The osmanthus flowers are gone, and the wine is washed.

Lao Dao and Qin Chuan skillfully followed the previous process, meticulously put the osmanthus into the altar, used the collected rainwater and thin mud, kneaded a few times, and then sealed the mouth of the altar, put it in the corner of the kitchen, and waited for the moisture of time.

The years do not change the old face, and the green mountains see the green mountains again. After a year's work, it's the season of waiting.

Lao Dao's hands were covered with mud, but he didn't mind the mud in his hands, looking at Qin Chuan, who was frightened, he sighed and said: "I was the same as you before, I was also full of curiosity about the martial arts rivers and lakes, seeing that the strong are omnipotent, and my heart is also extremely yearning, but when I really saw the first dead person, my heart was also panicked, and I had a disgust for this martial arts rivers and lakes, do you know why?"

Qin Chuan probably recovered from the shock and wiped the mud off his face with his cuffs, but there was a lot of scattered hair in his hair, but he didn't mind. Qin Chuan looked at the old Tao and asked as if puzzled: "This martial arts powerhouse, he has a secret book of miraculous ability, he can fly to the sky and escape to the earth, and wherever he goes, he is admired by the people, what's wrong? As a man, if he can't make contributions in the martial arts rivers and lakes and gain some fame, then how can he come to the world to go through it? Isn't it a shame to the world." ”

Lao Dao said: "The so-called fame, but is a passing cloud, there were many strong people in this world, are well-known figures, now it seems, in addition to having a few feet high clay statues, with engraved names in the ranks, every New Year, there are many people kowtow and salute, in addition, what is there? ”

As soon as the old Taoist finished speaking, Qin Chuan took over: "Becoming a martial arts powerhouse, you can cut off the injustices in the world, and exchange for peace in all generations, isn't this what you cultivators want?"

"No, no. You can't see the injustices in the world, and you always want to stand out for others, so you rely on some means to realize the so-called punishment of evil and promotion of good in your heart, but this distinction between good and good, how can it be so easy, if it is a wrong step, it is a wrong step. It's no easier than drinking and eating. Lao Dao continued to look at Qin Chuan, and said without any hurry, at this moment, this yellow-toothed old Dao wearing shabby Taoist clothes only had a little taste of the master of Ma Taling Mountain.

When Qin Chuan heard Lao Dao's words, he still asked puzzledly: "The difference between good and good, what's so difficult about this?"

Seeing this, Lao Dao asked with a smile: "Then tell me, what is good and what is evil?"

Qin Chuan pointed to the deep mountains and dense forests and said: "The robbers and bandits among them are evil, bullying the weak with the strength of a strong man; this young person is evil, he has a complete body, but he can't do the right thing; the gambling house owner is evil, and he uses a plan to set up a situation and make countless people bankrupt." Such an act is evil!"

When Lao Dao heard this, he didn't refute it, and motioned for Qin Chuan to continue.

Qin Chuan smelled the fragrance of osmanthus and continued: "The gentleman who teaches is good, preaches and receives karma to solve doubts, and is also a teacher; The healer who hangs the pot to help the world is good, diagnoses people, and eliminates disasters for people, and in my opinion, these are good. ”

When Lao Dao heard this, he shook his head, but he continued to ask: "If that robber and bandit can do such a despicable thing because the taxes are too heavy, if the young man is seriously ill and can't do anything about farming, if that gambler can keep his heart and not go to the gambling house." Then I ask you, this evil you are talking about, but it is evil?"

Without waiting for Qin Chuan to speak, Lao Dao continued to ask: "If the gentleman who teaches has the talent to govern the country, but would rather die in the wilderness; if this doctor who hangs a pot to help the world only diagnoses the sick of the rich and noble, then you say, this is good, but it is good?"

Qin Chuan was still puzzled, what was the connection between what Lao Dao said and the martial arts rivers and lakes: "These ordinary people have no power to restrain chickens, and they have no access to the martial arts rivers and lakes. I do what is right in my heart, and I don't care what others say. ”

When Lao Dao heard Qin Chuan's answer, he felt that Qin Chuan had not understood what he meant, and after thinking for a while, he still shook his head and said: "I have gone through the martial arts rivers and lakes for decades, walked all over the mountains and rivers of Longguo, and also traveled to neighboring countries. In the eyes of the world, the big sect has been there a few times, but it is nothing more than that. The older you get, the more you have seen a lot of strange people and strange things, and the more you know that this martial arts rivers and lakes are not just fighting and killing, but the martial arts rivers and lakes you think, let alone you live and die, like this, everyone is going crazy, looking for genius treasures, looking for secrets, and for this reason, they do not hesitate to fight, stirring up the peace of this martial arts rivers and lakes, so that the people will tremble when they see martial arts practitioners, no matter whether it is right or wrong, they dare not resist in the slightest. You say, is this the martial arts you imagined?"

Qin Chuan replied: "But if I don't enter the martial arts rivers and lakes, it will be like I am a fish and a sword, every time I watch a martial arts practitioner pass by, I am afraid that the flying sword will cut at me, and I have no power to fight back, even if I have the ambition not to fall into the clouds, but I am helpless, I don't want to live such a humiliating life." ”

Lao Dao said, "You don't need to deliberately look for this martial arts river, because we are in it, and you don't need to deliberately ask for your so-called Dao, you can just feel it with your heart." ”

Qin Chuan asked thoughtfully: "Although I am young, I also understand something, I know that you are very disappointed in the martial arts rivers and lakes, but you have no choice but to live in a corner." ”

Lao Dao smiled and said: "You are wrong, I am not disgusted with the martial arts rivers and lakes, I am just looking for an opportunity to enter the rivers and lakes again, before this, I need to complete some things, you have promised, you want to help me." ”

When Qin Chuan heard this, he said with a smile: "I remember this, but what you said, if you can't beat it, you can run." Where there is life, there is hope. ”

On the top of the mountain in this autumn, although there are bursts of warm sun on the body, after all, the mountain is high, and the mud in their hands has not yet dried, and the hands and feet of the two of them began to get cold.

Lao Dao didn't know what he was distressed about, he grinned his teeth and thought for a long time, and finally wiped his hands with the fallen pine needles, and said to Qin Chuan: "Rabbit cub, go under my bed, bring a few jars of osmanthus wine sealed last year, and we will drink it today." ”

There is such a good thing, Qin Chuan is full of smiles, but he is still puzzled, why is the old Tao so abnormal today, isn't it that he was frightened by almost falling off the cliff before? So Qin Chuan opened his mouth and asked: "The osmanthus wine under this bed, but you have treasured it for many years, when we were short of wine before, the mouth was unbearable, but I could only get close and smell a trace of the aroma of wine, for me, it is already satisfied, therefore, this osmanthus wine has never really been opened, can you say, this old wine is fragrant, can I only wait for me to become an adult before drinking?" Why can't I wait now? ”

Lao Dao looked at the sunlight even more, stood up and said: "Today's major event must drink osmanthus wine." Let's drink a few jars, and when we come back, we'll drink again. ”
