Seeing Wu Daozi's appearance, Wang Quan couldn't bear it. He felt that he had to go up the mountain to seek enlightenment at such an old age. In fact, he was more pitiable than himself. The anger in his heart dissipated a lot, so he stopped talking and sat aside. After Wu Daoxuan had taken a breath and rested, he went up the mountain with him again.
There were no words between the two of them.
But there was a tacit understanding between them, and they stopped and stopped along the way. Even though there were many tourists going up and down the mountain, the flow of people did not separate them.
When it was getting dark, the two finally approached the top of Huashan Mountain and climbed to the Ziyun Temple.
Even though it is getting late today, and only a faint light can be seen on the top of Huashan Mountain, there are still crowds of people in front of Ziyun Temple. People coming from south to north gather in large numbers around Ziyun Temple, which has only one corner door. Some people He tried to force his way into the Taoist temple, but was severely stopped by the Taoist priest waiting in front of the corner gate.
Some people also circled the wall outside Ziyun Temple, looking for a low place to sneak into the wall.
——Those who climbed over the wall to get in were thrown out of the wall again in a moment.
The Taoist priest guarding the gate of Taoist Temple said loudly: "It's too late now, so you should go down the mountain quickly. Until early tomorrow morning, several of Master Yang's disciples will still be waiting for the first disciple in Ziyun Temple. Give guidance to all the twenty people who came to visit!”
As soon as the Taoist priest who guarded the gate finished speaking, bursts of noise suddenly erupted from the crowd.
The dissatisfaction of the people gathered outside the mountain gate suddenly overflowed.
"What words?!
We have been waiting for a whole day, and we can't even see Master Yang's disciples. Do we have to wait again tomorrow? ! "
"The mountain wind is so fierce that my old man's bones are almost falling apart. Please be kind to me, Taoist gentlemen, and let me go into the Taoist temple to warm myself up..."
"This old man is so pitiful. You cultivators have taken it as your duty to save the world, how can you not have compassion? Let him in quickly - I helped support the old man and sent him to the Taoist temple. I will leave on my own..."
"Master Yang has become famous now and doesn't take us people seriously anymore. He puts on such a big air..."
The Taoist priest guarding the gate turned pale because of the noise and jeers from the people in front of the mountain gate.
He held the door frame with one hand to resist those who wanted to sneak into the Taoist temple, and raised his voice again: "Not far from here, there is a place called Peach Blossom Valley.
Many residential buildings have been built there. Those who have difficulty going down the mountain can stay there for one night.
As for the rest... Pindao has told you many times that Master Yang is now a guest at Ziyun Temple. He has no intention of opening the door here to accept disciples. He couldn't help but let someone leak the news, so he asked his disciples to investigate on his behalf and wanted to come and become a disciple. qualifications of the person.
Twenty people every day have consumed a lot of energy from Master Yang and his team.
After all, they have business to attend to during this trip! "
The Taoist priest guarding the mountain finished speaking. Some of the people gathered in front of the mountain gate listened to his words. They shook their heads and sighed, then turned and walked down the mountain. They first went down to take a seat in the private houses in Taohuayu.
Some still stay where they are and refuse to leave.
Someone among them suddenly laughed strangely, and immediately became sarcastic: "There are not only twenty people gathered here now, but also hundreds of people!
Under such circumstances, Master Yang only released twenty places every day. He was clearly sending away beggars and treated us as beggars!
While you want to be famous, you are unwilling to do more - if you can't afford it, don't do it! "
As soon as the man finished speaking, a figure suddenly flashed out from behind the Taoist priest guarding the door. Wang Quan and Wu Daozi, who were outside the crowd, saw the black shadow flash behind the Taoist priest, followed closely by a soldier covered in pitch-black armor, who suddenly stood in the crowd!
The armored man himself was extremely tall, and when wrapped and set off by the pitch-black armor with no visible material, he looked more like a black iron tower.
At this moment, he picked someone out from the crowd with one hand.
The man was so frightened by the soldier's actions that he screamed strangely. Listening to his voice, it was the same one who had made the strange noise and taunted him before.
“Xuanmen has ‘scientific examinations’ in every state and county in the world.
If you really want to practice the wonderful method, and you have the temperament and talent to learn, you can try it in the "scientific examination" to see if you can join the Taoist Sect and become a disciple of Master Yang. After the scientific examination, you will have the results.
Why not go to the real fight with real swords and guns in the scientific examination, instead of making noise here?
But do you regard this as a shortcut to the south? "The soldier covered in pitch black armor spoke in a low voice, and there was a sudden silence all around.
