Ning Ruirui looked back at the old Taoist priest and couldn't help but stop.

"Ah, this old Taoist priest, do you know about the concept of peace of mind?" Shi Chun was very happy, and finally he didn't have to search for it aimlessly.

The old Taoist laughed, and said with a kind face: "Of course the old Tao knows that the old Taoist and the master of Anxin Temple, Taoist Master Qiu, have been close friends for many years, and this time he was also invited by him to come here as a guest."

"Dare to ask the old Taoist priest?" Ning Ruirui looked at the old Taoist priest and couldn't help asking his identity. The old Taoist Fuchen withdrew his wrist, smiled and shouted Wuliang Tianzun, and then said: "The old Taoist is Gu Qingyan, the master of the Qingniu Palace in Laoshan. You call me Gu Laodao. This is my youngest apprentice, Xiaochan . Come, come, see two women

Buddha. "

With a shy expression on his face, the little Taoist hid behind the old Taoist, only daring to sneak a glance at Ning Ruirui and Shi Chun from time to time.

"Hey, the little Taoist priest looks cute, how old is it?" Shi Chun took two steps forward, trying to tease the kid, but just as he approached the little Taoist priest, he suddenly bared his teeth and made a face at Shi Chun. "Hehe, girl, you may have scared him." Gu Laodao hugged the little Taoist priest in his arms, and explained with a smile: "He has been in the Taoist temple since he was born, and he has never gone out or seen him. I am a stranger, so I am very timid, please forgive me.

"

"It's okay, it's okay, I was a little abrupt." Shi Chun stuck out his tongue and said with some embarrassment.

Gu Laodao asked politely and politely: "I don't know what to call the two girls?"

"My name is Ning Ruirui, and this is my sister Shi Chun." Ning Ruirui immediately introduced herself and Shi Chun.

"It turned out to be Miss Ning and Miss Shi." Gu Laodao stepped forward slowly, and walked to a position half a step ahead of Ning Ruirui, "The two girls come with me, let's go to watch with peace of mind together."

Ning Ruirui said with a smile: "We have Mr. Lao Daoist leading the way."

"You're being polite." Gu Laodao nodded slightly, and asked casually, "I don't know why the two girls want to watch with peace of mind?"

"I was entrusted by someone to send something to watch with peace of mind." Ning Ruirui replied vaguely. Although Daoist Gu showed some doubts on his face, he didn't ask any more questions. After all, it was someone else's business. He just smiled and said, "Anxin Temple was still famous sixty or seventy years ago, but it declined after some accidents. only with us

Some cultivators still remember, ordinary people have long forgotten, so you may not get any results from asking the villagers. "

"This is a bit strange." Ning Ruirui couldn't figure it out, "It is said that if the Anxin Temple is nearby, the people in the temple also have to live on firewood, rice, oil and salt, so there is no reason not to deal with the nearby villagers?" "Because the nearby villagers In my eyes, it is not called Anxin Temple at all." Gu Laodao explained with a smile, "As early as 30 years ago, the local area wanted to integrate the development of tourism, so all the nearby temples and Taoist temples were planned in a unified way, for the convenience of management

They all belong to the banner of Chongyang Palace. Opening up such as the concept of peace of mind, it becomes the Hall of Yingxian among the eighteen halls at the south foot of Chongyang Palace. Thirty years have passed, and if you talk about Anxin Temple, no one knows about it, but if you talk about Yingxian Temple, someone who keeps it will know. "

"So there is such a story in it." Ning Ruirui nodded, and said casually: "Sure enough, the world has changed. I heard that Anxin Temple seemed to be very famous a hundred years ago." "It's not only famous, it's like thunder. " Gu Laodao raised his eyelids slightly, looked forward, and said with some emotion: "Anxin Temple was a holy place for my generation of cultivators.

They are all famous monks. what a pity. "

"Then there is a Daoist surnamed Ge in Anxin Temple?" Ning Ruirui couldn't help asking.

"Surnamed Ge?" Gu Laodao was stunned for a moment, with a hesitant look on his face, "I've never heard of it. When you arrive at the Anxin Temple, the girl can ask Guanzhu Qiu in person."

Ning Ruirui didn't think much about it. After all, Daoist Ge stayed in An Xin Guan more than a hundred years ago, and he entered the secret realm of the sea shortly afterwards, and Daoist Gu in front of him was only in his seventies. It's normal to have never heard of it.

After walking for a while and turning a few turns, Gu Laodao suddenly raised his hand and pointed: "It's just ahead."

"Is it that dilapidated little house?" Shi Chun raised his eyes and said with a little disappointment, "It doesn't look like a place where some tall people live."

"Hehe, Miss Shi, what you said is wrong." Gu Laodao smiled lightly and explained: "A master in cultivating Taoism doesn't care about living and drinking clothes. If he really lives in a high-rise building, then he will How to practice?"

Shi Chun didn't take Gu Laodao's point of view seriously: "It doesn't matter where a real expert lives."

"I didn't expect Miss Shi to have such a root of wisdom, she's so old-fashioned." Gu Laodao glanced at Shi Chun unexpectedly, and said with praise.

Turning around a small hill, the four of them saw a dilapidated courtyard gate.

