The Way of the Mysterious Dust

"Xuan Chen Dao Tu (

In the dead of night, there are only a few lights left in the entire Jiuzheng County. There is an old house in the east of the city. From the large stone lions erected by the gates, and the spacious courtyards that are connected back and forth, you can see that it is a big family.

However, in the courtyard of Nuo University, there were no maidservants or servants walking around, nor were they visible in the corridors or the main house with lights. It was very quiet, as if uninhabited.

However, there is an ancestral hall in the backyard of the old house. From the crack of the door of the ancestral hall, a candle light is printed out. Looking inward through the crack of the door, there are many tablets and incense in the ancestral hall.

There are various sacrifices on the mahogany altar table in the hall, such as big fish, big meat, fragrant rice, etc. There is a copper incense burner in front of the altar table, surrounded by smoke, and there are two rows of long incense candles beside it. Light up the whole ancestral hall.

"Squeak, squeak!" The wooden door of the ancestral hall opened without wind. A young Taoist dressed in Taoist robes walked into the hall. The young Taoist had a heavy face and walked slowly to the altar. He took three short incenses from the altar and lit them. Kneel on the futon in front of the incense burner, hold the incense and leaned over and bowed.

"Unscrupulous child Liu Yu is back!" The man who kneeled on the ground was Liu Yu who had returned from the north. He looked up at the top row of the altar. There were two tablets of Liu Qing and Mrs. Ai at that moment, young Taoist. Can not help but red eyes, failing to send the two elders to the end, it will be his life's shame.

"Xuanyu went to different borders for a hundred years in order to seek immortal fate. He failed to send the two elders to the end. I hope that the two elders can forgive Yuer's selfish actions." Inserting the incense in his hand into the copper incense burner, Liu Yu picked up the hip flask next to the incense burner. Pour a bottle of sacrificial wine, hold it high, and slowly fall to the altar.

After the worship, Liu Yu knelt quietly in the ancestral hall. The wind rose late at night, and a tight wind blew into the ancestral hall, blowing off the scroll of hanging paintings on the right wall, and the long drawing papers falling with the wind. , Just beside Liu Yu, who was kneeling quietly in front of the incense burner, the paper was spread out, it was a portrait.

There is a young Taoist floating in the dust on the drawing paper. He is tasting tea under Cangsong. The young Taoist is dressed in a Taoist robe and has beautiful eyes. It is Liu Yu. The painting is titled "Huang Shengzong Xuanyu Taoist Chief" on the upper right.

There is still a small line in the lower left corner of the painting: My son Liu Yu, see the words like face, there is no need to feel guilty, I and your mother are well in old age, I hope my son will take care of you for the rest of your life!

Tears filled the eyes, like raindrops on the drawing paper, the Taoist sobbed silently, carefully rolled the drawing paper, and hugged him tightly.

…

"Hey! How did the door open!" Liu Zhai stayed at the old slave, butler Yang. At night, he brought two young servants to the ancestral hall as usual to add oil to the ancestral hall. When he approached, he found that the door of the ancestral hall was actually opened. Quickened his pace, he remembered that when the incense was lighted in the middle of the night, he had already brought the door.

Steward Yang ran to the gate of the ancestral hall and looked inward. The offerings on the altar table were intact. The lights in the ancestral hall were bright and everything was fine. This was a relief.

"Go and look around!" The wooden door of the ancestral hall was blown open by the wind when he wanted to come, but when he came to the copper incense burner and saw the short incense sticks in the burner that were only half-burnt, his face suddenly changed. .

Butler Yang and the two young servants carefully inspected a large circle in the ancestral hall, and found nothing missing, except for a few short incense sticks that were not extinguished in the furnace, and a small pile of newly burned paper money ashes.

"It's weird!" This is evil. If he really gets into the thief, why doesn't he take things and burn the paper to light incense? Could it be that steward Yang couldn't help but feel a chill.

"Housekeeper, the painting is gone!" At this moment, the young man on the side suddenly pointed to the empty right wall with wide eyes. Before, there was a portrait of the ancestor of the Liu family. It is said that this ancestor was still a profound cultivator. .

"Hurry up and report to the official!" Butler Yang suddenly looked terrified, and immediately called the young man on the side to report to the office.

Although this painting is not in the hands of famous artists, it is a portrait of Xuanyu Taoist, the ancestor of the Liu family of Jiuzheng.

After the Jiuzheng Yamen got the news, they immediately dispatched arrests. The Liu's compound was the old residence of Liu Tongjuan in Zhengyang Mansion, and they did not dare to be careless.

This Jiuzheng Liu family is a famous family in the county. In recent generations, some people have been serving as officials. They moved from the county to Zhengyang Fucheng decades ago.

