The two of them couldn't hide their excitement when they heard that it was Taoist Taoist Wosong, and they followed the Taoist boy and walked forward.
When they arrived at the bank of the mountain lake, the two stopped. Seeing this, the boy said, "Young masters, don't worry, the road is at your feet."
Du Jin looked at Li Chouxin, but Li Chouxin took a step forward and was about to step into the water. A golden lotus emerged from the water and held Li Chouxin's foot firmly. Li Chouxin then took the second step, and then another. A golden lotus appeared, and Du Jin followed.
"Brother Chouxin, this Yunyin Temple is really magical. This is why the world has only heard of Yunyin Temple but not seen it!" Du Jin said from behind.
Li Chouxin heard this and replied: "That's right. Everyone in the world is afraid of this illusory step, but they don't know that each step has to be taken by oneself. The path that others take is the path of others."
The boy heard what Li Chouxin said and said from the front: "Young Master is really smart. In the past few decades, no one has been able to really find the location of Yunyin Temple. You can see through all the obstacles easily. No wonder Master asked me to come out to greet you two." .”
After passing the Shanxin Lake, we arrived at Yunyin Temple. The plaque with Yunyin Temple written on it seemed to be surrounded by clouds and mist, just like Yunyin Temple.
The two followed the Taoist boy and walked in. Inside the Yunyin Temple was another world.
This Taoist temple is not what you see from a distance. When you enter the door, you can see a huge tree trunk winding and circling. The houses in the Taoist temple are all built on this huge tree trunk, with well-proportioned and distinct layers. , big and small, with different shapes. The two of them were shocked when they looked at everything in front of them. They thought that this Taoist temple was built on the mountain, but they never thought that it was built directly on this huge ancient pine. Now they were in it, It seemed to be floating in the air, and neither of them understood the reason.
Looking up, I saw a very unique house high up on the tree trunk, but there were no other houses above that house. A pine branch stretched out from the window. It was as thick as a washbasin, and the pine needles were extremely lush, and together they formed a bed. The shape is lifted up, and the clothes and belt are fluttering, as if there is a person sleeping on it, which is very mysterious.
The boy led the curious two people up and down the trunk of the ancient pine, heading towards the tallest house. There were cranes flying in and out from time to time, just like a fairyland.
When they arrived outside the house, they saw the word "Yun Pavilion" written on the door. The boy said: "This is the Yunge Pavilion, the master's daily residence. Even I rarely have the opportunity to enter. I didn't expect the master to show up today." It’s really puzzling for me to bring the two young masters here.”
The boy knocked on the door as he spoke. After knocking three times, the door slowly opened, but there was no one behind the door.
The two of them were surprised again. Du Jin hurriedly said: "Brother Chou Xin, could it be that we really visited the Immortal Palace today? Everything is so incredible."
Li Chouxin also said: "The world is so big and there are so many foreign experts. It's only because of our narrow vision."
"You two gentlemen, please come in." The boy said at the door, but he did not go in.
"Little Fairy Boy, why don't you come in with us?" Li Chouxin asked.
"Master didn't tell me to go in, so naturally I wouldn't dare to go in easily. I just stand at the door and wait for instructions."
The two of them entered the Cloud Pavilion under the guidance of the Taoist boy. There were thousands of volumes of books in the pavilion, arranged on the surrounding shelves, and some were scattered on the table, as if they had not been read for a long time.
There was no one in the room, only a small stove was boiling tea and steaming.
The two of them looked toward the window, and there seemed to be a person lying on the pine branches extending along the window. This person looked plump, with white hair and beard, and kind eyes. He was like an immortal, closing his eyes to meditate.
Li Chouxin walked to the window and observed the man, but said nothing.
After a while, the old man on the pine branch said slowly: "Since you are here, let's pour some tea for yourself." The old man said but did not open his eyes.
Li Chouxin didn't ask any further questions. He just turned around and walked to the fire. He picked up the teapot and poured three cups of tea next to it. Then he said towards the window: "Senior, please come in and drink tea together."
The old man outside the window smiled slowly and said: "Drinking tea in the house is not as interesting as on the pine branches. How about you two go out and drink together?"
Li Chouxin also smiled slightly and said: "Since you have come, let's take care of it. Since senior invites me, it's better to be respectful than to obey." After saying that, he lifted the tea table with tea and walked to the window, jumped over and flew over, and the tea in his hand Not a drop of tea was spilled.
"Brother Du Jin, what are you waiting for?" Li Chouxin stood still and shouted towards Du Jin who was in shock in the room.
Only then did Du Jin come to his senses, walked to the window, and walked steadily along the pine branches.
Li Chouxin placed the tea case in front of the old man, and the old man slowly stood up. At this time, Li Chouxin and Du Jin also sat down, and the three of them gathered around the tea case.
"You two little friends, please have some tea!" After saying this, the old man picked up a cup of tea, sniffed it in front of his nose, and drank it in one gulp.
"It's really good tea. The aroma of the tea is accompanied by the mist and pine breeze. It really has a unique taste." After finishing speaking, the old man turned his attention to the two young men in front of him.
