Chapter 40 Taoist Temple
Uncle Ye had to face up to this matter.
If the other party got it by accident, it's okay to say that giving the other party a sum of money compensation is enough.
But if the other party wants to use this jade pendant to repay favors and make Ye Qiutang do something bad.
This is more troublesome.
As long as it is not breaking the law and discipline, they have to help with all their strength, but there are so many disgusting things on the edge of the law, and they will not agree.
"Tangtang, tell uncle honestly, where did this jade pendant come from?"
Ye Qiutang didn't take it seriously at first, wasn't it just a jade pendant?
Although this jade pendant is not bad for planting water and is worth a little money, but he has always regarded this jade pendant as a bonus for the fan.
Seeing that his uncle is so serious now, he has no choice but to face it squarely.
"This jade pendant was indeed given to me by a friend of mine. At that time, this fan was sent along with it. This jade pendant was hung on the fan. I didn't think much about it."
Uncle Ye was silent for a moment, then asked again: "Has he ever mentioned the origin of this jade pendant? Or has he asked you anything?"
"I haven't even mentioned it." Ye Qiutang thought for a while and said, "I thought this jade pendant was worth less than this fan. Uncle, what's the story behind this jade pendant? Judging by your serious expression."
Uncle Ye sighed, and had to give Ye Qiutang a generalization about the origin of their Ye family's jade pendant, and the people he knew so far who could own these two jade pendants besides the Ye family.
Ye Qiutang was dumbfounded.
But, but this is wrong!
Feng Haixuan has never been out of the mountains, where can he get this jade pendant?Has any elder in their family been to Feng Haixuan's Taoist temple?
Ye Qiutang sorted it out again. If the ancestor gave a jade pendant to a Taoist priest at that time, would Feng Haixuan's jade pendant be given to him by his master or his grand master?
It's not impossible.
Uncle Ye frowned, with a serious face: "If it's convenient, you can call your friend and ask your friend. If he got it by accident, then this jade pendant can be regarded as returning to the original owner now, and our family is not stingy." , give him a thank you fee."
There was no need for a thank you fee, Ye Qiutang felt that Feng Haixuan would not care about it.
But the phone still needs to be called, "Uncle, wait a moment, I will call him now."
The call was quickly connected
"Is Tangtang finished?" Feng Haixuan's concerned voice came from the receiver.
Ye Qiutang was rather embarrassed, "I have a question to ask you, is it convenient for you now?"
"What's the matter? It's okay for Tangtang to say it." Feng Haixuan's heart shuddered, and he suddenly felt flustered.
"It's like this..." Ye Qiutang said bluntly: "It's the fan you gave me. Where did the leaf jade pendant on it come from?"
Feng Haixuan thought, did Tangtang really start to notice something?
Will Tangtang blame him?
What he has always been most afraid of is that Ye Qiutang will blame him and be angry with him when he finds out the truth in the future!
Feng Haixuan considered it carefully and said, "It was given to me by an old man surnamed Ye."
Ye Qiutang tightened his palms and asked, "Do you know the name of that old man named Ye? Why did he give you this jade pendant?"
Feng Haixuan sighed secretly in his heart, and explained: "I don't know the name of that old man Ye. He gave me this jade pendant when I did him a small favor. I wondered if I would hold this jade pendant. If you use it, I will give it to you again, does Tangtang mind?"
Mind what?Do you mind if Feng Haixuan borrows flowers to offer Buddha?
Ye Qiutang was almost led astray by him, so he asked again: "Then do you have the contact information of Mr. Ye?"
"There is no contact information." Feng Haixuan replied, "At that time, there was no suitable contact information."
Ye Qiutang automatically interpreted this as the time when Feng Haixuan didn't have a mobile phone before.
He was about to ask some more questions when Feng Haixuan interrupted him.
"Tangtang, I have something to say, let's talk about it when we meet in the future, okay?"
He was worried that Ye Qiutang would get angry and even ignore him if he dragged it out on the phone now.But he still has no way to find Ye Qiutang and apologize to him.
Ye Qiutang's heart skipped a beat, it was obvious that the little Taoist priest had something to hide from him.
Is there anything you can't say?Do you have to meet each other before talking?
It seems that the old foodie didn't fool him!
Their family business must have a magical connection with him and Feng Haixuan.
He thought for a while and said, "Alright, then we can have a frank chat when we meet!"
It's only been a few days anyway, Ye Qiutang secretly smiled inwardly.
Feng Haixuan breathed a sigh of relief, and changed the subject, "Is Tangtang done with today's work? Are you going home now?"
"I'm still here with my uncle. I don't have anything to talk about. I still have something to talk to my uncle."
Feng Haixuan said in his heart, as expected, it's no wonder that Tangtang suddenly asked about the jade pendant.
