Chapter 42: The Ancient Temple
Early the next morning, as soon as dawn broke, Ye Boyu woke up, looked back and saw Zi Yan leaning on the head of the bed and sleeping soundly, and couldn't bear to wake her up, so he pushed open the door and walked outside the courtyard.
I saw that the surrounding green mountains were surrounded, and the Shu Road on the top of the mountain could be seen in the distance, like a long dragon in the lofty mountains, winding in the clouds. The mountain village falls under the foothills, and the morning fog has not yet completely cleared, and the air is still filled with the fresh smell of dewdrops. Ye Boyu only felt refreshed, and yesterday's fatigue was swept away.
When he was looking around, he suddenly heard someone behind him shouting, "Brother Ye, why did you get up so early?"
Ye Boyu heard that it was Zhao San's voice, and hurriedly turned around and said, "I'm used to getting up early, and I can't sleep." Third Brother Zhao, why are you so early?"
Zhao San said with a smile: "Brother Ye, you don't know, on weekdays, I must sleep until dawn before getting up, and your sister-in-law complains that I am lazy every day." However, recently, a few outsiders came to the village, and they practiced in the bamboo forest at the edge of the village early in the morning. So I go to the bamboo forest early in the morning to learn kung fu these days, and maybe it will come in handy in the future. "
"I see. Ye Boyu nodded and said, "Third Brother Zhao, I also want to learn kung fu, can you take my little brother to take a look and learn a few tricks?"
Zhao San laughed and said, "Take my brother to have a look, of course it's no problem." But I don't know if they teach you or not. "
"The third brother just takes me there, even if he doesn't teach me, I just want to open my eyes. Ye Boyu said with a smile.
"Good. Zhao San clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It's almost time to come, let's go." "
"What kind of good place are you two going? Ye Boyu and Zhao San looked back and saw Zi Yan standing at the door, looking at them with a smile.
"Sister Ziyan woke up. Zhao San said with a smile: "I just told Brother Ye that a few outsiders have come to the village recently to teach me to practice in the bamboo forest every morning. I was about to take Brother Ye over to take a look, what's the matter? Sister Ziyan is also interested?"
Zi Yan looked at Ye Boyu, Ye Boyu nodded slightly, Zi Yan smiled: "Such an interesting thing, how can I not go!" As she spoke, she walked out of the fence yard in a few steps and walked in front of Ye Boyu and Zhao San.
Ye Boyu and Zhao San smiled at each other, and the two followed behind Zi Yan and walked out of the chai courtyard.
The road in the village is a dirt road that people have stepped on for a long time, only less than two meters wide, and the road is covered with green grass on both sides, and unknown wildflowers bloom everywhere, and the dew on the petals is crystal clear and crumbling, which is very beautiful.
The three of them walked up the stream, walked through the platform at the entrance of the village yesterday, and then walked dozens of steps on a winding stone path to the east, turned a bamboo forest, and arrived at the bamboo forest clearing that Zhao San said.
Zhao San stopped and said loudly: "This is it, let's wait for a while, a few of them should be there soon." "
Zi Yan bent down, picked an unknown small flower, gently put it under her nose and sniffed it, exhaled a few times, and said with a smile: "It's so beautiful here!"
Zhao San smiled and said: "If Sister Zi Yan thinks it's good here, then you and Brother Ye will stay here, I think you two ......."
"Third Brother Zhao, what are you talking nonsense!" Zi Yan's face turned red, and she turned around and ignored Zhao San and Ye Boyu.
Zhao San sat on a big rock, laughing, Ye Boyu pretended to look at the surrounding scenery, but in fact, his eyes kept rolling on Zi Yan.
"Here they are. Zi Yan jumped to Ye Boyu's side in a few steps and said loudly.
Ye Boyu reacted at this time, and sure enough, there was an unusually slight sound of footsteps not far away, and he couldn't help but blush, just looking at Zi Yan just now, and forgetting all about the surrounding situation.