Li Chouxin and Du Jin also picked up their teacups and drank the tea like old men.
As soon as the tea entered their throats, both of them opened their eyes wide, shocked by the seemingly insignificant amount of tea.
This tea does indeed smell like ordinary tea brewed, but when it enters the mouth under the blowing of clouds and pine breeze, it exudes a wonderful taste, as if the mountains of tea buds are growing in the mouth, and the aftertaste is endless. Full of vitality, this tea enters the heart of sorrow, and it feels like all the worries from the world have disappeared, and even the mind becomes much wider, and the person becomes more energetic.
The two looked at the old man with doubts, and the old man also smiled and said: "This tea was picked by me personally from a high mountain. I polished and dried it carefully and put a lot of effort into it. I got it for you." It's called 'Xiaochou', ordinary people can broaden their minds and forget their worries after drinking it, while ascetics like me can stabilize their minds and prolong their lives."
After listening to the old man's words, the two people's doubts were finally solved, but Li Chouxin asked again: "Dare I ask the old man, the word Xiaochou is often used to describe drinks in the world, why did the old man use it as the name of tea? Is there any explanation for this?”
"Eliminate sorrow, eliminate sorrow, but where does sorrow come from? In the world of vulgarity, people think that they can use wine to relieve sorrow, but the wine only makes people temporarily numb and lose consciousness. Although they can forget their sorrow for a short time, when they wake up, This sadness often becomes more frequent, which only hurts the spirit. And this sadness comes from the heart. The tea is fresh and sweet, which also coincides with the principle of pure heart and few desires. If there are no desires in the heart, the sadness will naturally dissipate. So what is this tea called? The names are the same, but I just want to go against the vulgar people in the world. In the world, wine is used to relieve worries, but I want to drink tea to relieve my worries. That's all."
Both Li Chouxin and Du Jin were deeply impressed by the old man's profound insights and looked at the old man with admiration.
Du Jin then remembered that the conversation lasted so long and he didn't even know who the person in front of him was, so he asked: "Dare you ask if the old gentleman is a Taoist from Wosong? It's really rude for me to come here to disturb you."
The old man was still sitting lazily and said leisurely: "It doesn't matter. Since you two are here, it is fate. Since God has destined me, Taoist Wosong, to get acquainted with these two little friends, you can feel free to do whatever you want. There is no need." Stick to etiquette."
The old man looked at Li Chouxin and asked, "Isn't this little friend curious about my identity?"
But Li Chouxin said: "Since it's the Taoist priest who invites me, and it's the Taoist master, I don't want to ask. I guess the old man is Taoist Wosong, so there's no need to ask again."
Taoist Wosong looked at Li Chouxin, who seemed free and uninhibited. Compared to Du Jin's politeness, he liked Li Chouxin better. Taoist Wosong seemed to see his youthful self in Li Chouxin.
"Young friend Chou Xin is quite perceptive and quite suitable to my taste. This encounter is actually wonderful." Taoist Wosong said.
Li Chouxin saw that Wosongdao admired him a little, so he said: "Senior, it is a chance that Chouxin is here. If it weren't for Du Jin, Chouxin might not be here in his lifetime."
Taoist Wosong turned his attention to Du Jin, nodded, and said: "This Mr. Du is very polite and must be very popular in the world. Especially a compassionate and kind heart is very rare. This heart will achieve success." Your reputation in future generations will also become a burden for you in this life."
When Du Jin heard this, he was extremely surprised and said: "Senior, you can see through Du's character and destiny with just a quick glance. I really admire you. Since you said that I will be burdened by this compassionate heart in this life, can you give me some advice?"
Taoist Wosong shook his head and said: "Everything is determined by fate. This is the path you are destined to take. I can only wish you good luck. It's hard to say anything more."
Du Jin also nodded and replied: "What Mr. said is that if everything is explained thoroughly, then life will lose its due value and fun. It is not a bad thing to have fun in hardship, just let everything happen."
Seeing Du Jin's sentiments, Taoist Wosong also smiled with satisfaction.
Li Chouxin also said at this time: "Sir, brother Du Jin is indeed as you said. He has compassion for the world. This is indeed beyond Chouxin's ability. But Chouxin is lucky enough to get to know brother Du Jin, and it is not in vain for what he has wanted in this life."
Seeing what Li Chouxin said, Taoist Wosong added: "As for little friend Chouxin, he is much more relaxed and comfortable than little friend Du Jin. He is bohemian by nature and can come and go freely. This also means that this little friend will be unrestrained and carefree in his life." .”
Li Chouxin nodded repeatedly and replied: "Sir, what Chouxin said is that before, Chouxin was obsessed with an official career and struggled for many years to achieve it. But once he came to the side of the king, he suddenly realized that this was not what he was pursuing in his heart. That's why he traveled eastward. for this encounter.”
Taoist Wosong drank a cup of tea, looked at the two young people in front of him, and sighed: "The descendants are awesome! Your names will be spread and praised by the world for hundreds or even thousands of years in the future."