When he originally gave the jade pendant, he had thought that Ye Qiutang might recognize the jade pendant, and then came to ask him.
But Ye Qiutang hadn't mentioned it for so long, so he knew that Ye Qiutang didn't know the origin of the jade pendant at all.
He had imagined countless reasons why Ye Qiutang might discover the truth, but he never thought it would be because of this jade pendant.
That's fine, now I've given Ye Qiutang a hint in his heart, so that he can be prepared, and maybe he won't be so hard to accept when he learns the truth.
Ye Qiutang hung up the phone and told Uncle Ye, "My friend said it was given to him by an old man surnamed Ye."
The old man surnamed Ye?
Uncle Ye and Ye Qiutang's fathers are middle-aged now, so they can't be regarded as old men, and their jade pendants are still well kept at home.
Then it can only be counted up one generation, which is the generation of Grandpa Ye Qiutang and the others.
People of that generation liked to have more children. Although Ye Qiutang's grandfather had passed away, he still had several brothers and sisters alive. I don't know if they gave it away.
But these old people are not young now, and Uncle Ye felt that it was not appropriate to simply make a phone call to ask about this jade pendant, so he decided to find time for himself to take a trip.
"Does Tangtang want to go with me?" Uncle Ye suggested, "It's been a long time since you saw your grandparents and aunts, right?"
Ye Qiutang quickly shook his head, the child was terrified.
It's not that he's not filial, and it's not that he has a feud with some elders, it's that those grandparents and aunts are really too keen to lead him a red line.
I think when he was only 18 years old, those grandparents and aunts started to arrange marriage for him.
So scary, so scary.
He has been avoiding it all these years.
Uncle Ye also knew this, and couldn't help but tease: "Tangtang is actually not young, and it's time to fall in love and get married."
Ye Qiutang pursed his lips in embarrassment, and after a while he said: "Uncle, I have someone I like, and when the opportunity is right, I will bring him to see you."
His parents are very open-minded, so he doesn't worry at all that his parents can't accept the fact that his partner is of the same sex, but it's not easy to say about Uncle Ye.
And he should tell his parents first about his love affairs.
Because of Uncle Ye and Mrs. Ye's warm hospitality, Ye Qiutang walked out of Uncle Ye's villa on the third day, and brought a carload of delicious and fun things with him.
He drove the car and galloped freely on the road, like a young eagle that had just learned to fly.
All he thought was that he was going to see Feng Haixuan.
It's just that he still has things to prepare before going to see Feng Haixuan.
Having stayed in the country for too long, his hair grew long, and he found it troublesome. Teacher Tony from the town has always been there to give him a little trim and cut it shorter.
There is no such thing as a hairstyle these days.
He had to get his hair done and then go shopping for two date-appropriate clothes.
This delay was another two or three days.
In fact, it could also be said that Ye Qiutang was delaying time on purpose. He wanted to meet that person, but he was worried that something might go wrong after the meeting.
He was afraid that the higher his expectations, the higher his disappointment would be.
There are too many secrets between him and Feng Haixuan.
The closer he got to the meeting, the more nervous he became.
Perhaps it can also be described as: closer to the hometown is more timid?
Alas, I didn't expect him to become so timid one day.
In the past, he always felt that there was something between himself and Feng Haixuan.Even if it doesn't work out in the end, we can still be friends.
But if they don't make it now, they can't be friends.
How can you be friends with peace of mind if you have been tempted?
After struggling for a few days, Ye Qiutang finally gritted his teeth, changed himself into newly bought clothes, then carefully sorted out a discovery, and drove towards the address Lin Qiuqian gave him.
A total of three to four hundred kilometers away, and half a day to reach the foot of the mountain.
It's just that he was a little confused when he got to the foot of the mountain.
Feng Haixuan said earlier that their place is relatively barren, and the conditions of the villagers at the foot of the mountain are very average, and it can even be said that they are poor.
However, Ye Qiutang looked at the villagers at the foot of the mountain, and saw that the conditions were quite good. Every household was a self-built small western-style building on the second or third floor.
And he saw that the road up the mountain was built with cement roads, unlike what Feng Haixuan said was an old mountain road.
Feng Haixuan lied to him?
Ye Qiutang was full of doubts, and asked a villager to pretend to ask for directions: "Brother, is there a Taoist temple on this mountain?"
The villager saw that he was a young guy, he should be from other places, and explained enthusiastically: "There is a Taoist temple on the mountain, and usually many people come to offer incense. Is the guy also here to worship the God of Wealth?"
Ye Qiutang's doubts deepened, and he asked again, "Is this Taoist temple called Sanqing Temple?"
