Chapter 23 The View of Qingxu (2)
The ancients often said that Shu was the beauty of the mountains and waters. The top of Shu Mountain and the vicissitudes of the fairy spirit are even more powerful than the mountains and rivers.
Since Xiao Xiu and Su Jinzhai went to Shushan and walked towards Qingxuguan all the way, her bright red mouth has never been closed. Her pair of big black eyes seem to be insufficient. The scenery of Shushan is as beautiful as a scroll, and the clear water and green mountains are seen. The top of the mountain is hazy and straight into the clouds and mist. The sea of clouds is rolling like smoke as a wisp of cooking fires. It seems that there are really immortals practicing elixirs there!
When I was halfway up the mountain, I saw the eaves of Qingxuguan, which were proudly ripping past like smoke and rain. The towering and high view stood up in the sky, getting closer and closer. You could vaguely see series of bells hanging under the eaves covered by golden tiles, quietly cage under the bright sunlight, and auspicious clouds and flying beasts were engraved on the roof. It was really a holy place for immortals.
"Master, Qingxu Temple is truly worthy of the world's number one Taoist temple. It's so beautiful!"
Xiao Xiu followed Su Jinzhai, pulled his sleeve and said excitedly, "It's really worth seeing this beautiful scenery."
Su Jinzhai turned his head and looked at her calmly, pulled back his robe, and the speed of climbing to the steps was getting faster and faster. Xiao Xiu grimaced at his back in disappointment, lifted up the hem of the skirt and followed him quickly.
"Master, wait for me!"
The two walked to the gate of Qingxuguan Mountain. Xiao Xiu raised his head and saw a natural giant stone towering at the end of the stone steps. The three blood-red characters "Qingxuguan" were engraved on the big stone with a prominent momentum. It was engraved with a full of demonic essence and blood. Each stroke was smashed out like a bone-cutting and scraping flesh. The meaning of killing and killing was like a storm of wind and waves breaking out of the stone and rushing towards him!
Just a glance made Xiao Xiu tremble and daunted.
She couldn't help but hide behind Su Jinzhai. Feeling her fear, Su Jinzhai made a rare voice lighter: "When you have attained enlightenment, you have not grown up the courage."
Xiao Xiu looked at his back angrily, and his words were still so mean. Before she could speak back, a graceful smile came from one side. Xiao Xiu looked at him and saw a group of people dressed in Taoist nuns slowly coming from the stone steps on the other side.
The leader of the Taoist nun was about forty years old, with a sharp face, and her eyes were so sharp that it seemed to be able to split the evil spirits, with a arrogant look standing beside her. A woman with her eyebrows were as distant as autumn water, her eyebrows were gentle, her skirt was like butterflies, and her ribbon was floating. Apart from the Emei sword, there was also a green jade flute hanging on her waist.
The laughter just now came from her mouth.
Xiao Xiu clearly felt Su Jinzhai's body trembling slightly. She frowned and felt a little uneasy in her heart when facing these people. She was pulling Su Jinzhai's sleeves and urging him to leave as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, the leader's Taoist nun actually spoke first, and her voice was so gloomy that there was no emotional ups and downs: "I really didn't expect that the old thing Qingshan actually sent you a lay disciple to help Fushan overcome the tribulation."
Xiao Xiu looked at the nun's misconduct and had no affection for her. She continued to pull Su Jinzhai's back hand against the sleeve behind her, but the latter reached out and pressed her restless little hand, but smiled faintly on her face, and said with a respectful tone: "Jinzhai has met Master Shanxin, and his master is old and cannot travel far away. Jinzhai is willing to serve as the master."
Shanxin curled her lips and did not say much about this. Instead, she turned to look at the woman in plain clothes beside her and said lightly: "Aunteng, aren't you clamoring to see your brother Jinzhai? After leaving for a few years, you should also reminisce about the past."
Shan Xin paused, glanced at Su Jinzhai, who had been drooping his eyelashes. She smiled coldly: "You are going to get married in the end. The combination of Buddhism and Taoism is something that everyone hopes for."
The woman named "Old Dream" lowered her head shyly when she heard this, and she was a little shy and didn't dare to look at Su Jinzhai. Her face turned a little red.
Xiao Xiu felt like he was shocked and was stunned. He actually had a engagement?
For some reason, an indescribable bitterness spread from the top of my heart, and my eyes were filled with sourness, just wanting to cry.
There was no emotional change on Su Jinzhai's face. He nodded slightly to Shanxin, then raised his legs and walked into the mountain gate.
Xiao Xiu was still standing still with her head down, and she didn't know that Su Jinzhai had walked away. Su Jinzhai took a few steps, and when she saw that she had not followed, she turned around and frowned and looked at her and said, "What are you still standing there?"
"……ah?"
Xiao Xiu Hou realized it and suppressed the feeling of eating coptis chinensis in her heart. She raised her head and forced a smile to reveal a smile, nodded and responded: "It's here."
Just after taking a step, Xiao Xiu felt a sudden cold feeling coming from behind her, like a strong cold wind in winter, as if she was about to pass her through her heart.
Su Jinzhai's face changed drastically. He quickly walked forward and hugged Xiao Xiu's body and twisted and turned sideways. The speed was as fast as a gust of wind. The two people's snow-white clothes were flying and black and black hairs flew around. The cold wind wiped Xiao Xiu's arms like a thrust through and nailed into a large scattered stone behind her. The large stone suddenly shattered into slag and burst open unwillingly to the surroundings.
