Maoshan ghost hunter

Ye Shaoyang glanced at Cheng Zi and said: "First, any pagoda has been standing on the top of the mountain since ancient times, unless there is no mountain, only the tower standing on the top of the mountain can be seen from a distance, which looks very strange. High, from the perspective of feng shui, the tower is a spiritual thing. The higher it stands, the more open the surrounding area, so that the wind can blow from all directions and absorb more spiritual energy. This is the first time I have seen mountains all around, but The tower was erected on purpose in the valley.

Second, is this tower made of iron?This is not the human world, the Qingming Realm...does it have the technology to make iron? "

Cheng Zi was stunned immediately after hearing this, and murmured: "There are ghosts."

"But this is not the Yin Division. Think about it carefully. The magical weapons used by the Taoist monks in the Qingming Realm are all brought from the human world. I don't believe that such a big tower can be moved here from the human world?"

"Then...but this is clearly the iron tower?"

Ye Shaoyang stepped forward and touched the body of the tower, it really looked like cast iron.Solid...why do you want to make it solid? Is there something poured in it?

Ye Shaoyang looked up and down the iron tower again, only to find that on the first floor below the spire, there are some symbols engraved on it, which are sunken. There are eight sides of the iron tower, and there are symbols on each side, because there is no color .It was not discovered before.

Ye Shaoyang studied the eight symbols carefully, and they didn't look like words. He suspected that they were some kind of runes that he couldn't understand. The eight symbols looked similar, and each of them looked like the "s" in the English alphabet. However, after Ye Shaoyang's research, he discovered that the "s" is the basis of the eight symbols. In other words, there is an s in each of the eight runes, and each has a different symbol on it, some are dots, and some are waves.

It's definitely some kind of rune! !

Ye Shaoyang looked at the iron tower in a daze, guessing the meaning of the eight runes on it, and at the same time searching for various Taoist runes in his memory. Speaking of this matter, there is still a historical background:

In the process of Taoism transforming from the original Wudou rice religion to various sects, due to different understandings of Taoist culture, although the essence has not changed, the difference in form is getting bigger and bigger. This difference is mainly reflected in the runes. In terms of painting method.

The improvement of rune drawing by different factions also has a very secular purpose: to worry about the spells of one's own school being learned by others.

The drawing method of runes is not random. There is a specific law in the coordination of spells, just like different languages. You must first learn the letters and spelling rules before you can understand the meaning of words. To learn the spells of a certain sect, one must also understand the laws behind the runes. Otherwise, it is like a person who does not understand English. Even if an English word is placed in front of him, he cannot pronounce it, let alone understand its meaning.

During the Han and Tang Dynasties, the development of Taoism reached its peak, and various sects were separated, and they were also in competition with each other. Because of the views of sects, in order to prevent their own sects from being learned, the larger sects invented all kinds. My own way of drawing runes. In the late Southern Song Dynasty, various wars and massacres caused many sects to become extinct, and there were many classics about spells left. However, because I used my own language, it was difficult for future generations Just like an encrypted file, it is difficult to decipher it without changing the rules.

Among these spells, many of them are unique skills of the sect. As a result, because of the use of "encrypted language", future generations cannot practice them, so they are lost. This kind of loss is like a treasury in front of future generations. I can take it wherever I want, but I can't find the key...

Because of the impact of the war, similar incidents happened many times. For the later Taoist disciples, this feeling was simply broken.

In the early Yuan Dynasty, the two great masters of the Quanzhen School, Qiu Chuji and Wang Chuyi, preached in the Mongolian army and were deeply respected by Genghis Khan. After the Mongols entered the Central Plains, Taoism was restored, especially Quanzhenism, which almost became the state religion. - Mongolia did not have a unified religious belief.

After Quanzhen Pai Da, the first major thing he did was to unify the laws of Taoist runes. Because of the previous views of the sect, the Taoist sect suffered heavy losses. Cheats, it turned out to be like reading a foreign language, and my heart was like a dead dog, so I actively responded to the call of the Quanzhen Sect. In addition, the Quanzhen Sect was very popular at that time, and the consequences of disobedience were very serious, so everyone The big sects sit together to discuss, and in the future they will use some kind of unified law to draw symbols.

