Dianhua got out of the carriage and looked at the hillside covered with low trees, leaving only a path for people to go up and down the mountain, the mountain road was covered with fallen leaves and dust, and it was obviously deserted, and few people came to walk here.

Dianhua looked out at the surrounding streets and houses. The street is very spacious, but most of the houses next to it are old, and you can only vaguely see the intentions and scale of the construction, and now these mansions have been changed beyond recognition, divided into several separate courtyards, rented to dock workers, and become a typical civilian area in the north of the city, except for an additional Taoist temple, there is no difference from other places in the north of the city.

Dian Hua was about to go up the mountain road, when an old man who set up a stall selling lo noodles kindly reminded: "This Taoist chief, the Taoist temple over there has been closed, and there is no Taoist priest on it." And it's not safe up there, so it's better not to go up the mountain. ”

Dian Hua was stunned for a moment, turned around with a smile and walked to the old man's stall and sat down and said, "Poor Dao just didn't eat lunch well, let's have a bowl of lo noodles to try." ”

Qinghe immediately stepped forward to wipe the table and chairs for Dianhua, Dianhua waved his hand and pointed to the robe, and Qinghe suddenly retreated.

"Okay, Dao Chief, sit down slowly, and you'll be fine right away. The old man's movements did not stop, and he was talking while he was below.

"Poor Dao Dianhua, I don't know what the old gentleman is called?"

"The old man's surname is Cheng, and the Taoist can call me Cheng Laohan. ”

Dian Hua and Cheng Laohan started the mode of chatting about family life.

"Mr. Cheng, have you been working here for many years?"

"Yes, my family has lived here since my grandfather, and we started to set up a stall here to sell lo mein. ”

"I've been living here for decades! Was this what the street was like when you came here?"

"You ask when this place will be transformed into what it is now? This old man really doesn't know, anyway, when the old man's family moved here, this place was already like this. ”

"What about the Taoist temple? What about the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple?"

"Taoist temple, when I was a child, it was still a little sold, there were still a few Taoist priests living in it, and then there were fewer and fewer Taoist priests, only a few years ago, there were only two Taoist priests left one old and one young, about half a year ago, soon after the death of the old Taoist priest, the little Taoist priest left the Taoist temple. Now there are no Taoist priests in the Taoist temple. ”

Speaking of the rise and fall of the Taoist temple, Cheng Laohan was also embarrassed.

"You said it wasn't safe to go up the mountain?

Cheng Laohan made the noodles and brought them up, now that it was past the point of eating, and there were few guests, Cheng Laohan simply sat opposite Dianhua, looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention to this side, and then whispered: "It is said that the temple is haunted!"

"Oh, who said that, somebody saw it?"

"Who said that? People who spent the night at the Taoist temple said that! Dao Chief, what I said is true! If you don't believe it, you go around and inquire, it is absolutely true, Cheng Laohan never tells lies. ”

That's what people who spend the night at the Taoist temple say?

"No one died, did they?"

Cheng Laohan thought for a while and replied: "That's not true, but it's indispensable to have an illness, anyway, that place is very evil, Dao Chief, it's better not to go there!"

No one has ever died, much better than the sneaky one in Qi Mansion.

As far as Dian Hua knew, the sneaky one in the Qi Mansion had already killed several servants who took care of Master Qi before Dian Hua came to the door.

The target is obviously Master Qi, but Master Qi has no accident, you can hold on for a few days, and wait until the original owner arrives, now think about it, this Master Qi is not simple!

Dian Hua took a bite of noodles, unexpectedly delicious, after eating the lo noodles in a few gulps, he gave Cheng Laohan a thumbs up and said, "Cheng Laozhang's noodles are really good!"

The food in Qi Mansion is slightly inferior to nature, but it also has a taste that Qi Mansion does not have, which is very delicious and unforgettable!

"Haha...... That is, our family's braised soup has been boiling for nearly a hundred years, it is a real century-old soup, and the lo-mei is definitely the purest, haha......" mentioned Cheng Laohan's pride, Cheng Laohan laughed.