Xiao Xiuyi felt his warm breath in Su Jinzhai's arms. Although she had just faced a killing, her heart felt inexplicably relieved, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but bend upwards.
Suddenly, Shan Xin glared at her fiercely with a fierce look, and said coldly: "I didn't expect that you, Su Jinzhai, would dance with the demons!"
Su Jinzhai gently let go of Xiaoxiu and pulled her behind him. Mo Chen's indifferent eyes were neither sad nor happy, as quiet as water: "The master is joking. She is not a demon, but I... I just raised a pet, but I have only attained enlightenment."
Gu Meng opened her lips slightly in surprise, looked at Xiao Xiu behind Su Jinzhai, and said in a gentle voice: "Brother Jinzhai, is she your pet?"
Xiao Xiu stuck out his tongue angrily. He was not your pet, so why was he so surprised?
Su Jinzhai responded lightly, but Shanxin was aggressive and looked at Xiao Xiu coldly and said, "After all, he is a demon, very bloodthirsty, and I may have the intention of killing the master one day!"
"I don't know!"
Xiao Xiu poked his head slightly from behind Su Jinzhai and kicked his eyes at Shanxin: "I will not hurt the mage, I will also protect him!"
Su Jinzhai suddenly chuckled slightly for some reason. Xiao Xiu was surprised by his sudden smile, but saw him look up and say indifferently to Shanxin: "Master, don't worry, if my pet really had a trace of evil heart, I would have taken her away with my own hands."
After saying that, without waiting for Shan Xin to answer, she pulled Xiao Xiu's arm and walked towards Qingxuguan. Xiao Xiu followed his footsteps obediently, but felt Shan Xin's eyes pierced on her back like a knife.
At this time, the sun was setting in the west, the dusk was deep, the green mountains were clear, and the incense of Qingxu Temple was swaying. Xiao Xiu followed Su Jinzhai in a low mood. After entering the mountain gate, a Taoist priest came into the temple. Listening to the Taoist sound along the way was more refreshing than the Sanskrit sound of Qingyun Temple, eliminating distractions.
Walking to the entrance of the Qingxu Temple Hall, two little Taoists dressed up as disciples and slowly opened the door. The sunset sprinkled into the bluestone in the hall. In the middle was the statue of the Three Qing Dynasties. The long lamp in front of the table was bright and burning quietly in the twilight of the sunset.
A middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest slowly came, and he looked pale, as if he had been hiding in the house for many years without seeing the sun. His cheeks were thin, his short and smart triangular eyes, and his hiding blue robe was slightly wrinkled. He showed his weak and thin legs while walking. Xiao Xiu curled his lips, but he didn't see the aura of immortality from him, but he felt like a fortune teller in the Changjie Market.
"Are you... Master Fushan?"
Xiao Xiu pointed at him, her eyes filled with disappointment.
"Don't be rude."
Su Jinzhai scolded coldly, Xiao Xiu immediately withdrew his fingers, obediently lowered his eyelashes, and stood beside obediently.
Su Jinzhai bowed to him and said rudely: "Senior Brother Wangquan, don't be as good as her."
The Taoist priest named Wangquan laughed loudly, with an open-minded look on his face, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, Junior Brother Su is so lucky. He has found such a delicate and beautiful charm and practiced happily, and may be on the right path."
Xiao Xiu only realized that he was not a Fushan at this moment, but he was much more kind than the old Ni who didn't understand accidents, so he naturally gained some favor for him.
"What, your master hasn't come out of seclusion yet?"
Shanxin's voice came in from outside the door like a needle, and a group of Taoist nuns rushed into the room. Xiao Xiu's face changed. Thinking of her deadly palm, she unconsciously arched to Su Jinzhai's side.
Wangquan hurriedly stepped forward and gave Shanxin a tribute, and smiled gently, "I am worried about it. The master has not yet come out of seclusion. I think that the heavenly disaster is coming, and the master needs to deal with it carefully. The two masters have come here to help, and I am not very grateful to Qingxu Temple."
Shan Xin waved his hands casually with a arrogant look on his face and said, "No need to say too much, Taoism, I, Emei, will naturally not ignore it. I think that Kunlun will not stand by and watch."
“Yes, yes.”
Wangquan responded quickly and said with a smile: "Two days ago, Kunlun had already sent a message, and the Penglai Immortal Master and Apprentice were on the way. I thought, I will arrive in the past two days. You have worked hard all the way. The sky is about to fall. Xiaoguan has prepared the wing room and please rest for a while."
Shanxin nodded slightly, turned around and left the hall. Gu Meng also turned around and walked out of the hall with her. Before leaving, she turned around and looked at Su Jinzhai. The two of them looked at each other. Su Jinzhai nodded slightly to her. Gu Meng's face turned red, and she pursed her lips and walked out.
Xiao Xiuzhen felt extremely uncomfortable when she saw this scene, and her hands were angrily sucking her sleeves.
Su Jinzhai turned his head to look at Wangquan, and a bright light flashed across his eyes. He smiled and said, "As soon as he entered Shu Mountain, it really makes people linger. Just say that the mountains are high and the rivers are beautiful, the mountains are covered with cockroaches, the weather is vast and the scenery is particularly strange."
Wangquan smiled slowly, Su Jinzhai glanced at him, his eyes deep, but his words suddenly changed, and he said, "It's just that the valley is deep, the wilderness, the vast siege, and many snakes, rats and wild camphor trees are born. Some people will inevitably go on evil paths and like to suck people's essence and blood, so the valley has become the grave of those who die in vain."
