Chapter Seventy-Five: Night Tour
After drawing the talisman all day, it was already dark outside, and Mu Qingming planned to go out for a walk. www.biquge.info I don't know how about Xiao Duo and You Liansheng, I don't know how these two guys are, they have been together for so long, and they are still a little uncomfortable not seeing each other for a day! Although Xiao Duo is a person from the Soul Worship Sect, Xiao Duo inexplicably decided to travel the world with Mu You and the others, and after getting along for so long, Xiao Duo is still a very important friend to Mu Qingming. As for You Liansheng, this guy has a mysterious aura, and since he appeared inexplicably in Baishi Mountain in Maple Town, he has been mixed with Mu Qingming, what secrets You Liansheng has Mu Qingming doesn't want to know, and no matter what the origin and purpose of You Liansheng is, it's just a friend.
Mu Qingming was about to go out, when he heard someone knocking on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was Youlian Sheng and Xiao Duo holding Lingzi.
You Liansheng patted Mu Qingming's shoulder and said, "Let's go, go out for a walk, you have been drawing talismans since the morning, as far as I know, drawing talismans is very mentally draining, just go out and have a look, relax." ”
Xiao Duo nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Yes, yes, we should have had a good time sleeping in the open these days." I've heard that there are a lot of snacks sold along the river. ”
There is a small river that crosses the town of Causeway, and the lives of the residents of Causeway Town are closely related to this small river, but the river does not have a name, and the local residents call this river a small river.
Now the moonlight is just right, there are a lot of slowly moving boats on the river at the moment, each boat is lit up, there are many happy and elegant sons and brothers holding folding fans, standing on the boat shaking their heads and chanting poems, and then looking into the distance to make a graceful appearance, in fact, at this time they are peeking at those girls in their prime with their afterglow. This appearance made some little girls who were in love with the shore laugh for a while, and those boys and brothers showed their talents even harder when they saw this.
Xiao Duo ate with four rock sugar gourds in both hands, and didn't care about the lively scenes around her at all. Lingzi was already thrown aside by her, and now Lingzi is following Xiaoduo dejectedly, and it is also helpless to meet such a greedy master.
Youlian was born rich and handsome, Mu Qingming was also handsome and dressed in a green shirt, Xiao Duo was definitely a little beauty, and followed by a weird little beast, these three people were quite eye-catching on the street. However, Mu Qingming didn't care about the surrounding eyes at all, looking at the street illuminated by the lanterns on the street, the street was full of people, the residents of this town like to come here at night when they have nothing to do, Mu Youlian looked at Xiao Duo who was still nibbling on the rock sugar gourd and asked, "Xiao Duo, most of you in the Central Plains are like this?" ”
Xiao Duo replied while eating: "It's almost, those ordinary people are like this, they like to watch the moon and enjoy the flowers, and they are not like monks who know how to cultivate." ”
Mu Qingming nodded and said, "That's it, I saw this kind of scene in Luoyuan City last time." The border is magnificent, and some people love elegance. ”
You Liansheng sighed: "Isn't traveling in the world just to see the various states of life and seek opportunities. ”
Mu Qingming stroked Qing's shirt and said with a smile: "I read a lot of books in Yunfu Dao Academy before, so I thought I knew a lot, but now I know that it is nothing at all." I'll buy some books later, it's always good to read more. ”
You Liansheng smiled and said: "When it comes to reading, I think of the guy named Du Xian, and he drinks freely, but he doesn't drink well." ”
Mu Qing couldn't help but think of the scholar named Du Xian, who often went to his bookstore to read books many years ago, and I don't know when I would be able to drink with him again and talk about the world again.
