The torches are lit, the shadows of a group of people are revealed in the depths of the woods, the three carts are the most eye-catching, as the team marches, the feet on the snow make a creaking sound, the trees are hung with white snowflakes, inadvertently touching and falling down is good-looking, a person reaches out to pick it up, with a coolness, the white petals slowly disappear into crystal droplets, white snowflakes, that is the most holy gift given by God to the world, covering the desolation of autumn, until the spring will slowly melt it.

"Childe, you can only sleep here tonight!" Mu Chen stepped over, leaving a deep mark with each step, his sturdy figure and powerful shoulders were completely unable to play a role in the wind and snow.

Zhao Kuo looked around, the trees are sparse, the mountains are gentle and there is no edge to be seen, this kind of terrain can not find a place to hide from the wind and snow, can not hide from the wind and snow, the bonfire also does not play too much role, in the ice and snow, the consumption of the body must be great for freezing overnight, as a doctor, he is most aware of the harm of this severe cold to the body, once the wind evil enters the body, can not get timely treatment and even threatens his life, plus the dry food brought by the body is not much, the weather is cold, and most of the water in the water bag is frozen, You can only rely on snow to sustain yourself, and this is not always the way to go.

"Bai Ying, look around to see if there is a place where you can take shelter from the wind, and pay attention to safety along the way! Return as soon as you have something"

Bai Ying agreed, "Don't worry, Childe, Bai Ying is very familiar with this kind of terrain!" ”

After Bai Ying finished speaking, he lifted the long sword in his hand and jumped ten meters away, and disappeared into the vast night in a blink of an eye, Mu Chen's eyes showed a look of envy, every step took a great deal of physical effort, and the thick snow walked on it, like a drunk, if he didn't get it, he had to fall a few heels, and the cart was even more laborious to walk on it, so he had to take turns to carry it forward.

Bai Ying's figure disappeared, and Mu Chen praised again and again, "Brother Bai is really a good skill!" If you change Mu Chen, I'm afraid you will have to suffer a lot. ”

Zhao Kuo nodded, "Everyone has their own strengths, and they will also have shortcomings, so they will unite together and make up for their weaknesses with their own strengths. ”

Mu Chen patted his chest, "Where is Childe, Mu Chen followed Childe willingly, Mu Chen has traveled around in this life, and has suffered all kinds of hardships, I originally thought that life would be wasted, until I met Childe, Mu Chen has never served a few people in his life, and Childe is one." ”

Zhao Kuo smiled: "In other words, there are others!" To be able to make Brother Mu admire must be extraordinary. ”

Mu Chen nodded, "When I traveled in Yan Kingdom, I once met a strong man, who was bold, outstanding in swordsmanship, and was not afraid of being strong and willing to stick a knife in his ribs for his brother, Mu Chen also received the kindness of this person." ”

"Yan Guoren, why haven't you heard Brother Mu mention it?"

Mu Chen said with a smile: "That strong man's whereabouts are uncertain, and it is difficult to see him again!" ”

Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "Such a strong man is regarded as a confidant even if Zhao Kuo meets him, does Brother Mu know this person's name and surname?" ”

"Jing Ke!"

"Warrior Jing Ke!" Zhao Kuo was surprised to hear Mu Chen say the name of Jing Ke, and in later generations, he knew very little about Bai Qi, Lian Po and other famous generals, even if it was King Qin and King Zhao, and that was Jing Ke, the story of Jing Ke's assassination of King Qin was talked about, although it did not succeed, the spirit of sacrificing oneself for the country and the people will always be remembered.

"Childe recognizes this person?"

Zhao Kuo shook his head, "It's just that I've heard people mention it, but now I'm excited when I hear Brother Mu mention it." ”

A gust of wind blew, the guards guarding the cart stood motionless in the snow, after the strict training of the disciples of the Mo family, the spirit of the Mo family was also deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts, Zhao Kuo's eyes fell in the distance, the dark shadows of the trees were mixed with messy branches and leaves, this time it was indeed a wise move to bring Bai Ying out, Bai Ying was flexible, experienced in wild survival, originally just a hunter in the mountains, and accidentally met a person from the rivers and lakes to teach martial arts, the most important thing is to be trustworthy.

