Extra five: Aoyama enlightenment
"Why did it stop?"
Half-asleep and half-awake, Huang Yin slowly grabbed a pale yellow hat covering her face, squinted, and looked at the driver suspiciously.
This is a highway leading to Shudu, according to the schedule, the next thing is to go there to play, Huang Yin simply hired a car to run a long distance.
It's just that I've been running around these days, and I'm a little tired after all, and I've been napping in the car for a while, but at the moment I'm surprised to find that the car has stopped on the highway.
"It looks like it's a traffic jam." The driver reluctantly turned around and explained.
Traffic? On the high speed? Huang Yin's eyebrows, which were exposed above the sunglasses, were raised.
"Yes, maybe there was an accident ahead."
Huang Yin suddenly became a little unhappy when she heard this, but she didn't say anything, and smiled: "I just happened to be tired of sitting, get out of the car and breathe." ”
As she spoke, she simply pushed the car door open, and the damp mist in front of her came with the wind, blowing her whole body into a lot of energy.
At some point, the area was foggy, and although it was not very thick, it had already affected the view.
Holding on to the car door, Huang Yin looked left and right, and found that the highway was unexpectedly crowded with vehicles, like a long dragon, extending into the depths of the clouds and mist.
It seems that there is no way to pass for a while.
Thinking of this, Huang Yin sighed softly.
Picked up the phone and looked at it, the time has reached the afternoon, the season, if it is in the north, where there will be fog at this time, it has begun to snow, but in the south, the climate is a little different after all.
"Check in, the 135th day of the trip, well, unfortunately, it was blocked on the highway, I don't know when it will be opened to traffic, and the place is ......" Looking up at the vicinity, Huang Yin added to the raised mobile phone lens, "I don't know." ”
After saying this, she took back her mobile phone, didn't do anything, didn't add any noisy BGM, and didn't add any special effects, just uploaded it to the short video platform as it was, and then set the permission to "private", only she can see it, and then click send, and when she saw the check-in video, another one was added, and the deputy director, who had already left his post, suddenly felt much better.
"It's been 135 days......"
Thinking of this number, she suddenly felt a little emotional, handed over her authority, assigned the affairs to those subordinates who were already skilled in business, and then began to ask for leave more frequently, and then finally found a suitable opportunity to completely abandon the affairs of Trisi...... It's something she's been doing over the past year.
Why? Probably because I gradually got tired of those administrative matters, or I lost the "projection", and the slowly standardized spiritual world became more and more boring...... Either that...... She's never had an interest in power.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Trisi, the world was turbulent, and the country was seriously understaffed, so he had no choice but to take this position, but now that everything is in order, it is naturally time to leave.
Well, there is a strange feeling of "brushing off your clothes and hiding your merit and fame".
It's not without selfishness, for example, as she has been busy with the world all year round, her cultivation has gradually fallen behind, and she can't make any progress, she still remembers that four years ago, she also mocked Yang Congxian for falling behind in her cultivation, and then it was finally her turn.
There's no way, there are so many bad things every day, where is that state of mind?
Of course, if these thoughts in her heart were to be said publicly, it would probably leave many cultivators speechless, after all, even after so much delay, in the past few years, she had still risen to the peak of the Sixth Rank Realm, reaching the point that the vast majority of cultivators looked up to, what was there to be dissatisfied with?
"But...... It's more interesting to practice......" Leaning on the side of the car, Huang Yin felt the feeling of the cold wind pouring into her body, and couldn't help but think.
In short, it is the success of professional freedom.
But......
"People have been traveling for three or four months and have walked through so many scenic spots, why can't they find a clue to break through and be promoted?" Thinking of this, Huang Yin couldn't help but feel the urge to grab someone and question him.
Travel breaks through this kind of thing...... It's completely useless!!!
It's just that......
That person, after all, is no longer found.
The mood is low again, the mood, that's it, sometimes high and sometimes low, sometimes sunny and sometimes rainy.
Shaking her head vigorously to shake off those troubles, Huang Yin turned her eyes to the field next to the highway, trying to divert her attention, but at a casual glance, she suddenly sighed softly.
I saw that on the side of the highway, in my sight, I suddenly broke into a green mountain.
The mountain peak stands between the peaks, not outstanding, green as ink, the color seems to be dripping down, at this moment, the mountains are surrounded by clouds and mist, shrouded, quite a quiet beauty.
What really caught her attention was the slightly richer aura on the mountain peak compared to the surroundings.
Similar situations are not very rare, the aura will always gather somewhere from time to time, maybe it will disperse again after a while.
However, probably because the mountain peak was very much in line with his aesthetics, or because it was really untemperamental to sit and wait, Huang Yin suddenly had an urge to explore.
Immediately, she reached out and knocked on the window, pointed to the green mountain in the driver's puzzled gaze, and asked, "What is this mountain called?" ”
The driver was stunned, first shook his head, and then looked down at the navigation: "I don't know, it's probably just a nameless mountain." ”
"I'll take a look, and if I don't come back before the opening, then you can go by yourself." Huang Yin said lightly.
