Today's meal was cooked by Wang Sanniang, so some was specially left for him.
I just warmed it up and took two bites.
But I couldn't finish it in the end.
Chen Changsheng asked: "Can't you eat?"
Yanhuanglou nodded and said, "Yes."
He breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I'm really going to die. There was a family named Liu there before. His parents were sixty-seven years old. They were like me. They couldn't eat and had no energy all day long.
He died within a few days."
Chen Changsheng said: "You don't have a son, and when the time comes, I don't know who will bury you."
Yanhuanglou smiled and said, "Do you want to help me?"
"Don't even think about it before the time comes," Chen Changsheng said.
"That's not what I said before."
"Before was before, now is now."
"Hey."
Yanhuanglou didn't argue with him, but said: "It doesn't matter when you die, you will die sooner or later anyway. I will dig a hole early and lie down in it myself. Just help me cover it with some soil."
I have no relatives and no one to worship, so I won’t erect a monument.”
Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "Look, you don't look like you can't stand it now."
"That's right, I have to set up a stall tomorrow."
"Still going?"
"certainly."
Chen Changsheng glanced at him and asked, "What's so good about this tea stall? You're almost dead, and you're still guarding it."
Yanhuang Tower said: "I have relied on this tea stall for half my life, how could I give up."
As he spoke, he sighed.
That little tea stall was everything to him.
Chen Changsheng said nothing more after hearing this. He stood up and said, "If you are sleepy, go to sleep. Chen will go for a walk."
"Where are you going so late?" Yanhuanglou asked.
Chen Changsheng did not explain, walked out of the courtyard, and closed the door.
Yanhuanglou shook his head and muttered, then sat alone in the courtyard and stared blankly, looking a little lonely.
He always does this, in fact he is already used to it.
…
Chen Changsheng left Qingshan City.
Went to a mountain.
That mountain is called Zhenlong Mountain.
If I remember correctly, today is the death anniversary of Xuandi.
He originally wanted to come during the day, but he needed someone to watch him for safety and happiness, so he delayed.
When he came to the foot of the mountain again, Chen Changsheng was suddenly stunned.
"this……"
In the blink of an eye, three years later, Zhenlong Mountain has changed.
Zhenlong Mountain, which was originally full of trees, now has several palaces standing there, with extraordinary majesty.
And on that mountain, there is a stone road leading directly to the temple on the mountain.
There is also a stone tablet erected at the mountain gate.
There are four words "Qingshan Immortal Mansion" written on it.
Chen Changsheng walked towards the mountain. He wanted to see which Taoist temple was on the mountain.
The sky is as dark as ink now, but there are still lights in the temple on the mountain, and the sound of chanting can be faintly heard as you walk higher.
There were two Taoist priests guarding the gate.
When they saw someone going up the mountain, they couldn't help but be stunned. It seemed they didn't expect anyone to come so late.
The little Taoist priest said: "Bulk, I have closed my eyes for now. If you want to offer incense, you have to wait until tomorrow."
Chen Changsheng raised his hand to look, and saw three characters - Qingxian Temple.
"I've met the Taoist priest."
Chen Changsheng said: "Chen originally went out of the city to do business, but unexpectedly he was delayed and stranded outside the city. This wilderness is infested with snakes and insects. Chen did not dare to stay in the wilderness. He came up the mountain to ask if he could rest in the temple.
One night and leave early tomorrow morning."
After hearing this, the two Taoist priests looked at each other, and then said: "I can't decide this matter, so I would like to ask the layman to wait for a while, and then go to the Taoist priest to report it."
"It should be so." Chen Changsheng nodded.
After one of the young Taoist priests entered the Taoist temple, Chen Changsheng started chatting with the other one.
"Little Taoist Master, Mr. Chen remembers that there was no Taoist temple on this mountain in previous years. Why now..."
"The layman has lived in the city for a long time, so I don't know where he came from."
The Taoist priest sighed and said: "It's a long story. There were many spectators in the middle Taoist temple in Yuanchuan back then, but after the rebels entered the city, our Taoist sect was suppressed and all the Taoist temples were cleaned. Later, the Heavenly Master went to the city to pray for help.
Your Excellency was able to give permission for a Taoist temple to be established. The temple masters of each mountain did not want the Taoist tradition to decline, so they joined together and built Taoist temples on Zhenlong Mountain, leaving behind the orthodox temple."
"That's it." Chen Changsheng understood.
He asked: "I wonder what the temple owner is called now?"
"The Heavenly Master's name is Zhixuan Zhenren."
Chen Changsheng nodded to show his understanding, and then asked no more questions.
After a while, the trail leader who went to report came out the door.
"Layers, please come in and observe."
"Good work."
Chen Changsheng entered the temple.
Immediately, the little Taoist leader took Chen Changsheng to a small disciple's room.
The little Taoist priest said: "Layers can rest here tonight. It's a little rough, so don't be surprised, lay people."
"No problem."
The little Taoist priest nodded and replied: "If something happens, the layman can find the senior fellow in the next room."
"good."
Chen Changsheng said: "Little Taoist Master, I wonder if Chen can meet the temple master?"
The little Taoist priest said: "The master of the temple is giving a sermon to several fellow disciples. I'm afraid it will have to wait until half an hour later."
"Excuse me, the Taoist Master, please let me know."
"That's fine."
After the little Taoist priest left, Chen Changsheng took a look at the temple.
It has to be said that this Taoist temple is not small, it can accommodate dozens of disciples at least, and the various temples are also particularly magnificent. Such Taoist temples are indeed rare.
Half an hour later, Chen Changsheng was led to a side hall by a Taoist priest.
And in that temple, there was an old man wearing a blue robe sitting cross-legged in the hall.
"The poor Taoist can only stop the mysterious. I have seen lay people."
Chen Changsheng cupped his hands and said: "The real immortal spirit and Taoist spirit are indeed extraordinary."
"The layman is too flattering." Master Zhixuan pushed the tea on the table in front of Chen Changsheng.
"please."
Chen Changsheng raised his cup and took a sip, then said: "It is bitter in the mouth, but sweet aftertaste. It is a good tea."
Zhixuan Zhenzhen said: "The wild tea picked from the mountains is not worth mentioning."
Chen Changsheng smiled warmly, then changed his tone and asked: "I heard the Taoist priest in front of the temple say something before. I wonder which fairy mountain the Taoist temple was in before this?"
"Before Ronan Mountain."
Chen Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "It's quite far."
As he was speaking, his eyes paused.
Zhixuan Zhenren followed Chen Changsheng's line of sight and looked back at the fairy cave robe hanging on the wall.
Chen Changsheng remained silent and then asked: "If Chen remembers correctly, that piece on the wall is the Immortal Cave Clothes?"
Master Zhixuan nodded and said: "Exactly."
Chen Changsheng looked at him and asked: "But the clothes of the real person?"
"Chen heard that this Immortal Cave Clothing is an unusual thing and can only be worn by those with profound spiritual practice."
Master Zhixuan smiled calmly and said, "The layman is so complimentary."
Unexpectedly, the expression of the person in front of him suddenly changed.
