In a secluded valley, two thatched cottages were built randomly.
Three sticks of high-quality incense were randomly inserted into the incense burner made of piled stones, and smoke rose into the sky.
Wen Renzheng, an old man with white hair and beard, sat cross-legged on a stone and looked through the Taoist scriptures in his hand.
The old magician Li Buyi was pacing slowly in front of Wen Renzheng, waving a fly whisk as messy as chicken feathers!
Li Buyi licked his nostrils from time to time, then casually touched the already tattered Taoist robe, and glanced at it from time to time: "Boy, being too supreme to forget one's feelings is the supreme virtue of my Taoism."
Li Buyi's expression changed as he spoke, and he began to pinch it.
After a while, Li Buyi looked helplessly towards the exit of the valley, gently waving the fly whisk and shaking his head.
"What a fool! The place where I practice my cultivation is my own home. You can come here whenever you want!"
Wen Renzheng, who was silently reciting the Dao Dian, was stunned. He put the Dao Dian in his hand on his knees and looked at Li Buyi in surprise: "Brother, are there guests?"
After Wen Renzheng left the Governor-General Liu Dashao's Mansion in Yingzhou, he met Li Buyi who came here specially and asked him to follow him to cultivate immortality.
Although Wen Renzheng didn't understand how Li Buyi knew his whereabouts, Wen Renzheng respected Li Buyi from the bottom of his heart, whose appearance had hardly changed in decades.
In my mind, Li Buyi is always the respected senior who pointed at his master's nose and yelled at him!
It is not surprising for such a strange person who knows where he is to learn about people and politics.
I originally thought that Li Buyi wanted me to cultivate immortality with him, but Wen Renzheng also thought that Li Buyi wanted to accept me as his disciple.
However, things were beyond my expectation and not what I thought.
Li Buyi did not accept himself as a disciple, but instead accepted him as a disciple on behalf of his master.
So, after holding three sticks of incense in front of a portrait of an old Taoist priest with immortal demeanor, Wen Renzheng became Li Buyi's apprentice.
The granddaughter's life-long events were settled, and she wanted to return to the old road and wander around the world. Under Li Buyi's instigation, Wen Renzheng embarked on an illusory path of seeking immortality and seeking immortality.
road.
This journey lasted for more than half a year.
There is no time in the mountains. Wen Renzheng himself did not know how long he had been with his senior brother Li Buyi.
Li Buyi heard Wen Renzheng's question and coughed while stroking his beard.
"Uh-huh, junior brother, senior brother is not like this on weekdays!"
"Those who practice Taoism should be quiet and do nothing, and should not get angry easily!"
"Everything you saw just now is illusion, illusion, and that is not Senior Brother's original intention!"
"Yes, junior brother must remember senior brother's teachings."
"Lü Gongwang, the chief staff officer of the Prince of Shu's Mansion, pays homage to the old immortal."
"His Royal Highness couldn't help but be overjoyed to learn that the old immortal had settled down here to live in a house and comprehend the way of heaven!"
"Lv came here on the order of the King of Shu, and specially came to invite the old immortal to come out to the mountain to perform a divination."
While the two brothers were talking, a middle-aged scribe wearing a blue robe of a Confucian scholar waved an exquisite folding fan in his hand, smiled lightly and gave a fist, followed by dozens of fully armored soldiers carrying several mouthfuls.
The large and luxurious box came towards the two thatched cottages.
Li Buyi frowned and looked at Lu Gongwang who came uninvited.
Thinking of the power behind Lu Gongwang, Li Buyi looked up at the sky helplessly and sighed.
"Oh, what a fool! God's will is inevitable. You are going to kill me by doing this!"
Lu Gongwang gently closed his folding fan and looked at Li Buyi respectfully.
"Lü Gongwang of the Prince of Shu's Palace pays homage to the old immortal!"
Li Buyi glanced at Lu Gongwang, who looked respectful, and said, "No courtesy! The old Taoist already knows the purpose of your visit, but the old Taoist has finished calculating the three hexagrams for this year. If the King of Shu wants to ask for hexagrams, he still needs to visit the old Tao early next year!"
"At the right time, as long as there is a chance, the old Taoist will naturally make a divination for His Highness the King of Shu!"
Lu Gongwang stood up slowly and frowned slightly as he looked at Li Buyi, who looked like an old man who was keeping strangers away.
