This feeling is even more strange than hearing Su Su say "there are ghosts" just now.

For a moment, everyone became quiet.

If there is a ghost or a dangerous enemy with a sharp weapon, these guards can rush up to fight, but when a Taoist temple appears, everyone is a little confused about what to do. After all, we are still somewhat taboo to monks from top to bottom.

Wenhu and Wenbao walked to Pei Yuanhao and whispered: "Your Majesty, do you have to send someone in to find out first?"

Pei Yuanhao hesitated a little, and I hurriedly turned to him and said, "Your Majesty, no."

He also looked at me: "Why?"

I said, "We came in just to ask people for things. No matter what strange people and things there are in this place, they are all things in this place. If they have nothing to do with what we are going to do, we should not disturb you if it is so late, so as not to cause trouble."

Pei Yuanhao showed a smile on his face, nodded gently, and said, "What you said makes sense."

I only said less than half of my words, but he should also understand that this place is Xichuan, not the Central Plains that belong to him. No matter how strange the people here are, the scenery is novel, it has nothing to do with him. He can only see it, but not care about it.

Ultimately, we are the ones who are outside, disturbing others.

I said, "Let's go and take a look first. If you can't find that person, it's not too late to inquire with the people in the Taoist temple."

Pei Yuanhao nodded, then turned around and ordered, "Let's go and have a look first. If there is nothing else, don't disturb the others here."

Wenhu and Wenbao immediately said: "Yes."

So, everyone walked forward together.

In the rain, the Taoist temple at the foot of the mountain became clear in our sight.

It was just a small Taoist temple, which was not large in size, probably the size of one or two acres of land. The door was very small and neat, and it was pitch black and there was no light at all. Obviously, everyone was asleep and the door was tightly closed, but when they approached, they could still smell a faint, strange fragrance from the cold and humid air.

However, no matter from which perspective, this is a very ordinary Taoist temple.

I just have a little doubt. Why is Taoist temples cultivated here? It is said that there are not many people living in this place, and the incense will not be too strong. Of course, not every statue of god wants to be worshiped by the world. Some wise men do not deal with people very much. They guard in front of the alchemy furnace every day to refine elixirs, facing sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal.

Alchemy...?

Thinking of this, I felt a little clear about it. This place is located deep in the mountains and is surrounded by minerals, so it is easy to get what they need for alchemy.

At the foot of this mountain is a large open open space, which is always as big as one or two hectares of land. With the light of fire, you can also see many outcropping mineral veins on the ground, including some mine caves at the foot of the mountain, which are painted black and are illuminated by the fire, which is extremely deep.

At the foot of the mountain, we asked a few people to take torches and look around, but we didn't see the same village as Tiejia Village outside, but at the foot of the mountain, they saw a small house.

The house is a single-family house, neither a Taoist temple nor a village, but only a house stands alone. However, it looks like a very comfortable place to go. The house is hanging in the air. The few pillars below support the entire house, which can avoid snakes and insects, and is cool. There are some black things hanging under the eaves, which look like wild game. I don’t know how long it has been hanging, but they are a little corrupt and emit an unpleasant stench.

Two people walked up and looked at it. There was no light or voice inside, and it seemed that no one lived there.

But that's the case, someone should live there, have you left?

Several people sent by Wenhu and Wenbao came back. Someone came to report that there seemed to be a road between the two mountains in front, leading to a deeper place, but if you want to go in, you don’t know where you are going.

We should first clarify the people and things in this place.

Pei Yuanhao said: "It seems that you still have to go over and ask the people in that Taoist temple."

I thought about it and said, "Don't be scared of them, just go and take a look first."

"Um."

So everyone walked to the front of the Taoist temple again. When Pei Yuanhao was about to send someone to find out, a very light sound came from inside, as if someone opened the door inside and walked out. When everyone heard footsteps, they immediately became quiet.

A faint light came out from under the door, slowly getting closer and closer. We were all waiting quietly, and then we heard a creaking sound. The door of the Taoist temple was opened, and a small head was carefully poked out from inside. He just glanced at us, then with a "ah" sound, he shrank back and slammed the door and closed it again.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

When we first saw this Taoist temple, we were still very scared. Unexpectedly, now that we are here, we are scared of the people inside. Just as I just thought, we are outsiders and disturb the quiet people here.

