Chapter 1: Mystery

In the middle of July, Jiangzhou entered the rainy period of autumn, the rain has been a little cool, the Xuanmiao Mountain outside the city of Jiangzhou is shrouded in the rain, it looks more and more green, and the two Taoist temples under the mountain are looming.

As in other places, there are mountains and immortals, and there are mystical temples in Xuanmiao Mountain, but there are big and small temples when it comes to mystical views.

The big Xuan Miao Temple is located at the foot of the mountain, it was built in the Jin Dynasty, there are two doors and three halls, and a stage, the small Xuan Miao Temple is located on the mountainside, built by the mountain, only one hall of the mountain gate, narrow but the scenery is very good.

The same is that the two Taoist temples are Kun Dao, a master fairy Gu of the Great Xuan Miao Temple with five female apprentices, and the Xiao Xuan Miao Temple originally had only one Guan Zhu Fairy Gu, but a few years ago adopted two orphan girls as children.

Although Xuanmiao Mountain is beautiful, but it is not a famous mountain scenery, it stands to reason that in this kind of place, a Taoist temple is enough, but there are two Taoist temples, the incense can be imagined, especially the reputation of a Taoist temple is not good.

A short, stocky, stubby woman rushed into the mountain gate, and when she saw a fairy girl walking under the porch, her eyes were as red as if she had seen an enemy.

"Shameless little bald donkey, I'll hit," the woman shouted and rushed over.

The fairy girl's face was calm, obviously commonplace.

"Good man, we are here for the Great Mystery Temple." She said. "Are you looking for a small mystic view?"

The fist that was about to hit the fairy girl's head stopped, and the woman glared pantingly for a moment.

"None of you have a good thing anyway!" She finally said, turning and running out of the house.

The fairy girl looked at the woman's back and smiled helplessly, and a fairy girl in her forties walked out of the hall, and she was busy stepping forward to give a salute.

"Lookout." She said.

The Spectator nodded.

"Lord, let that little mystical view mess around, and our reputation will be ruined." Fairy Gu smiled bitterly.

The Spectator sighed.

"What can you do? That is the Cheng family's concept of support, not relying on incense to live, besides, with the support of the Cheng family, what can I do. She said, standing under the porch and looking in the direction of the mountain, "It's just a pity that it's a good place." ”

A rolling thunder slid through the air, frightening Dao Gu to hide his ears.

"I've been thundering a lot lately." She said.

"What year is not so." The viewer said with a smile, and she turned around and went in.

The Dao Gu looked at the half of the Taoist temple exposed in the middle of the mountain again.

"It's like this every year, why doesn't the thunder split it?" She muttered.

"This place was placed by my grandfather back then, praying for his wife's blessing, and inviting the fairy aunt of Qingcheng Mountain to sit in the town, and everything went well." The girl said, "It's more effective than the big mystical view under the mountain, so I forgot my real name and only called it the little mystical view." ”

The wind with the rain was a little cold, she reached out and closed the window, and the crow-green curtain of the wind-blown clouds quieted down, and the figure behind it was clearly revealed.

The girl lifted the curtain and walked over, looking at Cheng Jianniang, who was reading quietly, as always, while reading, one hand slowly stroked on the table.

It can't be said that one day has passed, compared with the past, the lady's hand movements are much smoother.

After writing a line of words, Cheng Jianniang stopped.

"It's not the fairy Gu of Qingcheng Mountain who is sitting now, right?" She asked.

"Of course not, a hundred years ago, isn't that really an immortal?" The girl smiled, knelt down, and held a glass of water, "Later, the fairy aunt died, and there was no one to invite for a while, and the Cheng family exhausted the family wealth because of digging the river to divert water, and this Taoist temple was abandoned, or the old lady was rebuilt when he was there, and now the master is our Cheng family, a woman over there in Nancheng, who volunteered to practice, so she came here." ”

Cheng Jianniang was silent for a moment, when she entered the door that day, she was naturally greeted by the viewer, but the viewer was busy talking to the lady in charge, and did not come to herself, she swept her eyes in a trance, she was thirty-four or five years old, and her appearance was not very good, but her eyes were delicate and tactful.

The thought in my heart turned around.

"Hmm." Cheng Jianniang just said.

The girl received an answer before she dared to continue talking.

"Lady, do you want to have a snack? There were fresh tangerines to buy at the bottom of the mountain, and I bought a small handful. She said.

Cheng Jianniang held the book in her hand and was silent for a moment.

The girl knew she was thinking, so she was silent.

"Wrapped in rice and eaten." Cheng Jianniang said.

The food that the lady said about her mouth was always something she had never heard of, but the girl had no doubts.

"Okay." The girl smiled and said, "The lady told the slave what to do?" ”

The small Xuanmiao Temple is built according to the mountain, the area is limited, in addition to the mountain gate and the main hall, there are wings on the left and right, two round cave doors go in, there is the master and two children who live there, this side lives Cheng Jiaoniang and the girl, each has a stove fire, irrelevant to each other.

When the girl walked over here, the two little boys were drenched in the rain to clean up the weeds and dead leaves at the mouth of the water faucet, and the robes they were wearing were already soaked, and they looked very thin and thin.

"Why don't you hold an umbrella?" She couldn't help but ask.

The sound alarmed the children, and they got up in panic, and looked at the girl who came with an umbrella and was too timid to speak.

"It's not raining much, and the two of them have been lazy for so long." A female voice came from inside the house, and someone immediately walked out.

The viewer smiled and looked at the two children.

"Don't go to the fire and cook yet!" She shouted.

The two children ran in a panic.

The viewer looked at the girl again and laughed.

"What do you command?" She asked.

"Come and borrow a few pieces of caramel from the fairy girl." The girl said, somehow feeling a little uncomfortable at the smile of the viewer, to make a long story short.

"What are you borrowing from, they are all from the Cheng family." The viewer smiled, turned around and went in and took out a few pieces of candy.

The girl thanked her and turned away, holding an umbrella to look at the road, and ran into a person at the gate of the courtyard, and looked up to see that it was a man with a big coat and a hat.

The girl was startled.

This is a female cultivator, how can a man come in!

"The firewood seller, you are here, why didn't you send firewood yesterday?" The Lord said later.

Selling firewood? The girl lowered her head, feeling an unbridled gaze at herself, and she hurried away.

"It's here to tell the fairy aunt that the weather is not good, yesterday's firewood is gone, and it will definitely be sent tomorrow."

A man's rough voice came from behind him, and when he came to his side and closed the courtyard door, the sound was inaudible.

Seeing that the courtyard door was closed, the man withdrew his gaze and looked at the smiling eyes of the Lord.

"Can't even pull it out?" The viewer said, leaning on the door, his face was a little lazy and enchanting, where was there still a little bit of practice.

The man smiled and stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around the viewer.

"It's just tender, it doesn't grow well." He said.

The viewer pouted.

"Is this the lady who sent it?" The man asked, "I heard that I came to see it, but I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to come in the future, right?" ”

"That lady is a fool, it's just a girl." The viewer smiled, turned around and entered the house, "What's inconvenient, if you don't want to come, just say you don't want to come." ”

The man smiled, followed in, and closed the door casually.

"This girl is too ugly, it's not as good as the two children you raised here..."

"What do you want, then you have to wait, it's too young......"

The laughter of men and women came through the window, and the two children in the kitchen shivered with their heads down and their knees, and the fire in the stove was already lit, but it seemed that it could not dispel the chill from them.
