Where did this guy go?

If it wasn't him, who would be responsible for the disaster?

Looking up, the Taoist couldn't figure out whether it was humans or monsters in the wild mountains. The Yushan Mountain was too broad, and he could only roughly determine the direction, but could not find the specific location.

After lingering for a long time, I carefully sensed the surrounding area for dozens of miles, but still didn't detect anything of value. The Taoist sighed and could only leave in frustration.

The ancient temple has returned to its former peace, but it is even more dilapidated than before.

The small pavilion disappeared, the hexagonal wellhead was exposed in the wild, and most of the courtyard wall collapsed due to the wave of shock.

Only a crumbling temple was left, as well as the statue of the god that had fallen to the ground and the black shadow that was knocked to the stone wall of the side hall and huddled motionless in the corner.

The sun rises and the moon sets, the morning sun and evening rain.

I don't know how long it took.

The rain began to pour again.

A group of people appeared on the mountain path, with a few torches dimly lit, heading towards the small temple.

The dark figure huddled at the foot of the wall seemed to be awakened by the sound of horse hooves on the mountain path, and finally moved.

Chen Huaisheng tried his best to raise his heavy head to see where this was.

The darkness in his eyes made him wonder if he was blind.

The hand was stroking the rugged stone wall next to it.

There was a bit of fishy smell in the mouth, and there was something dry like snot on the lips under the nose. After licking it, it still smelled like blood.

Only then did he realize that his mouth and nose were covered with dried blood clots.

Except for his left hand, his whole body seemed to be in severe pain as if it was broken and scattered.

I haven't felt this way for a long time.

In my impression, after I was determined to have Taoism in my body at the age of ten, I no longer felt this uncomfortable.

Even though he later traveled abroad to study and encountered some dangers, he was never like a cripple and a half-dead person like today.

No, aren’t you County Magistrate Chen?

His thinking became a little confused, making him dizzy again. It seemed like a dream, intertwining the memories of two people, but which one was true and which one was false?

He shook his head hard, trying to wake himself up, but the various scenes in his mind lingered. It was really a dream, why was it so clear?

He subconsciously touched the clothes and baggage on his body.

Wearing a long narrow shirt with a horizontal pleated shirt, a cross-collar sweatshirt inside, and trousers underneath, it feels familiar yet unfamiliar.

What is familiar to me is that the clothes seem to fit me very well, and the smell is very familiar to me. What is unfamiliar to me is that this clothes is from the Tang, Song or Ming Dynasties. This is a strange thought.

It seems like he really traveled through time?

Chen Huaisheng's mind became clearer and clearer, and bits and pieces emerged from the bottom of his heart like gurgling spring water.

The memories on both sides are finally separated and do not overlap with each other. One seems to be innate, and the other is experienced personally, which is a bit interesting.

This man is also called Chen Huaisheng. Is he soul-piercing or body-snatching?

It seems that I have more recognition of this identity, so I have such thoughts, instead of feeling that I have had an unusually real dream.

With a slight movement, Chen Huaisheng was brought back from his reverie by severe pain.

His whole body was severely injured and he could not move. Chen Huaisheng could only turn his mind back to the scene before he fell into coma.

Tigers are probably not talented people.

He didn't know the identity of the man he saw who was waiting to devour anyone, but before he fell into coma, he saw the man with the curly beard turned into a beautiful tiger, and the fur was dazzling and confusing, and made him feel confused.

He was very impressed.

Whether it was a demon or a human, he couldn't tell.

He hit the stone wall and fell down. Although his whole body is in great pain and his bones are broken and his limbs are broken, it is nothing to him who possesses Taoism. He only needs to adjust his breath and move around the sky to recover.

For some, you can recover most of your health after just one or twenty days of rest.

Tao Zhong, Chen Huaisheng finally realized something.

Well, I am a little bit different, that is, I have Tao seed in my body. I am the only one among the more than 120 children born in Yuanbaozhai, Guzhen, Liao County in the ninth year of Jingzhen's year, who has Tao seed in my body.

.

Thinking of this, the faint sound of horse hooves on the mountain path came to my ears again.

He didn't have time to think too much, he almost gritted his teeth, supported his body with his still strong left arm, and sat up.

At this time, through a little starlight outside the hall, Chen Huaisheng was finally sure that he was not blind. It was just that the night was deep, he was facing the wall, and there was no light, so he couldn't see.

The slightly turbid vitality is about to stir in the sea of ​​qi.