Mu Qingming opened his mouth again: "Anyway, the wine pot you bought at the auction in Luoyuan City before, why haven't you used it." ”
You Liansheng said proudly: "I bought a lot of plum wine and put it in it before, the longer the wine is placed in that wine jug, the more mellow the wine becomes, and if you put it for a year, it will be like an old wine that has been sealed for decades, I want to put it for a few more days before drinking." ”
Mu Qingming looked at the moonlight and said to himself: "The lights of the yellow sand desert scene, how much do the travelers in the world look at?" Looking for immortals alone, it is better to look at the world and float like immortals......"
Xiao Duo looked at a stall selling scallion pancakes on the side of the road and said loudly: "Alas, Mu Qingming, do you eat Youliansheng, the famous scallion pancakes in Yanxu City!" ”
Mu Qingming smiled and shook her head, Xiao Duo could remember what she ate clearly. You Liansheng didn't want to pay attention to Xiao Duo at all.
Xiao Duo snorted coldly: "Don't eat it!" I'll eat it myself, boss, I want five portions......"
……
Xiao Duo continued to sweep the food along the street by the river, and You Liansheng was responsible for watching her. Mu Qingming entered a bookstore on the side of the road by himself, the owner was an old man with gray hair, dressed in a loose Confucian robe, holding a book in his hand, and when he saw someone coming in, he greeted him: "If you want to go up to the second floor of the martial arts, the first floor is an ordinary book, and there are no books about the law and martial arts." The old man should have felt Mu Qingming's spiritual power fluctuations before he said this.
Mu Qingming shook his head and said, "Old gentleman, I just want to buy some ordinary books, books on geography and various things, does the old gentleman have any recommendations?" ”
The old man stroked his beard and nodded, "Well, the current monks are all dedicated to the Dao, and there are not many people who read these books that have nothing to do with cultivation like Daoyou!" However, blindly cultivating will only be self-defeating, and it is good to read more books to clear your mind. ”
The old man took out a few books from the bookshelf and handed them to Mu Qingming: "These books are all about local things, as well as the Central Plains and other regional introductions, although they are not complete, but they are much more detailed than other such books on the market, I think Daoists should need it!" There is also this book of Taoism I recommend to Taoist friends, the world cultivates the Tao, but I don't know that there were saints who also started cultivating from mortals, this book was written when he was still a mortal, although it has nothing to do with cultivation, but it tells his views on the Tao when he was still a mortal. ”
After Mu Qingming thanked the old man and bought these books together, Mu Qingming thought of something and said, "By the way, may I ask the old man, that Luoyin River can't be crossed now?" ”
The old man put his hands behind his back, looked at Mu Qingming and said, "Little Taoist friend is traveling the world!" ”
Mu Qingming didn't evade and said, "Exactly!" ”
The old man's originally grim face showed a look of reminiscence and said, "Sure enough! I think when I was young, although the talent for cultivation was weak, I didn't like to cultivate but I liked to read, this small Causeway Town could no longer satisfy me, at that time my cultivation was much lower than you are now, I carried a few books on my back and went to all parts of the world, visited many Confucian Taoists, walked a lot of roads, and now I think that is when I am most energetic. Little Taoist friend, I see that you have a lot of eyes, and I would like to give you a word of advice, if you can walk the road in the future, don't be greedy to use the teleportation array to walk, walk more, see more, and see the various states of life in this world. The world cultivates the Tao, but they don't know it, the Tao, just between this walk, in what you see, and in these thousands of books. ”
Mu Qingming didn't expect this old man to be so interesting, and said with a gentle smile: "What the old gentleman said, I remember it all below!" If I could, I would also ferry through Luoyin, didn't I encounter a hurricane, and I didn't dare to cross in vain, so I didn't dare to ask the old gentleman! ”
The old man laughed and said, "Little Daoist friend has a point, but you haven't tried it yet, and you start to believe that hearsay?" ”
Mu Qing bowed down and said, "Thank you for the guidance of the seniors, the juniors understand!" ”
The old man smiled and waved his hand, said let's go, and sat back in his chair to continue reading.
Mu Qingming still bowed, said goodbye and left.
