Chapter 241
The picture in the video stayed in front of the hall for about half a minute.

Compared with other Taoist temples that have been beautified and repaired, this Thousand Hearts Temple hidden in the mountains of northern Guangdong is quite simple, and the hall or main hall has long been dilapidated and mottled under the erosion of the years.

The main body of the main hall is relatively intact, at least there is no collapse.

The main entrance was missing, and a layer of mud had accumulated on the ground inside the house, all of which had been accumulated when the wind and rain drenched it.

Weeds are overgrown in the main hall, but because there is no sunlight, the weeds in the hall are sparser than those in the yard, and it looks like someone has taken care of it here.

Afterwards, the elder brother from Journey in the Woods slowly walked into the hall.

The interior of the house was illuminated by the light of the headlamp, and the travel notes in the forest were filmed in the main hall.

There are many statues in this hall, but most of them have been eroded and cannot be seen.

The painted plastic on the surface fell off, and even the facial features and shapes could not be seen clearly.

On the contrary, the curled up figure looks clearer.

Dust and soil stains are everywhere in the hall, including the statues.

It was dark, gray and utterly dilapidated.

Zong Ze narrowed his eyes and watched the video seriously.

The old man from Journey in the Woods stopped talking after he entered the main hall.

He could only faintly hear his heavy breathing.

He walked around the hall, where almost everything was covered with a thin layer of soil.

Nothing of value can be seen from the video footage.

Speaking of which, the side room on the left side is more problematic. After entering the side room on the left side, Journey to the Woods cut off the video.

Today, the hall looks unremarkable.

The old man from Journey in the Woods stayed in the main hall for a few minutes before walking out of the Taoist temple.

The third video also came to an abrupt end here, without any further content.

Zong Ze silently closed the video frame, with a thoughtful look on his face.

If there is nothing weird about this Thousand Hearts Temple, he absolutely does not believe it.

The old man in Journey in the Woods must have seen something weird, otherwise he would not have edited out the process of exploring the side room on the left for no reason, and even the subsequent shooting of the main hall seemed a bit rushed and sloppy.

Thinking of this, Zong Ze couldn't help but frowned, which also strengthened his determination to take Mo Ke tonight in the dead of night.

He picked up his phone again, found the WeChat account of Journey in the Forest, and sent two messages there.

"Hi brother, I have finished watching the video you sent."

"May I ask why you edited the exploration video of the side room on the left?"

After sending, he put the phone aside with the screen on and waited for a reply.

But this time, Zong Ze waited for several minutes and did not see the other party reply. You must know that this old man replied online in seconds before.

Just when Zong Ze was thinking about whether to hang up a voice message, Journey in the Woods finally replied.

"Because I photographed some strange things in the room on the left side."

"Personally, I didn't like it very much, so I edited it out."

The reply from Journey in the Woods was frank, which also confirmed Zong Ze's guess.

However, what he said was rather vague, and he was obviously unwilling to discuss this topic in depth.

But Zong Ze will not let it go, it is good to ask more information from those who have experienced it now.

So he backhanded and replied in the form of a question.

"Strange power?"

"Can you describe the situation?"

"Or is the footage of the video still there?"

Facing Zong Ze's questioning, the elder brother Lin Jian You Ji was once again in a tangle.

It was three or four minutes before he replied again.

"Nothing."

"Look at the scenery, there is nothing to study about those strange things."

"It's time for me to rest, let's talk when I have time."

"Didn't the relevant departments hold a press conference this morning?"

"There is some kind of mysterious energy in this world. Maybe the strange powers and gods I saw have something to do with that so-called mysterious energy..."

Zong Ze was thoughtful when he saw his words.

"It's too early for you to rest."

"Then I won't disturb you."

He replied simply, no longer asking and delving into it.

Looking at it like this, if he continues to break the casserole and ask the end, the old man Journey in the Woods will definitely block him directly.

Sure enough, after this reply, the other party never responded again.

Zong Ze casually clicked on his circle of friends, and found that the other party had set it to be visible for three days.

"This old man has a story!"

He muttered to himself, looking at it like this, the old man of Journey in the Woods must have seen something terrible.

It was so terrible that he didn't want to recall it, and he didn't even want to mention it to others again.

Zong Ze shook his head and put down his phone, opened the browser of the computer, and was going to check some news about northern Guangdong, Hakka, and Qianxin Temple on the Internet

……

At the same time, in a commercial housing complex in Haizhu City, Guangdong Province.

