"Brush ......"

The swallow finally swooped down, like a sharp arrow, and when it reached the ground, it only took one wing, and its whole body crossed a graceful arc, just landing on the horse's back.

"Sir, there is a big city in front of you, about forty miles away, it should be Jade City." The swallow said to the raindrops, knowing that it was so late and it was raining so heavily, it was very unrealistic to go to the jade city, and then said, "But there is a temple in front, which is also very magnificent, I don't know if I can shelter from the rain." ”

"Okay."

Song You nodded and agreed.

Yucheng is the capital of the Jasper Country, very famous, is a pearl in the distant Western Regions, and is also the largest and most prosperous city after entering the Western Regions, almost opposite to the Shadu of Shazhou.

Since I left Shadu in the spring of last year, it has been a year and a half, and I rarely rest halfway, even if I go to the city to rest, it is only three or five or seven days. Because of the language barrier, there are barriers to understanding local customs, and the climate in many places is not very good, not prosperous enough, life is not very convenient, and it feels not interesting to stay for too long.

It's time to find a place to rest for a while.

Two days ago, I had a night talk with Zhang Yushi, and Zhang Yushi was also saying that Yucheng is prosperous, there are many Dayan businessmen, and there are also many Dayan people who have settled, and there are many people who can speak Dayan in the local area, at least the rich and nobles and the ruling class will more or less have a few words of Dayan.

I just don't know if he's talking about what happened a hundred years ago or what it is now.

"Is that gentleman still looking for that big demon?"

"There's no hurry, just let it be." Song You smiled slightly and looked up at the sky, "Maybe it's just ahead." ”

“……”

Hearing this, the swallow couldn't help but wonder.

The cat couldn't help but wonder.

It's just that the swallows are puzzled that they just walked out of the mountain of more than 100 miles, and the 40,000 soldiers were frozen there, and it stands to reason that if you want to find the big demon, that mountain is the most likely. However, the gentleman simply searched for it, and did not investigate it carefully, so he continued to move on. I don't know how he was sure that the big demon was not in that mountain, how he was sure that it was in front of him, and why he was confident.

The cat is puzzled by what kind of big demon, they have been catching demons in the mountains for two days, how can there be big demons?

Several people braved the rain and walked around a bend.

It was already too dark to see the way.

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning struck in front of several people.

The thunder light illuminated the undulating mountains ahead, the fried coniferous forests, and the golden temple at the top of the mountain ahead, which was fleeting.

A group walked towards it on a rainy night.

"Boom!"

Once again, the thunder light provided the illumination.

The temple occupies almost the entire mountain.

There are steps under the mountain, with the top stone, all the way to the temple gate, every few steps, there are small white towers on both sides, the golden top of the white marble, reflecting the thunder. After the thunder light is extinguished, the lights in the temple on the mountain can also be faintly seen, and the light and shade of different rooms are different.

Rainwater trickles down the steps.

The Taoist and his party walked up the stairs and soon arrived at the gate of the mountain.

The system of the temple is a little strange, roughly like the temple in the interior of Dayan, and there are some peculiarities, it seems to be integrated into the local architectural style, and the decoration is the same, a large number of gold plating, and some colorful cloth is hung at the door, which has a bit of exotic style.

"Tuk Tuk ......"

The Taoist took shelter from the rain under the eaves of the door and knocked on the door at the same time.

Soon there was the sound of footsteps inside.

"Squeak......

The temple gates were opened.

Inside was a little novice dressed in red and yellow monk's robes, looking at Song You strangely, clasping his hands together and bowing, and speaking to him in a puzzled tone.

The local dialect is spoken.

I just can't guess what he says if I don't understand it.

"Under the surname Song Mingyou, he is a native of Dayan Dao, passing through here, the road encountered heavy rain, and he had to come to disturb, hoping to ask for a place to shelter from the rain and spend the night." Song You didn't care if he understood it or not, he saluted him with etiquette and said, "I don't know if your temple will allow it." ”

Xiao Shami obviously did not understand what he said, and was stunned for a moment, and his face could not help but turn red, and then he looked him up and down a few times, bowed again, bowed his head and said a word, and then turned and ran into the back room.

Song You took advantage of the only remaining glimmer of light to look at his own cats and swallows one by one, and waited patiently here.

After a while, there were footsteps inside.

The little novice found a great monk.

As soon as the great monk saw him, he also bowed with him and said Da Yan: "The donor is from Da Yan? ”

Song You said the previous words again and asked to stay overnight.

Maybe the Great Yan people have a high status here, maybe the monks are kind-hearted, the great monk did not refuse, but was very enthusiastic, and hurriedly invited him in, and wanted to lead the horse for him, but found that the horse had no reins to hold, so he took his hand back.

Then he put the horse in the stable, and walked to the temple with Song You very enthusiastically to meet the abbot.

