Chapter 2: Small-Town Conflict

In late autumn in October, the mountain breeze in the early morning is already cool, and the wind blows off a yellow leaf.

Not far from the Taoist temple, there is a hill, on which stands a half-old and a new tomb. The cemetery was very tidy, not a single weed or fallen leaf was missing.

Some offerings were placed in front of the tomb, a few green incense sticks were burned, and there were two Taoist priests in Tsing Yi, one large and one small, kneeling on the ground. These two Taoist priests are Jiang Fan and his senior brother Liu Daoxing.

"Master, today my junior brother and I are here to pay homage to your old man, and we are going to say goodbye to you. In the future, the return date is uncertain, it is the apprentice's unfilial piety, and it is also my incompetence, and I have not been able to find a great good master to build the temple. This time, I took my little brother down the mountain to join the WTO, and I hope that your old man can protect us smoothly and safely. Come! Little junior brother, let's kowtow to Master together! ”

After Liu Daoxing prayed, he called Jiang Fan beside him, and the two of them knelt and bowed in a proper manner.

When he was about to get up, Liu Guishi looked at Jiang Fan and said, "Little junior brother, do you have anything to tell Master?"

Jiang Fan's cheeks were flushed at this time, his eyes were hazy, he didn't just want to talk to his master, he now had a thousand words in his stomach but didn't know how to start talking.

At this moment, Jiang Fan's mind flashed scenes of the master's presence.

Five years ago, Jiang Fan, who had lost his memory, didn't know why he ended up in a small town, it was a winter night, he was cold and hungry, he didn't know where he came from and where he could go, he was very helpless.

It wasn't until he met his master, Daoist Liu Jingchun, that Jiang Fan's tragic situation was completely changed.

Daoist Liu Jingchun took Jiang Fan back to the Taoist temple and helped him return to normal.

The master taught Jiang Fan to practice the Taoist exercises of the Suishan School, practice the heart and body, and taught him to practice literature and characters, and to be clear and reasonable.

Jiang Fan, who was kneeling in front of the tomb, recalled the great kindness given to him by his master, at this time he was already in tears, choked up and could no longer speak, so he could only desperately kowtow to the ground.

Liu Daoxing felt the deep affection and righteousness of the little junior brother for the master, and saw that Jiang Fan's forehead had been broken and blood was overflowing, so he couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help Jiang Fan get up, and comforted him with words while beating his back lightly.

After a while, Liu Daoxing saw that Jiang Fan's emotions began to calm down slowly, but he knelt down in front of the master's grave again.

"Master, the apprentice still has to say a few words to you, this time the apprentice entered the red dust, and he also learned from our ancestor of the mountain sect Hongchen experience, and it is to sharpen the Dao heart. I can ...... But I remember that you also said before your death, there are many people in our Taoist priests who are not taboo to marry, if the apprentice meets a woman he likes or a woman likes an apprentice this time, I want to marry a Taoist couple! And ......"

Jiang Fan had just recovered from his sadness, but at this time, he heard that this sometimes very "second" senior brother was talking about some things about men and women, and he was immediately embarrassed, he took a step forward and tugged at the corner of the "second" senior brother's clothes.

Liu Daoxing was previewing with his master, and he was suddenly interrupted by Jiang Fan.

At this moment, Liu Daoxing felt that it was indeed inappropriate for him to talk about the marriage of men and women at this sad time of parting, Liu Daoxing was very embarrassed for a while.

Liu Daoxing sneered, patted his head, and immediately put back his serious face and said, "Master, my junior brother and I are leaving, and we will try to come back to see your old man when we have the chance." You can rest assured, I will take good care of my junior brother, and I will often urge my junior brother to practice the exercises of my school's "Zhizhen Lu"! One day, my junior brother and I will definitely be able to come back again and re-cultivate Taoism! Glorious with the mountain faction! ”

Liu Daoxing is so chattering, in fact, he is also reluctant to give up, after all, he and his master have lived in this Taoist temple in the mountains for nearly 30 years.

