Chapter 249 Tianwu Sect

Brother Yushan paused for a moment after saying this.

The three little Taoist priests all showed shock, they naturally knew the allusion of Ge Tianweng and Xietian Wu.

The so-called Ge Xianweng is Ge Hong, a famous Taoist alchemist.

Being enshrined in the Thousand Hearts Temple is adhering to the alchemy.

Ge Hong, named Baopuzi, was a Taoist alchemist in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and later lived in seclusion in Baoshi Mountain.

Some Taoist temples in East China worship Ge Tianweng.

As for Xie Tian Wu, in the allusions, he is a villain. The Xie Tian Wu in the story was once a rich man. Because he coveted Ge Xianweng's panacea, he stole it several times, and finally took the poison by mistake, and became a ghost. Not a ghost guy.

It is said that Xietian Wu likes to sneak into other people's homes in the middle of the night, often killing people for pleasure, and has captured many people and imprisoned them in caves. Anyone captured by Xietian Wu, even if he survives in the end, has already been frightened. Silly.

How could such a big villain be placed in the hall to worship and enjoy the incense of future generations?
But such outrageous things still happened. I don't know which generation of disciples of Qianxin Temple found the cave mound left by Xie Tian Wu in the mountain, and it seems that they got the inheritance of Xie Tian Wu.

After being influenced by Xietian Wu, the so-called Xiewupai was finally developed.

They carved various pendants and woodcarvings based on Xietian Wu's image of curling up and howling in pain when he took the poisonous pill, and then chanted some inexplicable syllables. The item then takes on the properties of an evil, absorbing fear and damage until it becomes a powerful evil.

People who enshrine or raise evil things can also gain certain power from them.

So the Evil School itself still stems from the desire for power.

Especially later, the rules of the world changed drastically, and the aura gradually dried up.

It is becoming more and more difficult to practice the Taoism.

In such a big environment, as long as there is a way, there will always be people who will rush to try it.

After all, the crooked path is a path anyway, it is better than not being able to practice at all and touching the level of strength. The monks of that era were like trapped animals in a cage.

Therefore, it is indeed not ruled out that some Taoist priests with more radical thinking have developed new ideas after coming into contact with the inheritance left by Xietian Wu.

Brother Yushan pondered for a while, and waited until the younger brothers had almost digested the information.

The question-and-answer session began.

"I always thought Xie Tian Wu was just a story..."

"Then the old man, Guanzhu, was killed by Xietian Wu's successor?"

"What's the situation at the foot of the mountain now? Why didn't the Supreme Headmaster issue a decree?"

"Why did the old man, Guanzhu, go down the mountain?"

……

Every little Taoist has many questions in his heart.

Brother Yushan didn't act like an elder this time, but patiently waited for them to finish speaking.

He waited until the little Taoist priests all showed eagerly looking forward to it, and then he said with a sigh.

"You were born at the wrong time..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the little Taoist priests froze.

Brother Yushan didn't care about the little Taoist priests anymore, he continued while shaking his head and sighing.

"When I was young, Guan Nei was not as dilapidated as it is now."

"At that time, this place was also a grand view within a radius of more than a hundred miles. Although it was located in the mountains, the nearby villagers and townspeople would often come to worship, and even some wives and lords in the nearby counties went to the mountains in person."

"At that time, the old man Guanzhu was as old as I am now, and he was in the prime of life."

"In addition to reading, reading, and chanting scriptures, the Taoist priests of our Thousand Heart Temple also had to learn the Thousand Heart Pharmacopoeia and the Thousand Heart Medical Code, so at that time, regular consultations at the temple became a great event and a good deed in the neighborhood."

"Back then, I followed the temple master and met the Supreme Headmaster of the previous generation."

"That's when I realized that Daoxian really exists..."

Brother Yushan was talking, and there was a trace of pursuit and yearning in his eyes.

The stories and situations he told also made the young Taoists temporarily forget the sadness caused by the death of Guanzhu.

"Daoxian..."

This vocabulary seems a bit remote to Taoists of their generation.

In fact, this is Taoism's respectful name for some monks who respect status in the religion.

Taoist Yushan picked up the tea mug, took a big mouthful of tea to moisten his throat, and then continued.

"I heard from the old man, the master of the temple, that the world in the past can be cultivated."

