C13 Deep mountain taoist temple aunt lin
In an instant, I felt that my good days were about to come. Although I didn't have a good impression of Taoist Xu Zhu, my life in the Taoist temple should be quite abundant with such a senior sister.
From time to time, I turned my head to look at Hong Xi. I noticed that she was still burning yellow paper when she left, so I was a little confused. However, Hong Xi could not speak, so I asked Dao Zhuan what was going on.
After all, this is an old cemetery, and if a few of us were to make a ruckus here, it might cause some dirty things to become unhappy.
So that's how it is, to think that Hong Xi told me to walk in front because she felt embarrassed to say that I was dragging her back. She suddenly felt a little awkward in her heart.
We walked around the forest and saw a very old shingle house. From the looks of it, this was the inn from last night. How come it suddenly turned into ruins?
Taoist False Bamboo led us into the dilapidated house and took the luggage we had left behind. As we passed by the main hall, I couldn't help but take a look inside and see that the lipstick coffin was still there, lying quietly in the main room!
My back suddenly turned cold, and I immediately asked what was going on. The change in the house wasn't strange, but the coffin was right here, so Taoist Xu Zhu didn't even care?
Taoist Xu Zhu just glanced at the coffin, then he looked at me thoughtfully, his eyes full of evil, saying, what needs to be done, sooner or later, just leave it here for now.
Then, Taoist Xu Zhu took us away and said loudly, "Disciple, our Taoist temple is in the mountain across the way. There is only one path, and the Taoist temple is the only house in the mountain. Don't look for the wrong one in the future."
"Master, I can hear you." I could feel his voice shouting a little too loudly, as if he was afraid of being overheard.
"It's good that you can hear me."
The three of us quickly walked out of the forest and arrived at a small mountain village. On the east side of the mountain village, there is a very narrow concrete road that goes all the way up the mountain.
We followed the cement road for almost an hour until we came to a small, saddle-shaped canyon, green with small but dense trees. In the middle of the hall was a large, tiled wooden house. This was the monastery.
There's a stream to the left of the monastery, and it looks like it's really green mountains and water. At this moment, not long after dawn, the birds in the mountain are still chirping, and the scene is very original. Especially, when I saw the fat pigs in the courtyard, I felt that this kind of life is really good.
Passing by the stream, Daoist Xu Zhu said, "Ahead of us is our home. There are fish in this stream. I like to eat fish." Also, your senior sister likes to sit by the stream and do laundry. Tomorrow, the two of you will come together.
As Taoist Xu Zhu spoke, his eyes looked at Hong Xi meaningfully. Hong Xi nodded and looked at me thoughtfully. I felt that it was a bit strange. As for what it was, I was unable to say.
After entering the courtyard, Daoist Void Bamboo took off his daoist robe and said that he wanted to sleep. He told Hong Xi to make breakfast before calling him, and also specifically warned me not to enter his room.
The door and windows were all pushed to the sides, just like those houses in the old days in Japan. The only disadvantage was that it was hard to guard against thieves, which was already apparent when they entered the house.
I asked if there was a key, Hong Xi shook her head, took out a pen and wrote in my hand: "Master is used to it."
I nodded my head. Looks like Taoist Xu Zhu often comes home late. He didn't bring his key and directly broke through the window into the house. I have gotten used to it by now.
After entering the room, Hong Xi took a new window screen and changed into it, then without resting, she got a wet towel and began to clean the floor. After entering the room, Hong Xi took a new window screen and changed it, and without resting, she got a wet towel and began to wipe the floor again.
I followed Hong Xi and cleaned the house for a long time. After cleaning it, she went to cook again. I didn't know how to cook and there weren't any televisions in the house.
After playing with the water beside the stream for a while, Hong Xi came over and waved at me. I think it was time to eat. When we went back to the house, Hong Xi was about to knock on the door of Taoist Xu Zhu and ask him to eat.
I hurriedly stopped her. As a new disciple, I had to make people have a better impression of me, even if it was Taoist Xu Zhu. Thus, I pushed open the door and prepared to call him Taoist Xu Zhu.
His eyes were fixed on the screen of a laptop, and his eyes were filled with a wretched look. The moment I entered the room, he suddenly turned off the computer as if he had been electrocuted, then coughed twice and told me to go out first. He followed me.
