There is a mountain, a hundred feet high, straight into the clouds, its peak is not in the clouds, as if reaching the sky.

There is a view on the top of the mountain, the bluestone is piled up, between the vermilion beams and columns, there is a small wooden door, and a plaque is hung on the door, with two small ink characters written

'Gradually settled'

There is a courtyard in the Taoist temple, and the brick and stone path leads to the courtyard, which is covered with moss, and from a distance, it looks like it is soaked in cyan dye, which is full of life.

There are a few cobwebs hanging crookedly on the beams, which look very dilapidated and seem to have been barren for many years. In the center of the courtyard, two purple futons were placed, one of which was slightly larger, on which a thin old Taoist sat on it, the gray Taoist robe was windless, his eyes were slightly closed, and his face was leisurely, like an earthly immortal.

A young man sat cross-legged in front of the old Dao, also learned to sit cross-legged and breathe, looked carefully, his appearance was delicate, his left eye was slightly open, looking at the old Dao in front of him, and his right hand slid out of the wide Dao robe restlessly, and slowly stretched to the side.

'Yan'er, don't mess around. ’

The young man named Yan'er stuck out his tongue, quietly retracted his cuff with his right hand, and looked up at Lao Dao:

"Master, this is really boring on the mountain, when will I be able to come down the mountain?"

Lao Dao opened his eyes, his eyes were bright, not like an old man, he looked down at the young man in front of him, his eyes were full of love, and he smiled:

"Don't worry, when you learn the Tao as a teacher to six points, I will naturally take you down the mountain for a tour." ’

'Master lied to people, he said this every year, this time I have to go down the mountain!'

The boy stood up, patted the dust off his body, and turned his head to walk out the door.

As soon as he took two steps, Su Yan felt that his calf was fixed, and he couldn't take a step.

"Yan'er, if you can break my thousand catties of curse today, I will let you go down the mountain, how about it?"

Lao Dao touched his beard and squinted at him, he knew very well in his heart that Su Yan was talented, and he had already learned more than half of his Taoism, but he was playful, and he only learned one skin, if he could be proficient, he would definitely do something in the future.

While thinking about it, Lao Dao waved his hand and threw out two golden talismans, which were lightly attached to Su Yan's back.

'These two talismans are also a test'

As soon as the words fell, the golden light around Lao Dao flashed, and a circle of strange runes appeared on the ground, exuding a dazzling golden light, and a faint spiritual pressure enveloped his body, and every pore on his body seemed to be blocked.

'This kid's Dao attainments are really rare'

With a whisper, Lao Dao's face was pale, as if the formation in front of him was just an ornament.

At this moment, a white mist appeared all over the body of 'Su Yan' who was fixed by the old way, and in a few moments, there was an inch-sized straw doll on the spot, and Su Yan disappeared.

"Good boy, the stand-in spell has also been refined, and it actually deceived me, not bad, not bad" said twice in a row, and the old Tao suddenly reprimanded:

'Broken'

The golden light under his feet immediately dimmed, and the Taoist priest's face was still very leisurely, took a few steps forward, picked up the doll on the ground, and said with a smile: "It's really a child's mind."

Then he took out an ink pen from his sleeve and made a few strokes on the doll, and it became a strange rune.

Su Yan, who was in the corner in the distance, had a suspicion in his heart, he had never seen the action of this method, and what kind of new technique was it.

I saw a faint glimmer of light suddenly appear in Lao Dao's hand, covering the doll, at this time, the doll seemed to be trembling, Lao Dao put the doll on the ground, and whispered a strange language in his mouth.

One inch!

Two inches!

The doll is getting bigger!

In a few breaths, the doll has grown to more than seven inches, take a closer look, where is this still a doll, it is clearly a beautiful woman with a graceful figure, there is not a wisp on her body, and the spring is shining, Su Yan blushed when she glanced at it, and thought to herself, Master is really not ashamed!

Lao Dao smiled, stretched out his finger to the center of the woman's eyebrows, and this bewitching woman seemed to have suddenly come to life, and walked slowly towards Su Yan's side. Su Yan covered his eyes and ran out of the corner and shouted:

'Master is not ashamed!'

Lao Dao smiled and said, "Yan'er, color is empty, not to mention that it's just a trick, can't you stand it?"

