Siheyuan: The Idiot in Charge

Chapter 536 Nothing Found

The next night.

Jia Weidong rushed to Caodian Town in Jun County.

Caodian Town is located at the foot of Wudang Mountain, with its back against Xishan Mountain and facing Caodian River. In the past, it was a supply point for transporting vehicles, horses, food and fodder for Wudang Mountain, hence the name "Caodian".

Jia Weidong didn't know the situation in Wudang Mountain, so he didn't rush up the mountain overnight.

I had dinner at the Caodian, inquired about the situation in Wudang Mountain, and rested for a night.

the next day.

The east is slightly bright.

Today is a good day, suitable for mountain climbing.

A young man dressed like a student, wearing a white shirt and carrying a backpack, appeared at Yuanhe Temple, 8 miles away from Caodian.

He is Jia Weidong, who came to Wudang Mountain after a bumpy journey.

Wudang Mountain.

It is also known as Taihe Mountain, Xieluo Mountain, Shenshang Mountain and Xianshi Mountain. It was called "Taiyue", "Xuanyue" and "Dayue" in ancient times.

Located in Danjiangkou, Shiyan, northwest of Beihu Province.

It borders Xiangyang to the east, Shiyan to the west, Shenlongjia to the south, and Danjiangkou Reservoir to the north.

Wudang Mountain is famous for its status as the crown of the Five Mountains, with "the four famous mountains all bowing to it, and the five immortal mountains all paying homage to it."

Wudang Mountain is a famous Taoist mountain.

It is a holy place of Chinese Taoism and one of the birthplaces of Chinese Taoism.

At the same time, Wudang Mountain is also the birthplace of Wudang martial arts and is known as "the unparalleled scenic spot throughout the ages and the number one fairy mountain in the world."

Wudang martial arts, also known as Neijiaquan, is one of the important schools of Chinese martial arts.
The reason why Jia Weidong came to Wudang Mountain was because the ancient books he obtained in Changbai Mountain originated from Wudang Mountain.

Since they set out early and burning incense and worshipping were prohibited, Jia Weidong didn't see many people.

Jia Weidong did not continue along the Haohan Slope, but turned east to the site of the Yuxu Palace. After making a circle, he arrived at Huilong Temple.

The scenery along the way was quite nice, but there were few tourists and no Taoist priests were seen.

Perhaps it has something to do with the era, most Taoists have probably returned to secular life.

This made Jia Weidong no longer have any hope for this trip.

He wasn't here for sightseeing.

His practice of Hunyuan Qigong was hindered and he had lost direction in practicing martial arts, so he came here to seek a master and ask for advice.

however.

"Forget it! Now that we are here, let's take a good look around Wudang Mountain."

Keep going up the mountain!

After walking about 5 miles, we arrived at Mozhenjing.

Nothing attractive about it.

By the time we reached Laojun Hall, it was already lunch time.

There were a few small shops on the side of the road, and Jia Weidong picked one at random and walked in.

The shop owner was a vigorous old man in his sixties. Seeing that Jia Weidong did not look like a local, he asked in authentic Beihu Mandarin: "Young comrade! What would you like to order?"

"Uncle! What do you have to eat here?"

"Comrade! I have some sweet wine steamed buns here!"

"I don't want to eat steamed buns, sir! Can you make me some sweet wine steamed eggs?"

The old man said with embarrassment: "Hey! I only have two eggs left in my store."

"I have it! I have it!" Jia Weidong said as he took out four eggs from his bag.

uncle:"."

The old man took it and saw that it was raw! He couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

These days there are people climbing up with raw eggs!
In order to meet Jia Weidong's requirements, the old man took Jia Weidong's eggs and made them into sweet wine poached eggs.

While eating, Jia Weidong asked indirectly: "Uncle! If I play until night, where can I stay?"

The old man said: "After passing Nanyan Palace, there is a Taoist temple up there where you can stay."

"Master! Why do these Taoist temples look so shabby? Why are there no one maintaining them? Where have all the Taoist priests gone?"

Uncle: "They have all returned to secular life!"

"Master! Can we still find them?"

The old man looked alert and shook his head like a rattle: "I don't know, I don't know!"

"."

"."

After lunch, Jia Weidong continued to climb the mountain.

After passing Jianhe River, we went straight up the steep Eighteen Bends. The Eighteen Bends spiraled upwards, becoming steeper and steeper. It was not easy for people without mountain climbing training to climb up.

About 15 miles up from Cambridge is the Zixiao Palace, which is located deep in the jungle.

Zixiao Palace is the largest palace in Wudang Mountain.

The Zixiao Palace is surrounded by woods and is extremely quiet. When Jia Weidong is in it, he almost forgets that he is a modern man.

Then we passed Crow Ridge and arrived at Nanyan Palace.

