Note: Some book friends suggested that I ask for votes instead of pretending to be aloof and asking for nothing, otherwise I will rush into the street sooner or later. 8 w`w=w-．

=In this case...then I will shamelessly ask for recommendation votes. From now on, I will ask for recommendation votes probably every ten chapters, and they will all be about this content.

The carriage moved forward leisurely and in no hurry. This place is more than a hundred miles away from Nagato, Qing Dynasty. In any case, we can't reach it today, so we might as well take a leisurely journey.

From time to time, a carriage passed by, and the people on the carriage turned their heads curiously to take a look at the young man leaning on the carriage, exclaiming in amazement.

The scenery on both sides of the official road changes. At first, you can still see residential farmland, but after traveling for more than ten miles, it returns to a green mountain, green water and dense forest.

Li Xianyuan leaned against the carriage, playing with a ball of awe-inspiring energy in his hand. It was a pity that he didn't learn to fight with words before leaving, otherwise he would have been able to protect himself a little more.

The sky is getting darker, the sunset is hanging, the sky is burning with clouds, and everything is coated with a layer of dark red. It is expected that the rain will be heavy.

We have just traveled more than fifty miles. Although we can travel at night, looking at the burning clouds, it is expected that the rain will be heavy at night.

After traveling a few miles further, they saw a dirt road branching off from the official road. Li Xianyuan pulled the reins and the carriage turned toward the path.

The place where people walk is the road. This dirt road extends, and I think there are people living in front of it.

It's just that Li Xianyuan guessed wrong. Walking along the path in the forest, it became more desolate and overgrown with weeds.

Although the sky was dark, he could still see things. Li Xianyuan still had time to turn around and return to the official road. But he didn't know what he was thinking, but his expression remained calm and he continued to move forward.

The setting sun disappeared, and the sunset glow hung scattered in the sky. When the surroundings were dim, I finally saw a continuous white wall in front of me. ﹎ ＿8 w·w·w-.

-

This is a large courtyard with a radius of several acres. The poles are waist-deep and cover the path.

The carriage slowed down and came to the main gate. The two gates were leaning crookedly and the red paint was gone.

Looking in through the gate, the courtyard is overgrown with weeds, quiet and desolate.

Perhaps because of the boldness of an expert, Li Xianyuan jumped out of the carriage, untied the horse, held the reins and stepped into the threshold.

The weeds covering his calves were rustling and falling to both sides. Li Xianyuan stopped in front of the main hall, tied the horse to the column outside the courtyard, and stepped into the dark main hall alone.

laugh--

A small firelight lit up, and Li Xianyuan walked around the hall holding the fire fold.

The weak flames swayed, making the side of Li Xianyuan's face tremble.

This place is probably an abandoned temple. There is an offering table but no statues of gods.

The ground was littered with footprints and covered with a layer of dust. There was also an extinguished bonfire, obviously someone had camped here.

Li Xianyuan returned to the courtyard, took some dead branches and hay, held them in the hall, placed them on the bonfire, and lit them.

There was a small flame at first, and then it gradually enlarged until it burned brightly and illuminated the entire main hall.

Li Xianyuan put out the book and suddenly felt something strange, as if he was being stared at. He couldn't help but turn his head to look.

Turning his head, Li Xianyuan stared at him in the darkness with a huge head. As the firelight swayed, his ugly face was distorted. Bar﹏w`w-w=.

-A pair of eyes rolling around.

Li Xianyuan frowned slightly, but instead of being surprised, he took out a burning stick from the bonfire and walked over with it.

The head gradually appeared hidden in the darkness. It turned out to be a stone statue's head, with its neck broken and dumped here. Li Xianyuan couldn't tell who the statue was. But the head was full of bumps, so he thought it was a Buddha.

Li Xianyuan turned to look at the altar, but it was empty.

The Buddha statue only has the head and the body is missing?

Li Xianyuan glanced at the Buddhist hall. There was no cover and everything was in full view. There was only one main door for the exit.

He turned around and walked back, holding a torch and going out. The sky above his head was as dark as ink, and there was no moonlight. The dark clouds came very quickly.

