This coffin is surprisingly big. In the past, coffins were made one, two, three, two, three, four, three, four, five, four, five, six. This mouth is six inches thick, that is, the top cover is six inches thick, the sides of the two boxes are each six inches thick, and the bottom is six inches thick.
The material is cypress and pomegranate wood, which is extremely strong and has no damage.
Bai Yunsheng and the others couldn't see inside, so they asked, "Is this true?"
"There is indeed a corpse, just open it."
Gu Yu stretched out his hand to rest on the edge, and with a soft shock, the coffin board immediately staggered a gap. He pushed it aside again, and with a clang, the entire interior was exposed.
"..."
You Yu was a little scared, turned his head and didn't dare to look at it, but after a while, there was no rancid smell as imagined, but a faint medicinal fragrance.
I saw a corpse lying in the coffin, without any traces of more than a hundred years, like a normal person who had just died when he was extremely skinny, with visible tendons and skin, which were properly glued to the skeleton.
The facial features are clear and sunken, the long beard is still there, and he is wearing a Taoist robe, which still retains some of the spirit of his life. She folded her hands in front of her chest, holding a tickle to scratch... Oh no, Yu Ruyi.
In the huge coffin, there is nothing but one person and one Ruyi.
You Yu was very curious, sniffed the fragrance of the medicine, and exclaimed: "This must be Taoist Tuo, right? Sure enough, he has excellent medical skills. I don't know what kind of medicine he has prepared, which can make the body unharmed for a hundred years."
"If it's an ordinary person, he can be said to be brilliant, but he is a Taoist priest, and he attaches so much importance to the corpse, he still hasn't practiced yet." Gu Yu shook his head.
It is said that the ancient monks cultivated both form and spirit, pursuing the sanctification of the flesh. If you fail to cultivate, then death is death, unless you dissect the body.
It is a Buddhist thing to make a corpse that will not rot for a hundred years. Now people don’t understand, for example, the word Zuohua is a Buddhist term. As a result, some people also call it Zuohua after the death of a Taoist priest.
Emmmmm!
Gu Yu said so, but after all, he is a senior, and he also bowed sincerely a few times, saying: "I don't want to offend, once this matter is over, I will be buried in peace. In the future, my way will be accomplished. If there is a chance to meet the spirit and soul, I will see each other forever." joyous."
"..."
Bai Yunsheng looked at him. Buddhism talks about cause and effect, and Taoism has something similar. Practitioners cannot make blind promises. If you fail to keep your promises, you will not be able to transcend your own practice, and you will have demonic obstacles.
Gu Yu's speech this time is far from making a promise, but it also shows his sincerity.
And after he finished speaking, he first placed restrictions on the corpse, and then stretched out his right hand, and Yu Ruyi appeared in his palm. This Ruyi is more than one foot long, white and flawless, warm and pure, and the whole body is carved in round.
Four lines of poetry are engraved on the front handle:
"Thousands of wars have turned upside down, and I went to live and enjoy my own leisure. I gradually realized that the opportunity came to reality, but I cut off life and death. The cold water and the moon look at the stream, the clear dew, the dawn, and the autumn are in the mountains. The bleak wind blows the two places farewell, A lone cloud never leaves the chaotic peaks."
On the reverse side, there is also a symbol, like a taboo character, and also like a Dao pattern, with many strokes and strange movements, implying a sense of boundlessness.
Hiss!
When Bai Yunsheng saw this symbol, his heart trembled, but he was very good at nourishing Qi, and it didn't show on his face. Gu Yu over there is worried, tsk, this kind of puzzle is the most annoying, let's understand it literally:
The first two sentences are mostly about chaotic battles that have lasted for a thousand years, and I simply ignore them and enjoy myself leisurely. It is very easy to calculate that the opportunity is approaching, but it turns out that he will die soon.
The last two sentences seem to talk about the sorrow of parting.
Huh
Gu Yu silently recited four lines of poems, suddenly his mind turned, and he remembered the two couplets in the library, and intuited that there was some kind of connection between them.
Immediately, he put away Ruyi, sent it back to the coffin, and asked, "Did the Taoist priest find anything?"
"Ashamed!" Bai Yunsheng shook his head.
"I think it has something to do with the Black Temple, why don't you go up and have a look?"
"Also."
After being affirmed by the other party, Gu Yu turned to the You brothers again, and said, "It's hard work for you to lead the way. I just heard the gunshots over there. It is estimated that the military is clearing the flock of birds. You should go back along the way, and nothing will happen. Oh, I will give it to you." Some of you report..."
"I don't want a reward!"
Before the words were finished, You Le hurriedly said: "Sir, let us go up with you. Xiaoyu is very familiar with Yushan, maybe there is still a place to use it."
"Forget it, you just follow me up, talk less and do less." Gu Yu didn't care.
"Thank you, sir!"
You Le was overjoyed, pulled You Yu over and followed behind.
As a result, the four of them turned from the east foot to the main entrance, and found that the flock of birds had decreased obviously, and bird carcasses were seen from time to time, and there was a bloody smell floating in the air.
"ah!"
As soon as You Yu stepped on the brick floor, he couldn't help screaming, and saw six armored vehicles neatly parked at the intersection from the city. There were three cars in a row, which were divided into two rows. The armed police were armed with live ammunition in the car, and there were a few cars mixed up. Seven or eight people were looking out.
With such a battle, the two brothers suddenly panicked, their hands and feet stiffened.
"It came pretty fast."
Gu Yu flicked his sleeves, Shi Shi ran forward a few steps. Someone from the opposite side ran over and said, "Mr. Gu, I'm the deputy director of the Guizhou Special Branch. It's my first meeting. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"What are you doing here?"
