After entering the second layer of Qi refining, Mu Wan felt that his leg strength had increased by more than one or two times compared to before.
However, Uncle Zhang walked faster in front.
She still had to struggle to keep up.
The uncle and nephew rushed forward one after the other.
Just after noon, they arrived at the east gate of Chen Guandu.
Chen Guandu guards Sanshui and is a traffic fortress from south to north.
The east city gate is made of a mixture of blue bricks and bluestone, which is very majestic.
Among them, on the arched city gate, the huge long bluestone is engraved with the three words "Chen Guandu" on the gold hook and silver painting.
The moat outside the city gate is at least fifty zhang wide, and its scale is far greater than that of the capital.
There were three huge iron bridges over the moat, and at the outer end were four blackened iron chains.
Each wire is thicker than an adult man's arm.
At this point, the two were folded, and only the iron bridge on the far left was lowered.
Cars, horses, and pedestrians all enter and exit from this iron bridge.
A group of ten black-armored spearmen stood on either side of the entrance to the iron bridge, watching passers-by.
"Hmm, this iron bridge is not bad."
Uncle Zhang nodded slightly in approval.
Seeing Mu Wan with his mouth open, staring at the iron bridge with amazing eyes, he lowered his head and whispered to Mu Wan behind him, "There is a small amount of iron essence mixed with the iron plate bridge, which is extraordinarily iron, extremely solid, and it will not rust easily if it is eroded by wind and rain."
"As early as on the official road, he not only slowed down, but also greatly shortened the distance between him and Mu Wan, and no longer used the dust removal technique.
At this moment, both of them are dusty, and they look no different from ordinary Taoist priests wandering around with their little apprentices.
"No wonder I dare to put it in the open air, and I am not afraid of the rust caused by the wind and rain."
Mu Wan suddenly realized.
The moat of Chen Guandu, as well as the twelve iron plate bridges above the moat, are the most important in the Great Zhou.
In her previous life, Mu Wan had never left the capital, but she had only read relevant records from some idle books that described the geographical features of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
After reading it, she also lamented that the literati were exaggerated and exaggerated.
There are thousands of city gates in the world, how can there be more than the capital now, personally on the scene, only to know that the description in the book is far less than the actual majesty.
It is enough to see that in her previous life, she was known as the "No. 1 talented woman in the capital", and she was just a little smart, and her vision and mood were like a frog at the bottom of a well.
The uncle and nephew kept a low profile and entered the city in the busy traffic into the city.
Uncle Zhang had already come to explore the road last night.
The monks all possess extraordinary memories that they never forget.
Therefore, at this moment, he knew everything about Chen Guandu City, and he was familiar with Mu Wan and went straight to Sanshui Temple.
In the middle of summer, just after noon, the houses and population in the city are dense, and this time is the hottest time of the day, far less cool than the outside of the city.
After passing the city gate, the further you go into the city, the more liquor shops there are on both sides of the road, however, there are not many pedestrians on the road, and most of them are in a hurry, so that most of the shops have only a few young men sitting idly, and there are no customers.
Further northeast, the shops are thinning, the roads are narrowing, and the trees are lined with trees.
As far as the eye can see, the buildings with blue bricks and green tiles and eaves and arches looming in the lush greenery are very conspicuous against the many blue brick courtyards around it.
"That's the Sanshui Temple."
Uncle Zhang led Mu Wan to walk in the shade of the tree, and introduced unhurriedly, "Taoist temples are generally built between mountains and rivers, and few are built in the mundane world.
Sanshui Temple was originally a martyr's shrine, which was built by the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty to worship the soldiers who died in the capture of Chen Guandu.
More than 300 years have passed, the incense here has been very vigorous, and after many expansions by later generations, it has gradually become a great avenue.
The name of the view has also become the current Sanshui Temple. ” As he spoke, Sanshui saw it.
There is a towering ancient tree in front of the Taoist temple.
In the scorching summer, as soon as I walked into this dense ancient forest, the scorching heat disappeared, and Mu Wan only felt that his whole body and mind were quiet.
In the middle of the woods, there is a road two feet wide and paved with bluestone slabs.
The red-painted and blue-tiled gate stands quietly at the end of the road.
Walking into the view, there are also ancient trees everywhere.
All the pavilions are hidden in the greenery.

