Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 969: Journey to Qingcheng
Wang Zhan really didn't expect to meet his master here. Although Master Yun reminded him, he still thought that Master Yun was talking about Taoist Wang.

Wang Zhan was a little excited and wanted to kneel down to worship his master. Qi Dasheng quickly stopped Wang Zhan and whispered, "No, don't try to deceive me. I am guilty now. Didn't you see that I am carrying water? You may not know that Wang Laodao's master is on the mountain. He heard about you and was very angry. That's why he punished me. By the way, I also want to say sorry, Wang Zhan, I didn't teach you well. You were deceived by me and Wang Laodao."

After Wang Zhan heard this, he was confused. What did this mean? But Qi Dasheng didn't give Wang Zhan a chance to ask questions. He said, "Let's go. Master Wen has already determined that you will go up the mountain in the next one or two days, so he put me at the gate of the mountain. I will take you up."

"Master, that's not right. Aren't you a Buddhist? How can you be bound by Taoism?" Wang Zhan asked in confusion.

Qi Dasheng said frustratedly, "Don't mention it. I originally went back to Shaodang Mountain, but unfortunately there were some problems there and a working group moved in. I went there to store the fish meat that was sent to the sticky board, so I found Taoist Wang for refuge. I didn't expect the master to come back and know everything. He gave me a beating. I have become a handyman and can't even run away."

Wang Zhan was shocked. How powerful must this ancestor be? He could only tie with his master even with all his strength in boxing and kicking, but this man could beat his master so well. He must be no ordinary person.

After that, Wang Zhan stopped asking questions. Instead, Wang Li started chattering with Qi Dasheng, and what they talked about most was the magic of Qingcheng Mountain.

Along the way, every flower, grass, tree, mountain, and even the bluestone road, reveal the sedimentation of history, making people solemn and yearning.

Three people strolled on the bluestone road, moving forward slowly, enjoying a different scene with every step, all the way in silence.

After walking for about two hours, Wang Zhan found that his sister was not tired at all and was able to keep up with the pace of Master Qi Dasheng. Wang Zhan felt that they had reached the top of the mountain.

An imposing bluestone brick wall and a wooden gate. The wooden structure is already showing cracks, showing the years of wind, frost, snow and rain they have experienced. The gate is not big, just over two meters, and there is a very simple plaque on the top, with three clear large characters "Wulianguan" engraved on it.

The gate was open, and the three of them walked in directly. As soon as they entered, they saw a hall more than three meters high with nine doors. The door in the middle was open. Qi Dasheng said, "This is the Sanqing Hall, where the Sanqing ancestors are enshrined. Go and burn some incense, and I will take you to the back hall."

Wang Zhan used Taoist etiquette, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times respectfully, and offered incense. Wang Li didn't understand all this, so she just did whatever her brother did. After leaving the main hall, Qi Dasheng took Wang Zhan and his sister, turned right, walked through a moon gate and arrived at the central courtyard. The central courtyard was where Taoists did their homework and meditated, but when they got there, there was no one in all the rooms, and it was so quiet that it was a little scary.

Qi Dasheng didn't explain and took them directly to the backyard. As soon as they entered the backyard, Wang Zhan saw Taoist Wang standing at the door of the east house, looking at them with a smile.

Wang Zhan was shocked. Could it be that Taoist Wang had known that we were coming here today? From the time he met Qi Dasheng at the mountain gate to the time he walked to the backyard, he hadn't seen anyone except Qi Dasheng. Could it be that Taoist Wang had already broken through to the level of foresight?

Taoist Wang looked at Wang Zhan, as if he had guessed what Wang Zhan was thinking, and said, "My dear disciple, don't guess blindly. I don't have that ability yet. It was the master who said you had arrived and asked me to wait for you here. Okay, Hua Heshang, you can stay here. The master wants to see Wang Zhan and his sister alone."

Qi Dasheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "I didn't beat you enough. I'll beat you again when I have the chance." After that, he turned around and left.

Taoist Wang was not angry either, and said to Wang Zhan: "I know you have many complaints against me, but I can't help it. Forget it, I won't explain. The Grand Master wants to see you, so please come with me."

After saying that, Taoist Wang walked towards a small door at the back. Wang Zhan was also curious about who this ancestor was, so he followed with his sister. After passing through the back door of the Taoist temple, there was another road going up the mountain, but this time there was no bluestone slab, just a sloped road with pine forests on both sides.

The three of them didn't say anything, just walked in silence. After about thirty minutes, Wang Zhan saw a house in front of them. It was an ordinary house, but it was built on the top of the mountain, so it didn't look so ordinary.

The house was not big, just an ordinary three-sided courtyard in the countryside, and the gate was open. Taoist Wang did not walk in ostentatiously like Master Qi Dasheng did. He knocked on the door three times and said, "Grandmaster, the brother and sister are here."

"Come in!" a call came from inside.

Wang Zhan and his sister followed Taoist Wang in. At this time, a tall old man with an immortal look walked out of the main room. He had white hair in a traditional Taoist bun, and a long white strand of hair that flowed to his chest. He had a kind face.

The man first said to Taoist Wang: "Okay, there is nothing for you to do here, just go and do your thing."

Taoist Wang bowed and turned to walk out, but Wang Zhan saw that Taoist Wang glanced at him with a look full of envy.

The older Taoist priest said, "My name is Wenxuan, and I am the 43rd head of Wuliang Temple. You and I are destined to be together, not because of Wang Xuanyi, but because of Qi Dasheng. As for why, I will tell you later. Come in and sit down."

Wang Zhan was not afraid. He took Wang Li and followed the Taoist priest into the main room. There was a couch with a bamboo cushion on it in the main room. The Taoist priest sat on it cross-legged.

Wang Zhan looked around and found that there was no place for him to sit in the room, but he was not upset. He just stood aside with his hands hanging down and his sister.

The Taoist nodded and said, "Since you are here, you want to meet Wang Xuanyi. I used all his money, so I owe you a favor. You know, the history of Taoism is very mysterious and very long. So, I will give you an opportunity. It depends on you. But I can honestly tell you that no one has obtained this opportunity in the past five thousand years. This opportunity is said to be left by our ancestor "Zhe", but no one has witnessed it. I don't know whether it is true or false. There is a snow mountain not far behind my house. It is said that the opportunity is there. Do you want to try it?"

Wang Zhan was silent again. He had no feelings for this Taoist priest, nor for Wang Xuanyi, Taoist priest Wang. If he had any deeper feelings, it would be Qi Dasheng. He did not come here to accuse someone of an offense, but mainly wanted to know where his path to martial arts training was. However, when he learned that Taoist priest Wang had hidden a trick for him, he did not intend to ask any more questions.

At this time, this so-called ancestor, whom he had never seen before, threw this bait, and he didn't know whether it was true or not, but Qi Dasheng seemed to remind him when he entered the door that this person was unfathomable and seemed to know some divination. Thinking of this, Wang Zhan raised his head and said, "Master Wen, I want to try."

After Wang Zhan finished speaking, he turned around and asked Wang Li, "Do you want to go with your brother?"

Wang Li only understood half of it, that is, they might have to climb a snowy mountain, but when her brother asked, she didn't hesitate, nodded heavily, and said, "I want to go with my brother!"
