I woke up at four or five the next day.

I found the restaurant the innkeeper had mentioned.

The people in the restaurant were carrying baskets of vegetables to the mountain.

The restaurant owner was counting the vegetables with a list.

It was my turn to tell lies.

I first went to the boss to talk about my misery. After a lot of persuasion, I finally joined the restaurant at a price of two thousand yuan a month.

Then I found an old man carrying a basket.

"Uncle, are these vegetables delivered to the mountain?"

The old man rubbed his shoulders and said, "Yes, these are all ordered in advance and must be delivered before eight o'clock. They were delivered before the boss finished counting."

I said shamelessly: "Uncle, how about I carry it for you this time, I'm new here"

"I'm not familiar with this area, the boss wants to try me out for a few days, I need to perform better these days"

"Let me carry it for you, let me get familiar with it."

The uncle didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You kid, carrying this thing doesn't make money, and it's tiring, why don't you wash dishes and cut vegetables in the store?"

I straightened my back: "No problem, I just want to experience it, uncle, to be honest, the first time I saw you, it was as kind as seeing my grandfather, it's a pity that my grandfather passed away early"

"He died before I was born, just now I saw you carrying such a big basket of vegetables, I couldn't help but think of the suffering my grandfather had to endure when he supported my father."

"Uncle, just leave it to me, let me, a young boy, suffer a little bit."

The old man believed the lies and patted my shoulders and sighed:

"Baby, you are about the same age as my grandson, but you are much more sensible"

"I wish my grandson was half as sensible as you. Your grandfather, my elder brother, died so early. You have a miserable life."

After a sigh, the old man asked the boss and didn't refuse.

He helped me carry the backpack.

It seems simple, but I didn't know how heavy it was until I put it on my back.

It almost crushed me when I first put it on my back.

After that, the old man taught me some skills, such as where to apply force, how long to rest after walking, etc.

He went to find some rags to pad my shoulders. The old hands had thick calluses on their shoulders.

The old man said that a novice like me would bleed on my shoulders after carrying it once.

It would bleed again the second time. Gradually, the calluses would come out and the skin would be thick.

Soon, the team of several people delivering vegetables set off.

In addition to me, there were three or four older brothers.

They also took good care of me as a newcomer. They didn't walk too fast, followed my pace, and chatted.

I asked them the time, and we could reach the mountain before eight o'clock even if we walked slowly.

Yesterday's climb was far worse than today's.

My legs were shaking as I climbed up with a basket of vegetables on my back.

The older brother next to me handed me a bottle of water and said:

"You have good physical strength, young man. Most people will definitely exceed the time limit if they carry vegetables on their backs for the first time."

"Children who grew up in the countryside work a lot, so what's this little work?" I drank the water in one breath and followed the pace of several older brothers.

We all wore straw hats on our heads, and the older brothers were familiar with the road and ignored the Taoist boy and went in on their own.

I was always nervous on the way, and it was not until I was completely in that the surprise blossomed in my heart.

Finally, I got in. My words and weight-bearing climbing were not in vain.

We could leave after carrying the vegetables to the kitchen.

Of course, I couldn't follow them when they left, otherwise it would be in vain.

So I made an excuse that I had some things to do on the mountain and would not be able to go down the mountain until the afternoon.

After I said that, the elder brothers naturally didn't get suspicious. They told me to be careful and went down the mountain.

After they left, I also started to move and hid in a corner to change my clothes.

I changed into the same white Taoist robe as the Taoist priests on the mountain.

If I didn't change into the Taoist robe and wore my own clothes, I would be caught after walking a few steps.

I bought this Taoist robe from the tailor shop at the foot of the mountain, and the Taoist priests on the mountain also bought their robes from there.

As soon as I walked out after changing my clothes, I heard a dry cough next to me. I turned my head and saw that it was the Chongming Taoist priest again.

He squatted by the tree and stared at me with a smile: "Please go back, benefactor."

If I can beat this bunch of Taoist priests, I will definitely beat Chongming up.

This Taoist priest is very bad. He seems to know how I will get in in advance.

And he didn't tell me even though he knew it. He waited for me to spend a lot of time to get in quickly.

Just when I was about to be happy,

he suddenly appeared and gave me a heavy blow.

This Chongming is simply weird!

I even suspected that there were surveillance cameras everywhere on the mountain, and I couldn't escape him no matter where I went.

Chongming is simply a worm in my stomach.

The veins on my forehead jumped and I could only honestly leave the mountain gate.

There are so many Taoists here that I can't force my way in, and I can't escape from Taoist Chongming if I sneak in.

After that, I tried several other methods one after another for half a day,

either they were not feasible or I was caught by Chongming after entering.

In the end, I simply gave up and no longer thought about sneaking in.

I thought about using some extreme methods.

At night, I came to the mountain gate,

two Taoist children at the door blinked at me, and Taoist Chongming was waiting for me at the mountain entrance,

with a helpless smile: "Donor, don't you give up?"

'It's so late, please go back'.

I ignored Chongming and turned away. Chongming also thought that I would quit the association.

But after a closer look, I found that I did not leave.

Instead, I ran to the side of the Taoist temple, then ran back, and gradually circled the Taoist temple several times.

After more than half an hour, I returned to the mountain gate and sat down.

Chongming squinted his eyes suspiciously: "Master Zhang's behavior this time, I really... "

He couldn't say the next sentence. He squinted and suddenly opened his eyes to look at the bamboo forest, the way up the mountain, the side of the Taoist temple, and other directions.

The two Taoist children could not see this scene. In their eyes, I was the only one sitting at the mountain gate.

The Taoist child asked in confusion: "Uncle Chongming, what's wrong with you?".

Chongming could see endless ghosts like a dark wall.

The yin energy turned into a whirlwind and stirred up a series of inexplicable gusts of wind on the top of the mountain.

Birds flew high in the dark night.

There would be no pilgrims at night in Longhu Mountain. Once night came, the long steps would be empty.

But at this moment, there were many people standing on the steps leading directly to the mountain gate.

No, they can't be called people!

The hazy ghosts slowly approached the mountain gate, and the ghosts on both sides of the Taoist temple all moved towards the mountain gate.

Chongming looked unbelievable and subconsciously took two steps back: "What's going on?".

"Is this a lonely ghost? How can there be so many?"?

"Why are so many ghosts gathering towards the mountain gate?".

The Taoist boy supported Chongming: "Little Master, what's wrong with you? Even if the wind blows, it shouldn't be like this."

Chongming stood firm and made a quick decision with his eyes: "Quick! Go quickly."

"Go back and ask my master to come over!"
