Chapter 689: There is a young Taoist priest in the mountains
Autumn is gradually approaching.
Half of the four seasons of the year have passed by now, just like a person's life, after middle age, has gradually entered old age.
It's just that autumn is about to come, and the people are finally waiting for the last time. This year is a good year. No matter how big things happen in the world, in the eyes of these people, as long as the harvest this year is good, they can survive in the coming year.
, is the best thing.
Many of the medicinal herbs in the Infatuated Mind Concept are now almost at maturity.
The monks outside the country grow elixirs to make elixirs. Except for some high-grade elixirs that take ten or twenty years to mature, the rest of the ordinary herbs can be harvested in about two or three years. If they are planted every year, they will naturally be harvested every year.
reward.
The disciples responsible for collecting medicinal herbs are often those who have just been on the mountain. They need to be familiar with everything in the Infatuated Mind Concept. In the first few years, they have to bear the responsibility????????????????
Responsible for all the food and clothing expenses of the other disciples on the mountain, as well as the distribution of elixirs.
After a few years, those with outstanding qualifications will be taken back to the cave by their respective teachers to be educated. They will achieve success in the future and truly enter the palace.
It has been three years since Yu Lu went up the mountain. This young Taoist priest has some bad luck.
The Chixinguan Taoist who accepted him as a disciple and took him up the mountain was not taken seriously at all. Among the second-generation disciples, his qualifications were mediocre. It took him a lifetime to reach the realm of the sea of suffering. After that, he became old and frail, and his realm dropped.
As time went by, he grew old. The old Taoist priest took pity on him and instructed him to go down the mountain to find a disciple to inherit the mantle. The old Taoist priest had average vision and was running out of time, so he quickly brought a disciple with him.
When a young man goes up the mountain, it is Yulu.
After Yu Lu went up the mountain, the old Taoist priest quickly drove to Hexi. Chixin Guan also pays attention to orderly inheritance. Without his master, the young Taoist priest was naturally bullied in the mountain, so he has been responsible for these chores in the mountain.
, even if after these few years, he should be taken away by his master, there is no possibility, so Yu Lu can only deal with these things all the time. In fact, if nothing happens, there is almost no chance of him turning around in this life.
Because you are at the bottom and have no access to any mysterious Taoism, and there are no famous teachers to guide you, so after all, the possibility of turning around is very slim.
But no one is willing to stay at the bottom all his life, not to mention that Yu Lu has become a disciple of Chixin Guan. No one in such a sect can get involved in his life. Now that he is in it, he must work hard to climb up.
reason.
But there was no chance, so Yu Lu had to wait for the opportunity, dormant in silence. Finally, a few days ago, the young Taoist priest got an opportunity.
That day, he was inspecting the medicinal fields in the mountains as usual, but he saw a green cow sneaking into the medicinal fields and munching on the herbs.
If it were any other disciple, he would have reported it to the steward at that time, but if it was Yu Lu, he keenly remembered one thing. It belonged to the former master in charge and now the master of the temple.
He once went out into the mountains and tamed a strange beast as a mount, which was a green bull.
Thinking of this, Yu Lu not only did not report it, but even took the initiative to cover up the matter for Qing Niu. In the days that followed, Yu Lu often even brought some herbs to the Qing Niu, going back and forth, one person and one cow.
Even if we have some friendship.
That day, Yu Lu picked a bag of medicinal fruits in the medicine field and went to look for the green cow.
Yu Lu is very skilled in picking medicinal fruits. He never picks all the medicinal fruits on a single herb, but only picks the ones with knots and several medicinal fruits.
???????One or two, this way, they will hardly be discovered.
Taking the medicine and fruit, Yu Lu walked to the agreed place. He was careful. He had done this many times, but he was extremely cautious every time. This kind of thing was a gamble with his life every time. Once he was discovered,
Once, judging from his lack of status in the temple, at the very least he would be deprived of his cultivation and driven down the mountain. As for the more serious matter, he would be imprisoned in a prison or even be beaten to death on the spot.
impossible.
"Master Niu?"
Yu Lu quickly spoke and called out to the green bull.
Even after calling several times but getting no response, Yu Lu became a little nervous.
Start looking for traces of the green cow nearby.
"You stepped on this real person."
Suddenly a voice came, the ground suddenly moved, and a green cow came out from under his feet.
It's the green cow.
Yu Lu apologized repeatedly, "Don't blame Master Niu. It's because the disciple was blind and didn't see the real person..."
Qingniu was not one to hold grudges, and quickly shook his head, "That's all, let's see what we brought today."
Yu Lu quickly poured out all the medicinal fruits and placed them respectfully in front of Qing Niu.
Qing Niu took one look at it, nodded with satisfaction and said, "You have a good sense. These fruits are among the treasures."
Yu Lu stood on one side and said with an apologetic smile: "The real person wants to eat, how can I dare to neglect him?"
Qing Niu nodded, rolled up a medicinal fruit with his tongue, and ate it happily. At the same time, he said vaguely: "Since you... are guarding the medicinal field, why don't you take some yourself? If you really eat some, your cultivation will be more than
This way, I won’t be bullied by others.”
Yu Lu smiled bitterly and said: "How dare you do this?
Once these things are discovered, I will be demoted down the mountain and it will be a trivial matter. Who can go and find those fruits for the real person?"
"You're a little Taoist priest, you don't have much ability, but you have a sweet mouth."
Qing Niu glanced at Yu Lu, with an undisguised look of satisfaction in his eyes.
Yu Lu said softly: "It is a disciple's honor to work for real people."
"Well, my original intention was to introduce you to the real person, but then I thought about it, if you serve the real person like you are now, where will the real person find these things to eat in the future?"
Qingniu shook his head, somewhat reluctantly.
Yu Lu was startled and said quickly: "You really are so confused!"
"Um?"
The green cow's nose was breathing heavily.
"Master, if the disciple is lucky enough to serve the master of the temple, wouldn't it be useful to speak in the temple later? When the time comes, in the medicine field, will there be anyone who dares to violate it?
What do you mean, disciple? Isn’t it easier for real people to eat as much as they want then than it is now?”
Yu Lu spoke carefully, and while speaking, he observed the expression of the green bull.
Qingniu thought for a while and found that what Yu Lu said made sense. It thought for a moment and said, "I really haven't thought clearly. What you said makes sense."
Yu Lu smiled and said: "From now on, I will serve on the side of the master. If the real person conflicts with the master, the disciple can help to correct the situation and speak for the master."
Qing Niu was still hesitant at first, but after hearing this, he nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, the real person often scolds me, so you can speak for me when the time comes."
Yu Lu smiled and said: "This disciple has not made any progress in his cultivation over the years. He just has some ability to observe words and emotions, which is pretty good. I will definitely be able to help the real person in time."
Qingniu finished the last medicinal fruit, no longer hesitated, and said with a smile: "In that case, you will go to see the real person today with me, but I can't say whether you can let the real person keep you."
"That's natural. If a real person can recommend a disciple, the disciple will already burst into tears of gratitude. If it doesn't work, the disciple will just return to the medicine field and work for the real person again."
Yu Lu spoke repeatedly, his voice extremely sincere.
Qingniu smiled and said, "Then just follow me."
It was already very satisfied with what Yu Lu saw before it, and it was also looking forward to what Yu Lu said next.
As he led Yu Lu towards the back mountain, Qing Niu couldn't help but tell him: "You have been going up the mountain for many years, so you should know the etiquette. Don't panic when you meet the real person later."
"Disciple, please don't worry."
Yu Lu nodded and smiled, naturally he knew what was going on.
