Chapter 337 The Story of Flying Sword - The sound is sealed and put into the box
There was no master who could turn reed leaves into flying knives and break wooden oars. Among the people known to the leader of the village, there was no such master. He knew that he was no match and stopped the boat without pursuing him. Lu Dongbin and Xu Lansheng stopped the boat in a deserted place and docked.
He pointed his hand at the boat and it transformed into a lotus leaf. The apprentice was too young and staggered. Five steps were equivalent to one step for him. This speed was too slow. He asked the young apprentice to sit on his neck and quickly
The ground moves forward on the embankment.
The Taoist priest was speeding outside the city with a child on his back. This strange behavior attracted the attention of passers-by. Moreover, the news that the son of the Xu Shan family had been kidnapped by the kidnappers had spread. The government had posted a portrait of Xu Lansheng, and
A reward was given, and anyone who reported accurate information would be rewarded fifty taels of silver. Some people looked sideways and recognized it, and it was very similar to the image hanging at the city gate.
County Magistrate Chen has been supervising work, teaching and educating people in Tongjiang Academy these days. This is the career he attaches most importance to in his life. Today, it is the third time that he has received news. The first two times said that Xu Lansheng was killed by two people in the county.
He was kidnapped by a gangster. This time it was a Taoist priest. Every report he made was accurate, describing the child's appearance and clothing. Xu Shan donated a total of more than 30,000 taels to the academy. He was the largest benefactor of the academy and treasured his wealth.
The basket was robbed by Shangguan because of this incident. The county magistrate was filled with guilt for the Xu family. Hearing that his son had been kidnapped by gangsters, he took it very seriously. However, he only had more than 20 government officials, and they usually handled one small case.
But if you want to attack the gangsters, it's definitely a risk, but you can't ignore it. Today, three pieces of news came in at once, each of which was different and credible, leaving the county magistrate at a loss as to what to do.
The academy is a century-old project that cannot be stopped. Even if we spend an extra thousand taels of silver and build one less classroom, we still have to redeem Xu Shan’s children. The county magistrate secretly gave the price in his heart. But who owns this child?
I haven't figured this out yet, so I can't find a way to rescue him.
"Where Are the Hostages"
little baby, trace disappears,
Black-hearted bandits, taking hostages,
He was kidnapped by the fierce bandit Gu Ye.
It was also said that the village owner Ma Ye had robbed him.
The last crazy Taoist,
Carrying a baby across the creek.
Rumors spread and the truth is hard to find out,
Where is the baby looking for its origin?
The guest asked: "If you use money to redeem it, why don't you send troops to rescue it?"
"Whether the Song Dynasty is like the Liao Dynasty, Xixia Dynasty, or the Jin Dynasty, it is a yearly currency. Even if the imperial court is like this, the government is naturally affected by the policy of emphasizing civility over military affairs. When encountering problems, if they can be solved with money, they will never use troops." Jin Huabin
He lamented: "This is just like today's world. No matter how developed the economy is, if you don't have military strength, you will be bullied by others. The people are suffering because of the military. They just want economic status."
After sighing for a while, Jin Huabin continued to tell his story. Lu Dongbin was shocked and frightened when he saw everyone looking at him strangely. He counted with his fingers and found out. He originally wanted to wait until he was ten years old to officially
Accepting a disciple must now be nine years in advance. Parents will be worried if they take away their son, so it is necessary to inform them. Lu Dongbin found a willow tree, picked a large bundle of willow branches from the tree, and woven it carefully into a
In the shape of a big bird, he wove a small square box out of thin willow branches. After weaving it, Lu Dongbin said to Xu Lansheng: "Disciple, after leaving a message to your parents, go to the mountains to practice with your master.
."
After Baby Zun Ling muttered hoarsely to the wicker box, the Taoist pointed to the bird pierced with wicker and recited Taishang Laojun's urgent command, and the bird flapped its wings and flew up with the wicker box in its mouth.
