The old demon of Montenegro wants to practice Taoism

Shan Yangze looked up, and there was a piece of yellowed sackcloth in front of Guo, which was torn from nowhere.

If you want to find Zhang Sanfeng through divination, you must first confirm whether this thing belongs to Zhang Sanfeng, but Zhang Sanfeng is also a Taoist, and the Taoism is at its peak. If you use Taoism, the ones learned by Shan Yangze have been submerged in the long river of history If there is nothing left in the Dao, it cannot be found.

But there are other ways, like the so-called invite fox fairy, pen fairy, dish fairy, etc., find a lone ghost and ghost, and divination based on the ghost's perception of the world.

For the old monster, especially for the guy opposite who is a ghost without his upper body, it doesn't take much effort.

So how to determine whether this thing is Zhang Sanfeng's is to ask about lifespan.

Even if Zhang Sanfeng died now, he would have lived for more than 200 years. This is the biggest key point.

However, divination cannot be done without reference objects, so when the old eunuch and Jin Yiwei went out, Shan Yangze pulled something off them by the way.

Ask about their lifespan first, the old eunuch calculated that it was sixty to seven, and the two Jinyiwei did not exceed thirty, this is the reference.After drawing a few traces, divination is done with the strange things down from Wudang Mountain.

As for the piece of jute cloth in front of Guo Qian, the calculated life expectancy is at least three times that of the old eunuch, and it is not surprising that it is him.

Shan Yangze glanced again inadvertently, and found that Guo Qian's progress was much faster than him, Shan Yangze only counted seven, while Guo Qian had already counted eleven or twelve.

In fact, it is not without benefits to have a ghost by your side, Shan Yangze smiled.

Guo Qian glanced at him, then glanced at his progress, and said, "Your Majesty's movements are too full."

Shan Yangze cleared his throat, and said seriously: "Even if you find it, you can't give up. You still have to count the rest. If you can find two more things, you will be more confident."

Guo Qian chuckled, and his movements became faster and faster.

How else can you say that ghosts and ghosts don't have to worry about doing this kind of thing at all, they don't need to empty their minds, and they don't need to be one with heaven and earth, they can chat while working.

In the past hour or so, the two of them have gone through a total of 72 items. There are more than a dozen items whose lifespan is longer than that of the old eunuch, but only one item is this high.

This is almost Zhang Sanfeng, even if he is not, finding such a long-lived person is barely enough for him.

Then, it's about life and death.

In the early morning of the next day, everyone gathered in Shanyangze House again. Other things had been cleared away, and now there was a map and the piece of jute cloth on the table.

Shan Yangze sighed, and said: "I found it, but... I'm afraid it will be difficult."

The old eunuch was overjoyed at first, but he frowned again when he heard the words "difficult to handle", and said: "Don't let the Taoist priest put it off again, it's not a good idea, I still have to say it for everyone's reference."

"Zhang Sanfeng is dead."

The old eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, and made preparations for digging the grave before going out. There is nothing difficult about it.But after all, he has a lot of experience, he is also calm, and his face is still calm, but the two young Jin Yiwei smiled a little, and Huai Shu gave him a hard look.

"He died completely." Shan Yangze explained: "People have three souls and seven souls. After death, the seven souls dissipate. Among the three souls, the heaven and earth souls ascend to heaven, and the soul returns to the earth, waiting for the next rebirth. The soul of life is reincarnated, the two souls of heaven and earth gather together to regenerate a new seven souls, which is a new person, this is the so-called cycle of life and death."

"But Zhang Sanfeng's fate soul is gone, and the hexagram shows a situation of death within a certain distance." Shan Yangze said again: "Let's put it this way, even if ordinary people die, fortune-telling should also be a hexagram of life within death. , which represents reincarnation. If you become a ghost after death, then you will be slandered.”

Shan Yangze shook his head and sighed: "Zhang Sanfeng is a member of the Taoist sect. It is very unusual for his life and soul to dissipate after death. But..." Shan Yangze changed the subject and said, "I counted that he visited before he died. The last place is about 300 miles to the southwest of this place. If no one has touched his body after his death, this is his burial place, but before he died, he must have set up a formation. Not very precise."

Shan Yangze pointed and drew a small circle. When the old eunuch saw it, he couldn't help blurting out, "Why is it here!"

Where is he referring?Shennongjia, the legendary place where Shennong built wooden ladders and tasted all kinds of herbs.Ignoring the legends, this place... the old eunuch frowned, and said: "This is the barbarian place in the southwest. Except for a few counties around the mountain, the village in the mountain is almost a place that no one can control. It is commonly known as Tiangao The emperor is far away, this is what we are talking about."

Don't say it's time for the dynasty, Shanyang Ze thought, even in his era, there was still a large uninhabited area in Shennongjia, and many people who claimed to be going to explore would disappear every year.But... it's a monster now, maybe I can go in and take a stroll?Shan Yangze couldn't help being inexplicably excited.

The old eunuch had been serving the emperor for a long time, and he knew a thing or two about the country's government affairs. This place is almost impossible to collect taxes. There are poisonous insects and snakes, and there are countless monsters. One, if you can go in, it’s hard to say if you can’t come out.

Back then, Emperor Taizong was so ambitious that he sent soldiers and horses into the mountains, saying that he wanted to draw maps, check the population, and find the legendary treasures. Unfortunately, the group of elite soldiers who accompanied Emperor Taizong from the time of King Yan, 1000 Many people, including men and horses, entered the mountain and never came out again.

As for the formation of troops, the two most powerful in this dynasty, the first is of course the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, and the second is Taizong Zhu Di who took the throne of his nephew in the name of the Qing emperor. So from then on, everyone in this place turned their eyes and closed their eyes. The few counties below the mountain were still under the control of the emperor, and the ones inside the mountain... that's the way it is.

