"By the way, Shifang, didn't you go to Guanzhong with Yan Daxia? Yan Daxia didn't come back together? ”

Gu Ming asked Shifang.

Shifang shook his head: "No, Yan Daoyou hasn't been back to Guanzhong for a long time, and he wants to visit some old friends, and the little monk has been playing for a while, and then he is ready to go back......"

"Hmph, monks don't speak!"

At this moment, a cold snort came.

Shi Fang immediately looked embarrassed, and said: "Amitabha, sins and sins, in fact, it was the master and his old man who notified the little monk to come back. ”

Gu Ming was secretly amused, and turned sideways to give a salute to Master Baiyun: "I've seen Master." ”

"Amitabha, I heard that my lord entered Beijing this time to take the exam and won the three yuan, and he was appreciated by the emperor, which is really gratifying!"

"Thank you, Master......"

While speaking, Gu Ming subconsciously raised his eyes and glanced into the depths of the Black Mountain and said, "By the way, Master, I feel that the Yin Qi of Black Mountain is not as strong as before, could it be that the Master has done the Fa?" ”

"That's not true, it must be the reason for the new construction of this temple, plus Lao Qu and Shifang are cultivating here, more or less able to suppress some evil spirits."

Hearing this, Gu Ming was overjoyed, and saluted: "Thank you so much, master!" ”

"Adults don't have to be polite...... Speaking of which, you and Lord Nie supported the rebuilding of Lanruo Temple, as a disciple of Buddhism, it should be Lao Wei who thanked the two adults. ”

"Okay, Master, you and Gu Gongzi don't have to thank you for coming over and thanking you, thank you endlessly......"

As soon as he heard this, Master Baiyun was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and said angrily: "Stop, if you talk nonsense, the teacher will punish you for copying the Diamond Sutra ten times." ”

"Uh......"

Shifang blinked, and pretended to glance at the main hall: "Master, do you think we should find a craftsman to mold the Buddha statue first?" ”

"What kind of Buddha statue? The main hall hasn't reached the top yet! ”

"Well, the disciple just said that casually...... Ah, Gu Gongzi, don't stand, take a walk, go sit in the house, and the little monk will make you a bowl of tea. ”

Gu Ming smiled and nodded.

This is really interesting for master and apprentice.

However, with the two of them here, Gu Ming was indeed a lot more relieved.

Master Baiyun's strength is unfathomable, and he has already cultivated the incorruptible body of King Kong, and he is probably a few points stronger than Yan Chixia.

As for Shifang, although he is a little more playful and his strength is not very high at present, this guy has a wisdom root, which is a piece of jade.

If you don't make a sound, it's a blockbuster.

After entering the wing, Shifang ran to make two bowls of tea and put them on the table.

Gu Ming subconsciously looked around, the furnishings in the room were very simple, and he couldn't help but say, "Master, what are you missing here?" Give me the opening list, and I'll have someone send it back. ”

Master Bai Yun smiled and waved his hand: "The kindness of the lord is appreciated, and this is only a temporary stay, and I will wait until the temple is completed."

Moreover, even if there is any need, the previous donors have also donated a lot of silver taels, which is enough. ”

"Okay!" Gu Ming nodded, then took out a wedding note from his body and handed it over: "Master, the juniors will get married on the twentieth of next month, and you and Shifang will be there early!"

Rest assured, the younger generation knows that the monks must abide by the rules, and they will make a special trip to prepare a meal. ”

As he spoke, Gu Ming deliberately glanced at Shifang.

Keeping the rules is also guarded by Master Baiyun alone, and this kid from Shifang will inevitably have to steal a few drinks when the time comes.

Sure enough, a knowing smile appeared at a glance.

"My lord really has a heart, and at that time, the old man will definitely bring the bad guy to the scene to congratulate the adult's wedding."

After chatting a few words, Master Bai Yun couldn't help but say, "Looking at the breath of the adults, I'm afraid that I have gained a lot compared to before entering Beijing?" ”

"Haha, the master is really good eyesight. That's right, there are indeed some gains in Beijing this time, and the realm has improved. ”

"Congratulations!"

Shifang also congratulated happily.

He said: "In this way, I will be more sure to deal with that old demon of Black Mountain in the future." ”

Gu Ming couldn't help but say: "Please pay more attention to this, if there is any change in the old demon, please let me know as soon as possible." ”

"Rest assured, the old man will always pay attention to ......"

……

At noon, Master Bai Yun and Shifang accompanied Gu Ming to the construction site of the temple.

"The little people see the adults!"

"I've seen Master Gu!"

As soon as Gu Ming arrived, many craftsmen stepped forward to salute.

