Thanks to yangzhigang, the house is not swept, and Mr. Phoenix for the reward!
Mr. Tong was still leading the way, followed by the three members of the Hu family. Zhao Ran, who was sandwiched in the middle, had a beautiful sister in palace attire beside him. It was almost dawn, and the sky was already turning white, but after a long night of hard work,
, Zhao Ran was indeed very sleepy. He forced himself to talk to the beautiful sister next to him. While inquiring about the origin of the name "Wenxiang Valley", he complained that he could not rest on the road in the middle of the night. He said that not sleeping at night went against the weather and was harmful to the skin.
Not bad, it made this beautiful sister chuckle.
The beautiful sister said, I want to know why this place is called "Smell the Fragrance Valley", it's very simple... I saw her fingers flicking, Zhao Ran suddenly felt the fragrance filling his nose, and his eyelids gradually drooped. Just before he fell asleep,
I heard the old Tong in front say angrily: "What kind of beautiful sister? The little Taoist priest is really neither good nor bad! My junior sister's surname is Zhu, well, you can call her 'Seven Aunt' from now on..."
When Zhao Ran woke up, he was still riding on the back of the old donkey, Tong Lao was still leading the way, the beautiful sister was still beside him, and the Hu family also followed behind.
"woke up?"
"Ah... um, haha, I'm sorry, I fell asleep without knowing it, making my beautiful sister, um, Qi Gu laugh." He suddenly remembered what Tong Lao had said, and he didn't feel embarrassed to call him "beautiful sister" again.
", and quickly changed the title. My lover brother is in front. Last night it was just to make a joke and liven up the atmosphere. It would be a bit disrespectful to call him that way today.
Zhu Qigu blinked at Zhao Ran, but she didn't say anything. Zhao Ran heard a chuckle in his ear: "Little Taoist priest, you can call me Qi Gu in front of others, but in private you can still call me 'Beautiful Sister'. I like it very much."
.”
Zhao Ran was overjoyed. Hearing what Zhu Qigu said, he seemed to no longer regard himself as an "outsider", so he tried to please him and pretended to sigh: "Qigu, what is your ability to transmit messages from thousands of miles away? You are really an expert, Gaoshan
I look up so high! Alas, I wonder if I will ever have the chance to learn it..."
Zhu Qigu pursed her lips and smiled: "What's the matter of transmitting messages thousands of miles away? I don't have that ability. I can only transmit messages as far as ten feet away. It's not worth mentioning."
Zhao Ran patted his leg and praised: "Qi Gu is so humble. Even if the message is not far away, for an ordinary person like me, it is still an elusive magical spell! I'm afraid I won't have to think about it in this life."
Zhu Qigu said: "It's strange that you, a little Taoist priest, have good qualifications but no foundation. I have never seen such a person."
Zhao Ran knew about his family affairs, and when Zhu Qigu pointed it out, he became even more eager. He only hoped that he would get an opportunity soon, and that the baby would show off his skills, so that he could fill this gap in his skill list.
This Zhu Qigu actually has a very cheerful temperament, which is very different from her cold and repulsive behavior last night. It feels like she comes from the era when Zhao Ran traveled through time, and there is no generation gap in her speech at all.
There was no barrier between monks and ordinary people. Not long after chatting with her, Zhao Ran completely let go.
Zhao Ran listened and gradually learned some things about Zhu Qigu. Zhu Qigu's background is quite scary. She was actually the legitimate daughter of the former Emperor Wuzong. She was born in the Zhengde period. After all, she is the current emperor.
Cousin, a dignified eldest princess!
But the eldest princess could only live in the palace for less than five years, and was taken away by the Taoist sect because of her talent in monasticism. However, the eldest princess had a nature that could not be controlled by others, so she left the Taoist sect when she grew up.
Later, he worshiped at the gate of Chuyang City and became the registered disciple of Chu Great Master Lian.
Zhu Qigu was very interested in Zhao Ran's experience of entering the Taoist sect, and urged him to tell it in detail. She laughed while listening, and occasionally praised him, which made Zhao Ran feel very comfortable. Looking at the back of the old boy in front of him, he thought to himself
This is called fate!
After passing through the valley, there was a slope full of wild flowers in front of them. Zhu Qigu said: "Have a rest!" She got off the sika deer first and walked towards the slope.
In front of Zhu Qigu, the senior fellow student, Tong Lao, he really couldn't show any majesty, and there was no trace of dignity. Zhu Qigu took a rest when he said it, and didn't discuss it with Tong Lao at all. Tong Lao had no choice but to lead him around.
