At the foot of Diancui Mountain, parked was a magnificent two-wheel carriage.
Looking at the decoration of the carriage, you can tell that the owner has an extraordinary status.
The carriage stopped, and the person inside lifted the curtain, revealing a square but resolute face.
The man strode out of the carriage, stood there, straightened his clothes, and said, "Is this right here?"
The boy who followed him responded: "Yes, sir, Xiyun Temple is on Diancui Mountain, and Master Huijue from Piyin Temple also went up the mountain today, and is now with Taoist Priest Yu Xuanzi."
"That's a coincidence." Zhuo Yan nodded, lifted up his clothes, and walked towards the top of the mountain.
He has almost finished his official duties during this trip and will return to Beijing soon.
But before returning to the capital, I also want to meet Taoist Priest Yuxuanzi and Master Huijue, who are rumored to have profound Taoism.
because……
There are not many pilgrims on Diancui Mountain in winter, and there is still snow on the road.
Achang ran ahead, helping Zhuo Yan clear the obstacles on the roadside.
"No need to bother." Zhuo Yan waved his hand and asked, "Do you remember that little girl from the Su family said that I..."
As soon as he heard about the little girl, Achang angrily interjected: "How can you trust what a baby says! Besides, Sir, have you ever killed anyone? You are a civil servant!"
"..." Zhuo Yan looked at the indignant young man and said nothing.
The last two times he met the little girl from the Su family made him feel very uncomfortable.
It's not that this girl is unlovable, it's just that the words this little bun said every time he saw her, it just stabbed him in the heart.
Although he is now just a civil servant in the Inspectorate, when he was young, he was once the most capable subordinate of the current emperor, and he also handled many obscure matters for the emperor that were not brought to the table.
There is actually a lot of blood on my hands...
But these things are not known to even the people around me, let alone outsiders.
Zhuo Yan initially thought it was possible that Su Wenlin wanted to threaten him, but after thinking about it after returning, he felt that there was no need for Su Wenlin to do such a thankless thing.
Maybe that girl really has some extraordinary abilities?
The master and the servant stopped talking, and just walked towards the top of the mountain, one foot deep and one foot shallow.
The surroundings were quiet, only the faint sound of wind could be heard.
There are many small animal footprints left in the snow, which are messy.
Suddenly, a cry from Achang came from the front: "Ah! What is that!"
"What's wrong?" Zhuo Yan didn't like his surprised look very much, but after all, he was a child who had been with him since childhood. He almost regarded Achang as another son.
I ran two steps forward and stood next to Achang, only to find that there was nothing in front of him.
Zhuo Yan frowned and said displeased: "There's nothing, what are you shouting for?"
"Just now... just now, just now, I saw a black... bear... suddenly turned into a human form and ran towards the mountain!"
Achang stumbled, his lips trembling.
A bear that turns into a human?
"Are you sure you read it correctly?" Zhuo Yan asked.
"No...no, sir." Achang seemed to suddenly come back to his senses. For a moment, he suddenly remembered something and pulled Zhuo Yan to squat down, pointing to a row of footprints on the ground, and shouted: "Sir, look Ah, look!"
It was a row of footprints.
In the front row, there are animal footprints with four paws on the ground. They are very large. You can tell at a glance that they are large animals.
But then, the animal footprints suddenly turned into human paw prints...
Very big feet, probably men's feet.
These two rows of footprints were so close together, as if it was just like what Achang said, it was just a bear walking around and suddenly turned into a human...
——
By the time Yuan Bao took Xiong Qi down the mountain and met Zhuo Yan and Achang, half an hour had passed.
The master and the servant had been sitting on the snow-covered mountains for a long time.
Mainly Zhuo Yan.
He can believe that there are real demons and monsters in the world, and that a real bear can turn into a human in an instant.
But if the Taoist priest on Diancui Mountain is really superb in Taoism, why are there monsters on the mountain where his Taoist temple is located?
Zhuo Yan couldn't figure it out, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should continue going up the mountain.
"My lord, my lord!" At this moment, Achang began to scream again: "That man, oh no, that bear man, he's down again!!"
Zhuo Yan was slightly stunned, but subconsciously followed the boy's gaze towards the mountain.
They saw a tall young man walking towards their direction.
The man was very tall and wore a fur cloak, but he did look a bit foolish.
But for such a living person, if you really said that he was a bear, Zhuo Yan still couldn't believe it.
The "bear man" walked towards them step by step. Achang was so frightened that he almost died. However, seeing that his master did not move a step, he could not throw him away. He gritted his teeth and stopped in front of Zhuo Yan. He stood upright and righteously. See "Bear Man".
Quite a bit like, if you touch my elders, you will step over my body.
Zhuo Yan was a little moved. He raised his hand and patted Achang on the shoulder, telling him not to be afraid.
"He meant no harm."
Although the "bear man" is tall, his eyes are clear and stupid, and even looking at them reveals a bit of fear and a little bit of curiosity.
This doesn't look like a monster that can eat them.
"Uncle, it's you? Are you here to see me Liger? Do you believe what I say! I told you a long time ago, how could Yuan Bao get it wrong?!"
Zhuo Yan and Achang were startled by the sudden sound of a child's voice.
Immediately, the two of them looked down and discovered that there was a small beanbag-like dot beside the "bear man"'s leg.
He looked up at them with a slightly red face and said angrily: "Wouldn't it be better if I had believed in Yuan Bao earlier! Ouch!"
The way the child sighs is really cute.
But how could this little doll from the Su family appear on Diancui Mountain?
Zhuo Yan hesitated for a moment, and was about to ask why, when he heard a vague voice from the distant mountain top: "Little boy, get back here quickly! If you dare to run around again, believe it or not, this gold ingot treasure will be lost to Master." Stacked for you!!”
It was the voice of an old man, but it was full of energy.
Zhuo Yan looked around and found no one there.
I didn't see him, but I heard his voice clearly.
I heard that this kind of magic can only be found among the evil magic in the Western Regions.
He was horrified and just when he was at a loss, he saw the little boy in front of him sigh again, then he took out a piece of golden talisman paper from his sleeve, pinched it in front of them, and then He shouted to the talisman: "Don't shout, Liger, Yuan Ba will go back soon!"
After saying that, she looked at Zhuo Yan and added, "We even brought guests!"
