Chapter 104 Three Talismans
As soon as the wordless stele's Qi Jue came out, the grass buds on Zhou Wen's body stopped growing immediately and gradually degenerated. After a short while, Zhou Wen's body returned to normal.
When the three-eyed antelope saw this scene, a hint of surprise flashed in its eyes. It stood not far away and looked Zhou Wen up and down.
"Fortunately, the Qi Jue on the Wordless Monument is useful." Zhou Wen breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look back the way he came. He saw that there was still a thousand-foot cliff there, and there was no gate where he came from.
"Forget it, I'd better find a way out in the game. Anyway, I have the Qi Jue on the Wordless Monument. As long as the antelope doesn't bother me anymore, I shouldn't be in too much danger for a while." Zhou Wen subconsciously glanced at the location of the antelope, but his heart skipped a beat.
The antelope that was standing not far away just now has disappeared.
"Mee!" The sound of a sheep bleated behind Zhou Wen, causing cold sweat to break out on his back. Turning around, he saw the antelope standing behind him, staring at him up and down with its eyes wide open.
That’s not all. The antelope was sizing him up and circling around him, as if it wanted to see every part of his body clearly, without missing any details.
Zhou Wen didn't know what it wanted to do, so he was on high alert. If the antelope really wanted to harm him, he couldn't just sit there and wait for death even if he knew he couldn't win.
But the antelope had no intention of taking action. It circled around Zhou Wen several times, with the suspicion in its eyes growing stronger and stronger.
"Brother Sheep, let's make a deal. I'll wash the grass and return it to you. How about that?" Zhou Wen said cautiously to the three-eyed antelope.
If he had known that the antelope was so vindictive, he would not have dug up the grass.
But the antelope ignored him, moved closer to Zhou Wen, and used its head to push Zhou Wen inside.
The antelope was very strong, and Zhou Wen felt that his own strength was completely unable to compete with it. He was pushed by that force and walked inside involuntarily.
Countless thoughts flashed through Zhou Wen's mind, but in the end he did not fight the antelope to death.
The ancient building complex on top of the Golden Summit is very large, connected by stone bridges in the middle. Below the stone bridges is a swirling sea of clouds. Walking on the stone bridges, you feel like walking in the sky.
"Brother Yang, where are you pushing me? Can I walk by myself?" Zhou Wen said.
The three-eyed antelope seemed to understand what he said. It stopped nudging him with its head, bleated at him twice, and then walked in one direction.
Zhou Wen knew that his speed and strength were far inferior to those of the antelope. The creature was most likely an epic creature. It was unrealistic to escape from it, so he could only follow it.
Antelope led Zhou Wen through the ancient building complex. After crossing many stone bridges, they came to a Taoist temple. Zhou Wen looked carefully and saw the three words "Taiqing Temple" written on the plaque of the Taoist temple.
Zhou Wen only had some superficial knowledge of Taoism, but he also knew that Taiqing was one of the Three Pure Ones in Taoism. Among Yuqing, Shangqing and Taiqing, Taiqing was the most famous one. The name of Taishang Laojun was probably known to everyone in the East District.
This Taoist temple is called Taiqing Temple, and the deity enshrined there must be Laozi.
"There won't be a living Taishang Laojun in here, right?" Zhou Wen thought of his experience in the small Buddhist temple, and couldn't help but speed up the circulation of the Wordless Stele Yuanqi Jue.
The antelope came to the gate of Taiqing Temple, but did not go in. It disappeared in a flash. When Zhou Wen reacted, it was already behind him and pushed him into Taiqing Temple.
Zhou Wen was mentally prepared and did not feel surprised. Lingyang definitely did not bring him here for tourism.
After standing firmly, Zhou Wen looked around the Taiqing Temple. Inside the gate was a large courtyard that looked quite old. The ground was covered with dust and fallen leaves, as if no one had set foot there for thousands of years.
In fact, as far as Zhou Wen knew, before the dimensional storm came, the Taiqing Temple was very popular, but that was only for a few decades.
"You are my Taoist disciple. You can choose any one of the Three Pure Ones talismans on the table." An old voice came from nowhere and echoed in Taiqing Temple. It seemed to come from all directions, and it was impossible to tell where the voice came from.
"Disciple obeys your command." Zhou Wen did not dare to hesitate. After bowing, his eyes fell on an altar in the yard.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw three talismans on the altar. They seemed to be made of completely different materials. One was like flawless white jade, one was forged from metal, and the last one was carved from wood.
The three talismans are only the size of a palm and look similar, but the patterns and symbols engraved on them are different.
Zhou Wen didn't understand the meaning of the talismans, and his knowledge of Taoism was very limited. He could only guess and guess. "The Three-Faced Buddha at the Small Buddhist Temple asked me to choose a mythical companion egg, but here I'm asked to choose talismans. I don't know what they are for. This is Taiqing Temple. Logically, the three talismans should all be related to Taishang Laojun, but that's not necessarily the case. The Three Pure Ones of Taoism are actually one. Maybe the three talismans represent the Three Pure Ones."
"If it's as I guessed, then the jade talisman probably represents the Jade Pure Original Heavenly Venerable, the wooden talisman is related to nature, and I think it most likely represents the Jade Emperor, and the gold talisman should represent the Supreme Pure One. Which one should I choose?" Zhou Wen was just guessing, he didn't know if it was true.
According to Zhou Wen's aesthetic taste, he should have taken the jade talisman, but thinking that this was Taiqing Temple, Zhou Wen hesitated for a moment and still took the wooden talisman.
The moment Zhou Wen picked up the wooden talisman, he saw the light and shadow changing in front of him, and Taiqing Temple disappeared like a dream bubble. When Zhou Wen saw the scene clearly, he found that he had returned to the stone statue of Laozi riding a cow.
If Zhou Wen hadn't still been holding the wooden talisman in his hand, he would have suspected that he was dreaming.
"Mee!" A sheep's cry sounded nearby. Seeing the three-eyed antelope nearby, Zhou Wencai was sure that everything that happened to him was not an illusion.
He didn't dare to stay here any longer. Although the Golden Summit of Laojun Mountain was not as strange as the Small Buddhist Temple, it still made Zhou Wen feel uneasy. He ran down the mountain holding the wooden talisman.
Only when he reached the middle of the mountain and saw the princess and his classmates did Zhou Wen feel a little relieved.
"Zhou Wen, I told you to run, where did you go to play? Why did you bring back an antelope?" The princess frowned after seeing Zhou Wen.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Wen quickly turned around and saw that the three-eyed antelope had followed him down. However, the vertical eye on the top of its head had disappeared. Apart from being completely white, it looked no different from an ordinary antelope.
The princess thought that these were mutated Earth animals on Laojun Mountain, but she didn't expect that this was a creature from another dimension. After all, creatures from other dimensions cannot step over the inscriptionless monument and go down the mountain.
