After eating at the mutton restaurant, Wan Yunting and the others walked out of the restaurant and stood on the street. Since it was very inconvenient to take a taxi here, the owner of the mutton restaurant came to help and asked his friend to drive a van over and take them directly to the north.
Walk in the direction of Kunlun Mountain.
The distance from Buxida County to Wuliang Taoist Temple is dozens of kilometers. In addition, it is snowing and the road is not easy to walk, so the car did not drive very fast or slowly. It was around six o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at a place at the foot of Wuliang Taoist Temple.
In the small square.
"Here, thank you."
Wan Yunting took out his wallet and gave the master money, then he, Chang Wude and the others got out of the car, took out their luggage, and then looked at the mountain gate.
Wuliang Taoist Temple is built on Wuliang Mountain at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. The gate of Wuliang Taoist Temple is built on the mountainside, and a long ladder leads to the mountain gate halfway up the mountain.
Wan Yunting and Chang Wude came to the long staircase at the bottom of the mountain. There was a very simple gate, with the three characters of Wuliang Mountain carved on the stone slab above.
"Alas, more than forty years have passed, and I, Chang Wude, have finally returned!"
Chang Wude stood in front of the gate, looking at the three characters Wuliang Mountain clearly visible after the four buildings above had been renovated, he couldn't help but sigh.
The memories of the past were running through his mind like a film, and Chang Wude did not expect that he could come back here again, to this mountain gate that he could not forget.
"Let's go up the mountain."
After a while, Chang Wude lifted his feet and stepped on the bluestone stairs to go up the mountain...
Wan Yunting, Kang Nolan, Xu Lingwei and Li Zihang followed him up the mountain. Along the way, Chang Wude also introduced Wan Yunting and Kang Nolan to the mountain scenery around Wuliang Mountain...
It's snowing heavily now, and the mountains are covered with snow. The trees and mountains are all covered with a white coat. They are snow-capped and very beautiful.
The sky has gradually darkened, and there are not many tourists coming to play now, so there are no people on the stairs leading to the mountain.
The altitude of Wuliang Mountain is more than 1,000 meters, and behind it is the endless and continuous Kunlun Mountains.
The Wuliang Taoist Temple is built on the mountainside of Wuliang Mountain. After walking up the stairs for more than 40 minutes, you saw a gate in front of you, with the Wuliang Taoist Temple carved on it!
"reached."
Li Zihang ran up excitedly. After passing the gate, he saw the mountain gate of an ancient building. The walls were covered with ancient relics, which seemed to tell that the building had experienced hundreds of years of wind and rain.
There is a young Taoist priest wearing a green robe. His long black hair is tied up tightly, and a wooden hairpin is passed through it, just like the standard Taoist priest hairstyle in TV series. He holds a long broom in both hands.
Sweeping the snow in front of the mountain gate...
"Master Xuancheng..."
When Li Zihang saw him, he shouted excitedly. The young man named Xuancheng turned around to see him and trotted down excitedly with his big broom in his arms, "Senior Brother Zihang, Senior Sister Zhishan, you are back."
"yes."
Li Zihang went up and put his arms around Xuancheng's shoulders, smiling happily and saying, "Did you miss me, senior brother?"
"Think about it."
The honest and lovely Xuancheng nodded and smiled happily, then looked at Wan Yunting, Chang Wude and Kang Nolan, and asked: "Brother Zihang, who are they?"
"Oh, this is our Uncle Chang, and he is Junior Brother Wan and Junior Sister Kang. They are both disciples of Uncle Chang."
Li Zihang pointed at Wan Yunting and Kang Nolan and introduced them to Junior Brother Xuancheng.
"He is Uncle Chang."
Xuancheng's eyes widened, and he immediately bowed respectfully to Chang Wude and said, "Uncle, you are polite."
"Yes, Not Bad."
Chang Wude nodded, and nodded with satisfaction as if he was relying on his elders.
"Junior Brother Xiancheng, are my master and the others here?"
Li Zihang asked Xuancheng.
"Well, the master of the temple is here. They should be eating in the dining hall right now."
Xuancheng nodded and said.
Li Zihang nodded and said happily to Wan Yunting and Chang Wude: "Uncle Chang, Junior Brother Wan, let's go in."
"Okay, let's go..."
Chang Wude nodded, he was excited and couldn't wait to enter the mountain gate to take a look.
"I'll take you there..."
Junior Brother Xuancheng was excited, threw the big broom on the ground, and quickly entered the mountain gate with Chang Wude, Wan Yunting, Kang Nolan, Li Zihang and Xu Lingwei, and officially entered the Wuliang Taoist Temple.
In a huge square, I saw bluestone slabs paved on the ground. The surface was smooth, and it seemed that they had been stepped on for hundreds of years before showing such traces of vicissitudes...
Grass has also grown in the gaps between the bluestones. In the main hall leading to the Wuliang Taoist Temple in front, there are two rows of ginkgo trees planted on both sides. Now the leaves are yellow and falling to the ground, mixed with the snow. There are really several young Taoist disciples.
