Chapter 13: The Old Man and the Girl

A golden sun was embedded in the blue sky, and a white cloud was like a lone sail on the blue sea floating in the clear sky. The light blue canopy of heaven is like a clean velvet, inlaid with yellow golden crows.

In front of a dilapidated Taoist temple, there is a girl standing, only to see the girl's slender hand holding a dilapidated bicycle, a lock of black hair like a cloud pouring down like the Milky Way falling nine days, like a light smoke like phoenix eyebrows, a pair of autumn water-like eyes flowing and charming, delicate Yao nose, pink cheeks slightly red, exhaling like an orchid cherry lips, flower-like face delicate and affectionate, blowing and breakable snow muscles like ice and snow, slender body, it is like a cluster of orchids as quiet and natural, to this broken Taoist temple, adding a beautiful brilliance.

"Grandpa! Grandfather! I've come to see you. The girl shouted, and with that, the girl put aside the bike she was riding. If Fu Xin was here, he would definitely be able to recognize that this girl was the girl who almost collided with him.

"Oh, my Xiaoying is here, have you had breakfast?" An old man dressed in a Taoist robe and in good spirits came out of the gate of the Taoist temple and said with a smile. Obviously, the old man was very happy that there were younger generations who came to see him, a widowed old man, even though he was a Taoist priest who had left home and escaped from the mortal world.

"Hey, grandpa, where did you get this robe, you look really good when you wear it." The girl looked at the old man in a Taoist robe, full of energy, and asked curiously.

"Hehe, girl, if you come a little later, you won't see your grandfather and me, I am wearing this robe, just about to go out." The old man patted Xiao Ying's mind with his hand and said kindly.

"Grandpa, where are you going?" The girl named Xiaoying asked in surprise when she heard that her grandfather, who had not been down the mountain for decades, was going out, and her eyes sparkled and asked.

"Your grandfather is old, and your brother is unwilling to learn this ability, but you, although you are very talented, you are also very interested in my ability.

But unfortunately, you are a daughter, and the rules of your ancestors cannot be taught to women, and your grandfather has taught you something, which is already against the rules of your ancestors.

There's no way, there's no way your grandfather can bring this skill to the coffin, so I need to go down the mountain to find a successor! The old man said with a deep sigh.

The girl didn't care about the old man's rule of passing on men and not women, because she had sighed many times when the old man taught her skills, on the contrary, when he heard the old man say the words "bring it into the coffin", he was very concerned, wrinkled his delicate nose, and said very indignantly: "Grandpa, don't talk nonsense, grandpa is a master, grandpa will not die?" ”

Seeing his grandson so cute, the old man couldn't help but happily scratch his granddaughter's little Qiong's nose, and said with a soothing face: "Hehe, silly girl, it is destiny for people to die, although your grandfather has some ability, but no matter how capable a person is, it is impossible to escape death, at most, just live longer." ”

"Say no more! Do not say! Grandpa will do everything he can to make these unpleasant things. The girl said innocently.

"By the way, grandpa, is it appropriate for you to go out in a Taoist robe?" The girl still remembers the turmoil vividly, and the old man dressed like this to go out, during the turmoil, he will inevitably be arrested.

"Good granddaughter, your grandfather and I are an authentic monk with a Taoist priest, what is wrong with wearing it like this. Besides, hmph, as far as those political opportunists are concerned, I am not qualified to move me! Speaking of this, a cold murderous aura came out of the old man's body. The girl's body trembled in fright.

When the old Taoist priest saw the girl's body tremble, he suddenly felt a little ashamed, he actually lost his temper in front of his granddaughter, and immediately remedied: "Xiaoying, don't be afraid, grandpa is not targeting you, you continue to listen to me."

Your grandfather and I, although I haven't been down the mountain for decades, but I am not a person who ignores what is happening outside the window, I already know what is happening outside, and the turmoil has been more than two years, so it is impossible for your grandfather and me, a true Taoist, to wear out like this. ”

The girl seemed to feel that something was wrong, thought about it, and said, "No, grandpa, if you are a monk, how can you be with me and my mother?" It's not that monks are not allowed to marry, and if they don't marry, how can they have babies? Without a baby, there would be no mother, and without my mother, there would be no me. ”

The old Taoist priest was laughed at by the girl's innocent cuteness, "haha" laughed a few times, and saw that the girl was a little unhappy, so he held back his laughter and said with a smile: "Silly boy, who said that the family can't marry?" ”

"I ...... I listen...... Others said, "When the old Taoist priest asked her like this, the girl didn't know what she thought, she was a little shy, and said in a hurry."

"Haha, Xiaoying blushed, Xiaoying, do you have a boy you like? Bring it to my grandfather one day. ”

"Grandpa...... You're making fun of people again. I don't know why, when the girl heard the old Taoist priest ask this, her mind immediately flashed the figure of a man who turned around and walked away without looking back, and in an instant, the girl's face was a little hot, and she jumped her feet shyly, and said angrily.

"Haha, it seems that my Xiaoying has grown up!" At this time, Lao Dao saw that his granddaughter had an anger that wanted to pull his beard, and immediately stopped laughing, and continued: "Xiaoying, although a monk can marry a wife, your grandfather is a pure monk, so he didn't marry a wife. As for how you and your mother came to be? Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart.

Seeing that her grandfather's face had changed, the girl immediately said obediently: "Grandpa doesn't want to say it, don't say it, Xiaoying won't ask." ”

"No, Xiaoying, let grandpa tell you! My grandfather has kept this secret for decades. So much so that your mother thinks she is my adopted daughter, but in fact she is not, your mother is my own daughter! It's all your grandfather's mistake.

Forget it, you don't understand it if you talk too much, when you grow up, you will understand, you just have to remember that you are your grandfather's own granddaughter, and you have a part of your grandfather's blood flowing in your body. The old man decided not to elaborate on it, but told the girl the results.

"Oh! But grandpa, Xiaoying has grown up, and Xiaoying is now sixteen years old! Seeing that her grandfather was reluctant to speak, the girl did not force it, but said obediently.

"By the way, grandfather, didn't you say that you were going down the mountain to collect apprentices? Can you take me there? I want to go ......" The girl was a smart person, and seeing that her grandfather's originally happy mood was made a little sentimental by herself, she immediately thought of changing the topic. So, the girl asked timidly, turning her fingers around her hair.

"Forget it, Xiaoying, since you came to see grandpa, grandpa won't go out first, grandpa has to entertain my precious granddaughter first, otherwise that shy little guy will come to pull my beard again!" After speaking, the old Taoist priest laughed a few times.

"Grandpa, if you make fun of people again, they will pull out your beard!" The girl clenched her pink fist angrily and said angrily.

"Good! Good! Good! Don't make fun of it, grandpa is afraid of you, and he doesn't dare to make fun of my Xiaoying. By the way, Xiaoying, did you have breakfast? If not, my grandfather will go and heat up the meal, and the rest will be talked about when the meal is ready. The old Taoist priest asked with a smile.

When asked this question, the girl couldn't help but grab her braids with her hands, spin them a few times, and asked, "If it weren't for ......, forget it, no!" No! Grandpa, I haven't had breakfast yet, so I'll go eat first! After saying that, the girl didn't care about the bicycle parked by herself, and ran into the Taoist temple.

"Hehe, it seems that my precious granddaughter had an accident on the way here!" Lao Dao pinched his fingers, gestured a few times in the void, and said to himself.
