79 Readings. Read. Half a month after the net, Master and I came to the foot of Heng Mountain, known as Nanyue, in front of us, is the legendary Zhu Rong Peak, all the way to the car and horses, in order not to let Master work hard, I am ready to find an inn to settle down, let Master rest first,

This place, called Yanshan Town, is not small, and it is rich in products, it is really a rich place.

After dinner in the inn, the master went to bed early, and I kept wandering around the room, thinking about how to find Lingzhu, according to Nangong Qingling, Lingzhu must have been in Qingyin Gate during this time, but when I saw the master of Qingyinmen, I didn't seem to be willing to let Lingzhu meet me, so I repeatedly prevaricated, the more she was like that, the more she could explain the problem, well,

"Lingzhu, no matter where you are, I will find you, waiting for me......"

I looked at the crescent moon in the sky, and was silent for a long time,

Before going to bed, I took out three pillars of incense and lit it, ready to pay homage to the land and the gods who protect the mountain, but when the incense burned happily halfway, it suddenly broke off.

Turning his head and glancing at the master who had already fallen asleep, I thought about it and decided not to disturb the master's rest, since there is danger, I can't even bother the master, let the master rest here first, I will go to the Qingyin Gate by myself, if I can find the spirit bamboo, it is naturally the best, but if I can't find it, come back and discuss with the master in the long run,

After thinking about it, I immediately walked out of the room lightly, found the shopkeeper and asked for paper and pen, wrote a note for the master, and hurriedly left the inn with the evil sword and the treasure bag.

When I came, I inquired, Qingyin Gate is in front of the mountainside behind Zhurong Peak, extremely remote place, because the mountain road is quite difficult to walk, so the local people just know that there is such a sect of cultivation in the back mountainside, but no one has ever been there,

Wearing the stars and the moon, I walked quickly up to Zhurong Peak, walked around the trail and walked towards the back mountain,

As soon as the sky was dark, we came halfway up the mountain in front of us, and from this, I passed around the cliffs and the thorny mountain passes, and passed through a large forest that was almost primitive, and I was almost exhausted from walking, and when I came to a stream, I finally could not bear my hunger and thirst, and squatted down to pour a few mouthfuls of water, and sat down on the stones beside me to rest for a while.

I didn't expect such a rest, but I fell asleep,

"Wake up, young man,"

In a daze, I heard an old voice calling me, I rubbed my eyes, and after a closer look, it turned out to be a white-haired old man with a cane, seeing that I woke up, he immediately laughed and said: "Young man, can you get some water for the little old man to drink, the little old man has been in a hurry so far, and he has no strength to bend down......

"Oh, old man, then sit down and rest for a while, and I'll help you fetch water to drink,"

I immediately helped the old man to sit on the stone, but when I turned back to fetch water, I found that I didn't have a vessel to hold water, and after thinking about it, I looked back awkwardly and smiled: "Old man, I don't know if you dislike the dirty hands of the juniors?"

As I spoke, I made a gesture of holding water with both hands,

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, young man, you have a heart, thank you,"

The old man waved his hand and motioned for me to hurry up and fetch water, seeing that his lips were already white and dry, and it seemed that he was thirsty.

I immediately picked up the water with both hands, but before I walked in front of the old man, the water leaked through my fingers, now I was in a hurry, and hurriedly turned back to hold the water, but just walked in front of the old man, the water leaked again, now I was completely anxious, scratched my head, looked around, there are no big grass and leaves nearby, how can I hold water,

I couldn't think of a reason after thinking about it, and in the end, I had to look at the old man helplessly, and said, "Old man, I'm really sorry, the younger generation can't get water to quench your thirst,"

"Young man, you obviously have something to hold water, can't you take it out and get it on the water?"

The old man pointed to my treasure bag and said with a smile,

"Well, old man, in this bag of the younger generation, there are no utensils except for rune paper and scriptures,"

I was stunned and said,

"Hehe, young man, there are many ways to hold water, and it's not just utensils that can do it, such as the book in your bag, tear off two pages, fold it into a cup, can't you hold water and drink?"

The old man smiled again and said, but seeing his hunger and thirst, I was even more anxious, but I looked down at the scriptures in the treasure bag, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

But if I don't do this, I won't be able to quench the old man's thirst, and if he dies of thirst because of it, then wouldn't I be even more of a great sin.

"Uh...... I didn't expect that there are so many helpless things in the world, alas......"

