Chapter Twenty-Four: The Dream of Spring and Autumn

It took Lao Dao and Qin Chuan several hours to climb to the top of the cliff, a little bit of the mountain wind was slightly cold, a gust of wind blew, blowing Qin Chuan shivered, and there was no change around the Taoist temple, the only difference was that on the door of the Taoist temple, a famous post appeared!

This Taoist temple is located at the top of the cliff, about dozens of zhang, the surrounding of the Taoist temple is inserted into the ground with stone pillars as a fence, the middle encloses two out of the courtyard, the gate of the Taoist temple is a black sandalwood gate, there are several door nails on it, but the strange thing is that the Taoist temple hangs a plaque, but there is no word on it, the original so-called Ma Taling Taoist Temple is just a place name, not the name of the Taoist temple.

There are usually no believers coming to this Taoist temple, after all, it is too dangerous to climb the vine ladder, but Lao Dao and Qin Chuan have only been out for a few days, but someone has already sent the name card over, and it seems that the other party knows the whereabouts of the two, which makes Lao Dao and Qin Chuan frightened.

Qin Chuan's eyes were the sharpest, and he was the first to find this famous post, and was about to start to check the famous post at the door of the Taoist temple, but he was pulled back by Lao Dao: "Don't worry, let me see who this person is." ”

I saw Lao Dao squinting his eyes, turning around the trees, and there were words in his mouth, as if he was checking something, Qin Chuan already knew that Lao Dao had arranged a formation around the Taoist temple, and a little wind and grass could not escape his eyes.

Before, there were young people who didn't know where to hear, the Taoist temple of this horse stepping mountain has been a long time, there are a lot of antique treasures, there is only one old Taoist and young children who are watching, ready to come up from the vine ladder in the middle of the night, and it took a lot of effort to reach the top of the cliff, but the old Taoist has already been waiting here, so scared that the small and the like almost fell off the cliff, the old Taoist saw this, just said: "Come here, it's better to stay overnight and then go." "I took the little man around the Taoist temple, but he didn't find any treasures, and this person couldn't help but bow deeply when he saw this, and felt guilty. Lao Dao just sent him a sentence: "There is a golden house in the book." Encourage him to go into the capital to win fame and help the world, I heard that this person is mixed in the capital, not like the down-and-out appearance of the year, it is really a tree to die, people to live.

Qin Chuan stood on the edge of the cliff, leaning against the stone pillar and dozing, waiting for Lao Dao to check the surrounding formations, there were too many things to see and hear along the way, Qin Chuan already had a little understanding of the martial arts rivers and lakes, and he also had a trace of yearning for the prosperous capital. At this moment, the trees of the Taoist temple have turned yellow, and only the branches of the osmanthus tree have a little yellow flowers. Thinking that he was about to drink osmanthus wine, Qin Chuan didn't seem to be sleepy again.

"Old Dao, okay, no, our Taoist temple is in this place where birds don't, who will come? I'm afraid it's not the wind blowing over. Qin Chuan looked at the famous post on the Taoist temple and asked without confidence in his heart.

"Hmph, rabbit cub, the probability of this post being blown up by the wind is greater than the probability that you have Danhai and Empty Mountain, if the wind blows up, why can you bypass the formation I set up impartially, and it happens to be posted on the door of this Taoist temple?"

It turns out that the other party is a strong man in the martial arts rivers and lakes, who can climb to the top of this cliff, and then be able to bypass the formation, I am afraid that the cultivation of this body is not weaker than the old way, but who this person is, neither of them knows.

Thinking that there is such a strong man who took advantage of the two of them to go out of the far door and sent the name card over, and he climbed to the top of the cliff one night, and then he couldn't beat this person, and he couldn't run away, and before he didn't know the identity of the other party, it was always wrong to be careful.

Qin Chuan couldn't help but ask: "This, this, I'm afraid this is not the one who beat the watch, I said some bad things before, did he come to the door? This person's stomach is too small, and he can't allow others to say half a word about him." ”

Lao Dao looked back from the surroundings at this moment, and looked at Qin Chuan so cautiously, he couldn't help but say funny: "I was so arrogant before, and I said that I would definitely find trouble in the future, but now I am like this, Qin Chuan, Qin Chuan, you are just a hero." ”

Qin Chuan saw that Lao Dao was joking, and naturally knew that there was no big deal, and he couldn't help but feel a little more confident in his heart: "This one who fights more, splits the mountain with a sword, how can I, a Taoist boy who has no power to tie the chicken, fight with him, but if you dare to compete with me, no matter how many times he fights, he is not my opponent." ”

At this moment, the whistling mountain wind sounded, blowing the old Taoist very sober: "This person can send the name card to the door of the Taoist temple, and can not be easily detected by us, it must not be easy for people to know his identity, let's go, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, no matter what tricks he makes, we will take it." ”

Lao Dao said, took the suona off his waist and walked forward, and Qin Chuan only knew at this moment that he had not put down the quilt, which made him have a sore back and legs, and he was about to lose his steps. But seeing that Lao Dao was about to reach the door, he gritted his teeth and followed.