'Master is talking nonsense! How can there be such a method of blinding! This is the method of obscenity written in the book!'

Su Yan said angrily, but he couldn't help but put down his hand to look, but there was still the woman just now in front of him, only a straw doll emitting white smoke on the ground.

"The magic is to the extreme, you can do whatever you want, no constraints, words, you can understand" Lao Dao said indifferently.

Su Yan has been smart since he was a child, and he immediately understood the meaning of the old way, and said:

'Understand'

"The world is not like this Taoist temple, many sinister, the demons are fierce, the human heart is also poisonous, you must be careful, your magic is small, the mind is still too tender, I promise you to go down the mountain alone, go out to experience a month'

"Really!" Su Yan exclaimed lightly, and suddenly threw himself into the arms of the old Dao, he grew up in the Taoist temple since he was a child, in addition to listening to the old Tao, he had never gone down the mountain to practice, and his heart was already full of curiosity, this time the master agreed, it was really unexpected to him.

Lao Dao looked down at the apprentice who was full of joy in his arms, and shook his head, there are many dangers under the mountain, and he is just this precious apprentice, so he can't make any mistakes. He took out three fiery red talismans from his sleeve, put them in Su Yan's hand, and said with a serious face:

'When you go down the mountain, you must pay attention to safety, remember not to be reckless, these three talismans are all fire spirit runes, which inject aura into the teacher, whether it is a shemale or a ghost, it will ignite when touched, and it cannot be extinguished' Then he thought about it again, and said softly:

'Remember, remember, use it with caution, there is also a piece of Zhenling Jade Pendant, named Luo Lan, which was accidentally obtained by the teacher when he traveled, it is quite wonderful, it can suppress evil spirits, you must keep it carefully. After that, he took out a piece of plum-dyed jade pendant and put it on Su Yan's neck, the surface of the jade pendant was warm and smooth, engraved with three maple leaf-like patterns, as if there was an inexplicable meaning. There is no cold touch on the body, but there is a trace of warmth, which should be a valuable treasure.

Rao is Su Yan's naughty temperament, and at this time he is also well-behaved, kneeling on the ground, and saluting:

'Thank you Master'

After speaking, Su Yan felt a little more sour in his heart, after all, he grew up here, and he really wanted to leave this Taoist temple, and he was still reluctant to leave this Taoist temple.

The old way waved his hand;

'It's not life and death, there is a path at the bottom of the mountain, which is opened by pilgrims, and you walk along the path, and within three hours you will see people'

After speaking, seeing that Su Yan hadn't gotten up yet, he turned his back and said:

'If you don't leave, you'll have to regret it as a teacher'

Su Yan's heart tightened, knowing that the old Taoist priest really wanted him to go down the mountain this time, a bitterness appeared in his heart, he forcibly held back, and made a big salute seriously, only to feel that the corners of his eyes were sour when he lowered his head. I didn't look at the old way when I got up, picked up the cloth bag that I was close to on weekdays, turned my head and walked down the mountain, but the pace was unusually slow, and it seemed to be too reluctant.

Why do you feel like you're going down the mountain this time, it's really like you're going to say goodbye forever.

When he arrived at the door of the Taoist temple, Su Yan couldn't help but take a look at the dilapidated Taoist temple, and there were a few more cracks on the vermilion beams and pillars, I was really afraid that one day these two beams and pillars would be broken, and the entire Taoist temple would disappear.

With the Master here, what's the matter if there is no Taoist temple?

But when I finally went down the mountain, why, I couldn't be happy.

The carefree boy on weekdays is like a lonely prodigal son at the moment. Only the plaque is still brand new as ever, and the word gradually settles down, as if immersed in the wooden plaque, and the ink color is darker.

Wait until I get back, Master.

The young man turned around and went down the mountain, his steps were brisk, as if he had returned to the Taoist temple.

Seeing Su Yan's back gradually disappear, the old Taoist sighed lightly:

"After all, it's going to go down the mountain"

Then, looking into the distance, he lost his mind for a moment, and muttered:

'It's time for my old bones, too, to go down the mountain'

A breeze blew, and the figure of the old Taoist disappeared, leaving only a lonely Taoist temple standing on the top of the mountain.
