The old demon of Montenegro wants to practice Taoism

A black dog sneered next to him, and Shan Yangze's expression froze immediately, and then he smiled and said, "I was in a hurry yesterday, and I didn't want to miss Sutou. If I didn't find this ruined temple, I would have slept in the wilderness. Who When I got up in the morning, I saw that it was a thousand-year-old temple, so I decided to take a closer look."

Two scholars have already entered the mountain gate, the one in front said: "Isn't it a thousand-year-old temple?" After speaking, he pointed to the two stone lions at the gate of the temple mountain, and said: "The lion's back is engraved with the words of the year of Zhang Wu. The characters in it are 1000 or [-] years old."

As he said that, the scholar in front had already walked up to Shan Yangze, and said: "Xiaosheng Ning Caichen is an examiner who went to Beijing to rush for the exam. He has lived in this temple for a while, and I don't know his name."

Shan Yangze announced his name, looked at Guo Qian who was behind him with a teasing face, and said with annoyance, "The scholar behind, as the saying goes, the visitor is a guest. Since we meet in this temple, why don't we make friends? It’s all about fate.”

Guo Qian's smile became more and more subtle, but he still said the name according to Shan Yangze's meaning, only to see Shan Yangze smiled and said: "This name is good. I hit it off with Brother Guo, why don't we visit this temple together how?"

Not to mention the ignorant Ning Caichen, even the well-versed Huai Shu felt that the king was too urgent, but Shan Yangze was happily thinking about love at first sight, and didn't care about these details at all.

Ning Caichen was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Xiaosheng has to go to review his homework and prepare for the spring boudoir, so he will go back to his room first."

But after sending it off, Shan Yangze breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Guo Qian: "Although the temple is damaged, the main hall, high platform and pagoda can vaguely see the old appearance, why don't we go in and take a closer look?"

Guo Qian thought it was funny, walked up to Shan Yangze and said, "Please." After speaking, the two squeezed in through the grass more than half a meter high, and walked all the way to the back of the temple.

The rest of the people looked at each other in blank dismay, especially Jin Yiwei and the little eunuch who followed Shanyangze, staring straight at the letter that was rumored to be Shanyangze's younger brother, and almost asked: Is your brother okay?

Will Huai Shu feel shy?Of course not, he waved his hand and said, "Don't care about them, what shall we have for breakfast?"

Jin Yiwei sighed, took a bow, arrow, knife and other things from his luggage, and went hunting without complaint.But before leaving, he felt uneasy again, watching the backs of Shan Yangze and Guo Qian disappearing into the weeds.

The structure of this temple is a release pond. On the left and right sides are monk houses, which is where they live. Not far behind the release pond is a stupa in the center of the temple. On the left, right and back of the stupa is a large hall. And the Buddhist hall, there is a row of monk's houses at the end, but they are in disrepair for a long time, and there are ruins everywhere, which look much dilapidated than the previous few dwelling houses.

The road behind is actually not easy to walk, the grass is more than half a meter high, and I don't know what else is inside.

Shan Yangze said: "These exams in Beijing are also very hard. It's only just summer now. I remember that the exams in Beijing are all in March, and there are still more than half a year of work. This is already on the way."

Guo Qian replied solemnly: "Where is half a year? You forgot, this year is the 11th year of Chenghua. Didn't you just finish the imperial examination? Didn't the emperor let you see the face of the new champion? Let me think about it. It seems that the surname is Xie?"

Originally, it was just to bring up a topic, but Shan Yangze was really dumbfounded.This is more than half a year, it is completely two and a half years.

But think about those scholars in the temple, all rely on one pair of feet to walk to the capital, trek across mountains and ridges for thousands of miles, and have to deal with various natural disasters, and the time for studying must not be lost on the road. It seems that going to the exam three years in advance is not enough Not so weird anymore.

But the topic is a little serious, Shan Yangze looked at Guo Qian, and said with a smile: "We have a car at home, and a god donkey, we can travel hundreds of miles a day, so don't worry."

Guo Qian felt that Shan Yangze was addicted to acting, so he glanced at him and said, "Xiaosheng still has to go to study, so he won't be fooling around with the king."

Shan Yangze grabbed the man's wrist, couldn't help but rubbed his little finger, and said, "Don't worry, there are people in the imperial court, and the provincial examination will take the palace examination."

You are enough!Guo Qian patted him.Shan Yangze just confessed after thinking about it for a short time, and it seemed that it was not too much, so he stopped talking and just held Guo Qian's hand and never let go.

The two walked around the main hall at the back, and vaguely saw that there were still many buildings behind, so they went back again.

Jin Yiwei who went hunting has not come back yet, Shan Yangze called the little eunuch to clean up Guo Qian's house.