In the middle of the two door nails, there is the crack between the two doors on the left and right, and a name card wrapped in brown paper is pasted on the black sandalwood door, and there is no sign on it, and I don't know who sent it. But this Taoist temple is only Qin Chuan and Lao Dao, is there a third person?

Qin Chuan couldn't help but think in his heart: After coming to this Taoist temple for several years, except for occasionally going down the mountain to exchange oil and salt, he regularly went to the city to catch up with the market, except for the old Tao, there was no one else who was familiar with him, so this post must be for the old Tao. Thinking of this, Qin Chuan opened his mouth and said: "I'm afraid that I didn't travel through the mountains and rivers when I was young and owe some romantic debts, but now this old man has come to the door, old man, I'm afraid you can't hide." Why don't you go to Qingzhou City with me to hide for a while? Ignore these children's affections, first be happy and happy, have wine to eat, and eat when you have food, even if you find Qingzhou City, I am afraid that you will not be able to make any big waves. ”

Qin Chuan had already expected in his heart that it must be an old Taoist romantic debt coming to the door, otherwise with an old Taoist personality, it would be impossible not to speak at this moment.

And Lao Dao was standing in front of the Taoist temple in a daze at the moment, as if he wanted to see something through the brown paper.

Qin Chuan couldn't hold it back for a long time, and was about to reach out to get the name post, but when he was about to touch it, he was interrupted by Lao Dao with a suona: "Children's families, what kind of excitement are you messing around." ”

"Haha, I'll just say it's an old man, if it weren't for some words in it, I wouldn't be able to see each other?" Qin Chuan saw Lao Dao's behavior like this, and he was even more determined in his previous thoughts.

Lao Dao ignored Qin Chuan, thought about it for a long time, or took down the name post, opened the outer seal wrapped in kraft paper, and inside was a paper wrapped with gold thread, with a few scribbled small characters on it, Qin Chuan could see it quite clearly next to him: Five years later, Luozi Cliff!

On this paper, there is no signature, there is no trace, except for a few strokes, but the pen is strong, and the meaning of killing can be seen between the lines.

It didn't take long for Lao Dao to sigh and push open the door of the Taoist temple, and with the sound of the rotation of the wooden stake, the Taoist temple suddenly appeared in front of him. Just into the eye is a small courtyard, the ground is a bluestone paved road, the surrounding corner of the wall in the unknown weeds in the stone crevices grow wildly, in the middle of the courtyard is placed a blue-gray vat, and then go further is the main hall, but at the moment the main hall door is locked, can not see the appearance of the inside.

Qin Chuan saw Luoziya on the paper, thinking that it was a place name, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Hey, old Tao, I'm afraid that after five years, you really want to go to Luoziya to see your old friend." ”

Lao Dao took out some firewood from the courtyard and put it on the ground at this moment, and said in a daze: "I had a fight with someone before, so I promised others one thing, and it was agreed at the time of separation, if I was still alive, I would go to Luozi Cliff to meet him, and after five years, it was the agreed period." However, this person is not good-looking, she's just a ghost. ”

Hearing Lao Dao's answer, Qin Chuan couldn't help laughing: "You said that you are a person who has returned to the Dao, but now you are disturbed by the world, how can you cultivate the Dao heart, it is better to learn from me, and be fetted." ”

"Five years later, I'll take you to her. Lao Dao left this sentence, and after speaking, he went back to the courtyard to the east of him, and Qin Chuan was very surprised when he heard it, and he didn't know what Lao Dao meant.

But today is too tired, I have driven a lot of mountain roads, and climbed the vine ladder for several hours with a quilt on his back, Qin Chuan is already tired, ready to get up and go back to his room, the voice of the old Tao came faintly: "Rabbit cub, if you dare to go back to bed without washing, tomorrow you will go down the mountain to get some oil and salt back." ”

Thinking that he might have to climb the vine ladder tomorrow, Qin Chuan's two calves were still trembling, and he immediately took over at this time: "Wash, wash, wash, wash immediately." Qin Chuan picked up the dry firewood on the ground, picked up the fire fold to ignite the fire, and hurriedly went to the pool next to it to fill a few buckets of water into the green ash jar in this courtyard, this temple is on the cliff, during which only a small mountain spring flows, usually rely on the rain to barely survive, fortunately, the humidity in the mountain is slightly heavier, and there is a lot of precipitation, so as to solve the problem of thirst and washing.

