Everyone didn't know how long they had been chasing after each other, but finally in the afternoon of the next day, they walked out of the endless snow-capped mountains and entered a place where it was already autumn scenery.

There were no people along the way, and everyone didn't know where they went.

Fortunately, the direction that everyone was chasing was not much different from the direction of the compass in Laizi's hand, and they were still moving towards the area of Dahongliutan.

After turning into the new realm, the mysterious fake Ye Jiu actually waved his hand at Zhang Meng and the others, and then turned a mountain and disappeared.

The angry Zhang Meng scolded like Zhao San: "Phew! Hunting geese all day long, I didn't expect to be played with. ”

Brother Jun looked at the direction where the fake Ye Jiu disappeared, and thoughtfully dusted the snow on his windbreaker with his gloves.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Meng said with some guilt: "Brother Jun, I dragged you down......"

Brother Jun did not respond.

However, when Ye Jiu saw the fake Ye Jiu provocatively leaving, a handsome face was so blue that he wanted to chase after him. Looking at Ye Jiu, who was blindly chasing, Brother Jun raised his hand to stop Ye Jiu, shook his head, and did not speak.

Zhang Meng turned around and asked: "Laizi, I see that the climate here is not the same as the snow-capped mountains I walked before, according to your experience for so many years, what kind of boundary is this?" ”

Raiko looked at the compass and said, "If the direction is good, looking at the climate here, I think we have walked out of the Devil's Valley." ”

"I think so." Zhang Meng nodded.

"If only the sheepskin were rolled up in us." When Lai Zi thought that the parchment roll was still on Zhang Shaotu's body, he immediately said regretfully.

"I don't need a map, I'll write it down." Zhang Meng smiled and said, "Don't forget, the map in Lian Lady's hand." I drew them all from memory! ”

"I almost forgot that you had a knack for memorization." Lai Zi smiled, but he didn't look very surprised.

Ye Jiu, who had calmed down on the side, glanced at Lai Zi mysteriously, and stopped talking.

"If I remember correctly, out of the Devil's Valley, it should be the boundary of the Great Red Willow Beach, but there are many peaks in that area, and I'm not sure which one we are on." Zhang Meng looked at the surrounding mountains and said.

Brother Jun, who had been silent, smiled with a somewhat strange expression.

"Brother Jun!" Seeing Brother Jun's appearance, Zhang Meng hurriedly turned his head sideways.

"I think we can find the real way just by moving forward." Brother Jun curled the corners of his mouth, and looked at the fake Ye Jiu who had left, revealing a trace of alternative contempt.

Hearing Brother Jun's words, Zhang Meng suddenly realized, and said urgently: "Brother Jun, are you saying that the fake Ye Jiu deliberately appeared in our sight just to lead us to the right route?" ”

Hearing Zhang Meng's words, Ye Jiu, who had already understood, secretly glanced at Lai Zi again.

I saw that Laizi didn't have any expression on his face, but there was a trace of incomprehensible surprise in his eyes.

"If that's the case, then it makes sense." Zhang Meng nodded again and again, and said in an echo: "I said that this fake Ye Jiu has been far and near along the way, but he has been wandering in front of us, according to his ability to control the distance at that time, he is fully capable of escaping." ”

"Huh." Hearing this, Brother Jun smiled faintly, looked ahead, and said lightly: "On the way, I saw that his purpose was not pure, and when I saw that he had no malicious intentions, I didn't try my best to chase him." Otherwise, he alone would not be able to escape. After speaking, Brother Jun resumed his usual tone, looked at Zhang Meng and said, "So, Ah Meng, you don't have to feel guilty!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Meng smiled happily: "It turned out to be the water you put out, Brother Jun!" ”

Seeing this, Zhang Meng turned his head to look at Lai Zi and said, "Since the general direction is the same, I think as long as we go forward, we will definitely find the right route, let's go." ”

Raiko nodded, and the four of them got back on their way.

The crowd chose a relatively low mountain peak to walk, and before they had gone far, they saw a mountain road. Although the mountain road was dilapidated, as if it had not been built for many years, it was enough to make Zhang Meng ecstatic.

If you know that there is a mountain road, it means that someone is walking.

Zhang Meng and others walked along the mountain road, and before they went far, they found a very small Taoist temple halfway up the mountain.

After seeing this Taoist temple, Zhang Meng hurriedly called the three of them and said: "It seems that we can not only know where this is, but also find Taoist clues about the foothills of Kunlun Mountain!" ”

Along the way, Zhang Meng saw all the lama temples and herdsmen, but he had never seen a Taoist temple.

Lai Zi also nodded and said, "Looking at the architectural style and soil quality of the Taoist temple, it should be some years. Maybe you can really find some clues about the White Cloud Immortal Palace......"

"Can you tell what era it is?" Zhang Meng walked into the Taoist temple with everyone and asked.

"The scale of the Taoist temple should be the alternate period of the Song and Yuan dynasties, but the foundation of this wall is not quite like it." Lai Zi shook his head, but suddenly remembered something, and added: "It is really possible that it has something to do with the White Cloud Immortal Palace." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Meng was stunned.

"I think this old wall base should be like the building material of the pre-Qin period." Lai Zi said: "The Baiyun Immortal Palace is also built in the tomb of the pre-Qin Dynasty. ”

"So, we really have to go in and bother us." Zhang Meng took a deep breath, turned around and knocked on the door of the Taoist temple.

