Longevity starts from Liaozhai

Chapter 204 Please God
The name of the temple is Yuchen, and the name of the mountain is Qinghua.

It is September in September, and it belongs to the third autumn, when the water is exhausted and the cold pool is clear, the smoke is condensed and the mountains are purple at dusk.

A few scholars with extraordinary bearing walked together and walked along the mountain road.

Purple smoke rose from the depths of the peaks.

One of the scholars in Tsing Yi was poorly dressed and slovenly, in stark contrast to the rest of the scholars who were dressed in luxurious clothes.

"Brothers, I don't know how far we are going to Taiyi Peak?"

"Prince Bin, don't worry. Among the peaks ahead, the one that is unique is Taiyi Peak." The scholar who spoke was dressed luxuriously, with a refined and noble temperament between his brows.

His surname is Cui, and his given name is Du. He is from the same Qinghe County as the man who was interrogating, but they are from different counties.But he had heard of the other party's name, and remembered that he was a swordsman in a neighboring county. He met him on the road, and knew that the other party came to Chang'an to try his luck and seek fame, so he took it with him.

But that's all he knew about the man with the word "Bin Wang".

Following along the way, I found that this man was behaving strangely.

Facing them, these aristocratic families, they are quite unrestrained.

Cui Du is open-minded, and since he is from Qinghe County, he doesn't care too much.Others can't see it.

"Brother Ma has been a civil servant anyway, so you should be knowledgeable, don't you even know Taiyi Peak?" A scholar surnamed Liu ridiculed.

Taiyi Peak in Qinghua Mountain was named after worshiping the God Taiyi in the Han Dynasty.During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, metaphysics flourished, Taoism developed rapidly, and sacrifices to ancient gods declined.I don't know when a Taoist temple was built on Taiyi Peak.

Because the mountain road was really difficult to walk, the world was in chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and the Taoist priests went down the mountain.

It has been abandoned for ten years.

Cui Du didn't want everyone to quarrel, "It's the first time King Bin came to Chang'an, so it's normal not to recognize the famous Taiyi Peak. What's more, the mountain road in the second half of Taiyi Peak was blocked by a mountain flood many years ago. I heard that even the Taoist temple in the mountain The incense has been cut off for ten years. Let's get together and visit Taiyi Peak, don't quarrel, and lose interest."

The scholar surnamed Liu muttered, "Who told him to never pay for food and drink along the way, and even boasted that he has the talent to help the world."

"This peak looks very close, but if we want to climb to the top, I'm afraid we will have to go tomorrow." The young man surnamed Ma didn't care what other people said, and said to himself.

"King Bin doesn't know, but there is an inn on the mountainside. When we arrive, we can take a rest and see if the mountain road behind is difficult to walk." Cui Du explained.

"Brother Ma is afraid that there are ghosts in the mountains, so he dare not walk at night." The others pressed their swords and laughed.

Autumn is already very beautiful.

As a group of people move forward, mountain springs can be seen everywhere, and waterfalls can be heard from time to time.This mountain road is easy to walk, and there are endless sights for everyone to visit. After a while, they arrived at the mountainside inn that Cui Du said.

This is the end of twilight, the end of night.

The inn is built on the platform on the mountainside, and it is also a restaurant, built with thatched buildings.The form is rather archaic.The young man surnamed Ma stopped outside for a moment, with a hesitant expression on his face.Then he went in.

When everyone entered the inn, a waiter came up to greet them.

They ordered clear spring wine from the mountains, seasonal game and vegetables, cut a few catties of mutton, and served a fat chicken.

Cui Du praised, "I didn't expect the restaurant in the mountains to produce these foods. Chang'an seems to be returning to its former prosperity."

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there was great chaos, the population of the world was declining, and a lot of waste was waiting for prosperity.

Three months ago, the Xuanwu Gate changed, Emperor Zhenguan came to power, and summoned talents from all over the world, so there were countless scholars who went to and from Chang'an.Make this thousand-year-old capital rejuvenate.

