Chapter 157: The Old Dao Leads the Way to Hide
Li Mi was not sure if it was safe enough to go to find Lu Kun this time, because Cheng Yu was very likely to have set a trap and was waiting for him Li Mi to drill inside, so Li Mi had to find some helpers.
Earlier, Jiang Taiyi brought 369 over, but 369 was mainly to protect Jiang Bi, and he did not follow Li Mi to Nanjing this time.
Then Xie Yingluo also appeared for a while, but she was concerned about Zhang Huangting, and she was only afraid that she would secretly pay attention to this eldest young master with a split personality on weekdays, and although the relationship with Li Mi had eased a little, it was not yet to the point where she was willing to be Li Mi's bodyguard.
Zhang Huangting's kung fu is good, but now he is jealous of Wang Shisu, and he has no time to take care of Li Mi, let alone be Li Mi's thug.
With Li Mi's three-legged cat kung fu and half-baked knife skills, it is not a fun thing to recklessly bump into Cheng Yu's "man-eater" net.
Since Chen Zhiwu was able to find Lu Kun's hiding place, and he was a disciple of Shao Yuanjie, he looked at it and had some skills, so Li Mi thought about letting him lead the way.
When he arrived in this small courtyard, Li Mi raised his voice and shouted, and after a while, Chen Zhiwu really walked out of the main room.
"It turned out to be Mr. Li's arrest, and it was also the old way that he lost his distance, I don't know what happened to Mr. Li's arrest?"
Li Mi also got straight to the point and said: "It's also reckless, I have a lot of help from the Taoist, and I haven't had time to thank you, and now I'm going to trouble the Taoist again......"
When Chen Zhiwu heard this, he also smiled slightly, and asked Li Mi: "Do you want Lao Dao to help guide the way?" ”
Li Mi also smiled honestly: "It's still the Taoist Chief's seven tricks and exquisite knowledge, and he has insight into people's hearts, and he can't hide anything from the Taoist Chief." ”
Chen Zhiwu was noncommittal, and said to Li Mi: "Lao Dao is a guest of the Wang family, the second son tells to do things, and Lao Dao does it truthfully, but the second son only asks Lao Dao to find someone, but he doesn't let Lao Dao lead the way, why does Lao Dao want to help you?" ”
Li Mi had already expected that Chen Zhiwu would not have a good time, otherwise why would he shrink into the Wang family, so he must act in a low-key manner, not daring to be high-minded, out of prudence, he would never agree to Li Mi so easily.
It's also a shame that I investigated in the concierge earlier, otherwise Li Mi would have already turned around and left, so why bother to be bored.
At this time, hearing Chen Zhiwu's question, Li Mi also replied honestly: "I don't dare to hide it, so that the Taoist knows that Jiang Taiyi is my parent, if you talk about friendship, I should call you Uncle Teacher, and the little nephew dares to be cheeky and ask for your help......"
Chen Zhiwu felt that Li Mi was a little unusual earlier, after all, he claimed to be proficient in the art of dealing with people, and when he heard Li Mi say this, he couldn't help but be surprised.
"No wonder Lao Dao always feels that you are kind and close, it turns out that you are actually a junior of Senior Brother Jiang, no wonder, I don't know what kind of relationship you have with Senior Brother?"
This Chen Zhiwu is a person who knows people's faces, and his ability to observe words and colors is the best, Li Mi naturally doesn't dare to lie to his face, but if he says it truthfully, it is not good.
After all, it is the most taboo to talk about it in a shallow way, and Li Mi has not yet understood the details of this person, so it is absolutely impossible to tell it all.
Li Mi wanted to say that Jiang Bi, the son of Jiang Taiyi, was frustrated with his career and got madness, so he was cured, but after thinking about it, Taoist priests and others usually know the art of disambiguation, and if he asks about it, he will show his cowardice on the spot, after all, he really doesn't understand medical skills.
