Xiao Ding listened to the recommendation of the Tianzhu Daoist, and went to the Qingyun Temple in Qingyun Mountain, Jingzhou, to ask to see the master of the Qingyun Temple, hoping that the people of the Qingyun Temple could help Song Yinzi and summon his soul back.

But after arriving at Qingyun Mountain, he was rejected by the little Taoist boy who opened the door.

From the crack in the door that had just been opened, Xiao Ding found that there seemed to be a lot of people in the courtyard of the Taoist temple, and it was still very noisy. Could it be that something happened to Qingyunguan?

Xiao Ding didn't give up, and when he saw that Xiao Daotong closed the door, he continued to knock on the door knocker, and shouted: "Xiao Dao Chief, please open the door, please make it convenient!" ”

After knocking on the door knocker a few times, the little Taoist boy who opened the door just now opened a crack in the door again, poked his head out, and said impatiently: "I said that you are a big man, I told you, our Lord is busy with something, and I don't have time to pay attention to you, why don't you leave?" ”

Xiao Ding took the opportunity to look into the courtyard through the crack in the door, and sure enough, he saw a lot of people standing in the courtyard. Most of them are dressed as Taoist priests.

Seeing that the little dao boy was about to close the door again, Xiao Ding hurriedly pulled the door knocker, and said with a smile on his face: "The little road is long and slow!" I really have an urgent matter to find your viewer, and I ask the Taoist chief for a favor, just help me to pass the Lord's voice, thank you Xiaodaochang! ”

Xiao Daotong pulled the door a few times, but didn't pull it, then lowered his face and said, "I said, what the hell is going on with you?" It's all clear to you, why are you still pestering here? Hurry up and let go, or I'll call someone to beat you?" ”

When Xiao Ding heard this, he said in his heart, they all said that the king of Hades is good at seeing little ghosts, and today he really met a little ghost, this little Taoist boy who guards the door, although he is only a low-status gatekeeper, but he won't help you go in, and you have nothing to do.

Hearing him say that he wants to call someone to come, he can't wait to make a big deal about it, and it's best that they also know about it, and come together, so that they don't need to be polite.

So Xiao Ding didn't let go at all, continued to pull the knocker, and said scoundrelly: "You go in and help me pass through the Lord, and I'll let go." ”

Xiao Daotong saw that Xiao Ding refused to let go, and he himself did not have Xiao Ding's strength, so he shouted inside: "Senior Brother Sha, come here, there is a scoundrel here, he will not leave, you come to help me drive him away." ”

Xiao Ding only heard someone answer inside, and then a young Taoist priest came over. Look at the age should be similar to yourself, but you don't have to look tall and burly.

When the young Taoist priest surnamed Sha came to the door, he asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Xiao Daotong complained and said: "This person said that he asked to see our master, and I told him that the master was busy and didn't have time to see him, so he pulled the door and didn't let me close it." ”

When the young Taoist priest heard this, he immediately opened another door, stepped out of the threshold, made a gesture towards Xiao Ding, and said: "This donor, we are busy with something at this time, and we really don't have time to meet the donor, please come and ask for a meeting another day, Xiaodao will apologize to you here!" ”

Xiao Ding saw that the young Taoist priest was very polite to him, and when he heard the words, the master seemed to have something to do at this time, and it was inconvenient to meet him, so he was not good at being strong.

So he let go of his hand, clasped his fists and saluted back, saying, "Dare to ask Dao Chief, when will Lord Guiguan be free?" Can you tell me that I will bother you again another day! ”

"This ......, I think the donor will come back tomorrow, maybe the viewer will be free tomorrow." The young Taoist priest thought for a moment, and then said.

When Xiao Ding saw it, he couldn't see this viewer today, and thought in his heart, anyway, so many days have been delayed, but it's not bad for this day, tomorrow will be tomorrow, go find a place to rest for the night, and it's not too late to come back tomorrow.

So, he said, "Okay, then I'll come back tomorrow to bother." ”

After speaking, Xiao Ding turned around and left.

He walked along the stone path towards the bottom of the mountain, and subconsciously wanted to go down the mountain.

I had just walked not far away, and suddenly it occurred to me that I would need to come again tomorrow, and if I went down the mountain, wouldn't I have to climb the mountain again tomorrow?

Anyway, I have a tent and food in my space, so I might as well find a place to rest on the top of this mountain today and come over directly tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ding stopped going down the mountain, turned around and returned to the top of the mountain.

Seeing the huge courtyard of Qingyunguan, I feel that it is not good to live in front of people's homes, and maybe I will be guarded against it like a thief by others.

So Xiao Ding walked towards the back mountain behind Qingyun Temple.

The large courtyard that bypasses Qingyun Temple is the back mountain of Qingyun Mountain. There is also a stone-paved path that leads to the back mountain.

Xiao Ding was idle and bored anyway, so he walked along the path all the way to the back.

When he had walked about two or three miles, he suddenly heard the sound of the piano in his ears.

Xiao Ding was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that there will be people playing the piano in this barren mountain range? Who's in such good spirits? Running into the mountains to play the piano?

