Chapter 381: Daoist Words
Gently putting Zixuan on the ground, Qiao Yun said softly: "Zixuan, you can rest for a while, and I will carry you down the mountain in a while." ”
Nodding, Zhao Zixuan moved her somewhat sore limbs, although she fell asleep all the way, she always maintained a position, and Zhao Zixuan was indeed a little tired.
While resting, Zhao Zixuan looked around, and suddenly she noticed the Guanyin Temple, and immediately pulled Qiao Yun and said, "Qiao Yun, we finally went up to the top of the mountain, let's go and worship Guanyin Bodhisattva." ”
Zhao Zixuan wanted to worship Guanyin, Qiao Yun naturally had no objection, and immediately accompanied Zhao Zixuan to the Guanyin Temple in the middle of the mountaintop. The temple is not built very much, and in the bronze stove in front of the temple, there are three incense sticks burned, and the clouds and smoke are scattered from the furnace.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked into the temple, where a white jade Guanyin sitting in the lotus seat in the center was pure and unblemished, and it was extraordinary. In front of the statue of Guanyin, there is an offering table, on the table are placed tributes and candles, the merit box is placed in front of the altar, and three dark yellow futons on the ground are facing the statue of Guanyin.
Coming to the futon, Qiao Yun and Zhao Zixuan both knelt down, folded their hands, and bowed three times to the statue of Guanyin, and then prayed silently in their hearts, and bowed three times to the statue of Guanyin again, and then slowly stood up. After getting up, Qiao Yun took out a few hundred-yuan bills from the ring, handed half of them to Zixuan, and then the two put the money into the merit box.
"Thank you to the two good people for their worship of Xiaoguan, there is no way to repay the poor road, it is better to count a hexagram for the two good people, and talk about thanks, I don't know what the two of you think?" A slightly old voice slowly came out behind the two.
Although Zixuan was taken aback, she didn't care, but Qiao Yun's reaction was completely different. The hairs on his body suddenly exploded the moment he heard the voice behind him, and he quickly turned around. faintly used his body to block Zixuan behind him.
Before entering the temple, Qiao Yun had already used his divine sense to inspect the entire mountaintop, and was sure that there was no one except the two of them. But when he suddenly heard a voice at this moment, Qiao Yun was like seeing a ghost, and there was only one thought in his heart, that is, to meet a master.
However, after turning around, Qiao Yun was slightly stunned, only to see an old Taoist in a gray Taoist robe looking at Qiao Yun and Zhao Zixuan with a smile. What puzzled Qiao Yun the most was. No matter how Ren Qiaoyun looks, he can't see the cultivation of the old way, and the old man gives people the feeling that he is completely an ordinary person.
After carefully confirming the two sides, Qiao Yun slowly put away the murderous intent that was revealed from his whole body before, and his eyes gradually returned to flatness, but Qiao Yun did not relax his vigilance against the old way. Could it be because he only cared about Zixuan before, and he didn't check all of them when he checked it, and he leaked this old way? Shaking his head slightly, Qiao Yun temporarily let go of the confusion in his heart, at least at this moment, this old way has not shown any malice. So Qiao Yun didn't dig any further.
"Ah?!" After Zhao Zixuan turned around, she couldn't help but be a little surprised, obviously it was a temple, why did an old Taoist priest come out? Zhao Zixuan instantly felt that this picture had no sense of disobedience.
"What's wrong. Zixuan?" Qiao Yun asked softly.
"It's... Isn't this a temple? How could a Taoist priest come out?" Zhao Zixuan said subconsciously.
After looking around, Qiao Yun spoke: "It seems that we were mistaken from the beginning, this is not a temple. It's a Taoist temple. ”
"Taoist Temple?!" Zhao Zixuan felt a little inexplicable, "Isn't it Guanyin Bodhisattva enshrined here? How can it be a Taoist temple?"
"Actually, Guanyin is not only found in Buddhism. Guanyin is also a deity worshiped by Taoism, and Taoism calls her Cihang Taoist. Qiao Yun explained slowly. Because Qiao Yun was very interested in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in Huaxia. So I flipped through a lot of books on this subject in my spare time in high school, but I didn't expect these casual contents to come in handy at this moment.
"This good man is right, Cihang Daoist is also the god of my Taoism. Lao Dao said with a smile, casting an appreciative look at Qiao Yun, "I didn't expect that a good man has a certain understanding of Taoism at a young age, which is really commendable." ”
After listening to Qiao Yun and Lao Dao's words, Zhao Zixuan stuck out her tongue slightly, this was the first time she had heard that Guanyin was also worshiped by Taoism. However, Zhao Zixuan quickly accepted this fact and asked briskly: "This Dao Master, you just said that you wanted to tell the two of us?"
Lao Dao smiled and took out a bamboo tube with many bamboo sticks from his left sleeve, and said: "The two good people only need to draw one lot from each of these bamboo tubes, and the poor Dao will interpret the hexagram for the two through the hexagram on the bamboo stick." ”
"Okay, then I'll come first. After listening to the old words, Zhao Zixuan took two steps forward, made a choice, and selected a bamboo stick from it and held it in his hand.
Qiao Yun hesitated, but in order not to sweep Zixuan's excitement, Qiao Yun casually drew a bamboo stick in the bamboo tube.
