"Dada..." A group of horses were running on the post road. The rammed earth road was very dry under the scorching sun. When the heavy horse hooves stepped on, a stream of yellow dust rushed rapidly on the road.

Jing Niang rode a horse with the thin Qingxu. The two of them were covered with white gauze on their heads, and only two pairs of eyes were left. They were right behind Guo Shao, and they could see when they turned around. No one else was wearing armor, only wearing cloth clothes, and was very anxious to ride horses, and they didn't wear hats. Everyone was tied with cloth strips, and they only had short-soldier bows and arrows. The rushing horses whizzed by, and the cloth strips and clothes on people's heads were blowing in the wind, covered with dust.

The rapid sound of horse hooves was like a beating war drum, urging Guo Shao to be like a burning heart.

Huashan is located in Guanzhong and is under the jurisdiction of the Zhou Dynasty. It is more than 200 miles east of Jingzhao Prefecture (now Xi'an). Everyone can arrive within one day as long as they run to Jingzhao Prefecture. Guanzhong Jingzhao Prefecture is an important place in the Zhou Dynasty. The post road is very peaceful. You can change horses in the post office. Speed ​​is not a problem; the problem is worry.

The group ran continuously. By the afternoon of that day, they had already run out of Jingzhao Mansion for more than 100 miles on the flat post road. Suddenly, there was a "boom" in the front, and a horse knelt on the front hooves. The soldiers on the horse flew straight forward, and they fell heavily on the ground with a scream of pain and turned over several times before lying down. Guo Shao and others hurriedly stopped the horse, and he shouted, "Brother, are you okay?"

The sergeant struggled for a moment and replied, "It hurts so much! The lord will leave first, and you can only ride a horse if you are slow."

When Guo Shao looked up, the horse fell to the ground and foamed at his mouth. He was not dead but could not get up. He turned around and said, "Leave someone to take care of him. If he is seriously injured, take him back to Jingzhao Mansion to find a doctor to treat his injuries." After he said that, he took off the purse with gold and silver on his waist and threw it on the side of the road, and ordered everyone to transfer to horses. Then he rode his horse around the fallen military horse and continued running forward.

After a while, the sky was covered with dark clouds and suddenly rained. This was the third time they had encountered heavy rain in just a few days after they came out of Guzhen. Sudden rains in summer are easy to see.

There was lightning and thunder between heaven and earth, and the wind was whistling. Qingxu's voice came from afar: "It's so cold." When Guo Shao looked back, Jing Niang silently arrived at the end of the team. He knew that the rain would expose her clothes when she wet, and the woman had many inconveniences when she went out. Last time, she accidentally saw her wearing wet clothes. The white silk contours tied to her chest could be seen, just like a bra strap was exposed in modern times. However, when the rain stopped, the clothes were drying very quickly. The temperature itself was relatively high, and the wind was blowing.

"Qingxu, are you sure the Mayi Taoist is at Huashan Taiguan?" Guo Shao shouted loudly.

"What are you saying?" Qingxu, who was hugging Jing Niang's waist, shouted. She was not clear. Guo Shao then separated the long sentences and repeated them slowly. Qingxu also shouted loudly: "I don't know! Master is in Taiguan most of the time, but sometimes he goes to Wudang Mountain!"

Guo Shao was even more worried. What if the Mayi Taoist was not in Huashan?

At this time, the wind and rain were mixed, lightning and thunder were roaring, and the sky showed great natural power. Even Guo Shao knew that thunder and lightning were the collision of positive and negative charges in the clouds, and he couldn't help but sigh: Is there really a fate of heaven?

The Taoist Ma Yi has lived in Huashan Taiguan for a long time. If he is not here this time, is this destiny destiny destiny?

That night, they had already arrived at the foot of Mount Hua and were about to enter the mountainous area and were unable to walk. Guo Shao ordered to find a place to rest for one night and go to the mountain the next morning. The guide didn't have to look for it. Qingxu knew where the Taiguan was... It was a Taoist temple that no one had heard of. No one knew where it was. For a moment, only Qingxu knew. The Taoist in Mayi did not seem to like traveling around and giving lectures like Chen Tuan, and his popularity was not as good as his apprentice.

There are inns at the foot of Mount Hua, and there are more than one. Although the famous mountains and scenic spots of this era are not as lively as the commercialization of scenic spots in the future, there are always many people who travel around to search for mountains and rivers, and such people are generally not short of money. Where there is money to make money, not to mention that in Guanzhong, there is no need to worry about food and accommodation.

