At this time, he realized that it was too late, it was too late, and when you saw the flood with the naked eye, it was too late to run away from the river.

The water was raging, like thousands of horses galloping down, ruthlessly destroying everything that stood in its way, whether it was running forward or evacuating to the side, there was not enough time.

It's over, Ma Ling never thought that one day he would die in this way, but fortunately, he also died on the way to save people, which is more glorious than being killed by falling stones when riding one day.

This thought just flashed in his mind, and before he could sort out the mood of facing death, he only felt a shock to his body, and the whole person tilted downward, as if he was caught by something, and when he went up and down, he was dizzy, and the sky was spinning, and when his vision returned to normal, he was horrified to find that he had climbed up the earthen dam from the river and came to the provincial highway.

And what about others?

It was really clamped, and he was caught under his arm with his hand, and when he threw it lightly, Ma Ling screamed "oops" and fell to the ground.

"Boom ......"

The flood swept by, and everything in the river disappeared without a trace.

"This, how is this possible?"

Ma Ling's eyes were dull, only to feel that his consciousness was confused, he was still in the river one moment, and he was taken out the next moment?

He looked up and looked up at the man who had helped him ashore.

The man ignored him, his eyes seemed to be focused on the ferocious flood, he was wearing a Chinese-style buckled sea blue practice uniform, just like the usual practice clothes that can be seen anywhere in the park, common and rare.

The common thing is that there is nothing expensive about such practice clothes, and you can buy a set for 100 yuan online.

The rarity is that it is common for this practice uniform to appear anywhere in the city, but why would anyone wear it in the middle of nowhere? And why is this man sitting alone in the middle of a river in the midst of a torrential rain?

Wait a minute?

How so?

Ma Ling rubbed his eyes, he was soaked all over his body in a raincoat, but he saw that the other party's sea blue practice clothes were basically dry and tidy, and under this majestic rain, he was not soaked?

Is that......

The wind and rain blew in, as if encountering an invisible transparent wind cover, and took the initiative to deviate from the man's side, and therefore, it was obviously such a heavy rain, but the man's body was so dry that there was no trace of rain.

"Got a ghost?"

A cold sense of fear surged from the soles of his feet all over his body, and Ma Ling ran to the waiting station with a rolling belt, grabbed his bicycle, and looked back in horror - the man who was still standing by the guardrail just now was gone.

Where did it go?

Ma Ling was afraid that as soon as he turned around, the man ran to the waiting station, he was scared, panicked, and turned back timidly, huh, it's okay, there is no one behind him.

As soon as he thought of the scene, he was taken out of the river in a blink of an eye, the man was not wet under the heavy rain, all kinds of strange phenomena made Ma Ling incomprehensible, he couldn't care about such a heavy rain, stepped on the bicycle, and returned the same way.

……

……

Xiao Qingshan has no name on the map, only called Xiao Qingshan in the mouths of nearby villagers.

The provincial road hovering between the mountains, there is an inconspicuous place on one side, and a stone staircase trail is built to lead to the mountain, if you follow this narrow trail up, about an hour later, you will see a temple.

This temple is so simple, a small courtyard, three bungalows, is all the buildings.

Judging from the appearance alone, you can't even tell that this is a temple, it is obviously a bungalow, and only when you walk in and see a huge stone carved incense burner, you can understand that this is a temple.

And it's still a Taoist temple.

The house in the middle is used as the main hall, the area is not large, enshrines the statue of Sanqing, usually there are believers who do not have time to come up the mountain, bring a letter, the master here can burn three incense sticks on behalf of the lord.

In fact, three years ago, the Taoist temple here has been idle for several years, just because this Taoist temple is not officially recognized at all, and there will be no serious Taoist priests to come, so Zhao Jiujing came here three years ago, obtained the consent of the nearby villagers, and stayed here and ended his wandering life.

Usually take care of the Taoist temple, maintain the Taoist temple's incense, he can stay here, there is also electricity here, but there is no running water, but there is mountain spring water in the back mountain to use, the network mobile phone signal is not very good, and it can be used reluctantly, which is not completely isolated from the world.

People living in the city, it is estimated that it is difficult to imagine that there are still a group of wanderers in the country, they are all over the world, not for fame or money, just simply wandering to see the scenery, no money part-time to earn some points, after earning never stay in one place more, never consider getting married and having children, nor do they consider the future pension life, just live in the present.

Zhao Jiujing used to be the same, but when he was over fifty years old, he was still a little tired, so he took a fancy to this place and became a resident of the temple.

He didn't know much about Taoist culture, but after staying here for three years, he learned a lot of Taoist cultural knowledge and gradually gained a little Taoist temperament.

On weekdays, Zhao Jiujing's material needs are extremely low, and he only needs a little necessary daily necessities, and the money comes from the incense money of the villagers and believers, as well as the accommodation and meal money of the occasional hikers here.

That's right, even in such a remote mountain, there are people who come in and hike.

This is probably due to the fact that behind the small green mountain, there is a more famous cliff plank road, it is said that it was carved out by the mountain people thousands of years ago, once there is a big war in the outside world, the mountain people will flee to the cave in the rear through the plank road to take refuge.

For thousands of years, the plank road has walked through mountain people, soldiers, bandits and other people, and has long been completely abandoned when it enters modern society.

However, it was discovered by hikers wandering around and posted on the Internet, attracting some hiking enthusiasts to come for sightseeing.

Zhao Jiujing had been curious to see it before, the wooden plank road had long been rotten and gone, not so much a plank road, but a stone road dug out of the gorge wall, the width was only 40 centimeters, the height was extremely low, and the body had to move forward with a stiff body, and there were no safety measures, and the right side of the body was a cliff.

A slight slippery foot can have unimaginable consequences.

The length of the entire ancient plank road is about 600 meters, and at the end is a cave, as well as a dilapidated stone temple, Zhao Jiujing only walked 100 meters and returned, it is too dangerous, and those who dare to finish are really bold people who are not afraid of death.

Yesterday evening, the Taoist temple suddenly came to stay with a tourist, Zhao Jiujing thought that the other party was a walking tourist who came to stay for a night, but never thought that this young tourist said that he wanted to stay here for a long time, and asked him how much is a month?

It's strange, who wants to stay here for a long time but him?

Seeing that the young man didn't look like a bad person, dressed simply, and didn't look like a rich man, Zhao Jiujing told him that there were still a few vacant rooms, and of course he could live here for a long time, but only a room was provided, not daily necessities such as meals and quilts.

He is a passer-by who wanders here, and he is not the owner of this temple, so it is difficult to talk about the accommodation fee for a long stay. After all, before the tourist stayed for one night, that was the sanitation fee, if you want to stay here for a long time, then you must clean it yourself, he can't clean it.
