I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

"What kind of Buddha statue? The main hall hasn't reached the top yet!"

"Okay, the disciple just said that casually, Mr. Gu, don't stand there, walk around, sit in the room, and the little monk will make you a bowl of tea."

Gu Ming smiled and nodded.

This is really interesting for the master and apprentice.

But with the two of them here, Gu Ming was indeed at ease.

Master Baiyun's strength is unfathomable, and he has already cultivated the indestructible body of a vajra, which may be somewhat stronger than Yan Chixia.

As for Shifang, although he is a bit more playful and his strength is not very high at present, this guy has roots of wisdom and is a piece of rough jade.

If it doesn't make a sound, it's a blockbuster.

After entering the wing room, Shifang ran to make two bowls of tea and put them on the table.

Gu Ming looked around subconsciously, the furnishings in the room were very simple, and he couldn't help but said: "Master, what do you lack here? Make a list for me, and I'll send someone to send it later."

Master Baiyun smiled and waved his hands: "My lord's kindness is appreciated, I will only live here temporarily, and we will talk about it after the temple is completely completed.

Moreover, even if there is any need, the previous benefactors also donated a lot of silver taels, which is enough. "

"Okay!" Gu Ming nodded, then took out a happy post from his body and handed it over: "Master, this junior will get married on the [-]th of next month, and you and Shifang are welcome to be present at that time!

Don't worry, the younger generation knows that monks must abide by the rules, and will make a special trip to prepare a fast meal. "

While speaking, Gu Ming deliberately glanced at Shifang.

It is Master Baiyun who abides by the rules alone, Shi Fang will inevitably have to drink a few cups when the time comes.

Sure enough, when he glanced over at Shifang, he showed a knowing smile.

"Your Excellency is really caring. At that time, the old monk will definitely bring the villains to the scene to congratulate Your Excellency on your wedding."

After chatting for a few words, Master Baiyun couldn't help but said: "Looking at the aura of your lord, compared to before entering Beijing, I'm afraid you have gained a lot?"

"Haha, master has really good eyesight. That's right, I have indeed gained some gains from entering Beijing this time, and my realm has improved."

"congratulations!"

Shifang also happily congratulated.

He said again: "In this way, we will be more confident in dealing with that old Black Mountain demon in the future."

Gu Ming couldn't help saying: "Master, please pay more attention to this. If there is any change in the old demon, please let me know as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, my lord, I will always pay attention to you"

At noon, Master Baiyun and Shifang accompanied Gu Ming to the construction site of the temple.

"Xiaomin sees the adults!"

"I've seen Master Gu!"

As soon as Gu Ming arrived, many craftsmen stepped forward to greet him.

After all, the news that he returned to his hometown after becoming an official has spread all over the world. How could these workers not know?

"You don't have to be polite"

Gu Ming smiled and raised his hand, subconsciously glanced around.

It seems that the progress is quite fast, and the main buildings have been erected.

However, the post-production work is much slower. For example, door grilles, window grilles, roof beams, etc. all need to be carved by hand, including the furniture needed for the academy, which also needs to be handmade.

After that, there will be landscaping and so on. If there is no accident, the overall completion may take about three years.

But Gu Ming is not in a hurry, anyway, he is now an official in the capital, and he can't take care of coming back to run the academy for a while.

Have to wait for the right time.

After a group of craftsmen greeted each other, they returned to their respective positions to continue working.

Gu Ming walked around the construction site with Master Baiyun, his master and his apprentice.

"Master, what do you think of the overall layout? Do you have any good suggestions?"

"Well, generally there is no problem"

Master Baiyun looked around subconsciously, and then pointed to the side of Heishan: "In my opinion, a temple can be built there to enshrine your Confucian saints."

"Oh? What did the master mean to say that it is used to suppress the evil in Black Mountain?"

"That's right, even if the old Black Mountain demon is wiped out in the future, but this mountain is contaminated with evil spirits, there may be a day when evil things will be bred."

Gu Ming nodded thoughtfully: "It makes sense, if a temple and a hall stand here, the mountain can be suppressed to the maximum extent."

Master Baiyun recited the Buddha's name and said, "That's exactly the truth."

"Okay, thank you, master, for pointing out, then I will tell the foreman to vacate a piece of land first, and then come to erect the hall later."

Afterwards, Master Baiyun put forward some small suggestions, which Gu Ming adopted one by one.

It's not that he blindly obeyed, but that he really believed that what Master Bai Yun said was reasonable.

Although he now understands some terrain layouts, it is definitely not as good as Master Baiyun's years of experience in general.

After watching the construction site, Gu Ming prepared to return to the county seat.

Before leaving, he thought of something again, so he asked Shifang, "By the way, Shifang, can you get in touch with Lord Yan and Zhiqiu?"

"Hero Yan can be contacted. Zhiqiu's whereabouts are uncertain. It is said that he has been hunting ghosts around Anning County recently."

"Anning County? Ghost hunting?"

Gu Ming's eyes lit up when he heard that there was a ghost to catch.

