Chapter 387 Uphill (6K+)

One is from Yancheng, the other is from Baoling. The two cities set off at the same time, but when they reach the foot of Jiulongling Mountain, they are only a short distance away.

In the past, Xiangli, who followed Jiang Shaoyan almost everywhere, couldn't help her eyes turn red. Looking at Jiang Shaoyan, she almost didn't cry out: "Miss, you are going up the mountain alone, what can you do without slaves?"

Xiao Wu on the side looked at Xiangli, who was about to cry out, stuffed a piece of sugar cake into her mouth, blocking her mouth, and said a few "truths": "Don't worry! Miss is not You're fine, but you don't have a young lady, I'm afraid you can't do it well, you're going to cry..."

The "Xiaowu brand" candy cake that he used to love in the past suddenly lost its sweetness, Xiangli's red phoenix eyes widened, and he stared fiercely at Xiaowu: He was the only one who opened his mouth and could talk, right?
Jiang Shaoyan, who was re-checking the package, didn't say anything when she heard the words, she just smiled, and after carrying the packaged package on her back, she turned around and pinched Xiangli's round face, and said two words: "Don't worry! "

The lady said "Don't worry"... Xiangli, who was still stuffed with sugar cakes, nodded hurriedly, pointed at the position of his heart, and then "swiped" down to show that he must let go of his heart.

"Miss Jiang Si!" Not far away, Ji Chongyan, who had arrived half an hour early, also got off the carriage and walked over here, and Lu on the side was carrying a small package in his hand. Ji Chongyan wanted to bring things up the mountain.

"Ji Shizi." After checking the package, Jiang Shaoyan tied the package on her back and jumped out of the carriage.

Jiang Shaoyan smiled at Ji Chongyan's gaze, and turned to look at the mountain road up the Jiulong Ridge: "Is your son ready?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present instinctively followed the girl's gaze.

Today is a sunny day. There is no shelter below the halfway of Kowloon Ridge. With good eyesight, even the bushes in the mountains can be clearly seen.

But halfway up the mountain is covered with a thin layer of mountain mist. From a distance, it seems to be separated by a layer of veil to isolate the prying eyes of the world.

The clouds and mist are misty, and there is really a hint of the realm of the fairy family in it.

But whether it is a real fairy house or not, you will know if you go up the mountain and have a look.

Jiang Shaoyan nodded to Ji Chongyan, and the two walked towards the mountain road.

Xiangli, who only agreed to Jiang Shaoyan's peace of mind, looked at this pair of backs and her eyes turned red again: "Miss and Shizi are going to break into the dragon's lake and tiger's lair like this? Will those bad guys bully them?"

Xiao Wu glanced at her, and said again, "Miss Si and Shizi are the nemesis of the bad guys, just don't worry!"

They can't meddle in the "Fairyland Realm" fight randomly, and meddling indiscriminately will most likely ruin Miss Fourth's plan.Ever since I came to Baoling, as long as I listen to Miss Fourth, nothing is impossible, so don't worry!

The mountain road in Jiulongling is not steep, Jiang Shaoyan and Ji Chongyan chatted while walking, the moisture in the mountain with morning dew was very fresh, which made people feel very comfortable.

"This is really a good place to live in seclusion." Jiang Shaoyan sighed while walking, "If there is no interference from ordinary things, it is really suitable for people from outside the world to clean up!"

"Although there is no Jiulongling in Chang'an, there is Zhongnan Mountain. I have a garden in the middle of the mountain. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, and there are several springs in it. It is acceptable whether you live long-term or temporarily." Ji Chongyan said There was a pause here, his eyes fell on the girl's eyebrows, and he said, "After returning to Chang'an City, I invite Miss Jiang Si to come. Miss Jiang Si must not refuse Chongyan."

Jiang Shaoyan responded with a smile when she heard the words, and suppressed the deep meaning in her eyebrows and eyes: Zhongnan Mountain in Chang'an City, the description in Xiaobaicai's mouth is really very yearning.

But to be able to go to Zhongnan Mountain in Chang'an, it must be after their trip down the mountain.

Going down the mountain... Jiang Shaoyan raised her eyes, looked at the misty clouds, and from time to time, one or two cranes flew out of the mountains, her eyebrows and eyes slightly lowered.

