Nearly an hour has passed, but the group has not yet reached the foot of Yanxia Peak. They are still walking in the Yunshan Mountain, much slower than when Qi Wen came.
Yunshan is already used to Qi Wen, but for Huang Xingye, the mountain road is bumpy, and it is not very friendly to his four servants, especially when carrying things. Barely better.
Li Mian is also a martial artist after all. Although he is not a master of martial arts, he can still count in Dongle County. On the other side of the county government, only the county lieutenant is better than Li Mian. What are the other arrests and arrests? If you don’t work hard, you can’t be as good as those who work hard.
Looking at Qi Wen walking swiftly in front of him, and then at the basket of things behind him, Li Mian couldn’t help but sigh.
“This little Taoist master really doesn’t know how to do martial arts? It’s a bit exaggerated to say that this physique is because he is used to walking on mountain roads!”
Huang Xingye looked at the burdens carried by several servants. Four people carried two sets of burdens. The baskets under the poles were not big. They contained cloth, brocade, wine, and cakes. In terms of weight, the contents should not be as large as the others. Qi Wen’s basket, after all, Qi Wen’s basket was stuffed with bacon, eggs, pumpkins, taro and other things given by the farmers. They were all bulk goods.
“Huh…huh…no wonder, no weird, the more this happens…huh…this Yunshan Temple, the more it proves that we are right…huh…”
Huang Xingye is also getting older. Although he has not gained much weight, his physical strength is weak after all. After climbing the mountain for so long, he is already out of breath.
Qi Wen still feels quite relaxed at the moment. In fact, if he had been carrying heavy objects for so long before, he would have been very tired, but recently he feels that his physical strength has improved a lot, and he can walk very briskly when going down the mountain to carry water.
After climbing up this gentle hillside and finally reaching the foot of Yanxia Peak, Qi Wen turned around with excitement and shouted at the people who had finished driving a few feet behind.
“Work harder, everyone, we have arrived at Yanxia Peak and we can start climbing!”
Huh? Can you start climbing?
Then what were we doing just now?
Huang Xingye and others were in a daze. They thought they were almost at Yunshan Mountain, but when they heard such words, they looked up at the towering Yanxia Peak and swallowed subconsciously.
Not counting the height of this hillside and ignoring calculations such as altitude, starting from Qi Wen’s feet, the total height of Yanxia Peak is about 150 feet, and Yunshan Temple is about 100 feet high. .
Although it is not actually very high, the **** is much steeper. During the climbing process, I walked and stopped again. When they arrived not far from Yunshan View, Huang Xingye and several servants were already there. He was so tired that even Li Mian, who had been supporting Huang Xingye, was sweating profusely.
Qi Wen wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves and shouted excitedly into the Taoist temple.
“Master, Mr. Ji~~~We have a guest~~~~”
After several shouts, Taoist Qingsong and Ji Yuan, who had already heard the noise, came out together.
“Hahaha… Several believers have come from afar, and some are far away to welcome us, some are far away to welcome us!”
“Please, please, please come to Yunshan Temple to rest!”
Taoist Qingsong exchanged greetings and stepped forward together with Ji Yuan. Each of them took the burden from several servants and helped them carry it to the temple. This was not a place where each other refused to accept gifts.
Inside the temple, Ji Yuan and the two Taoists moved several stools and chairs out from the kitchen and two rooms respectively, allowing a few people to sit down and rest by the kitchen.
In addition to the tea from the Taoist temple, some snacks brought by Huang Xingye and others were also brought out directly for everyone to eat together.
This consumes a lot of physical energy, and even if they bring gifts, they will not be polite.
After these visitors had rested for a while, especially Huang Xingye, who had also recovered his breath, Taoist Qingsong asked about the purpose of their visit.
“I wonder why these believers came to my Yunshan Temple? I heard Qi Wen said they came to express their gratitude? This gift is a bit heavy.”
Huang Xingye sorted out his thoughts. His words this time were different from Tong Qiwen’s words before. He opened his mouth to ask for help.
“Taoist Master Qingsong, you must save me! I’m in big trouble!”
While pleading, Huang Xingye stood up, bowed and raised his hands repeatedly.
“Boss Huang, what happened to you?”
Taoist Qingsong, who quickly stood up and supported Huang Xingye, also looked surprised. Even Ji Yuan, who was sitting near the kitchen door, also frowned.
