I'm just an ordinary Taoist priest

Chapter 277 Moon Lake

Jing Yin fell into a state similar to a vegetative state, with extremely weak reactions to external stimuli, and could feel her spirit active, but could not wake up.

Gu Yao tried a few times, but it didn't work. Only Die'er could guide Jing Yin's energy in her body with Buddhist exercises, and make her body make corresponding movements.

Seeing that Gu Yao was also helpless, Princess Changle smiled softly: "I have tried a few times, but just like you, I can't do anything. Maybe when the storm calms down, I can ask the real Yangshen to help."

Gu Yao shook his head slightly: "Thank you for the kindness of the princess, Shitai Jingyin and Die Er, please keep the princess secret, and don't let outsiders know."

Chang Le was stunned for a moment and blinked his eyes: "Gu Yao, you and I are old acquaintances, besides, Die Er and I hit it off right away, you can call me Chang Le directly, or my real name, Li Tongyue, don't call me so raw For the princess."

Gu Yao looked at Die Er, and she blinked her eyes as well, her face was written all over. I don't know why we hit it off, so I smiled: "Then Changle, this time it's really thanks to your help. Might as well nag you."

"Don't be so polite. It's not good to stand here all the time. Do you want to go in and sit down? I have already asked the maid to clean up this yard. You can live here forever in Chang'an." Chang Le said generously.

Gu Yao looked at Jingyin: "It's better to go and see the woman rescued by Die'er and the others first. The matter of Jingyin should be resolved as soon as possible. If it doesn't work, I can ask the chief."

"Okay, this way please." Chang Le waved his hand, motioning for Gu Yao to follow, walked out of the yard, took Die'er's arm, walked side by side with Gu Yao, and asked curiously:
"By the way, Gu Yao, why did you let Sister Die'er go to Changle Square and rescue a prostitute?"

Gu Yao looked at Die'er first, saw her shake her head, signaled that she came to the door without saying anything, and then said: "Changlefang hides a secret, but I don't know what it is, I can only be sure it's not a good thing, so I think See if you can help them, but I didn't expect such a big trouble."

"Secret?" Changle lowered his head and stared at the stone steps at the foot: "Changle Square has a history of a hundred years. If there is any secret, it has been discovered long ago. How could it be hidden for so long? If it is really not a good thing, Uncle Huang and the Secretary Let’s start early, are you making a mistake?”

Gu Yao didn't answer, just smiled lightly.

Although Changle has traveled among the people, but obviously limited by the status of the royal family, he thinks too much about many things.

Stopping in front of another courtyard, there are four guards guarding the entrance of the courtyard. Chang Le confessed Gu Yao's identity, and after these guards recognized him, they led him into the courtyard.

There are three houses in this yard, all of which are kitchens.

Changle took Gu Yao to the largest room in the middle: "The room on the left is made of snacks, the one on the right is made of medicinal food, and this is made of ordinary meals. If you need anything, go to your own. It doesn't seem necessary, you Just order the servants directly, there is no need to come in person.”

Pushing open the vermilion door, there was a sound of gobbling and chewing.

Gu Yao stepped across the threshold and was a little stunned.

Two chefs wiped their sweat with towels, and eight kitchen helpers were in full swing. The long table about five feet long and one foot wide was covered with empty plates. The mother-in-law was lying in the middle of the table with a round belly. Lu Baihou, Xiao Hu He and a strange woman were standing at the other end of the table, desperately stuffing things into their stomachs.

"Gululu~" Lu Baihou held a porcelain jar bigger than its head, and poured soup into his mouth. After filling, he put the jar back on the table, spit out a pile of smooth duck bones from his mouth, and beat it. With a full belch, he greeted Gu Yao:

"Little Gu, you're finally here. Come and taste it. I'm so stupid. I thought the food cooked by this hedgehog was delicious, but today I know that the best cooks are in the palace."

"It's because I was narrow-minded in the past, and I will stay here in the future. By the way, that princess, does your royal family still lack any guardians?"

While talking, it noticed that Xiaohu and the strange woman didn't raise their heads, they were concentrating on eating, and the few dishes were in jeopardy. The yellow grilled chicken joined the ranks of grabbing food.

Gu Yao: "."

Looking at the scenery here, Changle's eyelids also twitched twice. Two chefs came to her and bowed weakly: "Princess, they have eaten all the dishes in the house, and the rest are already in the kitchen. Chowder is being cooked in the pot, and the kitchen helpers are exhausted, Cao Min thought."

Chang Le hurriedly helped the two of them up: "You two have worked hard, please go back and rest, Shangyin Palace will send someone to your house, please rest assured."

"Thank you, Lord."

