After taking a quick bath, Xue Yue'er sighed, and said unwillingly: "When will I be able to play freely and do whatever I want, how good it is!" It's been a long time since I've seen the light of day! ”
Shaking his head, he endured the pain and wrapped his proud twin peaks with the long strip of cloth, wrapped them flat, and continued to pretend to be a man. looked at the pool carefully for a while, and then asked Li Hao if there was really any flaw, and slowly walked with Li Hao towards the outside of the valley.
"The two little friars have finally come out! I thought the two of you were asleep in there! ”
As soon as they came out of the small valley of Shengquan Mountain, the white-bearded old man greeted them with a smile.
It seems that no one is really watching her in the process of all this process in the holy spring of this flower valley, and she should not have discovered her true face.
"The words of prayer, presumably the two minor friars must have done it."
The white-bearded old man still led the way in front of him, asking about the necessary ritual process.
Li Hao nodded and said, "Master rest assured, we came in with sincere sincerity, so it is naturally impossible to forget these necessary etiquette." ”
The white-bearded old man nodded and said, "It's getting late today, so please go back to your room and rest with vegetarian fasting, and then bring two minor monks into the temple tomorrow for worship." ”
After sending Li Hao and them back to the small house where they had lived before, the white-bearded old man said goodbye and went back.
Li Hao and the two saluted back to the room, and on the dining table, someone had already prepared tonight's vegetarian meal, and the medicinal porridge used to recuperate and nourish the mind when they just woke up was still served on the dining table.
Xue Yue'er looked at the dry food taken from the beams in the back room with some tears and laughter, shook her head and smiled: "I knew that there would be fresh vegetarian food, so why bring these dry things in." ”
Li Hao smiled: "This is called being prepared, it's not a big trouble to prepare more, then you really don't have to eat, that's fatal!" Could it be that you want to become a fawn to gnaw grass? ”
Xue Yue'er took a sip of the medicinal porridge and said with a smile: "Yes, as long as you are willing to take two bites first!" ”
Xue Yue'er probably didn't expect that this would be her joke, and it would really come true to them in the future!
There was nothing to say that night, and in the early morning of the second day, Li Hao got up early, and after washing, he first went to the open space outside to fight a few sets of boxing and move his body. Maybe it was because she was woken up by his movements, Xue Yue'er, who had already gotten up, smiled and practiced with him.
Just when they felt a slight sweat and were about to gnaw on dry food, the white-bearded old man brought another bowl of two large bowls of medicinal porridge.
Li Hao and the others had just come to their senses, and they didn't have time to inquire about the surrounding situation, and they didn't know where this white-bearded old man would come from.
"Thank you, Master!"
The two smiled and saluted, and then took the porcelain bowl and drank the medicinal porridge.
Li Hao asked the white-bearded old man strangely: "Master, may I ask if you usually use this kind of medicinal porridge here?" ”
The white-bearded old man shook his head and smiled: "Of course not, this is specially prepared for the two of you, and some medicinal herbs added to it can relieve the weak stomach and intestines of the two of you who have been hungry for ten days." Since the establishment of this valley of flowers, the two are still the youngest monks who have successfully passed the test! With the exception of the monks who had been shut up, the people of the valley were looking forward to seeing the two minor monks. ”
Li Hao and the others thanked the white-bearded old man again: "Don't say it, we haven't thought of this yet, thank you again for the master's kindness!" ”
"The one who comes is a guest, and the two minor friars don't need to be polite!"
When Li Hao and the two had used the medicinal porridge, the white-bearded old man took the two of them around a few small roads, and also saw several small wooden houses scattered randomly in the woods. The wooden houses are also shaped in different styles, indicating that the people who live here are not from the same place, and also indicating the freedom in the valley of flowers.
After passing through several paths and seeing several wooden houses, the terrain in front of them suddenly became cheerful, and became as open as the flower and grass garden that the old man in gray had shown them before.
On the open flat ground, a cone-shaped white stone building with a minaret stands out in front of it. This is also the first white stone building that Li Hao and the others saw after entering the valley.
This large open area was paved with clean gray-white stones, a large square mass, and from before their eyes, it was paved in front of the spire. On the slate, there are no fallen leaves and debris, and the cleaning is very clean.
Coming to this square, the white-bearded old man restrained his smile and looked solemnly at the tall white building, which was the expression of a loyal believer when he looked at the god he believed in.
Li Hao looked at his appearance, immediately restrained his jokes, maintained the same posture and expression as the white-bearded old man, and walked slowly towards the pointed pyramid.
Learn from it, of course, and Xue Yue'er.
