Outside the Source Mirror City.

Forest paths, winding and twisting.

There is gurgling water, clear and cold.

There are birds chirping and insects chirping, whispering and fragrant flowers.

"Today, when the war is raging, it is rare to find such a clean place. ”

Qingyuan said: "Ge Lao's old man, I think he is also an elegant person?"

Mr. Ge smiled: "He is indeed an elegant man, but the front is not his residence, but only his temporary residence. ”

Qingyuan looked around and said with a smile: "What kind of place was this place?"

"Taoism. ”

Mr. Ge pointed ahead and said, "Mingyuan Taoist Temple." ”

Kiyohara followed his line of sight and saw a mountain at the end of the trail ahead.

The mountain road takes the white stone as the steps, winds up, and in the middle of the mountainside, there is a Taoist temple, the clouds and mist linger, and it is the scenery of the fairy family.

......

"Mingyuan Taoist Temple began in the early Tang Dynasty, after the end of the Tang Dynasty when the war rose, the then master moved the Taoist Temple out of the city, settled in this mountain, secluded from the world, and was not subject to the chaos of war. ”

Mr. Ge said: "Until now, it has been passed down for many years. ”

Kiyohara looked at it carefully for a moment, slightly startled.

Where the Taoist temple is located, the traces of the mountain are gathered, which can be described as a spiritual cave, the wind is good, the water is clear, and the feng shui is excellent.

"What a good place, the person who chose to establish the Taoist temple is also proficient in the way of feng shui. ”

Walk up the stone steps to the entrance of the Taoist temple.

When Qingyuan walked, he silently counted it, no more, no less, exactly 1,300 steps.

The Taoist temple is simple, although there are some carvings such as eaves beasts, but it is not very exquisite.

The gate is open, but no one is waiting.

It was only by chance that a young Taoist priest came out carrying water and saw them.

"How many?"

The young Taoist priest put down the bucket and trotted up to make a salute.

"The old man's surname is Ge. ”

Ge Lao returned the salute slightly, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yunjing is here?"

When the young Taoist priest heard this, he was immediately surprised and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Yunjing's friend?"

Ge Lao smiled and said, "Yes." ”

The young Taoist priest Shi Li said: "Mr. Yunjing came early this year, and he has been living in the temple for more than half a month, so I will bring a few of them over." ”

Mr. Ge nodded and entered.

Kiyohara and others followed on the side.

Suddenly, Kiyohara's eyes glanced and landed on the mandrill's body.

This mandrill is not as calm as before, and its steps are a little vain.

Qingyuan vaguely knew something, and frowned: "Uncomfortable?"

Mandrill said in a low voice, a little hoarse, "This place is so dull and overwhelming. ”

"Taoist temples and other places do suppress monsters and spirits, but you have already preliminarily condensed into true qi, and you can be regarded as a beginner in the door of cultivation. Qingyuan said in a low voice: "Get used to it for a while, and you'll be fine." ”

The mandrill snorted and fell silent.

Qingyuan looked around, this temple is only a small view from a distance, but after entering, he found that it is divided into several courtyards, and the scale is not small.

But looking at the courtyard, although it is simple, there are many places such as planting trees, opening ponds, as well as carvings, railings, stone bricks, etc., and the five elements are balanced, which is in line with the science of feng shui.

"The master of the Mingyuan Taoist Temple has always been a master of feng shui, and many people in the Tang Dynasty Qin Tianjian in the past were born in the Mingyuan Taoist Temple. ”

Ge Lao saw his surprise and said: "The dragon search points and the observation of feng shui methods used by many Jianghu warlocks today are from the Dragon Shaking Book, and this book was compiled by the Mingyuan Taoist Temple in the Tang Dynasty. ”

When the young Taoist priest in front heard this, he smiled happily and said, "Yes, I heard the master say that the Tang Emperor wanted to find a burial pit and build a mausoleum for himself after his death. ”

At that time, the national teacher was invited to search for the location, and later the national teacher found the place and buried the copper coin under the soil as a mark. ”

Then Emperor Tang also wanted to try the level of his own sect, so he invited the ancestor to go. The patriarch also spent some effort to find a secret place of feng shui, broke a dead branch, and inserted it in the ground. ”

His eyebrows were raised, very proud, "Later, Emperor Tang ordered someone to look for it, and found that the dead branch was inserted in the ground, just in the hole of the copper coin. ”

Qing Yuan glanced at Ge Lao.

Ge Lao nodded and said, "The old man has heard about this, and it is indeed true. ”

Qingyuan couldn't help but praise: "Your ancestor is really profound in this feng shui way. ”

"It's nature. The young Taoist priest said with a smile: "Originally, the Tang Emperor wanted to establish this sect as the state religion, but the patriarch was indifferent to fame and fortune, so he gave up. ”

While a few people were talking, they came to a courtyard again.

......

"Mr. Cloud Mirror. ”

The young Taoist priest stood outside the courtyard and said, "You have a few friends who have come to visit. ”

"Please come in. ”

The voice was warm and flat, like the water of a clear spring.

Several people entered the room with them.

There was one man sitting cross-legged.

This man was about forty years old, white-faced, beardless, dressed in pale white clothes, dressed as a Confucian scholar. He had a gentle expression and a smile on his face.

On his side, placed a roll of bamboo slips.

There was a coffee table in front of him, and some tea sets were placed.

Not going out to greet the guests does not mean that he is rude, because he is already working on rinsing the tea soup.

The fragrance is fragrant, just one sniff, and the spirit will be shocked.

Ge Lao gave a salute, bowed and said, "I've seen Mr. Yunjing." ”

"I haven't seen you for many years, and I didn't think you were still in the world. ”

The scribe sighed and sighed a lot, "I thought that you were buried in the battlefield after the defeat of Ge Zhan. ”

Ge Lao said in a low voice: "Lucky escape." ”

The scribe sighed and said, "If the Ming Duke had listened to me back then, after calming down the situation, he would have escaped as soon as possible, and he would not have fallen deeper and deeper. ”

Qingyuan knew that Ge Xiang's name was Ge Shangming, and the Ming Gong here was referring to Ge Xiang.

It turns out that the Mr. Yunjing in front of him is still Ge Xiang's old friend?

Mr. Ge, is he not just an ordinary military Chinese post?

"Sit. ”

Mr. Yunjing pointed ahead.

Ge Lao and the others sat down separately.

Mr. Yunjing and Mr. Ge sighed with emotion, quite embarrassed.

Qingyuan took a sip of tea, the entrance was fragrant, astringent and clean, not vulgar. He couldn't help but think of the cup of tea he drank in the mountain grass house that day, which was also extraordinary.

"Who is this?"

Mr. Yunjing glanced at Qing Yuan, revealing a puzzled look.

Ge Lao said: "This is Mr. Qingyuan, who came with me and saved my and Xiao Yu's lives. ”

When Mr. Yunjing heard this, he gave a salute and said, "Mr. is kind, Yunjing has thanked you here." ”

Qingyuan also returned to him and said: "Old Ge is kind, like an elder, Xiaoyu is more like a sister, why do you need to thank you for saving people?"

They were polite.

Mr. Yunjing looked at the mandrill again, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he passed in an instant, his expression was as usual, and he smiled: "This is again?"

Qingyuan and Ge Lao were silent for a moment, glanced at each other, and did not reply immediately.

After a while, Qingyuan said slowly: "Gu Cang." ”

This mandrill itself is an ape, also a monkey.

The word 猢 went to the side of the beast, it was Gu Yue, and the middle word was taken, and the surname was Gu.

In the name of the sky.

Hence the name...... Gu Cang.