Under the ferocious face mask, Leng Youyou glanced at everyone present.
The people gathered in front of the mountain gate suddenly looked embarrassed and dispersed one after another.
But they were deeply troubled by the soldier's words.
At the periphery of the crowd, Wang Quan looked a little embarrassed after hearing what the soldier said. Seeing everyone scattering and leaving, he wanted to follow him, but subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the old man next to him, but saw that the old man was standing as tall as a pine tree. means to leave.
Wang Quan considered his words in his heart and was about to speak to Wu Daozi. He didn't expect that Wu Daozi, who had not spoken to him along the way, would take the initiative to speak out.
Wu Daozi pointed to the soldier in black armor and said to Wang Quan: "The armor covered by this soldier is the 'raw armor'."
"Irregular A?!"
Upon hearing the old man's words, Wang Quan looked at the black-armored soldier again, with more respect in his eyes.
The Tang Dynasty Shengrenjia is actually a sacred weapon of the country.
To create today's prosperous age without any tricks, Shengren A has at least six achievements in it!
Nowadays, even though the armor is very common in all states and counties in the world, it is not something that ordinary people can see. This is Wang Quan's first time to observe a case of armor at close range.
Since this soldier wears a stranger's armor, he should be a bad person in the Suppression Division.
Master Yang led his disciples to live in Ziyun Temple. He wanted to complete his most culminating work in Huashan, but he also attracted the followers of the Bad Guy Suppression Team?
When Wang Quan was having wild thoughts, Wu Daozi beside him suddenly said: "The 'true meaning of heaven and man' in poetry, calligraphy and painting can be used to create human armor."
"Yeah." Wang Quan still knew this. He nodded subconsciously, and before he could say anything else, he saw the iron tower-like soldier suddenly take steps towards them -
The people gathered in front of the Ziyun Temple Gate have already dispersed.
Now in the fringe area, Wu Daozi and Wang Quan 'commented' on the soldier without making any cover-up, which would naturally be discovered by the other party and attract their attention.
Seeing the giant armored man approaching, Wang Quan's face suddenly became very nervous.
At this time, Wu Daozi shook his head and sneered, and said to Wang Quan: "Don't you want to go into Ziyun to observe Master Yang and see if you have any talent in carving?
Now the opportunity has come. "
"This, this, this... now is not the time!" Wang Quan's calves were trembling.
"What are you afraid of?
Come! "As soon as Wu Daozi finished speaking, he stretched out his hand from his sleeve, grabbed Wang Quan's wrist, and then pulled him towards the armored giant——
Wang Quan was so frightened by the old man's sudden move that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Before he could react, he met the cold gaze of the armored soldier. His breath was stagnated immediately, and he saw the giant man standing still in front of the two of them, saying in a deep voice. Said: "Why are you still staying here?"
"I..." Wang Quan said one word.
Then I heard the old man beside me say loudly: "I want to see Yang Huizhi!"
Hearing his arrogant words, a layer of white hairy sweat appeared on Wang Quan's back!
The armored man also turned his attention to the old man who smelled of alcohol. Before he could reply to him, he saw the other man took off something from his waist and threw it towards him——
He stretched out his hand to grab the object, spread it out in his palm and saw - it was a jade pendant.
"I am Wu Daozi, and I am here to pay a visit to my junior brother Yang Huizhi.
If you give this thing to him, he will be able to tell the difference! "Wu Daozi said in a long voice.
"Wu Daozi?"
The armored man narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Wu Daozi, and then at the jade pendant in his hand. In the end, without saying anything more, he turned around and walked into Ziyun Temple with the jade pendant.
…
Ziyun Temple.
Wang Quan was worried and looked at the back of the old man walking in front. He walked across the threshold in front of the palace and followed Wu Daozi around the stone screen carved with various gods and walked out of the back door of the palace.
As soon as you walk out of the back door, your view suddenly widens.
In the spacious courtyard, lights are scattered around the courtyard, reflecting the square stones arranged in the courtyard.
More than ten craftsmen used the light emitted by the lamps, holding hammers, chisels and carving knives, and hammered around the stone embryos.
Chips of stone skin rustled down.
Originally they were just big stones that could be seen everywhere on the roadside. As the craftsmen used tools to hammer and carve them, they gradually changed their appearance. It seemed that there were all kinds of palace maidens and gods that were either beautiful and graceful or masculine and handsome. They were just transformed into stone. Only when all the skin is peeled off can their true appearance be seen.
