The next day, when Hou Zi had finished washing, he found another small baggage in front of his simple luggage. When he unpacked it, he found a bottle of elixir, a set of talismans, and three Taoist books, a lot of them.
This is the style of the four patrolmen in Jiangyou. He has become accustomed to it. He will neither refuse nor say thank you. Respecting others means respecting yourself.
No one came out to see her off, the friendship hadn't reached that level yet, and they were not my mother-in-law's people.
Shusheng Luo had already prepared two horses, because sometimes it would be difficult to run over due to being too heavy, so he would have to use the horses instead.
Hou Ting walked up to him and said, "Mr. Luo, I'd better go alone, so I won't bother you to see me off."
Shusheng Luo raised his eyebrows in surprise, "It's not a peaceful road, you..."
Hou Ting smiled slightly and said, "If I have to be escorted by someone when I go to the city, I don't need to try my sword. I can just go home."
Shusheng Luo looked at him deeply and said, "Okay! Just deposit the horses back to Jincheng Jianfu. This is Quanzhen's property."
Hou Zi didn't show any pretense. He cupped his hands slightly and got on his horse. Because he was in a densely populated area, he didn't let his horse gallop. He just trotted quickly, slowly disappearing in the twilight of the rising sun, leaving only a faint figure.
The three people walked out slowly. They had another collective action today. The four of them looked at the indifferent figure. Mr. Lu shook his head.
"I don't see what future he has for coming here to be humiliated in the Taoist sect; if he can endure the humiliation and stay dormant in order to make a comeback, and if he can look up to him, then he cannot escape his narrow-minded nature.
If he doesn't let you see him off, this last chance will be hard to come by."
This is probably their overall view, because they thought that they would have some good fortune after surviving peacefully and praying for peace, but in the end they still did not have the Dharma eyes of the Taoist sect, so they ran away angrily, thinking of learning skills outside and going back to honor their ancestors and slap the Taoist sect in the face.
This idea is indeed childish.
Is Daomen's face so easy to hit?
If you can't learn Tao for revenge, your mentality is wrong. Even in so-called magic sects like Quanzhen, such a concept is not promoted; the sword is a carrier and a technique; fundamentally, there is no fundamental difference between the magic sects and Taoist sects.
The state and difficulty are the same, this is the Tao.
Liang Laosi spoke directly, "Although I know that it is unlikely that this guy will enter Quanzhen, and even if he does get in, he may not be able to last long, but I am still willing to bless him. Well, this is not because I have beaten him.
Sorry, I have beaten as many people as the crucian carp crossing the river."
Master Pang Pang looked at Luo Laosan, who was still deep in thought, "Junior Brother Luo seems to have different opinions?"
Shusheng Luo sighed, "I always feel that this person is different. I can't explain it clearly. There seems to be a layer of fog that makes it difficult for people to see clearly?
But I think he can enter Quanzhen smoothly and do well here."
The four of them walked together, and Lu Laoer was still teasing, "Which one can you see clearly? From a distance, you are the only one like us who can see clearly? Even Liang Gouxiong has his own secrets, right?"
"
Liang Laosi scolded angrily, "You stupid bamboo pole, are you looking for a beating?"
………………
When Hou Zi left Jiangyou Town, there was a main road, so he didn't need to care about the route, just run along the main road.
Jiangyou is three hundred miles away from Jincheng. With his current riding skills, the road is wide and there are constant carriages and horses, so he can reach it before dusk; the horses raised by the Quanzhen sect are stronger than ordinary horses.
When cultivators talk, they always say half and half, you have to figure it out for yourself; just like the reason why the uncles in Jiangyou sent Luo Laosan to see him off, there is no risk in terms of road conditions now, and there are pedestrians and merchants.
How could a monster appear on the road?
Then there is only one purpose for sending him, such as taking him to meet Master Tongxuan, to get acquainted with him or something.
No force can adhere to its principles consistently, not even the iron-blooded ones such as the Quanzhen Demon Sect; there are still people who are worldly and sophisticated, and there are also people who pretend to be public for their own benefit. This is the real world of human cultivation.