Points are not, there is righteousness in the world!

Speaking of Anning County, it may be a bit far away for ordinary people, more than 100 miles away, and if you go from Guobei County, you must pass Dakan Peak.

This mountain is relatively steep, with complex terrain, and is often infested by various beasts and poisonous insects.

There are even rumors that there are ghosts in the mountains.

Therefore, many people dare to cross the mountain only in groups.

Otherwise, it is more than 100 miles from the other direction, avoiding Dakan Peak, and would rather walk for two days than take a risk.

But for Gu Ming, what is there to fear from beasts and poisonous insects?

Spirits send experience.

Therefore, Gu Ming decided to go to Anning County in person.

"In this way, Shifang, you can help me inform Hero Yan and tell him to come to the wedding if he is free, and I will find Zhiqiu myself."

"It's a trivial matter, and it's on the little monk!"

Shi Fang patted his chest, as if swearing.

"Well, thank you so much, Master Baiyun, this junior will take my leave first!"

In the evening, Gu Ming left the county slowly.

Others are on the road during the day, and find a place to rest in the evening. After all, when it gets dark, the ghost knows what will appear on the road

Gu Ming likes to do it the other way around, and only leaves the city in the evening.

In the beginning, I occasionally met pedestrians in a hurry, but when it got dark, I could only see the shadowy shadows of the mountains.

At this time, Gu Ming began to speed up.

At around Hai hour, we entered the range of Dakan Peak.

In fact, the scenery of Dakan Peak is quite beautiful. There are many dangerous peaks in the mountains, and there are many towering trees and large bamboo forests.

The valleys are criss-crossed, and there are many streams densely covered in them.

Such an environment is very suitable for donkey friends to come to explore and camp, and it is also possible to have a close contact with blind bears, wolves, wild boars, poisonous snakes, centipedes, scorpions, etc. in the mountains.

If you're lucky, you might be able to dig up a few top-quality bluegrass, or rare herbs or something.

Although the terrain here is very complicated, some well-meaning people have made some road signs along the way, and there are straw sheds every few miles, which are convenient for passers-by to shelter from the rain.

After entering the mountain, Gu Ming slowed down again to see if there would be any spirits or monsters on the mountain.

If it's a murderous spirit, there's nothing to say

After walking for about half an hour, suddenly, there was a faint light shining on the hillside ahead.

Subconsciously, Gu Ming walked up the hillside following the bright light. When he looked around, he discovered that there was a small valley below.

And in the valley, there is actually a Taoist temple?

Of course, it is not surprising that there are temples and temples in the deep mountains. After all, some temples and Taoist temples like to be built in remote mountains where there is no one, so that they are easy to clean.

But this Tao looks a bit nondescript. At a glance, it looks like a Taoist temple, but at a closer look, it looks like a combination of temples, temples, and private houses.

The important thing is that the lights inside are bright, and there is a faint laugh

interesting!

Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Ming strode down the slope towards the seemingly invisible building.

As he got closer, he could hear the movement inside more clearly.

It sounds like there are quite a lot of people, probably not less than a dozen men and women.

The door was wide open, and there were two red lanterns hanging at the door.

Gu Ming walked in slowly.

Inside is a courtyard, and the courtyard is empty.

However, there is a big room directly in front of it, the lights inside are bright, and two women can be seen dancing in the courtyard.

"Yo, there's another guest!"

"Still a talent"

As soon as Gu Ming entered the door, two delicate voices came from his ears.

During this trip, Gu Ming changed into his previous clothes, looking like a scholar.

Looking around, there are a total of four men in the room. Looking at the attire, they are not ordinary people, but people from the world.

There are also seven coquettish women, ranging in age from teens to thirties, all wearing thin gauze skirts, with bare feet, some are dancing, and some are leaning next to the man Drink and have fun.

This scene is indeed very attractive to men.

The room is filled with a scent of oil and powder, and there is a wisp of smoke

When the four men saw a compatriot coming in, they all smiled knowingly.

One of them raised his voice and said, "Little brother, what are you still doing stupidly? Why don't you hurry up and enjoy the wine and beauties?"

"Did that Xiaosheng go to the wrong place?"

Gu Ming made a false statement.

"Hee hee, I didn't go wrong, I didn't go wrong"

A woman in her twenties stepped forward, grabbed Gu Ming by the sleeve and walked to the side for him to sit down.

"Our place is called Beauty Village, and it specializes in receiving lost guests."

Receiving lost guests?

I'm afraid it was to lure people here on purpose.

Gu Ming said calmly: "But Xiaosheng has no money."

"Hee hee, officer, we don't need to spend money here, but we will give you money instead."

After finishing speaking, a silver coin actually appeared in the woman's hand, and she handed it to Gu Ming with a smile.

"It's all for nothing"

When Gu Ming said this, the man's maniacal laughter and the woman's coquettish laughter erupted in the room immediately.

"These scholars are sour."

"Officer, please accept it quickly, don't spoil my servant's wishes."

The woman could not help but put the money into Gu Ming's arms.
