The grim-faced Taoist priest thought for a moment, but in the end he didn't understand what was going on. He could only say that he should take a walk and see, so he quickly passed through the Baiwen Palace and headed towards the next palace.
After walking through the diagonally upward corridor, the plaque of the palace in front appeared in the thick fog. This palace is called "Yaoxian Palace". When you enter it, you can see that the person worshiping is an old man. The tablet shows that this person's name is " "White Tongue" is the only son of Aunt Bai.
"What a strange name." The grim-faced Taoist priest secretly said, "This person is the Medicine Immortal of the Bai family. Did he choose such a name because he wanted to taste hundreds of medicines himself?"
The grim-faced Taoist priest stood in front of the statue, contemplating, and suddenly frowned, as if he remembered something, and murmured: "Aren't all the people worshiping in this temple the Bai family?"
Regarding this idea, the Taoist Ghost Face came up with it when he first saw the name of the temple. If this place is dedicated to the Wulu Immortal Family, there is no reason to call it Bai Lao Temple, but the Immortal Family Temple as Zhao Ermu said. Since If this place can be called Bai Lao Temple, it only means that this is a temple dedicated solely to the Bai family.
This is strange. Zhao Ermu said before that this was the Xianjia Temple, but when he arrived, he found out that it was the Bailao Temple, and the hidden language also hinted that the Huixian Temple seemed to be here. What was going on?
Thinking of this, the grim-faced Taoist no longer searched anxiously, but walked to the window. He carefully recalled the cryptic words Meng Qingyao gave, and felt that they could indeed correspond to each other one by one. Moreover, this cryptic language was not as complicated as he first thought. Laugh." Maybe I was overthinking it. It didn't refer to time at all, but generally meant that this was the territory of the Immortal Family.
So the contradiction now is that several clues refer to the same place, but the place names are different. Let’s remove the Xianjia Temple mentioned by Zhao Ermu here, because after all, it is a hearsay rumor, but Bailao Temple and Huixian Temple are different. How to explain? Could this be a temple-within-a-temple layout?
Thinking of this grim-faced Taoist priest, he suddenly remembered an interesting anecdote he had heard about. It was an old man telling about the Five Immortals Family. He said that although the Immortal Family belonged to the same lineage, they were not so harmonious with each other. "Cunning and two good", among which willow is evil, Hu Huang is cunning, and white gray is good. The three parties are not very good at dealing with each other. It is even more taboo to enshrine them in a temple. This is why I heard Zhao Ermu say that this place is called After entering the Xianjia Temple, I felt surprised.
There are many folk rumors about the grievances between Xianjia Temple, but Taoist Ghostface believes that the most fundamental reason is the predatory chain between species. The prototypes of the fairy family are all animals, and there is a predatory relationship between them. Hedgehogs and mice are both at the bottom of this predatory chain, and the fairy system that evolved from it will inevitably be affected by this aspect, so it came into being. This is the saying of "Five Immortals and Three Sects".
According to this statement, it is impossible for the three immortals Hu, Huang and Liu to appear in the White Immortal Temple, but it is not surprising that there is a Gray Immortal. If combined with the words of the old man, does it mean that it is very likely that the White Immortal is playing tricks on the Gray Immortal here? Temple within a temple layout?
Where is the Gray Immortal Temple? Could it be deeper in the courtyard?
The grim-faced Taoist priest stared at the window lattice and his thoughts were getting further and further. At this moment, something Zhao Ermu said suddenly came to mind - he said that this place was originally a temple, enshrining a blue-faced Bodhisattva, and there was an underground palace in the temple... An underground palace that has never been discovered...
If the underground palace that even the renovation craftsmen hadn't discovered existed, it would be a great place to hide secrets.
The Taoist Priest with a grimace inexplicably associated the Underground Palace with the Gray Immortal Temple, because only the Gray Immortal Temple was hidden so deeply that it was worthy of the old man's word "good fortune".
The more the Grimace Taoist thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was correct. There might be a strange beast of the Immortal family Taibao hiding in the Gray Immortal Temple. If people could find it casually, then how could the Iron-armored Tomb-piercing Beast be as mysterious as it is now? ?
"It seems that the Gray Immortal Temple is probably in the underground palace." The grim-faced Taoist priest murmured. As he was speaking, there was a loud bang from the door of the palace next to him, and then a red shadow fell from the door.
The grim-faced Taoist priest suddenly came to his senses, rushed over and pulled the door open, and was surprised to find that it was He Siniang lying on the ground.
Seeing this, the Taoist priest with a grimace hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you, Siniang?!" At the same time, he stepped forward to support her.
He Siniang got up after hearing the sound, stretched her muscles a little and replied: "The temple
There's something dirty in there! "As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand in front of the ghost-faced Taoist priest, and saw that she was holding a ball-shaped thing in her hand.
"Is this a hedgehog?" The grim-faced Taoist priest took the thing and found that it was a dead hedgehog. Its body was covered with scars, especially the cut on its neck, which was so deep that the bones were visible.
He Siniang leaned against the doorpost, glanced diagonally upward, and then said, "I saw this on the edge of the cliff above. I just bent down to pick it up when someone suddenly pushed me from behind."
"Have you got any evil ideas?" the Taoist priest with a grimace asked.
He Siniang shook her head: "It's true that she was pushed, but when I fell down, I heard a thief's laughter coming from behind. The laughter was very much like the yellow skin I met before."
"Did those damn beasts follow you to the temple?" The Taoist priest with a grimace frowned and said, "The old man before clearly..." As he said this, he subconsciously glanced at the hedgehog in his hand and saw that its burrs were all white. The Taoist priest with a grimace was speechless for a moment. There was a vague feeling of strangeness.
He Siniang coughed twice, shook off the flying eagle lock in her hand, and said: "The thick fog in the valley covered everything, and I almost thought my life was about to die. Fortunately, I hooked the cornice as I approached, but because the distance was too close, I bumped into the palace door all the time."
"Are you hurt?"
"It should be fine, but Taoist priest, a dead hedgehog in Baixian Temple is not a good thing!"
"I understand, let's talk in the palace first."
The Taoist priest with a grimace led He Siniang into the Yaoxiang Temple. He first placed the dead hedgehog on the altar, then turned to He Siniang and said, "These beasts are really seeking revenge. They even broke into the temple to attack us. They It must be because the thick fog blocks the sun at this time that we dare to be so reckless. It seems that we cannot relax our vigilance until the fog clears."
"It's okay if we are prepared. Are we still afraid of those beasts? But we must not separate. The top priority now is to join Zhao Ermu."
"Yes, without further ado, let's leave now."
After saying that, the two started to return along the original route. On the way, the Taoist priest with a grimace asked, "Where did you search up there? Did you find anything?"
He Siniang shook her head and replied: "They are all immortals with the surname Bai. I haven't seen anyone from the Dou family. I searched almost half of the yard... Taoist priest, do you think this is the Bai Immortal Temple?"