There is no selfishness, unless they are all gods.
He was unwilling to accept this kind offer, because he not only regarded this place as a place for sleeping, but also as a place for practice. Only by truly sinking your heart here can you be a foolproof sleeping place.
Instead of asking for gossip all day long.
Riding light and fast horses makes it easy to travel, looking at the river and seeing the haze... The journey was uneventful. One evening a few days later, I could see the buildings of Jincheng from a distance. They were the same as Jiangyou, but there was no city wall!
Of course, to monks, especially to high-level monks, it really doesn't matter whether there is a city wall or not. And if it is a mortal war, well, there have been no mortal wars in the past thousand years. No matter what the dispute is, the most serious one is nothing more than
If the dispute reaches the level of cultivation, it will be resolved by the power of cultivation.
The speed gradually slowed down, because the pedestrians on the road began to get crowded, including vendors and foot soldiers, carrying handbags on their shoulders, and the buildings began to become more and more dense, but unlike Jiangyou Town, there are still streets here, which are wide and straight.
It gives people a majestic feeling.
People and order have formed a perfect fusion here. It may still be dirty and gloomy, but the prosperity on the surface is not easy to achieve. Before coming to Shan, Hou Zi imagined this place as a scene of hell on earth.
But only by actually being there can you realize how ridiculous those claims are.
He finally understood what a Taoist said in his travel notes: In fact, there is not that big a difference between Tao and demons. If you have Tao in your heart, what you learn is Tao, even if you are in a demon sect; if you have demons in your heart, what you learn is demon.
, even if you are in Taoism.
It was no longer suitable for him to ride a horse, so he led the horse and soon attracted the attention of interested people. A man in green robe walked up to him.
"This Taoist friend has been invited. What business do you have in Jincheng?"
Seeing the other person's eyes glancing at the horse, Hou Zi naturally understood the other person's identity.
"I am Hou Zi, who comes from Anhe Sanjiang Prefecture and is preparing to take part in the Taoist examination tomorrow."
The man smiled slightly and said, "Why is it tomorrow? It's almost dusk, and people are still energetic. I am a Taoist king, and I would like to lead fellow Taoists to meet the master in the hall now."
Hou Zi was a little surprised, "Isn't it a bit presumptuous to disturb the Taoist master's rest?"
Taoist Wang said, "Young Taoist Hou was still led astray by the Anhe Taoist Sect. In our Quanzhen sect, as long as it is official business, it will never matter day or night. With this big harvest, talents are pouring in. It is rude to let the guests wait in line."
Yi, so we can take the test whenever we come, as long as you don’t object?”
Hou Zi secretly laughed in his heart, maybe he was afraid that he would ask an acquaintance to ask for help? If he was holding the horse of the Quanzhen sect, he must have connections within the sect. It seemed that the Quanzhen sect was very serious about recruiting people this time, and tried to avoid being involved in worldly affairs.
in.
Without refusing, the two of them walked through the busy city. Half an hour later, the streets gradually became deserted, with more and more people carrying swords and fewer and fewer ordinary people, until they were all surrounded by Taoists carrying swords.
It seems that he has entered the Jian Mansion but has never seen the wall? He has adapted to the Quanzhen Sect's style. Although he seems casual, he reveals a suffocating confidence that is so powerful.
After walking around east and west, they came to a small courtyard. Wang Taoist guided him with his hand.
"Go ahead, I wonder which uncle is on duty today?"
Hou Ting thanked him and walked towards the courtyard. The courtyard door was ajar, but he still said politely:
"Anhe Sanjiang Houzi, here comes the reference to pass the test!"
No one answered, but the ajar door was slightly opened. Knowing what he meant, he pushed the courtyard door gently and closed it immediately. At this time, it was already dusk, and the red candle was shining brightly in the room, casting the shadow of a Taoist reading a book onto the
On the window paper, there was silence.
Exactly,
Leading a candle and stepping on the immortal mud, the milk swallows are always confused. I don't know if there is a Taoist priest who holds a spiritual scroll in his hand.