The blogger Journey in the Woods is sitting in the study, looking at the folders in the computer and lost in memories.

He wears plain long-sleeved underwear, and his study is filled with photos of his rides and travels.

Just as Zong Ze guessed, the old man of Journey in the Woods is indeed a cycling enthusiast. He likes to travel in mountains and rivers, and explore those hidden mountain villages.

However, in the past two years, due to his previous experience in Qianxin Temple in the mountains of northern Guangdong and the decline in his physical strength as he grew older, he has not set out for a long time to ride.

Today he logged into his own media account as usual.

Seeing the one left by Zong Ze in the private message message in the background, it brought back his memories.

After a while, he came back to his senses, with a wry smile on his face.

Shaking his head, he exclaimed mockingly.

"Wang Ping, Wang Ping, you used to be determined to travel all over the Xia Kingdom."

"But a small Taoist temple scares you!"

"Since that young man is interested in the Thousand Hearts View, let me sort out the information!"

Wang Ping is the name of Journey in the Forest, and Zong Ze's appearance made him overcome some demons, and he suddenly made up his mind to retrace his memories.

Thinking of this, Wang Ping picked up his phone and edited a message for Zong Ze.

"I just figured it out."

"I will immediately sort out the material that was recorded at the beginning, and find the unedited material and send it to you."

"However, I still don't recommend that you delve into it, let it continue to be dusty in the deep mountains and old forests!"

After Wang Ping finished sending the message, he turned off his phone and put it aside.

He opened the drawer and took out a palm-sized wooden sculpture from it.

The image of this woodcarving is obviously the curled up villain of the same style as the Zongze pendant.

I saw Wang Ping holding it in his palm, rubbing the wood carving with his two fingers.

Then he put it back in place, pushed the drawer back up, took a deep breath, and started operating on the computer with concentration.

……

On the other side, Zong Ze's home in Qihai City.

Zong Ze, who was sitting in front of the computer in the study, had just entered the keyword of Qianxin Temple in northern Guangdong on the browser, and before he pressed the space to confirm the search, the phone on the desktop vibrated a few times.

He turned on the screen and looked, and found that the travel notes in the forest that he said he was going to take a rest had replied again.

After seeing his reply, a smile appeared on Zong Ze's face.

Sent the word "thank you" casually.

To be honest, it is not very important whether Journey in the Forest provides follow-up information.

After Zong Ze mastered the address, he could go back to the past by himself and go to Qianxin Temple to investigate in person.

His only concern is that the situation there will not be destroyed after a few years have passed.

That's why the video of the travel notes in the forest is needed for comparison and reference.

Perhaps with the intrusion of Travels in the Forest back then, everything has changed.

After replying, his attention was on the screen again.

After typing the blank space, the interface changes accordingly, and the search results begin to display.

"Ancient Hakka Thousand Hearts View..."

"Gannan County Chronicle records that the following year floods caused disasters, and Qianxin Temple rescued the victims..."

"Northern Fujian Museum, Ancient Taoist Robe of Thousand Hearts Temple..."

……

Not to mention, Zong Ze actually found a lot of records about the Thousand Hearts Temple through the keyword search.

In fact, the Thousand Hearts Temple is far more than one place, and it is not only developed in northern Guangdong.

There are records of the Thousand Hearts Temple in the Hakka circles in the mountainous areas of northern Fujian, northern Guangdong, and southern Jiangxi.

Moreover, some ancient books have a more positive description of the Thousand Hearts Temple. It seems that when the Thousand Hearts Temple was active, it did a lot of good deeds to help the people.

This has shaken Zongze's previous thought that the concept of thousand hearts is crooked.

But if the Taoist in black robe really inherited the orthodoxy of Thousand Hearts, what he did was extremely evil!

Zong Ze patiently opened each web page, and carefully checked it.

After half an hour, he came to some conclusions.

First of all, the orthodox lineage of the Thousand Hearts Temple appeared about 500 years ago, and the founder of Kaiguan was called the Thousand Hearts Taoist.

Zong Ze saw a portrait on the Internet, it looked like a Taoist with a fluttering white beard, and he looked like a fairy.

At its peak, Qianxin Taoist Temple had dozens of Taoist temples in the entire Hakka cultural circle.

Including northern Guangdong, northern Fujian, western Jiangxi, southern Jiangxi and other regions are distributed.

