Chapter Seventy-Three: The Red Lantern on the Road

When the tour guide heard Master Liu say that after the giant snake let them go, he wanted to leave very much. www.biquge.info But he was so frightened that his body kept shaking, and he couldn't move at all.

Master Liu also found that the tour guide couldn't move. He pulled the tour guide's arm several times, but the guide still couldn't go. In desperation, Master Liu walked to the front of the tour guide, then turned around, bent his knees and squatted slightly, he wanted to carry him on his back. The tour guide hurriedly said:

"Ah, that's embarrassing. I can go, I can go. Thank you. ”

So, the tour guide settled down, took a deep breath, and really took a step. Master Liu saw that he could go, so he hurriedly followed him. However, the tour guide almost slipped a few times, but it was Master Liu who supported him behind him before he stood firmly.

When he was about to walk to the entrance of the cave, the guide shone a weak flashlight on the entrance of the cave, shivered, and said:

"Oops, it's scary. Master Liu, come and see!"

Master Liu hurriedly followed the light of the guide's flashlight. After reading it, he was also taken aback.

It turned out that everywhere the guide's flashlight shone was poisonous snakes, and all kinds of poisonous snakes crawled all over the cave entrance and the ground at the entrance of the cave, and even the surrounding cave walls were crawling with poisonous snakes. These venomous snakes weren't as big as the giant snake, and they were ordinary snakes. However, it can be seen that many of them are poisonous snakes.

When Master Liu saw those poisonous snakes, he was also frightened and screamed "Ah!"

At this time, they suddenly heard a loud "sizzle, sizzle" sound not far behind them.

Soon, Master Liu and the tour guide understood that the loud "sizzle, sizzle" sound was that the giant snake was giving orders to these poisonous snakes.

Master Liu and the tour guide saw that with the "sizzle, sizzle" sound of the giant snake, these poisonous snakes slowly retreated. Finally, in front of them, the vipers exited the path more than a meter wide that led to the entrance of the cave. The vipers around the cave entrance also moved to the side.

Master Liu and the tour guide cautiously walked out of the cave from this road more than one meter wide.

Out of the hole, it was still pitch black outside. It's just that there is no longer a cliff ahead, but there are many steps and a road.

At this time, the light of the guide's flashlight can only illuminate the road under your feet, but not the road far away.

The tour guide said anxiously:

"The flashlight is running out, haven't we arrived yet?"

Master Liu said:

"It's coming, it's coming. ”

So, the tour guide patiently followed Master Liu for another while. Finally, the tour guide was so tired that he shouted to stop and rest.

At this moment, the peak turned around, and they noticed a bright light in front of them.

The tour guide hurriedly pointed to the bright light in front of him and said to Master Liu:

"Look, there's a light ahead, is there a house, or is there an electric street lamp?

Master Liu said:

"Well, it seems that it is indeed a section of the road in front of the Cloud and Mist Taoist Temple. We're really getting there this time. I guess it was probably the people from the Cloud Daoist Temple who lit the lanterns on the road. ”

The tour guide said:

"Lanterns, why don't you use electric street lights?"

Master Liu said:

"I told you, there's no electronics here. Yunwu Zhenren has been practicing for almost a thousand years, and he has been cultivating strictly according to the ancient method. Never use modern products. Candles are already considered to be very advanced lighting products of the Cloud and Mist Taoist Temple. ”

The tour guide said:

"Ancient? Then why bother? Isn't an electric street lamp brighter than a lantern with a candle? And it's not afraid of the wind. ”

Master Liu shook his head and said:

"You can't say that. This is a place of pure cultivation, and only by cultivating with ancient methods can you become an immortal. People who like to use modern products are suitable for entering the modern society and should not be cultivated here. You, after all, are modern people, Yunwu real people have been cultivating for a thousand years, and they will soon ascend to the immortal realm and become immortals. Why do you still need modern products? Have you ever heard of the street lamps that use telephones and electricity in the fairy world? Only those of us in the world need them! Therefore, we are all lay people, and we are so happy to use telephones and electric lights. Hehe, we are all only fit to live in the modern world. Becoming immortals, in my opinion, is not something we are happy to do, even if we become immortals. To save the world, we are also for the sake of being a better person in the world, not to become immortals. ”

The tour guide said:

"Who's to say it's not? I didn't want to become an immortal. Save the world, alas, if you don't save the world, we're all finished. You're right, saving the world is also for the sake of being able to be human in the world, not to become immortals. Oh, by the way, tomorrow, I have to reason with my wife, who has been missing for more than 20 years! Is it too much for her to be away from home for more than 20 years?"

Master Liu said:

"Well, I'm going to have to reason with her. ”

They walked as they spoke, and soon came to the road where there were lanterns.

They saw that these lanterns were all red, and each lantern had the words "Cloud and Mist Taoist Temple" written on it in gold lacquer.

Master Liu frowned, and he muttered:

"Why is it a red lantern, and it's also a gold lacquer letter? This is not the consistent practice of the Cloud Mist Taoist Temple!"

The tour guide said:

"What's wrong? Isn't it?"