The first two rows of monk's houses have five rooms on the left and right, and Shan Yangze and the others live in the two rooms closest to the mountain gate in the row on the right hand side of the entrance.The row of houses on the left looked a little better, but they were already full.Of the five rooms on the right, the innermost one had a wall collapsed and no one lived in it, and the next one was occupied by Ning Caichen who was Jiehu, and the next one was empty, which was the two rooms occupied by Shanyangze and the others. .

"Come, come, move your things across the room." Shan Yangze said, he couldn't react to the little eunuch, so he helped carry the things directly.

The little eunuch's three views were refreshed again, the palace was full of strange things, he thought that his heart was tough enough, but he didn't expect that he would gain insight today.This mountain real person actually drove them into a room, and let this newcomer... what's his name?Yes, Guo Qian, live next door to him.

After coming down, do you want to go all the way together, and then send him to the capital to catch up with the exam?

Not to mention the little eunuch, the hearts of the other people living in the temple are almost broken. When Shan Yangze hooked up with Guo Qian in the morning, it happened to be the time when everyone basically got up, and the courtyard was full of people coming and going, so lively .

Excluding the Shan family, all eight people in the temple saw the whole process of Shan Yangze and Guo Qian hitting it off at first sight, and they met to visit the temple after a few words.

One word!Just one sentence!Just asked for the name!

No wonder they hit it off.

However, Shanyangze and his party had a car, a horse, a donkey, a big black dog that didn't look very kind, and two accompanying servants, so everyone didn't dare to stare at them too arrogantly.After all, living in this monastery that doesn't need copper coins at all, the status will naturally not be so high.

After the room was changed, Jin Yiwei came in with two processed rabbits, and immediately roasted them on the open space where the mountain gate came in.

It is said that the meat is eaten for the first meal in the morning, and it is still grilled, so you are not afraid of getting angry!

After eating, Shan Yangze actually regretted it a bit. If he had hooked up with him without any suspense, he might as well just get on the donkey cart and go home, but he just cleaned up the house for someone, and he didn't live there for two days. Lived up to his intentions.

So after dinner, Shan Yangze pulled Guo Qian again, and the two went out of the mountain gate to wander around.

Now everyone can see that this good-looking master is really interested in this little scholar, otherwise why is he staying in this wilderness?

This old man is different from them, he can easily go to the next market in a carriage, unlike the group of people who rely on walking, who have to rest for two days, and then choose one of them to go out early in the morning.

For a whole day, everyone saw Mr. Shan's various fancy ways of showing affection, and the little scholar's various smiles. They couldn't help but reduce the frequency of going out, and secretly cursed in their hearts: Hurry up!

It's a pity that Shan Yangze made up his mind to stay one more night, and they had to be blind for a while.

To say that time passes quickly, although it is summer, the day passes by in a blink of an eye, and after dark, Shanyangze is not easy to stay in front of Guo, the two are affectionate, or Shanyangze is unilateral After giving up, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.

Although it has entered the dog days, there are dense forests all around here, and the bricks used to build the walls of the temple are thick and strong, so the room is very cool, and all the travelers in the temple sleep soundly.

However, in the dead of night, the sound of fighting suddenly came from outside the temple, and a moment later, a creepy scream came from the opposite monk's house!

Everyone was woken up, and hurriedly turned on the lights and walked out with their clothes on, only to see a disheveled middle-aged man running out of the innermost monk's house on the west side, shouting: "He's dead! He's dead! "

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man rolled and crawled towards the crowded place, with a panicked expression on his face, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

Shan Yangze glanced at Jin Yiwei, he leaned forward and whispered in Shan Yangze's ear: "There are two merchants living in that room, they didn't bring any goods with them, they must have sold their things and returned home."

The man was so frightened that his nose and tears flowed together, and he didn't recover for a long time.

Shan Yangze just wanted to see what happened, when he saw a person coming in from outside the mountain gate.

This man was dressed as a Taoist priest, with a round face and a pair of thick horizontal eyebrows, looking very fierce.A big sword in the Taoist's hand was still stained with blood, and the sword was buzzing. The Taoist looked around and said, "No one is allowed to pass!"

In the west room lived a young couple who had returned to their mother's house. When the wife saw such a scary-looking Taoist priest, she let out a groan and felt like fainting. The husband hurriedly helped him up.For a while, everyone in the temple froze, and no one spoke.

Jin Yiwei pressed the soft sword hidden in his belt, and wanted to go out.Unexpectedly, it was blocked by Shanyangze.

Shan Yangze raised his arm slightly, blocking the way of Jin Yiwei, and whispered: "Wait a little longer." People couldn't tell, but he clearly sensed that the blood on the big sword in the Taoist's hand belonged to a monster.

Seeing that no one moved, the Taoist knew that he had frightened everyone, so he took his sword and entered the room where it was said that someone had died.
