(A large chapter of more than 4,000 words...... If you don't update at night, don't smoke me...... Saturday...... Xiaolong is trying his best to code the word...... A desolate escape...... ）

Ignoring Hao Ren's reaction, Zhao Yanzi jumped and ran towards the Taoist temple. Hao Ren carried his schoolbag and stepped into the door of the Taoist temple.

The golden eaves of the Taoist temple absorb the afterglow of the afternoon sun, and the whole Taoist temple looks solemn and quiet.

Because this Taoist temple is located on the top of the mountain, and it is already afternoon at this moment, there are not many tourists. Because there is no cable car, to visit this Taoist temple, unless you are as good as Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi and have perseverance, you must go up the mountain early in the morning, so that you can hope to reach the Taoist temple at noon and use an afternoon to descend the mountain.

Therefore, when Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren arrived here in the afternoon, they hardly met ordinary tourists. In the courtyard of the Taoist temple, there were only a few small Taoist priests sweeping the fallen leaves, even Zhao Yanzi, who was shouting outside the door just now, suddenly became quiet after entering here.

The floor tiles of the courtyard are made of bricks of different colors to spell out a large Tai Chi Bagua diagram, and in the southwest corner of the courtyard, there is an old and majestic towering ancient pine.

Hao Ren knew that this must be the thousand-year-old tree that Zhao Guang said, and walked over slowly with admiration. Because there are not many tourists who can reach here, this ancient tree is not enclosed, but just grows quietly in the courtyard.

Hao Ren stepped forward and reached out to gently caress the old and resolute trunk of the ancient tree.

Its outer skin is as hard and smooth as ironstone, and from the outside, the feeling of wood can no longer be seen.

Hao Ren quietly ran "Concentrating Decision", feeling the qi of heaven and earth nearby, and was actually able to feel a thick wood aura from the skin of this hard ancient pine.

And the dragon pill in his body seemed to be beating a little, echoing this ancient tree. The moist and warm air flow followed Hao Ren's arm to the interior of this ancient tree, and the smell of the wood of the ancient tree in turn moistened Hao Ren's body.

Zhao Yanzi looked at Hao Ren quietly, she understood that Hao Ren must have some insight at this moment, and she didn't bother him.

After a full minute, Hao Ren withdrew his hand and exhaled a long breath. The exhaustion of going up the mountain is swept away, and all that remains is pure body and vigorous vitality.

With reverence in his heart, Hao Ren bent down slightly towards the ancient tree and bowed.

Seeing Zhao Yanzi looking at him stunned, Hao Ren smiled at her, "Let's go." ”

Zhao Yanzi was stunned for a few seconds, responded with an "oh", and couldn't help but follow Hao Ren. When she stepped into the main hall from the courtyard and reacted again, Hao Ren's smile just now appeared in her mind, and suddenly her heart moved.

Hao Ren himself didn't realize that he was smiling so gently at Zhao Yanzi just now, he entered the main hall, looked up at the sculpture of the Three Qing Sect Masters who were several meters high, and then continued to go deeper.

The whole hall is majestic and solemn. Hao Ren suddenly felt that it was worth spending so long to come up and take a look.

Zhao Yanzi followed Hao Ren step by step, and in the face of these solemn statues, she was slightly scared in her heart.

Passing through the main hall, they entered the second courtyard of the Taoist temple. On the east side of this courtyard, there is a stone house, and inside the stone house, there is an old stone monument.

I don't know why, after the understanding of that ancient tree, Hao Ren suddenly felt that Zhao Guang deliberately mentioned the ancient trees and stone tablets of the Taoist temple to attract them to the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain, which had his reason.

Hao Ren stood in front of the stele and carefully examined the words on the stele.

"The rope is nameless, and it is nothing. It is said to be formless, the image of nothing, and it is said to be trance. The first one is missing, and then the one is gone. Adhere to the ancient way, and have a ...... in the present"

Hao Ren struggled to understand one or two of them.

Zhao Yanzi stood beside Hao Ren and silently read the words on the stone tablet.

"If you want to die, you will fix it; He who wants to be weak will be strong; If you want to abolish it, you will rejuvenate it; If you want to take it, you will fix it. It's a twilight. Weakness is better than strength......"

The more Hao Ren looked at it, the more he felt that it was profound and incomprehensible. Zhao Yanzi frowned, and he struggled to read.

This is the way to resist water.

Hao Ren's heart suddenly had a trace of clarity.

It was as if there was a feeling rising in his heart, about to break through his chest and reach his head.

Thinking of the vigorous vitality of that ancient tree, Hao Ren had a feeling like he had done math problems before, as if he had found an idea and a trick, and was about to solve a difficult problem.

Water, nourishing all things. Water, breaking through obstacles.

While......

The bell came from nowhere, suddenly interrupting Hao Ren's understanding.

And Zhao Yanzi, who was immersed in thinking, was also taken aback.

