In an abandoned house in Qinglongfang, there is a huge locust tree. It has lush branches and leaves, towering into the clouds. It is lush and green, nearly ten meters thick, and is the tallest tree in Qinglongfang.
It was already night, and a bright moon had risen above the branches of the locust tree.
An old man with white hair appeared furtively in the courtyard carrying a food box.
"It should be this tree..."
The old man squinted his eyes and looked at the locust tree that was blocking the sky and the sun. He carefully took out a bottle of wine from his food box, placed a cooked pig's head in front of the locust tree, and ordered
I burned three sticks of incense, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed three times sincerely, and said loudly.
"The tree god Sophora japonica is here. I was the bystander when the Sophora japonica god had a chat with the Sophora japonica king of Jiahuifang a month ago. Now I have prepared some tributes and asked the Sophora japonica god to show up and give me some guidance."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, a black mist filled the locust tree, making it look eerie and terrifying.
Then, a huge figure walked out of the black mist, with two lantern-like eyes looking at the old man kneeling under the big tree.
Boo!
The giant sat down cross-legged and made a loud noise. The old man even felt the ground shaking.
"It turns out it's you, Bi Zhuo, who is beside the jar..."
The giant opened his mouth and inhaled hard, and the incense that the old man lit immediately began to shorten at a speed visible to the naked eye. Large strands of cigarettes emerged from the incense and flew towards his mouth like birds flying into the forest.
"call……"
After taking a sip of the cigarette, the giant let out a long breath, picked up the pig's head from the ground, took a big bite, and then said vaguely.
"What do you want to do when you find someone?"
"Tree God Mingjian..."
Jiang Sou kowtowed to the ground again.
"A certain person in life was good at Taoism, but no one could teach him about it. Not long ago, I saw the Taoist priest who could fly quietly next to King Dahuai, and I was shocked to realize that the immortal was in Chang'an. But I have been asking around for a month, but I didn't find out at all.
I found out who this Taoist priest who wields a flying sword is, so I had no choice but to alert the deity. I hope the deity can give me some advice, and I will be grateful."
"Are you planning to seek apprenticeship with him? Hahaha..."
After hearing Jiang Sou's words, the giant burst out laughing. While laughing, he looked at him up and down.
"You drunk cat, do you know that as you have passed the age of knowing your destiny, it is impossible to succeed in learning Taoism... Hey, you actually have immortal bones..."
The giant blinked his lantern-like eyes, and then looked at Jiang Sou carefully.
"It is true that there are immortal bones... Well, since you asked sincerely, I will tell you with great mercy that the Taoist priest that day was the Qingdu temple where Lao Jun had been preached as a saint, which has been rumored in Chang'an City recently.
His master, Qingwei Zhenren."
"It turns out that the little immortal is watching in Qingdu..."
After Jiang Sou heard the giant's words, he kowtowed on the ground several times with great joy and said excitedly.
"Thank you to the tree god for your guidance. Thank you to the tree god for your guidance."
"No need to thank you!"
The giant stood up and threw the last remaining pig's head into his mouth.
"As long as you can keep it a secret and don't tell anyone about the news I told you, didn't Hua Biao and Lao Hu die because they didn't keep their mouth shut? That little Taoist priest...the little fairy
Very irritable, it would be bad if he doesn't like you and takes his anger out on me."
"Don't worry, Sophora God!"
Jiang Sou stood up in joy and bowed three times to the locust tree.
"A certain person has the strictest tone..."
Early the next morning, when Kong Qing was doing morning exercises, Shu Chuo hurried to his door.
"Master, are you busy?"
"No need to talk nonsense..."
Kong Qing put his hands behind his back and didn't look back. The Gu Chen Sword flying on its own circled and sprinted around him, as if it was stimulated by light and electricity.
"Lao Shu, what do you want from Pindao?"
Shu Chuo looked at the flying swords flying around Kong Qing, with envy in his eyes.
"In charge, there is a person who wants to join our Quanzhen Sect."
"Lao Shu, you can just make your own decision about this kind of thing,"
Kong Qing waved his finger, and the ancient dust sword whizzed through the air, as horizontal as a piece of silk, leaving a bright streak in the air.
"You don't have to ask me for anything..."
"But this man is strange..."
Shu Chuo blinked and said mysteriously.
"He was already very old and there was no hope of entering the Tao. However, because he was very devout in his devotion to the Tao, I couldn't bear it, so I gave him a hexagram. It turned out that the hexagram showed that not only could he enter the Tao, but he could also enter the Tao. There is also hope of becoming a real person.”
"What?"
After hearing Shu Chuo's words, Kong Qing shook his fingers, and Gu Chen's sword also shook in the air, spinning like scattered fire. He turned his head and looked at Shu Chuo, with a curious look on his face. .
"Lao Shu, you said you made a fortune and the other person might even become a real person?"
Kong Qing has some understanding of Shu Chuo's divination skills. Although it is not as good as the professional magic sticks of the Divination Sect, such as people like Li Chunfeng, it is still quite good, plus some Feng Shui skills. The assistance is very reliable.
"That's right!"
