Chapter 243: Asking the Dao Gate

In this way, our group did not go far. Suddenly, I saw a gray-white gatehouse, which seemed to be made of marble, but if you looked closely, it didn't look like it.

In the middle of the gatehouse, there are several large characters carved to ask the door.

"Ask the ...... of the Daomen," Hua Yue stopped and looked at the words and read them.

The master and the others also stopped, and the master looked at the words on his head and said slowly: "Yes, ask the Taoist door." ”

I slowly turned my head to look at the master and asked, "Master, why didn't you tell us about the Daomen before, and you didn't tell us the exact location when you told me about the Daomen?" ”

After hearing this, the master slowly turned his head to look at me and said, "It's not too late for you to know now, this Dao Sect is the sect with the highest prestige of all Dao Sects. ”

"Master, I haven't heard you talk about our sect, what is the head of our sect?" I turned my head and asked again.

The master shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Our sect is not worth mentioning, our sect is some small sects in this sect that are not in the stream, and there are many people like us in the rivers and lakes. However, although we are a small sect, Daoben is a family, and there is not much difference. ”

I nodded, of course I didn't mean to dislike my own sect. After we stood there and looked at it for a while, I heard footsteps in the distance, I looked in the direction behind me, and saw a few people dressed as Taoist priests not far away, walking in our direction, I think it should be the people who participated in the big competition.

"Okay, let's go, don't look at it yet, and you'll see it later." Master Bo said on the side.

When we heard this, we walked to the back of the gatehouse. Behind the gatehouse is a stone staircase that stretches up the hill as if there is no end in sight.

We walked for an unknown amount of time, until the slope of the stone steps gradually became less steep, and I suddenly saw a large number of buildings not far away, and there were many figures walking around.

"It's coming soon, everybody speed up." Master Bo said as he walked forward.

We didn't speak, we still followed the master and a few people in that direction. After a while, we were in front of the building. The first thing I saw was a red mountain gate, which was not as big as one side, but several times larger than the Qingfeng Temple. Directly above the gate, there is a plaque with gold characters on a black background, which reads, "Daomen".

On either side of the gate, there were two more Taoist boys in dark blue robes standing there. On both sides of the gate are two particularly high walls, which are not visible from a distance.

A Taoist boy came over to look at us and asked, "How many of you are participating in the big competition?" ”

After hearing this, the master nodded slightly and said, "Exactly, please ask the little master to lead the way." ”

Dao Tong didn't say anything after hearing this, and led us directly towards the door.

As soon as I walked through the door, I was instantly stunned. What catches your eye is a large open space, all paved with stone slabs, which can accommodate four or five hundred people standing at the same time without crowding. At the back of the open space is a large hall, the door of the main hall is open, through the door you can see a golden statue of the ancestor of the three Qing ancestors. On both sides of the main hall are many houses, and I don't know exactly what they do.

There was only a round arch in the house on the east side, and the Taoist boy led us directly in that direction. While looking around, I followed the master and the Taoist children slowly.

Soon after, Daotong led us through the arch to an open door. As soon as we walked in, we saw a Taoist boy who was dozing off with a brush in his hand.

"Hey, I didn't let you sleep here, hurry up and get down to business." The Taoist boy who brought us here knocked on the table and said.

The dozing Dao Tong woke up suddenly, then looked at the master and asked, "Sect, how many people are participating in the big competition?" ”

The master glanced back at us and said, "Qingfeng Guan, there are a total of four people participating in the big competition. ”

While recording, Dao Tong said to himself: "Qingfeng Guan, what is this, why haven't I heard of it." ”

I glanced at the boy and didn't say anything.

Then Dao Tong opened his mouth again and asked, "Name." ”

"Wang Chuyan, Jiusheng, Huafeng, and Huayue." The master hurriedly replied.

"How many people are with you?"

"Five people with me."

When the master finished speaking, the boy didn't ask anything anymore, and was always there as if he was recording something.

After the Taoist boy finished recording, the Taoist boy who brought us looked at the master and said, "Now I will take you to the place where you live, please come with me." ”

The master nodded slightly, and then followed behind the boy. In this way, we followed the Taoist boy out of the room. After leaving here, we walked all the way to the north, and there were more and more houses along the way, many of which had separate courtyards, and there were many people chatting in the courtyards, but looking at their appearance, they seemed to be the same people as we were participating in the big competition.

