Lao Dao looked at Qin Chuan carrying the pot, and just shook his head helplessly and said: "Carry the pot, just carry the pot, you can be happy, but you can't carry it on the road, don't let me help." ”

When Qin Chuan heard this, he said with a little grievance: "As long as you dare to promise, even if you would rather be hungry on the road, you will not eat the food I cooked." Otherwise, if I can't carry this cooking pot, you still have to help with it. After all, this is our dinner guy, if the thief is concerned, where can we find it?"

This character who travels and brings his own cooking pot is expected to be an old man for decades, and he has only seen Qin Chuan. Thinking of this, Lao Dao still said happily: "It's okay, people are more important than pots, if the martial arts thieves are worried, with me, I can protect you." Let's go, take advantage of the autumn and go for a walk in the martial arts rivers and lakes. After Lao Dao finished speaking, he stood around the guardrail of the cliff, watching the sun gradually appear from the east, and couldn't help but be full of pride.

Qin Chuan took a closer look at it, Lao Daoxin changed his life's robe, re-tied his hair, and his beard, which was usually stained with oil flowers and wine stains, was also carefully washed. Qin Chuan thought, this time when he went out to see the old man, he was indeed dressed up a lot more energetically. Lao Dao still carried the sword box with many traces behind him, and there was a large cloth bag hanging beside him, presumably with a change of clothes, and on the waist on the left and right sides, there was a suona on one side and a wine bag on the other. For Lao Dao, on the one hand, it is a livelihood to eat, and on the other hand, it is life.

Qin Chuan saw Lao Dao leaning against the guardrail, and couldn't help but jokingly say: "Lao Dao, you were drunk last night, I don't know if you woke up from the wine, don't get too close to the railing, be careful of falling down." ”

When Lao Dao heard this, he yelled at the empty mountains: "The world is long, the tide rises and falls, there are old people in the present dynasty, there will be tourists in the rivers and lakes, endure the clouds and cover their eyes, why not be afraid of coming over!" ”

The farmer who was harvesting in the autumn not far away seemed to hear something, raised his head and looked around at no one, so he said to himself: "Which melon peel is this shouting? With this leisure and elegance, it is better to help me harvest more rice." ”

Deep in the mountains and dense forests, a group of martial arts cultivators passed by, and they also heard this sound, slowed down and stopped, and the leading eldest brother paused when he heard the echo in the mountain, and said to the surrounding cultivators: "This person is definitely a master, there is a little Taoist meaning in his voice, I am afraid that it is quite difficult, let's leave this place quickly, so as not to startle the snake." ”

"Yes, big brother". The other martial arts cultivators replied simply, and hurried in the other direction.

Lao Dao is standing on the edge of the cliff at this moment, his whole body is reflected in the sun, and the sword box has elongated the shadow, if it is not for the suona pinned to his waist, otherwise it really looks like a fairy wind bone.

Seeing this, Qin Chuan urged beside him: "Are you good at absorbing the aura of the sun and the moon, otherwise, according to your temperament, you will have to wait for a while, why don't I go and sleep for a while, so as not to doze off halfway." You don't know how dangerous the vine ladder is. ”

Lao Dao turned around and said very happily: "Go, go now." With that, he hurried towards the vine ladder.

Qin Chuan followed behind, shouting anxiously: "Aren't you closing this door?

The old Taoist didn't look back, and said directly into the air: "You go to the gate, today you are also a disciple of Guanzhong." ”

Hearing this, Qin Chuan walked towards the main hall, and said to the clay statue of the ancestor again: "Hey, I said, your disciple is too rude, and he didn't even say goodbye to you before leaving, but fortunately, I am a generation disciple." We said before, you keep me and Lao Dao safe, and I will come back to give you osmanthus wine to drink. Otherwise, hehe......"

After Qin Chuan saluted, he turned around and closed the door of the main hall, and at this moment, the sunlight was dazzling, and on the face of the ancestral master's clay statue, which should have been blurred, a face was actually displayed, although it was not clear, but it could also be identified as a man.

......

A Taoist temple in the capital, has always been a place patronized by the saints, its contemplator often debates Taoism with the sage, often has a policy of governing the country, and the words of the world, therefore, this contemplation has won the trust of the sage, in this prosperous capital of every inch of land, there is a huge Taoist temple, in the eyes of others, it has been thanks to the grace of the saint. If many dignitaries and dignitaries are passing by, they will come here to pay homage to the Lord, hoping that he will say a few kind words in front of the saints.

Seeing this scene, the master of the temple folded left and right, pinched the trick with both hands, and in less than a moment, he spit out a mouthful of blood, and the disciples who were standing outside the door to guard heard the sound and hurriedly ran in.

"Master, what's going on?" The man with the jade pendant on his waist is the disciple of this Guan Lord, and Su Changxin, who is also known as a disciple of the Taoist Temple in the capital, and he was born with a dignified appearance and elegant manners.