"It's called the Temple of Sanqing, but we also call it the Temple of the God of Wealth." The villager replied, "The most effective thing about this temple is their God of Wealth. Don't you see that the villages at the foot of our mountain are all quite well-off."
Hearing that it was the Sanqing Temple, Ye Qiutang's frowning brows relaxed.
He thought, maybe Feng Haixuan must have been the same as him back then, he didn't want to reveal his address, so he lied that the foot of the mountain was poor.
This is understandable, it's human nature.
After all, no one is stupid enough to open the door and apply for a household registration book when they meet a friend online.
Once he figured this out, Ye Qiutang no longer struggled.
He followed the road pointed by the villagers and parked the car in the parking lot at the foot of the mountain.
He was going to call Feng Haixuan and ask Feng Haixuan if he would like to go down the mountain today.
If Feng Haixuan still has things to arrange, then he will wait at the foot of the mountain for another two days. Of course, if Feng Haixuan can go down the mountain today, then they can meet today
Ye Qiutang became more and more excited as he thought about it.
At this moment, two young Taoist priests in Taoist robes passed by his car, but one of the Taoist priests seemed to have injured his foot, and was limping forward with the support of another Taoist priest.
Ye Qiutang thought that the Taoist priest who could appear here must be the Taoist priest of the Sanqing Temple, maybe Feng Haixuan's senior brother.
Thinking of this, he immediately opened the car door and got out of the car, shouting: "Is there anything I can do for the Taoist priest?"
The two turned their heads and were slightly taken aback, "Is there something wrong with this layman?"
Maybe Taoist priests are all masters of nonsense, Ye Qiutang thought to himself, I asked you if you were all right, why did you ask me what's the other way around?
Ye Qiutang cleared his throat and said, "I see that this Daoist has injured his leg, so I asked if you need help?"
"Thank you, layman." The crippled Taoist priest said: "Poverty Taoist's foot was accidentally injured while working in the Taoist temple. I just went down the mountain to buy medicine this morning, and I'm about to go up the mountain now. Woolen cloth."
Limping up the hill?Ye Qiutang couldn't believe it.
He asked again, "How long will it take to walk up the mountain from here?"
"If you travel quickly, you can usually reach the Taoist temple in a little over two hours." The Taoist replied.
More than two hours, that's not too close.
Ye Qiutang looked at the crippled Taoist priest, and an idea came to his mind.
"If the Taoist priest doesn't mind, just take my car. I just happen to be going up the mountain too."
He was thinking now that it would be the same to call Feng Haixuan after arriving at the gate of the Taoist temple.
Even if Feng Haixuan couldn't go down the mountain with him today, he would take this opportunity to meet him first.
It's a good thing to have a car, and the two Taoist priests didn't refuse. After thanking Ye Qiutang, they got into the car with him.
Ye Qiutang set off in the car, wondering if he could get some information from the two Taoist priests first.
He asked the good-legged Taoist sitting in front: "Master Taoist, do you usually only rely on walking when going up and down the mountain?"
"No." The Taoist said, "There is actually a bus in the Taoist temple, but recently the masters went to a Taoist seminar, so they drove the bus away."
Ye Qiutang's eyebrows furrowed again.
The Taoist temple can afford a bus, so it shouldn't be too poor.
Then why did he still hear Feng Haixuan say that all the viewers rely on their own farming to grow food?
And Feng Haixuan even showed him the vegetable field he planted.
Is it possible that the achievement is just because of being thrifty and doing it yourself to have enough food and clothing?
Also, since the Taoist temple can afford a bus, it proves that going down the mountain is not very difficult.
To put it more bluntly, even if there is no car, it will take more than two hours to walk up the mountain. How can Feng Haixuan say that he has not been down the mountain much?
You can't be more dead than him, right?
Just when Ye Qiutang was about to ask something more, he suddenly saw in the rearview mirror that the lame Taoist priest in the back seat was holding his mobile phone, pressing it crackling, and smiling brightly.
Ye Qiutang teased casually: "Master Daoist, are you sending messages to your girlfriend? So happy."
The lame Taoist priest in the back seat was slightly taken aback.
Then he explained: "We are Taoist priests, how can we have girlfriends? I was just telling my seniors that I met a kind-hearted man, and I went up the mountain in the car of a kind-hearted man."
Doubts grew wildly in Ye Qiutang's heart, and he asked again: "Aren't you upright Taoist priests? I heard that upright Taoist priests can fall in love and get married."
"It's true that people from the righteous sect can get married." The lame Taoist said, "But we belong to the Quanzhen sect. Our Quanzhen sect does not allow love marriages."
Ye Qiutang's heart skipped a beat again.
What exactly is going on?
Did he find the wrong place, or was Feng Haixuan lying to him?
