Chapter 205

Of course, the most mysterious and beautiful of the Twelve Peaks of Wushan Mountain is Shennv Peak (Wangxia).This time Xue Chang looked up at the Goddess Peak standing on the bank of the river and plunging into the bottom of the river, but saw the mist and clouds above it, with various postures, and the Goddess was looming in it. Subtle and graceful.

Guo Huaishou came over, looked up for a while, and said, "Brother Xue, the reason why the Wushan Goddess Temple is so popular is not only because of this stone, but also because the sailors and fishermen who come and go can sometimes see the real Goddess." , and get their help."

"A real goddess?" Xue Chang understood what he meant when he heard it: "Brother Guo, are you talking about the Wushan Goddess Palace?"

"That's right." Guo Huaishou said seriously: "Perhaps in the eyes of Bashu martial arts people, the Wushan Goddess Palace is mysterious and lonely, making it inaccessible, but to the crew who often commute to and from this waterway, they are as sacred as life-saving Bodhisattvas. Wushan Goddess Palace has a gate rule, "We must try our best to rescue people who capsized and fell into the water when passing through this river." Therefore, fishermen here can see the disciples of Goddess Palace jump into the river from the bank almost every year to rescue those who fell into the water. The situation of the crew, based on this alone, Goddess Palace is stronger than many sects."

"I think Elder Yan should be the one who saves the most people in the Goddess Palace." Xue Chang looked at him and said jokingly.

"Of course." Guo Huaishou did not hide the admiration on his face: "Elder Yan loves to help others by nature, otherwise he would not take the initiative to ask to be the host of the Goddess Temple, and he will last for 20 years!"

When Xue Chang heard this, he immediately cupped his hands and smiled: "Congratulations, Big Brother Guo, it seems that the hard work of the past few months has not been in vain, and the relationship with Elder Yan is getting better and better!"

"The horoscope has not been written yet, it's still too early." Guo Huaishou seemed a little satisfied, but he didn't want to talk more about this topic, but asked: "However, it is not Elder Yan who has saved the most people in the Goddess Palace in the past two years. Brother Guo, do you know who it is?"

Xue Chang's heart moved, but he shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"Luo Lanmeng, a young disciple of the Goddess Palace, her title of the most beautiful woman in the Bashu martial arts has spread throughout the Bashu martial arts." Guo Huaishou looked at Xue Chang with probing eyes and said, "It's just that she and her None of my masters went to Luoyang with me."

"Oh? Are they not in the team?" Xue Chang pretended to be surprised.

Guo Huaishou said seriously: "Although the goddesses and palace people who set out together this time have changed their appearances, only two of them are middle-aged women. Luo Lanmeng's master, Zhou Wanyao, cannot be disguised as a young girl, and those ten young disciples Among them, there are three who have been surrounding Palace Master Gu, and they should be her three direct disciples, while the attitude of the other seven towards them is like a maidservant facing a lady, and they may be registered disciples, so Luo Nanmeng should not be there. Among them, Zhou Wanyao and Luo Lanmeng didn't participate in such an important martial arts meeting, and they could only use registered disciples to make up for it, does Brother Xue know the reason for this?"

It seems that this Guo Tuozhu not only put all his energy on picking up girls during this period of time, he probably learned some kind of rumors in Wushan Town, and observed that Luo Lanmeng and her mother did not appear in the team In the middle, so I want to test my own tone... Xue Chang caught a glimpse of Han Yeqiu looking here intentionally or unintentionally not far away, and he shook his head like a mirror in his heart, and said: "How can outsiders know what the Goddess Palace is doing? Brother Guo shouldn't Ask me, but you should ask Elder Yan."

Since Guo Huaishou has come to Wushan Town many times in the past few months, he intentionally made friends with the town's garrison for convenience, and found out a piece of news: In October last year, an imperial envoy went to the Goddess Palace. When he left, there were two The disciples of the Goddess Palace are accompanying... Now it is discovered that the two disciples of the Goddess Palace who left with the court envoy are most likely Zhou Wanyao and Luo Lanmeng. The leaders of the Flying Fish Gang attach great importance to this, so they let Guo Huaishou visit The tone of Xue Chang from the Goddess Palace, but Xue Chang avoided answering. With his current status, Guo Huaishou couldn't ask any more questions, so he could only laugh and laugh.

While the people on board were intoxicated by the scenery on both sides of the strait, the two passenger ships went eastward along the river without stopping. It took less than two days to pass Wu Gorge, pass Xiling, and arrive at the eastern exit of the Three Gorges and the important town of Yi in the Jinghu area. Mausoleum, from here to the east is the fertile Jianghan Plain.

After obtaining the consent of Xue Chang and Palace Master Gu, everyone decided to rest here for one night.

After the accommodation was arranged, it was almost dusk when Han Yeqiu came to Xue Chang and said, "Brother Xue, it's the first time for us martial arts people to come to Yiling, there is a place we must visit."

"Brother Han is talking about the Jiangshen Temple in the city, the place where Daxia Ye and the Emperor Taizu met for the first time?" Xue Chang said with interest: "I just heard from the waiter in the shop that I was going to take my apprentices there. Look, you're here."

