Chapter Ninety-Eight: Behind

Gu Qingzhang followed the sedan chair all the way and came to the gate of Yuanmen again.

The sedan chair was carried into the Yuanmen Temple, and he followed them briskly into the Taoist Temple, but the direction in which the sedan chair went made Gu Qingzhang a little surprised.

Because the direction in which the sedan chair went was in the same direction as the temple he had just been led away by the old Taoist priest.

But the sedan chair did not enter the temple, but turned a corner and went back to the mountain.

Gu Qingzhang didn't expect that there was still a place behind this, he just wanted to follow, but was stopped by a young Taoist priest guarding there.

The Taoist priest looked at him and asked, "Donor, ...... are you?" ”

"Oh," Gu Qingzhang said without changing his face, "I'm tired of hanging around in other places, and I want to go here to play." ”

The young Taoist priest shook his head: "Donor, it is forbidden for idle people to enter the back mountain, and you can't enter without the recommendation of the master." ”

"That's not right."

Gu Qingzhang put his hand on his waist, he raised his chin and pointed ahead, and said, "I obviously saw it just now, and a sedan chair also went in, why didn't I see the Taoist master with it?" ”

The young Taoist priest said, "That's our old customer, and there is no need for the master to take it in." ”

Gu Qingzhang took a step forward, and in the hesitant gaze of the Taoist priest, he asked, "Little master, let's borrow a place to talk?" ”

"What ......"

The Taoist priest took a few steps back vigilantly.

You don't have to think about it to know, Gu Qingzhang must want to know how to go to the back mountain.

But this matter is not something he can be responsible for, he was just about to open his mouth to refuse, but in the next second, the Taoist priest's eyes suddenly darkened, and the whole person rushed forward uncontrollably.

Gu Qingzhang withdrew his hand, quickly caught his body, and then let him lean on his shoulder before others noticed.

Before making a move, he had already seen in advance that there were no other Taoist priests here, and at the same time, the pilgrims were busy going to the front hall to offer incense, and they didn't notice this scene happening in the middle of nowhere.

Gu Qingzhang pretended to carry the unconscious Taoist priest and walked behind.

The first thing that catches your eye is a long blue brick and stone aisle, with a brick-red temple on one side and lush trees on the other.

At the end of the road, you can only see the peaks of the back mountain, so if you are curious to come forward to look, you can only see a green mountain.

Gu Qingzhang saw that there was no one left and right, so he dragged the Taoist priest to the bushes next to him.

After a while, a "brand-new" little Taoist priest came out of it.

He walked a few steps, then turned to the right, and another Dharma hall lower than the front came into Gu Qingzhang's eyes.

Although this Dharma Hall is lower than the previous one, the degree of luxury is difficult to match with the previous hall.

The main entrance of the Dharma Hall was closed, and there were two or three palanquins parked outside, one of which was the sedan chair he had seen before.

Gu Qingzhang looked left and right, and simply flew directly to the roof.

Then, he carefully controlled his body to avoid making a sound.

He lay down and lifted the tiles, and he heard the people inside talking.

“…… Master, will I ever see my wife again this time? ”

"As long as you are sincere, after you arrive at the Heavenly Palace, you will naturally be able to see fairies."

Gu Qingzhang's one eye came to the entrance of the cave.

After his eyes focused, he saw a thin figure kneeling on the ground, and a Taoist priest holding a dust-whisk standing in front of him.

Gu Qingzhang couldn't see his expression, and could only hear him say: "The donor's wife has been picked up by the heavenly soldiers and gone to the heavenly palace to be a fairy, so it really needs some difficulty for the donor to see her." ”

As soon as he heard this, the man hurriedly grabbed the Taoist priest's robe and begged, "Please help me!" I think about her every day and every night, but I can't see her in my dreams...... Only with you can I, I ......"

As he spoke, the man was already choked up.

He clutched the Taoist priest's robe, and the whole person slid down with all his strength.

Gu Qingzhang listened to it and understood what was happening, but what he didn't understand was what kind of place this Heavenly Palace could make the living and the dead meet?

Immediately after, Gu Qingzhang saw another Taoist priest walking over with a small incense burner.

When he came, several people rushed over to him, all of whom climbed the corners of the Taoist priest's clothes and looked at the incense burner in the Taoist priest's hand with a longing expression.

Gu Qingzhang could even see a few people kneeling down directly, constantly kowtowing to the Taoist priest.

The more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, how could these people become so crazy for this small incense burner?

He unconsciously held his breath and looked down.

After a few moments, after the smoke in the incense burner slowly dispersed outside, these people unconsciously collapsed on the ground, looking at the ceiling with a demented expression, and some even drooled from it.

Gu Qingzhang felt a chill in his heart.

When one of them looked up, he also made eye contact with Gu Qingzhang, but just when his heart was tight, the other party continued to laugh as if he was unconscious.

Most of these people are wealthy and powerful businessmen and eunuchs, and they are constantly writhing on the ground like maggots, and whoever sees the scene in front of them will be completely disgusted.

Seeing now, and then connecting with the appearance of the man he saw before, Gu Qingzhang didn't understand anything.

This Taoist temple is ostensibly high-sounding, but in fact, it actually uses this strange spice to control the pilgrims who come here.

The reason why the young Taoist priest before didn't let him in was probably because he had no one to recommend him and was not qualified.

Gu Qingzhang's heart was slightly cold, he put down the bricks in his hand, and was about to leave as soon as possible, when he suddenly heard a faint cry.

If it was an ordinary cry, I am afraid it would not attract him, but this cry was obviously made by a child.

Gu Qingzhang stood up cautiously, followed the cry, and came to the left side of the main hall.

He lifted the bricks and tiles again and looked at them, and after only one glance, his whole body seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move.

Raging anger rose from the bottom up in his body, if he wasn't worried about being discovered, Gu Qingzhang couldn't wait to directly raise his knife and kill all these people.

Because in this temple there are so many young children who are being bullied!

The children, both male and female, appeared to be ranging in age from six to twelve, and their eyes glazed over were held in the arms of the lewd man next to them.

Gu Qingzhang's eyes were good, so he could see the bruises and purple scars on their bodies at a glance.

I see!

I see!

In an instant, Gu Qingzhang suddenly remembered everything he had seen in Yanling before, the reason why the neat streets were weird was that there were no beggars on the one hand, and on the other hand, there were no children!