Master Liu said:

"That's not right! The Cloud Mist Taoist Temple is a place where the Cloud Mist True Immortal cultivates immortals, and it has always only used white lanterns and black fonts!"

Master Liu wondered as he walked forward with the tour guide.

After walking a little further, I saw that the trees on both sides of the road were also hung with strips of colorful cloth for decoration. If you go further, you will be able to see the gate of the Cloud and Mist Taoist Temple in the distance.

Master Liu and the tour guide saw that even the tall archway of the Cloud and Mist Taoist Temple was full of lights.

It seems that there are still several Taoist priests who are busy hanging red lanterns around the Cloud Mist Taoist Temple.

Master Liu and the tour guide looked at each other and felt as if something was going on here.

When Master Liu saw a Taoist priest sweeping the steps, he walked over to give a salute and asked:

"Dare to ask this Dao Master, is this the road to the Cloud Mist Taoist Temple?"

When the Taoist priest heard someone asking, he looked up at Master Liu carefully, and then he immediately put the broom aside, hurriedly returned the salute, and replied:

"Yes, this is the way to the Cloud Mist Taoist Temple. Isn't this Master Liu? Why don't you know if it's this way? Master Liu, why did you suddenly come to this Taoist temple at this time?"

Master Liu hurriedly said:

"Oh, I think it's the right path, too. But this red lantern is so strange! Isn't this a place of pure cultivation? Why is it also hung with the joyful things that add to the excitement of this world? I remember, there have always been white lanterns in black fonts! And why, it's already this time, so late, and it's still sprinkling?"

After hearing this, the Taoist priest turned around and looked at the red lanterns that the other Taoist priests were still busy hanging, he smiled and replied:

"Master Liu doesn't know. Lanterns of this color are only hung once in a thousand years! Today, the Taoist temple is full of lanterns to celebrate the cloud and mist master of this Taoist temple, and finally the merits are complete, and after a thousand years of cultivation, tonight you will be able to become immortals and soar into the immortal realm. It's also a coincidence, probably Master Liu is also a person with immortal fate. I was able to come to this Taoist temple at this time. ”

As soon as Master Liu heard this, he became worried and happy, happy that Yunwu Zhenren had finally become an immortal, and worried that he was afraid that this trip would be in vain. Yunwu Zhenren became an immortal tonight, so I'm afraid it will be impossible for him to go down the mountain to save people. Immortal fate and immortal time cannot be missed, if you miss it, you don't know when you will have it again.

Even if Yunwu Zhenren is willing to save people, but it takes a thousand years of cultivation for Yunwu Zhenren to become an immortal, so it is really unreasonable to let him miss the immortal time and wait.

Master Liu sighed. The tour guide also sighed.

The Taoist priest noticed that the emotions of the two of them were wrong, so he hurriedly asked:

"Master Liu, what's the matter?

Master Liu looked at the tour guide, and then replied:

"This is my friend, and we came to Guiguan to find help. I hope that Yunwu real people will save people. However, how can this be good, how can Yunwu Zhenren let him go down the mountain at this time? ”

After hearing this, the Taoist priest nodded, shook his head again, and said:

"Oh! I see. Oops, this, this...... It's not easy. The Cloud Mist Master Ancestor cultivated for a thousand years before becoming an immortal, and if he missed the immortal time this time, he didn't know how many years he would have to wait!

After hearing this, Master Liu and the tour guide also shook their heads.

Master Liu said:

"Since we're here, let's go pay a visit to Yunwu Zhenren to see if he has any other options, and see if there is anyone else who can help. ”

The Taoist priest nodded and said:

"Well, too. The Cloud Mist Ancestor may still be doing his final exercises at this time. When he finishes practicing, he will go to bathe and change clothes, and then burn incense and make exercises, waiting for the immortal time to ascend to the immortal realm and become an immortal.

So, let's do it here, please. Master Liu is an acquaintance of Benguan, so just go in by yourself, right? You don't need me to lead the way, right? Just follow this road. I'm going to have to sweep the road quickly, and everyone will be busy, and I'll lead the way, and no one will do it. Before the time of immortality comes, all these sprinkling and sweeping things must be done. ”

Master Liu hurriedly said:

"Thank you, Chief, you're busy. We'll just go in on our own. I just don't know when the fairy time is?"

The Taoist priest shook his head and said:

"Just tonight, when exactly, I don't know. However, it will be an hour away at the earliest. ”

After hearing this, Master Liu nodded, then saluted again, and walked along the road with the guide to the Taoist temple.

After the Taoist priest returned the salute, he continued to pick up a broom and sprinkle the steps.

The tour guide followed Master Liu, and saw many Taoist priests busy hanging red lanterns, sprinkling sweeps, and hanging colorful decorative cloth strips along the way.

Some of them greeted Master Liu when they saw him. Master Liu also returned the salute one by one. They were all busy, and no one asked anything more.

The road is long and winding, with red lanterns hanging on both sides of the road. The red lantern shrouded in a hazy glow of flickering candles. It looks pretty good.

When the tour guide saw this scene, he said to Master Liu:

"It's nice to see so many red lanterns this night!
