Chapter 2: Three Thousand Miles Barrier
When the bearded man returned to the temple from Dogwood Town, it was already ten o'clock in the afternoon, just in time for dinner.
The twenty-six waves of people in the monastery even have different rules for eating, one is to ask the kitchen to bring the food to the residence, one is to sit on the long table in the dining room like the monks, and the other is to go to the kitchen to get it themselves. For this reason, the abbot has instructed that whatever kind of meal he chooses, he will be free to do so, and he must satisfy the guests.
But when he came back from Zhuyu Town, the bearded man specially instructed the abbot to let everyone in the temple come to the dining room, and he had new discoveries to inform everyone. As expected, these people came, except for Xuanyuan Jimo, Tang Wuyi didn't see him.
"This fellow Daoist, but what news about Kunlun do you want to tell you?"
"I went to the town of Dogwood today to inquire about the news, and I did get something. ”
"Since we've all been recruited, please say it directly. ”
"We should all have a similar purpose when we come here, which is to find Kunlun Mountain. Now that Kunlun Mountain is missing, everyone is very anxious, and they can't stay here, so it is best to find Kunlun quickly and complete their respective tasks and wishes. ”
"Kunlun's current place is here, let's just wait, this is beyond the power of man. ”
That's not true. It is important to know that everything is subject to the destiny of heaven, and it also requires manpower. ”
In the crowd, it was clear that some people were already impatient.
"Let's talk about it, it's also idle in the temple. ”
"There is a blind man Chen in Zhuyu Town, who has been blind for twenty years. According to him, he had encountered a strange thing at Little Golden Peak twenty years ago. He woke up earlier than usual that morning, thinking that he would simply go to Xiaojinfeng in advance to collect firewood and pick wild vegetables, but he strayed into the fairy mirror, saying that he saw fairy trees and fairy flowers in it, strange vines, waterfalls flowing, and colorful falling flowers. ”
"In this way, there is no doubt that the fairy mirror is Kunlun. ”
"Exactly. I asked the old man if he remembered what he had done to get into the fairyland, and he was reluctant to tell him, but I was finally convinced. ”
"Tell me how!"
Because he went early that day, the fog in the mountains was heavy, he looked left and right to find a way out, in a hurry to cut with an axe, and a mountain road appeared, he walked along the mountain road, along the way the footsteps of the wind, the trees on both sides quickly retreated, so he walked for two hours before seeing the fairyland. ”
"Oh, I guess the axe slashed to trigger some kind of mechanism!"
"Hahaha......" A burst of laughter came, and Xuanyuan Jimo appeared.
"Although you are attracted to Kunlun, you don't know anything. It was a three-thousand-mile barrier set up by Kunlun to protect Kunlun from being disturbed by the outside world. According to this fellow Daoist, the barrier of this Kunlun is in Xiaojinfeng. ”
"Could this be this?" the bearded man saw that the person in front of him did not show his true face, he was young and knew so much, and he had already guessed nine times out of ten in his heart.
"That's right, it's the contemptible Xuanyuan Jimo. ”
The rest of the people were shocked again when they heard him say the name himself, Xuanyuan Jimo really came.
"It's also an accident that the blind man broke the barrier, and the people who guarded the barrier didn't kill him, but only blinded his eyes. If you want to find a fairyland, I'm afraid you will have to work hard to go to Xiaojin Peak for a run. Xuanyuan Jimo said disdainfully.
"I'm afraid it won't work today. According to the old man, we should go tomorrow morning while the fog is dark. What do you think?"
"That's true. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Then you will go and prepare this afternoon, and we will gather in the temple tomorrow. ”
"Also, Hatsune is going to get the abbot!" one of the four cold-faced samurai replied and went to ask for someone.
"Abbot, let's go to Xiaojinfeng tomorrow. Can you ask someone familiar to lead the way, and you will be rewarded? ”
"Well said. Those cooks are all from Dogwood Town, and I'll send a disciple to the ward to give them a shout. I wonder when I'll leave tomorrow?"
"We just decided that it was the first moment of Yinzheng. ”
"Rest assured, this will be done. ”
"Then there's work. ”
When the business was finished, everyone ate and drank, and when they were full of food and drink, they prepared to go.
