Chapter 361: Sheep's Head Mountain: 400,000 Unjust Souls
"That should be it?" Tang Bin nodded disapprovingly: "It was probably those bald donkeys who did it. Taoist priests don't have that kind of thing. When the bald donkeys were in power during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, they left a lot of grottoes."
grotto?
Ximen Qing suddenly became interested. These monks often spent a lot of money and manpower to display all kinds of breathtaking man-made landscapes in order to attract believers and make people worship them.
Most of the grottoes were built during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, or when Buddhism was at its peak in the Tang Dynasty. It often takes decades to build a grotto. There are three major grottoes in the world, the Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, and
There is Yungang Grottoes.
What I didn't expect was that the monk really had money to build things. He also wanted to build a grotto in Yangtou Mountain. And according to Tang Bin, it was built hundreds of years ago during the Wei and Jin Dynasties. These guys are really bald donkeys [
Ximen Qing's thoughts were wandering, but he quickly felt something was not quite right.
That's why Qiao Daoqing chose a place like Yangtou Mountain?
Fighting in a grotto left by a monk? It feels ridiculous no matter how you think about it.
But Qiao Daoqing is the Phantom Lord, so he must have his reasons for choosing Yangtou Mountain; there must be something that can help him in Yangtou Mountain.
Ximen Qing suddenly sat up straight and looked at Tang Bin seriously: "Besides the grottoes, what else is there in Yangtou Mountain?"
"Now that bunch of bald donkeys are no longer good at incense, that place has long been deserted." Tang Bin touched his forehead inexplicably: "To be honest, that place is just a bunch of holes cut out of rocks, plus
Even the general has never been to the Buddha statues, large and small."
"Nothing else?" Ximen Qing was a little disappointed.
Tang Bin shook his head decisively: "No, that place was originally a stone mountain with no vegetation and no human habitation nearby."
Ximen Qing closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair.
Surely something important has been overlooked?
sheep's head mountain, grotto, monk
monk, grotto, sheep head mountain
Suddenly, Ximen Qing unearthed something from his memory, opened his eyes and asked, "Is there any local legend?"
This bunch of bald donkeys didn’t just find someone to start chipping away at a random place!
Every famous temple, every ancient temple, every Buddhist holy place basically has a similar legend, that is, a certain eminent monk who attained enlightenment walked somewhere on a certain day, and inadvertently saw a myriad of things, or there was a giant Buddha looming there.
appear.
To put it bluntly, some wise monks are good at looking at things. As for what the "weather" is, it is not known. Anyway, what is recorded is what they said.
Something about Sheep Head Mountain, or some legend, is the real reason why Qiao Daoqing chose this place!
"Legend? What legend is there in that poor place?" Tang Bin shook his head decisively.
Could it be that I thought wrong?[
Ximen Qing was feeling annoyed when Guan Sheng, the great sword next to him, twirled his long beard and suddenly let out a long sigh.
"Sir, there are not many legends about that place, but it is almost the battlefield of the ancient Changping Battle."
Battle of Changping?
Ximen Qing took a breath of cold air.
Even a historical idiot like Ximen Qing could tell a story like the Battle of Changping with his fingers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, but it actually happened nearby?
Ximen Qing suddenly understood what it was that aroused Qiao Daoqing's interest.
The Battle of Changping is remembered not for anything else, but because Bai Sheng killed Zhao and surrendered 400,000 troops!
"Is Bai Sheng Sha Jiang in the Yangtou Mountain area?"
Ximen Qing asked nervously.
"This" Guan Sheng hesitated a little and turned his attention to Tang Bin. Guan Sheng could read where the Battle of Changping took place from the book, but whether the battle took place in the Yangtou Mountain area cannot be detailed in the book.
It can be recorded.
Ximen Qing also turned his attention to him.
Tang Bin touched his head, thought again and again, and said under the concerned eyes of Ximen Qing and Guan Sheng: "Speaking of which, Cui Ye once mentioned it to a certain general, saying that Sheep Head Mountain
There is something weird there, and the villagers living nearby often hear some inexplicable crying sounds at night."
In fact, no need for Tang Bin to say anything, Ximen Qing also understood why Yangtou Mountain wanted to build a grotto.
It seems that it is not because of any "weather", but to suppress 400,000 innocent souls.
"Sir, do you want to re-summarize the affairs of Yangtou Mountain?" Dadao Guan Sheng frowned and said: "Although the young general does not believe in ghosts and gods, Qiao Daoqing must have his intention in choosing the location in Yangtou Mountain.
Don’t be defensive!”
To his surprise, Lord Supervisor's face became calm from just now, without any trace of anxiety.
"Sheep's Head Mountain is Sheep's Head Mountain." Ximen Qing smiled slightly, somewhat like he was picking flowers: "I want to see what Qiao Daoqing can tinker with."
"Okay!" Guan Sheng also smiled: "Young general, together with this Qinglong Yanyue Sword, sell it to the Lord Supervisor!"
Under the moonlit night, the bare Sheephead Mountain looked a bit eerie. The whirlwind in the mountain made a "whirring" sound, which seemed to make it even more terrifying. There was not even a small animal on this stone mountain, let alone a human being.
