Chapter 423: Why did the young Taoist priest from Qingfeng Temple come to stay at the inn?
Xiao Yan pulled a corner of Xiao Yue's cloak over himself.
Seeing this, Yun Xuanmo took out his cloak and handed it to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan looked at him in surprise. This senior brother of his cousin was quite a nice person. He happily took it and thanked him.
Yun Xuanmo took out two more cloaks and threw them to the two guards behind him. Although they had skills, they were not cultivators, and it would be difficult for them to survive at such a high altitude.
The two guards didn't hesitate to thank him and took it.
Fortunately, the rain was blocked by the formation and would not directly affect the people on the flying boat, but the air was a little colder.
Those who go to the North or come from the North will have no problem adapting as long as they wrap themselves up warmly.
Xiao Yan and the two guards, who had lived in the southern border for several years, came from the capital and had good adaptability.
After Gu Chengfeng boarded the flying boat, he began to meditate, continuing to practice those sword techniques that were engraved in his bones over and over again in his spiritual consciousness, and also causing the stars to dance and the galaxy to shine again and again.
We arrived at Qingfeng Mountain at dawn. The wind blowing from the forest was damp and cold, and the village at the foot of the mountain was still asleep.
At the Qingfeng Temple on the mountain, the sound of morning prayer bells, chanting of scriptures, and sounds of wooden fish could be heard.
Yuntang did not land the flying boat but circled around and arrived at a small town not far from the mountain, a town that all of them were very familiar with. They landed directly near the best inn in the town.
Stepping on the bluestone floor of the town, Xiao Yan felt his hands and feet were still a little weak. He swayed a bit and then hugged Xiao Yue's arm and looked at Yun Tang.
"Sister Tang'er, aren't you tired on this journey? Aren't you afraid of such a high altitude? Why did you leave after arriving at the Taoist temple?..."
Xiao Yan wanted to speak all the way, but Gu Chengfeng was meditating and no one else was talking, so he didn't dare to speak either. He had been holding it in all the way.
Yuntang felt like laughing when he saw him jumping around in a rather awkward manner to stretch his body while still chattering.
But she only answered the last question.
"The temple is holding morning prayers, so we won't disturb them. Let's stay in the town and have some hot food first."
Yuntang had never stayed in the inn in the town, but she had been here many times. However, the first person to go to the inn to ask for a room was Gu Chengfeng.
Returning to Qingfeng Mountain was a long time ago for Gu Chengfeng after twenty years. Everything here was a memory, and he couldn't help feeling a little excited.
There weren't many guests in the inn at the moment, and their group had booked almost all the remaining rooms.
The innkeeper was no longer the same person he was 10 or 20 years ago. After Gu Chengfeng booked the room, he didn't even have the mood to say hello.
But when Yuntang and Yun Xuanmo walked into the inn, the innkeeper laughed when he saw them.
"Why is the Taoist priest from Qingfeng Temple staying at the inn?"
Qingfeng Temple is famous throughout the Taoist community. Yuntang and Yun Xuanmo also have very high status and, of course, very high seniority.
But ordinary people in these small mountainous places do not have such an understanding. In their eyes, there are only the old Taoist priests, young Taoist priests, and little Taoist children in Qingfeng Temple...
Of course, those who recognize the Taoist name will call it by its name directly.
It was just that Yun Tang and Yun Xuanmo hadn’t seen each other for three years. At the moment, they knew that their faces were familiar but they couldn’t remember their names. However, they were both wearing Taoist robes of Qingfeng Temple, so they were easy to recognize.
"I just came back and settled the guests." Yuntang said with a smile.
Yun Xuanmo also smiled and said, "Hurry up and make some hot tea. It's a bit cold after traveling all night."
The shopkeeper originally wanted to chat a few words, but when he heard Yun Xuanmo say that he had traveled at night, he realized that the journey must have been tiring and very cold.
He quickly called the two waiters who had gotten up early to go to the kitchen to boil water, and then called the other waiters to get up and start working.
There were many rooms, so the group was not in a hurry to go in, so they sat down in the lobby.
Soon the waiter came over and brought a few pots of hot tea. After drinking a cup of hot tea, I felt a little warmer.
Yuntang had already placed some hot food brought from Lan's house on several tables and started eating the main course directly.
Having dinner early in the morning, the shopkeeper and the waiters were stunned.
They didn't know that they all had dinner at 3 p.m. yesterday. They only drank a cup of hot tea during the journey because it was cold and didn't eat anything. So they were actually cold and hungry at this moment.
After eating, the kitchen prepared hot water, and the group went back to their rooms in batches to take a hot bath and have a good sleep.
Yuntang and Yun Xuanmo did not use those rooms, nor did Gu Chengfeng. After they finished their meal, it was only then that the sky outside began to lighten a little.
"Cousin Ke, Cousin Yue, Cousin Yan, you take a nap here first. I will come to pick you up to the mountain at noon." Yuntang instructed his three cousins.
"Okay." Xiao Ke agreed quickly. Xiao Yan was still a little unhappy, but seeing this, he had to shut up.
Just now they saw Qingfeng Temple in the sky, but they just circled it and left. However, they still got a general idea of it. Qingfeng Temple is very big, Qingfeng Mountain is also very big, and the terrain seems to be a bit steep.
Unlike Yunshang Temple where you can reach the official road not far from the mountain, there is a village at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain, so... it is actually quite far to walk to Qingfeng Temple.
If the weather is good, it would be an elegant thing for them to go hiking and enjoy the scenery, but in this rainy weather, hiking is definitely not a good thing.
Therefore, they could only wait here for Yuntang to pick them up instead of going there directly.
After giving the instructions, Yun Tang left with Senior Brother Nine. Looking at Senior Brother Four walking in front, Yun Tang whispered, "The town hasn't changed much over the years, but there are still some things that have changed."
Yun Xuanmo lowered his eyes to look at her, smiled slightly, reached out and held her hand, but said nothing.
He understood what Yuntang meant, which was about the mood of Fourth Senior Brother at the moment.
Walking to the remote place where he had just landed, Yuntang took out Qinglong.
The three brothers still returned to Qingfeng Temple by flying boat.
In this weather, it would not be difficult for them to go up Qingfeng Mountain with their strength, but it was not necessary.
They didn't land directly before because they knew that the disciples in the temple were doing morning lessons and it was not easy to interrupt them. If they appeared suddenly, the disciples in the temple would definitely be affected.
By placing the others in the inn in the town, they won't have to run up and down the mountains when collecting food. We can't let Yuntang go back and forth by flying boat every time, as Yuntang also needs to rest.
Xiao Yan and his friends could wander around while staying in the town. Although the small town at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain was not as prosperous as a big city, it was still quite prosperous and had many shops and restaurants of various kinds.
When they returned to Qingfeng Temple, they saw that the disciples had finished their morning lessons. Some went to the cafeteria, some were practicing martial arts in the square, and some were practicing sword formations.
The square in front of the Sanqing Hall is more spacious than that of Yunshang Temple, and the number of disciples is no less than that of Yunshang Temple.
As the flying boat approached, many disciples noticed it. The Taoists who were originally scattered in the square immediately stopped practicing. Some gave warnings, some looked around, and some quickly set up a formation to defend.
