Divine Light Warrior

Chapter 541 Overnight at the Summit Inn

When Li Kaiyang heard that the water was particularly sweet today, he became a little interested. Why is the water sweet? Xiaolan said beside her that the water was sweet, and the mountain spring water in my hometown was sweet. Drinking it in your mouth felt like there was sugar in it. These people lined up to enter the Taoist temple, some coming in and some going out. Those who came out did not leave after that, but rested in the small shops around. It seemed that they wanted to stay here for two more days.

The size of the temple is not particularly large, so people are allowed to enter in an orderly manner. Li Kaiyang and the others also lined up with the people who came up to prepare to go in and pay tribute first. They poured into these temples to pay tribute to the Three Pure Ones. Someone reminded Li Kaiyang that if he wanted holy water The bottle must be prepared. In fact, Li Kaiyang Xiaolan has already prepared it. The original purpose is to do this and of course he will not fall behind.

Xiaolan had a gourd hanging on her waist, and Li Kaiyang also had a gourd hanging on his waist. The two wanted to take two gourds of water back. At this time, the people next to him told him that the effect of water on wooden objects is not as good as that of porcelain jars, so He took something like a wine jar and waved it in front of them and said, "I'll use this to catch the water. Do you think it's okay?"

Li Kaiyang thought about what to do. I didn't bring it with me. The man casually took out a jar from his waist and said, "Here are these for you. I brought two, but I can't use two. One jar of water will suffice." That’s enough.”

Li Kaiyang was very happy. This man was too enthusiastic. How could he repay him? So he took out ten taels of silver from his waist, stuffed it into the man's hand, and said, "Brother, I can't repay him. Let me take these ten taels of silver as your reward."

The young man looked at it and shook his head and said, "What did you say? I just want to help you. I don't mean to ask for your money. Just put it away quickly."

The little brother was very polite, which moved Li Kaiyang very much. He seemed to have a very good personality. The two people lined up and quickly entered the Taoist temple. After entering, they realized that the place was actually not small. Why did people have to wait outside? This question in his mind attracted the attention of a person next to him. He had doubts in his heart and muttered a few words. The person next to him said, "You don't know that the Taoist temple master here has a habit. He is afraid of disturbance. There were too many people inside, and he got annoyed after that, so he asked people to line up to go in, go out after lighting incense, and go get water if there was one. So people obeyed the order here. If you don't obey, it won't work up here. Someone will Will drive you off."

Only then did Li Kaiyang realize that the rules here were quite strict. Li Kaiyang has already discussed it with Xiaolan. They will go to the Sanqing Hall first to burn a stick of incense and kowtow a few times to the Supreme Laojun and others. There are still many people burning incense, but there seem to be few people fetching water. They can still enter Sanqing. When I arrived in front of the door, I saw an old Taoist sitting in the main hall. He had white hair and a childish face. At first glance, he was a practicing person. This old man was sitting on the futon with his eyes closed and concentrating. His face was rosy. At first glance, he was an old immortal who was practicing. .

Li Kaiyang couldn't help but feel admiration. He nodded to Xiaolan from a distance and said, "This is an old practitioner. His majesty is really admirable."

The old viewer probably heard what he said. He opened his eyes and took a look, then slowly closed them again.

After entering the Sanqing Hall, they first lit a stick of incense, knelt on the futon and bowed several times. This was considered as fulfilling his wish.

Afterwards, Xiaolan said to Li Kaiyang: "What should we do next? Do we want to get water?"

Li Kaiyang nodded and said: "Go ahead, they will line up with the people collecting water."

It turned out that the water they took flowed from the dragon's mouth under an arch bridge. The stone dragon's mouth was lifelike. The dragon opened its mouth and spit out water. Someone explained to them, "This water comes from the top of the snow mountain." The melted snow from the mountains will gather here and then drain into the dragon's mouth. The snow water in the dragon's mouth will flow into a river in the temple. This river will flow down the mountain. The water flowing down from the dragon's mouth will be crystal clear. Very medicinal.”

This commentator is also a good man and a believer. He is here to help. He presides over the order and makes people come here to collect water in an orderly manner. Some are holding gourds, some are holding bottles, and some are holding wine jars. Anyway, they use various utensils. There are all, but you are only allowed to pick up one pot or bottle, and you are not allowed to pick up more. Although the water will flow away if you don't pick it up, there is this rule to prevent people from being greedy in this place.

