The sloppy Taoist took a pear core and planted a pear tree. Such a miraculous thing can be said to have stunned the people watching the excitement around him. Not to mention them, even Li Xiuyuan couldn't help standing up to watch when he saw it.
Extraordinarily magical.
However, for the unaware onlookers, they only thought that this sloppy Taoist was performing tricks, but in Li Xiuyuan's view, this Taoist was performing real Taoist magic.
It is not an exaggeration to call this kind of Taoist magic magic.
In the blink of an eye, the pear tree went through a cycle of reincarnation and blossomed and bore fruit.
"Okay, Taoist Master, you've done well." After a brief surprise, he quickly came back to his senses and couldn't help but applaud and praise.
Other people also expressed their praise and shouted that it was a good trick.
Some people found it unsatisfactory and hoped that the Taoist would perform another trick.
The sloppy Taoist smiled and plucked all the pears from the tree. After giving them to other people to eat, he jumped down from the tree.
The Taoist didn't say anything, but took out a small shovel as an axe, and chopped down the leafy pear tree to the ground in public.
"It's a pity. It's a pity that a good pear tree has been lost. Why did the Taoist priest cut down the pear tree? Isn't it good to keep the pear tree to bloom and bear fruit next year?" someone asked.
"You can't keep it, you can't keep it. If you keep this pear tree, it will bring disaster. It's better to cut it down."
The sloppy Taoist said with a smile: "Now that the Taoist trick has been completed, everyone has eaten their pears, so they are all gone."
After saying that, he ignored everyone, patted his butt and left.
Seeing the Taoist leave, the people watching started to disperse with some unfinished thoughts. Apparently they had not had enough of the show.
"Scholar, you gave my baby a name before. I haven't thanked you properly yet. I don't have anything to entertain you. How about inviting you to my shop for tea? I'll ask my man to make some for you.
A nice pot of tea." After seeing that the excitement was gone, Ms. Zhang next to her said enthusiastically to Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan came to his senses and said with a smile, "Thank you, no need, I still have something to do and need to go out of the city."
"Since you, scholar, have something to do, I won't delay you. Next time, scholar, you must come to my place for tea. If I don't thank you properly, I will feel really sorry." Zhang said with a smile.
.
"Okay, next time, next time I will come to your shop for tea." Li Xiuyuan nodded.
Then he looked at the sky, said goodbye to Zhang, and continued walking out of the city with his guards.
Before I had gone very far, I heard a pig-like wailing from behind: "That goddamn Taoist, you took away all the pears in my car."
Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment after hearing this voice. He looked at the fragrant pear in his hand, and then at the businessman behind him who was sitting on an empty cart and wailing.
The people watching the trick who had not yet dispersed started laughing when they saw that the merchant's cart of pears was gone.
"You are so stingy as a businessman. You even refused to give a pear to that Taoist priest before. You must have been retaliated against now."
"You deserve it. So what if I gave that person one out of a cartful of pears? He has no kindness at all."
The businessman was scolded by everyone, and because he had lost the pear, he was so embarrassed and anxious that he couldn't help but sit on the cart and cry.
"Is this pear his?" He couldn't help but wonder.
It didn't look like it, because he had seen it all the time. The pears were not taken away from the pear seller next to him through a trick, but the pears in the merchant's cart were indeed missing.
"Of course the pears don't belong to him anymore. His pears were sent back to his home by Pindao. He can see it when he gets home today. Pindao is not that stupid. He owes him a share of karma just for a cart of pears."
A slightly obscene voice sounded, but the sloppy Taoist who had disappeared from another path at some time suddenly swayed to Li Xiuyuan's side.
"When did you show up?" Li Xiuyuan was slightly surprised.
"Just now, just now."
The sloppy Taoist squinted his eyes and looked Li Xiuyuan up and down: "Not bad, not bad, really good, good looks, good posture, and strong bones. No wonder you can even hunt that black tiger. That thousand-year-old monster died in your hands."
It’s not an injustice.”
After speaking, he stretched out his dirty hands and touched Li Xiuyuan.
"Taoists must not be rude." The two guards nearby shouted and hurriedly stepped forward to stop this sloppy Taoist.
"You guys stand down."
When Li Xiuyuan saw that this sloppy Taoist actually knew about Lord Black Mountain, his expression changed slightly and he waved his hand to signal the two guards not to do anything.
The two guards immediately stopped, clasped their fists and stepped back: "Yes, young master."
"Taoist priest knows me?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
The sloppy Taoist chuckled and said, "I don't know you. It's the first day we meet today, but...hey, isn't this the bag I lost on the street last night? How come it's with you? Fate, fate, really fate,
I didn’t expect that what I lost yesterday would be encountered again today.”
After saying that, he saw the cloth bag on Li Xiuyuan's waist and reached out to grab it.
Li Xiuyuan's face darkened. When did his bag become this Taoist's? It was clearly blackmailed, no, borrowed from the red-haired ghost king.
It seems that this Taoist saw that this thing was a treasure, so he had an idea.
Immediately, he swayed and avoided the dirty palm of this sloppy Taoist.
"Taoist Priest, you made a mistake. This thing should not belong to Taoist Priest." Li Xiuyuan said.
