Seeing the car starting, Yu Mu connected the mobile phone around his neck to the sleeve, pulled it out from the collar of his sweater, shook it towards Lao Mai, and asked happily: "Brother Mai, look, is the mobile phone so good-looking?"

The new Ericsson T28SC phone was housed in a light suede phone pouch with a cartoon motif and wrapped around her slender neck with a floral lanyard.

The old wheat chicken nodded like a peck of rice and praised: "It looks good, Sister Miki looks good in everything." ”

Seeing that he didn't answer the question, Yu Mu sighed and shook his right arm vigorously.

Lao Mai said with a bitter face: "If you shake it again, Brother Mai will fall apart." ”

Yu Mu glanced at him with a sharp mouth, and suddenly became happy again: "Brother Mai, do you know, I was too sleepy last night, I fell asleep on the bed without taking a bath, my mother woke me up early this morning, I opened my eyes and looked, hey, I was at home, I didn't see Brother Mai, and I thought I had a good dream last night, so scared that I quickly opened my bag, and saw those few purchase orders and mobile phone cards, only to know that this was true, not a dream." ”

Lao Mai was very happy when he saw her rich expression, and then he was terrified, thinking that this girl looked like twenty-four or five years old, and that there were people who believed her when she was fourteen or five years old, so he reached out and kneaded her hair into a "Sadako" hairstyle.

"Alas, Brother Mai messed up my hair again, my hair is fine and dense, and it's messed up," Yu Mu grabbed the long shawl hair with one hand, and took out a rubber ring from Kun Bao with the other hand to tie it into a fluffy ponytail, oh no, squirrel tail braid.

Then, she chirped and said: "I have a mobile phone, and I will use the BB machine for my dad in the future, he often goes to walk birds, and talks nonsense with people everywhere, and I don't remember to go home for dinner when the time comes, so my mother calls him, hehe." ”

Lao Mai and Yu Mu talked and laughed all the way and sat in the car, when passing by the Wuxiangling Farmhouse Hotel with three forks, because it was nearly noon, they stopped and ordered a few dishes to fill their stomachs, and then got on the car and drove to a small road to turn right, walked for a while, and then came to the Wuxiang Taoist Temple in front of the newly repaired antique traditional style building.

Yu Mu and Lao Mai Ju came to the newly built Wuxiang Taoist Temple for the first time, and their original impression was that it was just a traditional single-building Taoist temple, but after seeing its scale, they felt very wrong.

There is a large area of flat land in front of the majestic new archway, which can park all kinds of vehicles, and behind the archway is a bluestone paved mountain path.

When the line is not long, I see a mountain gate made of white marble, the mountain road begins to be rugged and difficult to walk, the bluestone slab steps of the iron lock guardrail are all steps up, look at the roadside pointing to the stele, it seems that you have to go to the Jade Emperor Hall first, there are seven or eight Taoist palaces such as Lingbao Palace, Laojun Altar, Tianzun Fang, Sanqing Pavilion, Guantiantai and so on.

Along the way, there are many tourists who are slowly trekking while watching, it turns out that this is also a tourist scenic spot open to the outside world, coinciding with the New Year's Day, there are really a lot of people who come to climb the mountain to play.

After the three of them got out of the car and parked it, they walked up the mountain before crossing the mountain gate, and then no longer took the traditional way up the mountain.

Originally, Yu Mu was going to be carried by Lao Mai as soon as he walked through the archway, and when he got on his back, he said that he didn't sleep enough last night, and he was going to fall asleep in a daze.

Due to the turning and a little bumpy walking after changing the road, Yu Mu, who was woken up, asked sleepily: "Brother Mai, have you arrived at the place?"

They had come to the edge of a cliff with a guardrail, and Lao Mai said casually, "Here, sit down," and raised his hand to carry her into a large boat-shaped rattan basket, and sat on a futon, and the large rattan basket was docked at the opening of the guardrail.

When Yu Mu opened his eyes, he found that it was a hanging basket hanging on a thick iron cable like a cable car, this rattan basket was very large, and there were five or six futons in it, in addition to her and Lao Mai, there was also a middle-aged Taoist priest sitting cross-legged in front of him, wearing a bright yellow Taoist robe, with his back to them.

As soon as Ah Guang also jumped in and sat down cross-legged, he saw that the middle-aged Taoist priest pinched a few tricks, and as soon as he gave it away with his right hand, the rattan basket cable car flew diagonally upward.

Yu Mu's thin eyes widened suddenly, she saw that there was only a reel hanging from the rattan basket, and there was no leash, how could she suddenly rise up by herself?

She hurriedly tugged at Lao Mai's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Brother Mai, look, it's so weird, this cable car will move on its own." ”

Lao Mai had already seen that in front of the middle-aged Taoist priest who was sitting, there was a disc full of runes painted flat, which looked like a magic weapon for traction, and the Taoist priest was also a cultivator who fused the seventh and eighth stages of qi training in the later stage.

He touched Yu Mu's little brain melon and smiled: "This is a Taoist spell, you won't be surprised if you see more in the future." ”

Yu Mu sighed as if he didn't understand, and then he no longer fell asleep, and watched with interest the rattan basket cable car gliding quickly on the top of the large pine trees, and gradually the clouds and mist became thicker, and the rattan basket cable car was also shrouded in white mist.

In the white mist, the rattan gondola stopped at the entrance of a tall stone cave, and everyone walked down the cable car and entered the stone cave.

