Chapter 371 Grandpa Digging a Grave
"Is this Taoist Chang Ying the headmaster who was almost made by my grandfather?" Chen Shi looked at Taoist Chang Ying and thought to himself.
Taoist Changying seemed to be a middle-aged man, but the Taoist sect has the art of eternity, which can keep people young forever. He looked no more than thirty or forty years old when he died, so he was not sure about Taoist Changying's age.
The Taoists who followed the leader, Taoist Master Changying, were dumbfounded. They came with anger. They thought there would be a bloody battle to conquer the demons and defend the Tao. They did not expect that the one who insulted the ancestor's grave would be the legendary Qingyang Patriarch.
"Who is the Patriarch Qingyang?" Some young Taoists whispered to each other and asked.
Someone who knew this story said, "It was the Qingyang Patriarch who was kidnapped and the former headmaster changed the name of Taihua Qingyang Palace to Taihua Qingyang Palace in a rage."
This matter is considered a secret in Taihua Qing Palace, and the elders of the master's sect keep it secret, because they heard that it also involves the reputation of one or more female ancestors. After deliberately concealing it, the younger generation basically does not know the story.
Taoist Chang Ying was respectful and said with a smile: "Master, it's windy here and I'm still not feeling well. Please go back to the palace with the younger generation."
Qingyang said lazily: "I ate too much grass just now and I haven't digested my food yet. Let's take a rest before leaving. Don't rush me."
Taoist Chang Ying said with an apologetic smile: "Don't rush, don't rush."
He stood there, motionless, waiting quietly.
Qingyang lay on the grave for a moment, glanced at him, stood up and said: "That's all, you guys stay here, I wonder if I can sleep well. Let's go."
Taoist Changying was overjoyed, and was about to let everyone support the founder back to the palace, when he saw the ancestor Qingyang came to the wooden cart, put the reins on himself, and actually planned to use a bicycle to pull the cart to Taihua Qinggong.
Qingyang snorted and said: "They say they are quiet and do nothing, but you cows have all kinds of rules and are very annoying. Xiao Shi, Hei Guo, get in the car."
"Shua!"
Dozens of flying swords were placed on the necks of Chen Shi and Hei Guo.
"Uncle Yang, think twice!" Chen Shi said hurriedly.
The black pot nodded repeatedly.
Qingyang had no choice but to take off the reins and complained: "I'm annoyed that you clearly call me Patriarch, but you don't care about this or that. I'm used to free clouds and wild cranes, and I'm used to being free. When I stay in Qingyang Palace, I'm being managed by you every day, even the grass on the grave... Let's go, what are you doing in a daze?"
Taoist Changying wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead, clouds formed on the soles of his feet, and led the way.
However, the art of flying with clouds on the soles of the feet is called cloud-skimming, which is much more difficult than flying with a sword. Many Taoist disciples don't know how to do it yet, so they have to fly first with a sword. Only many uncles and uncles are left.
Chen Shi is very good at the cloud-skimming technique. The wooden cart generates cloud energy by itself, and the black pot also follows the crowd by stepping on the cloud energy.
Many Taoists looked at them one after another, secretly surprised.
"Is it Chen Zhuangyuan?" an old Taoist asked with a kind face.
Chen Shi was quite happy and said with a smile: "It's the junior."
The old Taoist's face turned cold and said: "The Qingyang Palace has not washed away the sins your grandfather made back then! How dare you come to my Taihua Qingyang Palace! Okay, how many heads do you have?"
Chen Shi smiled and said: "There is only one junior. But I am an official of the imperial court and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy."
The old Taoist snorted and did not continue to embarrass him.
Chen Shixiang asked: "Senior, how come the ancestors of Qingyang Palace are buried here? It is remote and has no restrictions. The mountains are not clear and the water is not beautiful. It is obviously not a geomantic treasure. Moreover, these ancestors' tombs look very simple. What are the identities of the ancestors of Qingyang Palace? How can they be buried so easily?"
The old Taoist sneered and said: "Our ancestors of all generations were buried generously, so why dig the grave for your grandfather?" He said this, but also felt that he was going too far, and said: "We cultivators do not pursue external things. The founder of the sect once said that if you cannot become an immortal during your lifetime, why should you give a generous burial after death? Therefore, when you die, you always order a thin coffin to be buried in the soil, which can also nourish the soil."
Chen Shi was respectful and said: "The ancestors of the past generations have lofty realms, and their Taoist minds are clean and unobstructed."
The old Taoist smiled and said: "Some of them are because they want to practice corpse decomposition, lest they be buried in a thick burial and people will miss the treasure in the grave. People will ruin the corpse and not become an immortal."
Chen Shi's eyes lit up and he asked: "So, has any of the ancestors become corpse-disciplining immortals?"
The old Taoist said: "There was it before, but then it was lost for some reason."
Chen Shi said sincerely: "No wonder everyone attaches so much importance to the Water and Fire Refining Technique."
