Chapter 195: Desert Inn (2)
The reason why Hou Yiying said this is that in the past few days of stunt training for Xiong Jiandong, he found that his progress far exceeded his expectations; Second, in today's CCTV morning news, she saw a piece of news that impressed her with Xiong Jiandong's analysis and judgment.
Television said reporters had reported a few months earlier on a British beach in which seagulls were fighting for food from tourists. Some tourists suspected that it was a terrorist attack at the time.
A few months have passed, and after tracking and analysis by British intelligence agencies, it has been confirmed that these seagulls have been specially trained by ****, with the purpose of using a virus carried by seagulls to launch a biological and chemical weapon attack on humans. Fortunately, this virus is not as expected and can be eliminated with only general antibiotics.
As for the trained seagulls, they have all been hunted down by the local police in the UK.
This time, He Kuishan, Hou Yiying, and Xiong Jiandong, according to the deployment of the Huangying Action Group, went to the North Kunlun Snow Mountain area in southern Xinjiang, just to pass through a desert inn there and deal with a case about terrorist activities.
They opted for a night flight.
At the airport, a Uyghur boy named Tiziguli met with He Kuishan. He claimed that he was the guide found by the three mountaineering tourists.
Tizigul was a secret spy previously sent by the national security organs. Discipline only allowed him to know the code name of He Kuishan alone, knowing that He Kuishan was called the old gun.
He drove an old-fashioned pickup truck.
The careful Hou Yiying noticed that although the exterior of this car is dilapidated, the interior decoration is very elegant, the ride is very comfortable, and the large-displacement engine with more than 3.0 is obviously modified.
She knew that there was no other explanation for this than to hide it.
After more than five hours of trekking overnight, Tiziguli pulled the three of them to a Taoist temple in the mountains. This Taoist temple is located in the Queen Mother Pool of Kunlun Snow Mountain, which is more than 4,000 meters above sea level.
Two middle-aged Taoist priests welcomed them in. Tiziguli said he had booked four rooms at the temple two days earlier.
It belongs to the hinterland of the Kalakoram Mountains, not far from the town of Bazaku, which has a large Pula Mosque.
The town of Bazhaku is a few hundred kilometers from Kashgar and borders Pakistan and Afghanistan to the southwest, as well as India and Tajikistan.
More than a dozen kilometers away from the town of Bazaku, there is a vast desert.
The next day, Xiong Jiandong woke up at eight o'clock in the morning and saw that it was still dark outside. It is said that Kunlun Snow Mountain is known as the latest sunrise, and even if it is another hour, the sun may not come out.
Hou Yiying found him and asked if she would like to accompany her to see the morning view of the snowy mountains.
The two left the Taoist temple, and when they climbed a high slope, they saw that the morning fog began to gradually dissipate.
At this time, the heavens and the earth were silent, and the snow-capped mountains were being illuminated layer by layer, revealing a golden splendor. Looking up, the Taoist Temple of the Queen Mother of the West at the foot of the foot is full of clouds and glow, which has the momentum of a fairyland.
Goodbye, in the depths of the poplar forest not far away, there is a faint place, as if there is a agile posture wielding two swords, and two cold lights flash from time to time.
The figure looked light and slender, and it was undoubtedly a woman.
Xiong Jiandong suddenly remembered that a few days ago, on a rainy night by the lake at No. 19 Xishan, Miaoxin Daogu unexpectedly appeared in the jungle. He pondered for a moment, and suddenly groaned aloud:
"Thousands of peaks and streams are dangerous, and the hanging walls and rivers are overwhelming; Yaochi Phantom Dream Shadow, Miao Gu or Du Missing. ”
"Yao Chi...... Miaogu! Hou Yiying was extremely confused, never imagined that Xiong Jiandong would write a poem in an instant, and it seemed to mean something.
"What a five-character poem. You are at the top of the high hill, the poem is affectionate, who does the word 'Miaogu' refer to, isn't it a fairy? She asked.
"Ah, you say it's a fairy, it's a fairy!" Xiong Jiandong was embarrassed for a while, and the answer was not true.
"I said Xiong Jiandong, today is April 1st, April Fool's Day in the West. It shouldn't be that you suddenly thought of a woman you've been in love with for a long time! Hou Yiying teased.
She didn't expect to be condescending, in this empty mountain, the voices of the two of them reached the poplar forest. The sword-wielding man heard it from afar, blushed, put away his two swords, and hurried back to the Taoist temple.
Hou Yiying and Xiong Jiandong returned to the Taoist temple, and He Kuishan and Tizi Guli were waiting for them to have breakfast together.
Folklore, the Queen Mother of the West was the wife of the Jade Emperor and the mother of the Seven Fairies.
However, according to Taoist records, the name of the Queen Mother of the West is actually the Taixu Nine Light Turtle Tai Golden Mother Yuanjun, which is the innate innate Xihua Zhimiao Qi incarnation. In other words, she is condensed by innate yin qi, and the third day of the third lunar month every year is the birthday of the Queen Mother of the West.
The Queen Mother of the West is peerless in appearance, graceful in style, punishes evil and promotes good in the world, and is the leader of all fairies. She lives in the Yao Pond of Kunlun Mountain, where peach trees are planted and produce fruit that can make people immortal.
Every year, the Queen Mother of the West will come to bathe in the snow-capped mountain pool. Over time, there is a Taoist temple where she lives, known as the Taoist Temple of the Queen Mother of Snow Mountain.
Nowadays, in addition to receiving many Taoist priests to come to practice, the Queen Mother Pond Taoist Temple is also a famous tourist attraction in southern Xinjiang, providing accommodation for past explorers, mountaineers and other admiring tourists.
Under normal circumstances, the free breakfast in Taoist temples is very simple, with only gruel, steamed buns and a small plate of pickles.
However, He Kuishan's breakfast added special scones, noodles with Xinjiang flavor, and ice cream called Daoke, and distributed a Tianshan snow lotus soup to each person.
Tiziguli said strangely, he often came to the Queen Mother Pond Taoist Temple, and it was the first time that he could eat such a luxurious meal in the morning. He asked a young Taoist priest why he was so much more abundant than usual today.
The little Taoist priest replied that this was specially instructed by the old master of Ciyi to give special hospitality to a few people. As to why this is so, he can't say.
Tizi Guli heard that Ciyi is the teacher of the Queen Mother Pond Taoist Temple of Kunlun Snow Mountain, and she is strict in her precepts and highly respected. She lives in a simple way, never shows people, and there are only a very few female Taoists from the Quanzhen faction in the view, so she occasionally has the opportunity to preach and give ordination and see the true face.
Taoist priests are divided into two major factions: Quanzhen and Zhengyi.
The disciples of the Quanzhen sect are monks and Taoists, and they cannot get married, but can only eat vegetarian food; Zhengyi Taoist priests can have a home and are allowed to eat meat. Nowadays, most of the Zhengyi faction are non-monks, also known as Huoju Taoists, and only a small number of Taoist priests will become monks.
He Kuishan smiled and asked the little Taoist priest: "Thanks to the favor of the abbot Ciyi, which of us has relatives with her old man, can you please come and see her?" ”
