Chapter 16 Attic

As time goes by, more and more monks gather on the cliff. If the newcomers see someone they know well, they will come up to chat and join their own circles. Those who do not have friends are just like the previous loners, looking for a place to go. Sitting cross-legged and flirting with people. Among them, the two largest circles were headed by Feng Qingshan who had just arrived, and the other was Jiang Sheng.

"Master, there are more and more people." Li Chuyi said.

The Taoist priest closed his breathing and did not speak.

"This rogue Taoist priest!" Li Chuyi rolled his eyes secretly.

Looking at the crowd around him, Li Chuyi scratched his head and asked: "Master, what are we here for this time? Are we also hunting for treasures like them?"

The Taoist priest opened his eyes slightly and said, "Yes, and no."

"What do you mean?" Li Chuyi was confused.

After a slight pause, the Taoist priest explained: "Yes, it means that we are looking for things just like them. No, it means that we are looking for things with a purpose, while they are just blind cats wandering around based on luck." Scan the After looking around, the Taoist priest said: "Anything that these silly geese can call a treasure is no different from rubbish to me. What I am looking for is the most valuable thing in the Wuyang Tomb. These silly geese Even if you see a good life, you can’t take it away.”

"What thing?" Li Chu suddenly became curious. If a Taoist priest can call it a good thing, it must be right.

The Taoist priest was silent for a while and whispered: "The Ghost Sutra."

"The Book of Ghosts?"

"Yes, the "Ghost Sutra"." The Taoist priest nodded and explained: "The "Ghost Sutra" is the holy book of ghosts, written by a great master of the ghost clan a long time ago. This great master of the ghost clan cultivated it in the body of a ghost. A true immortal, before his ascension, he compiled what he had learned throughout his life into the "Ghost Sutra". It is said that it contains all kinds of methods for ghost cultivation and expounds the core secrets of ghosts and gods becoming immortals. It is as precious as our Taoist holy book "The Tao Jing" "I came here to see if I could find this book and take a look at it."

"You are not a ghost cultivator. Even if you get the "Ghost Sutra", you can't practice it. So what's the use of it?" Li Chuyi was a little puzzled. "Could it be that you can't think of committing suicide to cultivate ghosts?"

Snapped!

Sure enough, he got slapped again.

Looking at the little fat man who was rubbing his head, the Taoist priest said bitterly: "You bastard, can't you just think about me? What are you thinking about all day long?"

Unable to hold back, he slapped him again, and then he said calmly: "Master, I read the "Ghost Sutra" because I didn't want to die. I have encountered some bottlenecks in my practice recently, so I want to learn more about the classic exercises of heretics. See if you can get some inspiration. It should be noted that all paths in the world lead to the same destination. Although the techniques are different, some of the core spiritual meanings are the same. When you reach a bottleneck, it is useless to just practice hard. What is needed is enlightenment. If you see more and understand more, maybe you will have a flash of inspiration and the bottleneck will be broken naturally. "

Li Chu suddenly understood and asked, "Is this why you took me to see the Tiger Demon King a few years ago?"

The Taoist priest nodded: "Yes, the reason why I went to find the Tiger Demon King that time was because I heard that the demon clan's holy book "Demon Code" was in the hands of the tiger demon king. Who would have thought that after reading it, he discovered that the demon king's It is only a small part of the "Demon Canon" and is of little use to my teacher. This time, I came here after going through many researches. I am 50% sure that the final chapter of the "Ghost Book", the holy book of the ghost clan. One of the owners is the old monster Wuyang who has five souls in his body, and it is very likely that the old monster Wuyang hid the "Ghost Sutra" in the tomb he built for himself before his death. "

Having said this, the Taoist priest glanced at Li Chuyi and said, "Speaking of which, I brought you here this time because you will be of great use as my teacher."

Li Chuyi looked at the Taoist priest stupidly: "Me?"

The Taoist priest nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it's you."

"However, I have been practicing for only ten years in total. Look at the people around me and the monsters opposite. If it weren't for you, Master, anyone could crush me to death with just one finger. How can I help? I thought you brought me here this time to open my eyes and gain insights." Li Chuyi said with a frown, "Master, you won't sell me out, will you? Did you sacrifice like that? Master, I’m still young and haven’t lived enough yet!”

The Taoist priest couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said: "Selling you? How much can I sell you for? And a sacrifice? With your life so bad, let alone no one dares to accept the sacrifice after the sacrifice, even if you want to die... ..." The Taoist priest paused, as if he didn't want to say anything. He paused and said, "Don't worry, I'm here not to sell you, but not to kill you. I've brought you here to help you become my teacher." road.”

