Chapter 44: Poor Little Dao Boy
"In this case, I'm not hungry, you go to eat first, and after eating, you wait for me under the big tree in front." Zhao Chuan pointed to the tree not far away and drove the little Taoist boy away.
At this time, Zhao Chuan and Xiao Daotong had already left the courtyard of the host and came to the vicinity of the nave of the main complex. Not far from the nave, there is a large tree that is a few hugs thick.
Qingfeng Temple is actually very large, after many expansions, the entire Taoist Temple covers several mountains.
After Xiao Daotong left, Zhao Chuan began to wander around.
The courtyard of the host is not far from the nave, because it is the original old courtyard, and it is the place where the original host lived. Although it was later expanded, the host's residence never moved.
However, the places where other Taoists live have all moved away, especially those Taoists who practice Neidan Kung Fu, because they need a quiet environment, so they live very scattered, which provides convenience for the assassination of the old host.
This is Zhao Chuan's analysis after asking Xiao Daotong what he knew.
Zhao Chuan wanted to find the seven girls, he turned around the neighborhood a few times, shouted and did not respond.
Zhao Chuan didn't dare to go far, because this place was so big, he was not familiar with it for fear of getting lost, and he was afraid that Xiao Daotong would come back soon after eating, and more importantly, he was afraid that the seven girls would not find themselves when they came back after playing enough.
Fortunately, the temple was empty, there were few people, and no one asked about Zhao Chuan's shouting, otherwise he was afraid that someone in charge would have come to train him to be noisy.
It was almost dark, and Zhao Chuan turned around a few times and couldn't find the seven girls, so he had to come back and stand under the big tree near the nave he just said.
I don't know where the place to eat is, and I don't know how long they eat, in short, no one has come after dark.
These seven girls don't know where they died, and Zhao Chuan was a little angry.
This little vixen just loves to see the scenery and love to see the strange, but this characteristic is similar to Zhao Chuan.
Zhao Chuan stood in the darkness and waited for an hour before he saw a small black shadow hurrying over.
The small figure ran to Zhao Chuan under the tree, didn't speak, and stood panting with his head down.
Although he couldn't see clearly in the dark, Zhao Chuan also knew that this was the little Taoist boy.
By the light from the nearby nave, he could tell that Xiao Daotong's face was flushed and glowing, and it seemed that it was due to the sweat and blood that had come from the hurry.
Xiao Daotong stood with his head down and panting heavily, not saying anything, probably because he was afraid of being scolded when he was late, because he also knew that this lord was the nephew of the host.
Zhao Chuan has never been a commanding person, he only whispered, "Take me to the residence, I'm a little tired." ”
Xiao Daotong seemed to be a little surprised, stunned, and immediately walked forward to lead the way.
Although it was a little dark, and Xiao Daotong didn't make a lantern, he walked very fast and was obviously familiar with this place.
In the dark, follow him, and on the way, Xiaodaotong did not forget to remind him from time to time to go up and down the steps or threshold stones and other precautions.
On the way to walk, Zhao Chuan found a suitable opportunity and asked Xiao Daotong why it took so long to eat, and he was afraid that he would not need to eat for an hour with the amount of ten cows.
Xiaodao Tong didn't get angry when he saw that Zhao Chuan was late, and the reason for accountability was only on the way to the residence, and he felt that Zhao Chuan was a kind master, so he wasn't too afraid.
Xiao Daotong said that he didn't eat for a long time, but he still had to deliver food to a few elderly Taoists with limited mobility, because most of them didn't live in one place, so they were delayed.
Zhao Chuan believed.
Because looking at the appearance of the small way, it doesn't look like making up nonsense to deceive people, and I also see that the Qingfeng concept is very big, and many Taoist people don't live together.
The current situation is really embarrassing for this little Taoist boy, Qingfeng Guan is not at home, and they all went to Jiangzhou City to help Hou Ye, and there are few people left.
After a pillar of incense, he stopped in front of an independent courtyard.
After entering the small courtyard, Xiao Daotong asked Zhao Chuan to wait while standing in the courtyard.
Xiao Daotong went into the house and lit the oil lamp, and saw through the window paper that he was busy inside, so he came back and asked Zhao Chuan to go in.
