Lin Qingxuan pushed the door and walked into the wing room of the Guisheng Palace. He saw that the room had been cleaned. There was a square table and two stools. There was a low bed in the corner with a layer of mats on it. Although the room was clean, it was still clean.
There is a bit of filth in the air.
Lin Qingxuan knew that it was probably Taoist Jingci who knew how to be a good person. As soon as he left, he prepared a bedroom for himself and Lu Zhitang, but it was closed for a long time before he arrived. Opening the door and window, Lin Qingxuan summoned his inner strength and waved his sleeves, and the room seemed to be open.
I turned on a big fan and blew the window paper, and the air flow wrapped around the dust in the room and rushed out.
After a while, Lin Qingxuan wiped the stool with his sleeves and sat down.
After resting for a while to regain his inner strength, he placed the iron pole on the wall and hung the Jiuzhen Sword on the wall. He walked to the kitchen to get some hot water and scrubbed his hair. Only then did he put on the apricot yellow gift from Senior Brother Sun Desheng.
Taoist robe.
Facing the reflection of the basin, Lin Qingxuan put on his Hunyuan Crown, his big sleeves were fluttering, his eyebrows were drawn into his temples, and he was just a whisk away from the divine and handsome Youdao Quanzhen.
Although Lin Qingxuan is not yet 16 years old, he has eaten a lot of snake gall and snake meat from the Bodhisattva Snake in the past six months since he practiced the Yi Jin Bone Medal. The spiritual food nourished his body and made him grow a lot taller. In addition, the green color on his lips
His black beard had never been shaved, and he looked like he was about twenty years old.
After Lin Qingxuan packed up, he sat cross-legged and practiced for a while. On the second week of practice, he heard someone knocking on the door. After waiting for a while, he opened his eyes and heard Taoist Jingci say: "Taoist Master Qingxuan, the food is ready.
, please move to Zaoxiangchu.”
Lin Qingxuan opened the door and came out. He woke up with Taoist Jingci for a moment and went to the kitchen. The area was very large because it was the place where hundreds of Taoists ate a hundred years ago. At this time, the inner room was the kitchen, and the outer room was equipped with tables, chairs, benches, and basins and bowls.
It's obviously a restaurant.
The seven Taoists were all in the kitchen. When they saw Lin Qingxuan coming in, they hurriedly saluted. Lin Qingxuan returned the salute and said with a smile: "Everyone, please take a seat. I am also new here. I will rely on your cooperation in the future."
"Taoist priest, you're welcome."
"How can we not obey the Taoist priest's orders?"
…
After being polite for a long time, several Taoists had already taken out the warm food on the stove in the back kitchen, and in a blink of an eye, four meat, four vegetarian and eight different dishes were placed on the table.
It's just that Taoists have strict rules and don't drink much, so Taoist Jingci only brought out a jar of home-brewed fruit wine and said with a smile: "I just picked grapes, crabapples and other fruits last month, and brewed a jar randomly. I made it in previous years."
The taste is sour and sweet, and the wine taste is not strong. I wonder how it will be this year?"
As he opened the mud seal, Lin Qingxuan immediately smelled the fragrant fruity aroma. There was no rotten smell in the aroma, so he smiled and said, "I smell the brewing successfully, but I don't know how it tastes?"
A young Taoist took it and made a pot and sifted a bowl for Lin Qingxuan. Lin Qingxuan took a sip and felt that it was sour and sweet in the mouth, with a slight aroma of wine, rather like the taste of apple cider vinegar mixed with wine.
He nodded and said: "Yes, let's have a good meal and drink today. While the palace master is away, we can eat and drink together and clean up the weeds and waste in each palace, so that the palace master can shine."
All the Taoists agreed in unison, and then ate in silence for a while. When they were all full, they put away the food, put only the sifted fruit wine on the table, and talked while drinking.
Lin Qingxuan was originally a Taoist Taoist priest, so even though he was a Taoist deacon, he had no airs and was very polite when talking to other Taoists. He told some anecdotes about the world and asked about the history of Wudang during the chat, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.
Half an hour later, after drinking and talking, Lin Qingxuan stood up suddenly and said: "I have nothing to do, let's go to each hall to clean up."
The Taoists agreed and took the tools and followed Lin Qingxuan to the front hall first. While the Taoists were working, Lin Qingxuan did not sit back and watch. He asked for a sickle and climbed up the ladder to the eaves. Although he did not show any martial arts skills, he relied on
Thanks to his proficiency in martial arts and the help of the snake gall he had eaten in recent months, his strength was extraordinary. In less than a stick of incense, he was able to clean up the weeds on the roof of a side hall by himself.
