20, the path of cultivation is also mortal
When Wu Zhong and the others came to the room, they saw that the place was covered with dust, and it was really uninhabitable. Wu Zhong wanted to try to clean up, but the bedding was already full of dust, and he really didn't know where to start.
The kid standing outside the door was looking around from time to time with his head down, his hands crossed a little nervously. Sometimes there is a nervous shaking, which does not seem very normal.
"You wait here for a while, I'll go find someone. Wu Zhong said to him. He still doesn't know what the other party's name is.
The boy didn't answer, but he didn't leave him. Wu Zhong didn't say much when he saw this, and let him follow.
After many searches, Wu Zhong finally found a person. This man is a young man, dressed better than the person who led them, better than the sprinkler boy, and looks like he should be a doorman. Wu Zhong thought to himself.
"This Daoist brother, I'm sorry. My name is Wu Zhong, are you a member of the Lanling Xiao Clan?" Wu Zhong stepped forward and said.
The man looked up and said expressionlessly, "What's the matter with you?"
"I'm really sorry to disturb you, but the residence of the two of us is really uninhabitable, so I want to ask Brother Dao to help find someone in charge to help us change places. Wu Zhong said
The man looked at Wu Zhong and said softly, "Don't you know how to clean it yourself?"
Wu Zhong was stunned by the words of the person in front of him, but after all, he had a request for someone, so he really couldn't get angry, so he had to swallow his anger and said: "That's the case, the bedding in the room is already covered with dust, and we can't do it even if we clean it." So I want to ask Brother Dao for help. ”
"This matter is not under my jurisdiction, you can go to Steward Xu if there is anything. With that, he turned and left.
"We needed clean rooms and needed to sleep. Then the boy spoke.
The man looked at him and said, "What does this have to do with me?"
"We needed clean rooms and needed to sleep. The boy said it again.
The man laughed and said, "Where you live or where you sleep has nothing to do with me, and I don't have time to talk to you right now." ”
"We are indeed in trouble, and we have come to ask for your help when we see you here. Although we have asked for something, but is it too much for your family to act like this? It is rumored that the Lanling Xiao clan has always been gentle to others, but Your Excellency is like this, and the words are full of disdain, so it is inevitable that the Lanling Xiao clan has lost some face, right?" Wu Zhong said.
"Heh, I didn't expect you to care about our face as an outsider, do you really regard this place as your own home?" the man said, "What's more, what does Xiao's face have to do with me? After saying that, he brushed his sleeves away, not giving anyone else a chance to speak at all.
Wu Zhong looked at the back of that person, and couldn't help but be angry in his heart, he didn't expect that there would be such a person in the dignified Lanling Xiao Clan, let alone talk like this. Although he was angry, he was still helpless.
The two stood in the corridor, looking around, there was no figure, and their hearts were really depressed. At this time, a Taoist boy came from a distance and walked quickly in the direction of the two.
"I heard that the two Taoist friends had something to do, and the juniors came to solve it for the two. Dao Tong said.
Wu Zhong was originally angry in his heart, but when he heard this, his heart suddenly subsided by half. This Dao Tong came directly, and it must have been something that the man helped to say just now. But looking at the situation just now, it really doesn't look like it will help.
Wu Zhong looked at the direction in which the man disappeared, and thought in his heart, it seems that the person had encountered something just now, so he would speak like this.
"We needed clean rooms and needed to sleep. The boy said again.
Dao Tong heard it clearly, and hurriedly replied: "I see, the two of you came from afar, so we didn't greet us well, I'm really sorry." I'll take them two to rest. With that, he led the two to another guest room.
"You two have a good rest, if you need anything, you can call me and others. We'll be there right away. Dao Tong said respectfully.
Wu Zhong looked here, it was indeed clean, and the layout was also exquisite, compared to the one just now, it was like mud.
Just as Dao Tong was about to leave, Wu Zhong grabbed him.
"How do you know we need to change rooms? Who called you?"
Xiao Daotong said with a smile: "Just now I was cleaning in Xiyuan, and I met Captain Xiao Rong of the inspection team, and he called me here. ”
Wu Zhong hurriedly thanked him, and Xiao Daotong said that there would be food delivered later, so he left.
Wu Zhong returned to the room and found that the child was already sitting on a bed, in the same posture as just now, still with his head bowed and very restrained.
When Wu Zhong saw this, he didn't want to disturb him, so he lay down on another bed to rest
Cease.
"My name is Goofy. ”
Wu Zhongzheng was in a daze when he suddenly heard such a sentence. He looked around and saw that there was no one else but the child.
Wu Zhong sat up, pointed at himself, and said, "Are you talking to me?"
The kid nodded vigorously, "Yes." ”
"Hello, my name is Wu Zhong. Wu Zhong said with a smile.
Goofy snorted, and there was no follow-up.
When Wu Zhong saw this, he really had some doubts in his heart, so he said, "You... ”
"I have autism. Gao Fei said, nodding as he spoke, but his eyes did not look at Wu Zhong.
