Chapter 38: Beauty in white in the mountains
"Brother, are you going to ask for help now?" Zhou Jun said. Zhou Yi was willing to help him save his father. He already regarded Zhou Yi as a good big brother who could live and die together.【】
"You are right. The place where your father is under house arrest must be heavily guarded. It would be difficult for the two of us to break in and save people."
Zhou Yi replied: "I will take you to ask for help now. If these two people are willing to help us, the hope of saving your father will be much greater."
The two people Zhou Yi mentioned to Zhou Jun were naturally Chen Hu and Xiao Qing, but now the old Taoist priest is probably no longer alive. I wonder if Chen Hu and Xiao Qing will follow the old Taoist priest's wishes and still wait for Zhou Yi at the Songshan Mosque in Shanghai.
, preparing to assist him in the future and fight for him through life and death.
"Eldest brother also has friends in Shanghai? Are they helping us?" Zhou Jun asked quickly after hearing Zhou Yi say that he was looking for help.
"Go first." Zhou Yi replied.
So Zhou Yi told Zhou Jun about the time when he, the old Taoist priest, Chen Hu, and Xiao Qing were together. Only then did Zhou Jun know that the helper Zhou Yi mentioned was at the Songjiang Mosque on a hill in the suburbs.
"How many years have you stayed in Shanghai?"
Zhouyi asked Zhou Jundao.
"My father is from the north, but I was born in Shanghai. My mother is also from Shanghai. I am fifteen years old and have been living in Shanghai."
Zhou Jun replied that he didn't know why Zhou Yi asked this question suddenly.
"Then have you ever heard of such a mysterious old Taoist priest? The old Taoist priest once told me that he was a Taoist boy in Songjiang Mosque when he was very young."
Zhou Yi asked Zhou Jundao, he also wanted to know the identity of the old Taoist priest.
"I've never heard of this. Maybe my father knows about it. He has a lot of connections in Shanghai." Zhou Jun thought for a while and replied. He heard Zhou Yi talk about the past and was very curious about who this old Taoist priest was.
"Let's find Chen Hu and Xiao Qing first. Chen Hu's martial arts skills are far superior to mine. As long as he and Xiao Qing are willing to come out, the four of us should be able to give it a try." Zhou Yi said.
Hearing Zhou Yi say that Chen Hu was so powerful, Zhou Jun felt a little relieved and prepared to act according to Zhou Yi's plan. He would first find Chen Hu and Xiao Qing before taking the next step.
A few months ago, when the mysterious old Taoist priest Chen Hu and Xiao Qing left Hangzhou with their peerless tiger spears, they did not leave anything like a phone number for Zhou Yi. He only told Zhou Yi that he had passed away soon and that this time he returned to Shanghai to return to his roots.
, if Zhou Yi comes to find Chen Hu and Xiao Qing in the future, he will go to Shanghai Songjiang Mosque.
Zhou Yi and Zhou Jun left the airport and called Luo Qingxue, Murong Hongdou and Cao Fang, telling them that they had arrived in Shanghai. Then they hailed a taxi and went straight to the Songjiang Mosque, their first planned stop after coming to Shanghai.
The first stop was crucial. Zhou Yi did not bring Zhou Chi, a peerless master, so he had to ask Chen Hu and Xiao Qing for help. Otherwise, it would be too difficult for him and Zhou Jun alone to save Emperor Zhou Qing.
Shanghai, an international metropolis, is indeed much more prosperous than Hangzhou. There are towering skyscrapers and five-star hotels everywhere. Although it is already winter, the traffic and pedestrians on the streets are still densely packed, and the streets are full of people.
Those people were all in a hurry, and Zhou Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Shanghai is really a fast-paced city.
Songjiang Mosque is in the suburbs of Shanghai, far away from the airport. Zhou Yi studied the map when he was still in Hangzhou. His map was a standard military map, so he knew clearly that it took about forty minutes to drive from the airport to Songjiang Mosque.
Along the way, Zhou Yi was observing the scenery along the way through the car, while Zhou Jun closed his eyes and rested his mind. His face was still pale, and returning to Shanghai again made his mind unable to calm down for a long time.
"Aren't you two from Shanghai?"
The taxi driver was an uncle Nian who seemed to be quite talkative. As soon as Zhou Yi and Zhou Jun got in the car, he started chatting casually with Zhou Yi and Zhou Jun.
Zhou Jun seemed reluctant to speak, but Zhou Yi smiled and nodded: "Well, we are from Zhejiang. We just got off the plane and came to Shanghai to visit relatives. We have nothing to do to wander around."
"You must have gone to visit the Songjiang Mosque. You have come all the way, so you will probably be disappointed. No one has been to that place for many years."
said the taxi driver.
"Why?" Zhou Yi asked curiously. The Songjiang Mosque is a famous temple in Shanghai, so why doesn't anyone go to it?
"The reason why this temple is famous is that the architectural style is a combination of Western and Western styles. There are Western-style temples and Western-style buildings inside. It was quite beautiful when it was first built, and the incense was very popular. However, it has fallen into disrepair due to years of disrepair.
, In addition, the temple is halfway up the mountain, and the road up the mountain has not been repaired, so not many people have visited there for a long time, and now there are probably no Taoist priests anywhere."
The Nian driver smiled and answered the Book of Changes.
"We were just wandering around casually, and we didn't come here specifically for this place. If it's as you said, we would have just taken a quick look and changed places. Anyway, there are many interesting places in Shanghai."
Zhou Yi replied.
