Hearing what Lu Qingmei said, Zhou Xiaoze felt that he had really met the right person. Now that she was the guide, everything was much easier.
Lu Qingmei told Zhou Xiaoze that there is Luya Temple at the east foot of Songshan Mountain, where Lu Hong lived in seclusion and practiced cultivation. At that time, Lu Hong built a thatched cottage there. Later, in order to commemorate Lu Hong, later generations built another temple, and Lu Hong
The thatched cottage was renamed Luya Temple.
Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoze said with a smile: "I think the name Lu Hong Thatched Cottage is good. Why should it be called Lu Ya Temple?"
Lu Qingmei smiled and said: "It is said that in his later years, Lu Hong was ordained as a monk, and this is how the Luya Temple came to be!"
"Why did Lu Hong think of cutting off his hair and becoming a monk in his later years?" Zhou Xiaoze asked.
After all, Lu Qingmei is a descendant of the Lu family and lives in the Songshan area. Maybe she can know more about Lu Hong.
Lu Qingmei said with a smile: "I heard stories passed down by people of the older generation. Lu Hong was very famous back then. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty invited him to serve as an official many times, but he declined. At that time, someone wrote a poem praising him: What does it mean to be swept away by the breeze?
There is Lu Hong again in the world."
"In addition to having a wife, Lu Hong also has a young beauty who came to him from the capital because she was envious of his talent and became his disciple."
"Lu Hong fell in love with this female disciple, but the young beauty contracted an incurable disease and died soon after."
"Lu Hong lost all hope for a while. It happened that monks from the nearby Shaolin Temple often came to him to discuss Buddhism. Then he came up with the idea of escaping into Buddhism and became a monk."
Legends are legends, and some things cannot be taken to be true; however, the story told by Lu Qingmei is consistent with what Lu Yaohu said.
Zhou Xiaoze couldn't help but smile after hearing this: "It's a good thing that Lu Hong already had a wife, otherwise, there would be no members of your clan!"
"Yes. However, there are quite a lot of people in our clan. It's just that during the An-Shi Rebellion, many of them fled to other places. I heard that a lineage of people moved to your southern province!" Lu Qingmei said.
Zhou Xiaoze thought of Lu Xianhua, and it seemed that they were indeed of the same origin.
"Okay, let's not talk any more. I'll take you to Luya Temple!" Lu Qingmei said.
Lu Qingmei got on the motorcycle, and Zhou Xiaoze was still sitting behind her.
There is a reservoir dam at the eastern foot of Songshan Mountain, and Luya Temple is built there. Facing north and south, the palaces and pavilions are magnificent. There is a waterfall nearby, which looks like a white stream hanging in the air, rushing down.
The two rushed there. Lu Qingmei stored the motorcycle and led Zhou Xiaoze to the temple.
This Luya Temple has a three-entry building, which was rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty. There are bell tower and drum tower on the east and west sides respectively, both of which are two stories, and there are stairs in the middle that can go up to the second floor.
There are many carvings inside, such as auspicious clouds, coiling dragons, etc., which are really spectacular and are all in the style of the Qing Dynasty.
Zhou Xiaoze wandered around inside for several hours and opened his eyes many times, but he still couldn't find anything he was interested in.
In Zhou Xiaoze's opinion, where Lu Hong sealed his girlfriend, he should be able to sense her presence by searching through his eyes.
What Zhou Xiaoze is looking for now is Lu Hong’s original thatched cottage, but as a result, he finds that almost all the buildings here were built by later generations, and almost all the main objects from the Tang Dynasty have been lost.
When Lu Qingmei saw Zhou Xiaoze's disappointed expression, she asked: "Xiaoze, what do you want to see?"
Zhou Xiaoze sighed and said, "My other purpose here is to take a look at Lu Hong's thatched cottage, but why can't I find it?"
Lu Qingmei said with a smile: "Lu Hong's thatched cottage was long gone. It is said that his earliest thatched cottage and the Luya Temple built in the Tang Dynasty were both destroyed in the war. What we see now are all
It was built by future generations!”
