Onmyoji's Secret

Chapter 69

The master stroked the beard under his chin, and said leisurely: "It is said that more than 300 years ago, during the great chaos at the end of Ming Dynasty, peasant uprisings swept across the entire land of China. Among them, Zhang Xianzhong, king of Daxi, entered Sichuan and established Daxi Kingdom in Chengdu. He was greedy and easy to kill. , and searched for folk treasures and hid them. Later, when the Qing soldiers entered the customs, Zhang Xianzhong led his troops to fight and died in the battle on Fenghuang Mountain in Xichong. "Shilong vs. Shihu, gold is ten thousand five hundred and fifty, who can see through it and buy the Chengdu mansion!" It is said that the countless treasures hidden by Zhang Xianzhong, as long as someone can break the puzzle, they can get Zhang Xianzhong left behind. There are countless treasures, and the wealth can rival the country."

I was a little dazed, although the story Master told sounds attractive, but what does that Zhang Xianzhong have to do with Qingcheng Secret Realm?

Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Zongbing, could it be?
Master glanced at me, he seemed to see through my thoughts, and continued: "The folk nursery rhyme is indeed true. According to the information handed down by our ancestors in the past, Zhang Xianzhong did hide the treasures he searched for back then. And it is divided into several places, among which some mortal belongings, gold, silver and precious stones are buried at the bottom of the Funan River and on the Xiling Snow Mountain in Chengdu, and some of the gold and silver are said to have been buried in Mount Peng when they left with Zhang Xianzhong. Jiangkou Town was ambushed by the army of the Ming Dynasty. Countless ships full of gold and silver were burned and sank into the river. Of course, those gold and silver treasures are nothing more than ordinary things. When Zhang Xianzhong was the King of Daxi, there were many strange people around him. A Taoist came to him and said that he started in the grass, but only took advantage of the chaos to succeed. The foundation is not solid, so he needs to catch a dragon vein in this land of Bashu, and use the dragon vein to suppress the fate of the country in order to be king for a long time. "

"So Zhang Xianzhong followed the Taoist's advice and searched for dragon veins among the thousands of mountains in the Shu land. Finally, he found a live dragon in the Qingcheng Mountain. Zhang Xianzhong asked the strange people from Bashu to set up a dragon trap in the Qingcheng Mountain. Trapped that dragon vein, and put the remains of its ancestors into the dragon vein, in order to nourish the dragon energy and strengthen the country's fortune, but unfortunately, I didn't know what went wrong back then. Although the dragon vein was trapped, but It didn't work. Daxi Kingdom only existed for two short years, and Zhang Xianzhong died. And the big formation didn't know what happened, but it gradually evolved into a secret realm, maybe because of the existence of dragon veins , the beasts and beasts inside are very easy to become spirits, and there are countless ghosts and ghosts entrenched. Around the secret realm, a large array of fascinated souls and forbidden spirits has been set up, so that the surrounding area is covered with fog, making it difficult for strangers to approach and for ghosts to escape."

When I heard this, a thought flashed in my heart, and I quickly asked my master, "Master, is the patriarch who set up the ecstasy formation back then the Zhao Yuehan whom the Golden Monkey King and the others mentioned? And the green frog that turned into a dragon, is it the same as the patriarch?" There is also a connection."

The master was stunned, and sighed softly: "The patriarch back then was indeed named Zhao Yuehan. He had been in Qingcheng Mountain and spent several years with those monsters. When he came out, he brought a jar and put it in the Hall of Sealing Spirits. , still exists today, if I guess correctly, the things sealed in the jar should be related to the monkey race you mentioned, but I don’t know about the green gnat you mentioned, it may be that the patriarch Zhao Yuehan was there. It’s a pity that the Qingcheng Mountains have encountered such a catastrophe, alas, it took 500 years for the green pheasant to transform into a flood dragon, and it is a pity..."

I also sighed slightly in my heart, thinking of the bleak eyes of the cyan dragon before he died, and the cyan light that flew into my body, I felt a little sad in my heart.