The willow branches were moving without wind, brushing against the Taoist's face, as if he wanted to say something. The Taoist chuckled and said, "I won't use your willow branches in vain." After saying this, he blew at the roots of the willow tree, and the willow tree trembled.
He shivered and seemed to feel a lot more energetic.
"Willow Spirit"
Taoist family, rest by the river,
The old willow tree provides thick shade.
Walking alone, sitting alone,
The infinite world does not know me.
Only the willow spirit in the south of the city,
I clearly know that the gods have passed by.
Receive a mouthful of immortal magic,
It’s worth ten years of hard work.
The willow branches swayed like thousands of dancing girls with waists as thin as willows, performing a dance for the distinguished guests. Dong Bin sighed secretly, this willow tree spirit has lived in vain for a thousand years, and his six roots are still unclean.
Instead of understanding Taoist purity and inaction, you learned the art of flattery in the world. Instead of cultivating immortal roots, you cultivated human essence instead. Your future ending will be extremely pitiful. Sure enough, decades later, the willow tree was dug up by a rich man.
, was planted in my own back garden, and the roots were damaged and the branches were pruned. It damaged hundreds of years of cultivation and was unable to cultivate an immortal body. This is a story for later.
The disciple was just one year old and could not yet understand the magical method of the immortal family. Lu Dongbin gave him an elixir and fed it to him. He also taught him some basic breathing skills and guided him to slowly turn the elixir.
After resting under the willow tree for a day, Xu Lansheng only felt the pulse in his chest, as if he had endless energy. The two of them, one old and one young, walked towards the mountains. Xu Lansheng jumped up and down, and Lu Dongbin took a step forward.
Jump three times. The big one walks slowly in front, and the small one follows quickly. After a short pause, he overtakes the front.
In Tongjiang Academy, Xu Shan accompanied Magistrate Chen to inquire about his son. Suddenly, there were several bird calls in the sky. The sounds were strange and unusual. Magistrate Chen looked up and saw a big green bird.
It flew down and stopped on the desk. If you look closely, you can see that the feathers are green willow leaves. Seeing this strange thing, County Magistrate Chen hurriedly asked: "Is there any news about the missing baby of Xianqin?"
The strange bird chirped a few times and put down the wicker box with a peach wood sword stuck on it. Xu Shan and his wife remembered the gift the Taoist priest had given him during the full moon, and hurried over to open the box. As soon as they opened it, a milky sound came from the box.
The voice said: "Mom and Dad, Taoist Master Lu rescued me from the robbers. The child now worships the Taoist Master as his teacher and goes to practice in the mountains. In fifteen years, he will come back to repay his parents for their kindness in raising me."
Their son was fine, and Xu Shan and his wife immediately burst into tears. The wicker tree turned into a bird and conveyed the good news, which preserved the cultural heritage of our academy. County Magistrate Chen and Dean Fang set up an incense burner and looked south to worship, thanking the immortal family for their blessing.
Hearing this, the guest shouted: "Isn't this the ancient version of the tape recorder? It's a bird transformed from a wicker, and it's recorded in a willow box. Boss, are there any good dishes to go with the good stories?"
"Of course, this dish seems very common, but it is very magical." Jin Huabin served a piece of fried fungus.
"Poppy, Shunfeng Fungus"
The sky has spirit and the wood has ears. Decay turns into magic. Things have the same origin as Ganoderma lucidum, which takes away the essence of plants and trees and feeds you.
Use mountain spring water for soaking. Cut green onions into sections. Stir garlic into minced meat. Stir-fry until fragrant and fragrant. Serve guests.
Although Taoist recipes do not contain meat, they are designed to be light and healthy, and at the same time the color is pleasing to the eye and the taste is light. It is not like ordinary home-cooked dishes, which are heavy on oil and heavy on taste.
While tasting the food, Jin Huabin continued the story: "Xu Shan and his wife were extremely grateful. They vaguely remembered the Taoist's appearance and asked a skilled craftsman to carve it out. They enshrined it at home and prayed every day, hoping to meet their son soon."