"This ......"
The driver was suddenly entangled, it was not a matter of money, the fare had already been paid, but it was not very safe to throw a "beautiful woman" off the highway......
However, in the next second, he only had time to let out an exclamation, only to see the girl who didn't know the origin, dressed as a traveler, squatted down slightly, and then jumped forward, and the figure turned into a phantom and disappeared under the high-speed guardrail!
……
……
Jumping off the highway and through the field, when Huang Yin stopped running, he was already standing at the foot of the green mountain.
With some psychic tricks, she found the way up the mountain.
There are two roads, one is wide and circling, probably for cars, and the other is rugged and quiet, so it is natural for people to walk.
There is no doubt that she chose the latter.
……
The green mountains are extremely secluded, far away from the world, and there are not many traces of development, so they still retain that beauty.
The clouds and mist were thick, the humidity was heavy, and as she walked, the clothes and hair on her body became wet, and Huang Yin blinked, and her skin quickly warmed up, drying her clothes.
There was the sound of birdsong and flowing water in the mountains, and the originally impetuous heart suddenly calmed down.
When she walked to the mountainside, Huang Yin suddenly saw a small but beautiful Taoist temple.
The scale of the Taoist temple is not large, the yellow wall and red tiles, in the green pine shade, quite ancient.
With a thought, Huang Yin happily went, I don't know if it was because of time, I didn't see any pilgrims at the door of the Taoist temple, it seemed quite deserted, but it could be seen that someone was maintaining it.
After passing through the gate, there was a huge stone tripod, and there was a faint smell of incense and candles in the air, which was not unpleasant.
The green bricks are paved all over the courtyard courtyard, a few ancient pines stand upright, and there are two stone steles lying on the left and right in front of the door of the main hall, carrying a black stone stele, respectively, the emperors of the Tang and Song dynasties gave the words, as for the truth is not clear, it is always good to look at.
"It's a long way off." While watching, a refreshing voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
Huang Yin turned her head to look, and saw a young man in a Taoist robe holding a broom and walking over slowly.
"Is it open?" Huang Yin asked casually, her mood was much better, for some reason, although this little Taoist priest looked at her eyes, the temperament on her body made her feel very comfortable, and she had a kind of ...... Strange closeness, like a familiar friend.
"Of course." The young Taoist priest smiled and said, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "You want to burn incense?" ”
"Yes," Huang Yin nodded, and then smiled, "There aren't many of you today." ”
To be exact, there were only two of them in the hospital.
The young Taoist priest explained embarrassedly: "We are not ordinary people, after all, it is not a scenic spot, nor is it a famous mountain and river." ”
"You're the only one on the staff?"
The young Taoist priest nodded and explained, "The masters in the temple have gone to play mahjong. ”
"......" Huang Yin was silent, and didn't know how to answer for a while, so she hesitated before asking, "Chuanma." ”
The young Taoist priest smiled brightly: "Tencent mahjong!" ”
Huang Yin was speechless again, reached out to support her forehead, and then said, "Then I'll burn some incense." ”
"Okay, follow me."
……
Putting down the broom, the two of them bypassed the tripod and slowly passed through the water-sprinkled, extremely clean courtyard, and entered the main hall.
As a cultivator, there is a general lack of respect for the so-called gods and Buddhas, and when he just enters this temple, he finally has a trace of strange solemnity, but when he sees the things enshrined in the shrine, Huang Yin can't help but raise his eyebrows: "You are worshipping ...... Not a idol? ”
I saw that in the shrine, it was not the common Taoist gods, but a pair of words, a huge "I" word.
"The family teacher said that these years pilgrims don't know much about any immortals, worship a god of wealth, and it's too vulgar, it's better to ask for others than yourself, so it's better to simply worship yourself." The young Taoist priest smiled and said, "I mean the pilgrim himself. ”
It is better to ask for others than for yourself......
Huang Yin chewed on this saying, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a smile: "Some meaning, come to a stick of incense." ”
"Okay."
"How much?"
"Ten pieces." The young Taoist priest said casually without paying much attention.
After paying the money, lighting incense, and standing in front of the shrine, Huang Yin closed his eyes, bowed a little solemnly, and after doing all this, the Taoist priest next to him said, "Do you want to ask for only a signature?" ”
Routine...... The incense is so cheap, probably to make money on the unsigning.
Huang Yin thought about it, and said indifferently: "Okay." ”
So, there was another sign holder in his hand.
"How?" Huang Yin asked.
"If you think about what you want to ask for, just shake it around and smoke one."
"It's that simple?" Huang Yin was surprised, she really hadn't worshiped God before.
"Simplify the ritual...... Everybody's busy right now...... The begging on the street has scanned the QR code, well, if you really don't feel that the sense of ceremony is enough, you can shake it left three times, right three times, and then shout in your heart to open ......" The young Taoist priest hesitated and said.
Isn't this the plot in Journey to the West...... Don't bully me for not watching the TV series!!
