Yan Qing returned to his residence with a low voice.

The more than 500 acres of grange are patrolled by samurai dressed in wingman costumes. Some of these people were old subordinates who followed Duoduo's father back then, and some were guards sent by the commanders. Huskies were cautious in this regard and did not recruit unfamiliar people to come over.

This is the last hiding place for huskies, and they are more cautious in employing people.

"Auntie is gone?"

Pei Cuiyun ordered tea on the porch, and when she saw Zheng Yanqing coming back, she put a cup of tea in front of him.

She could vaguely sense some of the unusual things that Yanqing and Pei Shuying were unusual, but she didn't think of other places.

This is a gentle and virtuous woman, or rather, a bit of a nerd.

Zheng Yanqing nodded, sat down on the porch, and took a sip of the new tea that had just been picked on Emei Mountain. This kind of pure natural green tea is very different from the Mengding tea bred in greenhouses in later generations. A sip of light and elegant tea in the mouth, leaving a fragrant mouth. The faint, elegant fragrance of tea soaked into the heart, making the originally depressed mood seem to improve a lot at once. Some people say that ordering tea is a good thing.

A real tea master can convey their mood to tea drinkers.

Yan Qing is also a master of tea drinking, but in terms of the kung fu of starting tea, it is obvious that there is still a big gap with Pei Cuiyun.

"Good tea!"

He couldn't help but praise, and then asked, "What about Duoduo?" ”

"Oh, today the marshal sent someone over, saying that he had heard some news about Mr. Sun."

Emei Mountain has a large area, about 30 kilometers away from Rongle City, and is divided into large Emei, two Emei, three Emei and four Emei.

In the midst of these vast mountains, it is difficult to find a hermit who cultivates the Tao.

Fortunately, there is Duoduo, through her relationship with the wingmen, the bureaucracy sent people to contact the indigenous bureaucrats living in the Emei Mountains to find out the news.

"Mrs. Gao will come in a few days, and I am going to take the sea into the mountains."

"Then you have to be careful." Pei Cuiyun shook her eyebrows and said softly: "I heard Duoduo say that there are bureaucrats in the mountains, and they are fierce." ”

There are two types of bureaucrats, including those who are born and those who are familiar.

The so-called acquaintance is a bureaucrat who only lives around Rongle City and has been naturalized, or sinicized.

In addition to the clothing, there are some traditional customs that are not quite the same, and they are not too different from the Han people. Half farming, half fishing and hunting, he lived an extremely stable life. The bureaucrats are those who are not civilized. These guys are ferocious and savage, and retain some ancient customs, such as drinking blood, infesting the mountains and forests, and living by hunting, and fighting extremely strongly.

In the Minshu region, the bureaucrats are mainly concentrated in the mountainous areas, so the government is helpless.

Zheng Yanqing responded, "Don't worry, I'll be more careful."

By the way, the sea will enter the mountain with me, let Yuanqing stay. There can't be no one without a guard here, Yuan Qing's martial arts are good, he stays, and I can rest assured. ”

Pei Cuiyun snorted, and filled Yanqing's teacup with water.

The two of them sat on the porch, looking at the sunset on the horizon and the beautiful landscape of flying clouds, and couldn't help but be a little stupid......*** After a few more days, Mrs. Gao arrived in Rongle City.

The funeral of Changsun Sheng has ended, and the power struggle in Perak Hall has also come to an end. In the end, the eldest grandson Hengan did not get the position of the head of the family. The eldest grandson Xingying defected and elected the eldest grandson Shunde to take over the helm of Perak Hall. Compared with the title, the eldest grandson Hengan is not as good as Shunde. than age, more than scheming, more than means, than birth...... He also fell behind in everything, and finally had to bow his head.

The eldest grandson Wuji originally wanted to follow, but was rejected by Mrs. Gao.

He will soon reach the age of entering school, and Mrs. Gao hopes that Wuji can stay in Luoyang and study hard, so that he can enter the official school in the next year.

Although the eldest grandson Wuji was reluctant, after all, this was a major event related to the future, and he had to nod in the end.

Mrs. Gao was not at ease to hand over Wuji to the eldest grandson Shunde, because in this power struggle in Perak Hall, she found that the eldest grandson Shunde's scheming was too deep. At first, he was submissive, and then suddenly he took control of Perak Hall. This person is not reassuring.

So, Mrs. Gao sent Mowgli to her brother Gao Shilian. On the one hand, she is relieved, on the other hand, Gao Shilian has good knowledge and insight, and Wuji can learn a lot from Gao Shilian's side. This is undoubtedly of great benefit to Mowgli's future.

Speaking of Qing, at this time, he also heard some news and prepared to leave for the mountain.

At first, Zheng Yanqing was not ready to go with Duoduo. But Duoduo insisted and counted the benefits and disadvantages.

First of all, Duoduo can communicate with the locals at the right time. Secondly, Duoduo is now Gu Landuo, the niece of Rong Le's marshal, which can also allow her to solve a lot of unnecessary troubles; Third, she has good martial arts skills and will not drag Yanqing down.

Zheng Yanqing thought about it and agreed.

Pei Xingyan also wanted to go with him, but Zheng Yanqing did not agree.

After some persuasion, Pei Xingyan finally dispelled his thoughts.

He explained the situation to Mrs. Gao, and asked Mrs. Gao and Wujian to live in the Grange temporarily.

On a bright morning in early summer, Yanqing, Duoduo and Xiong Dahai set off with their bags, their thin waists and four eyes.

All three of them changed their outfits.

Calico leggings, pedal straw sandals. Dressed in the garb of a wingman, armed with weapons and bows and arrows, and sufficient food.

