Chapter 40: The Blind Girl
"That should be the place?" Lu Xiaoling put his hand on his forehead and looked into the distance, this simple action was very beautiful in Sun Yang's eyes, he looked at her for a moment, and he didn't come back to his senses until he was glared at by Lu Xiaoling.
"Fool......" Lu Xiaoling said in a low voice.
Sun Yang coughed to hide his embarrassment and quickened his pace.
The location of Zhenyuanguan was far farther than they imagined, coming out of Wengen County all the way north into the mountains, along the rugged mountain road all the way up, after nearly an hour they arrived at a pine village, then parked the car at the threshing floor in the village, and continued to walk for nearly half an hour before finally arriving at the Taoist temple located on the top of the cliff.
The more than ten kilometers in Ma Bin's mouth is about the straight-line distance from it to the county seat, but in such a mountainous area, the distance is often several times longer.
"How could anyone build a Taoist temple in such a place?" Lu Xiaoling couldn't help but say.
But what surprised Sun Yang even more was that the temple seemed to have been renovated a few years ago, and the red walls looked new.
The two walked towards the Taoist temple step by step with questions, turned a mountain pass, and suddenly opened up in front of them, and in a flash, Sun Yang got the answer.
On the opposite side of the cliff is Heihezi, even if he stands here, Sun Yang can see the section dug out of the channel construction on the slope of the mountain, and from a distance, it looks like a rough cut from the mountainside.
He took out the map and hurriedly ran to the flat land next to the Taoist temple, Gao Zongke, Shang Invention, Xia Invention, Tiger Leaping Stone, Hazelnut Slope, Hewei...... All the places he had walked on his feet were on the other side of this cliff.
The eighteen suspicious graves marked on the map can all be seen here, and even the forest where Lu Lou died in battle can be faintly seen.
The pit has not yet been completely filled, and more than two years later, it has become a pond, and the sparkling waves can be faintly seen from standing here.
Lu Xiaoling quickly followed his gaze to see that place, she was not as familiar with this place as Sun Yang, but she soon realized what kind of place it was, she pursed her mouth tightly, Sun Yang glanced at her and hugged her in his arms.
There was a sudden shrill "crunch" sound behind him, as if someone had pushed the door open, Sun Yang turned around, but saw a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old, she was very thin, wearing a wide blue-gray robe, but it was blown by the mountain wind like a hanger made of thin wire. Her hair was tied at the top of her head, and a wooden chopstick was inserted diagonally.
But Sun Yang's first impression of her was her eyes, as if there was a white film covering her eyes, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.
Lu Xiaoling was also stunned for a moment, and then she walked over: "Little sister......"
"I'm not a little sister." The girl said coldly. Her eyes obviously couldn't see anything, and she only relied on her ears to distinguish Lu Xiaoling's position. "Who are you and what are you doing here?"
"My name is Lu Xiaoling, his name is Sun Yang, we have important things we want to meet the Lord."
The girl's eyes suddenly turned red, and then she bit her lip stubbornly, and after a few seconds, she replied, "I am the Lord." ”
"You?" Sun Yang said in surprise, and the girl's face suddenly became unhappy.
"If you have something, just say it, I still have something to do!"
"You're the only one here?" Lu Xiaoling couldn't help but ask.
Standing here, you can see through the open courtyard door, a main hall, a side room, a small courtyard, there is a place in the corner that should be a thatched toilet, the yard is planted with some vegetables such as green vegetables and radishes, and a few white clothes are dying, which can be seen at a glance.
There wasn't much flat land on the top of the mountain, and they had already felt that this Taoist temple was very small, but they didn't expect it to be like this.
But it also immediately let them know that there was no one else living here.
Surrounded by an abyss, how did this little girl who couldn't see anything survive in this place?
"It's none of your business!" The girl said in a vicious voice. "What the hell is going on with you? It's okay, I'm closing! ”
Sun Yang looked at Lu Xiaoling, who took a step forward and asked, "Little sister, have you always lived here by yourself?" What about your master? ”
"My master is dead." The girl said in a cold tone. "That's why I'm the Lord."
Sun Yang sighed, when he found out the location of this place, he thought he could know a lot about Heihezi, but now that this girl is the only one left here, what can she know?
He wanted to ask the girl why she lived alone in the mountains, but looking at her stubborn and extremely defensive attitude, he couldn't ask.
"We heard that this view is very effective, so we came to worship, don't you know how convenient it is?" He pulled Lu Xiaoling and said softly.
"I see." The girl let go of the door and asked, "Are you here to ask about marriage, about the future, to solve the dilemma or to find someone?" ”
"Can you tell us?" Lu Xiaoling asked in surprise.
"Some can and some can't, the key is to see whether your heart is sincere or not." The girl replied. "The villagers in the nearby towns and eight miles know that as long as you ask religiously, Daozu will give you the answer."
Sun Yang smiled bitterly, he had seen a lot of scammers in the Blue Road, but he didn't expect to come so far to this place and see such a little liar.
Lu Xiaoling looked at him, neither of them knew whether to laugh or say anything, Sun Yang groaned slightly, and said, "I want to find something." ”
"Looking for something?" The girl had already walked in by this time, and she must have been very familiar with the place, and it was impossible to tell from her steps that she was blind.
"It's a little harder, but it's not completely hopeless." She gestured to the door. "Let's go fetch water first, and then come over and make incense."
"Fetch water?"
"Don't you know the rules?" The girl asked in surprise. "Come to us, whatever you want to ask, you have to fetch two buckets of water first."
This is probably a request made by the girl for a living, this place is almost the highest point around, it is impossible to dig a well, there is no spring, she lives here alone, it is really inconvenient if there is no one to help fetch water.
He shook his head slightly, smiled at Lu Xiaoling, picked up the flat pole placed by the door, and picked up the two buckets.
"Go to the left, walk a hundred steps down the road, turn right, and walk another two hundred and fifty steps to see the spring." The girl entered the main hall, took out three incense sticks from the case, lit them on the ever-bright lamp skillfully, and then handed them to Lu Xiaoling.
Her movements surprised Lu Xiaoling, she could accurately know her position just by her ears, and she was not tall or short at all, she was suddenly very interested in this girl.
"Worship Daozu first." The girl said. "The heart should be sincere, and the intention should be respectful. But don't ask anything now, wait until he brings the water. ”
