice seemed ordinary, but Liang Quan opened his eyes, reflecting the quiet scene at the moment.
Daoist Gu Xiao and Xia Shan leaned close to each other, with their heads leaning against their heads, most of their bodies were buried in the cotton-padded clothes, and the flames danced by their sides, looking very warm.
There was no difference, but Liang Quan did not continue to meditate and rest.
The flame seemed to be a little small, Liang Quan reached out and took the firewood that Gu Qingyuan had prepared and threw it into the two piles of bonfires, and continued to maintain the heat of the bonfires.
The flame swayed enchantingly twice, and the fire became even stronger.
Liang Quan tilted his head and thought for a while, then suddenly took out the bamboo tube from his side, and sprinkled half of the water on the fire.
Although there was less water, the firewood that had just been put down had not yet burned. According to common sense, it would be difficult for these dead branches to burn after being soaked, so the flame should be smaller.
But the fire got bigger instead.
Liang Quan frowned, and said softly, "Which expert is here?"
Gao Shishan is full of vegetation, and it is very difficult to produce a fire spirit from it, and this place is not a crater.Excluding the natural reasons, it can only be that someone followed.
The surrounding environment seemed to be silent for a moment, and then soft footsteps sounded.
If the footsteps didn't come from the unknown, Liang Quan actually liked the sound of stepping on the snow, the creaking and the unique coldness of winter.
A middle-aged man with a crossbow on his back appeared in front of Liang Quan.
He has a stern look, with a scar on his left cheek, a mole on the base of his ear, and a Chinese character face. He looks upright.Wearing bulging clothes, he looked at Liang Quan with doubts.
"Where are you from?"
Liang Quan said, "Traveling."
What Liang Quan answered was not what the middle-aged man wanted, but after Liang Quan answered, the naked eye could see that the middle-aged man was relieved.
Liang Quan put his hands on his knees, and he didn't move away because of the approach of the middle-aged man, "You and Pindao don't have the same purpose, so you don't need to scare us."
The middle-aged man was overwhelmed by the truth, but he didn't feel embarrassed. He glanced at the bonfire, "Why should I trust you?"
Liang Quan said in a low voice, "The poor don't need your trust."
The middle-aged man was about to say more, but when Liang Quan raised his hand, a flash of inspiration flashed out, and the small sword shot out suddenly, and the clothes pinning the back of the middle-aged man's neck quickly fell back.
When the middle-aged man came back to his senses, he no longer knew where he appeared in the deep mountains.
He settled down and tried to mobilize the aura he had attached to the campfire just now, but found that it was useless at all.The middle-aged man spat hard and showed his big teeth, "I don't believe that someone went up to Gaoshi Mountain just for sightseeing!"
This time is too close!
……
Daoist Gu Xiao and Xia Shan slept until dawn, and when the sun first came up, Gu Qingyuan woke up with a jolt. As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt comfortable all over his body, as if he had been washed.
He was wondering when he heard Liang Quan's words, "Go wash up."
Little Taoist Gu raised his hand to touch his face, rubbed the mud off his face, and immediately ran towards the stream.Xia Shan was startled awake by Gu Qingyuan's actions, and after rubbing his eyes, he also realized the tragedy, and immediately jumped into the water too.
Playing in the water in winter sounds like a good picture, but unfortunately the freezing water temperature made Gu Xiaodao and Xia Shan shivering and rushed back, relying on the remaining bonfire to continue their lives.
When Gu Qingyuan stopped trembling, he realized that the spiritual power in his body had more than doubled, but the flow was very smooth without any discomfort.
"The fruit you ate yesterday is good for your body. It will be a little faster for the first time." It won't happen in the future.
I don't know that the fruit of the palm tree was produced by its thousands of years of practice. Naturally, it has magical effects, but it will also slowly disappear.
Taoist Gu nodded happily, and then followed Xia Shan to clean up yesterday's wreckage.
"Brother, shall we continue?" Both of them were eager to try, they were very excited about what they had gained yesterday and what they had done this morning.
Liang Quan did not answer immediately, but told them what happened last night, and finally asked, "Do you want to continue?"
Daoist Gu and Xia Shan looked at each other, then Gu Qingyuan cleared his throat and said first, "Brother, I want to continue walking."
They have only entered the mountain for a day, so there is no reason to leave now.
Right now Liang Quan is leading them on a walk, if they dare not continue to go deeper under such circumstances, wouldn't it be worse than this when they separate in the future? !
Xia Shan said, "I don't know whether this person is an enemy or a friend, but he can't surrender without a fight. If he is frightened like this, he will not dare to move forward."
Liang Quan nodded. It was within his expectation that the two did not lose their fighting spirit because of this matter.
Little Taoist Gu was worried that Liang Quan would let them leave, so he packed everything up very thoughtfully and covered up the traces they left behind, so he looked at Liang Quan anxiously.
Liang Quan smiled helplessly, let them choose the way up the mountain, and led them away from the place where they stayed overnight.
Half a day later, different people came towards Gaoshi Mountain, some were wrapped in dark black clothes, or monks with kind and serious faces, Taoist priests of different schools, etc., all aimed at Gaoshi Mountain.
