Chapter Ninety-Six: Maoshan Taoist
On the way, Yun Wuxian pondered the meaning of the mysterious words. After thinking about it all the way, Yun Wuxian felt that Xuanji saw his lie. Xuanji knew that Yun Wuxian came to Maoshan not to repay his kindness, but for another purpose. That's why he said the word "ghost gate".
However, Yun Wuxian didn't understand again. If Xuanji can see that he is lying, why do you want to help him?
Finally, Yun Wuxian decided to ask.
"Senior, can there be a tiger in Maoshan?" asked Yun Wuxian.
"Didn't you see a white tiger with hanging ears before?" asked Xuanji rhetorically.
"Is the previous White Tiger the masterpiece of the predecessors?" Feng Aya'er asked rhetorically.
Xuanji smiled and said, "You, a female doll, at a young age, actually saw through the methods of the poor way. Over the years, the Moshan faction has flaunted its might in the rivers and lakes. Many of the disciples of Maoshan are not convinced, but based on your performance, Maoshan is no longer able to catch up with Moshan. By the way, when you two go to the mountain, don't say that you are a disciple of Moshan, otherwise, some people will be jealous, and when the time comes, it will cause unnecessary trouble. ”
"Senior, can you tell the juniors what trouble they will encounter?" asked Yun Wuxian.
Xuanji turned his head to look at Yun Wuxian and asked, "What trouble do you think you will encounter?"
"The younger generation has come to look for a benefactor, with a grateful heart, why cause trouble. Yun Wuxian said.
"I hope so. Xuanji said.
While speaking, the three of them came to the top of Maoshan Mountain, and a large palace appeared in front of Yun Wuji's eyes, and the words heaven and earth were written on the palace.
"This is the 'Heaven and Earth View'?" Feng Aya'er asked.
Xuanji nodded and said, "Open the world, and the Taoist temple will appear." ”
"Demons and monsters, avoid them for no reason. Feng Aya'er said.
Feng Aya'er remembered that her master Mo Lingzi once said that the "Heaven and Earth View" is the earliest Taoist temple in the mortal world, which was built in ancient times and has not fallen for thousands of years. The Maoshan faction is also regarded as orthodox by the sect of the immortals because it has a "view of heaven and earth".
The three of them bypassed the view of heaven and earth. Not far behind, there is a smaller Taoist temple with the word "Wuji" written on it.
The three of them bypassed the "Wuji Temple", crossed a mountain road, and walked through a steel cable, and arrived at the place where the Maoshan Taoist priests practiced, chanted, eat, and meditated.
Because in recent years, the Maoshan faction has not been in the limelight on the rivers and lakes, and there are not many disciples who come to practice, at least, in Feng Aya'er's opinion, Maoshan's disciples are less than half of the Moshan faction.
When some Taoist priests saw Xuanji, they all joined together to say hello, but Xuanji did not squint and looked high.
After walking through three more rows of rooms, the three of them came to the backyard. The backyard is where the kitchen and sundries are located. There is a Taoist priest surnamed Yu in it, who is the steward of the backyard. After Xuanji arranged Yun Wuxian and Feng Aya'er to manage the two people, he drifted away.
Because it was the one who was sent by Xuanji, although the rest of the people had some doubts in their hearts, no one asked the reason. For the first two days, the two of them lived here, but they were all right.
The next night, before going to bed, Yun Wuxian quietly said to Feng Aya'er, "Senior sister, you go to sleep first." I'll go out for a spin. ”
"I'll go too. Feng Aya'er said.
"Let's both go, for fear of being discovered. I'm alone, with small goals and not easy to find. Yun Wuxian said.