Hao Ren turned around, looked at his phone, and found that he and Zhao Yanzi had been standing in front of the stone tablet for half an hour!

The fallen leaves that fell from the sky were already covered with the top and shoulders of the two of them, and the little Taoist priests who cleaned the yard had also gone back to rest.

In the empty courtyard, only Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi remained.

"It's not too early, let's go back." Hao Ren said.

"Oh......" Zhao Yanzi responded obediently, as if his mind was still immersed in the words of the stone tablet.

Hao Ren reached out and helped her pat off the fallen leaves on her hair and shoulders.

This unconscious move made Zhao Yanzi unable to avoid it, and in addition to being surprised, there was a slight sweetness.

This guy is actually pretty good to me. Zhao Yanzi thought secretly in his heart.

Hao Ren didn't think about it so much, then lowered his head and patted off the fallen leaves on his body, and took Zhao Yanzi out of the front door again.

Dusk in the mountains seemed to come very early, the sun was crumbling in the distance, and the last rays of light struggled to support the sky, as if ...... God, it's going to get dark soon.

"Let's get down the hill." Hao Ren didn't dare to delay, and urged towards Zhao Yanzi.

Zhao Yanzi pursed his lips tightly, blaming Hao Ren in his heart for not having any pity for the jade, but he didn't dare to really delay, so he obediently followed Hao Ren to the way down the mountain.

The way down seemed to be easier than when it went up, but because of the weakening of the sun, the steps under their feet were not so clear, and the two of them walked more slowly and cautiously.

The mountain road paved with bluestone slabs is like a string on a musical instrument, and the flowing water of the mountain stream plucks the rhythm of the mountain like a musical note, and the refreshing and soft mountain breeze passes through the branches of the trees with a soft rustling sound.

As they walked, they paid attention to the movements around them, as if they had a deeper understanding of the simplicity and nature advocated by this Taoist.

The Taoist temples and pavilions in the distance are hidden deep in the verdant green trees, quiet and deep. And these buildings, borrowed from nature, and the whole mountain forest as one, makes people suspect that there is indeed a peerless master hidden in this mountain.

Hao Ren admired the surrounding scenery, walked all the way, suddenly thought of Zhao Yanzi, and then looked back, and found that she had stayed far behind, completely unmoving.

"Hey......" Hao Ren put his hand to his mouth to form a horn and shouted at her.

Hearing Hao Ren call her, Zhao Yanzi did not walk forward, but sat down.

What the hell...... Hao Ren stepped up, and then walked back quickly, and came to her, "Why don't you leave?" ”

Zhao Yanzi pouted and tilted his face to the side.

Hao Ren thought that she couldn't walk anymore, so he simply sat next to her and rested. He didn't understand the little girl's mind at all: he only cared about himself going down the mountain, and almost didn't pay attention to Zhao Yanzi. And Zhao Yanzi didn't say anything, gritted his teeth and insisted on following him, but he was wronged in his heart.

"Can't walk?" Seeing that she didn't get up for a long time, and the sky was getting darker and darker, Hao Ren couldn't help but ask her.

"If I had Long Dan, I would have gone down by myself a long time ago, who cares about you!" She said in annoyance.

Hao Ren realized that he was in a hurry to go down the mountain, ignoring her little girl's body. Zhao Yanzi's parents asked him to take care of her, but he didn't think about Zhao Yanzi at all, in a hurry, he went up the mountain in a hurry, and he went down the mountain in a hurry.

"Otherwise......" Hao Ren thought for a moment, "I'll carry you?" ”

"Phew! Who wants you to carry me! Zhao Yanzi stood up angrily and walked towards the bottom of the mountain.

"Hey! Go slow! Hao Ren was afraid that she would fall, so he hurriedly chased after her.

He understood this little girl's mind a little. It turned out that she said on the surface that she didn't need him to take care of her, but Hao Ren really didn't care about her, and she became really unhappy again.

One of them stepped up, one protected the other, like the black and white in Tai Chi, entangled, winding down the tranquil mountain road.

However, no matter how fast they walked, it was inevitable that the sky would darken early.

"You! Come on! Seeing that there were still two hours away from going down the mountain, the last trace of sunset was gradually converging, and Zhao Yanzi was really anxious.

"Is it going here or here?" Hao Ren took the map and asked in the dim light. The closer you get to the mountainside, the more small attractions there are, and the more forks in the road there are.

"Here, of course!" Zhao Yanzi pointed to the left.

"Oh, that's definitely where it goes!" Hao Ren walked to the right. After experiencing Zhao Yanzi pointing the wrong way three times in a row, Hao Ren no longer believes in her sense of direction, and whenever her intuition is in the direction, Hao Ren will go the other way.

Zhao Yanzi was angry, but she couldn't believe her sense of direction, so she could only follow Hao Ren. It's strange to say, every time Hao Ren chooses the opposite direction pointed by Zhao Yanzi, it is really the way down the mountain.

