Chapter 925 System Real Person
At noon, the sun pours through the gaps between the trees, and the mountain breeze blows, bringing a refreshing coolness.
But at this time, the young man in black, who was hurriedly walking on the mountain road, was completely unable to be calmed by the breeze.
He looked at the end of the mountain road, frowned and said: "When passing by Qiantang County three years ago, Zhan also climbed this mountain, but did not see any Ziyang Taoist Temple. Brother Bai, are you sure there is a hidden master here? "
The scholar in white next to him chuckled lightly and said, "If you don't believe it, just go down the mountain. Why bother asking?"
Zhan Zhao frowned and immediately turned his head away, no longer arguing with Bai Yutang.
The two walked side by side, and soon they were halfway up the mountain.
Bai Yutang jumped up to the tree, looked up, and then said with a smile: "Look, it's right in front!"
Zhan Zhao was refreshed and quickly jumped to Bai Yutang's side. He looked up but saw nothing.
He frowned and asked again: "Brother Bai, are you sure there is something there?"
This time, it was Bai Yutang's turn to look stunned.
He looked at the Taoist temple shrouded in clouds and mist in front of him, then at Zhan Zhao who looked unfaithful next to him, and touched his chin thoughtfully.
"Could it be...a deception?"
Thinking of this, Bai Yutang couldn't help but cast his eyes on the finger-sized jade gourd on his waist.
That was a gift Xu Xiaodi gave to himself on behalf of his master when he was a guest at Ziyang Temple last time.
At that time, Bai Yutang didn't think much about it, but looking at it now, this gift seemed to have a deeper meaning.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Yutang took off the jade gourd from his waist, raised his hand and hung it on the treetop, then turned his head to look, and found that the Taoist temple that had been looming among the clouds and mist had indeed disappeared.
"I see!"
A smile appeared on Bai Yutang's face, and he quickly picked off the jade gourd and threw it to Zhan Zhao.
"Brother Zhan, continue!"
"..."
Zhan Zhao reached out to take it, looked at the jade gourd in his hand with some confusion, and then looked up again.
"Huh?!" Zhan Zhao's pupils shrank and he looked at the Taoist temple that suddenly appeared in front of him in shock, "What's going on?"
Bai Yutang laughed loudly, feeling extremely satisfied with Zhan Zhao's reaction and expression.
He raised his hand to take back the jade gourd, hung it on his waist, and then said calmly in Zhan Zhao's surprised eyes: "I told you a long time ago, what you and I are going to see today is the real hidden master in this world." people."
"Since he is a reclusive master, he naturally cannot be easily disturbed by the outside world..."
Zhan Zhao understood and pondered: "You mean, there is a Qimen formation here to cover up the Taoist temple?"
Bai Yutang nodded and said: "Yes, this jade gourd is the qualification for visiting the house and the certificate to detect the formation. To put it bluntly, if Bai didn't bring you here today, even if you got the address from Bai, I’m afraid I won’t be able to see that Taoist priest!”
Hearing Bai Yutang's words, Zhan Zhao was filled with emotion and joy.
With a straight face on his face, he immediately bowed his hands to Bai Yutang on the tree and thanked him for his willingness to lead the way for him regardless of past grudges.
Bai Yutang shook his head and said calmly: "Bai is willing to be the recommender because Mr. Bao is upright and honest, and he is a Qingtian master who truly works for the people. If you are truly grateful, you don't have to thank me. Go and thank Ding Fei." Let the voice of the people be with the people of the world!”
After saying that, Bai Yutang took a step forward and landed lightly on the mountain road.
"Follow closely. If you are fascinated by the formation, don't blame me for not reminding you..."
Zhan Zhao looked deeply at Bai Yutang's back, then jumped up and followed him.
Not long after, the two of them reached the top of the mountain. In Bai Yutang's eyes, the place was surrounded by pines and cypresses, and the scenery was very beautiful. There was an open space in the forest, and in it stood the Ziyang Taoist Temple, which he had visited many times before.
But in Zhan Zhao's eyes, this place is full of pines and cypresses, surrounded by clouds and mist. Once you enter, the clouds and mist become thicker, and the visible area is no more than three steps away. There is no open space in the forest at all, let alone any courtyard walls or Taoist temples.
However, given his previous experience, Zhan Zhao was not doubtful and just followed Bai Yutang closely.
After walking through the clouds and mist, Bai Yutang suddenly stopped, raised his head and said, "This is it!"
Zhan Zhao followed his gaze, but could only see tall trees.
Bai Yutang didn't pay attention to Zhan Zhao's actions, and immediately walked forward and knocked gently on the door.
"……coming!"
A slightly childish voice came, as if it came from outside, yet seemed to be right in front of you.
Zhan Zhao was startled for a moment, and then his eyes were blurred and his expression was in a trance. When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but take a step back, widened his eyes, and looked at the brown wooden door that suddenly appeared in front of him with a look of surprise.
Bai Yutang noticed his expression and immediately asked curiously: "Brother Zhan, can you see it?"
