Chapter 372 Patriarch Qiongyang (Supplementary Chapter)
“Becoming an Immortal after a military solution?” Chen Shi was stunned.
Hongjie is one of the corpse-jie immortals, and it is also a form-escape technique. There are many ways to dismantle a corpse. First, refine weapons such as swords, staffs, bamboos, etc., to form your own body. When your life span is exhausted, you can use this body to deceive the evil spirits, and your true body can be free.
Back then, my grandfather held his own funeral and used a method of suspended animation, which was a form of autopsy.
If you choose to fight with soldiers, you need to use divine weapons to kill yourself, give up your physical body and cultivate ghosts and immortals, and finally combine your soul with the Tao. This method ignores the physical body and only seeks to unite the soul with the Tao.
The Water and Fire Refining Technique is a method of refining with water and fire, retaining the physical body, which is very different from the military solution.
“If the soul is in harmony with the Tao, there may be no possibility of evil transformation.” Chen Shi said heartily.
But he then thought that in order for Yuanshen to unite with the Tao, he also needed to use the realm of the void. Without the original star map to calculate the correct position of the stars in the sky, he would not be able to truly unite with the Tao, and he was afraid that evil would still occur.
Hence, did these founders of Taihua Qinggong really become immortals after defeating the enemy?
If they become ghosts and immortals, will there be any evil changes?
Qingyang said: "We have dug the graves of almost all the masters. Among the empty graves are the fourth-generation master Guangxian, the seventh-generation master Daocheng, the sixteenth-generation master Jingxu, and the seventy-eighth-generation master Dancheng. Your grandfather suspects that they have become ghosts and immortals, have become Taoists, and will live forever in the world."
He paused and said, "I have eaten their grave grass. It was bland and had a bad taste."
Chen Shi was stunned: "Can you tell whether an empty tomb is empty from the grass on the grave?"
Qingyang said: "Probably yes. Just now I gnawed the grass on the graves of many masters, and found that the grass on the grave of the master who was almost killed by your grandfather was also a little bland... Black pot, isn't it a bit bland?"
Black pot He stood up and said with a serious face: "Wow!"
Chen Shi blinked his eyes and said, "Could it be that this headmaster also dissected his corpse and became a ghost immortal?"
Ching Yang said: "We'll find out if we dig it up."
He said excitedly: "I have a few Luoyang shovels hidden in the Qingyang Palace, and they probably haven't been found. Black pot, help me look out!"
Black Pot nodded hurriedly.
A Taoist man came and guided Chen Shi to arrange a guest room to rest. Chen Shi asked: "Junior brother, is Yu Lingzi on the mountain?"
The young Taoist said: "Senior brother Yu Lingzi's temperament changed drastically after he came back from Xijing. When he competed with several senior brothers from Taihua Qing Palace, he broke their fingers and was punished by the master. Now he is in the Demon Suppressing Cave."
Chen Shi said: "Where is the Demon Suppression Cave?"
The young Taoist pointed to a mountain peak not far away: "It's on Wenxu Peak. That's where the demonic aura is billowing from the cave entrance."
Chen Shi looked at Wenxu Peak and saw that the mountain peak was glowing with elegance under the sunlight, but there was a faint demonic aura overflowing from the mountain.
"Yu Lingzi is a Taoist priest in my heavenly court. If he has been imprisoned in Wenxufeng, wouldn't it be a delay for him?"
Chen Shi left his residence and went to Qingyang Palace to find Qingyang. He planned to ask him to intercede for Yu Lingzi and let the little Taoist out. However, he saw that the Taihua Qing Palace was busy, and the Taoists were busy preparing for the celebration to welcome the Immortal Sword back to the palace.
The green sheep has big red flowers hanging around its neck and sits on a high altar like a mascot, with a look of despair on its face.
He was surrounded by Taoists and people from the countryside, offering cattle, horses and animals as sacrifices to the green sheep.
