After four thrilling hours, everyone finally arrived at the foot of Mount Emei at noon.
Different from the scorching heat in Rongcheng, the temperature at the foot of Mount Emei is pleasant. There are clouds and mist in the mountains, and occasionally a few white cranes pass by, adding a bit of mystery.
Xiao Queer drove her car and stopped at the entrance of the scenic spot. She took a handwritten letter and handed it to the work director on duty at the door. After a while, the director personally came out to let her go.
Outside vehicles were originally prohibited from entering the scenic spot, and it was still a long way from the entrance of the scenic spot to their meeting place today, so Uncle Qiu cleared the relationship in advance and got this handwritten letter to let their car You can drive directly into the scenic spot.
As the car drove into the scenic area, everything that came into view was green and the forest was full of birds singing and the fragrance of flowers. Yan Shouyi also began to appreciate this different scenery.
Is this where grandma was born and raised?
He touched the Yinmu in his arms and asked in a low voice: "Grandma, we have arrived at Mount Emei. Do you want to come out and have a look?"
Wen Yuxian replied: "I've been watching... but this is just the foot of the mountain. Even I haven't been here a few times, so I don't have any feelings. You can call me again when you get to the mountain."
Grandma was in a low mood and was not happy about returning to her hometown. However, Yan Shouyi guessed that as long as they went to the real Mount Emei and arrived at the Wannian Temple in Mount Emei, grandma would be moved by the scene and her mood would naturally improve.
If that didn't work, Yan Shouyi could only come up with his trump card - on the way back, he would go to Longhu Mountain to find his godfather Zhang Shantong and ask him to coax his grandma.
After driving on the mountain road for about half an hour, the car finally stopped in front of a square.
The square is about half the size of a football field, with a huge stone standing in the middle with the word "Tai'e" written on it, which is overwhelming.
Behind the boulders, there is a narrow path paved with bluestone slabs, winding all the way up with no end in sight.
At this moment, there were about twenty people standing in the square, both men and women, but judging from their clothes, they were probably disciples of two sects.
One group of disciples were wearing cyan robes. The design of the robes was very novel, with a charm that combined new and ancient styles. These disciples did not have long hair tied up like the Longhu Mountain disciples, but all had short hair.
The other group of disciples were neatly dressed in white uniforms. They were generally strong and strong, standing as if they were on the loose and walking like the wind. Their gestures and gestures all revealed the flavor of martial arts practitioners. Outsiders did not know this and thought they were participating in martial arts competitions. athlete.
This square is already a restricted area for tourists, so there are no outsiders. Otherwise, the scene in front of us will definitely attract onlookers.
The two groups of people in the square were immediately aware of the sudden arrival of a commercial vehicle. They stopped talking and stared at the commercial vehicle.
After Xiaoqueer parked the car, he turned to Yan Shouyi and said:
"President, we are here. These are the disciples of Qingcheng Mountain and Dianyi Sect who are going up the mountain with you this time."
Qingcheng Mountain?
DianYipai?
Yan Shouyi observed Xiao Queer's expression and found something was wrong with her, so he asked, "Why don't you get out of the car?"
Xiaoqueer was obedient and spoke very little: "Can I not get out of the car?"
If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Ye Tianyuan glanced outside and whispered: "President, they look at us as if they are hostile."
Long Feicheng immediately stretched out his two claws, making a grasping gesture, and threatened Xiao Queer: "Are you hiding something from us? We are very sensitive!"
"Get out of the way!" Yan Shou slapped Long Feicheng's claws away, reminding him that Xiaoque'er was still a little sister.
Xiao Queer said vaguely: "They are hostile to the successors of folk sects."
"Oh why?"
Seeing that it was up to him to explain, Xiao Queer sighed and seemed to sort out his thoughts. When he finally opened his mouth, it was like a flood bursting its embankments, and he spoke eloquently:
"Qingchengshan and Dianyi sects are both famous sects in Xichuan. Qingchengshan belongs to Taoist sect, while Dianyi sect is more of a Jianghu martial arts sect. However, due to the influence of Taoist sect, the disciples of Dianyi sect are more or less Taoist. Spells.”
"Once upon a time, Qingcheng Mountain was also very popular and belonged to the top sect in Xichuan. In ancient times, Qingcheng Mountain was collectively known as the Five Fairy Mountains together with Wudang Mountain in northern Hunan, Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi, Qiyun Mountain in Huizhou, and Jingfu Mountain in Sanqin. It is said that Zhang Daoling preached in Qingcheng Mountain. And emerge into the mountains.”
"It's a pity that later Buddhism flourished and Emei rose. During the Ming Dynasty, Qingcheng Mountain was affected by wars and the Taoist priests were scattered. It is difficult to regain its former glory. Today, it is only a second-rate sect in Xichuan."
"This time there was a collective loss of contact in Mount Emei, and the contemporary Celestial Master Yu Luming came forward, so Qingcheng Mountain and the Dianyi Sect sent personnel to investigate. It was not because the Celestial Master did it intentionally, but because something fishy happened in Mount Emei, and there was no guarantee that there was someone on the mountain. If there is any danger, other small sects may not be able to cope with it, and the only ones who have the ability to come to investigate are the Qingcheng Mountain and Dianyi sects."
Yan Shouyi interrupted: "Tell me the important point."