Dao Tong led us all the way to the small bamboo forest at the back, and there were several courtyards in the bamboo forest.

Dao Tong came to one of the courtyards, looked at us and said, "You can stay here for the time being, and you can rest well today." There are still three days before Dabi, so you can take this opportunity to take a good tour of the scenery of my master's gate, and someone will bring you breakfast and dinner. ”

The master hurriedly said, "This will trouble the little master." ”

Dao Tong hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, a few people have a good rest." ”

After saying that, Dao Tong turned around and walked into the distance, while a few of us walked into the courtyard. Although the yard is not very big from the outside, when we walked in, we found that there was actually a backyard in this yard, and I looked at the number of houses, and it happened to be one room for a few of us.

"Alright, let's go into the house by ourselves." The master looked at us and said.

When I heard this, I looked around, and there were six rooms in the courtyard in front of me, two on the north side, two on the east side, and two rooms on the west side. In the courtyard near the west side of the house there is a stone table and a stone bench, and next to the stone table is a small tree that is not tall.

I turned and walked down the hallway next to the house on the north side, and then I walked into the backyard. The backyard is similar to the frontyard, except that there are three fewer rooms than the frontyard.

I looked back at the master and said with a smile: "Master, these three rooms seem to be specially prepared for you." ”

The master smiled and didn't speak, I took a brief look, and then went back to the front yard to find a room. When I went over, Jiusheng and the others had already finished selecting the house, and only one room to the north was left for me, and Qing Yao lived next door to me.

After a period of tidying up, I took a look and it was already close to noon. I pushed open the door and walked out, and I saw Hua Feng and Hua Yue sitting at the stone table drinking tea.

"You two are quite good at enjoying it, I didn't expect to drink tea." I said as I walked over slowly.

Hua Yue poured tea for my cup and said, "I just cleaned up and came out for a cup of tea." ”

I looked at Huayue and smiled, and then I took the tea that Huayue had poured in front of me and prepared to drink it.

At this time, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Dare to ask Senior Brother Wang Chuyan if he lives here?" ”

I looked in the direction where the sound came from, and saw a Taoist boy standing at the door, looking into the courtyard.

I hurriedly got up and walked over and said, "I'm Wang Chuyan, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

Daotong looked me up and down and said, "There is a Taoist friend who said that he wanted to see you, so let me come to look for you." ”

After hearing this, I was very puzzled, I don't know anyone in this Daomen, and I don't know anyone around here, how can anyone look for me.

"Chu Yan is okay, you also know someone in this Daomen." Hua Yue said as she sat on the side.

I turned my head to look at Huayue and said, "I don't know anyone in this Daomen, you wait for me, I'll go over and take a look." ”

As I spoke, I turned my head to look at Daotong and motioned for him to lead the way. Seeing this, Dao Tong hurriedly showed me the way in front. After a while, I walked out of the bamboo forest with the boy, and the next moment I saw a gray figure standing not far away.

When I looked closely, I realized that he was actually Genki. I didn't expect this kid to find this place, I think he must have come to me because we left him.

Then I was ready to turn around and sneak back before Genki noticed me. But just as I turned around and hadn't walked a few steps, Genki's voice came.

"Rabbit cub, where are you going, you stop me."

When I heard this voice, I felt a little angry in the words. Then I quickened my pace and ran towards the bamboo forest, maybe I did something that didn't stand for Xuanmu, I always felt that I couldn't live for Xuanmu, so I chose to run.

As soon as Genki saw me running away, he immediately chased after me.

Xuanmu shouted while chasing back: "You stinky and shameless, you actually dumped Lao Tzu, we just got together for a long time, and you did such a thing to Lao Tzu." ”

It sounds okay to be an insider, but it sounds like a taste changes if you don't know.

When Xuanmu was chasing me, there were several Taoist children on the road. When those Taoist children heard Xuanmu's words, they were directly stunned in place, and then looked at me who was running non-stop.

One of the Taoist boys looked at me and slowly opened his mouth and said, "I didn't expect that there would be such a person in this world. ”

Another Taoist boy interjected: "I think that it should be that the person who wears the clothes is being played with. If you look at his angry look, you can see that he really paid a lot. ”

As soon as these words came out, the Taoist boy on the side nodded again and again.