After all, the news of his return to his hometown as an official had already spread, how could these workers not know?

"You don't have to be polite......"

Gu Ming raised his hand with a smile, his eyes subconsciously glanced around.

It seems that the progress is still quite fast, and the main buildings have been erected.

However, the later project is much slower, such as door flowers, window flowers, roof beams, etc., all need to be carved by hand, including the furniture required by the college, which also needs to be handmade.

After that, there are landscaping and the like, if nothing else, the overall completion is afraid that it will take about three years.

However, Gu Ming is not in a hurry, anyway, he is now an official in the capital, and he can't care about coming back to run the academy for a while.

Gotta wait for the right moment.

After the craftsmen greeted each other, they returned to their respective positions to continue their work.

Gu Ming accompanied Master Baiyun and his apprentices to walk slowly around the construction site.

"Master, what do you think of the overall layout? Any good suggestions? ”

"Well, in general, there are no problems......"

Master Baiyun subconsciously looked around, and then pointed to the side in the direction of Black Mountain: "According to the old man's opinion, a hall can be built there to worship the saints of your Confucian faction. ”

"Oh? Does the master mean to say that it is used to suppress the evil of Montenegro? ”

"That's right, even if the old demon of Montenegro is destroyed in the future, but this mountain is contaminated with demonic energy, maybe one day it will breed demonic things."

Gu Ming nodded thoughtfully: "It makes sense, if a temple and a hall stand here, you can suppress this mountain to the greatest extent." ”

Master Bai Yun recited a Buddha horn and said, "That's exactly the truth. ”

"Okay, thank you for the master's order, then I will instruct the foreman to vacate a piece of land first, and then come to erect the hall later."

Subsequently, Master Bai Yun put forward a few small suggestions, which Gu Ming adopted one by one.

It's not that he blindly obeys, but he does think that what Master Bai Yun said makes sense.

Although he also knew some terrain layout now, it was definitely not as good as Master Baiyun's many years of experience in general.

After seeing the construction site, Gu Ming prepared to return to the county seat.

Before leaving, he remembered something again, so he asked Shifang: "By the way, Shifang, can you contact Yan Daxia and Zhiqiu?" ”

"Yan Daxia can be contacted, Zhiqiu...... His whereabouts are uncertain, and it is said that he has been hunting ghosts in the area of Anning County recently. ”

"Anning County? Ghost hunting? ”

As soon as he heard that there was a ghost catch, Gu Ming's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Integral...... No, there is righteousness in heaven and earth!

To say that this Anning County may be a little farther away for ordinary people, more than a hundred miles, and if you go from Guobei County, you must pass through Dakan Peak.

This mountain is relatively steep, the terrain is complex, and there are often all kinds of fierce beasts and poisonous insects.

There are even rumors that there are spirits in the mountains.

Therefore, many people dare to cross the mountain only in groups.

Otherwise, it would be more than a hundred miles from the other direction, avoiding the Great Kan Peak, and would rather walk for two more days than take an adventure.

But for Gu Ming, what is there to be afraid of beasts and poisonous insects? 12345

Weird...... Of sending experience.

So, Gu Ming decided to go to Anning County in person.

"In this way, Shifang, you can help me inform Yan Daxia and tell him to come to the wedding if he is free, and I will find Zhiqiu myself."

"It's a trivial matter, wrapped up in the little monk!"

Shifang patted his chest and swore an oath.

"Well, thank you so much, Master Baiyun, the juniors will say goodbye first!"

……

In the evening, Gu Ming left the county seat slowly.

Everyone else is in a hurry during the day, and they hurry to find a place to close their shop in the evening, after all, when it gets dark, the devil knows what will appear on the road......

Gu Ming likes to come the other way around, and only goes out of the city in the evening.

At first, you can occasionally encounter pedestrians in a hurry, but as soon as it gets dark, you can only see the shadows of the mountains.

At this time, Gu Ming began to speed up.

At about midnight, we entered the range of Dakan Peak.

In fact, the scenery of Dakan Peak is quite beautiful, there are many dangerous peaks in the mountains, there are many towering trees, and there are large bamboo forests.

The valleys are crisscrossed by streams.

This environment is very suitable for travelers to come to explore and camp, and can have a close contact with blind bears, wolves, wild boars, poisonous snakes, centipedes, scorpions and so on in the mountains.

If you're lucky, you might be able to dig up a few top-notch orchids, or rare herbs.

Although the terrain here is very complicated, there are also well-wishers who have made some road signs along the way, and there are straw huts every few miles to facilitate passers-by to shelter from the rain or something.

