Although the villa is nice, it is a prison for vision and ambition. For a Taoist boy who is not deeply involved in the world, the colorful world outside is more attractive after all.
At the pass leading in and out of Yangliu Villa, only the hanging branches of the two willow trees were left, dancing wildly in the strong wind. Lu Qiuniang, Guan Dashi, and Guan Lin'er stood in the wind, with their uncombed hair tangled from their buns and buns.
It came out and shook into pieces, disturbing the line of sight.
At the end of the line of sight, a thin figure gradually turned into a black dot and finally disappeared. Guan Lin'er was still holding a small cage woven with bamboo strips in her hand. Through the holes, a squirrel could be seen jumping up and down inside. The squirrel occasionally picked up the bottom of the cage.
After chewing a few pine cones, he threw them aside and continued to look for holes in the cage anxiously.
The three of them stood for a while, and then Guan Dashi said: "Sister Qiuniang, let's go back! Before the weather gets completely cold, we brothers will make more trips to the back mountains in the past few days to try to fight more.
The mountain products are back. At this time, the mountain products are also the most plump. During the winter, they all rely on the reserves of this season."
Lu Qiuniang tilted her head and smiled and said: "Brother Dashi, God has the virtue of loving life. If you can kill less in the future, a hundred years from now, you will have one less sin of killing."
Guan Dashi laughed: "I have always known that Qiuniang is a bodhisattva. But when we were on the battlefield, we also killed people. How big of a difference does it make if these birds and beasts kill more or less? King Yama or the Buddha of the West.
No matter what, you won’t forgive me anyway. It’s better to have no taboos and live happily in these few decades.”
Seeing that her advice was useless, Lu Qiuniang had no choice but to sigh: "Let's go back, Brother Dashi. The wind at the pass is strong and it has been blowing for a long time. I'm afraid Lin'er may feel uncomfortable." After saying that, she turned around and walked listlessly towards the village.
.
Guan Dashi pulled Guan Lin'er and followed Lu Qiuniang, and the distance gradually widened. It wasn't until a fork in the road that Guan Dashi stopped and said: "Lin'er, daddy knows that you are reluctant to let little Xi go. But the villa is too small, and Jiaolong will eventually
He is not a thing in the pond. Little Xi's future will definitely be long and far away. If you send him away in the past few years, he will come back after a while. Daddy is just worried that when you are older, maybe one day, Xi
After the boy leaves, he will never come back."
Guan Lin'er was already in a low mood, but after hearing Guan Dashi's incomprehensible words, her eyes turned red and tears rolled down her cheeks: "Dad, you are talking nonsense! Brother Xi said that if he likes Lin'er, he will definitely come back... 嘘嘘嘘嘤...
...Daddy talks nonsense..."
Guan Dashi stroked her head and said with a smile: "Dad is talking nonsense. You are still young now. When you are older, you will slowly understand these things. Little Xi, his father left early, so of course he hopes you will."
The two get along well. But if this bastard's heart flies to the mountains and makes Lin'er unhappy all day long, why bother coming to Daddy!"
Guan Lin'er's eyes were red, and she ran back a few steps ahead. Guan Dashi followed behind with a smile. She actually didn't know what would happen between these juniors in the future.
scene.
But it was said that Yang Zhaoxi left Yangliu Villa and walked quickly towards Cuiyun Peak, holding a barrier knife in his left hand. This knife was more than a foot long. It was a trophy taken by Guan Dashi when he went north to aid Hedong Road in his early years. Now it has been given to him.
, can be used for self-defense on the way.
With Yang Chaoxi's current martial arts skills, ordinary strongmen cannot stop him. However, there are always some precautions to be taken against wild beasts such as tigers, wolves, bears, and bears, and this barrier knife is most suitable for use in close combat.
The journey was uneventful, and Yang Zhaoxi walked much faster. At nearly noon, he had already arrived at the foot of Cuiyun Peak.
Looking at the winding stone steps, Yang Chaoxi thought to himself: Lunch is finally here! Although he ate a lot in the morning, he was already hungry at this time. As expected, as Guan Shibo said, practicing Taoism and martial arts consume the most energy.
And physical fitness. Only by eating a lot can your body not be depleted. Therefore, there has been a saying since ancient times that "the poor are poor in culture and rich in military". If ordinary people can go bankrupt just by eating this one thing, how can they continue to support a military man?
.
Thinking of these, Yang Zhaoxi climbed up two steps at a time. In less than a stick of incense, he stood in front of the Shangqing Temple. Looking at the simple and eye-catching word "Tianmen" above, he felt so warm for the first time!
It was Guan Huer who was on duty today, wearing a blue Taoist robe and standing solemnly beside the gate. When he saw Yang Chaoxi running up to the platform in front of the temple, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Taoist Master Chong Lingzi looked back.
