Zhou Yan touched his chin. He knew what best friend Su was thinking.
But it's a pity that rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests, and Zhou Yan certainly won't eat it either.
The Nuannuan girl's matter has not been resolved yet. If Su Yourong shows up again, Zhou Yan doesn't think Boss Jiang will give him any mercy.
So the best way to keep a relationship stable is to have no relationship.
I definitely can't make any excessive demands now, what if best friend Su thinks too much.
"I haven't decided yet. Let's talk about it later." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
"what the hell."
Best friend Su curled her lips, obviously she was not very satisfied with Zhou Yan's answer.
In her opinion, these two conditions are a big step forward in the relationship, and Zhou Yan should seize it.
But she didn't think about it well without thinking about it. She knew that some things shouldn't be rushed.
"Then let's go hiking?" Su Yourong suggested.
Zhou Yan didn't know where Su Yourong got so much energy. Maybe he wanted to try everything after staying in the office for so long. However, after playing go-kart for almost half an hour, Zhou Yan really couldn't bear to go hiking again. He waved his hand. : "Let's take a walk."
"OK."
Su Yourong nodded, but she suddenly noticed that there was still a little red mark on Zhou Yan's face.
Su Yourong opened her eyes, her face a little unnatural. Thinking of kissing Zhou Yan just now because she was so excited, Su Yourong's face became even more rosy. She pretended to be very casual and approached Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan didn't know why Su Yourong suddenly came over and moved.
"Don't move, I'll wipe your sweat for you." Su Yourong said softly, with an extra tissue in his hand.
Zhou Yan stopped moving and watched his best friend Su wipe his sweat delicately.
Because he was so close, Su Yourong's delicate breath gently hit Zhou Yan's face, which was a little itchy and sweet.
Such ambiguous behavior made Zhou Yan blush slightly, but Su Yourong didn't pay attention to it, and he had nothing to care about.
】
Even a little enjoyable.
It seemed even more exciting to think that the person wiping his sweat was Xiaoyi's subordinate.
Su Yourong pretended to be calm and wiped Zhou Yan's sweat, and at the same time wiped away some of the lipstick marks on Zhou Yan's face, feeling a little more relaxed.
"Okay, let's go."
Su Yourong said with a smile.
Zhou Yan nodded and walked side by side with her in the field.
Most of the grass in the wilderness is withered and yellow, and there are fences. This is where the small-scale farming and herdsmen in the valley live.
Later, most of them were developed into tourist attractions, such as paragliders, trampolines, wooden amusement parks, etc., but they lost some of the original ecological flavor.
Soon the two people came to the entrance to the mountain, which was connected to the chain bridge. There were not many tourists now, and there were not many people on the chain bridge, which avoided crowding.
Su Yourong stood on the chain bridge, putting his hands on the rope and looking at the scenery in the distance.
The gentle breeze blew her long and silky hair, making her gaze even more profound and charming. Especially the white ribbon tied around her waist, fluttering in the wind, gave her a more intellectual and elegant flavor.
If he were with Xiaoyi, the brilliance of best friend Su would be overshadowed. Now going out to play alone with best friend Su made Zhou Yan feel like all the stars he saw were you.
Sure enough, a man's attention will only be attracted by a woman.
Other than that, there is nothing else to focus on.
"It's not interesting to just climb the mountain. How about we go to an interesting place." Zhou Yan said softly next to Su Yourong.
"Where is it?" Best friend Su tilted her head, showing curiosity.
"Go to the Taoist Temple and have a look." Zhou Yan said.
Su Yourong was stunned for a moment: "Is there a Taoist temple in this place? I've never heard of it."
"It must be there, but it's not usually open to the public. I found it by mistake before." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
This is the benefit of being here once. You know what places are fun and whether there are any hidden scenic spots.
Best friend Su raised another question: "Then if we go there, will it disturb others' Qing Dynasty? After all, it is not open to the public."
"It's okay, everyone who finds that place is destined to be there." Zhou Yan said.
"Then go and have a look."