Walking to the sound of the piano, the path in front of me turned, and three huts appeared in front of me. The hut is surrounded by a fence and forms a small yard that is not too big.

There were many baskets and dead grass in the courtyard. In the center is a stone table, around which there are four or five stone piers. There was an old Taoist man about sixty or seventy years old, who was sitting at the stone table and playing the piano.

The sound of the piano is crisp and pleasant. It is like a pine wave, and it is like a spring water.

Xiao Ding stopped outside the fence door and admired it quietly. The man said without raising his head: "Xiaoyou looks a little faceless, he must not be a person in Qingyun Guan, right?" I don't know where Xiaoyou came from? There is such a Yaxing, to listen to the poor road to play the piano? ”

Hearing the old Tao's question, Xiao Ding hurriedly clasped his fists across the fence and said: "I happened to pass by here and was attracted when I heard the sound of the fairy long qin, so I inadvertently came over and disturbed the seniors!" ”

After speaking, Xiao Ding turned around and wanted to leave. The old man raised his head, looked at Xiao Ding, and then said: "Since Xiaoyou likes to listen to poor Dao playing the piano, it is not too late to come in and drink a cup of poor wild tea before leaving." ”

Xiao Ding heard the old Taoist politely invite him, and thought about it, I don't know where this old way came from, I don't know if it has anything to do with the Qingyun Temple, it doesn't hurt to go in and talk to him, if he can help him introduce the master of the Qingyun Temple, he will not be embarrassed by the little Taoist boy who guards the door.

Thinking about it, Xiao Ding clenched his fists again and said politely: "Then disturb the immortal chief!" ”

After speaking, he pushed open the fence door by himself, walked into the small courtyard, came directly to the opposite side of the old road, and sat on a stone pier.

At this time, he saw the specific face of the old man. I saw that his hair and beard were all white, his face was a little thin and wrinkled, and his two dry palms jumped very lightly on the guqin on the stone table.

The Taoist robe on his body was also a little old, and the coarse cloth had faded and turned white after being washed. There is a whisk on his waist, which seems to have been used for many years, and the hair on it is a little sparse.

From this old way of dressing, it can be seen that he must be a pure cultivator, although his life is hard, but his spirit is very strong. has nothing to do, but he is still interested in sitting in the courtyard and playing the piano, which shows that he must be an optimistic and open-minded hermit.

After Xiao Ding sat down, the old man pointed to the teapot and cup on the stone table, and motioned for Xiao Ding to pour the tea himself.

Xiao Ding was not polite, he took an empty stoneware cup, poured a cup of tea, stretched out his nose and sniffed, a smell of tea entered his nose, but it was tea that Xiao Ding had not drunk before.

Pick up the cup, take a small sip, a natural aroma of herbs and trees in the mouth, lips and teeth fragrant, different from those processed tea that has been processed, such as killing, rolling, fermentation, and frying.

When the old Taoist saw Xiao Ding drinking tea, he smiled slightly: "What does Xiaoyou think of the taste of my wild tea?" My tea is a wild tea picked in this mountain by Poor Dao himself, and it has not been processed, and it is all pure natural tea. ”

Xiao Ding nodded and praised: "The tea of the immortal is a good tea, and the piano is also played well, you live alone in this mountain and forest, it is simply a life like a living immortal!" ”

In fact, Xiao Ding knows little about the tea ceremony, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc., and it is a little difficult for him to let him taste one, two, three.

Lao Dao listened to Xiao Ding's words, laughed, and said, "Hahaha, Xiaoyou is really joking!" Poor Dao is just an idle cloud and wild crane that has begged for repentance here, where can we talk about what kind of fairy life? ”

Xiao Ding was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart, he was originally the one who repented here, but he was so old, what other mistakes could he make?

So he opened his mouth and asked suspiciously: "It turns out that the immortal chief is here alone to repent and cultivate, the kid doesn't know, how much disturbance, please forgive me!" It's just that I don't know what the immortal chief is wrong with, so he actually repents in seclusion here? ”

Lao Dao heard Xiao Ding ask about the past, sighed, stopped stroking the qin, picked up the teacup on the side and took a sip of tea, and then squinted his eyes and said: "Xiaoyou must be the first time to come to Qingyun Mountain, I don't know what to call Xiaoyou?" ”

Xiao Ding hugged his fists and said: "The kid's name is Tian Xiaoding, it is indeed the first time to come to Qingyun Mountain, this time I came to see the Qingyun Guanguan, hoping to ask him for one thing, unfortunately he has something to do today, so I walked around, I didn't expect to come to you." ”

Lao Dao nodded, and then said: "Xiaoyou may not know Poor Dao, Poor Dao Dao Lingyunzi, is the junior brother of Qingyun Guanguan Lord Fengyunzi, forty years ago, because Poor Dao did a wrong thing and killed a girl, so Poor Dao regretted it for life, so he moved out of Qingyun Temple, and hid alone on this back mountain to repent, hoping that the soul of the girl who died because of me can rest in peace......"

