Chapter 34: Qingyun Temple
Dong Xiaolong and Li Wei got on the bus to Qingyun Peak, while Xiaoqing kept lying on Dong Xiaolong's shoulder, and attracted the attention of many passers-by along the way.
"Isn't it good for you to fly up by yourself?" Dong Xiaolong said in a loud voice.
"It's so much effort, why fly over by yourself. Xiaoqing responded.
"You can also choose to stay around for a while and wait until it gets dark and I'll come down. ”
"I don't follow you, what if you run away?"
"I can't fly, it's the way down the mountain, and I'll definitely come back. ”
"Anyway, I don't have anything to do, just follow you. I'm tired, rest for a while and don't bother me. After Xiaoqing finished speaking, he directly lay on Dong Xiaolong's shoulder and began to sleep.
Dong Xiaolong could only be helpless in his heart, who let his cultivation strength not be as high as it. The good thing is that it's still quiet.
"Xiaoqing, are you planning to return to the mountains and forests?" asked Li Wei, who was sitting on the side.
"Then keep it as a pet, birds are much better than other pets. Dong Xiaolong said with a smile.
Li Wei saw that Xiaoqing was lying on Dong Xiaolong's shoulder and fell asleep very well-behaved, and she liked it very much, but when she thought of the scene where Xiaoqing dodged herself at the beginning, she felt a little more lost.
"Why don't you say it likes me?" Li Wei said softly with her head down.
"It's good to be more familiar with it in the future, it's not that it doesn't like you, it just feels that you're strange. Dong Xiaolong touched Li Wei's head and said comfortingly.
was suddenly touched by Dong Xiaolong, and Li Wei's cheeks were also slightly red. Doesn't this guy know that a girl's head can't be touched?
However, Li Wei did not resist, Dong Xiaolong noticed Li Wei's expression, and immediately withdrew his hand. His reaction this time was completely unconscious, just because he saw Li Wei's somewhat disappointed expression, and he had some uncomfortable reactions in his heart.
Seeing that he had withdrawn his hand, Li Wei immediately began to change the topic and said, "You haven't known Xiaoqing for long, why doesn't it reject you?"
When Li Wei asked, Dong Xiaolong didn't know how to answer for a while. Colorful Qinghuang only followed him because he needed his help, but he couldn't tell Li Wei this.
At this time, the car had already arrived at the temple halfway up the mountain of Qingyun Peak, and Dong Xiaolong also took the opportunity to change the topic and said: "Inexplicable fate. We're here and ready to get off the bus. ”
Although Li Wei felt that Dong Xiaolong's explanation was far-fetched, she didn't think too much about it, and got out of the car directly when the car stopped. Xiaoqing also woke up, and as soon as he got out of the car, he flew and circled on Dong Xiao's head.
Because it is located halfway up the mountain, there is not much space that can be used, so this temple is not large. Seeing the name in front of the door, Dong Xiaolong also complained helplessly: "Qingyun Mountain, Qingyun Peak, Qingyun Temple, it is really a perfect match." ”
The two came to the temple gate, because it was not a good time to play, and there were not many people in and out of the temple. Dong Xiaolong wasn't much interested in this Qingyun Temple, but since he came, it was good to take a look at it by the way.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see a large tree in the center of the temple covered with red cloth ribbons, which is obviously asking for marriage. The tree is not tall, but the trunk is thick, the foliage is luxuriant, and the branches are intertwined. Dong Xiaolong had never seen this kind of tree, and he didn't know its name, but this shouldn't be a marriage tree.
The temple is a courtyard built around this tree, the left side is for marriage, the right side is for peace, and the middle main hall is for worshipping Buddha. There was a person who looked like an old monk standing in the main hall, but the people in the two halls on the left and right were not dressed as monks.
Dong Xiaolong felt a little strange, it should be Yue Lao who was in charge of marriage, why should there be a Buddha statue in the main hall? However, Dong Xiaolong is an atheist and has never studied this kind of thing in depth, perhaps most people don't know the same, just to try for good luck.
Before walking into the tree, Dong Xiaolong saw that there was a stone under the tree, on which were engraved the words red acacia tree. There are five people standing in front of the shop on the left, who seem to be queuing up to sign a marriage, but these five are all women.
Li Wei saw that some people were queuing up to ask for marriage, and she also wanted to ask for a lot, so she pointed to the place in line on the left, and said to Dong Xiaolong: "Let's go and ask for a lot." ”
Dong Xiaolong is not interested in marriage, but it is okay to ask for a peace charm, although Dong Xiaolong does not believe this, but giving it to Li Wei may make her feel more at ease. "I'll go and ask for a peace charm, how about you go and ask for this marriage sign?" Dong Xiaolong said.
"That's right...... All right. When Li Wei heard Dong Xiaolong say this, she couldn't help but feel a little lost. But she also understands that after all, Dong Xiaolong is such a person, if he also rushes to ask for marriage, it will not be him.
The two of them started to act one left and one right, Dong Xiaolong glanced at the time, if it was faster, it would be too late. There are only two people who ask for peace charms, and it should be very soon, mainly on Li Wei's side, I don't know how long it will take. Entering the right hall is also a Buddha statue, glanced at the person in front, paid the incense money, burned the incense, worshiped the Buddha, and the person standing aside gave him a peace charm.