Some of the sacrifices were simply sheep, making bleating sounds.
It is still just a rehearsal. To truly welcome the Immortal Sword back to the palace, we need to invite masters from the imperial court and other holy places to come and witness, which will be even more lively.
Chen Shi saw this and did not approach. At this time, a soft voice came from beside him: "Are you...Chen Shi?"
Chen Shi turned around and saw that the speaker was a beautiful woman. She seems to be only about 20 years old, with skin as smooth as gel, bright eyes and white teeth. She is not wearing a Taoist robe, but a gauze-like goose-yellow skirt that hangs from her shoulders to her ankles. Her arms are exposed, and a silk ribbon is wrapped around her armpits and floating behind her head.
She has a fairy-like aura about her, which is ethereal and bright, and her eyes are shining with light. I don’t know whether it is reflecting the sunlight or the brilliance of the eyes being too bright.
Chen Shi nodded slightly and smiled: "I am Chen Shi. Who are you, girl?"
The beautiful woman looked him up and down and said with a smile: "You have grown up. When I first saw you, you were lying in the coffin...like, more and more like your grandfather when he was young. I am Qiong Yang. Was it you who sent back the Qingyang Patriarch and the Zhenwu Evil Killing Sword?"
Chen Shi said: "It's me. But Uncle Qingyang is here to stay for a few days, and he doesn't plan to stay for a long time. Miss Qiongyang, you..."
He suddenly remembered something, looked at this beautiful woman blankly, and said. : "You, are you the Patriarch of Qiongyang?"
The beautiful woman couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "Why are you so surprised? Your grandfather mentioned me to you? When you were in trouble, your grandfather came to look for me and asked me to rescue you."
Chen Shi couldn't believe that the woman in front of him was Patriarch Qiongyang who had a relationship with his grandfather Chen Yin. He originally thought that Patriarch Qiongyang was already old, an old woman or an old Taoist nun, but he didn't expect that he would turn out to be a fairy-like figure.
Chen Shi said honestly: "Grandpa never said anything about the Patriarch."
Patriarch Qiongyang looked gloomy and said: "Which woman did he mention? Mrs. Lingsu of Tianshi Mansion? Or Li Huazhi of the Li family? Or Zhang Qiaoxi of the Zhang family? Or Hui Yin Shenni? Anyway, it was definitely not Hua Li, she was just She's just a little girl..."
Chen Shi said cautiously: "Grandpa has never mentioned the name of any woman to me."
Patriarch Qiongyang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "It seems that in his eyes, we are still not as important as his Tao. But it's good, so we don't have to compete with them."
With her eyes rolling, she looked at Chen Shi and said, "Fortunately, you are here this time. If it were your father, I might not be able to help but give him a pair of shoes to wear. Humph, I wonder which wild woman I gave birth to!"
"Yu Lingzi? He seems to have been punished to practice in Zhenmo's Cave for breaking the fingers of several senior brothers."
Hence, Patriarch Qiongyang said, "This is a small matter."
She recruited He summoned a Taoist with his hand, took out a jade talisman and said: "Take my decree and go to Wenxufeng to release Yu Lingzi."
Patriarch Qiongyang had a frosty face and sneered: "You can go when I tell you to. What are you talking about? If Changying won't let him go, I will lock him in the Demon Suppressing Cave and send him to reunite with his master!"
Patriarch Qiong Yang looked at Chen Shi, his face softened, and he smiled: "Don't be afraid, I am not usually like this. I am very gentle, and your grandfather knows that."
Chen Shi smiled and said, "I also think Grand Master is a very gentle person."
Taoist Changying rushed over in a hurry and said with a smile: "Uncle Qiongyang, Yu Lingzi came back from Xijing. Because he did not participate in the imperial examination, several senior brothers said something about him and he got angry and broke his fingers..."
Qiongyang said: "I have been detained for so long, which is considered a reflection."
