My Taoist Temple is trending again

Lunar New Year's eve.

Lingyun Temple is only closed on New Year's Eve for a year. On this day, everyone gets up early, including Xu Qingmu.Throughout the year, he only worked so hard for one day, sweeping, writing Spring Festival couplets, cooking New Year's Eve dinner with Quanguan disciples, and preparing for the blessing dojo on the first day of the new year.

While Xu Qingmu was busy, he briefly recalled his previous life. At that time, there were a few such free people in Lingyun Temple. Although he could not remember their faces clearly, Xu Qingmu still remembered the feeling of spending the Spring Festival together.

He was very happy then, and he is very happy now, but right now, there is always a little bit of inexplicable regret and unsatisfaction in this happiness, and Xu Qingmu can't figure it out.

After eating the vegetarian dumplings, Quan Guan went to the Sanqing Hall together, preparing to meditate, chant scriptures and watch the night.

New Year's Eve is the time when the old and the new change in a year, and it is most suitable for meditation and chanting, but Xu Qingmu couldn't calm down for a long time, and the little Taoist priests next to him couldn't calm down either, and kept chatting.

Huskies and Bai Meimei also dozed off together, not interested in listening to scriptures.

Xu Qingmu never forced them, so he simply chatted with the little Taoist priests.

He Xingchu laughed for a while, then suddenly calmed down again, and said: "This year's New Year's Eve is so late, do the math, Mr. Song has been back for three months."

Hearing someone mention Song Jue, Bai Meimei who was dozing off suddenly opened her eyes.

Xu Qingmu glanced sideways at He Xingchu, but said nothing.

He Xingchu sighed, and said: "I said why I always feel that the New Year is a bit incomplete. It would be great if President Song was here."

Another little Taoist said, "Maybe I'll be back soon."

Hearing that Song Jue hadn't come back yet, Bai Meimei nestled into the husky's fur again and continued to doze off.

Several people chattered about Song Jue, which immediately made Xu Qingmu even more restless.He didn't want to pay attention to these little Taoist priests, got up and left Sanqing Hall alone, and went to the cliff where Song Jue and Song Jue practiced together in the back mountain.

There was no moon on New Year’s Eve, and except for the place where Lingyun watched the lanterns, the mountains were so dark that you couldn’t see your fingers.However, Xu Qingmu's eyesight is strong, and he can still clearly see that this mountain is covered with heavy snow, beautiful and deserted.

Xu Qingmu stood on the edge of the cliff, always feeling that he was waiting for something.

When it was almost midnight, Xu Qingmu's cell phone rang, and Song Jue sent a video call.

Xu Qingmu seemed to know what he was waiting for, he took a breath and quickly pressed the connect button.

Song Jue's face soon appeared in the video, still in a suit and leather shoes, with a serious hairstyle and serious expression.

Judging from his appearance, he hasn't finished socializing yet and is still working. He just took a break and found a corner where no one was around to send himself a video call.

At least when he saw Xu Qingmu in the video, Song Jue relaxed a lot. He said softly, "Your side is so dark that you can't see clearly."

Xu Qingmu said: "Why do you see so clearly? Haven't you seen enough every day?"

That's what I said, but I still moved a little to the place where the lantern was.

Song Jue relaxed even more, sank into the sofa, and said, "A year will pass soon."

Xu Qingmu said: "That's right."

Then the two were silent for a while, and Song Jue said again: "Are you on the edge of the cliff where we usually practice? It looks like a lot of snow. I am in the south, and there is no snow here."

Xu Qingmu turned the camera around clumsily so that Song Jue could see the snow scene in front of him.

Although it was very dark, it was still possible to see clearly that the white snow covered the originally verdant mountains and the blue-tiled roof of Lingyun Temple, which highlighted the vermilion walls.This strong red and white contrast is very interesting, a beauty created by nature.

Song Jue admired from the bottom of his heart: "It's so beautiful."

Then Song Jue also turned the camera and said, "Let you look at me."

He was on the top floor of a skyscraper at the moment. The large floor-to-ceiling windows had a panoramic view of the prosperity of the entire city. The lights were dim, the mountains and rivers were thousands of miles away, and every house was decorated with lanterns and festoons. The scene was very magnificent.

Xu Qingmu also admired sincerely: "The scenery created by hardworking hands is also beautiful."

As soon as the words fell, the countdown to the new year started.Both of them fell silent, listening to the lively shouts of the crowd not far away, and at the end of the second, both of them smiled at the same time: "Happy New Year."

Then, they laughed together again.

At the beginning of the new year, they shared what they saw through each other's eyes, so the night became extraordinarily gentle, and they didn't even have the urge to fight with each other.

Xu Qingmu asked, "When are you coming back?"

While he was speaking, Song Jue also said at the same time, "I'll be back soon."

Then both of them were taken aback, amused by their strange tacit understanding.

The sound of firecrackers and cheers rang out after the countdown, and Xu Qingmu heard the little Taoist priests calling him, and Song Jue in the video was also urged to return to the wine bureau by his assistant.After a brief encounter, they nodded to each other and said, "Goodbye, then."

Then, they tacitly hung up the video at the same time.

Xu Qingmu's regret and incompleteness have been made up after hearing Song Jue's "Happy New Year".

