I read miscellaneous books to become a sun god

Chapter 20

"How long will it be?" Yan Ruyu opened the curtain of the carriage and asked.

"It will take half an hour. And at this time, you can't go up the mountain, you can only sleep at the bottom of the mountain." Luo Zhen replied.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and it was time to hold the lanterns.

"Sleeping in the open, it's better than bumping in a carriage." Yan Ruyu smiled.

"When we get to the bottom of the mountain, it might be very lively." Luo Zhen replied.

"Is there a town under the mountain?" Yan Ruyu was curious.

"That's not the case. There are people who miss going up the mountain and sleep at the foot of the mountain every day. There are quite a few people, so every time the foot of the mountain is quite lively.

Speaking of which, the location of Qingyun Temple is too remote, with no front to the village or back of the store, even if it is good to build an inn at the foot of the mountain for people who come and go to rest their feet and sleep, the Taoist chief of Qingyun Temple disagrees. "Rozen explained.

He didn't run this line once or twice. People in Qingyang County often went to Qingyun Temple to offer incense and pray for gods. Except for those wealthy families with coachmen and carriages, the rest of them either walked all the way, or Hire a car at a car dealership.

"So that's how it is. Sleeping in the wilderness, it's better to be more lively." Yan Ruyu is now like a child going out for an outing, and she is happy when she hears the excitement.

Pulling down the curtain, Yan Ruyu held the candlestick in one hand, a ball of candlelight illuminated the interior of the carriage, and Gu Sheng leaned sideways to flip through the book by the candlelight.

"My lord, we will be at the bottom of the mountain in half an hour, but we have missed the time, and we have to stay at the bottom of the mountain overnight."

"I heard." Gu Sheng replied, putting the book aside.

The horse-drawn carriage did not expect to go so well, especially after loading a lot of things, the space in the carriage was not very large, and it became huddled after a long time.

"Young master, if you are tired, you can rest on my slave's lap for a while." Yan Ruyu stretched out her hand to caress Gu Sheng's cheek.

"Forget it, I can't stretch my legs." Gu Sheng sighed.

He wanted to come, and tried in the afternoon, but it was even more uncomfortable.

The only gain is that Yan Ruyu smells very good, like orchids, especially in such a small compartment.

After another half an hour, the carriage gradually stopped.

"My lord, we're at the foot of the mountain." Luo Zhen's voice came, and Yan Ruyu immediately opened the curtain.

Gu Sheng jumped off the carriage and stretched himself.

You can see that there are quite a few people sitting on the side of the road, or lying on the ground with their clothes together. Most of these people are not well dressed, and they have walked for half a day or even a day to get here.

There were also many carriages parked on the side of the road, and piles of bonfires were lit.

This kind of scenery reminded Gu Sheng of the campsite in the scenic spot.

"My lord, so many people have traveled long distances just to get incense at Qingyun Temple." Yan Ruyu was quite vigilant, and jumped down with her small knife to follow behind Gu Sheng—a ten-pound wild goose. The winged sword is already twice as heavy as that used by ordinary people, and it is also a two-handed sword.

But compared with Gu Sheng's, it's just a small knife.

"Gu Xianggong, I'll go discuss it with them and use the bonfire to heat up some food." Luo Zhen said.

It was not cold at this time, so there was no need to light another fire by myself.

After a while, Luo Zhen discussed with others, came back to get dry food and water, and went there with Gu Sheng and others.

On the other side are two carriages, seven people sitting together, the middle one is a Yuanwailang with a handsome girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, and the others are coachmen and nurses.

The so-called Yuan Wai Lang is a freelance job bought by local tyrants and gentry. He has no real power, but has an identity. The hat he wears is also different from the official hat, so he can be recognized at a glance.

"Excuse me." Gu Sheng stepped forward and cupped his hands.

Seeing Gu Sheng's tall and majestic figure and handsome appearance, the other party's eyes lit up immediately, he stood up and said with a smile: "Don't bother, we met by fate, and we just happened to be together."

Recently, Gu Sheng grew three centimeters taller, reaching a height of 1.7 meters [-], which is definitely superior to others.

Moreover, his appearance is heroic and immature, making him young at first glance.

After the two parties sat down, they started chatting.

"Look at the direction, Xianggong is from Qingyang?"

"good."

"I heard that there are monsters in Qingyang County? Has the matter been resolved? Is it the hand of the Taoist leader of Qingyun Temple?"

"Really? It's resolved." Gu Sheng pondered in his heart, it seems that there have been many monsters in places recently.

"Those monsters are really hateful." Yuanwailang slapped his thigh and said angrily:
"A few days ago, a man was fascinated by monsters and brought the monsters home. As a result, only one deaf and dumb servant was left to die. It was so miserable! Thanks to the Taoist priest of Qingyun Temple, it was destroyed. that scourge.

