Treasure well

Chapter 48
The group of people walked up the mountain while admiring the scenery along the way.

On the left half of the mountain, the scenery along the way to Misty Temple is the most beautiful. The ancients were superstitious and believed in gods, so the construction site is the best. Not only are all kinds of pine trees planted along the way, but also the moving scenery below the mountain can be seen along the way.

The so-called infinite scenery is the highest in the dangerous peak, the place where the misty view is, this is the reason, climb high and look far away!
Within [-] meters of Piaomiaoguan, there are also bluestone steps. Of course, only within [-] meters, after [-] meters, there is a mountain road, so walking is a bit harder.

Chu Yunqiu planned to extend the stone steps to the bottom of the mountain after a while, so that people could reach Misty Temple unimpeded. As for Baiyun Lake and Shuilian Cave, Chu Yunqiu had no intention of changing his mind, so let nature take its course.

Finally, a group of people slowly climbed up the highest peak on the left side of Baiyun Mountain, and saw a Taoist temple indistinctly. The enthusiasm of the group suddenly increased, and they were full of strength.

It didn't matter to Chu Yunqiu, he often climbed and drank the water from the treasure well, so his health was better than these pampered rich men.

He carried Lu Zhiqing's bag on his back, and supported her tightly.

"Oh, Brother Chu, it's my daughter-in-law after all, so she treats her differently." Gong Feng was at the back, panting with his mouth wide open!
"Brother Feng, victory is within reach, you have to work harder." Chu Yunqiu turned around and smiled lightly!
"Don't worry, you guys go first, I'll follow right away", Gong Feng really couldn't do it anymore, he sat down on the ground, and he wanted to rest for a while.

"How about this, we'll wait for you at the gate of the Taoist temple." Chu Yunqiu looked at Gong Feng like this, really bored!
"Okay, okay", Gong Feng nodded straight, "I'll smoke a cigarette first, slowly", Gong Feng took out a cigarette from his pocket, he is not without perseverance, but he is really too tired, and he can't bear it!

Chu Yunqiu and the others finally climbed to the entrance of Misty Temple, looking at the simple and majestic Misty audience was full of shock.

Just above the doorway, a black bluestone slab was inlaid on it, with the words "Piaomiaoguan" written on it.

Chu Yunqiu didn't know whether it was running script or regular script. He only knew that these three characters were written by the original builder himself.

"I didn't expect you to have such a magnificent Taoist temple here." Liang Ganzhi was surprised.

"It's all the wealth left by our ancestors, and we descendants just get the legacy." Chu Yunqiu waved his hand.

"Let's sit down and rest for a while, wait for the fat man." Liang Ganzhi didn't want to get dirty, and sat down on the steps, he was not lightly tired!

"Take a break, take a rest..."

After waiting for 10 to [-] minutes, Gong Feng groaned and climbed up. This guy was so smart, he picked up a wooden stick from nowhere and leaned on it.

Fortunately, this stick is thick enough, otherwise it might not be able to support his "plump" body!

"It's finally here, it's really tiring." Gong Feng stood under the Misty Temple, stretched his "waist", "Let's go, let's go and have a look, we finally came, we must burn two more sticks of incense."

"Yes", Liang Ganzhi called his bag, "It's started, hello everyone, worship God and Buddha, we will worship God now", the incense candles hit Liang Ganzhi's bag.

Everyone stepped forward to take incense candles, and Ayako and Miko also stepped forward. Although their culture was different from that of Huaxia, they couldn't stop their superstitious hearts.

"This is the four heavenly kings guarding the Nantianmen." Walking into the entrance, there are the four heavenly kings guarding the Nantianmen!
"Yes, but I prefer to call them the Four Generals of the Demon Family." Liang Ganzhi nodded. If you don't know the story of "Fengshen Yanyi", you are ashamed to say that you are from China!

"What are the four generals of the Demon Family, and what do they have to do with the Four Heavenly Kings?" Ayako and Miko are from RB, and they really don't know much about Chinese mythology!

