Chapter 16 Taoist Studies
Ah Xue and Cha Cha tossed all morning, picking out clothes and tidying up makeup, and arrived at the foot of the mountain at almost noon, just like the day they first met.
Only this time there were no heavy trolley cases, and there were no messy camera lenses, the two of them walked briskly, and they went up to the halfway point of the mountain in one breath, and even the rhythm of breathing did not change much.
The mountain forest has fresh air and unique scenery, which is a good place to raise people. However, Cha Cha has long been out of the original city life of 996 in the world, and she and A Xue have been walking through the mountains and forests for a month and a half, flowers, birds, fish and insects, mountains, rocks and trees, all of which are accustomed to it. Occasionally, I saw some exotic plants, so I stopped to take two photos.
"I'm in good shape today." Cha Cha said.
"We're still halfway there." Ah Xue chuckled, "In case there are people living in the temple, how do you shoot?" ”
"I can underestimate me, but I can't underestimate my machine." Cha Cha grinned, "My camera is super forgiving, even if it's so dark that I can't see my fingers, I can pull it back." With 14 shots a second, I can shoot a stack of emojis. ”
"So, are we going to shoot the night scene?" Xue asked.
"That's right." Cha Cha seconded, "During the day, Ah Xue, you have to fool those Taoist elders by yourself." In my heart, I silently prayed that there was no one in the Taoist temple. A camera is much more expensive than a monocular, and if you accidentally throw it down, Cha Cha doesn't dare to think about it. Carefully check the strap of the camera and see no signs of loosening, so I can continue to walk forward with peace of mind.
The elevation of this mountain is not high, and it stands alone on the ground, and it is a real lonely mountain.
Without hovering up and down, it only took the two men three hours to reach the top of the mountain.
Looking down through the leafy foliage, the castle at the bottom of the mountain becomes smaller, and you can see it in its entirety at a glance. The simple city walls, the simple bricks and tiles, the simple pavilions, ordinary people live in them. What is not ordinary is that this city has two cities to be precise, and the two cities are connected and each other is yin and yang.
Cha Cha could almost determine where they were. And she also remembered this place, there were really meteorites falling.
Perhaps wherever the star chariot landed, there would be a big fireball. Thinking of this, Cha Cha suddenly became excited. If dimensional travel meant going back in time, through the historical trail of meteorites falling on Earth, they could find all the places they could reach. As long as they understand the mechanics of dimensional travel, they can even get infinitely close to the original world.
The cold electronic sound of the sand sculpture suddenly came out of his mind, and Cha Cha felt that this assumption was too casual.
At that time, Nicholas Zhao Sier's rhetoric seemed to be as simple as simply going back to the past. Cha Cha frowned slightly, sure enough, there were too few planes to cross, the conditions were insufficient, and the space for fantasy was too large. Maybe the next trip to the plane could easily overturn her current assumptions.
Two cities, one yin and one yang, faintly imply the avenue of heaven and earth. Cha Cha tilted her head and said with a wry smile: "It's still possible to meet idols as a result." ”
"Is that so?" Ah Xue was puzzled, "Seeing that your face is so ugly, I thought something terrible would happen." ”
"It's scary to see idols." Cha Cha's expression became very painful, "I'm afraid that I can't help but say something strange and change history." ”
"Then we won't go down." Ah Xue said as a matter of course. Although I don't understand it, Cha Cha said that it must be a very terrible thing.
"Don't." Cha Cha immediately retorted, "My pearls haven't been sold yet." ”
"Then sell the pearls first." Ah Xue opened her mouth and came.
"Let's shoot a feature film first." Chacha adjusts the focus, and the click is one. The two cities, yin and yang, are connected.
A path zigzags to the Taoist temple, both sides are planted with medicinal herbs, and the air is filled with a refreshing fragrance. Some are ordinary, some are slightly precious, and more are unnamed. Obviously, this Taoist temple has an owner. Cha Cha motioned for Ah Xue to walk ahead.
As soon as he took two steps, he heard the muffled sound of the piano. It is subtle and long, as if the heavens and men whispered.
The two of them unconsciously lightened their steps. With the ups and downs of the piano, the mood becomes unusually stable.
The ethereal sound of the piano hit the heartstrings, those trivial troubles disappeared, and the whole heart became ethereal and clear.
As if there was a magic force, Cha Cha pushed open the door of the hall, and a middle-aged man sat in the courtyard, with a wide robe in green clothes, a long beard and beautiful hair, and plucked the strings with his hands. His robes were a little old, but they were clean and elegant, and they were spotless. The ancient trees beside him were towering, and the long wind caressed them, and a few leaves swirled and fell to the ground. The man seemed to be unaware, blending in with the shadows of the mountain wind and trees, his sleeves moving with the wind, and his eyes slightly closed, like a fairy.
Tea and tea click is a sheet. Ah Xue came in from behind and pulled Cha Cha's sleeve.
After the Taoist finished stroking a song, he looked at Cha Cha: "The two of you want to be incense?" His eyes were as calm as water, and the big camera in front of Cha Cha didn't seem to see it.
"Yes." Cha Cha said casually.
"Those two are rare guests." The Taoist chief's hand lightly pressed on the guqin, "There have been no guests in the temple for a long time. ”
"But excuse me?" Ah Xue's voice was very small, I don't know why, I was actually a little nervous in my heart.
