Chapter 720, The Way of the World

Spirits and gods do not exist in the world.

This is everyone's values, outlook on life, and social outlook, even Li Yun thinks so, except for his own Taoist temple, there are absolutely no ghosts and gods outside, after all, they are restricted by the rules, and there are no droughts, Ying Dragons, and chaotic mythical creatures that originally walked all over the land in the mythological era.

Li Yun packed the ticket, these are absolutely not, if there are mythical creatures such as drought fish walking in the world, eat three catties of hot Xiang on the spot.

When it comes to doing it, it will never cheat on eating and drinking.

However, there is a kind of ghost and god that still exists in the world, Li Yun must face it seriously.

That's leadership.

"Leader?"

"The official position in the world, there are people above who want to come to Elephant Head Mountain, and we want to take care of it. Li Yun looked at the message sent by Xuan Li and said: "Although it is said that it is for the beautiful scenery, it is none of our business, but sometimes, the people above don't think so, but the people below are not necessarily." ”

This is where Li Yun is a little speechless.

From the perspective of posture, people are planning to quietly come to visit a mountain, see a beautiful scenery, drink tea, and eat melons, but they are distorted by all kinds of guesses, all kinds of thoughts, thinking about how the leader is coming, and what expression to use to receive.

Xuanli also thought this way, and he was nervous when he heard the wind.

The village chief also came to say hello, saying that some big man was coming, and he was so embarrassed that a few black hairs had fallen out - in fact, he was plucked out by his eldest grandson.

The louder this momentum became, Li Yun, who originally wanted to receive it with a normal heart, had to face it a little more seriously.

It's not just the leaders who are facing it, it's more people...

In fact, to a certain extent, these people are the targets that need to be seriously addressed.

"Tsk, there's no point, that's all you like to play with that. Bai Shen said succinctly.

Li Yun praised this...

However, he soon said: "To be honest, you are really not qualified to condemn us, in mythology and history, which god is not shining and surrounded by force, and the legendary Ying Long is also born, with wings on his back, accompanied by strong winds and pouring water, for fear that others will not know that you are the king who has come to the world." ”

Bai Shen: "......"

"I... I didn't mean to... Born this way... I can't help it... I can't control my numbers!"

Bai Shen's eyes flickered, and his tone was weak.

Li Yun knows that after the legendary Ying Long came to the south, the wind and rain here were immediately smooth - the so-called wind and rain are smooth, which means that the wind and rain come when they should come, and they don't come when they shouldn't, and they can be controlled, and they will not be like a drought, completely unable to control the energy of their own explosion.

"Don't explain, explanation is a cover-up, you are so weak and still cover up. Li Yun couldn't cry or laugh, looking at Bai Shen who was in deep thought.

Bai Shen is now thinking about what black history he still hasn't dug up...

"This involves a very philosophical question, it may be that what seems meaningless to you is where the meaning lies, life, like being forced [beep], if you can't resist, just enjoy it. Liu Yanli yawned: "Actually, think about it carefully, aren't the leaders of the people also humanoid propaganda, you Elephant Head Mountain, Elephant Head Village, Sanqingguan is so awesome, even the city leaders can come over, old, when your business is booming, isn't it beautiful?"

"Actually, I prefer to be quieter..."

...

Before the time came, all kinds of people came to the Elephant Head Mountain Taoist Temple to step on the squatting point, and walked around to have a look, looking like they were afraid that they didn't know that there was a big man coming.

About half an hour later, a middle-aged man with a mighty and domineering face, like a superior person, came to the Taoist temple, and walked with a tigerish style and forceful spirit.

Good... Good shine...

He was surrounded by all sorts of people.

It's so imposing...

Many people around cast envious glances at the big guy, feeling that this person's life is really happy, and he is surrounded like this.

However, is this really the case?

There was a faint impatience on the face of this middle-aged man, but it was hidden very deeply, and only Li Yun and Bai Shen could feel it through [Qi].

He's annoying.

It's annoying to the people around me.

But he can't show it, he can only show it like he is now, with a kind smile on his eyebrows, and at the same time he looks majestic.

