Ryan thought of the best way to become the leader of the alliance, but the answer could not be said, only action. Goryeo asked, "Can't you even tell me?" ”
The two walked out of the palace and came to the square in Luoyang, looking up at the sky, the autumn rain lingering, and the autumn wind was bleak.
"Let's go and cultivate the true view!" Ryan said, Goryeo summoned the float and hurried to it.
Wudang's cultivator was preaching, and it was Yiqing Daoist and Zhan Kaijiao who were listening in front of him, and Li En motioned for Gao Li to sit down and listen to the sermon together. Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" surrounded their ears, and Gao Li was not in the mood to listen to it, but fortunately, the scriptures were not long, and the cultivator looked at the two of them, revealing questioning eyes.
Rien bowed his head and saluted back, and then said, "Wansheng wants to ask the Taoist chief about some personal issues. ”
The cultivator waved his hand to signal his two disciples to avoid, and then asked, "Young Master Li, please ask!" ”
Rien said: "I want to know about Li Dongye, the descendant of the Taoist Chief. ”
Gao Li suddenly understood, and the cultivator said slowly: "This fellow brother of the poor Dao is unknown in the rivers and lakes, but he has also been young and frivolous, and he also has great ambitions. ”
"At that time, our two brothers were still young, they were new to the rivers and lakes, fearless, daring to act, and soon became famous, but they also attracted countless enemies, but we were still fearless, people came to kill, ghosts came to exorcise ghosts, and immortals punished immortals. However, we also fought for the throne of the alliance leader, and in the end the brothers turned against each other, and the enemy used this to make our two brothers kill each other, and I withdrew and escaped into the empty door. ”
Lien listened with pricked up ears, and Goryeo was also a little surprised.
Xiuzhen Taoist continued: "This brother of mine thought that he could become the leader of the alliance, he was wrong, he was framed by that fisherman, chased by the underworld killer, fled to Jiangnan, and hid in the mountains, but he was so strong, unwilling, abandoned his wife and children, re-emerged from the rivers and lakes, contacted another master to kill his enemy, in order to repay the favor, he lied that he was unmarried, married the daughter of this master, and gave birth to my nephew Li Dongye. ”
Li En said: "I didn't expect Li Dongye to have such a background, I know who this master is called by the Dao Chief?" ”
Gao Li hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”
Ryan still said: "You can only understand, not explain." ”
Xiuzhen Dao Master continued: "You are very smart, but the weakness of this nephew of Poor Dao is that he has a strong sense of self-esteem, his father once came to ask me to help me out of the mountain, but I refused, so my brother had to send someone to the fence, and his descendants felt inferior, until his wife died, it did not get better, but it hurt this nephew of mine, this child saw his father's humiliation and helplessness, and vowed not to marry for life!" ”
Goryeo's face couldn't hold back, and he didn't dare to look at Rien.
Rien was touched again, and kept wondering in his heart: Will he also repeat the mistakes of cultivating the truth, and will his descendants also have such a tragedy?
Gao Li couldn't listen to it anymore, so he immediately got up and said goodbye to the Taoist Chief, and Rien hurriedly said goodbye to the Taoist Elder and chased her out.
In front of the Xiuzhen Temple, Gao Li stood in the rain and asked Rien, who chased him out, "What the Daoist Master said just now, do you have the same concerns?" ”
Lien was silent, Zhan Kaijiao hurriedly took an umbrella to protect the two from the rain, and asked, "Why did the two of you come out, is there something urgent?" ”
Gao Li pushed away the umbrella and said, "Don't worry about it!" ”
The rain poured the three of them through, and Zhan Kaijiao asked Ryan questions.