"We just finished cleaning up the county. I heard that you are in Yushan, so I came here to ask."
The deputy director paused and said, "Mr. Gu, what's going on here?"
"I just figured it out, and I'm still investigating. I'm going up the mountain to have a look."
"If it is convenient, we would also like to accompany."
"Okay, this is not my territory, please go ahead."
He was quite generous, and he entered the mountain gate after speaking. The deputy director thought for a moment, ordered five of his subordinates, and came to the Black Temple together.
When I came in the morning, if the aura restlessness here was 1, it is now 4. It seemed that as time passed, the thing became more and more restless.
Gu Yu went straight to the library in the backyard, and looked at the two couplets again: let's add two units to the mountain of fish, like the toad cave reflecting the three pools. Jinchengtou is illuminated by the sun, and the library is reflected by the moon.
Tuo Jichan is a lover of elegance, and often opposes the literati in Zhijin County reciting poems, and he is also good at playing the guqin. He carried Jade Ruyi into the coffin, maybe it was really a rare thing, or maybe this old Taoist wanted to give some enlightenment to future generations.
And these two pairs, Eryou, should refer to Dayou Mountain and Xiaoyou Mountain in Yuanling County. It is said that the Qin people once studied here in seclusion and stored thousands of books in the cave. Therefore, Eryou is usually used to describe the number of books.
That's enough, what's the meaning of the Toad Cave behind? Could it be that during the period of the Republic of China, there was a certain elder
Alas!
He didn't dare to think about it anymore, frowned and thought, and muttered: "Rizhao Jinchengtou, Jinchengtou... Jincheng is the capital of Bashu Province, more than 700 kilometers away, what kind of sunshine method?"
Bai Yunsheng also looked at the couplet, paused for a moment, and suddenly said: "I know Jincheng, it may refer to another place."
"Where?" Gu Yu hurriedly asked.
"It is also in the middle of Shu, not far from Zhijin. It is now called Youxian County. This place is rich in rhododendrons, and the flowers are blooming like brocades, so it is called Jincheng. call."
"Then why is it called Youxian County?" He asked again.
"..."
Bai Yunsheng turned his head, but didn't answer.
Gu Yu didn't take it seriously, and teased: "Hey, you know Bashu very well, have you ever stayed there?"
"..."
"Could it be that you are from Bashu?"
"..."
"Or, there are people from Bashu in your sect? Or, your sect was moved from Bashu?"
"you!"
Bai Yunsheng shuddered suddenly, and looked at the other party suddenly.
"Don't be nervous, I'll just ask."
Gu Yu smiled and waved his hands. He was not stupid. Although Xiao Zhai was vague, he guessed it himself.
The Immortal Cave was not built by local Taoists, Taoism in Guizhou Province was mostly influenced by Sichuan, and Bai Yunsheng was proficient in swordsmanship... The combination of many factors naturally leads to an ancient and mysterious organization.
What came out of Shu
Sword Fairy!
The theory of sword immortals has a long history. According to Xiaozhai's division method, it should be a genre that appeared in the period of ancient immortals. It is different from traditional cultivation methods, and it belonged to sects at that time, which was despised by many colleagues, and it was rarely recorded in ancient books.
Gu Yu only knew roughly that the Sword Immortal sect was divided into north and south, the north was unknown, and the south was respected by Bashu. Their teaching principles are quite unique, the so-called "all arts in ancient times are learned from here, but my swordsmanship is taught from here".
Teachers are only allowed to find disciples, but disciples are not allowed to find teachers. If it weren't for the deep fate, it would be hard to see each other.
Tut tut! Gu Yu was very excited, feeling that the sword (zhuang) fairy (bi) heart in his bosom was about to move again, and his blood was boiling. Of course, now is not the time to climax, the most important thing is to find a baby.
Sometimes he looked at the couplets, sometimes at Ruyi, and walked around the backyard.
"Sunshine... Moonlight... Clear dew, Dawn mist, Autumn in the mountains..."
"Don't be in two places... don't be in two places... between the chaotic peaks..."
Um? He stopped abruptly, a light bulb was lit above his head, and he quickly observed the terrain of the backyard. The courtyard was built in an extremely weird way, with rocky peaks on three sides and the main hall on one side, as if the courtyard was surrounded by fences on all sides.
Looking up, it looks like a corner of the sky, with several white clouds.
"Jinchengtou, library... Ha!"
He muttered a few words, then smiled suddenly: "The one who doesn't have a name, please ask the weather station, is there any abnormal weather these days?"
"What?"
The deputy director who was leading people to poke around was startled, and said, "Which region are you asking about? Xia Guo is so big."
"It's Zhijin."
"Oh, good!"
The deputy director didn't know, so he made a phone call honestly, and after a while, he replied: "Due to the change of the rotation cycle of the sun and the moon, there will be a more obvious phenomenon of the sun and the moon in the near future... and the most ideal observation place is at From Youxian County to Zhijin."
"when?"
"Tomorrow morning."
"Gu, Mr. Gu..."
The deputy director's voice was trembling. Although he didn't understand, there was a burst of excitement for no reason, as if he was going to witness something big happen.
"I heard that, since that's the case, I'll wait here. It will be very dangerous at that time, you'd better go down the mountain to avoid it."
"us… "
You Yu was cautious, Fang wanted to leave, You Le threw him aside and said anxiously: "We don't want to leave, we don't want to leave!"
"Arbitrary, safe and self-respecting."
Gu Yu leaped lightly, onto the roof of the second floor of the library, and pia lay down there, ignoring him.