Every New Year, the Taoist temple is opened, and ordinary people can also enter this Taoist temple to pray for blessings, but many of them come to the girl's family, just a special trip to Su Changxin's demeanor.

And at this moment, Su Changxin, a rare Daomen in the eyes of the world, bowed his head respectfully at this moment and asked the master who was in the valley.

At this time, the viewer took the silk segment, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, waved his hand and said: "Just now, I was desperate to lose some longevity, peeking at the heavenly machine, and vaguely saw an appearance, which made me uneasy. In this way, it seems that his descendants are still alive, and it is even possible that they will come to this capital, and if the luck of my country is stolen by this person, then the foreign countries will surely come to attack, and the safety of the saint will not be guaranteed, and the people of Li will live in misery. This son has to be guarded against. ”

Su Changxin still didn't dare to raise his head, and replied respectfully: "Master, you may be able to see where this person is? I can leave at any time." Su Changxin's meaning is obvious.

The viewer shook his head, and said with a loss: "Fang Cai lost Shouyuan, only to know that this descendant is still alive, as for which direction, this is impossible to know, but since the descendant is still alive, he will inevitably come to the capital in the future, let's just wait, and there will naturally be news coming." ”

"Yes, master. Su Changxin was about to get up and leave.

"Su Changxin, Daomen Nine-Story Building, how many floors have you reached?" asked the viewer with his eyes closed at the moment.

"Back to the master's words, I went to Dengyun Tower a few days ago. Su Changxin knelt down again, still respectfully replying.

The viewer smiled with satisfaction, and praised repeatedly: "Yes, I am only eighteen years old, but I can go to Dengyun Tower, and there is hope for the revival of my Daomen." ”

Su Changxin replied without humility or arrogance: "The master has won the award, and the apprentice knows that his cultivation qualifications are dull, so he does not dare to slack off. ”

Guan Zhu closed his eyes, ready to continue Bigu, but in a blink of an eye, his expression became indifferent, with a flick of a finger, he extinguished the oil lamp that had just been lit, and said slowly to Su Changxin: "If there is any whereabouts of that person, report it immediately." When necessary, people above the temple can be asked to help. ”

"Yes, the apprentice is leaving. Su Changxin slowly got up and retreated, until he went out of the door, and closed the door gently before daring to turn around. Suddenly, I found that I was already sweating profusely, and I sorted out my clothes with my hands before leaving. In this Taoist temple, Su Changxin was not wearing a Taoist robe, but was wearing the cloth clothes and shoes of ordinary people in the capital, but at this moment, he still looked dignified, and he was really a man who fascinated the women of the capital.

Su Changxin walked slowly through the dojo, passing by several courtyards, and then he was about to go out of the door, and several Taoist children guarding the door next to him saw this person wearing cloth clothes and entering and exiting at will, ready to interrogate, one of the Taoist children couldn't help but ask happily: "Senior Brother Su, are you going to go out?" ”

Su Changxin glanced around, and said to the doorman: "Be careful when you speak, if you let the other senior brothers hear it, you will definitely say that you have messed up your Dao heart at a young age, and you will inevitably be punished when the time comes." ”

Hearing what Su Changxin said, the little Taoist boy stuck out his tongue and said, "Senior Brother Su is different from them, he always speaks for us. If the other senior brothers were here, I wouldn't dare to make such a joke. ”

Su Changxin was still angry and said: "There are many people, it's better to be careful." There are many pedestrians coming and going, so don't let the idle people disturb the cleanliness of the door. Then he paid no attention to the crowd and went away alone.

This Dao Tong, who had just spoken to Su Changxin, boasted to the others: "You newcomers, I'm afraid you don't know that this Senior Brother Su Changxin, with his cultivation, crowns the Taixu Palace, and among the younger generation, he is the most promising person to step into the Nine-Story Building, so whether it is the Lord of the Audience or the elders, he has already tacitly acquiesced in his heart that he is a disciple of the Taixu Palace, and he only needs to choose the auspicious day of the zodiac to announce the Daomen." This is a great honor for Taoist cultivators to be able to become disciples. ”

The disciples of Taoism are the closed disciples of the Lord, and over time, they will inevitably be the next generation of Masters.

A few Taoist children next to him heard that they were probably newcomers, and they were also surprised to hear this, they couldn't imagine that such a person was fortunate to see it today, and it was quite gentle.

I saw that there was a plaque on the top of the heads of these Taoist children, with the three words Taixu Palace written on it, which was shining with gold and was particularly dazzling.

It turned out that this was Chen Zhenren's place of practice, and it was also the blessed land of Taoism that many martial arts practitioners hoped for.

......

Lao Dao and Qin Chuan just got off the vine ladder at this moment, it was really easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, although the sun was shining this morning, and the vines were no longer slippery, but the two of them were carrying heavy objects, if it wasn't for the vines around their waists, they went to the hole halfway to rest for a while, and they were afraid that they would really fall under this cliff.