When the horse came back, as soon as he got off the horse, he was instructed by Zhu Qigu to hunt some pheasants, hares and other game, but he was not allowed to idle. Tong Lao muttered a few words, but he had to lean on the shiny wooden stick.
With the stick, he went into the small woods next to the slope.
Zhao Ran had already noticed that people like Tong Lao and Zhu Qigu did not need to rest at all. In other words, the hard work of traveling all night was not enough for them to need a rest. They were doing it all for themselves and the Hu family.
He just stopped here and said gratefully: "Thank you Qi Gu for your understanding!"
Zhu Qigu waved her hand to indicate that Zhao Ran didn't need to be so particular. She found a lying boulder and sat on it. The sitting posture was quite casual, with her legs crossed side by side, one hand holding her knees, and the other hand picking wild flowers beside her.
, and kept rubbing it on his fingertips. This sitting posture was incompatible with the current customs of the Ming Dynasty, but Zhao Ran looked very friendly and almost couldn't help asking the other person whether he came from Liaodu.
Zhu Qigu whispered to her side and called Zhao Ran: "Little Taoist priest, come here and talk to your sister."
Zhao Ran hurriedly walked over and sat next to Zhu Qigu, tilting his head to admire the beautiful sister's voice and smile. He felt that everything was in line with his own aesthetics, whether it was body, appearance, identity, or background.
The choice, coupled with the extremely amiable personality, and the powerful ability that although I have never seen before, I can predict, it is simply perfect!
"Little Taoist, what are you looking at? Do I look good?"
"There are simply no words to describe it. I don't want to describe the appearance of the beautiful sister. No matter how good the words are, they are blasphemous to you. The most important thing is that I feel indescribably happy and joyful to be with you. At the same time,
It's very relaxing, just like being with your own relatives, without having to worry about anything... You are really like my sister. Although I don't have a sister, I think if I had a sister, it might be like this. Okay
I can sleep peacefully, don’t have to be afraid of the storm outside, I can speak without any scruples, and I don’t have to worry about guessing other people’s feelings...I suddenly thought of my parents who passed away..."
As soon as this family card was played, it immediately hit Zhu Qigu's weakness. She stared at Zhao Ran blankly, stretched her hand on the back of his head, then gently straightened the slightly skewed bun on his head, and said softly: "
I will be your sister from now on."
"Sister," Zhao Ranshun said, "How old are you? Why do you look younger than me?"
Zhu Qigu chuckled and slapped Zhao Ran on the forehead: "The little mouth is so sweet, I like it very much!"
Zhao Ran suddenly fell into a trance and couldn't help but ask: "Sister, did you come from time travel?"
"What?"
"It's just that, uh, how should I put it, I didn't belong to this world, but suddenly I came here..."
Zhu Qigu stared at Zhao Ran and asked curiously: "How come you have such an idea?"
"I feel like I don't belong to this world."
Zhu Qigu was stunned for a moment, then she covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Little brother, you are really good at making my sister happy, oh my, I like it so much!"
The cry of "little brother" caused Zhao Ran to have black lines all over his head.
Zhu Qigu supported her body with her arms, her long legs swaying up and down, and looked up at the sky: "Well, you are just stupid because of the Taoist scriptures. Thirty-three days away, in three thousand worlds, countless people are working hard, but I don't know how many people there are.
There are people who can go. Some people are very knowledgeable about the scriptures and seek the true secrets, but they can't escape the erosion of time and will eventually turn into dust. Some people destroy their families because of this, hoping to prove the Tao with their own strength, but they can't avoid the entanglement of cause and effect, and they end up with nothing.
After the calamity, there are ashes; there are still people who entrust things to gods in order to seek incarnation outside the body, but they inevitably lose consciousness and self-annihilation; there are even more people who take the supreme road of forgetting love, in order to cut off the cause and effect, but they don’t know that forgetting love is not ruthless, which is said to be seen through
But I really didn’t see through it... What kind of Tao are we cultivating?"
This topic is a bit heavy. Zhao Ran couldn't take it up, so he could only comfort: "Those who can become enlightened are all peerless people. How should I put it? Well, five hundred years of gestation, five hundred years of birth, five hundred years of birth, five hundred years of birth, and five hundred years of birth."
A hundred years of ascension! A little person like me is said to be an 'ant' in the Taoist scriptures, so I just want to live my hundred years well and don't have to expect too much. Well, I just care about the present. This is my Tao."
Zhu Qigu said, stroking her palms: "That's very good, just focus on the present! If you think it's good, go and get it, no matter what happens a hundred years from now!"
