"How long will it take?" Yan Ruyu lifted the carriage curtain and asked.

"It's going to take half an hour. And at this time, you can't go up the mountain anymore, so you can only sleep under the mountain. Luo Zhen replied.

By this time, it was already dark, and it was time to hold the lights.

"It's better to sleep in the open than to bump in a carriage." Yan Ruyu said with a smile.

"When you get down the mountain, maybe it's going to be quite lively." Luo Zhen replied.

"There's a town down the hill?" Yan Ruyu was curious.

"That's not the road, every day there are people who miss the mountain and sleep at the bottom of the mountain, and there are still a lot of people, so every time the mountain is quite lively.

Speaking of which, the location of this Qingyun Temple is too partial, there is no store in front of the village, even if an inn is built at the bottom of the mountain for people to rest and sleep, the Taoist of Qingyun Temple does not agree. Luo Zhen explained.

He didn't run this line once or twice, and there were often people in Qingyang County who went to Qingyun Temple to pray for the statue of the gods, except for those few big families who had coachmen and carriages at home, and the others either walked all the way, or hired cars in the carriage and horse dealership.

"I see, sleeping in the wilderness, it's better to be lively." Yan Ruyu is now like a child going out, and she is happy when she hears the excitement.

Pulling the curtain down, Yan Ruyu held the candlestick in one hand, a ball of candlelight illuminated the carriage, and Gu Sheng turned sideways to flip through the book by candlelight.

"Childe, we will be at the bottom of the mountain in half an hour, but we have missed the time, and we have to stay at the bottom of the mountain for the night."

"I hear you." Gu Sheng replied and put the book aside.

The carriage was not as good as expected, especially after loading a bunch of things, and the space in the carriage was not large, and it was curled up in a panic after a long time.

"If Childe is tired, rest on the slave's lap for a while." Yan Ruyu reached out and stroked Gu Sheng's cheek.

"Forget it, I can't stretch my legs." Gu Sheng sighed.

He wanted to come, and tried it in the afternoon, but it was even more uncomfortable.

The only gain is that the smell on Yan Ruyu's body is very good, like a youlan, which is especially obvious in such a small carriage.

After another half an hour, the carriage gradually stopped.

"Childe, go down the mountain." Luo Zhen's voice came, and Yan Ruyu immediately opened the curtain.

Gu Sheng jumped down from the carriage and stretched his waist.

You can see that there are many people sitting on the side of the road in front of them, or lying on the ground with their clothes closed, most of them are not well dressed, and they have walked for most of the day or even a day to get here.

There were also many horse-drawn carriages parked on the side of the road, and bonfires were lit.

Such a scenery made Gu Sheng think of the campsite in the scenic spot.

"Childe, so many people are going all the way to the Qingyun Temple, just to go to Qingyunguan for incense." Yan Ruyu was quite vigilant, and jumped down with her own knife and followed behind Gu Sheng—the ten-pound goose wing long knife was already twice as heavy as that used by ordinary people, and it was also a two-handed knife.

But compared to Gu Sheng's one, it's just a knife.

"Gu Xianggong, I'll go and discuss with them and borrow something to eat under the bonfire." Luo Zhen said.

It's not cold at this time, so you don't need to light another fire.

After a while, Luo Zhen discussed with someone, came back to get dry food and water, and went over with Gu Sheng and the others.

On the other side were two carriages, seven people sat together, the middle was a foreigner with a fourteen or fifteen-year-old handsome girl, and the others were coachmen and nurses.

The so-called outsider is an idle job bought by the local tyrants and gentry, with no real power, that is, he has an identity, and the crown hat he wears is also different from the official crown hat, so he can be recognized at a glance.

"Excuse me." Gu Sheng stepped forward and arched his hand.

When the other party saw Gu Sheng's tall and majestic figure and handsome appearance, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he got up and said with a smile: "Don't bother, we meet by fate, and we just happen to be together." ”

Recently, Gu Sheng has grown three centimeters taller, with a height of 1.78 meters, which is definitely superior.

And the appearance is heroic and a little immature, and he is not very old at first glance.

As soon as the two parties sat down, they began to chat.

"Look at the direction, Xianggong is from Qingyang?"

"Not bad."

"I heard that Qingyang County also made a monster? Has the matter been resolved? Is it the hand that grew out of the Tao of Qingyun Temple? ”

"Also? It's solved. Gu Sheng pondered in his heart, it seems that there have been a lot of monsters recently.

"Those youkai are really hateful." The foreigner slapped his thigh and said indignantly:

"A few days ago, one of us was bewitched by a monster and brought it home, but there was only a deaf and dumb servant left in the door, and that miserable! Thanks to the action of the Dao Master of Qingyun Temple, that scourge was extinguished.

One of my visits this time is to offer incense, and the other is to invite another protector to go back. ”

"Shangping County?" Gu Sheng remembered that the county officials came to invite Xu Daoren before, but they were not invited, saying that they were going to Shangping County to get rid of demons.