After taking three hundred and eighteen steps, Li Hao stood under the steps of the snow-white building. Looking at the tall and solemn snow-white building in front of them, both of them felt as if there was a holy light that belonged to God.
This feeling made Li Hao look forward to a little more excitement, and the opportunity may come!
With this mood, Li Hao and the others continued to climb up the steps with an urgent mood. Along the way, there were a hundred steps of steps, no more, no less.
Through the doorway under the upper circle in front of him, Li Hao directly saw the tall male stone sculpture inside, wearing a divine crown similar to a crown, with a resolute and handsome face, with a confident smile in his eyes, wearing a snow-white robe and holding a broad sword.
Don't say it, just looking at it, it's really a tall and handsome beautiful man!
Li Hao and the others were a little fascinated, although not long after coming to this continent, they had seen similar pictures in the murals, and they only felt that their faces were handsome, as if they still had some milk, or this was more shocking than the real statue shape!
"The two minor friars are here, and now they will join the priest in this ritual of worshiping the great gods."
The old man's powerful voice sounded in his ears, pulling the shocked Li Hao and the others back to reality, and they were busy saluting with them, closing their eyes and praying.
Li Hao would only say the two words of prayer taught by the white-bearded old man, and he would finish receiving the gift after a while, and looked at them with some embarrassment and continued to recite the words of prayer with his eyes closed.
After about half an hour of incense, the white-clothed and white-haired old man who had asked the question before turned his head to look at them with a smile on his face. Only then did Li Hao realize that not only his clothes and hair were snow-white, but the snow-white beard, just like that long hair, was scattered and could reach his abdomen. On the face, it is a withered and thin wrinkled face, and it is difficult to see the presence of flesh, but it is still a healthy bright red color.
This old man is still healthy, and he has a childish face! Could it be that it could really be a fairy?
The old man with a white body nodded: "I didn't expect that this priest is fortunate to meet such a young monk in this lifetime!" The two of you must have come to watch and play, so what are your thoughts next? ”
Li Hao shook his head and said, "It won't be like this!" May I ask the master, is this a blessed place for the cultivation of immortals? ”
The White Whisker Valley Lord smiled, "So, the two little monks want to come to the Great God?" This, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint the two of you! This Flower Valley is an ordinary place of cultivation, and it is also a gathering place for monks of various sects, but there are more local priests who believe in the God of Light. ”
Xue Yue'er looked at the only god statue in the main hall and asked strangely, "Do you believe in various sects?" So there is only one great god here, how do you get them to worship? ”
The lord of the White Whisker Valley said with a smile: "Some of them bring their own statues of gods and Buddhas in their huts, and some don't bring anything at all. ”
Xue Yue'er muttered: "It's so casual, it's okay like this!" ”
Li Hao asked, "Master, is this really not a place for immortals to cultivate?" ”
The White Whisker Valley Lord shook his head and smiled, "Of course not! The monks here generally lived long, but there is no record of immortality. ”
During this period, there were monks in the same costume as the lord of the White Whisker Valley, who came in to worship God and pray, and when they saw Li Hao and the two, they would smile and nod their heads, with undisguised admiration in their eyes.
The result of this return gift is that Li Hao and Xue Yue'er nodded in return, and their necks are about to break!
Now that he had this opportunity, Li Hao hurriedly asked if he could refer to the chronicles that recorded the chronicles of Huagu. The White Whisker Valley Lord smiled and nodded, "Of course, those things are all secrets, please come with me." ”
Li Hao, who didn't have time to look at the scene of the wide hall, found that there were still a large number of books stored on the walls on the left and right sides of the hall. Dozens of zhang long and wide, that amount of accumulation is also a lot.
The covers of those books were the same color as the snow-white stone walls, and they were just flush with the stone walls, so it was no wonder that they didn't notice it just now.
Xue Yue'er found something strange and asked in surprise: "Could it be that those books and scriptures can be filled in these stone walls by chance?" ”
The White Whisker Valley Lord shook his head and smiled, "How come! Half of the scriptures on the left wall are blank pages, and the right wall is even more blank, which will be excerpted and recorded later. ”
Xue Yue'er muttered again, "Is this okay?" ”
Li Hao looked at the stone wall that was several feet long, shook his head and said, "Even if this left wall is not filled, it will take a lot of time to finish it!" ”
The White Whisker Valley Lord smiled, "What? For the people of the valley, it is still too little! ”
Li Hao asked again: "So, which ones here record the events of the Flower Valley over the years?" ”
The Lord of the White Whisker Valley pointed in the direction of the Statue of Light and said, "There is a big empty wall in the top corner over there, and it has not been filled yet!" Everything else is all scriptures, both in originals and in manuscripts. The two friars wanted to see it, so they could go and fetch it, but there was one thing they couldn't bring out of the temple! ”
Li Hao and Xue Yue'er saluted and walked slowly, with some expectations and worries in their hearts.
