Chapter 961: Walking the Road and Observing the Dao
After listening to the description of the ancestors of Jiangjia Village by the young man of Jiangjia Village, Hou Xiaohu's heart was full of yearning. And the shy but enthusiastic young man from Jiangjia Village also took a dip in water (he was originally going to release the water, but was stopped by Hou Xiaohu), and dragged Hou Xiaohu, who had not yet walked away, to the small square in the valley.
Although Hou Xiaohu has calmed down now, he also knows that now is not the time to go to participate in the activities of Jiangjia Village.
He politely declined the invitation of the young man from Jiangjia Village and re-embarked on the road to Qishan Temple.
The view of Qi Mountain is on the highest peak of Qi Mountain, from the fork in the road behind the wooden archway of Jiangjia Village along the upward road, slowly the terrain is getting steeper and steeper, and the road is becoming more and more difficult to walk.
And as we went up and down, the little square at the end of the road became farther and farther away, and the voices of the people became quieter and quieter, and after turning a corner, the light of the campfire in the little square of the valley was no longer visible, and the voices of the people were completely inaudible.
However, after turning that corner, the ridge path, which had been going up, gradually widened and the road became smoother.
Hou Xiaohu, who had been in the mountains and forests north of Zhongzhou for a long time, knew that perhaps the Qishan Temple was not far from him.
After some further progress, two boulders several feet high suddenly appeared on the road, squeezing the flat and open ridge road into a very narrow road at once.
After Hou Xiaohu walked here, he stopped first, glanced at the two boulders, and found that the two boulders were obviously connected with the Qishan Mountain on the ground, and they were the two mountain spires.
Three huge characters were engraved on the boulder on the left, if it weren't for Hou Xiaohu deliberately taking a few steps forward, I'm afraid he wouldn't have noticed the gray font engraved on the boulder in the dark night-
Qishan view
The three big characters, each half a person high, are carved on the mountain boulder, but because of the passage of time, the color has faded, and now it is also the same light gray as the mountain boulder.
However, after seeing these three big characters, Hou Xiaohu was somewhat relieved. Although his anxious mood calmed down somewhat when he saw the lively and warm scene in the small square before, after all, the Black Wind Horse is Hou Xiaohu's heart now, and his heart is actually quite restless. Even when he listened patiently to the young man of Jiangjia Village telling the deeds of the ancestors of Jiangjia Village, Hou Xiaohu was still reluctant to keep himself from always leaving in a hurry.
Now that he has seen the three words Qishan Guan, it means that he will soon be able to see the "Qishan Jiang Doctor" recommended by the innkeeper, which means that his Black Wind Horse's illness has been cured.
Without hesitation, Hou Xiaohu walked along the path between the two mountains, and after a short time, he crossed the path and came to an open field.
By some dim light, not far in front of the open field, there were several houses arranged in order. Looking at the style of those houses, it has a bit of Taoist appearance.
Hou Xiaohu stood on the open ground, seeing that the rooms were quiet, and he didn't hear anyone's voice, but he still clenched his hands into fists very politely, and bowed deeply to the bright room in the middle and said, "Under Hou Xiaohu, come and ask to see Doctor Jiang." ”
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a "squeak", but the lighted room in the middle had already been opened, and a little girl of seven or eight years old with pigtails laboriously opened the two doors that were twice her height, and then crossed the high threshold, and stood on the stone steps with a small lantern in her hand.
"Are you Hou Xiaohu? Master has been waiting for you for a long time, come in quickly." The little girl's voice was soft and sweet, and Hou Xiaohu felt crispy in his bones when he heard it, but the little girl's words made Hou Xiaohu stunned, but Hou Xiaohu still suppressed the doubts in his heart first, and said with a fist salute, "Thank you." ”
The little girl glanced at Hou Xiaohu again, and left a sentence that made Hou Xiaohu feel a little speechless, and went into the room without looking back:
"You look quite ordinary, why is the master looking forward to you so much?"
I could only hear the black line on Hou Xiaohu's head.