Ye Qiutang was full of doubts.He didn't know what more questions to ask.
Knowing that driving halfway up the mountain, you can already see the incense tower of the Taoist temple!
Ye Qiutang decided to ask directly.
"Two priests, is there a priest named Haixuan in your Taoist temple?"
The two little Taoist priests looked at each other, as if they were recalling whether there was a Taoist priest named Haixuan in their Taoist temple.
Anyway, the dao names of their generation don't have the characters of Hai and Xuan, so they can only belong to the previous generation or the previous generation.
The two counted the masters and elders of the Taoist temple one by one.
"There should be no Taoist priest named Hai Xuan." The lame Taoist said.
Ye Qiutang's heart was almost twisted into a twist.
He kept thinking, did Lin Qiuqian check the wrong address, or was Feng Haixuan lying to him?
It's fine to lie to him, but how can he lie about his name?
No, he didn't believe that Feng Haixuan was such a person.
So now he is more inclined to find Lin Qiuqian's wrong address.
But what is the truth, he will be able to see clearly after going to the Tao.
It takes more than two hours to walk up the mountain, but it takes half an hour to drive.
This Taoist temple is built with a parking lot, which is specially provided for pilgrims.
Seeing this, Ye Qiutang can be almost [-]% sure that this Taoist temple must be rich.
Think about it too, how could a Taoist temple famous for its God of Wealth be poor?
Ye Qiutang pretended that he was just an ordinary tourist traveling up the mountain and followed two young Taoists into the Taoist temple.
This Taoist temple looks antique from the outside, and it has a sense of age, but when he walks inside, he feels that this Taoist temple is a bit too commercial.
Ye Qiutang suggested that the Taoist priest with good legs and feet take him to burn a stick of incense, and then show him around the Taoist temple.
The young Taoist priest naturally had no objection, after all, he kindly took them up the mountain just now.
The young Taoist priest was also very talkative. While leading Ye Qiutang the way, he explained to Ye Qiutang from time to time.
Ye Qiutang looked at it and sighed, this Taoist temple is much bigger and more prosperous than the Taoist temple of the old foodie.
It's just that no matter how big the Taoist temple is, it won't last long.
The young Taoist priest dutifully took him around the Taoist temple.
However, Ye Qiutang did not see any Taoist priests as tall as Feng Haixuan in the Taoist temple, nor did he see the little Taoist boy he had seen in the photo, nor did he see the small courtyard he had seen in the video .
He must have gone to the wrong place, Ye Qiutang thought, and Lin Qiuqian was all to blame for being unreliable.
If the technology is not in place, why do people pick up addresses?
If I had known that he shouldn't have been entangled a few days ago, I should have just come over to take a look, oh, what a waste of time.
He suddenly felt a little stupid.
Even though Feng Haixuan agreed to meet him, why is he still doing these bastards?
Just ask Feng Haixuan directly.
Thinking of this, Ye Qiutang didn't stay in Sanqing Temple anymore.
After returning in vain, he drove for more than three hours and returned to his apartment.
Thinking about how to ask Feng Haixuan's address.
Said he was going to pick him up down the mountain?
Yes, let's do it like this. If the little Taoist temple is too far away, he has to prepare to buy a plane ticket. He doesn't want to drive a long distance by himself.
Ye Qiutang sent the message to Feng Haixuan.
After waiting for a long time without a reply, Ye Qiutang thought maybe he was busy, so he didn't call to urge her.
He didn't want to appear eager.
However, what he waited for first was Uncle Ye's call.
"Tangtang, if it's convenient for you now, come to uncle's place."
Ye Qiutang was taken aback and asked, "Did Yupei find any news?"
"Yes." Uncle Ye said, "I also found that hand-held diary of the ancestor you wanted to see earlier. I also found it from the basement. Come and get it."
So Ye Qiutang, who had been driving for almost a whole day, hurried to Uncle Ye's house with the car keys in his hands.
"Hey, Tangtang dressed up so vigorously today, uncle interrupted your date?"
Speaking of this, Ye Qiutang is embarrassed, he still wants to date, isn't this stupid looking for the wrong place?
Bai dressed up.
After Uncle Ye finished teasing, he began to talk about business: "I have asked the elders, and none of them gave away their jade pendants, nor did their descendants give out jade pendants."
So the jade pendant in Ye Qiutang's hand can only be one of the two pieces that the ancestor gave away at the beginning.
Uncle Ye was wondering if the jade pendant in Ye Qiutang's hand was just a coincidence.
"If you don't mind, lend your uncle that jade pendant to look at?
The jade pendants of their Ye family look exactly the same on the surface, but there is a universe inside.
Because the jade pendants are a pair and are also carved from the same stone, there is a place where the lines between one jade pendant and the other jade pendant meet.
