When Luo Yin was shopping for clothes in Lingshan County, he asked the shopkeeper about the location of Qingyang Mountain, and he asked the shopkeeper if he knew the location of Qingyang Mountain.

The shopkeeper pondered for a long time, shook his head and said, "Qingyang Guan, I have never heard of this, and I have never been there. What's the matter with this Taoist temple?"

"Don't hide it from the shopkeeper, Xiaosheng once heard someone say that there is a Taoist in this Qingyang Temple, and fortune-telling is extremely accurate. Therefore, I came to this Lingshan County thousands of miles away, and I want to ask this Taoist chief to calculate the future for me, and see if I have the life of a Zhongjin Shi in my life. ”

When Luo Yin heard him ask why he wanted to go to Qingyang Temple, he naturally didn't want to tell a stranger about his true purpose, so he casually made up a piece of nonsense to prevaricate him.

The shopkeeper listened and smiled: "Oh, I see. It's just that I really don't know, and I'm ashamed. Little brother might as well go to the city and ask other people, maybe someone will know. ”

Hearing this, Luo Yin nodded, thanked the shopkeeper for his guidance, and then left the clothing shop with the newly bought clothes. He planned to take a look around the city, and maybe he could find someone who knew about Qingyang Guan.

It's just that after going around the city for nearly an hour, I asked no less than a dozen people, but no one knew where Qingyangguan was.

He was a little disappointed in his heart, and when he saw that it was getting late, he went home, and prepared to go back to the inn to rest for the night.

When he returned to the inn, he found the little guy and said to him, "Little brother, please help me boil a basin of hot water, I plan to take a bath before going to sleep." Then he turned around and went back to his backyard room to wait.

About half an hour later, the little guy moved in a big wooden bucket, brought hot water and poured it into it, tested the water temperature, and said to Luo Yin: "Guest officer, the bath water is ready, the little one will go down first." ”

Seeing that the water had been prepared, Luo Yin agreed, and was about to close the door and bathe, but saw that the little guy was still standing by the barrel and did not leave. I was just about to ask him what was going on, but I suddenly thought of something in my heart, so I took out a few copper coins from my arms, handed them to the little guy and said, "I've worked hard for my little brother, you can keep this money." ”

The little guy saw that the beggar-looking guest also came to the road, and he didn't shirk, stretched out his hand to take the reward, and then said with a smile: "The little one left first, and if the guest officer has any other needs, just give orders." With that, he exited the room and closed the door with his hand.

Luo Yin shook his head and chuckled, his heart was really rich enough to make ghosts grind. When he first entered the door of the inn, the little guy saw that he was in tatters like a beggar, and his eyes were not eyes, and his nose was not a nose, but as soon as he saw the money, he instantly changed his face faster than turning a book.

He silently thanked the cavalry leader who left him an inheritance, if he hadn't left him the silver after his death, even if he went to this county town, I am afraid that he would only be able to sleep on the street and starve.

Thinking of this, he plugged in the deadbolt, took off his clothes, and stepped into the barrel. The warm hot water instantly refreshed his whole body. He hummed twice and closed his eyes, enjoying the rare comfort.

Since embarking on this road to find immortals, most of the time I have been sleeping in the wilderness, accompanied by mountain peaks and forests, and there are only a handful of opportunities to take a hot bath.

He washed himself away, cleaning off the dirt that had accumulated on his body before leaving the barrel, which had been completely blackened. I took a towel and wiped it clean before I changed into the newly bought clothes.

When he had done all this, he lay back on his bed, enjoying himself comfortably, and soon fell asleep.

On the second day, when the sun was three poles, Luo Yin opened his eyes and woke up. After washing up, he carried his backpack and his bags to the lobby, found the little guy and said, "Little brother, please help me prepare a few more side dishes, and then prepare some dry food for me to eat on the road." ”

"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute, the wine and food will be served immediately, and the small ones will also order the kitchen to prepare. ”

Half an hour later, Luo Yin was full of food and drink, took the dry food prepared by the little servant and left the inn.

He planned to go out of the city from the north gate and walk along the road to Qingyang Mountain first. Yesterday, I asked many people, but none of them knew about Qingyang Temple, so I had to go to the mountains first, and then slowly search.

Fortunately, there are still ten days before the agreed period, and it takes me a day or two to walk, and the remaining time is enough for me to walk through the entire Qingyang Mountain, so as to find the Qingyang Temple.

Leaving the north gate of Lingshan County, I walked slowly to the northeast along the road, and it took less than two days to reach the foot of Qingyang Mountain.

Although the name of this Qingyang Mountain is a mountain, it is actually a collective name for a group of mountains.

He looked at the majestic mountains in front of him, which were extremely incommensurate with the terrain in the eastern part of the Chu State, and had some expectations and excitement in his heart. It is only in such majestic mountains that there will be immortals who stop and stay.

