Chapter 78: Human Traffickers?
"Baiyun Temple...."I muttered in my heart, and then said, "Let's go, let's go and see my peers." β
With that, the two of us held hands and walked to the top of the mountain.
As for Lu Yi's opinion on the two of us holding hands and walking together, there is nothing, after all, I look anxious Now Sudaiman looks young, and then, between sisters and brothers, what's wrong with holding hands?
"Anyway, since this warlock from the White Cloud Temple is here, why don't you go to them for help?" On the way up the mountain, I asked.
"Alasβ" she sighed, "I looked for him, but he said he couldn't go out of the mountain." β
Can't get out of the mountains? What are the rules?
I whispered, "Is it because you haven't given enough money?" β
"Won't it?" Sudeman hesitated, he knew my family's environment, there should be some difficulties-
I wiped my nose and said proudly: "Maybe it can't be solved, after all, not everyone has the ability to be as big as me, hehe." β
Sudeman didn't speak, which should be regarded as acquiescence.
The scenery of this Yunling Mountain is also beautiful, but the beautiful scenery does not mean that there is a Lingqi, I have felt it along the way, this mountain is indeed just an ordinary mountain, and there is no Lingqi that can be cultivated.
Then the problem now comes, since this is just an ordinary mountain, then the Taoist priests in this Baiyun Temple are either liars or people with sects, and this Baiyun Temple is just a shell.
But the truth of the matter will only be known later.
After walking for a long time, there were more people on the road inexplicably, and they all walked in the same direction, thinking that the place where the Baiyun Temple was located.
"This Baiyunguan's business seems to be good." I asked Sudaiman in a somewhat sour tone, my family's broken Taoist temple can be regarded as magnificent, why don't so many pilgrims come here.
"Oh, after all, this place is a scenic spot, and the reputation of Baiyun Temple is good, so it is understandable that there are more people." Sudeman explained.
I nodded in understanding, and then looked towards the top of the mountain, where a long stone staircase cut through the clouds to the top, and through the slight mist, the Taoist temple in the distance looked ethereal and majestic.
I'm stupid to see below, just this appearance, he deserves his incense.
"How? Jealousy of watching? Sudeman asked me with a smile.
I ordered it like pounding garlic: "I'm stupid." β
Sudeman covered his mouth and chuckled: "You also have this time." β
Holding hands with her, they walked up the stairs together, and asked at the same time: "It stands to reason that our Taoists shouldn't be so ostentatious, why is this Baiyunguan making itself so magnificent, not at all as low-key as the people in the circle." β
I wondered, but if he was a liar, he shouldn't know so much.
"Hey-now in this world, if you don't decorate yourself better, who will notice you, and the smell of wine is afraid of the deep alleys, right?"
This seems to be the reason why the incense of Zangyu Guan is not good, and I quickly nodded in agreement: "Our Taoism is good, the ancestors of the Sanqing Dynasty are all red gray cement, unlike some bald donkeys, saying that the four are empty, but the statues of the gods need to be brushed with gold powder, hypocrisy." β
"Yes, yes, you're right." She looked at me with a smile on her face.
I pursed my lips, ignored her ridicule, and climbed the mountain road together in civilization and harmony.
......
Just as we were about to climb to the White Feather Temple, the conversation between the two middle-aged aunts caught our attention.
"Eh, have you heard? I heard that the daughter of the old Wang family next door is also missing. A dark-skinned aunt said on the side.
The person next to him looked like he was walking with him, and hurriedly echoed: "The daughter of the old Wang family is also missing?" This is the eighth person, right? Are human traffickers so fierce now? β
"Isn't it? Eh, I heard that your daughter is just eighteen this year, right? But you have to take care of her, I heard that this trafficker specializes in picking on little girlsβ" Aunt Hei said.
"Yes, no, I brought so many candles here in the hope of asking for peace, I heard that the gods here are very effective, let's go over and ask for peace........"
Their conversation aroused my curiosity, in this civilized and harmonious society, there will still be such serial trafficking?
I hurriedly stepped forward to ask about the situation.
"Female layman, what did you just hear about? It seems that someone has been serial trafficked? I went over and bowed to the dark-skinned lady.
Because I was used to it in the Taoist temple, except for school, I wore loose Taoist clothes wherever I went, plus the Taoist etiquette I had just deliberated, so when this lady saw that I seemed to be a Taoist priest of this Baiyun Temple, she immediately respected me.