Huang Yin roared in her heart, shook it helplessly, and at the same time thought about what she wanted to ask for in her heart, and then pulled out one.
"Just give it to me, and I'll give you an explanation." The young Taoist priest said.
"You...... Okay? Huang Yin doubted, although he had never worshiped God, but he knew that it was more reliable to find an old Taoist priest for this thing.
"There's no one else but me."
"Whew...... Right. Huang Yin wanted to cover her face and forget that the masters went to play mahjong.
Looking down at the signature, the young Taoist priest nodded and said, "Sign it, En...... It probably means that everything is going well and everything comes true. ”
"Finished?"
"Ahh
"You're too simple, isn't it?" Huang Yin was angry, and suddenly felt that this little Taoist priest was so hateful.
This is Chiguoguo's money scam, hey!!
If you want to make money, be serious, don't be so perfunctory!!
Don't you even play it?
"You have to be complicated, let me think about it......" The young Taoist priest lowered his head and pondered.
"Alright, so be it." Huang Yin sighed and interrupted him, "How much does it cost to unsign?" ”
"Ten pieces."
Slightly stunned, Huang Yin glanced at him, probably didn't expect the price to be so low, hmm, but calculate it carefully.
"Signing on the sign, it probably means that everything is going well and all your wishes come true." This sentence has a total of 16 words, ten yuan, that is, 625 yuan for 1,000 words.
600 ...... 1,000 words Six cents a word, mom, this is at least a "god" writer at the starting point!!
Black!
It's so dark!!
Huang Yin's little face sank, hugged her small purse, and then finally paid helplessly, and when she paid the money, she suddenly wondered again:
"Is it really signed?" She felt that with her recent luck, it would be difficult to draw such a good lottery.
"Of course," the young Taoist priest nodded firmly, and then added, "the whole lottery holder is full of lots, so whatever you draw will be the same result." ”
Huang Yin's good-looking eyes suddenly widened when she heard this, and her expression was so large that she almost lifted her little sunglasses away.
"Is that okay?!"
First stunned, then puzzled, Huang Yin couldn't help but ask, "Why is this arranged?" ”
The young Taoist priest explained slowly: "Asking for a signature, whether it is seeking marriage or career, everyone wants to hope for a good result, but it is too much to rely on the gods.
In the final analysis, whether you can achieve something or not depends on yourself, and if you want to do things well, having a good mood is obviously positive.
Pilgrims have a good mood and motivation to do things, and the probability of things getting better will naturally become greater, on the contrary, draw a bad lot, and mess up the mood, in such a state, even things that could have been done well may be affected, but get a bad result......
From this point of view, it is not useless to ask for a signature, it is just a psychological suggestion, you have spent money, so it is not appropriate to say two good words and give a positive psychological hint? ”
Probably because these words were too serious, and even sounded as if there was a little bit of truth, Huang Yin didn't know how to answer, and after a while, she smiled bitterly:
"But you've told me the truth, what's the use of hinting in your heart?"
The young Taoist priest spread his hands helplessly:
"Who asked you to ask me, you ask me, of course I can't lie to you, it's like I won't explain a bad sign into a good sign, that's a lie, I'll just stuff the stick holder with a sign...... It's a matter of basic honesty as a human being......"
Seeing that Huang Yin's face sank again, the young Taoist priest wisely shut his mouth, then thought about it, brought a teacup from the side, and said with a smile:
"Okay, count it my fault, I'll give you a cup of tea, this is called enlightenment tea, drinking it will help you become enlightened, and you can solve the mystery in your heart."
"It's almost ......" Huang Yin pursed her lips, she had climbed the mountain for so long, and she was indeed a little thirsty, if she was an ordinary girl, it was naturally dangerous to eat and drink things given by strangers outside, but Huang Yin, as the pinnacle of the sixth grade, was only a step away from advancing to the high rank, so naturally she didn't need to care about this.
Stretched out his hand to take the celadon teacup, and drank a cup of clear "Enlightenment Tea" with a rough movement, I don't know if it was an illusion, at this moment, Huang Yin really felt a lot more transparent.
Opposite her, Cheng Lin, who was dressed as a Taoist priest, had a triumphant smile on his face.
"Thank you."
Wiping the corners of his mouth and handing over the teacup, Huang Yin was excited, no longer stayed, and estimated that he had to go back to the highway to take a look, so he turned around and said goodbye to the young Taoist, walked all the way out of the Taoist temple, and walked down the mountain.
The ascent is slow, and the descent is naturally faster.
In just ten minutes, she had already walked halfway, and at this time, suddenly, Huang Yin suddenly had an illusion of refreshment, as if she had woken up from a dream.
The next moment, an indescribable force erupted from within her, and the bottleneck that had plagued her for a long time quietly broke.
The clouds and mist in the mountains boiled, turned into whirlpools, and swept towards Huang Yin, the mountains were silent, and an indescribable majesty rose to the sky!
This scene attracted countless people on the highway to pick up their mobile phones and compete to shoot, thinking it was a spectacle!
At this moment, Huang Yin officially stepped into the realm of seven products!
