Volume 1 Chapter 19 Old Taoist Priest
A big river crosses north and south, and walks down the river. The water gradually slows down, and a tributary forms a lake. The lake feeds a fisherman, and over time, it gradually becomes a small village. There is a back mountain ten miles north of the small village.
A Taoist temple. The Taoist temple is not big. The fishermen who come and go only know that there is an old Taoist priest living in seclusion in the mountains and forests. Usually, there is something big and small in the village that will go to the Taoist temple to let the old Taoist priest talk about it. After all, the older generation said that this is an immortal.
An old Taoist priest outside the Taoist temple was watering the vegetable field. When he heard a young man in the village running over here panting, he handed the young man saliva with a smile. The young man brought the tea bowl into his mouth and drank it halfway through his drink.
The old Taoist priest smiled and helped the young man on the back. The old Taoist priest looked at the young man who was still a little anxious with a smile, and said slowly: "Speak slowly, don't be anxious."
"Old fairy, today the old Zheng family's wife was washing clothes by the lake. She floated over from the upstream. When she got close, she found that she was a child, and there were dozens of carp underneath. The carp sent the child to the Zheng family's wife.
She wandered in front of her, and she quickly picked up the child. The village chief said that this child was not an ordinary person, so he asked me to come to see the old god, so he would come to invite the old god." The young man calmed down his breath,
Only then did I make the matter clear.
The old Taoist priest's eyes changed, and then he said with a smile: "This is a matter, then I'll go with you to see." Along the way, the old Taoist priest asked the young people about the characteristics of the children and listened to the
The young man nodded, and the suspicion in his heart turned into some expectations. It seemed that it was not a plan made by the official family who came to search for immortals and asked the Tao, but I just didn't know what kind of child they would be?
When the old Taoist priest saw this pink and tender child, a trace of shock flashed across his face. He looked around the kind and simple villagers around him, reached out and tapped the child's head twice, a small magic array.
The old Taoist priest slowly unfolded his hand. The villagers looked at the old god who was nodding frequently with his eyes closed, and they were anxious to go forward and ask, but the old village chief next to them reached out and stopped him.
That magic array was actually a cover magic array, and he still wanted to keep the village away from those trivial matters of immortals. The old Taoist priest originally wanted to check the child's qualifications, and then he gently confirmed that he had read it wrong before. This child
The physical condition is simply born for cultivation. However, looking at the calmness and curiosity in the child's eyes, the old Taoist priest wanted to take a closer look at the child, but saw the anger and disdain in the child's eyes. The old Taoist priest covered the side of his eyes.
The voice, curious, said: "I won't harm you, I just want to confirm your qualifications more carefully. Let's relax."
Looking at the child whose eyes became calm, the old Taoist priest smiled and pointed his finger on the child's forehead. After a careful examination, he confirmed that the child was not a special bloodline and breathed a sigh of relief. The old Taoist priest had inherited the bloodline before.
The man had dealt with him, but he felt that the other party's family was a group of lunatics. He finally avoided that family. Now he should not be involved with any family. The old Taoist priest confirmed it again and watched the child move to take the disciple.
Xin asked, "If I accept you as my apprentice, would you like?" Looking at the disdain in the child's eyes, the old Taoist priest laughed and didn't care. However, looking at the child in front of him, he looked at the method again
The villagers outside the formation, the old Taoist priest, thought to have a change of heart, and decided to take the child away.
The old Taoist priest took back the magic circle and looked at the anxious villagers beside him and said happily: "This is a good seedling. I want to send him to the Taoist temple to inherit my magic skills. It's a pity, he
I don't seem to like me very much."
"The old god is so powerful, doesn't this kid like you?" A teenager looked at the child in the vegetable basket and asked in disbelief.
The old Taoist priest touched the boy's head and said with a smile: "This child is even more powerful than me. You must know that there are mountains outside the mountain and people outside. Moreover, the old Taoist priest pays attention to the satisfaction of his practice. If you don't want it, then don't want it!"
"Village Chief, I'm going to take this child to the Taoist temple to live. It's a good seedling. You can't let these stinky kids take it out." The old Taoist looked back at the familiar old man beside him and carried the child in the vegetable basket out.
He looked at the group of half of the children who wanted to come and take a look, and joked that he had his request to the old man.
"Old fairy, we just want to see what the children look like?"
"Yes, old fairy, my mother said this kid is so beautiful. I haven't seen fish catching in the river before?"
"Old immortal, let's show us?"
“…”
"A bunch of brats, don't make a fuss in front of the old gods, and don't know how to follow the old gods to learn some words?" The village chief pulled away the gang of troubled little ghosts, looked at the old Taoist priest and said slowly: "Old god, you want to take it away."
Just take it away. This kid is not a fisherman at first glance. What does it mean to stay in the village?"