At this moment, Liang Quan, who was leading Daoist Gu and Xia Shan, moved slightly, looking at the two people who were walking happily ahead, he noticed the ups and downs on the mountain.
Someone is coming, and more than one.
Liang Quan recalled Gao Shishan's records, unless there are some treasures in the world, otherwise there shouldn't be so many people coming... Liang Quan vaguely sensed that there were many high-level people coming.
Liang Quan wasn't worried. If something happened, he could protect the two and leave.And such a sudden thing, if you really encounter it, it will be a test.
Two days later, they met a road-crazy Taoist who was alone
This Taoist couldn't even tell the difference between east, west and north. When Xia Shan found him, he was still walking down the mountain, but judging from what he said, he clearly planned to go up the mountain.
This level of confusion and obsession made Xiao Taoist Gu amazed, "If you hadn't met us, wouldn't you have gone all the way down the mountain in vain?"
Daoist Lu Chi smiled and waved his hands, "Sanqing is on top, so the poor Taoist has met a fellow Taoist?"
Little Taoist Gu pursed his lips, and then shook his head, "What are you going to do up the mountain? There's nothing to see about this high mountain, it's all grass and trees." It's been a few days since they entered the mountain, and they still have surprises, but they also have a general idea of Gao Shishan's situation. up.
Taoist Lu Chi readily spread his hands, "Didn't you come here only after receiving the invitation?"
He came only after receiving an invitation from the exchange meeting.
The exchange meeting, as the name suggests, is a meeting to exchange Lingbao, Lingcao and other things held at regular times and at fixed times, and those who are capable of holding it are all experts.
The organizer of this exchange meeting is the Abbot, the abbot of Lingbao Temple.
Lingbao Temple lives in seclusion in the mountains, but Liang Quan has also heard its name. The disciples of his temple take killing demons and demons as their mission, and they often hear rumors when they walk.
As the abbot and abbot of Lingbao Temple, he is naturally capable of holding a Lingbao exchange meeting.
Like Liang Quan's little paper figurine and little sword, they are actually a kind of Lingbao.
Gu Qingyuan looked back at Liang Quan, Liang Quan strolled forward, "Salvation of Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Pindao didn't receive the invitation, he just took his junior for a trip to the mountains, never expected to meet this kind of thing."
Daoist Lu Chi has a handsome face. Although he is sometimes confused, he still knows the general idea. He immediately pressed Gu Qingyuan's shoulder and said with a smile, "It is fate to meet each other. Fellow Daoists bring them to travel, why don't we go to see and see together?" , is not a bad thing."
When Liang Quan heard the words, he also responded generously to the matter.
The venue for the conference is on Mount Gaoshi, and only those with invitations can find the venue.
A few days later, Liang Quan and others followed Lu Chi Taoist through the precipitous line of sky, took a long detour, passed through the barrier before the start of the conference, and entered the venue where the conference was held.
Liang Quan clearly felt that they had to pass through a barrier before they could see the scene in front of them. Pavilions, terraces and lofts suddenly appeared on Gaoshi Mountain. downtown.
Taoist Lu Chi shrugged, "It's all an illusion to support the scene."
Liang Quan smiled lightly. To be able to say it so bluntly, this idiot is really an interesting person.
Xia Shan coughed twice, his face was flushed, but he looked much better than before, "Why are you losing your temper?"
Little Taoist Gu shook his head, his bun was a little messy, and a few strands fell down, "I didn't lose my temper, senior brother left by himself, without the two of us."
Xia Shan chuckled softly, "You caught a cold too."
Gu Xiao Taoist blushed and felt sad, "Hmph!"
Before Liang Quan left the inn, he let both of them have a good rest, and then left the inn.
The mountain city is a small town, and Liang Quan has already walked through the mountain city before, so he probably knows where the masked man is talking about.
In fact, it was still a busy street.
When Liang Quan appeared in front of the address written by the masked man, he took a few breaths to think about whether there was something wrong with his memory, and then the door opened in front of Liang Quan.
This is a very gorgeous and exquisite mansion. The exterior decoration is extremely luxurious, reminiscent of some high-ranking officials and nobles, and it does not match the feeling of the masked man.
Speaking of the masked man, Liang Quan saw him immediately after the door opened.
The masked man stood hesitantly behind the door. As soon as the door opened, he saw Liang Quan standing in front of the door. He was overjoyed, and walked up to Liang Quan in a few steps, "The Taoist priest is finally here."
Liang Quan's expression remained unchanged, he raised his eyebrows and asked softly, "Where is the man?"
Liang Quan agreed to come because of the Buddha's light on Miao Zhu.Even though Liang Quan had guessed that the person who experienced the thunder calamity was actually Miao Zhu, the Buddha's light that infiltrated half of his body still made Liang Quan fall silent.
"Inside." He led Liang Quan to walk inside. The place looked exquisite and luxurious, but after all, there was less people inside, and the only sound of footsteps was the two of them in the empty courtyard.
The main courtyard is not far from the front courtyard, and the two of them quickly walked through the gallery and entered the courtyard directly.