The trail is far away to welcome you!" As he said that, he poked his head and looked behind him again, puzzled, "Didn't Senior Sister Hua Xiko accompany you? Senior Brother Guanzhong has been waiting for you for a long time, and he is here to greet you.
To the immortal Taoist couple!"
Although Yang Zhaoxi had expected it, he didn't know that the rumors had spread to such an extent. He couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said: "Guan Hu'er, are you here to entertain me too? I secretly asked you to be my uncle last year. You actually still...
Is it worthy of Miss Lin'er to collude with them and talk nonsense?"
Guan Hu'er smiled and pulled him into the gate: "That's wrong. It's obviously you who went out to attract bees and butterflies. I'm sorry Lin'er first. As an uncle, I can't be ashamed of you.
Sentence? But after knowing this, Niu Pang'er was happy for several days, and said that he would tell Lin'er about you when he got back, so that no one would rob him."
Yang Chaoxi gritted his teeth and said, "This Niu Pang'er knows how to add insult to injury! Guan Hu'er, is there any happy event in the temple today? Why does everything look brand new everywhere you look?"
Guan Huer said: "You missed it this time! Ten days ago, there was a 'Cuiyun Dan Meeting' held in the temple. The temple masters and supervisors of Taoist temples near Luoyang all live in the temple. Even your master Chang Yuan lives in the temple.
We came here from the south, it was so lively! In addition, we invited a 'Master Lu Yong' from Chang'an, who was said to have a great background, and he scared forty or fifty officers and soldiers away with just a few words..."
"My master is back! Are you still watching now?" Yang Zhaoxi was stunned when she heard that her master was back. Then she became extremely excited and quickly interrupted Guan Huer's eloquent words.
"Master Changyuan only stayed for one night, and went south early the next morning with the 'Master Lu Yong', saying that he had official duties. However, there is an old immortal living in the temple now, who is a friend of the temple owner.
, That Tao Kung Fu is really unpredictable! If I, Guan Huer, can practice to that level in my life, tut! tut! I can’t go anywhere..." Guan Huer is now possessed by the chatterbox ghost, and once he speaks, he will
Can't stop anymore.
While the two were talking, they had already walked into the courtyard. When they saw their fellow apprentices, they all greeted Yang Zhaoxi one after another. Most of their smiles were meaningful, which made him feel like he had fallen into a snake's den.
Without stopping, Yang Chaoxi walked straight into Ziji Palace, bowed to Zhenren Gongsun who was sitting in front of the statue of Taoist God, and said, "Well, Master, the disciple is back." After saying that, he put a bag in his hand.
He held it up and said, "This is the new corn my mother, Guan Shibo and the others got this year to use as incense."
Gongsun Zhenren turned his head and smiled and said: "It's good to come back! In the past few days since you were away, several things have happened in the temple, which will be very beneficial to the future inheritance and expansion of our Taoist sect! You go to the living room to rest first, and then come after lunch
I have a Taoist friend here whom I haven't seen for many years. He is currently a guest in the temple. I will introduce you to him this afternoon. If you can get a few words from him, it will be of great benefit to your future cultivation."
Yang Zhaoxi resigned from Ziji Palace and went to a private room to meet Han Fengqiao, the son of Chengxu. He chose the most important points to tell him what had happened during the past few days in Luoyang. After he nodded his approval, he took him with him.
Take your baggage with you and return to your room.
In the living room, Niu Pang'er and Sun Hunian were arguing about something. When they saw Yang Chaoxi coming in, they stopped talking. The two of them jumped on him, one of them pressing him down on the wooden bed.
Pang Niu'er was the first to attack: "Yang Zhaoxi! You were so happy in Luoyang that you are finally willing to come back! Now that you have met senior sister Hua Xizi, from now on, you are not allowed to compete with me for sister Lin'er!"
Yang Zhaoxi was pressed on the bed, but she said with a smile: "You two? Little monkey, do you also like Miss Lin'er? Besides, Miss Lin'er is not an object, so if you fight over her, she has to nod, right?"
"
Sun Hunian also laughed and said: "You dared to talk nonsense after being held down by the two of us. It seems that you want to get beaten! Since you have a good senior sister, if I don't fight for it, wouldn't it be an advantage for you?"
Bullshit'?"
Yang Chaoxi laughed: "That makes sense!"
When Niu Pang'er saw Sun Hunian defecting before the battle, he was furious. He released Yang Zhaoxi's hand and turned to attack Sun Hunian. One of the two was nimble and the other was reckless. They stood on the two wooden beds and the brick floor.
Jumping around, the room became as messy as a pigsty for a while.