The old Taoist priest laughed and took the fruits and vegetables sent by the villagers along the way, and told a few stories with a few little kids. Then he slowly returned to the Taoist temple.
After returning to the Taoist temple, the old Taoist priest sighed. He said that he would no longer care about the affairs of the immortal family, so why couldn't he hold back? Just looking at this piece of uncensored jade, the old Taoist priest was worried about whether he would affect the child.
The child looked at the Taoist temple curiously in his cradle. The old Taoist priest smiled and reached out to touch the child's fingers, and said softly: "What kind of immortal is you reincarnated or descendant of gods, in my Taoist temple, you are just a little
Child. This is the promise I can give you.”
The child's eyes were a little calm, and then he stretched out his little finger. The old Taoist priest looked at this scene, sat on the steps and laughed loudly, then stretched out his little finger and touched the child's little finger.
The daily life of the old Taoist priest has changed a little. People come to the Taoist temple where there are no people every now and then, or they will be a few and a half-aged children talking and watching the children clamor in the Taoist temple. The old Taoist priests are all smiling.
In response, he knew that the villagers were just a little curious and did not explain more.
But those little brats always wanted to pinch the child's face. The old Taoist priest looked at the anger in the child's eyes, smiled and pulled away the half-large child who was stretching out his hand, and sat there and told them some stories of gods and ghosts.
The older children had enough trouble, but they hurriedly ran home when it was almost dark. The old Taoist priest was in the air watching the stinky brats running back home, and then they were beaten by their own mother pressing their butts and flying with a smile
Return to the Taoist temple.
The old Taoist priest looked at the child who was still angry in the cradle and smiled and said, "Those kids have no malice, why are you angry?" Seeing the child looking at him angrily, the old Taoist priest smiled and said,
: "Yes, the old Taoist uses his own standards to restrict you, but the old Taoist is wrong."
At night, the old Taoist priest set up a strange formation next to the child. Seeing the smell of a little smell on the child dissipated, he wiped the sweat from his head and went back to the house to sleep. He brought the child back to the child's house.
One night, the old Taoist priest killed many things because of the gloomy things that the children gathered around, and was forced to sit by the child for a night. Fortunately, no accident happened.
The child is getting older and can slowly speak, but the child does not like to speak very much. He occasionally says thank you. He always stares at his hands while sitting on the table. The little kids often come over to see
However, the old Taoist priest always sent them away in advance, so he had no chance to tease the children on the table.
People often bring some food in the village. After asking the old Taoist priest that the little guy likes the fish in the village very much, the young people in the village were a little excited and sent fish to the Taoist temple for several days. The old Taoist priest was so scared that he hurriedly
Explain that the little guy has not such a big appetite, so everyone doesn’t have to do this. These innocent villagers no longer deliver food so frequently.
Days passed day by day, and the old Taoist priest quit his leave to the village chief by counting time and went out to foster the child at the village chief's house. The little kids were happy and ran to the village chief's house every day, teasing the baby with his teeth and claws, and then being left
The village chief who came over stood in front of the house with a crutch. The village chief looked at the child with clear eyes in front of him, shook his head, and then walked out of the house with a sigh.
The old Taoist priest walked for seven or eight days and was a little embarrassed when he came back. The Taoist robe seemed to have been gnawed by some wild beast. The villagers asked a few questions, and listened to the old Taoist priest saying that it was just a trivial matter, and looked at him.
The villagers were relieved to feel a smile on their face.
The old Taoist priest took the child back to the Taoist temple. The child looked at the old Taoist priest who was carving a strange formation on the ground curiously. Hearing the old Taoist smirk, he explained: "I originally wanted to calculate your birthday, but the old Taoist priest was not enough to deduce it.
Fortunately, the old Taoist has learned to identify bone age, and finally figured out the age of you, a little guy. Fortunately, the old Taoist I learned a lot of things, so I can't let you lose some foundation as a seedling."
The old Taoist priest carved the magic circle for a long time, and the range of the magic circle gradually grew larger, and finally covered the entire Taoist temple. The child looked at the hard-working old Taoist priest and opened his mouth for a long time and said softly: "Thank you, but you
It really doesn't have to."
The old Taoist priest laughed and looked at the child who said a few more words and said, "I practiced well, so I want to do this. If you don't want to, then I can stop. But you are actually in your heart.
Like it very much, don't you?"
The child just nodded and said softly: "Thank you."
The old Taoist priest wanted to reach out, and then thought of something to retract his right hand. He looked at the child with clear eyes in front of him and said, "Little kid, do you have your own name?"
The child looked at the sky in the distance, looked at his small hands again, and sighed. The old Taoist priest was still smiling, preparing to help the little kid complete this baptism, but he heard a voice coming from behind: "Ling
Qi, Lingbo's Ling, enlightenment of enlightenment."