It just so happened that this time Uncle Ye brought back the other half of the two yuan he had given away. Just compare and see.
Ye Qiutang almost always carried his fan with him. When Uncle Ye said this, he immediately took it out, then carefully took the jade pendant off the fan, and handed it to Uncle Ye.
Uncle Ye put on his reading glasses, took out a magnifying glass, and carefully identified them.
After a long while, he put down his things, "The piece in your hand is indeed the other half given by the ancestor, or the half given to that Taoist priest."
Ye Qiutang froze for a moment, something suddenly flashed through his mind, but he didn't catch it accurately.
Uncle Ye asked again: "What does that friend of yours do?"
"Taoist." Ye Qiutang replied, "My friend is also a Taoist."
Uncle Ye's thoughts were almost the same as Ye Qiutang's before.
He also thought it might be that the Taoist priest passed down the jade pendant, and then handed it to Ye Qiutang's friend, and finally that Taoist friend gave it to Ye Qiutang as a gift by mistake.
But Ye Qiutang didn't think so now.
"Uncle, what about the notebook you mentioned, can you show me it now?"
The ancestors' diaries and recipes are locked in the cabinet. More than 100 years have passed, and they are still well preserved.
Uncle Ye handed the things into Ye Qiutang's hands, and said: "Be careful, these are all relics of our ancestors, we must not damage them."
Ye Qiutang nodded in agreement, and then began to open and browse without hesitation.
The letters are all written in traditional Chinese characters.
Ye Qiutang could recognize it, but after getting used to the simplified characters, it was still a bit difficult to read.
He could only slowly flip through the pages.
Until, he saw two very familiar words in this notebook - Haixuan.
No, it can't be!
Ye Qiutang read this article carefully from beginning to end.
The priest who gave the ancestors the cosmetic formula was indeed called Haixuan.
The author has something to say: We should meet tomorrow.
Thank you little cuties for the nutrient solution.
If the other party got it by accident, it's okay to say that giving the other party a sum of money compensation is enough.
But if the other party wants to use this jade pendant to repay favors and make Ye Qiutang do something bad.
This is more troublesome.
As long as it is not breaking the law and discipline, they have to help with all their strength, but there are so many disgusting things on the edge of the law, and they will not agree.
"Tangtang, tell uncle honestly, where did this jade pendant come from?"
Ye Qiutang didn't take it seriously at first, wasn't it just a jade pendant?
Although this jade pendant is not bad for planting water and is worth a little money, but he has always regarded this jade pendant as a bonus for the fan.
Seeing that his uncle is so serious now, he has no choice but to face it squarely.
"This jade pendant was indeed given to me by a friend of mine. At that time, this fan was sent along with it. This jade pendant was hung on the fan. I didn't think much about it."
Uncle Ye was silent for a moment, then asked again: "Has he ever mentioned the origin of this jade pendant? Or has he asked you anything?"
"I haven't even mentioned it." Ye Qiutang thought for a while and said, "I thought this jade pendant was worth less than this fan. Uncle, what's the story behind this jade pendant? Judging by your serious expression."
Uncle Ye sighed, and had to give Ye Qiutang a generalization about the origin of their Ye family's jade pendant, and the people he knew so far who could own these two jade pendants besides the Ye family.
Ye Qiutang was dumbfounded.
But, but this is wrong!
Feng Haixuan has never been out of the mountains, where can he get this jade pendant?Has any elder in their family been to Feng Haixuan's Taoist temple?
Ye Qiutang sorted it out again. If the ancestor gave a jade pendant to a Taoist priest at that time, would Feng Haixuan's jade pendant be given to him by his master or his grand master?

There was no need for a thank you fee, Ye Qiutang felt that Feng Haixuan would not care about it.
But the phone still needs to be called, "Uncle, wait a moment, I will call him now."
The call was quickly connected
"Is Tangtang finished?" Feng Haixuan's concerned voice came from the receiver.
Ye Qiutang was rather embarrassed, "I have a question to ask you, is it convenient for you now?"
"What's the matter? It's okay for Tangtang to say it." Feng Haixuan's heart shuddered, and he suddenly felt flustered.
"It's like this..." Ye Qiutang said bluntly: "It's the fan you gave me. Where did the leaf jade pendant on it come from?"
Feng Haixuan thought, did Tangtang really start to notice something?
Will Tangtang blame him?
What he has always been most afraid of is that Ye Qiutang will blame him and be angry with him when he finds out the truth in the future!
Feng Haixuan considered it carefully and said, "It was given to me by an old man surnamed Ye."
Ye Qiutang tightened his palms and asked, "Do you know the name of that old man named Ye? Why did he give you this jade pendant?"
