Chapter 118: Wandering Clouds
"Really?!" Li Daochang's eyes lit up, "I didn't expect this Youyun Temple to have a relationship with Lingxia Mountain, that's really good! Daochang Li stood up excitedly.
Yin Tiancheng said: "Hasn't the Daoist seen the Lord of the Cloud Viewing Sect yet?"
"Nope. Li Dao said: "We lived there for a few days, although the Taoist temple is very large, but there are only a few small Taoist children in it, I asked them to view the master, they only said that they did not return." Even when they were asked about the number of the Lord's path, they only said, 'If you have the fate to meet, the family teacher will inform you, if you don't have the chance to meet, why should you know the name?'"
Miao Xiaohuan smiled: "That's it, one or two, at a young age, when it comes to talking, it's a set, and it's very good at being confused." And they all love to pretend to be little adults, they are very serious with a straight face, and the food is also light and tasteless...... Hey, anyway, the Taoist temple is very boring. ”
"You girl!" Li Daochang said with a smile: "Our Taoist cultivators are pure in heart and have few desires, and their lives are even simpler. ”
Yin Tiancheng said: "I'll go to Youyun with the Dao Elder to watch, Third Sister, you should also come with us, otherwise the minions of the Netherworld Sect will find out that you are here alone, what if they attack you?"
Miao Xiaohuan didn't want to go, but thinking about the second brother's worries, she was right, so she had to agree to eat and drink at the inn, and follow them to Youyunguan in the afternoon.
While the three of them were having lunch, news came from the store again. said that Murong Changle was interviewed by Lord Zhizhou, and soon after he returned, he saw dozens of warriors such as Wang Sangansi, escorting several large carriages out of the city and heading towards the capital. Some people estimate that inside the carriage were Murong Changle and several of his concubines.
Yin Tiancheng guessed that it was because Zhizhou heard the rumors of his collusion with the Netherworld Sect and was suspicious of him, so he temporarily went to another place to avoid the limelight?
However, with his power in this place, the relationship with the local officials should also be extraordinary, and without real evidence, even if the government has doubts about him, it will not take any practical action against him, so why should he leave in such a hurry?
Miao Xiaohuan thought that it was probably because the cold weather was afraid of the fairy, so he had already fled, and Murong Changle knew that we were not dead, and we would come back sooner or later to find his trouble, and there was no demon to support him He was weak-hearted, so he left here for a while. After all, he is such a rich person, and the industry is everywhere, where can he not live?
But why, everyone can't be sure, but after the meal, Miao Xiaohuan changed her attention and was reluctant to go to You Yunguan, saying that Murong Changle and they were also gone anyway, and the Netherworld Sect didn't dare to make waves for the time being, she really didn't want to go to such a boring place as the Taoist Temple.
Yin Tiancheng and the others had no choice but to let her, and the two of them went to You Yunguan by themselves.
......
The two of them went out of the city from the north gate and walked three or four miles, the surroundings became more and more deserted, Yin Tiancheng couldn't help but ask Li Daochang: "Daochang, why did you think of going to Youyunguan to live in the first place?"
Li Dao said: "I came down the mountain this time to find people, and at the same time I also wanted to meet some fellow Taoists so that we could fight against demons together, so every time I went to a big city, I would ask if there was a Taoist temple nearby, one was to pay homage to incense, and the other was to meet some Taoist friends." ”
"I heard that the Taoist chief said that it has been almost a year since I went down the mountain this time, haven't I met the right people in the Taoist temples I have visited during these years?" Yin Tiancheng asked.
Li Daochang shook his head, "I know a few people with good Dao hearts, but their skills are low, they can collect little ghosts, and they can do things like super and excessive revenants, but if you deal with demons, I'm afraid you can only die." ”
"What does the Dao Master think of this Cloud Wandering Observation Master? Although we haven't met yet, can we see some clues from the Dao Tong under him?"
Li Daochang said with a smile: "That Taoist temple is very big, but I only saw four or five Taoist children, and I saw that their words and deeds were very rigorous, and their self-discipline and concentration were very high. When I ask them, they don't like to answer deeply, and they feel a little mysterious and unpredictable......"
"Did you know anything from other pilgrims or the people around you?" Yin Tiancheng asked again.
Li Daochang shook his head: "This Yunguan is remote, a few years ago, the Taoist Temple broke the incense, and was occupied by a nest of thieves, and later this nest of thieves was surrounded and suppressed by officers and soldiers, and all died in the temple.
Although the officers and soldiers also cleaned up the scene at that time, and there were no bones in it, ordinary people felt extremely eerie and terrifying when they got there, and no one went to the temple to offer incense until now. Perhaps it is for this reason that no Taoist wants to live there, after all, most Taoist people rely on the sesame oil money of pilgrims to survive.
It wasn't long ago that these Xiaodao lived here, if it weren't for the fact that they often went to the city to buy things, everyone didn't know that Youyunguan had lived in Xindao again. ”
"That's ...... so"
All the way to the north, after a few miles, the surroundings were still barren, Yin Tiancheng thought secretly, no wonder the third sister didn't want to come here again.
At this time, the strong wind rose again, the clouds pressed the sky low, and it was already early spring, but it made people feel that it was still in the depths of winter.
