    ?

    I looked at the middle-aged man carefully, and saw that he also had a kind smile on his face. He greeted us, said goodbye to the Taoist, and walked through the backyard.

    The old Taoist smiled at us and said, "I'll let the dumb prepare lunch first, and you guys stay and eat." As soon as we talked about eating, I suddenly felt very hungry.  I walked the mountain road for a long time and didn't eat much, so I glanced at Duan Qingshui and saw that he had no objection, so I immediately nodded in agreement.

    When the deaf-mute Taoist was cooking, we chatted with the Taoist and asked about the origins of these beggars.  The old Taoist said that these are beggars from the nearby mountain villages, mentally ill or something, and those who cannot be supported by the family will be "released" directly and thrown on the street. The nearby villagers are simple and honest, and they will basically give some food to these beggars.  Or mentally ill homeless people.  Sometimes temples also take in some homeless people, and then ask charities to send them to welfare homes and other places.

    "Then the one just now was a certain philanthropist?" Duan Qingshui asked nonchalantly.

    The old Taoist smiled and said: "Yes, he is a Taiwanese businessman who invested in a breeding farm here. He likes Taoist culture and often comes to my place to drink tea and play chess."

    "Oh, yes." Duan Qingshui nodded.  The old Taoist took us into the house there and made tea for us.  I saw that the equipment in this room was also very simple. There was an old low tea table on the side near the window. It was made of wood, and the edges were polished very brightly, which showed that it had been used for a long time.  There are several rustic teacups on the coffee table.  Next to the low tea table are two rattan chairs with cushions.  We were too embarrassed to sit there, so we had to move the bench in to talk.

    The old Taoist asked why we came here, and Duan Qingshui asked the old Taoist if his surname was Wang, and if he was a disciple of Liu Changsheng's younger generation.  Did Liu Changsheng leave an ancient book behind? We just want to read that ancient book.  After hearing this, the old Taoist sighed: "You guys are late. My surname is indeed Wang, but this ancient book should have been burned. You know, there were all kinds of troubles in those days, and I was also arrested and imprisoned."  Fortunately, a village head of a nearby village saved me, otherwise this old bone would be gone. Although our master is indeed Liu Changsheng, one of the Seven Sons of Quanzhen, my cultivation is not as good as  That's so powerful, he's just a fatuous old Taoist who just sits and waits to die. A few of you are looking for the wrong person."

    I saw that the old Taoist seemed unwilling to borrow it, so I looked at Duan Qingshui, wondering if I should continue to ask.  To my surprise, Duan Qingshui also showed a look of regret, and sighed: "I didn't expect that we made this trip in vain. Since we came all the way, we want to live in this temple for three years."  On the fifth day, go to the nearby mountains and rivers for a few days before going back, don¡¯t you think this is a disturbance?¡±

    The old Taoist smiled and said: "Our temple has never hosted outsidersespecially there are female benefactors."

    Seeing that Duan Qingshui wanted to stay here, I thought about looking for it myself, so I said, "Master, you see, these are all members of the same sect. Is there any reason to drive them out? We will give some of them to the temple."  Incense money, do you think it will work?"

    The old Taoist didn't speak. Although there was no expression on his face, he felt that the silence meant that he didn't quite agree.  We all fell silent for a moment, which made me feel a little awkward.  Just in the middle of the silence, the deaf-mute Taoist walked in through the curtain, making gestures with the old Taoist for a long while, and then with us for a long while.

    "Damn, what is he talking about?" I asked.

    Duan Qingshui smiled: "It seems that the guest room has been prepared for us. It seems that many visitors will live here in the past."

    The old Taoist smiled: "Then you can stay. There are not many guest rooms, only three or four, which are very simple, and you will leave. I have something to do first, so excuse me." Saying that, the old Taoist went out.  The deaf-mute Taoist began to clean up the tea table, and I smiled at Duan Qingshui: "Okay, Boss Duan, you're as good as me."

    Duan Qingshui snorted coldly: "This temple seems to be weird, check it out carefully. If this old Taoist is really as stupid as he said, he will suppress evil spirits for the hotel and suppress the negative spirit for the school. How did he do it?"  What? I don't think it's that simple."

    Su Ling said: "Let's observe carefully these few days. I always feel that the Taoist's behavior is a littleindescribably uncoordinated."

    "What's incongruous?" I asked.

    "Wang Daoist should be in his 80s or 90s. But this person's behavior doesn't look that old." Su Ling said: "Although people who practice Taoism will appear much younger than their actual age, some  He likes and behaves like a young man, but he still can't be like a young man." After speaking, Su Ling got up and walked to the window, pointed to a place in the yard where green flowers and plants were planted, and said, "Do you know what those green plants are?  ?¡±

    I looked carefully, and suddenlyRecalling a case involving ashes and tobacco last year, I immediately said: "That's tobacco! Is it the tobacco leaves grown?"