After Li Chouxin and Du Jin finished talking, the three of them were silent for a moment, all looking towards the mountains and clouds in the distance, as if the future life scenes were already showing in their eyes.
"Sir, I would like to ask you how many years you have lived here?" Li Chouxin asked.
Taoist Wosong stroked his beard and replied: "I have been here since I stepped out of the world of mortals. But at that time, there was no cloud hidden view, only this green pine like a dragon. I relied on this green pine to practice Taoism. I ate wild fruits when I was hungry and thirsty. Drinking truffles and sleeping on a pine tree, I don’t know how much time has passed. I just feel that I am getting older but I don’t feel old. Later, I meet the young son Lingfeng who is being hunted and enters this place in a panic. Seeing that he is destined, the old man will accept him. I have been a disciple for more than thirty years now, but this boy has stopped growing since he was fifteen years old. He still looks like a boy to this day, which is strange. In the old memory, he has already experienced the change of dynasties and the change of kings. It really doesn’t count the years.”
When the two of them heard this, they both exclaimed, Immortal.
Li Chouxin sighed: "Except for immortals, there is probably no one in the world who can live for such a long time and be a true immortal."
Du Jin also said: "There are not many, even the disciples are like broken avenues, everlasting, they are really immortals."
But Taoist Wosong smiled and said: "Whether it's an immortal or a mortal, it's good to be at home in Wosong."
The two of them saluted Taoist Wosong.
Seeing that the two of them had this opportunity, Wo Song said, "Since you two are here, I will give you a gift each, which can be regarded as a friendship."
Taoist Wosong stretched his hand towards the house, and two items flew over out of thin air and landed in the Taoist's hands.
"This is an innate jade. I see that little friend Du Jin is gentle and elegant. This jade is a perfect match. This jade has been blessed by the old man. If your life is hanging by a thread, this jade can protect your life." With that said, Taoist Wosong handed the jade to Du Jin.
Du Jin held the Yujue and wondered if he would really experience such a life-threatening moment in the future, but he didn't ask any more questions at this time.
Taoist Wosong continued: "This object is a map of the whole formation of mountains and rivers. It records the mysterious formations from ancient times to the present. I just saw that my friend cracked the Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation. It may have some connection with the formation. You can take this thing to refer to it. Research it, it will definitely come in handy in the future.”
Li Chouxin took a book as big as a collection of poems and asked, "May I ask, sir, how can you tell that I will use this thing in the future?"
Taoist Wosong smiled slightly: "You boy, why are you traveling east this time?"
Li Chouxin pursed his lips and smiled: "Sir, you are really a god and can predict the future. Chouxin is really convinced this time."
The Taoist looked at the two young men and said, "The road is long and I hope you two will achieve something in the end."
They thanked each other again.
The Taoist said again: "My dear friend, you must be careful when you go to Tianmu Mountain. This Tianmu Mountain is an ancient sect. There are many unpredictable people in the sect, especially the leader. Although you are superb in swordsmanship, you still have the strongest sword." You haven't been born yet, so although you can protect yourself, it's not easy to take people away. Since I've given you this formation, you should practice it well. Although it won't be able to help you suppress your opponents, it will be enough to help you get out of trouble."
Li Chouxin looked at the formation book in her hand again and put it into her arms.
"Sir, since we have met each other and received a gift from you, Du Jin is really sorry. As the saying goes, it is disrespectful to come back and never reciprocate. Since I have received a gift from my husband, I naturally have to reciprocate it. However, ordinary things are not something that my husband can discern. It's really embarrassing. I am so melancholy."
Wo Song looked at Du Jin and said, "That being said, there are no more things in this world that I want anymore, so let's forget about this rudeness."
Du Jin's face suddenly felt awkward. At this time, Li Chouxin said: "I see that there are pens, inks, paper and inkstones in your room. How about Du Jin and I each write a poem and give it to you? This can be considered a real acquaintance. If you come, There will be a future."
The Taoist said with a smile: "This method is very wonderful. The calligraphy and painting don't look so tacky. I still have two places on the wall in my room, so you two can each make one and hang it on the wall. It can also be considered as a reserve." A memorial."
The three of them returned to the house. Li Chouxin took the lead in picking up a pen and paper and started writing. As he waved his pen and ink, a free and uninhibited cursive script appeared in front of him. The poem said:
The fairy in the clouds rises above the misty pines,
Laughing and lying on the pine branches at ease.
When making tea, you don’t have to worry about earthly matters.
No matter how many years there are in this world.
Wosong read the poem written by Li Chouxin, nodded his head repeatedly, and said in his mouth: "When making tea, you don't care about earthly things, and you don't care about how many years you have been in the world."
After reading Li Chouxin's works, Du Jin also wrote with neat and powerful handwriting:
I found the Immortal Immortal in the mountains,
Pure water gives birth to golden lotus step by step.
Whooping cranes from all directions are frequent guests,
Ten miles of clouds and mist make it easy to sleep.
The Taoist looked at what Du Jin had written and found it completely different from what Li Chouxin had written. Then he happily hung the two poems on the wall and looked at them carefully.
