After passing through the jungle, Yu Yi came to a small temple, entered the gate, and saw a statue of an amiable old man with a long beard and eyebrows. The first half of his head was bald, like a longevity star.
Or when you hear the footsteps of someone entering, a Taoist priest comes out of the temple and salutes Yu Yi.
"Little Taoist priest, are you the only one here?"
Yuyi was curious and asked.
The little Taoist priest smiled and said nothing, and replied: "Aren't you and I still there?"
Yu Yi thought to himself, why is this young Taoist priest in the temple so rude, pretending to be me when they meet, and does he need to be taught a lesson? He put up a posture, and when the other party made rude remarks again, he directly drew his halberd.
Naturally, the little Taoist priest also observed Yu Yi's reaction, shook his head and said: "This temple is a Taoist temple, called Shangqing Temple. It was created by Laozi. It is said that he lived in seclusion here and practiced elixirs. This temple The statue is an example of his service.”
After finishing speaking, the little Taoist priest took Yu Yi to an alchemy room, which indeed contained an alchemy furnace.
Only then did Yu Yi realize that he had made a mistake. The Lao Tzu the little Taoist said was not the Lao Tzu he understood.
After having a fast meal at the Taoist temple at noon, Yu Yi personally worshiped Lao Tzu, put some spare money in the merit box, and then got up and left.
Going further east, there are some earth mounds. Yu Yi came to a slightly higher place, looked down, and found countless earth bags of large and small below. In order to figure out what these earth bags were, Yu Yi Yi had no choice but to continue walking in this direction.
Near Tubao, Yu Yi met an old man. He introduced the situation to Yu Yi. Mang Mountain is located on the south bank of the Yellow River and is a branch of Xiao Mountain. The Yiluo Water passes through the city from west to east, and it is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The pillow on the mountain and the river is the ideal burial place for emperors. Those numerous large and small mounds are the tombs of emperors of all dynasties. In addition, some dignitaries and royal ministers are also buried.
Yu Yi roughly counted these mounds, and there were always hundreds of them. The scale of the mounds made him marvel. If it were put to this day, such a complete group of ancient tombs must have very good cultural relic research value.
Through the conversation, Yu Yi learned that this old man was the guardian of the Mang Mountain tombs. The old man probably hadn’t talked to anyone for a long time. He was so happy that he started telling the story of the origin of Mang Mountain. Yu Yi couldn’t interrupt. , can only listen patiently.
According to legend, in ancient times, there lived an old Taoist and his two young disciples on Kunlun Mountain. In order to become immortals as soon as possible, they meditated in a fairy cave all day long.
One day, the old Taoist said to two disciples: "I am going to visit a friend in the outer world. What is boiling in this big pot is a python caught from the East China Sea. Firewood must be placed under the pot from time to time, and water must be added to the pot from time to time. , be sure to remember it!" After saying that, he rode on the crane and left.
In this way, the two disciples put firewood in the pot every day and added water to the pot from time to time. Hundreds of years have passed by like this, and the master has not returned yet, so the two young disciples are a little anxious.
One day, one of the disciples said to the other: "Master will not come back until hundreds of years later. Why don't we go down the mountain to have fun?" The other disciple had already had this intention. So the two of them lit a prosperous fire, filled the pot with water, and went down the mountain.
They had fun along the way, but they couldn't bear to worry about what the master told them, so they bought some wine and meat in a hotel and hurried back. However, the fire had been extinguished long ago, and the water had been drank up by the yellow python. The yellow python was seen escaping towards the East China Sea, leaving a yellow waterway where it passed. The two of them hurriedly chased along the Yellow Waterway. The yellow python discovered them and hurriedly changed its route and ran north. They hurriedly took a shortcut to intercept it. When they saw it, the python turned around and ran towards the East China Sea again. The waterway left by this python is today's Jiuqu Yellow River.
Besides, when the master returned to Xiandong, he saw that the fire at the bottom of the pot had been extinguished for a long time, and the yellow python was no longer in the pot. He didn't even respond when he was called a disciple, and he understood everything. He shouted: "The two little beasts let the evil python go, and it will cause harm to the world again." He immediately chased after it on a crane.
The two young disciples chased the python until dark, and saw the python escaping into the East China Sea. Just as they were about to take a rest, the master arrived on a crane. He shouted loudly: "Beasts! You two caused the yellow python to bring disaster to the world, so you two will guard this waterway forever!" After saying that, the two young disciples turned into two mountains and guarded this waterway forever. On both sides of the waterway, people call the yellow waterway left by the yellow python the Yellow River, and the mountain the two young disciples turned into is called Zhui Python Mountain. Later, people on the south bank of the Yellow River felt that Chai Mang Mountain was unpleasant, so they changed its name to Mang Mountain.
The old man seemed to have taken a sip of water, as if he was tired from talking. Yu Yi took this opportunity to express his opinion, saying: "The tasks assigned by the master should be completed with quality and quantity, but he should also consider the habits of the disciples and boil them in water." , after Huang Boang escaped, the two disciples tried their best to make up for it, and finally chased them to Mang Mountain. They tried their best, but now that it was like this, the master still wanted to turn them into Mang Mountain, but his own magic power was more powerful. Powerful, if one of the disciples is more powerful, can the master have this ability? From this point of view, the master is also responsible."
The old man felt the emotion of indignation and looked at Yuyi with slight surprise, and said: "I have told this story to many passers-by. Everyone thinks that the disciples made the mistake first and they should be punished. How dare you bring this up?" Different opinions.”
"so what!"
Yu Yi disagreed.
The old man did not argue with Yuyi anymore. Looking at the approaching night sky, he suggested that Yuyi stay here for the night and start his journey tomorrow. Yu Yi thought that there were tombs in front of him, and it would definitely be scary to go any further, so he readily agreed.
This is the first time Yu Yi has lived in a place like this. The roof is made of straw, the house is made of mud, and the doors and windows are made of wood. Or they have been there for too long and cannot be closed at all. As for There were probably a few layers of dust on that bed, but fortunately Yuyi tidied it up and it was still neat.
As soon as he lay on the bed, Yu Yi felt that the atmosphere in the whole room was wrong. It always felt cold and cold. Occasionally, there would be some noises coming from outside the door. Yu Yi thought it was the old man coming over, but when he went out, there was no one there. After this time, Yu Yi was completely panicked. Could it be that it was haunted?
In order to make himself fall asleep, Yu Yi had to cover himself completely under the quilt, thinking that this would isolate him from outside interference and have a good sleep. He didn't expect that the sound would still not decrease, and sometimes he even felt like someone was touching him outside the quilt.
This time Yu Yi became angry and shouted: "Do you want anyone to sleep with you? If you have the guts, just come out. What kind of hero do you think you are?"
After shouting, Yu Yi felt emboldened, but the contrast caused by being silent again made him fall into fear again.
Thinking that the old man guarding the tomb still lived here every day, he felt that the other party was really powerful, and some things were really not something ordinary people could do.