In the midsummer afternoon, there are few Taoist priests walking in the temple.
"In the world, it is indeed difficult to find such a place for cultivating the mind."
Uncle Zhang took Mu Wan directly to the welcome room in the side hall to place an order.
For Mu Wan, this is an unprecedented experience: the Taoist priest in the welcome room is usually called "Master of the No.
Room", and the "Master of the No.
Room" is an elderly Taoist priest with a goatee, who has no cultivation and is an authentic mortal.
However, follow the local customs.
Even a foundation-building monk like Uncle Zhang had to deign to call him "Master of the No. 1 Room" at this time; In addition to asking in detail about the name, origin, background, and deadline of the order, the "master of the house" also has to take an exam on the spot, and he points out a Taoist scripture, and the person who makes the order remembers one or two paragraphs as required; After passing the exam, the "master of the house" will take out a yellow slip of paper and fill in the name of the person who made the order and the courtyard where the accommodation will be arranged.
After placing an order, food and accommodation are all free.
Before Uncle Zhang filled in the list of "Master of the No.
Room", he handed over a silver ingot of ten taels and said: "The boy is stubborn, please arrange a secluded small courtyard with the Master of the No. 1 room."
"There is a lot of fire in my heart: a good hostel is not allowed to live, and it has to be ordered.
Uncle Qingyu is really good at tossing people "The old man of the house" did not raise his eyelids, sleeved the silver, lifted the brush and wrote quickly on the list: Zhang Yichen's uncle and nephew, studied under the capital Liuyunguan Qingyu Daoist, No. 10 Huangziyuan, and placed an order for a month.
After writing, he put away the pen and said slowly: "Zhang Daoyou, you master and apprentice can go directly to the Huangzi Courtyard to find the master of the Wang Academy."
The location of No. 10 Huangziyuan is relatively remote, and you don't have to go to the front hall to do your homework during this month. ” Generally speaking, after the order is successful, the wandering Taoist has to take the list to visit the leaders of the Taoist temple, such as the lord of the temple, the lord of each hall and the hall master.
During the pending order, you must also do your homework with the Taoist priest in the view.
And the meaning in the words of "Master No. 1" is that all of this can be saved by both their master and apprentice When Uncle Zhang heard this, he was in a good mood, and secretly gave Mu Wan an appreciative look and some silver, striving to live in a separate small courtyard.
This is the idea given by the little girl halfway.
Unexpectedly, this move could also bring unexpected effects.
It's okay to save him another time to talk about it.
Taking advantage of the "Master of the No.
Room" to return the gift, Mu Wan winked at him quickly.
In her previous life, she had never lived in a Taoist temple, but she went to the temple to worship the Bodhisattva.
In the temple, as long as enough money is given, both monks and nuns will open the door to convenience.
As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and Taoist priests, monks, and nuns are not exempt from vulgarity.
The master of the royal courtyard was a thin middle-aged Taoist priest, who received the order, did not say much, and directly called a young Taoist priest to lead the two to No. 10 Huangzi Courtyard.
A group of three people walked along the three-foot-wide stone road, becoming more and more secluded.
The backyard is much larger than the front yard, and it is planned in an orderly manner, and a large piece of blue brick courtyard is divided into four pieces by the narrow bluestone roadway according to the sky, earth, Xuan and yellow.
After walking for about half a pillar of incense, the young Taoist priest finally stopped in front of the half-old bamboo gate at the very end: "It's here." ” Pushing open the bamboo gate, it was a small courtyard.
The yard was clean and refreshing, just two rooms.
However, the most striking thing is that in the northwest corner of the courtyard there is a leafy old locust tree planted against the wall.
More than half of the thick branches protruded from the high courtyard wall.
The fragrant lotus Mu Wan couldn't help but stretch her neck to look out of the courtyard wall.
"Outside is a pond, not Benguan's private property."
Seeing this, the young Taoist priest explained on the side, "This small courtyard is already the outermost part of the temple. ” There is also an earthen stove under the courtyard wall next to the door.
Next to the stove is a half-human-tall sauce-colored clay jar with a log lid.
The young Taoist priest pointed to it and said, "This place is far away from the gang, if you are in trouble, you can start a gang here."
Every morning, we would bring a load of water.