Wang Quan looked at the craftsmen busy in the courtyard and immediately understood where he had been led.
——This should be the place where Master Yang leads his disciples to make various preparations for Huashan carving.
As soon as he thought of this, he turned his attention to the Taoist priest who was leading the way.
At this time, the Taoist priest also turned sideways and looked at the old man in front of Wang Shen, Wu Daozi. He pointed with one hand to a corner that was not illuminated by the fire and where the sound of clanging carvings was still heard, and said to Wu Daozi. : "Master Yang is right there.
The master asked Pindao to invite you to come here, and you can just pass by. "
"Yes." Wu Daozi nodded lightly, then waved to Wang Quan behind him. Seeing that Wang Quan was hesitant and did not dare to approach, he grabbed him and dragged him through the courtyard with towering stone forests, towards the unburned place. Go to the bright corner.
Most of the craftsmen who were carving stones in the yard paid no attention to the two people who suddenly appeared.
There were only two or three craftsmen, and they only glanced at them from the corner of their eyes, and then turned back and immersed themselves in their own things.
Under their carving knives, various sculptures come to life.
There is a kind of meaning that Wang Quan has never felt before, flowing in the textures and lines formed by the sculpture. That kind of meaning gives a stubborn stone a spirituality as if it is alive.
Wang Quan was amazed by this and could not see it.
It was only a short dozen steps through the backyard, but the stone carvings he saw along the way seemed to fill his mind, and even made him feel that even so, the trip was worthwhile!
These more than ten craftsmen are presumably the thirteen disciples that Master Yang brought to Huashan this time!
"Follow me."
Wu Daozi, who was walking in front, reminded Wang Quan and brought him back to his senses.
The two of them approached the corner where there were piles of wood and rocks.
In the corner, on a low stool, a white-haired old man wearing an apron similar to that of other carvers, facing Wu Daozi and Wang Quan, was holding a piece of wood, carving on it. What.
Although the old man had his eyes open, they were lifeless—he was actually blind!
Looking at the white-haired old man sitting in the corner, seeing that he was blind, both Wu Daozi and Wang Quan were stunned.
Wang Quan had never heard of the rumor that the carving saint was blind!
Wu Daozi had not seen his junior brother for several years, and he didn't know that the other party was blind. Moreover, after only a few years, the other party looked older than himself!
He looked at the old man and finally confirmed that even though he hadn't seen him for several years, the blind old man was indeed his junior brother, the now famous carving saint-Yang Huizhi!
Wu Daozi was stunned for a moment!
After he decided on this trip, he imagined the situation of meeting Yang Huizhi again several times.
No matter in which situation, Yang Huizhi was either a master with extraordinary demeanor or a nobleman with a pampered appearance. He never thought that his junior brother, who was the first saint of Kaiyuan, would appear in his eyes with such a downtrodden and mediocre demeanor...
But the fact is just like this!
Wu Daozi's expression became more and more complicated, and he was speechless for a while.
Yang Huizhi, who was carving the wood in his hand, seemed to notice the arrival of Wu Daozi and Wang Quan at this time. He raised his head, his lifeless eyes facing the direction where the two stood, and asked with a gentle smile: "But Senior Brother Wu is here?
Senior Brother Wu also brought his own disciples?"
"...Yes." Wu Daozi was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, dragged Wang Quan, who was trying to hide, to his front, patted Wang Quan on the back, and said to Yang Huizhi, "This person admires the name of Junior Brother, and wants to come up the mountain to meet Junior Brother and ask for the truth from Junior Brother.
I happened to pass by here, and heard that Junior Brother was temporarily settled here, so I went up the mountain with him to see how Junior Brother is doing now?"
Wang Quan listened to Wu Daozi's words, and was surprised for a while, looking at Wu Daozi with wide eyes.
The other party didn't say that before!
It was obvious that he also wanted to meet Master Yang, and he and he were on the same road, and the two of them were just traveling together. But now, it has become that he is accompanying him here!
Faced with the current situation, Wang Quan could not refute anything, so he could only smile and salute Master Yang.
Yang Huizhi nodded, but still faced Wu Daozi. He looked kind, his eyes were obviously dull, but he seemed to have seen through the real situation: "Brother, what do you think of my current condition?"
Wu Daozi shook his head: "It doesn't look good.
I thought you were revered as the Sculptor, and you were in charge of the Xuanmen Divine Works Bureau, so that person should take good care of you... But I didn't expect that your situation was even worse than mine, and now you have become a blind man...
How did you become blind?"
