Chapter 2 Returning from Leave and Wanting to Get Out of Slavery

Since crossing over, Cheng Yunfan has gone to the top of the mountain at dawn every day to practice the "Purple Yang One Qi Sutra" and inhale the purple qi of the rising sun.

The back mountain is only a mile away from the Foreign Affairs Hall of Baiyun Temple, and it will be there in a moment.

Explain the reason to the deacon disciple on duty, and the disciple said that Steward Liu of the Foreign Affairs Hall is now sitting in the inner hall, and if he wants to take leave, he must go to the inner hall.

It turned out that the tengu eclipse half a month ago alarmed the lord of Eastern Fujian. The royal division Tiantai couldn't tell what the lord was, and for a while, the people in the court were panicked, and the people were even more rumored. In order to avoid the deterioration of the situation, the lord of the Eastern Fujian Kingdom issued an order to summon the three major contemplators of the Eastern Fujian Kingdom into the palace to discuss the state of the country.

The Baiyun Guanguan Lord Banshan Dao Chief received the decree and hurried into the palace with the three hall masters and the deacons of the Internal Affairs Hall. The affairs of the temple are temporarily taken care of by the big disciples, and the halls can't be separated for a while, so they have to send the manager of the Foreign Affairs Hall to help.

Along the way, Cheng Yunfan was still muttering: Isn't it just a total solar eclipse, what good luck can there be, these ancients are really making a fuss. It seems that it really responds to the trendy saying "no culture, it's terrible".

Baiyun Temple has the distinction between inner and outer doors, and the access control is strict. Miscellaneous disciples like Cheng Yunfan belong to the outer gate, and they are not allowed to enter the inner gate without anything, and they must hold a token to pass through if they have something.

To the inner door guard, the card inspection is correct, and Cheng Yunfan finally enters the inner door.

The inner door is the core of the Baiyun Temple, and there are the four pole halls, the three temples and the patriarch hall in turn, and then the backyard where the lord of the temple, the hall master and his disciples live, practice martial arts, and seek the Tao, and the three halls are the living places of the deacons of the inner gate.

Cheng Yunfan stood still outside the outermost four-pole hall, waiting for Steward Liu on duty, while looking at the statues in the hall. When the original owner came to Baiyun Temple, after signing and painting, there were also senior brothers who took him to see all the halls and halls of Baiyun Temple, because he was still young, his memory was very vague, and he was hasty, so he naturally did not have a deep impression of the worship of each hall.

Now, from the perspective of a person from another world, Cheng Yunfan looks at the offerings in the Four Poles Palace, and he has a special feeling. In this world, the Xuanmen Taoists did not have the three clears, let alone the eight immortals and the four heavenly masters. The most well-known in the world and enshrined for the Daomen are the Three Sages, the Four Emperors and the natal gods of each region.

Like this Baiyun Temple, the innermost Baiyun Temple is dedicated to the god Lihuo Zhenjun of the Lingnan Region. The three temples are dedicated to Hongmeng Daozu, Bodhi Patriarch, and the mother of the human race, Wa Huang, the three saints have no real body statues, and the worship is only a tablet. The Four Poles Hall is different, enshrined in the Arctic Crape Myrtle Emperor, the Antarctic Immortal Emperor, the West Pole Gou Chen Emperor, and the East Pole Aoki Emperor. Compared with the Three Sages, the Four Great Emperors are more well known to the world in Lingnan, and they all have real body statues and dojo inheritance, so it looks more real and credible.

It is believed that the Arctic Crape Myrtle Emperor Dojo is located in the Beichen Cave of Ziwei Mountain in the north and is in charge of Zhou Tian Xingchen; the South Pole Immortal Emperor Dojo is in the Changsheng Cave of Nantianmen Mountain in the south, and is in charge of Zhou Tian Wanling; the West Pole Gouchen Emperor resides in the Xianchi Palace of Xihua Mountain, is in charge of Zhou Tian Wanlei and presides over the affairs of the military revolution; and the East Pole Aoki Emperor resides in the Changchun Cave of the East Emperor Mountain, is in charge of Zhou Tian Wanmu and presides over the blessings and misfortunes of the world.