Qin Chuan saw that the water was already hot, and there was already a faint white vapor in the green ash tank, so he took off his cloth very skillfully and jumped into the green ash tank, the water was just over his neck, and the water temperature was not hot or cold, Qin Chuan was naturally very comfortable, as if all the fatigue along the way had disappeared. If you have a heart to take a closer look, on the surface of the burning ashtank, there is a faint inscription appearing, such as the old road before throwing out the talisman seal is similar, but it is difficult to know its meaning, with the rise of the fire, the inscription began to flow, at this moment the quiet cliff Taoist temple, the surrounding trees suddenly moved, but at this moment there is no mountain wind, this is really strange.

But Qin Chuan, who was not in the water, didn't know this, he leaned his head against the wall of the tank, thinking about things along the way:

Although Li Xiuyan was born in a big family in Ningzhou, but the road is far away to welcome a relative, in the bison pass was almost robbed of the treasure and took his life, if it is not for the old way to help, it must be a happy event into a funeral; the two people who appeared later, a black and a white, should be the disciples of a certain sect, coveting the great effect of the Qiankun Pearl, breaking the rules of the temple and the sect, thinking of the two of them for the spiritual cultivation, I am afraid that it will never be empty, how can I want to be born out of nowhere, a killing character, the two of them did not say a word, turned around and left; and then the old Tao said that the Taoist temple of Ma Taling was actually split by a sword, and this beating man was in the capital, Even the old Dao's character of never suffering is helpless, it seems that this is really a world of martial arts practitioners, the strong are respected, and the others are no different from ants, Qin Chuan can't help but think, mortals like himself can't really practice, so just need to blink an eye, the strong man of the martial arts rivers and lakes can take his life, so what is the meaning of this panicked life?

Besides, Lao Dao never said anything about his life experience, obviously Lao Dao was deliberately hiding something? But Qin Chuan also knew that Lao Dao was a person, and there must be something unspeakable, otherwise he would definitely vomit it quickly. It's just that I don't even have Danhai and Empty Mountain, and I can't appreciate the talented people and strange things in the martial arts rivers and lakes.

As the fire under the blue ash tank became worse, there were already bubbles in the water, but Qin Chuan did not feel the rise in water temperature at all, but felt that the water body was cold, and the limbs were cold, and there was a faint white gas coming out of Qin Chuan's back, and the inscriptions around the cylinder body turned faster, and it seemed that the surrounding aura was gathering in this direction, and in the distance, a meteor suddenly crossed the sky, and the entire sky was extremely dazzling for a moment.

The scene at this moment is really strange.

A Taoist boy soaked in the outdoor green ash jar, the firewood under the fire burned vigorously, the top of the head is the vast starry sky, the moonlight shines in the bluestone courtyard in the courtyard, from time to time there is a little autumn wind blowing in the ears, blowing the leaves slightly, this situation, when it is really outside the wandering wreckage, so not pleasant.

In the capital, thousands of kilometers away from the Mataling Taoist Temple, a man stood at the highest point of the capital with his hair scattered, watching the sky turn and the stars moving and muttered to himself: "Three walls and four elephants, the east Canglong, the west white tiger, the south Vermilion Bird, and the north Xuanwu, are the yin on the old hall and know the order of the sun and the moon, and see the ice in the bottle and know the cold and heat of the world." I have nothing to ask for in my life, but I hope that the world will be peaceful for all eternity, and the people will live in peace and establish their careers. Anyway, old accounts, someone must always calculate them clearly. ”

On the dojo of Kunlun Ruins, the sundial suddenly shone in the dark night, and the little master of the guard didn't even care about wearing shoes, so he hurriedly reported this vision to the master, and the master who was disturbed by the dream heard about it, but he didn't have any words, just said: "The avenue is facing the sky, and the avenue is simple." He paid no more attention to the crowd and fell asleep on the spot.

Hanging Temple, the mysterious place of legend, is also very lively at the moment, a monk with a ring scar on his head and a fierce face said to a little novice next to him: "Becoming and living in the void, life and living are different and perishing, the world is impermanent, and the Dharma is boundless." ”

The little novice replied thoughtfully, "Master, what should I do?"

The monk smiled: "Amitabha, follow the trend." ”

......

At this moment, Qin Chuan was still soaking in the green ash tank unconscious, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

Lao Dao, who was lying in the east courtyard, suddenly woke up and said: "I didn't expect to wake up so soon, don't spoil the big thing." Hurriedly got up, pinched the magic with both hands, extinguished the fire at the bottom of the tank, Qin Chuan, who was lying in the water, quickly woke up, and opened his eyes to see Lao Dao say: "I just had a dream." ”

When Lao Dao heard this, he asked from afar, "What is in the dream?"

Qin Chuan replied: "The sun, moon and stars are moving, and the vicissitudes of the sea are changing." ”

When Lao Dao heard this, he said with a solemn face: "I'm tired today, I'm overworked, you should rest early." ”
