At noon, the Yuwa Pavilion, which is crowded with people on weekdays, is closed.

Wei Linghao and Huaixu looked at the Jade Doll Pavilion from afar, but they were not surprised by this situation.

"Huaixu, now that this is the case, I told you in the morning that I wanted you to go on a long trip."

Talking about getting closer to Huaixu:

"I went back to Beijing to inquire about the movement of the Rong Canal, and I went to Chongming Temple in Bailu County today to see the abbot who wanted to fall. Tomorrow, we will watch the confluence of the streams and set off at this moment. ”

The two of them each explained a few words and went their separate ways on the spot. In the Guanxi Inn, Gu Chao and the others listened to the story of the pond fish, and they didn't have the heart to eat for a while, so they only used a little hastily. Gu Chao ate a few bites, and suddenly remembered that Cen Li said that he still had things to do after eating, so he asked if he had anything to do later.

"Don't you always want to hang out? Today we will go to Egret County for a day, and then come back tomorrow to Song Mansion. Cen Li said.

Chang Yu suddenly came to the interest, that is Bailu County, I heard that there are good mountains and rivers, tourists are weaving, and it is very close to Qingcheng County.

But in the past, when he went out on a mission, the senior brother was very strict, and he didn't let them run around at all, let alone go out of the city to spend the night. Now you can go to Egret County.

Cen Li sent a mouthful of rice balls into his mouth, ate it slowly, and said to Chang Yu:

"It's said that it's a task, so it's not to play, don't be too wild. And this time, we can only go with the light of our junior sister. ”

"Stain my light?" Gu Chao was puzzled, "What kind of light is mine?" ”

"Before going down the mountain, my father specially told me to find an opportunity to take you to visit the abbot of Chongming Temple in Qingzhang Mountain, he had a friendship with my father in his early years, and he hadn't seen him for many years, so he asked me to visit the old man, and by the way, I introduced you to the abbot."

"Why did you introduce me to the abbot?"

"You are my father's daughter, it is inconvenient for old friends to meet, we must always do our best for them as children."

"Yes, I am experienced now, and I must take Gu Chao with me when I go down the mountain in the future, and good things will happen. Otherwise, you can only get a share of the exhaustion and hard work. "The more hippie smiles he mumbles.

After explaining the itinerary for the future, everyone also accelerated the speed of eating, and planned to set off for Egret County in a carriage immediately. In fact, today's wind is harmonious, no matter what you do, it is always a good thing to be able to travel.

Qingzhang Mountain Chongming Temple

Wei Linghao rode all the way from Qingcheng County, and when he arrived in Bailu County, he couldn't take a break, thinking that he would return to Guanxi on time tomorrow, and he couldn't waste any time, so he went directly to Qingzhang Mountain.

Bumpy all the way to the temple gate, but the temple gate has already been opened, as if he knew that he was going to come to welcome distant guests.

He dismounted, and walked all the way to the main temple. Looking at the past from afar, the person kneeling in front of the solemn Buddha was reverently chanting, but suddenly turned around. From a distance, it was one of the Dharma protector disciples beside the abbot, Mo Chai.

When Mo guessed that Wei Linghao was about to approach, he suddenly got up, walked out of the main hall with the wooden fish, and greeted him. First of all, he made a deep move:

"Master is waiting in the inner meditation room."

Wei Lingmiao's face changed slightly, but he was already used to this old man's style. I went straight to the meditation room.

Along the path all the way in, I heard the sound of wooden fish from afar, walked to the door and knocked three times before pushing the door in.

Seeing him come in, he stopped his movements. Putting his hand into his sleeve, he looked at Wei Lingmao.

"Why, I suddenly thought that Lao Qu came from this poor country."

Wei Lingmiao bowed and sat down.

"Nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Hall. Naturally, there is something to come to the abbot today. ”

"This is the first time you've come to ask the old man for help, what's the matter, you're in trouble?"

"If there is really trouble, how can I lead the trouble to the abbot, but I recently secretly checked some things in Qingcheng County, but I am not familiar with the place, so I want to borrow some people from the abbot."

"What's the matter, you have taken a fancy to my disciple of the Martial Temple?"

"The abbot's Chongming Temple, the Confucian Temple has constant believers, the incense is continuous, the martial arts of the martial temple are strict, and the disciples are superb in martial arts, I do have the intention to invite a few people over."

"You know my rules, my martial temple disciple, you never care about the idle things in this world."

"Of course I know this, but I've also heard that the disciples of the abbot Takeji often go to Egret County to help the people in need, so I ......."

"That's what they should do in their lives, but this thing in front of you, I'm afraid it's not a momentary thing, and it's not what my disciple's life should have."

