Bai Qing walked on the mountain road, carefully recalling the scene of coming down the mountain, carrying a small trail with a broken baggage, and muttering a language that no one could hear.

When he returned to the mountain this time, he had nothing but a stronger body, two more big boxes in his hand, and an extra Feng Susu around him.

The further up you go, the heavier the fog becomes

The once sheep's intestine trail is no longer early, and the withered and yellow weeds all over the ground only leave faint traces.

It's been a long time since anyone has gone up and down from this trail.

Half a day's time, only halfway up the mountain, Feng Susu is a little weak to go up the mountain, the dry grass under the feet is very slippery by the fog, always three steps back and one step back.

Bai Qing found the big stone when he went down the mountain, and naturally thought of the scene when he rescued Liu Ruyan at the beginning, but at this moment, it was already a matter of fact.

The closer you get to the top of the mountain, the fog becomes as heavy as a drizzle.

In an open field in front of him, an old man with his hair in a bun and a long shirt was cleaning up the debris in front of the gate, staggering, weak, and it seemed very difficult to move once.

Ruyi Taoist Temple, four vigorous and powerful characters hanging on the door, looking pale and desolate, the mottled wall has no past glory.

The green bricks and white tiles don't seem to be so green and white.

Lao Dao heard the footsteps, straightened up, slowly raised his head, looked at the two uninvited guests, and then entered the Taoist temple without looking back.

The once endless stream of Taoist temples is now full of birds, and the weeds in front of the door are growing wildly, and they are about to surround the gate of the Taoist temple.

From summer to winter, the landscape has changed so much in just a few months.

Bai Qing put down the suitcase in his hand and knocked on the door of the Taoist temple.

It took a long time for footsteps to come from inside.

"I don't know what happened to the donor's visit to the Taoist temple, this Taoist temple no longer accepts incense offerings." An old voice came from inside.

Lao Dao didn't open the door, and he didn't see Bai Qing's appearance, but he couldn't recognize it when he saw it.

"Which thing are you? I'm Bai Qing, I'm back, you hurry up and open the door and let me in, if you let me know who you are and don't open the door for me, beware of me spanking you. A smile spread across Bai Qing's face, which was enough to surprise Feng Susu.

How can you talk like that?

The old Taoist inside the door listened to Bai Qing's words, his eyes lit up, and he slowly opened the door.

"Is it a junior brother? Is it really you, junior brother? You're back, and we'll ...... if you don't come back. The door was opened, but the old man actually cried, and the old tears were in a mess.

Just by his voice, Bai Qing hadn't recognized who the person in front of him was, and then looking at his appearance, Bai Qing recognized this senior brother - Qingyin.

Qing Yin is Xuan Zhen's youngest apprentice besides Bai Qing, but that's it, and he is twice as old as Bai Qing.

Bai Qing said with a smile on his face: "Little Senior Brother, why do you look like Master, are you having a hard time in the Guanli recently." ”

Qingyin's heart was sour, if it weren't for Feng Susu on the side, the old tears almost began to flood again.

Stepping into the gate of the Taoist temple, there is no difference between the inside and the outside, overgrown with weeds, and debris all over the ground.

Facing the gate of the Taoist temple is the enshrined Sanqing, Bai Qing looked at the lost Sanqing sitting on the platform sadly, there was no tribute, no incense, and even Sanqing's body was covered with cobwebs.

"Little Senior Brother, what's going on?" Bai Qing looked at Sanqing and asked.

Qingyin shook his head and sighed, "You don't have to worry about it, I'll take you to see Master." ”

Through a small door, they arrived at the back hall, which was where they lived and dined in their daily lives, and like the front, it was overgrown with weeds.

A small courtyard, seven or eight rooms on both sides, Bai Qing used to live in the first one.

"Senior brother, you and this donor will rest here first, and I will go and tell the master." Qingyin put Bai Qing's box in the room.

Although the outside is messy, the inside of the house is quite tidy, and even the furnishings have not changed.

Feng Susu really wanted to comment on Bai Qing's home, but when the words came to his lips, he took it back, and he really didn't dare to compliment him casually.

Not long after, Qingyin came out of the back hall and walked straight to Bai Qing's hut.

"Senior brother, Master let you go." Qingyin entered the house and said, "It's just that she ......." ”

Bai Qing immediately understood, turned to Feng Susu and said, "You wait for me here, and you'll be back in a while." ”

Feng Susu nodded.

Bai Qing wanted to know that in such a short period of time, such a big change had taken place in the view.

With Qingyin's slightly stumbling footsteps, entering the depths of the back hall, the hut that Bai Qing was familiar with came into view.

The dim candlelight, without any heating, made the room look cold.

An old man sat on an earthen bed, facing the wall.

"Coming back?" The old man's moans were hoarse, slightly vicissitudes.

With a plop, he knelt on the ground, "Master, what's wrong?" How did the Taoist temple become like this? ”

Xuan Zhen didn't answer, but Qingyin on the side opened the conversation.

"Senior brother, you don't know, since you left, everyone has missed you very much, especially Master, I didn't think about tea and dinner, and my body almost collapsed, and there were fewer and fewer pilgrims in the temple, and there was no livelihood, and the senior brothers all went down the mountain to make a living, if it weren't for the fact that Master was so old, I would ...... He also went down the mountain. ”

Qing Yin's voice became hoarse at the end.