Xiao Que'er said "Oh" weakly, coughed twice and continued:
"The contemporary head of the Qingcheng Sect is Taoist Master Jin Bi, the head of the Chang Taoist Temple in Qingcheng Mountain, and the head of the Dianyi Sect is Huang Qingcang. Both of their families have a deep hatred for the successors of the folk sects. Under their influence, Qingcheng Mountain and Dian Yi Sect have Disciples of the Yi sect also hate the successors of folk sects, and Uncle Qiu and I never deal with them..."
"It is said that more than thirty years ago, there was a severe drought in Xichuan, followed by famine. When the leader of the Qingcheng Sect, Jin Bi, was relieving the victims at the foot of the mountain, he met a shadow puppet troupe. The group was already hungry. When they were dying, Taoist Master Jinbi saw how pitiful they were, so he took them back to Changdao Temple, took them in temporarily, and gave them food and drink."
"It turns out that these shadow puppet show descendants were ungrateful after eating and drinking enough. Seeing that Taoist Jinbi's daughter was kind-hearted, they secretly defiled his daughter while Taoist Jinbi was going down the mountain to relieve the victims, and finally ran away. Taoist Jinbi Because my daughter lost her innocence, she jumped off a cliff and committed suicide in shame and anger."
"When Taoist Jinbi heard the news and came over, he only saw his daughter's body, but there was no trace of the shadow puppet show descendants, and there was no information about their whereabouts. He couldn't take revenge for decades... So much so that now, Taoist Jinbi has expressed his dissatisfaction with the folk sect. The descendants hate the descendants with deep hatred, especially the descendants of the shadow puppet show.”
"It is said that Taoist Master Jinbi still can't let go and refuses to let his daughter's body be buried. He must find those scum and let them bury his daughter with him."
Having said this, Xiaoqueer silently glanced at Ye Tianyuan.
Ye Tianyuan shuddered and thought to himself: President, I suddenly have a stomachache, can you not get off the car?
However, in order to leave a good impression on Yan Shouyi, Ye Tianyuan could only bite the bullet and keep his words in his stomach.
Yan Shouyi coughed twice and asked: "Let's not mention Taoist Jinbi, why does the head of Huang Qing Canghuang hate folk sects?"
Xiaoqueer sighed and said slowly:
"Headmaster Huang Qingcang was not a direct disciple of the Dian Yi sect. He was born in an ordinary mountain village under Qingcheng Mountain. Because his parents could not afford to raise a child, they had no choice but to send him to the Dian Yi sect to learn martial arts. The Dian Yi sect has strict rules. In order to allow the disciples to concentrate on learning martial arts, we require them to cut off all contact with their families while they are at the mountain gate, and they cannot go home to visit them until they have left school."
"Headmaster Huang has been going up the mountain for a full ten years. After he completed his studies and returned home, he learned that his parents and younger brother had died five years ago. According to the villagers in the same village, that year, A guy who claimed to be the heir of ancient medicine came to the village and claimed that Mr. Huang was bitten by a tiger in the mountains and his life was in danger. Only by sacrificing the lives of his blood relatives to refine the elixir could he save his life."
"When Headmaster Huang's parents learned about it, they cried for three days. Finally, they jumped into the river with his younger brother in tears and died. The ancient doctor took their souls and made them into elixirs, saying they were sent to the Dian Yi sect. Help, but Master Huang knows that being bitten by a tiger is a lie made up by ancient doctors, and the purpose is just to get a few souls who are willing to be refined into elixirs."
"If Master Huang hadn't come back, the people in the village might have been kept in the dark. Unfortunately, three years have passed, and his relatives have long since lost their bodies and souls, and the ancient doctors have disappeared without a trace. , No matter how hard Master Huang searches, he can’t find the whereabouts of his enemy, so Master Huang also hates the folk sects with all his heart, and even a little bit of the Yi sect..."
Having said this, Xiao Que'er sighed and said somewhat depressedly:
"Actually, Xichuan is not very friendly to folk sects. Except for Emeishan, other famous sects are suppressing folk sects. There is a face-changing master who has special skills, but he can only perform in hot pot restaurants."
Yan Shouyi was silent for a while. He realized that he still had a long way to go before he wanted to rectify the name of the folk sect and let the folk sect flourish.
There was a time when the war was in chaos, the people were starved of food, and human nature was being tested every day. The followers of folk sects lacked restraint, and there would definitely be some people who used their unique skills to do evil.
These are just a few mouse droppings that ruined the whole pot of porridge.
These people have had a huge impact on the image of folk sects. Yan Shouyi does not deny or avoid their existence, but what you need to know is that some people in folk sects also maintain their innocence and take it as their own duty to save the people of the world.
Yan Shouyi still wants everyone to coexist peacefully, but...
“There’s a long way to go!”
He said leisurely: "No matter what, you have to face it first. Let's go, let's get off the car together and meet our friends from Qingcheng Mountain and Dianyi Sect."
Everyone was mentally prepared in the car, and then Yan Shouyi took the lead to get out of the car.
There was silence in the square. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Yan Shouyi and his party. Even Long Feicheng felt uncomfortable.
Not to mention the social-phobic otaku Zhuge Ji. He felt like he was crawling with ants and wanted to dig a hole and bury his head in it to avoid the unfriendly eyes of these people.
