Chapter 52: Strange Taoism

Yun Zhiyao's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "How can it be possible to fall off the cliff and die, how can the master be so careless." ”

Wuchen sighed: "Master went to the morning exercise every morning and came back on time at breakfast, but he didn't come back that day, so we went out to look for him, and we didn't find anyone until noon." Later, someone saw a corner of Master's clothes on the top of the cliff, and finally found Master's body......"

Yun Zhiyao shook his head: "How can this be, haven't you found anything suspicious nearby?" ”

Wuchen shook his head: "No, the master had an old problem with leg pain for a while, and he also said that he would prepare a new medicine to treat his leg disease, and everyone suspected that he might have accidentally slipped down because he went to pick herbs." ”

That sounds reasonable, too.

The old man had leg pain, his feet were naturally unstable, the ground on the cliff was uneven, and it was difficult to face some morning dew in the morning, which was extremely slippery, and it was not impossible to have an accident.

But Yun Zhiyao still felt that things were a little incredible.

Wuchen looked at the sky: "Let's hurry up the mountain, the brothers on the mountain heard that you are coming, but they have already prepared a reception banquet, so they are waiting to catch the wind and wash the dust for you." ”

Yun Zhiyao nodded, and then followed him up the mountain without saying a word.

Chen Lichuan wanted to speak a few times, but finally held back.

After walking for about two or three hours, you can vaguely see a magnificent Taoist temple on the mountain.

Yun Zhiyao finally spoke: "Senior brother, who took over Master's place?" ”

Normally, the old abbot Yuan passed away and replaced him with his eldest disciples, but looking at the dustless outfit in front of him, this successor is definitely not him.

Yun Zhiyao was a little confused in her heart.

Wuchen replied: "He was replaced by the fifth junior brother who was speechless. ”

Yun Zhiyao was puzzled: "Although the fifth junior brother is smart and clever, he is quite loved by the master, but after all, he has a short entry time and is young, how could the master let him ......"

Wuchen interrupted her: "Before the accident, the master left a suicide note for Wuyu to take his place, no matter what the master decides, it is right." ”

Yun Zhiyao was silent.

Before this, she always felt that Wuchen would be the next master of Wudang Mountain, Wuchen looked a little wooden and honest on the surface, but he was kind-hearted, hard-working, and studious, and he was the most valued one among several disciples.

But he never imagined that he would pass on the position of abbot to the speechless who had just entered the house.

However, Yun Zhiyao felt that he should not be involved in these things, not to mention that he was just a lay disciple of Wudang Mountain, even if he was a beginner disciple, he was not qualified to interfere with the abbot's decision.

……

As Wuchen said, in order to welcome Yun Zhiyao's arrival, a table full of wine and food was prepared in the Taoist temple to catch her wind and wash the dust.

Yun Zhiyao swallowed two glasses of wine, her face was slightly red, and her eyes were red: "I never thought that Master would leave so early......"

Speechless is around thirty years old, with beautiful facial features: "When the master died, everyone was very sad, but people can't be resurrected after death, and senior sister shouldn't be too sad." ”

Dustless transfer topic: "It's rare for you to come to Wudang Mountain once, you must stay for a few more days." ”

Yun Zhiyao shook his head: "I came to Wudang Mountain this time to ask for a peach wood sword that has opened the light to ward off evil spirits, and my friend is in a hurry to use it, so I can't delay it longer." ”

Wuchen frowned: "You don't want to leave tomorrow, do you?" ”

Shangguan Yao nodded: "I plan to get up early tomorrow and go down the mountain." ”

Speechless smiled: "Senior sister, let's go down the mountain the day after tomorrow, I'll help you make a good peachwood sword, and then open it yourself, tomorrow is not enough time for a day." ”

When he said this, Yun Zhiyao had to compromise: "Then thank you Abbot." ”

Everyone talked for a while, and it was already the second half of the night.

After Yun Zhiyao said goodbye to everyone, he left the hall with Chen Lichuan.

The room for two people is arranged without dust, it is two rooms on the left side of the main hall, and when they arrived outside the door, Chen Lichuan said: "Senior sister, I'm a little tired, so I'll sleep first, remember to call me if you have something." ”

After walking for several hours on the mountain road and drinking some wine just now, Chen Wangchuan couldn't support it for a long time.

Yun Zhiyao nodded: "Okay, you go to sleep." ”

Chen Lichuan went directly into his room.

Yun Zhiyao stood still and did not move.

At this time, a full moon hung in the sky, illuminating the entire Taoist temple as bright as day, and the surroundings were silent.

She recalled that when she had just come to the Taoist temple, she couldn't sleep every night, so Master came to talk to her......

Master is usually silent, but when he gets along in private, he talks a lot.

At that time, Yun Zhiyao felt that Master was the closest person in the world......

But I never thought that five years ago, a farewell would be a farewell.

If she had known this, she should have come over to see Master's ......

There was a sound of footsteps coming from far and near, and a little Taoist priest who was on the watch came to Yun Zhiyao's side: "You are Uncle Yun Zhiyao." ”

There were no women in the Taoist temple, so although the little Taoist priest didn't know Yun Zhiyao, he still guessed at once that she was the female guest who went up the mountain today.

Yun Zhiyao nodded: "I haven't seen you before, haven't you been here for a long time?" ”

The little Taoist priest replied: "It's just been a little more than a year, why doesn't Uncle Shi sleep so late?" ”

Yun Zhiyao wanted to answer, she was about to go to sleep, but after thinking about it, she changed her mind: "I just remembered Master...... I don't know where Master's grave is, and I want to go and see his old man's home. ”

The little Taoist priest hesitated for a moment, and pointed in the direction of the back mountain: "Just under the thousand-year-old tree in the back mountain, the abbot said that the feng shui there is good, and the master can rest in peace there." ”

Yun Zhiyao nodded: "Then I'll go over and take a look." ”

The little Taoist priest suddenly turned white: "Uncle can't ......"

Yun Zhiyao was stunned for a moment: "Why can't it?" ”

Under the moonlight, the little Taoist's face was full of panic: "It's not appropriate to go to the cemetery at night, and there are many poisonous insects and beasts on the mountain, if something happens, it's not good." ”

The little Taoist's reaction made Yun Zhiyao suspicious: "Our Wudang Mountain Wudang Temple is a land of gods, how can there be any accidents?" And as far as I know, there are no beasts in the mountains......"

The little Taoist priest saw that she seemed to insist on going, looked around, and then approached her a little, and his voice was low: "We who patrol every day know that every night, there will be strange sounds in the back mountain, and ghosts will appear, so Uncle Shi, you must not go over." ”

Yun Zhiyao frowned: "When did it start, how many people know about it?" ”