"Brother Mu, where is the closest market to here?"

"Gao Tang!"

"It's a good name, high, big, Tang, defensive, this must be a strategic place!"

Mu Chen nodded, "Childe is knowledgeable and Mu Chen admires, Gaotang is surrounded by mountains on three sides, close to water on one side, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is a strategic place!" ”

Zhao Kuo nodded, this time to Qi can be regarded as a lot of effort, check the classics, which record the explanation of Gao Tang, heard Mu Chen mention it and said it casually, without the slightest intention of showing off, and then looked at Qin Wan, collected the white snow on the ground and grabbed it hard, pinched it into a small ball and threw it hard, with childlike joy in his expression, after all, it is his homeland, it is inevitable to recall childhood memories, and he can't bear to bother.

After a short time, a vague shadow appeared, and Mu Chen pointed with his hand, "It must be Brother Bai Ying who is back!" ”

The few guards standing in front raised the torches in their hands high, and the shadows were getting closer and closer, it was Bai Ying, even if his body was light and running in the snow, it was also difficult, and bursts of white gas came out of his mouth, "Big brother, I found it!" ”

"Great."

Bai Ying had an excited look on her face, "If you can't get it, you can still eat hot porridge and rice!" ”

Mu Chen shook his shoulders, "And such a good thing!" ”

"There's a Taoist temple in front of you! When you hear the bell from afar, there must be a Taoist priest inside. ”

Mu Chen patted his head, "Look at my memory!" This place is called Xianyun Temple, and the master inside is called Xianyun Jushi, who is an old Taoist priest with kind eyebrows, Mu Chen once came when he traveled all over the world, but secretly ate a lot of things in the view. ”

"Then you're not afraid that people will ask you for it now?" Qin Wan heard a few people talking and came closer, Bai Ying found the hidden Taoist temple in the woods, Mu Chen also remembered the past when he traveled to the Qi Kingdom, and several people also interjected when they talked lively.

"The past is unbearable, unbearable, and now Mu Chen doesn't dare to do that kind of thing again!" After saying that, he laughed, and the heroic voice echoed in the valley.

In the Taoist temple, a person suddenly raised his head, a scimitar flashed a cold light in the night, there were still blood stains on it, several large cars were parked in the courtyard, the ground was full of bloodstains, and one person urged: "Someone is coming, clean up!" ”

In the dead of night, the sound spread far away, Mu Chen was born with a loud voice, laughter echoed in the valley, Zhao Kuo waved his arm, "Stay at the Taoist Temple tonight!" ”

The vast starry sky, under the faint light of the torch, the black figure is so small, along the mountain road all the way up, there are many ways to cultivate, such as praying, contemplation, nourishment, inner Dan, outer Dan, etc., no matter which method is used to cultivate the Tao, it is nothing more than to seek "quiet and inaction", "leave the country to sit and forget", not disturbed by the outside world, so most of the Taoist temples are built in the deep mountains and old forests, Bai Ying walks in the front, the time is not long, only to see a Taoist temple standing in the middle of the mountain, the tall mountain gate is suddenly awe-inspiring.

On the mountain gate, there are three big characters engraved "Xianyunguan", the pen is elegant, the cultivators are separated from the world, the pursuit of nature, like the idle clouds and wild cranes are indisputable with the world, Zhao Kuo stood in front of the door and nodded again and again, "Xianyunguan!" The walls on both sides are engraved with couplets, which read: "Cultivate morality to settle down, follow the example of Confucius and Mencius, establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations." Looking at the lower couplet, I couldn't help but praise in my heart, and the lower couplet wrote: "Learn skills and set up a life, imitate Banlun Miao Dao, rely on Qiankun to settle down, rely on fine arts, rely on the heroes to study the cutting-edge, and rely on Daqian to seek Cathay." "It is worthy of the land of Taoist immortals, tidy up your sleeves and come to the door and gently knock on the copper ring above, the action is very light, most of them are Taoist priests who don't want to disturb the cultivation inside.