It's not the hairy thief from here, he's so courageous, he stole all of them into the old mansion of the convict.

But it’s strange to say that after a search, it was discovered that in addition to the loss of a portrait of an ancestor in the Liu family’s old house, a small pit was dug out under the centuries-old locust tree in the backyard. What does this culprit mean?

Just as the Jiuzheng Yamen arrested and had a headache, thousands of miles away, Liu Yuzheng’s sword headed towards Gaocang Country. The sun rises in the east, and the sun shines through the clouds to illuminate Liu Yu’s fortitude cheek. Windy.

After the worship, Liu Yu dug out the jade box that had been buried under the tree in the backyard many years ago. The jade box contained a volume of "Blood Yuan Gong" and a copy of the incomplete "Ghost Dao Technique".

In fact, Liu Yu had this heart for a long time, but he was stationed in the North, and he went in a hurry, and he hurried back to his old house. The destination of this trip was Gaoyang City in the northern border of Gaocang Country.

A few months ago, Liu Yu was attacked on his way home. If he hadn't practiced the "Dao Soul Heart Sutra", his soul would be solid and powerful, and he would have died under the curse and sorcery.

Although luckily escaped, he was afraid that the other party would learn that he was not dead, and then use a poisonous hand. After a while of deliberation, he had to resort to this trick of feign death.

Liu Yu went on the road alone in Yuecheng and returned to Yunzhou by a passing merchant ship. He waited for the three fleets in Zhoushan City. After the three fleets arrived at Zhoushan City, Zhenren Xuanmu summoned Liu Yu privately and said that he had contacted the sect. Liu Yu arranged a foreign post.

However, there are still some clerical procedures that have not yet been finalized. Liu Yu rushed to Gaoyang City first, and when he got there, he looked for the "Changshan Taoist", the master of Gaoyang Taoist temple, to receive the official sect mission.

The specific job position and where to stay will be known at that time, and Liu Yu was also told that this task seems to be difficult, but he has spent some time to win it.

…

Gaoyang City is located on the border of the northwestern corner of Gaocang Country. It is the city of Gaoyang Prefecture. There is a misty Fusha Lake three miles outside the city. Gaoyang Taoist Temple is built next to the lake. Watch worship.

At that time, Gaoyang Taoist Temple gathered with tourists and pilgrims. The small-sized double-eared unicorn incense burner in front of the main hall of Gaoyang was densely packed with long and short offering incense. The green smoke curled around and the incense was extremely strong. At this time, a sword light fell from the sky and fell. A Taoist man with a mask on his face and a robe.

"Is this a fairy?"

"Look at the fairy!"

"Don't talk nonsense, this is Huang Shengzong's master of Taoism!"

When the Taoist man with a mask fell, he immediately attracted tourists and pilgrims to hear and talk, and talked in a low voice.

"Disciple He Yang, pay homage to the predecessors!" He Yang, the disciple of Huang Shengzong who was maintaining order in Guanzhong, saw the visitor wearing the "Huang Shengming Ling Robe" of the sect, and immediately squeezed the crowd away and stepped forward to worship.

"Poor Dao Xuan Ting, can Master Changshan be watching?" The visitor was Liu Yu who had rushed from the Yue country, put away the silver wind sword, and asked.

"Uncle Changshan is working in the immortal statue. The poor Dao Junshan has seen the senior brother, and he asked Senior Brother Xuan Ting to go to the quiet room with the younger brother to sit." Hearing the movement, the Junshan Taoist Meng Shengming, who rushed over, saw it. The visitor from the sect hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"Meng Shengming?" Liu Yu's face was cold under the mask. He didn't expect to meet this person here. This person colluded with the two bears of Tushan and killed Brother Ai, but Liu Yu still remembered it in his heart.

"Master!" He Yang immediately saluted when his master Junshan Taoist came.

"Let the pilgrims go away!" Meng Shengming waved his hand to retreat from his disciple, and then said to Liu Yu with a smile: "Senior Brother Xuan Ting, please!"

…

"I don't know if Brother Xuan Ting came to see Master Uncle Changshan, whether it is the affairs of the sect. If the sect has something to do, you can also tell the younger brother." Meng Shengming led Liu Yu to a quiet room in the Taoist temple and made a drink. Serve fragrant tea, said politely.

After his teacher Jinshan passed away, Meng Shengming took over the post of Taoist deacon, and the master of this view was replaced by his uncle Changshan Taoist.

Taoist Changshan was originally the deacon of this view, and he has been assisting his senior brother Taoist Jinshan. Speaking of which, this senior has a close relationship with Liu Yu.

