A chance encounter in the river of life often ends in separation.
The blind old Taoist named Xuan Guzi was silent all the way, which made the little girl feel a little unaccustomed to drinking.
Although the lame boy was unwilling to hand over the snake gallstone, after hesitation and entanglement, he still took the initiative to hand it over to the ill-tempered master.
The old Taoist took the fine-textured stone, held it in his hand and rubbed it carefully for a moment, then for the first time handed it back to the young man, "Keep it for yourself."
The lame boy took the stone in confusion and looked at Xiao Jiu'er, who also shook his head quietly, indicating that he could not guess the master's thoughts.
The old man said softly: "Little cripple, this is your fate. Master can't take it away. If you really take it, it will not be a good thing. Why do you think that young man named Chen Ping'an used the inn to send a letter back to Longquan County? I guess
If we get to Tai Sui and work in a grass-roots shop as a teacher instead of taking out the stones with our own hands, our life there will not be easy. We may not be made things difficult for us, but don’t expect to gain a foothold smoothly, let alone
Forget about finding a mountain top and living under someone else's roof to practice cultivation."
The lame boy said oh, he is not a person with a crooked heart and is not good at thinking about these problems.
The blind old Taoist rubbed the little girl's head and said, "You two are so lucky."
Xiao Jiuer was more thoughtful than his brother and asked: "Master, are the life experiences of young lady and the others unusual?"
The old Taoist nodded and said: "That Longquan County was originally the Lizhu Cave Sky above the Great Li Dynasty. It was broken and then took root on the ground. Before, there was the Confucian saint Qi Jingchun who was in charge for a period of time. Now these children are carrying book boxes, each one smarter than the other.
They say they are going on a long trip to Sui Academy, so who do you think they are students from?"
The little girl was a little envious, "Students of Confucian saints are really amazing."
The blind old Taoist sneered: "Otherwise, the first thing that the Fengxue Temple Sword Immortal Wei Jin did when he broke through the barrier was to come to rescue him? Besides, these children have a Yin God as a retinue, and they can actually threaten that child.
As fierce as a ghost, none of these children can save money."
The old man sighed: "The future is limitless, limitless."
The little girl was a bit belated and asked curiously: "Since Master knows that they are protected by experts, why bother to tell them about the situation of the ghosts in Sanzhi Mountain? They don't have to worry at all."
The old Taoist habitually reached out and pinched the little girl's cheek, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, this is called favor without cost. You can become a good person without spending a copper coin. Why don't you do it?"
The little girl said timidly: "But if people see through Master's thoughts, wouldn't Master just add superfluity?"
The old Taoist was speechless, shook his head and sighed, and finally patted the little girl on the head, "Master, I will treat you two better in the future. For so many years, Master has always thought about picking up a huge leak one day, and he can just pick it up on the roadside.
Disciples with extraordinary talents, I often despise you two because they have bad backgrounds and bad backgrounds, but looking back, it turns out that Master has been in trouble."
The little girl was a little scared. Such an old Taoist was so unfamiliar. Her face turned pale and she said, "Master, are you possessed by a ghost? You don't even recognize him after drinking."
The old Taoist laughed loudly and suddenly said in a low voice: "Jiu'er, master promised not to collect the talisman spring within one year. Now I will discuss with you and change it from one year to half a year. What do you think? Master's trip
When it comes to subduing demons and slaying demons, it’s true that the Tao is as high as the demon. Not only did I give the female ghost a good beating, but not only were there missing four words on the banner, but I also sent out a copy of the "Search" passed down by the master's ancestors.
"Mountain Pictures", you disciples, don't you know how to feel sorry for your master and show your filial piety?"
The little girl was relieved, this was the master she was familiar with, so she said simply: "Half a year, half a year!"
The lame boy carefully collected the stone and said dullly: "The stone is already mine."
The blind old Taoist was so angry that he yelled: "A dog can't change its habit of eating shit!"
The little girl covered her mouth with her hand and smiled.
The little cripple also started laughing.
————
In a deserted place, the Yin God revealed his true form, but his face was still blurry, black smoke shrouded his body, and the Yin Qi was strong. He spoke hoarsely: "I couldn't protect you, and I even caused you to be kidnapped to the female ghost's mansion. I'm sorry.
Already."
Chen Ping'an really didn't know how to comfort people, so he held it in for a long time before finally saying, "Just do your best."
Yin Shen smiled bleakly, "Anyway, I can't escape the blame this time. Especially because I was greedy for personal cultivation, which brought you to such a situation. I really have a bad conscience. If something happens to you, I will even
Afterwards, there is no point in destroying the mountain roots and water sources here and dying together with the female ghost."
Li Baoping said with a smile: "When I was a child, my elder brother liked to tell me some weird things. Once he told a story about a city god, saying that the way to measure moral virtue is different. I remember it very clearly, it is called doing good with intention but doing good.
If you don’t reward, you will not be punished even if you do evil unintentionally. When your manpower is exhausted, if you try your best and do your best, you don’t have to feel too guilty. Otherwise, being a human being is tiring and being a ghost is tiring.”