Shu Chuo nodded affirmatively.
"But I'm still a little unsure, so I want to ask the chief to make sure."
"It's interesting to be able to become a real person and still be a very old person..."
Kong Qing hooked his fingers, and the Gu Chen sword in the air flew into the scabbard on his back very obediently.
"Lao Shu, bring him over and show Pindao."
"yes!"
After Shu Chuo agreed, he turned around and exited the courtyard. After a while, he came back with a very familiar old man.
"Little fairy..."
As soon as the old man saw Kong Qing, a look of surprise appeared on his face. His knees softened and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Kong Qing.
"I finally see you again, little fairy."
Kong Qing blinked...
Have you actually seen Pindao? Then why can’t Pindao remember who you are?
The next moment, Kong Qing quietly threw an identification technique at the old man.
Name: Jiang Sou (Jiang Xiaoduan)
Identity: Flutist
Age: Born in the fourth year of Tianhe in the Northern Zhou Dynasty (AD 569), he was fifty-three years old.
Past: When I was young, I entered the Sui Dynasty Jiaofang to learn flute skills. Later, I saw Zhang Bin and Jiao Zishun in the Imperial City, and I was attracted to them. I vowed to enter Taoism and practice. Later, I left the Jiaofang and tried to become apprentices everywhere.
Now: Living in seclusion in Chang'an. A month ago, he witnessed the battle between Taoist priest Qingwei and Huai Dalang and Huai Erlang. He was yearning for it. However, because he was too scared, he did not hear clearly the origin of the Taoist priest. He searched everywhere to no avail. Last night, The priest Huai Erlang asked for news and came to pay homage to him today.
Future: Meet Master Bao in Zhongnan Mountain, get a jade flute, play for three years to get a dragon ball, trade with the Dragon God of the East China Sea for a water-transforming pill, and eat it to become a narcissus.
After Jiang Sou knelt down and kowtowed, he didn't hear the little immortal's voice. He raised his head tentatively and found that the little immortal's eyes were lost in thought, as if he was thinking about something.
He didn't dare to disturb him and just knelt on the ground and waited.
A minute later, Jiang Sou finally heard the voice of the little god Kong Qing.
"Aren't you the Bi Zhuo who was sleeping beside Huai Dalang at that time?"
"The little fairy still remembers the old man..."
Jiang Sou kowtowed twice and answered without hesitation.
"That's me. I saw the heroic appearance of the little immortal that day, and I yearned for it. I wanted to become my disciple. Then I searched for more than a month and couldn't find you, the little immortal. Then last night, I went to find the Sophora japonica tree.
Erlang...I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that!"
The corner of Kong Qing's mouth twitched and he silently looked at the introduction box next to Jiang Sou.
The image of the man inside, Jiang Sou, is bowing to a big locust tree and speaking sincerely.
"A certain person has the strictest tone..."
Well, your tone is indeed very strict.
"Since you have found Pindao, it means that you and Pindao are destined..."
Kong Qing looked down at Jiang Sou who was kneeling on the ground.
"Now Pindao gives you two choices. First, you can study Taoism under Pindao. However, because you are too old, you may not be able to enter Taoism until your death. Second, you don't have to study under Pindao.
Study under his disciple, Pindao will show you a way, you may be able to turn into a narcissus without spending too long, and you will live forever, you can choose one yourself!"
As soon as Kong Qing finished speaking, he saw Jiang Sou knocking his head to the ground without hesitation.
"When I was learning to play the flute when I was a boy, my master once told me that everything is fake, and what I have learned is true. As the saying goes, if you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening. If you devote yourself to the Tao, even if you are
In the end, I was unable to enter Taoism because I was too old, and I have no regrets as an old man."
Following Jiang Sou's words, the handwriting about the future on Jiang Sou's panel in front of Kong Qing suddenly exploded.
"Um……"
Kong Qing nodded.
"Well, since you are so devout to the Tao, Pindao will not turn you away just because of your age. Now Pindao will accept you into my Quanzhen sect."
"yes!"
After hearing Kong Qing's words, Jiang Sou immediately kowtowed several times.
"Thank you, master."
"You can't call me master now..."
Kong Qing flicked his sleeves, and Jiang Sou immediately felt himself jumping up from the ground involuntarily.
"It is not that easy for me to be a disciple of Qingweizi. You are not qualified yet."
Saying that, Kong Qing turned to look at Shu Chuo.
"Lao Shu, please teach him the basic mental skills first. If he has mastered the basic mental skills in a year, you can teach him the innate skills. Otherwise..."
Shu Chuo raised his hands and saluted Kong Qing respectfully.
"Yes, thank you so much, Commander!"
After seeing Shu Chuo's actions, Jiang Sou, who was surprised and happy at the same time, also raised his hands and saluted Kong Qing in the same manner.
"Thank you so much, Commander!"
"No need..."
Kong Qing waved his sleeves, and instantly the wind blew up, rolling up Jiang Sou and Shu Chuo and placing them outside the courtyard door.
"I still have something to do, please do it yourself!"
boom!
The courtyard door automatically closed in front of Jiang Sou and Shu Chuo.
