Chapter 54: It Was All Tricks (Part 2)

(Due to working reasons, I have been out of the update for a few days, and I deeply apologize. The ostrich will resume updates today and speed up the update speed to make up for the missing progress.)

The three of them left the fairy hall and went to lead the horses. Zhang Chi saw that the horses were still four horses. It seemed that Manager Wu ran away in a hurry, afraid of shocking others and did not dare to ride the horses. In this way, there were extra horses for Meng Feiyang to ride. The three of them got on the horses. Santong asked, "Brother Zhang, Daoxuan is going to chase the old man, but how can we find them?"

"Daoxuan has naturally made marks along the main road at the corners, so let's chase them along the marks." Daoxuan is very powerful, and it is of course extremely easy to track a shopkeeper Wu and leave marks. The three of them paid more attention to the corners along the way. Sure enough, Daoxuan left obvious marks. Following these marks, the three of them came all the way to the south of the city.

The more I walked along the way, I became more and more secluded, and finally I came to a Taoist temple.

The Taoist temple is called "Ziyun Temple". There are large bamboo forests around it, and the situation is quiet and natural. The Taoist temple is built here, which is in line with the Taoist meaning of leaving the environment and sitting forgot.

Santong was overjoyed: "Brother Zhang, you are not right. Sure enough, that shopkeeper Wu did not tell the truth. Since those Taoists asked shopkeeper Wu to come to Kuaiji, there would definitely be a meeting place. This Taoist temple was built in such a secluded place, it seems that it must be here."

Zhang Chi thought so, saying, "You should speak softly, don't alert the enemy, let's go in quietly."

Meng Feiyang is a celebrity among the gentry. When did he do such a sneaky thing? However, many people in the gentry are like this. They do nothing on weekdays, but they hope to have some stimulation. I think the elixir of Wushisan is popular among the gentry, which is because the people in the gentry all have the mentality of seeking stimulation.

Meng Feiyang was even more excited than Zhang Chi who had eaten Wushi San. He was excited but suppressed his voice and said, "Yes, let's put the horse in the first place before sneaking in."

As the two of them tied up their horses, they secretly entered the Taoist temple. Although the Taoist temple was not grand and did not occupy a large area, it was also well-organized like the ordinary Taoist temple. The three of them turned right and found that there was no one in the Taoist temple, and this Taoist temple was somewhat different from Zhang Chi's impression. The Taoist temple usually worshiped nothing but the Three Pure Ones, but this Taoist temple was different. Although it also worshiped three people, it was not the Three Pure Ones.

Meng Feiyang saw Zhang Chi's doubts and said, "The Five Doks of Rice Dao believes in the three officials of heaven, earth, and water, so the Taoist temple worshipped in the main hall of the Five Doks of Rice Dao is not ordinary people who worship the Three Pure and Four Imperials."

"So that's it." Zhang Chi nodded and said, but after searching all the Taoist temples, he could no longer see the marks left by Daoxuan. Zhang Chi said strangely: "Is it not the place where the shopkeeper Wu and the Taoist priests meet?"

But after thinking about it, I felt something was wrong. Since Daoxuan had left a mark, it means that Daoxuan had indeed come here. It was probably after Manager Wu came here and went elsewhere. Zhang Chi thought about it, and then turned back to the gate of Ziyun Temple to search carefully. Sure enough, he found the mark left by Daoxuan to continue to go south.

Meng Feiyang has always been very excited about this kind of adventure, but after searching for it, he found nothing. He was a little disappointed, but when he found the mark, he became curious and urged Zhang Chi to say, "Let's go and take the horse quickly and follow the mark to see what's going on."

The three of them rode their horses and walked south, leaving the south of Kuaiji City, not far away is Kuaiji Mountain. Kuaiji Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles. Although the mountain is not high, it has many celebrities and is famous for its long-term reputation.

