Chapter 281 Returning to the Mountain in the Dark Night
It was night at Xu time, the moon was bright and the stars were few and far between.
If we were in a village or town, at this hour, although the streets would not be bustling with people coming and going, it would never be a scene of silence.
However, this tranquility is a normal phenomenon in Shunyuan Peak's "City in the Clouds".
Here is Yuntian Temple, a Taoist temple that is almost isolated from the world.
The reason why I say "isolated" is because it is not easy to go to Yuntian Temple. If ordinary people want to come here to offer incense, they must have received great favors from Yuntian Temple, and they must be prepared to travel far.
All kinds of preparations must be made with sincerity and good luck, so that you can get to the mountain safely.
Of course, after most people heard that Yuntian Temple stood at the top of the Nine Danger, they must first consider whether they can make it to the temple alive.
Therefore, there will never be many strangers who actually come to Yuntian Temple. Most of them are Taoist temples who are also seeking immortality.
People, and moreover those people who have really benefited from Yuntian Temple, go up the mountain with the disciples in the temple to offer incense and fulfill their vows.
But no matter what kind of situation happens in Yuntian Temple, no matter who comes up in the temple, it will definitely be a rare visitor. During normal times, Yuntian Temple has always been spent in peace, especially at night.
After the Lord finished his daily lectures and the disciples in the temple finished their daily homework, there was enough time for everyone to move freely. In the evening, when they were bored, most of the people went back to their houses early to rest, and naturally there was no movement outside.
In the middle of the mountain behind Shunyuan Peak, there are dozens of large and small houses scattered around.
At this time, the lights in many houses had been extinguished, and it was obvious that the people staying in the houses had gone to bed.
In a room that was a little far away from most of the houses, the lights flickered in and out for an instant, presumably because the person inside was about to blow out the candles.
At this moment, the door of the house was opened.
The house is not big, but even though it is small, it is well-equipped with everything including beds, tables and chairs, wardrobes, bathtubs, dressing tables, etc. Except for a large round table, everything is prepared in two or more sets. Obviously, this
The house is occupied by two people, and two women at that.
The door opened quickly and closed even faster.
The person who entered the house was a woman.
The woman was holding a piano in her hands and had her hair tied in two braids. Her face was a little pale and she seemed a little tired. Only her big eyes were still vivid and had not lost their original spirituality and vitality.
The woman was wearing a pink cloud robe. The cloud robe was supposed to be elegant and solemn, but it was stained with a lot of dust, wrinkled, and even damaged in three or two places, but the woman didn't seem to care.
The one present in the house is also a woman.
This woman was wearing a white nightgown. She was actually approaching the table to blow out the lights, but she saw the woman in pink suddenly appear. She was so shocked that she didn't come back to her senses.
The woman in white has teeth like gourd rhinoceros, a slender eyebrow, and her eyes are not much smaller than those of the woman in pink, but compared to the agility of the woman in pink, her eyes are more empty and untainted by dust.
"Teacher, teacher...sister?" the woman in white said in astonishment, then stretched out her hand to rub her eyes, and then pinched her flesh. After confirming again and again that she was not dreaming, she finally shouted happily, "Teacher...
"
Unexpectedly, the woman in pink, who was called senior sister by the woman in white, put down her long piano and made a silent gesture. Seeing this, the woman in white had already shouted most of the words and swallowed them back.
He changed his tone and whispered: "Senior sister, you are back!"
While they were talking, the two women had gotten a lot closer, and the woman in white fell directly on top of the woman in pink.
The two girls behaved very affectionately, so naturally they were very familiar senior sisters.
The woman in pink is Xi Weiyu, and the woman in white is Yun Longkui, the youngest and junior junior sister in Yuntian Temple.
In order to avoid encountering the possible Nether Cult, Xi Weiyu and Jiang Yichen deliberately detoured most of the way, taking a dangerous path that Xi Weiyu thought was the most hidden, and went up the back mountain.