It's just that finding a Taoist temple in these mountains is indeed not a simple matter. But fortunately, I still have time, so I can take my time.

With some excitement, he walked up and began the final journey to find immortals.

Overcoming thorns and thorns all the way, he walked through the mountain peaks, and he searched carefully in each peak.

Before he knew it, several days had passed, and by this time he had already gone deep into the mountains. At this time, it is July 27th, and there are only a few days left before the agreed period!

Seeing that time was getting less and less, and he hadn't been able to find the hidden Taoist temple, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart.

He searched the southern foot of the mountain at his feet, but still found no trace of the Taoist temple. Somewhat disappointed, he had to climb over the top of the mountain and began to continue his search to the north.

When he climbed over the top of the mountain, he instantly stayed there motionless, as if someone had fixed him.

At the foot of the mountain is an open river valley with clear springs, green trees, and the singing of birds. On top of that, on the banks of the stream, in the midst of greenery, a building is hidden in the middle, revealing only a wall and eaves.

"This should be the place, I've finally found it!" He stayed for a moment, and then there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and he began to run towards the bottom of the mountain.

Stepping through the meadows and flowers where butterflies and bees were flying, crossing the clear stream, smelling the fragrance of the mountains, and blowing the cool breeze, he came to this building with cheerful steps. Looking up, a plaque with several vigorous and powerful characters came into view.

"Qingyang view, Qingyang view ......" He slowly read out the words on the plaque with a little trembling, and those big words that appeared countless times in his dreams.

Chu State, Wuzhou, Lingshan County, Qingyang Mountain.

Luo Yin looked at the small Taoist temple with the Qingyang Temple plaque in front of him, and his heart was full of emotion.

It's been three years, and I've finally come here alive before the agreed time limit. In this long journey of more than 50,000 miles, he has experienced countless hardships, experienced countless dangers, and survived several near-deaths, and finally came to this place.

Looking back on the past, in the past three years, he has climbed over snow-capped mountains, stepped on grasslands, climbed countless lofty mountains, and crossed thousands of valleys and rivers; encountered attacks by poisonous snakes and beasts, and also encountered natural and man-made disasters; encountered demons and monsters, and escaped from the knives of robbers, bandits, and rebels; endured hunger, hunger, wounded and bloodshed, and stepped into the ghost gate with one foot countless times.

In the end, he came to this place alive and found this humble little Taoist temple.

He collected his excitement, and when his mood calmed down a little, he was about to go up and knock on the door, when he suddenly smelled a foul smell. He sniffed around with his nose out, and finally noticed that the stench was coming from him.

"No, this stinky body, how can I go to apprenticeship? I have to wash it well!" he smiled bitterly, turned around and left the gate of the Taoist temple, and walked towards the stream next to him.

Since leaving Lingshan County, it has been a few days now, and these days I only care about hurrying and looking for the whereabouts of the Taoist temple in the mountains, and I don't have the time to clean myself at all, so that the whole person stinks unbearably.

In my previous life, I heard people say in a story that in ancient times, if people wanted to worship a master or sage as a teacher, they had to bathe and change their clothes three days in advance, and burn incense to meditate. It's a pity that in this big mountain, it is impossible for me to bathe and change clothes three days in advance, and I don't have the conditions to burn incense and meditate.

It's just that although you don't have that condition, you must not go with a stinky body, which is disrespectful to the immortals. So he thought of the stream he had just waded into, where he could wash his dirty body, and then wash his clothes, which were also smelling of sweat.

It's summer, it's hot, and your clothes are washed and hung in the sun, and it won't be long before they're dry.

It is not a trivial matter to worship immortals as teachers, it is related to the fate of one's life, so it is not too pious to be pious. And at this time, there are still a few days before the three-year period, and I have already walked to the Qingyang Temple, there is plenty of time, and it can't be delayed for long to take a shower and wash off my clothes, and I can also show that I am indeed sincere to apprentice.

It's noon, and it's the hottest time of the day.

He came to the brook, took off his clothes, jumped into the stream, and washed the dirt off his body with the cool water, and washed away the heat of his body.

After taking a bath, I washed all the green clothes and underwear on my body by the clear spring in the stream, wrung them out and hung them under the tree next to them. And himself, while drying his clothes, found a shade of a tree, leaned against the trunk of the tree, and took advantage of the shade to imagine the future.

Two hours later, the sun was already in the west. Luo Yin touched the clothes that were drying, and sure enough, they were completely dry. He put on his clothes and walked towards the Qingyang Temple.

Walking to the gate of the Taoist temple, he lowered his head and carefully sorted out his clothes, then raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Knock knock knock......

A heavy knock echoed through the silent mountains, like his pounding heart at the moment.

With a creak, the door opened on its own, and there was no one behind it.

"Come in, I'll be waiting for you in the main hall. A deep voice came from inside the Taoist temple......
