The old demon of Montenegro wants to practice Taoism

Chapter 130

The archmage is a character that cannot be seen, Shan Yangze also knows this.

Moreover, the guide's tense expression twitched, and his face dripping with cold sweat also showed this point, Shan Yangze said: "Go and tell him, I'll get dressed and wash up a bit before going."

Only then did the guide nod, heaved a sigh of relief, and went out to talk to the monk who came to pick up Shanyangze.

Shan Yangze looked at the bronze box on the table, picked it up and went to find Yan Chixia. Yan Chixia lived in the same room as the governor, and now both of them were lying on their backs, panting slightly, very uncomfortable.

Arriving here, the average altitude is above 4000 meters, and it is exhausting for days, no matter how much rhodiola is eaten, it will not be of much use.

Seeing Shan Yangze coming in, Yan Chixia and the governor turned their heads to take a look, but they didn't get up.Shan Yangze walked up to Yan Chixia with the box in his hand, and said, "The Archmage sent someone to invite me to meet, and I entrusted Guo Qian to you."

Hearing this, Governor quickly turned over and sat up, but he couldn't do what he wanted, so he had to lean halfway against the wall and said, "Be more careful."

Shan Yangze nodded, and said: "I will take one of the two guides, and leave the other one to you. You two have a little time to relax and sleep when I come back."

The governor looked solemn, and said: "Let me say something more, you know that Uzang is different from Daming. In this land, [-]% of the land is owned by the guards and chieftains, and [-]% of the land is in the hands of the nobles. [-]% of them... all belong to temples. The power of monks is beyond your imagination."

Shan Yangze nodded solemnly, and said, "It's just for a chat. Besides, I see that the people on their side can't speak Chinese, and our guide doesn't know much about Tibetan, so there's no conflict."

Only then did the governor feel relieved, and lay down again and said, "I can't breathe in this air, and I feel dizzy after a while."

Shan Yangze turned around and wanted to go out, but he was worried about Guo Qian, and said to Yan Chixia: "If I haven't come back after Zishi handover, remember to offer incense to him."

In the yard, the guide was already waiting very anxiously. Seeing Shan Yangze coming out, the two of them walked out, and the guide spoke quickly: "This archmage is highly respected, although I don't understand his title, but When the monk introduced him just now, the name of the archmage has more than twenty syllables."

The guide took a few breaths and said, "The easiest way to estimate a person's status here is his name. Generally, the names of serfs are short names of three or four characters. The longer the name, the higher the status. The name is so long... I don't know when his title was passed down." The last sentence is more like a soliloquy.

When the two of them left the yard, they saw two sedan chairs parked at the door, which were slightly different from the standard in the Central Plains, but the sedan chairs were always carried by manpower.When the guide saw this scene, especially the shape of the sedan chair, he was shocked, but Shan Yangze didn't see anything, and went up directly. The guide didn't have time to hold him, so he gritted his teeth and followed.

Sitting on the sedan chair, the guide pursed his lips, feeling more and more weird in his heart. If he had come and gone to Uzang at least forty or fifty times, when had he seen monks like this... Central Plains people.

The guide wanted to talk to Shan Yangze about his uneasiness, but he was afraid that if any of the people following him could understand the Central Plains dialect, he would have to bear it by himself.

At this time, the monk who was walking beside the sedan chair started to speak, but Shan Yangze couldn't understand at all, so he glanced at the guide.

The guide settled down and listened to a few words carefully. When the monk stopped, the guide said: "He is introducing the environment here, saying that this is the temple closest to the holy mountain. The environment is very good, um...pure."

Although the guide's translation was a little messy, but he managed to get a general idea, so Shan Yangze nodded and smiled slightly when the monk turned his head, and the monk did the same and saluted.

The monk walked in front of the sedan chair, led them all the way into the temple, passed two courtyard gates, and stopped at a small door that looked very old, and let them get off the sedan chair.

What the monk said, the guide translated: "Inside is the residence of the archmage, we have to go in."

Entering the small courtyard, there is a row of rooms directly opposite, the left hand is a cliff, the right hand is a courtyard wall, and some low plants are planted beside the wall, and the archmage is standing in front of the plants, facing Shanyangze from the side.

Although on the surface he looks like an old man with a thin body and dark complexion, but Shan Yangze knows that he is a master at a glance.

The monk walked over and said something, the archmage turned around and smiled at Shan Yangze, Shan Yangze only felt a bang in his head, and his consciousness disappeared for a moment. When he recovered, he had subconsciously entered the room. Sitting opposite the Archmage.

Then began a conversation dominated by half-baked translators.

The archmage was old, and there was a little sluggishness in his voice that is typical of old people.His voice was peaceful, flowing into his heart like a mountain stream, but he couldn't quite understand it, so Shan Yangze couldn't help but pay attention to observe the various furnishings in the house.

Almost all the furniture is old, especially the small coffee table next to the archmage, the piece near his elbow has been worn black and shiny.

