Chapter 57 57: Things without eyes
As for Yunshan Temple, Chen Jin had actually wanted to go there and have a look.
According to the villagers, it is a place for immortals to practice and is the most prominent and famous sect place in Genshui County.
Chen Jin didn't believe in the so-called "immortal", it was just a respectful name for monks by ordinary people.
If the master of Yunshan Temple can be regarded as a god, then Chen Jin is the one who is above the gods.
The essence of many human affairs in this world is like this. As long as the filter is broken, the relevant sanctity is lost, but it's nothing.
Chen Jin's curiosity about Yunshan Temple lies not in the people there, but in the place where the Taoist temple itself is located.
Yunshan.
It should be a nice mountain.
Compared with Chen Jin's indifference, Chen Min was undoubtedly extremely excited and excited. Various emotions and thoughts were intertwined in his mind, making it appear mixed and chaotic.
Apart from being excited, I also felt uneasy, worried about whether I would be favored by the immortals in the Taoist temple.
Regarding the relationship between Chen Jin and the master of Yunshan Temple, outsiders have no idea at all. They are all guessing, thinking that the temple owner favors and appreciates Chen Jin.
As for friendship, it shouldn't be deep.
So this time Chen Jin takes Chen Min to Yunshan Temple, maybe he will have to ask for help.
Since you are asking for help, shouldn't you prepare a gift?
Chen Abu couldn't give any decent gifts, so he couldn't catch the old hens raised at home. In terms of money, he had no choice. The little copper coins would not be able to attract the attention of the Taoist priest of the Xian family.
However, Chen Jin said, "No need." The gift was ready and placed in the book.
Chen Abu didn't say much.
For this trip, there is no need to go to Chen Liang’s house to borrow a mule cart. As his family situation improved, Chen Abu also had an idea, so he asked someone to build a car, and he became one of the "car-owning people" in the countryside.
Now, it comes in handy.
Of course, the one who pulls the cart cannot use an ox, so he can use the donkey.
It's just that donkeys are inferior to mule carts in terms of endurance and speed, but they are better in temperament.
But there is another problem, no one is the driver.
Of course Chen Abu wanted to go with him, but his mother-in-law, Chen Li, was physically handicapped. Although she was not yet pregnant, she had to be taken care of by her side. If something went wrong, it would be troublesome.
Chen Jin said: "It's okay, I'll just catch the car."
"How about that?"
Chen Abu disagreed: "How about hiring someone? The old man Chen in the village is very good at driving cars."
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome. Even if I don't rush, I can still make money."
"Prosperity?"
Chen Jin waved his hand: "Wangcai, come and have a look."
"Woof!"
After receiving the order, Wangcai quickly jumped onto the shaft of the cart and brayed. As expected, the donkey walked forward obediently.
Chen Abu: "..."
Chen Min: "..."
The dog can drive the car, he is really a spirit.
Chen Jin didn't want to delay on these small things: "That's it, we're leaving now."
"So urgent? Why not wait until tomorrow morning before setting off?"
Chen Abu was always worried.
Chen Jin said: "There is nothing to wait for. Anyway, from the countryside to Yunshan Temple, we have to spend the night halfway."
"Okay, then you should be careful along the way."
Chen Abu no longer insisted.
The last time Chen Jin went out on a study tour alone, he drifted away and returned home peacefully. It made him clearly realize that his nephew had changed and was different. He was no longer the frail scholar who only stayed in the house reading and writing, but a man of great ability.
At that moment, Chen Jin and Wang Cai sat on the shaft of the car, while Chen Min sat in the carriage and started to leave Chen Zexiang. Before walking a short distance, Chen Min couldn't help but poke his head out curiously to see how Wangcai drove the car.
But I saw that the dog was actually sitting there without any movement, while the donkey trotted forward automatically and was very obedient.
It seems that the donkey is obedient and does not need to be driven. To make money, it just acts like a coachman.
Of course, the girl didn't know that if necessary, Wangcai could grab the bamboo whip with his claws and swing it.
It even goes into battle in person to replace the donkey and stage a dog pulling a cart, no problem.
It's just that there are pedestrians coming and going on the road, so as not to shock the world.
There was no conversation all the way, and in the evening, we happened to arrive at a place called "Boundary Town". There is an inn in the town for traders to rest. Although the conditions are simple, there are no major problems.
Since there was no need to rush on the road, Chen Jin chose to spend the night in the town to take a break before setting off tomorrow.
Get up early the next day, have breakfast, and continue your journey.
Another day on the road, Chen Min was bored and picked up the soles of her shoes in the car.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
As for Chen Jin, it is best to pass the time for him. Just close his eyes and rest his mind, which is his daily practice.
It is neither boring nor lonely. One person's world is equal to the whole world.
In the evening, twilight falls.
Chen Jin suddenly opened his eyes and looked up.
Not far ahead, there was a market place, which was very lively.
But here, the official road is obviously much wider and has been repaired and compacted. Even in windy and snowy weather, it will not be muddy.
Here, we have entered the geographical scope of Yunshan.
Yunshan is called a mountain, but it covers a large area. In all aspects, it is continuous and forms a large area.
The market in front was obviously built based on Yunshan.
Looking farther away, I saw a mountain peak rising from the ground. It was not majestic. The first impression it gave people was the word "precipitous".
High and steep, straight into the clouds.
This is where the name "Yunshan" comes from.
The highest peak was completely covered by clouds, making it impossible to see clearly.
I don’t know if Yunshan Temple is built on the top of the mountain.
But soon, Chen Jin saw that the Taoist temple should be located halfway up the mountain.
Because at this time, a lantern was lit high up there, and the lights inside were like eyes, looking down at the surroundings.
Seeing this light, Chen Jin thought of the Master of Yunshan Temple.
So, it is somewhat intriguing that the Taoist temple is not on the top of the mountain, but in the mountains.
"Drive, drive! Get out of the way of the donkey cart in front, don't block the road!"
Suddenly there was a burst of shouting from behind.
However, the donkey cart is in a driverless state. How can it react in a short while? Still walking slowly.
Gotta get it!
The strong horse galloped past, narrowly missing the mark.
When Chen Min heard the scolding, she was about to lift the car curtain and stuck her head out to see what was going on. She was almost scratched in the face, and her face turned pale with fright.
This is a two-passenger parallel carriage, and the two tall horses responsible for pulling it are majestic. The tall carriage is even more gorgeously decorated and full of wealth.
A flag flag was placed on it, embroidered with the word "Zhao", and it was fluttering in the wind.
"Things without eyes!"
The carriage roared past, and the strong man driving it cursed in his mouth.
Chen Jin slapped Wangcai on the head.
Wangcai immediately grinned and bared his teeth, with a fierce look in his eyes. He jumped out of the donkey cart, spread his legs, and chased after him.
Thanks to "Wudaoyou" for the generous gift of two thousand coins. This is the largest reward for this book so far. Thank you!
