A bolt of lightning flashed high in the air and on the ground, and docked in mid-air, like a fiery serpent, embedding its tentacles deep into the thick clouds in the darkness not far away, followed by a rumbling thunder, between the lightning and flint, a group of men and horses from the east side of the road to the west, and then turned into a fork in the road towards the mountain, at the end of the road is an ancient temple located in the mountain, called Zhaoti.

Earlier today, the abbot of the monastery was notified that the guests were coming. The gate of the temple that had already passed the moment of lights out and closing was still wide open at this time, the red lanterns were hanging high, the candles were burning red, the two monks were drowsy under the eaves, a lightning and thunder made the two wake up from their sleep, and the sharp-eyed one vaguely saw a group of figures coming towards this side, and hurriedly told his companions to cheer up, people were coming.

This is already the twenty-fourth wave of guests ushered in by Zhaoti Temple, and the mustard seed building specially for pilgrims to settle down has been full, plus the newly renovated Prajna Hall and the Joy Building, which has been specially set aside for temporary requisition, at most two more households will be full. The temple population is already highly saturated, and in order to maintain order and fulfill the responsibilities of the host, the temple has to issue a "plan for dealing with special moments in the temple" to mobilize the enthusiasm of all monks in the temple and strive to make every guest enjoy good temple services and experience. Every morning, after ringing the morning bell, the abbot of the monastery would gather the disciples together, admonish them a few words, and start a beautiful and busy day for the disciples. Among all the disciples, the busiest is the kitchen monk, there are only 20 people in the monastery on weekdays, three kitchen monks make three big pot dishes per meal, plus a soup is enough, now the number of people has increased more than three times, where is the three kitchen monks enough, the day is going to rain, people want to eat, this group of people is so easy to dismiss, a dish is not satisfied, or they will fight and kill, completely ignoring the face of the Buddha, where to preside, the host can only "can't make it, can't make it" In desperation, I had to temporarily hire some people who were good at cooking from the nearby Zhuyu Town, anyway, none of the pilgrims lacked silver, and they were generous, as long as the hiring fee was high, there were no cooks who were not easy to invite. On the first day of the notice, a large number of women and men came to apply, and because the number of applicants was much more than needed, the monastery held a craft competition, each person made a dish, and the monks of the monastery voted after tasting it, and the top ten were retained.

Continuous lightning, the sky illuminated, on the mountain road, the figure of the team of people and horses became clearer, seeing that people were about to arrive, a monk hurriedly went to tell the abbot. This wave of people tonight is quite different from the people who came before, and they are the only ones who have been notified in advance, and the abbot specially instructed the monks to go to meet them in person after receiving the news. When the abbot went out to look, the two palanquins and four fierce chestnut horses were already waiting in front of the temple gate, and on each horse sat a cold-eyed samurai. Hearing the sound of people, out of the first sedan chair out of a gray-bearded Taoist, and the abbot after a while, he from the back of the carriage ushered in a ten-year-old boy, the little boy is dressed in brocade, with a jade jue on his body, the abbot is about to salute at a glance, was stopped by a long beard, the monks are surprised, this ten-year-old child does not know where it comes from, can let the abbot salute him.

"Now when I come to Guibao Temple, I still have to rely on the abbot's care, so I don't care about the empty courtesy. Let's talk more about it when we get inside. ”

"In that case, please ask the little boy to enter the temple quickly. The monastery has already prepared the upper room and the meal!"

"Good. ”

When everyone entered the temple, the monk looked at the sky, a few raindrops dropped on his forehead, a trace of coolness passed through the night and the monk's clothes, invaded the skin, the two monks hugged their arms and shivered, and tacitly turned off the lights and closed the door. Not far away, a white figure has been standing in the night for a long time, the white lightning reflects a delicate face, taking advantage of the bright light of the lightning, the white figure stretched out his left hand, the palm of the five fingers is as slender as an onion, covered with golden reticulated fine lines, driven by mana, the palm line began to glow faintly, the bright light flashed, those golden palm lines also disappeared, the palm returned to its original white appearance, the corners of the delicate beauty's mouth rose, and a trace of unconcealed smile appeared.

"Kunlun is finally going to get into action. ”

The red one went out, and the front fell into darkness, and the white figure quickly disappeared into the night.

The rain gradually became heavier, the little boy Tang Wuyi who had just entered the temple had fallen asleep at the moment, the room was warm and quiet, only the four cold-faced warriors in the outhouse snored from time to time, they escorted Tang Wuyi all the way, the spirit was highly concentrated, the road was trekking, and he was already tired, and when he arrived at the Zhaoti Temple, he could finally relax for a while, and he fell asleep soundly.

The indoor light is like a bean, reflecting the figures of the two on the window, the lights are flickering, and the shadows are swaying.

The host spoke first.