"Not really." The Taoist chief's tone was soft, and he had the power to calm his mind, "It's just that it's not early, so I have to wait for my junior brother to come back and arrange a place for the two of you." ”
"It's a long trouble." Xue said.
"There is a clear spring in the apse for the two of you to quench your thirst."
"Well, thank you."
The Taoist chief didn't mean to get up, Cha Cha tiptoed to follow Ah Xue in and out of the palace gate, listening to Ah Xue's explanations one by one.
The Taoist temple is not big, the front hall and the mountain gate are one, the main hall enshrines the old man of the birthday star, the apse is the Sanqing Palace, the Yuqing Yuan Shi Tianzun, the Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, the Taiqing Daode Tianzun, the majestic and majestic, solemn and solemn. There is a spring on the left side of the corridor connecting the main hall with the apse, and the spring water is bubbling and from time to time a series of bubbles rise, crystal clear, like pearls.
Cha Cha didn't dare to take pictures with the camera, as a former member of 404, he should be a staunch materialist, but under this mysterious atmosphere, there was a little awe in his heart, for fear that he would accidentally alarm the gods. The sound of the empty and loose piano came from the front hall, and Cha Cha boldly turned on the camera recording function to the Taoist chief.
Xue also came out of the apse and found a place to sit down. Listen to the Taoist sermon stroking the harp. Dao Changqin's skills are superb, and the overtones are like heavenly sounds, and there is a feeling of coldness and immortality. The sound of the piano was intermittent, and Ah Xue was immersed in it, gradually forgetting the time.
The afterglow of the setting sun disappeared on the horizon, and Cha Cha's stomach growled. Her camera had long since run out of battery, and she carefully put it into the package. Counting the stars in the sky, his eyelids sank unconsciously.
The heart of the dragon rose to the sky, and the junior disciple of the Taoist came back from the bottom of the mountain. According to the instructions of the Taoist chief, the two of them were settled in the side hall.
It turned out that the Taoist chief was born blind and couldn't see since he was a child, so he has always been in and out of the mountain to take care of his daily life. Ah Xue followed him to cook on the fire, while asking about the Taoist chief.
After dinner, Cha Cha seemed to have lifted the seal, fled back to the side hall with a smoke, and fell asleep with a pillow.
When she opened her eyes again, there was a feeling that the world was spinning. She heard the sound of the harp again, and it was very mixed and not very pleasant. got up and went out, and caught a glimpse of Ah Xue sitting cross-legged in the courtyard and plucking the strings, while the Taoist chief was actually pointing out with kind eyes. It turns out that sleeping can really be crossed.
Cha Cha was bored and went to find the junior brother of the Taoist Chief.
The young Taoist was practicing his sword, moving around and handsome. Cha Cha boasted so much that he stared at it for a long time. The Taoist chief told Cha Cha that Ah Xue had not only made incense, but also had even done the apprenticeship ceremony. He said that he was going to live in the Taoist temple for a month. Cha Cha was dumbfounded, I didn't expect Ah Xue to come really, she really wanted to stay in the mountains until Xingcha was full of energy.
For several days in a row, Ah Xue was practicing the piano, forgetting to sleep and eating, and she didn't care about her companions at all.
Cha Cha instigated the little Taoist to go down the mountain with her to sell pearls. I don't want to fool the chief with first-class ability, so I sold all the pearls in half a day, and there were not even those crappy defective products left. Cha Cha admired it so much that he paid half of the living expenses on the spot. Xiaodao Chang was not polite, accepted them all, and handed Cha Cha an immortal talisman casually.
Who knew that early the next morning, the little Taoist chief woke up Cha Cha from his sleep and pulled her to practice swords together.
Xiaodao Chang regarded Chacha's living expenses as tuition, thinking that Chacha paid the money just to learn the sword. After all, in his opinion, Cha Cha was not in very good health, and he showed extremely strong interest when he practiced swords. Ah Xue has a senior brother to teach, and she has to have an apprentice to be reasonable.
Where can Chacha stand it, I drove the ducks to the shelves and studied for two days, so I took Xingcha to hide down the mountain.
The mountains and forests independently developed wireless receiving equipment, and under the guidance of sand sculptures, they really made it.
The main material of the communicator is her deformable shoes, a small part of which is dismantled and recoded. This material can be encoded for many functions, but editing the communicator is much more complex.
The communicator is shaped by two elongated earrings that, once worn, connect with the sand sculpture like two small terminals. The earrings have an inconspicuous dark green button, which can be used for different functions depending on how they are pressed. For example, if you press and hold lightly, you can make the sand sculpture start collecting words, and if you press it twice, the earrings can talk to each other.
Cha Cha took the earrings to find Ah Xue's experimental results, but unfortunately was caught by the Taoist chief and was forced to practice all afternoon.
The coach who "looked" by himself cried and had to finish the practice. The lactic acid in the body is accumulating more and more, and the legs are in terrible pain, and there is a vibration from the bottom of the mountain, and Cha Cha is unaware. While the little Taoist went to discuss with his senior brother, he fled to the pine forest halfway up the mountain.
Her hands and feet were sore, and Cha Cha lay on the bed with the safe, constantly trying the remaining passwords. The vibration outside became more and more intense, and Cha Cha only thought that her legs and feet were twitching. The mind deletes the previous failed number combinations one after another. After 40,000 fiddling attempts, the door to the safe finally opened.
There is no shrunken means of transport. Lying in the safe was a strange pen.