Because of this, it took them almost a whole day to get to Yuntian Temple, which was originally only half a day's journey.
Xi Weiyu patted Yunlongkui's head. She hadn't seen this little girl for many days, but she missed her very much.
Both of them seemed to have a lot of things to say to each other. In the end, Yunlongkui's mouth moved faster and she still whispered: "Senior sister, why are you so dirty? Come on, take it off quickly. I
I'll take it to you to wash it tomorrow."
If Xi Weiyu had heard Yun Longkui's words a few days ago, she would not have thought too much or hesitated, and would have just followed the instructions. But after these two days of suffering, she finally noticed Yun Longkui's words.
Kui's words always contain love and concern for her, and Nightshade is just her junior sister.
Feeling touched in her heart, Xi Weiyu grasped Yunlongkui's hand tightly. She will definitely repay this lovely junior sister with more love and care in the future.
"Senior sister, you are hurting me." Seeing Xi Weiwei not replying, just staring at herself closely, Yun Longkui always felt that today's senior sister was a bit weird, but she didn't know why.
When his hands hurt, he thought he had done something wrong and was at a loss, so he lowered his head and called in a low voice.
When Xi Weiyu heard this, she found that she was a little startled. She couldn't help but laugh. She let go of her hand and led Yun Longkui to the table to sit down. She said, "Good junior sister, it was my fault that I was careless. The clothes are not in a hurry.
, Senior Sister can also wash herself tomorrow. In the past few days when Senior Sister is not here, Junior Sister has been waiting to go up the mountain to do her homework, right?"
Yun Longkui felt more and more that Xi Weiyu was acting strangely, but she couldn't think of a reason. She could only answer: "Of course, Xiaokui has only gone down the mountain once in her life, and she was led by her senior sister.
I went."
As Yun Longkui talked, she couldn't help but recall the first time Xi Weiyu took her down the mountain to play in Shu. In the blink of an eye, she was so crazy thinking about it that she started laughing.
Upon seeing this, Xi Weiyu felt a sense of pity in her heart. She reached out and touched Yun Longkui's cheek and said, "Good junior sister, when we are free, senior sister will definitely ask the master for a chance to take you down the mountain to play again."
When Yun Longkui heard this, she smiled and hugged Xi Weiyu's extended hand, and said happily: "I knew that senior sister is the best to me."
Seeing Yun Longkui smiling with satisfaction, as if she had made a random promise, to her, it was the most beautiful and rare blessing in the world. She couldn't help but feel sad again, but she quickly adjusted her thoughts,
Returning to the topic, he preached: "Good junior sister, please tell senior sister quickly, is there anything unusual in the temple these days?"
Yun Longkui was stunned when he heard this, not knowing why, and said: "Well, what could be abnormal in the view?"
Xi Weiyu also found that her question was too abrupt, so she further explained: "For example, have there been any foreigners in the temple these days? Is there anything happening that doesn't usually happen?"
Yun Longkui listened very carefully and replied seriously: "No outsiders have come to the temple these days, and nothing strange has happened... Oh, Xiaokui remembered it."
Xi Wei said urgently: "What did you remember?"
Yun Longkui said: "The day before yesterday, it rained the first time since autumn, and it also rained on our mountain. The rain was so heavy that it wiped out some of the flowers and plants that my wife liked. She has been feeling sad these past two days.
."
When Xi Weiyu heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, but she heard Yun Longkui say again: "The master has calculated that the senior sister will probably go up the mountain in one or two days. The rain was too heavy that day, so he was worried."
I was worried, so that night I ordered the third senior brother and the fourteenth and fifteenth senior brothers to go down the mountain to look for you. If I haven't brought you up in the past two days, I'm afraid more senior brothers will be sent to look for you."
When Yun Longkui said the first sentence, Xi Weiyu felt uneasy. After the whole sentence was finished, Xi Weiyu finally lost her voice and said: "What? The third senior brother and the fourteenth and fifteenth junior brothers went down the mountain?!
