Chapter 8 Farewell at the Mountain Gate
Pu Xuan said: "It turns out that the four fairies are divided by different colors of clothing, and the other three fairies must be green, red, and purple." ”
Qian Wenyi said: "It was originally like this, but now it is different. The fairy in green clothes and the fairy in purple shirts remain unchanged, the original fairy in red clothes Shen Yuqing is now a Taoist aunt, and she wears a Taoist robe without red makeup, so only three fairies of the four fairies are still the same, but one more fairy girl comes out. ”
Pu Xuan was puzzled: "How did a good fairy become a fairy, the difference between one word, two ways back, the poor Dao really has to admire his steadfastness in seeking the truth." ”
Qian Wenyi said with a smile: "You don't know this, the fairy in red clothes was also a popular figure in the past, and he was very affectionately entangled with one of my fellow brothers, but unfortunately there were some accidents later, and he suffered some blows, and he couldn't think about it for a while, so he became a Taoist aunt, not really a Taoist heart." After saying this, he looked at Fang Zhong.
Pu Xuan sighed: "Suffering for love is the most worthless, and it's a pity." ”
Qian Wenyi said: "We also think the same way, and we are deeply puzzled by her move. But she herself was indifferent, and she didn't listen to the persuasion of others at all, but said that we fell into the red dust catastrophe, and we didn't know the five flavors of suffering! If you don't speculate, it is in vain to persuade each other. Only her master, Master Jueao, was overjoyed, saying that he had seen through the world and understood the truth, the fetal heart had been completed, there was a glimpse of the way of heaven, and there were more crooked reasons than her apprentices. ”
Pu Xuan pondered for a while and said, "There is some truth in this, the fairy in red clothes is not a Taoist gate that entered on impulse, otherwise he would not be able to say such a thing." ”
Qian Wenyi said: "Her master is a Taoist aunt, so she naturally hopes that her apprentice will also be a Taoist aunt." Anyway, I'm not a Taoist priest. Seeing that Puxuan and Dingguan were also Taoist priests, he hurriedly added: "I have moved my mortal heart, and my heart of cultivation is not pure, so I can't be compared with the two Taoist masters." ”
Pu Xuan said with a smile: "If you want to talk about the purity of the heart, the poor road is also shameless, although it is not a mortal heart, but it is a fame and fortune, everyone is each other." ”
The two smiled at each other.
Qian Wenyi spoke kindly, did not stick to etiquette, and spoke very speculatively with Puxuan. Seeing that Fang Zhong was taking care of Xian'er to sleep, he said with a smile: "In the future, the little brother will cultivate in the mountain, and your lady will be alone." The end of the world is estranged, there is nothing to send lovesickness, I am afraid I can't bear the loneliness. ”
Fang Zhong asked, "I don't know what rules are in the door, how often can I go down the mountain?" If it's longer, I can go to the Heavenly Master Dao and come back. Qian Wenyi shook his head and said: "You have just entered the mountain gate, but you are just a nominal disciple, unless the master allows it, there is no chance to go down the mountain." Pu Xuan also said: "The Heavenly Master Dao is in Shudi, and it can be reached in two or three days." Don't worry about this, Xian'er's affairs, my junior brother and I will take good care of it. But I hope you will succeed in your studies and live up to our high hopes of sending you up the mountain. Qian Wenyi said: "The rules in the door, when the name is to learn the arts, you need to participate in the competition, and the winners after the assessment can officially learn the arts, and at that time, you will be the real Kunlun disciple and Yuxumen." Fang Zhong said: "Do you still need to participate in the competition?" What if it's not the winner? Qian Wenyi said: "In previous years, the winners were two or three out of ten, and the rest were eliminated, and those who were willing to stay were to be a Taoist priest, cleaning the courtyard on the mountain, picking up water and planting vegetables, and serving Gaoxian; Those who don't want to stay are recommended by other famous cave mansions, anyway, they also come to Kunlun to lay a foundation, so they go back to the same place to continue practicing, and if they succeed in the future, they can also be famous; If there is no way, I went home to hug my wife and give birth to a child, so I studied art for many years, and practiced some health and self-defense skills, which is also worthy of Kunlun practice. ”
Fang Zhong said in surprise: "Twenty-three out of ten winners, isn't that not many people who can apprentice!?" Qian Wenyi said with a smile: "It was in previous years, and I paid great attention to potential, but now, seven or eight out of ten winners, and only two or three of them were eliminated." I think your qualifications are not bad, although you came late, as long as you are willing to work hard and study devotedly, it is very easy to pass the assessment. Only then did Fang Zhong put his mind at ease.
Qian Wenyi arched his hand and said: "I've been here for so long, so I won't delay your rest." The two Taoists had nothing to do, so they stayed on the mountain for a few days, and the affairs of the front hall were all in charge of my senior brother Changpingzi and Senior Brother Lu Wenfu. Pu Xuan and Dingguan hurriedly thanked him. Pu Xuan said: "I still have things to do, this time the Yuxu Palace line, although there is nothing to gain, but it is not in vain, at least take on the heavy responsibility of making a meritorious contribution down, I really have no intention of staying more, tomorrow my senior brother will take Xian'er down the mountain and go to the Heavenly Master Road." Qian Wenyi didn't stay long, and said, "The two of you, please just leave and leave." He said goodbye to the two and left.
In the evening, the waiting priest brought a meal, and several people had a full meal and slept peacefully.
…………………………………………
The next day, Pu Xuan went to see Lu Wenfu once, and said some good words about coming to the mountain to meet the sage. Lu Wenfu looked indifferent, and promised in his mouth, but he didn't know if he would speak on his behalf. Pu Xuan had no hope of entering the palace, so he packed up his things with his junior brother, went to the livestock pen to lead the black pig, and took Xian'er down the mountain. Fang Zhong was reluctant to give up, and sent him off with his peers.
When he arrived at Qifengtai, he was about to separate, and Pu Xuan said earnestly: "Fang Zhong, you and I are friends in trouble, Kunlun Taoism is profound, you have to study seriously, and stay presentable, I Pu Xuan still have to come and ask you to help me support a scene, raise my majesty, and pull up the signboard of Maoshan again." ”
Fang Zhong felt sad in his heart, if it wasn't for Pu Xuan carrying him all the way, he would never have been able to get to Kunlun, although he was not a master, but he not only passed on the talisman and took care of it, but also had the grace to save his life, and his heart of love was not under the master, thinking of this, he knelt down and kowtowed to Pu Xuan three times.
Pu Xuan was stunned, hurriedly helped him up, and hurriedly said: "Silly boy, what do you mean, the poor Dao really can't afford it, it's just to take care of the fairy, how can you salute like this, you just need to remember that I have this benefit." ”
Fang Zhong burst into tears and said, "Although I haven't been able to worship you as a teacher, you are my master, master!" ”
Fang Zhong solemnly called Pu Xuan Master.