Su Yourong said excitedly.
Compared with climbing mountains, it is more interesting to explore such hidden attractions.
And it seems that Taoist temples can also be used to seek marriage.
As long as the incense money is enough...well...
Su Yourong was suddenly interested in Zhou Yan and asked Zhou Yan to take her there.
Zhou Yan then took Su Yourong directly towards the road that was originally the exit. Su Yourong knew that this was the road to the Taoist temple that Zhou Yan said, so he followed her obediently.
Only at the back,
Su Yourong watched Zhou Yan push aside a piece of bamboo beside the road to reveal the path, and couldn't help but ask, "Zhou Yan, do we want to go up like this?"
"Well, there's no other way."
Zhou Yanxin said that there was actually something else, but he didn't know clearly. It was the young Taoist priest who sent him and Xiaoli down from here.
As for the way up, I have long forgotten.
Su Yourong looked at her sneakers and then at the muddy path, feeling a little reluctant.
But Zhou Yan had already stepped forward and at the same time stretched out his hand to Su Yourong: "Come up, it's not good to be seen by others."
"good."
Su Yourong took Zhou Yan's hand. The feeling of being held was very special, but I couldn't tell how special it was.
After that, she didn't care whether she stepped on the mud or not. Zhou Yan pulled her and stepped on the stone path.
Zhou Yan plucked the bamboo casually, and it quickly returned to its original state. Su Yourong also knew what it meant to have a different world.
This is a path that extends straight up. It is covered by a sea of bamboo, and there are clouds and mist above, making it difficult to see clearly. Anyway, Su Yourong felt that it would take a lot of effort to get to the end.
But this is much more interesting than normal mountain climbing. After all, normal mountain climbing is to climb to the top of the mountain and then come down. At most, you can stand on a high place and overlook the scenery. In addition, Su Yourong has been here several times, such a novel 'adventure' On the contrary, it made her more eager to look up and see what happened.
Zhou Yan held Su Yourong's hand and didn't let go after that, as if both of them had forgotten about it.
Best friend Su's hand was very smooth, with a soft and cold touch after grabbing it. Zhou Yan held her hand and walked on the forest path, listening to the chirping of cicadas and the sound of pine trees, he felt that his whole soul had calmed down. .
Taoism has been passed down to this day and we do not talk about metaphysics such as luck, but Feng Shui is also very particular.
Feng shui cannot be seen or touched, but the feeling brought by the surrounding environment is real.
At least in Zhou Yan's opinion, the location of this Taoist temple is very particular, with winding paths leading to secluded areas and a Zen room with deep flowers and trees.
And those Taoist priests do not value Taoist temples in general.
Later, Zhou Yan saw a piece of news saying that a Taoist priest had returned from his travels. As a result, the Taoist temple was converted into a Buddhist temple and became a tourist attraction. He was so angry that he cursed his mother.
However, it is impractical for this kind of Taoist temple hidden in the mountains to be transformed into a tourist attraction because it requires a lot of walking.
It can only be said that the old Taoist was very good at selecting locations.
This time I came here, firstly, to look for traces of my past life, and secondly, Chouzhou is also a Taoist heritage. It’s nice to come and have a look at this Taoist temple, and to talk to Chowzhou about the interesting things here when I go back.
The stone steps are twists and turns, and there are many, but the road is not too steep, so it doesn’t take much effort to climb up.
Su Yourong was led by Zhou Yan, which was a little unnatural at first, but she got used to it later, and being led like this made her feel quite safe, but the path was winding and winding, and she didn't know where it was leading. , Su Yourong couldn't help but ask, "How long does it take for Zhou Yan to arrive?"
If it were not for Zhou Yan, Su Yourong would have felt that she had been abducted by anyone else.
When Zhou Yan heard Su Yourong's words, he wondered where he was now. He thought for a while and said, "Let's walk for another ten minutes."
According to his estimate, half of the distance has not been covered yet, so ten minutes is a conservative time.