In fact, every room in the temple is lit with lights, some are candles, some are oil lamps, and the sound of chanting is heard everywhere, one after another, showing the diligence of the monks here.

That night, I also talked with Zhang Yushi about Buddhism here.

Buddhism came from the west, and it happened to pass through here, and now it is at its peak, and the Western Regions are full of temples.

Zhang Yushi has a special pair of eyes.

Others only see that the monks have virtue and cultivation, so they are respected here, there are carriages and horses, brocade clothes and jade food, Zhang Yushi sees that the monks are too high in social status and wealth income here, resulting in many local people want to become monks, so the temple's requirements for monks are getting higher and higher, and the monks have to forget to sleep and eat, study Buddhism all day long, improve their opinions, in order to mix up their reputation here.

Just like this temple.

Follow the great monk all the way forward, while walking and looking, there are constantly monks who heard that there is a Taoist from Dayan who came to the temple to spend the night, and they all came out to see him strange, and people continue to see him extraordinary, so they ran to other places in the temple, I don't know who to talk to, or to ask others to come and see.

Song You inevitably had the feeling of being looked at as a monkey, but he also looked at them one by one.

The temple is not small.

They walked several courtyards, and during this time, they continued to climb the ladders, as if they were walking to the top of the mountain, until the great monk brought them to the door of a large hall that was resplendent and luxurious compared to the imperial palace, and there were already several great monks standing waiting for them.

"Honored guest! Guest! ”

"Hurry up, please come in!"

"It's stormy outside, and the rain is crooked, so let's walk in......"

All with a distinctly Western accent.

"Thank you, mages."

Song You sat down in the main hall, with a futon under him, and a table in front of him, which was empty.

There are many candlesticks lit in the temple, which is also quite extravagant.

The cat was drenched and cowered next to him.

Everyone in the hall signed up for each other and had a brief conversation.

I heard that Song You really came from Dayan, and also came from Changjing, several great monks were in awe, and the monk who sat on the top of Song You got up at this time, and asked the monks outside the door to bring him honey water, and then seemed to be a little more enthusiastic about him, and asked him sideways, with a novel tone:

"Daoist Song is from the west, have you heard anything about that demon mountain?"

"Come from that side down there."

"No, no, no. From there, it's a different way now. The great monk said to him, "There used to be an old road that passed through the mountain with great demons, and once there was an army of Great Yan who passed through that road, carrying a lot of gold and silver that had been looted, but all the monsters were frozen there. It's still there, and no one dares to look at it. ”

When the other monks heard this, they also added one after another.

It seems that everyone is talking about it.

Perhaps this is the most mysterious thing in the local area, and when an outsider arrives, it is natural to be the first to tell him about it.

Song You was not modest this time, but said bluntly: "The road to take next." ”

"Huh?"

When many monks heard this, they were all shocked.

"The old way the Taoist walked?"

"There are so many monsters on that mountain! Even we, if we want to go into the mountains, we don't dare to go too deep! ”

"The Taoist is not in danger?"

"I did encounter some youkai, but there was no danger." Song You said truthfully, "If you don't have any ability at all, you can't go so far." ”

"That's right, too!"

"The Taoist is capable......

At this time, the monk sitting at the top seemed to remember, and hurriedly bowed down and asked him, with a very lame accent: "Did the Taoist have dinner?" ”

"Not yet, but I brought dry food with me, just spend the night in your temple, and it's enough to go back and eat some dry food."

"You can't entertain guests like this......"

The great monk hurriedly called the monks outside to come in, and spat out a few words in the local language, which should have asked him to prepare food.

The monk was stunned for a moment, and replied in embarrassment.

"Huh?"

The great monk frowned and asked again, but the monk's expression became more and more embarrassed.

"Guest, I'm so sorry." The great monk said to the Taoist, because the language is different, the words and everything are very simple, "Tonight's dinner is finished, and there is nothing to eat in the temple, and I am going to go to the city tomorrow morning to spend money to buy it." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Song You to respond, he added: "But guests don't have to worry, there is still a treasure in our temple, which can be done with all your wishes, and it is not easy to take it out for others to see." ”

"Oh?"

Song You became curious.

At this time, the monk was still standing in the main hall and waiting.

The abbot of the temple gave him a few more instructions, and the monk's face showed obvious surprise, and he looked at Song You in surprise, and then bowed down.

Song You waited patiently while touching the back hair of his cat, and at the same time, by the candlelight, he looked at the temple with a calm expression, and also looked at several monks from the Western Regions.

This side is far enough away from Dayan, and people's appearance is also quite different from Dayan, the skin is whiter, the facial features are more three-dimensional, and almost every monk has a beard, beard, and a monk's hat, which looks similar to the dress of the monks in the mainland.

Song You pursed his lips tightly, thoughtful.
