Chapter 48: Xiuzhenfang City
"This Taoist friend is polite, I saw the Taoist friend standing in front of the door for a while, so I took it upon myself to welcome the Taoist friend in, if there is anything inappropriate, please forgive the Taoist friend" A middle-aged man who was about 30 years old smiled and said, his words were very kind.
This person is wearing a white Taoist robe, with a slanted collar and yellow edges, his long hair on his head is tied in a bun, a white hosta is inserted, his hair is wrapped in a white and green light yarn, and he is wearing a pair of Taoist shoes with blue cloth soles on his feet.
First of all, he was taken aback by this change, and Xiaobai, who was stunned, looked at the ground under his feet with steaming fog, the fog was very thick, just over the instep, and he couldn't see through, except for a few feet where the two of them were standing, but there was nothing transparent and clear around, that is, there was no fog and no ground.
Seeing that the Taoist did not look malicious, he let down his guard, and his curiosity rose. Xiao Bai cautiously probed his foot and took a small step, and suddenly the mist spread a few feet forward with Xiao Bai's advance, and before the footsteps were implemented, he retracted his feet again, and the instantly spread fog rolled back with his movements.
With the first foundation, Xiaobai was much bolder, so he stepped out heavily, watched the fog spread out, waited for the fog to spread, and then gently withdrew his feet, such as a few times, the strange color on Xiaobai's face became more and more funny, and then, the smile on his face became bigger and bigger, and after a while, he laughed, as if it was such an interesting thing to repeatedly step and close his legs.
This is really a magical world, Xiao Bai thought excitedly in his heart, if it weren't for the Taoist priest on the side, it is estimated that he would have to roll on the ground where there seems to be nothing.
After a long time, I remembered that I was in the middle of the air, and then I remembered something, I looked back at the attic on the mountain wall, and then saw the tourists looking this way behind the railing, but that look was by no means the expression of seeing myself standing quietly in the air.
Or out of the novelty of a child, Xiaobai waved his hand at the person, and when he was sure that the other party really couldn't see it, he laughed again.
"Hehe, I'm really sorry just now, senior, I just practiced qi, the first time I saw this kind of scene, I couldn't hold back my surprise, I didn't mean to snub my seniors, and I ask my seniors to forgive me" Xiaobai, who woke up from the novelty, looked like a Taoist priest, and also said with one hand, although he didn't know the level of the other party's skills, but this salute was really funny, and it was almost like bowing.
Although similar situations appear in the novel, they are all trying to cover up the characteristics of their novices as much as possible, but Xiaobai has long thought that if he really meets someone in his generation, no matter how he hides it, most of them can only cover his ears and steal the bell, because he is too Xiaobai among the same kind of people, he can say that he doesn't know anything, as long as he is a little vigilant and doesn't talk nonsense, even if he exposes his novice identity, there is nothing worth the other party's calculation.
After all, those who drive cars generally don't have much time to figure out how to get their hands on a bicycle from such a boring thing as a bicycler, and Xiaobai at this time, at most, walks on two legs.
The Taoist priest smiled and didn't care, as if he was used to seeing similar scenes, nodded slightly to this little white, and walked in front to lead the way.
After walking about 100 meters along the passage, the Taoist priest stopped, then took out a palm-sized yellow jade plaque from his arms, and slashed it in front of him, and suddenly, a large gap visible to the naked eye cracked open to both sides, revealing the scenery behind the void.
Looking back at the back, it was obvious that he had just walked so far, but the distance from the attic seemed to be several miles, but he looked at the feet again, and at this time he had just walked to the edge of the mountain stream. Fortunately, today can be regarded as an eye-opener, and under the signal of the Taoist priest, he stepped through the crack in the door.
As soon as he stepped into the door, Xiao Bai felt as if he had arrived in another space, and the abundant aura of heaven and earth was blowing in his face, and the pores of his whole body were about to open up.
In front of you is a valley with mountains and lakes, and in the southeast corner of the valley, a magnificent Taoist temple has been built according to the mountain, and half of the mountain wall is included. Among the many pavilions, the one at the top of the hill looks resplendent with gilded cornices and colorful beams and columns that gleam in the sun.
The mountain gate in the ancient tree forest is black lacquered vermilion eaves, and the wall is carved with various colors of flying sky. On the vast dojo behind the mountain gate, there is a bronze tripod that is several zhang high, standing alone in the center of the ground with gossip patterns, glowing with cold green glow, giving people a kind of domineering spirit of a unique town.
Along the mountain gate down, a bluestone paved path through a large area of lush woods, when about to poke out of the woods, built a tall gatehouse, eight pillars and nine eaves of dripping, on the plaque in the middle of the gatehouse, Wudang two words vigorous dragon and snake dance, emitting a golden light.
From such a distance, it gives people a mountain-like coercion.
Seeing these two words, Xiaobai originally saw the joy and excitement of his peers in an instant, like the waves of a big river, such a domineering and respectful formation, even if he borrowed his ten courages, he did not dare to hit the crooked idea to Wudang's martial arts again.
Passing through the gatehouse, the path extends quite a bit, and then it joins a wide avenue.
In the north of the valley, there are several lakes of different sizes, and many small buildings of two or three percent are built next to the lakes, and each small building is isolated by a fence in front of a small courtyard, and some flowers and plants are planted. There is a wide distance between the buildings, and the verdant grass is planted with hugging locust trees, sandalwood trees or green bamboo.
In the middle of the valley, there is a particularly large lake, the lake is scattered to build a piece of quaint pavilions, the pavilions see the meandering hook or bamboo or wood plank road, in the clear water and blue lotus to see the style is outstanding.
On the west side of the valley, where Xiaobai entered, there were three parallel circular streets on both sides, and on both sides of the street were rows of shops, and in the northwest corner of the valley, there was a large market, and at this time only half of the stalls were displayed.
There are not many people wandering around the streets, and the occasional person is in and out of the shop in a hurry, and I don't know what I'm busy with.
The middle-aged Taoist priest left after bringing Xiao Bai in, and Xiao Bai quietly looked at this strange world for a long time, and then raised his legs and walked along the street with a heavy heart.
Because he was afraid that the owners of these shops would have any taboos, Xiaobai generally watched silently, rarely asking questions, even if he saw something really curious, he forcibly endured it, for fear of annoying the shopkeeper and causing nameless trouble.
This kind of cautious situation did not improve until he saw a bookstore named Sanyou, Xiaobai carefully observed and asked, customers can look at the books on the left shelf of the bookstore at will, even if they don't buy it. As for the brocade box on the Nanmu trellis on the right, and the jade slips taken out of the brocade box, they were all taken by the shopkeeper himself.
Due to the growth of his divine sense, Xiaobai now looks at the book very quickly, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is ten lines at a glance, but there are not many that can be directly memorized, and it is stronger than before.
But for him, who is eager to learn at this time, it is not a problem at all, and it is not necessary to completely grasp it after reading it, just to know a rough outline.
When Xiaobai woke up, it was already the beginning of the moon.