“Taoist Priest, Huang must first thank you for this. You saved my life by interpreting the signature for me that day…”
Huang Xingye first told Qi Wen exactly what he had said to Qi Wen on the road, but this person was much more detailed, even including his suspicion that the Earth God saved his life.
“Since Boss Huang has reported it to the police and the county government is also fully pursuing it, even if the main culprit escapes temporarily, he should not be able to threaten you.”
Taoist Qingsong was a little confused.
“Oh Taoist priest, if only this were the case! But some time ago, I felt grateful for Tudigong’s help, so I went to the temple in the town to express my gratitude! Although the Tudigong temple in our town has not yet been repaired, the statue of Tudigong has been erected. , I went to offer big fish and meat…”
This was a good thing. The uninformed people nearby were puzzled. Huang Xingye paused and continued.
“After Huang made the offering, he used the cup to ask the Earth God whether the crisis had been restored this time… However, the cup fell to the ground three times, and none of the holy lines were found. Huang was so flustered that he dropped it six times, and dropped it nine times. There was no holy line every time, and the tenth time even the cup was broken into pieces…”
“Hiss…”
This made Taoist Qingsong take a breath. He was well versed in the art of divination, and he knew the dangers of the hexagrams here better than Huang Xingye. If Ji Yuan hadn’t been sitting next to him, he might not have been able to calm down at this moment.
The cup, like the bucket, is a divination tool commonly used in temples. It is usually made from the roots of golden bamboo and cut into two halves. Some also use two shells of a certain small clam instead. The basic size is About one finger long and **** wide.
Used in conjunction with signing buckets to ask for fortune or just asking about good or bad luck, it is a simple way for pilgrims to communicate with the gods. Some of them work well and some don’t, and they have something to do with the gods themselves and the piety of the pilgrims.
The cup was dropped by the pilgrim himself from a height of several feet. One head and one tail represent the combination of yin and yang. It is the “holy line”, which is also “auspicious”. Others, whether they are two heads or two tails, are “unfortunate”.
In Huang Xingye’s case, it is obviously impossible for the land government to refuse to respond.
“So because Tu Tu Gong responded that you were dangerous, Boss Huang came to me and wanted me to help you calculate it carefully?”
Taoist Qingsong analyzed it and saw Huang Xingye shaking his head uneasily.
“It’s more than that, it’s more than that…that earthly master…”
Speaking of this, Huang Xingye seemed to be frightened and spoke in a more nervous tone.
“On the second day, I felt uneasy and went to the Tutu Temple to offer incense. I found that many people from the town were gathered in front of the temple. After asking, I found out that the Tutu Temple had been vandalized last night. I entered the temple and Look, the left hand of the Land Master has been torn off…”
Huang Xingye’s face turned extremely ugly when he said this. At that time, it suddenly became clear to him that the statue of the Earth God was definitely not destroyed by thieves as the villagers said. It was probably destroyed by something terrible.
Listening to Huang Xingye’s words, everyone present felt a chill rising from the soles of their feet and straight to the top of their heads, even people like Li Mian who knew something about the situation felt the same.
Taoist Qingsong’s face was a little pale. Even if he usually tried to commit suicide, he knew that this matter was definitely beyond his ability.
“Huang, Boss Huang, this… Yunshan Temple is just a small view in the wild, and I am just a poor Taoist priest who tells people’s fortunes. How can I care about you…”
Huang Xingye’s face was uglier than crying. He went to Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com and kept bowing and begging.
“Taoist Master Qingsong, I know that I was blind at first. You actually wanted to take care of it in front of the temple that day. It was me who didn’t know what to do and had a bad attitude. I left several times without listening to advice. Please give me some more advice.” Once I get a chance, Mr. Huang will definitely not forget Taoist Master’s kindness!”
Taoist Master Qingsong was also panicked. This kind of thing was so weird that he even forgot that the great **** Ji Yuan was nearby.
“Boss Huang, you misunderstood, I…”
But before Qi Xuan could finish speaking, Ji Yuan with a serious face spoke for the first time.
“I dare to ask Boss Huang, can I go to the City God Temple of Dongle County to ask for help?”
Ji Yuan’s voice was clear and strong, as if it had some kind of calming power, calming everyone in the room.
Everything about this thing is weird. He has the ability to attack the land lord, but Huang Xingye, a mortal, is still running around?
