Chapter 304: Look down at the well, look up at the sky(1/4)
Chen Pingan did not expect that this trip to the world would last for half a year. It was not that the journey to find the Taoist temple was too far, but that Chen Pingan relied on the instructions brought by the "Chang Qi" behind him to go around a majestic city.
After walking around in circles for three months, he still couldn't find the so-called Taoist temple. In the capital city of Nanyuan Kingdom, Chen Pingan asked all the traffickers, foot soldiers, warriors, and escort chiefs.
None of the government officials had heard of any Taoist temples. Chen Pingan read through various historical records, county annals and personal notes, but still found no clues. The only gain was probably that Chen Pingan could speak Nanyuan fluently.
It’s the official language of the country.
In this way, from the late autumn to the heavy snow, to the pattering spring rain, and until the beginning of summer, Chen Pingan was sure that the entrance to the Taoist Temple was in this capital, but he could never get in.
Even if Chen Ping'an is as determined as Chen Ping'an, he starts to feel a little shaken and irritable.
During this period, Chen Ping'an had many strange experiences. He saw a floating cyan dress at night. It danced like a beautiful lady, and its long sleeves were like flowing water.
Unintentionally, I saw through a blindfold and saw a section of the inner city wall with skeletons leaning on each other, and Buddhist scriptures engraved on each brick.
He also met monks who were rarely seen in Aquarius Island. Buddhism was popular in the Nanyuan Kingdom, and there were many temples in various places. Chen Pingan learned about the many details of monks' cassocks, as well as chanting monks, preaching monks, Dharma-transmitting monks and Dharma protectors.
There are all kinds of differences among monks. Once he left the capital to get some fresh air, he followed a group of monks carrying secret orders from the court to a fierce battlefield. Chen Pingan witnessed with his own eyes more than a hundred monks chanting sutras sitting upright.
On the lotus futon, several chanting monks took off their boots, walked barefoot, lowered their heads and folded their hands. Between their feet and when they opened and closed their lips, snow-white lotus blossoms appeared. The monks all had a string of rosary beads wrapped around their palms.
If evil spirits entangle you, they will be repelled by the golden luster emitted by the beads.
The golden light of the rosary is brilliant, the monk's treasures are solemn, and lotus flowers are born step by step.
Leading tens of thousands of resentful dead souls, follow them into the "Gate of Hell" where Yin and Yang meet.
In the end, Chen Pingan sat far away, imitating the monks, clasping his hands together, bowing his head and saying nothing.
After returning to the capital, Chen Pingan still couldn't find the Taoist temple. Just when Chen Pingan gritted his teeth and prepared to go to the palace secretly, that day, with the scorching sun in the sky, Chen Pingan came to a well and looked down. He saw that it was bottomless.
, dark and lightless.
Chen Pingan looked at it for a while.
But I really couldn't see the doorway, so I looked back and continued wandering.
Looking back at the well, it seemed a bit refreshing as I stood there just now.

Since the battle with Cai Jingshen in the Sui Dynasty, Cui Dongshan has won the title of an ancestor of the Cai family. He is very popular in the Cliff Academy. In addition, Cui Dongshan's current appearance, red mole between his eyebrows, and handsomeness are really pleasing to the eye.
Cui Dongshan can walk around the academy at will, and is always accompanied by a personal maid named Xie Xie. Today, the two of them went to attend a classics and meaning class taught by Master Ge. Halfway through, Cui Dongshan, who was lying on the window sill outside, fell asleep.
Thank you for standing aside, not daring to disturb my young master’s spring and autumn dream, which made all the students in the room hold back their laughter. It was very hard. Mr. Ge wished he could beat Cui Dongshan with a ruler until his head was covered with bruises, but when he thought about it, together with his family
With Cai Jingshen moving out of the capital, the old master suppressed his anger and turned around and told deputy mountain chief Mao Xiaodong that Cui Dongshan was not allowed to come near his classroom in the future.
Trembling, as if he had a nightmare, Cui Dongshan opened his eyes, and it took him a long time to regain his composure, then he swaggered back to his residence with his maid thanking him.
When Xie Xie closed the courtyard door, Cui Dongshan took off his boots and stepped over the threshold. He waved his sleeves and the mist rose, finally revealing a picture of the mountains and rivers of Aquarius Continent.
Cui Dongshan crossed his chest with one hand and held his chin with the other. He first stood at the Sui Dynasty at the northernmost point of "Aquarius Continent", then moved his eyes southward, crossing the Huangting Kingdom and the Sui Dynasty territory, and stopped at Guanhu Academy and Caiyi Kingdom in the middle.
In the Shushui Kingdom area, he suddenly lay down on the ground and looked around.
Xie Xie was sitting on the threshold. This map of Yizhou Kan almost occupied the entire room. She would definitely be scolded and possibly beaten when she entered.
Cui Dongshan kept lying there and asked casually: "Do you think there is anyone in the Sui Kingdom, in the temples, rivers and lakes, on the mountains and down the mountains, scolding the emperor for being a coward who begs for mercy without fighting and cedes territory for peace?"
Thank you for answering honestly: "I don't know about the things outside. In the academy, the masters who came from the Sui Dynasty only frowned and sighed. I have never heard of anyone swearing."
Cui Dongshan stood up and said with a smile: "There is a good thing about scholars. They don't criticize the king. They only criticize traitors, powerful eunuchs, vixens, and relatives. They curse heaven and earth and curse their mother... Of course, there are no absolutes. Anyone who dares to curse the emperor
There must be some, but there are very few who can criticize well and hit the nail on the head."
