my God

Song Yan and his party walked around the mountain where the Fuxing Temple was located. They were tired and thirsty. When they rushed to the water source, they found that there were actually two people appearing in this dark place.

It was an old man with gray temples and a young girl of eight or nine years old. Both of them were wearing Taoist robes, but the color of the Taoist robes was dark gray, which was different from the light gray of Fuxing Temple.

Song Yan's group of six and the other two looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't know how to say hello.

Daoist Gao was the first to come back to his senses, cupped his fists respectfully and saluted the old man, and said, "You always come here to drink water? I'm very sorry for disturbing you!"

Song Yan looked at Taoist Gao and frowned slightly, because Taoist Gao's attitude was so respectful that his back stiffened, as if he was afraid of the other party's sudden anger.

The old man on the opposite side was leaning on a cane and coughed a few times. The little girl beside him hurriedly reached out to support him.

"It's okay, we are leaving." The old man said in a hoarse voice.

He never looked directly at this place, and the little girl kept her head down, Song Yan couldn't see their faces clearly.In view of Taoist Gao's respect for the old man, Song Yan didn't dare to open up his consciousness to take a closer look.

Daoist Gao saluted the old man again, then pointed to the person behind him, and said, "This is a new Taoist friend from the Fuxing Temple. They will patrol the mountain these few days."

The old man still didn't look at them, just nodded slightly, and then he said "let's go" to the little girl, and the two left together, and soon disappeared into a forest.

"Who are they?" The Taoist surnamed Li asked Taoist Gao curiously.

"It turned out to be a Taoist expert in Guanli, but now he lives in seclusion in the mountains and rarely comes out." Gao Taoist stared at the forest and replied in a low voice.

Song Yan also looked at the forest, always feeling that something was wrong.

"Okay, drink water and get on the road!" Daoist Gao hurriedly interrupted everyone's curiosity and speculation.

Several people took a few sips of clear water with their hands, and then followed Taoist Gao to move on.Soon, they set foot on the path that they first came to Houshan, and then returned to the temple safely along the path.

After returning to the room, I saw Daoist Yang sitting in the room waiting for them.

Several juniors saluted Daoist Yang one after another, and Daoist Yang returned the salute kindly, and then Song Yan called Daoist Yang out.

"Master, are you okay this afternoon?" Song Yan was really worried, and asked immediately after reaching a secluded place.

"It's okay, the master of the hall is surnamed Zhang. When I was young, I used to practice with him in a Taoist temple in the southwest." Daoist Yang explained slowly, "One of his disciples is cultivating a Taoist temple in the south and wants to establish himself, but there is no high merit in the temple. Master, there is no old Taoist cultivator who can protect the Dharma, so he wants me to go and be a supervisor."

"You... agreed?" Song Yan asked cautiously.

Daoist Yang touched his head with a smile and said, "What do you think?"

Song Yan thought for a while and said, "I didn't agree, so he lobbied you all afternoon."

"Yeah!" Yang Daochang nodded with a smile, and then asked, "What about your side?"

"Mountain Patrol!" Song Yan sighed helplessly, "Our task is to go around the top of the mountain to make sure that there are no dangerous animals hidden in the forest, or people who want to sneak up the mountain."

Daoist Yang said without any surprise: "The Luotian Dajiao is about to begin, and the disciples in the temple must have ritual tasks to prepare for, so we need outsiders to help with this kind of work."

"Tsk! Are they not afraid of outsiders' betrayal?" Song Yan couldn't help but chuckle.

"You child," Daoist Yang touched his head again, "what are you thinking! You must be more cautious before the conference, after all, there will be many people coming, and there is no room for mistakes."

"By the way, master!" Song Yan suddenly remembered what happened when he patrolled the mountain just now, "Just now we saw two strange Taoist priests, one big and one small, at the source of the back mountain and water. Taoist Gao was very polite to them, but I always feel that What's wrong..."

Song Yan explained this matter in detail.

"It's not uncommon for many high priests to leave their temples and live in seclusion in the mountains," Daoist Yang replied.

"No..." Song Yan shook his head, and after thinking about it, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "I know!" He grabbed Daoist Yang's sleeve, a little excited, "Master, they don't have three fires on their shoulders! "

Every human being has three fires on his shoulders. These three fires represent spirit, yang, and anger, while demons and ghosts do not have these three fires.

Song Yan's Dharma eyes are fully opened because of the knot in the pill, and he can see this kind of fire. If there is sunlight or light, the fire will not be obvious, but just now the woods were pitch black, and the old and young couldn't see it after walking in. fire.

"Could they be..." Song Yan looked at Master, but didn't say the rest of the sentence.

Daoist Yang signaled him to silence, then looked around before whispering to him, "Whether they are human beings or something, don't make it public for now, let's wait and see what happens!"

After the master and apprentice exchanged information and suggestions, they went back to sleep.

The next day, Taoist Gao asked someone to send over the duty list for the mountain patrol.

Song Yan took it over and took a look. The six people were divided into three teams according to the dojo they were in, and the patrol time was also divided into morning, afternoon and night.

The morning of the sixth day is the Temple of Medicine King, the afternoon is the Temple of the Mountain God, and the evening is the Yuhuang Pavilion; The Yaowang Temple is the Mountain Temple at night.