Liu Daoxing is too, he is reluctant to give up the mountains and rivers here!

After listening to the last words of senior brother Liu Daoxing, Jiang Fan remembered his senior brother's promise to his master, "Rebuild the Taoist temple and glorify the Suishan School", which is also a promise made by Jiang Fan to the master in his heart.

After Jiang Fan and his senior brother Liu Daoxing finished worshipping their master, they returned to the Taoist temple to pick up the bags that had already been packed.

Jiang Fan and Senior Brother had just walked out of the Taoist temple gate, and the two of them looked back at the dilapidated Taoist temple behind them at the same time, and their eyes flashed with reluctance, but then they turned around and came back, but there was a determined look in their eyes.

"Little junior brother! Let's go down the mountain! ”

"Down the mountain, down the mountain......"

Liu Daoxing's words "down the mountain" are shouted out by the luck of the heavy dantian, and there are bursts of echoes among the mountains. After that, the loud voice flew far away.

"Senior brother, is there really a lot of fun and delicious food in the outside world?"

"What's more! The outside world is wonderful! The senior brother traveled with the master at the beginning......"

When the two brothers walked to the bottom of the mountain, they seemed to have let go of the gloomy mood of leaving the Taoist temple at the beginning, and now they were talking and laughing all the way.

Jiang Fan and his senior brother Liu Daoxing's first destination this time down the mountain was the first time that the master "picked up" Jiang Fan's town. The town is called "Dabashan Town", and it is not too far from the mountains of the Taoist temple.

Jiang Fan's departure from the Taoist temple this time was, on October 20, 2005, he followed his senior brother all the way through the mountains and mountains, and also took a trip to the mountain people's "tractor" in the middle, and now it is very close to their first destination ~ "Dabashan Town".

The world outside the mountain has begun to unveil a corner for Jiang Fan, which is a little more lively and has a more "red dust" taste.

Jiang Fan was curious about everything outside the mountain at first, but soon he seemed to be "tired" again.

The world in Jiang Fan's memory is basically in the mountains, and the cultivator's pleasant state of mind of "casualness" and "casual encounter" has long been planted in Jiang Fan's heart, which also makes Jiang Fan's Lingtai quickly clarified.

Liu Daoxing and Jiang Fan stood outside the town and looked up, "Welcome to Dabashan Town!" "A few big words.

"Hah! It's finally here! Little brother, do you still have an impression of this place? Senior Brother Liu Daoxing's question.

"I don't remember...... Jiang Fan tried to recall, but his mind was still blank.

"Well, it's okay, let's go into town and have a look."

Liu Daoxing and Jiang Fanyi dressed up as two humanitarians, and slowly walked into the town. In this way, they naturally form an alternative landscape that is incompatible with the surrounding scene in this modern society.

Dabashan Town is a big market town nearby, and today is the market once every five days in the town, and there are many people rushing to the market on the street, a noisy social scene.

After all, Jiang Fan was a teenager, and he completely forgot that he was looking for memories, and the various shouts in the bazaar had attracted him.

"Bang!" The sound of earthy popcorn boiling.

Jiang Fan and his senior brother happened to walk in front of the popcorn vendor.

Liu Daoxing looked at Jiang Fan's curious appearance, and said with a smile, "Little junior brother, that's popcorn, it's very crispy and sweet, do you want to eat it?" ”

"Can you eat it? Senior brother, then hurry up and buy some! ”

"Good! Boss, here's a pack of popcorn! Liu Daoxing shouted at the vendor.

Jiang Fan held a bag of popcorn wrapped in newspaper in his arms, and walked around the streets of Dabashan Town while eating, which was very comfortable.

"Little junior brother, this is the liveliest place in town, or don't you have any impression?" Senior brother Liu Daoxing asked again.

"Hmm...... Not...... No. Jiang Fan responded with a squeaky chew of crispy and sweet popcorn in his mouth.

Actually, it's no wonder that Jiang Fan, five years ago he was still young. The key is that Jiang Fan at that time had completely lost his memory, how did he appear in this Dabashan Town? He was completely unimpressed.