Xie Xie was used to getting along with Cui Dongshan, so he said perfunctorily: "My lord, I'd like to see you."
She is really perfunctory and unabashed. Not to mention the "literary demon" and "old fox spirit" Dali Imperial Master, even a careless person like Li Huai can see through it at a glance.
But Cui Dongshan doesn't mind this.
Cui Dongshan put his hands on his hips, opened his mouth, and inhaled suddenly, swallowing all the fog on the map.
Then Cui Dongshan raised his hands, opened his teeth and claws, and grinned like a tiger roaring.
Thank you for watching, the corners of your mouth twitched.
Cui Dongshan patted his sleeves and said proudly, "It's really a tiger that can swallow thousands of miles. It's amazing, it's amazing."
The maid thanked her and regretted that she didn't dare to roll her eyes.
She turned her head and looked over the high wall of the courtyard. No matter how undercurrents were surging in the Sui Dynasty, it was another peaceful day in Dongshan and the Academy.
A golden thread suddenly arrived from outside the hospital!
Silent and as fast as lightning.
Although it is extremely small, not even as good as a piece of green hair from a woman's thank you, when this slender golden thread appears out of thin air, in the late autumn when the climate turns cooler, the temperature of the entire yard increases, making people feel like they are in the scorching summer.
Thank you for being so dumbfounded that I had no time to react.
Her mind went blank. Although the temperature in the hospital was scorching, Xie Xie was cold all over. She turned her head stiffly and saw Cui Dongshan's eyebrows being pierced by a golden thread, falling backwards and crashing to the ground.
It must be the assassination method of a land god!
In the distance, a vicissitudes of life voice sounded happily, "The monster is causing chaos in the country, and it is not a pity to die!"
Further away, Mao Xiaodong, the deputy mountain chief who was the master of Fang Xiaotiandi, shouted angrily: "How dare you commit murder in the academy?!"
Xie Xie's eyes were dull, and he still kept his posture of sitting diagonally on the threshold, looking at the young man in white who fell to the ground. Did he just die like this?
Xie was lightly tapped on the shoulder, and Xie suddenly woke up. His body tensed up, and when he turned his head to look, he was about to slap him away with his backhand.
But Xie stopped in a hurry, with an expression on his face that he had seen a ghost in the day.
It turned out that Cui Dongshan was standing in front of her, bending down to look at her. He narrowed his eyes, put one hand behind his back, and gently stretched out his fingers with the other hand to touch Xie's forehead, pushing her to fall into the room. But the mystery was that
Xie Xie's body had fallen backwards on the floor, but his misty soul remained where he was. Cui Dongshan used arrogant secret techniques to force his body and soul to separate. The soul, which could not withstand the destruction of Yang Qi, was about to dissipate.
Cui Dongshan looked at Xie Xie's soul, and finally found something strange in one of her Qi Palaces. He smiled and said, "Hide and seek with me, please be a little more mature."
He grabbed a dark green light spot and crushed it randomly between his fingers. His body was pulled by the soul, and the delicate body that had lost all consciousness jumped hard like a fish on a chopping board.
Cui Dongshan slapped Xie Hunsoul on the "face" and scolded with a smile: "You are the one who fails to succeed but fails to succeed, go back."
She woke up slowly with a splitting headache. She struggled to sit up, put one hand on the ground and covered her forehead with the other. The pain made her face full of tears.
Cui Dongshan strode across the threshold, bent down and picked up a very high-grade substitute puppet talisman in the room, crushed it into ashes with his fingers, turned around and said with a smile: "Mao Xiaodong, can you bear this?! Everyone is in your house
Shit and peed!”
During the chase, Mao Xiaodong's sneer voice came into the small courtyard and said: "Yes, you are that piece of shit!"
Cui Dongshan chuckled and said: "I walk around every day, so wouldn't our Cliff Academy become a toilet?"
Thank you without saying a word.
Cui Dongshan didn't bother to explain the dangers and mysteries to her. He sat down cross-legged and frowned in thought.
Why is Guanhu Academy so forbearing?
The trip south of the Great Li Cavalry was a bit too smooth, which was seriously inconsistent with his expectations. According to the original plan, it would have to go through at least four arduous battles, one near the central part of the Secular Dynasty, and one with Guanhu Academy.
They broke up with each other, one with the Baishuang Dynasty of South Aquarius Continent, and one with the mountain forces in the south of Aquarius Continent.
Could it be that Aquarius Continent has quietly invaded many forces outside of the Great Li Mo Family?
It's a pity that now that I am no longer the Grand Master of Great Li, many of the top insider information are no longer available, including who the chess player is and what his style of chess is.
Cui Dongshan suddenly asked: "Have you ever thought about taking root in Dali Longquan?"
Xie shook his head, "I never thought about it."
Mao Xiaodong, a tall old man, strode into the courtyard and said, "It's a Nascent Soul monk with unknown origins. He ran away."
Cui Dongshan didn't care at all and said with a smile: "This time is just a test. You should be more careful with the master students in the academy. There are always some self-righteous so-called good people in the world. They think the world should be run according to their ideas. Once
Shanya Academy and the capital city of the Sui Dynasty were in conflict, so it is not impossible that the two mountain alliances between the Gao family and the Song family would be invalidated."
Mao Xiaodong frowned and said, "Do we really want to close the mountain?"
As for today's assassination, there is little difference whether it was the original intention of some mountains in the Sui Dynasty or the work of "Cui Chan"'s enemies, because the possibility Cui Dongshan mentioned was by no means a joke.
Cui Dongshan sneered: "Why, do you think you're losing face?"
Mao Xiaodong made up his mind, turned around and left.
