Du Xiaobai stood behind An Qi, looking at the very delicate Taoist temple in front of him, and his heart was full of surprise.

On the halfway up the mountainside where the cold wind is blowing, build a Taoist temple, and the old gentleman who lives in it is really very interesting!

Since he had been talking to An Qi just now, Du Xiaobai didn't notice at all that he had followed An Qi to the halfway point of Bai Shou Peak. As we approached the snow-covered area at the top of the mountain, the temperature was already a little cold.

When Du Xiaobai was about to take off his coat, An Qi stopped him and told him that he was a martial arts practitioner, and this low temperature had no effect.

The two climbed the stairs, and after climbing dozens of steps, Angel stepped forward and buckled the red wooden door.

After a while, the wooden door opened from the inside, and a little girl with a ball poked her head out.

The little girl was about eight or nine years old, wearing a Taoist uniform, and looked at Du Xiaobai and An Qi standing at the door with strange faces, as if she didn't believe that anyone would come here.

"Who are you looking for?"

The little girl looked the two of them up and down for a moment, then asked cautiously.

An Qi smiled slightly, slowly squatted down, and said softly, "Let's find Mr. Gu." ”

"Who are you, what are you going to do with him?"

The little girl felt Angel's kindness, but she was still very cautious.

"I am the daughter of the patriarch of the Fire Dragon Clan, my name is Anqi, this uncle...... This brother's name is Du Xiaobai, and he is a good friend of our Fire Dragon Clan, and we have some questions that we would like to ask Mr. Angel replied with a smile.

The little girl looked at the two of them again, lowered her guard a little, and said, "It turns out that you are the one the master is waiting for." ”

An Qi and Du Xiaobai were slightly stunned, and did not react for a while.

"There is a senior brother who is sick, so the master went up the mountain to collect medicine, you can go in and wait, and you can go up the mountain to find him. The little girl continued.

"Little girl, did you just say that Mr. Gu was waiting for us?" asked Anqi strangely.

"Yes, I haven't been out for two days, if it weren't for my brother's illness coming too suddenly, he wouldn't have gone out today. The little girl replied.

"So, how soon will it take for the gentleman to come back?" asked Angel.

The little girl looked up at the sky and replied, "Before sunset, you should be able to come back." ”

An Qi and Du Xiaobai glanced at each other, turned their heads and said, "Then let's wait here for Mr. to come back." ”

The little girl nodded and left the door open: "Please come inside." ”

Angel and Du Xiaobai entered the door with their front and back feet, and the little girl closed the door, walked in front of the two and began to lead the way.

Walking through a corridor, the view ahead suddenly opens up.

The overall area of the Taoist temple is not large, boxy, the center is the courtyard, and there is a square incense burner in the center of the courtyard, and the smoke is curling. All around are the doors of the open house, except for the north side of the main hall on the door of a plaque hanging, the other rooms are the same appearance, simple and unpretentious without decoration, can not see any difference, the whole Taoist temple inside the feeling is simple.

"You two shouldn't have lunch yet, please wait in this guest room while I'll get you something to eat." The little girl pointed to the room on the west side.

"Okay, thank you. ”

After Angel finished speaking, she took the lead in the room on the west side.

Du Xiaobai stayed where he was, quietly looking at the words on the plaque above the main hall on the north side: The right way in the world. Suddenly, goosebumps rose on his body, looking at these four words, Du Xiaobai first felt an unprecedented pride, and then, his heart returned to an unprecedented calm.

These four words that often appear in the emperor's house are so quietly hung on the door of the main hall, plain, but full of endless tension, making Du Xiaobai feel for the first time as if he and these four words are old friends who have not seen him for many years.

"Little White Brother, what are you doing there?" An Qi shouted.

An Qi walked into the house just now and found that Du Xiaobai did not follow up, so she felt a little surprised, and went out of the house to look for it, only to find that Du Xiaobai was still standing motionless in the place just now.

"It's nothing," Du Xiaobai touched the back of his neck, and the surging mood just now made him a little excited, so that the blood still gathered at the back of his neck, making his skin a little itchy, "It's just those four words, it looks a little kind." ”

"Kind?" An Qi took Du Xiaobai into the room and sat down, and said strangely, "Why does Brother Xiaobai feel very kind." ”

Du Xiaobai sat on a quaint wooden chair, supported the handle of the wooden chair with both hands, smiled slightly, and said, "The meal is estimated to wait a while, do you want to hear a story?"

When Angel heard the story, her eyes lit up: "Listen! Of course!"

Du Xiaobai moistened his throat and said: "Many years ago, when I was still in the world, I once went to visit an art exhibition, and the person who held the exhibition was a very well-known painter in the world. At that time, I saw a painting in the exhibition hall with a strange pattern on it. On the pattern, there is a dining table, and on the dining table, there is a boiling pot, and in the pot, there are more than a dozen beating rice balls that are about to be cooked. And on the table outside the pot, there was a rice ball lying there quietly as if someone had leaked it. ”

Speaking of this, Du Xiaobai paused and closed his eyes, as if thinking about that distant memory. Seeing that he was silent, Angel said curiously: "Then what?"

Du Xiaobai opened his slightly reddened eyes and continued: "Many people think that this is just a static painting. So they didn't pay much attention to it, they passed by the painting, and almost all of them just glanced at it and left. But I was instantly fascinated by the painting. ”