Feng Haixuan sighed secretly in his heart, and explained: "I don't know the name of that old man Ye. He gave me this jade pendant when I did him a small favor. I wondered if I would hold this jade pendant. If you use it, I will give it to you again, does Tangtang mind?"
Mind what?Do you mind if Feng Haixuan borrows flowers to offer Buddha?

He thought for a while and said, "Alright, then we can have a frank chat when we meet!"
It's only been a few days anyway, Ye Qiutang secretly smiled inwardly.
Feng Haixuan breathed a sigh of relief, and changed the subject, "Is Tangtang done with today's work? Are you going home now?"
"I'm still here with my uncle. I don't have anything to talk about. I still have something to talk to my uncle."
Feng Haixuan said in his heart, as expected, it's no wonder that Tangtang suddenly asked about the jade pendant.
When he originally gave the jade pendant, he had thought that Ye Qiutang might recognize the jade pendant, and then came to ask him.
But Ye Qiutang hadn't mentioned it for so long, so he knew that Ye Qiutang didn't know the origin of the jade pendant at all.

The old man surnamed Ye?

So scary, so scary.
He has been avoiding it all these years.

Ye Qiutang pursed his lips in embarrassment, and after a while he said: "Uncle, I have someone I like, and when the opportunity is right, I will bring him to see you."
His parents are very open-minded, so he doesn't worry at all that his parents can't accept the fact that his partner is of the same sex, but it's not easy to say about Uncle Ye.

But if they don't make it now, they can't be friends.
How can you be friends with peace of mind if you have been tempted?
After struggling for a few days, Ye Qiutang finally gritted his teeth, changed himself into newly bought clothes, then carefully sorted out a discovery, and drove towards the address Lin Qiuqian gave him.
A total of three to four hundred kilometers away, and half a day to reach the foot of the mountain.
It's just that he was a little confused when he got to the foot of the mountain.
Feng Haixuan said earlier that their place is relatively barren, and the conditions of the villagers at the foot of the mountain are very average, and it can even be said that they are poor.
However, Ye Qiutang looked at the villagers at the foot of the mountain, and saw that the conditions were quite good. Every household was a self-built small western-style building on the second or third floor.
And he saw that the road up the mountain was built with cement roads, unlike what Feng Haixuan said was an old mountain road.
Feng Haixuan lied to him?
Ye Qiutang was full of doubts, and asked a villager to pretend to ask for directions: "Brother, is there a Taoist temple on this mountain?"
The villager saw that he was a young guy, he should be from other places, and explained enthusiastically: "There is a Taoist temple on the mountain, and usually many people come to offer incense. Is the guy also here to worship the God of Wealth?"
Ye Qiutang's doubts deepened, and he asked again, "Is this Taoist temple called Sanqing Temple?"
"It's called the Temple of Sanqing, but we also call it the Temple of the God of Wealth." The villager replied, "The most effective thing about this temple is their God of Wealth. Don't you see that the villages at the foot of our mountain are all quite well-off."
Hearing that it was the Sanqing Temple, Ye Qiutang's frowning brows relaxed.
He thought, maybe Feng Haixuan must have been the same as him back then, he didn't want to reveal his address, so he lied that the foot of the mountain was poor.
This is understandable, it's human nature.
After all, no one is stupid enough to open the door and apply for a household registration book when they meet a friend online.
Once he figured this out, Ye Qiutang no longer struggled.
He followed the road pointed by the villagers and parked the car in the parking lot at the foot of the mountain.
He was going to call Feng Haixuan and ask Feng Haixuan if he would like to go down the mountain today.
If Feng Haixuan still has things to arrange, then he will wait at the foot of the mountain for another two days. Of course, if Feng Haixuan can go down the mountain today, then they can meet today
Ye Qiutang became more and more excited as he thought about it.
At this moment, two young Taoist priests in Taoist robes passed by his car, but one of the Taoist priests seemed to have injured his foot, and was limping forward with the support of another Taoist priest.
Ye Qiutang thought that the Taoist priest who could appear here must be the Taoist priest of the Sanqing Temple, maybe Feng Haixuan's senior brother.
Thinking of this, he immediately opened the car door and got out of the car, shouting: "Is there anything I can do for the Taoist priest?"
The two turned their heads and were slightly taken aback, "Is there something wrong with this layman?"
Maybe Taoist priests are all masters of nonsense, Ye Qiutang thought to himself, I asked you if you were all right, why did you ask me what's the other way around?
Ye Qiutang cleared his throat and said, "I see that this Daoist has injured his leg, so I asked if you need help?"
"Thank you, layman." The crippled Taoist priest said: "Poverty Taoist's foot was accidentally injured while working in the Taoist temple. I just went down the mountain to buy medicine this morning, and I'm about to go up the mountain now. Woolen cloth."
