Orochi Longevity

The young coachman drove the carriage down the mountain forest path and walked up the official road, he couldn't help being dazzled and amazed!

It was the first time for him to travel far, and it took more than half a month to travel from the Central Plains to the southern Yunnan, which is thousands of miles away. He originally thought that southern Yunnan was a remote place, and it must be poor and desolate, with dilapidated houses.

But what he didn't expect was that even a marginal town like Anning Town was so spacious and prosperous. People are thriving everywhere, and the houses look like houses. Even when it is almost dark, there are many people coming and going, setting up stalls on the side of the road to sell goods.

The blossoming flowers, beautiful jade, and all kinds of treasures he had never seen before formed a long street, which made people overwhelmed and dazzled.

"A small town in southern Yunnan is actually more lively than Luoyang?"

The young coachman couldn't help muttering to himself.

If you really compare the small town with Luoyang, then naturally it cannot be compared. The houses and roads here are only the size of a small town, and most of the houses are bungalows, so the roads are neat and tidy.

The size of the town is even less than one tenth of that of Luoyang City.

But there are two points that fascinated this outsider, which made him sigh so much.

First, there are many goods in the market that he has never seen before, and he saw them fresh.

Second, and the most important point. Behind Anning Town, there is actually a tall and majestic giant building! There are layers of palaces, pavilions, and corridors in the buildings. Outside the three mountain gates, there are thousands of colorful clouds shining down. In front of the Wufu Hall, there is a huge tree with thousands of red ribbons fluttering in the wind. Bursts of blue smoke curled up from the palace courtyard wall, and countless streams of people came and went from the gate of the palace.

The shock brought by this huge building to the young coachman was something he had never experienced even in Luoyang.

The young coachman even mistakenly thought that he had seen the legendary Heavenly Palace for a moment!

"Silly boy, do you think there are Guanyin Temples everywhere in southern Yunnan?"

At this time, an old voice woke him up.

It's an old coachman.

"Avalokitesvara Temple?"

Only then did the young coachman realize that among the sundries on the street, there seemed to be many Buddhist items. There are countless kinds of jade carvings and yellow paper incense sticks.

"The main hall in front is just that! It is said that it has been built for more than two hundred and seventy years... In this monastery, there is a Guanyin hall, and there is a pure gold Guanyin statue in it, which is very effective."

The old coachman signaled the young man to jump off the carriage, and the two walked slowly leading the horse. The old coachman said as he walked:

"According to me... we can turn danger into good luck this time, it must be because of Guanyin's secret protection."

The young coachman sighed again and again:

"Is that true?"

The old coachman said:

"Can this be false? You only need to look up at the flourishing incense, and then look at the pilgrims passing by, and you will know that what I say is true."

"Besides, I also went to light incense before, and it really worked."

The young coachman looked left and right, and saw that the faces of pedestrians coming and going were pious and respectful, and many of them even had compassionate and peaceful expressions on their faces.

The young coachman only exclaimed wonder, and immediately said:

"That's the case, when I'm free tomorrow, I'll go to the Guanyin Temple to offer a stick of incense."

While the two were talking, they arrived at the car dealership in Anning Town. They had been on the road for many days, and they were already exhausted, so they wanted to take a good rest before making other plans.

The carriage stopped, and the two coachmen invited Ling Xuzi and the gentleman in white to get off. The two people in the car were still talking, and they didn't notice that the carriage had stopped. When the coachman opened the curtain, Ling Xuzi's eyes were shining, and he shouted:

"This Dao really hates being late with my brother! Brother's opinion is so interesting."

The old coachman reminded:

"Grandfather, and this young master, we are here."

In fact, as early as when he entered the town, he should have called the two people out of the car to discuss the balance of the money.

However, even after walking for a while with the carriage behind, the two coachmen were not unhappy.

Their single business can be so successful without any risk, and they are too late to be happy, so how can they care about the little gains and losses?

"If you speak dirty words, I'm afraid it will pollute your brother's ears."

Snake jumped off the carriage and responded to Ling Xuzi casually.

It knew that Ling Xuzi had a good relationship with the Black Wind King, so it naturally wanted to try its best to please him.

Just now on the carriage, the snake took the initiative to ask Ling Xuzi about the alchemy, and Ling Xuzi really started to boast. It occasionally flatters a few words, and then asks some questions, which makes the two of them have a good conversation.

Ling Xuzi's face was full of joy when he said it at the end, he wished he could worship the snake on the spot, and said in his mouth that it was too late to meet each other.

"Brother, the Dharma conference will take two more days. Why don't you take this spare time and let your brother take you to meet another friend?"

Ling Xuzi opened his heart and warmly invited him.

"It's so good."

Snake was pleasantly surprised in his heart, but he didn't reveal much on the surface.

It followed Ling Xuzi's footsteps, and the two left while chatting and laughing.

Of course, before leaving, the snake did not forget to use the corpse to take out the silver and settle the balance.

The two coachmen were overjoyed to receive the money, and pestered Ling Xuzi again, saying that they would prepare good wine and meat and treat him to a delicious meal in return for saving their lives.

Both of them were severely rejected by Ling Xuzi, he was anxious to take the brother he had just met to meet his old friends, so he had no intention of having dinner with them.

The two coachmen pestered Ling Xuzi for a while and saw that Ling Xuzi was getting impatient, so they had to give up.

"That young master fell into the eyes of the Taoist priest."

"It's such a blessing to have such a god-man to protect me. No matter how difficult things I encounter in the future, I can easily get through them."

The figures of the white-clothed scholar and the black-browed Taoist gradually drifted away and quickly disappeared into the crowd. Behind them, two sighs came.

Both the old coachman and the young coachman knew that their fate with the Taoist chief might end here.

On the other side, Snake followed Ling Xuzi and was led by him all the way to the gate of Guanyin Temple.

Looking at the huge palace, it felt extremely shocked and surprised!

It is not surprising that the palace is so big and majestic.

The snake was amazed by the incense that soared into the sky!

It was an incomparably astonishing and pure scent of incense. They actually condensed into colorful auspicious clouds directly above the Guanyin Temple, and even reflected bursts of rays of light. The sense of auspiciousness can be glimpsed even by the naked eye of mortals.

What surprised the snake even more was that when it approached the Guanyin Temple, it inexplicably felt a feeling of being watched!

It was as if an extremely powerful being was casting his gaze on the Guanyin Temple.

The snake was very shocked... This feeling...is very similar to the sight it felt when it was above the graveyard!

It's just that this gaze is not purposeful, it seems to just let the flow take its course and watch every corner of the Zen garden.

"Brother, don't worry! Although we are different, we can do it properly and sit upright. Naturally, we can enter the Guanyin Temple."

"I've been to this monastery many times, it doesn't matter!"

Seeing the snake lingering at the door, Ling Xuzi, in order to comfort it, stepped into the Guanyin Temple to set an example.

There is no abnormality on him, and he is no different from ordinary pilgrims.

The snake's heart moved, and he held his breath and walked into the Guanyin Temple.

It found that the gaze looking at the Guanyin Temple did not seem to have changed.

The snake relaxes.

"Grandpa Ling Xuzi, you are finally here! The abbot has been waiting for you for a long time!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang in the ears of the two.