But in modern times, the Taoism of Thousand Hearts has gradually declined. It is rumored that a disciple went astray and studied magic.

That disciple claims to be able to see into the hearts of thousands of living beings.

The nickname is the Taoist priest in the palm of his hand.

These circumstances come from an anecdote.

Zong Ze suspects that there are many fabricated elements in it.

Because in those county records, Zongze did not see any similar records.

But this search also proved that the Taoism of Qianxinguan is not that kind of unknown existence.

It just has strong regional characteristics, and it only spreads Taoism in the Hakka cultural circle.

It also once experienced its heyday and opened up a lot of views.

Zong Ze believes that Taoist Qianxin Taoist, the patriarch of Qianxinguan Taoism, should be a Hakka, so he is obsessed with promoting his orthodoxy within the Hakka cultural circle.

Of course, the above is just Zong Ze's guess, and the specifics still need some research.

Judging from some county chronicles, the word-of-mouth of Thousand Heart Temple is still good, and it meets the standard of righteousness.

In its heyday, whenever there was a disaster year, the Taoist priests of Qianxin Temple would help the victims.

Moreover, the Taoists of Thousand Hearts Temple are proficient in medical skills and herb collection.

He is also very good at curing diseases and saving lives.

No matter what age, a doctor who cures the disease and saves the life is worthy of respect.

What's more, the Taoists of Qianxin Temple do not charge fees at all, and the treatment is completely compulsory.

Therefore, the reputation of Thousand Hearts Temple in the records is not bad.

This makes the story about the blackening of the disciples credible.

There is no lack of similar situations in the orthodoxy in history.

For example, an outstanding disciple of a certain generation found a different path, practiced some kind of evil skill, and since then defected from the mountain gate and established his own family.

Perhaps the first few years of Qianxin Temple were the right way, until the leader among the disciples of the younger generation suddenly turned black.

As a result, the tendency of orthodoxy has also changed, from a well-known orthodox way to an evil way.

Later, due to the reasons of heaven and earth and inheritance, the Thousand Hearts Temple gradually declined and went into ruin.

This is the result Zong Ze speculated based on all the information. It is for reference only. He is not sure whether it is true. After all, only those who have experienced it are qualified to tell the truth.

After consulting the information, he clicked on the picture of the Taoist robe of Qianxin Temple in the Fujian North Museum.

The Taoist robe of Qianxinguan is an ordinary blue Taoist robe, which is in line with Lin Kang's memory of the black robe Taoist.

So there must be unknown tricks in it.

This is not over yet, he took a picture of the pendant villain with his mobile phone, and synced it to the computer using WeChat.

Then save the picture and start searching directly on the computer browser.

This time the image search has apparently hit a snag.

After many times of identification, no valid corresponding picture was found.

This shows that the curled up villain is an unpopular image.

Perhaps the kind of erudite knowledge of the past and the present, scholars who have studied ancient county annals and orthodox culture in various places may not necessarily be able to recognize it.

But he didn't know such a person.

Even the most ancient book collectors who know the city are only superficial.

It must be the kind of scholar who has studied for decades to know the answer.

Such scholars are basically living dictionaries.

However, the Taoism of Qianxinguan is too small, and it is difficult to find scholars who study this field.

Maybe some clues can be found in the archives and museums of those counties and cities in the Hakka cultural circle.

There is nothing Zongze can do about it for the time being!

He cleared his browsing history and saved pictures, as well as his history cache.

Then closed the browser and WeChat.

After all, this is Lao Zong's computer. He hopes that his parents can stay in Qihai City to practice in peace of mind for a period of time in the future, and take it over after he establishes a sect and builds a good cave.

He doesn't want his parents out of the ordinary life of the masses any time soon.

So he decided to clean up the traces so that Lao Zong would not notice.

After doing all this, Zong Ze stretched himself.

He got up and went outside, and found that Lao Yan, Lao Zong and A Ke were both sitting cross-legged on the floor of the living room.

Lao Zong and Lao Yan sat together, and A Ke sat in front of them.

When Zong Ze walked out, Lao Zong and Lao Yan had already closed their eyes.

A Ke held the book of [Ask the Question], and hummed the key to getting started with refining qi in a chanting tone.

The living room was very quiet, and Zongze couldn't help slowing down his footsteps.

Compared with the automatic cultivation in "Written Immortals", Zong Ze thinks this is the most serious cultivation!