"Junior Brother Junshan has misunderstood. Pang Dao came this time and was arranged by the sect to take up a post in Gaocang Country. He came to report to Master Changshan." Liu Yu also said politely.

"Oh! That's the case! By the way, I don't know which uncle's sect brother worships. I'm ashamed to say that the younger brother has never heard of the elder brother's dao name." Meng Shengming couldn't help but frowned. How did the sect suddenly arrange for someone to come down? Could it be that he noticed something, but quickly recovered his smile and asked without showing a trace.

"Family teacher Xuanbei, poor Dao has been out there for these years, it is normal that the junior brother has never heard of it." Liu Yu explained.

"Presumably this is Master Xuan Ting Nephew!" Just as Meng Shengming had to ask again, he received the news that the Taoist Changshan, who had walked out of the secret room of Jianyuexian like formation, was walking into the room and said with a smile.

"Xuan Ting pays homage to Master Uncle!" Liu Yu hurriedly got up and said.

"Meet Uncle Master!" Meng Shengming followed.

"Sit down!" The Taoist Changshan raised his hand and sat down by himself.

"The disciple is ordered to come and listen to Master Uncle's instructions!" Liu Yu said, arching his hands.

"No need to be polite, the guardian of the Heavenly Master in the "Ghost Forest" outside the Grey Misty Mountain where the master nephew works is not in the city. "The Taoist Changshan shook his head and said with a smile.

"Junshan, you should avoid it first!" Changshan Taoist immediately took out a red mission scroll, did not start immediately, but said to Meng Shengming on the side.

"Brother retire first!" Meng Shengming got up and bowed, then turned to leave the house, his face suddenly turned suspicious outside the house.

"Teacher nephew Xuanyu, please see!" After the teacher nephew Jun Shan left, the Taoist Changshan unfolded the task scroll, and it was obvious that the sect had already informed Liu Yu of his true identity.

"It's expedient, let's not blame Master Uncle!" Liu Yu immediately took off the cold iron mask, revealed his true face, and said guilty.

"No defense!" Changshan Taoist said indifferently, looking at this extraordinary young teacher nephew, a sense of powerlessness in his old age inevitably grew in his heart.

I wanted to see this son at the beginning of the year. It was more than a hundred years ago when he was ordered to go to Yannan City to investigate an Xiexiu Tucun incident. At that time, this son was just a humble ordinary sixth-layer Qi training disciple.

Time has passed, and this son is now almost catching up with his own cultivation base~www.readwn.com~ It's really terrifying, and the years have passed, I am really old, hey! I think he has practiced in Changshan for nearly four hundred years, with a cultivation base of no more than seven houses, and he has been working for a long time. I am afraid that it is difficult to reach the golden core threshold.

"Ling Zongmen disciple Xuan Yu, stationed in the Guardian of the Heavenly Master in the "Ghost Forest", served as the guardian of the Heavenly Master, served for 50 years, and commanded the boss Tai Xiong Taoist, the salary of 80,000 low-level Lingshi and 3,000 per year Contribute points, and give two more Qingke Pills."

Looking at the content on the mission scroll, Liu Yu couldn't help but look solemn. It was another long-term mission abroad, and it was the first time Liu Yu heard of this "ghost forest".

Even though he had served in Yannan County for ten years, he had never heard of such a sly place in Gaocang Country, but judging from the fact that he can receive two Qingke Dan every year, his salary is extremely rich.

Because according to Liu Yu's understanding, generally, the sect only considers rewarding his Qingke Dan if his cultivation level reaches the late stage of foundation construction. It really took a lot of heart to come to Master Xuanmu for this.

"I don't know what Uncle Master knows, where is this ghost forest? What is the situation?" Liu Yu put away the task scroll and asked worriedly.

"Senior Nephew Xuanyu doesn’t need to ask more. Haosheng will rest for a few days in the meditation session. When the time comes, I will let Junshan take you there. Huiwu Mountain is about one day away. As for the situation of the ghost forest, wait for the teacher. I know when my nephew arrives." Changshan Taoist said with a smile.

"Disciple got it!" That was so, Liu Yu stopped talking.

"Let's go!" Follow the poor road to the restaurant in the city, go to the dust for you, the Taoist Changshan got up and said cheerfully.

This son was able to receive the task of Qingke Dan in the middle of the foundation construction. He wanted to come to have a lot of connections among the Xuanzi generation, although it was somewhat due to the special nature of the ghost forest here.

But it shows that he is much better than himself. The lifespan is still light, and he can reach the foundation of the six residences. He has the opportunity to impact the Golden Core Realm. The future is boundless, which is really enviable.