"Our Thousand Heart Taoism, Thousand Heart Pharmacopoeia, and Thousand Heart Medical Code are divided into two parts. What we are studying now is only the first one, which is applicable to ordinary people. The latter Taoist books are all collected by the temple master."

"Just seven or eighty years ago, that is, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, when the Westernization Movement was vigorously carried out, there were very few Taoists in the church, and only some long-lived old lords were still alive, but they were still in a closed state. "

"It was also at that time that Dao Dao brother in a Thousand Hearts Temple in Gan Province traveled to the mountains and forests at the junction of Jiangxi and Fujian provinces, and discovered the cave mound left by Xietian Wu."

"Thus, under the orthodoxy of Qianxinguan, he created the Tianwu School..."

……

At this time, Zong Ze, who was sitting on the big bluestone above and listening with his ears, nodded involuntarily.

"Tianwu faction?"

"It's much more pleasing to the ear than the Xiewupai, or Xietianwu itself."

"However, Tianwu = Tianwu, even though the word 'evil' has been hidden, it still cannot withstand scrutiny!"

Zong Ze commented on his own, Mo Ke did not speak, and always maintained a posture of listening patiently.

The Taoist friend Yushan below is still telling the secrets of the Thousand Hearts Temple to the little Taoist priest beside him.

"When the Tianwu faction first started, it was developed in secret."

"Secretly arrange a shrine to enshrine Xie Tianwu's curled-up villain statue."

"But after waiting for a while, this matter was still discovered by the Supreme Headmaster at that time."

"The head teacher used mysterious means to suppress, and strictly prohibited the spread of Xie Tian Wu's worship."

"But as the saying goes, wild fires are endless, and spring breeze blows and regenerates."

"Over the past few years, the Tianwu faction has not been completely cut off, and has maintained a secretive and secretive development."

"Even though the orthodoxy of Qianxinguan has declined, the Tianwu faction has been dormant and accumulating strength."

"Some time ago, the old man Guanzhu suddenly went down the mountain. Naturally, it was because of Xie Tianwu's affairs. It was only later that he found out that the situation was out of control. The Tianwu faction had accumulated enough power, and even controlled the supreme teacher of this generation."

"Old Master, the old man..."

Brother Yushan was still able to tell the story of Xietian Wu in a story-telling tone at the beginning.

But after speaking, his voice couldn't help but choked up.

"It turns out that the evil villain who curled up has such a history..."

Zong Ze stroked his chin beard and whispered to himself.

Speaking of which, he didn't find any stories about Xietian Wu, maybe the image of the little man curled up was not recognizable enough, maybe he didn't look in the right direction.

If we start with the legend of Ge Tianweng, we may be able to find some clues.

After Daoist Brother Yushan finished telling what he knew, the three little Taoist priests also got up angrily.

"Go down the mountain!"

"Eradicate that crooked way!"

Facing the angry Taoist brothers, Brother Yushan just smiled bitterly.

He shook his head lightly, expressing his refusal.

"Do not…"

"The mountain has changed a long time ago..."

"I heard from the bearer in the town the other day that the liberated army has already wiped out all evil ways,"

"The orthodoxy of the Thousand Hearts Temple is completely finished!"

"Even here we can't avoid it. After the autumn harvest is over, we have to hurry up and take off the sign."

Brother Yushan showed a wry smile.

Then he suddenly remembered something, and his face became serious.

"By the way, did you say anything to you when leaning on the wood to leave?"

Facing this question, the three little Taoist priests shook their heads in confusion.

But after thinking for a while, the youngest Taoist priest remembered something.

"Brother Yushan, I know..."

Hearing what Little Daoist said, everyone turned their attention to him.

This made the young Taoist brother more nervous.

He stammered and said.

"A few days before Daoist Yimu left, he used to squat by the old well alone, muttering something. Once he found me looking at him, he came over and patted his head."

"It's just his expression at that time that scared me!"

"His smile is like a monster in a New Year picture..."

"Brother Yimu told me that maybe it won't be long before we can meet again..."

……

Everyone thought about the meaning of the little Taoist's words.

Especially Brother Yushan, the expression on his face was even more dignified.

He has long noticed that something is wrong with Yimu, especially in the past few months.

