Ning Ruirui looked back at the old Taoist priest and couldn't help but stop.
"Ah, this old Taoist priest, do you know Anxin Guan?"
Shi Chun was happy, finally he no longer had to search aimlessly.
The old Taoist laughed and said with a kind face: "Of course the old Taoist knows. The old Taoist has been a close friend of Taoist Qiu, the master of Anxin Temple for many years. This time, he was invited by him to come over as a guest."
"May I ask who the old Taoist priest is?"
Ning Ruirui looked at the old Taoist priest and couldn't help but ask about his identity.
The old Taoist priest retracted the fly whisk from his wrist, smiled and shouted to the Infinite Heavenly Lord, and then said: "The old Taoist is Gu Qingyan, the temple master of the Qingniu Palace in Laoshan. You can call me Gu Laodao. This is my youngest disciple, named Xiaochan.
.
Come, come, come, I have seen two female Bodhisattvas."
The young Taoist priest had a shy expression on his face and hid behind the old Taoist priest. He only dared to glance at Ning Ruirui and Shi Chun secretly from time to time.
"Hey, the little Taoist priest looks very cute. How old is he?"
Shi Chun took two steps forward, wanting to tease the child, but as soon as he got close to the little Taoist priest, he suddenly bared his teeth and made a face at Shi Chun.
"Haha, this girl, you may have scared him."
Gu Laodao hugged the little Taoist priest into his arms and explained with a smile: "He has been in the Taoist temple since he was born. He has never been out and has never seen a stranger, so he is very timid. Please forgive me."
"It's okay, it's okay, I was a little abrupt."
Shi Chun stuck out his tongue and said with some embarrassment.
Gu Laodao asked politely and politely: "I wonder what you call the two girls?"
"My name is Ning Ruirui, and this is my sister Shi Chun."
Ning Ruirui immediately introduced herself and Shi Chun.
"It turns out to be Miss Ning and Miss Shi."
Gu Laodao walked forward slowly and walked to a position half a step ahead of Ning Ruirui, "You two girls, come with me, let's go to An Xin Guan together." Ning Ruirui said with a smile: "We have Lao Taoist Priest to lead the way.
"
"You're welcome."
Gu Laodao nodded slightly and asked casually: "I wonder why the two girls want to go to Anxin Temple?"
"I was entrusted by someone to give you something to An Xin Guan."
Ning Ruirui answered vaguely.
Although there was some confusion on Daochang Gu's face, he didn't ask any more questions. After all, this was someone else's business. He just smiled and said: "Anxin Guan was still somewhat famous sixty or seventy years ago, but it declined after some changes.
Only those of us who practice Taoism still remember it, but ordinary people have forgotten it long ago, so you may not get any results from asking the villagers."
"This is a little strange."
Ning Ruirui was a little puzzled, "Normally, if An An Guan is nearby, the people in the Guan will have to live in a land of food, rice, oil and salt. Isn't there any reason not to deal with the nearby villagers?"
"Because in the eyes of nearby villagers, it is not called Anxin Guan at all."
Gu Laodao explained with a smile, "As early as thirty years ago, the local area wanted to integrate the development of tourism, so all nearby temples and Taoist temples were unified planned, and for the convenience of management, they were all placed under the banner of Chongyang Palace.
Pi Ru An An Guan became the Yingxian Hall among the eighteen halls at the southern foot of Chongyang Palace.
Thirty years have passed, and if you say An An Guan, of course no one knows about it, but if you say Yingxian Palace, someone will know about its safekeeping."
"It turns out there is such a story in [District 8 www.dibaquxsw.top]."
Ning Ruirui nodded and said casually: "Sure enough, things have changed. I heard that Anxin Guan seemed to be very famous a hundred years ago."
"Not only is he famous, it is like thunder in his ears."
Gu Laodao raised his eyelids slightly, looked forward, and said with emotion: "Back then, Anxin Guan was a holy place for practitioners of the Taoism. Whether it is the current Master Qiu or the former Master, they are all
A Taoist master with a great reputation for a while.
such a pity."
"Is there a Taoist priest named Ge in An An Guan?"
Ning Ruirui couldn't help but ask.
"The surname is Ge?"
Gu Laodao was stunned for a moment, with a look of hesitation on his face, "I have never heard of this. When we get to Anxin Guan, you can ask Guanzhu Qiu personally."
Ning Ruirui didn't think much about it. After all, it was more than a hundred years ago when Daoist Ge stayed in Anxin Guan, and he entered the secret realm of the seabed not long after that. The Daoist Gu in front of her was only about seventy years old.
It’s normal if you haven’t heard of it.
After walking for a while and turning a few corners, Gu Laodao suddenly raised his hand and pointed: "We're right ahead."
"Is it that small, dilapidated house?"
Shi Chun raised his eyes and said slightly disappointedly: "It doesn't look like a place where an expert lives."
"Haha, Miss Shi, what you said is wrong."
Gu Laodao smiled faintly and explained: "Exalted people in Taoism don't care about where they live, drink, or dress. If they really live in a high-rise building, how can they still practice?"
Shi Chun disagreed with Gu Laodao's point of view: "It doesn't matter where a real master lives."
"I didn't expect that Miss Shi would have such intelligence. She is quite familiar with my fortune-telling."
Gu Laodao glanced at Shi Chun unexpectedly and said with praise.