"That's right, it's Jiangshen Temple. But it's not inside the city, but outside the city." Han Yeqiu said mysteriously.

"Jiangshen Temple outside the city?"

Han Yeqiu said in a low voice with a serious expression: "Actually, the first time the late emperor led his troops out of Sichuan and suffered a disastrous defeat. The Beiman chased them all the way, and there were not many soldiers left with the late emperor. How could it be possible to still sit firmly in Yiling City with Ye Daxia?" We met, he fled to the mountains west of Yiling City and was rescued by Ye Daxia..."

"You mean to say that the statement that 'Emperor Taizu was defeated and retreated to Yiling, went to Jiangshen Temple to pray and meet Ye Daxia' is false?" Xue Chang was taken aback.

"That was just a lie fabricated by the dynasty to cover up the embarrassment of the late emperor. For this reason, the local officials specially built a Jiang Temple in the city. After a long time, everyone took it seriously." Han Yeqiu said Lu sneered, and said, "Fortunately, my father is a member of the Iron-Blooded Changhe Sect. He mentioned this to me since I was a child, and even brought us here to worship..."

"Oh, history is really a little girl who can dress up as she likes—"

"Brother Xue, what did you say?"

"It's nothing, since that's the case, we should take a look and ask Brother Han to lead the way."

"it is good."

Xue Chang brought five disciples with him, Han Yeqiu brought young disciples from the Flying Fish Gang, Guo Huaishou notified the Goddess Palace and asked them if they would like to travel, but Palace Master Gu refused, but Yan Ranling happily followed.

So a group of nearly 20 people hurried out of the west of the city, performed lightness kung fu, crossed the Huangbai River, climbed the hills along the river, ran all the way, and arrived at Xiling Mountain not long after.

"This is the Jiangshen Temple?" Following the direction of Han Yeqiu's finger, Xue Chang felt puzzled. If it weren't for some large and different stones scattered in the grass, he could not believe that there was a ruins of Jiangshen Temple in front of him. There are broken statues, shrines, and altars, not even the remaining broken walls, broken beams, and wooden windows.

"After the officials in Yiling built the Jiangshen Temple in the city, they demolished the Jiangshen Temple. They thought that this would happen. After a long time, no one will know the truth of the year, but there will always be people I remember..." Han Yeqiu said in a deep voice, walked behind a big rock in the weeds, bent down to pull it, and then picked up a black jar with a wide mouth: You see, this jar for worship is still exist. "

Xue Chang, Qian Fuzhi, Guo Huaishou, and Yan Ranling all leaned over curiously, and saw that the moss-covered jar was filled with soil, and there were densely packed sticks of burnt incense candles, some of which had decayed, some of which were rotten. is still new.

"These seem to have been inserted in the past few days." Guo Huaishou pointed to a cluster of unburned incense sticks in the center of the altar mouth, and said.

"I think there must be many martial arts people who are friendly with the Iron Blood Changhe Gate, like us, when they go to the Iron Blood Changhe Gate to pay their respects, they will come here to pay their respects." Han Yeqiu explained without feeling surprised.

Everyone thinks it makes sense.

"Come, come, put in all the incense candles we brought, and everyone will come to worship." Han Yeqiu said, solemnly placed the altar in front of the big rock, and then began to pull out the surrounding weeds. The rest of the Flying Fish Gang Also followed up to help.

"Uncle Han, isn't the tomb of Hero Ye in Luoyang? Who are we going to worship here?" Fan Mastiff asked with some doubts.

Before Han Yeqiu could respond, Guo Huaishou interrupted with a solemn expression, "I asked my adoptive father this question when I first came here, and my adoptive father told me that what we worship is the land under our feet, because It was in this land that the hero Ye Daxia, who was righteous and worried about the people, rescued the talented and generous emperor. After some earnest talks, he made an oath, willing to serve the emperor as the master, and follow him to drive out the northern barbarians and restore the Central Plains! Great Zhou can have Today's prosperity, everything started here, so this is a sacred place, we must never forget it!" Guo Huaishou's words were sonorous and powerful, which shocked the young people of the Flying Fish Gang and the Xiaoyao Sect, and also shocked the young people from the side Yan Ranling's eyes, who were paying attention silently, were shining brightly.

Xue Chang couldn't help but praised: "Well said, history—"

"What's the matter!" Suddenly a voice came, the volume was not loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly.

Everyone present hurriedly looked around, and saw a figure appearing on the mountain road not far from them. He seemed to be walking very slowly, but he reached the ruins in the blink of an eye, allowing everyone to see his appearance clearly.

His long silver hair was not tied into a bun, but was carefully tied with silk thread, and it was draped softly behind his head. There were many wrinkles on his thin face, but his skin was rosy, and his two white eyebrows Underneath the pair of red phoenix eyes are not only not cloudy, but full of radiance. He is wearing a silky pure white embroidered robe without other decorations, but he looks tall and graceful... At first glance, it is impossible to tell his age .

What surprised everyone present, including Xue Chang, was that this person appeared suddenly, and they didn't even realize it. This person's martial arts cultivation is probably not low.
