Hou Zi bowed deeply and said, "Xidao is friendly and you take the liberty to come to the door, but you don't know whether it is convenient or not?"
"The contact point will turn the body around, and wisdom will give rise to expediency; a single thought will be unobstructed, and you will finally be able to return to the door.
What’s the inconvenience?”
Hou Zi knew that quarreling with such a hermit would lead to defeat but no victory, so he simply got back to business.
"It looks like floating duckweeds, with nowhere to settle down. This time I happened to be in Liuyang, and I thought that I still have a few friends in the city. I don't know when I will come back next time.
Is that kid okay?"
Taoist Xi is good at everything, but she loves to be clever and can't make ten twists and turns in a sentence. Listening to her talk is like playing a riddle with no correct answer.
"What is good? What is bad? Willows beside the road, grass in the mountains, trees in the ants..."
Hou Zi scratched his head and said, "I mean..."
Taoist Xi interrupted him, "What you mean is not what I mean; I think she is very good, but you may not think she is good either, but what is good or bad when you talk about what is good or bad without care?"
This time, Hou Zi, the rough man, finally understood. This was Taoist Xi's hint to him. Don't stay in the door. Seeing is worse than hearing a hundred times. He came even after he came, and only asked insinuatingly. He didn't even have the courage to meet. Practice
People should not escape from their true nature.
But that's not what he's worried about. "I'm worried about bringing back memories for my children. If fellow Taoists don't mind, of course I don't mind."
Taoist Xi was calm and indifferent, "She is much stronger than you think!"
Hou Ting felt relieved. Since the Taoist Master Xi had said this about the child, he must be a promising person. He was about to step inside, but found that the Taoist Master Xi had no intention of giving way.
I couldn't help but be confused, "Fellow Taoist, what is this?"
Taoist Xi smiled slightly, "The heart is not here. She successfully sensed Qi naturally as early as ten years ago. I couldn't stop her, so I sent her to the Taoist Academy. It has been many years."
Hou Zi was not surprised. The little girl was a little weird. Weird people always have their own destiny.
"Have you also entered Taoism? Are you in Liuyang? Or in Shendu?"
Taoist Xi shook his head, "The Anhe Taoist sect is in shaky condition. It is not a place of cultivation, and she is not an Anhe person. The child Quanzhen of the Yan sect may not be willing to join, so I sent her to Taihao, Wei State, where I have a good friend.
"
Hou Zi was a little confused. The Kingdom of Wei was far enough for a child to be alone, but it was also in line with the style of a practitioner like Taoist Xi.
Taoist Xi took out a treasure gourd and said, "Inside this is the winter coat I cut for her, as well as some other odds and ends. I go there every year to take a look at her. But I think it is more appropriate for you to go this time."
You need a chance, and she also needs a relief. If you can't forget it, you need to face it calmly."
Hou Zi took the treasure gourd without hesitation, "In this case, I have no obligation to refuse. I wonder if you have any other instructions?"
Taoist Xi took it for granted, "There has been some chaos in the Taoist palace in Liuyang City recently. Someone from the palace made Taoist Wu Feng pretend to be peaceful and implement Wumen's decisions, which made everyone in Liuyang City's casual cultivator circle feel in danger, even me, who is pure
The land is not immune..."
Hou Tiao bowed his head and said, "Understood. I will leave Liuyang immediately and won't cause trouble to everyone here."
Watching Hou Zi go away, Taoist Master Xi slowly turned around and closed the door; two young disciples inside the door were hiding behind the door, eavesdropping on what the master was talking to.
The relationship between them was obviously very deep, and they were like mother and daughter. One of them, Xinlian, got involved.
"Master, who is he? Is he a relative of the eldest sister?"
Taoist Xi glanced at her, "You are sneaky and there are no rules at all; who said that someone who sends clothes thousands of miles away must be a relative, or maybe an enemy?"
The other person named Xinyi was not afraid of her, "Is he a friend of the master? This person is also very strange, clumsy and clumsy..."
Taoist Xi sighed, these children were spoiled by her.
Xintong, Xinyi, and Xinlian were all girls she adopted. She originally wanted to relieve her boredom while practicing, but after the news was released, several friends sent her several children with different origins, and they were also friends. Everyone in the circle understands her personality and is very relieved.
There are benefits to having more children. You will have playmates and you will no longer be alone.
Three children with stories and their master with stories are what this little Taoist temple is all about.
Originally, under her guidance, these children had no worries about their future and had excellent talents. One can imagine the excellence of their elders; but the eldest child among them had a somewhat different heart.
She showed early on a talent that should not belong to her age, a kind of forward-looking prediction of future events. To put it bluntly, she has the foundation to become a fortune teller and astrology.
For children of this age, there is no benefit at all in developing their abilities in this area prematurely when their Taoism is not stable; although Taoist Xi is knowledgeable and has a wide range of interests, he is not very good at divination, so for the sake of Xintong's future , she had to be sent to the distant Wei State Taihao.
Taihao is also a Taoist tradition recognized in the southwest region as having profound knowledge in divination.
The three children who grew up together have been separated since childhood, and their missing each other is growing day by day. They are looking forward to following their master to go to Tahoe to visit Xin Tong, but their originally good plan does not come to pass. They all start to prepare their bags, but are interrupted by this weird man. You can imagine the resentment in the Taoist's heart when he was disrupted.
Only then did the scene of two honest disciples secretly leaning under the door to eavesdrop. Taoist Xi knew about it, and Hou Zi also knew about it, but it was just a ridiculous episode.
But for two young girls, this is the most important thing in their lives.
"Next year, there is always a chance. If you two work harder and achieve Tongxuan yourself, then you can go whenever you want. Why do you have to look at other people's eyes?"
Tomorrow after tomorrow, next year after next year, the two little girls muttered, but they dared not not listen to the master's words...
Taoist Xi meditated to calm herself down again; regarding this sudden decision, she didn't know if she was right or not.
Intuitively, she realized that Xintong, the most talented person, had been stuck in the bridge level for several years and could not be promoted, and she was also very anxious.
Practicing the mystical teachings of mind has very high requirements on mental state. Xintong is in his twenties, which is the right time for him. However, he has failed to succeed many times, and it is difficult to say why.
But she vaguely realized that this might be related to that experience when she was young. Although Xintong never said it, Taoist Xi knew that she had never forgotten it.
So, when Hou Zi showed up, her first reaction was that this might be an opportunity to break her heart barrier.
Just like that, they fell into silence, and as time passed by, the two disciples completed their practice; they happily carried the vegetables and went out to prepare for dinner...
The sky is getting dark, and there is something... different on the street?
She could notice that monks were constantly flying over Liuyang City. What seemed to be happening?
The courtyard door was pushed open violently, and two disciples rushed in, "Master, Master, something has happened!"
Xi Dao didn't raise his head or open his eyes, "Every time there is a big event, you should be calm. How many times have I told you."
Xinlian gasped: "Master, something has happened! Just a moment ago, someone broke into the Taoist palace and beheaded Taoist Wuzhen on the Xuantai! Now the Taoist palace is searching the whole city, but no one is found..."
Taoist Xi was calm as usual, "Oh? He died in the middle of the day? It doesn't seem like a bad thing."
Xinyi showed off her knowledge, "I heard that the murderer left a sentence on the white wall of Xuantai: practice at noon, and you will die sooner or later!"
Taoist Xi fell into deep thought, this guy...
...I met Huang Xu'er on the road and talked about his life. I promised to draw my sword and not tell the master's name.
