In addition to the prosperity, there is always a withered place, which is the embodiment of the vast land of China, more or less there are still some places that have not undergone urban industrialization, maintaining the most primitive state of life, they have been forgotten in the corner since ancient times.

As for whether it was unintentional or deliberate, no one knows, and no one will care.

On this day, Wang Le came to a forgotten area in the corner of Beiyun Province in the south.

The mountains cover the sky and the sun, and the people are inaccessible, and when you go to this place, you will know what the mountain is, and it is majestic and majestic with the vicissitudes of time.

Dressed in a white long-sleeved shirt and jeans, Wang Le came to the foot of a mountain among the mountains empty-handed, squinted his eyes and looked at the mountain silently.

The trees are lush, obscuring the sky and the sun, empty and leisurely, with the occasional flock of birds rising from the forest and rushing into the sky, and the low roar of wild beasts echoing through the valleys and mountains.

The golden light in his eyes flashed, and the Broken Delusion Eye opened, and Wang Le saw a quaint Taoist temple on the side of the mountainside through the mountain forest that blocked his vision.

"Returning to the ruins, hey, it's kind of interesting. Wang Le put away the perspective ability of the Delusional Eye, and muttered softly.

Three days ago, Wang Le continued to go south after saying goodbye to the fat man in Lefang County, and did not stop at all on the way, and spent a day rushing to the territory of Beiyun.

Although Old Man Mu gave Wang Le the address, the Guixu Temple is located in the mountains, how can it be so easy to find.

Therefore, Wang Le first rested in the county town closest to the mountain range, and at the same time carefully inquired about some information from the nearby people before entering the mountain.

All the way over the mountains and mountains, for a martial arts master like Wang, it is like walking on the ground.

Coupled with the assistance of the Delusion-Destroying Eye, Wang Le found the peak where the Guiru Temple was located among the mountains early, and then hurried down and finally came to the foot of the mountain.

"The legend of Guixu is the bottomless valley in the sea, and the Taoist temple on this mountain takes this name, hehe. ”

Wang Le shook his head and muttered to himself as he walked along the overgrown stone path up the mountain in the direction where the Taoist temple was located. Of course, he wouldn't think that those Taoists in the Taoist temple, such as Master Qingfengzi, didn't understand the meaning of returning to the ruins.

So he didn't think about it for a while, and Wang Le didn't continue to think about it, after all, what the name of the Taoist temple had to do with his half a dime, even if it was called a tea can, it was just the bad taste of those Taoists.

Insects chirp and birds chirp, snakes and ants are rampant, there are streams flowing down the mountain, the sun is sprinkled and swaying from the gaps in the stacked branches and leaves, Wang Le walks through the light and shadow of the light and shadow, and unconsciously comes to this mountainside with an altitude of less than a thousand meters, and then seems to walk slowly and quickly to the front steps of the Guixu Taoist Temple.

The mountain gate is old and quaint, including this Taoist building, and there is not a single modern element mixed in with it.

The stone steps in front of the door are made of stones and have been polished by rain and shoe soles over the years, and now they look particularly round and restrained.

Wang Le raised his head and carefully studied the wooden plaque hanging on the mountain gate for a while with the three traditional characters of Guiruguan written on it, and then slowly walked along the steps to the closed mountain gate.

"Knock knock—"

The sound of the knocker broke the silence and echoed in the sky above the Taoist temple, and then Wang Le let go of the bracelet, put his hands behind his back, and stood in front of the mountain gate with a calm face.

"Squeak-"

After a while, amid the sound of the wooden door opening from the inside, an old Taoist priest wearing a gray Taoist robe, with a thin body and missing teeth, appeared in Wang Le's eyes.

"Who is this little friend?" Lao Dao looked up at Wang Le outside the door and asked with a look of confusion.

I saw Wang Le smile slightly, salute the old Taoist in the door, and then open his mouth to introduce himself: "Boy Wang Le, this time I came to visit Xiaoyaozi's seniors, and brought a letter from the elders in the family." ”

Lao Dao looked Wang Le up and down, then opened the wooden door to make way out, and said with a gentle smile: "Old Dao Fa Qingyangzi, Xiaoyou will speak again when you come in first." ”

After Wang Le crossed the threshold and walked into the Taoist temple, he took a look and saw that in addition to two ancient trees that are hundreds of years old, and a stone table with a chessboard painted under the tree, the most valuable thing is that there is a large incense burner about one meter high and made of brass under the front steps of the main building, but look at the incense ash inside to know that there are not many pilgrims.

Under the guidance of this old Taoist called Qingyangzi, Wang Le walked through the courtyard and walked down the steps to the temple.

The Taoist Sanqing deity is facing the gate, and an oil lamp is lit under the seat, which is particularly solemn and abnormal.

According to Taoist etiquette, Wang Le closed his eyes slightly in front of the statue of Sanqing and prayed for a while, then performed three bows and nine knocks, and then got up to take the three treasure incense from Qingyangzi and inserted it into the incense burner in the order of center, right and left.

After all these rules were completed, Qingyangzi introduced Wang Le into the small room behind the guests.

"Wang Le Xiaoyou, this is the mountain wild tea that is fried by this seat, although it is not as good as those oolong red tops in the red world, but it also has a unique flavor. ”

After pouring the tea and taking a seat for the two guests, Qingyangzi said with a gentle smile.

I saw that Wang Le was not polite, picked up the tea cup that is rarely used in this era, first gently sipped the hot tea, and then drank it dry in one gulp, then closed his eyes, immersed in the smell of tea, as if the old monk was calm, with a sense of stability that young people do not have, which couldn't help but make Qingyangzi, who was sitting opposite, flash a trace of imperceptible appreciation in his eyes.

Two or three minutes later, Wang Le opened his black and white eyes, a smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and he opened his mouth to Qingyangzi with satisfaction: "This tea is good, and the skill of the predecessors in roasting tea is even more wonderful." ”

After a pause, Wang Le continued: "This hand-fried tea is far from being comparable to today's machine frying, but the requirements for hand-frying are also high, otherwise it is easy to fry this tea and burn it will be wasted, and the wild tea fried by the predecessors is still fresh and tender, maintaining the original taste, sober and natural without a trace of impurities, after drinking, it makes people have an endless aftertaste." ”

Qingyangzi smiled, not modest, the smug color on his face flashed, and then picked up the teacup and drank it. After all, he is the only one in this view all the year round, and today finally a junior came, and it doesn't hurt to listen to the other party's sycophants. Besides, his skill in roasting tea is really good, and he can afford this praise.

The two drank tea for a while, exchanged simple greetings to each other, and after introducing themselves, they finally turned to the topic, only to see Qingyangzi say with a hint of apology and regret: "The viewer has traveled all over the world over the years, and he has never looked back, and Xiaoyou has run in vain this trip." ”

Wang Le was stunned, although he had long been prepared for Xiaoyaozi's absence in the Taoist Temple, but he still couldn't avoid some disappointment.