When we arrived at Taihua Qinggong, we saw many palaces with white walls and green tiles, hidden in the mountains, well-proportioned, with a little more human fireworks in the green.
There are mountain roads connecting these palaces, like silk threads wearing pearls, connecting the palaces together.
The mountain gate is halfway up the mountain. Many people living nearby pass through the mountain gate and climb up the mountain in an endless stream, probably to burn incense.
Chen Shi looked at Yin and Yang and had already seen that this place was extraordinary. Many of the plants, trees, birds and beasts in Taihua Mountain have long been enlightened by incense and have become extremely powerful beings, hiding in the mountains. However, their spirits and appearances are very huge. On many mountains, there are giants that can be compared to refining gods and returning to the void, guarding the mountains and rivers.
There are also some alien cultivators who transform into human forms and hide among the Taoists in Taihua Qing Palace. They are no different from ordinary people, but occasionally alien spirits appear in the void above their heads, including lions, tigers, and strange beasts, as well as cicadas, centipedes, poisonous snakes and other insects.
Their spirits are lost in a flash. Even Chen Shi has to observe carefully to see clearly.
This scene is invisible to the naked eye and can only be seen with the open eye. In the eyes of ordinary people, everything is normal.
Seeing his shocked expression, the old Taoist felt quite proud and said with a smile: "Have you seen the background of my Taihua Qing Palace?"
Chen Shi nodded solemnly and looked at the mountains in the distance. He saw that the mountains around Taihua Mountain were often pitch black, without a single plant.
These mountain peaks are in dilapidated condition, some have broken tops, some have a hole in the middle, some have been inserted upside down on the ground by someone unknown, and some of the mountains are riddled with holes as if they have been eaten by insects.
There is no breath of life in these places.
"Where is that place?" Chen Shi asked.
"Eighty-eight Demonic Peaks."
With a look of admiration on his face, the old Taoist said, "This is the place where the eighteen founders of my sect subdued the demons! The eighteen ancestors wiped out the demon gods entrenched on the eighty-eight demon peaks here, and held up a sky for the people of the Ming Dynasty to thrive."
Chen Shi nodded lightly, admiring these eighteen founders of the sect very much.
In those hot-blooded years, the human race had no place to stand in Xiniu New Continent where evil spirits and demon gods were everywhere. It was these Qi Refiners who bravely fought against evil spirits and demon gods that made Xiniu New Continent what it is today.
Taoist Changying and others invited Qingyang into Qingyang Palace. There was a bronze sculpture of Qingyang outside Qingyang Palace, and there was an incense burner in front of it, and the incense was not cut off.
Qingyang had been away from this place for a long time. When he returned to his old place, he felt quite emotional and said, "I foolishly stayed here for more than three thousand years. Xiao Shi, thank you for your grandpa's coming, otherwise I would still be regarded as a mascot and placed here!"
All the Taoists glared at Chen Shi one after another.
Chen Shi smiled slightly and didn't take it seriously.
Taoist Chang Ying smiled and said: "The Patriarch will definitely not leave when he comes back this time, right?"
Qingyang shook his head and said: "I am accompanying Xiao Shilai this time, not to return to Qingyang Palace. Moreover, I am dead and have become an evil spirit. Staying in the palace is also a source of pollution, so as not to harm you."
Taoist Changying said quickly: "Master, why do disciples dislike the master? If the master is willing to come back, we will make incense offerings to him day and night so that the evil spirit in the founder of Dingjiao will not break out, and he will become a god who protects Taihua and will be admired by all generations!"
Qingyang was quite moved when he heard this.
The latest chapter of this novel has been released for the first time, please go and read it!
He stayed in a small mountain village in Qianyang Mountain with limited incense. Although he was at ease, the evil spirit in his body was increasing day by day. If you can still suppress it now, if things go on like this, there will be a day when you can't suppress it.
After returning to Qingyang Palace, his incense has continued, and the possibility of becoming evil is much lower. And you can also borrow the breath of incense to take yourself a step further, and maybe you can return to the peak state of your life.
Taoist Changying saw his move and quickly added: "There is enough straw for the grave!"
Qing Yang hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll stay here for a few days."
Taoist Changying was overjoyed.
Taihua Qingyang Palace's feelings for Qingyang are incomparable with other spirits in the mountains.
The eighteen ancestors brought not many things from the Chinese Continent, and the strange beasts among them were the ancestors of Qingyang, two green sheep, one male and one female. In Taoism, Qingyang means vitality and pure Yang, symbolizing longevity and representing the immortal way. Therefore, the founder of the sect named the Taoist gate after Qingyang Palace.
Qingyang is the descendant of those two Qingyangs. He has a long lifespan. When he becomes an adult, he is powerful and stronger than the ordinary leader. Therefore, even if the leader of Taihua Qingyang Palace dies and a new leader is not established, there will never be chaos in Taihua Qingyang Palace.