Taoist Xu Zhu told me not to rush to eat and to go fish a fish in the river first. He also said that when Rainbow Dawn first came here, she would find a way to fish in the cold, and I could not break the rules.
I asked him what the rules were and he said to ignore them.
Helplessly, I went out the door. After handing it to me, she took out a pen and a notebook. She wrote: "Master likes to eat fish, but your fish is not for him to eat. It's a little bit small so you can eat it later."
After she finished writing, she looked at me from the side. It was not convenient for me to communicate, so I didn't ask her about it. I took the net and searched under the stream for fish. After searching for a long time, I caught a small fish seedling and asked Hong Xi if it was possible.
Rainbow nodded, then turned around and walked towards the yard.
Unexpectedly, the fish caught, Xuzhu Taoist still won't let me eat, took me to the backyard. There were a lot of chickens in the backyard. He said, "The chickens can save lives, the pigs can feed people, and your senior sister is responsible for the pigs in the backyard. I'll leave the chickens in your hands. Remember to take care of your saving grace!"
Damn, it seems like this Taoist Xu Zhu is testing my patience?
After I fed the chicken, he finally called me to eat. However, when I walked into the room, I saw that there was no food at all. The dishes had all been cleaned up by him!
Taoist Xu Zhu stretched his body and ignored me as he entered the house, leaving me in a daze, unsure of what to do.
Fortunately, Hong Xi smiled at me and then brought me to the kitchen. She secretly left some food for me and wrote in her book, "Don't be angry. Master treats her new disciple like this. She will be fine in a few days."
I had already expected this to happen, so I didn't bother about it. I thanked Hong Xi, squatted at the entrance of the kitchen, and wolfed it down. After all, during the past few days of Taoist Xu Zhu's journey, I had eaten like a cat, so saying that I wasn't hungry was just a lie.
Hong Xi sat beside me with her hands around her waist, waiting for me to finish eating before she collected the dishes and washed them. What a hardworking little girl.
In the afternoon, Rainbow Dawn patiently brought me around, writing down all the paths around the monastery and some places I couldn't go to. She wrote them down in a book for me in a forest at the back of the mountain, called 'High Forest', which is the most terrifying forbidden land on the mountain. Rainbow Dawn said that it used to be a graveyard, but later on there was a thunder in the sky and the grave inside was directly split into several piles.
I asked what the consequences would be, she wrote. You'll know soon enough, Master will tell you at night.
In the evening, Daoist Priest Xu Zhu actually came out of his room and told me, "In the back of the high forest, 'aunt' appeared. You must be careful."
I looked at Hong Xi with questioning eyes, but she mistook me for asking my great-aunt. She wrote in her notebook: "For short, my great-aunt means an old lady with a strange illness. They are the same as ghosts, but they have to eat human fingers and toes, and only by stuffing fish bones into her mouth can they get rid of them."
I felt a chill behind my back. When I was a child, I heard the old people say that aunt bear was not called aunt but rather aunt bear, but the legend said that aunt bear was either a ghost or a talking bear.
I don't know why, but Hong Xi also didn't care about me and went to sleep. I sat alone in the living room, listening to the wild beasts in the mountains, and was terrified; this was a desolate mountain, and the house was very fragile. If I stayed here for too long, the light would attract the wild beasts.
So I walked up to the fang-bamboo priest's door and asked him where my room was, and he said, Next to the chicken coop in the backyard is my room. I was stunned for a moment, then went to the back yard and looked at the side of the chicken coop. How could I possibly live here? It was clearly an improved version of the chicken coop with a blanket and bed inside.
I gave up. With such a big house, I was allowed to live in such a shitty house, and I could not do anything about it. So when I arrived at the door of Taoist Xu Zhu's house, I began to complain, saying that I wanted a good house, but there was no door in the back, so what would I do if the wild beasts from the mountains came?
Who would have thought that after knocking on his door, he would become impatient. He came out to look at me and said snappily, "Alright, little brat, I originally wanted to let you rest for a day. Since you're so anxious, immediately go to the tall forest to sleep, you're not allowed to come back until daybreak!"