Li Chuyi didn't pay attention to the Taoist priest's unfinished words. When the Taoist priest asked him to help him find the way, he asked strangely: "Do I know the way? I've never been here, how can I know the way?"

"We'll know when the time comes." The Taoist priest looked unfathomable.

When Li Chuyi wanted to ask again, he heard a sudden "rumbling" sound coming from the ground. He turned around and saw that the plain in front of him that was still glowing with light fluorescence suddenly became radiant, and As the sounds from underground became louder and louder, the light became more and more dazzling.

The Taoist priest beside him glanced at the blue moon in the sky, counted with his fingers, and said: "The time has come, the formation is about to open."

As soon as the Taoist priest finished speaking, a strong light flashed by, and Li Chuyi quickly closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes, the plain that was shining brightly just now was gone, replaced by a majestic palace group shining with golden light. Li Chuyi had seen the appearance of the palace from a distance, but Li Chuyi felt that the magnificent palace that he felt was like a fairy palace was slightly inferior to the golden palace in front of him.

"Master, Master, is this the cenotaph of the old monster Wuyang? Such a large area, it looks like it is made of pure gold, is this a cenotaph?! How much does it cost! The old monster Wuyang is too rich!" Li Chuyi said incoherently.

The Taoist couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "You country bumpkin, are you shocked by a few gold and silver? For people of our generation who practice cultivation, what are material things? Our own cultivation is the real thing. You stupid disciple, when will you be able to see through the worldly things?"

Li Chuyi also rolled his eyes, thinking that you spend a lot of money visiting brothels all day long, and I have been poor with you and have never seen the world and money. Is it okay? Blame me?

Fearing a beating, he dared not say this. Seeing that the Taoist had summoned the big gourd, Li Chuyi quickly jumped up and found a comfortable pit to sit cross-legged.

The Taoist saw Li Chuyi sitting down, stretched out his hand and pointed directly at the palace complex in front, and the big gourd immediately turned into a stream of light and flew away quickly. Other people on the cliffs around him, like the Taoist priest, used their magic to turn into light and left. Some people or monsters who couldn't fly jumped down from the cliff and ran quickly, and their speed was not much slower than that of the flying man.

The journey of fifty miles was reached in a flash. The palace seemed majestic when seen from a distance just now, and it felt even bigger when seen from close up.

In front of the two gates that were nearly a hundred feet high, everyone shuttled in like fireflies. After entering the door, tall buildings were arranged in rows, covering each other, and the already huge palace was like a maze.

Some people wanted to fly up to see the road, but before they flew to the height of the eaves, they were pressed down by an invisible force. A few people who didn't believe in evil, raised their whole body's skills and squeezed up, and suddenly thunder exploded, and several thunders from nowhere struck these "unfair" people. After the thunder, only green smoke was left, not even ash.

Now, everyone knew how powerful it was, and they no longer dared to fly upwards. They looked at each other, but didn't say anything. They each chose a path that they felt was right, and then they scattered to find their own opportunities.

"Silly goose." The Taoist cursed, and took Li Chuyi, without even looking, and rushed in after finding a path.

They rushed all the way at lightning speed, and when they came to a fork in the road, the Taoist didn't even look, and directly chose a path to fly over. Sometimes, even when there was no road, blocked by a bush or directly a wall, the Taoist rushed over without looking, and only found that it was a sleight of hand after rushing over. Li Chuyi understood that the Taoist was familiar with the place, and it was definitely not his first time.

"Master, have you been here before?" Li Chuyi asked.

"I've been here three times." The Taoist replied.

The Wuyang Tomb was opened once every sixty years, and the Taoist had been here three times. Counting this time, it would be 240 years. Think about those people on the cliff just now, basically they have more than a hundred years of skills, some of them are even more than two hundred years, so the Taoist priest must have practiced for at least four or five hundred years. Think about the Taoist priest's skills that can even break up the heavenly calamity, so the actual age of the Taoist priest is probably a terrifying number.

"It's really an old monster!" Li Chuyi was secretly shocked, "It's a shame that he pretends to be a handsome young man of about thirty years old all day long!"

The Taoist priest didn't know Li Chuyi's dirty thoughts. If he knew, I don't know if he would really turn him into a pig head, or maybe he would be slapped to death directly.

The palace is magnificent, and all kinds of rare landscapes are dazzling. Li Chuyi was amazed again and again. But no matter how beautiful and strange the scenery is, if you look at it for more than half an hour, you will get aesthetic fatigue. In the end, Li Chuyi was no longer surprised, and even a little bored. Even the courtyard wall that was carved from white marble for hundreds of meters just now was indifferent, without any excitement.