Looking at Cheng Laohan, who has no scheming and is simple and straightforward, Dianhua's mentality is also comfortable.

Sure enough, as the article "Pure Heart and Vulgarity, Fun and Elegance" in "Caigen Tan" said: "The people in the market are not as good as friends in the mountains, and the people in Zhu are not as good as the pro-white houses; ”

Compared with the scheming Qi lord of Qi Mansion, Dianhua prefers the simple and refreshing Cheng Laohan; compared with the strict rules of Qi Mansion, Dianhua prefers this old street without rules; compared with the many slaves of Qi Mansion, Dian Hua prefers the old neighborhoods full of human touch on this street.

Dian Hua got up and said with a smile: "Thank you for the reminder, this Taoist temple is now transferred to the name of Poor Dao, and it is a retreat place for Poor Dao, and I really can't live with it." ”

Dianhua was going to pay, but Qinghe, who was very discerning, had already stepped forward to pay for his meal, which made Dianhua speechless for a while, but he didn't say anything, just thinking that he must come back in the future.

Cheng Laohan took the money from Qinghe's hand, and saw that this young Taoist priest actually had a maid to serve, very pompous, and very kind-hearted, and kindly reminded again: "This Taoist temple is not clean, it is haunted inside, although no one has died, but it is not easy to be sick for a few days, why should the Taoist suffer this wrongful crime?"

Dian Hua replied gratefully: "Thank you for the reminder of the old man, I don't have the ability to say goodbye, but this ability to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits is first-class." ”

Looking at Cheng Laohan's disbelieving expression, Dian Hua thought about it and had no choice but to take the matter of Qi Mansion to ease Cheng Laohan's heart: "Does Cheng Laohan know that there was a lot of trouble some time ago, and Qi Mansion posted a reward of 100 taels of silver on the public notice board to recruit capable people to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits, right?" The list revealed the day before yesterday by the poor road, the Qi Mansion that entered, in addition to the sneaky one that night, the poor road left the Qi Mansion today, the old man Qi heard that the poor road had no place to stay, and he also knew that the poor road was good at catching ghosts and driving away evil spirits, thinking that it was not a matter of idleness, so he specially gave it to the poor road as a place of retreat. ”

"Ah, is there such a thing, and does the Daoist still have this ability?" Cheng Laohan looked at the young Daoist in front of him in surprise, and his tone was still a little disbelieving.

Ancient people are always like this, talking about "no hair on the mouth, no good work", and they don't believe that the other party has real ability when they are young.

There are also "seeing is believing, hearing is false", not seeing with your own eyes, but just hearing it, and naturally not believing it easily in your heart.

But obviously Dian Hua has already said this, Cheng Laohan also did what he had to do, whether he believed it or not, whether Dian Hua had the real ability to catch ghosts or not, Cheng Lao Han didn't remind him anymore, and watched Dian Hua take a maid in Tsing Yi onto the mountain road.

Cheng Laohan paced to the side of the carriage and saw the family emblem on the carriage: "It's really the carriage of Qi Mansion." Could it be that this little Taoist priest really has such great ability? If so, it is true...... Then Li Laohan's family will be saved!"

The slope of the mountain is not steep, the mountain road is paved with bluestone steps, the branches on both sides of the mountain road grow to the mountain road because no one has pruned it for a long time, Qinghe spontaneously walked in front, using a dagger to open the way for Dian Hua, Dian Hua noticed that Qinghe's dagger and Qing Song's dagger when he tested the defense of his fairy robe were the same style.

The hill is not high, the mountain road is not long, the physical strength of the two is good, and half a cup of tea is in front of the gate of the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain.

There is a large bronze trivia hanging on the gate, which has never been seen in modern society.

The gate is a wooden door, it still looks very strong and durable, there is no damage, but the appearance is not good, the surface looks a little mottled traces, it can be seen that the top was originally brushed with a layer of paint, but because no one took care of it for a long time, the layer of paint slowly fell off in the wind and rain, and it became what it is now.