The door was closed, and the knocker was still shaking and constantly hitting the door. The people inside asked carefully: "Who are you? Are you robbers?"

The voice is a young man, probably a Taoist boy.

Pei Yuanhao couldn't help but shake his head. People like him, such a posture, could even be regarded as a robber.

I looked at the people on his side. They were indeed tall and strong men. No wonder they were frightened. So I reached out and signaled them not to speak. Then I nodded to Susu. Seeing that this Taoist temple was really ordinary and nothing scary, Susu calmed down and said, "Don't be afraid, we are not robbers, we are here to find people."

When I heard the girl's voice, there was a little movement inside.

After a while, the door opened again.

A man walked out of the gate timidly. He was indeed a Taoist boy. He was only in his teens, not tall, thin, dressed in messy clothes and his hair was messy. He probably had just gotten up from the quilt. He glanced at Susu, then looked at us, and then said, "Who are you looking for?"

Su Su looked back at me.

Then I suddenly realized that we only knew the title of "old guy", but we didn't know what the name of that "old guy" was.

This is embarrassing.

I thought about it, then rode my horse over and said with a smile: "Master Xiao, let's find the master of Tieyushan."

The child's face immediately changed.

As soon as I saw it, I knew he must have known this person.

However, he took a step back, one leg had already retreated to the threshold, and one hand was also placed on the door, showing a look of being ready to close the door at any time, and asked, "What are you asking him for?"

I smiled and tried to make my expression look amiable: "We have something important to him."

However, I don’t know if the flames around me were constantly swaying by the rain. The firelight shone on my face might not be as kind as I thought. Instead, it made the Taoist boy look more alert and said, “What’s the important thing? You won’t be here to coerce him too, right?”

also?

I couldn't help but turn my head and look at Pei Yuanhao. When the two of them heard this word, they felt something.

Could it be that besides us, there are other people who have come to this "old guy" these days, and the purpose is to coerce?

I hurriedly smiled at the boy and said, "How could that happen?"

“…”

"Look at us, we-" I turned around and looked at the people on Pei Yuanhao's side, and suddenly said something, and then immediately reached out to myself: "How come we are like those who commit crimes?"

The Taoist boy looked at me and said, "It's hard to say that the world is in chaos now, and there are also female robbers."

“…”

The smile on my face was a little unhurried, Su Su immediately became angry and pointed at the Taoist boy and scolded: "Speak well, what kind of robber? Is our eldest lady the kind of person? She can crush your Taoist temple even if she pulls her hair out. What's the pride?"

She was so fierce that the Taoist boy was more relaxed at her than at me, and he stepped out his leg: "Ah? You said, Miss?"

Du Yan said coldly: "This person is the eldest lady of the Yan family. Xichuan, don't you even know her, right?"

The Taoist boy looked even more shocked and looked at me in disbelief: "Miss Yan's family? You, are you the lady of the Yan family?"

I smiled and nodded, and was about to say something, he suddenly said, "I don't believe it, why did you come here!"

When Su Su heard this, she was about to get angry again. I reached out and held her hand, and said with a smile: "Then how do you want me to prove it?"

The Taoist boy thought for a while and said, "You wait a moment, I'll find someone to recognize him."

After saying that, he retreated and closed the door, and ran away.

Our group stopped outside, and they were a little amused, especially Pei Yuanhao and the others had never had such a rejection, and they didn't know how to deal with it. He smiled at me and said, "So, your name of the eldest lady of the Yan family is not that easy to use in Xichuan."

“…”

Su Su suddenly became a little anxious and said, "That's because they don't know."

As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps came from inside. This time there seemed to be another person. It seemed that the Taoist boy went in and found someone who came to recognize him.

Thinking of this, I came to my senses.

Recognize people? Is there anyone else who knows me in their Taoist temple?

Just as she was thinking, the door was opened again. The Taoist boy walked out, pointed at me with one hand, and said to the door: "It's her. She said she is the eldest lady of the Yan family. Do you see?"