It wasn't until here that Liang Quan heard a little movement. A woman pushed open the window and met the two of them who had just entered.The masked man panicked and ran into the house.
Liang Quan paused for a moment, not only to give the masked man a buffer, but also because he saw the woman...
She lost her soul.
The light of the soul is incomplete.
The masked man quickly comforted the delicate woman, and then came out to invite Liang Quan in.
The furnishings in the house are simple and elegant, and there is a faint and quiet fragrance, like the smell of cedar, which makes people refreshed.
The masked man turned around and hugged the dazed woman, and said softly, "Master Daoist, this is my wife, Ming Niang."
Liang Quan frowned slightly, if he read correctly, this masked man was originally a Buddhist cultivator.
The masked man caressed Mingniang's blue hair, and said calmly, "I used to be a Buddhist cultivator, and I was enlightened by the great power, and then I betrayed."
Liang Quan didn't get close to Mingniang, his eyes swept over her, and he said after a while, "Her soul is not separated from the body, but completely dead, irreparable."
The masked man trembled and kissed Mingniang's hair uncontrollably, "I know."
"I was originally a ghost. After betraying Buddhism, I couldn't control my nature and caused some troubles. I should have lost my soul in that thunder calamity. It was Ming Niang who saved me." The masked man's breathing was a little heavy, but he looked at Ming Niang His eyes are very affectionate.
Ming Niang has a petite body, leaning against the side of the masked figure, her clean eyes are very innocent, without any haze.
"Mingniang was supposed to enjoy all the glory, but something happened because of me, I..." The masked man choked up, and the hand holding Mingniang trembled.
Liang Quan was silent, "What do you want to do?"
"I know the Taoist priest has the ability to bring the dead back to life. I beg the Taoist priest to save my wife." The masked man raised his hand and pressed next year's back, and she fell asleep without a sound, then got up and knelt down in front of Liang Quan, with a desolate voice. Trembling, it is indeed pitiful.
Liang Quan took two steps back, shook his head and said, "Where did you know about Poverty?"
There was only one meeting at the mountain temple, so it was impossible for him to know so much.
The mask said humanely, "When I was still a monk, I followed the elders in the temple to visit the master of the Taoist priest."
Liang Quan's fingertips trembled slightly, and he heard the masked man continue to say, "At that time, the Taoist priest was young, and I only met him once, so I don't think I remember it. But the elder and the Taoist master had a long conversation. I was born with deaf ears. , I heard a mouthful."
"The Daoist master said that the Daoist priest's ability is innate, it is a pity from the heavens, and it is also an unreasonable disaster. It can be life and death, but it will also cause great disasters. It should be a life of ups and downs, and it will not end well. But he just didn't believe it, and he insisted on turning things around. "
The masked man paused when he said this, as if he was recalling something, "The elder promised not to mention this matter, and discussed how to solve it. But the latter matter seems to have been banned, and I can't remember it until today .”
Liang Quan knew his master's ability very well. The masked man said he couldn't remember it, but in fact his master should have discovered it, which made him unable to remember the second half of the matter.
He sighed softly, stretched out his hand, and the masked man stood up uncontrollably.
"Pindao really has such ability." Liang Quan said softly, his dark eyes couldn't see anything clearly, and there was no wave in the ancient well.
The masked man was ecstatic, looking at Liang Quan with even more eager eyes.
Liang Quan shook his head, reached out and tapped Ming Niang behind him, "You killed thousands of people. Although outsiders thought it was a natural disaster, you could not escape the condemnation of heaven. During the thunder disaster at that time, you would definitely die."
"Mingniang is a good person of the ten generations. She was supposed to be rich and prosperous, safe and happy. Not only did she lose her soul, but she exhausted all her merits and virtues to save your life."
Liang Quan's voice was as cold as spring water, pouring harshly on the masked man's head.
The masked man froze in place, every word Liang Quan said hit his heart, like a sharp blade piercing into his heart, the pain was uncontrollable.
"Pindao may be able to find a replacement, but Mingniang's lifespan is over, even if she condenses her soul and body again, it cannot be brought back." Liang Quan bowed and looked solemn, "Pindao is helpless."
The sins committed by the masked man are so serious that they will not be able to end well after the catastrophe that they should go through, but it cannot be offset by a mere soul.Mingniang's merits as a good person in the tenth life are only enough to give the masked man a glimmer of life. After that, Mingniang loses her soul, and it must be difficult and harsh when she enters reincarnation.
But since Mingniang knew how to save her, she should also know the consequences.
What Liang Quan, an outsider, could think of, the masked man, an insider, would naturally think of.He suddenly raised his head and looked at Liang Quan, with purely crazy eyes, "Master Dao, I don't ask her what will happen in this life, but at least her reincarnation can be normal, don't let her be like this, like this..." He bit his cheek, eyes It was full of blood red.
Liang Quan sighed softly, and walked slowly to the side of the bed.The woman resting on the bed has a beautiful face, her brows are very calm, maybe she is having some good dreams, and there is a smile on her mouth.
