Chapter 453: Taoist Temple

"Taoist temple?"

Shen Chi and Vice General Lang spoke at the same time, both a little surprised.

The cliff is icy and snowy, and it is in the valley and moat, ordinary birds and beasts do not go, which Taoist will build the Taoist temple here?

The scout didn't know what was going on, but he said that it wasn't big, and it was only two rooms. It looks deserted, and it is estimated that there is no incense on weekdays.

Shen Chi asked if they had entered to investigate the situation, and the scout shook his head, a little embarrassed: "As soon as the subordinates approached, they were attacked with bows and arrows. The Taoist in that view had a bad temper and warned us and told us to get out!"

Shen Chi was silent, and Deputy General Lang said "Oops": "Several of you are all good players in the army, and you actually scared an old Taoist priest, which is really a shame for the sixth battalion."

Several scouts blushed, but Shen Chi pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go and see for myself."

Vice General Lang exclaimed, "Junior General Shen/Jun, if you go to the cliff, then ...... here."

"Give it to Adjutant General Lang." Shen Chi looked at him with a serious expression, "In the harsh environment of the cliff, there is a Taoist temple established, which means that there must be a way to Zhangzhou City. Otherwise, what do people eat and drink in Taoist temples, and what do they do for a living?"

"Just to be on the safe side, I'll go there and see for myself."

Vice General Lang felt that what Shen Chi said also made some sense, but he felt unstable when he left the huge army to him.

Shen Chi saw Vice General Lang hesitating, and comforted again: "Your Highness has gone to Ganzhou, and as soon as the war over there is stable, they will bring people over to support. Your Highness will be here at that time, are you still afraid?"

As soon as he heard that Li Jingmo would come, Vice General Lang suddenly became bolder.

He shook his shoulders, nodded and said, "Then you go, leave it to me for the time being."

Shen Chi let out an "um" and said, "If there is a way to enter the city over there, I will call someone to inform you."

"Okay."

After the two of them talked, Shen Chi ordered a few soldiers and left with them.

Several people rode their horses through the mountain, and after half an hour, they stopped at the entrance of the cliff.

The cliffs here are steep and full of ice and snow, and even the trees are towering to the sky, and when you look at it, you only feel deep and lonely.

The soldier muttered, "What kind of Taoist priest would build a Taoist temple here?"

Shen Chi also wanted to know, what kind of Taoist priest could stay at the bottom of this deep mountain cliff for several years?

When they arrived near the Taoist temple, they all dismounted and walked as a sign of sincerity.

The snow covered his ankles, Shen Chishen moved forward with one shallow foot, and about fifty steps away from the Taoist temple, a bamboo arrow came in the air.

The soldier exclaimed, "General/Soldier be careful!"

Shen Chi's eyes were only slightly condensed, but he didn't dodge.

The bamboo arrow, which was not very lethal, was just to warn them not to approach, so it was not aimed at him, but was inserted into the ground two steps in front of Shen Chi with great precision.

The tip of the arrow sank into the snow, leaving only the tail to tremble.

Shen Chi glanced at the bamboo arrow, stepped forward to pull it out, and then praised, "Good craftsmanship."

I don't know whether it was the man who made the bamboo arrows or the man who shot the arrows.

The soldiers marveled at his boldness, and felt that a few people in the Taoist temple were really powerless, but their hearts were relaxed.

Shen Chi continued to walk forward with the bamboo arrow, and a half-grown teenager finally came out of the Taoist temple, staring at them vigilantly and saying, "Hurry up, don't get close, otherwise don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless."

Shen Chi stopped in his tracks, clenched his fists and said, "I am Shen Chi, the deputy commander of the sixth battalion of the Beifu Army, under the command of the Seventh Prince, and I have come to see the Lord."

The boy paused, his expression changing from rejection to surprise.

He looked Shen Chi up and down a few times before saying, "Are you from the Beifu Army?"

Shen Chi nodded: "Exactly."

Then the boy said, "Is there anything that can prove your identity?"

Shen Chi took out the waist card from his arms and said, "This is the brand of our sixth battalion, and the soldiers behind me are all from the sixth battalion."

The uniforms of each battalion of the Beifu Army are different, and those soldiers stepped forward and called them young boys

Look at them closely.

The young man had only heard of the Beifu Army and had never seen it with his own eyes, so he couldn't identify what was true or false. However, although he was not limited on his face, he was very excited in his heart.

After taking a few more serious glances at Shen Chi, he said, "Wait, I'll go and tell Master."

Shen Chi nodded and watched him enter the Taoist temple.

In less than a cup of tea, the young man came out again, this time in a much more polite tone: "Master, please come in."

Shen Chi clenched his fists and said, "Thank you, Chief."

The young man was originally very curious about Shen Chi, and his curiosity also brought some yearning and admiration, and as soon as he heard this little word, he immediately exploded.

He glared and said, "I'm not a Dao Master."

Shen Chi looked at his clothes in surprise.

The young man looked down, raised his head and blushed and said, "I, I don't have any clothes to wear, Master picked the old clothes that Senior Brother used to change for me, and I didn't enter the Dao."

"I see." Shen Chi strode over and asked him, "What do you call little brother?"

The young man coughed lightly and said, "My name is Guo Xun."

Shen Chi called him "Little Brother Guo Wei", and then followed him into the Taoist temple.

The Taoist temple is really small, a main hall and a side hall, and then a courtyard that is not big or small.

The main hall is dedicated to the Taoist Sanqing gods, and there are other Taoist characters in the side hall, and there is a small room for them to sit and lie down.

Thick snow pressed under the eaves of the two halls, as if it was about to collapse in the next moment.

The scenery is not only bleak, but also dilapidated and desolate.

As soon as Shen Chi entered the gate, he saw an old Taoist elder with immortal wind bones coming out of the side hall. The other party bowed slightly to him and said, "The poor road is mysterious, I don't know that the general/army is coming, and I will miss the distance."

Shen Chi hurriedly clenched his fists and saluted back: "Xuanxu Daoist doesn't need to be polite, today it was Shen who took the liberty to come and bother you."

Xuanxu Daoist smiled slightly, but he didn't say anything, only asked Shen Chi to sit inside.

The Taoist temple was too small, and the other soldiers had nowhere to go, so they were greeted by the young man Guo Wei to the small kitchen behind the main hall.

This one doesn't look like much, but the kitchen and so on are all there. Because there was a fire in the hearth, everyone was crowded inside, and they only felt warm.

Guo Xun was curious about their war, his eyes were wide open, and he asked vigorously.

The soldiers also happened to want to know how to enter Zhangzhou, so they said a few words casually and began to talk to him.

Who knew that this child was not very old, but he was very fine, so he only asked them in turn, but did not say much else.

The soldiers couldn't do anything, so they simply didn't pay attention to him anymore, and Guo Wei was so anxious that Guo Wei scratched his ears and cheeks.

On the other hand, the atmosphere of the two people in the room is particularly harmonious.

After Shen Chi explained his intentions, the Taoist chief didn't ask much, and said directly: "There is indeed a road to Zhangzhou at the bottom of this cliff, but it is to enter the cave. The gap inside is narrow, and only one person can pass at a time, and if 10,000 soldiers and horses are to enter it, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time."

Shen Chi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "It's okay, as long as you can go into the city." Dijon guards the gates of the city and threatens the people, and if we do not secretly go in and join forces with the outside, I am afraid it will be difficult to break through the city for a long time."

The most important thing is that this chapter is its own, and if it is broken, it has to be repaired by itself.

Bloodless is the best policy.
