After a moment, the mountain door opened. The middle-aged Taoist priest from before came out and said, "I heard from my young disciple that you are looking for my master?" Dakui nodded hurriedly. The middle-aged Taoist priest asked: "What do you want to see my master for?"
"Dakui said: "I want to learn from my master."
The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled and said: "My master is old and has already retired from the mountain. Now he is in retreat and has no time to see you. You can go!" Dakui said: "I won't leave, I will wait for him here. He won't
I won’t leave until I get out.”
The middle-aged Taoist priest was about to have a seizure, but he held back and said, "In that case, just wait here." After that, he ordered the young disciple to close the mountain gate.
Dakui stood outside the door for a long time, feeling cold and hungry. He had just run into the water and his clothes were wet. How can he not be cold when his clothes are wet? It was early winter and it was quite chilly. Dakui unpacked his bags and put on all his clothes.
, there were still two pieces of cake that he brought with him when he came out from Uncle Liu's house. Da Kui took a few bites of them and put them away again.
In this way, Dakui stood in front of the door until dark, and the mountain door never opened again.
The next morning, the little Taoist boy came out to sweep the floor again. Seeing Da Kui still standing there, he said: "Why are you still here? You should leave quickly, my master will not see you." Da Kui trembled and said: "He is not there.
I, I won't leave." Seeing Da Kui's stubbornness, the Taoist boy ignored him and concentrated on sweeping the floor. After sweeping the floor, the Taoist boy carried the broom and entered the door, turned around and closed the door. Just like this, another day and night passed.
It started snowing on the morning of the third day, but Da Kui didn't feel very cold. It turned out that the outer layer of clothes had frozen, blocking the cold wind. Just like yesterday, the Taoist boy came out to sweep the floor. When he saw that Da Kui hadn't left, he didn't say anything and just said
Sweeping the floor. After sweeping the floor, he entered the door as usual and closed the door. Da Kui stood outside the door and waited. Unexpectedly, it started to snow in the second half of the day. The snow became heavier and heavier until late at night, and the north wind became stronger and stronger.
After all, when the snow stopped, the sky was bright. The Taoist boy came out and saw Dakui missing, but only saw a snowman standing in front of the door. The Taoist boy swept the floor and found that Dakui was in the way. He said: "Give way."
Unexpectedly, Dakui's voice sounded like a voice from outside: "I can't give in... I'm frozen..." The Taoist boy had no choice but to clean the area around Dakui and the door, then turned around and entered the mountain gate. With a bang, the door opened.
He closed it tightly again. At this time, Dakui had already eaten all the cakes on his body, so he had to stay close for another day and night.
On the morning of the fifth day, Da Kui felt hot all over his body and was in a trance. The Taoist boy came out and saw Da Kui shaking like chaff, so he came over and asked, "Are you going to take root here and sprout another fool next spring?" Da Kui
He didn't say anything, just shook his eyes with his eyes closed. After sweeping the floor, the Taoist boy closed the mountain gate as usual. Half an hour later, the mountain door opened. The Taoist boy brought a tray with a bowl of rice and a plate on it.
Green vegetables, and a bowl of hot soup. "My master is afraid that you will starve to death or freeze to death. I have ordered people to prepare food. Eat it quickly." After saying that, he placed the tray on the ground in front of Da Kui's feet. Then he turned around and entered the mountain gate, still the same.
There was a "bang" sound and the mountain gate was closed tightly.
Two hours later, the mountain gate opened again, and the Taoist boy came out to clean up the dishes. He saw that the food had already cooled down but had not been touched at all. The Taoist boy picked up the tray and turned around. This time, he closed the door and did not open it again. Da Kui stood outside the door again.
One day and one night.
On the sixth day, at dawn, the mountain gate opened again. The middle-aged Taoist priest came out and said to Dakui: "My master told you to go back, don't be persistent." He took out twenty taels of silver from his arms and put it in Dakui.
At his feet, Dakui was already furious, but a sentence floated out of his mouth: "I won't leave! If you don't succeed in learning, you will die!" The middle-aged Taoist priest glanced at Dakui, said nothing, turned around and entered the mountain gate.