Wu Zhong suddenly realized that although he was not familiar with autism, there were also children in the orphanage who suffered from this disease. It's just that unlike him, his parents don't talk to people for many years, but Gao Fei looks a little strange, and he is generally good, and he thinks it's an introvert if he doesn't know.
"How do you know what I'm going to say?" Wu Zhong asked with a smile.
The corners of Goofy's mouth rose, although he looked happy, but there was still no trace of emotion in his words: "Because I was born with his heart." ”
Wu Zhong immediately felt powerful when he heard this, this kind of supernatural power, as the name suggests, is to be able to understand what the other party is thinking, even if the other party has concealed it in words, but it is useless in front of this supernatural power. This supernatural power has been recorded in many sects, but there are very few people who can cultivate it, not to mention that Gao Fei is still innate, and it is even more expensive.
"I can't read, everybody's, thoughts. Sometimes there is no way to cultivate, high, or some. Goofy said with great difficulty, apparently this sentence had been in his mind for a long time.
"That's amazing, at least you still have this talent, like me, nothing, nothing. Wu Zhong laughed at himself.
"You, different. Goofy said with his head down.
"Hehe, what's different about me?" Wu Zhong said, "Tell me about it." ”
Goofy shook his head vigorously: "I don't know, intuition. ”
Wu Zhong smiled and did not speak.
The two fell into calm again. Fortunately, it didn't take long for someone to bring the food.
After the two of them had eaten, Wu Zhong saw that the time was not early, so he prepared to rest. But Goofy still sat in the place he had just sat and didn't say a word.
"Aren't you sleeping?" Wu Zhong said.
Gao Fei pulled the corners of his mouth and nodded nervously: "Sleep." After saying that, he lay down on the bed, covered with a quilt, and remained motionless.
Wu Zhong casually took an aura, turned off the light, turned around and fell asleep. But Goofy still maintained his original position, staring at the ceiling, without the slightest hint of sleep.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the next morning. Wu Zhong got up before dawn and looked at Gao Fei, but found that no one was gone, the bedding had been cleaned up, and there was no one who had slept all night.
Wu Zhong saw that there was no one around, so he walked out of the door, jumped over, landed lightly on the roof, and began to cultivate.
As soon as he fell, he found someone around him, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be Gao Fei.
"Didn't you sleep?" Wu Zhong asked.
"I'm cultivating. Goofy said.
As soon as Wu Zhong heard it, he knew what the other party meant, so he stopped talking. I also started today's morning meditation.
Lanling Xiao Clan, the area is a huge mountain forest, at this time the surroundings have been shrouded in dense fog, the aura is scattered, and sure enough, it is a fairy scene. The ancients: The cave is full of ravines, and the distant descendants are flat. That's probably what it looks like.
In a short time, the sky was already glowing with white light, and the heavy night was gradually alternating with the morning light, and soon, the distant eastern sky was already alive with a red sun.
At this time, I saw that there were people everywhere, all of whom were struggling with this breath of purple qi of the rising sun. This purple qi is different from the usual aura, and its efficacy is very important for a cultivator. Whenever you break through the level, you will need this bit of accumulated purple qi to protect your mind and beware of being invaded by outsiders. If not, the light ones will fall short, and the heavy ones will die.
By the time the morning sun had risen, the red light had turned into yellow and clear, and the people around them had descended one after another to start today's events. When the two of them returned to the room, breakfast had been placed, a plate of green vegetables, a bowl of porridge, a steamed bun, and a small portion of pickles. It's not very rich, but it can easily whet people's appetite and give the eater a moment of satisfaction.
"Fellow Daoists, please pay attention, after breakfast, please come here to gather, we are going to go to the Taihe Palace, the family master, the elders and the masters are already waiting there. Someone outside said.
When Wu Zhong heard this, he devoured the steamed buns in his hand, drank a few mouthfuls of white porridge, and was about to go out, but saw Gao Fei still chewing there slowly.
Wu Zhong was suddenly a little anxious in his heart: "Hurry up, there are already people outside." ”
Gao Fei nodded again and again, and finally choked on the porridge a few times, and couldn't help coughing violently. Seeing this, Wu Zhong hurriedly stepped forward to appease, and at the same time blamed himself in his heart, the other party was a child after all, not to mention that he also suffered from autism, he shouldn't have spoken like this.
"You eat slowly, I'll sit down and wait for you. Wu Zhong said.
When Goofy heard this, he slowed down and resumed eating. By the time he had finished eating, there were already people standing outside. The leader waited for everyone to come out, and then walked out with everyone.
The place where Wu Zhong and the others lived was called Dongqing Garden, and it was specially inhabited by foreign guests and monks like them who had been recruited.
Coming out of the main gate, walking towards the west, after a short time, I encountered a fork in the road, and the leader turned right and walked towards the main hall in the distance due north. Wu Zhong looked around. The red walls and green tiles, the carved beams and painted buildings where they passed, the occasional sweeping boy passing by, and the people who looked like ancient waitresses walked around with things they didn't know what they were. After this walk, Wu Zhong felt that even the Forbidden City was not much more magnificent than this. And those Daotong maids, even if they met Wu Zhong and these people face-to-face, they didn't look up, let alone stop to watch, and the rules here can be seen.