Rien thanked him, and then said to Gao Li: "I have such concerns, but I have no choice, because I can only marry you!" ”
Ah Qing rushed over, hit a huge umbrella to cover the two, and Rien said: "Ah Qing, you take Miss back, I'll visit Li Dongye!" ”
Gao Li said, "No, don't want to leave me!" ”
Ryan said, "There are some things that can only be said between us men!" As he spoke, he returned to the Xiuzhen Temple and said to Zhan Kaijiao: "I'm really sorry just now, I apologize to you on behalf of Miss Gao!" ”
Zhan Kaijiao said: "You two quarreled? ”
Rien twisted the rain on his clothes and said, "No, I want to ask you to take me to visit Li Dongye!" ”
Zhan Kaijiao was surprised and said, "You don't have a fever, do you?" If he tries to get rid of you, you're in the trap! ”
Ryan said: "I don't have a fever, I was drenched in the rain, I am very sober, what can touch the heart of a man who is not close to women?" ”
Zhan Kaijiao took out a jar of Willow Bay aged wine and said, "What can touch the heart of a hermit more than good wine?" ”
Ryan said, "I don't drink alcohol, is there any good tea?" ”
Zhan Kaijiao took out another jar of dragon wells before the rain, and said, "This is what my master entrusted me to bring to the cultivator, I will lend it to you first!" ”
Rien put on his robe, Zhan Kaijiao set up the carriage, and the two of them braved the wind and rain to rush to Li Dongye's house in Nancheng.
It was dark, Li Dongye's home was really hard to find, there was a large group of poor people living here, they wore out their mouths, and only then did they find out about Li Dongye's house, the earthen house was full of firewood, and the muddy water was flowing.
There was a lamp lit in the room, it was dim, and in the main hall, the father and son were drinking to relieve their boredom, and when they saw a guest coming, they got up to greet them.
When Li Dongye saw that it was the two of them, he looked puzzled and didn't ask.
Li En took out the tea wrapped in oil paper and offered it, and said: "When I first arrived in Luoyang in my late life, I heard about the hermit name and made a special trip to visit. ”
In the hall, an old man's voice asked, "Child, who is coming?" ”
Li Dongye pushed away the tea and said: "No merit is not lost, you and I are two people, don't visit!" ”
Rien said: "No, although you and I have a lot of age differences, we are both fallen people at the end of the world, why should we have known each other?" If you say something, you will understand! ”
At this time, a trembling old man walked out of the hall, looked at Ryan, and asked, "Everyone who comes is a guest, please come in and sit!" It was dark and it was raining outside, so it was rude for guests to stay outside the door. ”
Li Dongye said to the old man: "Daddy, you don't know, this is Li Gongzi who is running for the leader of the martial arts alliance, and this is the Zhan Kaijiao knight of the Wudang faction next to him. ”
The old man said: "None of them are alive yet, please come in!" ”
Li Dongye didn't stop it, there was only one table and four chairs in the main hall, and there would be nowhere to sit if one more person came.
Zhan Kaijiao presented the aged wine and said, "A little bit of late life, seniors, please accept it." ”
Li Dongye brought two pairs of chopsticks and threw them in front of the two, and said, "What is the matter with the two of you coming to me?" ”
Rien said: "Li Hermit doesn't want to be the leader of the martial arts alliance in his later life, does he have another concern?" ”
Li Dongye didn't understand, so he responded: "I'm not rare to be the leader of the alliance, but I'm not willing to let Yu Zhenghua, a gentleman, take office." ”
Ryan said, "Then the hermit will support me as the leader of the alliance, I will not disappoint you, and I can also make you raise your eyebrows and wash away the old shame." ”
After Li Dongye heard this, he said: "I don't need you to ask about my family affairs, you and I are competitors, I don't welcome you, send guests, no, don't send them, you can do it yourself!" ”
The old man still looked at Rien, and then said, "Childe's surname, where is your name?" ”
Rien said: "Late born Rien, I can't remember where the people are, I only remember that I grew up in a temple on a big mountain since I was a child, and I almost became a monk." ”
When the old man heard this, his hands began to tremble.