If you say that you are a disciple of Jiang Taiyi, it is unlikely, and it is even more ridiculous to say that you are a senior of the clan.
After thinking about it, Li Mi said to Chen Zhiwu: "The old man Jiang Taiyi has a son, Jiang Bi, who knows Jiading County, and encounters an extremely difficult case, he doesn't think about tea and dinner, he falls into a daze, and he talks crazy all day long, and the official doesn't do it, so he locks himself in the room and does some crazy things......
"At that time, I went to Jiading County for business, and it was also a coincidence, I gave Jiang Bi some help in the case, the case has eyebrows, Jiang Bi's heart disease has also gone to most of it, the old man is a distressed son, for his son, he has not continued for many years, and he has not even practiced the art in the house of Longhu Mountain, so he will be grateful to me, promise me a favor, and treat me as a descendant."
What Li Mi said was not fake, but he hid the key points and did not mention the details, but every sentence was true, and he was not afraid that the old Taoist priest would see through his thoughts.
Chen Zhiwu really looked at Li Mi's eyes like a torch, staring at the corners of Li Mi's eyebrows and mouth, as if looking for a flaw in Li Mi's lying, but in the end he nodded and said to Li Mi.
"It turns out that there is this reason, and I won't hide it from you, although Senior Brother Jiang is a layman, he takes good care of my senior brother and others, and his kindness is not small, even if he treats you as a nephew, I can't stand idly by, and now I will take you to find that Lu Kun."
When Li Mi heard this, he was also overjoyed, don't look at this Chen Zhiwu black, thin and short, but he walks like the wind, the dragon and the tiger walk, and his eyes are shining, he is by no means mediocre, with the support of this person, Li Mi is also a little confident.
Li Mi waited for the old Taoist to clean up, and walked out with him, when he passed the gatehouse, the old man was also stunned, and he didn't expect Li Mi to really invite this old fairy, the more he couldn't understand Li Mi.
Seeing that he was about to find Lu Kun, where would Li Mi care about the thoughts of a disciple, after leaving the Wang family with the old Taoist, he didn't go to the suburbs outside the city, but went to the streets and cities!
The old Taoist Chen Zhiwu carried a blanket and held a banner in his hand, and there was no text on the banner, so he just embroidered some patterns of the stars of the Yellow Palace on it with gold thread.
Li Mi is not dressed up today, but dressed in a shirt, full of scholarly pomp, but the Qi family knife wrapped in black cloth is inserted in the back waist, which is a bit nondescript.
The old Taoist also asked questions along the way, and he still didn't feel at ease with Li Mi, but Li Mi answered all questions, which eliminated his concerns.
Because Li Mi knows very well that if he doesn't get enough trust from the old man, this person will definitely not be willing to die, if he really falls into Cheng Yu's trap, Li Mi still hopes that this old man can come to the rescue.
People say that the small is hidden in the wilderness, the middle is hidden in the city, and the big is hidden in the court, and Li Mi can be regarded as having a profound understanding this time.
The old Taoist took Li Mi to a steamed bun shop, stopped and whispered to Li Mi.
"This is it."
"Bun shop?" Li Mi is also a little unbelievable, in his opinion, Lu Kun, Wang Shizhen, Wang Hongzhi, are all famous Confucians, even if they are fleeing, they should also hide in the deep mountains and old forests, no matter how bad they are, they will settle in a small farm yard like Jiang Taiyi.
Who would have thought that the great Confucian, who was famous all over the world in the past, was once an important minister of the imperial court, and he would hide in a steamed bun shop in Jinling City!
Although he was a little stunned, Li Mi quickly admired a little, which also showed that Lu Kun was not a mediocre person, even he Li Mi felt unbelievable, who else would have thought that Lu Kun would hide in the bun shop?