Xiaolan only had a gourd in her hand, so he used the gourd to catch it, while Li Kaiyang had a porcelain jar given by that person, so he used the porcelain jar to catch the jar. His jar was much larger. He was very satisfied with holding the water in his arms. When he was receiving the water, the water flowed into his hands, and he felt a slight chill, which showed that it was indeed made of snow water. While receiving the water, Li Kaiyang also raised his eyes and looked behind the Taoist temple. At this time, you can clearly see the white snow-capped mountains standing behind the Taoist temple, and the Taoist temple is like a pearl inlaid on the top of the snow-capped mountains.

The two of them were very satisfied and excited after receiving the water. The two of them are together. Xiaolan held up her gourd and said, "My gourd has become a fairy gourd because it contains holy water."

Li Kaiyang said with a smile, "There is more water in my jar than in your gourd, so I am a sacred altar."

Xiaolan said: "Your treasure altar may not have the magical effect of this gourd."

Li Kaiyang said: "How is that possible? The elder brother just said that only the water collected in the jar can have medicinal value. Does your gourd have that effect?"

Xiaolan said: "I'll take a sip and taste it."

He put the mouth of the gourd to his lips and sucked it. Sure enough, he felt it was sweet and delicious. He suddenly lifted the gourd and took a big sip. Then his eyes lit up and he excitedly said to Li Kaiyang, "Drink a little too, drink a little too." The taste is simply beyond imagination. Now Li Kaiyang didn't want to touch his jar of water, so he took a sip from Xiaolan's gourd. When Xiaolan saw Li Kaiyang drinking water directly from his gourd, her face immediately changed. She blushed. This was probably because of the difference between men and women. Li Kaiyang did not avoid suspicion and directly drank from the place where she had just drank. This subtle feeling was indescribable.

Although Li Kaiyang didn't care about this, Xiaolan seemed to be a little shy and lowered her head without saying a word.

Li Kaiyang held the gourd to his mouth and was full of praise after drinking it. He felt that after the water entered his throat, a cold line slid down his esophagus. He thought that the cold line would stop when it reached his stomach, but unexpectedly The cold thread was slowly injected into the Dantian. The feeling was like becoming an immortal, as if a burst of energy entered the Dantian.

Only then did he realize that this magical water was really not a lie, no exaggeration, no glitz. It is indeed a rare holy water.

After drinking it, he felt refreshed and full of vitality. After drinking the water, he turned around and said to Xiaolan: "Great, great. Put it away quickly. Don't waste every drop of water. If we can bring more, I really want to get him three cylinders and two bottles of water." The tank goes back for people to taste.

Xiaolan said: "I want to take this water back to our hometown, to the small fishing village, where people go to drink."

Li Kaiyang said: "That's great, but they only allow us to bring one bottle, and we are not allowed to bring more. So what?" Xiaolan said: "The people here are really crazy. People are not allowed to take this water away. It’s all going away in vain, so why bother?”

If people don’t allow it to be taken away, there are naturally reasons why they don’t allow it to be taken away. Li Kaiyang and Xiaolan don’t want to delve into these, but their two owners feel it’s a pity because there are too many people who need this kind of water, and there are water at the bottom of the mountain. For many diseases, if this water has an effect, people can drink a little to relieve their pain.

Their doubts seemed to be noticed by a person next to them, and the person said to them: "Be content, you are very lucky to get this bottle. How many people were eaten by hungry wolves on the way up the mountain, and even their lives were lost." Can’t pick it up.”

As soon as this man spoke, Li Kaiyang quickly turned around to see who he was. He was not one of their group, but this man looked very kind, so Li Kaiyang asked him. "Uncle, did you come down from the bottom of the mountain?"

The man nodded and said, "I am also from a village on Crescent Island. My mother has been ill all year round. I come here once a year to get water. I can drink this water for a year."

Li Kaiyang scratched his head and said: "It is true that this water is holy water. After drinking it, the effect is much more magical."

The man said: "It's not easy to come here this year. When I came, I came with three people. However, we met a pack of wolves on the way. One of our friends was knocked down by the wolves and rolled down the cliff to death. How sorry you say it is." .”

Li Kaiyang was also sad after hearing this. He said: "We also encountered a pack of wolves when we came here."

The man shook his head and said, "It's strange, there are wolves here every year, and the income from attacking people is actually very small. I don't know why they are so reckless this year, attacking people in broad daylight."

Li Kaiyang was a little surprised after hearing this, and he said, "Don't you think these wolves didn't attack people in the past?"