"He doesn't seem to have an easy time. Bai Shen sighed.

"No one is easy. ”

I treat it with a normal heart.

This middle-aged man did not enter the Taoist temple, but wandered on this mountain, admiring the beautiful scenery.

Elephant Head Mountain was not only purified of the corrupt qi, but also began to be [assimilated] by the Taoist temple, becoming like a fairyland.

As a result of this, Li Yun has some of the six senses of [mountain] and has obtained some of the functions of containing incense, which can be regarded as a genuine mountain god of Elephant Head Mountain.

On the contrary, Hanxiang also gained the [sense] of the Taoist temple, although she did not have command authority, she could feel that what was happening in which corner of the temple.

This kind of empathy is generally used when the little fox doesn't want to learn to run around and hide, and it can be pulled out by Hanxiang every time.

Learning makes people happy – and so are foxes.

"The more I look at it, the more pitiful it becomes, he just wants to climb a mountain, but he is watched like this, and he can't drive them away..." ”

"This is the [price], he has to face these things when he becomes a boss, and he himself should have this kind of awareness, he feels that the loss of some of his freedom can be exchanged for this, and it feels worthwhile, since he thinks it is worth it, then what qualifications do I have to feel sorry for him as someone else? What's more, he also got something that ordinary people can't get in a lifetime. Li Yun said with a smile.

As soon as Li Yun finished speaking, someone entered the Taoist temple.

Logically speaking, it doesn't matter who enters the Taoist temple, there are many pilgrims who come and go every day.

This man's steps into the Taoist temple were very slow, as if he was stuck in the mud.

Walk step by step.

It may be that after this step, there is no next step.

Tick Tick –

An old man, with a cane, entered the Taoist temple.

A withered figure, wrinkled dark skin like chicken skin, and a rickety waist.

He wears a plain white shirt with a white gown underneath.

But clear eyes.

The old man was tired of walking, came to the gazebo, and sat down directly.

His eyes were slightly closed, enjoying the breeze.

Seeing this, Li Yun handed the old man a cup of hot tea.

The old man was a little surprised, but finally smiled and took the hot tea.

"Thank you. ”

"Tea, the Taoist temple of the poor road has. Li Yun sat down with a smile and said, "But people like Jushi are not common. ”

The old man was stunned for a moment and said.

"It's just an old man, why should you let the Taoist be so concerned..."

"Yes, old man..."

Li Yun silently accompanied the old man to blow the wind here.

The old man also silently enjoyed this quiet peace.

Finally, he took out a chessboard from his small bag.

"Since we're both idle, let's play chess. ”

......

......

Li Yun did not refuse the old man's small request and began to play chess.

The chess is very old, and the handwriting on the wood has long been blurred, and some have even been redrawn.

You can feel the traces of time when you touch it.

Chess, like life.

Time has passed, and there is no way back.

Arch the troops.

The old man's hand was very slow, and Li Yun was not in a hurry, waiting silently for the old man who was about to make a move every time.

I have to say that although the old man's body has decayed, his thinking is still quite clear, and he is on a par with Li Yun...

To put it simply, rookies peck each other...

"Actually, I don't have to let me, an old man, I can still afford to lose. ”

"Poor Dao relies on his youth, and his thinking is faster than you, which is already the upper hand, and he doesn't let it go. ”

I can't say it.

Li Yun couldn't say it at all, in fact, he was such a dish.

The old man was very happy playing chess.

I haven't had that much fun in a long time.

"Actually, do you know that playing chess with me, a bad old man, is actually better to go to the mountains, accompany that guy to see the scenery, look at the landscape, maybe, what benefits will fall on you, he is a real nobleman. The old man's expression was serious, without any deception: "You are very good, play chess with me, it's not worth it." ”

Li Yun took a sip of tea and said indifferently: "Whether you are a noble person or not, for individuals, for Poor Dao, he is not a nobleman, and Poor Dao does not have to accompany him, on the contrary, Poor Dao is more willing to accompany the layman to play chess, which can make Poor Dao happy and happy." ”

"You kid, you're not ordinarily funny. ”

"The so-called life, isn't the pursuit of fun? ”

The old man laughed again, this time out loud.