Yu Mu held Lao Mai's palm, curiously walked on the dry stone road of the stone cave road, the cave walls along the way were inlaid with bright wall lamps, and walked down obliquely for about 100 meters, and arrived at a tall and spacious stone room.

This stone room does not look like it is inhabited, but like a portal, I saw the middle-aged Taoist priest in front of a cave wall, waved his hand, the cave wall seemed to fade a layer of tulle, showing a door frame full of twisted runes, he stretched out his hand and pushed, an invisible door was opened.

The middle-aged Taoist priest bowed down and stretched out his hand to extend the guest into the door, and when everyone entered the door, what they saw was suddenly another world.

Inside the door seems to be a deep small valley, surrounded by ancient trees that cover the sky and the sun, vines are entangled, green grass is like a fairy tale world, there is no road in the valley, you can step on the fine grass to walk in.

In the deepest part of the valley, there is a small wooden house between several ancient trees, only to see the old man Mu Qingzi sitting on a futon in the house, closing his eyes for a long time, looking like a mossy clay carved wood sculpture, and there is a young Taoist boy sitting and dozing off by the door.

The middle-aged Taoist priest who led the way had quietly withdrawn, only Lao Mai, Yu Mu and Ah Guang walked in together, and they walked along the grass path to the wooden house where Mu Qingzi was meditating, and stood quietly.

Even Yu Mu didn't dare to look around, pulling the corner of the old Mai Yi, and quietly looked at the white-bearded old man inside the door of the wooden house.

The three of them stood quietly in front of the wooden house for a while, only to see Mu Qingzi wake up in his meditation, and smiled reluctantly: "Senior brother has already come." ”

Lao Mai nodded and saluted: "Senior brother in charge, I've been here for a while." ”

Mu Qingzi looked at Yu Mu with a little surprise and asked, "Who is this girl?"

Lao Mai touched Yu Mu's head and said, "This is my little girlfriend Yu Mu, by the way, I brought her over to play." ”

Yu Mu bit his lip and whispered, "The old Taoist is good." ”

"Well, okay," Mu Qingzi smiled at her, and then instructed Ah Guang, "Xiaoguang, take Miss Yu up the mountain to play, you can see that her body is relatively weak, call a sliding rod to follow." ”

"Yes, Master Zu," Ah Guang bowed in response, and turned to Yu Muyan's hand and said, "Miss Yu, please come with me." ”

Lao Mai patted Yu Mu on the shoulder and said, "Sister Miki, you go around and have fun first, and I'll discuss something with my senior brother." ”

Yu Mu nodded obediently, and walked over with Ah Guang, who wanted to take her out in the direction of the other side of the cabin.

When she passed by an unknown old tree, she suddenly looked at her in confusion, as if something attracted her.

At this time, Ah Guang had already opened a wooden door and beckoned her to go out, Yu Mu looked back at the ancient tree step by step, pointed his mouth for a while, and walked out of the wooden door.

After Lao Mai saw her back disappear, he turned back to Mu Qingzi and said, "Senior Brother in charge, it seems that your condition is not very good." ”

Mu Qingzi asked Lao Mai to enter the house and sit on another futon, the area of the cabin is not very large, but it is still not crowded to sit on a few people, it is empty except for a wooden table and a few futons, there is nothing else.

Lao Mai sat down, and felt a very strong smell of raw wood surrounding.

At this time, the little Taoist boy who was sitting and dozing outside the cabin and walking like a cat woke up, made a pot of tea for the two of them out of nowhere, and poured tea into two cups.

Mu Qingzi took a sip of tea and sighed: "Do you remember the strange wood bonsai I got back at the Kunming World Expo last year?"

"Remember," said Old Mai, looking around, not seeing where it was, "didn't it put it here?"

Mu Qingzi said: "Since I took it back here at that time, I have always kept it in this house, and recently I couldn't stand it anymore, so I sealed it in that ancient tree." ”

Lao Mai turned sideways and looked at an ancient tree pointed by Mu Qingzi, which was the same ancient tree that Yu Mu kept looking back at before leaving.

Lao Mai glanced at it a few times, felt that there was nothing unusual, and asked, "Senior brother, is there anything wrong with that strange wood bonsai?"

Mu Qingzi's spirit was very sluggish, and said: "I've been studying it, and there has been no result, it's still the original problem, if you get too close, it will suck my soul, and recently I feel that my spirit is much worse, and I always have the idea of ending my life." ”

Lao Mai unfolded his divine sense, probed the veins of Mu Qingzi's body, and felt that all kinds of vitality in his body were still safe and sound, and all kinds of veins were also unimpeded, but the whole person was like an old carriage that had expired in service, and there was a danger of collapse at any time.

So, he pondered his mind and thought about it for a long time before he spoke: "Senior brother, I can use the earth-based true yuan to inject into all parts of your flesh and five organs, and use the soil to nourish the wood, delay the collapse, or prolong your life for a few more years." ”

Mu Qingzi said with a wry smile: "I have lived for my brother for more than one hundred and seventy years, and I am already overage, what does it matter if I have a few more years or a few years, it is useless to consume your true yuan power, junior brother, you have always had to compress the true yuan and achieve the Jindan Dao." ”

Lao Mai said: "It doesn't matter, junior brother, it is very difficult for me to compress and condense the true yuan every day, and the earth aura inadvertently absorbed by the outside world also increases this difficulty. ”

"Okay, just do whatever you want," Mu Qingzi sat cross-legged on the futon, closed her eyes and recuperated, and said no more.