Zi Yan turned around and met Ye Boyu's eyes, and the two of them blushed and turned their faces at the same time.
Zhao San saw it in his eyes, and laughed again.
"Third brother, what is the happy event today? Happy to be like this early in the morning? Is it that my sister-in-law approved you not to go to the mountains to collect firewood today?" a crisp woman's voice came.
Ye Boyu and Zi Yan hurriedly looked back, only to see three people quietly appearing on the edge of the bamboo forest, all three of them were wearing civilian clothes, they couldn't see what their origin was, the leader was a middle-aged man in his forties, slightly fat, and behind the fat man stood a middle-aged beautiful woman and a young man in his twenties. Ye Boyu swept his thoughts, but found that the cultivation of these three people was mediocre, at most it was the level of the early stage of qi induction, which was far from himself.
It was the beautiful woman who spoke just now, and she was not surprised when she saw Ye Boyu and Zi Yan, and said with a smile: "Third Brother Zhao, your two friends are ......."
Zhao San hurriedly stood up, walked in front of the three of them, pointed at Ye Boyu and Zi Yan and said, "This is Brother Ye Boyu, this girl's name is Zi Yan." They got lost in the mountains last night, and I brought them to the village to spend the night. "
The beautiful woman laughed, "No wonder. I looked at the face. This Ziyan girl is so handsome. "
Zi Yan's face turned red again, and she was about to speak. The fat man in the lead said, "Yunqi, don't be crazy like this all the time, okay." He said to Ye Boyu: "Wang Yunyang, a nominal disciple in Lower Kunlun Mountain, these two are my cheap and dogs." "
Ye Boyu arched his hand and said, "Senior Brother Wang is good." In Xia Ye Boyu, this is my friend Zi Yan. "
Wang Yunyang said again: "A few of us are traveling everywhere, a few days ago we came here, and saw the beautiful scenery in this village, like a paradise, this has only been around for a few days, I don't know ...... Brother Ye."
Ye Boyu once heard the third uncle say that there are many sects in the rivers and lakes that have nominal disciples. The Kunlun sect is the leader of the sword sect, and there are countless disciples in the sect, among which there are countless nominal disciples, these nominal disciples are not in the list of official disciples of the sect, and they do not have to abide by the rules and precepts of the sect, they only need to abide by the most important sect rules, and they only do some basic things on weekdays, practicing some introductory Tuna meditation techniques, and there is no cultivation.
When Ye Boyu heard that these three people were just nominal disciples of the Kunlun faction, he relieved himself and said: "Zi Yan and I came to this Jianmen Shu Road to play, greedy for the beautiful scenery, and walked for a while, but I didn't expect to get lost and trapped in the mountains, but fortunately I met Zhao Sange, so I rescued the two of us." "
Zhao San laughed when he heard this, and said, "Okay, everyone knows each other." Brother Wang, what moves did you teach me today? I came early in the morning with Brother Ye and Sister Ziyan. "
Ye Boyu and Zi Yan both pretended not to know any martial arts, and smiled on the side without speaking.
That fat man Wang Yunyang, looking at Ye Boyu, was about to speak. Zhao San asked again, "Hey, that's not right." Brother Wang, why didn't that Brother He Yunqing come today?"
Wang Yunyang said: "My brother-in-law He Yunqing only knows how to play on weekdays. Yesterday I heard that there was a mountain temple in the back mountain in the west, and yesterday I yelled to go there, and I drank it. No, it's not dawn today, so I went by myself. As he spoke, he looked at the beautiful woman and shook her head.
When Zhao San heard this, his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly asked, "Brother Wang, the mountain temple you are talking about is the mountain temple in the mountainside behind the West Mountain?"
Wang Yunyang looked at Zhao San's expression was wrong, and he didn't know why, and said, "Yes, are there still a few mountain temples that can't be built?" The beautiful woman and the young man also looked at Zhao San strangely.
