Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 970: Encounter with Mentor
Taoist Master Wen didn't waste any time and took Wang Zhan and his sister through the main hall. Wang Zhan looked and found that there was a backyard behind them. There was nothing in it, but two dogs stood up and stared at Wang Zhan with eager eyes.

"Huh!" Taoist Master Wen let out a roar, and the two dogs lay back in front of the door of their den. There was a door on the back wall, which was actually made of copper, and it was bronze with green rust. All of a sudden, Wang Zhan's heart rose to his throat. An ancient bronze door, this is an ancient thing, it is not something that has been around for hundreds of years.

Taoist Master Wen took out a key, which was of a strange shape. The head of the key was a ring, the middle was a square, and the back was a Tai Chi Pisces pattern.

Taoist Master Wen turned around and said, "Whether it can be opened or not depends on your brother and sister's luck. You can't open this door every time."

Wang Zhan and his sister, wearing tattered clothes and carrying a large sheepskin backpack, stood behind Master Wen, not saying a word, just watching quietly. They actually didn't want to have this opportunity, wouldn't it be better to just go home?

Master Wen turned around and inserted the key, and then he was stunned. He had done this action more than a dozen times because it was his responsibility and his purpose was to find the successor of Wuliang Temple.

But this time it was different. The key did not use his power and was automatically sucked into the keyhole. This was the first time in Master Wen's experience. Then, the door opened. Master Wen stepped aside, his expression returned to a calm state, and said, "Two little guys, go in. I think you will have a great opportunity this time."

Wang Zhan held his sister, feeling very confused and hesitant. Wang Zhan always felt that it would be better not to go in. Why did he always make things difficult for himself?

But at this time, Wang Li shook Wang Zhan's hand and said with a smile: "Brother, look, this is a snow mountain, right? This is the first time I have seen such a white snow mountain. Why is it different from Wolf Mountain?"

When Wang Zhan heard this, he felt that his sister was interested in going in, but when he looked at her thin coat, he hesitated again. At this time, Master Wen raised his hand, took out two fur coats from somewhere, and handed them to Wang Zhan.

Wang Zhan was very shocked. This Taoist Master Wen was indeed not a simple person. He didn't know whether this person was using a sleight of hand or something else. Another thing was that it seemed as if this Taoist Master Wen knew what he was thinking at all times.

Taoist Master Wen looked at him and said, "Don't overthink it. Many children of your age have been in here before. They all had the same concerns as you before going in. Okay, go ahead and see if your chance is here."

Wang Zhan didn't think about it anymore. He nodded, took his sister and carried a big bag, and walked in. As soon as they entered, the bronze door closed automatically.

There was nothing but white inside, with a snowy mountain in front and a path in the middle leading directly to the top of the mountain.

Wang Zhan and Wang Li looked at the snow mountain curiously, but the top of the mountain was shrouded in rain and fog, and they couldn't see what was on it. Wang Zhan turned around and said to his sister with a smile: "Put on your coats, let's go up the mountain and treat it as a trip to the snow mountain."

The two men put on their coats, and it was as if the coats were tailor-made for them. Wang Zhan once again became curious about Master Wen and felt that this man was unfathomable.

The two people started climbing the mountain. They didn't walk fast, mainly because Wang Zhan was afraid of tiring his sister out. He thought that when his sister really couldn't walk anymore, he would carry her on his back. If that still didn't work, he would just come down.

In fact, climbing the mountain is very boring. There is no scenery on both sides, just a vast expanse of white. After walking for a while, Wang Li lost interest and began to be absent-minded, yawning from time to time. Wang Zhan saw his sister's appearance and let her get on his back. After a while, Wang Zhan felt that Wang Li had fallen asleep on his back.

Wang Zhan walked up the mountain step by step. After walking for a long time, he became bored. His mind went blank and his body mechanically lifted his legs and took steps.

When they passed halfway up the mountain, Wang Zhan estimated that more than two hours had passed. Wang Zhan thought about walking for a while and then taking a rest. He didn't stop because he was afraid that he would wake up his sister. The little girl was already snoring in the back.

Perhaps it was influenced by his sister, or maybe Wang Zhan himself felt that going up the mountain was very boring. Unconsciously, he also began to walk up with his eyes closed. As he walked, Wang Zhan felt drowsy.

At this moment, Wang Zhan was tripped by something and fell forward. Wang Zhan suddenly woke up and opened his eyes. His sister on his back was also awakened.

When the brother and sister looked up, they felt something was wrong. Now they were no longer on the snowy mountain. There were flowers everywhere around them, colorful and beautiful.

Wang Li's eyes widened instantly and she shouted, "Wow, brother, where are you taking me to? Aren't we on the snowy mountain?"

Wang Zhan was also a little confused, but when he looked back, he saw a black barrier behind him. Wang Zhan walked over and touched it with his hand. The black barrier was like glass, extremely smooth, but a little cold.

The barrier extended in an arc to both sides, with no end in sight. It was also in an arc upwards. Wang Zhan then realized that the sky was also black. But it was still bright here. Wang Zhan was still looking. Wang Li patted his back and shouted, "Brother, put me down quickly. The flowers here are so beautiful. I have never seen them before."

Wang Zhan put Wang Li down, and Wang Li ran towards the sea of ​​flowers. Wang Zhan put the bag in front of him back on his back and then walked towards his sister.

Wang Zhan followed his sister and strolled in the sea of ​​flowers. Wang Li turned back from time to time and asked him what flower this was and what flower that was. Wang Zhan was embarrassed because he didn't recognize any of the flowers here. Wang Zhan didn't want to lie to his sister, so he scratched his head and said he didn't know and had never seen them.

The brother and sister walked for a while and were almost through the sea of ​​flowers. From a distance, Wang Li saw a small river running through the edge of the sea of ​​flowers with an arched bridge over it. Wang Li pointed ahead and shouted, "Brother, look, there is a house over there. Is there anyone living there?"

Wang Zhan had also seen that at the other end of the bridge, not far away, there stood a house. Nothing could be seen in the yard, but what caught his eye was a quaint wooden door with an overhanging eave. The wall was made of rubble and was about two meters high. From the outside, one could only see the roofs of a few houses, which were obviously made of wood. The house was surrounded by hills on three sides, with trees and forests on the hills, and green everywhere.

Wang Li urged her brother to hurry up. At this time, she had already stepped onto the small bridge and stood at the highest point looking around. Wang Zhan knew at a glance that his sister was still in an excited state. Wang Zhan was afraid that someone really lived here and that she would be reckless, so he quickened his pace and caught up.