"Qingyin, there is no need to say it, Bai Qing, you have seen it, go down the mountain tomorrow, don't come back in the future." Xuan Zhen said solemnly.

"No, Master, I won't go down the mountain, if I can't restore the Taoist temple to its former prosperity, the disciple won't go down the mountain." Bai Qing replied.

"Okay, how much sesame oil money did you bring back this time, can you renovate the Taoist temple?" Hyun Zhen turned around as he spoke.

His cheekbones were surprisingly thin, his forehead bulged out, and the beard on his chin was shaking.

Bai Qing was speechless, Xuan Zhen asked him to go down the mountain to let him comprehend the Dao Heart, but he didn't let him go looking for money.

"Master, you asked me to go down the mountain...... I went to find the Dao Heart, but there was no ...... Didn't ask me to get the money. In the end, Bai Qing's voice became very low.

"Stinky boy, don't you know? People live to eat," Xuan Zhen reached out and slapped Bai Qing's forehead, "Dao Xin, have you found it?" Show me, if you can't restore the popularity of the temple, then you can get out of here, and never come back. ”

slapped it over, Bai Qing knew in his heart that the master's body had recovered halfway, and if he asked for a few more words, the master would be able to jump alive immediately.

"Master, don't worry, I'll have someone renovate it tomorrow." Bai Qing swore and said, "Master, you see that you have lost weight. ”

Bai Qing got up and sat on the bed, hugged Xuan Zhen's shoulder, took out his mobile phone from his body with his other hand, and chattered a lot, and the other party agreed.

"Stinky boy, only you can relax my heart, okay, Qingyin, let your senior brothers come back tomorrow, I want to see who can come back with fat heads and big ears." Hyun Jin said with a smile.

Xuan Zhen smiled, and Bai Qing's heart was steady.

"By the way, Master, I've come back with someone to bring you, just look at it."

Xuan Zhen was suspicious for a while, and he didn't know what Bai Qing was doing.

It didn't take long for Feng Susu to stand in front of Xuan Zhen.

"Hello Master." Feng Susu knelt on the ground and said, Bai Qing's master is also her master, but I don't know if Xuan Zhen can still remember her.

Bai Qing told Feng Susu about the situation.

"What? You said that she was ...... the mountain, not the ...... of the fire, but it was only to blame that we went down late at that time, otherwise your father would not have ....... Xuan Zhen sighed with emotion.

But when Bai Qing said that he and Feng Susu were going to stay together for the rest of their lives, Xuan Zhen's reaction was completely unexpected by the two.

"You have to think about it carefully, you are also older, and the master can't keep you, but I tell you, since you have decided, you have to be responsible for others." Xuan Zhen's voice was not high, but his tone was absolutely sharp.

Xuan Zhen knew that there would be such a day, and Bai Qing's name would be a common name.

"It's so cold, why don't you make a brazier?" Bai Qing complained to Qingyindao, and changed the topic by the way, "Master, I'll go get some firewood and make a brazier." ”

Hyun Jin sat back on the bed, and the warmth of the brazier instantly filled the entire cabin.

After taking away Qingyin and Feng Susu, Xuan Zhen looked at Bai Qing with a tense face.

"Stinky boy, you go out and have a good time, let us old guys fend for themselves in the mountains, look at it, I haven't eaten meat for a month, what has I lost weight, if you don't come back, I really want to go down the mountain to find you, and give you a beating by the way." Hyun Jin began to scold.

Bai Qing was so bitter, thinking in his heart, how could there be such a good mix outside, besides, you can't let people use their true qi indiscriminately, you only went to save people and find the Dao heart, and you didn't let me go to find money.

"Master, I didn't get anything, it's not what you said, you can't do this, you can't do that." Bai Qing said with a sad face.

"You stinky boy, it's strange to be like this, Master, when have you ever heard such a word." Xuan Zhen deliberately said angrily.

"Master, I'm hungry, I'm hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry ......." Bai Qing said coquettishly.

Xuan Zhen looked at Bai Qing lovingly, when did this child ever be so pitiful, although this child was playful, he blamed himself for talking too much when he went down the mountain, but he didn't expect Bai Qing to take it seriously.

"Okay, get up, eat right away," Xuan Zhen shouted at the door again: "Qingyin, make a fire and cook immediately, and take out all the delicious food in the view." ”

Qingyin, who was waiting outside the door, immediately replied excitedly when he heard the master's shout: "Master Haole." ”

Qing Yin hadn't heard such a powerful roar from Xuan Zhen for a long time.

A few bowls of somen noodles were brought to the table, only Feng Su was very energetic, and the taste was the same as that of Bai Qing Yao, but it lacked a strong strength.

"Eat, junior brother, after eating, the next meal will be gone." Qingyin said.

Bai Qing looked at Qingyin, and then looked at Xuanzhen, wondering in his heart, could it be that there is no food on the mountain.

"Say what? Your junior brother is back today, and there will be nothing to eat in the future, so eat quickly. Xuan Zhen yelled at Qing Yin.

Bai Qing really couldn't eat it, how could the somen noodles made by Qingyin be compared to what he made, "I'm not hungry yet, or you can eat vegetarian." ”

Feng Susu is not welcome, although the taste is not as good as Bai Qing, but it is a hundred times stronger than the average one, and it is cleaned up in three or five times.

Xuan Zhen, who was watching, muttered in his heart, there is no food on this mountain, and this kid has brought back something to eat.