"Hmm..." the guide began to translate after the Archmage finished speaking, "The above are all polite words, welcome guests who come from afar, let me think about it, um...just smile at this time."

Shanyang Ze obeyed, nodded and smiled at the archmage, and said a few words to express his gratitude.

Before coming, Shan Yangze was still a little nervous, whether it was the governor or the guide, they were very taboo towards the archmage, for fear that he would be bad for him.It wasn't until Shan Yangze met the archmage's life that he realized that they were thinking too much.

Although I couldn't understand what he said, the sound made me feel at peace.The heavy burden on Shanyang Ze's head is still there, but it doesn't seem so terrible anymore.

The archmage was still speaking incomprehensible words, Shan Yangze looked at the wall behind him in a daze, it seemed that something was wrong with the wall.

The walls may have been painted white when they were first built, but over the years, the walls are now black and yellow.A small streamer was hung on the wall, the width from left to right was almost as high as the chair of the archmage, and there was a wall around the streamer that was snow white.

What does this mean?The flag was just hung up.

Is there any relationship between the great mage changing the banner and Shanyangze?

"He asked what we are here for." The guide said to Shan Yangze.

"be honest."

The guide stumbled to get the words out, and Shan Yangze saw the smile on the archmage's face deepen.

Then the archmage actually sent them out.

The two walked back in the sedan chair. The guide felt that the experience tonight was like a dream, which was very confusing, but he didn't dare to say anything to Shan Yangze because there were monks beside him.

Back in the small courtyard, Shan Yangze said: "Have you seen the pattern hanging on the back of the Archmage?"

The guide frowned and said while recalling, "It stands to reason that the pattern on his back can tell which god king he serves. But...it should be because I'm ignorant and ignorant, so I haven't seen that pattern at all."

The guide closed his eyes again, recalling the scene at that time, "I just remember that the streamer looked very expensive, with a lot of turquoise and gold on it. It is said that it would not be an unknown person who can make such a thing."

Shan Yangze couldn't remember seeing the guide for a long time, and it was getting late, so he said softly: "Go and rest first, we are already here...I will talk about things tomorrow morning."

The two broke up, and Shan Yangze hurried to the governor's house first.

Yan Chixia and the governor had already recovered from their tension, they both leaned against the wall, seeing Shan Yangze coming in, the governor breathed a sigh of relief, "How is it?"

Shan Yangze first took the bronze box that was placed on Guo Qian on the table and hugged it in his arms, and then told the Archmage just now, all the details he could think of, and finally he concluded: " There is something weird about this matter, although I can't detect his malice, but I think it's better for us to leave as soon as possible."

Governor nodded thoughtfully, "I think of a possibility. You may have heard that Wu Si hides here, and there are often rumors of reincarnated soul boys. Is it true?" He looked Shan Yangze up and down, " What have you got to do with them?"

Yan Chixia echoed, "I've heard of this too. There are some Buddhist scriptures hidden deep in my memory that will only surface at a certain time. But no matter how you look at it, you don't look like you have roots of wisdom."

What Shan Yangze was thinking about was Kunlun Mountain. He felt that Kunlun Mountain was among the mountains behind the temple. The great mage has been with Kunlun Mountain for a long time. Could it be related to this?

It's just that now the language is barrier, and the archmage's friends and enemies are unknown, so it's a little rash to judge the opponent's good and evil based on the first impression.

When Shan Yangze thinks about things, he always likes to rub something involuntarily, and now he is holding a bronze box, the governor glanced at it, couldn't help shivering, and whispered with lingering fear: "I don't want to go in again gone."

For this bronze box, Shan Yangze only knew that it could insulate the air, but he knew nothing about the scene inside, "Isn't it... not very good inside?"

The governor nodded, and whispered: "It's pitch black, with no light or sound, everything seems to be still. Empty, without boundaries..." The governor trembled again, and stopped talking.

Shan Yangze tightened his hand holding the bronze box, and said, "We're going back first, you should rest well. Tomorrow... if you can walk, go on the road."

Returning to the house with the box in his arms, Shan Yangze lit three sticks of incense and lifted the box slightly. Guo Qian had been in the box for almost half a month.Qingyan made a turn in mid-air, and drifted towards the box in a thin strand. At the same time, Guo Qian's voice sounded, "Is there a temple next to it? I won't come out."

His voice sounded a little weak, and Shan Yangze felt sad, he gave a muffled hum, and was a little afraid to talk to Guo Qian, "You go back after taking the incense, we will talk about it when we enter the mountain."

Guo Qian also hummed, and when the three sticks of incense were burned, he went back without a sound.

Shan Yangze sighed, and sat holding the box tightly all night.

Early the next morning, just after the sun came out, Shan Yangze heard a commotion outside the yard, and then there was a knock on his door.