It is a three-room house, two on the right side of the door, and one on the left side is a single room, separated by a wall, with a small wooden door.
The furniture in the house is very simple, except for the necessary living needs, there is no extra furnishings.
Fortunately, there are two beds in the room, one in the single room, and one in the two rooms with direct access, although they are not too wide bamboo couches, but Zhao Chuan is very satisfied.
There are tables and stools in the two large rooms, and there is nothing in the room except a bamboo couch.
Zhao Chuan sat down at the table, and when he saw that there was a teapot on it, he wanted to pour a glass of water to drink, but when he picked it up, he felt that it was empty.
This is in Zhao Chuan's expectation, no one has come to the Taoist temple for a long time, it is almost empty, this house is also used to entertain guests, there is no water in the teapot is very logical, no one knows that there are guests to live today to prepare tea in advance.
Xiao Daotong stood for a while, said that he was going to serve the host, and then went out to leave.
The view is very quiet, and there is no change of husband to announce the time, but Zhao Chuan estimates that it is almost the end of the hour.
After sitting on the second pillar of incense, Zhao Chuan heard footsteps in the courtyard, and it was estimated that the little Taoist boy brought tea, because he saw Zhao Chuan pouring water just now.
But before the footsteps reached the door of the house, there was a loud bang, and there was the sound of metal falling on the stone slabs in the courtyard.
Zhao Chuan hurriedly got up and walked to the door, leaned in through the indoor light, and found that the person who came turned out to be the seventh girl, who was full of things with her hands, and accidentally dropped a copper basin to the ground.
Zhao Chuan hurriedly went out of the house to greet him, only to find that the copper basin was filled with water, and the basin fell to the ground, and the water was spilled.
The seven girls carried other things into the house and asked Zhao Chuan to bring in the empty basin as well.
"Why did you come? Where are you going to play again? Zhao Chuan entered the house and began to complain about the seven girls.
The seventh girl said that you still don't appreciate it, I'll go find you something to eat and drink, and find you face water, but unfortunately the basin fell and the water was spilled, and your feet were swollen.
Zhao Chuan was already displeased, seeing that she was still reasonable, he snorted and said that it would take an hour or two to find these things?
The seven girls said that by the way, let's take a look around in this breeze view.
Zhao Chuan said lightly, is it good-looking?
The seven girls said it was good-looking.
The more Zhao Chuan said, the more bored he became, pouting and saying, Where is it good-looking?
The seven girls smiled and said with a smile Such a big Taoist temple, there are few people, empty, not good-looking?
Zhao Chuan was speechless.
The Seven Girls said they weren't joking with you, I was actually going to hunt for your treasure.
Treasure hunt?
The seven girls said yes, our fox clan is born to like to explore treasures and find secrets, didn't I tell you that we have this professional hobby? I just went out to see if it was possible to find something that could crack your sealed acupoint.
Zhao Chuan said don't talk about it, there is no treasure in this Qingfeng View now, but there were two treasures of Zhenguan in the past: two secret books "Changchun True Scripture" and "Aiki Immortal Law".
Then Zhao Chuan briefly told the seventh girl what the third uncle had just told him, about the Qingfeng View and the history of the Zhao family.
Since the seven girls followed her, there was no need to hide it from her.
After hearing this, the seven girls immediately said that it seems that I was right to go out and walk around just now, and I found out something.
Zhao Chuan asked: What did you find?
The seven girls said, first, I found that the mountain under this Qingfeng Temple was empty.
Zhao Chuan said that there is something strange about this, this is the basement of people, regardless of the temple Taoist temple, even ordinary people's homes also dig this, the role is to be used as a kiln or to store grain or people in an emergency.
The seven girls said that this cellar under Qingfeng Temple is too big.
Zhao Chuan pouted again and said how big it can be? Don't talk nonsense, it's been a day's walk, tired, it's not early, wash and sleep!
The seven girls said don't worry, listen to me first, okay: the cellar of this Qingfeng Temple is almost as big as the Qingfeng Temple above!
The cellar is almost as big as the breeze above? Just kidding! Zhao Chuan showed an expression of disbelief.
The overall area of this Qingfeng Temple is really not small, covering several nearby hills, if there is such a large cellar, it will have to be dug for hundreds of years.
