Xiao Yu had already walked away. After lying on the ground and watching for a while, the bamboo rat took her child again and ran towards the depths of the bamboo forest.
The master of Qingzhu Temple still didn't come back, and Xiao Yu didn't bother him. Instead, he meditated in a bamboo forest all night. He waited until the afternoon of the next day before rushing to the Taoist temple again.
Most of the hidden doors are caves. They are either on the river, in the forest, in the busy city, or in the mountains and rivers.
There is no fixed place, so every time you want to enter, you must be led by a dedicated person.
Xiao Yu was very lucky this time. He met the so-called temple master at the gate of the Taoist temple.
It's just that the temple leader is not an ordinary person. The other person is actually a Taoist practitioner with a strong pulse.
The other party's cultivation level has also reached the second level, but Xiao Yu sees that his destiny only has eight years left, and he is already in his seventies.
It's no wonder that Guantian Pavilion is also a powerful mountain gate. Even if people guard the entrance to the cave, how can they use ordinary Taoists.
After all, ordinary Taoists cannot enter even if they know where the cave is.
The old Taoist wore a blue robe, his hair tied on top of his head, and carried a bamboo basket containing some picked bamboo shoots and leaves.
The moment Xiao Yu appeared in the opponent's field of vision, the old man hurriedly put down the bamboo basket, walked up to Xiao Yu, and bowed to salute.
"I've met my senior. Yesterday I heard from my disciple that someone was looking for me. I'm waiting here specially today. If there is an expert, senior, please take a seat in the meditation."
The old man was talkative, and he introduced himself to Xiao Yu, and then invited Xiao Yu to come in, but Xiao Yu shook his head and refused.
"I'm looking for you on this trip to visit Guantian Pavilion, and I hope you can introduce me."
Xiao Yu said, took out a green bamboo slip and handed it to the other party.
The old Taoist took it and took a look, his expression changed slightly, because this bamboo slip was not an ordinary bamboo slip, it was the bamboo slip of the highest distinguished guest of Guantian Pavilion, and not many Taoists could own it.
"Senior, come with me..."
The old man handed the bamboo slip to Xiao Yu again, and then took Xiao Yu directly to the rear of the Taoist temple without entering it.
Only then did Xiao Yu see that there was a bamboo forest painting painted on the courtyard wall behind the Taoist temple, and the old man led him to stop beside the courtyard wall.
"This is the entrance to the mountain gate. Senior, please..."
The old man formed a seal with his hands and pointed at the bamboo forest on the wall of the courtyard. The bamboo forest on the wall seemed to come alive, and a path appeared.
"Senior, please..."
The old man stepped back, and Xiao Yu also smiled and stepped forward.
Taking this step, it was like two worlds. The surrounding scene changed, and he actually appeared on the edge of a waterfall.
It was a waterfall fifty or sixty meters high. Below the waterfall was a pool. At this time, several disciples were practicing swordplay by the pool.
The sudden appearance of Xiao Yu shocked the male and female disciples, and then a disciple holding a bamboo sword came forward to ask questions.
"Excuse me, you are a disciple of that mountain. What are you doing here?"
A man who looked young, only in his twenties, looked at Xiao Yu and said with a hint of caution on his face.
"Xiao Yu from Maoshan, invited by Guan Tianyue, is here to be a guest. Please spread the word."
Xiao Yu took out the green bamboo slip again. After the other party looked at it, his expression looked particularly strange, but then he still bowed and saluted.
"Disciples of Guantian Pavilion, I have met my senior.
Senior, go down the river. There is a Rhinoceros Viewing Pond over there, and the Young Pavilion Master is fishing there. We can't get close, so we can't see each other off. I hope you'll forgive me."
The man in green pointed a direction to Xiao Yu with a faint apology on his face.
Xiao Yu was just wanting to go shopping alone, but now that he heard what the other party said, it was exactly what he wanted, so he nodded and said:
"It doesn't matter, I'll just go by myself and say goodbye."
It’s always a little awkward when someone is carrying you. It’s like when you go shopping for clothes and someone is always following you, like they’re watching you steal something. It makes people feel very uncomfortable.
The scenery in Guantian Pavilion is basically the same as that outside. The only difference is that there is an extra waterfall here.
The waterfall is connected to a river. The river water is crystal clear and the visibility is very high. There are various aquatic plants and moss in it, covering every stone. There are fish and shrimps everywhere, making it look leisurely and contented.
On both sides of the river, there are many bamboos growing. The bamboos are not very thick and are sparsely distributed. They are like decorations, scattered in piles on both sides.
And the bamboo here is no longer one color, but there are many kinds, the most common is green, there are also yellow, purple, and rare red.
Green bamboo is basically the norm in China, while yellow, purple and red bamboos are almost never seen by Xiao Yu.
Moreover, those types of bamboo are not very big. The largest bamboos on both sides of the river are only the size of a wine cup, and they are not widely distributed.
It is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the mountains are basically all covered with bamboo, without any miscellaneous trees.
In each large bamboo forest, you can vaguely see the distribution of houses, and the sound of waving bamboo swords can be heard from time to time.
In the distance, there is a blue pool, the size of a football field, like a flawless piece of jasper between heaven and earth, embedded among the mountains.
There is a row of lush purple bamboos on the shore. Under the bamboos sits a man in white. The man is fishing there. It is Guan Tianyue who has been separated from Xiao Yu for a long time.
Guan Tianyue returned to Guantian Pavilion after the opening of Maoshan Mountain, and he never went out again. Xiao Yu originally thought that he was practicing in seclusion, but now it seems that he is living so freely.
Before Xiao Yu came close, Guan Tianyue seemed to be aware of it, then he frowned and said impatiently:
"Didn't I tell you not to disturb me? I haven't been expelled yet. Isn't it difficult to speak?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a fishing line with two fishhook hanging on it flew directly towards Xiao Yu.
But before the fishing line got close, it was bounced back by Xiao Yu's breath.
At the same time, Xiao Yu was still wondering, what did Guan Tianyue mean by what he said just now, and why was he expelled?
For a moment, Xiao Yu felt that Guan Tianyue was in big trouble now.
Xiao Yu is very grateful to Guan Tianyue, because the other person has helped him a lot, but he has not given much feedback.
When the fishing line was blocked, Guan Tianyue seemed a little angry. He suddenly stood up, turned his head, and looked at Xiao Yu with his eyes like a vicious wolf.
However, when he saw Xiao Yu, his expression instantly returned to full surprise.
"Xiao Yu, why are you here? I thought you were a disciple. Come and sit down..."
The anger at the beginning turned into surprise in an instant. Guan Tianyue seemed to be deliberately hiding something, but the words had already been spoken, and now too many disguises could not cover up his panic.
At Guan Tianyue's invitation, Xiao Yu also sat by the lake and picked up the fishing rod. Neither of them spoke.
After a while, Xiao Yu broke the silence first.
"Tell me, what's going on? It seems like your position as the eldest son is no longer guaranteed?"
With the other party's strong character, Xiao Yu probably wouldn't tell the other party if he didn't ask, so he still brought it up.
"It's just a small matter. Some people are giving me trouble, but I can solve it."
Guan Tianyue smiled and looked a little gloomy. Compared with the young master Guantian Pavilion he knew at the beginning, he was completely different.