Liang Quan stretched out his hand to hold the woman's pulse, stepped back after a while, and moved his lips lightly twice.
The masked man clearly heard Liang Quan's voice, but he couldn't understand what he meant. A vague and vast existence descended faintly, and the masked man was a little out of breath.
The masked man is born with a strange spirit, and he has a deep feeling for these illusory things, looking at Liang Quan's eyes full of expectations and extravagant desires.
After Liang Quan spoke, he turned back and went straight to the door, and his precarious words came into the ears of the masked man.
"Pindao has done his best, and you must not be born in the next hundred years, otherwise Mingniang's kindness will be in vain."
The main body of the masked man is a peacock. This is not a pet of later generations, but a real beast.
The first peacock in the world was Kong Xuan. After Kong Xuan was adopted by Buddhism, he became the Peacock Daming King Bodhisattva.
The blood of the masked man is related to Kong Xuan, but it has been diluted for a long time, and he has become one of the spirits struggling with all living beings.He was originally taken away by Da Neng after his transformation, but later when he rebelled against Buddhism, he failed to suppress his vicious nature, which caused great disaster.
Misfortune begins with him, and since he is destroyed.
The masked man kowtowed a few times before he hurriedly turned to look at Mingniang.Unexpectedly, Mingniang woke up early, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and a gentle expression, even though she was still a little dazed, she called softly.
After Liang Quan left the mansion, he remembered that the people who entered the city wantonly yesterday were the team of masked men, otherwise he would not have felt so familiar and strange.
He is not omnipotent, he can only temporarily recall some of Mingniang's memories to protect her from suffering when she re-enters reincarnation.
The life expectancy of the two people is not equal, and it is conceivable how it will end.
Love is hard to break.
Liang Quan walked slowly on the street, not sticking to where he wanted to go, rubbing shoulders amidst the hustle and bustle of people, sometimes it was also a kind of tempering.
He recalled the words of the masked man.
The reason why he chased Liang Quan for thousands of miles was precisely because he had heard the words of Master Liang Quan, so he regarded Liang Quan as the last floating board.
But in the middle, it's still a little strange.
Liang Quan flashed suspiciously for a few years, then stopped suddenly, turned around and returned to the original mansion.
There was no one in the mansion, Liang Quan also went in directly, and hurried back to the place where he had just talked with the masked man, as expected, both of them were not here.
Liang Quan narrowed his eyes slightly, and paced around the room, someone set up a trap.
The masked figure is true, Ming Niang is also true, and what happened is also true, but only the ultimate goal is false.
Liang Quan's face darkened slightly, and he immediately thought of the most crucial point.They want to confirm whether Liang Quan really has that kind of ability, it's not a matter of life and death, but it's better to bring the dead back to life, it's enough to drive most people in the world crazy.
Not to mention, Liang Quan's real ability goes beyond that.
Liang Quan frowned, and felt the little paper figurine break free from the skirt, and was lying on its stomach looking at him.It has the same heart with Liang Quan, so it naturally feels that Liang Quan is not in a good mood now.
Liang Quan caressed the little paper figurine with his fingertips, and suddenly felt heat in his waist. He reached into his pocket and took out something.
It's that piece of jade.
The jade piece shimmered, obviously absorbed a little bit of moral golden light, Liang Quan thought about it, and his face suddenly became silent.
Liang Quan's matter of saving Mingniang will not get the attention of heaven, and there will be no moral golden light, but what if the masked man dies?
Spirits are always more difficult than humans, and talents are the darlings of the heavens. Masked people have killed countless people, and they should have died long ago.If the masked man killed himself after Liang Quan left, it would undoubtedly be regarded as Liang Quan's merit by Tiandao.
Before the thread could be completely pulled out, it was already broken.
Liang Quan didn't stay here for long, he left soon and went back to the inn.This action was actually because Liang Quan remembered something. At the mountain temple, this masked man pretended to be a temple priest, not only saw Liang Quan, but also saw Amo.
There may be something odd about it.
When Liang Quan returned to the inn, Taoist Gu was lying on the window sill bored, watching the passers-by pulling the petals.On the tall branches in the courtyard, only the plum blossoms that bloom in the cold have a faint fragrance.
"If you continue to pull it off, the shopkeeper will come to you desperately." After Xia Shan drank the medicine, his whole body became much more energetic, and he leaned on the head of the bed and watched Gu Qingyuan go into hysteria with a funny look.
Gu Qingyuan flattened his mouth, spilled the petals in his hand, and didn't do such childish things anymore, but straightened up and wanted to talk to Xia Shan, but Liang Quan came back before he could speak.
Daoist Gu's eyes lit up, and he said immediately, "Brother, did you encounter anything today?"
He swore that he just said that casually, but he didn't expect the senior brother to nod his head, and then used up all his stock in front of Taoist Gu.
Survival represents the yellow talisman drawn by Taoist Gu in advance. He was stunned to see Liang Quan's extravagant behavior. He even pasted all the twenty or so yellow talismans on the doors and windows!