"Are you going to the Linglong Pagoda to save Bai Ling?" Feng Aya'er asked, "However, we haven't found the Linglong Pagoda yet." ”
"In the afternoon, I heard a little Taoist boy say that there are two towers in Maoshan Mountain, one is the "Linglong Tower" and the other is the Lock Demon Tower. These two towers are around here, and I thought, there's moonlight tonight, and I'm walking around. ”
"Or I'll go. Feng Aya'er said, "Your mana is not as good as mine, in case, if I encounter a demon, I can still resist for a while." You still don't know how to slay demons, you're in trouble. ”
"Don't worry. This is Maoshan Mountain, a place to subdue demons and subdue demons, how can there be demons?" Yun Wuxian said, "Senior sister, you can stay at ease, I will go out for a turn, no matter what I find, I can't find it." I'll be back in half an hour. ”
Feng Aya'er thought for a while and said, "Just half an hour." If you don't come back, I'm going to go out and look for you. ”
"Okay, just half an hour. Yun Wuxian persuaded Feng Aya'er to wait for him with peace of mind, he took a sword and walked out of the backyard carefully.
Although the moonlight is bright, it is not daytime, and the places that the eye can see are limited after all. Yun Wuxian thought, since Dao Tong said that the "Linglong Tower" was nearby, if he went to a higher place, it should be easier to find.
Yun Wuxian looked around the four fields, and there was a mountain peak on the left, which seemed to be higher. He put away his sword and ran to the mountain. By the time Yun Wuxian climbed the mountain, he was already sweating profusely and panting. He sat on the top of the mountain, wiping his sweat while looking for the "Linglong Tower".
Ascending high and looking into the distance, looking at the mountains, Yun Wuxian saw the "Heaven and Earth View" and "Wuji View" in front, and he also saw the small courtyard where he lived in the rear, but he didn't see the "Linglong Tower" and "Lock Demon Tower".
"Could it be that the Taoist deceived himself at the beginning, and Maoshan didn't have a "Linglong Tower"?" However, he didn't think about it anymore, if there was no "Linglong Tower", why did the Taoist boy say that it was nearby in the afternoon?
After thinking about it, Yun Wuxian felt that he had to find an opportunity to ask Dao Tong.
Yun Wuxian returned to the small courtyard, and half an hour had passed. Feng Aya'er was not in the room, and Yun Wuxian knew that Feng Aya'er must be looking for herself. He turned around and went out again, looking for Feng Aya'er.
Yun Wuxian followed the road that Xuanji brought him to, turned back, and saw Feng Aya'er at the door of the "Wuji View".
"Senior sister, why did you come here?" Yun Wuxian walked up to Feng Aya'er and asked.
"You're too embarrassed to ask me. Feng Aya'er said, "You said you would come back in half an hour." Half an hour passed, and you didn't come back. I thought that something had happened to you, so I came out to look for you. Then, I saw a dark shadow coming this way, and I thought it was you, so I chased after me. ”
"Where's the shadow?" asked Yun Wuji.
"I chased it here, and I was gone. Feng Aya'er said.
"No, it won't. Yun Wuxian said, "Your light skill of 'stepping on the snow without a trace' is superb, how can there be a figure that you can't catch up with? ”
"I don't know. Feng Aya'er said.
"Let's go in and have a look. Yun Wuxian was about to enter the "Wuji View", and Feng Aya'er grabbed Yun Wuji.
"This is the holy land of Maoshan Mountain, and outsiders cannot enter it casually. Feng Aya'er said.
"What are you afraid of, no one will find out at night. ”
"That's not going to work either. Feng Aya'er said, "You think that no one will find out at night, but in fact, there are many people who know what you do." ”
"Who else knows but you and me?"
"God knows, the earth knows, God knows, ghosts know. ”
Yun Wuxian shook his hand and said, "Okay, I won't argue with you." I know, I can't mean you. If you don't say you won't go in, we won't go in. ”
"Let's go back. Feng Aya'er said.
On the way back, Yun Wuxian was still full of doubts. In the big night, who would have entered the "Infinite View"? Feng Aya'er walked in front, and Yun Wuxian looked back step by step. The more he looked back, the more he felt that the "Infinite View" was mysterious.
"Senior brother, have you found the 'Linglong Tower'?" Feng Aya'er asked.