The two of them had seen the topography of Jiulongling before going up the mountain, and they knew where the seven Taoist temples were located.

The Taoist temples on Jiulongling were first named after the seven stars of the Big Dipper, namely: Tianshu Temple, Tianxuan Temple, Tianji Temple, Tianquan Temple, Yuheng Temple, Kaiyang Temple and Yaoguang Temple.

But now on Jiulongling, apart from the four temples of Tianshu Temple, Tianxuan Temple, Tianji Temple and Tianquan Temple, the remaining three temples of Yuheng, Kaiyang and Yaoguang have changed their names.

Wang Lu, the cousin of the grocery store owner Wang Hu who was discovered because of Muyi and Xizi's master and servant, was a Taoist priest in the Ruiyuan Temple that was changed by Yuheng Temple.

However, what they visited here was not the Ruiyuan View, but the Tianquan View.

This was prepared before the two of them went up the mountain.

"I heard that the relationship between the Taoist temples on Jiulongling is very good. If you act rashly, it is very likely that the Taoist temples will join forces to fight the enemy..." Jiang Shaoyan chose Tianquan Temple before coming, "If you choose a dwarf among the tall ones , I feel elected Tianquan view."

Taoist Priest Ziguang, the current master of Tianquan Temple, has the worst reputation among several masters.He was originally a merchant, and then he went up to the mountain to become a monk and became a Taoist priest.I heard that he paid the most attention to external things when he was practicing in Qing Dynasty. After the previous old temple master passed away, this person was not in the round of Taoist Ziguang, but the one who was selected by the old temple master with a lot of "wisdom roots" was in the end. When the old temple master was buried in the ground and came back, he encountered a poisonous snake and was bitten. When he was sent back to Tianquan temple, he had already "died" with the old temple master.

In one day, two temple masters were sent away consecutively. Tianquan Temple faintly looked at the leaderless group of Taoists. At this time, this Ziguang Taoist stood up and said that it was God's will to send away two temple masters in a row in one day. , God's will cannot be violated.They are to obey the will of God.

So this Ziguang Taoist thought of a good idea to find a successor temple master - draw lots!The euphemistic name is to let God's will decide the next temple master.

Then, under the Manifest Law of Heaven, Taoist Ziguang successfully became the next temple master.

Less than an hour after sending off the previous temple master, the new Tianquan temple master Ziguang Taoist has already sat on the throne of the temple master.This decision was so quick that people were really caught off guard. Even if they complained about the other Liuguan who had a good relationship with the old temple master during his lifetime, it still couldn't change the fact.

"As for whether it was a coincidence that the established temple master who followed the old temple master 'Xian Qu' was bitten by a poisonous snake... The Taoist priests of the Tianquan Temple have no objections, and the Taoist temples beside them can't say anything even if they are dissatisfied. "Ji Chongyan talked with Jiang Shaoyan about the "old things" about the Tianquan Temple they were about to go to.

An established temple owner was suddenly bitten to death by a poisonous snake, and no one in the audience had any objections... Jiang Shaoyan was silent, and said: "That established temple owner is not very popular!"

"There is a reason why he won the heart of the old temple master but not the young Taoist priests." Ji Chongyan glanced at her and said, "The established temple master is very talented, and this old temple master is very good at training. Swordsmanship, the master's swordsmanship is also quite powerful. It's just..."

"It's just that the prosperous age is peaceful, and the generation of Jiangnan Dao is stable, and swordsmanship and so on can't be seen to be of any use for the time being." Jiang Shaoyan continued, thoughtfully, "It's the key to one's mouth in life."

Ji Chongyan let out a "huh" and said: "The old master of the temple is obsessed with swordsmanship and martial arts, and he is not very enthusiastic about foreign objects. The Taoist priests of the Tianquan Temple have no choice but to be less enthusiastic about foreign objects."

It is "have to", not willingly.

After all, you haven't cultivated to a certain level yet, you are still an ordinary person, and you always need food and clothing.

"At that time, Tianquan Temple was short of life, and often went to the other Liuguan to borrow food. Although Liuguan also borrowed, but this is clearly a 'borrow', but in fact it is a 'gift' ration. Everyone knows it well. I will not give any good rations."