Daochang Li looked up and couldn't help but frown. Seeing this, Yin Tiancheng asked, "Dao Chief, what's wrong?"
Li Dao said: "I always feel that there is a demonic aura around Jizhou City, I don't know if the cold sky is still here, or if there are other demons coming." It's a pity that I'm shallow and can't find them. Ay...... And even if you find out, you may not be able to help them. ”
"Although there are demons, aren't there also fairies who restrain them? I think that after that night of fighting, they will not be too rampant. As long as we contact some more cultivators and work together, I believe we will always be able to eradicate them!" Yin Tiancheng said.
Daochang Li suddenly paused and turned his head to look at Yin Tiancheng.
Yin Tiancheng was slightly stunned for a moment and asked, "What's wrong with the Dao Chief?"
Daochang Li shook his head again and said, "Hey...... Nothing, nothing ......."
Yin Tiancheng smiled: "But you clearly have something just now!"
"Haha......" Daochang Li couldn't help laughing: "Yes, I just wanted to ask you if you ever thought about learning Taoism." But I thought that in order to learn a truly powerful Taoism, I must first give up the love between men and women, so when the words came to my mouth, I didn't say it. ”
"Oh......"
Yin Tiancheng smiled bitterly and didn't speak again.
After walking another mile or two, Yin Tiancheng saw a bamboo forest in front of him, and there were faint earthen walls and green tiles.
"Is that where?" Yin Tiancheng asked, pointing.
"Not bad!"
Walk closer and come to the gate. The temple is very wide, with a wall about one zhang high, and the gate is closed. The plaque on the door reads "Youyunguan" three large gold characters are very eye-catching, look at this color, when it is newly made recently. The handwriting on the plaque is vigorous and powerful, revealing majesty and pride.
"How can this Taoist temple look at the door?" Yin Tiancheng said in surprise.
"A few days ago, we came and locked up, and the Taoist said that they had only been here for a short time, and the master had not yet arrived, and the interior had not yet been fully arranged, so the pilgrims were temporarily declined. But the Taoist people in the world are one family, and people like me can naturally enter. Li Dao said.
"It seems that the Lord of the Audience has not come back today!" Yin Tiancheng said with slight disappointment.
"yes...... Let's ask!" Daochang Li was a little reluctant and knocked on the door with a "tuk tuk".
Leaning less, the door "creaked" open.
A young Taoist boy with clear eyebrows stood at the door, bent down and saluted to Li Daochang and his hands: "The junior has seen the mage! I have seen Peng Erxia! The family master said that the mage will come again today, let the juniors receive the two, and the two of them will come in quickly!"
Yin Tiancheng was quite surprised, and looked at Daochang Li suspiciously, Daochang Li nodded and smiled at him, and then said to Dao Tong: "In this way, has Master Ling already returned?
Dao Tong said: "The master is not in a hurry, last night the master came back and hurriedly explained some things, and left the temple again before the day dawned, but he had already instructed the disciples to wait for the two to entertain the two, and when you visited the ancestors, the disciples took the two to the back of the room for tea." ”
Daochang Li couldn't help but feel disappointed when he heard this.
As they spoke, the two of them had already entered the courtyard. Yin Tiancheng only felt that the air was full of light sandalwood, and the road made of stone slabs under his feet was exceptionally clean, and the Jinsong sandwich road on both sides stood upright, making the place a little solemn in the quiet.
Not far in front is the main hall, above is written "Sanqing Palace" three big characters, look at the penmanship should be the same person as the word of the view of the door.
Li Daochang followed Daotong to the main hall to offer incense, thinking that Yin Tiancheng was not a person in the Daomen, and he was afraid that he would not like these worship gifts, so he wanted Daotong to take him to the guest room to rest first, but Yin Tiancheng said that he would go to worship a pillar of incense together.
Yin Tiancheng used to worship heaven and earth and the temple with his family on some special days, but he did not go to the Taoist temple to worship Taoist gods like this, and this is the first time in the world.
When he arrived in the hall, after Li Daochang finished bowing to the incense in accordance with the Taoist etiquette, Yin Tiancheng stepped forward to light the three pillars of incense.
He did not pray for the help of the gods to fulfill his wishes, as ordinary believers do, but only to show respect, so his mind was empty at this time and there were no distracting thoughts. But as soon as I put the incense on, I don't know why, a scene suddenly appeared in front of me:
I was in the middle of the clouds, looking down at the ground under me, although the ground felt very far away, but the characters of the mountains and rocks were still clearly recognizable. Suddenly, at a glance, he saw a woman falling rapidly from a broken rope bridge to the cliff, which frightened him so much that his heart was abrupt, and his hand holding the incense also trembled.
"Brother Yin!" Seeing that Yin Tiancheng's face was different, Daochang Li couldn't help shouting.
Yin Tiancheng heard the shout, his body shook slightly, and all the scenes in front of him suddenly disappeared.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Daochang Li.
Yin Tiancheng came back to his senses, was amazed in his heart, and said, "Dao Chief, there seems to be an illusion in front of my eyes just now. ”
Li Daochang was shocked and said, "There is such a thing?" He looked around vigilantly, but he didn't see anything boring. But for the sake of caution, Li Daochang still said: "Let's go out of the palace first!"