"Nope. Yun Wuxian shook his head and said, "I climbed to the highest mountain here, and I still haven't seen the Linglong Pagoda. ”
"Could it be that you misheard it at the time? Perhaps, the Maoshan faction does not have a "Linglong Pagoda" at all. Feng Aya'er said.
"I thought about it too. However, if there is no "Linglong Pagoda" here, why did the little Taoist boy say that the "Linglong Pagoda" was nearby in the afternoon? I may have heard it wrong, but this little Taoist boy would not be wrong. Yun Wuxian said.
"What should I do then?" asked Feng Aya'er.
"I figured it out. Tomorrow, I have to find an opportunity to ask Xiao Daotong. Yun Wuxian said.
"Aren't you revealing our identities like this?" Feng Aya'er said worriedly.
For Feng Aya'er, the thing she is most worried about is that her identity is exposed, once her identity is exposed, don't say that the Maoshan faction will punish them. When they return to Moshan, Mo Lingzi will also punish them.
"Senior sister, rest assured. I have my own way. Yun Wuxian said confidently.
Soon, the two returned to the small courtyard. The courtyard was very quiet, and Yun Wuxian was afraid of waking up the sleeping Taoist priest, so he took off his shoes and entered the room barefoot. Feng Aya'er also learned from Yun Wuxian and entered the room.
Yun undressed and went to bed without a trace. Feng Aya'er slept in her clothes. Since the two of them had not been here for a long time, those who slept together did not notice Feng Aya'er's strange behavior.
Early the next morning, before dawn, Yun Wuxian and all the Taoist priests got up.
In the past two days that Yun Wuxian has come to Maoshan, he has generally figured it out, and the Taoist priests in Maoshan are also divided into three, six, nine and so on. Generally speaking, the little Taoist priest who has just arrived here is a newcomer, and he has to do physical work in the backyard for three years, and if he performs well in these three years, he will be promoted to an ordinary Taoist priest. Ordinary Taoist priests are even disciples of the Maoshan faction.
became a Taoist priest in Maoshan and could not practice spells immediately. Instead, you have to meditate for three years and recite scriptures. After that, you can learn spells, magic weapons.
They all slept with Yun Wuxian who had just become Taoist priests, and they had to get up early every day to meditate and chant the scriptures, while Yun Wuxian and Feng Lingdu got up to chop wood and dive into the water.
Today, it is the turn of Yun Wuxian and Fenglingdu to split, and the little Taoist boy and the old Taoist priest diving. Yun Wuxian hurriedly found the old Taoist priest and said, "Senior brother, let me help you carry water." ”
"You've only been here for two days and you're trying to slip around?"
"It's not. You misunderstood what I meant. Yun Wuxian hurriedly explained, "I can help you carry water first, and when I come back, I will chop firewood." ”
"What about me?"
"You sit and play. ”
The Taoist priest looked his eyes up and down at Yun Wuxi. Yun Wuxian was furious by his eyes. "Senior brother, why do you think of me like this?"
"I'm not stupid, you're going to help me for nothing? Tell me honestly, what is your purpose in doing this?"
"What purpose can I have. Actually, I have an older brother at home who is about the same age as you. The two of us have a good relationship. Now, I'm here, and I miss my brother so much. Seeing you, I have the warmth of seeing my loved ones. ”
As soon as Yun Wuxian explained this, the Taoist priest believed it.
"Okay, you treat me as an older brother, and I can't treat you as a younger brother. You'll follow me in the future. If someone bullies you, you tell me. ”
"It's time to go. Xiao Daotong took the bucket and shouted loudly.
Yun Wuxian took the bucket from the Taoist priest and followed the little Taoist priest away. On the way, Yun Wuxian asked, "Senior brother, how long have you been here?"
Xiao Daotong glanced at Yun Wuxian and said coldly, "Why should I tell you?"
"You know what? Yesterday, I went to the back mountain and found a baby. Yun Wuxian said, "I thought, the baby belongs to Maoshan, I just came, I can't swallow it privately, or let's divide the two of us." ”