"I heard that these little Taoist priests ate a lot of rice porridge mixed with stones, and they were already dissatisfied. It's just that the old temple master didn't dare to attack because of his ability."

"As for the established temple master who followed the old temple master, whether it was a coincidence or bad luck, everyone is willing to pretend to be confused, after all, no one wants to eat rice porridge mixed with stones."

"Taoist Priest Ziguang was born as a merchant, and making money is his old profession, and he is indeed capable. It has only been half a year since he became the master of the temple, and the Tianquan Temple has been renovated, and the little Taoist priests don't need to eat anything. Shizi's rice porridge is gone, and even the patched Taoist robes can be replaced with new ones."

"In this way, everyone is more satisfied with Taoist Ziguang." Ji Chongyan paused here, and looked at Jiang Shaoyan, the two of them pursed their lips and smiled, "I am also satisfied."

If it weren't for this, they would not have had such a fair and honest opportunity to go up the mountain.

Taoist temples can't help making money by selling consecration charms or something: But there are seven Taoist temples on Jiulongling, why don't you go to another Taoist temple and come to your Tianquan temple?
There is a reason for this, of course.

"Tianquan Temple opened its doors to serve wealthy businessmen." Ji Chongyan said, "The two of us went up the mountain because we spent money."

As long as he is willing to spend money, as long as it is not something that clearly tramples on the concept of heavenly power, Taoist Ziguang is willing to do it.

"It can be said that Taoist Priest Ziguang can be regarded as an out-and-out villain in a certain respect," Jiang Shaoyan continued, "but as far as we are concerned, the villain is naturally better at this time."

The shadow of Tianquan Temple can already be seen not far ahead.

"It's not just a villain, it's better. Priest Ziguang is not the established temple master selected by the old temple master, which means there are many things that Taoist Ziguang doesn't know." Ji Chongyan suppressed his voice, and saw the person waiting at the gate of Tianquan Temple The two Taoist priests raised their hands and waved at them, chuckled lightly, and raised their hands to respond to them.

The two Taoist priests were overjoyed when they saw this, and trotted towards this side, and said as they ran, "It's Mr. Ji Tong..."

Before they finished speaking, when they saw Jiang Shaoyan beside Ji Chongyan, the two of them fell silent in unison, looking dumbfounded.

This appearance... Jiang Shaoyan was taken aback for a moment, and took advantage of the situation to look at the two little Taoist priests in front of her, and saw that they were wearing brand-new and exquisite Taoist robes, and there was a white jade with a Taiji fish pattern on the belt around their waists. From the looks of it, this Ziguang Taoist priest is not a solitary eater, he can be described as a model of prosperity with "Comprehensive View".

But with such a frightened look... Jiang Shaoyan glanced suspiciously at Ji Chongyan who was aside: he was the one who contacted Taoist Priest Ziguang of Tianquan Temple, and I don't know what he said to these Taoist priests.

Just as he was suspicious, one of the little Taoist priests had come to his senses, and quickly stretched out his hand to pat the senior brother who was still stupid in place, coughed, and immediately said: "It's Mr. Ji... Mrs. Tong!"

Although when she saw the expressions of these two little Taoist priests, she had already vaguely guessed that Ji Chongyan arranged a jaw-dropping relationship for the relationship between the two of them, but she guessed that the identity Ji Chongyan arranged for her was his. sisters.In this case, it is natural for the two little Taoist priests to be shocked when they see such a "disparate" sibling.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be... Jiang Shaoyan thought: No wonder the two little Taoist priests are so frightened!

Thinking like this, Jiang Shaoyan couldn't help but glance at Ji Chongyan who was at the side, but saw that he just coughed lightly, then stepped forward to support her, and said, "Lady, let's go in!"

With a steady tone and a calm expression, it seems that he accepts this identity well and is very calm, provided that his red earlobes that are about to bleed are ignored.

Jiang Shaoyan: "..."

She moved her lips, just about to respond, but before the word "husband" came out of her mouth, the two little Taoist priests quickly and enthusiastically stretched out their hands to take their packages, and then... ...From Ji Chongyan's side to her side, they began to introduce their concept of heavenly rights.