After lunch, the cooks cleaned up the leftovers, and it was time to rest, and some of them had already left to rest under the stone slabs in the shade of the trees. Li Vortex and Chen Po were about to finish it, when a disciple named Huiqing in the temple came to the kitchen entrusted by the master, and when he saw someone, he asked, "Who wants to take the guests in the temple to Xiaojinfeng tomorrow?" There are 50 taels of silver. ”
As soon as Chen Po heard it, she knew that it was to find a fairyland, she had done this five years ago, and she also got a jade pendant, and now she still has it at home, this time it is silver, and she can spend it directly.
"I do. I am very familiar with that little golden peak and am willing to serve. However, it was a little early, and I had a hard time rushing from home, in case I missed the time and delayed the important affairs of the guests, I could not afford to wait. ”
"It just so happens that there is still a vacant room in the temple, if you want, you can stay in the temple for a night, the abbot has already thought of it. ”
"That's the best, then I'll take the job. But there is one more thing, my daughter will ask the temple to help take care of it tomorrow. ”
"Nature, nature. ”
Everything was arranged, the monastery began its lunch break, and the cooks on one side slept in the sun, or under the trees, and chatted and ate melon seeds, while the guests on the other side were either packing up the utensils for going up the mountain, equipping dry food, or exercising, and no one slept. Only Xuanyuan Jimo was an exception, still drinking his tea, unmoved. He obviously looks like a young man, but he has an extremely old-fashioned style, likes to drink tea, meditate, and is not moved by tomorrow's plan at all, not surprisingly, he will not participate in the plan to go to Xiaojinfeng this time, and sure enough, he only sent his own two female subordinates to participate in the end, just to explain what they came back to report what they saw. The bearded man had long expected that Xuanyuan Jimo would not buy it, he felt that Xuanyuan Jimo should come here, but he couldn't guess why he came here? Maybe it had something to do with his penchant for finding out news, where big things happened, Xuanyuan Jimo was indispensable.
When the evening came, the cooks went home one after another, and the neighbors who came with Chen Po went to the house to bring a message to Lao Li Tou, saying that he would take the guests from the temple to Xiaojinfeng tomorrow morning, and spend the night in the temple tonight, don't worry. At this time, Li Vortex also shouted that she wanted to go to Xiaojinfeng, because when she was playing with Tang Wuyi in the afternoon, she learned that Tang Wuyi was going, and she wanted to go too. All said that she stayed in the temple to play by herself, why did she regret it now, and asked her what the reason was, this little girl said that she was too lonely to play in the temple, of course Chen Po would not agree, she was a five-year-old girl who could withstand the bumps of the mountain road, so she scared her and said that there was a crazy woman on the little golden peak, specializing in eating children, and the pear vortex also knew that she couldn't go, she just tried to see if her mother would agree, since her mother did not agree, she had her own reason, she stayed in the temple.
At this time, Tang Wuyi came to find the pear vortex, heard the story of the crazy woman, and was very interested, so he pulled Chen Po to tell it. Chen Po didn't recognize Tang Wuyi, Li Vortex told her that this was her new friend, Tang Wuyi was from the capital, Chen Po was very happy to hear it, and praised the capital as a good place. Also, the little prince in this capital is really handsome, five years ago, the prince came to Zhuyu Town, but it caused a sensation, and the women in the town liked him very much, I still remember him, bah, you are still young and shouldn't have told you this.
"Mother-in-law, what's the matter with that crazy woman?" Tang Wuyi's face turned red, and he pretended to be calm and asked the crazy woman's question. It was the first time she saw Tang Wuyi who was shy, and she thought that the blushing Tang Wuyi was very cute.
"That's what I made up to scare the pear vortex, there is no crazy woman, but there is a beautiful fairy who lives in Xiaojinfeng all the year round. ”
Tang Wuyi thought that Chen Po was making fun of him again, and his face became more and more red.
"Five years ago, I went up the mountain with Wang Gongzi from the capital, and I met her by chance, she has been planting peonies on the mountain, she is a fairy, and she never shows her face in front of the world easily. I never saw her again. ”
Tang Wuyi relaxed, it turned out to be true, if there is really such a fairy, it would be good for him to meet him, that prince didn't know who it was, and he could let the fairy show up.