The laughter was mixed with a few coughs.

Li Yun wielded the dust whisk and relieved the old man's pain with a spell.

"Thank you..."

The old man didn't believe in strange powers.

subconsciously thanked Li Yun.

He himself didn't know why.

"Not necessarily. ”

"Happy, happy, I'm really happy to meet a young man like the little Taoist, it's not in vain, it's not in vain haha..." ”

Unlike ordinary pilgrims, he did not enter the Taoist temple to offer incense.

"Why didn't he come in and put on a bouquet of incense before leaving?" Hanxiang looked at the old man's weak back.

"Because he doesn't believe in demons or gods. Li Yun pointed at him and said: "He, he is the ghost and god in the world, he is the big man who came on this trip, and the one who went up the mountain is to cover for him." ”

"No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a big man, it's memediocre, I don't think he needs to cover at all. Liu Yanli shrugged her shoulders while eating melons, not thinking that the old man was a big man.

Even if he was a big man in the past, he was old like this, he was not like everyone, he had no temperament at all, and he would not be looked at if he was thrown into the crowd.

Li Yun looked at the old man who was gradually moving away and said indifferently.

Maybe he didn't know that he had long been forgotten by time. ”

......

"I met a very interesting Taoist priest today..."The old man laughed and hummed a song, and when he returned home, he was in a good mood.

"Well, interesting Taoist priest. The middle-aged man suddenly complained: "Teacher, let me do less of this kind of thing in the future, I'm really afraid of those people." ”

"Haha, I was scared when I was younger, but now I'm not afraid... After all, they only remember you, they don't remember me, and I didn't expect it, but it's good if they don't remember me, and it's good if they don't remember me, haha, it's the best news I got today. The old man sat on the easy chair, his body swaying, so leisurely: "The wind in the Taoist temple is more comfortable, the wind in this courtyard always feels like it wants to blow away my old bones." ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man suddenly became calm, gritted his teeth, and clenched his hands.

"yes, why do they only remember me and not you... Obviously, you should be the one who should be remembered the most, why do those hypocritical and dirty guys only remember me, I... Unconvinced..."

Why...

Why is it that I am remembered...

The two of them appear at the same time, but they ignore their own teacher...

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man's heart began to block.

Uncomfortable, want to cry.

"Hehe, if you are known by people outside, I'm afraid it will be directly called an excuse to be attacked, just say it in front of me, don't say it outside. The old man suddenly stopped laughing, and said with a serious expression: "I'm serious... Promise me to give up on that. ”

"I..."

The middle-aged man was depressed.

The old man has a point.

He can only roar here twice.

He can't change his opinion on the outside, let alone say it.

Once he said it, he would definitely be seriously implicated, even his own teacher.

Why is it forgotten?

After all, it's just because you don't have to remember it anymore...

"It's better to let the old man be quiet and quiet, forget it, forget it. ”

"Some things can be forgotten, and some things must not work, such as you, teacher. The middle-aged man took a deep breath and said, "No matter who forgets you, I will never forget it, forget your contribution to this country, always..."

"You're too serious, calm, calm. ”

The old man continued to enjoy the afternoon.

Looking at the relaxed and leisurely old man, the middle-aged man couldn't help but relax.

Since the old man doesn't bother about this, why should he bother himself?

Perhaps, this is the life that the old man wants.

Some of the original troubles disappeared, at least temporarily, leaving behind the troubles of the world.

By the time the old man opened his eyes, the middle-aged man was gone.

The entire compound was left with only the old man himself.

Empty, without family.

It was originally empty.

From here to now, it is empty.

How I wish the house wasn't empty.

It's just a pity that this is an unfulfilled wish.

The old man felt that his thinking was getting slower and slower.

The movements, the pace, are getting weaker and weaker day by day.

The old man vaguely guessed his current physical condition.

"It's a pity..."

Forcing himself to stand up, the old man opened the worn-out map in his hand.

Carefully preserved, redrawn over and over again the map ....

In a place marked on the red dot, the old man looked up and hesitated for a moment.

"After all, I still have to go back and see. ”