"That's right, now that you've arrived in Shanghai, just take a look and you've fulfilled your wish." The taxi driver also echoed.
After leaving the city of Shanghai, I suddenly didn’t feel so crowded. There weren’t many vehicles on the broad horse. The taxi driver had good driving skills and started driving all the way. It took about forty minutes to reach the top of the hill where the Songjiang Mosque is located.
Underfoot.
The name Songjiang Mosque sounds like it is a combination of the West and the West. In fact, it was built by a Shanghai Taoist priest named Songjiang and a Western missionary, so it was named like this.
"That's the temple halfway up the mountain. The road has not been repaired and the car can't get there, so I can only take you here." The taxi driver said.
Zhou Yi and Zhou Jun got out of the car, paid the fare, and then began to look at the environment here.
This hill is not high, about more than a thousand meters. The hill is lush and green, covered with evergreen trees all year round. There is white snow on the top of the mountain. Zhou Yi looked up and saw a temple halfway up the mountain.
Zhou Yi and Zhou Jun took their luggage and walked up the mountain road. Fortunately, they didn't have much luggage. They just had a backpack each with some changes of clothes in it.
Zhou Jun's body was a little weak, and he started to breathe after walking a few hundred meters on the mountain road.
"Zhou Jun, how about you wait for me at the foot of the mountain and I go up alone." Zhou Yi said.
"I heard from the driver that this Songjiang Mosque has fallen into decline, but now that we are here, I want to go up. Besides, brother, you are looking for help. I should come forward, otherwise it will be too rude.
Zhou Jun said, he is right, this operation to rescue his father Zhou Qingdi is extremely dangerous, no matter who joins this operation, they will risk their lives greatly, then he will
He owed someone a great favor, so he insisted on going up the mountain to invite Chen Hu and Xiao Qing in person.
Seeing Zhou Jun's insistence, Zhou Yi did not object. He took Zhou Jun's luggage bag and walked up the mountain road.
The mountain road is a bit rugged and the road is covered with grass, but it is winter and has turned yellow.
Zhou Yi's physical strength was very good, and he felt as if he were walking on flat ground, but Zhou Jun's injuries were not completely healed yet. He was panting while walking, which was very hard.
"How about I carry you up?" Zhou Yi said.
"Brother, I'd better go by myself." Zhou Jun insisted.
So Zhou Jun took a rest while walking, and it took him about an hour to reach the mountainside.
The destination, Songjiang Mosque, has finally arrived.
This temple is hidden in a forest. It looks quite big. There are at least seven or eight large temples. There are a few big characters on the temple door, but it is old and a little mottled. The fallen leaves are falling outside the whole temple, which looks a bit strange.
dilapidated.
There was silence all around, with only the slight mountain breeze blowing by. Looking at the closed temple door, Zhou Jun gasped and asked: "Brother, are Brother Chen and Sister Xiaoqing not living here anymore?"
"I'll knock on the door." Zhou Yi said, he also had such doubts in his heart.
Just when Zhou Yi was about to knock on the door, the temple door suddenly opened, and a woman with a graceful figure and a more refined appearance walked out.
This woman was dressed in a white shirt with a bun on her head. She did not wear makeup, but she was surprisingly beautiful, especially her face, which was so white and blemish-free that people suspected she was a fairy in the sky.
Shangu Temple, a beautiful woman, Zhou Jun, who is the prince of the underworld, was dumbfounded. Zhou Jun had seen many beauties. His stepmother Pei Liu was known as the most beautiful woman in the Shanghai Gang, but she was so different from the one in front of him who opened the door.
Compared with other women, they lack a spiritual and otherworldly atmosphere.
This beautiful woman in white is naturally Xiao Qing, a close disciple of the mysterious old Taoist Priest. This is the second time Zhou Yi has seen her. The first time he saw her, Xiao Qing was wearing a green Taoist robe, but today she is wearing white clothes.
, looked even more beautiful, almost dumbfounding Zhou Yi, who was used to seeing the most beautiful women.
"Young Master?"
Xiaoqing opened the temple door and arrived at Zhou Yi. There was a look of surprise on her face and she walked out immediately. Obviously she also recognized Zhou Yi, but she didn't expect Zhou Yi to appear here. She originally thought that Zhou Yi would appear here.
Even if Zhou Yi uses her and Chen Hu, it will at least be after Zhou Yi finishes college.
When they were in Hangzhou, the old Taoist priest said that Chen Hu and Xiao Qing would assist Zhou Yi in the future, so Xiao Qing called Zhou Yi Young Master.
"Sister Qing, I came here specially to visit you this time. This is my brother Zhou Jun." Zhou Yi paused and then said to Xiao Qing: "Is Taoist Master still alive?"
"Young Master, Zhou Jun should come in first and then talk."
Hearing Zhou Yi's question, Xiaoqing's face showed a hint of sadness.
Zhou Yi's powers of observation were astonishing. When he saw the sad look on Xiao Qing's face, he knew that the old Taoist priest had probably passed away.
Zhou Yi and Zhou Jun followed Xiao Qing into the temple gate.
There are seven or eight temples within the temple gate. The architectural styles and ages seem to be different. Except for a small temple directly opposite the temple gate, which is still intact, the others are completely dilapidated and disrepaired. Some of them have broken walls.
The ruins are completely uninhabitable.
The ground outside the temple is covered with dead leaves, but the inside of the temple is extremely clean. However, there is not much popularity inside the temple. Even the clay statue of Bodhisattva inside is completely damaged, making it look deserted and run-down.
