The main hall of the mountain temple.

Compared with Sangu Temple and Qingdi Temple, this main hall is very empty. There are no red silk ribbons, no futon table, only a altar and an incense burner, and there is only one mountain god statue on it.

The mountain god portrays the image of a middle-aged man with a sturdy back and a straight face. He wears an official robe and a windbreaker behind him, which is in line with people's imagination of gods these days.

The fourth senior brother lit three sticks of incense, inserted them into the incense burner, and bowed to them.

"I'm so polite."

The wind blowing in the temple is the response of the mountain god.

Although Fourth Senior Brother is here to do temple blessings, it is actually more like coming here to do some spiritual cultivation. He is taking care of the temple here, and the relationship between the gods and temple blessings is somewhat different from that in the ordinary temples down the mountain.

This point is somewhat similar to the difference between "the relationship between the Sixth Senior Brother and his family's Immortals" and "the relationship between the ordinary people supporting Ji under the mountain and their Immortals".

The Fourth Senior Brother is a man of virtue, and may not even be weaker than this new mountain god. The temple blessings in most temples under the mountain are ordinary people. They must serve the gods sincerely in order to have the gods appear, and the temple blessings must rely on the gods to mix incense and money.

, to live and make a living.

The fourth senior brother has equal capital to the mountain god.

For him, the mountain god gives him a suitable place to settle down and practice, so that he can practice with peace of mind. As for the mountain god, the fourth brother takes care of the temple for it, and can also go down the mountain to eliminate demons and promote its reputation, which can undoubtedly help him.

It brings more incense and encourages its Taoism.

Both sides help each other and each has its own benefits.

It's also possible that one day they find that they don't get along with each other, or they have other ambitions, and they break up.

"Please take good care of me in the future."

The fourth senior brother showed great sincerity and respect.

"call……"

The mountain wind blew up the statue's windbreaker.

The fourth senior brother smiled before going out.

After walking through the yard and walking out of the gate, except for the obstruction of a few trees in front of me, the view is wide open.

It was dinner time, the mountain breeze was cool, and the smoke from the villages at the foot of the mountain floated into a long sheet below, like a silk ribbon, silent and lingering. The small temple on the mountainside also rose from the smoke.

It's very lively outside——

Several junior brothers actually moved a big stone from the mountain and asked the junior sister to make it into a stone table and bench. At this time, they were discussing how to move it to a suitable location.

The third brother dug a small pine tree from somewhere on the mountain. It was not as high as a person's waist and planted it next to the stone table. The second brother was turning the spiritual elixir into spiritual water and slowly poured it on it.

A group of wolves and leopards lay sleeping quietly next to it.

A few dead branches on the table actually bloomed.

This temple, which was quite empty and deserted before today, actually now has a sense of comfort and leisure.

At the same time, the junior sister came over with rice.

A pot of roasted pheasant, a pot of konggan rice made with prunes and bacon, and several cans of egg and meatloaf soup for one person steamed in a small earthen pot are very common, but after traveling in the mountains for several days

, just the rising heat is enough to satisfy people.

Several bowls of food were placed on the stone table, which was very informal, and everyone was sitting on the freshly polished stone benches.

Night falls slowly, and there is a lingering light in the distant sky.

Everyone took advantage of the mountain breeze and glow to dine.

"When this pine tree grows up, Fourth Junior Brother, your clouded leopard will be able to sleep on the pine branches just like it did on Fuqiu Peak."

"Eagles, falcons and crows can also rest in trees."

"Fourth Brother, after we leave, if you find it troublesome to cook by yourself, you can also use an earthen pot to put rice and water, and then use another earthen pot to put meat, vegetables, oil and salt, and you can steam rice at the same time in one pot.

, bring some food and a can of soup." Lin Jue also said, "Tomorrow I will teach you how to make it, whether it tastes good or not, it will save you trouble anyway."

While the brothers and sisters were eating and chatting, they saw a gust of breeze blowing, and there seemed to be words hidden in the wind.

"Huh?"

It seemed like a reminder from the mountain god.

The fourth senior brother stopped his chopsticks and looked down the mountain.

Then I saw someone carrying lanterns and unlit torches, carrying baskets on their backs, heading up the mountain, and gradually approached the mountain temple.

He is a descendant of the Yan family.

During the day, the bedding and mats, pots and pans brought were not enough. Now they brought more things. When they put down their backpacks, they could see that they contained some bacon, pickled fish and the like.

"Ah! It's disturbing the real people's meal!"

"It's nothing." said the fourth brother, "why does the good believer come to visit so late?"

"Thank you, Master, the baby is awake."

The eldest son, Yan, hugged the boy and thanked him first. Then he said: "It's because my baby said some strange things after he woke up. We are not sure. My father thought about it for a long time and still felt that it was not good to delay. It was time to go up the mountain."

I came to thank the real people again, so I asked me to bring my baby to express my gratitude to the real people and ask for their advice."

"What's wrong?"

"Let him speak for himself."

Yan's eldest son put down the boy in his arms.

The boy stood at his feet, his body was weak, but his expression was like that of an adult, frowning and a little anxious: "Are you the real people who found me?"

"We are Taoist priests from Yishan. I am Hu Mengjin." The fourth senior brother said a Taoist salute and did not look down upon him because of his young age.

"Go to the Central Plains quickly! Tell them that a plague is coming!"

"Um?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the mountain was shocked.

"How to say?"

"I met plague ghosts when I was wandering around. Those plague ghosts said they were going to the Central Plains to spread the plague!"

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other.

"Tell me more about it."

"Hey, you may have heard about me. I didn't know why I was born in this family, and I don't know why I often wandered around since then. But you don't know, I already know that I can't go back, and this family treats me well.