Zhan Zhao nodded subconsciously, his surprised eyes still fixed on the door that was so close.
He couldn't understand why he couldn't see the gate when it was so close to him.
"Creak——"
With a soft sound, the courtyard door was pushed open by a pair of big hands.
Zhan Zhao came back to his senses and looked up, only to see a tall and handsome young man appear at the door. He looked at Bai Yutang and said in surprise: "Brother Bai, why are you here!"
Bai Yutang smiled and said: "I have nothing to do. I was passing by here and thought I would come and see you..."
"Really?" The young man looked suspicious and glanced at the man behind Bai Yutang, "Then who is he?"
Bai Yutang sighed, spread his hands helplessly and said: "Okay, you found out. You are getting harder and harder to deceive. You didn't doubt my words before!"
The young man rolled his eyes and said unhappily: "You're welcome. Brother Bai has trained you well."
Bai Yutang's expression was gone, and he said with a smile: "It's better to be deceived by me than to be deceived by bad people in the future!"
"Xu Xiaodi, I'm doing this for your own good!"
Xu Xian pulled the corner of his mouth and cast his eyes to Zhan Zhao behind him.
"So who is he..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Xian was slightly startled, as if he recognized this face.
"Southern Hero Zhan Zhao?!"
Hearing Xu Xian's exclamation, Zhan Zhao was stunned, and then hurriedly bowed and said: "It's me."
Xu Xian came back to his senses, widened his eyes, looked at Bai Yutang and said: "Why did you bring him here?"
Bai Yutang sighed and whispered: "It's my fault to bring someone here rashly, but please believe that I have my reasons. I wonder if your master is here now?"
Hearing this, Zhan Zhao was slightly startled, and quickly swallowed the words that he had not yet said.
Fortunately, fortunately, I almost thought this young man was a master. If I really said it, wouldn't Bai Yutang laugh at me?
Zhan Zhao thought with relief in his heart.
At the same time, Xu Xian looked at Zhan Zhao who was expectant, and then looked at Bai Yutang who was serious, frowned and said: "Are you here to see my master?"
Zhan Zhao nodded repeatedly: "Yes."
Xu Xian shook his head and said: "That's a pity, my master hasn't come out of retreat yet, if you two want to see him, you may have to wait for a long time."
Bai Yutang was stunned for a moment, frowned and said: "Still in retreat?"
Xu Xian nodded and said: "Yes, it's been three months."
"Ah?" Bai Yutang looked worried, "What should I do..."
Xu Xian frowned and asked: "Brother Bai, what's the matter, tell me."
Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at each other, the latter sighed and told everything that happened to Bao Gong.
After hearing this, Xu Xian stood there in a daze. After a long time, he came back to his senses and asked with trembling lips: "Is it... that Bao Gong?"
Bai Yutang looked at his expression and thought there was a play, so he smiled and said: "Who else could it be?"
Xu Xian looked anxious and said immediately: "Why didn't you say it earlier? Since Bao Gong is in trouble, how can we just stand by and watch? Brothers, you come in and sit down first, I will go and call Master out of seclusion!"
After saying that, Xu Xian turned around and ran, and he didn't even close the door, and disappeared in front of the two of them.
Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at each other.
After a moment, Bai Yutang said with emotion: "Bao Gong's name is still useful!"
Zhan Zhao smiled and said softly: "Bao Gong cares about the people, and the people naturally care about Bao Gong. Brother Bai, didn't you come all the way to Kaifeng for Bao Gong and risk being arrested by me to offer advice?"
Bai Yutang glanced at him and snorted: "Don't be so proud, Bao Gong, what does it have to do with you!"
After that, he took a step and stepped into the Taoist temple.
Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, followed closely, and entered the temple under the guidance of Bai Yutang.
When he arrived at the temple, Zhan Zhao followed the local customs and worshipped the Three Pure Ones with Bai Yutong. Then he looked up and suddenly found that this Ziyang Temple seemed to be slightly different from other Taoist temples.
What puzzled Zhan Zhao the most was the tablet that was placed side by side with the portraits of the Three Pure Ones.
"System...?"
Zhan Zhao read out the name on the tablet and wondered, "Who is this person? How can he be ranked with the Three Pure Ones?"
Bai Yutang followed his gaze and said casually, "Maybe he is the founder of Ziyang Temple..."
Zhan Zhao nodded thoughtfully, thinking that Bai Yutang's guess coincided with his.
The two walked past the statues of the Three Pure Ones, walked into the room, sat down on the wooden chairs, and waited quietly for Xu Xian's actions.
Not long after, two different footsteps came from outside the door.
Zhan Zhao looked over and saw a tall Taoist priest walking into the room. He was wearing a purple cloud-patterned Taoist robe, suede black boots, and a flowing cloud jade belt around his waist. His eyes were bright and restrained, and his temperament was extraordinary. He was indeed a Taoist master with a fairy-like style.
——Zhan Zhao wanted to praise him like this, but when he saw the face of the purple-robed Taoist priest, he suddenly froze and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"...It's you?!"
