Chapter 142 Broken Taoist Temple
Shen Siyuan looked at the ruins of the wall covered by weeds in front of him, and put down Ruan Hongzhuang in his arms.
As soon as Ruan Hongzhuang's feet landed on the ground, she fell down. Fortunately, Shen Siyuan had quick hands and eyes to hold her up.
"My legs are a little weak, it will be fine in a while."
Ruan Hongzhuang's cheeks were red, and she didn't know whether it was fear or excitement.
Shen Shenyuan reached out to pick her up again, then found a stone nearby and put her on it.
Then he looked back at the way he came.
"What's wrong? What are you looking at?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked curiously after regaining her composure.
"I have struggled to walk this road. How do you think Lin Jianming and his wife got here in the first place?" Shen Shenyuan asked.
Ruan Hongzhuang was also surprised when she heard this, and then said without thinking: "This is almost impossible."
Not to mention anything else, just halfway down the road, there was a road that was almost vertical at 90 degrees, and the footholds carved out of the stone wall were only about the size of the palm of your hand.
Who would be such a nice person to take his girlfriend to a mountain hike for a date?
"Doudou, Xiaoyue..." Shen Siyuan waved to the void.
Then two gusts of evil wind fell from the sky, and Xiaoyue and Doudou appeared in front of them.
"You stay here with Sister Ruan, and I'll go over there to take a look." Shen Siyuan said.
"Okay." Doudou agreed most simply.
Xiaoyue nodded silently, then walked to sit next to Ruan Hongzhuang.
Shen Siyuan turned around and walked towards the ruins of the Taoist temple. Ruan Hongzhuang couldn't help but warned: "Be careful."
"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Shen Siyuan turned around and smiled.
Then we continued walking forward and soon came to Chaotian Temple.
Basically all the buildings in Chaotian Temple have collapsed, and there is one wall with traces of fire. It seems that the lady before was not lying. This Taoist temple should have been destroyed by the fire.
Suddenly, Shen Shenyuan felt something stepped on under his feet. He pushed aside the thorns and weeds, only to find a broken plaque. Most of it had rotted, but the word "Tian Guan" could still be vaguely seen.
Chaotian Temple also enshrines the Three Pure Ones, but the heads of Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun and Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun are gone, and their bodies are full of holes made by snakes and rats.
Only the Taiqing Daode Tianzun was still intact, but his body was covered with traces of fire. As for the statues of some minor gods nearby, they had long since been shattered into rubble.
Seeing the dilapidated Taoist temple in front of him, Shen Shenyuan suddenly thought of the Tingfeng Temple in his hometown, with the same Sanqing statue and the same dilapidation.
Shen Siyuan searched everywhere, but found nothing.
So he walked out of the Taoist temple, came to Ruan Hongzhuang, took out a bottle of mineral water and handed it to her.
"I need to practice in meditation for a while, please wait here."
"Okay."
Ruan Hongzhuang took the handed water and was a little curious about where he took it from.
Shen Siyuan also told Xiaoyue and Doudou not to approach the Taoist temple without his greeting.
The two little guys naturally agreed, so Shen Shenyuan returned to the Taoist temple and found a dry place to sit down.
Then he started to use the Earth Mother Magnet in his body. Since nothing was found on the ground, he tried to see if there was anything hidden underground.
The earth mother's magnetism can induce objects buried in the ground, which is somewhat similar to the principle of a metal detector.
As the magnetic field in Shen Shen Yuan's body stirs up the earth's magnetic field, all the surrounding scenes are reflected in Shen Shen Yuan's consciousness in a special way.
Like an abstract painting without color, various ripples are filled in it, repelling and attracting each other, some are strong and some are weak. And these ripples form a huge picture, which is the electromagnetic wave generated by the ubiquitous magnetic field.
If Shen Siyuan succeeds in practicing the "Five Elements Magnetic Sword", he can use this ubiquitous magnetic field to perform Magnetic Escape, traveling thousands of miles away in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, the picture in his mind fluctuated abnormally, and after a while of distortion, another scene actually appeared.
Shen Shenyuan hurriedly opened and closed his eyes, only to find that the scene in front of him had changed drastically. There were ruins everywhere, and what he saw in front of him was an ancient Taoist temple.
At this time, he was sitting cross-legged on a big stone in front of the Taoist temple. Surrounded by flowers, pines and cypresses, and smoke from the Taoist temple, it was a good place to practice Taoism.
Shen Siyuan was shocked, but still got down from the boulder and walked towards the Taoist temple.
Looking up, I saw the three characters "Chaotianguan" written on the plaque above the door, with strong and powerful fonts.
"Is there anyone there?" Shen Shenyuan reached out and knocked on the half-open door.
But no one answered. Shen Shenyuan knocked a few more times and saw that no one was there, so he opened the door and walked in.
What comes into view is a small courtyard. The courtyard is very regular. On the right is a small pool, on the left is a stone table and chairs, and there is a huge ginkgo tree next to it.
"Is anyone here?" Shen Siyuan stood in the courtyard and called again.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
But still no one answered.
So Shen Siyuan looked around carefully and walked towards the temple.
Everything around is very similar to what Lin Jianming and his wife described. They said that the Taoist temple is not big, with only three rooms, and this is indeed the case in front of them.
In addition to the main hall Sanqing Hall, there are only two cramped wing rooms on the left and right, one probably used as a kitchen and the other as a sleeping place.
Shen Siyuan first walked towards the kitchen because he saw smoke.
But when he entered the kitchen, he found that there was a fire in the stove and rice on the stove, but no one was there.
"It's really weird." Shen Siyuan murmured in a low voice.
Could it be that all this is just an illusion?
Shen Siyuan touched the stove, but he could clearly feel the residual warmth on his fingertips.
So Shen Siyuan exited the kitchen, went into the main hall, and came to another side room. However, the room was empty, with no sign of being inhabited, and everything was weird.
Shen Siyuan stood in the courtyard and thought for a while, then slowly walked into the main hall, Sanqing Hall.
But he saw Sanqing sitting on the high platform with a smile on his lips and a compassionate look in his eyes.
There is only one incense burner on the altar, and the incense in the burner curls up like auspicious clouds.
There was a futon under the altar for meditating on the vision, so I knelt down and worshiped Sanqing.
But when he looked up, he saw a golden bell on the altar table.
The upper end of the bell handle is called a sword and is in the shape of "mountain". This is the Sanqing bell, also known as the imperial bell, Fa bell, Fa bell and bell book.
The body of the bell is covered with talismans, densely packed, as small as tadpoles, and looks very complicated.
Shen Shenyuan reached out and picked up the Sanqing Bell, only to hear a tinkling sound. The sound was extremely sweet and crisp, making people feel refreshed and clear-headed.
But with this sound, the surrounding scene instantly dissipated and turned into ruins again.
But he, who was originally sitting cross-legged on the stone, now stood in front of the broken Sanqing statue again. Everything just now seemed to be an illusion.
But the golden Sanqing Bell in his hand told him that nothing could be faked.
PS: There are still two chapters, which will be updated in the afternoon. During the period when monthly tickets are doubled, I will ask for more monthly tickets~
