Chapter Ninety-Five: Maoshan Mountain
There are fewer visitors to Maoshan in winter, the mountains are covered by the snow, it is like a giant wearing a white hat, look at it from afar, you can only see some green pines under the white snow still with green, quite a little proud of the snow wind bones, the most famous three palaces of Maoshan are between the white snow, the gray tile and red wall, especially eye-catching in a piece of greenery.
Walking all the way up the mountain, bypassing the main hall that received visitors, Tao Mengchu took Gu Yaopan and the two sisters directly into the inner courtyard behind the main hall---- a circle of gray tiles and white walls separated this courtyard from the glorious hall in front.
It was almost dusk, the light in the whole yard seemed a little dim, and the wooden houses became very blurred in the dusk light, the sky was not yet completely dark, and the lights in those houses were not yet turned on, so that even the flowers and trees beside the path became a mass of statues in different postures, which was strange.
Gu Yaopan looked at the carved window not far away, and tried hard to recall the original appearance of the Maoshan Sect, which was completely different from now, even this courtyard seemed to be new, and the wood used for the window lattices was still new and exuded the fragrance of wood.
After all, it is hundreds of years of vicissitudes, and it is different after all!
Gu Yaopan lowered her eyelids and followed behind Tao Mengchu, Xiao Ni followed her obediently, looking at her sister's expression with some memories, although she was curious, she didn't ask. Since she was a child, her parents told her that her sister had some secrets that she couldn't ask, and she just listened to her sister.
Walking along a path, Tao Mengchu stood in a small moon door and led in, took the two sisters to step up the two steps, pushed open a carved wooden door, and casually pressed the switch on the wall.
"The two of you will live here during this time, this small courtyard is the quietest, and no one will usually disturb you, you go to the bathroom to wash your face first, and I'll get you some food." ”
This is a small suite, it can be seen that it should be often used as a guest room, there is also a wall-mounted TV in the small hall, sofas and dining tables are readily available, the bedroom door is open, a large double bed is covered with snow-white sheets, Gu Yaopan and the two sisters sleep horizontally enough.
Gu Yaopan nodded, took Xiao Ni's hand and entered the room, after a day's journey, it was time to wash up.
Tao Mengchu helped the two of them close the door and turned to leave, going to get dinner for the two.
"Sister, why did we come to Maoshan? My parents never wanted to bring me to these places before. Xiao Ni asked as she put the things she had brought.
This has always been a question for her, since she was a child, her parents never took her into the Buddhist mountain gate, and I don't know why.
"There's something to ask. Gu Yaopan thought about it, the past was too long, and it was not clear in three or two sentences, so he simply didn't talk to Xiao Ni in detail.
However, her parents didn't bring her to the mountain gate, but they could talk to her, and let her know to be careful in the future. Thinking like this, Gu Yaopan took Xiao Ni's hand, nodded her forehead, and said softly:
"Why don't you ask me when you set off? Come and ask at this time? On other people's territory, I don't know how to be careful when I speak. ”
Xiao Ni stuck out her tongue, knowing that she was talking a little Meng Lang, but she still looked at Gu Yaopan with big eyes, expecting her explanation.
"Okay! I'll tell you, because the yin qi in your body is too heavy, if the Buddha Dao Mountain Gate is too righteous enough, you will have a chongke, besides, not all the Buddha Dao Mountain Gate is a rule, if you meet someone with a bad heart, it is not impossible to arrest you and make a furnace, so when you were young, your parents did not take you to this kind of place. ”
Gu Yaopan looked at Xiao Ni's eyes and added:
"But it's okay now, I drew a talisman for you to restrain the yin qi in your body, plus the fox fur that your seventeenth brother brought back this time and the formation I carved for you, you can go around in the future, don't worry. ”
"Yes, I know!" Xiao Ni nodded happily, she loved this New Year's gift!
