Chapter 48 On the Qinhuai River

Guchu, Tianshui County, on the Qinhuai River.

At night, the lights are on, and there is a lively and bustling scene.

Two ordinary-looking men and women were sitting on the bow of a small boat passing by the Qinhuai River at this time.

On the surface of the river, there are many reflections, a fiery red and dim yellow.

The men wore dark robes and had rugged faces, while the women wore pale green dresses with average appearance.

This man and woman are the carefree and Ruotong after the disguise.

The collapse of the Dugu family in the Great Zhou Dynasty was only ten years ago, and Dugu Wuwu and Ruotong couldn't avoid walking around the territory of Gu Chu, but in order to prevent the enemies and Princess Taiping of Gu Chu and the three princes from worrying, plus Ruotong's appearance was too amazing, they had to dress up first.

Looking at the long streets on both sides of the Qinhuai River are brightly lit, the shops are lined up one after another, and the lively scene on the street rubbing shoulders with each other, Ruotong felt a burst of joy in her heart for no reason.

She meditates and practices in Tianmu Mountain all the year round, although her father often takes her to travel abroad, but in the face of the excitement of the world, out of nature, it is inevitable that she yearns and nostalgia in her heart!

For worry-free, the influence of the family environment when he was a child, he has long been surprised by such scenes, if there is anything that attracts him, it is the unique customs of this water town Zeguo, which really makes him amazed in his heart!

"Whoa—"

"Fireworks—" Ruotong said in surprise, and then quickly looked into the sky!

"Smack-"

Worry-free glanced at the sky, it is indeed a very beautiful firework!

With a soft sound, it flew into the air, and then spread out like a little starlight in all directions!

It's just that for him, in addition to revenge, he cares most about Senior Sister Ruotong!

Maybe it's right for them to leave Tianmu Mountain this time, and it's good to experience the world more!

Cultivators pay attention to entering the world and seclusion!

The improvement of cultivation cannot blindly rely on external forces, but more needs to experience the perseverance of the Dao heart that is still consistent after being washed by the red dust!

Out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons, this is the beginning of the avenue!

Worry-free and Ruotong, who pretended to be secular people, were somewhat tired after more than a month of traveling, and were planning to find an inn to spend the night, but Worry-free saw Ruotong seeing the lively scene on the side of the Qinhuai River, and his heart was somewhat happy.

So, he said to the slender man who was rocking the boat behind the two of them: "Boatman, stop at the bridge in front!"

"Howler!" replied the young and strong boatman, in a resounding voice.

"What?" Ruotong still asked, as if sensing the intention of worry-free.

"Since Senior Sister likes to be lively!, then Wuwu will take advantage of the rare time tonight to accompany Senior Sister to go shopping!"

"Giggles, since that's the case, then the senior sister is disrespectful!" Ruo Tongjiao laughed, and then said.

When the boat came to a stone bridge in front of it, it stopped, and then took out a little bit of broken silver from his sleeve and handed it to the boatman, then took Ruotong's jade hand and got off the boat together.

But Wuwu accompanied Ruotong on the street for a long time, and suddenly regretted his previous decision!

He finally deeply realized the "sorrow of being a man"!

After Ruotong goes to the street, he will buy any item he likes without hesitation!

It's a lot of fun!

In front of mortals, he couldn't use the storage function of the storage ring, so he could only follow Ruotong tightly with large and small items, but it attracted a strange look from others on the street!

Fortunately, the security on the Qinhuai River is good, and there are no gangsters or robbers.

After two hours, Ruotong seemed to have almost finished shopping, so he went to a nearby inn with Wuwu to spend the night.

In the early morning of the next day, when a ray of warm sunlight shone through the paper window to the upper room of one of the two rooms on the fifth floor of the inn, Wuwu and Ruotong walked out of these two rooms!

The two of them have put away their playfulness at this time, and after a night's rest, their spirits have recovered!

Today, the two are going to visit a senior monk at the Hanshan Temple on the nearby Gusu Mountain.

At first, the original intention of the two was to contact the former vassal family and the chess pieces that had been secretly laid out, but through the Louwailou of the Tianyuan Continent to collect various intelligence, they learned that the Hanshan Temple in Gusu Mountain, Tianshui County, was a hidden place in the Hanshan Temple of Gusu Mountain, Tianshui County, where Grandpa Sanssouci's friend Master Kuzen lived.

As one of the witnesses to the fall of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Master Kuzen also witnessed the beginning and end of the whole incident, compared to other things, what Wuwu wanted to know most urgently was the whereabouts of his grandfather and father, so he flew all the way to Tianshui County!

Gu Chu is a water town, and mortals either take a boat or cross the bridge as soon as they go out!

Worry-free and Ruotong got up relatively early at this time, just as the nascent morning sun on the horizon rose from the east.

The two of them boarded a small boat again and rushed from the Qinhuai River to Gusu Mountain.

On the way, there are rivers and lakes all the way.

On the boat to Gusu Mountain, Wuwu and Ruotong once again enjoyed a strange beauty!

Never been so close to the rising sun!

The sun seems to rise from the water, and the pale golden sunlight dyes the surface of the water yellow!

If it weren't for the two of them having something important, Worry-free and Ruotong really wanted to stop and enjoy this rare beauty!

After more than an hour of travel, the boat finally stopped at the foot of Gusu Mountain to the west of Taihu Lake.

Stepping on the ground, Wuwu and Ruotong pretended to be pilgrims who entered the temple to pray for blessings, followed the pilgrims who came early to offer incense nearby, and walked into Gusu Mountain.

On the mountain, there are thousands of stairs that lead from the bottom to the top

On both sides of the stairs, there are two plum groves, and the white plum blossoms that have not yet completely withered exude a burst of fragrance that is not too strong, but refreshing!

"It's so hard to be a man!" Wuwu sniffed the fragrance on the tip of his nose vigorously, looked at the dense stairs in front of him, and was dumbfounded, and after coming back to his senses for a long time, he immediately sighed.

"Giggles, it's time to exercise!" Ruo Tongjiao laughed, and then said with relief.

Due to the inconvenience of using mana in front of mortals, the two of them after more than two hours of climbing, worry-free sweating, if Tongxiang sweated, they gradually walked the thousands of steps and came to the halfway point of Gusu Mountain.

The two looked at the arch in front of them, and on the hanging plaque, the silver words "Hanshan Temple" were simple and solemn, which suddenly made their eyes light up at the same time!

Before entering the temple, the sound of chanting came out of the temple, which made the worry-free and Ruotong, who were a little overdrawn at this time, shocked!

There is an unspoken sense of comfort in the limbs, and at the same time, the soul seems to drift out of the sky, there is an inexplicable peace and peace!

Perhaps, that's what Zen tastes like!
