When the villagers saw the three of them, they just smiled and nodded, thinking that they were just passers-by, so no one stepped forward to speak. Feiyun and the three of them didn't see the inn, and then they remembered that such a remote mountain village, how could there be any inns and hotels.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled self-deprecatingly. Seeing that the people in the village were looking at them curiously, Liangchen walked up to a middle-aged woman and asked if there was a place in the village to spend the night, and the three of them wanted to go up the mountain tomorrow to see the scenery.

The woman told Liangchen that there was no inn in the village. If you want to spend the night, you can only spend the night with the villagers. If the guest has a lot of money, just give some money. If the guest is strapped for money, it doesn't matter if you don't give it.

Liangchen listened, hesitated for a moment and did not speak. The woman saw that Liangchen was good-looking, and her attitude was respectful and courteous, and her tone was gentle. The woman saw that the three of them were dressed like young masters and young ladies who had come out to play, so she said that if she didn't dislike her family, she would invite the three of them to live in her own house. Liangchen thanked her and asked her to wait for a while, saying that the three of them would discuss. The woman nodded, and stood still.

Liangchen returned to Feiyun and Meijing, explained the situation, and asked the two if they wanted to borrow the woman's house. Meijing was anxious and said: "Since there is no inn, we might as well go up the mountain directly and go to the Taoist temple to check it out." If there is no problem, just stop by and stay overnight at the Taoist temple. Why bother the villagers? ”

Feiyun looked at the sky and said with a smile: "If we go up the mountain now, it will definitely be too late to arrive at the Taoist temple." The Taoist temple has enough excuses not to take us in, so what should we do? ”

Meijing pursed her lips and said, "Taoist priests are also considered cultivators, and they should be convenient. If they don't say yes, they definitely have a problem! ”

If Liangchen thinks about the beautiful scenery, it also makes sense. If the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple are unwilling, it can indeed prove that their hearts are weak, and there must be ulterior secrets in the Taoist temple. Therefore, Liangchen also agreed with the opinion of the beautiful scenery and went up the mountain overnight.

Feiyun thought about it, and agreed with their analysis, so he agreed to go to the Taoist temple overnight to find out. Liangchen turned and came there

In front of the woman, she said that the three of them decided to go up the mountain overnight. If there is an accident, go to the Taoist temple on the mountain to spend the night.

I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the woman for her kindness. When the woman heard Liangchen's words, her face changed greatly, and she hurriedly persuaded Liangchen not to go to the Taoist temple. She thought that the Taoist temple would definitely not take them in, and the three of them would have to sleep in the mountains at that time. It's still a little cold at night in spring, and the three of them will get sick with a cold.

Liangchen smiled and thanked the woman again for her concern. Liangchen thought to himself, it seems that what the guy said is right, he must be that the people from this small mountain village want to enter the Taoist temple, but they have been blocked. Liangchen didn't want to explain anything to her, so he bowed and turned back to Feiyun.

Feiyun thought for a while and said, "Second sister, third sister, it is definitely inconvenient to lead the horse up the mountain." We might as well leave the horses in this woman's house, and give them some money to take care of the three horses. What do you think of coming back when we come down the mountain to get it? ”

Meijing applauded, she hadn't thought about the horse at all. As soon as Feiyun mentioned it, Meijing felt that the horse was indeed a burden. They left their horses at the bottom of the mountain, and it was much easier to walk up the mountain.

Liangchen had no objection, and went to the woman again, explaining that he wanted to leave the horse at her house, and that they would pay some money in return. The woman refused to stay overnight and was about to leave. After listening to Liangchen's words, the woman was overjoyed and agreed.

Liangchen beckoned to Feiyun and Meijing, signaled that they had been negotiated, and called them over. After a while, the three men followed the woman to her house. This is an ordinary family, with only a few mud houses and thatched roofs, which looks like an ordinary family.

The woman led the horse into a thatched hut in the courtyard and warmly invited them into the house to sit down for a while. Feiyun declined her kindness and asked Liangchen to give her a few taels of silver. But the woman said that it would not be too late to give the money when they came to lead the horses, lest she give too much now and return it later.

Feiyun was very moved to see that the woman was honest and loyal, so he said that no matter how much it was spent, there was no need to return the money. But the woman was stubborn and determined not to take the money first. Feiyun had no choice but to rely on her. Liangchen chatted with the woman again, and learned that everyone in this mountain village is surnamed Guo, so it is called Guojia Village.

This woman's name is Chen Cunhua, and she has been married to Guojia Village for more than 20 years. The husband's name is Guo Qingshan, and the couple has two sons and a daughter. The eldest son is twenty-one years old, the second son has just turned nineteen, and the third daughter is only seventeen years old.

Jia Li has a few acres of paddy fields nearby, and Guo Qingshan is busy with farm work when he is busy with farming. When the farm is not working, Guo Qingshan goes up to the mountains to hunt. Now it is busy farming, Guo Qingshan takes his children to work in the fields, and he will not return home until after dark.

Liangchen also told Chen Cunhua the names of the three of them, and said that the three were brothers and sisters, and they came to Nanshan this time to play. Chen Cunhua told Liangchen that this mountain is not called Nanshan, but Qingfeng Mountain. Only those who are farther away from the north call this mountain the South Mountain.

Liangchen nodded, asked about the road up the mountain and the Taoist temple, and then said goodbye to Chen Cunhua. Seeing that the three of them insisted on going up the mountain, Chen Cunhua gave them two torches. If you can't see the mountain road clearly in the dark, you can light a torch. At the same time, having a torch in hand can also scare away some wild beasts.

The three of them took the torches, bowed and thanked the woman, and then walked towards the Taoist temple halfway up the mountain. They hadn't walked long on the rugged, winding narrow mountain road before the sky slowly darkened.

The road is lined with mostly tall trees, and the lush branches of the trees cover the mountain road. The already faint night could not penetrate the dense branches and leaves, and the surroundings quickly became pitch black.

Feiyun had no choice but to light a torch and let Liangchen carry it in the middle. They were worried that there would not be enough torches, so they had to light one first. Feiyun wants to lead the way in front, and the beautiful scenery follows behind. But Meijing said that it was her idea to go up the mountain overnight, and insisted on opening the way ahead.

Feiyun couldn't resist the beautiful scenery, so she could only let her walk in front. Feiyun was afraid that Liangchen would be too fortunate to hold the torch, so he had to walk in the middle with the torch himself in order to illuminate the front and back. Meijing said that she was timid and did not dare to walk last.

Feiyun smiled slightly, understanding that Liangchen didn't want to be too lucky to raise the torch, so he found this excuse. Feiyun knew that he couldn't talk about the good days of his teeth, so he had to obey her wishes. Besides, Feiyun is at the end, and it is also convenient to take care of the two junior sisters.

The three of them continued on their way, illuminated by torches. Fortunately, the mountain wind was not strong, and there was a dense forest to block it, so the torches burned normally. However, the mountain road was very difficult to walk, and the three of them could only walk slowly and with difficulty.

After about an hour, the three of them finally came to the nearby mountain road of the Evergreen Taoist Temple. The mountain road bypasses the Evergreen Taoist Temple and continues upwards. It's just a fork in the road that leads to the Taoist temple.

The Taoist temple was built on relatively flat ground, but this piece of ground is not wide. The Taoist temple is built on the mountain and seems to be divided into two parts. The house in front is much lower than the house in the back, and it is supposed to be connected by a step in the middle.