Taoist Changying said: "He broke all the ten fingers of my disciples. And his uncle Ai went to break up the fight, but he also held his fingers. If he hadn't been better than him, I'm afraid he would have broken them too."
Qiong Yang said: "It must have been Taoist Ai who pointed his finger at him, so he grabbed his finger. This is not to persuade a fight, but to reprimand."
Taoist Changying will say more, Qiong Yang The Patriarch's face turned cold: "If you continue to be nagging, I want you to go down and accompany your master!"
Taoist Changying quickly said to the Taoist on the side: "Why don't you go and let him go?"
The Taoist quickly said yes.
Patriarch Qiong Yang called the Taoist and said: "Go to the master to complain, and you will be punished by spending a day in the Demon Suppressing Cave!"
The man looked pale and left in a hurry.
Taoist Chang Ying Qiong Yang glanced at Taoist Chang Ying and said in surprise: "Master, why are you still here? You go and do your work, Chen Shi and I will go around."
Taoist Chang Ying said, "Uncle Master, please don't embarrass Chen Shi. Chen Shi has done a great favor to my master by sending back his immortal sword. I ordered him to go down. Let the Taoist priests on the mountain no longer say that the Chen family are all demons..."
Patriarch Qiongyang smiled and said: "How could I embarrass him? When Xiao Shi died, I personally went to the underworld to save him. Go down, you have nothing to do here."
Taoist Changying breathed a sigh of relief and then left.
Patriarch Qiong Yang said to Chen Shi, "Don't misunderstand me. I am usually gentle. The master is not afraid of me."
Chen Shi hesitated for a moment, feeling that his judgment just now might be a little wrong.
"I usually live at Qingluan Peak. When your grandfather and I were Taoist companions, we changed the name of Qingluan Peak to Hongluan Peak."
An auspicious cloud grew out of the soles of Patriarch Qiongyang's feet, carrying him and Black Pot, and walked towards Qingluan Peak. Thinking of the past, he looked fondly on his face and said with a smile, "Those were really crazy years. The Taoist nuns and priests on the mountain made irresponsible remarks. Even my master couldn't help but persuade me to restrain myself. I choked him and said, what we cultivate is Immortal, what you seek is Taoism, why do you have to be ruthless and devoid of desire? He didn’t say anything. Later, when your grandfather left, I changed my name to Qingluan Peak.”
There is a Qing Palace on the mountain, called Qing Luan Palace, which also houses a bronze statue of Qing Yang.
I think this place should have been called Hongluan Palace back then.
There are women everywhere in Qingluan Palace, and they don’t wear Taoist robes. They have good looks and graceful and light postures, which dazzles people.
Chen Shi felt the influence of the Corpse God Peng 𫏋 on him, and quickly calmed down, curiously asking: "Has Patriarch Qiong Yang saved me before?"
Principal Qiong Yang said with a smile: "How could I bear not to go when your grandfather begged you? I thought that after he left Taihua Qing Palace, I and I He is a person from two different worlds, and we will never meet again. I didn’t expect that he would come back to beg me for you. When I saw him again, I thought I had forgotten my feelings, but I didn’t expect that when I looked back, he was still there. Many monastic women in Qingluan Palace frequently looked at Chen Shi and were very curious about him.
Patriarch Qiongyang reprimanded them: "Go away. I haven't been hurt enough? You are still trying to provoke the men of the Chen family. You think he is beautiful, but he is actually too carefree! Xiao Shi, I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about your grandfather!"
Chen Shi has long been used to it.
Master Qiongyang drove them away and asked Chen Yindu about his daily life in the last few years. The questions were very detailed. He laughed and sighed for a long time.
"If grandpa hadn't saved me, he wouldn't have left so early." Chen Shi felt a little sad.