The weather was a bit dull, everything was lonely, even the sounds of animals and insects no longer existed, it was very depressing. The only sound was the crackling of the bonfire in the Buddhist hall.

The horse snorted uneasily, and Li Xianyuan raised his hand to stroke his hair to calm it down.

Two paths lead out from the side of the main hall. It seems that there is a room for monks to eat and live behind the Buddhist hall. But it was already dark, and Li Xianyuan did not explore it.

A sudden flash of lightning illuminated the entire temple.

Except for the firelight in the Buddhist hall where Li Xianyuan was, there was darkness and silence behind it. The cool atmosphere made it impossible for people to associate it with the generous and peaceful temple.

Not long after, there was heavy thunder, which actually made the place seem more lively. Li Xianyuan untied the reins and let the horse enter the Buddhist hall. Suddenly, he saw a pair of couplets written on the painted red pillars on both sides of the door.

Put the torch up and you'll see——

First couplet: The little devil in the temple has a big wind

Second line: Chi Qian Wang Ba Duo

The couplets look quite new and are incompatible with the surroundings. I think they were written by someone later.

The person who wrote this couplet is an interesting person. I just don’t know if it is a metaphor for something.

Li Xianyuan closed his eyes and opened them in the next breath. An aura of awe suddenly erupted all over his body, spreading and rippling around him. In the blink of an eye, it had spread throughout the courtyard of the Buddhist temple, and faded and disappeared after touching the white wall.

"There's nothing strange. Is it because I'm overthinking it, or are those brats still in the future..." Li Xianyuan murmured. His total aura of awe-inspiring energy was a bit more than that of a scholar, and his actions just now were only two-tenths less. He could recover in one night.

.

Lightning flashes in the sky became more frequent, thunder snakes snaked their way in and out of the thick clouds, and thunder exploded from time to time.

In the Buddhist hall, Li Xianyuan sat by the bonfire, found some clean branches and skewered them on the dry cakes, then put them on the fire and roasted them slowly.

The aroma of grains filled the air, and a horse's face came close to Li Xianyuan's head. The horse smelled the aroma and couldn't help but come over.

Li Xianyuan took back the branch, broke the dried round cake into two halves, and fed the other half to the horse.

At this moment, Li Xianyuan suddenly looked outside the door.

The previous continuous thunder disappeared. For a moment, there was only the crackling of bonfires in the world, and the next moment——

Wow——

The heavy rain poured down, covering the sky without any warning. Even Li Xianyuan felt a few drops of rain being swept by the wind and hitting his face.

At the same time, a figure ran quickly from outside the door into the courtyard and rushed into the Buddhist hall, covered with moisture.

This man is a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old. He is wearing a soaked long robe, a scholar's scarf on his head, and a bamboo basket behind him. He looks more like a scholar than Li Xianyuan.

"This... brother, a villager in Xiashan Village is a boy. He ran in when he saw a temple here. I wonder if you can let me take shelter from the rain..." The young man chewed the words with a sour and scholarly tone.

Li Xianyuan did not answer, but a ray of awe-inspiring aura came out, circled the young man several times, and flew back into the center of his eyebrows.

no problem.

This teaching is a bit new. Li Xianyuan dared to come here, firstly because of his nature, and secondly because he knew he was safe. But this young man, just an ordinary guy, dared to run into this barren mountain and ruin a Buddhist temple.

"Awesome spirit!" the young man screamed, just as thunder exploded outside, causing the doors and windows to tremble. The young man shrank his neck in fright, and said again: "Young man has seen your senior."

He had never seen the world and probably regarded Li Xianyuan as a great Confucian.

Seeing him hugging his shoulders, Li Xianyuan shuddered slightly and nodded slightly: "Sit down."

"Thank you, senior." The young man was polite and sat down cautiously, with his back to the door. The cold wind was blocked by him.

The bonfire was warming up, and he felt a little warmer. The young man took off the bamboo stand on his back, took out a book, smiled at Li Xianyuan, and read through it carefully, looking like a diligent student.

The title of the book is Journey to the West.

Li Xianyuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