"Old Immortal, Lv Mou heard that the old Immortal once made an exception for the late emperor in the palace to divine fortune."
"Since we can make an exception, the old god's refusal would be too absolute."
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu is of royal blood and is the closest relative of the late Emperor. Since the old god can make an exception for the late Emperor, doesn't it mean that he can make an exception for His Highness the King of Shu!"
"The prince can't even invite the old immortal. The old immortal's airs are a bit too big!"
“As the saying goes, if there is one, there are two!”
"If the old immortal comes out to do divination for the prince, he will surely give you generous gifts!"
Li Buyi closed his eyes slightly, gently clasped the whisk in his hand, and glanced up at Lu Gongwang, who was smiling deeply.
"As the saying goes?"
"As the saying goes, the gentleman will go to whomever he says it. What do you want me to do?"
"As the saying goes, sir, I also said it is a common saying!"
"The Taoist is an outsider who only cares about the secular world. What does the common saying have to do with the Taoist!"
Lu Gongwang, who was smiling all the time, his face froze when he heard Li Buyi's words!
"Old immortal, your highness has asked Lu to invite you again and again. Isn't it sincere enough?"
"Enough! But after the old Taoist three hexagrams to ask the sky, it won't work anymore. It's useless even if the old Taoist goes there!"
"The old god is really good at joking. If the number one god in the world is not clever, he will not be so famous!"
"Could it be that the old god doesn't give the prince any face at all?"
"The old man really can't calculate it!"
Lu Gongwang's eyes narrowed slightly: "What if Lu insists on asking the old god to go there?"
Li Buyi pretended to be confused and looked at Lu Gongwang: "What do you mean?"
Lu Gongwang waved his hand slightly, and dozens of soldiers surrounded Li Buyi.
"It's really hard to invite the old immortal, so Lu has no choice but to force him to do so!"
Li Buyi shook his head helplessly and looked at Lu Gongwang calmly: "You're scaring the old man!"
Lu Gongwang waved his hand: "Invite the old god to come over for an appointment!"
Li Buyi looked at the whisks in the hands of dozens of soldiers who were slowly approaching.
"What a shame, I'm over a hundred years old and don't want to get angry with you little guys. You guys are really ungrateful!"
As he spoke, the clothes on his body moved automatically without wind, afterimages flashed frequently in the valley, and screams continued.
After a while, Li Buyi looked at the group of soldiers gathered outside the valley, and Lu Gongwang, who was sitting on the ground with his mouth open, and casually patted the whisk.
"roll!"
"Gudu"
Lu Gongwang looked at Li Buyi tremblingly: "You are a human or a ghost!"
Li Buyi glanced at Lu Gongwang lightly: "If you don't leave, I will let you try to be a ghost!"
Lu Gongwang hurriedly got up and looked at a group of soldiers with bruises and swollen faces.
"go back!"
Looking at the fleeing figures of the group, Li Buyi sighed, scratched his ears and walked towards the valley.
"The veteran obviously doesn't know how to fight, so why bother if he insists on doing it? Why bother?"
"A group of dancers can't do it, and you can't even do it!"
"Show off your strength blindly!"
"Stay here! Liu Zhi'an is polite!"
Li Buyi, who was walking, stiffened when he heard the angry voice behind him, and turned around helplessly.
"Why are you again?"
"Liu Yuan is here, and the old man's humble abode is full of glory!"
"Are you thirsty, hungry or not? If you need anything, just say it. Just treat it as your own home!"
Liu Zhi'an shook his head silently: "Thank you Shen Xiang, Liu Zhi'an still comes here for the past. I wonder if Shen Xiang's arithmetic has ever improved to a higher level?"
Li Buyi scratched his disheveled hair with a tangled expression.
"Other than Yuan Liu, the old Taoist really doesn't have that ability! After Master Gongpuzi passed away, there really is no one who has this ability anymore!"
"To tell you the truth, the old Taoist is the worst in terms of Taoist cultivation of immortality. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is at the bottom. Look at the old Taoist who is only over one hundred and thirty years old. His beard and hair are a little less than half white, and his wrinkles are almost 30 years old.
Isn't it obvious that there are too many of you? It's obvious that my skills are not good enough!"
"Does Shen Xiang really have no other option?"
"Old Yuan Liu, God's will cannot be violated, God's will cannot be violated!"
"It's not easy for me to save blood!"
"If you vomit again and again, it will really be over!"
