Chapter 20 The Taoist Temple on the Mountain
In the blink of an eye, Chu Yuanyang restrained his smile: "Let's go!"
Mu Ran nodded, stopped playing, reached out to wrap her arms around Chu Yuanyang's waist, tapped the ground with her heels, and flew towards the wall with her.
Chu Yuanyang was a little afraid of heights, although he was afraid, he still kept his eyes open and let Mu Ran take him away from the ground.
"Afraid?" Mu Ran looked down at Chu Yuanyang, who was obviously already afraid in his eyes, but still expressionless and relaxed.
Chu Yuanyang raised his head and nodded honestly.
The moment she suddenly raised her head, the corners of Mu Ran's lips suddenly brushed her full and smooth forehead.
The two of them were stunned.
Fortunately, the time to leap in the air is not long.
After reaching the ground, Mu Ran took the first step to loosen Chu Yuanyang's waist and quickly jumped away.
From the neck upwards, at a speed visible to the naked eye, it is crawling all over the red glow.
"I, I'll take a look around first. Without waiting for Chu Yuanyang to respond, he quickly left the place.
Chu Yuanyang looked at the back that disappeared rapidly, his eyes were clear, and his face was as usual.
The Taoist temple can't see the size of the inside from the outside, but after coming in, you can understand why Mu Ran returned in vain.
It's really big here, and the main hall and small hall are about the same length, if you want to find someone here, it's very difficult to find someone without anyone to lead the way.
The place where they flew down was a corridor and a path.
About seven or eight zhang away from the corridor path, there is a vigorous ginkgo tree, and the dense and towering tree is covered with yellow cloth strips, and the dense small characters written on the cloth strips can be faintly seen.
Not far from the ginkgo tree, there are two solemn stone carving statues, the road statues are carved lifelike, full of charm.
In front of the Taoist statue, there is a bell alloy copper tripod, the copper tripod is carved with ancient Taoist runes, and the copper tripod is full of burned candles and incense ash.
It can be seen that this Taoist temple is full of incense.
Walk straight along the vermilion lacquered wooden hall corridor path, enter the worship hall, the hall is not inhabited, a quiet and solemn atmosphere.
"Why are you a little fat man again, I said I wasn't a thief, you ....... ”
Mu Ran's voice came from the corner of the corridor and path.
Chu Yuanyang came out when he heard the sound and asked Mu Ran with his eyes.
"Okay, so you still have accomplices?"
Without waiting for Mu Ran to answer, the little fat man took a broom that was much higher than his head, and pointed at Chu Yuanyang with an angry face.
There was no need for Mu Ran to explain, Chu Yuanyang also heard it.
"I'm afraid the Taoist chief has misunderstood. Chu Yuanyang's attitude was sincere and his tone was gentle.
The little fat man suddenly retreated a lot of anger: "Misunderstanding? Then tell me, why did you sneak up on the apse?"
Chu Yuanyang's face softened even more: "Our brother and sister, thanks to the grace of Daochang Li, specially came to thank you. ”
The little fat man was full of disbelief and questioned: "If you say thank you, why don't you go through the front door?"
"Li Daochang's magic power is strong, a few days ago in the cold house to exorcise ghosts and evil spirits, remove a major harm in the whole town, however, he has a noble character, high wind and bright festival, do not want to be bowed down by us, yesterday, did not say goodbye to us, and hurried back to the Taoist temple, therefore, we quietly slipped into the Taoist temple, just want to find Li Daochang, personally thanked. ”
Chu Yuanyang had already thought of the words when he was down the mountain, so at this moment, he made up nonsense and did not change his face, which inevitably made people believe it.
Mu Ran was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that Chu Yuanyang, who usually looked serious and serious, would lie at this moment, and it would be easy for him to lie.
What Chu Yuanyang said was well-founded, and his words contained the meaning of complimenting Taoism, which made the little fat man hesitate a little.
"Since this Uncle Li doesn't want to be thanked by you, then please leave quickly! ”
"Xiaodao chief, although the little girl has no talent and no virtue, but she is favored by others, she should not forget to report it, even a three-year-old child knows something, how can I treat it as ignoring?"
Chu Yuanyang's face remained unchanged, but his tone began to harden, and the little Taoist priest did not let her thank her in person, which meant that she would be an ungrateful person.
The little Taoist priest was still young, and he didn't know how to refuse for a while, a chubby little face was squeezed together, and the mung bean's small eyes narrowed into a slit, looking very funny and cute.
"Xiaodao has only entered the Taoist temple for a short time, I don't know who you are referring to Li Daochang, but yesterday there was indeed an uncle who came back from outside, but Uncle Shidao's name is Mingzhi, whether the original surname is Li or not, Xiaodao is not clear. ”
Mu Ran held back a smile and said to the little Taoist priest with a straight face: "Can the little Taoist take us to see the appearance of the Taoist leader?"
"This ......!" the little Taoist priest hesitated, and then nodded: "You come with me!"
The two followed behind the little Taoist priest, passing through three small halls full of stone statues, two large halls with golden statues, and a winding vermilion wood lacquer corridor, and came to a large and solemn Zen courtyard.
The little Taoist priest stopped standing outside the Zen Temple, looked at the courtyard called the Meditation Meditation Temple, and turned his head to the two behind him.
"This is Uncle Mingzhi's Zen Temple, you can go in and take a look! Xiaodao will not go in, but if you see Uncle Mingzhi, don't tell him that Xiaodao brought you here. ”
Chu Yuanyang nodded and agreed: "There is a long way." ”
After the little Taoist priest left, Mu Ran couldn't hold back any longer, and pointed at Chu Yuanyang and couldn't help laughing.
Chu Yuanyang had long been accustomed to Mu Ran, who had convulsions from time to time, ignoring his laughter, and cautiously observing the environment in the Zen courtyard with his eyes.
The silence in the temple was unusual, and there was no one in the temple.
The layout of the entire temple is very strange, from the entrance to the closed meditation room, it is a straight path paved with blue and white cobblestones.
On both sides of the path, there are nine-leaf grasses that are more than one meter wide, and the nine-leaf grasses are green and vibrant, but they are not tall, only one or two inches high.
The grass is surrounded by a narrow line of delicate flowers that are dreamy pink.
Next to the flowers, there are hundreds of water tanks cast in black copper.
The water tank is smooth throughout, and there is no exquisite carved engraving.
I don't know what the structure of the water tank is, it seems to be empty, but in fact, a thin gas is constantly floating out, and I don't know if the gas is black fog or black gas.
After floating out, it swings in the same direction in an orderly manner, which is the closed meditation room.
Mu Ran put away the hippie smiling face, blocked in front of Chu Yuanyang, and slowly stepped into the Zen courtyard.
Chu Yuanyang followed him with some trepidation.
The moment the two of them stepped into the Zen Monastery with their feet separated, the entire Zen Monastery suddenly underwent earth-shaking changes.
The color of the grass changed from emerald green to dark green, and the pink flowers gradually deepened, turning into a blood-glowing red.
Hundreds of black copper water tanks seemed to be violently injected with energy, and they were suspended in unimaginable unity.
The black gas wafting out of the black copper water tank was as black as ink from the exhaust of a motorcycle with diesel fuel.
