Chapter 49 Mang Mountain
————Continue to update early and ask for votes. I usually write the chapter that I want to update the next day the night before. I secretly spend time at work and write the chapter that I will go to for lunch.
Shi Xuan came to Mangshan to seek immortals and Taoism, and Mangshan is famous all over the world. In short, it is the place where yin energy gathers. Therefore, considering the characteristics of ghosts, Shi Xuan went out today in the evening. When the sunset was about to set, he happened to be at the foot of Mangshan with Chu Wan'er.
During the day, Shi Xuan had already prepared two portions of Qianyuan Marrow Change Soup and prepared the corresponding medicine bath. Chu Wan'er frowned and gritted her teeth and took a sip, and immediately smiled. As the master said, the medicine was not bitter, and it was a bit sweet, which was much better than the ones she had drunk before.
However, the two physical exercises in the early morning and evening made Chu Wan'er complain frequently. Fortunately, Master Shi Xuan's majesty is still a bit serious, and the little girl finally finished practicing obediently.
"Master, why are there so many tombs on this mountain?" Chu Wan'er stood at the foot of Mangshan Mountain, looking at the tomb hidden among the trees and the walls on the mountain, but it was still very obvious, and asked Shi Xuan curiously.
"Haha, this is a famous tomb mountain. Wan'er, you still see a small part of it. Those rich and powerful families are buried at the intersection of mountains and beautiful terrain, and they cannot be seen at the foot of the mountain." Shi Xuan opened his eyes at the sky and pointed to several places where the yin energy meets.
The mountains of Mang are beautiful, and the green trees are hidden in the loess. Although they are not high, they gather the local atmosphere from all directions and have a vicissitudes of life.
Chu Wan'er muttered in a low voice: "What's the famous tomb mountain?"
"It's the place where everyone wants to bury after death. I think that burying it here will get better and better in the future. Of course, my teacher has not learned the art of finding dragons and pointing acupoints, so I don't understand it. But we practitioners are far better than relying on ourselves and relying on our true self." Shi Xuan explained, and at the same time, we should establish it in Chu Wan'er's heart. Those who practice Taoism mainly rely on themselves. Other external objects, Feng Shui, etc. are just temporary help, and we cannot use it as a screen.
Chu Wan'er nodded as if she had understood it, and then asked other questions again. It was not until it was completely dark that she stopped her mouth in fear and leaned tightly against Shi Xuan.
"It's time to go up the mountain!" After Shi Xuan said that, he used his magic to open the eyes of Chu Wan'er's sky.
"Master, Master, what magic did you use to Wan'er? Wan'er seems to see anger coming out there." After opening his eyes of the sky, Chu Wan'er naturally saw the image of the gathering of yin energy on Mangshan, and immediately asked curiously.
Shi Xuan pulled Chu Wan'er up the mountain, targeting the places where the yin energy gathered. He also told Chu Wan'er: "That's opening the eyes of the sky for Wan'er, so that you can see the ghosts. Hehe, don't be afraid."
"Wan'er is not afraid." Chu Wan'er said as she quietly moved closer to Shi Xuan, "Can Wan'er see a headless ghost, a bodyless ghost, a tongue-stick..." Thinking of this, curiosity overwhelmed the fear, and the master was protecting him, Chu Wan'er felt relieved, and she was not afraid at all!
After walking along the mountain road, sporadic graves began to appear in front of them. Because the terrain here is not very good, those buried here are not considered rich and noble, so the graves are very ordinary and cannot be called mausoleums.
"Hey, master, master, look at what that is, is it a ghost?" Chu Wan'er said nervously, pointing to the faint shadow behind the graves next to her.
"Yes." Shi Xuan pulled Chu Wan'er over, intending to let her see first, so as not to encounter a hundred-year-old evil ghost. Chu Wan'er was so scared that she needed to hold her.
This faint, transparent ghost is a woman in her twenties. The place she buried is very new, not even a tomb. She just digs a pit and buried it, so naturally no one sacrifices it. This place is not a place where yin energy gathers. This ghost who has been dead for nearly half a month has basically lost its memory and is just waiting to completely scatter between heaven and earth.
Chu Wan'er looked at the ghost in fear and curiosity, but the ghost was not paying attention to it. She just kept muttering around the place where her body was buried: "Child, child..." But her expression was indeed confused and dull.
"Master, she has no feet, she is still floating!" Wan'er was too short and there were not many things to pay attention to. She reported to Shi Xuan with some pride and found out.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Shi Xuan nodded perfunctorily, "So, Wan'er, look, this ghost isn't scary, isn't it scary, isn't it scary?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Chu Wan'er followed suit, nodding her head perfunctorily, and at the same time getting shorter and shorter. In the end, she was squatting and watching, but unfortunately she didn't find any major discoveries again.
Satisfied Chu Wan'er's curiosity and overcame her fear. Shi Xuan pulled her toward her first destination again, passed through several small woods, crossed several streams, and arrived at the first place where the yin energy gathered safely. There was no evil ghost on the way, which disappointed Chu Wan'er!
