Chapter 007: Up the Mountain
At this time, wearing a sportswear, sneakers, and a big straw hat, I rushed to Shangbu Village at the foot of Mianshan Mountain. There was a small restaurant at the entrance of the village www.biquge.info, so I went in to find a place to sit down and asked for a bowl of noodles.
It's not the tourist season now, there are not many tourists, and the small restaurant seems a little deserted, only to see the boss, the guy, and three or two tourists.
I was hungry, gobbling it up, and after a while I ate a big bowl of noodles, and then I turned my head and saw the shopkeeper, who looked like he should be a local, so I asked him about Yunheguan. The boss shook his head and said, I haven't heard of it. If I asked anyone else in the shop, I hadn't heard of it.
I walked out of the hotel again and asked the tourists and tour guides, and they all said that they had never heard of it. A little frustrated, I took a sip of water and continued to go from house to house in the village. Still no results.
Mianshan is so big, I can't do a carpet search, even if there is an EP-3E reconnaissance plane, I can't find a small building hidden in the dense forest; Nor is it realistic to seek revelations...... I thought about it, but there was no good way for a while, so I had to wander around the village and ask people when I met them.
I walked to the door of a small fertilizer shop, which contained bags of fertilizer packed in woven bags, piled high, and there was a strange smell around it. The boss is a simple middle-aged man, and he has no business for a while, so he sits at the door and smokes.
I stepped forward and asked, "Boss, how do I get to the Cloud Crane Temple?" ”
The boss was stunned for a moment and said, "What? Cloud crane view? I haven't heard of it. ”
I couldn't help but be disappointed. Suddenly, I remembered the appearance of Daoist Cangwu who was very different from ordinary people, and hurriedly asked, "Then, has there been a Taoist priest in your village?" Have you ever seen an old Taoist with a sallow face, triangular eyes, and broom eyebrows? ”
The boss thought for a moment and said, "There are many Taoist temples on the mountain, there are many tourists, and the incense is prosperous, and there must be Taoist priests - many of them are fake Taoist priests and charlatans, who specialize in defrauding tourists of money!" But the Taoist you mentioned is very much like a man who comes to me every month to buy fertilizer. Hey, he's not like those sticks! I think he's got what he can do. ”
After tossing for a long time, I finally have eyebrows. I hurriedly handed the three cigarettes to the boss and asked, "Oh, what is he capable of?" ”
The boss took the cigarette: "Before, someone in our village ran into something evil and asked him to help with it." Not to mention, he put an incense case and a lantern array, and every move and style is very skillful. After that, there were no more strange things in those families. ”
"Is he a thin man named Cangwu Dao Chief?"
"Yes, it's a skinny old man. I haven't asked his name yet, but every month he comes to me to buy fertilizer and leaves immediately. ”
I was filled with joy: "Then which way did he go up the mountain?" ”
The boss pointed to one of the paths: "Oh, that's it." "It was a rough path, quite difficult to walk, and almost no one went up from there.
It was already dark, so I stayed in a small hotel. The next day, I went up the mountain before dawn.
The mountain air is particularly fresh and refreshing. Along the way, there are countless green trees and clear streams, singing in the forest, and monkeys playing in the treetops, making people feel as if they have returned to the ancient times. How beautiful nature is. Although I have been living in a big city for so many years from the time I went to college to the time I came out to work, I still yearn for life in the mountains.
Walking into a dense forest, I saw a small stone pool. The water is very clear, but when you look at it from a distance, it is a large piece of turquoise, without a little variegation, like a piece of extremely precious high-quality glass jadeite. And surrounded by green trees, shrouded in light smoke, just like the fairyland Yao Pond. I couldn't help but be stunned. If I'm not in a hurry, I'll stop and take a few pictures.
After a few breaths, he hurried.
I don't know how long I walked, I was out of breath and sweating. The trail is really not easy to walk. Moreover, there was no Taoist temple to be seen along the way, not even a single figure.
Fortunately, I have been a real estate agent for two years, running around every day, practicing a good body, and also cultivating a tenacious will, not afraid of hardship, not afraid of tiredness, not afraid of setbacks, even in extremely unfavorable circumstances, I will not give up, grit my teeth to complete the task.
What kept me going was the words of the fertilizer shop owner, and I believe that what he described was the same person I was looking for, the Taoist of Cangwu; There is also Zhu Jianxin's painful expression when he is tied to the hospital bed - if I delay for one more minute, he will suffer for one more minute, and his will to survive will continue to be weakened.