Probably because there is no one living in it all year round, the door of the Taoist temple is closed, and even dust falls on it.

"Bell! Clang! ”

After waiting for a moment, the door slowly pushed open, and a child-like Taoist boy peeked out from inside.

However, that little Taoist boy didn't look like Zhang Meng and the others had imagined before.

The little Taoist boy in front of him has deep eyebrows, bright eyes with a slight hint of strange pupils, and a blush unique to the plateau on his face, which is not the appearance of Kham Tibetans or Han Chinese, but somewhat like Uyghurs.

"Little master, are you ......" Zhang Meng opened his mouth and asked.

The little Taoist boy didn't seem to expect that there would be Han people coming here to knock on the door, so he immediately closed the door with a "bang" and hurriedly ran back to the Taoist temple.

Zhang Meng and the others looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly, perhaps this little Taoist boy was also afraid because he saw that his people were not Tibetans.

Lai Zi was thoughtful, and when he saw that although Xiao Daotong closed the door, he didn't plug it in from the inside, so he immediately pushed open the door.

The four of them took the opportunity to walk into this small Taoist temple!

The Taoist temple is not an isolated one, what everyone pushes open is just a mountain gate blocking the front, and after dozens of meters, there is another door, and inside that gate is the real Taoist temple.

But before everyone could walk in, they saw someone push open the door, and an old Taoist priest wearing a big cotton jacket and looking like a Han came to the four of them.

"Are the four donors here to offer incense?"

Hearing the old Taoist priest's fluent Chinese, Zhang Meng tilted his head sideways and asked Xiang Laizi in a low voice: "Does the Taoist priest also call us donors like this?" ”

"Donor, which originally means the master of almsgiving, is not an exclusive term for Buddhism. However, the general Taoist pays attention to penance, and there are few people who ask for incense money, he calls us so, it seems that this Taoist temple is also worshipped. Raiko explained.

"Oh." Zhang Meng nodded, and seeing that the old Taoist priest seemed to know Chinese, he immediately nodded and replied, "Yes." ”

"Then a few donors, please come with me."

The old Taoist priest raised his hand and led Zhang Meng and the four of them to the inner courtyard, and as soon as they stepped into the inner courtyard, the four of them saw the words "Niangniangguan" written on the main entrance of the temple.

Although the four of them were a little unclear, they could only be confused, followed the guidance of the old Taoist priest and donated some incense money, and worshiped the strange-looking lady on the main hall.

After a qiē, before Zhang Meng and the others could ask, the old Taoist priest took them into the side room on the side, and ordered the little Taoist boy just now to get tea.

The five of them sat on the ground, and Zhang Meng also took the opportunity to speak: "Dao Chief, what kind of place is this?" ”

Hearing Zhang Meng being so direct, Lai Zi hurriedly tugged at Zhang Meng's clothes, but the old Taoist priest seemed to have expected that Zhang Meng and the others were not really people who came here to offer incense, and waited for the little Taoist boy to take the tea and hand it to the four of them, before saying, "Come, drink our snow mountain milk tea here first." ”

"Snow Mountain Milk Tea?" Zhang Meng paused slightly and said with a smile: "Isn't it butter tea?" ”

Hearing Zhang Meng say this, the old Taoist priest smiled and did not speak. On the other hand, the strange-looking little Taoist boy seemed to understand what Zhang Meng said, and muttered a lot.

Just when everyone looked at each other puzzled, the old Taoist priest opened his mouth and explained: "He is explaining to you this snow mountain milk tea again, in fact, this milk tea is not much different from butter tea, but it is made by me, a little Taoist boy, with goat's milk, tea leaves, and salt, and the unique dried fruits here." ”

"I see." Looking at the smug little dao boy, Zhang Meng took a few sips and gave a thumbs up to the little dao boy again and again.

Seeing that someone praised him, Xiao Daotong immediately smiled.

"Dao Chief, what nationality is this little Dao boy from?" Raiko asked.

"Kazakhs." The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "Most of the people in my Taoist temple are Kazakhs, and so am I, but I look a little like a Han Chinese." ”

"I see." Zhang Meng nodded.

"No wonder!" Yoriko muttered to herself.

Seeing that the old Taoist priest didn't know why, Zhang Meng hurriedly explained beside him: "My brother has been well-informed since he was a child and can understand a little Uyghur. ”

"Oh, in fact, many people misunderstand that we are Uyghurs." The old Taoist priest suddenly realized, looked at Zhang Meng and the others and said, "You must have taken the wrong road to come to the junction of new Tibet." ”

Zhang Meng smiled embarrassedly.

"In fact, Poor Dao can also see that a few people don't know about this Taoist temple, but being able to come here is because of our mother's view." The old Taoist priest also said with a ashamed face: "We have few people here, and the incense is not prosperous, so the poor Taoist will let a few people add some incense, and the four donors should not be blamed." ”

"Where! Where! Seeing the old Taoist priest, Zhang Meng and the four of them hurriedly returned the salute and said: "What the Taoist chief said is that there is no reluctance even if it is an opportunity, and the four of us are also sincere people to the Tao." ”

"Oh?" Hearing Zhang Meng say this, the old Taoist priest was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect that at the junction of Xinzang, there would be someone who sincerely said to the Tao, and hurriedly made a big gift to everyone excitedly.
