Chapter 216: Cloud Mist Temple

The next day, the two got up and gave instructions to the secret guards here. Then they went back to Northwest City. After Su Yue dropped off a batch of supplies at Wuhu Trading Company, the two headed towards Yunwu Village again.

This time he brought Su Qiwen with him, as he wanted to stay there for some time.

The two understood his intention and happily agreed.

Now it is April and March has passed. Northwest County has had several rains. The roadside is covered with wild grass and flowers, which are green and full of vitality.

The wheat that was planted in a hurry last year is now golden yellow and is almost ready for harvest.

The rice seedlings planted in the fields are full of vitality, and it is a scene of good harvest.

When we were almost at the county town, the official road suddenly became easier to walk on, and the sound of horses' hooves clattering on the road was heard.

This is a cement road.

"The cement road has been built here."

Su Yue lifted the curtain and stuck her head out, looking at the wide and flat concrete road.

Although it doesn't look as smooth and standardized as the cement roads in the apocalypse, it is man-made and is already very good.

Looking at the cement road that looked like a white ribbon, Su Yue was very happy.

The cement was her contribution.

"Yes, sister, you may not know this yet, but this official road will be built all the way to the northwest city. It has only stopped now because the busy farming season is approaching. If you had come earlier, you could have seen the bustling scene."

Su Qiwen quickly explained to Su Yue that the road was being repaired when they came here before.

The bustling scene made everyone excited.

This is all thanks to the county magistrate of Yunwu County. He is really a good official who cares about the people.

He is a true fatherly official. No matter how poor he is, he will find a way to build a road.

From now on, it will be much more convenient for the people of Yunwu County to travel or do business, and they will save time wasted on the road.

"This County Magistrate Cao is really good. Should we go and take a look?"

Su Yue asked Murong Li, who was sitting beside her with his eyes closed, and Murong Li opened his eyes. "Didn't Yue'er want to go to Yunwu Temple? Should we go to see County Magistrate Cao first or go to Yunwu Temple first?"

Su Yue thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. County Magistrate Cao can go and see him anytime. If we go and see him rashly, he might not be in the county government office. Let's go to Yunwu Temple."

"Brother, we are going to Yunwu Temple. Do you want to go back to Yunwu Village first or come with us?"

Su Yue thought about it and decided to ask Su Qiwen. She had something to ask Qingyuan and didn't want Su Qiwen to know.

Su Qiwen just thought they were going there for Murong Jing's matter, so he said, "Brother, I won't go. You guys should go early and come back early."

Su Yue nodded: "Okay, when you get to Yunwu County, you can hire a carriage to go back."

"good."

The carriage quickly entered the county town. After dropping Su Qiwen off in the county town, the carriage turned around and headed towards the south gate.

Yunwu Temple is located in the south of Yunwu County. You have to go out from the south gate. There is an official road leading directly to Yunwu Temple.

The main reason is that every year there are a lot of pilgrims who go to Yun Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings. Not only the people of Yunwu County go there to burn incense and pray for blessings, but also many people from the entire Northwest County go there to burn incense and pray for blessings, and they all go to Qingyuan.

The government simply built an official road there.

I didn’t expect that this official road was also paved with cement.

After an hour's journey, the carriage arrived at the foot of the mountain where Yunwu Temple was located.

There is a large village at the foot of the mountain. Almost every household has set up a stall at the foot of the mountain, selling items used for burning incense.

There is also a horse farm for pilgrims to park their carriages.

The driver of the carriage was a secret guard. He parked the carriage in the stable and watched it there. Murong Li and Su Yue got off the carriage and went up the mountain.

Yunwu Temple is at the top of Yunwu Mountain, with a stone staircase leading directly to the top.

There were quite a few pilgrims along the way, coming and going.

Most of them were ladies and old women, as well as young ladies. Some pilgrims had smiles on their faces, while others had sad faces.

Yunwu Temple has people who interpret fortunes for pilgrims. They can tell at a glance whether the fortunes the pilgrims have got are good or bad, as it is all written on their faces.

The two of them walked on the stone steps, immediately attracting the attention of the pilgrims.

Especially those young ladies in the boudoir, who almost screamed when they saw Murong Li's stunning face.

If it weren't for her reservedness as a lady from a noble family, a group of young ladies would have pounced on Murong Li long ago.

"It attracts bees and butterflies."

When Su Yue saw this, her face darkened and she pouted and whispered.

Murong Li was also frowning. Could he be blamed for this? He had done nothing but made Yue'er jealous.

He lowered his head, took Su Yue's hand, and said softly, "Yu'er, do you want your husband to cover your face?"

"Why cover your face in broad daylight? Someone who doesn't know would think an assassin has arrived."

Su Yue rolled her eyes at him. It was because his face was too evil. He should have changed his appearance before coming here. He would have become an old man.

"hehe……"

Murong Li pinched her angry face and took her up the mountain quickly.

At the top of the mountain, Qingyuan suddenly opened his eyes, called a young monk and whispered something to him before continuing to meditate.

As soon as Murong Li and Su Yue entered Yunwu Temple, a young novice monk came hurriedly, clasping his hands together and saying, "Amitabha, two donors, our host invites you."

"Is it Master Qingyuan?" Su Yue asked.

"Yes, benefactors, please follow me."

After the little monk finished speaking, he clasped his hands together and led the way.

Murong Li and Su Yue looked at each other, followed the little monk, and turned left and right until they arrived in front of a side room.

"The two donors have arrived. The host is inside. Please come in."

After the little monk finished speaking, he walked away on his own.

The two nodded and pushed the door open and went in.

This was a Buddhist temple with a Buddha statue in the middle. Qingyuan sat in front of the statue and only opened his eyes slowly when he saw the two people come in.

"Please take a seat, benefactors." Qingyuan said with his hands clasped together.

The two looked at the two cushions opposite Qingyuan, which seemed to be prepared for them.

"Thank you very much."

Both of them sat cross-legged on the cushion.

"How are you, benefactors?" Qingyuan asked with his hands clasped together.

"It's fine. Master, how are you these days?" Murong Li returned his greeting.

"I am fine. Are you two benefactors here for Benefactor Murong?"

Qingyuan came straight to the point this time and didn't say anything about incomprehensible Zen sayings.

"Yes, there is one more thing I would like to ask you, Master." This time it was Su Yue who spoke.

Qingyuan glanced at Su Yue and said, "Your Excellency has arrived a little later than I expected. I think you were delayed by the incident with Your Excellency Murong some time ago."

Su Yue pursed her lips. This big monk seemed to know everything, but how could he not know that Murong Jing had escaped and had poisoned Murong Li?

She said with a somewhat unhappy tone: "Master can even calculate this, but why did you let Murong Jing escape?"

"It was my negligence, please forgive me, benefactor."

Qingyuan's eyelids jumped. This female donor had bad intentions. Murong Jing's escape was purely God's will, and God's will could not be defied.
