Stepping on the mud, it was almost noon at this moment, Cao Chong was sweating profusely, looking at Huan Ye in front of him, who was also covered in sweat, his heart had begun to become impatient.
"Uncle, how far is this Taoist temple?"
Huan Ye was also bitter in his heart, originally they came out on horseback, but he thought that the Taoist temple was in front, so he asked everyone to dismount.
But this time, it's been almost an hour Isn't it It's my mistake There are no Taoist temples here at all Just as Huan Ye began to doubt himself, Ryuji screamed.
"Childe, look, is that a Taoist temple?"
Cao Chong was stirred by Long Zhi like this, and suddenly became energetic, and hurriedly ran to the place where Long Zhi was and looked down. moment Cao Chong's face was full of gloom.
This is different from what he imagined, in his mind, even if there is no palace in the Taoist temple, then there should be ancient trees near him, pine and cypress forests, lush bamboos, and green grass And the Taoist temple in front of him, if it weren't for the fact that the shape was different from ordinary houses, Cao Chong would have wondered if it was a Taoist temple at all.
The dilapidated courtyard, overgrown with weeds and fallen leaves on the ground, when you walk in, it is densely covered with cobwebs, and at the base of the wall, you can even see the cracks the thickness of an arm.
This Taoist temple, there must be many people who don't live in it, but there is still a Taoist chief in it Just as Cao Chong was about to walk in, Gao Yi stood in front of Cao Chong.
"Childe wait a minute, and let his subordinates go down to explore the truth" Cao Chong thought for a while, nodded involuntarily, but began to walk around the Taoist temple.
The Taoist temple is not large, but the structure of the Taoist temple in later generations is also available here.
Jin Ge Hongguan Yin Zixu: "Now Shaanzhou Lingbao County Taichu Guan, is the ancient Hangu Pass waiting to see Lao Tzu, the end of the South Sect Holy Palace is Guan Yin's former residence, Zhou Mu Wang repaired its grass building, changed the number of the building view, built Lao Tzu Temple.
The prosperity of Taoism is the ancestor here. ” At the beginning of Taoism, even in the Zhou Dynasty, Taoism existed throughout the ages.
For example, Xu Fu during the Qin Shi Huang period and the Shenjun during the Han Wu Emperor period were all Taoists.
Some people say that among the three major religions in China, Buddhism has the greatest influence, but in fact this is a fallacy, Taoism has a long history, from Taoism, and has influenced the Chinese nation for more than 3,000 years.
In ancient times, there were Qin kings and Han warriors who sought longevity, and Emperor Ming of the Song Dynasty looked forward to feathering Buddhism is also a Tartar Shunzhi Emperor went to Wutai Mountain to become a monk, and whether the story is true or not, the official history has not been recorded.
Therefore, Cao Chong looked at the dilapidated Taoist temple in front of him, and he was still curious.
After turning the Taoist temple around, Gao Yi walked out of it, but he was carrying a black person in his hand.
If you look closely, you can vaguely see that he is wearing a Taoist robe, but because he hasn't changed it for too long, only coarse strips of cloth remain "The official spares his life, the villain is not Zhang Jiao's first-class, I am from Wudou Midao, but Zhang Tian's master and apprentice" During this period, there were two main schools of Taoism, one was the Taiping Dao represented by Zhang Jiao, which was another name for a cult in the eyes of many people because of the reason for leading the Yellow Turban Uprising, and soon disappeared into the long river of history.
The other is the Five Bucket Rice Dao represented by Zhang Daoling, and the Taoism after that is basically the same as the teachings of the Five Bucket Rice Dao.
"Childe, don't listen to this demon's nonsense, just now his subordinates are in his inner room, and they found that he is doing some lewd sacrifice activities, and the smell inside is unpleasant, I don't know how many unjust souls are wandering in it."
"It stinks" Cao Chong did not make a conclusion about this old way because of Gao Yi's words, but lowered his body to look at the old way whose body was shaking like chaff.
"You said that you are not a Taiping Dao demon, but there is evidence" The old man couldn't tell his specific age because of the blackness of his whole body, but listening to his voice, he was at least over half a hundred years old "Official, Lao Dao is indeed a descendant of the Heavenly Master, a righteous man of the Zhengyi Alliance, it is true, and there is no half-truth" The tears of this old Taoist were about to flow out, but Cao Chong shook his head.
"No matter how beautiful you say, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I won't believe it, high team rate" "Subordinate in" "Keep an eye on this old way, I'll wait to get in" "Childe, it really stinks inside, Childe's daughter's body, I'm afraid" "It's okay, lead the way" "Huh" Gao Yi lifted Lao Dao up with one hand, and the other hand was on the handle of the ring head, but his eyes were sharp and abnormal.
Entering the main gate, you can vaguely see the grand occasion of the prosperous period of incense at that time, and in the center of the main hall, is a stone statue of Daode Tianzun {Taishang Laojun} that is close to three meters high.
There was no tribute in front of the stone statue, but there was still a stick of incense, which was slowly smoking.
Gao Yi's footsteps did not stop here, and after turning around, he took Cao Chong and his party to an inner room.
From this place on, Cao Chong began to ask about a foul smell, Long Zhi covered his mouth and nose with some disgust, and Huan Ye ran out directly.
No wonder Gao Yi thinks that this old way is a lewd sacrifice, the smell is too bad It smells bad and smells bad, but Cao Chong has a smile on his face.
The so-called stinky smell is another smell in Cao Chong's nose.
It's not the rancid smell of rotting human flesh, it's the smell of some metal that has been burned, or it's just the smell of it.
Cao Chong did not study chemistry, but he could vaguely discern the smell of mercury from it.
What is mercury, mercury also In the eyes of the so-called alchemists of the Qin and Han dynasties, this is the only main ingredient for refining the elixir. hehe It seems that this old Taoist also has a dream of immortality "Push the door open" "Childe" Gao Yigang wanted to advise Cao Chong, but was glared at by Cao Chong, so he had to obediently go and open the door.
If the smell just now can make Huan Ye flee, the current taste can kill people.
In fact, it is normal to die after staying in this heavy metal environment for a long time Cao Chong covered his nose and opened a fire fold, roughly irradiating the appearance inside.
The interior of the inner room is like a waste collector, cluttered, with all kinds of ores piled up in one corner, and all kinds of strange things placed in the other corner.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is naturally the one-person high alchemy furnace.
At this time, because the furnace is not opened, it looks a little bland.
"Alright, close the door" Gao Yi's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly closed the door, followed behind Cao Chong, and arrived in the Taoist temple.
"What's the name of the Taoist chief?"
The old man thought that he would suffer bad luck, but he didn't expect Cao Chong to ask such a question, and he immediately smiled.
"Villain Zhang Wen, it's not enough to worry about it, please let me go."
Let you go, naturally, this is impossible Cao Chong's eyes rolled, as if he thought of something in his heart, and his face suddenly became hideous.
"Zhang Wen Demon Dao, under the rule of Xu Du, the crime deserves death, and the team rate is high" "Subordinate in" "Rectify the Dharma on the spot to set an example" One moment Zhang Wen was still full of hope, and the next moment he had to rectify the Fa on the spot Zhang Wen was stunned for a few seconds, and immediately let out a scream like killing a pig.
"Official, oh no, son, grandfather, the villain is wronged, the villain is wronged" Zhang Wen hugged Cao Chong's thigh, and Gao Yi had already pulled out the knife "Demon road, let's go on the road":