"Along the way is Kuaiji Mountain," the three of them walked along the marks made by Daoxuan and looked out of the south of the city. From a distance, Meng Feiyang was the guide of the two of them, so he performed his duties as a tour guide while walking and explained in detail to the two of them: "Although Kuaiji Mountain is not as magnificent and beautiful as those famous mountains and rivers, it is the holy place of the Five Dou Rice Road."

"This kind of mountain is not high or dangerous. Why did Wudou Rice Road choose this place as their holy land?" Santong asked strangely.

"Don't look at the height of this mountain, it is not high, it is not dangerous, but it has a great origin in history." Meng Feiyang talked freely and introduced the dictionary: "At that time, Dayu had the ability to pass the sky and the earth. After controlling the flood, he ordered the rain master to sprinkle the dust, and the lightning was used as a whip, and the thunder thought it was a wheel. He joined the princes in Kuaiji Mountain, which attracted the sea god to come to worship him. From then on, the floods did not prosper and the world was peaceful."

Santong was secretly shocked when she heard this, Meng Feiyang continued: "The Five Doks of Rice Dao is the three officials of heaven, earth and water, and is known as the Three Yuan Emperor. It was also seen in that Taoist temple that the Three Yuan Emperor was worshipped on the main hall. Among the three officials, the Five Doks of Rice Dao is the most respectful of water officials, so the water officials are worshipped between the Heavenly Official and the Earth Official. Because the Sea God once worshipped Dayu in Kuaiji Mountain, Kuaiji Mountain was its holy place."

"Brother Meng is indeed well-versed in the past and the present." Zhang Chi praised.

Meng Feiyang smiled, it wasn't that he was showing off, but since he was a guide, he had to do his duty as a guide and continued: "The Qin Shihuang of the past climbed this mountain and ordered Li Si to carve stones here to remember the merits. This sixty-character stone tablet is now occupied by the Five Doks of Rice. Five Doks of Rice claims to be the will of heaven, so he gathers people here to rebel."

"Since the Five Doks of Rice Dao is so powerful in Kuaiji Mountain, won't the court send a large army to encircle and suppress it?" After hearing what Meng Feiyang said, the Five Doks of Rice Dao's power in Kuaiji was so powerful, Santong was puzzled.

"Of course the court wants to suppress it, but now the rebellion of the clans in the world has begun. They jointly recommended Wang Gong as the leader of the alliance and attacked Jiankang. The Five Barbarians in the North are also ready to move, so the court has no time to take care of this place? The Five Doks of Midao took advantage of the opportunity when Wang Gong raised his troops and the court was powerless, and now they gathered troops in Kuaiji Mountain."

So that's it. After listening to Meng Feiyang's analysis, Zhang Chi had a better understanding of the situation. It seems that although he had lifted the siege of health last time, the situation of the rebellion of the clan could not be stopped. However, Zhang Chi didn't care about these things. He was thinking about how to rescue the wine girl in the Five Doks of Rice Road.

The three of them chatted and walked south along the marks made by Daoxuan. After a while, they entered the mountains of Kuaiji.

After walking for a while, the three of them walked to a slightly open place in the mountains, and they could no longer find the mark left by Daoxuan. "Why did Daoxuan suddenly disappear? What should I do?" Santong said with a grumble.

Meng Feiyang didn't know Xuan's kung fu and guessed: "This is the scope controlled by the Five Doks of Rice Dao forces. There are often five Doks of Rice Dao people who come and go. Could it be that he was also taken away?"

Meng Feiyang's concerns are not without basis. People in the Five Doks of Rice are often difficult to guess. It is normal to capture one or two people for no reason. However, Santong and Zhang Chi know Dao Xuan's skills, so of course they are not worried about this. Since they have been secretly remembered here, they are probably Dao Xuan is nearby. Sure enough, after looking around for a moment, Zhang Chi pointed to the top of the tree in front and said, "Look, isn't that Dao Xuan?"

Of course, the person on the top of the tree was Dao Xuan. Dao Xuan followed Manager Wu, but he didn't ride a horse after all, so Zhang Chi and others rushed up shortly after. At this time, Dao Xuan had already discovered the three of them, made a gesture of silence on the top of the tree, and then he fell to the ground lightly.