"Yes, even you know?"

"I've heard a little." Gu Sheng nodded.

The foreigner talked about this topic for a long time, and as soon as the voice changed, he began to inquire: "Is the prime minister famous?" ”

"How's the age?"

"Parents are there?"

"Is there a match?"

Gu Sheng replied at first, and after a few words, he was a little speechless.

As soon as I looked up, I saw the girl next to the wailang looking at him with a shy and timid face, and her eyes were shining.

Gu Sheng wanted to say, "There is already a marriage contract" to push it over, but before he could speak, Yan Ruyu said on the side

"My son-in-law hasn't been married yet! Moreover, my son-in-law is erudite and talented, can write and martial arts, and is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting......"

After a few words, the eyes of the wailang became brighter and brighter, and he only felt that he was really a good son-in-law, but Yan Ruyu's voice changed: "But my son-in-law is about to go on a study tour, and I am afraid it will take a few years to come back." ”

"Confused! A manly man, it's not too late to start a family first and then start a business. The clerk said immediately.

"Don't listen to my maid, I don't have the idea of getting married for the time being." Gu Sheng pushed and glared at Yan Ruyu by the way.

As a result, I saw that Yan Ruyu's eyes were bent, and she must be snickering under the veil.

This little vixen has to teach her a lesson one day.

"Miss Yan is right, this time Xu Daochang killed the demon, Gu Xianggong also made a great effort, one person and one knife to stop the monster, otherwise the monster would have run away." Luo Zhen also said on the side.

The man's eyes brightened.

Gu Sheng secretly cursed in his heart.

What is it that is not touted when it should be touted, and what is it that is not touted when it should not be touted?

In the end, Gu Sheng couldn't stand the words that the wailang kept talking, and the girl's shy and timid eyes that were about to grow to him, and ran away after eating.

……

At night, he lay down in the carriage all night, and the next morning when he saw that everyone else had already gone up the mountain, Gu Sheng carried a knife and took Yan Ruyu to hang behind him.

The main thing is not to be entangled by that outsider again.

As for Luo Zhen, he was guarding the car at the foot of the mountain.

Qingyunguan occupies a small area, but the main hall is huge, and there is a four-meter-high, blue-faced, red-haired, and mace-holding Marshal Wen, the protector god of the Dharma, which looks extremely magnificent and has a sense of oppression.

There was only this statue in the main hall, which made Gu Sheng feel a little strange in his heart.

According to the travelogues he read, such a large Taoist temple is generally dedicated to multiple gods, and the protector god is usually in the side hall.

Only this Qingyun Temple is only dedicated to a protector god in the main hall.

Although he had a little doubt in his heart, Gu Sheng didn't take it too seriously, just thought about it for a while and threw it to the back of his mind.

Picked up a stick of incense and lit it, but at this moment he felt a tightness in his heart, and seemed to be a little uncomfortable.

Gu Sheng wondered in his heart, it was the first time he had this feeling these days.

His face did not move, and his eyes swept around, but he did not gain the slightest.

However, when he looked up at Marshal Wen, he was shocked, Gu Sheng felt as if the other party was looking at him, and there seemed to be a joke in his eyes.

Under careful attention, there is no abnormality, it seems to be an illusion just now.

Gu Sheng groaned for a moment, feeling that he was thinking too much.

Gu Sheng took Yan Ruyu with a stick of incense and left, and after leaving the hall, Yan Ruyu said in a low voice: "Childe, I felt uncomfortable in the hall just now, as if someone was looking at me." ”

Gu Sheng nodded, he felt the same way, so he left in a hurry.

However, looking at other people, there is no different color on their faces, as if they have this feeling with Yan Ruyu.

Gu Sheng thought about it for a long time and couldn't get the gist of it, wondering in his heart if it was because the Dharma Protector God enshrined in Qingyun Temple really existed, and he glanced at the two of them just now?

However, there is no way to verify this, so it can only be put aside.

I found a fourteen or fifteen-year-old little Taoist priest near the main hall and said: "I have an appointment with Xu Daochang, come to borrow a book to read, I don't know if Xu Daochang is here?" ”

"Shanxin is surnamed Gu?" The little Taoist priest asked, and when he saw Gu Sheng nodding, he said, "The master suddenly went down the mountain yesterday because of something, but he has already explained the matter before leaving, and Gu Shi can come with me." ”

The little Taoist priest said while leading the way: "The master said that if the good believer has nothing to do, he can stay in the temple for a few days, and the books in the view can be read by the good believer.

It can be as short as two days, or as slow as three days, and the master will come back. ”

"That's the best, it's hard work." Gu Sheng said with a smile.

In addition to wanting to read books, he also wanted to inquire with Xu Daoren about the cultivators, and it would not be in the way for a few days.
