Eighteen rock formations stand steeply, and flying springs are like pouring out.

Bai Ling helped Qu Wei and carefully descended along the Shibi Valley, with Wei Zeqi following closely behind, maintaining a distance that could hold them with his hand.

Because it is also half of the open scenic area, some travelers walk and stop with trekking poles and enjoy the beautiful scenery of this deep mountain on the road between the cliffs.

Gaofu Songhai, the stone dock is rugged.

If you look up, the mountains and mountains of Mount Tai towering into the clouds, rising unpredictable mist, the sea of clouds and blue waves, light yarn far away.

"It's beautiful." Qu Wei couldn't help but sigh.

"It's beautiful." Bai Ling nodded in agreement.

"It would be nice if I could come here to retire in the future." Qu Wei said hopefully, "The air is so good, you will definitely be able to live a long life." ”

Bai Ling couldn't help but hit her, "What's the use of good air?" In the deep mountains and old forests, there is no network, no electricity, and no transportation, do you just drink mountain spring water and eat wild vegetables every day to survive? I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for a day. ”

Qu Wei couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Please, can you not break my beautiful illusion?" ”

"Are you fantasizing? It's clearly delusional. ”

"Can I interrupt ......" Just as Qu Wei was about to argue, Wei Zeqi said coldly, "Which shrine are we going to?" ”

After being quiet for two seconds, Qu Wei replied softly, "Empress Temple." ”

Bai Ling stopped and turned to look at her, "Where?" ”

"The Empress's Temple." Qu Wei stopped puzzled, "What's wrong?" ”

"Nope." Bai Ling smiled, her smile mixed with a bit of complexity, "I just don't think this name is very good." She secretly thought to herself, she knew that she was going to that place, and she would not be this good old man if she was killed.

"Is it unpleasant?" Qu Wei said, "Empress, how domineering and nice this name is." ”

"The Female Emperor's Temple, formerly known as the Female Disciple's Temple, is dedicated to a local god." Wei Zeqi said, "A hundred years ago there was a earth movement in Mount Tai, almost all the temples were destroyed, but the ancestral temple at the foot of the North Mountain was unharmed, only the plaque was cracked, the locals believed that it was the manifestation of the gods, so the ancestral temple was protected, and thought that the gods they worshipped did not like the name of 'female brother', so it was renamed 'female emperor's temple'. ”

"Wow, you know so much." Qu Wei looked at him with starry eyes that were both adoring and extremely restrained.

The boy coughed lightly, "These are all introduced in the ancestral court." ”

The ancestral garden is a courtyard they visited before going up the mountain, and the stone tablets in it not only engrave the historical background of Mount Tai, but also record all kinds of strange folklore.

It's just that the travelers who go to Mount Tai to play, the top of the extreme mountain is often the final destination, and few people pay attention to it, and the Empress Temple at the foot of the North Mountain has a very long history in the local area.

"Well, I didn't pay attention." Qu Wei said reservedly, "I found this ancestral temple from the Internet. ”

"What else did you find?" Wei Zeqi paused, "As far as I know, the Empress Temple, except for the fact that it is only dedicated to the Empress as a god, is no different from other palaces and temples, and there is no special saying that it is effective. ”

"Yes." Qu Wei said softly, "You can observe the spirit there." ”

"Gazing for the Spirit?" Wei Zeqi showed a look of surprise, "Do you still believe this?" ”

The so-called contemplation of the soul is a kind of folk magic, in which a skilled mage guides the person to go down to the underworld in person to understand his fate or communicate with his deceased relatives in an out-of-body way.

Bai Ling was also slightly surprised, "What are you doing watching the spirit?" ”

Qu Wei's eyes flashed slightly, avoiding eye contact with them, and she replied after a moment, "I have my reasons. ”

Her voice was soft and low, with a little depression and loss, Bai Ling suddenly remembered that two weeks before the college entrance examination, Qu Wei's father died of a heart attack, I don't know if her insistence on going to the Empress's Temple to watch the spirit is related to this incident.

Wei Zeqi asked, "There is also a place for the Great Dao Temple on the mountain, why do you have to go to the Empress's Temple?" ”

"I have checked the information, and there is a royal Taoist in the Empress Temple, who is particularly famous, and people who have watched the spirit there say that it is very effective."

"You don't really believe that, do you?" Wei Zeqi glanced at her strangely, "To put it bluntly, contemplating the spirit is a kind of deep hypnosis, which is superstition. ”

Qu Wei lowered her head, "Well, I know." ”

The sun gradually slopes to the west, the steep winding road gradually widens, flat, looking along the stone wall valley, the hanging boulder in the distance is faintly engraved with a few red characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing.

Guiyuan Town.

"Qu Wei." Seeing those three red letters, Bai Ling held her hand slightly, "I heard that Guanling thing has a long life, and it's not safe." ”

Qu Wei was stunned for a moment, but asked happily, "So you also believe that the spirit is real?" ”

Her eyes were amazingly bright, Bai Ling was dumbfounded, but the boy behind her splashed cold water lightly, "It's just a mystery, it's definitely not true." ”

The light dimmed a lot all of a sudden, and Qu Wei couldn't help muttering, "Can you not be so disappointing......"

As he spoke, the Empress's Shrine was already close in front of him.

Between the clouds and the clouds, a bronze temple with a mountain-like top rises from the ground, and the golden light is brilliant under the sunset, which is magnificent. The ancestral temple is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the green shade is vast, a stone carving shadow wall is horizontal in front of the temple gate, the wall is carved with lifelike flowers, and the origin of this empress shrine.

Bypassing the shadow wall is the main entrance of the ancestral temple.

The simple tile roof of the roll shed type is clean and cold.

Bailing didn't move, "You guys go in, I'll wait outside." ”

"Huh?" Feeling her let go of her hand, Qu Wei was puzzled, "Why?" ”

Bai Ling smiled, "I don't really like places like temples. ”

"I see." Qu Wei said, "You don't even want to go into the Jade Emperor Temple. Then he suddenly realized something, and secretly glanced at Wei Zeqi, but was caught by the other party's gaze.

Pulling her eyes away in a panic, Qu Wei blushed involuntarily, but she grabbed Bai Ling's hand and didn't let go, "No, you have to accompany me in this time!" ”

"Mercy, mercy."

At that moment, a kind voice rang out. Hearing the prestige, I saw a young Taoist priest wearing a sea blue wide-sleeved Taoist robe standing at the gate of the temple, bowing to them, "Is it Qu Shanxin?" ”

"It's me, it's me." Qu Wei hurriedly saluted him, "Little master, is Wang Dao Chang here?" I called last night to make an appointment. ”

"Yes, Daoist Wang asked me to take you to the Shan Hall."

Qu Wei couldn't hide her excitement and squeezed her eyebrows at Bai Ling, "Hurry up, let's do it together." Then without saying a word, he pulled her through the door.

Bai Ling originally wanted to struggle, but when she caught a glimpse of the special gossip pattern on the little Taoist's chest, she didn't insist after all, and followed her into the door half-pushing.

Crossing the high threshold, the bluestone is the road, and the quiet outer courtyard is planted with all kinds of lilies, bursts of fragrance are fragrant, and the Zen is far-reaching.

The little Taoist priest took them straight to the Shan Hall.

Bai Ling took Qu Wei's hand and confirmed repeatedly, "Have you really thought about it?" ”

"Hmm." Qu Wei nodded without hesitation, "It won't be too long, you just wait for me outside." Then he took a deep breath and solemnly stepped into the good hall.