Limping up the hill?Ye Qiutang couldn't believe it.
He asked again, "How long will it take to walk up the mountain from here?"
"If you travel quickly, you can usually reach the Taoist temple in a little over two hours." The Taoist replied.
More than two hours, that's not too close.
Ye Qiutang looked at the crippled Taoist priest, and an idea came to his mind.
"If the Taoist priest doesn't mind, just take my car. I just happen to be going up the mountain too."
He was thinking now that it would be the same to call Feng Haixuan after arriving at the gate of the Taoist temple.
Even if Feng Haixuan couldn't go down the mountain with him today, he would take this opportunity to meet him first.
It's a good thing to have a car, and the two Taoist priests didn't refuse. After thanking Ye Qiutang, they got into the car with him.
Ye Qiutang set off in the car, wondering if he could get some information from the two Taoist priests first.
He asked the good-legged Taoist sitting in front: "Master Taoist, do you usually only rely on walking when going up and down the mountain?"
"No." The Taoist said, "There is actually a bus in the Taoist temple, but recently the masters went to a Taoist seminar, so they drove the bus away."
Ye Qiutang's eyebrows furrowed again.
The Taoist temple can afford a bus, so it shouldn't be too poor.
Then why did he still hear Feng Haixuan say that all the viewers rely on their own farming to grow food?
And Feng Haixuan even showed him the vegetable field he planted.
Is it possible that the achievement is just because of being thrifty and doing it yourself to have enough food and clothing?
Also, since the Taoist temple can afford a bus, it proves that going down the mountain is not very difficult.
To put it more bluntly, even if there is no car, it will take more than two hours to walk up the mountain. How can Feng Haixuan say that he has not been down the mountain much?
You can't be more dead than him, right?
Just when Ye Qiutang was about to ask something more, he suddenly saw in the rearview mirror that the lame Taoist priest in the back seat was holding his mobile phone, pressing it crackling, and smiling brightly.
Ye Qiutang teased casually: "Master Daoist, are you sending messages to your girlfriend? So happy."
The lame Taoist priest in the back seat was slightly taken aback.
Then he explained: "We are Taoist priests, how can we have girlfriends? I was just telling my seniors that I met a kind-hearted man, and I went up the mountain in the car of a kind-hearted man."
Doubts grew wildly in Ye Qiutang's heart, and he asked again: "Aren't you upright Taoist priests? I heard that upright Taoist priests can fall in love and get married."
"It's true that people from the righteous sect can get married." The lame Taoist said, "But we belong to the Quanzhen sect. Our Quanzhen sect does not allow love marriages."
Ye Qiutang's heart skipped a beat again.
What exactly is going on?
Did he find the wrong place, or was Feng Haixuan lying to him?
Ye Qiutang was full of doubts.He didn't know what more questions to ask.
Knowing that driving halfway up the mountain, you can already see the incense tower of the Taoist temple!
Ye Qiutang decided to ask directly.
"Two priests, is there a priest named Haixuan in your Taoist temple?"
The two little Taoist priests looked at each other, as if they were recalling whether there was a Taoist priest named Haixuan in their Taoist temple.
Anyway, the dao names of their generation don't have the characters of Hai and Xuan, so they can only belong to the previous generation or the previous generation.
The two counted the masters and elders of the Taoist temple one by one.
"There should be no Taoist priest named Hai Xuan." The lame Taoist said.
Ye Qiutang's heart was almost twisted into a twist.
He kept thinking, did Lin Qiuqian check the wrong address, or was Feng Haixuan lying to him?
It's fine to lie to him, but how can he lie about his name?
No, he didn't believe that Feng Haixuan was such a person.
So now he is more inclined to find Lin Qiuqian's wrong address.
But what is the truth, he will be able to see clearly after going to the Tao.
It takes more than two hours to walk up the mountain, but it takes half an hour to drive.
This Taoist temple is built with a parking lot, which is specially provided for pilgrims.
Seeing this, Ye Qiutang can be almost [-]% sure that this Taoist temple must be rich.
Think about it too, how could a Taoist temple famous for its God of Wealth be poor?
Ye Qiutang pretended that he was just an ordinary tourist traveling up the mountain and followed two young Taoists into the Taoist temple.
This Taoist temple looks antique from the outside, and it has a sense of age, but when he walks inside, he feels that this Taoist temple is a bit too commercial.
Ye Qiutang suggested that the Taoist priest with good legs and feet take him to burn a stick of incense, and then show him around the Taoist temple.
The young Taoist priest naturally had no objection, after all, he kindly took them up the mountain just now.
The young Taoist priest was also very talkative. While leading Ye Qiutang the way, he explained to Ye Qiutang from time to time.