The gate of the courtyard seemed to be only two meters high, and most of the wall had collapsed. The incomplete parts were barely repaired with tree stumps and bamboo branches. However, the plaque on the gate was new, with the words "Hall of Yingxian" written on it. large characters.

"Those people have replaced a new plaque, why don't they repair the courtyard walls of the house as well." Shi Chun asked a little puzzled. Gu Laodao is quite experienced in this kind of thing, and said with a smile: "Because it costs money to repair the courtyard walls and houses, and besides, except for places like Chongyang Palace, which are full of incense, they can be used as cards. The Taoist temple maintains this appearance

, On the contrary, it can make tourists believe that it is the residence of a hermit. "

"Okay." Shi Chun curled his lips, disapproving in his heart.

Ning Ruirui touched Shi Chun's head, said with a smile: "Let's go in, finish the matter, and I'll take you to a lively place to play, okay."

"I don't care." Shi Chun likes to be lively by nature, and she really has no interest in such deserted places, but she is also a considerate girl, and she will not lose her temper because of this.

"Brother Qiu Dao is here? Old Gu, I'm here to bother you again!" Gu Laodao laughed loudly while he was still outside the courtyard gate, his voice was full of arrogance. Can hear clearly.

"Sure enough, he is a cultivator." Ning Ruirui nodded secretly, but she also knew that Gu Laodao might not have a very high level of cultivation.

Not long after, there was a clear echo in the yard, and then a sixteen or seventeen-year-old Taoist nun hurried out from the courtyard: "It turns out that Grandpa Gu is here, and the master and ancestors have been waiting for you for a long time." Woolen cloth!"

"Yo, it's Nianxin." Gu Laodao looked at the little nun and couldn't help laughing, "I'm sorry to ask you to welcome us again, and I think I will have to trouble you to cook for us in the next few days." "Where is it, Grandpa Gu and I'm so happy that little brother Xiaochan can come." Nianxin Xiaodao held Gu Laodao's arm with one hand, and held the little Taoist's hand with the other, and she saw Ning Ruirui and Shi Chun when she turned her head, shocked Call out: "

Ah, there are two more distinguished guests. I'm sorry, I didn't look at it just now. I'm really rude. "

"It's okay, it's okay." Ning Ruirui waved her hands when she saw that the little Taoist nun was going to bow and apologize to them: "We are not very distinguished guests, but we just came to see your temple master for something." "The two sisters are here to see my master." Yes, okay, okay, please come inside first." The little Taoist nun Nianxin carefully led Gu Laodao and the little Taoist priest into the main hall, arranged a comfortable bamboo chair for him, and called Ning Ning quickly.

Rui Rui and Shi Chun.

"I'm sorry, Master just went out." The little Taoist nun Nianxin served hot tea for the three adults, and brought a bottle of drink for the little Taoist, and said apologetically, "Master is not in good health, just fell asleep. , I’ll wake him up.” “Hey, don’t wake him up yet, since the old man is asleep, we’ll just wait.” When Ning Ruirui was at home, she often took care of her grandfather, so she knew that the old man rarely fell asleep. I woke up, I guess I will have no energy for the next day

god.

The little nun Nianxin hesitated for a moment, and only looked at Gu Laodao, hoping that he would help him to come up with an idea.

"You just listen to what the two girls say." Gu Laodao sipped his tea with a smile, "Nian Xin, don't be too busy, just sit down and talk to Grandpa Gu and me for a while."

"Hey, good." The little nun Nianxin immediately moved a small bench and sat on the side.

Gu Laodao asked casually, "Where did your master go?"

"In the morning, Master was practicing in the backyard, but the Chongyang Palace called him and said he was looking for something important." The little Taoist nun Nianxin replied: "Master went out without eating, and he may be back soon. Alright."

"Over there at Chongyang Palace." Gu Laodao shook his head, "It's probably about..." At this point, Gu Laodao suddenly raised his eyes to glance at Ning Ruirui and Shi Chun, and then changed the subject, "It's okay, then We'll just have to wait."

Ning Ruirui obviously felt that Gu Laodao seemed to be somewhat wary of her and Shi Chun, but she didn't know where it came from.

"Haven't you asked the names of the two distinguished guests yet?" The little Taoist Nianxin said to Ning Ruirui and Shi Chun at this time.

Shi Chun hurriedly replied at this time: "My name is Shi Chun, and this is my sister Ning Ruirui. We have some things we want to talk to you, the temple masters."

"Ning Ruirui? Are you Ning Ruirui?" The little nun Nianxin looked at Ning Ruirui in surprise, her eyes widened.

"You know me?" Ning Ruirui was also a little surprised. "Ah, I don't know." The little Taoist nun Nianxin quickly shook her head, but she still explained: "Master told me that a lady named Ning Ruirui would come over in the next two days before he left. I will greet her well then.

I didn't expect that you are Miss Ning Ruirui, and you are so beautiful. "

Ning Ruirui automatically ignored those unnutritious words, grasped the key point directly, and asked suspiciously: "How did your master know that I was coming?" To know that Ning Ruirui went to the peace of mind, in theory, it should only be her and Xia Tian , and the few women around Xia Tian knew about it, and there was no possibility of leaking it in advance, so how did the master of the peace of mind know?
