On County Road 206, a bus was driving fast. On both sides of the road, the lush trees are constantly moving backwards as if being dragged by a galloping horse. If you don't look carefully, you can only see a beautiful green shadow.
Sitting next to the window, Cao Yi appeared to be closing his eyes and recuperating like other Taoist priests, but he was actually practicing.
As a monk who has practiced many magical powers, he never has enough time.
After about twenty minutes, the bus slowed down and stopped after a while.
Xu Keming's voice rang in my ears: "Uncle Master, Maoshan has arrived."
Cao Yi stopped practicing, opened his eyes, and looked out the extremely noisy window. He saw a large parking lot.
There are many cars, mainly buses. Tourists are constantly getting out of the cars and heading towards Maoshan under the guidance of tour guides.
"Uncle Master"
Xu Keming shouted again.
Cao Yi withdrew his gaze, stood up, straightened out his wrinkled Taoist robe, and got off the bus with Xu Keming and other Taoist priests.
Dozens of Taoist priests who were rarely seen on weekdays suddenly appeared in the parking lot.
Tourists cast curious glances one after another, and many even took out their vivo phones with clear backlighting to take pictures, making crisp clicking sounds that kept ringing.
"Brothers, this way."
On a platform not far away, a handsome middle-aged Taoist priest with several young Taoist priests behind him waved.
The tourists saw this and moved out of the way, allowing only one person to pass.
Cao Yi and a group of Taoist priests walked through slowly.
“These Taoist priests are all very elegant.”
"Yes, especially the young Taoist priest in the middle. He is handsome and has a good temperament. It would be a pity to become a Taoist priest."
"Yeah, why do you want to be a Taoist priest?"
"I really want to take care of him"
…
The voices of nymphomaniac little girls kept coming from the crowd.
Cao Yi and the Taoist priests just passed through the crowd.
The middle-aged Taoist priest came up with a few young Taoist priests, and said politely: "Chang Shiqing, the deacon of Maoshan Guest Hall, has met all Taoist brothers."
Cao Yi and the Taoist priests returned the gift with their hands in hand.
Chang Shiqing saluted each one again and asked about the Taoist name and Taoist number.
Looking at the handsome and extraordinary Chang Shiqing, Cao Yi couldn't help but think of Mi He who had been a monk. I sighed in my heart, as long as I show my face these days, even monks and Taoist priests must be good-looking.
"Brother Dao, long time no see"
Chang Shiqing came over with a smile on his face.
"We only met last month. Since when have we started to talk nonsense?"
Xu Keming smiled and teased.
Obviously, the two have a good relationship.
Chang Shiqing smiled slightly, looked at Cao Yi, and asked doubtfully: "Is this a new disciple that Brother Tao has just accepted?"
"What disciple! It's my uncle Xuan Xinzi, presided over by Yuxuguan."
Xu Keming quickly corrected.
Chang Shiqing was stunned for a moment, then realized, "It turns out to be Taoist Brother Xuan Xinzi."
After saying that, he bowed his hands.
Cao Yi returned the gift.
After a few more words, Chang Shiqing led the way and the group looked at the mountain.
The vegetation along the way is fragrant and lush, and the green mountains are set off by bright yellow.
On the nine and eighteen bends, there are reed flowers swaying lightly in the wind, spring water tinkling happily amidst the noise of guests, and mist as light as gauze, rendering the entire Maoshan Mountain as beautiful as a picture scroll.
A Taoist priest who seemed to be from Baiyunguan in Shanghai suddenly asked: "Brother Taoist, I heard that something unusual happened in Maoshan recently?"
So quickly, word spread that Little Snow Monkey came to Maoshan to teach the Dharma.
Cao Yi turned his head and saw Chang Shiqing's expression tightened, and then returned to normal, "Brother Dao is really well-informed. Did you know about the Immortal Ape so soon?"
As soon as these words came out, all the Taoist priests looked at Chang Shiqing. Apparently, none of them knew about this.
Xu Keming asked directly: "What kind of immortal ape?"
Chang Shiqing hesitated for a moment and said: "More than half a month ago, an accomplished immortal ape came to my mountain in Maoshan and passed down the breathing method that can absorb the vitality of heaven and earth."
"The Immortal Ape who is successful in spiritual practice"
Xu Keming looked surprised.
All along, he thought that in the whole world, the only person with deep opportunities was Uncle Cao next to him.
The Taoist priests around him became uneasy after hearing the conversation between the two.
"What? The Immortal Ape passed down the method of breathing that can absorb the vitality of heaven and earth!"
"Such a thing can happen!"
…
"Is the Immortal Ape still in Maoshan? Can we pay a visit?"
Xu Keming said again.
He was very curious about this unmasked immortal ape.
Chang Shiqing nodded lightly, then shook his head, "Yes, but the Immortal Ape comes and goes without a trace, so it's hard to see."
Xu Keming was a little disappointed.
The other Taoist priests also looked disappointed.
Cao Yi, who had done all this, asked with a smile: "Do you, Maoshan, intend to spread this breathing method that absorbs the vitality of heaven and earth?"
As soon as these words came out, the disappointment on the faces of the Taoist priests disappeared, and they all looked at Chang Shiqing with bright eyes.
Unexpectedly, Cao Yi would ask such a sensitive question so straightforwardly. Chang Shiqing was stunned and said, "I still need to ask the Immortal Ape for instructions. After all, this method of breathing and breathing was passed down from him."
Cao Yi chuckled and didn't ask again.
Although the Taoist priests looked different, they didn't say anything.
A few minutes later, the group arrived at the Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace located at the top of Damao Peak, because there were still many people from the Taoist temple who had not arrived.
Everyone was arranged into a very clean guest house.
Cao Yi and Xu Keming were naturally arranged into a room.
"This immortal ape doesn't go anywhere, but he goes to Maoshan to teach Dharma. Does he have any friendship with the sages of Maoshan?"
Xu Keming’s Bagua fire is burning brightly.
Cao Yi didn't say a word and just focused on his own practice.
"Uncle Master, I have a vague feeling that a great age is about to come."
Xu Keming said again.
Cao Yi remained silent.
Xu Ke knew it was interesting and didn't say anything more.
Soon, a little Taoist priest brought breakfast, a bowl of rice, a plate of pickles, and a glass of water, which was very light.
Not long after breakfast, many Taoist priests arrived. They spoke with a unique Taiwanese accent. Obviously, they were from Taiwan.
At ten o'clock in the morning, a dense set of footsteps approached the guest house.
Soon, an old Taoist priest with a rosy complexion and full of aura, accompanied by Chang Shiqing and a group of Taoist priests, came to the guest house.
"All Taoist brothers have come from afar. The old Taoist was entangled in trivial matters and could not welcome you from afar. I am offended."
Obviously, this old Taoist priest is Taoist Yang Shihua, the abbot of Maoshan Taoist Temple.
The Taoist priests said some polite words in response.
Cao Yi, who was standing in the crowd, just glanced at Yang Shihua and saw that he had practiced the method of breathing and breathing, even though he was just getting started.
Yang Shihua didn't seem to like false politeness, and said directly: "The Dharma Ceremony of Huang Lu, a Chinese compatriot who overcame the victims of the Nanjing Massacre during the Anti-Japanese War, will be held in ten minutes at Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace. Please come with me."
The Taoist priests followed Yang Shihua and his entourage and walked towards Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace.
Cao Yi walked slowly behind, releasing his spiritual consciousness to cover the surrounding three to five miles, but found no trace of the little snow ape.