Yang Chaoxi saw that the two of them were at odds with each other and that if they continued to fight, they would get really angry, so he went up to intercept Niu Pang'er, and said with a smile: "It's almost time to have a rest. Let's go to the Zhaiyuan first and come back after we have eaten."
If you make trouble again, if you arrive late, the delicious vegetarian food will be snatched up by others!"
When Niu Pang'er heard about the meal, he calmed down and said with a smile: "Little hozen, I'll argue with you later! We agreed to deal with this guy who forgets his friends because of his lust, but you, a wallflower, fell too fast."
!”
Sun Hunian also smiled and retorted: "Man Niu! Are you afraid of you or something? Let's show off our moves on the martial arts field and ask all the brothers to make a decision. Do you dare to come?"
Niu Pang'er snorted and ignored him. He turned around and put his arms around Yang Chaoxi. He left the room first and headed towards the courtyard. Sun Hunian smiled and followed closely.
After lunch, Yang Zhaoxi found Senior Brother Zhu Jieran in the kitchen, took out the pair of finger tigers from his arms and gave them to him: "Brother Zhu, this is before returning to the mountain. Senior Brother Fang Qidou took it from Tu Liangshan."
I came back. The two of us beat up that Tu Liangshan guy in Luoyang North City, which was regarded as revenge for you, haha..."
While Yang Zhaoxi was talking, he told Zhu Jieran about the incident that day in Luoyang North City, where he met his mother and was scorned by a prodigal, and also involved Tu Liangshan coming to pick a fight. He clapped his hands and applauded her.
Zhu Jieran exclaimed: "That Tu Liangshan's subordinate is very skilled in kung fu. Even if he didn't use any dirty tricks that day, it would not be easy for me to take him down. Now that Junior Brother Yang has such martial arts, he can actually suppress him and fight."
, it’s probably enough to do chivalry and righteousness.” After that, he played with the pair of tiger fingers again, and said with a smile, “The tiger fingers are not evil or good at first, but the people who use them are mostly evil-hearted.
, sneak attack on the traitor. For me, this incident is also a lesson. From now on, this tiger finger will be hung in the living room to remind me that I must be on guard against others. "
The two chatted for a while. Zhu Jieran was concerned about the recovery of Yang Chaoxi's hidden wounds. Yang Chaoxi also looked at the wounds on Zhu Jieran's forearm and calf. After seeing that the wounds had healed, he bid farewell to Zhu Jieran and went to Ziji Palace.
Come.
In the side hall of Ziji Palace, Gongsun Zhenren and an old Taoist with white beard and hair were sitting cross-legged on a wooden couch facing each other. Several low tables were placed between the two of them. On them were various utensils for making tea.
There are more than twenty pieces. Each of them is holding a Yue porcelain tea bowl, chatting and sipping tea soup.
Gongsun Zhenren put down the tea bowl in his hand, added more tea soup to the old Taoist, and then said with a smile: "Wu Tianshi! You used to travel all over the world and practiced the first-class Taoism. Today you have another good luck! This 'Qujiang thin slice'
I have been hiding it for more than ten years, and even if fellow Taoist Changyuan comes over, I have never eaten it a few times. This set of Yue porcelain tea bowls has been used for more than twenty years. There were originally eight, but now there are only three left..."
This old man with white beard and hair is Master Wu Tianshi of Wu Zhengjie who lives here. Hearing Master Gongsun show off like this, he reached out and tapped Master Gongsun a few more times, and retorted with a smile: "Brother Xuantong, the older you are, the less generous you are.
Yes! But after eating a few bowls of tea from you, it’s like asking for credit and asking for rewards, talking about so many useless things, it’s annoying to hear!"
Gongsun Zhenren raised his eyebrows and said, "It's just a joke! But after drinking this tea, your teeth and cheeks will be filled with fluid, your body will be smooth, your body will be light, and your armpits will feel the wind! It's like a feeling of becoming a feather and ascending!"
Master Wu Tianshi stroked his beard and smiled and said: "This is too true. When the old Taoist becomes immortal and ascends to heaven someday, I will come back to confirm the Haikou you boasted about today!"
Gongsun Zhenren ate another bowl and heard Yang Chaoxi's footsteps entering the main hall. When he came to the couch where the two of them were sitting, he smiled again and said: "Chong Lingzi, this is Wu Tianshi Wu Zhengjie, don't you think so?"
Salute quickly!"
After hearing this, Yang Chaoxi quickly bowed down with his hands raised: "Disciple Chong Lingzi, pay your respects to Wu Tianshi!" When Wu Tianshi heard the voice, he turned to him, nodded and smiled at him.
When Yang Zhaoxi raised his head, he saw Wu Tianshi turned pale with shock. He let go of his hand and the tea bowl rolled over on top of the cases!