After turning around a small hillside, the four of them saw a dilapidated courtyard gate.
The courtyard gate seems to be only over two meters high, and most of the surrounding wall has collapsed. Only tree stumps and bamboo branches were used to repair the damage. However, the plaque on the courtyard gate is new, with the words "Yingxian Hall" written on it.
Large characters.
"Those people replaced the plaque with a new one. Why don't they also repair the walls of the house and other things?"
Shi Chun asked with some confusion.
Gu Laodao was quite experienced in this kind of thing, and said with a smile: "Because it costs money to repair the courtyard walls and houses. Besides, except for the Chongyang Palace, which is the most popular place, it can be used as a card, and the rest
If the Taoist temple maintains this appearance, it will make tourists believe that it is the residence of an expert hermit."
"All right."
Shi Chun curled his lips, feeling very disapproving.
Ning Ruirui touched Shi Chun's head and said with a smile: "Let's go in and finish the matter. I'll take you to a lively place to play, okay."
"I don't care."
Shi Chun likes liveliness by nature and really has no interest in such deserted places, but she is also a considerate girl and will not lose her temper because of this.
"Brother Qiu Dao, is he here?
Lao Gu, I’m here to bother you again!”
Gu Laodao laughed loudly while he was still outside the courtyard gate. His voice was so full of energy that people even a mile or two away could probably hear it clearly, not to mention the people in the courtyard.
"He is indeed a monastic."
Ning Ruirui nodded secretly, but she also knew that this Mr. Gu might not have very high cultivation level.
Not long after, a crisp response sounded in the yard, and then a Taoist nun aged sixteen or seventeen was seen running out of the house in a hurry: "It turns out that Grandpa Gu is here. Master and Grandmaster have been waiting for you for a long time."
Woolen cloth!"
"Oh, it's thinking about the heart."
Gu Laodao looked at the little Taoist nun and couldn't help but laugh, "I've troubled you to come and greet us again. I'll probably have to trouble you to cook for us in the next few days."
"If Grandpa Gu and brother Xiaochan can come, it's not too late for me to be happy."
Nianxin Xiaodao girl held Gu Laodao's arm with one hand and held the little Taoist priest's hand with the other hand. When she turned around, she saw Ning Ruirui and Shi Chun and exclaimed: "Ah, there are two more distinguished guests.
Sorry, I didn’t look at it just now, it was really rude.”
"no problem, no problem."
Seeing that the little Taoist nun was about to bow and apologize to them, Ning Ruirui waved her hand: "We are not distinguished guests, we just came to see you, the master, for some business."
"The two sisters are here to see my master. Well, okay, let's go inside first."
The little Taoist nun Nianxin carefully brought Gu Laodao and the little Taoist priest into the main hall, arranged a comfortable bamboo chair for him, and quickly greeted Ning Ruirui and Shi Chun.
"I'm sorry, Master just went out."
The little Taoist nun Nianxin served hot tea to the three adults, and brought a bottle of drink to the little Taoist priest. She said apologetically: "Master is not in good health. He just fell asleep, so I will wake him up."
"Hey, don't call him yet. Since the old man is asleep, we can just wait."
Ning Ruirui often took care of her grandfather when she was at home, so she knew that the old man rarely fell asleep. If he woke him up, he would probably be low energy for the next day.
The little Taoist nun hesitated for a moment, looking only at Gu Laodao, hoping that he could help make an idea.
"Just listen to the two girls."
Gu Laodao drank tea with a smile, "Nianxin, don't be busy, just sit down and talk to Grandpa Gu and me for a while."
"Hey, okay."
The little Taoist nun Nianxin immediately moved a small bench and sat on the edge.
Gu Laodao asked casually: "Where has your master gone?"
"In the morning, Master was practicing in the backyard, but Chongyang Palace called him and said that he was looking for something important."
The little Taoist nun replied thoughtfully: "Master went out without eating. Maybe he will be back soon."
"Over there at Chongyang Palace."
Gu Laodao shook his head, "That's probably about..." After saying this, Gu Laodao suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at Ning Ruirui and Shi Chun, and then changed the subject, "It doesn't matter, let's just wait."
Ning Ruirui obviously felt that Gu Laodao seemed to be somewhat wary of her and Shi Chun, but she didn't know where it came from.
"You haven't asked the names of the two distinguished guests yet?"
The little Taoist nun Nianxin said to Ning Ruirui and Shi Chun at this time.
Shi Chun rushed to answer at this time: "My name is Shi Chun, and this is my sister Ning Ruirui. We have some things that we want to talk to you, the master."
"Ning Ruirui?
Are you Ning Ruirui?"
The little Taoist nun Nianxin looked at Ning Ruirui in surprise, her eyes widened.
"you know me?"
Ning Ruirui was also a little surprised.
"Ah, I don't know him."
The little Taoist nun Nianxin shook her head quickly, but she still explained: "Master told me before he left that a young lady named Ning Ruirui would come over in the next two days, and asked me to greet her well then.
.
I just didn’t expect that you are Miss Ning Ruirui and you are so beautiful."
Ning Ruirui automatically ignored those useless words, directly grasped the key point, and asked doubtfully: "How did your master know that I was coming?"
We need to know that Ning Ruirui went to An Xin Guan. In theory, only she, Xia Tian, and the women around Xia Xia should know about it, and there is no possibility of it being leaked in advance. So how did the An Xin Guan owner know about it?