, I also accepted this matter. In the past two years, I have been gradually forgetting the events of my previous life, and I have already figured out that it would be good to be his grandson in the future, so I will never go far away!"

The eldest son of the Yan family stood beside him, looking helpless, while his son spoke anxiously and in detail like an adult. It was really hard to imagine how they felt about this ethical abnormality.

"The reason I wanted to go far this time was because I met two plague ghosts when I was wandering around. I was hiding in a tree at the time. I didn't know they were plague ghosts at first. I just thought they were just like other ghosts in the mountains.

I was a little sleepy at that time, so I rested in the tree and listened to their conversation.

"Only after hearing this did I realize that they were two plague ghosts who had been ordered by someone to go northwest into the Central Plains and spread the plague to several counties, including my original hometown.

"How can I not be anxious?

"That's why I want to go back to my hometown and tell people, ghosts and gods, anyway, I have to tell them!

"Unexpectedly, I was discovered by 'people' on the way. They saw through my identity and said they wanted to kill me. In desperation, I hid in the woods where there were monsters.

"Now that I can't go, I'm going to ask some Taoist priests to go on my behalf! Let the authorities know!"

After hearing this, many Taoists could only look at each other.

People often have hallucinations when they are weak and in a trance. It is natural for the soul to be in a trance when it is separated from the body. It is normal to have any hallucinations. What this person said may not necessarily be true.

However, the second senior brother weighed it a little and felt that it was still not allowed to be careless, so he agreed:

"If there is such a thing, it is of great importance. Whether it is true or not, we should go and have a look as soon as possible. In this case, tell us the name of the place and we will set off early tomorrow morning."

"I can't remember anything else. I only remember Qingchuan County, Cuiwei County, and Liuyun County. My family originally lived in Qingchuan County. I have also been to Cuiwei and Liuyun, so I remember it clearly. But in their stories, in total

Going to six counties to spread the plague."

"Liuyun County..."

The Taoists themselves were heading northwest to those counties. Among the six Taoist temples, one was located in Liuyun County, so they were on their way.

"The poor Taoist will promise you that we will set off tomorrow morning!"

"Thank you, Taoist priest!"

"You're welcome, I just lost you. Half a month has passed and we don't know if we can still catch up. If we can catch up, we will eradicate the plague ghost!"

The second senior brother said and glanced at the fourth senior brother, who also nodded regretfully at him.

This is a convenient way to go, but originally everyone planned to accompany the fourth brother to stay in this mountain temple for a few more days. The scenery here is beautiful, it is just a few days of rest, and it is also a good time to plan the temple for him, and think about this temple.

And what the fourth brother's future life will be like, it can be considered a lot of fun, so we can only set off in a hurry.

"Please tell me carefully what you saw, what the plague ghost looked like, and what he said."

“Naturally!”

The child then told the story in detail.

Everyone listened very carefully.

The more I listen to it, the less it seems like it’s fake.

"We have recorded it. You can go back with peace of mind. I don't know what went wrong in what you did, but let's make peace with it. Throughout the ages, people with such anomalies can often achieve something as long as they can avoid premature death. Since

The Yan family treats you well, so just treat yourself as a descendant of the Yan family." The second senior brother said, "This mountain has a spiritual experience, and my junior brother is also capable, so he comes to the mountain more often when he has nothing to do."

"Noted it down."

Only then did the Yan family go down the mountain.

Everyone looked at each other and sat down to continue eating.

There is a dreamy glow in the sky, and there is a tinkling sound on the table.

When it gets dark, light the lamp.

After finishing the dinner on the cloud, the little junior sister quickly went to the mountain to move stones, and by the light of the lamp, prepared to dig out the cupboards, water and rice jars for the fourth senior brother at night.

Lin Jue went to wash the dishes, and his fourth senior brother also went with him.

I can't help but have some thoughts.

After today, there is one less person.

The fourth senior brother was right next to him, and seemed to be able to sense his thoughts, so he couldn't help but say: "If we leave it like this to the end, I'm afraid only you and the third senior brother will be left."

"yes."

"Junior brother, you have to say goodbye many times."

"There will eventually be a farewell, and someone will eventually leave." Lin Jue smiled and said, "Don't worry, Fourth Senior Brother. Although I am not as cool as Third Senior Brother, I don't think there is anything wrong with it."

"Your third senior brother is heartless."

"Still a little bit."

"Haha." Fourth senior brother laughed and added, "After junior brother settles down, he must deliver a letter and inform us of the location in detail. As long as it is not far away, I can ask Brother Ying to help us deliver the letter."

"nature."

Lin Jue nodded and agreed.

The two of them stopped talking and concentrated on washing the dishes.

After a while, Lin Jue couldn't help but asked: "Senior brother, are there really many things like this for the grandson of the Yan family in the world?"

"It's not much, otherwise it wouldn't be recorded in the county annals and major universities as strange things. But it's not much, at least it's recorded in the book." The fourth senior brother replied, turning to look at him again, like

As if she knew why he was asking, she smiled slightly and said, "This one is also called Su Hui."

"Su Hui."

"Yes, Su Hui." The fourth senior brother said, and then said with a smile, "Isn't it the same for junior brother?"

"Um?"

Lin Jue was immediately stunned.

After thinking about it, he didn't deny it, but asked: "How did senior brother see it?"

Lin Jue thought he would say that he was more mature than his peers, or that he knew far more things than his original identity should know, but it was not the case. He just shook his head and said with a smile:

"Because Junior Brother has other concerns in his heart."

Lin Jue became silent.

Yes——

The fourth senior brother practices the method of gathering animals and regulating birds. He can know the inner thoughts of birds and animals through their demeanor and eye movements. He must have an exquisite heart.