While sweeping the main road with a big broom, when he saw Li Zihang and Xu Lingwei, they also said hello...
"It hasn't changed, it's still the same..."
Walking into the main hall of Wuliang Taoist Temple, I saw a huge statue of the Three Pure Ones in the hall. In front of it was an offering platform. The incense on the simple black incense burner was filled with smoke. The desk was also covered with soot. The incense burner
There are also many items placed on the left and right sides.
There are three futons placed on the bluestone floor, and a merit box is placed next to it. This is for tourists who burn incense to worship. Individual pilgrims will also put money into the merit box...
Chang Wude looked at the simple Sanqing statues in the main hall, which seemed to be the same as before, without any changes.
The only thing that has changed is that the people here no longer recognize me, and I no longer recognize them.
Many middle-aged Taoist priests and young Taoist priests who were in the main hall were also looking at him curiously. They heard Li Zihang introduce him as Uncle Chang, but still no one could recognize him.
"The temple master is here..."
There was a sound outside the hall, and then an old man wearing a simple green cloth robe was seen. His pale crane hair was tied on the top of his head and fixed with a sapphire hairpin. His old face was full of wrinkles, and his kind eyes were at this moment.
He was obviously very excited. He had a long white beard, a kind and approachable face, and gave people a fairy-like air. He quickly crossed the high threshold of the hall and came in.
Chang Wude, who was inside, immediately turned around and looked at the old man who came in. The two looked at each other, and gradually their eyes turned red. Duan Wuyu was the first to shout excitedly: "Junior Brother Chang, it's really you..."
"Senior brother..."
Chang Wude also shouted excitedly, and the two of them immediately hurried up and hugged each other. The two elders burst into tears. Duan Wuyu, the spectator, patted Chang Wude on the back and said, "Junior Brother Chang, you are back, Senior Brother
I have been looking forward to your return for decades..."
Wan Yunting and Kang Nolan, along with Xu Lingwei and Li Zihang, as well as the other senior brothers and sisters around them, looked at the two elders hugging each other. They were so excited that they shed tears, and they couldn't help but be moved by it.
"Forty-two years, exactly forty-two years, senior brother, I'm sorry..."
Chang Wude was very emotional, hugging his senior brother Duan Wuyu and crying like a child who had made a mistake.
"Junior brother, senior brother, I am very happy to see you back at Shanmen in my lifetime..."
Duan Wuyu let go of him, wiped away his tears, looked at Chang Wude carefully, held his hands with both hands, his old face was full of excitement, "I'm old, but still the same as before. Senior brother, I can recognize you at a glance.
.”
"Ha ha…"
Chang Wude cried and laughed twice, and said: "Brother, we are all buried in the loess. When I come back this time, I just want to see you, so as not to die with regrets in the future."
Duan Wuyu also smiled and nodded, and said: "Senior brother is very happy that you can come back, but it's all your wish."
"yes."
Chang Wude also nodded excitedly.
The surrounding disciples of Wuliang Taoist Temple who had never seen Chang Wude did not expect that he was the junior disciple of the temple master.
At this time, Chang Wude saw an old woman standing behind Duan Wuyu who was also wearing a green robe. Her long, half-white hair was also tied up with a white jade hairpin. Although she was already old,
, but his face was red and well-maintained, and he did not look like an old man in his sixties at all.
"Junior Brother Chang, let me introduce to you, she is my wife Yang Jingyi."
Duan Wuyu immediately introduced him to Chang Wude. Yang Jingyi also smiled and nodded at him and said, "I often hear old Duan mention your past stories."
"Haha, senior brother didn't expose the scandalous things I did, did he?"
Chang Wude saluted Yang Jingyi and said with a smile.
Duan Wuyu pointed at him and said with a smile: "You, you really did a lot of bad things back then, and you often made Master angry."
Mentioning the old master, Chang Wude smiled, nodded and sighed, and said: "Brother, I will go up the mountain to visit the old master tomorrow."
"Well, senior brother will take it to you tomorrow."
Duan Wuyu nodded and smiled.
"Senior Brother Chang, where is Senior Brother Chang?"
Suddenly there was an excited shout from outside, and the young disciples who were watching outside all stepped aside, and an old man wearing a Taoist robe walked in. When he saw Chang Wude, he widened his eyes and looked at him carefully.
Afterwards, he was sure that it was Senior Brother Chang and excitedly went up to him and said, "Senior Brother Chang, you are back."
Chang Wude also looked at him, his old eyes widened suddenly, and he said excitedly: "Are you Xiaoweizi?"
"Yes, senior brother, it's me..."
The old man named Wuweizi was excited. He hugged Chang Wude and cried excitedly: "Brother Chang, you are finally back. Junior brother, I miss you..."
"Haha, senior brother misses you too..."
Chang Wude patted his back, excited and happy.
Duan Wuyu and Yang Jingyi looked at them and smiled, and then looked at Wan Yunting and Kang Nolan who were standing aside.
