Chapter 36: The Ancient Dawn of the Sun (2)
Ding Lingxiu bought a map at the door, and the two walked along Xiuhu Lake. The Xiangyang Ancient Temple they are looking for is located in the Xiuhu Scenic Area at the northern foot of Qipan Mountain.
Overlooking Xiu Lake, a stream of clear water meanders and zigzags, forming a "Xiu" word, so it is called "Xiu Lake". The water of the magnificent and moving Xiuhu Lake is wide and clear, rippling with blue waves, like a pearl embedded in the mountains. The long shoreline of the lake and the vast waves of the water make people's hearts ripple. They also saw several newlyweds who were taking wedding photos on location standing by Xiuhu Lake, posing in various loving poses.
The two walked among the mountains and waters, chatting and laughing, and walked along the north bank of Xiuhu Lake, and finally found the long-lost Xiangyang Temple in the dense forest on the south bank.
The whole temple is lush and solemn, and the layout is naturally undulating according to the mountain.
Zhang Shanyi covered his eyes with his hand, looked at the temple on the stone steps from afar, and muttered:
"Something is wrong."
"What's wrong?" Ding Lingxiu also looked at the temple.
"Why doesn't this Xiangyang Ancient Temple look like an old temple?"
"Xiangyang Ancient Temple was built in the Ming Dynasty, located in Huishan Ancient Temple, and later with the passage of time, it fell into disrepair and was damaged. In the fifties of the last century, it completely disappeared, leaving only the remnants of the monument. Later, in modern times, the government rebuilt this ancient place. Ding Lingxiu squatted on a stone step and lit a cigarette with his back to the temple.
"Oh, I see, can you find the door of the underworld in this new temple?" Zhang Shanyi asked.
Ding Lingxiu smiled, did not answer, and continued to smoke.
After a short rest, the two walked up the mountain path where the pine trees covered the sun and the shadow of the sun were mottled by the mountain path, and at the end of the stone path was the north gate of Xiangyang Temple. However, the beginning of this mountain path was a path hidden in the deep forest, and the road was led by Ding Lingxiu, and except for the two of them, there were hardly any other pilgrims or monks to be seen along the way.
Looking at the palace of the treasure temple closely, the plaque of the temple door is hung high, engraved with the words "Twin Peaks and Green Water", the two climbed to the top of the stone steps, and were about to enter the glorious treasure temple hall from the back door, suddenly Ding Lingxiu stopped, and looked ahead indifferently.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Shanyi asked.
"Why would anyone do a show here?" Ding Lingxiu muttered to himself.
Zhang Shanyi heard Ding Lingxiu say this, and couldn't help but look ahead. His eyes fell on the hall, and sure enough, he found that on the other side of the temple gate, there were two young people who seemed to be recording some program. A man with a large head wears a large beige cap and carries a video camera over his shoulder. The girl next to her was wearing a puffy skirt and a magician-like hat, as if she was cosplaying. But this situation is not surprising if it is done in other places, but at the moment it is actually carried out in a temple, which is indeed a bit unbelievable, could it be that the anime characters imitated by the girl are related to the temple?
"Really, they're dressed in weird clothes." Zhang Shanyi said.
Ding Lingxiu glanced at him, thinking that you, a man in a T-shirt, shorts and slippers, was embarrassed to say that others were wearing strange clothes.
The two of them tried to avoid the camera and stepped into the temple door from the left, trying to walk past them quickly, but they didn't expect the man in the cap to deliberately turn the camera lens to them, and the magician-looking girl jumped up and down.
"Handsome guy! Handsome guy! Would you like to do me a favor? The girl blinked her big watery eyes and grabbed Ding Lingxiu.
Ding Lingxiu was stunned for a moment, and out of instinctive reaction, he quickly took out the demon compass. Of course, the Demon Hunting Compass didn't react at all.
So, Ding Lingxiu replied indifferently as always:
"I'm sorry, beauty, we still have important things to do, and we're in a hurry."
"Handsome guy, don't be like this, just help, it won't take you too long." The girl tugged at the corner of Ding Lingxiu's clothes, not relenting, Ding Lingxiu looked at the camera, and felt that it was not appropriate to refuse too firmly, and was a little at a loss.