There are only those carved caves, plus those sitting or standing Buddha statues, staring ahead.
The two iron swords trembled slightly, making the sound of dragons roaring from time to time. If Sun An hadn't deliberately held them down with his hands, they would have unsheathed themselves.
"This place is a bit weird." Sun An frowned, and several soldiers holding torches looked left and right, craning their heads and shrinking their necks, looking very scared.[
"Weird?" Illusion Demon Lord Qiao Daoqing chuckled, walking on the ground in the night wind: "There are 400,000 innocent souls in Sheep Head Mountain, of course there are weird ones."
"What, four hundred thousand wronged souls!"
When the soldiers nearby heard this, they mistook the noise for the sound of ghosts crying, and almost lost their torches.
"Trash!" Sun An shouted: "If a certain family and the national master are here, you will be dragged away by ghosts! Light up the torch!"
Qiao Daoqing smiled coldly from the side, seeming to be commenting on Sun An's words.
The soldiers looked mournful and raised their torches high again, illuminating the area in front of them. However, the darkness around them seemed so thick that they could not break away, making them regret their impulse just now.
Just half an hour ago, Sun An called all his own soldiers over and said that he wanted to choose seven or eight capable people to follow him and the national advisor out to do things.
Naturally, everyone is enthusiastic about such a good thing and strives to be the first.
After holding torches and carrying their baggage, the soldiers were gathered in the courtyard. Before they could figure out what was happening, Qiao Daoqing had already caused a gust of wind, which swept everyone up and headed towards Sheep Head Mountain.
There is no comfort in this way of "traveling". In fact, it would be considered good if these soldiers didn't vomit in it.
Of course, after landing, each of these soldiers had a livid face and tried to endure it. It took a while for the wind to calm down. They all felt that this trip was not as simple as they imagined, and they secretly regretted it.
Qiao Daoqing sat down cross-legged and rested for a while; casting spells continuously was a tiring job for a monk. Even Qiao Daoqing could not bear it, let alone using strong winds to sweep these people up and run for more than a hundred miles.
Come to Sheep's Head Mountain.
Qiao Daoqing practiced Taoism in Tongshan and had long been interested in Sheephead Mountain, which is hundreds of miles away. The power formed by the four hundred thousand innocent souls was like an undiscovered treasure and successfully attracted his attention.
This kind of power can be extracted and used as long as there is a way to do it, and all kinds of spells can work as desired, including Qiao Daoqing's illusions; but there is one thing, and this power will suddenly disappear after leaving Sheep Head Mountain.
So after deciding to fight Ximen Qing, Qiao Daoqing chose Yangtou Mountain without hesitation.
No matter how much power Ximen Qing can summon from the Thunder God Stone, Qiao Daoqing has the power of 400,000 wronged souls and is very confident that he can completely suppress it.
In Qiao Daoqing's opinion, as long as Ximen Qing goes to the appointment, Lei Gongshi will definitely be able to capture him.
How could such a great fortune be kept in the hands of a small person like Ximen Qing?
Qiao Daoqing, determined to win, began to instruct the soldiers to unpack the baggage and paste the talismans and other items inside at the location designated by him.
"The weather and the favorable location are all taken by Pindao!" Qiao Daoqing commanded while sneering: "Let's see how Ximen Qing's fellow Ximen Qing fights with Pindao tomorrow!"
Sun An, the palace commander, saw the talisman posted, and the two iron swords on his shoulders seemed to be much more solid, and they must be effective, so he asked: "My brother, how can this wronged soul see the light of day? How can it be used against the enemy?
"
"The wronged soul is the wronged soul, and the power of the wronged soul is the power of the wronged soul." Qiao Daoqing explained: "These talismans contain the power to stabilize the wronged soul, and they can be extracted for Pindao's use. What is the difference between day and night?"
"Ever since Pindao knew about Yangtou Mountain, he started to prepare this set of talismans. It took him seventy-seven forty-nine days!" Qiao Daoqing continued: "I thought I would never have another chance to use it, but I didn't expect it to be used on Ximen Qing's house.
On my body!"
Sun An sighed after hearing this: "If my brother hadn't been prepared in advance, how could he have prepared everything in a hurry? My brother will definitely master the Lei Gong Stone and achieve great things!"
"That kind of fairy treasure is naturally taken by the virtuous." Qiao Daoqing sneered, not knowing what he was thinking of: "I think Ximen Qing is just a rich man selling raw medicine in Qinghe County, how can such a person be found?
Immortal destiny? Zhenren Luo is also confused. He actually ordered Daoist Brother Gongsun to personally teach the Tiangang Five Thunder Zheng* method. So many things that have happened in the past few years are all the luck brought to him by the Thunder God Stone!"
"It's ridiculous that a few years ago, a poor Taoist hoped to practice Taoism under Master Luo, but he was attacked as a heretic and kicked out by Wu Wu Xuanwei!"
"Such a thing of great luck will naturally belong to my brother." Sun An nodded and said: "It is not a given that one day he will compete with Zhenren Luo!"
Qiao Daoqing nodded and said: "Master Na Luo also became a Taoist with a thunder stone, but I want to see who is not enlightened!"
