Chapter Ninety-Seven: Strange
There is not much difference between this incense and the secret incense of the Nan family, but after Gu Qingzhang smelled this incense, a sudden sense of uneasiness and anxiety surged in his heart.
He quietly pressed down the floating emotions, pointed to the statue standing in the temple, and asked, "As long as you worship this statue, you can change your life against the sky?" ”
The old Taoist priest shook his head.
He said: "It is true that you can change your life against the sky, but the gods and Buddhas can only exert help in luck, and other things need to be done by the donor himself." ”
Gu Qingzhang originally thought that he had some strange means, but he didn't expect to look like the warlock who was abducted outside, and he couldn't help but be disappointed.
But this is true.
If you can change your fortune just by worshipping the gods and Buddhas, then there is no doubt that it is a cult.
Gu Qingzhang was at ease, he and Lu Tingxuan glanced at each other, and said to the old Taoist: "In this case, you might as well ask you to take us around the Taoist temple." ”
As soon as this Taoist priest saw Gu Qingzhang and the others, he knew that they had an extraordinary bearing, and they were not idle people, and he wondered if he could kill them.
In the face of such a request, it is natural that it will not be unacceptable.
The whole edge gate view is close to the mountains and rivers, and the continuous temple groups are built on the mountain, and many temples are placed with incense burners at the door.
As the smoke rises, many believers make their wishes with their hands folded.
After following the old Taoist priest to visit the entire Yuanmen Temple, Gu Qingzhang was inevitably disappointed in his heart.
Although the Taoist temple is large and magnificent, they have nothing to gain along the way.
"Let's go," Gu Qingzhang beckoned Lu Tingxuan to leave, "Let's go down the mountain and have fun." ”
The old Taoist priest was stunned on the spot: "Donor, you, this is leaving?" ”
"yes."
Gu Qingzhang smiled at him and said, "I'm a Buddhist, but I just accompany my brother to the Taoist temple, and I don't believe in Taoism." ”
?
The old Taoist priest looked at his back in a dashing manner.
Fuck, he's a Buddhist who came to Taoism, is there still a king in this world?
How can this be true?
Lu Tingxuan silently accompanied Gu Qingzhang all the way out of the Yuanmen Temple, until he walked halfway up the mountain, and then he held back a sentence: "Master Hou, you must have good martial arts when you go out, right?" ”
Gu Qingzhang glanced at him: "Yes, what, you want to learn martial arts from me?" ”
No
No
Lu Tingxuan secretly slandered in his heart: If it weren't for the high level of martial arts, with Ning Anhou's mouth, I am afraid that he would be beaten by others I don't know how many times.
The two of them walked down the mountain road, but when they were halfway through, Gu Qingzhang stopped.
He opened his mouth in Lu Tingxuan's puzzled eyes and said, "I still feel that something is wrong. ”
"What's wrong?"
Gu Qingzhang recalled everything that happened today and said, "That old Taoist priest's eyes. When I talked about changing my life against the sky, the old Taoist priest's eyes were very flat, as if he ......"
Lu Tingxuan silently continued: "It seems that Master Hou's request has been mentioned by countless people. ”
Gu Qingzhang nodded.
This is what he thinks is strange today, but the old Taoist priest took them around and walked around, and he really couldn't see what was strange about the Yuanmen Temple.
Just as the two of them stopped, there was a murmur from the depths of the woods not far away.
The whispering sound was intermittent, as if the person who made the voice was already angry and his life was hanging by a thread.
Gu Qingzhang and Lu Tingxuan glanced at each other, and they both chose to walk in that direction.
When they walked into the woods and arrived at the source of the sound, both Gu Qingzhang and Lu Tingxuan were taken aback.
I saw a scrawny man lying on the ground with a weak face, and there was a soft sedan next to him, and it seemed that he had fallen off the sedan chair.
There were barely a few pieces of flesh on the man's body, and even his cheeks were deeply sunken with weakness.
He was no different from the emaciated outcasts outside, but what was different was that the clothes on this man were very luxurious, and he looked like a rich and noble son.
"Give me ......"
The man tossed and turned on the ground in pain, scratching his chest with his hands, constantly making violent gasps.
From Gu Qingzhang's point of view, he could even see the blood stains on his chest, and there were many scars that had already formed scars, which didn't seem to be the first time the other party had done this.
Gu Qingzhang walked over, stopped a few steps away from the man, and asked, "This son, what's wrong with you?" ”
The tone of his question was not low, but even so, the other party still did not answer his question.
But after Gu Qingzhang got closer, he saw it a little clearly, and found that it was not that he didn't want to answer, but that his mind was obviously unclear.
I'm afraid he didn't even hear Gu Qingzhang's question, or notice his arrival.
Just when Gu Qingzhang wanted to continue asking, four or five servants suddenly came out from behind.
"Who are you?"
One of the servants shouted angrily when he saw them, and then hurriedly ran to the man who had collapsed to the ground, and carefully carried him on his back to the palanquin.
After Gu Qingzhang explained, he eased his expression and replied: "Thank you for your kindness, but we will soon go to Yuanmenguan, so it's okay." ”
Lu Tingxuan, who was behind him, wrinkled his eyebrows when he heard it, he took two steps forward and asked, "Isn't this Yuanmen Temple a Taoist temple?" Your young master is sick, you should go to the doctor, what is the use of seeing a Taoist priest? ”
The servant only shook his head.
"You're wrong," the four of them went to lift the soft sedan chair, "our young master is not sick, he beats the child like this." ”
Not sick?
It would be too deceptive to say this.
But no matter what Gu Qingzhang and Lu Tingxuan said next, these servants still kept their mouths shut tightly and didn't say a word, but quickly lifted the sedan chair and continued to climb to the top of the mountain.
After the group left, Lu Tingxuan said, "Master Hou, I'm afraid there is really something strange here." ”
"Well," Gu Qingzhang nodded, "I'll go up and take a look, you are waiting for me at the foot of the mountain." ”
Lu Tingxuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately wanted to dissuade him: "Master Hou, I don't know what is in this Taoist temple, I am afraid it is not safe for you to go alone......"
Gu Qingzhang snorted impatiently, he took off the jade pendant on his waist and threw it directly to Lu Tingxuan.
"If I don't come down the mountain after an hour, you can take this jade pendant and go straight to the outside of the city, and then find my own soldiers or Gua Er, and they all know what to do."
After speaking, Gu Qingzhang didn't wait for Lu Tingxuan to react, leaned over and lifted his feet, and used light skills to follow.
Only Lu Tingxuan, who hadn't had time to react, was left alone, holding the jade pendant in a daze.
No
He looked down at the jade pendant in his hand, and then looked up at the back of Gu Qingzhang who quickly left, and thought incredibly:
Are all the current generals so fierce?
