Xu Dao looked at You Bing's outfit and did not speak immediately.
The other party raised his head and saw Xu Dao, and was stunned for a moment. Xu Dao stood up from the stream at the right time and bowed to the other party, "I have met Taoist friend You Bing."
Only then did You Bing react. Her expression moved slightly and she stared at Xu Dao's Taoist robe for a long time.
The man's eyes were dazed for a moment and he didn't know how to respond to Xu Dao.
The sound of the stream was gurgling. After a few breaths, she stood up and saluted Xu Dao. She bowed her head and lowered her head and said, "See you, Master Taoist disciple."
Xu Dao saw the other party's behavior, chuckled slightly, and said, "You and I are old friends, why do we need to salute like this?"
You Bing heard this, but she did not take the opportunity to make friends with Xu Dao. She had a dull expression and mumbled, but said: "My little girl still has chores to do, so I won't disturb the peace of the Taoist disciples."
After saying that, she carried the laundry, turned around and walked quickly into a bamboo forest. After a while, her body disappeared.
Xu Dao did not chase after him immediately. He looked at the direction in which the other party was leaving, with emotion in his eyes for a moment.
This woman was originally a Taoist who was arrogant and arrogant, and her level of ascetic cultivation was even higher than that of Xu Dao. However, when the critical moment came, she had to use her body to gain opportunities, but in the end she was reduced to a servant in the temple.
"The path to immortality is quite difficult." Xu Dao felt a feeling of hurting his own kind.
He thought to himself that if he had not obtained the unmarked urn, he would probably have been like the other party, or simply, he had defected and fled the mountain and was being hunted by the White Bone Temple.
"I hope she can continue to practice Qing Dynasty in the future, so that there may be a chance of being promoted to Qi Refining." Xu Dao thought in his heart. He walked out of the stream, put on his shoes and prepared to leave with the paper horse.
But his heart moved slightly, and Xu Dao suddenly walked towards the bamboo forest.
The wind blows in the bamboo forest, and the sound is as dense as sand. The fog in the forest is also misty, and the green bamboos planted in it seem to be planted among the clouds.
Xu Dao walked in and found that the feng shui of the bamboo forest in front of him was good, quiet and quiet, and it was quite suitable for building a quiet room for meditation.
Along the forest path, he walked all the way to a row of small buildings and found that a stream was led here, and the water accumulated into a pool, surrounded by windmills, workshops and other objects.
This bamboo forest has long been occupied by people. There are still many handymen walking in the forest, busy.
When Xu Dao came, the servants saluted one after another, and none of them dared to breathe. He ignored these people, called someone to ask about a certain place, and then walked to a corner of the bamboo forest.
Soon, a newly built bamboo house appeared in Xu Dao's eyes. There were many bamboo silks, cloths and other objects drying around the bamboo house, which were densely packed and surrounded the house. Some figures were busy among them.
Xu Dao led the paper horse to this point, but the other party didn't notice it yet, and was still working with his back turned. It wasn't until Xu Dao coughed lightly that the other party suddenly reacted.
"Xu, Master Taoist disciple." You Bing was slightly stunned and quickly lowered his head to salute Xu Dao.
Xu Dao returned the gift and casually tied the paper horse aside. He pointed at the bamboo house and said with a smile: "We meet old friends, why don't you invite me in for a cup of tea?"
The corners of You Bing's mouth twitched, as if she wanted to say something, but she still nodded obediently. She lowered her head to open the fence of the bamboo house, bent down and asked Xu Dao to enter.
Seeing the other party's reserved look, Xu Dao was too lazy to say anything. He just shook his head and got into the low bamboo house.
There was no table or chairs in the house, only a bamboo bed, and some sundries on the shelf by the window. Xu Dao walked in, climbed onto the bamboo bed like a stranger, and sat up cross-legged.
He didn't care about the scene in the room and said with a smile: "Long time no see? How are you doing?" After speaking, he pointed to the bamboo bed and asked You Bingpan to sit down.