Maybe this is what it's like to have friends?

No, Song Jue is no longer just a friend to Xu Qingmu.It is a close comrade-in-arms and an important confidant who always quarrels and bickers every day, but always gives him strong support at critical moments.

The hunk pendant on the phone swayed slightly, Xu Qingmu poked it with a smile, and put the phone back in his pocket.

Song Jue said it was "very soon", but it took another month, and the early spring was over before he returned to Lingyun Temple.

Bai Meimei and the other little Taoist priests welcomed him back with great excitement, but Xu Qingmu was as indifferent as when he left.After sleeping late and seeing Song Jue appearing in the room next to him, Xu Qingmu raised his chin as a greeting, as if Song Jue just went to work in the morning and went home in the afternoon.

The days went back to the past, Xu Qingmu and Song Jue continued to practice every day, most of the time they got along well, occasionally quarreled and quickly reconciled.

Another Beidou day.

Feng Zhiguo, who hadn't seen him for a long time, went up the mountain again. After the ceremony, he found Xu Qingmu and wanted to ask Xu Qingmu to come down the mountain to help him perform a ritual ceremony for his friend's son.

Xu Qingmu invited him to the living room and received him with Song Jue.

But in fact, Xu Qingmu didn't come out of the mountain very often, and the disciples in Guanli couldn't afford to do things like this.

But Feng Zhiguo said sincerely: "This child's situation is a little special, and I think only you can handle it."

Seeing that he was really anxious, Xu Qingmu said, "Then tell me the details."

Feng Zhiguo told Xu Qingmu the story from the beginning.

What happened was the son of Feng Zhiguo's long-time friend, an eight-year-old boy named Meng Xiuyuan.

More than ten days ago, Meng Xiuyuan suddenly couldn't wake up after falling asleep, and just fell into a coma for more than ten days without any reason.Various examinations were done in the hospital, but no problem was found at all. The child's body was fine, but he just didn't wake up.

Xu Qingmu asked, "Did anything unusual happen before he passed out?"

Feng Zhiguo replied: "Indeed, the three of them went to the Bixi Valley Scenic Spot before the accident. My friend and his wife were a little irritable. After a fight, they didn't notice the child, so Xiuyuan got lost. The scenic spot works The personnel and the police searched for several hours but failed to find anyone. Xiuyuan came back by himself. He was not injured, but he was excited and said that he had met a big new friend. At first my friend and the couple didn’t care. , but after two days, Xiu Yuan just fell into a coma."

In fact, this kind of situation is very common, Xu Qingmu doesn't even need to look at it, just listen to Feng Zhiguo's narration and he can guess: the child has a light character, and his soul may be trapped by something dirty, so he can't wake up.

Feng Zhiguo said worriedly: "Isn't Bixi Valley always rumored to be haunted..."

Xu Qingmu didn't know this scenic spot, so he took a look at Song Jue. Song Jue had been to Bixi Valley and knew about it quite well, so he introduced it to him.

Bixi Valley is a well-known scenic spot in City C. It is a natural scenic area composed of a canyon with a length of ten kilometers.Here, the green peaks face each other, the four seasons are green and green, and the natural scenery is very beautiful.

In addition to the beautiful scenery, there are many mysterious legends in Bixi Valley, the most famous of which is that there are ghosts in the forbidden area of ​​Bixi Valley.

The restricted area of ​​Bixi Valley is an undeveloped virgin forest. It is said that there are often cries of ghosts and ghosts.

The people who went in were actually not in danger, and they would come out by themselves in a short time, but the strange thing is that the people who went in didn't remember where they went or what happened. The mood will be inexplicably good.

Later, the "Into Science" program team made a special issue of revealing the secrets of the forbidden area of ​​Bixi Valley. After careful investigation and analysis by experts, they came to a conclusion: the forbidden area has not been developed, and there are many relics left over from the dinosaur era. Rare vegetation.Among them is a peculiar plant whose pollen has a hallucinogenic effect, and if it is accidentally inhaled, it will produce auditory hallucinations.Although this kind of pollen will not cause too much damage to the human body, to be on the safe side, the management of the scenic spot still prohibits tourists from entering the forbidden area.

But in fact, the more it is prohibited, the more people will be disobedient and insist on going. Various social platforms often have tourists posting their wonderful feelings after going to the restricted area.

After Xu Qingmu listened, he was 100% sure that there was something in this forbidden area.

So he said to Feng Zhiguo again: "Do you ask someone to do something? It's just that if you leave the soul, a practitioner with a little stronger spiritual power can call the soul back."

Feng Zhiguo replied: "Many gentlemen have been invited, and they all agree with you that it is a departed soul. But no matter how you call it, this soul just can't be called back. I think it may be that the ghost haunting the child is very powerful. It can't be solved. My friends and I are about to collapse, so I have the cheek to invite you out of the mountain."

Judging from the rumors of Bixi Valley, this matter is a bit complicated, Xu Qingmu thinks that he might really have to check it out.

So Xu Qingmu quickly replied: "Okay, you can contact the child's parents and arrange a time that is convenient for them. I will go and have a look."

Feng Zhiguo was overjoyed, thanked Xu Qingmu and hurried down the mountain.