.
When the gate closed, two lines of clear tears flowed down Dakui's face. He stood until late at night, and Dakui couldn't hold on any longer. His body went limp and he fell to the ground unconscious. Soon the mountain gate opened, and a strong old man walked out of the gate.
Standing in front of Dakui, this old man is wearing a moon-white Taoist robe, and his movements show his immortal spirit. Although his beard and hair are all white, his eyes are bright and lively, showing no anger or authority.
Four people stood respectfully behind him, all dressed as Taoists in green robes. They were all around forty years old. The middle-aged Taoist priest from before was among them. The old man said, "Lingxu, take this child to the guest room for recuperation. Treat him."
See me when you get better." The middle-aged Taoist priest from before bowed and said, "Yes, Master." After saying that, the old man turned around and went back.
Dakui had a dream, 'I dreamed that I had become a disciple of the Taoist Infatuated Man, and I had developed good martial arts. I also dreamed that Brother Tang was leading the army on the battlefield, and I was the vanguard officer. The sword pointed at me was invincible!'
At this point, Da Kui couldn't help but giggle. At this time, a childish voice shouted: "Master, Master, the fool is awake." Da Kui opened his eyes and happened to see the Taoist boy running out of the room.
Not long after, the middle-aged Taoist priest Lingxuzi walked into the room and came to the bedside and asked Dakui: "Are you feeling better?" Dakui wanted to get up, but his whole body was sore. Lingxuzi said: "Don't move, you are originally
I'm weak and infected with wind and cold. It's more important to stay healthy and recuperate."
Lingxuzi then ordered his young disciple: "Go and bring the medicine that you have boiled for the teacher." The Taoist boy followed the order and turned around. After a while, he brought a bowl of soup. Lingxuzi fed Da Kui the medicine with his own hands. Da Kui really felt that
Flattered.
The Taoist boy covered his mouth behind Lingxuzi and said with a smile: "Idiot, you can really sleep. You slept for two days and two nights. Thanks to my master who feeds you porridge and medicine every day." Lingxuzi said with a straight face: "Don't be rude.
"The Taoist boy was silent, but he made a face at Da Kui, who just giggled.
The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled and said: "My Taoist name is Lingxuzi, and he is the eldest disciple of my master." He pointed to the Taoist boy behind him and said: "This is my young disciple Huiqing. He is young and naughty and has a naughty nature. Don't be offended!"
Dakui said hurriedly: "No, no, he is fine. Thank you Taoist Priest for saving my life!"
Lingxuzi chuckled and said: "The donor is born with a lot of blessings. My master has not seen anyone else for more than ten years. Unexpectedly, when the donor first came, my master asked me to take care of him and take you to see him when he recovers."
Him." Dakui was inexplicably excited when he heard this, and he laughed and said: "I am so happy, I can see Master Lingzhi, hahahaha!" Lingxuzi said with a straight face: "Donors, please be careful what you say, the name of the master is taboo.
Never make false claims.”
Dakui nodded hurriedly: "I remember, thank you Taoist Master for your advice." Lingxuzi then stood up with a smile and said: "Donor, please be healthy and recuperate, I don't want to disturb you." After that, he told Taoist Tong Huiqing: "You
Take care of the donor. If you need anything, come and see me."
Huiqing bowed and cupped his hands and said, "I obey my master's orders." Lingxuzi smiled at Dakui, turned around and left.
This Huiqing was very intelligent and eloquent. Dakui felt that he was very close to him, and he couldn't help but start chatting all over the world.
Dakui stayed in bed like this for two more days, with Huiqing serving food and medicine every day. By the third day, Dakui was able to walk. Although his body was still feeling hairy, he felt that it was no longer in the way.
It was almost noon, and Dakui had finished his meal. Lingxuzi came to Dakui's room and said, "Follow me, the master wants to see you." Dakui was dumbfounded. Is this true? Dakui followed Lingxuzi, and he couldn't help but feel confused.