Nanyan Palace is the steepest and most dangerous. It is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and the main hall is built on a flat area, like a peninsula extending out of the sea.

This should be the place where dragon head incense is burned in the legend.

How did Jia Weidong know?
Because there is still a sign there that says: "No burning of dragon head incense allowed."

Zixiao Palace and Nanyan Palace are the places with the best scenery in Wudang Mountain.

Every scene in between makes people's mood fluctuate.

Continue to the summit past the Seven Star Trees and Huanglong Cave.

This is another scene that makes people feel deeply moved.

There is a unique peak called Seven Star Tree, which is about sixty to seventy meters high. There are seven big trees and a small temple on it.

The clouds here are different from those on other mountains.

Looking back at Nanyan Palace from here, the view is different at every step.

From Huanglong Cave, take the winding path straight up, pass Chaotian Palace and go through Tianyi Gate.

When they reached the steepest slope in front of Ertian Gate, Jia Weidong also slowed down.

It’s not that Jia Weidong doesn’t have enough physical strength.

But there were five people in front of him, blocking his way.

There were three men and two women, all young people around 20 years old.

The five people did not dress like country people, but like progressive young people.

There was actually someone walking in front of me, and I didn't know how they got up there.

This section of the mountain is dangerous and the slopes are steep.

The stone stairs are towering!

Among them, there are 365 extremely narrow stone steps that can only be passed by one person.

The three men walked in front with difficulty.

The two girls, who were less physically fit, did not dare to walk upright on their own without anyone's help and could only half-crawl forward.

The two girls climbed up carefully and did not dare to look back, so Jia Weidong did not see their faces.

Looking from the back, she has a good figure. When she is climbing, the green pants make her buttocks look round.

Just one look at it makes people want to have wild thoughts.

Jia Weidong quickly withdrew his gaze and followed them slowly in silence.

Mountain climbing is also a high-risk sport.

There were only a few stone steps left to the Second Heavenly Gate. Seeing victory in sight, the last girl straightened up.

You must be tired after bending over for such a long time.

At this moment, the girl slipped for some reason.

The accident happened!
"oops!."

The girl lost her balance and was about to fall backwards.

After she let out a scream, she waved her arms in the air, trying to save herself, but it was useless and her body fell down anyway.

The situation is very dangerous!

"Be careful!" At the critical moment, Jia Weidong uttered a warning and rushed forward quickly.

Just when the girl was in despair and helplessness, a pair of warm hands supported her shaky body from behind and pushed her forward.

After the doubtful girl stood up, she turned her head and looked at Jia Weidong and thanked him: "Thank you!"

After climbing for a long time, she didn't notice anyone behind her. This person was like a god descending from the sky to save her.

What a handsome man!

At this time, Jia Weidong also saw the other person's appearance.

Her oval face is as white as jade, with willow-shaped eyebrows, a pair of narrow and long phoenix eyes that are bright and lively, a high nose bridge, and red lips and white teeth.

Well! I can give it 90 points!
"It's okay, be careful!" Jia Weidong said with a smile.

"Hmm!" The girl's face turned red, she hummed softly, turned her head and quickly went up to him.

Jia Weidong continued to follow slowly.

Pass the Ertianmen, Santianmen, Nantianmen, Huangjing Hall, and go up to the Tianzhu Golden Palace.

It is about 15 miles from Nanyan Palace to Tianzhu Golden Summit.

These 15 miles are not easy to walk.

Everyone stopped to rest.

Not bad.

Starting from Ertianmen, Jia Weidong did not walk alone, but walked with the people in front of him.

It is true that the two girls are pleasing to the eyes, but Jia Weidong is not coveting their beauty.

It's just that I don't feel lonely because I have someone to accompany me.

In such an environment, with everyone being young, we quickly became a team.

As they walked and talked, the six of them got to know each other.

The three men are Zhou Jun, Zhang Xiaohua and Li Zhidong.

One of the two girls was called Fang Qinghe, and the one who almost fell and was supported by Jia Weidong was called Gu Jingyi.

All beautiful women have nice names.

All five of them were members of the Jun County Workers' Propaganda Team.

They were sent here to do publicity work, which can be considered as a government-sponsored tour.

It was already evening when we reached the Golden Summit. The wind was howling, making it difficult for us to stand steadily. Although it was midsummer, we could still feel a slight chill.

Jia Weidong and his team had no choice but to climb the iron chains and move forward hunched over.

When the Workers' Propaganda Team arrived, there were naturally people to entertain them. Jia Weidong also benefited from this and stayed with them in the Huangjingtang Taoist Temple.

The fried eggs, vermicelli, tofu and brown rice for dinner were considered a good meal in that era.

After dinner, everyone didn't chat and just rested.

Everyone is tired.

Late at night.

Jia Weidong was like a ghost, shuttling between several relatively intact palaces in Wudang Mountain.

result.

