Guojiazhuang is located in a small village under Ziwu County, Hedong Province in northern China, surrounded by mountains on three sides, east and west, and the Yellow River in the north!

Most of the people living here are not wealthy, and Guojiazhuang is not the only village here, there are more than a dozen villages large and small located on this land.

It's winter, and a heavy snow has covered the whole world! Looking around, the world covered in snow seems to be scattered with a piece of silver crystal, and the not so warm sun in winter reflects a faint brilliance on the white snow.

In a courtyard near the easternmost part of Guojiazhuang, there is a row of three caves.

In one of the caves in the middle, there was a young man, about twenty-two or three, with neat short black hair, a pair of deep black eyes, and a simple and slightly handsome face.

Wearing a red knitted sweater on the upper body, and a pair of black pants on the lower body, he is leaning against the corner of the bed at the moment, holding a copy of "The Unsolved Mysteries of the World" in his hand and looking at it intently.

It's just that the frowning brow he had at that time, and the way he thought bitterly, represented the idea in his heart that was different from ordinary people.

The young man has a very classical name, his name is Huangfu Tianyi, for the entire Guojiazhuang, the surname Huangfu is an outlier, why do you say that?

Because in the entire Guojiazhuang, except for Huangfu Tianyi, all of them have the surname Guo! Of course, except for those women who marry into Guojiazhuang.

In fact, strictly speaking, Huangfu Tianyi should be regarded as an orphan, he was rescued by the villagers of Guojiazhuang from several traffickers, and then adopted by an old man in Guojiazhuang.

The old man's name is Guo Xiaoyi, he is the village chief of Guojiazhuang, and he once had a son named Guo Wentao, but unfortunately died in a car accident.

And the old man's wife, Zhang Fen, died for a long time because she was depressed a few years after her son's death, leaving only the old man Guo Xiaoyi.

After the old man buried his wife and son with his own hands with the help of the villagers, he accidentally saved the three-year-old Huangfu Tianyi from the hands of human traffickers.

The unexpected appearance of Huangfu Tianyi alleviated a lot of grief in the old man's heart.

"Hey, before I know it, grandpa has been gone for 12 years!

In the quaint cave, there was a soft sigh! The young man who was originally sitting on the bed reading a book was already standing on the ground at some point.

Holding a picture frame in his left hand, he stroked it gently, and his reddish eyes showed the heavy and sad heart of the young man.

Huangfu Tianyi looked at the photo with black and white hair in the frame.

In the photo, an old man with a sloppy figure is smiling next to his vicissitudes of life and wrinkles.

The old man is Guo Xiaoyi, who has been dead for 12 years, after saving Huangfu Tianyi from the hands of human traffickers, the old man accompanied Huangfu Tianyi for ten springs, summers, autumns and winters.

Finally, he took a look at the world with a kind smile, and slowly closed his eyes, leaving only the thirteen-year-old Huangfu Tianyi.

"Grandpa, I miss you so much!"

Huangfu Tianyi gently stroked the kind face of the old man in the photo, his nose was sore, and tears were falling.

As an orphan, Huangfu Tianyi has no father or mother since he was a child, and his only relative is Guo Xiaoyi! But his grandfather only spent ten years with him.

Although it has only been ten years, it is for Huangfu Tianyi, who has lacked love since childhood. But I have experienced the warmth that I have never experienced since I was a child.

Gently putting down the photo frame in his hand, Huangfu Tianyi turned around and opened the door and walked out.

In an instant, a cold and biting cold wind blew in his face, cold to the bone, and Huang Futian couldn't help but shrink his neck and tighten the collar at his neck.

Immediately, stepping on the snow, Huangfu Tianyi looked at a pine and cypress on the top of the mountain in the east standing proudly in the cold winter wind, and next to this pine and cypress tree, there was a temple in disrepair sitting alone.

Standing in the cold wind and looking at the temple in a daze, Huangfu Tianyi, his thoughts couldn't help but drift away!

"Grandpa, what's in that house on the mountain?"

A plainly dressed immature child pointed to the temple in the distance, sat on the ground and raised his head, and looked at the old man who was farming next to him with innocent eyes and asked.

The old man wiped the fine sweat on his forehead with a towel, held the hoe with both hands and looked at the place pointed by the child, and said with a smile:

"Xiao Tianyi! There, this is where the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Court lives. ”

As he spoke, he touched the child's head with a pampered face.

The child tilted his head, thought thoughtfully, and then asked:

"Grandpa, is it the Jade Emperor in "Journey to the West"?

The old man took the child's hand, picked him up and put him on his lap, then looked at the temple on the mountain in the distance, and said earnestly:

The Jade Emperor is a god in the sky and blesses our people.

With him, we can live a good life, eat enough, and dress warmly, so this temple was built by the common people to worship the Jade Emperor.

The purpose? is to let him bless us. ”

The long river of memories slowly flowed in Huangfu Tianyi's mind! Those memories of the past seemed to have happened yesterday, so familiar, so clear! But they were far away.

The man doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place, whether he is suffering outside, tired, or bullied, Huangfu Tianyi has never shed a single tear.

But as long as I think of the old man I love and respect the most in my life, tears are always like the water that bursts the embankment, and I can't stop it.

Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes again, Huang Futian was stunned, looked at the temple on the mountain in the distance, and walked towards the mountain step by step.

Huangfu Tianyi remembers that when he was a child, he often heard his grandfather and some old people in the village say that the temple in the mountain is called "Lingxiao Treasure Palace", and it is the Jade Emperor who dominates the Three Realms is enshrined.

For Huangfu Tianyi, who grew up watching "Journey to the West", the words Jade Emperor are not unfamiliar to him.

Lingxiao Treasure Hall is located in the easternmost part of Guojiazhuang, located on an unknown peak, said to be a peak, in fact, it is almost a dirt slope.

It is surrounded by unknown wildflowers and weeds.

Huangfu Tianyi remembers that when he was very young, he asked his grandfather about the age of the mountain and the temple, but his grandfather told him that the temple had existed since his grandfather's generation, which shows that the age of the temple is beyond imagination.

Since Huangfu Tianyi's family lives in the easternmost part of Guojiazhuang, it is only about a mile away from the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, and it can be reached in a few minutes' walk.
