Zhongnan Mountain is known as the first blessed land in the world, the left legend says that Zhongnan Mountain is the danger of Kyushu, it is a Taoist holy land, it is also a Buddhist holy land, temples, Taoist audiences, it is a hermit place of retreat from ancient times to the present, even today, it is said that there are 5,000 hermits in the practice on Zhongnan Mountain, there are former government officials, wealthy businessmen, actors, college students...... Various.

Some are because of career setbacks, love failures, some are seeing through the red dust, and some are purely looking for feelings, some people live in seclusion for three days and five days, three or five months, three or five years...... There are not many people who can persevere, most of them still stay for a while and leave, and then other people come again, fortunately, Zhongnanshan is big enough, otherwise it will be as lively as a vegetable market.

Even so, Wang Xiaobai and Qin Ge also saw a lot of hermits, some hermits wore ancient costumes fluttering like immortals, some wore ordinary people's clothes, clean and neat, and some were dirty like refugees, the road on Zhongnan Mountain was difficult, and they had to solve it by themselves, and many places reclaimed a small piece of land, planting vegetables and grains, which opened Wang Xiaobai and Qin Ge's eyes, but they went around in Zhongnan Mountain for three days, but no one knew where the Lingguan Temple was.

At first, the two of them still felt fresh, because they could often meet some monks and Taoists, and women in ancient costumes, what kind of strange people you can see in Zhongnan Mountain, there are too many people who practice Buddhism and Taoism, and the two have seen a Taoist priest in his seventies walking on the top of the mountain, like walking on the ground, and the body seems to be better than theirs.

There are girls in ancient costumes looking at the fallen leaves and trees in a daze, some meditating on their knees, some ploughing the fields, some playing the guzheng, some playing the flute, and some playing chess, all of which look quite fairy...... If it weren't for the mobile phone and the signal, both of them would have thought that they had traveled back to ancient times, and most of the hermits lived in a miserable place, and the places where they lived were also broken, and the mud houses were all good, the grass and trees were the houses, and the caves were ...... They can all live in people, and there is a sign hanging on the branch in front of the door of some small dilapidated houses, and tourists stop.

It's really strange and omnipresent, but it's not uncommon to see too much, three days later, Qin Ge began to complain, Wang Xiaobai can endure hardship, but he doesn't feel anything, he didn't hear Qin Ge's complaints, thinking that he shouldn't last a few days and should go home, but I didn't expect this kid to complain while persevering.

After wandering for seven days, he didn't find Wang Laodao's Lingguan Temple, and on this day he came to an unknown hill and met a monk nun, a monk in his fifties, with a ruddy face, carrying water in a mountain stream, Wang Xiaobai stepped forward and saluted: "Master, do you know that there is a small temple of Lingguan nearby?" My master's name is Wang Zhen! ”

The old nun looked at Wang Xiaobai and asked with a smile, "Are you Wang Lingguan's disciple?" ”

Wang Xiaobai couldn't help but perk up, nodded and said, "I am, my name is Wang Xiaobai, master, do you know the Lingguan Temple?" ”

"Go up that mountain road, there is a small house on the top of the mountain, that is the Lingguan Temple!"

This place is too remote, there are few hermits, Wang Xiaobai didn't expect to find it, he didn't expect to find it by mistake, the fatigue on his body was suddenly swept away, and he hurriedly thanked the bhikshunis, the old nun smiled back, Wang Xiaobai excitedly dragged Qin Ge and went straight to the mountain plank road, this place is too partial, there is not even a road, some places are cliffs, the road is very narrow, quite dangerous, fortunately, Wang Xiaobai has cultivated well in recent years, and took Qin Ge to the top of this hill without danger.

Said to be the top of the mountain, in fact, not much spacious, there are more than 300 meters of distance between the front and back, there is a huge pine tree in front, there is a small stone house and a small courtyard under the pine tree, seeing the stone house and the small courtyard, Wang Xiaobai was shocked, in his impression, Taoism, the temple should be very magnificent, even if it is small, it will be very exquisite, small and exquisite.

But Master's Taoist temple is simply miserable, let's just put it this way, the courtyard of the Taoist temple is not as big as the courtyard of Wang Xiaobai's house, and the house is not as good as his house, it is a dilapidated and dilapidated house, but this is his own root, and Master has been practicing in this place for decades...... Wang Xiaobai felt sad at the same time, but also a little nervous about being close to home.

Taking a deep breath, he walked over, and when he arrived in front of the huge pine tree, Wang Xiaobai stopped, touched the pine tree, the twisted branches, the mottled bark and the accumulated marks, giving people a weathered, vigorous and clumsy feeling, Wang Xiaobai looked up at it. Between the pine branches, there is the sun, turbulent clouds, and a blue sky.

"Little white...... This...... This is what you call the Lingguan Temple? I'm going, it's simple, this is the sect of Megatron, it's the target of poverty alleviation, it's so disappointing to me! You say that your master has so much ability, why do you live in such a shabby place? ”

Qin Ge's words woke up Wang Xiaobai, ignored him, and walked straight to the courtyard door, there was not even a lock, it was just a firewood door, and it was opened with a light push, and entered the courtyard, there was a stone table inside, two stone benches, very simple and rough, it should be a stone table and stone bench made by the master himself, and the small Taoist temple was piled up with bluestone, not high, even a little low, and a plaque full of dust was hung on the main door, Lingguan Palace!