Ye Qiutang looked at it and sighed, this Taoist temple is much bigger and more prosperous than the Taoist temple of the old foodie.
It's just that no matter how big the Taoist temple is, it won't last long.
The young Taoist priest dutifully took him around the Taoist temple.
However, Ye Qiutang did not see any Taoist priests as tall as Feng Haixuan in the Taoist temple, nor did he see the little Taoist boy he had seen in the photo, nor did he see the small courtyard he had seen in the video .
He must have gone to the wrong place, Ye Qiutang thought, and Lin Qiuqian was all to blame for being unreliable.
If the technology is not in place, why do people pick up addresses?
If I had known that he shouldn't have been entangled a few days ago, I should have just come over to take a look, oh, what a waste of time.
He suddenly felt a little stupid.
Even though Feng Haixuan agreed to meet him, why is he still doing these bastards?
Just ask Feng Haixuan directly.
Thinking of this, Ye Qiutang didn't stay in Sanqing Temple anymore.
After returning in vain, he drove for more than three hours and returned to his apartment.
Thinking about how to ask Feng Haixuan's address.
Said he was going to pick him up down the mountain?
Yes, let's do it like this. If the little Taoist temple is too far away, he has to prepare to buy a plane ticket. He doesn't want to drive a long distance by himself.
Ye Qiutang sent the message to Feng Haixuan.
After waiting for a long time without a reply, Ye Qiutang thought maybe he was busy, so he didn't call to urge her.
He didn't want to appear eager.
However, what he waited for first was Uncle Ye's call.
"Tangtang, if it's convenient for you now, come to uncle's place."
Ye Qiutang was taken aback and asked, "Did Yupei find any news?"
"Yes." Uncle Ye said, "I also found that hand-held diary of the ancestor you wanted to see earlier. I also found it from the basement. Come and get it."
So Ye Qiutang, who had been driving for almost a whole day, hurried to Uncle Ye's house with the car keys in his hands.
"Hey, Tangtang dressed up so vigorously today, uncle interrupted your date?"
Speaking of this, Ye Qiutang is embarrassed, he still wants to date, isn't this stupid looking for the wrong place?
Bai dressed up.
After Uncle Ye finished teasing, he began to talk about business: "I have asked the elders, and none of them gave away their jade pendants, nor did their descendants give out jade pendants."
So the jade pendant in Ye Qiutang's hand can only be one of the two pieces that the ancestor gave away at the beginning.
Uncle Ye was wondering if the jade pendant in Ye Qiutang's hand was just a coincidence.
"If you don't mind, lend your uncle that jade pendant to look at?
The jade pendants of their Ye family look exactly the same on the surface, but there is a universe inside.
Because the jade pendants are a pair and are also carved from the same stone, there is a place where the lines between one jade pendant and the other jade pendant meet.
It just so happened that this time Uncle Ye brought back the other half of the two yuan he had given away. Just compare and see.
Ye Qiutang almost always carried his fan with him. When Uncle Ye said this, he immediately took it out, then carefully took the jade pendant off the fan, and handed it to Uncle Ye.
Uncle Ye put on his reading glasses, took out a magnifying glass, and carefully identified them.
After a long while, he put down his things, "The piece in your hand is indeed the other half given by the ancestor, or the half given to that Taoist priest."
Ye Qiutang froze for a moment, something suddenly flashed through his mind, but he didn't catch it accurately.
Uncle Ye asked again: "What does that friend of yours do?"
"Taoist." Ye Qiutang replied, "My friend is also a Taoist."
Uncle Ye's thoughts were almost the same as Ye Qiutang's before.
He also thought it might be that the Taoist priest passed down the jade pendant, and then handed it to Ye Qiutang's friend, and finally that Taoist friend gave it to Ye Qiutang as a gift by mistake.
But Ye Qiutang didn't think so now.
"Uncle, what about the notebook you mentioned, can you show me it now?"
The ancestors' diaries and recipes are locked in the cabinet. More than 100 years have passed, and they are still well preserved.
Uncle Ye handed the things into Ye Qiutang's hands, and said: "Be careful, these are all relics of our ancestors, we must not damage them."
Ye Qiutang nodded in agreement, and then began to open and browse without hesitation.
The letters are all written in traditional Chinese characters.
Ye Qiutang could recognize it, but after getting used to the simplified characters, it was still a bit difficult to read.
He could only slowly flip through the pages.
Until, he saw two very familiar words in this notebook - Haixuan.
No, it can't be!
Ye Qiutang read this article carefully from beginning to end.
The priest who gave the ancestors the cosmetic formula was indeed called Haixuan.
The author has something to say: We should meet tomorrow.
Thank you little cuties for the nutrient solution.
