The wind in the mountains is very strong, mixed with light snow, the cold is terrible, because it is late, so there is no one in the yard, Tan Jian led us into the house of an old couple who borrowed it, the four of us, eight hundred yuan a night for the accommodation fee, the old couple is very satisfied, and very enthusiastic, they made hot tea when they entered the house, and put some hot dishes and hot meals for us to eat, and they took their little granddaughter to watch TV in the lobby, worried that the little granddaughter would make noise to us.

The food is relatively basic, but none of us are the picky people, what haven't we eaten in the jungle of Yunnan-Burma? So I'm also holding a big bowl to eat at this time, Tang Linlin eats more than me, and I don't know how her little belly fits.

The meal was a little supportive, and I lay on the chair and touched my belly, in exchange for Tang Linlin's contemptuous gaze.

After eating almost enough, Zhou Xuanye asked, "Senior brother, how is the old man's body?" ”

Tan Jian touched his chin and said, "It's still the same, it's very strong, and I have accepted two more apprentices, plus those junior brothers and sisters before, now let's look at it, it's really flourishing." When he said this, Zhou Xuanye suddenly understood, and said sympathetically: "I have been blackmailed with a lot of meeting gifts, right?" ”

Tan Jian rolled his eyes and said unhurriedly, "Anyway, my wallet is empty." ”

I can't help but feel curious when I hear this, because these two people rarely talk about the specific situation of the Sanziguan, I only remember Zhou Xuanye said that the Sanziguan first flourished for a period of time, and then the Cultural Revolution collapsed and became a deserted view. Later, after the end of the Cultural Revolution, the lay Taoist priests who had been ordained in Sanziguan returned to Sanziguan and became the new master, accepting the masters of Tan Jian and Zhou Xuanye, which passed down the incense.

In my image, I thought that the Sanziguan should be a dilapidated small view, and now listening to the conversation between the two of them, it seems that the Sanziguan is still quite popular now?

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but ask.

When Tan Jian heard my thoughts, he immediately sneered: "Do you think it is still the same as in the past? I don't know. I knew that he was so virtuous when he spoke, and he didn't go to his heart, so he said directly: "The little one is uninformed, Boss Tan, you advise and advise." ”

He hissed in his mouth, saying that my skin was getting thicker and thicker, and he washed me before he talked about some things about Sanziguan.

Now the times are different, and the management of Gongguan is also different.

Sanziguan is still the way of Taoism, so the pattern is also the pattern of Taoism.

However, the geographical location of Sanziguan is good, surrounded by mountains and strange peaks, everything grows in spring, and the stream is murmuring; In summer, the trees are lush, and the beasts and cranes are singing; In autumn, the forests are dyed with thousands of postures; In winter, it is covered in silver again, and it is beautiful.

Now everything is economic, and when the economy is good, I like to travel everywhere, but wherever the beautiful place is, I can't escape the fate of being developed by tourism. The location of the Sanziguan is also similar, after the tourist route was developed, there are more tourists, and the public view is also beautifully repaired, and there are naturally more people.

But if you really want to learn skills, whether it is cultivating or refining corpses, or learning Qimen Dunjia Yi Hexagram divination, you need to concentrate and have no distractions.

Therefore, some of the large palace views in the Taoist gate have always been divided into inner and outer doors.

Of course, there is no strict distinction between this inner and outer door, it is just a default rule. The people of the same palace are often divided into two groups, and the talented part of the people who really seek the Tao are often not exposed to the trivial matters of tourists, and they have a separate space to live. Another part of the people, that is, the outer door, is mostly busy with mundane things, tourists go to places like Taoism, and most of them come into contact with the people of the outer door, of course, it is not excluded that some people from the inner door are idle and have nothing to do, come out to experience life to help receive tourists, that is another matter.

Although the Sanziguan is small, it is also a default way, it is a prosperous person, Tan Jian and Zhou Xuanye are typical people in the inner door, they are out of the door after learning the real skills, the Taoist door is not as strict as the Buddhists, since ancient times there has been a way to enter the world, and it is not limited to the palace view, of course, if there is something big in the master, it must be rushed back to help.

Tan Jian returned to the master this time, and was searched by that group of junior brothers and sisters, not to mention how aggrieved this iron rooster was, and swore that next time there was something to do, he would definitely let Zhou Xuanye go back, and he would never go back.

"Senior brother, it's not that you don't know my situation, I have to go back, and I can't avoid being blamed, maybe I will have to be confined." Zhou Xuanye snorted.