This place where the yin energy gathers is a large valley, with about four or five cemeteries, all of which are majestic and grand. They are separated from each other. After long-term sacrifices, the cemetery houses have been formed, including large courtyards, gardens, and even villas. There are snow-white lanterns at the door and paper-made servants stand. After all, it is impossible for real servants to be buried here in the ancestral tombs.
Shi Xuan led Chu Wan'er to one of the large courtyard-like cemeteries. The little girl didn't realize it was a cemetery at first, and she thought it was a normal house. After Shi Xuan explained it clearly to her, she suddenly realized that there was no normal house for paper people to stand at the door. She felt very upset and felt that her intelligence and wisdom had been insulted.
When he walked to the door, Wan'er kicked the paper man hatefully. Who knew that this thing looked like paper-made, but after burning during the worship, it turned into a soul body. Wan'er kicked it through, empty, and almost flashed her slim waist. If Shi Xuan hadn't been holding it in a hurry, she would have sat on the ground on the spot.
The paper servant asked dullly and rudely: "Where are the guests?"
Shi Xuan grabbed Chu Wan'er, who was dissatisfied, and replied politely: "I want to visit your master."
The paper servant didn't reply, slowly and mechanically pushed open the gate of the cemetery and walked in. After a while, just as Chu Wan'er was waiting impatiently and digging the ground with her feet, an old man with a snow-white lantern floated out. Behind him were two middle-aged men and women with gorgeous clothes, a young man and two beautiful girls, and finally a beautiful young woman was holding a three or four-year-old boy.
"The old man has not visited his family for decades, so I don't know why he came?" The old man with a long white beard asked politely. After all, the Taoist priest who could see the cemetery and find him was definitely not an ordinary person.
Seeing that his master was so polite, Shi Xuan also replied politely: "I want to visit the authentic Taoist sect. I took my little disciple here and thought that Mangshan was where the yin energy gathered, and there should be Taoist sect here. So I went up the mountain to search for it. Unfortunately, I was not familiar with the place and took the liberty to ask the Zun Mansion for advice." Chu Wan'er stood beside Shi Xuan very sensible at this time, looking like a good boy.
The old man stroked the white beard and sighed: "That Taoist priest might as well come in and have a cup of tea. There is no authentic Taoist sect on this mountain. There are only three or four Taoist sects here. I, the ghosts who have never seen the world, look down on them, let alone the Taoist priest."
"It's better to be in a hurry than respect. My name is Shi and his name is Xuan. This is the little disciple Chu Wan'er." Shi Xuan also wanted to find out more about some information, but it was really impolite to stand at the door and ask questions, so he agreed to the old man's invitation.
"Master Shi, please, Lao Jiu's surname is Han, famous Shi Jin, and his courtesy name is Chongwen. This is Lao Jiu's youngest son Wenyu, this is Lao Jiu's eldest son Shuzheng, Shuzheng's wife Wei, this is Wen Yu's eldest daughter Yazhu, and the youngest daughter Jingzhu, this is Shuzheng's youngest son, and his name is Jing. Alas, Lao Jiu's second son encountered a plague when he was in Nanzhou. He actually... "Ha, the old man Han Shi Jin walked in with Shi Xuan, while nagging about his family.
The exquisite and cute Chu Wan'er was unanimously loved by Wei, Han Yazhu and Han Jingzhu. She surrounded her and teased her, making Chu Wan'er feel depressed. She is not a child. At this time, Wan'er had long forgotten her fear of ghosts to the horizon.
"Han Weng, your mansion is actually a family of high-ranking officials and prominent officials. No wonder there is such a grand tomb." Shi Xuan saw that Han Wenyu was the governor of Nanzhou, so he complimented him. At the same time, he asked Chu Wan'er to sit next to him, Wei Shi, Han Yazhu, and Han Jingzhu floated out of the hall.
Han Shijin touched the white beard and smiled and didn't say anything, but his expression was quite proud. His second son Han Wenyu took over and said, "Master Shi doesn't know that his father was an official on the Left Pushe of Shangshu." It turned out that Old Man Han was actually the prime minister for the first time.
Seeing Shi Xuan expressing surprise, Han Wenyu continued, "This valley is where my Han family's ancestral tomb is located. The other cemetery houses that Master Shi saw are the other rooms of our Han family."
At this time, Wei Shi, Han Yazhu and Han Jingzhu floated out with tea trays, respectfully putting the tea on the tea tray on Shi Xuan's table, and there were several plates of rare fruits.
Han Shijin explained to Shi Xuan: "Master Shi doesn't know anything. There are only paper men and maids in this mansion, who are slow and dull. It's not easy to neglect you. I'll let them go and mess with these." Perhaps it's true that there are no guests coming for a long time, and the Han family is very enthusiastic.
"Where, where, this is what Weng Han, you are considerate and you are flattered." Shi Xuan was still very satisfied with this courtesy. Of course, he did not forget about secretly using magic to check the tea and fruits. After the inspection, he signaled to Chu Wan'er that the alarm was lifted. Chu Wan'er immediately picked up the longan fruit that had been coveted for a long time and started eating it.
