Eight hundred and sixtieth eight chapters two elders out of the mountain
The two children completely lost their temper when they asked for popsicles. Instead, they obediently brought the popsicles to the potter's lips and let him eat them.
Perhaps for children, sharing the things they love is the best way to comfort them.
The potter calmed down for a while, touched the heads of the two children, then lowered his head and took a small bite on each of their popsicles.
Life is like this, what else can I ask for?
…
The next day, the pottery merchant went to the Taoist temple outside the city where Tao Qian and Wang Yun lived.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the Taoist temple, I saw people from all over the place coming here, and there were some young Taoist priests at the entrance distributing talisman water to the people who came here because of their admiration.
When the pottery merchant saw this, a bunch of black lines appeared on his head.
Do these two old men have any integrity?
Selling float? Are they going to show off?
The pottery merchant walked up to the two young Taoist priests and whispered: "Who asked you to sell this?"
The pottery merchant was traveling in plainclothes today, and it was not easy for ordinary people to see him on weekdays, let alone the two young Taoist priests from the Taoist temple on the outskirts of Pengcheng.
Therefore they did not know the potter.
The two young Taoist priests felt a little uncomfortable when they saw that he was talking so arrogantly. After all, their contemporary master was Yu Ji, a figure personally consecrated by Prime Minister Tao, and the two deputy contemporaries, one was Prime Minister Tao's father and the other was Prime Minister Tao.
Father-in-law.
It is said that when one person attains Taoism, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. The two little Taoist priests have been following these big shots for a long time, and they have naturally become awesome. "Who are you? You have a lot to do. You are free!" The little Taoist priest raised his head.
,horizontal.
"I can take care of everything within a three-thousand-mile radius, so I can easily manage you two." The pottery merchant said very naturally.
The two little Taoist priests looked at him with expressions full of contempt.
Where did this lunatic come from? He opened his mouth and talked nonsense.
The potter asked the two of them: "What diseases can your talisman water cure?"
A young Taoist priest showed a proud look on his face: "Fu Shui was practiced by Wang Tianshi and Tao Tianshi after they successfully overcame the tribulation and achieved great magical power. It can cure all diseases. It has the effect of bringing the dead back to life and can cure all sufferings in the world!"
Another little Taoist priest said: "It can be cured even if you can't have children. Do you want some?"
The potter's expression was a little stiff.
Overcome the tribulation? These two old guys are going to become spirits.
The pottery merchant turned to greet Pei Qian and said to him: "Find someone to come and confiscate all the things. Don't let these two old guys embarrass me here."
Pei Qian immediately took the order. He called three other members of the Pei brothers to lead the plainclothes Tiger Guards not far away to confiscate the talisman water.
When the two young Taoist priests saw this, they immediately became anxious. While they tried their best to stop the guards, they said: "Who are you and what are you going to do? Do you know whose floating water this is? It belongs to the Tao family! Believe it or not, I let me
Grandpa peeled off your skin."
Pei Qian raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who is your grandfather?"
The little Taoist priest raised his head and said triumphantly: "I'll scare you to death if I tell you. Tao Taigong and Wang Taigong are both our ancestors, and Tao Taigong's son will be the prime minister, so is Taiping Gongzi! So based on seniority,
The current prime minister is from our grandfather’s generation!”
At this time, the pottery merchant walked over and said dissatisfied to Pei Qian: "It's so slow to confiscate something? Are you copying the goods or recognizing a relative?"
Pei Qian chuckled: "I'm here to recognize my relatives for the Prime Minister... Let me introduce you, these two are your long-lost grandchildren."
…
An hour later, the pottery merchant sat in the quiet room inside the Taoist temple.
Opposite him, Wang Yun and Tao Qian sat with unhappy faces.
After a long silence, the pottery merchant finally spoke to them: "You two are really going back as you get older! When you are old, if you want to practice Taoism, then practice Taoism properly. Why are you tossing the talisman water? I didn't know that Zhang Jiao was selling this thing back then.
Did you start a business?"
Wang Yun said angrily: "You have the nerve to say that? We brothers are successful in cultivating Taoism and have developed a lot of skills. What's wrong with us wanting to use our own magic to benefit the common people? What's the point of blocking us horizontally and vertically?"
"
The pottery merchant's expression was as full of dissatisfaction as Wang Yun's: "Have a rest now. Do you really take it seriously when I praise you two as gods? In fact, they are just two magic sticks at most."
Wang Yun's words made Wang Yun so angry that his liver hurt and sparks popped up on his head.
Could it be that this little bastard came here just to piss me off?
Tao Qian closed his eyes and muttered something back and forth.
The pottery merchant looked at Tao Qian's nagging expression and couldn't help but be very curious.
"Father, what are you doing the most?"
"Disobey the Tao Te Ching." Tao Qian said calmly.
The potter frowned in confusion: "Why are you carrying that thing?"
"It's good to memorize it. If you don't memorize it, I'm afraid I'll stab you to death with a sword technique on a whim!"
Look at how this word is used...it's even a bitch.
When he was young, he saw that Tao Qian seemed to have memorized the Tao Te Ching almost completely, and the murderous intention in his heart seemed to be suppressed. Then he opened his eyes, stroking his white beard and said: "My Taoism is not enough, because of this little thing."
, I almost got angry... Lord Infinite Life!"
The pottery merchant said helplessly: "I am your biological son, but for the sake of some deception, you actually had the idea of killing me... as for that?"
"As for that?" Wang Yun said from the side: "Those superficial things contain our thousands of years of Taoism. Do you know how big a crime you have committed?"
The potter rolled his eyes.
The two of you combined are over a hundred years old, so why are you a thousand years old? Are you a living bastard?
Looking at Tao Shang's unbelieving look, Tao Qian educated him: "Tao Xing has nothing to do with age. It refers to the inner strength of the practitioner. You are an outsider, but you don't understand this.
The mystery of."
The pottery merchant sighed.
These two old guys are crazy!
"Dad, I didn't come to you this time to tell you this. Han Hao is dead, and people in Jinling City are in a state of confusion. I can't rush back to comfort you for a while... After thinking about it, you are the only one who is suitable for me.
Go back and appease the people of Jinling City!"
Tao Qian frowned, seemingly dissatisfied.
"Tell me to go back? I am an outsider. How can I get involved in your mundane things? No, no!"
The potter said anxiously: "Now that all parties in the world are in trouble and wars are breaking out, as a member of the Tao family, you should do your best! It doesn't matter how much you fool around in normal times. At this time, you must shoulder the responsibility!"
Tao Qian shook his head like a rattle: "No, absolutely not. I am a fairy, how can I get involved in your mortal war? My attack is too heavy. If I come out of the mountain, rivers of blood will flow."
Damn it!
Still bleeding like a river?
The potter was completely speechless.
When I was young, I saw the pottery merchant take a deep breath and say: "Since you don't want to go, I might as well stop you, so you can practice here...remember to pay the fine you owe the court."
The two old men were stunned for a moment.
"fine?"
"Yes, you sell floating water without a license and affect social security. Your two great-grandsons also spoke rudely to me and spread superstition... According to preliminary calculations, the total fine is 100 million yuan. Tomorrow morning I will ask Pengcheng Guo Xiang to send
When people come to collect, remember to prepare cash, no IOUs... I repeat, we only want cash, no IOUs."