After Liang Quan finished, he looked at Xiao Taoist Gu seriously, "You are not stable when drawing talismans, ten of them are only half effective, and the rest are only six that are really effective, and the rest are not bad. From now on, ten talismans will be drawn every day. , Progressing layer by layer, don't waste your stubbornness any longer."
It is a shameful thing to be tested by the senior brother on the spot, Taoist Gu blushed slightly and nodded repeatedly.
"Don't go out for the next few days, so you can recover from your injuries. I'll come see you in the afternoon." Liang Quan said lightly, and then went back to his room.
After the little Taoist priest sent Senior Brother Liang away, he stood there wondering, did he forget something?
Xia Shan touched his forehead casually, and muttered, "Is the little Daoist a little stupid?" Didn't he find that Liang Daoist didn't answer his question?
After Liang Quan returned to the house, he didn't do anything like he did in the next room.
The reason why Taoist Gu's talismans are used is because of the reason he just said, and also to give him advice.With the yellow talisman, even if something happens, it can temporarily resist it for a while, and this moment is enough for Liang Quan to go to the rescue.
As for him, there is no difference between having or not.
Liang Quan took the little paper figurine out of his clothes, put it on the table, and said gently, "Can you help me connect with Amo?"
The little paper man nodded seriously, and stretched out his hand to draw a small circle.
As soon as Liang Quan felt that the little paper figurine was connected, it was interrupted with a snap.
The little paper man froze for a moment, then continued to connect it.
Paji broke again.
Connected again.
Liang Quan: "..."
Just after this farce-like process was repeated ten times, Amo's lazy voice came out slowly, "Hey, did the Taoist chief remember me?"
Liang Quan was slightly taken aback, feeling somewhat guilty for some reason.
Unexpectedly, Amo was not entangled in this matter, "Why did the little Taoist seek me?"
Liang Quan didn't think about it, "Amoke still remembers the mountain temple?"
Amo asked back, "The temple wishes?"
Liang Quan's expression softened, "Yes." Amo's reaction was still so sensitive, Liang Quan explained the cause and effect of the matter, and then said, "This matter doesn't look right, it must have been premeditated. It's just for the time being I don’t know if this plan fell on Pindao or on Amo.”
Amo said indifferently, "Maybe there are both."
Liang Quan nodded slowly when he heard the words. If it was true, it could only be said that the other party had plotted a long time ago.
"Amo seems to have guessed?" Liang Quan said.
"So what, so what if you don't have it? Doesn't someone just cut contact with the world and come to the door when something happens?" Amo said angrily.
Liang Quan chuckled, "How is Ah Mo going?"
Amo raised his eyebrows, how could he hear the provocative feeling, "wait for the next time to settle it together."
Liang Quan vaguely knew what Amo might know, but since he didn't mention it, Liang Quan didn't continue to ask.
A few days later, Xia Shan finally recovered, and Taoist Gu also recovered from his typhoid fever, so he began to pester Liang Quan to go to Gaoshi Mountain.
Although the mountain city is said to be at the foot of Gaoshi Mountain, it is actually still some distance away from Gaoshi Mountain, so things need to be prepared in advance.Liang Quan went out to prepare food, but Gu Qingyuan took Xia Shan and sneaked away through the back door.
Xia Shan looked curiously at Xiao Taoist Gu who dragged him out, "Why are you so sneaky, can you just ask Daoist Liang to help you buy something if you want to buy something?"
"No." Taoist Gu shook his head fiercely, "Brother is a vegetarian, so we can't ask him to help buy some meat. Do you want to eat baked buns every day?"
Xia Shan thought about the food along the way, and suddenly shivered, "No."
No matter how delicious the steamed bun is, it will be completely boring after ten days and half a month. God knows why Liang Daochang has a soft spot for this steamed bun.
Gu Xiaotao priest cared for Xia Shan with his childish eyes, then swept the nearby shops, and ran back sneakily.
Although Liang Quan actually arrived before them.
The next day, Liang Quan left the mountain city with Gu Qingyuan and Xia Shan after temporarily handing over the three horses to the inn to take care of and added some money.
There is still a distance between the mountain city and Gaoshi Mountain. It takes about half a day to walk. Liang Quan did not idle along the way, but began to test the homework of Gu Xiaotao. Little Taoist Hou Gu was much more slack than before, Liang Quan pointed out many small problems along the way.
When Gu Qingyuan was criticized, Xia Shan was listening and benefited a lot.
Liang Quan didn't hide his secrets, and occasionally Xia Shan would teach him carefully when he asked questions. In the afternoon, they began to approach Gao Shishan.
According to the legend, Gaoshi Mountain, Tongrong Mountain, and Lu Mountain are all three hundred miles apart, each with its own characteristics.This high mountain has more vegetation and less danger, so Liang Quan brought the two teenagers here.
After all, Gaoshi Mountain is a famous mountain in the rumors. Even if ordinary people feel that it is only one of the Five Sacred Mountains, it actually contains much more aura than the outside world. When Gu Xiaodao just stepped in here, his eyes widened.
"Senior brother—I want to settle down here!" Gu Qingyuan sensed the benefits from certain reactions in his body, and immediately rubbed against Liang Quan with a smile, "It's so comfortable here."