Furthermore, Qingyang is extremely knowledgeable. There is no need to worry about losing the various techniques of Qingyang Palace. If they are lost, just ask him and you can learn them. Moreover, many sect leaders grew up watching him and had extremely deep feelings for him, so Qingyang became the symbol of Taihua Qingyang Palace.
This is also the reason why the previous headmaster found out that Qingyang was abducted by Chen Yindu. He was furious and couldn't beat him again and again. He was so angry that he removed the word "sheep" from the name of this Taoist holy land.
Qingyang asked: "Changying, where is your master." He was talking about the previous headmaster.
Qingyang was silent for a moment and said, "That's the reason."
Taoist Changying was puzzled.
Qingyang said: "I used to live very happily in Qingyang Palace, watching you grow up generation after generation, watching you grow from an ignorant little Taoist priest to the most powerful master. I took good care of you very carefully and treated you as my children. Later, you died one after another."
He stroked his bronze statue, lost his mind, and said: "I have trained generations of sect masters, sent away generations of sect masters, watched generations of disciples grow, and watched them gradually grow old and die. When each of you dies, I'm in pain, just like I lost my child. I can't forget your laughter and laughter around me. But you know, I can't find any way to let you live. I can only bear the feeling of losing one generation after another..."
Taoist Changying was silent.
Qingyang said: "Later Chen Yindu came, and he went to Taihua Qingyang Palace. He was an apprentice in martial arts, but his understanding was too high, so he became a disciple of your ancestor. This man has a very flexible mind. In the second month after he came to Taihua Qingyang Palace, he felt that all the Qingyang Palace's techniques were nothing more than this. So. I looked at him and thought he was very interesting, different from you. When I went to eat grass on the ancestor's grave in the forbidden area, I saw him sneaking up with a Luoyang shovel, preparing to dig the ancestor's grave. "
Chen Shi coughed repeatedly when he heard this.
…I chatted with him a lot and found that he had too many fantastic ideas. He not only planned to dig the ancestor's grave to see if the ancestor had hidden any secrets of immortality, but also planned to find the lost secrets of the True King era. So I dug many ancestors' graves with him. "
When Qingyang said this, Taoist Changying looked extremely embarrassed and coughed repeatedly.
Qingyang continued: "...So, when he said he was leaving Qingyang Palace, I decided to leave everything behind and go with him to find the lost secrets of the True King era. Only by following this person can I find a way to keep you little Taoist priests from dying, and I don't have to watch generation after generation. "My descendants left me."
Taoist Chang Ying choked and said, "If Master knew this, he would not have blamed himself so much before his death. He always felt that he had done something wrong."
"It's not his fault, it's not his fault." Qingyang patted him on the shoulder.
Taoist Changying wiped away his tears and laughed at himself: "The Patriarch laughed at me, but I still can't stop being attached to things and emotions."
Qingyang smiled and said: "I can't do it, let alone you? Xiao Shi, tell Changying the purpose of your trip." He briefly talked about the matter, skipping the grievances between him and the ghost clan in the underworld, and said: "Taoist Tianzhen was the Shaohuo Taoist boy who founded the Qingyang Palace, but he cultivated to a semi-immortal body, so he almost died under the Zhenwu Evil Killing Sword. Now he wants to return I hope you can go to Qingyang Palace to welcome him back. "
Having said this, Chen Shi took out the Zhenwu Evil Slaying Sword and said, "This sword is the sword that killed Taoist Tianzhen back then. Taoist Tianzhen asked me to send this sword back to Taipei. Huashan."
Taoist Changying was moved and hurriedly led all the Taoists to bow down, saying: "Welcome the Zhenjiao Immortal Artifact back to the mountain!"
They did not worship Chen Shi, but the Zhenwu Zhuxie Sword.
It is said that this sword was the evil-killing sword made by Emperor Zhenwu before his ascension. After his ascension, the sword was left in the human world and enshrined on Mount Taihua. Later, Xiniu Xinzhou was discovered, and eighteen Taoists brought this sword to Xinzhou to slay evil spirits and eliminate demons, and achieved great military exploits.
Chen Shi held up the Zhenwu Evil-killing Sword with both hands. Taoist Changying came forward respectfully, took the sword with both hands, bowed his body, took small steps, entered the Qingyang Palace, and enshrined the sword on the altar.
Chen Chen settled something on his mind, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "If there is nothing else, I will leave. When Qingyang Palace plans to take back the body of Taoist Tianzhen, please let me know and I can guide you. Everyone, go ahead." Taoist Chang Ying thanked him again and again and said, "Chen Zhuangyuan must not leave in a hurry. Your Excellency has done a great favor to me, Qingyang Palace, by returning this sword. Please keep it for a few days, so that we can show our friendship as landlords."
Chen Shi thought for a while, agreed, and quietly asked Qingyang: "Did my grandfather and you really dig the graves of the ancestors of the past generations?"
Qingyang nodded and whispered: "Yes. There were also several empty graves dug out. There were no people inside, some only had clothes, and some only had swords."
Chen Shi was stunned.
"Someone has become an immortal after being defeated by soldiers." Qingyang said.