After three days, the mountain patrol tasks of each team were the same, which seemed fair and reasonable.

After reading the duty list, Wang Yanjun said to Daoist Yang: "Then after dinner, I will go to patrol the mountains with Bald Nao Gai first?"

"Well," Daoist Yang nodded, "Be careful, don't take it lightly if you are in the deep mountains and wild forests."

"Don't worry, as long as you don't meet..." Wang Yanjun thought of what he was afraid of, and he didn't dare to say it, afraid of being told.

"It's okay, senior brother, I'm here!" Cui Yu answered immediately, "I'll go ahead and startle the snake, you don't have to be afraid!"

Wang Yanjun couldn't help giving him a blank look, but he didn't dare to say anything, after all, he might really have to rely on others for help.

After a few people went to the dining hall to have breakfast, a group of people from Yaowangmiao set off from the back door to patrol the mountains, while the other two groups went about their own business.

The two Taoist priests in the Yuhuang Pavilion wandered around the Fuxing Temple, and then went to watch the rehearsal of the rituals of the masters of Gao Gong.

Song Yan and Master didn't have much interest in this Dharma meeting. The reason why they came here was to understand the cause and effect of the hexagram.So the two stayed in the house to meditate.

At noon, Wang Yanjun and Cui Yu came back. Wang Yanjun was pale, and he didn't need to guess to know that he had really encountered a snake.Song Yan deliberately asked Cui Yu, "Have you encountered a snake?"

"Well, it's a big one, it's green, it's a pheasant's neck!" Cui Yu said seriously.

"Poisonous snake! Are you all right?" Song Yan said while glancing at Wang Yanjun. Wang Yanjun's face was still pale and he couldn't even eat.

"It's okay! The snake just came out to bask in the sun, and when it saw someone coming, it left by itself, and we only saw half of its tail." Cui Yu replied truthfully.

Song Yan thought it was funny to scare someone like that with just a snake's tail.But he was kind enough, he didn't continue to provoke Wang Yanjun, and concentrated on eating.

In the afternoon, Daoist Yang was going to patrol the mountains with Song Yan, but Song Yan stopped him.

"Master, I can go alone for this kind of thing, you stay in the room and rest!" He knew that the master had made a breakthrough in the realm recently, and it needed time to stabilize and refine it.

Daoist Yang hesitated for a long time before nodding in agreement: "Well, I guess there won't be any danger during the day, so be careful yourself!"

Song Yan nodded, but was stopped by Cui Yu when he was about to go out alone.

"Senior Brother Song, let me go with you!"

"No, you have a good rest in the house, and go out for a walk if you can't be free! I can do it alone!" Song Yan smiled at him.

"Then you are not afraid alone?" Cui Yu was obviously worried.

"What are you afraid of?" Song Yan said indifferently, "Don't worry, I'll come back after a turn!"

After speaking, Song Yan went out alone to patrol the mountains.

It was the time when the autumn tiger was raging in the afternoon, and Song Yan saw Khan not long after he left.

He walked fast, and after walking around the entire mountain quickly, it was only about three o'clock.Seeing that the water source was in front of him, Song Yan decided to go to have a look again. It was too dark last night, so he didn't see what was going on there clearly.

Fuxing Temple is not short of money, so naturally it has already been connected to the electricity, and there are water pumps available for draft, so there is no need to carry buckets of water up the mountain by hand.

A small well building was built above the mountain spring, and the water pump pipes were tied into the well building, and there was a small pool outside the well building, and the water in it overflowed from the well building.They came to this small pool yesterday.

Song Yan stood by the pool and looked at the nearby woods. The woods were quiet, and there were no strange signs.

After he squatted down and drank some water, he took off his coat after thinking about it, and began to wash his face and neck.

He didn't take a shower after sweating last night. If he didn't take a shower today, he would die of pain.As for whether bathing is allowed in this pool... Anyway, no one saw it!Besides, it is downstream, so it cannot pollute the drinking water in the temple.

Although the water was a bit cold, he was strong enough to hold it.So he simply took off all his clothes and jumped into the pool to take a bath.

While he was washing, he suddenly had the feeling of being watched by someone. He immediately turned his head to look, but he didn't find anyone nearby.

He walked out of the pool and put on his clothes. While carefully looking around, he let go of his spiritual sense and sensed it.

The prying eyes disappeared, as if everything was just an illusion.

But Song Yan was sure that someone had indeed scouted him just now, and he was not an ordinary person.

This reminded him of when he first went up to the mountain temple, the gods always watched him with divine sense... That feeling is very strange and also makes people feel at a loss. You can feel that someone is looking at you, but you don't know From which direction is it seen.

Could it be that the god is coming?

Song Yan immediately looked at several nearby trees.

Let alone crows, there are no birds.

and many more!

Song Yan was suddenly startled.

It's so quiet on the mountain!From the afternoon until now, he hadn't even heard a bird cry!

There might be something hidden in this mountain forest... Song Yan subconsciously looked into the nearby forest.

The author has something to say:

A sneeze!

Shen Jun rubbed his nose and couldn't help but think to himself: Did someone mention me behind my back?