Looking at Zhao Chuan's disdainful expression, the seven girls said it was true, I found an entrance and went in and turned around, and found that the mountain below was almost hollowed out, and there were wide tunnels everywhere, connected to each other, like a maze, I finally turned out, if it weren't for the smell of our fox family everywhere I walked through, I was afraid that I would have to stay below to live!
Really? Zhao Chuan suddenly became interested.
The Seven Girls said that such a thing can still lie to you? After I said it, you definitely want to go and see, how can I take you there if I lied to you?
Zhao Chuan asked, what's next? Found a treasure that can crack my sealed acupoint?
The seven girls smiled and said that this is not available for the time being, the space inside is too large, and it can't be finished for a while, but it is found that there is a large amount of food and armor and weapons for soldiers inside.
Zhao Chuan was very disappointed when he heard this, and said that this is of no use to me, and I will not go to underground seclusion, nor will I go to be a soldier.
The seventh girl said that this may be related to the previous history of your Zhao family and Qingfeng Guan?
Zhao Chuan said that you can pull it down, I only care about how to restore my cultivation now.
After chatting for a while, Zhao Chuan yawned, making sure that he had been busy all day, and said that he was really tired, so he should rest.
It's time to rest.
Zhao Chuan asked the seven girls to sleep in the inner room and sleep in the outer two rooms by himself.
As soon as Zhao Chuan finished the rehearsal, footsteps sounded in the small courtyard again, and the sound was not alone.
After a while, there was a knock in the room, and the voice of the little Taoist boy just now came from outside, saying that he was here to deliver something.
When I opened the door and came in, I found that it was two little Taotongs.
The little Taoist boy who came just now said that he came late because he had to serve the host.
The two Taoist boys brought two sets of toiletries, tea, a wooden bucket of water, and a few changes of clothes.
Zhao Chuan saw that people were thinking so thoroughly, and his curiosity made him take it casually and look through it, and found that there was a light blue cloth robe among them.
The robe is the left placket style, the finely woven plate cloth buckle, the material is exquisite, the back is embroidered with black and white Taiji diagram, and the front hem is tattooed with colorful gossip and five elements, which is full of elegance in solemnity, and there is a hidden wind under the solemnity.
It's a robe.
The little Taoist boy from before told Zhao Chuan that he would wear this Taoist robe to see the host tomorrow.
Later, Xiaodaotong was a girl, she looked like she was only about ten years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a low-eyed appearance, although she didn't look very good-looking, but it was not annoying.
The two little Taoist boys put away the things they brought, and after speaking, they bowed their heads and exited the house, and did not forget to bring the door when they left the yard.
"I'm just Xiaoyaozi's nominal apprentice, and besides, I'm not a Taoist priest of Qingfeng Temple, what does it mean to give me a Taoist robe?"
After the Taoist children left, Zhao Chuan asked the seven girls suspiciously.
The seventh girl didn't reply, maybe she saw that the two little Taoist children were very thin just now, and their complexions were not too good, so she said, "Alas, it's so late, this child is busy and hasn't slept yet, it seems that it's not very easy here." ”
There are also bell and drum towers in the Taoist temple, and there are also time signals, but they stop after the time, because the Taoists will rest after the time.
But tonight, Qingfeng Guan didn't hear the time report, it seems that there are really not many people in the view, and there are no people who even play the watch.
Zhao Chuan couldn't sleep because he was thinking about things.
The one-year time agreed with Han Yuer is about to expire, but her cultivation has been spent, how can she treat her if she can't get her true qi?
In fact, it's not that he doesn't have true qi, but because his middle acupoint is sealed, his luck route is blocked, and he can't release his true qi.
Again, even if you don't treat Han Yu'er, you have to practice to improve your cultivation.
How did I meet that crazy uncle, it's really unlucky.
Zhao Chuan hopes that Xiaoyaozi can come back to Qingfeng Temple soon.
He will wait for three or five days at most, and if he doesn't come for a long time, he will have to go to Jiangzhou City to find him. Although the third uncle didn't let him go to Jiangzhou City, what could he do?
Aren't you just afraid that the Hou Ye will find his own business? He didn't offend him much, what else could he do with himself? Besides, he also treated his daughter and others on the ship?
Zhao Chuan thought about it too much, and he couldn't sleep......