"Well, although there are some similarities, I'm not sure yet, so why not take a look at it?" The sloppy Taoist's eyes were filled with a gleam of evil.
Li Xiuyuan thought for a moment, then took off the bag and handed it to the Taoist: "Does the Taoist know the function of this bag?"
He is not worried that this Taoist will take away his things. This thing is hot and not only has something to do with him, but also involves the ghost king of the underworld. As long as a Taoist with profound Taoism and taboo about cause and effect should know the choice.
"What, what kind of cloth bag? Why didn't Pindao see anything? Hey, do we know this scholar? Why are you staring at Pindao like this?"
The sloppy Taoist had amazing hand speed and had been single for who knows how many years. He grabbed the bag and stuffed it into his arms. Then he had a blank look on his face, as if nothing had happened just now.
Li Xiuyuan twitched the corner of his mouth and forced a smile: "Taoist Master, I really want to strangle you to death now. I think Taoist Master won't mind."
After saying that, he strode away and wanted to do something.
The sloppy Taoist laughed and jumped away: "Nephew, you are really not funny at all. I am just kidding you. Besides, I have worked hard for countless days to come to Guobeicheng to find you.
, it’s better for you, you want to strangle me to death when we meet, if you had known, you wouldn’t have come here.”
"Master's nephew?"
Hearing this title, Li Xiuyuan stopped and said, "Why do you call me nephew?"
"Pindao's senior brother is your master. I don't want to call you my nephew. Well, I forgot to introduce you. Pindao's Taoist name is Wooden Taoist. He is the younger brother of your master, Blind Taoist. Now your master is in seclusion to cultivate the golden elixir avenue.
, I won’t be able to get out for a while, senior brother is not worried about you, I just want to let Pindao go for a while.”
Mu Taoist opened his mouth and said.
"Are you my master's junior brother?" Li Xiuyuan asked in shock.
He did know that his master had a sect. He had only heard of it before, but he didn't know it clearly.
The master has never mentioned anything about his master.
Unexpectedly, this sloppy Taoist turned out to be his master's younger brother.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the sloppy Taoist who claimed to be Taoist Mu again suspiciously; "Although I don't know if it's true or not, there are indeed some similarities."
"Well, my nephew does have a discerning eye, and he can tell at a glance that Pindao is extraordinary." Taoist Mu nodded with satisfaction.
"No, it's because your obscene behavior is very similar to that of my master." Li Xiuyuan said.
"..." Mu Taoren.
Li Xiuyuan added: "Since I am a senior uncle, I can't just cheat the juniors out of my stuff when we meet. Senior uncle, you have to return my treasure. You must know that according to etiquette, the elders should give gifts to the juniors. How can an elder cheat a junior out of something?"
of."
Mu Taoren chuckled: "Do you think Pindao has anything valuable on you like this? When I was thirsty before, I couldn't even buy a pear, and I still needed charity from others. My nephew, you have many treasures on you, so be generous.
Just give this bag to my uncle at once, since it has no magical effect if it falls into your hands, it is just a waste of treasure."
After saying that, he looked at Li Xiuyuan openly. Except for the tattered Taoist robe on his body, there was really nothing there, not even the Taoist's sign or whisk.
Even the hairpin on her head was a piece of rotten wood picked up from somewhere. As for her feet, they were just a pair of tattered straw sandals that she had woven by herself.
Li Xiuyuan saw that he looked quite pitiful when he was so poor, and he really couldn't bear to get the treasure back.
If you can cultivate Taoism at this level, it will be considered a great achievement.
"Are you really my uncle?" he asked a little doubtfully.
"It's guaranteed to be replaced if it's fake," Mu Taoist said.
Li Xiuyuan said, "If you were not my uncle, you would be struck by lightning from the sky."
"My nephew, you are too harsh with your words." Mu Taoren opened his eyes wide.
Li Xiuyuan raised his head and looked at the sky. When he saw that the sky was clear, he nodded and said, "There is no thunder and lightning. It seems that you are really my uncle."
"..." Mu Taoren.
"Uncle, it's not that my nephew has a harsh mouth. I really have to be careful when I go out. If I encounter some crooked people who have plots against me, it will be bad. Monsters are easy to guard against, but people's hearts are unpredictable. Uncle
You should understand." Li Xiuyuan said.
Mu Taoren wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, forced a smile and said: "Understand, understand."
I almost yelled in my heart: "It's a good thing that I didn't sever the relationship with my senior brother last time when we quarreled, otherwise I would have been in trouble this time."
"Since we are members of our own family, the cloth bag just now is a greeting gift from my nephew to my uncle. I hope my uncle won't be offended." Li Xiuyuan said.
"Okay, okay, since you have some filial piety, my uncle will accept it without mercy." Mu Taoist became happy again.
Li Xiuyuan asked again: "May I ask my uncle, what is the use of that cloth bag? I got it by accident, and I still can't figure it out."
"Well, the bag is sewn from the skin of the ghost king of the underworld. It contains the universe and can hold a mountain. It is a rare treasure. After all, my nephew is indeed a saint in the world. I will not look down on these vulgar things. My uncle will not
I accepted it with a hesitant smile." Mu Taoist said with some joy.
Li Xiuyuan's mouth twitched, feeling that he had suffered a big loss.