All the Taoists couldn't stop praising him, Taoist Jingci said with a smile: "Taoist priest must be very powerful in martial arts. I have seen the palace master's swordsmanship and lightness kung fu, which is amazing. I also see that Taoist priest Qingxuan's martial arts are not trivial."
"
After hearing the praises and flattery from all the Taoists, Lin Qingxuan just said it was nothing. After coming down, he said: "Our palace master is a disciple of the real master, how can I compare with him? Some of my humble skills were also taught by the palace master.
appropriate."
The Taoists became more and more convinced when they saw that although Lin Qingxuan was young, he handled things with moderation, was neither arrogant nor arrogant in his words, and had the demeanor of a master in the Xuan Dynasty.
Since Lin Qingxuan came to Zixiao Palace in Wudang Mountain, the Taoists no longer live a tight life. They eat white flour, rice and sticky rice every day, and clean and repair the palace together. They live a very happy life.
Four days later, Taoist Lin Qingxuan and Jingci were talking in the Sanqing Hall. Suddenly, a young Taoist walked in quickly and said with a smile: "Taoist Master, master, the palace master is back, and he has brought a lot of cloth.
food."
"Inform the Taoists working everywhere to come out to greet the palace master."
After Lin Qingxuan finished speaking, he and Taoist Jingci hurriedly turned around and went out to greet him.
When I walked out of the gate, I saw Lu Zhitang wearing an apricot-yellow Taoist robe and walking towards him with a whisk in his hand. Behind him were four mountain people, each carrying a lot of baggage. A Taoist man followed Lu Zhitang forward, holding a pile of blue cloth and talking as he walked.
As soon as Lu Zhitang came up the mountain, he was discovered by several young and powerful Taoist priests who were trimming the stone slabs at the door. One of them took the cloth from Lu Zhitang's hand and talked to Lu Zhitang in greeting. Others came in to inform Lin Qingxuan and others so that they could go out to greet him.
After listening for a while, Lu Zhitang already knew that Lin Qingxuan had actually returned to the mountain. It was said that it was his first time hiking on the mountain road, and he didn't know the direction and boundaries. He got lost in the forest and finally found Wudang Mountain.
Lu Zhitang thought that Lin Qingxuan was only fourteen or fifteen years old. He had never been down the mountain before. How could he know how to travel? There were tigers, leopards, and bears in this mountain forest, and he was of low ability. He was lucky to be able to save his life.
.
I was too imprudent to let him take the first step. Fortunately, Qingxuan was fine, otherwise I would never have peace of mind.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhitang saw Lin Qingxuan walking out of the palace wearing brand new clothes. He looked much taller, but his skin was dark, and he had obviously suffered a lot.
Lu Zhitang blushed a little, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Lin Qingxuan. He looked around and saw that there was no damage and no missing parts. Then he felt relieved and said, "Qingxuan, you're fine."
Lin Qingxuan bowed and saluted: "I'm sorry for you, Palace Master. I thought the trail would be easy as it approached Wudang Mountain. However, when I left Shangnan County, I encountered thieves who cut the trail, and while escaping, I accidentally entered a deserted valley."
, I also encountered a lot of venomous snakes. I was so anxious that I didn’t know where to go from east to west. I wandered around for several months before I left the forest. I saw the villagers and I realized that half a year had passed. I didn’t dare to stay. I asked for directions.
Hurry and hurry, we arrived at Zixiao Palace just four days ago..."
Lin Qingxuan's rhetoric is watertight. At this time, the population was not densely populated, and there was no navigation map.
Outside the city, there are mountains, forests and wilderness everywhere, and there are not many official roads. Most people go out either to find a local guide or just follow the familiar roads. If they wander around like a headless fly, they will get lost during the day and there is no guarantee that they will not be encountered at night.
There are wild beasts, so where are the merchants and students traveling alone?
Lu Zhitang also secretly said that he was lucky. Just because he got along with Lin Qingxuan on the way down the mountain and saw that he was rigorous in doing things and also learned a lot of martial arts, he was relieved to let him go first. He didn't expect that he had never traveled far, let alone walked the mountain road alone.
This almost cost him his life.
"It was because I didn't think carefully that I almost killed you. Fortunately, Dao Ancestor protected me. Qingxuan, you have just come back. You need to have a good rest. We at Zixiao Palace will rely on you more in the future."
Listening to Lu Zhitang's heart-warming words, Lin Qingxuan also nodded and said: "I am already familiar with all the Taoists, and we will try our best to do whatever the palace master orders us to do."
