Chapter 50: Peach Blossom View
The carriage was bumpy all the way, and the monk's face did not improve. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Fortunately, the old man in the cloth had forced out the yin qi on the road, and first protected the unsuspecting pulse, so there was no danger of his life.
The road from Qingshui to Linqing is not very far, although the road is muddy, driving into the night, and finally entering the city before the city gate is closed after dark.
I found a medical hall first, and in the chatter of the gray-bearded old doctor, Liang Lan and a few people bought good medicine, returned to the inn and boiled it carefully, and then fed it to the non-abstaining monk.
The yin qi in the body was removed, and after drinking several bowls of the decoction of Guben Peiyuan, his face looked much better if he didn't quit.
Early the next morning, the first thing the monk said when he woke up: "Where is the toilet, I want to pee......"
I don't know what method the old man in the cloth used, seeing that his body was gradually recovering, he actually bewitched him to follow him.
Liang Lan and the others knew that the old man in Lingyi was a great master, and since they didn't agree, they didn't object.
After having breakfast at the inn, the old man in the cloth who went to Yuntai Mountain in Hexi, and Liang Lan and others who went to Xiaoping Mountain Peach Blossom View next, said goodbye.
"I'm going to miss him." Gao Dengyun looked at the back of the departing monk and said leisurely.
"Me too." Wang Zifu said, stuffing a large bun into his mouth.
Gao Dengyun looked at the prince's suit with a big appetite and said, "Why do I feel that you are very happy now?" ”
Liang Lan quipped: "That's because the old man who suppressed him is finally gone." ”
"Whoever said that, it's because I haven't eaten anything for two whole days since the night before yesterday."
Wang Zifu bit the bun, and found that he had eaten a rare sense of happiness from this coarse tea and light rice: "After these few days of ghost days, I really realized the words of the old ancestor. ”
Liang Lan: "Color is emptiness? ”
Gao Dengyun: "Plain is bliss? ”
"No," Wang Zifu was still chewing the buns, and said vaguely: "People are temple rice is fragrant, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic." ”
.......
Without the unprecepted monks and the old man in the cloth, the carriage was steep and lightweight, and the speed was much faster.
Although there is a saying of an ancient temple in the deep mountains, ordinary Taoist temples will be built not far from the city in order to flourish for incense, which is convenient for pilgrims to come and go. The Peach Blossom View is located in Xiaoping Mountain, a few miles outside the city, which is far away from the fireworks of the world, but because of its reputation, there are not a few visitors to the incense ceremony every day.
Liang Lan followed the guidance of the letter, and happened to meet a coachman driving a gorgeous carriage in the direction of Xiaoping Mountain. Liang Lan followed all the way, and after a short time, he arrived at the gate of the Taoist temple.
True to its name, the Peach Blossom View is nestled in a peach grove at the foot of the mountain. It's spring right now, with thousands of trees and pink peach blossoms all over the mountains, which is very beautiful.
Walk up the stairs at the foot of the mountain.
This Taoist temple doesn't look special, the bottom is the carved archway, and then the mountain gate, the first hall is dedicated to the spiritual official of the sect to guard the mountain gate, and then it is the Taoist temple where the statue of the Taoist ancestor is located.
Most of the pilgrims bow down here and pray sincerely.
Wang Zifu had just encountered a demon recently, and he was uneasy, so he ran to the statue and kowtowed a few times. He gritted his teeth and put a large amount of incense money into the box.
There are words in his mouth: "Grandpa Dao, please bless me a lot, a hundred ghosts are not close, and the family is healthy......"
Liang Lan has already bowed to the Daomen, and this Dao ancestor is also the ancestor, so he also knelt down, but the thumb of his left hand passed through the tiger gate and pressed to the little finger of his right hand.
In the Daomen, the left is auspicious and the right is fierce, and most of the salutes are with the left hand in front. There is a little Taoist priest who thanked the pilgrims in front of the door, and when he saw that the prince had invested incense money, he specially stepped forward to salute.