"Presumably that little boy is a member of the Tang family in the capital, I only know that the youngest of the Tang family is a daughter, the hexagram is peculiar, everyone knows it, she has entered the palace and become a concubine, I don't know which one this is?"

"This little boy is Tang Guogong's favorite grandson, named Tang Wuyi, who is ten years old. ”

"I have heard the reputation of the Tang family in the capital for a long time, and my temple has a lot of roots with the Tang family, this little prince can be favored by the Tang Guogong, it must be extraordinary, and now here, there is also a cause and effect. ”

"Is there any movement in this temple now?"

"To tell you the truth, before you came, my temple had already gathered guests from all over the world. ”

The long beard was slightly surprised, he didn't expect these people to get the news so quickly, they came faster than them, it must be the Tongling Pavilion, and only they can make the news known to everyone in the fastest time, then Xuanyuan Jimo will definitely come this time!

"I'm afraid most of them will return in vain. ”

"If it weren't for that incident five years ago?"

"Five years ago has long passed, and this time it's not for the sake of the old, but for the cause. Buddhism says that there is a cause and there must be an effect, and this is the truth!"

"In this case, it is inconvenient for the old monk to ask more, reading that the Tang family has built a temple for the meritorious sake, the old monk will definitely try his best to assist the little son, if there is something, just tell the old monk. ”

"The poor road is here for the first time, and there is indeed something that needs to be helped. It's so mountainous, I wonder what's so peculiar about this mountain?"

"If you want to ask about the peculiarities of this mountain, I am afraid that no one knows better than the people of Zhuyu Town, the old monk is dedicated to studying the Buddhist scriptures, and he is not very concerned about the things outside, and he can't help it, so he can know where to ask. ”

The night passed, when the sky was just bright, in the morning mist, a small group of people came from the town, including a energetic mother-in-law, a cheerful and neat aunt, a calm middle-aged man, and a sleepy-eyed little girl and a dozen other people, these are ten selected cooks and their own responsible people, one of the most eye-catching in this line, that is, Chen Li, who is known as the "fierce woman", people call her Chen Po, and the only little girl in the crowd is her daughter. Along the way, the laughter of Chen Po continued, breaking through the mist, straight to the door of the temple, hearing the laughter, the monk who watched the door knew that the person was coming, these cooks arrived earlier than the agreed time, and the monk also opened the temple door in advance. As soon as the group arrived, they were stopped by the monk in front of the temple to count the number of people, and the matter of helping the cook find someone to do was already said in advance, but this little girl ...... Before the monk asked, Chen Po took the initiative to explain, "This is my daughter Pear Vortex, my family is busy studying flowers and trees all day long, where can I take care of the child, she is still young, where can I rest assured that I can only take it with me!" "Okay, this girl looks well-behaved and clever, attracts people, go to the temple to play!" Hearing this, Chen Po was overjoyed, her baby daughter, she has been praised since she was a child, and every time she hears it, Chen Po's heart is beautiful. When the group entered the temple gate, they went directly to the back kitchen, and they began to get busy, and the pear vortex stood obediently with a pair of big eyes to watch the adults cook.

The fog gradually cleared and the sun came out. Tang Wuyi woke up from his sleep, last night he seemed to dream of the vague figure that appeared in his dreams repeatedly, just like before, he had forgotten everything in his dream after waking up. He sat up from the bed and habitually spread out his palms, to his surprise, the golden palm line on his left hand was gone, and he couldn't wait to tell the news to Long Beard, the palm line that had plagued him all the way was finally gone. He walked through the outhouse and went straight to the long beard, the four cold-faced warriors were still asleep, and the long beard had already been groomed, "Long beard, look at it, the palm line is gone." "The long beard saw that the palm line was gone, "It seems that their purpose is to find Kunlun's current location, and now that they have it, they will lift the blood curse!" Tang Wuyi nodded, he didn't know when this palm line disappeared.

After the rain, everything is like a wash, a seven-colored rainbow hangs in the air, those peaks are more visible, the woods are more lush, and the Zhaoti Temple is wrapped in green mountains and green trees, and it is full of greenery.

"Wuyi, I'll go to the nearby Zhuyu Town to inquire about the news later, you just stay in the temple. There are many other people in this temple who have the same purpose as us, so you must be very careful not to leave the four guards. ”

"Got it, I'll be careful. ”

Tang Wuyi agreed, but he thought in his heart that he could finally get rid of his long beard and play freely. Although this temple is not as magnificent as the capital, it is located in the middle of this group of mountains, but it is also interesting, I don't know if there is something interesting in this temple. He took advantage of the fact that the four guards were still asleep, deliberately did not wake them up and secretly ran out to play, and suddenly remembered that his yellow dog was still in the carriage, and he forgot about it in a hurry last night, and immediately became anxious, what should I do if this dog is about to be lost! He relied on his sense of the direction of the building to find the stable, the stable actually had so many horses, sure enough, as the beard said, there were many people here, he saw the bay leaf pattern at a glance in the many carriages, that is their family's unique family crest, is his family's carriage Yes, the other carriages are some common common decorative patterns.