The man said: "I rarely see situations like this almost every year."

Xiaolan said, "What should I do if that person dies?" The man shook his head with a sad expression on his face and said, "I can't help it. When I go back, I will give them half of the water in my half gourd." His family is fine, this man is a single man, and the family can go on as usual without him. "

After listening, Li Kaiyang still let out a sigh of regret. He said: "Why not let people get more water so people can come here less often."

The man said: "Fetch more water. People may not come here once a year or two. Won't there be less incense here? The reason is very simple. He does not have the right to change this rule, so he can only feel sorry for it." Sigh."

After getting the water, the sky darkened, and people needed to stay here. The man told him, "If you want to stay, you can only go outside to the hotel. You are not allowed to live here. There are several shops outside. They The place to stay is also very simple. Although it is simple, there is food and drink. It can be just one or two nights. Besides, we who collect water can go down the mountain after sleeping for one night. It takes a little effort to go up the mountain. , going down the mountain is relatively lighter, and we can leave here quickly."

After the man finished speaking, he led the way. After leaving the Taoist temple, they came to a shop. The shop was already overcrowded, but the elder agreed to let them stay after talking to the owner of the shop.

Li Kaiyang thought to himself that you left me, Li Kaiyang, Xiaolan, and the two people who came with them. One of them was the young man who gave the carrier pigeon to another group of people.

The man thought for a while and said to the shop owner, "Can we accommodate four more of them?"

The owner said: "There is a place, but it's a bit shabby. It's a grievance for them. It's just a thatched shed, and people can't lie down. They can only sit with their clothes on and lean against the wall to sleep overnight.

Li Kaiyang thought that would be fine, as long as there was a place that was protected from wind and rain and sealed.

The old man said, "There is enough to eat." The old man said, "There is absolutely enough to eat. Whatever you want, except dragon meat and phoenix meat. I have all kinds of meat here. Of course everyone was very happy to hear that. , so people went inside.

It is indeed very narrow here, only a dozen square meters. A dozen people have squeezed in, and of course there are bunks for sleeping. The bunks are divided into three floors: upper, middle and lower. The old man was arranged on the top floor. He was a frequent visitor here, so the old man gave him a bunk, and Li Kaiyang and the others They were assigned to a corner where the debris was piled in the thatched shed. There were already three people sitting there leaning against the wall. Li Kaiyang and the others arranged for them to sit together.

The shop owner asked them: "If they want something to eat, he can get it for them. Li Kaiyang thought that we wouldn't find a table for us to eat."

The shopkeeper said: "I charge you five taels of silver per person, because the food here is very expensive and you have to carry it from the bottom of the mountain. Think about how difficult it is for people."

This is not a problem. Li Kaiyang and Xiaolan decisively took out the money they had with them, but the two people next to them were a bit shabby. They didn't have much money with them. For them, five taels was astronomical. Li Kaiyang generously paid out fifty taels of silver and gave it directly to the shopkeeper and said, "We will also give him the money for these two meals." When the two people heard this, they were very excited and said, "That's very polite. You are so old. We have nothing to repay for your kindness."

Li Kaiyang said: "We share the same adversity, so what else do we need from you to retaliate? Our life-and-death battle last night was enough to establish the friendship between us."

The person who delivered the carrier pigeon said to everyone: "That's true, big brother, then thank you. I have a meal, thanks to your support."

What did five taels of silver buy? The old shopkeeper gave each of them four taels of beef, a steamed bun, and a pot of water. He said, "Although this water is not as good as the water flowing out of his dragon's mouth, it is also snow water from the top of the mountain. You guys have a taste." How does it taste?"

Everyone took it to their mouths and drank from it. It also has a sweet taste, and it is hot. They find it rare to eat white flour steamed buns and beef at the same time, and drink this water at the same time. The taste is also quite enjoyable.

"Don't worry, brother, the young man is the corn pancake I still ate when I came here last year. The more money I spend on food this year, the better."

The shop owner said, "Of course, I can't do business at a loss. It will cost me money to hire someone to carry this thing up from below. You give me five taels of silver for this thing, but I have to spend three taels of silver to get it." As a cost, I can't earn you much money, and you still have to pay rent to the Taoist temple for this land in this store. In this way, I can earn you one or two silver at most, and I will maintain it here all year round. It takes a lot of energy, but I can’t do it alone, and it’s not easy when you think about traveling in and out.