"Hello little real person." My aunt bowed to me first.
I smiled indifferently: "The female layman is not polite, I just listened to your conversation, and I became curious, what was the situation you just said?" β
The eldest lady whispered: "We are more than ten miles away from here in Zhaozhaigou, I heard, recently, there are monsters in our area..."
I frowned and asked, "Youkai?" Didn't you just say it was a human trafficker? β
"Traffickers are all official statements, think about it, the eldest daughters of these families are obviously locked in the house, what traffickers can bypass the locks and take people away quietly, and..."
The eldest lady choked up and continued: "And the girls of these families are all just eighteen years old. β
.....
"Then go and beg for a peace charm to bless you with peace." I felt like I was about the same, so I wanted to change the subject and leave.
But I didn't want that lady to still be a talkative master, so she grabbed me and asked, "Eh, is your Baiyun Temple's peace charm accurate, won't it be a waste of fame, right?" β
"It varies from person to person." I replied with a smile, following the tricks of the old liar.
I didn't listen to the rest of the words, and after giving her another salute, I hurriedly perfunctory, and in their shocked eyes, I took Su Daiman's hand and walked towards Baiyun Temple.
There was also a mother's voice behind him: "Now can the little Taoist priest fall in love at will?" β
"No, that girl is a lot older than him, she should be a brother and sister before she became a monk, right?"
"Probably..."
......
Sudeman and I both heard this, but we both smiled at each other in tacit agreement and didn't pay any more attention.
"I can't see it, you still have this set of crepes." She said.
"That's it." I glanced at her arrogantly: "It's not me who blows, master, I am familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and I can still drop it if I fool people with the whole thing." β
"Blow you." She gave me a seductive look.
In fact, I have been dreaming like a dream until now, whether it is a coincidence or a destiny, like the age difference between me and Sudeman....... Except for licking the rich woman, I really can't think of any other episodes like now.
I believe that she also has this kind of estrangement in her heart, but we all tacitly don't say anything about each other, she is occasionally lively and cute, and I am precocious in my heart, and this is enough.
After walking for two or three minutes again, this magnificent Taoist temple appeared in front of me.
I thought that the Taoist temple in my house was already magnificent enough, but the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain in front of me taught me what it means to be atmospheric.
Yes is the atmosphere, the Baiyun Temple is on the top of this mountain, not to mention the area or the building or something, standing in front of the main hall of the Taoist Temple, looking down from the top, the pedestrians are densely packed, there is the feeling of looking down on all beings, from the bottom of the road steps to the Taoist temple, there is a feeling of pilgrimage.
The building is naturally different and has a lot to say, just the two boys who greet the guests in front of this door, it can only be described in two words, atmospheric.
The business in this temple is also very good, and there are constantly people with incense in it.
Sudeman took my hand: "Let's go, my sister will take you in." β
With that, he pulled me and walked inside.
I just arrived at this door, but I didn't want to be stopped by two Taoist boys.
Sudeman frowned: "What do you mean by this?" There was anger in her tone.
To be reasonable, this mountain is my family's, and you dare to fence me? What a rebellion. Sudeman thought to himself.
After all, temples and Taoist temples, taking a step back, are places to do business, and since they are places to do business, how can there be a reason not to open the door to welcome guests?
The two little Taoist boys hurriedly gave a salute, and they were terrified: "The head of the house has said, if Miss Su is here, you must notify him before you can let you in, please don't blame him." β
I looked at Sudeman and I curiously, "Did you come here like this before?" β
Sudeman was also confused, she looked at me and said, "No, I used to go directly to him, he used to meditate in it all the time." β
My curiosity was suddenly hooked up, this Baiyun Temple, as soon as it came up, it was so funny.
"Then wait and see what happens."
Sudaiman nodded: "Then you can go in and make an announcement." β
The two of them nodded with relief, and hurriedly went in to announce.
I was a little surprised to see this scene, and I asked Sudaiman curiously: "Why do these two people seem to be afraid of you?" β
She smiled, very shyly: "That... In fact, this mountain belongs to my family, and the property rights belong to my family, so strictly speaking.... I'm half the master here. β
I was shocked again, and after inspecting the mountain, I said, "You are not Miss Su, you are Princess Su." β
In the past, I only thought that her family was just a simple big dog, but now I realize that she is a real nobleman.
"Your dad is awesome....", I finally choked out this sentence.