After the old Taoist Ling Yunzi finished speaking, his face showed a gloomy look, Xiao Ding saw that his face was full of misery, and he had already guessed that the deceased he said must be very important to this old way, which led him to regret it all his life, and would rather stay away from the mortal dust and live a hard life than wade into the red dust and meddle in mundane affairs.

Since the person in front of him is also from Qingyun Guan, he is still the junior disciple of Qingyun Guanguan Master Fengyunzi. Xiao Ding suddenly thought, would he also know that kind of soul conjuring technique?

So Xiao Ding asked tentatively: "It turned out to be Lingyun Dao Chief, disrespectful and disrespectful, the kid is ignorant, offended Dao Chief, please forgive me!" Since the Dao Leader is also from Qingyun Temple, dare to ask the Dao Chief, has he ever known the art of conjuring spirits? ”

After speaking, Xiao Ding looked at Ling Yunzi expectantly.

Ling Yunzi looked at Xiao Ding, and then asked, "Tian Xiaoyou came to Qingyunguan this time, is it for this soul conjuring technique?" ”

Xiao Ding didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly said: "It's for this!" ”

"I wonder if you're here to learn this art of conjuring? Or do you want to ask someone who knows how to conjure spirits to help you? Ling Yunzi then asked.

When Xiao Ding heard this, he said that it seems that this old Taoist may know how to summon spirits, but if he wants to ask him to go down the mountain to help, it is estimated that it is a little unlikely, since he is in seclusion, he has lived for forty years, it can be seen that his determination to cultivate is not so easy to shake, maybe he may not go down the mountain again in his life.

So Xiao Ding replied: "A friend of the boy was plotted by someone, and was taken away by someone, the boy came to Qingyunguan this time, originally wanted to see the master, to see if he could help me, but when I went today, he happened to have something, I didn't see the master, but I came to you unintentionally." ”

Ling Yunzi touched his beard and nodded, and said, "Have you learned the art of ghosts and gods?" ”

Xiao Ding shook his head and said, "I haven't learned." ”

Lao Dao was puzzled and continued to ask: "Then how do you know that your friend has been taken away by someone?" Wouldn't it be two or three? ”

Xiao Ding replied: "The kid has learned a technique, and now he has cultivated some small spells that open the eyes of the sky, and you can see people's spirits, as well as ghosts and other things. ”

Ling Yunzi was taken aback, then there was surprise in his eyes, and then he said: "It turns out that Xiaoyou still has such magical powers, I can't imagine it." However, as far as I know, even if you see my senior brother Fengyunzi today, he will not go down the mountain with you. ”

Xiao Ding was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Why?" ”

Ling Yunzi smiled slightly, and said: "Our Qingyunguan has cultivated the Dao for generations, since the generation of the Patriarch of the Kai Sect has cultivated the Great Dao and ascended to the Immortal, the next dozens of generations have been cultivating hard, but no one can cultivate the Great Dao anymore. Therefore, every generation of our Qingyunguan people regards cultivation as their first responsibility, and they will not take care of other worldly trivial matters, so my senior brother will not meddle in your friend's affairs. What's more, back then, he was ...... with me, alas......"

When Xiao Ding heard this, his heart was cold, and he secretly thought, if this is the case, even if he goes again tomorrow and sees the master of Fengyunzi, he must still run for nothing! How can this be good.

Thinking so in my heart, a sad face immediately appeared. He muttered, "That's it! So what to do? Isn't my friend hopeless? ”

Although he was talking to himself, he was also heard clearly by Ling Yunzi's old way, he groaned slightly, and then said: "Tian Xiaoyou inadvertently visited Poor Dao here today, since he has a fate with Poor Dao, Xiaoyou is willing to travel thousands of miles to seek help for your friend, presumably the relationship with that friend must not be ordinary, since Poor Dao and Xiaoyou have such a fate, Poor Dao can't just watch your friend being killed." ”

As soon as Xiao Ding heard this, he said in his heart that this Ling Yunzi wanted to help himself, so he quickly stood up, bowed deeply to Ling Yunzi, and said, "Thank you Immortal Elder for your help, the kid is grateful!" ”

"Help? I didn't say I was going down the mountain to help you! Ling Yunzi immediately retorted.

"What does that mean?" Xiao Ding hurriedly asked eagerly.

"I would love to help you, but I made a vow forty years ago that I would never go down the mountain again in this life. However, the method of conjuring spirits is not difficult, and it is not a secret art of any sect, since you know the art of the eye of heaven, it is okay for me to teach you this art of conjuring spirits, and it is okay for you to go back and save your friend after you learn it. Ling Yunzi said indifferently.

Xiao Ding suddenly heard that Ling Yunzi was going to teach him the secret art of conjuring spirits, and immediately felt overjoyed, and hurriedly bent down again to salute, bowed to the ground, and thanked him again and again: "Thank you Lingyun Dao Master!" The kid can't repay it, if there is a place for the kid in the future, he will send someone to the Pingxi General's Mansion in Zhongzhou to send a letter to the kid, and the kid will definitely go to the soup and die! ”