The yard was full of fallen leaves swept by the autumn wind, and the wooden door had rotted. Gently push open the door, there is a gloomy atmosphere inside, it is said to be a hall, it is better to say that it is a living room, because the area is about the same size as the living room of an ordinary person, and there is a statue of Wang Lingguan in the middle, with a bare face and beard, wearing gold armor and red robes, three eyes glaring, holding hot wheels on the left and steel whips on the right, the image is extremely powerful and brave,

But this mighty and brave statue was covered with dust, and the paint fell off piece by piece, very mottled, and there was a wooden desk in front of the statue, on which there were only two incense candle holders and an incense burner, and there was nothing else, and the cobwebs were rampant in the room, because it was in disrepair, and there was air leaking everywhere.

Wang Xiaobai remembered that the master once said that the Lingguan Temple was in disrepair and wanted to be renovated, so his nose couldn't help but be sour, and a gust of wind poured in, blowing the dust on the desk, and actually blew up a piece of paper, which was pressed on the incense burner, and it was full of dust, and I don't know how long it had been placed, if it wasn't blown by the wind, it would be difficult to find.

Wang Xiaobai walked over, lifted the incense burner, and pulled out the piece of paper, which turned out to be a letter left by the master to him: "Xiaobai, I know you will come to me, I'm fine, it's all fine, you are a good child, go to school well, work hard, I will go to you if I have something, you don't have to worry about me, the mountain is bitter, I am not always there, don't wait for me, in the corner of the room on the right, I left something for you, we have a fate between master and apprentice, and we will definitely meet again!" ”

The letter was very short, just a few words, but Wang Xiaobai's tears fell, and he was about to cry out in his heart, Master, you have taught me for three years, and you have been away from me for three years, I have learned the Tao from you since I was fifteen years old, and now I am twenty-one years old, you are old, why can't you follow me and let me honor you?

The master is not young, and he doesn't know if he has found the two pangolins, not only that, but he also wants to repair this small temple, can he eat it? Obviously, the master has come back, and he guessed that Wang Xiaobai will definitely come to him, so he left him a letter, holding this letter Wang Xiaobai was silent, he wanted to honor the master and take the master with him, but with his current ability, what can he offer to the master?

Even the master left him something, Wang Xiaobai held back his sour emotions, and walked to the small room on the left, the entire Lingguan Temple is actually two rooms, except for the main hall is the bedroom, into the bedroom, less than ten square meters, a small broken bed, the bed and quilt are dirty and colorless, revealing cotton, and a small wooden table, on which there is an oil lamp, in addition to some pots and pans, the cooking stove is outside.

Wang Xiaobai pushed away the small wooden bed, and in the corner of the wall on the right, he saw a small cloth bag, which was also full of dust, and when he opened it, it was a stack of bamboo paper, which was brought out of the yin market, and there was nothing else, obviously the master had nothing else to take, and tried to leave the good ones to Wang Xiaobai.

Wang Xiaobai silently received the bamboo paper into his backpack and began to tidy up the house, Qin Ge was shocked, seeing that Wang Xiaobai's Lingguan faction was like this, it was false to say that he was not disappointed, not to mention that he didn't see Wang Laodao, thinking that it would be time to go down the mountain later, but seeing Wang Xiaobai rolling his arms and rolling up his sleeves, he was obviously going to be stationed in Shajiabang.

"Xiaobai, your master is not here, let's go down the mountain later, I also read the letter, your master can't come back, what are we doing in this place, whether we want to eat or not, whether we want to drink or not, there is no place to brush our teeth and wash our faces, we are students, we haven't seen through the red dust, you are obedient, let's go down the mountain......"

"Qin Ge, although this place is in tatters, it is my root, if my master can stay, I can't wait? If the master is here, I will stay a few more days, if he is not there, I will stay a few more days, I can't do anything else, but clean this up, buy some colored paint, and repair the statue of the ancestor has to be done, I happen to also practice, this place is full of spiritual energy, anyway, I have nothing to do when I go down the mountain, it's still early to start school, and the summer vacation is here, you don't have to suffer this crime with me, hurry down the mountain, let's see you at the beginning of school......"

"No, Xiaobai, do you really want to stay in this place until school starts?"

"Yes, for sure, you don't need to accompany me, go down the mountain Qin Ge, it's already great that you can accompany me here!"

Wang Xiaobai said lightly, and what he said was also the truth, a pampered young master like Qin Ge could accompany him to wade through mountains and rivers, and find the Lingguan Temple in the open air, it was really amazing, although he would always complain a few words, but he still persevered, could he still not let people complain?

Qin Ge was stunned, looked inside and outside the house, stomped his feet and said: "Dude can endure hardship, Wang Xiaobai don't look down on people, buddy will stay here with you until school starts, let you see, what you can do, I can do it too!" ”
