Ji Yuan and Qi Wen ate all the remaining dishes on the table together. The main reason was that Ji Yuan ate more, and Qi Wen could only look at it later.
At this moment, Qi Wen asked Ji Yuan while cleaning up the leftovers on the table.
“Mr. Ji, master, is he okay? What kind of wine did you give him to drink?”
Because of this person’s Ji Yuan, Qi Wen was not anxious. Anyone who couldn’t believe it would have doubted whether the other party had drugged his master.
Ji Yuan used the soup basin as a storage device and swept all the vegetable scraps and bones into it, trying to avoid Taoist Qingsong’s head.
“Pick up the oil lamp for me and I’ll wipe it here.”
“Oh.”
The dishes and bowls were stacked up one after another, and the table was roughly cleaned. Ji Yuan then said to Qi Wen who was about to put the bowls in the wooden basin to wash them.
“The wine your master drank contained many precious medicinal materials. The medicine is strong and the alcohol is strong, but drinking it is very good for the body. If you drink too much at once, you will probably have to sleep for three to five days.”
Drink too much at once?
Qi Wen shrank his neck. Although the kitchen oil lamp was not too bright, he could still see clearly. Didn’t Mr. Ji pour it in?
But after hearing what Ji Yuan said, Qi Wen immediately reacted.
“Sleep for three to five days? So long?”
“Yes, the medicinal power in the wine will seep into every part of your master’s body. With his personality, he must have been beaten a lot in these years. Some old diseases and injuries will be cured, and his body will be stronger than before. .”
In fact, only he and Ji Yuan knew that Taoist Qingsong lost half his life with one hexagram. Although Qi Wen understood that his master had a big problem with his fortune telling, he had always been kept in the dark about Qi Xuan’s lifespan. He didn’t know it in the dark, so now Ji Yuan only talks about things like good health.
However, Qi Wen’s brain circuit turned to another place, and his face suddenly became excited.
“Mr. Ji, are you bringing some of those rumored martial arts magic medicines that can greatly increase a person’s skill or open up some meridians and make him a master of martial arts?”
Ji Yuan was also happy. Qi Wen had heard too many stories from the storyteller.
“It’s almost like that, except that your master doesn’t practice martial arts himself, so he can’t become a martial arts master.”
The two of them chatted and tidied up the kitchen, and finally carried Taoist Qingsong back to his room, one on each side.
Although Taoist Qingsong doesn’t look fat, he actually feels quite heavy when Ji Yuan is carrying people, which means he has solid skin and flesh, um, he is more resistant to beatings.
The bed in the Taoist temple is not the common wooden bed outside, but made of bricks. It looks a bit like a kang, but it has no heating function. There are several layers of straw in the middle and bedding. The long one is enough for four or five people. What was meant for sleeping alone is now the dormitory shared by master and apprentice.
There is another bedroom in the Taoist temple, which is also of a similar style. It can be regarded as the room where Ji Yuan lives temporarily.
After settling down Taoist Qingsong, Qi Wen took Ji Yuan to another room. Because it was always kept clean, there was no dust.
Qi Wen brought straw and made it under the bed with Ji Yuan, and then brought another bedding.
People in the mountains mainly rely on straw to make fires. Every household in Bingzhou has a straw shed, which is enough to burn until the rice matures and new grass is replenished. But here in Yunshanguan, they rely on firewood, and having straw ready is a kind of bedding. resources.
The two of them worked together for a while, preparing a resting place for Ji Yuan, a rare visitor to the Taoist temple.
“Mr. Ji, our Yunshan Temple is relatively simple, so we can only let you make do with it.”
Qi Wen made the bed and scratched his head a little embarrassed. The conditions were not good enough, at least not as good as the inn room that Ji Yuan had opened for their master and apprentice.
“Hey, it’s not bad, it’s not bad. I have stayed in even the worst places. At least there is a bed here. Okay, it’s getting late, so you should go back and rest.”
“Well, I have to look after my master. I heard that drunk people will feel uncomfortable at night.”
Ji Yuan waved his hand.
“Go ahead, but you don’t need to pay attention to your master’s situation. He will wake up in a few days. Just prepare some cold water for him.”
“Hey… By the way, Mr. Ji, the doors and windows must be closed at night. Although it is rare, there are sometimes animals like jackals wandering around the Yanxia Peak.”
“I know, I know!”
Ji Yuan replied nonchalantly.
“Mr. Ji, you have great martial arts skills, but you still have to be careful and don’t take it seriously!”
Seeing that Qi Wen was speaking in an educational tone, Ji Yuan had no choice but to hand over his hand and say solemnly.
“Okay, thank you Taoist Master for informing me, Ji must pay attention!”
After Qi Wen scratched his head in embarrassment and left, Ji Yuan also took off his shoes and sat on the bed. He could vaguely hear the movement in the room opposite. After sitting like this for more than a quarter of an hour, Yunshan Temple became quiet.
Calculating the time, it is only Xu Shi now, it was around eight or nine o’clock in the evening in my previous life.
There are wooden windows in the room, and the windows are supported by wooden poles, so you can see the starry sky.
Ji Yuan looked out the window, thinking about Yunshan Temple.
I was chatting with the master and apprentice at the dinner table just now, and I learned that this Taoist temple was built quite a long time ago. It was built by several Taoist priests from the ancestors of Master Qi Xuan about forty or fifty years ago, and they dried the bricks and carried them by themselves. Later, the Taoist temple was built with the help of the squire.
Taoists generally like to build Taoist temples on high mountains because they are closer to the stars.
In addition to pursuing tranquility, the Taoist practitioners of Yunshan Temple also practice health-preserving skills to strengthen the body, as well as divination and some superficial methods to exorcise evil spirits. The divination method has always been used, but the tricks for exorcism There are also some uses.
In its heyday, Yunshan Temple once had eight Taoists practicing here, but now only Taoist Qingsong and his disciple Qi Wen remain.
It’s not that people have passed away. In fact, the only ones who passed away in the temple were Qingsong Taoist master and his uncle. Most of the other Taoist priests went out and never came back. Find Shuyuan www． zhaoshuyuaｎ.com
Some have gone down the mountain to get married and have children, while others have not been heard from.
Taoist priests here can get married and do not have to be vegetarians all the time. They need to fast on certain days. However, no Taoist priests go up the mountain to marry their wives, and those who go down the mountain to start a family no longer regard themselves as Taoist priests.
“Quietness is hard to find, or hard to endure…”
Ji Yuan simply got off the bed again, put on his shoes, opened the door and went outside. The lights in the house opposite had been turned off, and the entire Yunshan Temple was quiet.
Ji Yuan looked up at the sky. The stars were so close that they seemed within reach.
In the sky of this world, there are stars like the Big Dipper that we have been familiar with for two lifetimes. The sun still rises in the east and sets in the west, and the hours are similar. However, the conditions such as mountains, rivers, and geography are completely different from those in the previous life, and the heaven and earth are even more vast.
Don’t say more is something that Ji Yuan occasionally thinks about but can’t understand at all.
“Oh woo… oh woo… oh woo…”
There are sounds of animals at the foot of the mountain, and there is a sense of leisure in the mountain.
Ji Yuan looked to the east from a distance. The peaks blocking the front were not as high as Yanxia Peak, and those higher than Yanxia Peak were mostly on both sides. At sunrise, this peak had an unobstructed view, and the situation was similar when looking to the west.
After looking at the sky, the earth, the mountains, and the wind, and scanning and feeling for a week, Ji Yuan couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
‘It’s indeed a good place, that’s it! ’