One of my visits this time is to offer incense, and the other is to invite another Dharma protector back. "

"Shangping County?" Gu Sheng remembered that the county yamen servants had come to invite Daoist Xu, but they hadn't been invited, and they said they had gone to Shangping County to get rid of demons.

"That's right, even you know?"

"I heard a little bit." Gu Sheng nodded.

That Yuanwailang talked about this topic for a long time, and then began to inquire as soon as his voice changed: "Does Mr. Xiang have a reputation?"

"How old is it?"

"Are your parents here?"

"Is there a marriage?"

Gu Sheng answered at first, but after a few sentences, he became speechless.

As soon as he looked up, he saw the girl next to Yuanwailang looking at him shyly and timidly, with shining eyes.

Gu Sheng wanted to say "I already have a marriage contract" to evade it, but before he could open his mouth, Yan Ruyu said from the side

"My son is not married yet! Besides, my son is knowledgeable, capable of both literature and martial arts, and is also proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting..."

After a few words, Yuanwailang's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he felt that he was a good son-in-law, but Yan Ruyu's voice changed: "But my son is going to go on a study tour soon, and I'm afraid it will take a few years to come back."

"Confused! It's not too late for a man to start a family first and then start a career." Yuanwailang said immediately.

"Yuan Wai Lang, don't listen to my maid, I have no intention of getting married at the moment." Gu Sheng evaded, and gave Yan Ruyu a glance.

As a result, Yan Ruyu's eyes were bent, and she must be laughing under the veil.

This little vixen will have to teach her a lesson one day.

"Miss Yan is right. This time Daoist Xu killed the monster, Gu Xianggong also put in a lot of effort. One person and one knife stopped the monster, otherwise the monster would have run away." Luo Zhen also said on the side.

That Yuanwailang's eyes brightened even more.

Gu Sheng cursed secretly in his heart.

Don't flatter when it should be flattered, what should you flatter when it shouldn't?
In the end, Gu Sheng couldn't stand Yuanwailang's endless words and the girl's shy and timid eyes that almost grew on him, so he ran away after eating.

……

After lying in the carriage all night, Gu Sheng saw that everyone else had already gone up the mountain early the next morning, so Gu Sheng carried a knife and took Yan Ruyu up behind him.

The main reason is to avoid being pestered by that Yuanwailang again.

As for Luo Zhen, he was guarding the car at the foot of the mountain.

The Qingyun Temple does not occupy a large area, but the main hall is huge. Inside stands a four-meter-high, blue-faced red-haired, Dharma Protector Marshal Wen who holds a mace. It looks extremely magnificent and has a sense of oppression.

There is only this statue in the hall, which makes Gu Sheng feel a little strange.

According to the travel notes he read, such a large Taoist temple usually enshrines multiple gods, and the guardian gods are usually in the side hall.

Only this Qingyun temple enshrines a Dharma protector in the main hall.

Although there was a little doubt in his heart, Gu Sheng didn't take it seriously, he just thought about it for a while and then threw it behind his head.

He picked up a stick of incense and lit it, but at this moment he felt a tightness in his heart, as if he felt a little uncomfortable.

Gu Sheng was puzzled, this was the first time he felt this way these days.

His face remained motionless, his eyes swept around, but nothing was gained.

However, when he looked up at Marshal Wen, he was shocked. Gu Sheng felt that the other party seemed to be looking at him, and there seemed to be a joke in his eyes.

Under careful scrutiny, there was nothing abnormal, it seemed to be an illusion just now.

Gu Sheng pondered for a moment, feeling that he was thinking too much.

After burning a stick of incense, Gu Sheng took Yan Ruyu away, and after leaving the main hall, Yan Ruyu said in a low voice: "Master, I felt uncomfortable in the main hall just now, as if someone was watching me."

Gu Sheng nodded, he felt the same way, so he left in a hurry.

But looking at other people, there is no abnormal color on their faces, it seems that only myself and Yan Ruyu have this feeling.

Gu Sheng thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. He wondered if it was because the Dharma Protector enshrined in Qingyun Temple really existed, and he just glanced at the two of them just now?
However, there is no way to verify this matter, so it can only be put aside.

I found a [-]-year-old Taoist priest near the main hall and said, "I have an appointment with Daoist Xu. I came here to borrow a book and read it. I wonder if Daoist Xu is here?"

"Is the good believer's surname Gu?" the little Taoist asked, seeing Gu Sheng nodding, he said: "Master suddenly went down the mountain yesterday, but he has explained the matter before he left, so benefactor Gu can come with me."

The little Taoist said as he led the way: "The master said that if believers have nothing to do, they can stay in the temple for a few days, and the books in the temple can be read by the believers.

The shortest is two days, and the slowest is three days, and the master will come back. "

"That's the best, I'm sorry." Gu Sheng laughed.

He came here not only to read books, but also to inquire about practitioners with Taoist Xu, and it would not be a problem to wait for a few days.
