3O, Unknown Boy (3)
Xuangui prayed for a long time, and suddenly heard the sound of the bell faintly under the mountain, which is the sound of the gold-domed bell in the Wudang Sanqing Temple, which is the sound of emergency transmission, and it will be sounded only when encountering the most important and urgent matter. After Li Xiangru arrived in Wudang, he never heard it ring, but Qingyun told him a lot of stories on the mountain, Qingyun also said that after Yuxiu Shibogong died in the capital, the head of the master Yushu returned to Wudang with his ashes, and then rang the gold-domed bell, but at that time Li Xiangru was unconscious and could not hear, Qingyun told him that he had been in Wudang for more than ten years, but he had heard it twice, and the other time was because of what and when it rang, he did not say that Li Xiangru did not ask. Although Li Xiangru heard these things, he didn't know that the bell sounded this time from the gold-domed bell.
He didn't know, but Gu Mufeng and Xuan Gui did.
When the two heard the bell, their faces couldn't help but change. Xuangui got up from the ground, and the two hurried down the mountain. Li Xiangru felt slightly strange when he saw the two of them walking in such a hurry, but he vaguely guessed that the bell of the right person was related. When the two of them walked far away and couldn't see their figures, he came out from behind the rocks, and when he reached the side of the cliff, he saw that the dark paper burned by Xuan Gui Shicai had not yet melted, and the green incense was still emitting smoke, ethereal under the blowing of the mountain wind.
He stood dumbfounded for a while, thinking back to Xuan Gui's heartfelt repentance for his death in the past few years, but the culprit Gu Mufeng was indifferent. After thinking about it for a long time, I suddenly remembered the scene when the two of them left in a hurry just now, and thought: "Just now they left so quickly, could it be that Wulu has changed, as a disciple of Wudang, Wudang has a great favor to me, if Wudang encounters a critical matter, how can I sit idly by, besides, I have to rush back to see my master and master!" Thinking of my sudden resurrection, my master and master couldn't help but be full of strength when they saw that they didn't know how happy they would be.
He turned around and went down the hill along the road, and suddenly it occurred to him that he had been lonely and isolated from the world for five years, and that he had become like a wild man, and that the clothes and trousers of a few years ago had long since become ill-fitting, and that he had barely put them on his body to hide his shame and avoid the cold, but he was tattered and unsightly, and the head man was long, dirty, and unkempt. He thought, "I have to take a shower first, find a set of clothes to put on, and then go and see my master and master in a good way." "While thinking about the line, not long after passing the Wangri Pavilion, along the "Wangri Pavilion" trail down the mountain can go straight to Wudang, this road he used to walk very well, know that Wudang Mountain is splashed by streams everywhere, there is a stream on the way down the mountain.
As soon as he thought of taking a bath, he was itchy and extremely uncomfortable, immediately quickened his pace, and ran down the mountain with a smoke, he was very good at this time, climbing high and low, it was a breeze, but seeing him on the extremely dangerous trail like walking on the ground, not long, he arrived at the middle of the mountain, there was a stream in the mountain stream more than ten zhang away from the trail, and the sound of the stream could be heard in the distance.
Li Xiangru heard this voice, such as listening to the sound of the sky, a few arrows rushed over, but saw a stream in the stream straight down, where the stream flowed, there was a pond with a radius of two or three zhang, the pond was like a mirror, and the bottom was clearly visible, Li Xiangru couldn't bear it anymore, as soon as he jumped into the pond, the cool stream water soaked into the skin, and an indescribable comfort penetrated into the 36,000 pores on the body, Li Xiangru shouted loudly, removed the rags on his body a few times, threw them on the side of the rocks, and played in the water.
He had never bathed so happily on the hanging wall in five years, only on a windy and rainy day, he stripped himself and let the rain wash away, which he called "heavenly bath", lying in the water as he did now, enjoying the kisses and bathing of the stream, he did not know how many times he had in his dreams, he closed his eyes, and he didn't even bother to move.
I don't know how much time has passed, the sun has moved west, Li Xiangru opened his eyes, and suddenly remembered the previous bell and Xuan Gui, Gu Mufeng's panicked expression, could it be that something really happened to Wudang? Thinking of this, he hurriedly stood up from the pond, took the rag clothes and put them on, and chose the road down the mountain and went straight to Wudang.
But half an hour later, he arrived at the back mountain of Wudang, Li Xiangru was afraid that he would be misunderstood for a villain, and looked at the ragged shirt on his body, which was short and torn, and he really didn't look like it, and thought: "I must first find a set of clothes that fit and put on, and go to see the master and the master and others decently." After pondering for a moment, thinking that he lived with Qingyun, his size did not get along with him, so it was better to secretly go to Senior Brother Qingyun first, explain everything to him clearly, and then ask him for a set of clothes to put on, and it was not too late to meet everyone in the door.
After making up his mind, he climbed into the wall of the backyard of Wudang, and when he arrived in the courtyard, he found that there was no one around, and his heart was strange, you must know that there are hundreds of disciples on Wudang Mountain, who clean the fallen leaves, practice martial arts, and grow vegetables in the back garden, and can see people in all corners, but today not only can no one see or say, but there is not even a trace of sound, as if even the birds in the trees do not know where to go, this extraordinary silence makes Li Xiangru feel uneasy.
He had wanted to use trees or houses as cover to make a detour and crapped into the hut where he and Qingyun had lived before, but now that there was no one around, he swaggered straight to the hut. When I got to the front of the house, everything was still the same, and it hadn't changed much from five years ago. He first called a few times at the door: "Senior Brother Qingyun, Senior Brother Qingyun!" and no one responded. He took a few steps forward and pushed the door, which was originally hidden, but after he pushed, it opened with a "squeak".
Li Xiangru entered the house, saw that the house was cleaned, and saw the wooden bed he slept on before, the bedding on the bed was still the same as five years ago, although it was a little old, but it was clean, neatly folded, and meticulous. He knew that this was done by Qingyun, and thought, "Senior Brother Qingyun still loves cleanliness so much. They all thought I was dead, I don't know who is sleeping in this bed now?" When they arrived at the bed on the east side, they saw two sets of neatly folded Taoist robes placed at the head of the bed, and Li Xiangru knew that this was the clothes worn by Qingyun. He picked it up and shook it off, then peeled off his old clothes, threw them out the window, and put on Qingyun's clothes. Qingyun is slightly shorter than him at this time, but his clothes basically fit well.
Li Xiangru got dressed, and then used a wooden comb to comb his long hair, which had not been cut for many years, and then tied it with a cloth belt. He walked out of the room and thought to himself, "I have to go and see Master and Master first, and then ask what happened to this door?"
Yushu Road Chief is in the northwest, next to the Sanqing Palace, Li Xiangru walked along the stone road, the stone steps road for a while, but you can see the eaves of the Sanqing Palace.
