The reason why Ling Muyun suddenly talked about this incident was to arouse Shuang'er's interest and divert her attention, so as to alleviate the sadness of her parting. At this time, seeing that it really worked, he smiled slightly and briefly told Shuang'er what he experienced yesterday.

"Childe, this is not surprising, we live in seclusion in the mountains, and in order to prevent trouble from attracting the attention of the government, we almost never interact with the outside world. Some of the people in the nearby countryside came to probe their brains curiously, and we always pretended to be ghosts to scare them away. Therefore, the nearby mountain people thought that this was a haunted house, and no one dared to come here. Although according to Childe, those people in the court in civilian clothes may not be afraid, but the mountain people who act as guides for them must be afraid, and they are afraid that the mountain people guide is afraid that they will be forced to come and spend the night after saying it, so they simply hide it and don't mention it. ”

"Well, what Shuang'er said is reasonable, and that's probably it." Ling Muyun nodded and said, "By the way, Shuang'er, you will call me young master like Lao Lu in the future, Gongzi always feels a little polite in it, and it doesn't sound kind enough." ”

"Yes, Childe, ah no, it's the young master." Shuang'er stuck out her tongue and chuckled.

At that time, the sky was already bright, the east sun was rising, but seeing the clear sky like washing, thousands of miles without dust, a night of heavy rain, the trees in the mountains and forests were washed verdant, Shuang'er this smile, it can be said that people are more delicate than flowers, and those green branches and green leaves are matched, it is really indescribably good-looking. Thinking that such a pretty woman was now his maid, Ling Muyun couldn't help but feel happy, talking and laughing with Shuang'er, and Shuang'er also temporarily forgot the sentimentality of parting under the drive of Ling Muyun.

Unconsciously, the three of them had already walked to the foot of the mountain, because there were only two horses, Ling Muyun waved to Shuang'er after getting on the horse: "Shuang'er, come, let's ride together, and when we get to the town in front, we will buy a mount for you." ”

Although Shuang'er felt shy, it could be seen that the situation was indeed the case, three people and two horses, she couldn't go and ride with Lu Gaoxuan, so she had to jump on the horse and land in front of Ling Muyun. The beauty is in her arms, the fragrance is light, and the enjoyment is naturally not enough for outsiders, Ling Muyun was in a happy mood, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and the horse galloped away, leaving a string of hearty laughter on the avenue.

Lu Gaoxuan shook his head with a smile, and hurriedly followed.

Riding with a beautiful woman, it was naturally indescribably charming along the way, but the three of them ran all the way for dozens of miles, and when they saw a town in front of them, Ling Muyun was a little reluctant to get off the horse and settle down. In my heart, I regretted that I had promised to buy another mount for Shuang'er in the town, this is not to make myself uncomfortable!

However, these thoughts only turned around in Ling Muyun's heart, and he didn't say it, otherwise wouldn't it seem that he was not gentlemanly enough, and would damage his glorious image of a manly man? Although he was not a gentleman in the first place.

The three of them entered the town and settled in a small restaurant, and after Ling Muyun and Lu Gaoxuan sat down, they stood aside and waited. Ling Muyun said with a smile: "Shuang'er, don't be so polite, sit down and eat together." ”

Shuang'er shook his head and said, "How can it be done, how can I, who is a maid, eat at the same table with the young master?" That's too unruly. ”

Ling Muyun said: "What are the rules and regulations, I just say okay, and you can eat when I finish eating, and delay more time." ”

Shuang'er said: "Young master, as soon as you finish eating, let's go, I'll buy some steamed buns, just eat while walking, there will be no delay." ”

"Shuang'er, let me ask you, are you now a member of the Zhuang family or a member of my Ling family?" Ling Muyun suddenly put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked solemnly.

Shuang'er didn't know why, but still replied: "The third young grandmother has already given Shuang'er to the young master, and Shuang'er is naturally from the young master's family." ”

"Then you should abide by the rules of the dealer? Or do you want to abide by the rules of my Ling family? ”

"Naturally, I keep the rules of the young master's house."

Ling Muyun slapped his hand: "That's right, since you have entered the door of my Ling family, you naturally have to follow the rules of my Ling family, and there is only one rule of my Ling family, that is, you have to listen to me in everything, and any other messy rules will stand aside for me, if I let you eat together, you will accompany me to eat, those cumbersome rules are not allowed to be talked about in the future, do you hear?" ”

Shuang'er knew that Ling Muyun was treating her well, so she smiled, pulled a bench and sat down at the table, and ate with her.

The three of them had eaten, rested for a while, and then bought a horse for Shuang'er to use as a foot force at the market market, and inquired by the way, sure enough, the group of people last night was one step ahead of them, and rushed to the town in the middle of the night last night, rested for a night, and showed the doctor to the wounded, and then left a few seriously injured people to recuperate in the town, and the rest of the people had left early this morning.

This couldn't help but make Ling Muyun quite curious, what were these people going to do, why were they so anxious? Even the wounded were left directly on the road, and this kind of behavior was about to catch up with the 25,000-mile long march of the Red Army in later generations. But the Red Army is because there are large groups of pursuers behind the buttocks, and if you run slower, you can't run away if you are bitten, but what is the reason for this group of people? For some reason, Ling Muyun suddenly had an intuition that he and this group of people would probably meet again in the future.

