Saturdays, boys' dormitory.

Pu Xingyuan sat on the bed, looked at Chen Zhenyi, who was packing up his things, and said, "Niu Nose, why don't you go back, it's a day and a half, and you have to come back tomorrow afternoon, aren't you tired?" ”

Chen Zhenyi stuffed the dirty clothes into his schoolbag, pulled the zipper, sat on the bed, let out a long breath, and said, "I'm no better than you!" It's all harvested in autumn, the potatoes planted by the second master should be harvested, I have to go back to help him, okay, I'm leaving."

The two walked out of the dormitory, and the campus was full of students preparing to go home.

Walking on the tree-lined path in the middle, I saw the Chinese teacher Kong Xianhe walking towards them from a distance. The familiar warm breath came to his face, and Chen Zhen hurriedly asked, "Re-education through labor prisoner, do you feel anything?" ”

"What?" Pu Xingyuan asked seriously, but there was a malicious smile on the corner of his mouth.

Seeing Pu Xingyuan's appearance that he was about to get off the set, Chen Zhenyi said: "Forget it, I won't break with you."

"No, why don't you go to my house in a while? My parents happened to be absent from ......."

"Roll the calf......"

Chen Zhenyi left Pu Xingyuan and walked quickly to the school gate.

When he was two meters away from Kong Xianhe, he stood down and greeted him with a smile: "Teacher is so ......"

The elegant and handsome Chinese teacher smiled and said, "Are you going home?" ”

"Yes, Teacher"

Pu Xingyuan, who was behind, followed, grinned, nodded and said, "Teacher Kong......"

Teacher Kong glanced at the two of them and said, "I just came to Qiunan, are there any places of interest or anything near here?" ”

Pu Xingyuan is a descendant of Tufuzi, and he is very familiar with the historical sites and tombs around Qiunan, and said: "Teacher Kong! Our Qiunan is relatively remote, and if you want to talk about some ancient tombs and the like, it is this monument, and there will be no more."

"Tombs?" Teacher Kong was puzzled.

"Hehe, in fact, it's not a serious ancient tomb, it's just the tomb of some landlords for more than 100 years," Pu Xingyuan explained.

"Then forget it......"

"Teacher Kong, there is a Taoist temple, it is said to be an ancient building in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, I don't know if you are interested" Chen Zhenyi remembered the Taoist temple on the south mountain of Zhonglin Village.

"It's been abandoned for many years, and now it's all about to collapse, what's there to see," Pu Xingyuan argued.

When he was a child, before his father bought a house in Qiunan, he and Chen Zhenyi visited the Taoist temple, which had nothing but one-person-high weeds and a dilapidated courtyard.

"It used to be really dilapidated, but now it's different, my second master found someone to clean it up, and now many people in the village go to burn incense inside, and they also found a mural on the wall of the side hall, I heard the second master say that the painting is "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing" Chen Zhenyi said.

"Really? Far from here? Mr. Kong seemed to be in high spirits.

"There are seven kilometers on the south mountain of Zhonglin Village, but they are all mountain roads, which are not easy to walk," Chen Zhenyi explained.

"Who is afraid that the road to the rock is unclimbable, we will be at the top of the mountain today, take a look at the mountains, and go to see your Zhonglin Village, how about it?" Teacher Kong was very excited, but still tried to maintain elegance.

Pu Xingyuan's face was embarrassed, and he whispered: "Teacher Kong, I won't go, that, you go with Chen Zhenyi, I'll go first......", said and left quickly.

, don't pay attention to righteousness, Chen Zhen glared at Pu Xingyuan, and said with a smile: "Teacher Kong, let's go?" ”

"Go ......"

______

Zhonglin Village, Nanshan.

The grass and trees all over the mountain have been draped in pale yellow, and there are large red dots in the middle.

In late autumn, the temperature in the mountains has dropped considerably. In the few acres of thin fields reclaimed on the slope, farmers are digging potatoes.

Potatoes are the last crop, and when the potatoes are harvested, they enter the slack time. No one remembers the history of Zhonglin Village, but from the dilapidated Taoist temple on the mountain, people are surprised to find that it was inhabited as early as the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty.

The recent mural paintings found on the walls of the Taoist temple seem to have made the history of Zhonglin Village a little more distant, as if it can be traced back to the Northern Song Dynasty, perhaps, even earlier.

After a simple renovation, the Taoist temple came back to life.

The Sanqing statue in the main hall has been restored, and it has the majesty and momentum of the gods, and the second master has re-named the Taoist temple: Sanqing Palace.

The rekindled incense planted a seed in the hearts of the villagers of Zhonglin Village, like a lost lamb smelling its mother again.

Second Master Chen's house is the closest to Sanqing Palace, so he naturally took on the responsibility of the temple blessing, and went to the Taoist temple to ring the bell in the morning and evening.

Surrounded by mountains, the village of Zhonglin suddenly lives under the protection of the gods.

Some old people insisted on going up the mountain to see it. In their memories, this dilapidated Taoist temple is painful and unforgettable, and many people in the village followed the year when the gods died from life.

Later, the reason why they didn't want to open that door again was because they didn't want to remember.

Now, the reason why they have to go up the mountain is also very simple, not for the original Sanqing statues in the Taoist temple, but for those former old brothers.

Regarding these past events, Chen Erye and Chen Zhenyi don't know about it, even people in the village who are 60 years old and below don't necessarily know it, and there are still some memories, and there are less than five people left, all of whom are old people.