At noon, the two of them had something to eat in the scenic spot. In the afternoon, Lu Qingmei and Zhou Xiaoze walked around the area for several hours, but still found nothing.
Seeing that the sun was setting towards the west, Zhou Xiaoze knew that his run today was in vain.
When they returned to Funiu Village, Lu Qingmei had just finished cooking when Wang Xiaohong rushed to the door and insisted on inviting Zhou Xiaoze and Lu Qingmei to her house for dinner.
When Lu Qingmei was at Wang Xiaohong's house last night, she saw blood stains everywhere on the bed. She knew that she had been tortured by her husband for half her life. She probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed if she didn't lie in bed for half a month.
She didn't expect Wang Xiaohong to recover so quickly. It seemed like nothing happened to her. Lu Qingmei had to admire how powerful Zhou Xiaoze's medicine was.
"Xiaohong, I've already cooked. Xiaoze will eat at my place. You don't have to be polite!" Lu Qingmei declined with a smile.
Wang Xiaohong said with a smile: "Village Chief Lu, Divine Doctor Zhou saved my husband and I. I don't know how to thank you. Just give me a chance. It doesn't cost you a penny. You and Divine Doctor Zhou will come to my place and I will provide you with the food."
Everything is ready!”
Lu Qingmei said: "Well, let Xiaoze come to your house, and I will eat at home!"
When Wang Xiaohong saw that Lu Qingmei was unwilling to come to her house for dinner, she had no choice but to lead Zhou Xiaoze to her own home. Zhou Xiaoze looked around the room and asked, "Where are your husband and mother-in-law?"
Wang Xiaohong said with a smile: "My husband also went out to work in the morning. This is thanks to Dr. Zhou's medicine. It's really amazing. Looking at him like that, ordinary strong laborers can't compare with him. My mother-in-law and her natal brother have something to do at home.
Ask her to go over and not come back tonight!"
With that said, Wang Xiaohong went to the kitchen and brought out a table full of dishes, including a lot of chicken, duck, and fish.
Zhou Xiaoze looked at it and said with a smile: "Hazy, it's just the two of us eating now. Why did you cook so many dishes? We can't eat them all at once!"
"If we can't eat it all at once, let's eat it slowly!" Wang Xiaohong said as she opened a bottle of white wine and poured a large glass for Zhou Xiaoze and herself.
Zhou Xiaoze smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, I never thought you could still drink!"
Wang Xiaohong said with a smile: "Nearly all the women in our Funiu Village can drink. When men are not at home, sometimes they can only drink to relieve their worries."
Zhou Xiaoze smiled: "But you are different from others. Your husband is always at home with you. Don't you also use wine to relieve your worries?"
"Why am I not!"
Wang Xiaohong sighed and said, "To be honest, after I married this Lu Qingyuan, I never really enjoyed the happiness of being a woman."
"He is a coward when it comes to bed. Now you have helped him take care of his health, but his mother is urging him to go out to make money."
"You said, my life is too hard!"
This was a matter between husband and wife, and Zhou Xiaoze couldn't say anything.
The two of them went back and forth and quickly drank up a bottle of wine. Wang Xiaohong's face turned peach blossom color, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be filled with peach blossom water.
When Wang Xiaohong opened the second bottle of liquor, she was stopped by Zhou Xiaoze: "Sister-in-law, don't drink any more. If you drink more, I'll have more!"
In fact, no matter how much liquor he drank, he could not get Zhou Xiaoze drunk. The wine entered his stomach and was quickly decomposed by the Yuanling in his body.
Zhou Xiaoze was worried that if he continued to drink, Wang Xiaohong would fall drunk under the table.
Her husband and mother-in-law are not at home. A drunk woman cannot take care of herself and may easily get into accidents.
"It doesn't matter if you don't drink. Doctor Zhou, why don't you go to my bedroom and let's make out!" Wang Xiaohong stared at Zhou Xiaoze and said.