Besides, when Jiang Fan was wandering in Daba Mountain Town, he was unkempt and his thinking was chaotic. After that, he didn't stay in the town for long before he was taken away by the old Taoist Liu Jingchun.

Jiang Fan, who is happy to eat, has good six senses and sharp eyes! Suddenly, he noticed a young man with yellow hair in front of him, using a sharp knife to cut the satchel of a woman who was holding a baby in her arms.

The yellow-haired young man used half of his body to cover the sight of the people behind him, and the action of cutting the bag was very brisk, and after a while, he had already cut a small opening in the woman's satchel.

The yellow-haired young man used his two slender fingers to pick and clip lightly, revealing a wallet from the cut of the woman's satchel.

The whole process of stealing by the yellow-haired young man was very simple, and he was about to succeed, but the woman who was circumcised still did not find out.

"Thief! Catch the thief! ”

It was Jiang Fan's exclamation, he couldn't let this yellow-haired green succeed.

Such a bold thief, in this public and in this Lang Lang, is so unscrupulous to steal, which makes Jiang Fan very surprised.

"Ahh The woman who had been stolen exclaimed, finally realizing that she had been stolen.

At this time, everyone on the street also reacted one after another, everyone's eyes were staring at this yellow-haired young man, and this yellow-haired man was still holding half of the wallet that was about to be won with one hand, and he was stunned for a while when he was stared at by everyone.

Although Xiao Nianqing was shouted by Jiang Fan, his theft was exposed on the spot, but he did not run away immediately, and he did not even panic at all.

The yellow-haired young man let go of the hand that pulled out half of the wallet and glared at the innocent woman in front of him.

The woman held the child tightly in one hand, grabbed the satchel in the other, shrunk her neck, and took a few steps back nervously and fearfully.

"Smack!" The yellow-haired young man clapped his hands, and swept the onlookers again with his indifferent eyes.

Two curly-haired young men with dyed hair emerged from the crowd, and they squeezed forward to approach the yellow-haired thief.

The three young people are all like hanging children, and their arrogant appearance is almost printed with the words "I am a hooligan" on their foreheads.

"See? What to watch? Brothers, help errands! Get out of the way for me! A curly-haired young man shouted at the audience!

When the onlookers heard the young man's shout, many of them exclaimed in low voices. "Whoa", everyone avoided like birds and beasts, and the women who had been cut and stolen disappeared early.

The crowd dispersed, leaving an open space, and Jiang Fan and the senior brothers on the street were very isolated and conspicuous.

This is what the three gangster-looking young people wanted, and the yellow-haired young man who had been stealing was even more arrogant towards the two senior brothers Jiang Fan, shaking his shoulders and playing with a knife in his hand.

"The miscellaneous Taoist priest from there? Come to our Dabashan Town to swagger? Ha ha! ”

"Hah! Ha ......"

The other two curly-haired young men who followed the yellow-haired youth laughed together.

"You! You ......"

Jiang Fan was very angry, and he clenched his fists and was about to rush towards the three young men, but he was stopped by the big hand stretched out by the senior brother.

"Senior brother......" Jiang Fan was very puzzled, and was just about to speak but was stopped by his senior brother.

After Liu Daoxing stopped Jiang Fan, he showed a smiling face, facing the three young people, holding his right hand with his left hand, pinching a meridian trick inside, and hugging his fists: "Immeasurable view, the poor Dao and the little junior brother have just arrived in Guibao Land, and the poor Dao junior brother has offended, and I ask a few donors to bear with it."

"Haha! Brothers, this is still a sour miscellaneous Taoist priest, what did he say? Do you understand? It was the yellow-haired young man who took the lead and laughed loudly.

"What kind of false Taoist priest is talking about birds! The territory of Dabashan Town, dare to harm our brothers' gang? ”

"What? What are you doing here? Huang Xiaojun is you again! ”

Suddenly, there was a loud shout from the crowd on the outside.
