The reason why Hou Yiying said this was that she had been training Xiong Jiandong in stunts in the past few days and found that his progress far exceeded her expectations. Secondly, she saw a piece of news on CCTV morning news today that made her dissatisfied.
Xiong Jiandong's analytical judgment is impressive.
The TV said that reporters reported a few months ago that there were strange incidents of seagulls snatching food from tourists on British beaches. Some tourists suspected that this was a terrorist attack.
Several months have passed. After follow-up investigation and analysis by the British intelligence agency, it has been confirmed that these seagulls have been specially trained by an extremist force with the purpose of using a virus carried by the seagulls to launch biological and chemical weapons attacks on humans. Fortunately,
This virus is not as expected by extremist groups and can be eliminated with just general antibiotics.
As for those trained seagulls, all have been killed by local British police.
This time, He Kuishan, Hou Yiying, and Xiong Jiandong, following the deployment of the Huangying Action Team, went to the North Kunlun Snow Mountains area in southern Xinjiang in order to pass through a desert inn there to deal with a case about violent terrorist activities.
They chose a night flight.
At the airport, a Uighur young man named Tizigul met He Kuishan and the others. He claimed to be the guide hired by these three mountaineers.
Tizigul was a secret scout previously sent by the national security agency. Discipline only allowed him to know the code name of He Kuishan, who was known as Lao Qiang.
He drives an old pickup truck that looks very old.
The attentive Hou Yiying noticed that although the appearance of this car was shabby, the interior decoration was very elegant, the ride was very comfortable, and it was obviously modified with a large-displacement engine of 3.0 or more.
She knew that there was no other explanation for this except to deceive others.
After trekking for more than five hours overnight, Tizigul pulled the three of them to a Taoist temple in the mountains. This Taoist temple is located in the Queen Mother Pond of Kunlun Snow Mountain, which is more than 4,000 meters above sea level.
Two middle-aged Taoist priests welcomed them in. Tizigul said that he had reserved four guest rooms in the Taoist temple two days ago.
This place belongs to the hinterland of the Karakunlun Mountains. Not far away is a town called Bazaku. There is a large Pula Mosque in the town.
Bazaku Town is hundreds of kilometers away from Kashgar and is located on the border with Pakistan and Afghanistan to the southwest, and India and Tajikistan are nearby.
More than ten kilometers away from Bazaku Town, there is a vast desert.
The next day, Xiong Jiandong woke up at around eight o'clock in the morning and saw that it was still dark outside. It is said that the Kunlun Snow Mountain is known as the latest sunrise, and he might not see the sun come out for another hour.
Hou Yiying found him and asked if he would accompany her to see the morning view of the snow-capped mountains.
The two left the Taoist temple, and when they climbed to a high slope, they saw that the morning fog began to gradually dissipate.
At this time, there is silence between heaven and earth, and the snow-capped mountains are being illuminated layer by layer, revealing a golden brilliance. Looking up, the Xiwangmu Taoist Temple at your feet is surrounded by clouds and filled with rays of light, which makes it look like a fairyland.
Goodbye, not far away in the depths of the Populus euphratica forest, there seems to be a nimble figure wielding two swords, and two cold lights flash from time to time.
The figure looked light and slender, and she was undoubtedly a woman.
Xiong Jiandong suddenly remembered Taoist Aunt Miaoxin who unexpectedly appeared in the jungle on a rainy night a few days ago by the lake at No. 19, Xishan. He thought for a while and suddenly chanted loudly:
"Thousands of peaks and dangerous ravines, overhanging walls and endless rivers and ravines; miraculous dreams in the Yaochi, and the beauty of the goddess may be missing."
"Yaochi...Miaogu!" Hou Yiying was extremely confused. She never expected that Xiong Jiandong could actually form a poem in an instant, and it seemed that he had some intention.
"What a five-character poem. You are on the top of a high hill, and the love in the poem is deep. Who does the word 'Miao Gu' refer to? Is it a fairy?" she asked.
"Ah, you said it's a fairy, so just a fairy!" Xiong Jiandong was embarrassed for a moment and answered differently.
"I'm talking about Xiong Jiandong, today is April 1st, April Fool's Day in the West. Didn't you suddenly think of the woman you have loved for a long time?" Hou Yiying teased.
She never expected that from such a high position in this empty mountain, the voices of the two people would be heard in the Populus euphratica forest. When the sword dancer heard it from a distance, his cheeks turned red, he put away his swords, and quickly returned to the Taoist temple.
Hou Yiying and Xiong Jiandong returned to the Taoist temple, and He Kuishan and Tizi Guli were waiting for them to have breakfast together.
According to folklore, the Queen Mother of the West is the wife of the Jade Emperor and the mother of the Seven Fairies.
However, according to Taoist records, the name of the Queen Mother of the West is actually Taixu Nine Light Turtle Platform Golden Mother Yuanjun, who was born from the innate Xihua Qi. In other words, she is formed by the condensed innate Yin Qi. She is born on the third day of the lunar calendar each year.
The third day of the lunar month is the birthday of the Queen Mother of the West.
The Queen Mother of the West is peerless in appearance and graceful. She punishes evil and promotes good in the world. She is the leader of all female fairies. She lives in the Yaochi of Kunlun Mountain, where there are peach trees planted with flags, and the fruit they bear can make people immortal.
Every year, the Queen Mother of the West comes to bathe in the Snow Mountain Pond. Over time, there is a Taoist temple where she lives, which is called the Taoist Temple of the Snow Mountain Queen Mother Pond.
Today, in addition to receiving many Taoist priests to practice, Wangmuchi Taoist Temple is also a famous tourist attraction in southern Xinjiang, providing food and accommodation to passing explorers, climbers and other admiring tourists.
Under normal circumstances, the free breakfast in Taoist temples is very simple, only porridge, steamed buns and a small plate of pickles.
But He Kuishan's breakfast included special Xinjiang-style scones, noodles, and ice cream called Swordsman. They also gave each person a piece of Tianshan Snow Lotus Soup.
Tizigul was surprised that he often came to the Queen Mother Pond Taoist Temple, and this was the first time he could eat such a luxurious meal in the early morning. He asked a young Taoist priest who was entertaining him why it was so richer than usual today.
The young Taoist priest replied that this was a special instruction from Master Ciyi, Tai Lao Guanzhu, to treat a few people specially. As for the reason for this, he could not explain.
Tizigul heard that Ciyi was the teacher of the Queen Mother Pond Taoist Temple in the Kunlun Snow Mountains. She had strict moral conduct and high moral prestige. She lived in a simple way and never showed herself to others. There were only a few daughters of the Quanzhen sect in the temple.
As a Taoist, I occasionally had the opportunity to be taught and ordained by her, and I could see her true face.
Taoist priests are divided into two major schools: Quanzhen and Zhengyi.
Disciples of the Quanzhen sect are Taoist priests who cannot get married and can only eat vegetarian food; Taoist priests of the Zhengyi sect can have families and are allowed to eat meat. Today, most of the Zhengyi sect are Taoist priests who do not become monks, also known as Huoju Taoist priests. Only a small number of Taoist priests are
Will become a monk.
He Kuishan asked the little Taoist priest with a smile: "Thanks to the blessing of Abbot Ciyi, is there any one of us who is related to her, and can we invite her to meet her?"
