The old farmer was kind-hearted and pointed out a way for them: "You enter the village, go to the end of the village and then turn onto a mountain road. Walk up the mountain for an hour and you will see a big lake with a suspension bridge. After the suspension bridge, you will see the Lake Cloud Temple. .”
He also explained: "The mountain road is small and cannot pass the mule cart, so you have to walk. The mule cart can be left under the big pine tree in the village, and it will cost you some food or five cents. Don't worry, there are villagers watching over you. No one will take away the mule cart. People in this town often come to the temple for medical treatment. Those who come by car will leave them in the village and they have never been lost."
Gu Jinli paused, the owner of Huyun Temple can also see a doctor.
She took two bean dregs cakes from the basket, opened the green cloth curtain, and handed them to the old farmer: "Uncle, thank you very much. This is food from our hometown. Take it and try it."
The old farmer looked at the bean dregs cake that was fried to a golden color and exuded a fresh aroma, and he took it with a smile: "Then I'm welcome."
He then said: "My name is Bai Pengzi, and the head of our Dasong Village is my brother. When you go to herd the mule cart, just say my name to Sanwa."
"Hey, thank you very much, Uncle Bai." Gu Jinan drove the car along the road pointed by Bai Pengzi, and soon arrived under the big pine tree in the middle of the village.
Under the pine trees, two carts and an ox cart have been parked. It seems that there are many people going to Huyun Temple to see the doctor.
Gu Jinli and the others got out of the car and told the villager who was guarding the vehicle Bai Pengzi's name. The man said, "Since Uncle Piaozi has spoken, you can just give him five cents. You don't have to pay for the mule's fodder."
Gu Jinan said with a smile: "We have brought some food to send to Huyun Temple, but the mules will not be stored there. We will use them to transport things."
Gu Dashan had quickly untied the mule cart and moved the things onto the mule. After giving Bai Sanwa five cents, the group of five people walked towards the depths of Xiaoya Mountain.
Gu Jinli was walking and taking note of the route, and found that Xiaoya Mountain has many hidden mountains, especially lush trees and grasses. As soon as he entered the mountain, he saw many common herbs on the roadside.
Xiaoyashan is a good place for growing medicinal materials.
The five of them led the mules and walked for an hour on the winding path in the mountains. They reached the suspension bridge at noon and walked for another two-quarters of an hour before arriving at Huyun Temple.
Huyun Temple is a compound in the mountains.
The gate of the courtyard was closed and unattended. Gu Daya knocked on the door. After a few bangs, the door creaked open. A little girl wearing a gray robe came out to open the door. When she saw them, she asked: "Are there any donors here?" Who are you looking for? What are you looking for?"
He also said: "Our Huyun Temple is a place of spiritual cultivation for the masters. It is not subject to the incense of the villagers. If you want to offer incense and worship the immortals, please go to other Taoist temples."
Gu Jinli smiled: "How can Guanli's livelihood be maintained without the support of the villagers?"
The little girl said: "Selling herbal medicines. We in Huyun Temple make a living by selling herbal medicines."
This is the first time Gu Jinli has heard such remarks, which is very interesting.
Mr. Qin was well-informed and said: "I have been to the capital before and heard that some Taoist temples in the suburbs do not accept incense. If you open the door to welcome incense from all directions, it will disturb the tranquility in the temple."
Taoist temples like this usually have property, so they don’t care about incense, they just want to practice pure cultivation.
Gu Jinli responded to what the little girl said before: "Are we here to see the Guanzhu? We are looking for her to discuss some matters in Qingfu Town."
He was also afraid that the owner of the temple would disappear, so he added: "It was Grandpa Mi who told us the address of Huyun Temple."
“I see, the two female donors please come in, and the other donors please wait outside.” said the little girl.
Gu Dashan and the others stayed behind, while Gu Jinli and Gu Daya led the mules and followed the little girl into the Taoist temple.
The little girl took them to a sitting room next to the gate and poured them two bowls of water: "You guys sit down first, and I will go to the small road to inform you." The little girl went there for a long time, half an hour. Having just returned, Gu Daya was a little scared: "Why have you been gone for so long? There can't be anything... fishy, right?"
Gu Jinli looked at the valuable herbs growing in the yard and said with a smile, "Don't worry, aunt, it'll be fine."
Those herbs include ginseng, dendrobium, and Polygonum multiflorum, which can cost dozens or hundreds of taels of silver. Huyun Temple has so much wealth, and it is impossible for them to value their wealth in commoners.
After hearing this, Gu Daya was still a little worried. After all, it was his first time here and he didn't know what was going on inside the temple.
After another two quarters of an hour, the little girl finally came back and said to them: "The master of the temple has finished his work and can see you. Please come with Xiaodao."
Gu Jinli and Gu Daya got up, led the mules placed in the yard, and followed the little girl toward the depths of the Taoist temple.
Gu Daya held Gu Jinli's hand tightly and whispered to her: "Don't let go. If something happens, let's run away."
Gu Jinli nodded: "Okay."
Huyun Temple is very big. Gu Jinli and the others walked for a long time and saw many people on the road. The little girl said: "They are all female donors who come to see the doctor. They are very pitiful."
Master said that the world has too many restrictions on women. Many women are sick and cannot go to the hospital to ask a doctor to see a doctor, so they keep dragging them away. Many people are dragged to death in this way.
As for the female Taoists at Huyun Temple, in addition to practicing pure cultivation, they also need to study medicine so that they can treat sick women when they encounter them.
"Here we are." The little girl took them to a small courtyard, opened the door of the small courtyard, and walked in.
In the yard, the fragrance of medicine lingers, and there are two women brewing medicine. One of them is older and looks like she is in her fifties.
"Master, we've brought him here." The little girl shouted to the old man, then turned to them and said, "This is the master of our Huyun Temple, whose surname is Hu, the person you are looking for."
Hearing this, the master of the temple turned to look at them and asked, "What's wrong with Mr. Mi? But he's in trouble?"
Mi Xiaozi?
Gu Jinli was shocked. This viewer looked much younger than Mr. Mi.
When the temple owner saw this, he smiled slightly, feeling like he was relegated to an immortal in the distant mountains: "I am already in my seventies, and I grew up in the temple with Mi Xiaozi's mother."
“Old god.” Gu Jinli blurted out. He was well-maintained. He was in his seventies and looked like he was in his fifties.
Afraid that his words would offend the viewer, he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Master, Grandpa Mi and his wife are fine. I'm here today for another matter."
She introduced herself: "Junior Gu Jinli, nickname is Xiaoyu, this is my aunt. We escaped from Gaoshui County, Long'an Prefecture in the northwest. Now we are doing a small business in Qingfu Town. The business has become big and I want to buy one. Shop, but all the shops in town are owned, so we want to buy a piece of land and build our own shop."
“You are interested in the Lu family’s land,” the viewer said.
Gu Jinli nodded: "Yes, so I came to ask the temple master to sell us the land."
He added: "We don't want too much, we just need a few acres of land to build two shops."