The two chefs hurriedly saluted, and a group of help cooks over there also turned off the fire, hurriedly joined the ranks of saluting and thanking, and then quickly put the remaining miscellaneous soup on the table, and escaped in three steps at a time .

Gu Yao touched Xiyan in his arms: "My friends are vulgar, you will laugh at me."

Chang Le said dryly: "It's okay, it's a blessing to be able to eat."

Two people, two ghosts and one fox stood at the door, watching them finish clearing the table, and the servants took away all the empty plates before walking around and sitting down.

Gu Yao first looked at Lu Baihou. It looked like a big cat that was over-inflated at the moment, and its size was a little swollen: "Master Jing is in this state, do you have anything to say?"

Lu Baihou glanced at Chang Le, grinned, and picked his eyes: Say it in front of her?

Gu Yao glanced at the enthusiastic Chang Le, nodded and shook his head slightly: "What can be said is said, what should be hidden will be said later, borrowing her land, it's not good to hide everything.

Lu Baihou then said: "Didn't I see so many women protecting themselves with incense before? After I broke in, there was nothing on the surface, but I secretly found a dark room in the well over there, and there were countless tablets enshrined in it."

In the well again. Gu Yao squinted his eyes: "The tablets, are those women's tablets?"

Lu Baihou shook his head: "No, there is no name. The tablet is still white. It doesn't look like wood or jade. I don't know what material it is."

"But the more important thing is not the memorial tablet. There is also a strange Buddha statue enshrined there. The Buddha statue clearly looks like a Bodhisattva with compassion, but no matter how you look at it, it reveals a cold and filthy meaning."

"The Buddha statue is holding a white jade bottle in one hand and putting it on the chest, and making a seal with the other hand, like this, with the backhand on the shoulder."

Lu Baihou paused at this point: "Later, I took a closer look and found countless incense sticks extending from that white jade bottle, curling around those female spirits."

"At this time, people from outside were about to chase after them, and the Buddha statue seemed to come alive, and began to absorb the souls of those women. Master Jingyin was too kind, so he opened the Pure Land and forcibly wrapped the souls of those women into the Pure Land, isolating After getting through the incense thread, it was normal at first, and escaped from Changle Fang smoothly."

"But after being chased and killed by a few yin god Taoist priests, running all the way, the state of the teacher's wife is not right, and it will become like this later."

Changle's eyes glowed when he heard it: "There is such a thing in Chang'an, it's too ahem, it's too hateful, women's souls, incense, hateful, there must be a big secret in Changlefang, and it has been hidden for so long."

She reached out and patted Gu Yao: "Gu Yao, don't worry, I will do my best to help you."

Gu Yao: "Lu Baihou, what happened to that woman?"

He pointed to the woman sitting quietly and well-behaved over there, and only now did he take a closer look.

She has a delicate face, not very beautiful, but she is also a small family jade. The main reason is that her temperament is very weak, which can easily arouse a man's desire for protection or tyranny.

She was wearing a long white gauze with some pink accents, and the hairpin on her head was a gold hairpin, which looked expensive.

In addition, her earlobes are also very thick, very "Buddha-like", and her fingers are extraordinarily slender, like white jade.

Looking carefully, she didn't feel that there was anything unusual about her, and she didn't seem to have a cultivation base, but the way she ate just now was also amazing, so she still needs to be careful, Gu Yao reminded herself in her heart, and waited for Lu Baihou to introduce her.

But Lu Baihou put on the look of Xiao Xiong spreading his hands: "I don't know about her, she was brought back by Mrs. Jing Yin after she separated from us when she escaped. She said she was locked in a small dark room in Changlefang, so she was rescued , After arriving here, he didn't say a word, like someone who can't hear and can't speak."

Mute hit alone?Still saved?
Although the teacher is kind, she is not a holy mother. Is it because she was locked in a small black room and thought of Die Er, or saw the woman's "Buddha image", so she saved her?
When Gu Yao looked at the woman, the woman stood up timidly, her voice was as sweet as an oriole: "Everyone, little girl, Yidie, thank you for your help."

This woman's speech is very distinctive, two words in one sentence.

Lu Baihou was suddenly surprised: "You are not dumb, so why didn't you talk to me before?"

Yidie paused again and said: "You are a pet, and I have talked to you, no, it is useful, he is the owner, talking, it works."

Yidie's name is also very similar to Die'er.

Gu Yao subconsciously glanced at Die'er, but found that Die'er's face unexpectedly had a look of repulsion.

Turning to Yidie again: "What is your background? Why were you locked up in Changlefang?"

"Little girl, a peasant girl, was kidnapped and sold to, over there, thanks to Master, save me."

