Chapter 183 Do you know those immortals and experts?
"Life on the mountain is really short, and life only lasts a hundred years. If we can't achieve enlightenment, even if we practice Yin and Yang spiritual methods, we will probably live more than a hundred years, right?
"In a hundred years, I wonder how many times we can see each other again?
"I don't want to say much else. I've said enough about our relationship over the past few years. I just want to thank my senior brother for his teaching and care.
"I know that senior brother has no intention of fighting, nor does he mean to hurt anyone. It's just that although senior brother majors in medical skills and has the heart to help the world and save the people, there are many stupid people in the world, and not everyone can recognize senior brother's skills. Junior brother happens to have an interesting skill
The spell does not hurt people, and just like the wind, it can show the Taoist behavior with just a raise of the hands and feet, making people know that the senior brother is the true Taoist, not a charlatan.
"It's called urging you to frown.
"There is also a sound transmission technique. After practicing it, senior brother, it will be much easier to avoid asking and informing others about your condition.
"There is also a fossil method, which can save your life if you are in danger.
"It's all attached below.
"Take care."
Under a tree outside the city, the Taoist was carrying a medical box and leaning on a wooden stick beside him, reading the letter carefully.
The following three volumes contain dense writing.
"well……"
The fifth brother put it at the bottom of the medical box.
Then he stood up with his wooden staff and looked up. He saw that there were roads and small roads in all directions. The vastness of the world and the difficulty of people's livelihood could only be measured with these feet.
…
The bells of the donkey and horse kept ringing.
The junior sister hung the bell she had bought on the neck of Third Brother's horse, and the ecstasy bell on the neck of the paper donkey. Although this brass bell looked old, the sound when it was shaken was even louder than the original one.
A little lighter and more melodious.
At this time, she picked up another forked branch, punched one end on the ground, and pushed it away like a cart.
Lin Jue walked beside her.
The cart next to it was pulled by a horse. In addition to the luggage of several people, it also contained a lot of bacon, pickled fish, eggs, duck eggs, chickens, ducks and fruits. They were all gifts from the people of Cuiwei when they left the city. The scene at that time was really lively.
It will be unforgettable in this life.
With this, I don’t have to buy food on the road these days.
Not only do I not have to buy food, I even dare not buy food, because I have to get rid of these things quickly, otherwise the weather will not last long.
The weather is also good.
It's just that it's not cold at night.
As long as it doesn't rain, you don't need to find a place to stay, you can just lie down and sleep anywhere.
Therefore, if a few people happened to encounter a village inn, they would pay money to sleep on a bed. If they didn't find one, they would sleep in the wilderness on the roadside. They would just find a slightly higher place to light a lamp, without even keeping a vigil.
This lamp is really useful.
As long as you are within the range of the light when it is lit, it will seem to remember you. Within the range of the light, depending on the terrain and weather, it is about a few feet to ten feet away. Whenever a stranger enters, it will burst into flames.
As a reminder.
The same goes for monsters.
Although I stayed in Cuiwei for a few months, I gained a lot.
This lamp was just an unexpected blessing. In addition to it, the rich people in Cuiwei City were also suffering from the plague. After being cured, many of them sincerely gave silver, and the silver-eating ghosts never suffered from hunger.
I got about ten Lingyuan Pills and a few taels of Taoist merit.
There is also an extra page in the ancient book on body-fixing techniques.
It can be said that the harvest was abundant.
Keep going.
When you see a river, you go to wash up. When you feel sleepy, you find the shade of a tree to rest. When the scenery is nice, you enjoy the scenery. When the storm comes, you take shelter. When you get lazy, you sleep for half a day. If you are in a good mood, you can walk an extra twenty miles, and you can travel on a starry night.
Stop and chat, chat and laugh, the journey is long but short.
"What year is it now?"
"Three years of Qingrui."
"Said that there are still more than ten years left in this world..."
"Whatever, the new dynasty is not necessarily worse than this time, nor is it necessarily better than this time. It is said that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, but if it rises and falls, the people will suffer, and if it falls, the people will also suffer..."
The third senior brother said as he walked: "Master Tao, just drink and enjoy yourself, and live a good life for more than a hundred years."
"Wouldn't it be better if all of our brothers and sisters could achieve enlightenment?"
"Who wouldn't want to attain the Tao and become an immortal? But how can it be that easy? If you can't get it, it's better to recognize it quickly." The third senior brother said, "What's more, after achieving the Tao, although the life span is long, there will be disasters. In fact,
You may not be able to survive a few tribulations, and you still have to worry, worry, worry, worry about overcoming the tribulation..."