Guo Shao and others found an inn, but he didn't think these places were black shops. Even if there were, most of them were military men, and it would not be easy to deal with them. Moreover, Jing Niang was very careful and experienced in the world.

The only problem is that Guo Shao insists on living in the room of Jingniang and Qingxu at night. Jingniang didn't say anything, Qingxu disagreed. She angrily said: "Although he is a Taoist priest, he is also a woman. You, a man, want to live in the same room, what do you think! What do you want to do?"

Guo Shao didn't have the intention to molest women at this time? He said: "You live in the warm room, I'll fight the floor here, don't worry, I'm the commander of the imperial guards, and I will never do anything rude."

Jing Niang should have seen what he was worried about long ago, so she advised: "I will take good care of Qingxu and there will be no problems."

Guo Shao insisted on and said coldly: "Didn't you say you will obey me in everything?"

Jing Niang said without saying a word, "We want to take a shower and change clothes, don't look here when you are outside."

Guo Shao was stunned for a moment, then walked outside the curtain to find a stool to sit. When the sound of water came from inside, he gradually came to his senses and thought to himself: Why did he become so suspicious and petty? If anyone can't believe it, he will do everything himself, how much serious can he do?

However, this should be the reason for being exhausted recently. People are prone to depression, oppression and other emotions when they are anxious. He suddenly sighed and sighed: "Why can't the people I care about the most and care about the most see a good ending?"

For a moment, the room became quiet, and even Qingxu seemed to feel his sadness and no longer yelled and argued.

Guo Shao didn't take a shower either. Jing Niang put a mat and a blanket on him, and indeed slept on the ground all night. However, he did act very gentle and did not act disgracefully.

The next morning, everyone had breakfast, bought some dry food, and filled the water bag with water. Seeing that they were carrying many horses, the store kindly reminded: "If you want to go to Mount Hua, the mountain is steep, and riding a horse is absolutely impossible."

Qingxu also said that he could not ride a horse, so Guo Shao left several people to stay in the inn, and then took the rest of the people up the mountain under Qingxu's guidance.

As expected, the road is very difficult to walk, and it is very rugged. Some sections of the road are steps made from stones, and there are no guardrails on the outside. You must walk carefully, otherwise you may not be able to survive if you roll down. Guo Shao turned his head and saw smoke everywhere, and the mountains were like fairyland in the fog; in the smoke like clouds, the pine trees on the rocks grew on the cliffs. This seems to be a very common painting, welcoming pine?

In modern times, he has no time and money to visit this place. This is the first time he returns to Mount Hua, but he does not have the mood to travel. Looking at famous mountain resorts is just to find a good mood. If he is anxious and worried about things, even the scene in front of him is like a fairyland, it will be in vain.

Everyone reminded each other to be cautious, from early morning to afternoon. Guo Shao had no idea which roads and mountains he had walked. No one was in the mood to introduce his name and origin to him like a tour guide. Everyone seemed very silent along the way.

Finally, when I picked up the road between the mountains and forests, I found a simple Taoist temple, which was even a bit dilapidated. Guo Shao couldn't help but ask, "Is this the Tai Temple?"

Qingxu said: "Yes."

Guo Shao then gritted his teeth and speeded up his pace despite his walking. Sure enough, he saw a wooden door with some simple patterns carved on it, and the door was not closed. There was a rhythmic and slow noise from inside, as if someone was sweeping the fallen leaves.

Guo Shao calmed down and walked up and knocked on the door a few times. He thought to himself: After all, he has to ask for others. He must first be respectful before he can do things.

Unexpectedly, Qingxu said, "Don't pay attention to him, he can't hear it." She pointed to her ear and said loudly, "Dear, can't speak, wooden man!"

When Guo Shao walked to the door, he saw an old man with sparse hair and hair. As expected, he slowly swept the fallen leaves in the yard, sweeping very slowly... At this speed, wouldn't it take a whole day to sweep the entire yard?

The old man looked up at the person coming in. He looked at Qingxue and opened his mouth, then ignored the others and did not stop him. This place seemed to be able to enter and exit at will... Moreover, the old man who swept the floor looked dim and didn't look like a sweeping expert, but like a person with a little Alzheimer's disease. How could a capable person have a pair of turbid eyes like him?

Qingxu said: "It's useless to ask him, let's go in and see if the master is there."