About half a year before Guanzhu’s old man went down the mountain, he once went down the mountain by leaning on a tree. After returning, he became more dull and reticent. Since he was not very talkative before, this change did not attract everyone’s attention. For this taciturn person, he suddenly became even more silent, which didn't seem to be an unacceptable situation.

But looking back now, Yimu seems to have become not quite right since then...

The crowd was silent.

Everyone has their own thoughts, either remembering the old Guanzhu, or thinking about whether the so-called Tianwu faction really has a way for people to obtain the power of Taoism.

After all, for Taoists of their generation, cultivation has become out of reach.

But cultivators have not been completely cut off, because monks themselves have a longer lifespan.

In addition, those talented and amazingly talented guys can still practice even in such an environment where it is difficult to enter the Tao, but the difficulty is many times higher than in the past.

There is a yearning for power hidden in everyone's heart.

This is why the Tianwu faction is as difficult to eradicate as weeds, but it is inexhaustible.

Just when the little Taoists were thinking about life, the condescending Zong found something strange!
From his position, he can faintly overlook the Thousand Hearts Temple in the forest clearing on the opposite hill.

Originally, everything was as usual in the Thousand Hearts Temple there, but just now, a sudden change happened quietly.

A thick plume of smoke rose into the sky, typical of a fire.

But those little Taoist priests didn't seem to notice.

Zongze tried to act again, but found that the surroundings were still restricted, obviously this was still CG time.

He could only wait patiently for a while.

At this time, Mo Ke also stood up, and her gaze was gradually deepening as she watched the Qianxin Temple in the distance, as if she could go back to the scene at this time and see the current situation of Qianxin Temple through this distance.

About five or six minutes later, a man in coarse cloth and a pair of straw sandals quickly ran up the terraced fields.

"Oh no!"

"The Taoist temple is on fire!"

He yelled loudly, his tone very urgent.

Yushan Taoist and other young Taoist priests were shocked when they heard this.

They got up quickly, not even caring about picking up the tea mugs and porcelain bowls on the ground, and ran down the hill quickly.

"Just go away..."

"What about us?"

As soon as Zong Ze asked the question, a new reminder appeared in front of him.

[New scene opens, interactive mode starts]

[Your actions will determine the ending of the scene, and to a certain extent change some of the causes and effects that have occurred in reality]

……

After the prompt appeared, the surrounding scene suddenly changed, and they appeared in a place where mountain people lived together.

There are about five or six families here, all of which are houses with wooden beams and stone walls.

At this moment, the place is quiet and silent, and Zong Ze and Mo Ke can move freely.

When they looked up, they could still see the smoke column in the distance.

It shows that this is not the Thousand Hearts Temple, but it is not too far from the Thousand Hearts Temple.

"It smells like blood..."

"The houses around here are full of corpses..."

Just when Zong Ze was about to investigate further, Mo Ke suddenly spoke.

He followed Mo Ke to the nearest room, where there were two corpses with their throats cut.

Then, he and Mo Ke checked all the nearby houses in a short period of time.

It was found that all 21 people in this settlement had been killed,

The cause of death was slit throat.

At the same time, Zong Ze also found that each of the deceased seemed to have undergone bloodletting, and there was not much blood spilled on the ground.

This is also a very important situation. The person who did these things is most likely to be the guy who destroyed the Thousand Hearts Temple in the mountain and left behind three coffins and the hall ceremony.

As for that guy, Zong Ze thought it should be the guy with the dark eyes and the Taoist name Yi Mu who did it.

While investigating, Mo Ke also used his spiritual sense to sweep around, but found nothing extra.

It shows that this is not the main goal of the opponent.

"Let's hurry to Thousand Hearts Temple!"

The path below the settlement extends towards the direction of the smoke column,
Mo Ke directly pulled Zongze up into the sky.

Tracing along the path, you will soon come to the Thousand Hearts Temple,

At this time, the open fire of Qianxin Temple has been extinguished, and the smoke column has become much weaker.

But something is wrong down there!
Around the Thousand Hearts Temple, there are several villagers lying crookedly.

Next to them were buckets of water that had fallen to the ground.

In the temple, the house on the right was on fire, which is where Brother Yushan lived.

At this time, the building collapsed completely, and the place where the open fire was lit was buried by rubble.

The inner view is so quiet that you have to check it out yourself!
