Chapter 18 God in the Mountain

When Xie Xuan left, he only greeted the bearded man. The bearded man was still angry and doubted the others. He sat on the stone and chewed the roasted rabbit meat given by Xie Xuan.

Zhu Changwen, who had a long face, explained a few words: "It is best to be careful when you go out. The brother and sister were indeed strange yesterday, so you have to be careful."

Who knew that the young man was so smart that he could hear the implication of his words in one sentence. His mind was so fast that he could not stay with the young master.

The remaining three naturally agreed with Zhu Changwen. They had a heavy responsibility for coming out, but they had two furry children. If they had any offense, they would not be taken seriously.

Young Master Jinyi frowned: "It's okay to be careful when you're away, but the brother and sister really don't look like bad guys."

Zhu Changwen shook his head: "Young Master, be careful of sailing for a thousand years. If you are in the capital, how can you know the dangers of the world? Beware of women, elderly people, and children."

Another Changsui said: "What Brother Zhu said is that the two brothers and sisters are fifteen or sixteen years old and the younger ones are only thirteen or fourteen years old. They dare to go to Qingzhou Prefecture together. If they don't have some skills, how can they be?"

Mr. Jinyi thought it was true: "What you said is the etiquette is because I think it is simple. Let's hurry up and see if what the little brother said is true."

Several people were in a hurry to travel, and they had already missed a Dharma Assembly for a day, so they had to rush to Chizhou today.

When the Zhenwu Dharma Assembly encounters such a thing, no matter what the reason is, Xiao Zhiguan from Yiyang Temple must be brought back to the capital and apologized to Ziwei Palace.

Zhu Changwen said: "That Senior Brother Xiao is a disciple of Yiyang, so we must act carefully."

Several packed up their luggage, took their horses, and walked up the mountain road.

The sky is already bright, the whole mountain is quiet and bright, with birds standing among the thick branches and thin leaves. The sun shines through the cracks of the leaves, chirping and chirping, making it extremely joyful.

Although they had been making a fuss last night, several people practiced Qi and martial arts for many years, and their pace was very fast.

There was a small flying rainbow in the mountains, and the water was very clear. Everyone was a little thirsty. They relieved their skin and took water to drink it.

The bearded man was not as gentle as them. He plunged into the small pool and drank it hard. Zhu Changwen put a bag on his side and sent it to the young master: "Young master, you will arrive in Chizhou in another hour."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sky suddenly darkened, and the wind blew. After a burst of branches and leaves, he could not see his five fingers.

Several people took out the flint, but the wind was blown so hard that they could not get hit: "What's going on? Why did it suddenly get windy?"

After a while, I felt a sudden chill between my forehead and neck. Just as I was about to look up, I was beaten by the rain that was scattering my face. In a short while, I poured several people thoroughly.

It was not lit up, and it was not possible to go down the mountain in the dark, so it trapped the group by the spring, but there was not even a place to hide from the rain. It was better to pick a few big leaves from the bearded man, put them on his head, and use them as an umbrella.

It was light, but the sound of rain continued, and several people had already poured it through. The bearded man said, "Young master, such heavy rain will not stop for a while. Even if it stops, it is not easy to walk on the mountain road. Why not see if there is a place in the mountain to hide?"

"That's good." Neither the man nor the horse could withstand the rain. He missed a rain-removing talisman, but as soon as the talisman was taken out, it was wet by the rain and it didn't work at all.

The bearded man wiped away the rain on his face and walked forward. He saw a small hut among the green mountains. He hurried back and reported that several people were pulling horses and carrying luggage, trekking in the heavy rain, and rushed to the small hut.

When I got closer, I found it was a mountain temple.

Before I entered the house, there was a faint light of fire. When I got closer, I could smell the fragrance. It seemed that someone was stewing soup inside, and I thought I was hiding from the rain inside.

Several people entered the room in a panic, lifted up their long gowns and squeezed clean water, and were about to say hello to the person who came, but they saw that they were an acquaintance who had just split up in the morning.

Seeing the embarrassing appearance of the few people, Xie Xuan held back his smile and greeted the bearded man: "Brother Hu, you are here too."

As soon as they left the camp, Xiaoxiao asked Xie Xuan: "Do you want to listen to what they said?"

She was holding a small paper crane in her hand, and the tip of the small paper crane wings moved, eager to try.

Xie Xuan shook his head: "They are not the two laymen of the Jiang family. I see that boy has some tricks and uses this thing to test them, but I'm afraid we will reveal our own signs."

"I heard from the bearded man that they came to Chizhou to do business, and I don't know if they were Xiao Baifang's helpers." Xie Xuan couldn't find out much.

Xie Xuan understood yesterday that the bearded man and those people were not on the same path. He didn't know much, and he didn't even reveal a word about the origin of Mr. Wen. Asking too much will make people suspicious.