Zhao Sanyi slapped his thigh and said loudly: "Brother Wang, you don't know, that mountain temple is haunted, it's been more than half a year, and no one dares to go up, so why did He Yunqing go there?"
"Haunted?" asked in unison.
Wang Yunyang asked loudly: "Say it quickly, what kind of haunting method?"
Zhao San fixed his mind and said word by word: "This mountain temple is nothing, it is a small temple built by the people in the village a long time ago. But in the past six months, people have often seen the lights of the mountain temple late at night, and occasionally some figures can be seen. I went to the mountains after dawn to see, but there was nothing. Two months ago, the son of the village chief took a few young and strong young men to the mountains to check during the day, but found nothing, but who knows, that night, several people bled to death, and no reason was found. Therefore, the village said that the mountain temple was haunted, and no one dared to go there. "
After hearing this, several people looked at each other, and after a long time, the beautiful woman shouted: "It's not good, isn't my brother Yunqing very dangerous, let's go and save him." "
Wang Yunyang stretched out his hand and made a gesture, signaling not to act rashly, and asked, "What kind of ghost is it, have you seen it?"
"No, no one has seen it. Zhao San said: "If something like this happens, who would dare to go up?"
When Zi Yan heard this, she rushed to Ye Boyu Nunu's mouth, Ye Boyu understood, and hurriedly said, "Third Brother Zhao, how did you get past that mountain temple?"
Zhao Sanyi panicked when he heard this, shook his head again and again, and said, "No, no." How can that kind of place be passed. Let's go and report to the village chief immediately, find dozens of people, and then make plans. "
Wang Yunyang hurriedly said: "Zhao San, the situation is urgent, I'm afraid it's too late to think about it in the long run." You hurry up and tell us the specific location of the Mountain Temple, and we will rush to rescue He Yunqing. "
Zhao San was helpless, pointed to the west with his hand, and said: "The mountain temple is behind the mountain of that mountain, but, Brother Ye, you and Sister Zi Yan still don't go, you two don't know martial arts, wouldn't it be in vain to die if you go." "
Zi Yan smiled and said, "It's okay, Third Brother Zhao." How many people are good to take care of. Besides, we are blessed with great fortune and will be fine. "
Zhao San couldn't resist a few people, so he had to nod and agree, and he had to go with a few people, but Wang Yunyang stopped him again and again, so he didn't let Zhao San go.
According to the direction pointed by Zhao San, a group of five people hurriedly went on the road and went to Yamamoto behind the West Mountain.
Along the way, Ye Boyu and Wang Yunyang walked side by side. Wang Yunyang asked as he walked: "Ye Shaoxia, I know that you two are absolutely not very human, what kind of sect are you two from, can you see the teaching?"
Ye Boyu smiled and said, "In the Lower Eight Desolation Sword Sect, Senior Brother Wang forgives me. "
Where had Wang Yunyang heard of the name of the Eight Desolation Sword Sect, but Ye Boyu refused to reveal his mentorship, and he didn't ask anymore, just hurried away.
That mountain temple is actually not far from Xiangshuixi Village, over a mountain, and then walk more than ten miles of mountain road to arrive. A few people were fast, and in less than half an hour, they turned over the mountain and came to the bottom of the back mountain, and when they looked up, they could already see that there was indeed a small temple on the mountainside.
"It should be the mountain temple in front of you. Wang Yunyang stopped and said in a low voice, "We have to be careful. "
Ye Boyu and the others nodded, Ye Boyu secretly carried his divine thoughts, and sure enough, he found that there was a trace of black gas around the small temple, but it was very faint and light. Zi Yan approached Ye Boyu and asked in a low voice, "How is it?"
Ye Boyu said in a low voice: "There is something wrong, but it is very inaccurate, and we have to check further." "
Zi Yan said in a low voice: "Then you have to be careful." Ye Boyu nodded.
Wang Yunyang and others discussed how to enter the temple to save people, and after discussing for a while, there was no good way, so they had to decide to go up first at dawn to find out the situation.