Ling Muyun and Lu Gaoxuan didn't have the heart to find trouble with the few injured minions who stayed in the town, after all, the conflict last night was still a loss for the other party. Besides, even if you want to take revenge, you should find the white-faced old man who injured Lu Gaoxuan at the head, what kind of trouble is it to find his subordinates? At that moment, the three of them stayed no longer, left the town and set off for Shanxi.

Not long after coming to the junction of the two provinces. From Fuping County, Zhili Province to the west, cross the Great Wall Ridge, and go to Longjiaguan. This Longjiaguan is the east gate of Wutai Mountain, the stone path is rugged, the peaks and peaks are steep, the first temple after entering Wutai Mountain is Yongquan Temple. Ling Muyun asked where Qingliang Temple was, but it turned out that Wutai Mountain was huge, and Qingliang Temple was between the top of the south platform and the top of the middle platform, and the distance was really not close to Yongquan Temple. And in order to ask for the path, Ling Muyun gave dozens of taels of silver to the monk of Yongquan Temple. This can't help but make him sigh that the world style is not ancient, and he has to take money to open the way when he asks for a way, and this folk style is much worse than in the world of condor shooting.

The three of them stayed in the town next to the Yongquan Temple that night, and the next morning, the three of them set off, crossed the Longquan Pass, went south along the main road, and went straight to Wutai Mountain. Wutai Mountain is worthy of being one of the four famous mountains of Buddhism, once you enter Wutai Mountain, it is a temple that does not count miles, after passing Yongquan Temple, you pass through Tailu Temple, Stone Buddha Temple, Puji Temple, Ancient Buddha Temple, King Kong Library, Baiyun Temple, Golden Lantern Temple and go to Lingjing Temple. That night, I spent the night in Lingjing Temple, turned back to the north the next morning, and after arriving at Kinkakuji Temple, I went west for a few miles, and it was Qingliang Temple. That Qingliang Temple is on the top of Qingliang Mountain, it is not necessarily how grand, the mountain gate is dilapidated, it is in disrepair, the door is cold, obviously few pilgrims come to burn incense and pray, compared with those magnificent temples seen along the way, it seems to be lonely and dilapidated a lot. Ling Muyun couldn't help but nod secretly, the environment here is quiet and rarely disturbed, but it is a suitable place for people who are truly devout to worship the Buddha to practice, no wonder Shunzhi will choose to become a monk here. After all, Shunzhi has been the emperor for half his life, and the glory and wealth of the world have long been like dung to him, and what he needs is a place where he can truly meditate and practice.

It can be seen from this that Shunzhi is really escaping into the empty door, and he doesn't want to ask about the worldly affairs anymore, if it weren't for the forty-two chapters of Zhenghuangqi's scripture still in his hands, Ling Muyun wouldn't be able to bother him. It's a pity that since this Shunzhi escaped into the empty door, he couldn't do the real four empty, and he was still concerned about the Qing court, and kept the forty-two chapters of the Zhenghuang Banner in his hand, which was his way to death.

Ling Muyun sighed slightly, and then walked towards the Qingliang Temple. I didn't want to take a step just now, Lu Gaoxuan suddenly stopped him: "Young master, wait first, look over there." ”

"What's wrong?" Ling Muyun didn't know why, and looked in the direction Lu Gaoxuan pointed, only to see more than a dozen horses tied to a small forest on the side of the Qingliang Temple.

"It's just some horses, what's the fuss about, it's estimated that the pilgrims who came to offer incense stayed outside......" Before he finished speaking, Ling Muyun's voice stopped abruptly, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

No, that's not right. Judging from the scene of this Qingliang Temple and the answers obtained when asking for directions along the way, I am afraid that there is not a single pilgrim who has come to this Qingliang Temple for ten days and half a month to offer incense, how can so many people come at once? And the good men and women who go to Wutai Mountain are also mostly women, children, old and young, ordinary people are naturally walking up the mountain, and the eunuchs are generally riding sedan chairs, and there are few horseback riding, because horseback riding requires physical strength and riding skills are indispensable, generally only those who practice martial arts will choose to ride horses, and there are not many such people who believe in Buddhism!

"Young Master, do you see what's strange about this?" Lu Gaoxuan asked with a smile.

Ling Muyun nodded: "Yes, there is indeed something wrong here. ”

Lu Gaoxuan said: "Young Master, you and Miss Shuang'er might as well take a break here for a while, and let your subordinates go to explore first." ”

"Okay, be careful, too."

"Don't worry, young master, your subordinates will pay attention."

After Lu Gaoxuan finished speaking, he turned around and went straight to Qingliang Temple, but he did not enter directly through the mountain gate, but went around the wall of the temple to the other side opposite the small forest where the horse was tethered, and entered over the wall.

"Young Master, is there anything wrong with this Qingliang Temple? Why didn't I see it? Shuang'er asked suspiciously.

Ling Muyun knew that Shuang'er lacked experience in the rivers and lakes, so he immediately explained the strangeness to her, and Shuang'er suddenly realized.

At this moment, he saw Lu Gaoxuan's figure jumping out of the courtyard wall of Qingliang Temple like a big bird, and after landing on the ground, he walked back to Ling Muyun quickly, and said with a strange expression: "Young master, guess who is coming to Qingliang Temple." ”

"Who?"

"It's the group we met a few days ago when we were sheltering from the rain in a small temple on a barren mountain!"