The Taoist stopped in front of a loft and motioned Li Chuyi to come down.

Looking up, I saw that the loft was different from common buildings. It was pentagonal and divided into five floors. At first glance, the wall looked like it was painted with a layer of golden red paint, but if you look closely, you can see a faint metallic luster on it. It was actually cast with extremely pure red gold. The eaves were green and covered with fine colored glaze. There was an unknown strange beast standing on each of the five eaves, some with their arms folded on their chests, some pretending to pounce, some crouching, some stepping on auspicious clouds, and some roaring to the sky. Li Chuyi could only recognize that the strange beast stepping on the auspicious clouds seemed to be a sheep. I wonder if it was the body of the Five Goats Monster.

Compared with the golden and priceless building, the door of the loft really looked extremely ordinary. It was just two ordinary wooden doors, without even any patterns or decorations. They just stood there. If you look closely, the gray-brown surface was even a little peeling. Li Chuyi was surprised that such a "precious" building used such a cheap door.

"Do you think this door doesn't match this building?" The Taoist asked with a smile, as if he knew what Li Chuyi was thinking.

Li Chuyi nodded.

The Taoist priest laughed when he saw this, and said with a smile: "You are a country bumpkin, but you still don't want to. You have eyes that don't recognize gold and jade. The most valuable thing about this building is these two doors. If you really count, ten floors plus It’s not necessarily as valuable as these two doors.”

Seeing Li Chuyi looking at him with eyes wide open and disbelief on his face, the Taoist priest laughed again and explained: "These two doors may seem ordinary, but they actually have a lot of origins. The wood used to make the doors is the soul of a dead soul who has been dead for thousands of years. Wood is of no use to living people, but to undead ghosts, it is a treasure! This wood not only has the effect of nourishing souls and wind spirits, but is also the best place for ghosts to hide their souls, and it can also be used for cultivation. This piece of wood is extremely rare. The ones that can be seen on the market in the past are the size of a palm, and the largest one is no more than the size of a human head. Except for the old monster Wuyang, I have never seen such two pieces before. Oh, I don’t know where this old monster got it from back then, he’s really lucky!” The Taoist sighed with a look on his face.

Li Chu's mouth watered down.

The Taoist priest seemed to have disappeared and continued: "My master said that even ten golden towers cannot replace these two doors. This is because this golden tower was sacrificed and refined by the five-goat old monster. It is considered a magic weapon. If we just talk about this There is absolutely no comparison between gold and silver and other things.”

Not only was Li Chuyi drooling, but his eyes almost popped out after hearing this.

How valuable this is! Even Taoist priests say it is a treasure, so that is definitely true! It just so happened that I had Zi Yuan and Wu Gui around me. I would dismantle the doors later, sell one, and give the other as a gift to them. They would definitely be very happy. No, they are already dead, they should be happy to be alive!

Seeing Li Chuyi drooling and looking obscene, the Taoist smiled evilly and asked, "Do you want to take it off and take it away?"

Li Chu nodded wildly like a chicken pecking at rice.

"It shouldn't be taken away!" A cold voice came, and a purple mist drifted past. It turned out that Zi Yuan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, came out of the magic mirror.

Li Chu's eyes turned red immediately: "Why?"

Ziyuan sighed quietly and said: "Just when I stopped, I felt that this wooden door was of great benefit to me. I tried to live in it, but found that I couldn't get in at all. There was a force protecting this wooden door. I was excluded. And I felt that if I tried to break through the outer layer of protection, I would probably lose my mind.”

When Li Chu heard this, he looked at the Taoist priest and was dumbfounded when he saw the Taoist priest nodding in agreement: "Why?"

The Taoist priest smiled evilly and explained: "I just said that this building has been sacrificed and refined by the Five Yang Old Monster. This door belongs to this building. Of course, it was also sacrificed together. Now they are one body, equivalent to one If you want to take it away by force, you will be fighting against the entire building. Even if you have great skills and can withstand the counterattack of this building, the entire building will be destroyed. This door will also disappear with the destruction of the entire building, and you will get nothing in the end."

Looking at Li Chuyi with a stupid look on his face, the Taoist priest said quietly: "If I could take it away, would it be your turn? As a teacher, I would have taken it away for him a long time ago. I saw such a good thing but couldn't take it away, why? The teacher is also heartbroken and bleeding!"

Li Chu kept staring blankly at the two broken doors in front of him, gritting his teeth.

The five-goat old monster who can kill a thousand swords is so stingy. You deserve to die if you fail in cultivation!
