Chapter 33 The strange old man
Land Temple,
I stared at the Land Temple not far away. The temple door was open, but,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Also, the evil aura around me disappeared strangely, and the dazzling sunlight shone on my face, which was so painful that I quickly reached out to cover it. When my fingers moved, I found that there was a round thing in my palm, which was a bead and a white bead. I swallowed my saliva suddenly and said in a panic: "What a mother, this is a jade Buddha bead."
"Hahaha, little baby, you got such a good baby, and you can see what you see there, and you won't put it away."
An old laughter suddenly broke my thoughts instantly. I turned my head and looked into the air. I saw an old and crooked tree with an old tilted neck. An old man in gray cloth was lying on the back. His figure was like the old trunk of the tree, extremely thin and depressed, but his face was rosy, but his beard and hair were grayish white, which felt a bit like a fairy-like feeling.
It seems that the laughter just now came from him.
I looked at everything around me again, and hurriedly clasped my fists inexplicably and said, "Thank you for helping me, younger Maoshan disciples,."
"Wait." Before I could finish reading the respectful words, the old man suddenly reached out to stop him, and then asked in confusion: "What are you going to save me? I am resting and taking a nap here. When will I save you?"
"Uh." I opened my mouth blankly. It wasn't him who saved me, I didn't believe it. Seeing him dressed, he looked like a Taoist master who was traveling around the world. I confirmed again: "Are you not a Taoist sect?"
"Taomen, what Taoist sect?" The old man suddenly held a dead branch with one hand and sat upright, then smiled bitterly: "I don't even have my own door, how can I come from? You little kid, just practice Taoism by yourself, and you still force me to get involved in some Taoist sect, hahaha,."
I hurriedly stepped forward and made a gesture to support me, and said anxiously: "Old man, be careful, why are you going up so high?"
The old man seemed to see me pretending to support me, and immediately waved his dry palms with some displeasure and said, "I am very young, I don't need you, a little baby, to help me. What a comfortable sleeping on this tree, with the sky as the cover of the earth as the mat, hahaha, it's so wonderful, it's so wonderful."
"Oh yo ~~~"
"Swish~~~"
As I was talking, the old man accidentally fell down and his clothes were just hanging by a piece of dry branches. He was torn apart. I couldn't help but smile and hurried forward to support the old man and stood on the ground. But the old man pushed me away as soon as he stood firm, and glared at him: "Hmph, stinky brat, what have you done long ago? Didn't you see that I am so old? I don't know how to help me."
"Ah." I was stunned for a moment and explained with a frustrated face: "Old man, you, you obviously didn't let me support me, have you forgotten?"
"Is that right?" the old man turned his head and looked at me, and asked in confusion: "Did I say it? When did I say it? Silly brat, don't bully me, you can't beat you. I can make you go a few spots on the spot at any time."
As he said that, the old man immediately rolled up his sleeves and rushed up to teach a lesson. I retreated in a daze, waved his hand and begged for mercy, saying, "Okay, okay, old man, it's my fault, it's my fault, it's me that I didn't expect to help you down. Please forgive me this time."
After saying that, I held my fists and bowed, which made the old man slowly stop, but immediately the old man said again: "Little baby, you see, my clothes are torn because of your wrong thing. How do you think I will compensate me."
"Ah,." I almost jumped up on the spot. This,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
The old man stroked his gray beard and thought for a while. Suddenly his eyes turned and pointed to the Dharma bag on my waist and smiled: "Then pay me the new clothes in your bag, hehe."
"No." I almost didn't even have room for thinking and refused to leave it, just because the new clothes in the Dharma bag were,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I immediately asked, "Old man, how do you know that there is a new piece of clothing in my Dharma bag?"
The old man smiled pretentiously, but immediately revealed his true colors and said, "Just when you were unconscious just now, I peeked at your broken bag. I didn't expect there was still some inventory, which was good."
I was speechless. There were people who were peeking at other people's things and dared to say it was lightly. But thinking that he was an old man, I didn't care about him as much as he did, but I must not give my master's things to others. Even if I give him my clothes, it's OK, but Master's, I must not.
I nodded solemnly and said, "Old man, there is indeed a new piece of clothing in my Dharma bag, but it is my master's. He, he has passed away. I can't give his things to others casually. I really can't," he said.
After saying that, I didn't know that I was already covered in tears. Alas, I miss Master so much that I can't help but feel sad.
"Oh, that's not a corner of the clothes exposed?" The old man suddenly pointed at my Dharma bag with a smile and said, "Is there a lot of money left when everyone is dead? We'll be fine if we compensate me, we'll be fine, hehe."
Suddenly, the old man turned around and came to me, and pulled out the master's gray long gown. Before I could stop him, he ran away quickly and quickly replaced him. When I ran to the front, the old man was already wearing a belt.
