Chapter 107 Shangqing Temple
Realizing that Mao Zijun was secretly observing him, Xie Yuan showed a little surprise.
"I didn't expect your martial arts to be so good."
Mao Zijun raised his brows with a certain air of dignity: "I am a martial arts wizard who is said to be rare in a century. I have superb martial arts skills. Those four weaklings can't beat me. I can defeat them all by myself. If they hadn't found helpers and swarmed me, they wouldn't have been able to hurt me."
Xie Yuan showed an exaggerated expression: "Oh, so you are so powerful."
"That's natural!"
After showing off in front of Xie Yuan, Mao Zijun took the tray from his hand in a good mood. After taking two steps, he seemed to suddenly remember something. He stopped again and turned to look at Xie Yuan: "Thank you. You made breakfast for me.”
Xie Yuan nodded and said: "I won't be back at noon. There is everything in the kitchen. You can watch and do it by yourself."
Mao Zijun's expression froze when he heard this. Isn't this embarrassing! Looking at the person leaving, he hurriedly chased after him.
"How about you lend me some money? I'll go out to eat at noon."
"If you don't want this life anymore, that's okay!" Xie Yuan said calmly.
Mao Zijun smiled coquettishly: "I still want to live for a few more years! Don't worry, I will never go out."
After frightening Mao Zijun, Xie Yuan quickly entered the kitchen.
In the main hall next door, Jiang Mingyue put a crystal shrimp dumpling into his brother's bowl and asked, "Is that young man in Brother Xie's family your friend?"
Jiang Minghong nodded, knowing that his sister would definitely ask.
"His name is Mao Zijun. He is from Yuanjiang Prefecture just like us. He has extremely high Qinggong. The reason why I helped him is that I hope he can pass a family letter to us."
During these days, Jiang Mingyue had been thinking about how her younger brother would deliver the letters to his parents. It turned out that it was Mao Zijun.
"Can he avoid the spies around our house?"
"As long as he fully recovers, yes!" Jiang Minghong said firmly.
Mao Zijun is not only the most outstanding inheritor of this generation of the Mao family, but his Qinggong is also passed down to the best Qinggong master in the world. If he can grow up, his future achievements will never be low. Unfortunately, he died of a woman in his previous life. in hands.
It was he who saved him in this life, not that woman. I hope Mao Zijun can avoid her and avoid death.
Jiang Mingyue was completely relieved after hearing this.
"How long will it take for his injury to heal?"
"It should take about half a month to recover."
Jiang Mingyue's eyes suddenly lit up. Does that mean that her parents will receive their letters by the end of July?
"I don't know if my parents are okay now!"
Hearing the concern in his sister's words, Jiang Minghong held her hand and said warmly: "Don't worry, my parents are safe and there is no fear for their lives."
Jiang Mingyue said 'hmm'.
"It's getting late, sister, hurry up and leave! I'll ask Yu Gen to go with you."
"What should you do here?"
"There is also Pomegranate. I will ask Pomegranate to bring me food at noon. Besides, the gangsters who came to our county have left. Wanping is safe now. Sister, you don't have to worry about me."
"Okay then! I will go with Brother Xie to Shangqing to explore the way first. If it's fun, we, siblings, can go together next time."
"Okay! When we arrive at Shangqingguan, sister must follow Brother Xie closely and don't get separated from him." Jiang Minghong looked at his sister and specifically warned her.
"I see!"
After a while, the two siblings, who had finished packing, led Yu Gen out of the house. At that time, Xie Yuan was carrying a basket and had been waiting outside for a while.
The four of them walked out of the alley. Xie Yuan saw Jiang Minghong leaving, held the little woman's hand and said, "Let's go!"
"Well, should we go to the horse market first?" Jiang Mingyue asked.
Xie Yuan nodded.
While the two were talking, Yu Gen took the initiative to take away their baggage and carry the basket on his back.
The three of them came to the horse market, rented a carriage, and headed all the way to Shangqingguan.
In the carriage, Xie Yuan fastened the curtains, fanned the little woman, and asked, "Do you know the Shangqing Temple?"
"You told me before that it was one of the top ten attractions in Kyoto."
"Yes, Shangqing Temple is located in the east of Kyoto. It used to be a royal Taoist temple in the previous dynasty, but was later destroyed by war.
After the establishment of the Chu Dynasty, it was rebuilt. It is worth mentioning that the tiles in the main hall were glazed tiles given by Emperor Taigao at that time. When the sun shines on them, they are magnificent and magnificent. "
Jiang Mingyue was a little curious when she heard this and asked, "Did someone steal the tiles?"
"Of course there are. I used to hear people say that so and so came to steal the tiles again. Fortunately, the Taoist priests at Shangqingguan are highly skilled in martial arts, otherwise these tiles would have been gone."
Xie Yuan looked at the little woman and suddenly covered her mouth and laughed and asked, "But did you think of anything interesting?"
Jiang Mingyue nodded: "We used to have a painter named Zheng who was good at painting plum blossoms. He said that the plum blossoms he painted could attract butterflies, so everyone was proud to own one of his paintings.
In those years, his study would be visited several times. Those people are also quite interesting. They always leave something behind after taking the paintings, such as fish, crabs, shrimps, etc., and some even make up for the money afterwards. "
As soon as Xie Yuan heard this, he knew that these people were not gentlemen, but people from the Jianghu.
"and after?"
"Later, a fire broke out in Zheng's house. The man who went to get the painting risked his life to rescue him from the fire. Painter Zheng was grateful for his life-saving grace and became a brother of the opposite sex with him. From then on, there was no more love. People came to his house to pick up paintings.”
Xie Yuanzhi is because of his opposite-sex brother.
"In addition to glazed tiles, does Shangqing Temple also have waterfalls?"
Xie Yuan nodded: "In addition to waterfalls, there are also iron ropeways, stone forests, and peach forests. Some of the yellow peaches that mature earlier this season are ready to eat. We can buy some back then."
"Okay! Are there a lot of people visiting Shangqing Temple every year?"
"Ok!"
Jiang Mingyue grabbed Xie Yuan's hand.
"Then you must hold on tight to me. After all, I am as beautiful as a flower. If someone kidnaps me, you won't have anywhere to cry."
There was a smile in Xie Yuan's eyes, and he clasped his fingers with the little woman and said softly: "I will never let you leave my sight."
Jiang Mingyue chuckled when she heard this.
The time passed quickly as the two chatted, until the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down. Jiang Mingyue realized belatedly that they had arrived at Shangqing Temple, and Yu Gen's voice came in.
"There are many carriages ahead and it's hard to get through."
Xie Yuan glanced outside and said to the person beside him: "We may have to get out of the car and walk."
"it is good!"
Jiang Mingyue was helped out of the carriage by Xie Yuan, and saw many cars and sedans parked in front of her. It seemed that Shangqing Temple was more lively than she thought.
The two of them left Yu Gen to watch the carriage and walked towards the mountain gate hand in hand.
Along the way, they met many young people like them who came to Shangqingguan to visit, and there were also young couples who came with their children.
The two of them walked in the crowd without looking out of place, but it was probably because Xie Yuan was so good-looking. There was an endless stream of girls peeking at him. When their eyes fell on the hands of the two of them clasped together, they looked at each other again. They all looked away.