When Su Yourong heard Zhou Yan say that there were still ten minutes, she almost fell to the ground unsteadily. She put one hand on her waist and said angrily, "I'm not as good at cheating on my best friend as you are."
"It's all mountain climbing anyway, it doesn't matter where you climb." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
"I can't climb anymore!"
Best friend Su rolled her eyes at Zhou Yan: "Let my aunt take a rest."
"Then sit down for a while."
Zhou Yan let go of his hand and sat on the stone steps indifferently.
Su Yourong bulged her mouth, but in the end she did not sit down like Zhou Yan. Instead, she held the bamboo with one hand and wiped the sweat from her forehead with the other.
She looked at the endless stone steps leading deep into the forest and rolled her eyes.
This scene happened to be seen by Zhou Yan, and I have to say that, coupled with the action of puffing out her mouth, best friend Su looked extremely cute at this time.
It's very similar to anime, where the heroine puffs her mouth and rolls her eyes because she can't do anything to the hero.
"Where did you come from?"
There was a sound coming from the side. Zhou Yan and Su Yourong both looked in the direction of the sound. In the bamboo forest beside the path, they saw a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest carrying a long hoe with a basket hanging on the hoe. , there are some winter bamboo shoots in it.
The contrast between wearing a Taoist priest's uniform and carrying a hoe made Zhou Yan laugh.
"I came up from the trail next to the exit and wanted to come up and have a look." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
The Taoist priest looked at Zhou Yan and Su Yourong, put down his hoe and said to Zhou Yan: "Tourists are not allowed here, so just go back the way you came."
"Why can't we come in?" Su Yourong couldn't help but say.
After finally walking for so long, if you say you can't go in, you can't go in. It's not in vain.
"It's a Taoist temple up there. It's not open to the public, sorry." The Taoist priest explained patiently.
Zhou Yan said at this time: "Taoist Master, my friend and I came here specifically to visit the Taoist temple here. We hope it will be convenient."
When the Taoist priest heard Zhou Yan's words, he was silent for a moment, as if he was a little embarrassed.
"Don't worry, Taoist Master, we guarantee that everything will be safe and the cultural relics will not be destroyed." Su Yourong also assured.
The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled innocently: "There are no cultural relics here, but you are all here, and it is not appropriate to rush down. It's better to come up and take a look."
Su Yourong pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you, Taoist Priest."
"The visitor is a guest."
The Taoist priest said this, picked up the hoe and basket again, walked onto the path, turned around and said, "Little layman, come with me."
Zhou Yan noticed that there were some vegetables on the Taoist priest's basket, including vegetables, radishes and potatoes.
"Taoist Master, please help you carry the basket."
Zhou Yan came to the Taoist priest and said.
"No need." The Taoist smiled and shook his head.
"It's okay, the two of us disturbed the Taoist priest's Qingxiu and were just helping the Taoist priest to pick up things." Zhou Yan said, already taking the basket off the hoe and holding it.
"That's fine." The Taoist priest was obviously a casual person. He nodded and said nothing more.
"Let's go."
Zhou Yan held the basket in one hand and held Su Yourong's hand with the other. This time he held it very skillfully.
Su Yourong nodded and let Zhou Yan lead him to follow the Taoist priest.
This time she didn't complain. After all, there was a real Taoist priest in front of her, so she had to behave herself.
Zhou Yan didn't think it was anything.
Xiaoli and I had been here before in the previous life, but we took the road up the mountain and opened the door to welcome guests. Now I'm walking down the mountain with my best friend Su. It's not appropriate to come to someone's back door and then say I'm visiting. It would be more convenient to have a Taoist priest lead the way.
However, I had never seen this Taoist priest Zhou Yan at that time. Maybe he was the master and uncle of that young Taoist priest.
The three people walked through the paths, and Zhou Yan also asked the Taoist priest what the name of the temple was at the right time.
"Longquan Temple." The Taoist priest said the name of the Taoist temple.
Zhou Yan complimented: "What a good name."
The Taoist priest smiled and said nothing.