At that time, each faction still had different ways of drawing symbols. It was like choosing Mandarin from dialects. It was a great honor to choose which school to choose.

However, this glory was later contested by the Quanzhen faction. After all, the status was high at that time, and the emperor Laozi supported it. However, at that time, there was another sect with the greatest influence in the south: Zhengyijiao, also called Tianshidao, because it belonged to Zhang Daoling. Direct lineage is tantamount to the most noble bloodline, which has a great influence in the south, and many small sects use the methods and rules of the orthodox one to draw talismans.

First, it has a natural foundation, and second, it is a descendant of Zhang Tianshi. The Quanzhen Sect did not dare to offend the Zhengyi Sect, so after everyone discussed it at that time, they adopted two rules for drawing symbols: Quanzhen was used in the north, and Quanzhen was used in the south. Zhengyi has continued since then.

Later, due to changes in the country, wars, and some natural reasons, the original teachings of Quanzhen Sect and Zhengyi Sect were disintegrated and divided into many sects. After hundreds of years of troubled times, they never formed a unity. The rules for writing runes are nominally branches of the Zhengyi Sect or the Quanzhen Sect, but later the Taoism became unified, and although both sides still use their own rules, the disciples of the sect can learn to master both rules without any obstacles.

This movement of unifying the rules of Taoist runes, which occurred in the early Yuan Dynasty, was later called the new "two religions and three merchants" by Taoist disciples. Textual research and translation of classics... Through this method, many powerful spells have been deciphered, and many deciphered rules have also been made public and recorded.

Because the time for each family to play their own game is too long, at least several hundred years old, involving many sects, leaving behind a large number of such classics, it can be regarded as finding a job for future generations, until the establishment of the magic guild in the present age Well, after the guild lost its practical effect, the most meaningful thing it did was to verify these ancient books...

Every Taoist disciple will learn at least a few popular classical rune rules during their growth, so that if they get some lost spell books in the future, there may be a chance to translate them... although this chance is not great.

When Ye Shaoyang was young, he also learned a lot of these classical stock rules, mainly for fun. Although he didn't pay much attention, he also learned a lot of rules in the process of growing up... At least thirty or fifty different rules can be used Talisman is also considered a strange work in Taoism.

Therefore, after confirming that these are runes on the iron tower, Ye Shaoyang wondered if it was some kind of classical rules, and quickly went through the ones he had mastered and the ones he hadn't mastered, and finally determined that they should not be Taoist runes .

Will it be the runes of Buddhism?

This thought suddenly popped into Ye Shaoyang's mind. After all, this iron tower belongs to Lanruo Temple, and Lanruo Temple is a Buddhist temple. If you look closely, it doesn't seem to be a Buddhist rune, but you can't be sure.

But one thing can be determined: since this is a rune, it must be to maintain a certain formation!Could it be... is there really something sealed in this iron tower?Is Yan Chixia in there?

Thinking about it carefully, this possibility really exists. Now I took out the Yin-Yang disk, and after flicking it, let go of my finger, there was a sound of the astrolabe rotating, and then the pointer pointed to the direction of the iron tower, like a compass. No matter how you turn it, the direction remains the same.

"Sure enough, there is a situation!" Ye Shaoyang took a deep breath, "I don't know what is sealed inside this iron tower!"

Cheng Zi was surprised and said: "No way? Didn't you say that many people have come to investigate, and this place belongs to Xingxiu Sea. They have been thinking about it for so many years, but they haven't been able to break the seal?"

Ye Shaoyang said: "Xingxiuhai came here to establish a sect, probably for the exclusive use of this iron tower, but it is normal to have no harvest, if the seal is strong enough, and as long as it is maintained, it cannot be opened even if it is left for 1 years. It doesn't matter how long it takes."

After finishing speaking, Ye Shaoyang put one hand on the iron tower and sensed it with Gang Qi. Except for feeling a little cold, there was no reaction... This is not right. According to my own guess, if there is really a seal on the iron tower, if you encounter Gang Qi Qi should be activated, why is there no response at all?Did I guess wrong?

Seeing him like this, Cheng Zi immediately asked curiously what happened.Ye Shaoyang roughly explained it. After Chengzi finished listening, he looked at the mysterious symbol on the top of the iron tower and said, "Maybe it's really not a rune, maybe it's some kind of decoration? It's normal to have some decorations on the building, right?"

