Chapter 3 Guanwang Temple at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain

It is said that there is an old mountain in the northern suburbs of the capital, which is called Yunmeng Mountain.

The peaks of Yunmeng Mountain are towering into the clouds, the ancient trees on the mountain are towering, and there are countless rare and exotic beasts. There is a dilapidated Taoist temple under the mountain, named "Guanwang Temple". Guanwang Temple is built on the mountain and has fallen into disrepair for a long time. There is a wooden long couplet in front of the temple, the upper couplet seems to have been smoked by the fire, the handwriting is no longer recognizable, and the lower couplet is "the green scarf is against the green history, the green dragon and the moon, and the hidden place is worthy of the blue sky". The bell and drum pavilions on the left and right are no longer in shape, the main hall has doors and no windows, and the black window holes are covered with a few rags to block the wind. The thatched floor in the hall, although a statue of King Guan is old and faded, it has been wiped clean, and the silkworm eyebrows of Danfeng are majestic!

Since the Qianlong period, the imperial court depreciated Taoism, and this Guanwang Temple has become an ownerless dojo. For more than 100 years, there has been almost no incense except for the occasional frolic and play of children in nearby villages. Until three years ago, a sloppy Taoist came out of nowhere, brushed the dust alone, asked for some thatch from the villagers, and stayed.

The Taoist's legal name is Wu Laiyun, and he calls himself Yuanzhen. He looks thin and small, with sharp-beaked monkey gills, and his wrinkled robe seems to have not been washed for half a year, only the three locks of beard on his chin and an ebony hairpin on his head still look like they are still immortal. Yuan Zhen came here, but also for the nearby people to solve some difficult problems, such as someone lost the ploughing cattle, Yuan Zhen pinched his fingers to give the ploughing cattle to go; for example, who ate fish stuck in the throat, Yuan Zhen left hand pinched the three mountains to fight a bowl of water, right hand in the bowl with the sword finger volley to draw a talisman, the mouth of the words, less leaning, the bowl of water for people to drink, to ensure that the water to ossification, tried and tried; Stick it behind the door, recite a few more incantations, and incinerate the charm at noon the next day, and stop crying immediately.

The villagers were grateful to Yuan Zhen, so they often sent rice, noodles, vegetables and scattered silver coins to the temple, and proposed to rebuild the Guanwang Temple. Yuan Zhen never shirked the silver money and rice noodles, but he did not think so. He often pointed to the main hall and the statue of Guan Gong and laughed at the villagers: "A few piles of bricks and tiles, a piece of rotten wood, you want to repair it?" Every time the villagers saw this scene, although they smiled on their faces, they secretly thought in their hearts: "Alas, although there are some small means, after all, he is still a man!"

In the early morning of this day, it was sunny after the rain. Yuan Zhen suddenly moved his mind in the Guanwang Temple, stepped out of the door, and saw an unkempt strong man coming with an injury, who else could it be if it wasn't Mu Rentian!

Yuan Zhen said in a loud voice: "Mercy! Mercy!"

Mu people walked in pain in the rain all night, although the body is strong, but after all, the age is not small, and the injury is also serious, all relying on the desire to avenge the family until now, follow the prestige, and sure enough, I saw Yuan Zhen standing in front of the door with a smile. Mu Rentian couldn't help but burst into the crown, and shouted violently: "Ge Laozi Demon Dao! I'll take your life!" and rushed towards Yuan Zhen.

Seeing this, Yuan Zhen laughed and said, "Poor and pitiful, stupid and stupid!" While gently waving the dust, he wrapped Mu Rentian's arms and walked forward.

Mu Rentian only felt that the sky was spinning, and then his eyes were dark, and he fainted.

Jin Se gratuitously fifty strings, one string and one pillar Si Hua Nian.

Zhuang Shengxiao dreams of butterflies, and hopes that the emperor will trust the cuckoo in spring.

There are tears in the pearl of the sea and the moon, and the blue field is warm and the jade is smoking.