"Master, according to what you said, the Qingcheng Secret Realm is a place derived from the superimposition of the trapped dragon array set up by those people back then and the ecstasy array and forbidden spirit array set up by our ancestors, but why is the time different? I clearly I only stayed inside for half a day, but you have been looking for me for three days outside, this time is completely wrong?" I asked, this problem is the key point, it has troubled me since I first entered the Taoist temple It's been a long time.

Master smiled lightly and said to me: "Didn't you hear what Uncle Qingyun said just now, 'There is only one day in the mountain, but a thousand years in the world', I have told you this story before."

I was taken aback, and glanced at the old Taoist priest Qingyun who was sitting aside, he nodded slightly at me with a smile on his face.I also heard what he said just now, but I didn't pay attention to it. Now that Master mentioned it again, I began to recall the story that Master told me before.

It is said that a long time ago, a young man named Wang Zhi went up the mountain to cut firewood. Under a big tree, he met two boys playing chess. Watching them play chess in front of two boys, one of them threw something like a jujube to Wang Zhi, and Wang Zhi didn’t feel hungry after eating it.When the game was over, a boy smiled and said to the young man, "Your ax is rotten, so don't go back." Wang Zhi woke up with a start, only to find that his ax still on the ground had been rotted at some point. When I returned to the village, I found that thousands of years had passed, the people of the past had gone, and the sea had changed.

Because of this story, people later called chess playing "Ran Ke".One is to lament the passage of time and the changes in personnel, and the other is to explain that immortals are different, and the magic of immortals can change time, one day in the mountains, and thousands of years in the world.

With a little understanding in my heart, I said: "Master, you mean that the Qingcheng Secret Realm has also been casted by spells, and the time is different from the outside world?"

Master smiled and said: "I don't know if someone has cast a spell on it, but there is a big problem with that dragon vein. At the beginning, Zhang Xianzhong wanted to trap that dragon vein to suppress luck, but he died in two years. After that, the dragon vein evolved into a secret land, and some strange changes occurred, and the difference in time speed is one of them. According to the speculation of our ancestors, the dragon vein may be the same as it was in this land at the beginning. It is related to the ancient Shu Kingdom, or it may have been tampered with."

I was startled immediately, my limbs, hands and feet became cold. I didn’t expect that this Qingcheng Secret Realm might also be related to the ancient Shu Kingdom, and when I thought of the ruins of the ancient Shu Kingdom in the Qingcheng Secret Realm and the middle-aged man full of mysteries, I A trace of fear arose in my heart. In my heart, the man who looked down on all living beings and was most likely the ancestor of zombies was quickly juxtaposed with my ancestor Chen Shengzhi. These two men were also full of mysteries. What they did Things that scare me.

"As for the yin soldier general you mentioned, I can probably guess who he is." Master said, interrupting my thinking.

I immediately asked: "Master, what is the identity of that yin soldier general? What is his relationship with the ancestor of our Xuanyuan Palace? He has been helping me in the secret realm."

The master said: "When Zhang Xianzhong trapped the dragon's veins in Qingcheng Mountain, he put his ancestor's body into a dragon's cave, and left an army to guard it. The general who led the army is said to be one of his adopted sons. His name is Zhang Zhengyu! Zhang Zhengyu has a strong personality and is extremely loyal. Even after Zhang Xianzhong was defeated, he still guarded Qingcheng Mountain. , started a big battle with Zhang Zhengyu's army, and later Zhang Zhengyu's army was all killed in battle, but because of some special factors in the Qingcheng Secret Realm, they turned into Yin soldiers and appeared in the world, guarding the dragon cave left by Zhang Xianzhong, And a patriarch of our Xuanyuan Palace seems to have done something in that incident, and formed a good relationship with that Zhang Zhengyu, and he helped you this time, probably because of the karma back then."

I was a little dazed, and I felt great affection for the general of the Yin soldiers. Because of an order Zhang Xianzhong gave them at the beginning, he could lead the army to guard Qingcheng Mountain, even after he died in battle, he would still turn into a Yin soldier to continue guarding. This loyalty and Strong, have to be admired.

At this moment, a pleasant voice suddenly came from outside the door:

"Master!"