"How?" Shan Yangze asked again, the old eunuch is the representative of the investor, although he does not interfere in the details, but he decides the general direction.

The old eunuch was a little embarrassed, and said: "What does the Taoist think? Where can I go? How sure is the Taoist?"

Shan Yangze could go by himself, but he has calmed down now.What is Shennongjia? It is said that there were miracles during the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. The memory of Shanyangze, the old black mountain demon, only took a thousand years to become a demon. Compared with it, it is naturally worse, so we still have to be cautious.

As for the old eunuch and this Jinyiwei... Before Shan Yangze could say anything, the old eunuch made his own decision, "Why don't we go to the outskirts to find a place, if we can find a place, everyone will be happy, if we are still deep in the mountain, we will go back Report to the emperor to make a decision. Go back when you have news, so you can talk."

The old eunuch was actually a little eager for quick success. The purpose of this trip was to find Zhang Sanfeng on the surface, but in fact, to put it bluntly, it was aimed at immortality.The old eunuch is already sixty-seven this year. He practiced martial arts in his early years. Although he is still in good health, he is still at this age. A serious illness may kill him at any time.

Everyone wants to live forever, especially those at the top of the food chain. This desire is particularly strong, and the old eunuch is no exception. He has a deep guess in his heart. If the emperor can live forever, the elixir and wealth, He calculated that he could probably be ranked sixth, after all, the emperor needs someone to serve him, doesn't he?He's the one doing the work.

As for the first five, the emperor, the emperor's mother, the nanny next to the emperor's mother, Wan Guifei, and Wan Guifei's little eunuch, but as the emperor gave birth to a four-year-old son who was still raised by Wan Guifei's side, the old eunuch I feel like I'm about to fall to seventh.

Hearing what the old eunuch said, Shan Yangze nodded and said: "In this case, let's go on the road first, and get things ready first."

The few of them are now at the foot of Wudang Mountain, more than 300 miles away from Shennongjia, and this road is very difficult to walk. There is no way.

After walking for seven or eight days on the road, even the black dog couldn't take it anymore, so he got on the carriage to rest, and finally arrived.

Shennongjia is so big, deep in the mountains, old forests, and countless caves. Finding someone is more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack. However, Shanyangze and the others took the shortest road from Wudang Mountain. Presumably, if Zhang Sanfeng entered the mountain, he should also take this path. one.

As for whether Zhang Sanfeng would be so suspicious and take a long way to go to another mountain pass to enter the mountain... If he followed this idea, he would be completely impossible to find.So Shan Yangze just thought about it and put it behind him.

Although none of them are professional...whether it is an adventurer or a grave digger, almost all of them have the experience of going out. A few people worked together to calculate, and bought a lot of various items in the towns passing by on the road. From waterproof cloth to ropes, there are all kinds of food that can be stored for a long time, water bags, including herbs to repel mosquitoes, and pills to detoxify snakes. Of course, there are necessary shovels.Now, this thing is all on the back of the black donkey.

In fact, the closer he got to Shennongjia, the more uneasy Shan Yangze felt, but he wasn't sure if it was because of a person's fear of the unknown, or because of the sixth sense of monsters. Personally, his complexion was as usual, and Shan Yangze felt that he might be superstitious.

When they arrived at the last official-speaking village in the mountain area, they planned to rest for one night before going into the mountain.

At night, several people sat around the table, Shan Yangze said: "Zhang Sanfeng is a Taoist priest, and there have been no large-scale changes in Wudang Mountain these years, so it should be a naked burial. I think the most important places to look for are some naturally formed Caves, dead trees, etc."

What is naked burial?Of course it's not about stripping naked and burying people.

The naked burial in the funeral system means that the person does not build a mausoleum, there are basically no funeral objects, and the burial is relatively simple, that is, naked burial.

The nude burial of Taoist priests, in addition to paying attention to the unity of man and nature, also has the problem of manpower and material resources. Building a mausoleum is a big project, and it cannot be done without money.How can a Taoist priest have the manpower and financial resources to repair a mausoleum, so either after his death, his apprentice will dig a hole and bury it, or if he has a higher level of Taoism, he will find a good place before he is alive, thinking that he should die, and leave a letter. Disappeared quietly, and sat in the geomantic treasure place I chose.

The old lady listened to Shan Yangze's words and added: "The food and water we prepared are enough for about half a month, so after entering the mountain, we can only walk for seven days." The old eunuch thought about the circle drawn by Shan Yangze, and said "However, if all goes well, seven days will be enough." Moreover, Zhang Sanfeng was not alone when he came, how far can he go into the mountains with only one person's strength?

Several people discussed the route into the mountain, and Shan Yangze said: "It's getting late, why don't you rest early. No matter how much you talk about, you have to go into the mountain to find out."

After everyone left, Guo Qianpiao came out.

Shan Yangze pressed his chest and said: "I've always felt uncomfortable in my heart these few days, but it's not uneasy." He thought for a while, "I don't know what to say, anyway, this feeling is very strange."

Seeing that Guo Qian's face changed, he paused for a moment, floated to Shan Yangze, and said with a smile: "No wonder the king hasn't talked much these two days. It's just that if this feeling is only owned by the king... Could it be, what is there in this mountain?" ?”

Shan Yangze shook his head and said: "No matter what, you have to go in to find out."

After a night passed, just before dawn, several people pretended to be herbal medicine merchants who came from afar, each of them carried a backpack with a small medicine shovel inside, and walked into Shennongjia under the first ray of sunshine in the morning.