Cheng Yunfan felt that the statues of the Four Great Emperors, the Emperor Ziwei was the most profound and had a sense of being out of reach; the Immortal Emperor was old and respectful; the Emperor Gou Chen was majestic and solemn and could not be approached; and the Aoki Emperor had a kind face and a sense of kinship. As for whether they are really like this, it is unknown, after all, there are countless things that have been handed down for thousands of years.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

At the right time, a middle-aged Taoist man dressed in a gorgeous robe with a thin face walked over and coughed slightly.

When Cheng Yunfan heard this, he hurriedly returned to his senses, and saw that it was Liu in charge, and after respectfully saluting, he would make his intentions clear. After speaking, he stood respectfully aside.

Steward Liu sat down on the deacon platform, and after a little muttering, he said: "Okay, although we are waiting for the Tao, emphasizing pure heart and few desires, and staying away from the red dust, but after all, you have been on the mountain for a short time, and you have not really entered the Tao, and you have been granted a leave of absence, so as to fulfill your filial piety, and make a full wish, and return to the view after half a month, without delay." ”

Hearing that the holiday was approved, Cheng Yunfan realized that half of the matter was done, so he hurriedly thanked him.

Steward Liu was unmoved, and instructed the consul disciples beside him to give ten taels of silver as a qualification.

The silver received thanks, Cheng Yunfan didn't stop, went back to the simple wooden house where he lived, and looked at this hut with only five or six square meters, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After only staying here for half a month, I felt deeply bound, and I don't know how the original owner survived more than three years, and it seems that it is natural to get used to it.

I couldn't help but sigh: habit is such a terrible thing!

Once he had made up his mind to escape, he quickly packed up the package, not much things, nothing more than two changes of clothes, a small blanket containing miscellaneous items, which contained his own Taoist credentials, a book for identifying herbs, a booklet for a brief introduction to Baiyun Temple, more than ten taels of silver accumulated before, plus what had just been given, a total of more than 20 taels, which was also considered to be a small amount of wealth, enough to deal with a period of time.

Bring enough dry food and water, dress neatly, and look around, Fang Jue has no wrong pool, and he wants to go down the mountain.

Before he went out, he suddenly heard someone calling him outside: "Senior Brother Cheng, Senior Brother Cheng, didn't you go to collect medicine today?"

Before the words fell, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy broke into the wooden house, the young man was wearing a white-washed robe, his eyebrows were clear, his body was quite tall, he carried a three-foot Qingfeng on his waist, and he was surrounded by the pride of a person who had been practicing martial arts for a long time.

Seeing Cheng Yunfan sorting out the package, the young man was a little surprised and asked, "Senior Brother Cheng, where are you going?"

Cheng Yunfan turned around and smiled at the young man. Search the memory of the original owner of this young man in his mind, although this young man named Nangong Wuji entered the Baiyun Temple half a year later than the original owner, he is already a personal disciple prepared by the Baiyun Temple. It is said that in August this autumn, the disciple will be accepted as a personal transmission by the master of the Mid-Levels Temple.

He is the only friend of the original owner in Baiyun Temple, why should he deign to make a miscellaneous disciple for a disciple of Baiyun Temple. This starts with a year ago when the original owner saved Nangong Wuji, who was practicing the qi, when Nangong Wuji practiced the Baiyun Thirteen Swords of Baiyun Temple, he was bent on pursuing quick success, but he almost went mad.

At the critical juncture, the original owner used a Qingling grass that he had unintentionally picked to save Nangong Wuji, and the two have had a relationship since then. Nangong Wuji was born in a declining Jiangmen family, although he usually speaks little, and his face is cold as facial paralysis, but he is also straightforward, he has kindness and revenge, and he is very interested in the original owner who has the grace to save his life.

The original owner's spitting technique and rough fist and foot kung fu were all taught privately by Nangong Wuji. Recently, he has been planning to teach Cheng Yunfan to practice the Thirteen Swords of Baiyun, but Cheng Yunfan is taboo about his identity, and he privately teaches martial arts in Baiyun Temple. I was afraid that Nangong Wuji would be affected, so I kept dragging it out.