Closing his eyes and concentrating, Chen Huaisheng slowly gathered spiritual power from his Dantian. Chen Huaisheng urged his spiritual consciousness to drive the flow of vitality in the meridians, and a qi machine slowly moved along the meridians.

The qi machine circulated three times in a row in his body, which seemed to be faster than expected, which surprised him a little.

Well, it seems that there is something more in the depths of the Qi Sea, but now I can't look inside and see what's wrong with my body.

Chen Huaisheng finally got ahead of the noise and entered the temple, forcing himself to stand up.

Most of the ribs are broken or cracked, but it doesn't matter, they are well maintained.

But what we are facing now is the crisis.

Visiting such a small temple in a mountainous area in the middle of the night, I'm afraid it's not an ordinary person.

My current state is very unsafe, or very dangerous.

This world seems to be very uneven, or in other words, it is full of dangers.

He cannot expose his weakness to outsiders. Without knowing the role of the person coming, it is difficult to say whether his weakness will stimulate the other party to become malicious.

Chen Huaisheng never hesitates to use malicious intentions to speculate on people he doesn't understand.

Well, this doesn't seem to be the current Chen Huaisheng's temperament.

The sound of horse hooves gradually came closer.

The messy sounds were also particularly clear in the mountains late at night.

"Why is there a temple here?"

"What kind of bullshit temple is built in a place where people are afraid to see people? You can tell at a glance that it is a licentious temple..."

"Whether it's an obscene ceremony or a private temple, there are no people living here within a radius of twenty or thirty miles, so who will come to worship?"

"Who do you worship? Huaidu Dragon God? Or Gengchen God?"

"How is it possible? How can the place where the Dragon God and Gengchen are worshiped be so dilapidated? It's impossible to choose a corner like this, and it's not popular. How can you worship?"

"Yes, you can tell it is an obscene sacrifice at a glance, but you don't know what it is, and the government doesn't care about it..."

"It's so remote. If we hadn't taken the wrong road, we wouldn't have been able to get here. The nearest county is a hundred miles away, so there's no way we can get there..."

Amidst the commotion, a group of people walked to the courtyard gate and looked around, only to find that the place was in a state of decay.

One person in front couldn't help but frown: "Why is it so shabby? How can you rest?"

"Okay, there are so many things to pay attention to when going out, so just don't go out at all and just find a place to take shelter from the rain." A gentle and calm voice suddenly suppressed the noisy group of people, "Go in

Well, be careful, there may be people taking shelter here, so don’t disturb others.”

Chen Huaisheng held on to the stone wall, and with some difficulty wiped away the blood outside his nose and mouth with his inner sleeve, trying to appear calm, but feeling a little shocked in his heart.

He tried his best to suppress his breath, but it was obvious that he was still noticed.

There should be more than five or six people coming, and you can tell just from the footsteps of their dismounts that they all have Taoist qualifications, and there are also Qi practitioners.

After traveling abroad for seven years to study and seek Taoism, Chen Huaisheng still saw a lot although his Taoist mind was not yet clear.

With his own Taoist heritage, he is considered a leader in Yuanbaozhai in the countryside. He can be a famous brand in Guzhen, but in the county, he can only get a "rare" praise.

If you want to enter the mansion, you will really be like everyone else.

At the age of seven, he has the bones of knowledge and spiritual roots of the fourteenth enlightenment. At twenty-one years, he has realized nothing and returned to nature.

It will be difficult if your spiritual roots have not yet appeared after fourteen.

I was only thirteen when I awakened my spiritual roots, and I couldn't wait to travel and seek enlightenment.

It's a pity that nothing has been accomplished in six years.

There is still one year left. If you still can’t enter Taoism and practice Qi after twenty-one,...

Then I can only be regarded as an innate Taoist. I can strengthen my body better than ordinary people, and I can hope to double my life span, but I can't hope for anything else.

There are no candles in the temple.

Recalling that when I first entered the temple, I found that the candlesticks had collapsed, the statues were crooked, the offering trays had fallen over, and there was nothing there, so I took shelter from the rain in the side hall to rest.

Who would have thought that the monster with shaggy hair and curly beard would come so loudly along the mountain path, and circled outside the temple for a while before entering.

If I hadn't practiced the Taishang Sensing Technique and accidentally sensed something strange, climbed up to the top of the pavilion and hid, I'm afraid I would have been swallowed by that guy immediately.
To be continued...
