"Mr. Chen, come with me."

Zhong Zhengyuan led Chen Changsheng to a thorny road, and with a wave of his hand, the weeds that were blocked by the road retreated to both sides.

As far as the eye can see, it is as if all these plants and trees have come to life.

Every time I walked forward, the grass and trees in front of me scattered to both sides.

Wherever you go, the weeds will quickly gather and cover the way you came.

Zhong Zhengyuan said: "Mr. Chen follows my steps, if you go wrong, the grass and tree spirits on both sides will point to the wrong way, and it will be difficult to get out again." ”

Chen Changsheng asked, "Is this a maze?" ”

When he looked over, he saw that the grass and trees and the formation were one, and this formation was indeed exquisite.

"The ancestors were close to the grass and trees, so they set up such a formation, firstly, to protect the mountain monarch and prevent those who have a heart from entering this place, and secondly, they are also afraid that the disciples in the mountains will go the wrong way and collide with the mountain monarch."

"What if a disciple in the sect gets lost here?"

"The grass and trees are spirits, they will inform me and others, and confirming their identities will show the way for those disciples."

"I see."

The two of them walked out into the depths until they came to the back of Tianji Mountain.

As far as the eye can see, there are flocks of vegetation and trees that cover the whole mountain, and you can't see anything in the mountains, insects and birds are singing endlessly, and you can hear the murmuring of the stream.

Zhong Zhengyuan's steps stopped in front of a stream.

He turned around and said: "Mr. Chen then remembered not to look at the feet, you and I will step on this stream and go up, this is a phantom array, do not look at the soles of the feet, the road is under the feet, otherwise we will fall back into the stream." ”

"Okay."

The two stepped into the stream.

Chen Changsheng seemed to be on the ground.

This kind of formation is also mysterious.

It can be seen how profound the heritage of this Tianji Mountain is.

I went up the stream and saw the distant stream flowing out of the dense forest.

Zhong Zhengyuan's pace stagnated, then he raised his hand and said with two fingers: "Please open the way to the mountain, the road is in front of you." ”

As his words fell, another rumbling sound was heard.

The hillside in front of me seemed to be split in half, and the trees spread out into a deep path, and at the deepest part of the path, a temple was faintly visible, and a little green smoke rose from it.

Zhong Zhengyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Chen, please." ”

"Please."

Walking into the quiet road, I walked for another quarter of an hour, and finally arrived at the temple.

Chen Changsheng looked up, and there was a plaque hanging on the temple, but there were no words on it.

At first glance, it is somewhat similar to the mountain temple.

Chen Changsheng asked, "The mountain monarch is also the righteous god of the mountain?" ”

Zhong Zhengyuan nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

This probably explains why the Mountain King has been around for so long.

entered the temple, and then saw Zhong Zhengyuan take out three incense candles from the desk on the side.

But Chen Changsheng's eyes were looking at the beam on the left side of the temple.

In his gaze, there sat a child in a white shirt with red lips and white teeth, shaking his legs and holding a peach in his hand, eating it gracefully.

"What is Mr. Chen looking at?" Zhong Zhengyuan asked.

Chen Changsheng retracted his gaze and was about to speak.

In the afterglow, he saw the child on the beam put his hand to his mouth and sighed, as if to remind Chen Changsheng not to tell him.

It's not that Zhong Zhengyuan didn't look anywhere, but he couldn't see this child at all, probably a means.

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng said: "It's nothing, just take a look." ”

Zhong Zhengyuan nodded, didn't care, and then said: "Zhong will ask Shanjun to appear, and Mr. Chen can be on the side for a while." ”

"Okay."

And when he came to the idol of the god, he lit incense by a candle and prostrated his head three times.

Chen Changsheng's gaze fell on the idol.

It is indeed the same as Zhong Zhengyuan said, like a child, wearing simple clothes, holding a lingzhi in his right hand and a fruit in his left hand.

But the strange thing is that this idol has no facial features, only a blank face, which inexplicably makes people feel a little weird.

Chen Changsheng couldn't help but glance at the child eating peaches on the beam again, the figure of this idol was no different from this child, it should be him, but why did the idol have no facial features?

Zhong Zhengyuan knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said with a sigh of relief: "Zhong Zhengyuan, the contemporary lamp holder of Tianji Mountain, invites Shanjun to see him." ”

He waited quietly, but there was no reaction in the temple.

Zhong Zhengyuan paused for a moment, then kowtowed again, and called: "Lao Fu Shanjun appeared to see it." ”

Chen Changsheng's gaze skimmed.

The child was eating peaches, as if he didn't want to deal with Zhong Zhengyuan, who was kowtowing to incense.

Chen Changsheng winked at the child.

The child shook his head, as if he didn't want to see Zhong Zhengyuan.

Chen Changsheng didn't understand why, but he didn't say anything.

Zhong Zhengyuan then tried several more times, but the result was no response and no movement.

Chen Changsheng said, "Mr. Zhong, could it be that Shanjun is resting at the moment?" ”

Zhong Zhengyuan smiled helplessly and said, "No, maybe Shanjun is playing somewhere in the mountains, and he doesn't have time to come for a while." ”

Shanjun has always been playful, and Zhong Zhengyuan, who is the person in charge of the lamp, couldn't be clearer.

"Shanjun seems to be very playful." Chen Changsheng said with a smile.

Zhong Zhengyuan whispered: "Mr. Chen whispered, Shanjun occasionally has a temper, you have to keep it in mind." ”

"Really?"

Chen Changsheng's gaze inadvertently glanced at the child on the beam.

The child had finished eating the peaches at this moment, and he also heard Zhong Zhengyuan's words.

He pouted and said, "Nonsense." ”

After that, I saw a peach pit falling.

"Smack." Suddenly, the peach pit fell on Zhong Zhengyuan's head.

Zhong Zhengyuan was stunned for a moment, then looked over,

Then the child also revealed his form, and jumped off the beam.

"Say bad things about me, I remember, and I'll hit my head next time." The child said.

Zhong Zhengyuan couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "Zhong knows his mistake, and he still hopes that the mountain gentleman should not mind." ”

"There you go." The child waved his hand, then looked at Chen Changsheng and said, "I want to talk to him." ”

Zhong Zhengyuan glanced at Mr. Chen after hearing this.

Chen Changsheng said: "Chen is fine, Mr. Zhong should go." ”

Zhong Zhengyuan nodded, and after saying something to Shan Jun, he withdrew from the temple.

After Zhong Zhengyuan left, Chen Changsheng and Shanjun were left in the temple, that is, the children in front of him.

The child came to the group and sat down.

"Sit."

His voice was immature, and seemed to be a little childlike, but it also seemed to be a little old and strange.

Chen Changsheng immediately sat down, and first arched his hand: "Chen has seen Shanjun. ”

The child raised his eyebrows, but suddenly leaned over and approached Chen Changsheng, and did not stop until his nose was about to touch Chen Changsheng's chin.

"How did you become like this?"

"The last time you saw me, didn't you still call me Lao Tzu? Why are you so polite this time? ”