He walked to his carriage, prayed in his heart that the yellow dog was inside, lifted the curtain, Ah Huang tilted his head, a pair of flexible eyes were staring at him, and when he recognized that it was his master, he immediately jumped on Tang Wuyi, licked it all the way, and the two fought on the hay, at this time, no one Tang Wuyi dared to be so presumptuous, if someone saw his Tang family's face, how could it exist! In order not to be discovered, Tang Wuyi quickly picked up Ah Huang and hid in the carriage, through the window hole in the carriage, he saw that the three carriages had the same pattern, but that kind of pattern, he had never seen it, in the whole country, there were not many families that could have patterns, he could identify them, but this pattern was something he had never seen, I don't know what kind of person the owner of the carriage was, this temple was really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

After the few people left, Tang Wuyi planned to take Ah Huang to find something to eat first, and he had not yet eaten the meal prepared by the abbot last night, so he fell asleep, and now his stomach was a little growling, Ah Huang should be as hungry as him. Where is the kitchen, Tang Wuyi can't find it, he has been to the kitchen at home, fortunately, Ah Huang has a sensitive nose, and he actually smelled the fragrance, and followed the fragrance to find the kitchen.

Before I walked in, I saw the smoke and fire wafting from the kitchen and the smell of meat. This temple is usually vegetarian, and even made meat food, which shows how domineering and tough the guests who come here, otherwise they would not force the temple to change its rules. After thinking about it again, I could eat meat in this way, and I smiled unconsciously. Ah Huang, who smelled the fragrance, was already restless at the moment, barking non-stop, Tang Wuyi squatted down and patted Ah Huang's head, "Calm down, something that doesn't make a difference." Ah Huang snorted twice and closed the dog's mouth. Hearing a dog barking, the pear vortex, who had been concentrating on watching the adults cooking, ran out, and the two and a dog looked at each other, and the air seemed to freeze for a few seconds.

Tang Wuyi didn't expect that there was a little girl a few years younger than him in this temple, and when Li Vortex first came to the temple, he was still a little shy when he saw people. Tang Wuyi said that the girl was younger than him, so he took the initiative to go forward to greet her.

"My name is Tang Wuyi, what's your name?"

"My name is Pear Vortex. ”

It was the first time for Pear Vortex to see such a handsome little brother, he was even better looking than the most handsome Shen He in the town, and his clothes were also good-looking, with gorgeous patterns embroidered on the brocade, and jade around his waist, she had never seen such a particular person wearing it, even the boots on his feet were patterned, and when he heard the little brother take the initiative to say hello, Pear Vortex reported his name and smiled shyly.

"Is it the pear vortex with a shallow smile?" Tang Wuyi had seen it in the miscellaneous books at home, and felt that describing the girl was very beautiful, and the little girl's smile was even more beautiful than he imagined the word.

Ritoshi nodded, still shy.

"What are you doing here?"

"I came to the temple with my mother. Ritsumi said, gesturing at the cook.

"God help me" Tang Wuyi thought to himself, but he was a dignified and noble son, with fine clothes and fine food, and he was reduced to begging for food from a little girl in the kitchen, forget it, when you go out, taking care of yourself is the most important thing, no matter how much.

"I'm a guest in this temple, I'm so hungry now, can you go in and get me something to eat first?"

"Good. What do you want to eat?"

"If you have meat, you can take some meat, and if you don't have meat, you can take some snacks. ”

When the pear vortex heard this, he turned around to get it. Tang Wuyi shouted softly behind him: "Remember to take the cooked and edible ones, don't be discovered." Rivoraki grimaced at him backwards.

Tang Wuyi sat in the corridor and waited for the food in the pear vortex.

The guests who came to the temple woke up one after another, and from time to time there was a loud noise, which startled the crows perched on the plane tree, and the black pressure hovered over the temple, quite a solemn feeling of an ancient temple. Five years ago, the temple was a small temple, and since the death of the senior monk who built the temple, the temple has been locked and has not been cared for for a long time. If it hadn't happened five years ago, the Tang family would not have allocated funds to rebuild the temple, and the area of the temple has not only expanded several times on the original basis, but the quality of the building is also better than before. The monks in the temple were still doing morning exercises, and some guests also joined them in the practice procession.