As I pondered, I struggled up the very sloping hill when I suddenly saw something moving in the grass next to me! Hurriedly pulled out the short knife and clenched it in his hand.
Take a closer look, oh my God, a fat snake with purple sauce! It spits letters, and its two-meter-long snake body is purple and has a beautiful luster, but a few pale yellow patterns on its body, coupled with the squirming that stretches and shrinks, looks very disgusting. Its head is triangular, and there is no doubt that it is a poisonous snake!
I hurriedly stepped back, clenched my dagger and began my wrestling pose. The snake was less than two meters away, its head held high, and a pair of black bean-like eyes stared at me, shooting a fierce light.
I was thinking quickly in my heart: one-on-one, I would not be exposed at all, and if I let its venom get on me, I would die in a few minutes. What's more, when I take a step back, it forces a step forward, and the speed of the action is obviously above me!
I took out the wind oil essence from my bag, sprinkled it on the strange snake vigorously, and wiped it on my hands and feet, because cold-blooded animals are generally afraid of wind oil essence.
Sure enough, the strange snake smelled the essence of wind and oil, and suddenly shrank back, and then, like a curve, quickly swam through the grass, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and my heart was pounding. What species is this? I've never seen one.
The mountain roads are difficult to navigate and overgrown with weeds. When I couldn't walk fast, I suddenly found an ancient well!
I was so excited that I forgot about my fatigue for a moment. If there is a well, it means that it is inhabited; And ordinary mountain people live in the villages at the foot of the mountains, and those who can live in these deep mountains and mountains must not be ordinary people -- the head of Cangwu Dao is not an ordinary person.
I went around the well a few times.
This is an ancient well that is more than a few hundred years old, not far from the well, there are several fields, the fields are neatly planted with many plants, I don't know what kind of species, but I look like medicinal plants. Obviously, it's a place that is well cared for every day. There are a few empty woven bags next to the field, and the logo on the bags is used to hold fertilizer, exactly the same as the one I saw in the fertilizer shop at the bottom of the mountain.
I've come to the right place! I'm about to see the cangwu chief!
For a moment, I was indescribably excited. But when I looked around, there was no one and no Taoist temple.
It is not a good way to wait for the rabbit here, so while eating dry food, I sang in a broken gong voice: "The five-star red flag is fluttering in the wind, and the victory song is so loud!" Singing our dear drop motherland, from now on to prosperity and strength ......"
No matter how ugly it sounds, how ugly it sounds, I scared a few birds away.
I know, I'm just going to be a fool, but it doesn't matter, I just want to attract the Taoist. Moreover, the pressure and fatigue of the past few days have made me really need to vent......
"To!" Suddenly, something hit my straw hat. When I picked it up, it was a pine cone. I looked around and saw no one.
"To!" In confusion, another pine cone fell on my head.
Then, seven or eight pine cones crackled at me like bullets, as if someone was hiding and playing a prank.
I was dodging the pine cones when suddenly, with a snort, a golden shadow passed over my head and lifted the straw hat off my head.
I looked at it, and ouch, it turned out to be a very beautiful golden monkey! Unlike ordinary monkeys, it has strong limbs and pure fur, especially its eyes, which shine faintly with wisdom.
It snatched my straw hat and buckled it on my head, scratching its cheeks playfully like a naughty child.
I thought it was very cute, so I didn't bother with it, and grabbed a handful of dry food and threw it over.
The golden snub-nosed monkey picked it up and stuffed it into its mouth, and its cheeks bulged out one by one, and it was quickly eaten. Then, it deftly rolled backwards, landed firmly on the ground, and played a set of punches!
For fist and foot kung fu, I am a layman, I don't recognize what school of martial arts it is, but its every move and style is very skillful, the posture is standard, flexible and vigorous.
This...... This golden snub-nosed monkey is the thousand-year-old monkey king in the mountains? Is it the reincarnation of the Monkey King?
I was stunned, standing on the sidelines and looking dumbfounded.
However, I was immediately so excited that I jumped a few feet high. Because if you follow this monkey, you will surely meet its owner soon; And its owner must not be an ordinary man, no matter how clever the monkey is, it is only a living being, only instinctive wisdom, so it is impossible to teach boxing by itself, someone must train it - and in this deep mountain, the only one who can do this is the cangwu Taoist.