After the two of them finished smoking, Lao Dao took the bamboo tube back into the sleeve of his robe again, and then smiled slightly: "Which of the two will calculate the hexagram first?"
Handing over the bamboo stick in his hand, Zhao Zixuan said, "I'll do it." ”
Nodding his head and taking the bamboo stick, Lao Dao looked at the hexagram depicted on it, and slowly closed his eyes. After a long time, the old man opened his eyes and whispered: "A hundred years apart, two thoughts are separated, and once you can see the loess and a half." After several years of skill, he saved his lover from his body. ”
Zhao Zixuan was stunned for a moment, although she roughly understood the meaning of the poem that Lao Dao said, but Zhao Zixuan didn't think that this poem had anything to do with her. How could he and Qiao Yun be separated by a hundred years? I didn't cultivate, where did I get the skills? Zhao Zixuan just wanted to ask what was going on, but found that Lao Dao had already taken the bamboo stick in Qiao Yun's hand.
Temporarily stopped asking, Zhao Zixuan thought to himself, it was not too late to listen to how this Taoist priest explained to Qiao Yun, so Zhao Zixuan didn't speak, and looked at the old Taoist with his eyes closed and pondered.
After a while, Lao Dao opened his eyes again, looked at Qiao Yun, and slowly spoke: "A few people stay in a few degrees, and the gods of the Six Realms of the Dragon Emperor follow." Suddenly woke up and sighed, not like yellow sorghum is unknown. ”
frowned slightly, what the old Taoist said to Zixuan, Qiao Yun could still understand, but when it came to himself, Qiao Yun could hear it in a fog, especially the last two sentences, what suddenly woke up, what is not like Huangliang?!
As if he knew that Qiao Yun and Zhao Zixuan were going to question, Lao Dao took the lead and said: "Two good people, the poor Dao has finished solving the hexagram array, as for its deep meaning, I forgive the poor Dao for not being able to tell each other, and when the time is ripe, the two of them will know." ”
I wanted to ask, but I couldn't ask at the moment, Zhao Zixuan already thought that the old Tao in front of him was a liar, and he didn't have the heart to stay in this Taoist temple anymore, so he turned his head and said to Qiao Yun: "Qiao Yun, let's go." ”
Nodding, Qiao Yun couldn't figure out where the old man came from, so he didn't want to stay here for a long time, so he took Zhao Zixuan out of the Taoist temple.
"The two good people walked slowly, and the road of forgiveness was not far away. Lao Dao was not the slightest annoyed by the sudden departure of the two, but said with a smile.
After Qiao Yun and Zixuan walked out of the Taoist temple, they did not stop at the top of the mountain, Qiao Yun carried Zixuan on his back and slowly walked down the mountain from another mountain road.
Walking and walking, Qiao Yun paused slightly, his eyes were condensed, and he carried Zhao Zixuan to the top of the mountain again, this time Qiao Yun's speed was many times faster than when he went down the mountain, and at this moment Qiao Yun didn't care about the bumps or bumps, he just wanted to return to the top of the mountain as soon as possible.
Seeing that Qiao Yun suddenly turned around and rushed towards the top of the mountain, Zhao Zixuan hugged Qiao Yun's neck tightly and asked with some puzzlement, "What's wrong Qiao Yun?
Before Qiao Yun could answer, the two had already come to the top of the mountain, and Qiao Yun went straight to the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain.
Entering the Taoist temple, Qiao Yun walked around, but where was the figure of the old Taoist inside, the empty Taoist temple had already been empty.
"Huh, what about the old Taoist?" Zhao Zixuan also saw that something was wrong, and he faintly guessed something in his heart.
"Master ......" Qiao Yun muttered to himself, at this moment, Qiao Yun's back was already soaked in cold sweat, if the Taoist priest had any ill will towards him and Zixuan, the two of them would not even have room to resist.
After Qiao Yun left, the more he thought about the poems that Lao Dao said, the more doubts he felt in his heart. Later, he accidentally used his divine sense to explore the situation of the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain again, but he found no trace of the old Dao, so Qiao Yun was shocked, so he returned to see what was going on, and in the end, the old Dao had indeed left.
At this moment, Qiao Yun's brows were tightly locked, and he couldn't figure out what the purpose of this old way's actions was. He couldn't even tell his strength level, could it be that he used some secret method to hide his strength? Shaking his head, Qiao Yun didn't think about it anymore, but carried Zhao Zixuan on his back again, and left the Taoist temple without looking back.
It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, the pressure on Qiao Yun from the old way is too great, although the old way did not deal with the two of them, but who knows if there are other people nearby besides the old way, Qiao Yun didn't dare to joke with Zixuan's life, so he quickly took Zixuan down Tianyan Mountain.
From Qiao Yun's serious expression, Zixuan also saw that there seemed to be something wrong with the old way, in order not to disturb Qiao Yun's mind, Zixuan did not ask out loud, but quietly lay on Qiao Yun's back.
The distance from Tianyan Mountain to the barracks was nearly ten kilometers, but it was nothing at Qiao Yun's feet, and in just ten minutes, Qiao Yun took Zhao Zixuan back to the barracks.
The students and instructors of the military training have already returned to the camp, and all the students are too tired to be put back in the dormitory by the instructors to rest, and today's training has been canceled exceptionally.
Seeing that Qiao Yun came back with Zhao Zixuan, several instructors immediately greeted him, and the first one was Xiao Yan. (To be continued......)