"Mother-in-law, you said that Wang Gongzi is from the capital, do you know what his name is?"
"This, what is it called, I really forgot, oh oh, I remember that his father seems to be the famous king of Chang'an, the capital. Have you heard of it, little boy?"
"I am naturally familiar with the Wang family, but there are several sons in their family, and I don't know which one has seen this peony fairy. Tang Wuyi thought about it again, forget it, it doesn't matter who he is, it would be good if he could see that fairy tomorrow.
"Don't say anything else, I'm here to find Pear Vortex this time. ”
The pear vortex looked at Tang Wuyi with the big eyes of the water spirit, not knowing what he was talking about.
"You're too young to go up the mountain. So can you help me take care of Ah Huang tomorrow?" Ah Huang was squatting on the ground at this time, sticking out his tongue.
Chen Po clapped her hands and thought it was so good, she would not be bored if she had a dog to play with the pear vortex. Pear Vortex is also very happy, there is a dog to accompany her, or Tang Wuyi's dog.
It was another foggy morning, Chen Po woke up and covered the pear vortex with a quilt, how happy this child should have been, even sleeping with a smile on his face. She and Lao Li Tou can get this girl is really a gift from God, she remembered five years ago, Lao Li Tou from the outside when he brought back the pear vortex, like picking up a big baby, a long time reluctant to let go of his hands, they hugged each other and cried with joy, it must be God heard their prayers for their son who died young, so he sent them a daughter. Since the death of their child, Chen Po has been unable to have children, which has become a scar in the hearts of their husband and wife, no one dares to mention the matter of the child, although their husband's business has been getting better and better in recent years, but there are still regrets in life, I thought they would not have children in this life, but God favors, the vision five years ago, they brought pear vortex and happiness, others are afraid to mention the vision of that year again, but they are only grateful. It's time to go, Chen Po wiped away her tears and returned to her usual "" appearance.
There are already a lot of people gathered in the temple, and there are still a few who have not arrived, and there is still some time according to the agreed time. Tang Wuyi still didn't see Xuanyuan Jimo this time, but he recognized the two women, they were two of them who went to the stable to park that day. The last Tang Wuyi also remembered that he was talking to his companion about the news of Kunlun's current life in the Yuelai Inn in Ziyun City, but his companion was passed by, and he didn't know that it was the immortal faction who killed him with a knife and survived. "Let's go. The long beard motioned to Mrs. Chen, who immediately walked to the front to guide everyone. Tang Wuyi looked at the mountains outside the door, he was thinking about which one was Xiaojinfeng, they all looked the same, even the trees on the mountain looked the same, under the cover of layers of greenery, it was a fertile land, he could feel the fresh air circulating, and he also seemed to be able to feel the undercurrent under the earth surging, this is indeed a place where Zhong Lingyuxiu grew up, so the pear vortex is different from the ladies he has seen, she has a unique temperament, clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving? The pear vortex was still too small, and he was too small for Tang Wuyi to accurately describe that feeling.
The silence of the temple has returned to its former days, with a few birds flying by, a few birdsong from the trees from time to time, the morning fog will stop, and the sun shines through the leaves into the temple, and you can see that the weather will be exceptionally good today. The only woman left by Xuanyuan Jimo's side, after the bearded and they left, also rode out of the temple, and now in the temple in addition to the monks, there are only Xuanyuan Jimo and Pear Vortex.
When the sun shone into the house, Li Vortex woke up to the bedside of Ah Huang, who was sleeping. Today, there are a lot fewer strange guests in the temple, and the pear vortex has become cheerful and comfortable, and she heard that the mountain behind the temple is a good place to go, so she wants to take Ah Huang to see it. Before going, she had to go to the kitchen to find something to eat, and she couldn't go hungry Ah Huang. She leaned on the window and looked into the kitchen, a few rays of light entered the room, pulling out long waves, small particles floating in the light and shadow, and the kitchen was empty at the moment. She took the dog and tiptoed in, found a few bones with meat and threw them to Ah Huang, who lay on the ground and feasted on them. Li Vortex found a few pieces of dim sum to pad his stomach, took some fruits, led Ah Huang, and went to the back mountain.