"This ......" Ding Lingxiu smiled helplessly and looked at Zhang Shanyi.
Zhang Shanyi's eyes lit up, and his face was full of energy.
"Handsome guy, I'm a trainee magician, I'm doing a show around, look, that person is our cameraman!"
The girl smiled and pointed to the man in the cap behind her, who nodded to them.
The girl's hands are white, slender and delicate, and she fingers at her hand, just like a jade butterfly flying in the air, this sunny and lovely Lori, in fact, this kind of girl is the type that Zhang Shanyi has always liked, Zhang Shanyi stared at her, and she looked a little straight.
The girl's face blushed and continued to ask coquettishly,
"Handsome guy, do you say yes or not?"
Ding Lingxiu didn't wait for an answer, but Zhang Shanyi nodded hurriedly and said:
"Yes, yes, how are you going to change?"
Ding Lingxiu looked at him with disdain, thinking that this sanctimonious guy was really getting more and more exposed.
But Zhang Shanyi suddenly remembered that this was in front of the camera, so he showed a reserved smile to the camera.
"Okay, just let him cooperate with you." Ding Lingxiu pushed Zhang Shanyi to the front.
Overjoyed, the girl jumped over to a suitcase in the corner, rummaged through it for a while, and took out a huge crystal ball and walked back in a hurry.
Zhang Shanyi looked at this crystal ball, and the ominous premonition in his heart suddenly came back again, but he didn't find any demonic spirit in these two people, and he also promised this Lori again and again, and now he is embarrassed to retreat.
The girl walked back, shook Zhang Shanyi's hand and said:
"Come on, handsome guy put his hand on this crystal ball."
Zhang Shanyi's face turned red all of a sudden, and he shyly put his hand on the crystal ball.
The girl held his hand and taught him how to do it step by step, with a serious expression on her face, Zhang Shanyi felt that her hand was very tender and soft, and she was happy to be fiddled with by her like this, and her heart suddenly bloomed. Even began to feel that his luck was not so bad, after all, the peach blossom luck was not bad.
Ding Lingxiu stared at them intently, he always felt that these two people were not quite right, but like Zhang Shanyi, he didn't feel the reason for this strange feeling.
"Well, tell me, I'm completely willing to do this magic! I will suffer any consequences of the magic! The girl said with a grin.
Zhang Shanyi just opened his mouth, but he was a little hesitant, because this sentence sounded a little scary, he looked at Ding Lingxiu, Ding Lingxiu's face was expressionless.
The girl gave him an encouraging smile, and he read it word by word.
As soon as the words fell, a strange green light appeared in the crystal ball, which was extremely dazzling.
Zhang Shanyi was taken aback, and Ding Lingxiu was also shocked by this scene, it was really amazing that an ordinary glass ball would change because of a sentence and flash such a dazzling light.
But as soon as the light dimmed, the girl took back the crystal ball, and seemed to have completely lost interest in the two of them, and walked away without looking back.
Zhang Shanyi was stunned for a while, and immediately became alert, and began to check his body, his wallet, mobile phone, and other things were not missing, Ding Lingxiu's eyes were solemn, but he didn't check his pocket and luggage, because his eyes never left the girl and the man in the cap.
"It's really strange two people, thank you and leave in a hurry." Zhang Shanyi looked at their distant backs and muttered.
"Hehe, what's the matter, you still want to hug the beauty, then you go to chase, and you haven't gone far." Ding Lingxiu said.
"Where do you want to go, just look at them and have no malice, I'm helpful."
"Okay, we still have to get down to business, let's go." Ding Lingxiu patted Zhang Shanyi, who was still unsatisfied, and walked towards the main hall.
At this time, next to the lake under the mountain.
The girl walked up to the man in the cap and gasped for air.
The cap man had also taken off the cap, revealing the horns under the hat, and it turned out that the cap man turned out to be a cow spirit.
"Huhu-it's so exciting, I actually stole a Taoist priest's Neidan, Mom, it scared me to death...... It's thrilling. The girl clutched her chest and was shocked.
"Hehe, I'll just say, with this artifact, no one will be able to find out, not even a Taoist priest with a high cultivation level." Niu Jing patted the crystal ball in his hand triumphantly, "How is it?" Look at me, no! ”
The girl glanced at him and replied coldly:
"Don't look."