At this time, a withered old man, bent over his waist, stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the opposite mountain, silent.

Behind the old man, two men in their thirties, sweating profusely. The old man was their grandfather, and he had brought him up from the bottom of the mountain.

"Go, call Master Chen out" Although the old man's legs and feet are inconvenient, his speech is quite imposing.

One of the men whispered, "Master, this is all up, you can go in."

The old man didn't look back, pressed the weight of his whole body on the crutches in his hand, half-lying on his stomach, and repeated coldly: "Go and call Master Chen out."

The grandson knew the stubborn temper of this grandfather, shook his head and walked into the Sanqing Palace.

After a long time, Second Master Chen walked out of the Sanqing Palace and said with a smile: "Lu Bo, why are you here?" ”

The old man still didn't look back, and sighed: "Master Chen, this view can't be opened!" ”

Second Master Chen looked at the two young people, as if asking, the faces of the two young people were also full of doubts, the second master strongly asked them to carry themselves up the mountain, thinking that he wanted to come to worship God, but he didn't think that he suddenly said such a thing, they were also monks of the second brother, and they were confused.

Second Master Chen didn't know what Lu Lao meant, so he said softly: "I understand what Lu Lao means?" ”

The old man withdrew his gaze from the distant mountain, slowly turned around, looked at Second Master Chen in front of him with his sunken eye sockets, and said, "This view is a scourge, it will bring disaster to Zhonglin Village, you better turn it off quickly!" ”

"Master, what did you say? Master Chen said that this view has the effect of Tibetan wind gathering qi, and our village has not had any big people in these years because this view has broken the incense and destroyed the feng shui. Besides, the people here are all gods, not monsters," said one of the young men.

"Alas! I'm not saying that immortals will bring disaster, it's this Taoist temple that will bring disaster, and there are five people in our Lu family who died because of this Taoist temple."

Second Master Chen suddenly realized, understood all kinds of reasons, and said: "Old Lu, you can rest assured that this view will not only not cause disasters to the village in the future, but will also make the six animals in the village prosperous, and the wind and rain will be smooth."

It is not the gods that the old man fears, but the human heart.

That unforgettable memory is like a striking scar, engraved on the hearts of a few people in the village, and the more time passes, the more terrifying it becomes.

The three gods of Sanqing Palace did not come to the rescue that year, and nearly half of the villagers of Zhonglin Village died on the platform at the feet of the old man.

————

On the mountain road, a slender and elegant man in a gray robe followed a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy and slowly climbed to the top of the mountain.

In the middle, when he met a villager who was busy in the fields, the teenager would greet him with a smile, and the elegant man would politely say hello.

As the two walked by, some young women lowered their heads and sneered, and the laughter echoed in the autumn wind, echoing in the middle of the mountains and forests.

Chen Zhenyi naturally understood the meaning behind the laughter of these women. Seeing this personable Chinese teacher, even the girls in the class who are just beginning to fall in love are also, not to mention these women who are accustomed to seeing vulgarity in this ravine all year round, in front of such an elegant and gentle man, who can not be excited?

Looking at the steep mountain, Kong Xianhe couldn't help but sigh: "The green mud is a panpan, and the rocks and mountains are lingering in a hundred steps ......and nine folds."

"Mr. Kong, the mountain road in our Zhonglin Village is not as good as the Shu Road, you are exaggerating, right?" Chen Zhenyi stopped and glanced back at the Chinese teacher who also maintained a gentlemanly demeanor while climbing the mountain.

"Have you seen Shu Dao?" A hint of doubt flashed in Mr. Kong's eyes.

"That's not true, it's just that since the flight of the Yellow Crane in Shu Dao is not yet passable, the ape wants to spend his worries and climb, and this mountain road person can still easily climb up, how can it be compared?"

Mr. Kong smiled and said, "How do you know that Li Taibai's words are not an exaggeration? ”

Chen Zhen smiled and said: "Li Taibai is my idol, fighting the sword world, seeking immortals and imitating the Tao, this is my dream, so no matter how exaggerated I am, I feel that it is true."

Mr. Kong looked at Chen Zhenyi, his face was full of joy, and said loudly: "Are you willing to worship me as a teacher?" ”

Chen Zhenyi was a little puzzled, "Isn't Mr. the teacher's teacher?" ”

"It's different, I'm talking about mentorship rather than learning," Mr. Kong didn't seem to be joking.

Chen Zhenyi thought for a moment and smiled: "Mr. Kong, do you have a teacher?" ”

Chen Zhenyi kept staring at Kong Xianhe's face, trying to verify his guess from his expression, he always felt that the gentleman in front of him was not a modern person. Although this idea is a bit absurd, as Yin and Yang, he knows that there are many existences in this world that cannot be explained by science, just like he can see spirits.

Mr. Kong smiled heartily, hugged his fists and said, "I am a Confucian student, a teacher, of course, I am the most holy master of Confucius."

"It's the same as I thought, because you are all surnamed Kong, and besides, I can feel the aura of grandeur in you......" The smile on Chen Zhen's face disappeared, replaced by a serious and serious expression.

"Haha, you're wrong, the Holy Ancestor is not surnamed Kong ......" Mr. Kong's face changed as he spoke, and he opened the folding fan in his hand suddenly, and a strong force went straight to Chen Zhenyi.

Chen Zhen clenched his fists, and the yin and yang qi in his body emerged, colliding with the oncoming force in the air, causing the surrounding trees to shake violently and drop a lot of yellow leaves.