Even Xia Shan, who is usually calm, couldn't help nodding his head in agreement with Gu Xiaodao, "After walking for so long, I should feel tired. But for some reason, I always feel light in my body."
Liang Quan nodded, "Every famous mountain has always been a place rich in aura, and practicing here is indeed more effective." He looked at the happy Taoist Gu, "But it's been here for a long time, and it's hard to get used to it after going out."
From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.
It is impossible for Gu Qingyuan to stay here forever.
Taoist Gu was silent for a quarter of an hour because of Liang Quan's words, and then followed Xia Shan and started to have fun all over the mountains and plains.
Liang Quan originally brought them to see the world, but he didn't restrain them, instead he let the little paper figurines stay with them.The little paper man had a lively personality, and immediately followed Little Taoist Gu and the others to have fun.
Liang Quan only needs to perceive the position of the little paper figurine to know where Gu Qingyuan and the others are.
Gao Shi Mountain is rich in vegetation, because of the aura, there are many tens of feet high trees here, if there is not a road that is barely a mountain road, it would be difficult for them to walk up the mountain.
"Brother-"
Taoist Gu's voice came from afar, with a hint of urgency, but because there was no special reaction from the little paper figurine, Liang Quan was not worried.
When Liang Quan followed the induction, he saw Gu Xiaodao and Xia Shan squatting together under the shade of a tree.
This is a huge palm tree, which cannot be surrounded by more than a dozen people. It should have experienced hundreds of thousands of years of light and shadow.Speaking of grass and trees, they should be the most peaceful. Once they take root, it takes a long time. For grass and trees, a hundred years of life may have just passed their infancy. .
Little Taoist Gu said sadly, "Brother, is it going to die?"
This palm tree was the largest they had ever seen since they went up the mountain, but when they got closer, they realized that the roots of the tree had been drilled out long ago, and many roots were withered.It can be clearly seen that it is a withered tree root, and its branches are heavily bearing fruits, which are full and thick.
Liang Quan stood behind them, "This tree tried to transform into a form, but after failing, it scattered all the essence and merged into the fruits. These fruits are a great supplement to you."
Taoist Gu put aside the inexplicable sadness immediately, and happily climbed up to pick the fruit.
Xia Shan looked at Gu Qingyuan's nimble posture quite speechlessly, "Daoist Liang, aren't you going to save it?"
There is a stark contrast between Xiao Taoist Gu's sadness just now and his joy now.
"This is fate. If you can't survive the transformation, you will fall naturally." Liang Quan said calmly, "These fruits will also fall into the soil after the season, and the aura will return to heaven and earth."
This is a cycle.
These cultivators, when the number of their lives is up, the spiritual power contained in them will overflow after death and become part of the heaven and earth.Such a reciprocating cycle can lead to prosperity.
Little Taoist Gu happily picked up a pocket and came back, then carefully divided it into three parts, and piled the rest in front of Liang Quan and Xia Shan.
Xia Shan pointed at himself suspiciously, "Me too?"
Gu Qingyuan nodded naturally, "Those who see it have a share, these are also useful to you, eating to strengthen your body, there is no harm."
Xia Shan glanced at Liang Quan and saw that Liang Quan had no objection, so he happily accepted it.
When night fell, Gu Qingyuan wisely found a relatively clean place to make a fire, and then he and Xia Shan hurriedly leaned against the fire to keep warm.
They have been walking around during the day, and they don't feel the cold, but once they stop, their bodies can't bear it.
Xia Shan looked enviously at Liang Quan who was standing far away by the water source, "Daoist Liang is really amazing, he is not cold until now."
Gu Xiao Taoist shrugged and fiddled with the fire with a branch to make the branches below burn, "Senior brother is just that powerful."
Gaoshi Mountain is the source of the water. They could vaguely hear the sound of gurgling water at the place they walked, and finally Liang Quan chose to rest here.
He went to the water's edge and fetched two bamboo tubes of water, and then he came back and handed it to Taoist Gu to cook something.
Liang Quan was fully aware of Taoist Gu's desire to cook meat.
Gu Qingyuan looked at his senior brother and laughed a few times, and quickly built another fire next door, trying to avoid senior brother Liang, and rubbed his palms with Xia Shan to wait for the meat to eat.
Liang Quan took out a big steamed bun from the bundle, quickly roasted it on the fire, and then took a bite.
Liang Quan's love for steamed buns may have to be traced back to when he was very young, so young that he hadn't recovered his memory, hadn't met Amo, and didn't even know that he had a voice.
When Xiao Liangquan was a child, he lived in the remote Sanguan Temple with the old Taoist couple, and it was very troublesome to go down the mountain.
Every time the old Taoist went up the mountain with Xiaoliangquan and the other hand, he bought it for a month.Anyway, there were only two of us, and it was easy to find a grass and tree elf to help us when we went up the mountain occasionally to be lazy.
This old way is good in every way, but there is one thing that is really scum.
He can't cook.
It doesn't matter if the veteran doesn't know how to cook, the food he makes is often so unpalatable that even piglets won't eat it.