"rational."
"There is a tea stall ahead. It looks quite big. Do you think they sell wine?"
"There is a wine shop selling drinks, but it's time to go there and ask for directions and buy some tea."
Lin Jue should go there first.
This tea stall is indeed not small, with more than a dozen tables and chairs. Because the location seems to be at the three-way intersection of the official road leading to the three counties, and the distance is exactly the middle point, many people choose to stop here and rest.
There are both business travelers and official knights.
When I saw five Taoists approaching, bringing with them a fox, a cat, a few chickens and ducks, I couldn't help but look at them.
"Shop, do you have wine for sale?"
"The small shop sells tea, not wine, but also some food."
"Then I'll bring you six bowls of tea and buy ten pounds of fodder. I want the good stuff with beans added to it."
Lin Jue looked up and saw the ancient yellow sand road. The sun was blazing. There were tea sheds on the roadside to provide shade. It was really a good place to stop and rest. He made a decision and asked by the way:
"Which way to go to Mingxia County?"
"When you go out, go to the left and take the left path."
"Thank you."
The five Taoists sat down.
The fox also sat at Lin Jue's feet.
People were coming and going in front of me, there were noisy sounds all around, the sound of tea making was coming from the side, the wind and sand blew together, and the atmosphere was full of rivers and lakes.
Lin Jue watched the waiter make tea.
These days, everything is added to tea, including plums, orange peels, mints, salt, candies, etc. Some also add green onion, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and even pepper. Roadside shops like this are not so particular, but they also add salt. This is a trader.
It is an indispensable thing for travelers, and the other thing is to put whatever you have.
It's mostly cool in summer and hot in winter.
Although it doesn’t sound like much, a bowl of clean water is a rare thing during a trip.
Not everyone is as strong as the Jianghu people, and not everyone is like the Taoist. They follow the Tao and follow the Tao. Mountain springs are fine, but drinking water from rivers and streams can easily ruin your stomach.
In addition, if it is winter, you can sit by the fire and warm yourself, add a steamed pancake and a bowl of hot tea with onion, ginger and salt, which can not only replenish your physical strength, but also be a rare enjoyment during the journey.
.
Not long after, six bowls of tea arrived.
The tea soup looks red, but in fact there is no black tea at this time, it is the color of the spices in it.
Lin Jue brought a big bowl with him, put the bowl on the bench, poured a bowl of tea into it, gave it to the fox and the raccoon, and ignored them, drinking tea and resting on his own.
There were many voices of discussion nearby, accompanied by the wind and sand, reaching my ears.
Nowadays, there are only a few major events on this road. As a person walking on the road, what I am most concerned about is naturally the dangers on the road.
The plague ahead is the most terrifying danger.
Lin Jue heard several tables talking about the plague in Cuiwei and Liuyun County. Maybe because they were a little far away, many people talked about it in extremely mysterious terms.
"It is said that before the plagues of Cuiwei and Liuyun appeared, some merchants were walking on the road and met a group of Taoists. The group of Taoists didn't know what was going on or where they came from. They kept asking people about the county ahead of them.
Whether there was a plague, but the plague hadn’t started yet at that time, I don’t know how they could have predicted it.”
This word came from several businessmen at the table on the left.
They were holding a few meat-filled steamed buns and drinking tea. It was probably a table shared by several people, chatting with each other.
"Now that the plague in Cuiwei and Liuyun has passed, it is said that the people who cured the plague were a group of Taoist priests. They all said that it was gods descending to the earth. It is probably those Taoist priests."
Lin Jue peeled the eggs silently.
After peeling one off, he handed it to Fuyao first, and the second one was his own.
The eggs were a bit choking to eat, especially the yolk, which couldn't be swallowed without water. However, when paired with this bowl of tea, after the yolk was dissolved, it actually had a strange taste and was quite smooth.
The little junior sister opposite him was just like him, except she was peeled off by Cai Li.
"To talk about Cuiwei and Liuyun, I met a group of bodyguards on the road a few days ago. I heard from that group of bodyguards that just three months ago, on the road to Cuiwei and Liuyun, they saw someone
The figures in Buddhist robes walked on the treetops on the top of the mountain, as if they were flying."
"Not only that! I was there during that time, and I also saw a Taoist riding a horse. The horse ran very fast! One step was several feet away, like a Pegasus! It was also going in the direction of Cuiwei Liuyun!"