Nothing!
He didn't find anything valuable to him, including his collection of books and ancient books.

no way.

The damage was too severe!

"well!."

After lying back on the bed, Jia Weidong sighed secretly, closed his eyes and went to sleep.

……

The next day.

early morning.

Jia Weidong got up on time.

You cannot practice Hunyuan Yi Qigong either.

I found an open space to stretch my body, and then strolled around the Taoist temple.

Gu Jingyi and the others might be tired, so they got up a little late.

As soon as she went out, she saw Jia Weidong exercising in the yard.

"Good morning! Comrade Jia Weidong!"

Gu Jingyi greeted Jia Weidong openly.

"Comrade Gu Jingyi! Good morning!" Jia Weidong responded with a smile and a nod.

Gu Jingyi asked with a smile: "Comrade Jia Weidong! Are you going to continue playing in the mountains today?"

"I don't think there's anything fun here. I plan to have breakfast and go down the mountain. What about you guys?" Jia Weidong said with a smile.

Gu Jingyi said: "We are here just to take a look and check the results of the renovation. There is actually nothing to check. We should be able to go back in the afternoon."

Hearing the word "reform", Jia Weidong seemed thoughtful.

As a member of the Workers' Propaganda Team, Gu Jingyi should know something about the whereabouts of those who were being reformed, right?

I don't know, but I can check. Maybe I can find some clues from her?

Never mind, let’s just give it a try first whether there is any result or not!

Jia Weidong made a decision quickly.

"Comrade Gu! Can I have a word with you? Can we go over there and chat for a while?" Jia Weidong said, pointing to the corner of the hall.

Gu Jingyi looked at Jia Weidong suspiciously, but she didn't refuse and nodded.

The two of them went to the corner, one after the other.

"Comrade Gu! Do you know where all the Taoists here have gone?" Jia Weidong asked straight to the point.

Gu Jingyi's face changed: "Why are you asking these monsters?
You came all the way from the capital just to find the Taoist priest here?

I tell you, Comrade Jia Weidong! You must not make any mistakes! "

Jia Weidong interrupted her immediately and said seriously, "Stop! Stop! Comrade Gu! First of all, I want to make it clear that I am passing by here on a business trip and I did not come here on purpose.

Second, I am a martial arts enthusiast. I recently had some health problems while practicing martial arts. I want to consult a martial arts teacher. I don’t want to engage in feudal superstitious activities. "

After saying that, Jia Weidong looked at Gu Jingyi sincerely again: "Comrade Jingyi! Can you help me with this?"

Gu Jingyi looked Jia Weidong up and down for a long time, a little confused.

This person looks very healthy. Doesn't it look like there is something wrong with his health?

Is it a hidden disease?
Thinking in her mind, she stared into Jia Weidong's eyes again, trying to see if he was lying again.

This stare made her lose consciousness for a moment and she almost fell into it.

After coming to her senses, she chose to believe Jia Weidong, nodded and said: "Okay! I'll help you! But it's not convenient here, you should go back to Danjiangkou first. My family lives in the staff quarters of the Danjiangkou Textile Factory. You should wait for me at the gate of the staff quarters tomorrow morning."

Jia Weidong nodded: "Okay! I'll come find you tomorrow morning."

The two returned.

After having breakfast, Jia Weidong went straight down the mountain.

After arriving at Caodian, they found a deserted place, released the jeep, and drove straight to Junxian County.

It was estimated that Gu Jingyi and others would not be able to get home until the evening. After Jia Weidong arrived in Junxian County, he found a guesthouse of the supply and marketing cooperative, showed his ID and checked in.

Considering the convenience of future travel, Jia Weidong did not put away the jeep and parked it directly in the yard of the guesthouse.

The urban area of ​​Jun County is very small.

After walking around for a while, there was nothing fun to do.

Jia Weidong went straight back to the guesthouse to rest.

Silent all night.

……

the next morning.

Jia Weidong drove a jeep to the gate of the textile factory’s staff quarters.

There are only a few jeeps in the entire Danjiangkou.

A jeep suddenly came to the family compound and soon caused a commotion.

As soon as Jia Weidong parked the car, a few naughty kids rushed out from the yard and surrounded the jeep, chattering.

It was already evening when Gu Jingyi came back last night.

After dinner, she went to bed early, but she didn't expect to get up late again today.

It’s so tiring!

Thinking that Jia Weidong would come to see her today, she ate breakfast, packed her bag, and hurried out of the yard, ready to wait at the gate.

Jia Weidong was just about to find someone to ask when he saw Gu Jingyi walking out of the yard.

What a coincidence!
After the two got in the car, Gu Jingyi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said, "I know there is a Taoist priest. I heard he is a martial arts teacher. I don't know if he can be of any use to you."

Jia Weidong was delighted and asked quickly, "Where is that person?"

Gu Jingyi: “Yes.”