Dong Xiaolong quickly asked for a peace charm, and when he came out, there was only one person in front of Li Wei, and Dong Xiaolong was standing next to the acacia tree and waiting. I glanced up at the red cloth ribbon hanging on the tree, and it was written that there were some words such as a hundred years of good union and eternal eternity.
Xiaoqing landed on one of the trunks of the acacia tree, looked at the red cloth ribbon of the tree, and said, "To do these meaningless things, it is better to go back early." ”
"Although some things seem meaningless, it also reflects people's yearning for beautiful things, and even if they can't achieve it, they are willing to work hard for it. Life always needs some thoughts, even if all this is illusory, at least the heart is not empty. ”
Looking at the acacia tree full of people's good wishes, the corners of Dong Xiaolong's mouth rose slightly. Although he was not very interested in these illusory things, he never denied them. This is a kind of faith, and it can give people infinite hope, even if it is a fantasy, only because it is worthy of being in this world.
"Humans are really weird. Xiaoqing said.
"That's because you have never integrated into this world, and if you are not in a hurry to return to the fairy realm, you can stay in this world for a while longer. ”
"You can't help me go back, so you're here to persuade me to stay. Xiaoqing asked questioningly.
"Can you trust him a little more, don't you say you are not in a hurry!" Dong Xiaolong was also helpless in his heart, and Xiaoqing still didn't believe him.
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. After Xiaoqing finished speaking, he ignored Dong Xiaolong again.
Dong Xiaolong could only shake his head helplessly, seeing that Li Wei had already been lined up in the marriage hall, Dong Xiaolong also looked over curiously. After taking a closer look, Dong Xiaolong found that the person sitting inside was the middle-aged uncle who was telling fortunes next to Lingquan before. It's just that now he has changed his clothes and wears a hat, so Dong Xiaolong didn't see it at first sight.
"Why is it him again?" Dong Xiaolong said softly.
Dong Xiaolong originally planned to go over and ask clearly, but when he saw the middle-aged uncle say a few words to Li Wei, Li Wei turned around and left, and gave Li Wei two red cloth belts when he left. Dong Xiaolong's expression was a little unhappy when he saw Li Wei turn his head, but when he walked in front of Dong Xiaolong, it had already faded.
"What did that uncle tell you?" Dong Xiaolong hurriedly asked.
"Nothing. Li Wei shook her head and handed one of the red cloth belts to Dong Xiaolong, "This is given to you by that uncle, he asked me to tell you two words, don't ask." ”
Dong Xiaolong looked at the red cloth belt in his hand, which read: Cherish the person in front of you.
Li Wei didn't see these words, the uncle told her that she could only look at her own one. And the red cloth belt in Li Wei's hand did not have anything written on it.
"Is this going to be hung on a tree?" asked Dong Xiaolong.
Li Wei didn't speak, just nodded. Dong Xiaolong found a branch that Li Wei could get, and the two of them were in the same place, tied red cloth belts opposite each other.
Just as Li Wei turned to leave, a gust of wind blew, and the words on Dong Xiaolong's red cloth belt flipped in front of her eyes, and Li Wei remembered what the middle-aged uncle said to herself.
'You already know your marriage, and you don't need to ask for it anymore. It's just that the person next to you is extraordinary, and as for whether it's a blessing or a curse, it depends on fate. ’
What does it mean to be a blessing or a curse? Li Wei couldn't think clearly for a while, and Dong Xiaolong's red cloth belt was obviously to tell him to cherish the people in front of him, and the person in front of Dong Xiaolong should be himself, thinking of this, Li Wei's heart also became much more stable.
"I asked for a peace charm for you, and you can put it on your body from now on. Dong Xiaolong stretched out his right hand and handed the peace charm he had just asked for to Li Wei.
"Where's your own peace charm?" asked Li Wei.
"I don't need this, you just have it. "Dong Xiaolong's peace charm is his own cultivation strength, and he can only protect himself and the people around him by improving his own strength.
It turned out that he had asked for it specifically for himself. Li Wei felt a warm feeling in her heart, in her opinion, Dong Xiaolong meant that her safety was more important than herself. In fact, Dong Xiaolong also thinks so, but he doesn't know how to express it. This also made Li Wei understand that Dong Xiaolong actually cared about her very much, but he really couldn't express it.
Xiaoqing flew back to Dong Xiaolong's shoulder, and seeing that the sun was about to set, Dong Xiaolong and Li Wei quickly came to the entrance of the mountain. Looking at the long stone steps on the mountain, it is estimated that there are more than 600 steps. "Brother Wei doesn't deceive me, this height and order, forty minutes is his speed. ”
Looking at Li Wei's thin body, Dong Xiaolong suddenly felt a little distressed. If he used his physical strength to climb the six hundred stone steps, it might not take forty minutes, but it should be a little difficult for Li Wei. Li Wei looked at the long stone steps, and she inevitably felt a sense of fear in her heart.
"I'll carry you up. Dong Xiaolong said to Li Wei.
"Carry me?" Li Wei said in surprise, "You carry me up such a high mountain, are you sure you can?"
"Trust me!" Dong Xiaolong gave Li Wei a very firm look.
Li Wei looked at herself wearing a long skirt, lowered her head and whispered, "I'm wearing a skirt, you can't carry me." ”
Hearing Li Wei say this, Dong Xiaolong also understood what she meant, and walked up to a princess to pick up Li Wei.
"That's fine! Hurry, time is a little short. After speaking, Dong Xiaolong hugged Li Wei and quickly climbed the stone steps.