With such cooking skills, Xiao Liangquan regarded eating as a difficult task in life, until later when he went down the mountain, the old man accidentally forgot Liang Quan at the door of the steamed stuffed bun shop.
The proprietress looked at Xiao Liangquan with distress, and took out two big steamed buns from the freshly baked stove and stuffed them to Liang Quan, which immediately shocked Xiao Liangquan into heaven!
There are such delicious things in this world!
After the proprietress found out, she scolded the old Taoist who hurried back to find the little apprentice, and forced him to take Xiao Liangquan to have a decent meal. After the old Taoist confessed his mistake, he saved Xiao Liangquan Liang Quan slipped into the abyss of taste.
The old man learned from the pain and decided to buy big steamed buns every month to go back.
It just happens to be so easy to do without cooking, which is simply wonderful.
Big steamed buns became Xiao Liangquan's favorite food when he was young, and this preference has not changed until today.
Liang Quan is nostalgic, whether it is a person or a thing.
After Liang Quan finished eating the big steamed buns, he called Daoist Gu and Xia Shan to rest and sleep deep in the mountains. There must be no one left to watch the night. Liang Quan planned to be in charge of the night watch, but it didn't mean that the two young boys could go to play freely.
Night is far more dangerous than day.
Daoist Gu Xiao and Xia Shan agreed, and then took out another cotton coat from their respective bags, covered their bodies and nestled down to rest.
With Liang Quan around, the two of them slept very peacefully, and just buried their heads in the cotton padded clothes and fell asleep with a snort.
Liang Quan frowned, closed his eyes and meditated.
The night in Gaoshi Mountain is very quiet, only the rustling wind and falling snowflakes sound very peaceful.The mountains are densely forested, and it is difficult for the moonlight to fall through the leaves. Within a radius of ten miles, there is only the light reflected by these two piles of flames.
pat-
This is the sound of dancing flames.
The voice seemed ordinary, but Liang Quan opened his eyes, reflecting the quiet scene at the moment.
Daoist Gu Xiao and Xia Shan leaned close to each other, with their heads leaning against their heads, most of their bodies were buried in the cotton-padded clothes, and the flames danced by their sides, looking very warm.
There was no difference, but Liang Quan did not continue to meditate and rest.
The flame seemed to be a little small, Liang Quan reached out and took the firewood that Gu Qingyuan had prepared and threw it into the two piles of bonfires, and continued to maintain the heat of the bonfires.
The flame swayed enchantingly twice, and the fire became even stronger.
Liang Quan tilted his head and thought for a while, then suddenly took out the bamboo tube from his side, and sprinkled half of the water on the fire.
Although there was less water, the firewood that had just been put down had not yet burned. According to common sense, it would be difficult for these dead branches to burn after being soaked, so the flame should be smaller.
But the fire got bigger instead.
Liang Quan frowned, and said softly, "Which expert is here?"
Gao Shishan is full of vegetation, and it is very difficult to produce a fire spirit from it, and this place is not a crater.Excluding the natural reasons, it can only be that someone followed.
The surrounding environment seemed to be silent for a moment, and then soft footsteps sounded.
If the footsteps didn't come from the unknown, Liang Quan actually liked the sound of stepping on the snow, the creaking and the unique coldness of winter.
A middle-aged man with a crossbow on his back appeared in front of Liang Quan.
He has a stern look, with a scar on his left cheek, a mole on the base of his ear, and a Chinese character face. He looks upright.Wearing bulging clothes, he looked at Liang Quan with doubts.
"Where are you from?"
Liang Quan said, "Traveling."
What Liang Quan answered was not what the middle-aged man wanted, but after Liang Quan answered, the naked eye could see that the middle-aged man was relieved.
Liang Quan put his hands on his knees, and he didn't move away because of the approach of the middle-aged man, "You and Pindao don't have the same purpose, so you don't need to scare us."
The middle-aged man was overwhelmed by the truth, but he didn't feel embarrassed. He glanced at the bonfire, "Why should I trust you?"
Liang Quan said in a low voice, "The poor don't need your trust."
The middle-aged man was about to say more, but when Liang Quan raised his hand, a flash of inspiration flashed out, and the small sword shot out suddenly, and the clothes pinning the back of the middle-aged man's neck quickly fell back.
When the middle-aged man came back to his senses, he no longer knew where he appeared in the deep mountains.
He settled down and tried to mobilize the aura he had attached to the campfire just now, but found that it was useless at all.The middle-aged man spat hard and showed his big teeth, "I don't believe that someone went up to Gaoshi Mountain just for sightseeing!"
This time is too close!
……
Daoist Gu Xiao and Xia Shan slept until dawn, and when the sun first came up, Gu Qingyuan woke up with a jolt. As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt comfortable all over his body, as if he had been washed.
He was wondering when he heard Liang Quan's words, "Go wash up."
Little Taoist Gu raised his hand to touch his face, rubbed the mud off his face, and immediately ran towards the stream.Xia Shan was startled awake by Gu Qingyuan's actions, and after rubbing his eyes, he also realized the tragedy, and immediately jumped into the water too.