The whole mountain, as if there was no other people, became more and more silent. The footsteps of Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi in the dim light became clearer and clearer.

As the sun goes down, the originally beautiful scenery becomes eerie. Zhao Yanzi is a little girl after all, in the face of this kind of deep mountains and old forests, it is inevitable that she is a little scared, and the pace of going down the mountain is not as fast as just now, of course, she doesn't dare to rush ahead, and gradually walks side by side with Hao Ren.

Hao Ren guessed her mind this time, and took the initiative to hold her delicate little hand. He didn't want to take advantage of her, but he was worried that her feet would tremble and she would accidentally roll down the mountain.

The darker it gets, the slower they go. Before they knew it, it was already past 7 o'clock, but at the rate of the night, they were at least two hours away from the bottom of the mountain.

In this mountain, except for the signal towers near the Taoist temples just now, there is almost no mobile phone signal in other sections. It is really called that the earth and the earth are not spiritual, Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi can only continue to go down.

The mountain road is winding, up and down, and sometimes they can't figure out whether they are going up or down, but the general feeling is that they are getting closer and closer to the bottom of the mountain.

"Hey, we're not going to starve here, are we?" Pinching Hao Ren's palm, Zhao Yanzi couldn't help but say.

"If there's really nothing to eat, I'll eat you first." Hao Ren said to her.

"You ......" Zhao Yanzi wrinkled his nose and looked at Hao Ren angrily, but involuntarily, the sense of fear was eliminated a little.

Time ticked by, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and the foot of the mountain was still far away from them.

In the middle of the mountains, the birds cooed and chirped. Zhao Yanzi had no one to rely on, so he could only stand next to Hao Ren and hold his hand tighter.

And Hao Ren is not familiar with the mountains, let alone a flashlight, so he can only turn on his mobile phone and use the faint light of his mobile phone to illuminate the road at his feet, hoping that he will not step on the air and the two of them will roll down the mountain together.

Some strange insects emitted a golden glow, not fireflies, but limp lying on the mountain wall.

Zhao Yanzi was very afraid of insects, snuggled up to Hao Ren's side, and grabbed his hand tighter. She now regrets a hundred times in her heart, she shouldn't have followed Hao Ren to the top of the mountain, and she can't go down the mountain in the middle of the night.

"Hey, you're holding me so tightly, how can I walk?" Hao Ren turned his head to ask her.

In the dark environment, Zhao Yan's purple and white face flashed with two starry eyes, which was very beautiful and cute.

"I ...... How could I be afraid. I feel a little cold. Zhao Yanzi's tenacious quibbles, inadvertently, did not admit himself.

Hao Ren tightened her slippery palm into his palm, strengthened his belief in going down the mountain, and continued to walk forward.

After groping in the dark for more than an hour, they finally saw the lights on the flat ground below the mountain. The brightly lit hotel also appeared in front of their eyes.

"It's almost there!" Hao Ren pulled her and quickened his pace suddenly. His phone was running out of battery, and the light on Zhao Yanzi's phone was too weak, if it was any later, they would really be trapped in the mountains.

Zhao Yanzi also breathed a sigh of relief, and subconsciously quickened his pace.

Finally, after about ten minutes, they returned to the entrance of the scenic spot.

Zhao Yanzi's palms were already full of sweat, which showed how nervous she was on the way down the mountain.

Now that the crisis was resolved, she realized that she had been led by Hao Ren for several hours, and suddenly pulled her palm out of Hao Ren's palm.

"It's really kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs." Seeing her radical behavior, Hao Ren sighed with emotion.

"Who allowed you to hold my hand!" Zhao Yanzi asked eloquently.

Hao Ren didn't bother to argue with her, he was grumbling with hunger, and all the snacks in his schoolbag had already been eaten up by them on the way down the mountain.

He walked towards the hotel, and Zhao Yanzi followed behind him with a complicated expression. In fact, she herself knew that when she went down the mountain, she really relied on Hao Ren, and if Hao Ren hadn't led her down the mountain, she really didn't know what to do.

However, she didn't want to admit in her heart that she relied on Hao Ren to go down the mountain. She believed that her parents would be able to save her even if there was any danger.

When they returned to the bottom of the mountain, it seemed that the alliance was immediately dissolved. Zhao Yanzi made a purple face, as if Hao Ren owed her a million.

Seeing that Zhao Yanzi didn't want to talk to him, Hao Ren didn't stick this cold ass, he thought in his heart that he was going to share a room with her father tonight, wouldn't it be a little weird.

They returned to the hotel one after the other and entered their respective rooms. Hao Ren, who was exhausted, was surprised to find a note in the room: Ah Zi's mother and I went to visit a friend nearby, and we might come back later.

Ding dong...... Ding dong......

The doorbell in Hao Ren's room rang.

He ran over to open the door and saw Zhao Yanzi biting his lip with an embarrassed expression, "That...... Shall we go out to eat? (4) Reading in the library