"Are you awake?" It was the guide who knocked on the door. Except for Shan Yangze, they were the only ones who could still act as usual. "Two Jin Yiwei died." The guide's voice was low, very nervous . "I went to see it when I fell asleep last night. It's okay, why did you die like this!"

Although this is not the first time someone died in the team, but this time he died in someone else's home, or in the private property of the temple. Even though the archmage was very friendly to them yesterday, the impression formed over a long time is not so easy Change, the guide is still afraid.

I was really afraid that something would happen, Shan Yangze hadn't reached the room where the corpse was parked, two monks came in at the door, and now he couldn't hide it.

It's just that the faces of the two monks were as usual, one went to talk to the guide, and the other went straight out of the gate, no need to think about it, it must be to report to the archmage.

The commotion caused everyone in the yard to quarrel, and the governor and Yan Chixia came out with tired faces.The governor went to look at the corpse, but didn't express any opinion, probably because he didn't see any abnormalities.Yan Chixia smiled wryly, "I lost my vigilance, and I didn't even know that someone died."

Not only did he not know, Shan Yangze, who hadn't slept all night last night, was thinking about Guo Qian, but he didn't realize that there was a soul in the yard. Shan Yangze patted Yan Chixia's shoulder, but he couldn't help but think of Huai Shu, if he It would be nice to be here...

Shan Yangze's face turned cold, and he whispered: "Go and pack your things, in case...we are ready to leave at any time."

Not long after, the monk who had reported the news came back, stood in front of Shanyangze, and spoke respectfully.

Shan Yangze looked at the guide and was waiting for his translation. Unexpectedly, he didn't know what the monk said. The guide suddenly changed his expression and repeated one of the words. The monk nodded in agreement.

The guide looked at Shan Yangze, the shock on his face was obvious.

"The Archmage said that we can go on the road with peace of mind. These two people can stay here and take them away when we come back, or...the Archmage can choose a suitable date... Sky Burial!"

Sky burial!Not only Shan Yangze, but also the governor and Yan Chixia were frightened, this is impossible!

Apart from other things, not everyone can be buried in sky burials. Only monks and some nobles can be buried in sky burials after death. This number does not even cover the entire Uzang.

These two Jin Yiwei are just ordinary people in terms of their identities, and they are not from Uzang. Is this archmage overzealous?

"Go and ask him, if the corpse is kept here, how will it be preserved and how long will it last?"

The guide went to negotiate with the monk according to his words, and he heard him say for a while: "It can be stored in the ice cellar under the snow mountain, and it will not rot for tens of thousands of years."

"Then save it." Shan Yangze said, "Tell him that we are leaving, thank them for their hospitality."

After saying these words, the guide's face changed again, because the monk's answer was really shocking again.

Two monks came in the morning, one went back to report the news, and the other stayed here all the time, sent by the archmage to guide them. He also took out a handful from his bosom, which was about the thickness of a little finger, but only half the length of the little finger. It is dark brown, saying that this is a secret medicine given by the great mage, and it feels much more comfortable after taking it.

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, completely speechless.

The governor glanced at Shanyangze, and sighed: "I'd better come first, if... it's still the same sentence, just take me back to the capital." Then, the governor stepped forward and took a stick from the monk's hand. The secret medicine with a strange smell, took a deep breath and stuffed it into his mouth.

This medicine looked strange, and it was a bit bitter to eat, but it melted in the mouth. After a while, the governor felt a clear stream spread from the stomach to the whole body, and the brain that seemed to be filled with paste was much better. After taking a breath, I found that it could be inhaled into my stomach, and I was pleasantly surprised: "It's really effective!"

The medicine was taken one by one, and even Shan Yangze took one as a display, but this monk...

They are here to help them find the snow lotus, but the key question is that they are not here to find the snow lotus!

Shanyangze remained silent for a while, and the monk spoke again. After hearing this, the guide had a very strange expression on his face, and said, "He said he would take us to the depths of the holy mountain to find snow lotus, and he also said that the snow lotus in the holy mountain is ten thousand. The year blooms, and now is the time."

Why does this archmage seem to have understood everything already.

The development of the matter was like a runaway wild horse running towards an unpredictable direction, but Shan Yangze remembered that the two monks he met earlier seemed to have a very strange attitude towards him.

The first one died... Shan Yangze trembled, although he was beaten to death, but when he died, his expression was terrified and his face was distorted, and at that time he had only Guo Qian beside him...

The second one also died, three days after they left the capital, and it is said that the old Taoist was half blamed for this incident.

Shan Yangze couldn't help but have a strange thought, not to mention the first foreign monk, the whole journey was a sinister way, if he met the second foreign monk, what kind of scene would it be now.

And these foreign monks... these foreign monks who are closer to Kunlun Mountain than him, did they realize his identity from the beginning?

Thinking of this, Shanyangze looked expressionlessly at the monk who wanted to be their guide. The two looked at each other for a moment, the monk smiled, and Shanyangze said: "I agree."