"You said..."
These are some charlatans on the table on the right.
If you write down a few paragraphs of these words and record them in those words, I'm afraid it won't be inconsistent at all.
"Alas, the plague comes from heaven, and humans can't control it. Gods have to control it. I'm afraid this world won't last long."
"Some people say that this plague is a sign from heaven..."
"Who says it's not the case? Just last month, someone asked Empress Yaohua about this matter in Qinzhou, and Empress Yaohua's answer was, 'It depends on the clothes you wear.' This is already obvious."
Lin Jue was listening silently, but when he heard the words "Empress Yaohua", he turned his head instantly and looked at the table behind him.
Almost at the same time, several senior brothers also turned their heads to look.
Only Caili was chewing on the egg yolk. The fox didn't know what they meant, but when he saw Lin Jue turning his head, he also turned his head and followed Lin Jue with a puzzled look on his face.
Behind him is a table of people dressed as literati.
"Brother Wang, what do you mean?"
"Brother Ji doesn't think he often understands these kinds of divine omens. Please note that nowadays the shape of clothes is that the top is long and the bottom is short. At the same time, when it is cold, five or six tops are worn and only one or two bottoms are worn. This
It is a sign that there is wealth and luxury at the top but poverty and poverty at the bottom. There is more than enough wealth at the top and insufficient wealth at the bottom. Who do you think can live well in these days?"
"It makes sense..."
These literati were really concerned about the country and the people, how could they draw such a far-reaching conclusion about the plague, and judge the world and people's livelihood based on a piece of clothing.
However, Lin Jue's focus was always on the four words "Empress of Yaohua". Hearing their conversation gradually stop, and while they were sighing, he couldn't help but ask:
"This good believer, Taoist Taoist Yishan, I wonder what the 'Empress of Yaohua' that the good believer mentioned just now is about?"
The scholar heard his question and saw that he was a Taoist priest. He had just talked about the Taoist priest who had cured the epidemic in Cuiweiliuyun. He naturally had a good impression of the Taoist in his heart and immediately stood up and saluted.
Lin Jue also quickly returned the gift.
The scholar then said:
"What the Taoist priest doesn't know is that there is a cave in Qingyan County, Qinzhou. It is said that it was the cave where the Empress of Yaohua once practiced. Now she lives in it, and people often visit it. It is very effective."
"Can you elaborate?"
"There's not much to say." The scholar said to him, "If the Taoist priest also wants to see something, he can just go to Qingyan County. When he arrives in front of the cave, he sincerely lights incense and worships, then takes a piece of paper and writes
Throw your questions into the hole, and no matter what you ask, the Yaohua Empress will give you the answer after a while. The magic is here."
"..."
Lin Jue frowned, feeling both surprised and confused.
Empress Yaohua is definitely still alive.
Although Empress Yaohua's Taoist temple is in Huizhou and its surroundings, it is not surprising that she has such a high Taoist practice and such a long lifespan that she has practiced in the Western Regions and on the horizon.
But at this time, even if Empress Yaohua is not in her original dojo and is cultivating elsewhere, she will not just tell people's fortunes and answer questions, right?
Is she so boring?
Lin Jue thought for a moment and asked, "Has anyone seen the Yaohua Empress?"
"You can't enter the cave if you ask immortals. Of course no one has ever seen it."
"Then I dare to ask, does anyone know who the Yaohua Empress is?"
"A fairy from ancient times! It all happened in ancient times. Who still knows her origin? Anyway, there is a stone tablet in front of the cave with the word Yaohua written on it."
"I see."
Lin Jue thought for a moment and quickly thanked him: "Thank you for your answer."
"We met by chance, and we just chatted a few words by chance to relieve the worries of the journey. Why should we say thank you?" The scholar said for a while, "I would also like to ask a few Taoist priests. I know which of them are in Cuiwei and Liuyun County.
Where is the immortal master of the plague!"
"..."
Lin Jue fell into thinking.
I don’t know whether the story about the Yaohua Empress in Qingyan County, Qinzhou is true or false, but he also remembered that she is someone who can answer people’s questions. Even if it is false, you can still ask and see for yourself.
As for the second half of the writer's sentence, he was in trouble.
Lin Jue, a Taoist, naturally did not want to lie, nor did he want to admit it here and provoke some explanation.
After thinking for a moment, he looked to his side: "Junior sister, third senior brother, do you know those immortals and masters?"
"?"
"?"
The third senior brother and the younger junior sister all looked at him in astonishment.