Patriarch Qiongyang sighed: "He is old, and so am I. Maybe in the future, I will go down to accompany him, so that no one will argue with me. Alas, practicing Taoism all your life is to seek immortality, but you can't live forever. Maybe I was braver back then, left everything and left Taihua Qinggong with your grandfather. Maybe I will be your biological grandmother."
She felt a little sad when she said this.
The way has not been accomplished, and the love has been lost.
Looking back, there is only sadness.
She is only good at beauty now. She looks young, but in fact she is already very old and has only a few years to live.
Chen Shi thought of Mrs. Lingsu and hesitated for a moment, but did not tell her about Mrs. Lingsu's death.
"Ancestor, who was the previous headmaster of Taoist Changying?" Chen Shi asked.
Patriarch Qiong Yang said: "It's Senior Brother Jinghong. He is a few years older than me and passed away a few years ago. Back then, he was almost beaten to death by your grandfather."
"It turns out that he is the headmaster who was almost made by my grandfather!" Chen Shi suddenly understood.
Chen Shi hesitated for a moment, and then told Qingyang's discussion about the grass on the grave mound, and said: "Uncle Qingyang suspects that the headmaster of Jinghong may have turned his corpse into an immortal and is still alive."
Patriarch Qiongyang’s eyes lit up and he said with a smile: “When your grandfather and I dug the grave of our ancestor, we did find several empty coffins!”
Chen Shi stared at her dumbfounded. Patriarch Qiongyang was a little stunned, with a slightly red face, and defended: "Who can't live without Meng Lang when he was young? At that time, I was particularly fond of Meng Lang, and your grandfather was very bad, so I followed him to do this." He threatened him with something, so Qingyang joined us. We dug up all the graves of the ancestors... I still have two Luoyang shovels here, which I have trained into soldiers. You can use them later, and we will dig up Jinghong's grave. "
Chen Shi was startled and said quickly: "Master, how dare this disciple do this? And I have made an appointment with Uncle Qingyang to do it tonight..."
Patriarch Qiong Yang stood up, walked into the side hall, took out two shining golden Luoyang shovels, put one of them into his hand, and said with a smile: "The green sheep is now being offered as a mascot, and it won't be able to get away for several days! We won't wait for him!"
Chen Shi put the Luoyang shovel into the small temple, his heart pounding wildly.
Patriarch Qiong Yang took him out, and then Yu Lingzi's voice came from outside: "Disciple Yu Lingzi, thank the Patriarch for mercy!"
Patriarch Qiong Yang walked out of Qingluan In the palace, Yu Lingzi was standing outside. When he saw Chen Shi, he was surprised and happy: "King Chen Zhen!"
Patriarch Qiong Yang had a fiery temperament. He glanced at him and said, "Yu Lingzi, please come with me too. You can catch up on the old days on the way."
Yu Lingzi was surprised and happy, thinking: "The ancestor promoted me!"
He hurriedly followed the two of them and whispered: "Uncle Master, where are we going?"
Chen Shi said: "Go dig the grave of Jinghong, the headmaster."
Yu Lingzi shuddered, his face turned earthy, and he wanted to go back to the Demon Suppressing Cave.
"Yu Lingzi and Heiguo will be released later, and Xiao Shi and I will dig the grave!" Patriarch Qiong Yang said.
Yu Lingzi secretly complained: "I just broke off the fingers of a few senior brothers, and I have never thought about betraying the sect..."
They soon arrived at the restricted area of Taihua Qing Palace and entered the cemetery. Hei Guo patted Yu Lingzi on the shoulder and motioned for him to follow him and be smarter.
Yu Lingzi looked at the wind with it with a sad face.
Chen Shi and Qiongyang Patriarch wielded the Luoyang shovel, moving the shovel like the wind.
"I dug it wrong, it's not this one, this is my master's grave."
The voice of Patriarch Qiongyang came, "Master, I'm sorry for you...it should be the one next to it."
After a while, the coffin of Master Jinghong was opened.
It was empty except for a Taoist robe.