Everyone drank and ate meat, getting drunk.

Looking at it from a distance, the purple aura of the Taoist temple in the depths of Taiyi Peak is getting stronger and stronger.

Today there is a bright moon shining brightly on the earth.

Although it is night, it is not much worse than daytime.

"Brother Ma, the purple energy in that Taoist temple is soaring, could it be that the gods in the temple are showing holiness. Brother Ma, why don't you go and invite the gods in the temple to have a drink here, and then the gods will not be able to show you a clear way, lest you end up in Chang'an , and there is nowhere to go." The scholar named Liu laughed loudly.

The crowd followed suit.

"Mr. Yunye, the ancient man, loves dragons. I'm afraid that I, Ma Zhou, invited gods to come here, but everyone will be frightened and blame me instead." Ma Zhou looked around at everyone.

"If Brother Ma really has this ability, we will definitely not blame him."

"I don't have any money anyway, when the time comes..."

"Please ask the gods to drink it, and I will never forget it."

Seeing that Ma Zhou was really going to ask the gods, everyone started coaxing him even more.

They were drunk, seeing the purple air in the mountains, they didn't know how strong it was.I just want to see Ma Zhou make a fool of himself.

So Ma Zhou went out, but he was nowhere to be seen in an instant.

And Cui Du also chased him out.

On the mountain road, the moonlight is bright and clear, and the figures are clear.

"Brother Ma, I'll go with you." Cui Du rushed over.

Ma Zhou smiled and said, "I know Brother Cui will come out with me."

"We are all from Qinghe County, how can I see you walking the mountain road alone at night, what if something happens?"

Ma Zhou shook his head, "Brother Cui doesn't know something. It's safe for us to come out. It's dangerous to stay here. It's not too late. Let's go ask the gods, otherwise the lives of those brothers will not be saved."

Cui Du was surprised: "How do you talk about this?"

"It's too late to explain this matter, let's go to the Taoist temple in front. The purple energy in the temple is rising, even if there is no god to manifest, there must be a different person. Please help him, so that the catastrophe can be averted."

It turned out that Ma Zhou once met an old man and taught him the skill of face reading.Before he came to the store, he observed carefully and found nothing unusual.I think this inn should be fine.But when they were drinking just now, they noticed that everyone's faces were dark, and they felt strange in their hearts.

This is the face of catastrophe.

He saw the purple air rising in the Taoist temple, and he thought that the disaster could be solved. The only way to go to the Taoist temple is to invite the gods and talents.

He went on the road with Cui Du, and saw that the blackness on Cui Du's face had reduced a lot, but it didn't disappear completely, and he knew it was because the people in the store had borne most of the disaster.

When they were robbed, Cui Du and he might not be spared.

Although these people laughed at him, there was a lot of food and drink along the way, so Ma Zhou would not leave them and run away.

Originally, the mountain road was blocked and it was very difficult to walk.

But the moonlight was shining brightly, paving a path like a white gauze.

Ma Zhou and Cui Du walked on it, like stepping on soft white clouds, without feeling slippery and steep.Soon arrived at the Taoist temple in front.

The words "Yuchen Daojun" hang high on the plaque of Guanmen, under the moonlight, it is old and mottled.

Arriving at Guannei Hall, it is even more desolate everywhere, with cobwebs knotted in disorder.

The statue bears an ancient sword, flowing with the vicissitudes of time.

The statue on the shrine is the image of a young Taoist, dressed in black, with a lot of holes in the roof, leaking all the moonlight, and shining on the shrine, you can see a picture of Taiji covered by dust under the statue.

Cui Du carefully looked at the Taoist temple.

Ma Zhou looked around and saw no aura of other strangers. He turned around and looked at the mountainside. The black air was thick and there seemed to be blood.My heart tightened, so I strode to the shrine, bowed to the statue,
"Mr. Dao, there are few Taoists in the mountains. I invite you to drink in the world."

　Thanks to Donglai Xue for the reward of 5000 coins, and thanks for the lonely reward of controlling the mind and the years of scientists.