Ye Shaoyang looked at the strange symbols on it again, and was also full of doubts. He scratched his head and said, "With my IQ, I don't think I can understand it, but this thing must be understood. This tower is the only one here. There's a clue."

Now spread out your left hand, press on Guagua's soul seal, and activate it three times in a row. This is the signal agreed before. There is no wireless signal in the Qingming Realm, so the mobile phone cannot be used here. Ye Shaoyang and the disciples can use the soul seal to communicate. information, but not with Rui Lengyu and Lin Sansheng. On the way here, Rui Lengyu thought of a way to send signals to each other. If we separated, Ye Shaoyang wanted to find her, so he would activate the soul of a doorman who was with her. Print twice, three times will be Lin Sansheng, four times will be Lao Guo...

Now except for Chengzi, all of them are together, and it doesn't matter whoever's soul seal is activated.

Before, he was worried that Lin Sansheng would be in danger if he was with him, but now Ye Shaoyang felt that he needed him urgently.

While waiting for Lin Sansheng to arrive, Ye Shaoyang and Chengzi checked the surrounding situation again, trying to find out something.Out of the corners of their eyes, the two of them have been paying attention to the nearby mountain peaks.

1961 Mysterious Pagoda 2

Fortunately, these mountains are some distance away, and the valleys are covered with deep vegetation, which is just used to cover up. At least so far, Ye Shaoyang believes that he has not been discovered.

However, what he didn't know was that on the top of the highest mountain, Yaoguang Peak, on the edge of the cliff, there were several people watching his every move, one of them was wearing a veil skirt, and his long hair almost reached his heels The woman stood in front of everyone, staring at Ye Shaoyang without blinking, and murmured: "He is Ye Shaoyang."

Behind him, an old Taoist priest in yellow shirt twisted his beard and said, "Yes, that's him."

The woman said, "Why do I think he doesn't look like a treacherous person?"

"He is a Taoist priest, the head teacher of Maoshan, and he once forced Wuji Celestial Master to death with that Daofeng, and exterminated the Xuankong Temple... Even if the head teacher didn't see this matter, the adultery between him and the demon girl Nine-Tailed Sky Fox, The fairy always knows, as the headmaster of Maoshan, but colluded with the goblin, isn't he a treacherous person?"

The woman called Fairy kept silent, continued to observe Ye Shaoyang, and said for a while; "Guanzhu Wu, I have always been in a quiet corner of Xingxiu Sea, and I don't care much about the affairs of other families. It is also related to the catastrophe, so I have to get involved. If you let me know Daofeng is not a reincarnated ghost boy, but you are sowing discord, whether it is your head teacher or Lishan, I will not give face!"

Guanzhu Wu nodded repeatedly, "It must be him, this is verified by nephew Su Mo in the world...Fairy, you should do it now. Bring out the Big Dipper array, as long as Ye Shaoyang is trapped, Daofeng will come to rescue..."

The fairy said: "I want to see what he is doing."

Beside Guanzhu Wu, stood a monk who didn't look very old, about 60 or [-] years old. He looked broad-minded and fat, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes.

His appearance, and Zen Master Zhishen, who is full of flesh and beard, are completely two extremes.

The old monk clasped his hands together, walked behind the fairy, and spoke in the middle of his speech, revealing a sense of mystery from an eminent monk: "The fairy really believes that there is any mystery in this iron tower?"

Fairy looked back at the old monk, nodded and said, "Master doesn't believe it?"

"In Buddhism, the pagoda is indeed used to suppress evil spirits, but before your sect established its sect here, countless sects flocked here. The land in this valley has been searched long ago, and there is no abnormality. The faction has been established here for thousands of years, isn't it impossible to find out the truth?"

"I gave up a long time ago, but we discovered that the so-called mystery is not under the pagoda... You were all misunderstood before, and the mystery is in the tower."

The expressions of the old monk and a few people nearby obviously froze for a moment, and then said: "So what, we tried to break the seal at the beginning, but no one can understand the runes on it. Does your faction have a way to break the seal?"

"If there is, how can we keep it until now."

While overlooking the valley, the fairy continued, "For thousands of years, we have tried various methods and found many different races to interpret the rune, but unfortunately, it does not belong to any race's text."