Liang Lan took the lead in returning the salute and asked, "May I ask the Taoist, do you know where Aoki's predecessor is located?" ”
When the little Taoist priest heard what he meant, his face was a little embarrassed. The Peach Blossom View is famous, and Master Aoki has made great contributions. That's why people often ask to see each other.
However, Shizun has a quirk and has never liked to see people. He refused: "Master, I have been concentrating on cultivation recently, and I am afraid that it will be inconvenient to meet guests." ”
"The Taoist chief doesn't have to be embarrassed, my master has an old friend with Aoki's seniors, and the Taoist is bothered to pass on the letter, and the real person will know it at a glance."
Liang Lan handed the letter to the little Taoist priest and bothered him to go to the messenger. The little Taoist priest hesitated for a moment, but finally took the letter, walked in the direction of the backyard, and ran away.
About a stick of incense time later, the little Taoist priest came over panting with the letter, and saluted Liang Lan: "The guests have been waiting for a long time, please come inside." ”
Aoki Taoist does not live in the Peach Blossom Temple, but in the courtyard not far behind the Taoist Temple, the little Taoist priest led Liang Lan and the three of them to go up the mountain path step by step, and came to the door of the quiet courtyard.
Small trees are planted around the courtyard, which looks messy, but faintly reveals the rules. The courtyard has been some years, and the yellow coating on the stone wall has been mottled and peeled off, and it is vaguely seen that the Taoist realm originally written, "sit and forget and meditate".
There should be a lot of flowers and plants planted in the courtyard, and there is a faint fragrance wafting out, and the smell is refreshing.
The little Taoist priest stood there, no longer moving forward, only hanging his hand and saying, "Distinguished guests, please come in, the trail will not go in." ”
Gao Dengyun said with a smile: "Master Aoki is really pompous. ”
The prince's suit also had slight beads of sweat on his forehead all the way, but when he thought that he had to rely on a real person to get rid of the green-faced demon, he suddenly complained in his heart.
Push open the door, and there is a small road leading straight ahead.
"Daoist, let's ....." Liang Lan turned around and asked, but saw that the little Taoist priest had disappeared.
"It's pretty fast," Liang Lan muttered, and walked in, and the fragrance of flowers came to her face.
In the courtyard, red, white, yellow, purple, and red, plum orchids, bamboo chrysanthemums, moon and roses, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, all bloom here.
Thinking of Taiyi Zhenren's magical Taoism, Liang Lan sighed in his heart, worthy of being a friend of the master, this Aoki senior really has some Taoism.
Countless flowers were mixed, Liang Lan smelled it, and suddenly felt dizzy, feeling that her body was fluttering, as if she was riding a cloud.
When I came back to my senses, I found that I didn't know when I walked into the courtyard pavilion.
The old Taoist priest with crane hair and childish face sat on the futon in the hall and closed his eyes and meditated, looking like a fairy wind and bones, as if he had attained the Tao.
There are a few little Taoist priests with lovely faces sitting around, some of them are decent, and they also learn from the old Taoist priests to meditate.
Liang Lan stood in front of the hall, not knowing what to do, and suddenly found that Gao Dengyun and Wang Zifu were missing. He couldn't find anyone, but he didn't dare to shout loudly, for fear of disturbing the old Taoist priest's practice.
Looking around, seeing that there was no one else around, Liang Lan tiptoed and quietly moved his body out.
Retreating to the door, someone secretly pulled him by the hem of his clothes.
Liang Lan turned her head to look at it, and it turned out to be a delicate-looking girl with hanging hair, who looked about twenty-eight beautiful, with a beautiful face and a handsome and lovely face.
Seeing Liang Lan's slightly stunned eyes, the little girl covered her mouth and snickered, didn't speak, smiled and walked a few steps and turned back to stare at Liang Lan.
Is this what you want me to do with her?
Liang Lan pondered in her heart, but her footsteps unconsciously followed.