    Su Ling nodded and said: "I study Chinese medicine, and I am more concerned about the flowers and plants in the world. I heard that the older generation of folks who love to smoke like to grow some tobacco, sell the good quality, and make the bad tobacco into shredded tobacco by themselves.  Put it in a dry pipe to smoke. If these people who like to smoke live to this day, they should be eighty or ninety years old. It seems that Wang Daochang should be an old man who likes to smoke. The tobacco sprouting in the yard shows this. But you see  In the ashtray that the dumb Taoist took away¡ª"

    Su Ling's eyes fell on the mute's hand, and I followed suit, and saw that he was putting back the washed cup and taking out a small ashtray on the table.  There were several stubbed cigarette butts in it.  This is obviously a common smoke on the market.  I was stunned and said, "Sister Immortal, I don't understand what you mean."

    Su Ling said: "The current Daoist Wang actually likes to smoke this kind of cigarette, it doesn't seem to match his age."

    I said, "Maybe it was drawn by the Taiwanese businessman just now?"

    "No, when the businessman passed by me, I could smell him not having a strong smell of smoke, but only a faint smell of perfume. But Wang Daoren had a strong smell of smoke." Su Ling said.

    "Then maybe this old man suddenly likes to smoke modern cigarettes?" Ruan Lingxi said: "What's the matter?"

    "Those who like to smoke dry tobacco will feel that the current tobacco is not enjoyable enough." Duan Qingshui said: "The main problem is the age. What if he is not a king?"

    I was stunned and said, "Then who would he be?"

    Duan Qingshui said slowly: "This is the problem we will stay and investigate today."

    I was stunned for a while. I thought they were suspicious, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt that Wang Daoren was really mysterious.  Before we had time to talk, it was time for dinner. After dinner, I saw Wang Daoren sending away a few beggars, and those who came to take away were indeed people from the social welfare institution.

    In the afternoon, we walked around the temple. Except for the empty mountain, we couldn't see people from far or near.  That Taiwanese businessman raises sea cucumbers, and the farm is not far from here by the sea, relatively close to the temple.  Two huts were built under the steps of the temple, which were quite low, like a warehouse, with arched doors and locked doors.  In the afternoon, while the deaf-mute Taoist was busy, I looked in through the crack of the arched door. It was indeed a warehouse, and there were a lot of old things, unused bedding, etc. in it.

    After walking around for a day, a few of us didn't find anything wrong with the temple.  Even after dinner, Wang Daoren didn't seem to want to spend more time with us, saying that he had to go to practice meditation, so he locked himself in the hall.  Duan Qingshui saw him enter the hall, and asked me: "You really don't think there is anything wrong with him?"

    "No, but what is certain is that his Taoism has a good foundation, and it is not what he evaded on the surface at all." I said.

    Duan Qingshui nodded, and said to Ruan Lingxi and me: "You two rest, I will go out with Su Ling."

    "You still go out in the middle of the night?" Ruan Lingxi sighed: "There is not even a signal in this poor place."

    "What signal do you hope there is in the mountains?" I said with a wry smile.  Ruan Lingxi yawned helplessly: "I'm going to have a beauty sleep first, and you guys should go to bed early too." Saying that, she opened the door of the side room and went in.

    I couldn't sleep, and seeing Duan Qingshui taking Su Ling out, I wondered what Boss Duan was going to do mysteriously in the middle of the night, so I followed them out.  But Duan Qingshui stopped shortly after he walked out of the temple, and stretched himself facing the moonlight.

    Su Ling asked: "What are you going to investigate?"

    Duan Qingshui looked leisurely: "What are you looking for, it would be nice to come out to relax." As he spoke, he hugged Su Ling and said with a smile: "There is no one around here, so if you do something, you won't be noticed."

    Su Ling was a little annoyed immediately: "No, don't mess around in the place of Qingxiu."

    Duan Qingshui said with a low smile: "I don't care what kind of place he is. Otherwise, how about we live in the fairy cave for one night and be a couple of gods?" As he said, Boss Duan actually hugged Su Ling tightly in his arms  Kiss passionately.  I was stunned watching from the sidelines, thinking that the two of you came out to talk about love.

    Su Ling pushed him away slightly, and said in a low voice, "Let's go back."

    Duan Qingshui said with a smile: "What are you doing back home? If you don't want to go to the Immortal Cave, let's go to the forest May flowers bloom just right, and the moonlight is not bad" Saying that, Boss Duan really hugged Sister Immortal.

    I immediately turned around and wanted to go back, thinking that these two were going to be on a reality show.  Don't look at me, Boss Duan usually has a cold look, but I didn't expect him to be very wretched in private.

    Just when I was about to go back to the mountain temple, I suddenly heard a woman's scream from nearby.  The sound was very shrill, very harsh in the quiet mountain.

    "Sister Immortal?" My first reaction was Su Ling shouting.  But I immediately realized that the sound was wrong and the direction was wrong.  That voice clearly came from near the small warehouse!  I hurried to the front, and saw that the locks of the warehouse were still locked, the mountain wind was blowing, the flowers and trees were swaying, and there was no one around.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)A woman's scream was heard nearby.  The sound was very shrill, very harsh in the quiet mountain.