After entering the mountain, Gu Ming slowed down again to see if there were any spirits or anything like that on this mountain.

If it's a harmful spirit, there's nothing to say......

After walking for about half an hour, suddenly, there was a faint light above the hillside ahead.

Gu Ming subconsciously followed the bright light up the hill, and when he looked at it, he found that there was a small valley below.

And in the valley, there is a Taoist temple?

Of course, it is not surprising that there are temples and temples in the deep mountains, after all, some temples and Taoist temples like to be built in uninhabited places in the deep mountains, which is convenient for Qing cultivation.

But this road looks a little nondescript, it looks like a Taoist temple at a glance, and it looks like a combination of a temple, a temple, and a private house when you look closely.

The important thing is that the lights inside are bright, and there is a faint burst of laughter......

It's kind of interesting!

Gu Ming didn't hesitate at all, and strode down the slope towards the building that seemed to be unobserving.

As I got closer, I could hear the movement inside more clearly.

It sounds like there are a lot of people, and there are probably no less than a dozen men and women.

The door was wide open, and two large red lanterns hung from the door.

Gu Ming walked in slowly.

Inside was a courtyard, and the courtyard was empty.

However, there was a large room in front of him, which was brightly lit, and two women could be seen dancing in the courtyard.

"Yo, there's another guest!"

"Still a showman......"

As soon as Gu Ming entered the door, two delicate voices came from his ears.

On this trip, Gu Ming changed into his previous clothes and looked like a showman.

Looking around, there were a total of four men in the room, and when they looked at the outfits, they were not ordinary people, but people from the rivers and lakes.

In addition, there are seven bewitching women, ranging from their teens to their thirties, all dressed in thin gauze skirts and barefoot, some dancing, some snuggling up to the men to drink and flirt.

This scene is indeed very attractive to men.

There was a smell of fat powder and a faint smoke in the room......

When the four men saw that a compatriot had come in, they smiled knowingly.

One of them pulled his throat and said, "This little brother, what are you still doing stupidly?" Why don't you enjoy the wine and the beauty in time? ”

"That...... Did Xiaosheng go to the wrong place? ”

Gu Ming said pretendically.

"Hee-hee, it's not wrong, it's not wrong......"

A woman in her twenties stepped forward and grabbed Gu Ming's sleeve and walked to the side to let him sit down.

"Let's have a place here, called Beauty Village, which specializes in receiving lost guests."

Receiving a lost guest?

I'm afraid it's just a deliberate lure of people.

Gu Ming said quietly: "But...... Xiaosheng has no money. ”

"Hehe, official, we don't need to spend silver here, but we will give you silver."

After speaking, a silver ingot really appeared in the woman's hand, and she handed it to Gu Ming with a smile.

"This ...... Reactive power is not ......"

As soon as Gu Ming said this, a burst of men's laughter and women's coquettish laughter immediately erupted in the room.

"These people who read are sour."

"Official, take it quickly, don't mess with the slave family."

The woman couldn't help but say, stuffing the silver into Gu Ming's arms.

The hand was stuffed in but not taken out, and deliberately stopped on Gu Ming's body......

"Official, will you let the slave family be your bride tonight?"

The woman grinned.

"This ......"

Gu Ming swallowed his saliva, his eyes began to wander, and he seemed to be a little tempted.

After all, in such an environment, in such an atmosphere, how many men can keep their minds?

"Hmph, why do you monopolize the official, and people have to accompany this official......"

Unexpectedly, at this time, another woman came over, sat beside Gu Ming gently, lifted her bare feet and put them on Gu Ming, and at the same time picked up the wine jug and poured a glass of wine and handed it to Gu Ming.

"Official, let the slave family accompany you for a drink......"

"Thank you, little lady."

Gu Ming seemed to let go, and happily took the wine glass and drank it all.

The other woman was jealous, and also poured a glass of wine, so she had to drink a glass of wine with Gu Ming......

She drank it, and the other one was going to drink it too.

The two daughters began to be jealous and competed with each other to drink with Gu Ming.

I don't know how many glasses I drank, Gu Ming seemed to be overwhelmed by the wine, stroked his forehead and said: "Two little ladies, Xiaosheng can't drink anymore, and if you drink Xiaosheng again, you will be drunk." ”

"Really, I can't drink it."

"Official, how about a few more drinks with others......"

A big man sitting on the side couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, little lady, he is just a weak scholar, he still comes to drink with the uncle, the uncle can't pour a thousand cups!" ”

"Yo, is this master really so powerful? Then let the slave family see and understand. ”

"Hahaha, uncle, I have more powerful, little lady, do you want to see it together?"

The next words are a bit difficult to listen to......