With a creak, the mountain gate was pushed open, Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, and an indescribable feeling instantly rose from the bottom of his heart, a little Taoist priest pushed the door out, bowed down and saluted, "I don't know what to do when a few donors visit late at night?" ”

Zhao Kuo returned the salute, "I happened to be passing by, and I want to spend a night in the temple!" ”

The little Taoist priest looked Zhao Kuo and the others up and down, with a hesitant look on his face, Mu Chen stepped forward, "Xianyun Jushi can be in the view, just say that the old man is visiting, and he wants to stay here for one night and leave at dawn tomorrow." ”

"This, the Taoist priest can't be the master, he has to ask."

"What's the matter?" A man's voice came from inside the Taoist temple, and the little Taoist priest turned around, "Second brother, someone wants to spend the night." ”

The man coughed and came to the door of the Taoist temple, and it was indeed a fat Taoist priest, with a sideways face, carrying a whisk in his hand, and the clothes on his body were almost about to be propped open, looking out of place.

The man also looked up and down, his eyes fell on the three carts, "Being away from the mortal world is also a convenient door, if you lose your good thoughts, what does it mean!" ”

The little Taoist priest hurriedly said: "The second senior brother taught a lesson. ”

"Please don't be surprised by the simplicity of your view."

"When you go out, it's enough to be able to hide from the wind and snow, but how dare you ask for too much."

"Childe doesn't look like a Qi person!"

Zhao Kuo stepped in, with a smile on his face, "Businessmen are all over the world. ”

Everyone enters the Taoist temple, the gate is closed, along the bluestone paved stone road forward, the first thing that catches your eye is a stone tablet, sneaking into the mountain stone, the torch is close, the same is engraved with handwriting, only to see the writing: "The way of heaven is lucky and there is no accumulation, so all things come into being; The emperor has nothing to accumulate, so the world returns; The holy way is lucky and there is nothing to accumulate, so the sea is served. Those who are clear in the sky, through the sacred, and who are in the virtue of the emperor are self-sufficient, and there are no quiet people. The silence of the saint is also good, so it is quiet; There is no one who is enough to make a heart, so it is quiet. The water is quiet, the candle is bright, the eyebrows are clear, the level is accurate, and the master craftsman takes the law. The water is still quiet, and the spirit is still in the situation! The heart of a saint is still! Heaven and earth are also instructive; The mirror of all things also. The husband is quiet and quiet, and the indifferent person is peaceful, and the morality is the same, so the emperor and the saint rest. Rest is false, virtual is real, and reality is good. Void is quiet, static is moving, moving is successful. If you are quiet, you will do nothing, and if you do nothing, you will be responsible. If you don't do anything, Yu Yu will not be able to deal with the troubles and live a long life. Those who are quiet and indifferent are the foundation of all things. Ming is in the south of the township, Yao Zhi is also the king; Ming is to the north, and Shun is also a minister. Here, the virtue of the emperor and the son of heaven is also; Here, the way of the Xuan Shengsu King is also. In this way, he retreated and traveled the rivers and seas, and the people of the mountains and forests were served; If you use this as an advance to help the world, you will be famous and famous in the world. Quiet and holy, moving and king, inaction and respect, simple and the world can not compete with beauty. Those who understand the virtue of heaven and earth are called great sects, and those who are in harmony with heaven are also; Therefore, the world is evenly adjusted, and the people are also. Those who are with people are said to be happy; Those who are in harmony with heaven are called heavenly happiness. ”

Zhao Kuo's solemn expression followed the torch all the way down with his body, although he didn't know who it came from, halfway through the reading, the whole person was like being in an empty silence, all the noise dissipated, and his heart was never quiet.

"Childe, Childe!"

"I was shocked by the inscription on it for a while, please forgive me for the rudeness."

The fat Taoist said with a smile: "I don't want my son to have a relationship with the Taoist, it's really gratifying!" ”

"Don't dare, I'm grateful to have a place to keep out the cold!"

"Senior brother, take all the donors to the backyard meditation room to rest!"

The group followed the little Taoist priest to the backyard, the backyard was very spacious, the car was parked steadily, the little Taoist priest couldn't help but look back a few times, Mu Chen stepped forward, "Is there a hot meal?" ”

The little Taoist priest gave a salute, "It's already past the meal, so we can only wait until tomorrow." ”

"There should be hot water!"

"Donor, wait a minute, it will be delivered later!" After the little Taoist priest finished speaking, he walked away quickly.