The two of them finished washing up one after the other, and they heard a knock on the door. Tao Mengchu was holding a tray in his hand, which contained two simple dishes, one soup, and two bowls of rice.
"It's late tonight, I'm going to have some food, and I'll take you to play when I see the master tomorrow morning." Tao Mengchu said apologetically.
Gu Yaoni was already hungry after a day of traveling, Gu Yaopan didn't talk much, the two washed and slept after eating, and before going to bed, Gu Yaopan also sent a WeChat message to Lin Qianqian, telling her to remember to take the medicine made for her.
This time, Lin Qianqian was not lightly injured, and she was extremely dissatisfied with Shi Dejing's indiscriminate killing with a shot, although she was grateful to him for sending a bracelet to help her support Yao Niannian's initial attack, but her attitude towards Shi Dejing still had some subtle changes, and the relationship between the two has now become very awkward.
In this regard, not only Gu Yaopan, but even Tao Mengchu and Chen Xuanqing also said that they could not do anything.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Tao Mengchu ran over early and knocked on Gu Yaopan's door.
The three of them went to Maoshan's cafeteria for breakfast together, and then went all the way to the deepest courtyard, where the current head of Maoshan lived.
As soon as he walked to the front of the small courtyard, Tao Mengchu stopped, and looked at a few people standing at the gate of the small courtyard with some surprise, standing at the front was the current head of Maoshan Ge Yuanzhen, his practice was passed on from the Eastern Jin Dynasty Ge Hong, and standing behind him was Tao Mengchu's father Tao Youning and the other two elders.
"The old man came from afar! Maoshan Ge Yuan has lost his welcome, and he still looks at Haihan!"
Seeing Gu Yaopan come forward, Ge Yuan put one palm on his chest, and made a joke, wearing an apricot robe with black trim on his thin body, with a strand of long hair, which looked fluttering in the mountain wind.
"Gu Yaopan has seen the real person in charge of the sect!
Gu Yaopan stood on his chest with one palm, bowed slightly, and returned the salute to Ge Yuan, his clear eyes swept over the three people behind Ge Yuan, and finally fell on Ge Yuan's body.
The two saluted each other, their raised eyes collided, and an inexplicable atmosphere flowed between the two, but Gu Yaopan's eyes were always clear, just quietly looking at the energetic old man in front of him, and after a while, a smile appeared on Ge Yuan's face, and he turned sideways and said to Gu Yaopan:
"Fellow Daoists, please!"
Gu Yaopan nodded at Ge Yuan, bowed slightly towards the three elders and Tao Mengchu on the side, and then walked in with Xiao Ni behind Ge Yuan.
The incense in the furnace burned a thin pillar of smoke, and the fragrant and distant fragrance of Ningshen incense swirled around the entire clean room, Ge Yuan and Gu Yaopan sat opposite each other, and the rest of the people waited outside the clean room.
Afraid that Xiao Ni couldn't wait anymore, Tao Mengchu also deliberately took a tablet for her and let her put on headphones to watch TV.
The needle drop in the clean room could be heard, Ge Yuan looked at Gu Yaopan's young face, and couldn't help but sigh lightly.
No matter how profound the cultivation is, immortality is always an ethereal way, and in the end, she can't avoid Meng Po's spoonful of decoction, looking at the reincarnation seal on Gu Yaopan's body, Ge Yuan didn't know for a while that she wanted to ask so many questions, how much could she remember?
"I heard the news from Meng Chu the day before yesterday, the real body of Daoyou is the same as the picture left in my sect, I don't know if you are willing to reveal the details of this?"
After thinking about it, Ge Yuan decided to hand over the initiative to the other party.
It is obviously impossible for Gu Yaopan to show his true body, whether it is a human or a demon, it is taboo to reveal his true body for no reason, but there are too many questions to ask, and I don't know where to start for a while, it may be better for Gu Yaopan to talk about it, anyway, there is enough time.