Yin Shen was speechless, being taught the truth by a little girl. Even though she had shown a gentlemanly attitude before, it was still a bit awkward.
The little girl fell into her own world again. She was a little annoyed and pounded her palms with her fists. "My elder brother always said these weird things. At that time, I only listened to them as interesting stories. I should have known better."
Chen Pingan was about to speak but stopped.
Yin Shen looked at Chen Ping'an and smiled: "Can we talk alone?"
Chen Pingan nodded and asked Lin Shouyi and the others to go first.
Yin Shen waited until Lin Shouyi and the others were about half a mile away and said, "I was arranged by old man Yang from the drug store to protect Li Huai."
Chen Pingan scratched his head, "I thought you were here to protect Baoping or Lin Shouyi."
The Yin God smiled and said: "Li Huai's father, Li Er, almost killed the vassal king Song Changjing. He was very powerful. Once, Li Er came to Old Man Yang and said that his wife was being bullied, and he wanted to go out to find that family.
The ancestors had to leave Lizhu Cave to settle accounts. Old Yang was stubborn and had no choice but to agree. Later, I heard that there was a famous Xianjia Mountain Gate in Aquarius Continent, and Li Er demolished it with his fists.
The Patriarch Hall, and it was all the way from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain."
Chen Pingan opened his mouth wide.
Don't they all say that Li Er is the most unpromising man in the west of the town? Even his son Li Huai has always thought so.
Chen Pingan asked in confusion: "Why didn't Li Er tell Li Huai?"
Yin Shen seemed to be in a much better mood after mentioning Li Er, "Li Er has a very bad temper, otherwise he wouldn't have married Li Huai's mother as his wife."
Chen Ping'an laughed heartily and said: "Li Huai will be very happy when he knows the truth."
Yin Shen asked: "You don't plan to tell Li Huai this? Over at Pillow Station, you just told Baoping the truth directly, even if A Liang advised you not to tell her in a hurry."
Chen Pingan walked forward slowly, "I think it is right about my own affairs. Of course I can make my own decision. But since Li Huai's father is unwilling to tell his son, why should I, an outsider, tell Li Huai the truth?
?Is it because I think Li Huai will be happier like this? This is not good."
Yin Shen nodded, thinking that it was no wonder that Li Er didn't think highly of those proud men back then, but he valued this boy from Mud Bottle Lane more. He even broke the rules and wanted to give the golden carp together with the Dragon King basket.
Chen Pingan.
Chen Ping'an suddenly stopped and asked: "Because I have very good eyesight and was worried that you were a bad person at the time, so I remember clearly that when you first appeared, Senior Yin Shen, the first thing you saw was me.
I went to see Li Huai, why? Is it just an unintentional act? If you don’t want to answer, Senior Yinshen can pretend that I didn’t ask.”
If the Yin Shen were still alive, his mouth would be dry and he would be on pins and needles.
He had never imagined that Chen Ping'an would be so attentive. At that time, his sight flashed away and he was no longer well hidden.
However, when he thought of Chen Pingan's performance along the way, Yin Shen felt relieved again. This is probably why Chen Pingan was able to convince the public.
Even if Lin Shouyi has now reached the fifth level and become a real mountain god, Li Baoping still won't listen to him, and the same goes for Li Huai. As for the Yin Shen himself, I'm afraid there will be no exception. In his eyes, Lin Shouyi,
After all, he is just an extremely smart, well-qualified young man.
This feeling is very strange.
It seems that the boy from Mud Bottle Alley has a kind of temperament that makes people feel "at ease" and "naturally justified".
If the young man says this is wrong, other people in the team will think that it is wrong.
If the young man says this is feasible, then he can do it.
But what's even more strange is that the boy has never deliberately shown off any of his strengths.
On the contrary, he would humbly ask for advice on literacy and reading from the little girl who called him Junior Uncle. He never even regarded Li Huai as an ignorant child, and was willing to stay with Lin Shouyi to chat and listen to what the latter said about the outside world.
Things of heaven and earth.
Yin Shen finally smiled and said: "I won't answer this question yet, but you don't have to worry, I won't harm you."
Chen Pingan trotted forward, turned around and said with a smile: "If I didn't believe senior, I wouldn't have asked this question."
Yin Shen slowly disappeared and sighed, traveling far away with these children, I felt really tired.
In fact, Zhu Lu, the maid with a bad temperament, is considered a genius who cannot be underestimated among ordinary members of the Yamashita Dynasty. It is a pity that in this team, she has been thrown away by thousands of miles from beginning to end.
In every aspect, none of them can compare.
Going further south, it seems that first the Longxu River and the Tiefu River, then the Xiuhua River, the Chongdan River, and the Chongdan River have more water than the mountains. But in the next day and a half, it seems that all the "water transport" has been used up.
It's hard to find even mountain streams. In fact, there is water, but it's all stagnant water pits that are undrinkable. Most of them are sickly willow seedlings, neither tall nor lush, and often crooked. Flying insects are everywhere along the way.