When he arrived at the flat ground, Qin Chuan untied the vines around his waist, shook off his hands, and kept complaining: "It's so dangerous today, my hands have almost no strength, and I almost can't get to the bottom of this cliff." Old Dao, why do you breathe and breathe everything normally, I'm afraid you didn't use some kind of talisman to help? Then you are really not authentic, and you don't give me such good things. ”

When the old Taoist heard this, he said angrily: "Nonsense, how can this vine ladder stump me and other cultivators. As he spoke, he took out his wine bag and took a big sip.

Qin Chuan smelled the smell of wine, and said in surprise: "I said, the aroma of this wine is familiar, it turns out that you brought osmanthus wine down." ”

Lao Dao threw the wine bag to Qin Chuan, and said with some reluctance: "Before leaving, I was reluctant to take this taste, so I filled the wine bag and brought it down, rabbit cub, only a small sip is allowed, otherwise, we will be addicted to alcohol if we can't get to Qingzhou City." ”

Qin Chuan took a sip lightly, and said with satisfaction: "The first place we traveled here is to go to this Qingzhou City?", and then handed the wine bag to Lao Dao.

Lao Dao took Qin Chuan's wine bag and pinned it to his waist, sorted out his robe and said: "Yes, on this trip, let's go to Pingyangfang in Qingzhou City first to see how the down-and-out scholar struggles to survive, and how the carp jumps over the dragon gate." ”

When Qin Chuan heard Pingyangfang, he looked at his robe again, and said indignantly: "My robe is about as big as yours, and it doesn't fit at all, I think it was the shopkeeper who bullied me for not knowing the goods, and gave me the robe that others had returned, and this time I will definitely come to the door to ask for justice." ”

Lao Dao looked at Qin Chuan, and also laughed and said, "It's really fun for villains to wear coats." ”

Qin Chuan sorted out his luggage at the bottom of the cliff, tied the iron pot again, ignored the old way, and walked forward without saying a word, probably a little angry.

Lao Dao shook his head self-deprecatingly, and followed behind the withered yellow blades of grass.

The two walked for a long time one after the other, seeing that the sky was almost dark, the old Taoist looked at the four directions and said: "This autumn day is dark fast, before you walk a few steps, the sky will be dark, or the old saying, rather get up early in the morning, not rush the night road, there is a leeward place in front, rest here tonight." ”

Qin Chuan looked at it with the eyes of the old way, there was a mountain range in front of him, thinking that it was too late tonight, it would be better to take a rest, so he agreed and walked forward.

The two of them crossed the mountain, and some firelight came, and they found from a distance that this was the guy from the dart bureau transporting darts, and they were gathering together to warm up the fire. Qin Chuan frowned and said: "Old Dao, this dart game is a dart, rest here tonight, it must be inappropriate for us to go over so rashly, why don't we rest in another place?"

Lao Dao muttered: "Change a place to rest? Look around, except here, how can there be a warm place to rest, this mountain is cold, if you don't find a leeward place, how can you feel the wind cold? Besides, the night is getting late, and we don't have torches, so we can't hurry." ”

When Qin Chuan heard this, he thought about it for a while, so he said: "Then let's talk about it, if the people in the dart game don't agree, let's take a few more steps and see if we can find another place to rest, otherwise it's not good to have a conflict." ”

Lao Dao touched his beard and said to Qin Chuan with a smile: "Don't worry, you can't beat it, just run away." ”

The two of them did not shy away from walking towards the people of the dart board, the guards of the dart board were obviously on guard, the whistle in their mouths spread throughout the valley, and next to the mule cart transporting goods, several resting people also stood up, but they staggered, obviously looking strange.

In this deep mountain and dense forest, two people from the Dao Gate, an old man and a young man, suddenly appeared, and they swaggered over, which made everyone in the dart game have to feel strange.

Lao Dao was the first to speak, and said with his hands folded: "Everyone, I went to Qingzhou City with the inferior gangsters, it was getting late, passing by here, I want to take a rest here, and I hope you will make it convenient!"

If someone goes to Qingzhou City, ordinary people must be going to the avenue, why is it impartial, and they meet the people of the dart bureau who are walking on the path, which makes the people of the dart bureau very puzzled.

A man with gray hair and a beard on his face spoke: "Dao Chief, it's not that it's inconvenient, it's just that we are deeply entrusted and have to guard against it, the rules of the dart game, the iron order on the road, the Dao Chief can't help it, please find another place, please Haihan." "This is probably the head of the dart game, and the rejection is very obvious.

Seeing this, Lao Dao replied without being angry: "The brother next to the mule cart is standing and shaking, I'm afraid it's because of the miasma, right?"

When the brothers of the dart bureau heard this, they all pulled out their weapons and pointed at the old way, and they couldn't help muttering to themselves in their hearts, and they could see at a glance that this strange dart game brother was caused by miasma, and this old way and Taoist boy must be strange.
