Since Ji Tianci's disappearance, Lu Manwen's daily life has become torment. The affairs of the animation club have basically been handed over to He Xiaolong, and she only occasionally goes to class on weekdays. Almost every day, I would ask my father if he had received news from Ji Tianci, but what he heard was disappointment or disappointment.

It had been two weeks since the end of the Fengshen Cup, and on this afternoon, as soon as Lu Manwen came out of the classroom, He Xiaolong hurriedly stopped her.

"President!"

He Xiaolong's face was no longer obscene, and there was more solemnity between his eyebrows.

A few months ago, Lu Manwen told him that Ji Tianci went abroad to play, but he was found abroad, and until now, there is still no news.

He Xiaolong was sad and worried, but he knew that Lu Manwen was more uncomfortable than him, and seeing her now, He Xiaolong sympathized with her even more.

"What's the matter?" Lu Manwen had a haggard face, and there was no emotion in his tone, as if he had lost interest in everything. It's a good year, but his face is full of sadness, which only makes people feel distressed.

"Uncle Ji just called......

"Uncle Ji?" Lu Manwen's eyes looked like a pool of stagnant water.

"Well, it's a call from my father, who left my phone number with his family when he entered the school, in case the family couldn't contact him. ”

Lu Manwen finally got a little nervous, "What did he say? Did you tell him?"

When he was with Ji Tianci, Lu Manwen would often hear Ji Tianci mention his father, Qingfeng Daochang. She knew that Ji Tianci and Qingfeng Dao Chang had a deep relationship, but these two were not ordinary people, and they hardly had ever been in contact with each other on weekdays. Now that Ji Tianci is missing, Qingfeng Dao Leader may not know the news yet, but if He Xiaolong says something, it will only make this elder more sad.

He Xiaolong was a little hesitant and replied in a low voice, "I...... I thought he knew it all. ”

"You!" Lu Man said in a disgraced manner, "How is Uncle Ji now?" ”

He Xiaolong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, like a child who had done something wrong, "As soon as Uncle Ji called, he asked if Tianci had returned to the dormitory, and he said that tomorrow was Tianci's birthday, and he missed him very much." I thought that Uncle Ji already knew that Tianci was missing, and now he was looking around for news with hope, I ...... I comforted him and said that we would try our best to find him, and it turned out to be ......"

"You! You! You're so stupid!" Lu Manwen was flustered, and hurriedly asked again: "How is Uncle Ji now, did he say anything?"

He Xiaolong tilted his head, as if he was very puzzled, "Uncle Ji doesn't seem to be worried about Ji Tianci, he also said that he wants to see you." ”

"See me?"

"En!" He Xiaolong couldn't stop nodding.

Lu Manwen stood in place and thought for only a few seconds, then asked He Xiaolong again, "Do you know how to get to Jinniu Mountain?"

"Yes, Uncle Ji said it very clearly on the phone. ”

After hearing this, Lu Manwen immediately walked towards his car, just took two or three steps, and then looked back at He Xiaolong, "Why are you still stunned, let's go!"

***

As the sun sets over the horizon, a 911 shuttles through National Highway 905 with a dull roar of engines. By the time it came to the foot of Taurus Mountain, the stars had hung in the night sky.

Lu Manwen and He Xiaolong opened the car door and stepped on the mountain trail. The road was illuminated by starlight, surrounded by the sound of insects, and occasionally a night mist drifted in front of the eyes, obscuring the view ahead, making the whole hill even more mysterious.

Halfway up the mountain, I saw the light gathered together and danced rhythmically, which was the light emitted by fireflies.

On the spacious podium sat several shops, all of which were closed at this point, except for the door of a Taoist temple in the center.

The plaque under the eaves of the Taoist temple reads the three big characters of "Cheguguan", which is the destination of Lu Manwen's trip.

Standing at the door, she was apprehensive, she didn't know how to face Qingfeng Dao Chief, and remembered that this was the first time she saw Ji Tianci's elders, and she forgot to prepare some gifts, so she came empty-handed.

Along the way, I thought about what to say to Qingfeng Dao Chief, and I forgot to take care of myself, and I didn't know what kind of embarrassment I was at this time.

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Manwen stepped over the threshold with a hard head, and He Xiaolong followed.

As soon as they entered the gate, their eyes lit up. They had already seen the scale of the entire Taoist temple from the door, but as soon as they walked into the Taoist temple, they never expected that it would be so "vast" inside.

The Taoist temple is full of flowers and trees, and I know which rockeries and rivers are artificially repaired, but they are placed there to make people think that they are mountain waterfalls. Countless fireflies floated in the air and slowly moved, like stars in the sky, walking a trajectory that the human eye could not catch.

It is these "landscapes and stars" that make the originally small courtyard vast.

"You're here!"

A deep voice resounded throughout the Taoist temple, and just listening to the voice, you would think that it was a man in the prime of life, but what emerged from the night was an old man wearing a shabby Taoist robe and full of white hair.

"Are you Uncle Ji?" Lu Manwen asked.

The old man nodded.

Lu Manwen was surprised, the person in front of him did not match Ji Tianci's description, Qingfeng Dao Chang should be a middle-aged man, why is he so old? His long white hair has become a little thin, and his face is even more wrinkled, if it weren't for his steps and voice still being powerful, Lu Manwen would not have found the slightest trace of a middle-aged man.

"You're Miss Manwen, aren't you? This is Xiaolong's nephew?"

Qingfeng Dao Chang first looked at Lu Manwen seriously, with an approving smile on his face, and then took a closer look at He Xiaolong, but this look was very good for a while, and after seeing it, a strange look appeared on his face.

If it weren't for the fact that it was already dark at night, He Xiaolong would probably be uncomfortable by the gaze of Qingfeng Dao Leader.

"Uncle Ji, I'm sorry...... I should have told you about it before. Lu Manwen lowered his head, looking apologetic, not daring to look directly at Qingfeng Dao Chief.

"Don't feel guilty, I've got the godsend. Some of the things you thought I didn't know, I'm afraid I know better. ”

Lu Manwen's eyes lit up, and he immediately raised his head: "Uncle Ji knows where the heavenly gift is?"

"I don't know. Qingfeng Dao Chang shook his head with a smile.

As soon as He Xiaolong heard this, he shouted in his heart, if it weren't for your God-given father, Lao Tzu would have cursed.

Lu Manwen's face showed disappointment again, "Then what did Uncle Ji mean by what he said just now?"

Instead of answering this question, Daoist Qingfeng asked, "Do you find that my appearance is not consistent with what the heavens have described?"

Lu Manwen nodded unconsciously.

"This is a heavenly punishment, I was punished by heaven because I knew too much heavenly opportunity, and my life was broken. After Qingfeng Daoist finished speaking, he made another gesture of please: "Please come with me, let's talk again in the Xuanyuan Palace." ”

Without waiting for Lu Manwen and He Xiaolong to reply, Qingfeng Dao Chang turned around and walked straight to the main hall in the middle of the courtyard.

Lu Manwen immediately followed the footsteps of the Qingfeng Dao Chief, and He Xiaolong was still immersed in the Qingfeng Dao Chief's sentence "Know the Heavenly Machine" just now.

"This stinks like!"