"Ma'am, our Tianquan Temple has been around for a hundred years, and it is a well-known century-old temple. To be honest, Jiulongling is actually the best place for us to view Fengshui. It is backed by mountains and has waterfalls beside it. The spring water, shaped like a vase, can be said to be the best geomantic omen in Taoism..."

Obviously it was Ji Chongyan who greeted her before, but the two little Taoist priests suddenly changed their temper and seemed to be extremely enthusiastic towards her... Jiang Shaoyan nodded and responded twice while listening, and glanced at Ji Chongyan who was listening carefully with a smile.

This change... is not surprising.

On the streets of today's world, if you see a couple walking together, the woman is particularly beautiful, and if the man's appearance is a little less attractive, people will always guess how powerful and powerful this man is.

This reasoning makes sense for her and Ji Chongyan now.

Looking at the enthusiasm of the little Taoist priests, Jiang Shaoyan thought to herself that in their eyes, she reckoned that she was such a powerful bully, and Ji Chongyan on the side was the "poor son" she had snatched by means.

However, for the matter of robbing the prince of An Guogong, it is estimated that after searching the entire Zhou Dynasty, there is no woman with such power who can rob Ji Chongyan by force.

Although he knew that the couple in front of him guessed that the woman was the one who made up his mind, but the man was the one who couldn't speak.But during the interval of welcoming customers, the two little Taoist priests couldn't help but glance at the man beside him.

Such a beautiful and unique appearance is really charming, no wonder he was caught by such a powerful female bully.But after all, he is a man, although he eats based on his appearance, he is still ashamed after all, his ears are red when he looks at it.

The two little Taoist priests couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: Such a talent, it's a pity that the pearl is covered with dust!But it's just emotion, after all, this Mr. Ji can still eat by his looks, but they don't even have looks!

Most of the people in this world are ordinary people, it would be nice to have the same looks and skills, but most of them have neither!Mr. Ji ate the fat lady's soft food based on his looks, and they couldn't eat it if they wanted to!

Enthusiastically introduced all the way into the door.

"The spring water next to our Tianquan Temple is said to have been enlightened by the fairy, and it is very effective. The little boy Goudan in Aunt Yang's house at the foot of the mountain had a high fever a few days ago, and the fever did not go away. It was boiled with our spring water. The medicine, two doses of medicine, it will be fine soon!"

Jiang Shaoyan kept nodding while listening.

"Our Taoist temple also sells longevity talismans. Burning them with water and eating them can prolong your life!" The little Taoist priests enthusiastically sold the talismans in the temple.

Jiang Shaoyan nodded again, but she didn't seem to be moved.

Seeing this, the two little Taoist priests looked at each other, and shook their heads invisibly: Although this fat lady is rich and powerful, she is really stingy, but fortunately, this time, Young Master Ji wrote some things in the letter when he first asked. .

So the two paused for a moment, and then said: "Mrs. Ji, we still have child-seeking talismans in our temple. A few years ago, the beautiful concubine of Mr. Huang in the city came to us and bought a child-seeking talisman when she was pregnant. The boy who came out really looks like a concubine, but his mind is like Master Huang, he is really handsome and smart!"

Jiang Shaoyan was already stunned the moment the two of them uttered the "child-seeking talisman": originally thought that the "Mrs. Ji" was the biggest shock of the day, but an even bigger shock was yet to come.

The two little Taoist priests naturally noticed Jiang Shaoyan's froze movement, but they didn't take it seriously. Instead, they stopped immediately and started talking in harmony.

"Mr. Huang gave birth to a godlike immortal, but his face hit the ground first, but he is extremely powerful. Although the concubine is beautiful, she is brainless. It is impossible to say such things as giving birth to a child." , if you don’t buy our child-seeking talisman, and the child born looks like Master Huang, and his brain is like a concubine, wouldn’t it be a disaster?”

Jiang Shaoyan: "..."

Actually... so reasonable?Even she couldn't find anything to refute for a moment.

"Fortunately, I bought our child-seeking talisman. This child looks like that concubine, but his brain is like Master Huang." A little Taoist said, glanced at Jiang Shaoyan's belly, and said with a smile, "Master Ji is so heavenly." The unique appearance of the underground..."

These two little Taoist priests said so many things today, and this is the only sentence she, Jiang Shaoyan agrees with.