"Could the abbot have figured out the ins and outs of this matter? Could it be that this is extremely dangerous? ”

I want to touch my beard and smile:

"Haha, the old man is not so godly, he can't know everything in the world, but this time you will encounter the catastrophe of fate, but the blame will be on others."

"My doom? But the Lord is the culprit of others? Can the abbot elaborate on that? ”

"It's not that the old man doesn't want to reveal it, it's just that this heavenly opportunity is only half-peeked, the old man only knows very little, if he really knows more, he just wants to talk to you, then God won't let me say it."

Wei Lingmiao thought about it, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Why don't you go to the inner room to rest for a while, there are still distinguished guests here later, if you have a good conversation, it will help you."

"Oh? The abbot rarely sees guests on weekdays, but today he opened the door to greet him, I was already surprised, there were still guests? It's been a lively day. ”

"Ha, otherwise, do you think the old man is waiting for you alone?"

So Wei Linghao retreated into the inner room, and he didn't want to ask the abbot what he meant by 'helping him'. The abbot is not a procrastinator, and the medicine in this gourd will be revealed later.

He sat at the small square table of pear wood, looking at the curling smoke rising from the incense sticks on the table, his heart was a little hazy, and he was very sleepy all the way over, so he gradually squinted and fell asleep.

By the time he opened his eyes again, it was already an hour later. As soon as he woke up, he remembered that there was something important, and it had been an hour, and he didn't understand why the abbot wanted him to stay here, and was about to get up and go out to ask the abbot for an explanation, but he heard movement from the inner and outer meditation rooms.

The sound of the abbot talking to the visitor was very clear, Wei Linghao listened for a while, only to realize that something was wrong, this familiar voice, and what they said to the abbot........

In the meditation room outside, Cen Lizheng greeted the abbot respectfully and politely, and introduced Gu Chao and Changyu to the abbot.

"Both children look good, this girl is ......."

In Gu Chao's eyes, the abbot probably asked if she was Cen Chan's righteous daughter. Only Cen Li knew that the abbot's question was something in his words.

"Yes"

Cen Li replied: "She grew up in our Qingzun Pavilion, and she doesn't remember anything from the past. ”

"Oh, yes, little girl, you don't remember anything about your childhood? Didn't remember a single snippet at all? ”

Gu Chao was dizzy when asked, but he still replied politely:

"Yes Abbot, I only have memories of growing up in Kiyotarukaku."

"What about dreaming? Didn't think about it? ”

"That's right, Abbot, I've never had any dreams about me before I was ten years old, and my childhood memories are completely blank."

If you want to fall, you will turn the Buddha beads in your hand, "I don't remember it, so that you can learn skills in Qingzun Pavilion with peace of mind, and those sent by rich families outside will not be able to learn well." Cen Li, how strong is Gu Chao in your pavilion? ”

Cen Li glanced at Gu Hao with relief

"Senior sister is the best disciple in our pavilion, the ability to do light skills and make bows and crossbows is particularly excellent, and the accuracy of archery is also good, my father once said that my senior sister may have surpassed me in some aspects."

When Gu Chao heard this, his eyes widened in surprise:

"Senior brother, when did Dad say such a thing? Does Dad really think I'm the best? But he never told me that. ”

Chang Yu jokingly took over:

"Master has always been partial to you, it makes no difference whether you say it or not, we all see it in our eyes, every time that look of love for you, we can't help but wonder if this Qingzun Pavilion will be passed on to you in the future."

Gu Chao was anxious when he heard this: "You are talking nonsense!" As he spoke, he turned around again, "Senior brother, I ........ it."

Cen Li saw that Gu Chao was anxious, looked at her eyes, and said seriously:

"Senior sister, don't worry, Qingzun Pavilion is our common home, those are never issues that we think about, and they often tease you."

Looking at this harmonious scene, I want to laugh and say:

"Blessed is this old fellow."

Then he turned his head to Cen Li:

"Tell me, you came this time, except to come to see me on behalf of that old fellow, what else is there to do?"

"The abbot is like a god, and we are here this time to ask the abbot to help us."

"What? Not enough people? Why, so many disciples of your Qingzun Pavilion still come to ask me for someone? ”

"Abbot, I won't tell you, it's not peaceful anywhere recently, we haven't accepted new disciples for a long time, the excellent disciples in the pavilion are still too small, and a few big ones can't make a big climate, now is the time when Qinghuang is not connected, I didn't think about bothering the abbot, but recently there have been more and more things in Qingcheng County. These two are playful, and I'm afraid that if I'm not by their side, something will go wrong. ”

Gu Chao heard the key point and hurriedly asked:

"Not with us? Brother, where are you going? Didn't you say you wanted us to help you, why didn't you follow us yourself? ”

Chang Yu is also anxious:

"Yes, senior brother, I can't control Xiao Xiao'er, don't pick on it!"