"No matter what connection this person has with his master, we have no time to get along with them, so we should hurry to the capital."

The two of them didn't walk for long, and raised their heads, moved their noses and told Xie Xuan: "It's going to rain."

The weather is light and the wind is light, and there is no sign of rain. But when it is raining, it means it is raining.

Xie Xuan held a rope and released a small paper crane to find a place to hide from the rain. The paper crane quickly took them to the mountain temple. As soon as the two of them lit the fire, the sky was like ink, and heavy rain poured on.

The bearded man laughed: "Little brother, I didn't expect that we are quite destined to be."

Xie Xuan still remembered the benefits of moving the fire last night and asked him to bake it by the fire: "My sister just made the soup, Brother Hu drinks a bowl to warm up."

Xie Xuan, if others respect him, he would respect him one foot. Last night, the bearded man was enthusiastic, so he would double his reward: "Wait a little longer and the rabbit is baked."

When a few Changsui saw Xiaoxiao and Xie Xuan, they frowned. Their bodies were dry, not like they had been wet with rain. They even cooked soup and roasted meat. The brother and sister were indeed strange.

Xiaoxiao cooked a pot of wild vegetable soup, Xie Xuan first served a bowl to worship the mountain god, placed it on the sacred platform in a regular manner, and then pulled out three fragrant pieces to ignite it.

"Little brother is out there, and he still has incense?" one of the elders asked.

"Walking into the mountain gods and worshiping the river gods across the rivers and worshiping the river gods, why do you practitioners who practice Taoism cannot even understand this?" Xie Xuan asked back, but stopped the man.

Several people went outside to cut down trees, wet fire, and ignited a burst of smoke. They had a small nose and coughed as soon as the smoke was rushed.

Xie Xuan was annoyed: "What's wrong with you? If you want to use wet firewood to make fire, run farther."

Zhu Changwen was angry when he met, but was stopped by Master Wen: "Everyone hides from the rain together to give convenience to others and to your own convenience."

After saying that, he took out a bunch of incense from his luggage, walked to the gods' table, lit the incense and worshipped the mountain gods. Seeing that the temple was built quite exquisitely and had all its couplets, how could it be so devastated?

"This is the realm of Yiyang Temple, why can't the mountain god get worship?"

Xie Xuan burst out laughing: "Even the land in Chizhou is not worshipped. The mountain temple is so high and so far, who else can come?"

Mr. Wen frowned and told his master that he would have to tell his master about these things when he returned to the capital. After 20 years of Jianguan, Yiyangguan was founded here, and he turned down the honorary gods of this sect. I think the original praises were all fake, so we should investigate them thoroughly.

Zhu Changwen went to the backyard and came out and said, "Young Master, this temple looks small, there are other worlds inside, there are several rooms, and a stove. The rain cannot stop for a while, so we just take a break."

I slept in the open last night, and no one was sleeping well. Although the house inside was dirty, I could live there after cleaning, and boiling hot water to flush my body. There was no need to squeeze in front of two ignorant little kids.

The temple is surrounded by hand corridors, and there is a big tree in the middle of the courtyard, and there are three rooms with light and darkness. They can fall asleep even if they squeeze.

They were determined to take away several rooms, and not leave any of them for Xie Xuan and Xiaoxiao. But after hearing this, the young master said, "It's them who come first, let them choose first."

Xie Xuan opened his mouth and refused: "No need, we are here. You will be at the back and both sides will be clean."

The bearded man followed him around and then came to the front: "Little brother, I'm here to squeeze in, it doesn't matter." Those people always had to carry him on their backs, and he was not annoying and was more comfortable.

Xie Xuan smiled: "I see that my elder brother is much more refreshing than them. We will eat meat together, so it would be great if there is wine."

When the bearded man heard the word "wine", he was so greedy that he drooled. He quickly waved his hand: "Stop talking, stop talking, I haven't drunk it all the way."

Xie Xuan said again: "Then let's have a good meal next time we see you."

The two of them talked lively, but the rain kept going until the evening. It was dark and people settled down. No one wanted to go down the mountain, and they were here for a night.

Xiaoxiao and Xie Xuan slept in the south corner, and the bearded man slept in the north corner. He lay down and fell asleep. Suddenly, he smelled the aroma of wine in his dream, which hooked up the wineworms in his stomach.

Yumide Dunden opened his eyes and the smell of wine came from the backyard. He followed the smell to the backyard, pushed open the kitchen, and saw seventeen or eighteen wine jars, arranged in a row, leaning against the wall.

A jar has been slapped in the open mouth, and a strong aroma of wine is emitted from it.

The bearded man spat: "I know there is wine here, so I won't tell me!" The followers who cooked the fire and cooked the rice must have seen it, but they did not tell him.