"If the young master and young miss in the future look like Young Master Ji, then their appearance will definitely be unique in heaven and earth..."

In just two sentences, the little Taoist already has three "unique" people in his mouth: Ji Gongzi, Xiao Gongzi and Xiao Miss.

Jiang Shaoyan twitched the corners of her mouth, and heard the little Taoist priest continue: "Of course Mrs. Ji is also extremely round and beautiful..."

What an "extremely round beauty"!It's the first time I've heard such a compliment.

The little Taoist continued to look at Yinzi's face and opened his eyes to talk nonsense: "Intellect is great. If the young master and young lady follow your ingenuity in the future, I don't know what kind of a romantic person he will be with the appearance of Ji Gongzi." !"

Jiang Shaoyan who gave birth to an "extremely mellow beauty": "..."

If these little Taoist priests want to return to the vulgar one day, she thinks that she can introduce Fang Zhihui to her shop to solicit customers.

Ji Chongyan on the side looked at Jiang Shaoyan softly, and said: "My wife is not only resourceful, but also extremely beautiful. I will love her very much if I follow my wife."

Originally thought that under the leadership of senior brother Ziguang, they had already developed a superb ability of "talking nonsense when talking to people", but they didn't expect it. Compared with this young master Ji, they still feel ashamed.

It's no wonder that people can eat soft food based on their looks.

The little Taoist priests took a deep breath and responded with a smile: "Yes! It must be very good to be beautiful and rich."

A group of people chatted while walking, smiling and walking across the square of Tianquan Temple to Zhengguan.

Since Taoist Ziguang took over the Tianquan Temple, the Tianquan Temple has "entered the world". There are countless local gentry who have come to live on the mountain for a while.

The buildings built there are no different from the Taoist temples in the city, and even the style of the talisman bag containing the "talisman paper" has been refurbished to keep up with the latest styles, which is indeed very world-class.

For two little Taoist priests to come out to greet them, Ji Chongyan must have paid a lot of money when he booked a short stay in the "Xianjiafudi" at the beginning.Although Jiang Shaoyan had already guessed this point, when she stepped into the Tianquan Temple and saw a group of Tianquan Temple Taoist priests standing side by side under the leadership of Ziguang Taoist priest, Jiang Shaoyan was still taken aback.

After all, he is the master of the temple, and his ability to cultivate himself is much better than the two little Taoist priests who greeted him.

Priest Ziguang was stunned for a moment, then put on a kind smile, bowed and bowed with a smile: "Mrs. Ji, Young Master Ji!"

This sound reminded the "brothers" who looked stupid behind them, and the Taoist priests behind hurriedly bowed and called people.

With the wife in front and the young master in the back, it seems that Ji Chongyan is a soft eater.

After bowing, Ziguang Taoist stepped forward to take over from the two young Taoist priests, and personally took Mrs. Ji and Young Master Ji, who had "worked up the mountain", to the arranged residence.

Of course, the concept of heaven and power of "entering the WTO" will not arrange any "born poor" houses for the gentry and wealthy households. A bed for people to rest on.

Seeing that the back room has specially prepared a chaise longue for one person to rest in addition to the bed, Jiang Shaoyan is very satisfied: I have to act urgently, and I have to stay on the mountain for a while, so it is not good to always sleep on the floor...

Just as he was thinking like this, Taoist Priest Ziguang who noticed Jiang Shaoyan looking at the bed spoke.

As expected of the temple master, Jiang Shaoyan was stunned as soon as he opened his mouth, he passed the first two guiding Taoist priests.

"Although the wing room is hung with a 'light-shielding talisman', it will not disturb the gods and Buddhas of the four directions. But the lady is now two months pregnant, so don't share the bed with the son..."

Jiang Shaoyan was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but look at Ji Chongyan in astonishment: She wondered how the two little Taoist priests pushed the "child-seeking talisman" inexplicably, but it turned out to be...

Ji Chongyan, whose ears were red, supported Jiang Shaoyan's hand and patted it lightly, and acted urgently: they, a man and a woman, always wanted to find a reason to go up the mountain.

The reason he was looking for was to accompany his wife who was two months pregnant to ask for a safe and smooth delivery.