The scenery of the back mountain is very beautiful, the Yulian River flows through it, this river is a very famous river in Zhuyu Town, because the river water is like jasper, so it is called the Yulian River, this river stretches endlessly, no one knows where its end is. The Yulian River forms a pool of water here, which is warm all year round, making it an excellent place for bathing. However, due to the rules of the monastery, the monks are forbidden to bathe in the open air here in the name of immorality, and occasionally the monks break the rules and are punished after being discovered, but it is a pity that this good spring water is a pity.
The pear vortex walked out of the back gate of Zhaotiji Temple, and after walking along the road for a short time, I heard the sound of a waterfall falling, and there was one hanging on the cliff in front of me
Curtain water curtain, flying beads splashing jade. She went down the stone steps and saw a pool of water down the waterfall, and there was something on the stone by the spring, which shone in the sun's rays. The pear vortex stepped forward to see what was glowing.
After approaching, the light disappeared, it turned out to be a black mask, Pear Vortex picked up the mask, the delicate pattern painted on the mask attracted the attention of Pear Vortex, this pattern is so familiar, where has she seen it, she unconsciously rubbed the pattern with her hand, by the way, she had seen this plant in her father's garden, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, blurted out "Liu Teng, it's Liu Teng." ”
"Let it go, or I'll kill you." ”
Pear Vortex's body shook and she fell into the water in fright, but she didn't even notice that there was another person in the pool, and it was still a naked young man. Xuanyuan Jimo never thought that he saw this spring water today and wanted to go down to take a bath on a whim, but he met a wild girl who came out of nowhere, this girl touched the mask he often carried, and also saw him naked. Seeing the little girl fall into the water, he recited a spell, the clothes flew up from the stone, automatically put on his body, and flew to the grass on the shore with the pear vortex at the moment of jumping up from the water, the pear vortex was dropped by Xuanyuan Jimo, and fell heavily to the ground, the pear blossoms on his face brought rain, he was shocked and afraid, he wanted to cry but did not dare to make a sound, Xuanyuan Jimo moved to the side of the pear vortex, and rudely picked up her little face with her fingers, the little face was tender and could pinch out the water, Xuanyuan Jimo thought that it was a pity for this little beauty embryo.
"You shouldn't have bumped into me today. I didn't like to kill, but you must die today. Seeing the smiling warm face in front of her, Pear Vortex gradually became indifferent, and a coolness replaced the fright just now in Pear Vortex's heart, and the five-year-old premonition that she was about to face the end, her heart was terrified, whether it was death or life, she liked to hope that this moment would pass quickly. Xuanyuan Jimo looked at the little girl in front of him, she was so well-behaved that she didn't have the slightest cry for help or struggle, if it was a naughty child, he would be willing to teach him a good lesson, and then end his life. He no longer spoke coldly, but pointed the hand that had just been placed on the pear vortex's chin and slid it down to the smooth neck, grabbed it, and twisted it hard.
The moment was finally coming to an end, and Rivoraki closed her eyes. At this moment, Ritsuki heard the voice of a woman speaking, her eyes were covered with tears, and she vaguely saw a woman kneeling on the ground. The woman kneeling on the ground was the retinue sent out by Xuanyuan Jimo in the morning, Xiyue, she had completed her task, came back to give an errand, and said: The person the master asked her to invite will arrive later. Xuanyuan Jimo didn't expect that Hua Yusha would come so soon, so she let go of the neck of the pear vortex and said to Xiyue: "It's so unfortunate to come! Xuanyuan Jimo straightened his clothes, and changed into the gentle and smiling look he had before, he suddenly found that he didn't have a mask, his face was not even seen by the people he usually walked around, he glanced at the moon with his spare eyes, this maid must have seen his face. He still didn't turn around, and said: "Remember to start cleanly, don't be noticed by anyone, if I find her alive or walking, you should know what the fate is." After saying that, Xuanyuan Jimo disappeared, and the black mask disappeared along with it.
