Chapter 62 The wanderer returns home(1/2)
After entering the Taoist temple, my eyes suddenly opened up.
But in the small courtyard, there was a double well, and a stone tripod incense burner behind the well, facing the main hall of the Taoist temple.
There is a couplet engraved on the left and right corridors of the main hall:
Qingshan is fortunate enough to bury loyal bones, and loyal souls from hundreds of battles will return home.
Letter to:
"Tonghuanfu Temple"
Mo Chuan's mind moved slightly as he looked at it. Where is this Taoist temple? This is clearly the General's Temple.
Is it possible that Lu Fengbei was still a general during his lifetime?
While Mo Chuan was looking at the Taoist temple, the old temple owner had already led the farmer into the side room.
After arranging the children to lie down, they were busy looking for various herbs, boiling them, and applying them.
Mo Chuan couldn't help much, so he simply came to the main hall of the Taoist temple and looked around.
The main hall of the Taoist temple is not large. It enshrines a painted clay sculpture of a general wearing armor. The altar table is empty except for a pottery bowl filled with incense ashes and a cluster of burnt incense sticks.
Looking around, the walls are mottled and peeling, and there are dark cobwebs in the corners. It can be described as extremely crude.
Doesn't this look like a meal or an offering?
Mo Chuan calmly exited the main hall and stood by the double-eyed well, quietly waiting for the old temple master to heal the child.
After about a quarter of an hour, the child's condition finally stabilized.
The old temple master also breathed a sigh of relief. After giving some instructions to his family members, he came to the courtyard, raised his hands to Mo Chuan and said:
"May I ask what you two are doing here?"
"Pindao met the master of Tonghuan Temple in the morning. When Pindao passed through Changlan City, he heard that there was a Taoist temple in the mountains. The master's Taoist teachings were quite exquisite, so he came here to pay a visit."
Mo Chuan replied with a polite expression.
"Oh, what kind of person is this old man from the country? I am just a tombkeeper! I can be regarded as a barefoot doctor. Thanks to the love of the villagers, I spread some teachings, but in the end it is just a lie!"
The old spectator smiled naively and held his hands, looking unconcerned.
"Gravekeeper? What does this mean?"
Mo Chuan pretended to be surprised and asked.
It turned out that this Taoist temple was indeed a general's temple as he had guessed.
The person being worshiped was surprisingly Lu Gao, the general who founded the country and Zhenbei.
It has been more than a hundred years ago.
As for the specific age, the veteran viewer cannot tell clearly.
According to him, in the early years when the Lu family was still prosperous, the Taoist temple was very prosperous and had several pavilions, so it was quite prosperous.
However, as the Lu family declined and moved away, the Taoist temple also declined.
Fifty years ago, an earth dragon turned over in Xinghuan Mountain, and the Tao Dao Temple was almost destroyed.
The Taoist temple in front of us was built later by the previous temple owner. In fact, it is a Taoist temple rather than a private residence.
The reason why the ancestral hall still holds smoke and sacrifices is just to occupy the land deed and avoid paying taxes.
Therefore, when it was passed down to the generation of the old temple master, its popularity was almost extinct.
Fortunately, the old temple master held many jobs on weekdays, reading Feng Shui, opening Yin locks, and treating diseases... Although he did not have fertile land, he relied on Taoist priests to pay ultimatums and was exempted from taxes, so his life was not satisfactory.
After the two sides had a heart-to-heart talk, Mo Chuan felt General Lu's righteousness and donated a lot of copper coins before saying goodbye and leaving.
"If I can get my husband to donate money, it seems that this Taoist temple should be fine." After leaving the Taoist temple, Huang Buyu took the initiative and sighed.
"How do you know this is not my paralysis strategy?" Mo Chuan asked with a half-smile on his face.
Huang Buyu's face suddenly stiffened.
"Let's go and see the tomb of General Lu."
Mo Chuan smiled and walked straight to the mountain behind the Taoist temple without Huang Buyu leading the way.