Playing in the water in winter sounds like a good picture, but unfortunately the freezing water temperature made Gu Xiaodao and Xia Shan shivering and rushed back, relying on the remaining bonfire to continue their lives.
When Gu Qingyuan stopped trembling, he realized that the spiritual power in his body had more than doubled, but the flow was very smooth without any discomfort.
"The fruit you ate yesterday is good for your body. It will be a little faster for the first time." It won't happen in the future.
I don't know that the fruit of the palm tree was produced by its thousands of years of practice. Naturally, it has magical effects, but it will also slowly disappear.
Taoist Gu nodded happily, and then followed Xia Shan to clean up yesterday's wreckage.
"Brother, shall we continue?" Both of them were eager to try, they were very excited about what they had gained yesterday and what they had done this morning.
Liang Quan did not answer immediately, but told them what happened last night, and finally asked, "Do you want to continue?"
Daoist Gu and Xia Shan looked at each other, then Gu Qingyuan cleared his throat and said first, "Brother, I want to continue walking."
They have only entered the mountain for a day, so there is no reason to leave now.
Right now Liang Quan is leading them on a walk, if they dare not continue to go deeper under such circumstances, wouldn't it be worse than this when they separate in the future? !
Xia Shan said, "I don't know whether this person is an enemy or a friend, but he can't surrender without a fight. If he is frightened like this, he will not dare to move forward."
Liang Quan nodded. It was within his expectation that the two did not lose their fighting spirit because of this matter.
Little Taoist Gu was worried that Liang Quan would let them leave, so he packed everything up very thoughtfully and covered up the traces they left behind, so he looked at Liang Quan anxiously.
Liang Quan smiled helplessly, let them choose the way up the mountain, and led them away from the place where they stayed overnight.
Half a day later, different people came towards Gaoshi Mountain, some were wrapped in dark black clothes, or monks with kind and serious faces, Taoist priests of different schools, etc., all aimed at Gaoshi Mountain.
At this moment, Liang Quan, who was leading Daoist Gu and Xia Shan, moved slightly, looking at the two people who were walking happily ahead, he noticed the ups and downs on the mountain.
Someone is coming, and more than one.
Liang Quan recalled Gao Shishan's records, unless there are some treasures in the world, otherwise there shouldn't be so many people coming... Liang Quan vaguely sensed that there were many high-level people coming.
Liang Quan wasn't worried. If something happened, he could protect the two and leave.And such a sudden thing, if you really encounter it, it will be a test.
Two days later, they met a road-crazy Taoist who was alone
This Taoist couldn't even tell the difference between east, west and north. When Xia Shan found him, he was still walking down the mountain, but judging from what he said, he clearly planned to go up the mountain.
This level of confusion and obsession made Xiao Taoist Gu amazed, "If you hadn't met us, wouldn't you have gone all the way down the mountain in vain?"
Daoist Lu Chi smiled and waved his hands, "Sanqing is on top, so the poor Taoist has met a fellow Taoist?"
Little Taoist Gu pursed his lips, and then shook his head, "What are you going to do up the mountain? There's nothing to see about this high mountain, it's all grass and trees." It's been a few days since they entered the mountain, and they still have surprises, but they also have a general idea of Gao Shishan's situation. up.
Taoist Lu Chi readily spread his hands, "Didn't you come here only after receiving the invitation?"
He came only after receiving an invitation from the exchange meeting.
The exchange meeting, as the name suggests, is a meeting to exchange Lingbao, Lingcao and other things held at regular times and at fixed times, and those who are capable of holding it are all experts.
The organizer of this exchange meeting is the Abbot, the abbot of Lingbao Temple.
Lingbao Temple lives in seclusion in the mountains, but Liang Quan has also heard its name. The disciples of his temple take killing demons and demons as their mission, and they often hear rumors when they walk.
As the abbot and abbot of Lingbao Temple, he is naturally capable of holding a Lingbao exchange meeting.
Like Liang Quan's little paper figurine and little sword, they are actually a kind of Lingbao.
Gu Qingyuan looked back at Liang Quan, Liang Quan strolled forward, "Salvation of Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Pindao didn't receive the invitation, he just took his junior for a trip to the mountains, never expected to meet this kind of thing."
Daoist Lu Chi has a handsome face. Although he is sometimes confused, he still knows the general idea. He immediately pressed Gu Qingyuan's shoulder and said with a smile, "It is fate to meet each other. Fellow Daoists bring them to travel, why don't we go to see and see together?" , is not a bad thing."
When Liang Quan heard the words, he also responded generously to the matter.
The venue for the conference is on Mount Gaoshi, and only those with invitations can find the venue.
A few days later, Liang Quan and others followed Lu Chi Taoist through the precipitous line of sky, took a long detour, passed through the barrier before the start of the conference, and entered the venue where the conference was held.
Liang Quan clearly felt that they had to pass through a barrier before they could see the scene in front of them. Pavilions, terraces and lofts suddenly appeared on Gaoshi Mountain. downtown.
Taoist Lu Chi shrugged, "It's all an illusion to support the scene."
Liang Quan smiled lightly. To be able to say it so bluntly, this idiot is really an interesting person.