When You Bing saw Xu Dao's movements, she became confused. She vaguely remembered that when the two first entered the White Bone Temple, the man in front of her also invited her to discuss Tao.
At that time, You Bing thought that Xu Dao was a smooth-tongued and social person, but later he realized that this was not the case.
Her mind sank, and she suddenly thought: "But the person in front of me has achieved qi refining and entered the immortal path, but I am still wandering in the mud."
Recalling her previous invitation to Xu Dao Dual Cultivation, and the other party's reply to her. For a moment, You Bing felt extremely ashamed, and she held it back to avoid running away through the door.
When she raised her head, she found that Xu Dao's smile was refreshing and gentle, without any abnormality. She hesitated, and finally nodded, then climbed onto the bamboo bed and sat cross-legged opposite Xu Dao.
The two sat opposite each other.
Xu Dao looked at You Bing, and suddenly found that the other person's expression was as cold and indifferent as ever, but there was a lot more tiredness in his eyebrows, and his face was even much paler.
But this pale complexion not only did not affect the other person's appearance, but instead made her more beautiful, giving rise to a feeling of endearment, which was not as cold as before.
A feeling of coveting suddenly emerged in Xu Dao's heart.
Thinking of this, he shook his head slightly to get rid of the distracting thoughts.
Xu Dao briefly described the current situation of the four people in the same room. He mentioned that Ma Pi was dead, but You Bing still had no mood swings.
It wasn't until Xu Dao began to teach the other party about his insights and experiences during the breakthrough that the other party raised his head and listened.
She stared at Xu Dao intently, with surprise in her eyes. When she encountered something she didn't understand well, she took the initiative to ask Xu Dao her questions.
For a while, Xu Dao talked eloquently.
When Xu Dao talked about the dim sky outside the window, his mouth went dry, but You Bing still looked interested and listened carefully.
Seeing this, Xu Dao was speechless. He thought for a moment, took the water and offered it to him. After taking a few sips, he began to talk about some experiences he had gained from other Taoist disciples.
It was late at night when we were talking about Tao. Outside the house, the shadows of bamboo were already swaying and the moonlight was like snow.
When the two of them could talk no more, You Bing bowed to Xu Dao and said sincerely: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for your explanation. I am deeply grateful."
Xu Dao nodded, accepted this great gift calmly, and said: "Good."
By this time, the relationship between the two had eased a lot, and it was no longer Xu Dao who took the initiative to speak. They chatted with each other for a while. Xu Dao saw that it was late at night, so he put his legs down from the bamboo bed, flexed his legs, and said, "It's time to leave.
Already."
Xu Dao met an old friend today and formed a good relationship with him on a whim. He didn't care that the good relationship was bigger, so he took out two talismans from his sleeves, put them directly on the bed, and said:
"Being busy with chores will eventually hinder your practice. Taoist friends, it is better to spend money to buy time, so that you can get rid of the chores earlier."
When You Bing heard this, his eyes were slightly startled.
The two talisman coins were exactly the amount Xu Dao had mentioned before that he wanted to lend her.
Xu Dao came here today, just to see his people reduced to such a state, and some things hurt their kind.
Moreover, although this woman has fallen into this situation today, her future is unknown. Xu Dao can just help her in times of need and form a good relationship with her.
It comes when it rises, and it returns when it goes away.
Xu Dao bowed to You Bing, and Shi Shiran was about to go out and continue looking for his Feng Shui treasure.
"Wait a minute, fellow Taoist." When You Bing heard his words, she stood up suddenly. She walked quickly to the door and blocked Xu Dao.
Xu Dao was slightly stunned: "Is there anything else?"
You Bing turned around and silently closed the door. After a pause, she gave Xu Dao a long bow and raised her head to expose her neck.
The woman said softly: "There is no way I can repay my Taoist friends for their kindness... Please serve me as my concubine and repay your Taoist gifts."
Xu Dao looked over and suddenly felt that the moonlight outside the house was bright and white, but the female path inside the house was even brighter...