The mountainous area of Emei Mountain is nearly 100 square kilometers, including four mountains such as Dae. Daemei is the main peak of Emei Mountain, and it is customary to say that Emei Mountain refers to Daemei. Da Emei and Eremei, the two mountains are opposite. From a distance, the twin peaks are ethereal, like a thrush.

The mountain road is steep and steep, and the mountains are undulating and abrupt, with a majestic color that comes out of nowhere.

Da Emei Mountain, mainly based on Buddhist temples, is the dojo of Buddhist Puxian Bodhisattva.

It is unlikely that Sun Simiao will cultivate on Mount Emei, so he doesn't have to look for it there. According to the bureaucrats, Sun Simiao is most likely in the two peaks of Eremei and Sanemei. Especially in Sanemei, there are many Taoist temples. Even if Sun Simiao wasn't there, he must have been able to get some news about him from there. Therefore, the goal of Yan Qing and others was set at Sanemei.

When I entered the mountain, there was fog in the mountain.

Emei Mountain is known for its foggy, perennial clouds and mist, and rain is misty. The clouds and mist that permeate the mountains are ever-changing, making people feel like entering a fairyland. After Zheng Yanqing and the three of them entered the mountain, they quickly found the Taoist temple of Sanemei according to the path said by the locals.

However, after careful inquiry, no one knew Sun Simiao's whereabouts.

"Xiao Xiucai, like Mr. Sun's idle clouds and wild cranes, I am afraid that he may not be able to look down on these Taoist temples.

Will he hide in the mountains, with a cave in a certain mountain wilderness, to practice and ignore the world? If so, it will be difficult to find him. ”

Yan Qing took out a letter from his arms.

That was the last time Sun Simiao sent him a letter, and he only talked about some spiritual matters, and did not talk about anything else. The letter only said that he had cultivated with a few friends in Emei Mountain and had gained a lot. It was also said that Yuan Shoucheng's Taoism was profound, and his words revealed envy.

"Unlikely!"

Zheng Yanqing said in a low voice: "Since Mr. Sun is cultivating with people and living in the Shanye Cave Mansion, I am afraid that the possible surname is not very big.

I guess the most likely place he is located is a small Taoist temple.

Well, let me take another look......"

Yan Qing took out Sun Simiao's letter again and read it carefully.

"Duoduo, do you know where the azaleas are the reddest on Emei Mountain?"

Zheng Yanqing asked suddenly. Duoduo was stunned, shook his head and said, "How do I know this?" It's just the second time I've come to Emei Mountain. ”

"Find a Taoist temple and ask."

Zheng Yanqing said, stepping forward to go down the mountain.

The thin waist and four eyes barked wildly at this time.

Immediately after, there was a squeaking sound from the branches in the distance, and several golden snub-nosed monkeys showed their traces.

Zheng Yanqing was stunned, and looked at the monkey in surprise, but he didn't pay attention to it. Everyone knows that there are countless monkeys in this Emei Mountain.

In later generations, the monkeys of Emei Mountain are much crazier than they are now.

He stepped forward and patted the slender waist and four-eyed heads, signaling them to stop barking.

"Duoduo, let's go back."

Zheng Yanqing spoke, reaching out and taking the package from Duoduo's shoulder, "I remember that on the way here, there seems to be a temple. Let's go and inquire...... Mr. Sun said that he and his friends had enjoyed rhododendrons in the mountains. Presumably, the place where he practiced, the cuckoo should be a scene. ”

Duoduo agreed, and was not polite to Yanqing, holding a sharp sword, walking side by side with Yanqing.

Before you know it, the clouds and mist in the mountains are getting thicker and thicker.

After Zheng Yanqing and the three of them walked for a long time, they had to stop.

"I remember the temple wasn't far away...... Why did I walk for so long and still see no trace of the temple? ”

Zheng Yanqing said, glancing at Duoduo.

Suddenly, I was shocked, and a bad thought rose from the bottom of my heart.

Isn't it, taking a fork in the road?

"Xiao Xiucai, you can't go like this again!"

Duoduo looked at the sky, "The fog is getting heavier and heavier, and the sky is starting to darken. If we continue like this, it will be dangerous to get it wrong. In my opinion, let's find a place to eat and rest for the night. After dawn, recognize the direction and find it ...... later."

Walking on the mountain road at night is indeed full of dangers.

Yanqing didn't dare to take such a risk, so he nodded in agreement.

Nearby, the three of them found a dry place that could shelter from the wind and rain. There are a lot of dead branches in the mountains, so there is no need to worry about the fog in the mountains. Zheng Yanqing lit the fire with a fire fold, and Xiong Dahai found a spring nearby and filled the water bladder sufficiently.

Ate dry food and drank spring water.

Zheng Yanqing asked Duoduo to lie behind him to rest.

The two mastiffs were prostrate on dry ground not far away, pretending to sleep and rest.

Xiong Dahai put the heavy double axe beside him, sat down next to the stone by the bonfire, folded his arms, and soon fell asleep.

Zheng Yanqing took out the letter again and read it over and over again.

In the letter, the name of a person named Xi Dao appeared several times, and it seemed that he should be a friend of Sun Simiao. Maybe tomorrow's focus should not be on Sun Simiao's body, but on this Xichen Taoist person. Because judging from the tone in Sun Simiao's letter, this Xiqian Taoist seems to have lived in Emei Mountain for a long time. In this case, there must be more people who know him than Sun Simiao.

Putting the letter away, Zheng Yanqing took a deep breath.

This feeling is really like an ordinary man who goes into the mountains to find a fairy.

The fairy trail is ethereal, and it has been hard for a long time, but there is no clue...... As soon as this wonderful feeling rose in Yan Qing's heart, it could never disappear.