Dao Xuanwu was very powerful, and he was silently at the same time. He came to the three of them and said softly: "Brother Zhang, you finally arrived. I followed the shopkeeper Wu, first saw him in a Taoist temple, and then we arrived here with the Taoist Master Shouyin we saw in the Taoist temple."

"What are they doing here?" There are few people here, and birds don't poop. They want to go and find the place where everyone gathers in Wudou Midao. Why did they come here? No wonder Zhang Chi asked this question.

"I don't know either," Daoxuan shook his head and said, "But there is an lonely grave ahead, and it seems that they are coming here to worship."

"Oh? Take me to have a look." Zhang Chi said.

Daoxuan thought for a moment and said, "Brother Zhang, you get off the horse first, so as not to alarm the sound of horse hooves. I'll take you to the tree to see."

"How can I get up at this high tree?" Zhang Chi asked hesitantly.

"What's the problem? I'll just take Brother Zhang up there." Dao Xuanwu was very skilled, so this skill was naturally no problem.

Meng Feiyang was curious, how could he miss it? He hurriedly said, "I want to see it too."

Daoxuan carried one hand and used his light skills to jump to the tree. He nodded and Meng Feiyang was overjoyed. Only Santong said helplessly: "What should I do?"

Daoxuan looked at Santong's helpless look and felt funny, and said, "You just look at the horses here,"

After saying that, he didn't care whether Santongle was happy or not, so he called Zhang Chi and Meng Feiyang to the bottom of a big tree in front of him. He held a person's waist in one hand and jumped straight onto a big branch on the treetop.

Zhang Chi rode on the tree branch and stabilized his balance before looking into the distance. Sure enough, he saw that the mountains were wide in the distance, and there was a lonely grave in the center. Manager Wu and Taoist Master Shouyin were standing in front of the lonely grave.

But the two of them looked like they were coming to worship. So what were they doing when they ran to a tomb in Kuaiji Mountain?

Zhang Chi was still thinking in secret, but Meng Feiyang shouted: "Is this the tomb of Du Zigong?"

"Who is Du Zigong?" Zhang Chi asked softly in curiosity.

"Du Zigong is a native of Qiantang. The leader of the Five Dou Rice Road in Jiangnan was Du Zigong. In the land of the Three Wus, most of the scholars and common people followed him and believed in the Five Dou Rice Road. Du Zigong had a very high reputation in Kuaiji, but he died inexplicably. He only heard that he was buried in the mountains of Kuaiji, but he didn't know where he was buried." Meng Feiyang said.

"How did Brother Meng know that this tomb is Du Zigong's cemetery?"

"I'm also guessing." Meng Feiyang said: "Five Dou Mi Dao believes in the water god. Most of the Taoists are buried in water after their deaths. Only Du Zigong was hidden in Kuaiji Mountain, so I guess this is Du Zigong's tomb."

Meng Feiyang's analysis was quite reasonable, and Zhang Chi secretly agreed, but when it comes to the name Du Zigong, he always felt that he had heard someone say it, and had some impressions, but he couldn't remember where he heard who said it.

Logically speaking, he had never had much contact with Taoist people, so how could he hear the name Du Zigong? Zhang Chi couldn't help but think deeply in his heart. Could it be that he had heard of it after coming to Shanyin? But when he arrived in Shanyin City, he had never been anywhere else, but had just been to the brothel of the "Immortal Square in the World".

"Ah!" Zhang Chi couldn't help but let out a low voice and blurted out. He suddenly thought of the second floor of the Immortal House in the world, when he was in a state of confusion with Miss Ruoshui. Miss Ruoshui seemed to have vaguely said that she was waiting for someone to avenge her master. Zhang Chi accidentally asked her who her master was.

"My master is Du Zigong, and Du Zigong is my master." Zhang Chi remembers that's right, Miss Ruoshui said that at that time!