Huang Buyu was not puzzled by this.
In other words, he has never thought about why Mo Chuan knew the location of the Taoist tomb?
The two walked for about a quarter of an hour before arriving at their destination.
This is a mountainous depression, located on the mountainside, surrounded by bushes, and the few tombs are clean.
It can be seen that there are often people coming to take care of it.
"Sure enough, it's a real point in the earth's veins. The Lu family picked a good Feng Shui!"
Mo Chuan looked around briefly, took a deep breath, and sighed quietly.
"The real acupoint of the earth's veins?" Huang Buyu looked surprised when he heard this: "Sir, do you still know the art of Kanyu?"
"I don't understand!" Mo Chuan shook his head.
"Then why did Sir say this is the true point of the earth's veins?"
Huang Buyu became more and more surprised, not only at his frankness, but also at his judgment.
"All things belong to Tai Chi. Since it is Tai Chi, it is naturally born with strange phenomena."
Mo Chuan made random nonsense.
Of course he would not tell Huang Buyu, this was what his flesh and skin told him.
In fact, when he stepped into the Taoist temple, he felt a faint feeling in his heart.
As we searched all the way, the feeling became more and more intense. Until we got close, my mind was shaken and everything suddenly became clear to me.
After all, feathers are floating in the wind, scales are turning with the waves, and when a wanderer returns home, how can he not recognize his loving mother?
I have to admit that even though his earthly fetus was dug up before he reached full age, all his magical powers were lost and he was just like a mortal fetus.
But the earth-born fetus is, after all, a strange object conceived by the energy of the earth's veins, and has a natural affinity and perception of the energy of the earth's veins.
"Dig the grave."
Mo Chuan waved his hand and a shovel fell to the ground.
"Yes, sir!"
Huang Buyu took the order, picked up the shovel, and started digging the grave according to Mo Chuan's instructions.
As a great demon of Jiazi, his efficiency in digging graves is naturally not bad.
Mo Chuan looked at this scene and thought, if his incense was not limited and he could not afford to raise the Jiazi Demon, he would really want to take Huang Buyu with him.
Apart from anything else, he is a good digger.
"Sir, why does the color of this soil look like annual rings, with rings inside each other and different colors?"
Huang Buyu became surprised as he dug.
"This is the appearance of the true points of the earth's veins, also known as Tai Chi halo!"
Mo Chuan explained casually, staring at the tomb with sharp eyes.
Not long after, Huang Buyu dug up the coffin.
Strange to say, the coffin that had been buried for more than a hundred years was dug out like a new coffin, making a muffled sound when struck with a shovel.
"Sir, do you want to open the coffin?"
"open it!"
Mo Chuan nodded.
Huang Buyu took a deep breath, dug out the coffin lid with both hands and exerted force. The nails were suddenly pulled out, and the heavy coffin lid was tilted to one side.
Suddenly, a disgusting smell spewed out.
Mo Chuan was already prepared. He held his breath, looked inside, and his eyes narrowed.
All he could see was that the corpse inside the coffin was as dry as wax and looked like a brown skeleton. Several bones and arrows were found in the coffin, which were the immortal bones he obtained from Lu Fengbei.
"Judging from the missing non-transformed bones in the skeleton, it is indeed Lu Fengbei's remains!"
Mo Chuan let out a breath.
Huang Buyu got closer and examined it carefully, with a look of disappointment in his eyes.
——Although there are valuable funerary objects in the coffin, it is not the chance of the immortal family after all.
"Sir, is it because Lu Fengbei earned the energy from the earth's veins that he became the Five-A Great Demon?" Huang Buyu asked curiously.
"maybe!"
Mo Chuan's tone was ambiguous and he frowned slightly.
As his body was born on the earth, he was keenly aware that Huang Buyu's digging of graves did not damage the true acupoints of the earth's veins, and even stirred up the energy of the earth's veins.
