Chapter 246: See the mysterious old man guarding the mountain again

I woke up Xiaodouzi early the next morning, and I opened my hazy eyes to see Xiaodouzi smiling, thinking that if she didn't call me, I would be able to sleep until noon.

"Uncle!" As soon as I woke up, Caixia's voice came from there.

"What's the matter, Miss Caixia?" I replied loudly.

"Let's go early today, or we'll waste our time again!"

"Good!" As soon as I answered, I turned over and got up, pulled my clothes and put them on my body, and then carried Bi Ranjian and followed Xiaodouzi out of the room.

The old man and the old woman simply made breakfast, rice porridge and steamed buns, plus a few plates of pickles. Looking at the white breakfast in front of me, I didn't say much, grabbed the steamed bun and stuffed it into my mouth, the little bean and Caixia on the side also ate it one bite at a time, and the little white who was hiding in the little bean's clothes also probed out, and the little bean broke half of the steamed bun and handed it to the little guy.

After a short time we had breakfast, Caixia said hello to the old man, stood up and led us out of the thatched hut.

Walking along the way we came back last night, we soon came to the place where we had fought with the wolves last night, the cold wind blew in the early morning, and the spotted wolf blood left by yesterday's wolf corpse could still be faintly seen on the snow. I stood still and looked around, but I didn't see any grass huts or anything like that, could it be that the strange old man I saw last night really fell from the sky?

"Uncle, what are you looking for?" Caixia looked at me and asked.

"I want to see where the old man who guarded the mountain yesterday lives?" I continued to walk around.

Caixia frowned, "I've been looking for Xuan Bing in this radius for the past few days, and I haven't found any grass huts or anything like that!" ”

I had known for a long time that this would be the result, so I wasn't surprised.

Xiaodouzi pulled me, raised his head and whispered: "Brother Bi, that old man seemed to be very powerful last night!" ”

"Hmm!" I nodded slightly, "It's not ordinary!" ”

Caixia on the side didn't notice that Xiaodouzi and I were whispering, and said loudly: "It's not too early, if we don't look for it, we should attract that group of wild wolves again!" ”

I didn't answer, so I pulled the little bean and turned around to find it.

……

The three of them braved the cold wind in the morning to search for dozens of miles around here, but unfortunately found nothing, and when it was close to noon, we hunted wild animals again, raised the fire and roasted the meat to eat.

In the afternoon we continued to look for cliffs and abysses, but still found nothing, hey, I wondered, how is there no legendary abyss in this snowy woods? Do you really think that the strange old man guarding the mountain said, it is ours sooner or later, and we can't come in a hurry?

We were going to go back when it was almost dark, and we didn't dare to stay outside longer because we had learned the lesson of last night, and it would be troublesome if we attracted the wolves again. Caixia was not empty-handed, and casually hit two big birds and carried them all the way back to the village.

The old man and the old woman were pleasantly surprised to see us come back, and we brought back the game, and soon a large pot of fragrant meat was ready, and several of us had a big meal, and the old man also brought out two jars of old wine. It was already dark after we had eaten and drunk, so we went back to our rooms to rest without further ado.

……

For three days in a row, the three of us went out early and returned late, looking around early in the morning, and coming back before sunset in the evening, and when we came back, we all brought the game that we had hit, but the three days were useless, and we walked all the way in a hundred miles, but unfortunately we still didn't find any cliffs and abysses.

Although Caixia didn't complain anything, I could see the anxiety in her heart, and the time it took for her senior sister to be slandered by Wang Wu should be about the same, and if we can't find it again, we should go crazy.

On the fourth day, when we went out of the village again to look for it in the snow, the old man who was guarding the mountain reappeared, still dressed in tattered clothes and covered with ravines, as if he had not washed his face for a month.

Thanks to the fact that we already knew that there was still him in this snowy land, otherwise we would all have to be scared to death by him.

The old man guarding the mountain was still holding the branch he had seen before in his hand, and he looked at us with a smile in his urn: "How is it?" Have you had a harvest these days? ”

"Senpai!" Caixia saluted with a sword in her hand and said: "In the past few days, we have traveled all over the radius of a hundred miles and have not found the cliff or abyss, and we hope that our predecessors will advise!" ”

"Haha......ha The old man guarding the mountain smiled, and the wrinkles on his face suddenly appeared, "You have really traveled all over this radius of a hundred miles?" ”

"Uh-huh!" The little bean on the side nodded busily.

The old man guarding the mountain turned his eyes to me: "This old brother, you really didn't find the abyss?" ”

I shook my head slowly and honestly said, "I didn't find it!" ”

"Haha......ha There was another hearty laugh, and the old man leaned close to my ear, whispered the name of the place, then straightened up his low body, smiled at me, and then turned away without saying a word.

"Brother, what do you mean?" I was busy shouting in the back.

"Ha Lu Ha ......, you will know the Tao when you go!" The old man guarding the mountain didn't look back, and disappeared as soon as he turned around.

As soon as the strange old man left, Caixia and Xiaodouzi hurriedly approached me, "Uncle, what did he tell you?" Caixia, dressed in black fur, asked me anxiously.

"Land Temple?" I muttered the two words I had just heard.

"Land Temple?" Caixia looked at me puzzled.

"Hmm!" I nodded, "He said those two words in my ear!" ”

Caixia pondered for a moment before looking up at me, and said with a puzzled expression, "Could it be that the Xuan Bing we are looking for is in the Land Temple?" ”

I hurriedly looked around, "But we haven't seen a land temple in this hundred miles!" ”

"Otherwise, let's go back to the village and ask the uncle!" The little bean on the side came up with an idea.

"Okay, let's go back!" When Caixia heard this, she didn't delay at all, turned around and walked in the direction of the village. I didn't say anything more, and followed her with Xiaodouzi.

After a short time we rushed back to the village, the old man was drying things in his courtyard, and he was a little surprised to see us returning, "Girl, why did you come back so early?" ”

"Uncle, we have something to ask you!" Caixia looked sincere.

"Oh girl, don't you dare to ask for advice, just ask if there is anything!" The old man is refreshing.

Caixia asked softly, "Uncle, do you know that there is a land temple near here?" ”

"Land Temple?" The old man looked at us with some puzzlement.

"Yes!" Caixia nodded, but she didn't know how to explain it, "It's ......." ”

"It's a small temple that worships the god of the land!" I looked at Caixia's overwhelmed appearance, and couldn't help but feel anxious, so I spoke for her as soon as I opened my mouth.

The old man listened to my words, and suddenly realized: "You are looking for the Land Gong Temple, right?!" ”

"Land Gong Temple?" The two of us looked at each other, and immediately nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, yes......!" "The land temple worships the land father, which land temple have you ever seen worships the land grandmother?!

The old man looked at us, stood up straight and said, "If you want to talk about this land temple, there is one outside this village, but it is difficult to find this heavy snow blocking the mountain." ”

"For what?" Xiaodouzi couldn't help but ask.

The old man looked at her, raised his hand and gestured, "That temple is only so big, I'm afraid it has long been covered by snow now!" As he spoke, he gestured to a square the width of a man's waist.

I was dumbfounded, I went, is this still a land temple? Isn't this just an urn? Belch...... Bah, don't let the land public hear it, or you will be in trouble.

Caixia was quite patient, looked at the old man and said slowly: "Uncle, can you please take us to have a look?" ”

"Okay, I'll go back to the house and put on some clothes!" The old man said, turned around and entered the thatched hut.