Xue Yue'er took out the first book from the stone wall and opened it to read. The cover of this biographical book is snow-white, the pages inside have been yellowed, the handwriting is upright, gray and old, and the age is quite old.
Page 1: In 1957, the faithful followers of the God of Light came to this beautiful land with a missionary mission to build the first humble temple here, and began to bring the glory of the God of Light to the surrounding residents......
Li Hao listened to Xue Yue'er read softly, and couldn't help but think with some disappointment: Isn't this just a note on the journey of a priest to spread his faith, but he didn't know that it would later become a gathering place for believers of all factions.
Li Hao listened for most of the time, and it was only after hearing how the first priest went through a lot of hardships to help the local residents develop their lives and overcome natural and man-made disasters, and only then did he gradually develop a few local believers.
The specific content of the help in it is cumbersome and delicate, as well as the uninterrupted prayers, which made Li Hao's ears calloused when he heard it. Digging out his ears and shaking his head in some pain, Li Hao said weakly: "Mountain...... Brother Shan, you look at it first, and tell me when you see details such as describing immortals! ”
Those records are so dull and depressing, and the bitter complaints of the vast majority of those who record them can be understood as prayers! Xue Yue'er also looked listless, but after glancing at Li Hao, she still nodded honestly and said, "Oh! ”
The meditating white-bearded valley lord couldn't help but smile when he saw their disappointed appearance of strong spirits, knowing that persuasion was useless, so he simply continued to do his prayer.
Li Hao sat on the low stool and dozed off, Xue Yue'er frowned and read a lot of whining words, and often had to smile to deal with Li Hao's questions when he woke up from sleep, not to mention how irritable and unbearable.
She was so angry that she wanted to drop the book, and said angrily: "I knew this was the case, so I didn't want to learn any local words!" Well, now it's time to suffer here! ”
After a while, she would think again: "This is what Li Hao is most concerned about, how to work hard for him to complete it, can't be lazy!" ”
Poor Xue Yue'er was beside Li Hao, who was shaking her head and dozing off, and she looked through one thick notebook after another in a depressed manner, seeing that her eyes were dizzy, and she felt that her brain was about to explode, and she was more tired than practicing like crazy!
Suddenly, a slight sound of even breathing came, and Xue Yue'er looked at it with tears and laughter, it turned out that Li Hao hadn't asked for a long time and had fallen asleep.
Xue Yue'er rubbed her faint eyes, sighed, shook her head, refreshed herself, and continued to look at it.
"It's lunchtime, little friar, it's time for you to go back and rest! Also, there is no need to bring this companion who does not understand the writing here in the afternoon. Actually, there is really nothing to see here, the little friar has flipped through so many books, and he has also seen that there are many deaths recorded inside! This is what the priest can do to help improve, not the resurrection mana that the great god possesses. ”
When Xue Yue'er was about to fall asleep, the old voice of the White Whisker Valley Lord rang in her ears, reminding her that the hard morning had passed.
Xue Yue'er nodded and said, "We'll think about it!" ”
Pushing Li Hao, who had flowed out of the hara, Xue Yue'er couldn't help but chuckle, pulled him and walked towards the outside of the temple and said, "Brother Gu, it's time for us to go back to eat and rest!" ”
Li Hao scratched his scalp embarrassedly: "Why did you fall asleep?" You didn't wake me up, let me be looked at by them above the main hall, what a shame! ”
Xue Yue'er said: "Are you also afraid of being embarrassed? It's weird! The Lord of the White Whisker Valley told me that you should not come to suffer in the afternoon! ”
Li Hao shook his head and said firmly: "That's not good!" I've got to get to the bottom of it! ”
Xue Yue'er smiled even more: "Continue to fall asleep and find out?" ”
Li Hao said embarrassedly: "Isn't it that I can't read, what can I do?" I guess I didn't find anything useful just now, right? ”
Xue Yue'er nodded and complained: "What kind of biography is that, it's simply a book of grievances!" Look, I'm sleepy! Brother Gu, they are also some mortals, except for some fraternity, many things, they are equally unchangeable, irretrievable. I see, let's just listen to the advice of the white-bearded valley lord, don't waste time here. ”
Li Hao still shook his head firmly: "No, you have to read those things if you say anything!" You might even find some clues in it! ”
Xue Yue'er shrugged down dejectedly and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you!" Why is it that you are the one who wants to find the trace, but I am the one who suffers? ”
This is not a real fight, if she could, Xue Yue'er would not fight with Li Hao. You know, she hated books very much!