Li Mi thought for a while, and said to Chen Zhiwu: "Don't bother the two masters, send the Buddha to the west, and bother the Taoist to help open a road, after all, I have a Suzhou accent, and I am a noodle person, if I open my mouth, I will definitely startle the snake and scare Lu Kun away......"
Chen Zhiwu knew that Li Mi was a cautious person, and Li Mi answered many questions along the way, and Li Mi also answered frankly, and he helped others to the end.
But seeing that this old man walked to the side of the stall in front of the shop, and saw that the old woman selling buns was dressed in black, with a wooden hairpin on her head, and a yin and yang fish embroidered on her sleeve. ”
The old woman was a little vigilant at the beginning, and when she saw Chen Zhiwu's Dao bone fairy wind, and then saw the banner in Chen Zhiwu's hand, she was a little overjoyed and said to Chen Zhiwu.
"The immortal master asked, where can the old woman ......afford it," the old woman said, wrapped a few large meat buns, offered them with both hands, and said to Chen.
"The immortal master has traveled all over the world, and it has been hard to eat and drink dew, and it is also ......"
In the eyes of many people, monks and Taoists need to turn into a relationship and accept the generosity of the donor, but in fact, in this regard, the Taoist usually does not do much, the Taoist drinks mountain springs when he is thirsty, and eats wild fruit leaves when he is hungry.
Don't you see that monks are usually fat-headed and big-eared, while Taoists are lean and clear?
However, in the eyes of secular people, Taoists are no different from monks, and they all need to reach out to transform their fate.
This old woman is obviously a religious person, and seeing that Chen Zhiwu has an extraordinary bearing, she offered a meat bun, but Chen Zhiwu waved his hand and said to the old woman.
"Since the female layman can see that the poor man is not a vulgar person, why should she respect it with vulgar etiquette."
When the old woman heard this, her face was also ashamed, and she said to Chen: "The lesson of the immortal master is that the old woman is also a person in the market, and she is confused, so please invite the immortal master to sit inside, and wait for the old woman to make a pot of tea to serve her." ”
When Chen Zhiwu heard this, he nodded, walked straight to the store, crossed the threshold, and said to the old woman.
"The one in the back is my new disciple, looking slippery, you don't have to let him in, just let him take a look at the stall for you."
Chen Zhiwu also said the opposite, the old woman saw that Li Mi had a handsome face and was upright, where was there any slippery philistine, besides, let Li Mi look at the stall outside, she was also unwilling, so she said to Chen Zhiwu.
"Where is the immortal master, since he is a little fairy child, he should be invited in, how can he be neglected outside."
At this time, Li Mi also knew that this old Taoist Chen Zhiwu was a person who looked at people's hearts to do things, and he couldn't help but admire three points in his heart, and he didn't dare to speak at the moment, pretending to be honest and sincere.
Chen Zhiwu said to Li Mi without being salty: "Since the good women have already spoken, thank you, come in and have a sip of tea before leaving." ”
Li Mi didn't dare to be complacent, pretending to be cautious and nodded, "Yes, Master." ”
Then he thanked the old woman and said, "Thank you, Mom." ”
The old woman didn't know what to think of, but when she saw that Li Mi was so well-behaved, her eyes were red, and she responded to Li Mi's call and invited Li Mi in.
This shop is not too big, but there is a back door, I saw from the outside that there is a backyard earlier, and I think that Lu Kun should hide in the backyard.
Li Mi didn't dare to sit still, glanced at Chen Zhiwu, and began to think of countermeasures in his heart.
Later, the old mother went to boil water and make tea, and she had to pretend to have a stomachache and run away or something, and she wanted to find a reason to go to the backyard for a walk, and she was not afraid that she would not be able to see Lu Kun!
It's just that Li Mi soon found out that the situation was not as he imagined at all, because the old mother smiled at the two of them.
"There's no one to watch over here, and the old man closes the door......," she said, and she slowly closed the door.
But when she put the six-foot-high door panel together piece by piece, she breathed smoothly and didn't have the slightest breath!