"The four generals of the Demon family are the four heavenly kings. They are the same, except that one is named during his lifetime, and the other is titled after death. This is the king of growth in the south—Mo Liqing, who holds the Qingfeng sword, and this one holds the umbrella. It’s the Northern Heavenly King of Duowen—Ma Lihong, the one holding the pipa is the Eastern Heavenly King——Ma Lihai, and the one holding the flower fox sable is the Western Guangmu Heavenly King——Ma Lishou. They are four brothers. , everyone has their own magic weapon, and they were called the four generals of the Demon Family during their lifetime. After being killed, their souls ascended to heaven and were conferred as gods. To be the Four Heavenly Kings", Gong Feng explained to the two women very ostentatiously.

"Come, come, let's worship together," Chu Yunqiu lit a joss stick and shouted to everyone!

"Hey, here we come." Gong Feng led the two women and walked up directly. Only Liang Ganzhi frowned, as if he was looking at something.

"Brother Liang, what are you thinking?" Gong Feng shouted directly, interrupting Liang Ganzhi's train of thought.

"It's okay, I'm here," Liang Ganzhi let go of his thoughts and merged with everyone.

"Let's put our bags here first. We are too tired to carry them. Except for birds, few people come here." Chu Yunqiu put the bags on his back at the door, and walked inside with a candle in his hand.

Everyone untied the burdens on their backs one after another. Although it wasn't very heavy, it was a little easier to relax.

Walking into the first courtyard, looking at the two ancient trees inside, they both exclaimed.

"Come on, let's see how thick this tree is first." Gong Feng stepped forward and hugged the huge ancient pine, but he couldn't hug it alone. "Brother Liang, Brother Chu, help me." Gong Feng waved his hand , let two people come over.

The three of them hugged each other, just in time to embrace the ancient tree.

"It's so thick, how old is it?" Gong Feng was astonished. He has grown so big, and he has never seen such a thick tree. It is simply too surprising.

"It has a history of more than 800 years. Do the math. This Taoist temple was established in the Song Dynasty. Although it was repaired several times during the period, the trees must have not been moved. The history of the Song Dynasty is from 960 AD to 1279 AD. Now It is more than 2000 years, take an intermediate number, at least 800 years." The establishment of Taoist temples has no established time at all, so it can only be calculated in this way.

"It's been so long, this tree is really powerful." Gong Feng was amazed, and turned to look at the big sycamore tree on the other side, which was even thicker.

"How did you say this tree grows, and why is it so big?" Gong Feng felt very curious.

"Okay, don't think about it anymore, if you want to take a picture, hurry up," Liang Ganzhi slapped Gong Feng, and turned to go to the nearby hall.

While Gong Feng was busy taking pictures, Chu Yunqiu was busy offering incense, Lu Zhiqing and Shen Mengjie looked around, seeming very curious.

······
The first thing Liang Qianzhi entered was the "Dragon King Hall". He looked around and turned his attention to the incense burner on the stone platform.

This incense burner is made of brass. It is completely shiny, like gold, but some places are a little dark. It seems that it is due to being left for a long time. Various exquisite patterns are engraved on the upper part of the copper burner, surrounded by lap.

The entire copper furnace belly has a big waist, two ears and three legs, an open mouth, round lips, a short and thin neck, a flat and bulging belly, and three blunt tapered feet. It is very exquisitely made.

Liang Ganzhi was a little absent-minded, and couldn't help walking forward, holding the copper stove in his hand, only feeling a sense of coolness coming from above, icy cold, but not piercing, he looked carefully at the copper stove, the pattern on it was a Swiss Beast - 狻猊, 狻猊 is shaped like a lion, likes to smoke and sits, so the image usually appears on the incense burner, and then swallows smoke and mist.

Liang Ganzhi became more and more excited as he looked at it. He poured out the incense ash in the copper furnace, looked at the bottom of the copper furnace, and saw six big characters appearing in front of his eyes!
"Xuande furnace..." Liang Ganzhi exclaimed in disbelief.