Tang Linlin felt strange and asked, "Confinement?" Could it be that you have done something sorry for your master. ”

Zhou Xuanye touched his nose, obviously not wanting to answer this question, but Tan Jian didn't want to help him cover it up, but glanced at me and said lukewarmly: "He looks like this, when I go back, I know that I have used the Three Altars of Séance, this is my access control technique, not to mention the injury, but also damage the Yin Virtue, do you say he dares to go back?" ”

Only then did I understand the reason, I didn't know what to say for a while, I sat up straight, and I only felt guilty in my heart: "Brother Zhou, I ...... I, why didn't you tell me. "Although he said that he would lose his life, he didn't tell me that he would also lose his yin virtue. After getting along with these two people for more than half a year, I also have some understanding of this aspect, and for people like Tan Jian and Zhou Xuanye, accumulating virtue is more important than anything.

At this moment, I felt guilty and unbelievable, if the price was so big, why did Zhou Xuanye save me? I'm a good-tempered person, and I really don't belong to the kind of person who is annoying, but I haven't been liked enough to sacrifice for me at any time.

I, Su Tiangu, what kind of virtue can I ......

Zhou Xuanye glanced at Tan Jian quite dissatisfied, and said, "It's all over, what are you going to do with these now." Then he sighed and said to me, "Don't think about it, I took you into the desert in the first place, and in that case, it is my responsibility, besides, don't I live well now?" As long as people are alive, what they have lost, there is a chance to get it back. ”

I suppressed the gratitude in my heart, nodded, and without saying more, everyone tacitly revealed the words, and then Tan Jian talked about what he heard this time.

Yumen is a very ancient place, even the original Cultural Revolution, it did not affect them, because they were almost isolated from the world. Tan Blade's master also knows very little, but I heard that more than forty years ago, people from the Feather Gate appeared in this area, and the people in the Feather Gate rarely went out to walk, so Tan Blade's master judged that the old nest of the Feather Gate might be near this area.

And Tan Jian arrived at this place half a day earlier than us, and he also asked the people around him about Yumen, but none of the surrounding villagers knew.

On the contrary, it was the people we borrowed this from, and the old man said a clue that Tan Jian felt reliable.

Tang Linlin immediately asked, "What clue?" ”

Tan Jian said: "Behind Longyin Mountain, there is a cliff, the people of Qiaojia Village, in the past, have the tradition of sacrificing to the bird god for generations, and a sacrificial event will be held every autumn, scattering some rice and other things under the cliff. Later, under the Great Famine and the Great Revolution, the sacrifice had to be stopped, and until now, no one is performing such a sacrifice."

Tang Linlin touched her chin and speculated, "You mean, this ancient activity of sacrificing bird sounds is likely to be related to the people of Yumen?" ”

Tan Jian snorted and didn't speak again.

I said: "The people of Yumen are worshipping birds as gods, if their gathering place is around, then their culture will inevitably affect the surrounding areas, I think this clue is very reliable, you are, that Yumen, will it be somewhere under the cliff?" ”

The corners of Tan Blade's mouth hooked, and he said with a smile: "This is still using you to put the afterthought." I've bought some climbing stuff and gear, and I'll have it delivered around tomorrow, so let's go down to the bottom of the cliff and have a look. ”

Everyone determined the goal, and then put away the dishes, Tang Linlin and I planned to wash the dishes, but the old couple stopped us, the old grandmother cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash, the old man led us to the resting room, I thanked him, and he went out on his own.

Although the house is old, the house space in the past is very large, so the room is sufficient, one person, even the quilt is a little old, because it is winter, there is no heating and no air conditioning in the room, it seems particularly cold. I washed my feet, shrunk into the quilt and was about to sleep, when a gray-white human head suddenly poked out from next to my shoulder, and my round face showed a look of grievance: "Brother, you are asleep." ”

My heart was pounding with fright, and I couldn't help but grit my teeth: "Do you want to say hello before coming out next time?" It didn't come out of nowhere, and I was scared to death, who was still asleep. ”

The little ghost said: "Then you get up and play with me." ”

I was tired of a day and didn't have any energy, so I said, "Child, if you don't sleep at night, you won't be tall." ”

"We don't have to sleep. You just don't want to get up and play with me......"

"Brother, brother, can you play by yourself? I'm human, I don't want to sleep now, how can I work tomorrow? Well, you go outside and build a snowman or something, and add an extra stick of incense to you tomorrow night. ”

"Really!" Hearing the word incense, its eyes lit up, and it immediately stood up, its bare body bouncing up, and although I tried to control myself, my eyes still involuntarily aimed at the bird between its legs.