However, pots and bowls, firewood, etc. need to be brought by the Taoist friends, and they can also be purchased by us. ” When Uncle Zhang heard this, he looked down at Mu Wan and asked, "Xiaowan, do you have anything to add?"
Yes, there are too many things to buy Mu Wan raised her head and asked the young Taoist: "Senior, may I ask, in addition to these, what else can I help buy other things" The young Taoist priest looks about the same age as Uncle Zhang, and he is also in his early twenties, so she also takes advantage of the situation to call him "senior".
"You might as well talk about it."
The young Taoist nodded.
Mu Wan looked down at her toes.
She was wearing a pair of pale blue thick-soled silk shoes on her feet.
Now, not to mention that the soles are almost worn out, even the upper is unrecognizable, and the original material cannot be seen.

There was even a hole the size of a little finger in the toe of his right leg.
"I'd like to buy one, no, ten pairs of thick-soled shoes."
Mu Wan wrenched her fingers and said, "Hmm, I still need two changes of robes."
And the iron pot."
Grinding and grinding, Uncle Zhang was impatient on the side, took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve, and stuffed it to the young Taoist priest: "We came from the capital, and children are very hungry for clothes."
The clothes she had brought with her were almost worn out.
Please ask Daoyou to help buy two more changes of clothes, shoes, shoes and socks.
In addition, the dry food and pots and pans we brought were given to the villagers who stayed overnight before entering the city, and we also asked Taoist friends to help buy another set.
"They have Bigu Dan, so they don't need to cook at all.
Therefore, except for Mu Wan's clothes, the rest are just a disguise.
Where is it necessary to be so detailed?
It's no wonder that the uncle and nephew are well-dressed, but they don't even have a piece of baggage.
The young Taoist priest shook the broken silver and nodded.
After the others left, Uncle Zhang pointed to the room on the right and said, "Xiaowan, you live in this room."
I'm going to visit the cave tonight.
If they ask, you say I'm in retreat in the house and don't disturb me.
You're here alone, and you're going to pretend to be a group once or twice a day. ” "Yes."
Mu Wan was not a real child in the core, but now she has the cultivation of the second layer of qi refining, and she is alone or something, and there is no pressure at all.
Moreover, since she entered the view, she has also listened to all directions and watched six ways along the way, and she has not been observing in secret.
The Sanshui Temple can be called a real place of pure meditation and monasticism, which can be regarded as reliable.
Besides, she will live in seclusion, only for ten days, and she won't run into any trouble if she thinks about it.
Mu Wan pushed open the door of the green paint room.
The room was so small that if you stood for three or two more, you wouldn't be able to turn around.
The furnishings are very simple: green wooden lattice windows are covered with moon-white window paper.
Under the window, there is a bamboo bed about three feet wide on three sides against the wall.
There was only a cloth jacket and a wooden pillow on the bed.
Next to the head of the bed on the inside is a low bamboo cabinet that is more than three feet high.
There is an oil bowl lamp on the top of the cabinet.
There is also most of the lamp oil in the bowl.
There is a fire fold next to the lamp.
She went to the yard to check again, and the clay jar was empty, and there was not a drop of water in it.
Looking up at the two-person tall blue brick courtyard wall, she was eager to try: Hmm, could it be that my sister wants to climb the wall tonight to take a bath in the pond outside The efficiency of the young Taoist priest is very good.
In the evening, he picked up a load of things in a bamboo basket.
Uncle Zhang is most annoyed by these mundane things.
However, as the division commander, he had to come forward, so he was patient and made a symbolic inventory: two small sets of coarse cloth clothes, shoes, shoes and socks, a handful of dried vegetables, a number of grains, rice, oil and salt, pots and bowls, etc.
Mu Wan pouted secretly on the side: Just this idea, it can be worth two taels of silver at most if it goes to the sky.
"Firewood won't be available until tomorrow morning.
If you need it, I can also send some fresh fruits and vegetables.
Seeing that Uncle Zhang didn't say a word, he accepted all the orders, and the young Taoist's eyes were shining.
Uncle Zhang pointed at Mu Wan and said indifferently, "I'm going to retreat and cultivate from tonight."
Tomorrow morning, you just give her your things. ” Those who came from the capital were really extraordinary, and they were very generous.
The young Taoist priest was full of words