After walking for another seven or eight minutes, Zhou Yan finally saw the shadow of the Taoist temple in his previous life.
Hidden among the clouds and mist, it has a somewhat ethereal charm.
It is said to be a Taoist temple, but it is actually several small temples built on a mountain col connected together. Judging from the scale, it is not small.
There are also green pines around the Taoist temple. Originally, the pine trees were good when they grew to one meter high. However, the green pines around Longquan Temple have grown to the same height as the bamboos. They are obviously old and have an ancient artistic conception.
At the end of the path leading to the Taoist temple, there is a red painted wooden door, which is ajar.
"We're finally here." Su Yourong also wiped the sweat from his forehead.
It took a lot of effort to take a look at the hidden attractions here.
"It's right in front. Two laymen are following me."
The middle-aged Taoist priest said in his usual easy-going manner.
"good."
Zhou Yan also wanted to see what was different about the Taoist temple two years ago and whether the Taoist priest who graduated from Peking University was still there.
Holding Su Yourong's hand, he followed the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest placed the hoe beside the door and pushed open the ajar redwood door. Zhou Yan strolled in with Su Yourong.
This is the backyard.
There is a relatively large incense burner in the courtyard, but no incense is burned.
Different from the outside of Longquan Temple, Zhou Yan could smell the scent of sandalwood as soon as he entered Longquan Temple.
Youyou fell into trance.
Su Yourong was obviously attracted by the scenery in the Taoist temple. This was her first time visiting a Taoist temple in the mountains, and she was full of curiosity about everything.
The ancient charm here also deeply attracted her to stop.
"Have you two monks had lunch?" the middle-aged Taoist priest asked after taking the basket full of vegetables from Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan wanted to say that he had not eaten, but Su Yourong answered first and said with a smile: "I have eaten, Taoist Master, but I am still a little hungry."
The Taoist shook his head and laughed, and said: "There is only vegetarian food here."
"Sorry to trouble you, Chief." Su Yourong said with a smile.
The Taoist priest nodded: "You two laymen can take a look around. I will come find you after you have finished your fast."
"good."
The Taoist priest left, and best friend Su snorted: "Zhou Yan, didn't you say you were here before? You were almost driven away by the Taoist priest."
Zhou Yan laughed and explained: "I just took a look outside."
Su Yourong rolled her eyes at Zhou Yan: "That's so unreliable!"
"Okay, this Taoist temple is very big. Let's go and have a look. This is not something ordinary tourists can come in." Zhou Yan skillfully changed the subject.
"I don't care about it for now, I'm still looking forward to the fast food here."
Su Yourong seemed to have forgotten the time when he feasted on roasted whole lamb, and now he had awakened his foodie nature again, and said with great anticipation.
Zhou Yan smiled. To be honest, he was also greedy. Xiaoli and I had eaten the food here before, and it was really good.
"Zhou Yan, tell me, is there only the Taoist priest here? Wouldn't it be too deserted for one person to guard such a large Taoist temple?" Su Yourong couldn't help but ask as he walked around the yard.
"There must be others."
Zhou Yan remembered that there was a place dedicated to carving jade, which was also a Taoist product. It was not sold to tourists, but was exchanged among the Taoist inner circle. At that time, he and Xiaoli were lucky enough to each get a finished jade pendant with engraved characters. It was just a friendly gift from the Taoist priest. Later, Zhou Yan put this jade pendant together where the club's gifts were stored.
"There seems to be a sound over there." Su Yourong discovered something, lay down in front of the stone window, and said to Zhou Yan in a 'sneaky' voice.
Seeing best friend Su like this, Zhou Yan was also a little amused: "Then go over there and have a look."
"Yeah."
Su Yourong was obviously a little curious. At this time, he took the initiative to hold Zhou Yan's hand and walked through the courtyard gate.
Soon, after passing a bamboo forest, the two also heard a sound.
"I have learned all about medicine, fortune-telling, fortune-telling, fortune-telling, divination, and Taoism, but I can't understand it, and I can't understand it..."