I muttered to myself, not knowing what to say for a while,

"That's it, hehe, young man, my family lives at the foot of the mountain in front, or you come with me to my house, this barren mountain and wilderness, it will soon be dark, and at night, there are many jackals, tigers and leopards here,"

The old man got up slowly, waved his hand,

"Old man, the younger generation has more important things to do, if there is a fate to see you again, the younger generation will definitely come to visit,"

I respectfully clasped my fists and saluted,

"Hehe, young man, we'll see you again,"

The old man smiled, and then turned around and walked slowly away with a cane, I looked down and thought about it, the old man didn't drink water to quench his thirst, how to have the strength to go down the mountain, but when I raised my head again, I found that the old man was gone, and I looked around and I was suddenly stunned: "Is it the mountain god here, no, if it is the mountain god, I can sense their immortal body, is it the mountain spirit and ghost, it doesn't seem to be right, I didn't notice any demonic and evil qi just now...... Forget it, no matter, it's not early, I'd better hurry up and find the Qingyin Gate,"

Just when the sky was getting dark, I finally vaguely saw a lonely Taoist temple on the cliff not far away, with steep stone walls on the left and right, and within the radius, it was an extremely difficult thorny jungle, if you were not careful, you would fall into the cliff.

But fortunately, I found the location of the Qingyin Gate.

This gave me infinite motivation to go on, and finally when the moonlight climbed the treetops, I came to the open space in front of the Qingyin Gate, and in front of the door, there was a little girl dressed as a Taoist child.

I immediately stepped forward, patted the little girl's shoulder, and asked softly, "Little sister, wake up,"

"Hmm...... Who, who are you?"

The little girl sat up slowly, rubbed her eyes, then stretched her waist and asked indistinctly, but when she saw me, she suddenly grinned: "You are here to find someone in Qingyinmen,"

"yes, how do you know,"

I glanced the little girl up and down again, and then asked, "Are you a disciple of the Qingyin Sect Master?"

"Exactly, the family teacher ordered that someone will knock on the mountain door today, and specially ordered me to come and greet me,"

The little girl suddenly regained the style of a big sect, put her hands behind her back, and continued: "The family teacher also said that the person you are looking for is not here,"

"......"

Before I could finish speaking, the little girl suddenly stretched out her hand to stop me from continuing, and said, "Not being here doesn't mean it's not elsewhere,"

"Oh, I still hope that the little senior sister will give you some guidance,"

I grinned, I can finally know the whereabouts of Lingzhu, it's fake to be unhappy,

I saw the little girl turn around and point to a mountain peak in the distance opposite, and said, "Brother Dao, please look at that mountain, that mountain is called Suyun Peak, the person you are looking for is on that mountain peak to retreat and cultivate,"

"Really, thank you so much, Senior Sister, by the way, I'll go in and say good luck to the Qingyin Sect Master and Senior Sister Qingling, after all, it's not easy to come here, these etiquettes can't be missing, haha,"

I said with a smile, but before I could step forward, I was stopped by the little girl again, and I asked in amazement, "Little sister, why is this?"

"The family teacher has a life, you can leave if you know the news, you don't have to go in to say hello,"

The little girl said loudly, as if I was not welcome to enter,

I scratched my head, does the master of the Qingyin Gate hate to see me again, think about it, last time on Jiuhua Mountain, I wanted to inquire about the whereabouts of Lingzhu, but I knelt down to the master of the Qingyin Gate, so, the Qingyin Gate must not want to see me again,

"Junior, Chen Xiaojiu, greet the seniors of the Qingyin Sect and retire to Senior Sister Qingling,"

I respectfully saluted to the mountain gate of Qingyin Gate, after speaking, paused, I turned around and walked away, and returned the same way, I didn't expect Lingzhu to retreat and cultivate in Zhuyun Peak, and I don't know if she was poisoned deeply under the Purple Mountain last time, and now it's okay or not.

With concern and deep longing, I quickly shuttled through the original path, but when I returned to the stream where I had stopped at first, and it was the second half of the night, looking at the gradually confused mountain road and the cluttered jungle, in order not to take the wrong path, I had to sit down again to rest, and prepare to set off again after dawn.

"Well, by the way, the old man I met earlier, he claimed that his family lived at the foot of the mountain in front, why don't I just take the shortcut here down the mountain, in this way, it can also reduce a lot of the distance to Suyun Peak, and also, I can see what the old man is, hehe,"

As soon as I sat down, I stood up again in an instant, and walked slowly in the direction that the old man had pointed out earlier, this road was the first time I had walked, for fear that there would be some traps set by hunters, so it was not smooth to walk,

It wasn't until the sky was bright that we could see the path down the mountain, and at the foot of the mountain, there was indeed a rather magnificent courtyard.

Within the radius, it is just this village, there is no other home, the mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, but there is a bit of a fairyland, presumably this must be another otherworldly paradise, the figure of the old man appeared in my mind again,