I stared at the old man's clothes in a daze, stretched out my hand in the air, and couldn't say a word, and finally I had to sigh deeply.
But the old man seemed a little dissatisfied and said, "Isn't such a fitting dress just for me? Humph, it's still left on you, why don't you wear it, and you'll wear it?"
I waved my hands repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, I'll give it to you. You're satisfied now, alas."
As I said that, I bent over and picked up the Buxie Sword, took out the Tiangang Demon Subduing Picture and wrapped it up and carried it on my back. But suddenly, the old man stood in front of me, and didn't say anything, just rubbed his beard constantly. I asked impatiently: "Old man, we have cleared each other, why haven't you left yet?"
The old man was displeased when he heard this, and immediately blew his beard and stared at him, "You are so unkind, you are very unkind."
I was also amused when I heard this, and asked with a wry smile: "Why am I not kind?"
The old man rolled his eyes and glanced at my magic bag again. I was shocked and quickly took two steps back. He laughed and said, "The ancients said: Those who see are worthy of ill-gotten wealth. Have you never heard of it?"
I glared at me and said in surprise: "Irjue money, what kind of ill-gotten money, how can I have any ill-gotten money? By the way, the ancients said that you should not be greedy for ill-gotten money, no one can have a share in the eyes, haha."
The old man was still excited and immediately corrected: "Hey, did you just get a priceless jade Buddhist bead?"
My head heated up and I immediately understood the old man's meaning. I hurriedly said, "The treasures in the world are here, and I have the opportunity to get them. If I stay here, I will inevitably be taken to practice by other things. By the way, the thousand-year-old elixir is not what it is, the jade Buddha bead is obvious,."
The old man shook his head and smiled, "I didn't expect that you, a little baby, still understand some human nature. Let's sort out whether you were unconscious just now."
I immediately did not refute and nodded, "Yes."
The old man continued with satisfaction: "At that time, I could have easily obtained the Jade Buddha Beads, but in the end I didn't take it."
My face tightened, and,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
The old man continued, "Since I have given it to you, should you express your gratitude? Hehe?"
"Uh,,." I grabbed the back of my head in shock. How could I just sort it out? I looked at the old man, and the old man looked at me with a smile at the moment. I took a deep breath and said, "Okay, then what do you want me to express."
The old man smiled sly, stretched out his two fingers in front of me and rubbed them slightly, saying, "It's best for me to speak, just give me some pocket money, haha."
My scalp tingles, but I held it back and asked in a low voice: "How much do you want."
The old man suddenly stretched out five fingers and smiled and said, "I don't cheat you, I just give you fifty dollars, hehe."
I finally couldn't suppress the flame in my heart and all of them came out: "Old man, you robbed, first I gave the clothes, I've already endured the pain to give you, and now I'm asking for so much money, you,,."
"Oh yo~~~~~ I'm so miserable. Even the little baby bullies me. Everyone sees it~~~~~" Before I could finish speaking, the old man immediately slapped his thighs with both hands, sat on the ground and cried out in a short voice. I opened my mouth again, I admit that I was really defeated by him,,,
I don’t have much money on it, so Baotou secretly gave it to me. In total, it was only a few dozen yuan. I gave it to the old man, and I only had a dozen yuan left. The road ahead is long, so I’m afraid it will be difficult to get to the northern Sichuan area.
But judging from the old man's attitude, if he didn't give him money, he would probably shout all over the world that I owe him money. Oh, just give it to me.
He handed over fifty dollars to the old man, and the old man immediately smiled again, put it in his pocket as expected, then patted the dust on his body, and smiled happily: "Little baby, a child can teach, haha."
I always felt that the old man was strange and asked hurriedly, "I don't know what you call him."
The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, stroked his beard, and then slowly said: "Well, I call him the old man. Oh, I forgot it for a while, little baby, just call him."
I rolled my eyes and said, "I can't call you old man."
When the old man heard this, he nodded with a smile and said, "Old man, okay, old man, I am qualified to be an old man, well, wonderful."
I had nothing to say again. This old man was strange for a while, a little crazy, a little fairy-like, and a childlike childlike fun. It was really hard to see through. By the way, the thousand-year-old charm in the land temple, I have to ask the old man,,
I accidentally looked back at the Land Temple. When I turned around, I saw that there was already empty all around me. There was no old man. I immediately looked around and saw that the old man was wandering around at the foot of the mountain in the distance. I opened my eyes in shock and suddenly realized that he was really a master.
And the old man seemed to know that I was looking at him, and waved his hand without looking back, saying, "Little baby, I'll give you four words, Dharma treasure land, you will gradually understand in the future,."
I stood there in a daze, and clearly replied to the old man's words in my mind. His words seemed to be confined to my mind and could not be gone. Until the old man gradually disappeared from sight, the words in my mind slowly disappeared,
I felt mixed feelings in my heart, and I suddenly turned around and rushed into the Land Temple quickly,