Thinking of leaving this time, I don't know when and when I will be able to meet this only "friend" again. Cheng Yunfan also had a trace of reluctance in his heart, his words were a little sad and dull, and he said: "Senior Brother Nangong, I have already told Steward Liu that I have returned with leave, there are some things at home, we will see you then." ”

Cheng Yunfan gritted his teeth, but still said words that implied goodbye.

Nangong Wuji saw that Cheng Yunfan was a little strange today, thinking that he hadn't gone home for a few years, and some things on his mind were inevitable, so he didn't say anything more. patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, pay attention to safety on the road, and when you come back, you will learn swords from me, but you can't delay it any longer." The practice of martial arts, if you slow down for a day, your cultivation will be lowered to the next level. ”

"Hmm!" Cheng Yunfan nodded in response with a thick nasal voice, and actually hugged the young man in front of him, Cheng Yunfan knew in his heart that this was a trace of obsession in the depths of the original owner's soul, so he did not obstruct it and let it do what he wanted.

The moment Nangong Wuji was embraced, his body was stunned for a moment, then he came back to his senses, and patted Cheng Yunfan's back comfortingly: "Don't worry, when I am promoted to a personal disciple, I will definitely ask the Lord to give you back your free body, and you will be able to practice martial arts and cultivate in the future." ”

When he said this, Cheng Yunfan's body couldn't help but shudder, and a throbbing rose from the depths of his soul.

He almost couldn't control his own tears, trying to suppress the inexplicable throbbing in the depths of his soul.

"This, you take it, use it for self-defense on the road. Nangong Wuji said and took out a small black crossbow from his arms, although it was only the size of a palm, it was very delicate.

Such a delicate thing must be Nangong Wuji's love, and it looks like it is worth a lot of money, Cheng Yunfan wanted to shirk it, but Nangong Wuji saw what he meant, and without saying a word, he directly stuffed the small crossbow into his arms.

Seeing this, Cheng Yunfan had no choice but to accept it, took up his burden, said goodbye to his "friends" standing at the gate of the courtyard, and strode down the mountain.

About a moment later, he came to the mountain gate at the foot of the mountain, handed over the fake card to the disciples guarding the mountain, and changed a temporary guide made by Baiyun Temple, Cheng Yunfan turned his head and looked at Baiyun halfway up the mountain for the last time, and left.

After walking about ten miles of mountain roads, it was already noon.

Cheng Yunfan was also a little tired, found a mountain stream, washed his face, sat on the bluestone of the stream, and took out dry food for lunch. According to the footsteps, he had to rush to Baiyun Town, thirty miles away, before dark, where there was a carriage leading directly to Wanghai City.

The Guanri Mountain, where the Baiyun Temple is located, is located in Wanghai Prefecture, which is the closest place to the Lingnan Mountains in the Eastern Fujian Kingdom, and is almost the northeastern boundary of the Eastern Fujian Kingdom. Subdivided, the mountain behind Baiyunguan is already the outer edge of the Lingnan Mountain. The reason why this Baiyun Temple chose to live in such a remote place is said to be to suppress the evil spirit of the Lingnan fierce land and protect the country and the people.

In addition to the Baiyun Temple, on the southwest border of Eastern Fujian, there is also Zhenhai Temple on the island bordering Nanyue Kingdom, plus the Dragon and Tiger View of the capital, and it is respected as the three major views of Eastern Fujian, and it is extremely prestigious in the East Fujian Dynasty and the opposition.

As for Baiyun Temple, whether it can really suppress the evil spirit of Lingnan, Cheng Yunfan is unknown. His only thought now is to get out of Wanghai Prefecture as soon as possible, get out of the Baiyun Temple, and seek freedom. According to the plan, when I arrived in Baiyun Town, I took the carriage to Wanghai City, got off halfway and went west, and went out of the border of Eastern Fujian as soon as possible, and went to South Vietnam, and even Xigui was the best strategy for survival.