Tang Wuyi climbed onto the roof of the temple and looked into the distance, a continuous green mountain, full of shadows, I don't know how many, will there be a place where he wants to go? His young body trembled slightly, he really wanted to see it, Xianshan Kunlun, right in front of him, but he couldn't see it. He was moved by Kunlun's fame, the immortal mountain that appeared repeatedly in the book really existed, and it was about to be opened for him, and anyone would tremble. Kunlun is both strange and familiar to him, the words in the book are not enough for him to sketch the true appearance of Kunlun, he is about to enter a strange world, without the protection of his grandfather and father, the elders, he is not very adaptable, but since he came, he has to rely on himself for everything, his eyes looking at the distant mountains changed from confused to firm, he told himself in his heart, from now on he can no longer cry nose, he, Tang Wuyi must be a person who stands up to the sky, learn fairy arts, kill demons, protect the peace of the world, and ensure the prosperity of the Tang family. The more he thought about it, he had a sense of pride, when he had great things in his heart, the whole person was also great, this feeling made him a little fluttery, his stomach screamed twice at this moment, he touched his stomach, stopped his thoughts, don't think about it, eat your stomach first. Why hasn't the pear vortex come out for so long?

"Brother Wuyi, the chicken leg is here. The pear vortex had already come out, and she saw the back of the daze on the roof, and she didn't respond to a few calls, so she simply didn't bother him and waited for him to come back to her senses.

"It's coming. Wuyi came down from the roof, saw the chicken legs, his eyes lit up, and Ah Huang also circled excitedly on the side. When he got the chicken legs, Tang Wuyi found a hidden place and ate them in a big gulp, this chicken leg is too fragrant. In the process of eating, I heard a group of people talking loudly about Kunlun.

"We've been here for so long, and we haven't even seen a shadow of Kunlun, maybe we were deceived by the Psychic Pavilion!"

"I heard today that Xuanyuan Jimo has come to the temple, so it should be true. ”

"Have you forgotten five years ago? Kunlun's appearance this time is because of a vision from heaven five years ago, this world is afraid that it will experience a catastrophe, Kunlun in order to protect the stability of the world, the opening of the mountain to accept disciples should also be the same. ”

"What happened five years ago still makes people feel palpitations. Kunlun Immortal Mountain has been legendary in the world for nearly a thousand years, if it weren't for this vision, let alone mortals, even those disciples who cultivated immortals in the Immortal Cave Immortal Mountain would be difficult to see. ”

"You've come sooner than I thought, but with all due respect, it's not safe here, and it's not too late to leave if you want to survive!"

There was a slight sensation in the crowd, everyone was shocked, and they all guessed who it was, listening to the voice, they all guessed that it was not far from ten, yes, it was the voice they were all familiar with, and they could find the exact point of Kunlun's current life, which was the news they got from his mouth. They saw a young man of about twenty-six or seventeen years old approaching him, and the person who spoke was Xuanyuan Jimo, the master of the Tongling Pavilion who sold them this news, he was wearing a black mask, and his face was still difficult to distinguish.

Why do we have to put our lives in danger? ”

"A bunch of idiots. It's not just you ordinary people who are interested in Kunlun's current life, except for the disciples of the Immortal Cave Immortal Mountain who went to Kunlun to study are officially invited, who else will be interested in Kunlun's affairs?"

"This... ”

"You haven't forgotten what happened five years ago! Although it is rumored to be related to the strange hexagram of the youngest daughter of the Tang family, which has affected the status of the Tang family, but you are all obsessed with immortal arts, you will not know that the vision is by no means as simple as a hexagram indicates, you and I both know that the world is afraid that evil will run rampant, otherwise Kunlun, who has been at ease in the Jade Void Realm for thousands of years, will not appear. ”

"Even if there are demons doing evil, Kunlun is here, forgive them and don't dare to mess around here. ”

"I'm afraid you're overestimating Kunlun. It can only protect you for a while, so you better listen to me and leave quickly!"

"If you are lucky enough to see Kunlun, it will be worth it to die in this life. ”

"Yes, yes. Since we have spent money here, we will definitely not leave without seeing Kunlun. ”

"In that case, please take care of it!"

Tang Wuyi heard that the person named Xuanyuan Jimo seemed to be very clear about his family affairs, so he had to go and ask clearly, no one had ever mentioned to him the incident five years ago, what did it have to do with his aunt, and why was the Tang family involved? When he was about to ask Xuanyuan Jimo, he was stopped by four guards and taught him a hard lesson, saying that he came out privately without saying a word, in case something went wrong, how did they deal with each other, how many times did they say it, and the little boy still turned a deaf ear. Tang Wuyi sighed, these four cold-faced warriors selected by his father to escort him on the road, it was really not the right time to appear, when he was hungry, they slept soundly, and they were just about to do their business when they were full, they ran to stop them, that's it, that Xuanyuan Jimo would not run away, and it was not too late to ask again, Tang Wuyi could only say goodbye to the pear vortex, go back with them first, and then look for the opportunity.