"Where is your home?"

"Chang'an, outside the city, in the mountains, in the countryside, with the moon, by the lake."

Moon Lake?

Chang Le jumped up: "You said your home is in Banyue Lake?"

Yidie didn't speak, just nodded silently.

"My God, Banyue Lake is really not a legend, it's true, I knew it." Chang Le was amazed, seeing the strange expressions of Gu Yao and his group, she hurriedly explained:
"Banyue Lake is a legend in Chang'an. It has been around for a long time. It is so old that many people have forgotten it. It is only recorded in history books."

She walked around the room excitedly: "That's a legend that existed before the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty. According to the rumors, Chang'an was defeated by five fierce gods, wreaking havoc on people's lives, and then there was an immortal like the sun who fought at the same time. Five fierce gods, and drive them into the mountains on the west side."

"The immortal fought fiercely with the fierce god for a whole month, and dug a deep pit in the mountains. He was seriously injured, and finally killed the five fierce gods. The blood of the fierce god and the blood of the immortal merged in the pit, and it was Moon Lake."

"The bones of the five fierce gods were sunk into the lake by the immortal. The immortal felt that he was seriously injured and irreparable, so he turned himself into a silver moon, turned into a seal, sank into the lake, suppressed the bones of the fierce gods, and prevented the ghosts of the fierce gods from causing trouble."

"Later, someone entered there by mistake. On the night of the full moon, another round of silver moon rose from the water of the lake. That person received the inheritance of that immortal, enlightened the Tao overnight, and lived happily in the world ever since."

"After that, countless people wanted to find Banyue Lake, but found that there was no such place in the mountains, and the legend of Banyue Lake gradually disappeared."

Chang Le shook her head as she spoke, Gu Yao thought she had finished speaking, and just about to speak, Chang Le suddenly jumped up and turned around and said:
"However, a hundred years ago, the legend of Banyue Lake appeared again."

"It is said that three meteors flashed across the sky, one pitch-black, one gold-plated, and one snow-silver, one after the other across the night sky of Chang'an, crashing into the mountains, and even caused an earthquake, but on the second day, countless people I went to look for meteors, but no one found them, and then the previous generation of chiefs returned to Chang'an from Lin'an Mansion, and before they passed away, they said that the three meteors fell into Banyue Lake and would never appear in this world again."

A fairy like the sun.

Three shooting stars flew from Lin'an Mansion, black, silver, and gold.

The head of the previous generation was seated.

Gu Yao was shocked when he heard this.

Is the fairy like the sun that invincible person of pure yang who died in Banyue Lake?

But the time is not right.

Could the three meteors be the big devil, the old Taoist and the previous generation of celestial masters from the Starfall Lake War in Lin'an Mansion?
The black one is the escaped demon, the silver one is the golden light curse of the previous generation of celestial masters, and the golden one is the old man's golden light curse.

It was also after Xingluohu that the chief of the previous generation sat down, and it was also at this time that the previous generation of celestial masters became immortals.

"The chief executive of Banyue Lake said that the three meteors will never appear again. Is the golden one the old man?"

Gu Yao clenched his fist silently.

After admiring everyone's expressions for a while, Changle sat down. Just as he sat firmly, Gu Yao said, "Changle, can you let me read the records about Banyue Lake?"

"Of course, but these records are in Uncle Huang's study. I have to find time to go into the palace and tell Uncle Huang. But there will be no accidents. I used to bring those books out to read."

Chang Le readily agreed: "Banyue Lake actually has something to do with me. On the day I was born, it was said that there was a multicolored divine light in the mountains to the west, and it was Banyue Lake that was manifesting spirits."

"I heard that my title, Changle, has something to do with it, but no one told me what it has to do with it." She was troubled again.

Yidie, who had been listening silently for a long time, suddenly interjected coldly: "The story in our village is not quite the same as what you said."

"Five gods, fierce gods, indeed, died in the hands of Chunyang, immortal, but, Chunyang, immortal, left behind, breathed soil, sealed, fierce gods, bones, chic, left, after that, one, wandering, Taoist , come to the village."

"Greed, shameless, seeking, fierce god, evil power, we, ancestors."

"Using, Chunyang, Immortal, Legacy, Beheading, Wandering, Taoist."

"Wandering, Taoist, corpse, incarnation, silver moon, seal, lake bottom."

She paused for a few words, and it sounded a bit troublesome, Gu Yao hurriedly asked: "Can you write?"

Just as Yidie nodded, Gu Yao asked Changle to find a pen, ink, paper and inkstone: "Please write the story of your village on paper, please."

"Especially, the matter of the three meteors."
