Chapter 401: Practice

A few days later, early in the morning.

Xuanwei lit the incense stick, bowed a few times in front of the idol, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.

Slowly came to the side room next to the main hall, where there was a bed, a table, several chairs, and a cupboard.

This simple room was built with the help of the villagers for Xuanwei's daily residence.

Unconsciously, Xuanwei has been living here for several months, and everything in the house, even if Xuanwei can't see it, is still familiar with it.

In the cabinet, there is a stack of thread-bound books on the upper floor, which are all Xuanwei's experience in the introduction of monasticism.

On the lower floor of the cabinet, there are all kinds of bottles and jars, which contain medicinal powders and ointments made by Xuanwei, which can cure all kinds of common small problems.

On each bottle and can, Xuanwei carefully pasted a piece of paper, noting the effect of the drugs in it, how to use it, etc.

These seemingly insignificant things are the last gifts that Xuanwei left to the villagers of Dashan Village.

Gently closing the door, Xuan Wei couldn't help but shake his head and sighed lightly: "Supreme Heavenly Venerable! I didn't expect that when it was time to leave, Poor Dao would be so reluctant!"

Although he has not lived in Dashan Village for a long time, the simple and enthusiastic villagers of Dashan Village and the quiet and peaceful atmosphere of the whole village are deeply imprinted in Xuanwei's heart.

"Wow~~~" Erha bit Xuanwei's trouser leg and called out listlessly.

Erha's eyes flashed with tears, and it could be seen that he really liked life in Dashan Village and Dashan Temple.

Follow Xiao Ash to listen to Xuanwei do morning classes in the main hall, practice with dogs and eggs in the courtyard, squat on the ground and count ants when he is bored, and run outside to climb trees and dig birds' eggs.

When it was unhappy, it slipped into the side house and stole the offerings left over from the villagers after worshiping the gods, and when it was happy, it opened its throat and sang a song, and then was chased and beaten by Xiao Ash.

Occasionally, when they come down the mountain to the village, the villagers will enthusiastically bring out the delicious food and let it be feasted on. Children also love to play with it, and follow it around for adventure games from time to time.

At the thought of saying goodbye to these beautiful memories, Erha couldn't help but feel depressed, and even the sadness of parting at this moment was stronger than the group that had left it before.

"Wang!" Xiao Ash stretched out his paw and patted Erha's back, looking like a confidant big brother.

Compared with Erha, Xiao Ash's experience is more tortuous and bumpy, and he is more open to the joys and sorrows of the world.

"Let's go!" Xuan Wei said in a deep voice, and then walked straight out of the mountain view.

……

Following the mountain road built by the villagers with hoes and shovels, Xuanwei walked down the mountain step by step.

The riverside outside the mountain village was full of old women and young people, led by dogs.

"Xuanwei Dao Chief!" Seeing Xuanwei, Goudan and the others immediately stepped forward.

Xuan Wei's face showed a slight hint of emotion, and then he smiled bitterly: "Supreme Heavenly Venerable, why should the layman alarm all the villagers?"

"If I hadn't told the villagers that you were leaving, the villagers would have to complain about me afterwards!"

The village chief next to him coughed, glared at the dog angrily and said, "Daoist Xuanwei is the great benefactor of our village, if you dare to hide that he wants to leave such a big thing, I have to beat your ass with a stick!"

Maybe he was spanked by the village chief a lot when he was a child, even if the dog's butt is so thick that it doesn't even hurt with an iron bar, he still subconsciously reached out and covered his buttocks.

"Daoist Xuanwei, can't you stay for a while longer? Our big mountain village owes you too much, and we haven't had time to repay it yet!"

During this time, Xuanwei not only helped the villagers to treat diseases, but also taught children to read and learn calligraphy, and even helped the village find a way to get rich.

With such a generous kindness, the village chief felt that what they had paid was only a drop in the bucket, far from being enough to repay Xuanwei.

"That's right, Daoist Xuanwei, you can stay, so you can leave after the New Year!"

"Daoist Xuanwei, are you not comfortable living on the mountain? If so, we will immediately help you build a big house, what furniture do you need, just say!"

"The dishes made by my daughter-in-law are delicious, and I will go up the mountain every day to deliver food to the Taoist chief!"

"Teacher, don't you go, you haven't taught us to read Tang poems yet!"

“……”

The villagers spoke out one after another, and sobbing and choking could be faintly heard in the crowd.

The voice of the voice was so familiar, Xuan Wei could even hear who the owner of each voice was.

Taking a deep breath, Xuan Wei bowed heavily with both hands, and said in a deep voice: "Supreme Heavenly Venerable! To be so loved by all the villagers, how virtuous and fortunate it is!"

In an instant, Xuan Wei's state of mind cultivation was sublimated again.

On the way to the realm of Yudan, the last piece of the puzzle has been reached!

"Daoist Xuanwei, I know that I can't keep you, this is some dry food prepared by me, and a fruit wine just brewed by a gourd winery, you can eat and drink on the way!"

Xuan smiled, put the burden on his back, then pulled out the gourd and sniffed it, and said softly: "Poor Dao will remember this wine taste!"

"I will work hard to run the winery, maybe in the future, no matter where you are, you will be able to taste the wine of our Dashan Village anytime and anywhere!"

When Xuan Wei heard this, he stepped forward and patted the dog's shoulder, and said softly: "Then don't let Poor Dao wait too long, otherwise Poor Dao will miss this wine too much, so he will have to go back to Dashan Village to beg for wine!"

"As long as Daoist Xuanwei is willing to come back, the wine will definitely be enough!" said the dog.

Xuan Wei pinned the wine gourd to his waist and said calmly: "Although the world is big, I will see you again if I have a fate!

After speaking, Xuan Wei walked away slowly.

"Whew~~~" Erha, who had just taken a few steps and turned back three times in one step, couldn't hold back any longer, and ran towards the dog as if flying, and then pounced violently.

The dog hurriedly caught Erha, hugged him in his arms, and shouted with tears and snot: "Erha, I can't bear you!"

"Oh~~~" Erha also vigorously offered into the dog's arms, with tears in his eyes.

After a few seconds, the dog put down Erha, laughed more ugly than crying, and said: "Let's go, don't let Xuanwei Dao wait for a long time!"

Erha let out a long whistle and resolutely turned away, not daring to look back again.

……

The shadows of Xuanwei, Xiao Ash, and Erha disappeared from sight, and the villagers still stopped in place.

"Daoist Xuanwei's kindness to our mountain village, we must keep it in mind! Even if our village becomes rich in the future and gradually walks out of this mountain, we must remember the incense offered to the mountain view!" said the village chief solemnly.

The villagers all nodded in response, and some adults even told their children to keep it in mind.

After a few years, Dashan Village finally connected with the outside world, and some people went out and some people walked in.

The mountain view on the mountain outside the village has become a scenic spot.

In the main hall of the Taoist temple, in addition to the gods who worship the Taoist gate, in a corner, there is a statue of a young Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest has a delicate face and an extraordinary bearing, but his eyes are a little less static. The Taoist robe on his body was like a fairy, and a wine gourd on his waist looked even more free.

Interestingly, at the feet of the Taoist priest, there were two dogs, one earth dog and one Erha, which were vivid.

The side room next to the main hall was cut off, and a stone tablet was erected outside the door, on which was written an anecdote of a foreign Taoist priest.