This situation can be recalled, but it was already clear at the time.

β€”β€”Li Shangyin, "Jin Se"

Dreams carry all the good hopes and memories in the world.

Mu Rentian saw that the water and the sky were the same color, and there were colorful bubbles filling the upper and lower directions. It's so comfortable, it's so warm. Mu Rentian also floated like bubbles in the flowers.

Who is coming from afar? Clever smile, clever eyes. "Madam, you're here......" Mu Rentian muttered as he stretched out his hand. This grip is like holding it in the air, grabbing an empty one.

Madame pursed her lips and smiled, stretched out her index finger and pointed at Mu Rentian's forehead, and helped him gently arrange his collar and cuffs like every morning.

"Madam, why don't you speak......" Mu Rentian opened his arms and wanted to hug this familiar woman, but he threw himself into the air.

"Daddy......" How familiar the voice is, Mu Rentian turned around, and sure enough, it was Mu Zuo, his tall, handsome, and heroic son. "Dad, what are you doing here?" Mu Zuo smiled and smiled in the colorful bubbles.

"I ...... What am I doing here......? What are you doing here?" Mu Rentian suddenly felt a splitting headache, and there seemed to be tens of millions of people banging gongs and drums in his mind, "What am I doing here, what are you doing here, what are you doing here, what are you doing, what are you doing, what are you doing......

There was a loud noise in the void, deafening. This is the sound of dreams collapsing, and it is also the sound of people's hearts falling apart in despair.

Mu Rentian shouted and woke up sweating profusely from his dream. As I struggled to open my eyes and look around, the tiled roof, the mottled walls, the dilapidated offering table, and the majestic statue of Emperor Guan were like a huge collapsing city, smashing towards Mu Rentian in my mind. Mu Rentian got up from the straw mat in horror, his hair was scattered and he rushed out of the door, and kept shouting: "What to do, what to do, what to do......

Mu Rentian is crazy.

This Shuzhong man, who has been fighting in the south and north for decades and crawling out of the pile of dead countless times, is crazy. What broke him was not the bloody rain like the Shura field, but the goodbye to his loved ones waving and smiling, and goodbye to yin and yang......

When Mu Rentian roared and rushed out of the temple gate, Yuan Zhen was cooking medicine for him on the small stove at the door. Seeing this situation, he was also shocked, and his figure turned in front of him, stretched out his hand and patted it lightly in the Mu Ren Tianni Pill Palace, and said in his mouth: "Clean!"

Mu Rentian really stopped roaring wildly, turned his body weak, sat on the ground, grabbed the mud and pointed at Yuan Zhen and laughed: "What are you doing, what are you doing here......

Yuan Zhen sighed: "Alas, it's better than you suffering in that hatred." Fate is here, just stay here. As he spoke, he put the dust in his hand on the crook of his left arm, and helped Mu Rentian with his right hand.

Mu Rentian smirked: "What to do, what to do, just stay here, just stay here......"

The stars are moving, and the summer is coming and the cold is coming.

Winter in the Yanshan Mountains is always colder than in the inner city.

The stupid and stupid Mu Rentian has been living in Guanwang Temple for more than three months. Because of his burly figure, the children in the mountain village called him a martial madman, although Mu Rentian, who had a tiger's back and a bear's waist, never went crazy and hurt people, but just saw people smirking: "What are you doing, what are you doing...... naughty boy made up a nursery rhyme and scolded him: "Martial madness and martial madness, stupid and stupid." When people beat you, they don't hum. Stunned like a bear, moving like an old man. Barefoot in winter, not afraid of the cold......"

Mu Rentian listened, grinned and waved his arms at the children: "What are you doing, what are you doing here...... Every time at this time, the children scattered in a hurry, scattering their legs and running towards home.

The winter cotton clothes and cotton shoes prepared by Yuan Zhen for Mu Rentian, Mu Rentian didn't look at it, just wrapped in a dirty quilt, wandering around barefoot within a radius of ten miles, and only went back to the temple at night to eat porridge and sleep.
