Chapter 082: Discovering the Clues

Seeing that Lao Dao had already sat down, although Xu Xian was vigilant, he still calmly turned around and shouted to the shopkeeper, "Little Er, add a bowl and chopsticks." ”

"Let him serve another jar of wine." Lao Dao said loudly.

Xu Xian then shouted to the shopkeeper: "Another jar of good wine." ”

"Okay." The shopkeeper answered from a distance.

Xu Xian turned his face back and looked at the old Dao, at this time, of course, he no longer regarded the old Dao in front of him as an ordinary down-and-out Taoist.

The first meeting with the old Taoist priest was about the south road of Renhe Avenue in the east of the city, and the South Road of Renhe Avenue was ten miles away from here, and he took a carriage at a speed much faster than walking, but the old Taoist priest was able to find his foothold accurately.

However, he is not afraid, he has a meritorious reputation, and he is a tribute, and the Guozijian is nearby, which can be regarded as his own territory.

Seeing Xu Xian staring at him, the old Taoist priest smiled at Xu Xian in response, revealing a mouthful of teeth.

Xu Xian could see clearly that this old Taoist priest was in his sixties, and he actually had a complete tooth mouth and no missing teeth.

"Old man, how long do you live?" Xu Xian asked.

"Gao Shou? I don't remember. The old Taoist priest let loose the shape of the skeleton and said, "The old Taoist is alone, no one congratulates the old Taoist on his birthday, who remembers how many years he has lived." ”

"What's the use of knowing how many years you've lived? Remind yourself that you're about to fall into the ground? ”

Xu Xian was slightly stunned, and couldn't help laughing: "The old man's opinion is different. ”

While speaking, the shopkeeper had already delivered bowls and chopsticks and a jar of good wine.

When the old Taoist priest saw the good wine, he immediately reached out and grabbed it, quickly slapped the mud open, and drank it directly on the wine jar.

Xu Xian picked up the chopsticks again to eat, he was not in a hurry, since he came to the door, the other party would definitely take the initiative to go everywhere.

The old Taoist priest seemed to have forgotten his purpose after drinking, and only cared about drinking and eating, and he didn't even have time to look up at Xu Xian.

After a stick of incense, Xu Xian was full and put down his chopsticks.

At this time, the old Taoist priest also drank the jar of wine and patted his bulging belly with satisfaction.

"You're a good young man." The old Taoist priest said to himself, "The old Taoist can't eat you for nothing, I'll give you something." ”

As he spoke, he took out a talisman from his robe and handed it over: "Take it, it's good for you." ”

Xu Xian looked at the talisman, shook his head and said, "Thank you, but the kid is a Confucian disciple, regardless of gods and ghosts, the kid can't accept it." ”

Regardless of whether the talisman was a real spirit talisman or a deceptive thing, he would never accept it, because Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing around him were demons, and they cared most about the things of the Dao Sect and the Buddha Sect.

"Really?" The old Taoist priest asked.

Xu Xian shook his head and affirmed, "Don't." ”

"You pedantic scholar!" The old Taoist priest suddenly became a little annoyed, "Your Yin Hall is black, and your body is covered with ...... Ahem, you're in for a big deal. If Lao Dao is not soft-hearted, he will not bother to pay attention to you when he sees that you are not bad! ”

Xu Xian "chuckled" in his heart, and estimated that the old Taoist priest in front of him might have seen something.

"A gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement, and does not ask about gods and ghosts. Old man, take your leave. Xu Xian stood up, said a word to the old Taoist priest, and then left the dining table and strode back to the guest room.

The old Taoist priest looked at the back of Xu Xian leaving, and said angrily: "Confucianism is full of pedantics, you don't believe in gods and ghosts, just wait to be killed by demons." Don't think you're fine if you have Haoran Qi on your body, your little Haoran Qi is almost exhausted! When the aura of Haoran is exhausted, it will be your time of death! ”

Xu Xian returned to the guest room and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that the old Taoist priest had not followed.

Although Xiaoqing was no longer by his side and returned to Qiantang County, he was still worried that the old Taoist priest would entangle, and he found Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing along the way, and brought disaster to the two of them.

Then, he pondered: "In the past two or three months, Xiaoqing and I have been inseparable day and night, not to mention the joy of fish and water, and it is estimated that I am indeed contaminated with a lot of demonic energy." ”

"It seems that I can't go to Guozijian to report for the time being, I have to wait a few days to disperse the demonic energy on my body."

Having made up his mind, Xu Xian walked to the desk and picked up the scroll to read, but he was a little upset and restless, probably due to the influence of what happened just now.

After reading a book for a while, I impatiently threw it down and walked back and forth irritably in the guest room.

"Ahh How did I forget? Inadvertently, he saw the Chunlei Guqin, and suddenly remembered, "When the teacher passed on my "Wen Wang Cao", he once said that playing this song when you are restless can correct your thoughts, enhance the heroic spirit in your chest, and all evil cannot invade. ”

Thinking of this, he immediately took the Chunlei guqin and put it on the desk, skillfully adjusted the strings, and then plucked the strings and played "King Wen Cao".

The Holy Prophet has always admired music, believing that the study of human beings is "prosperous in poetry, standing in ceremony, and becoming in music" ("The Analects of Taber"), and believed that music can cultivate personality sentiments and is the highest state of personality cultivation.

Xu Xian played "Wen Wang Cao", his impetuous heart gradually calmed down, and his heart was immersed in the music, feeling the benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith of the Holy Master.

But said that the old Taoist, although he was annoyed that Xu Xian was pedantic, but after all, he couldn't watch Xu Xian being killed by demons.

In fact, he is a warm-hearted person, otherwise he would not have deliberately pretended to be hit by Xu Xian's carriage during the day, forced to stop Xu Xian's carriage, and watched if the demon sitting in the carriage was a demon. found that Xu Xian was human, but he was full of demonic energy, and he was about to be killed by demons, so he followed him all the way.

After Xu Xian checked into the inn, he also followed in, secretly guarding the roof, waiting for the demon who wanted to harm Xu Xian to come out, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't find that the demon was going to appear, so he had to give Xu Xian a spirit rune.

Therefore, after Xu Xian would meet the guest room, on the surface he did not follow, but in fact he still hid on the roof of Xu Xian's guest room, estimating that the demon would come to Xu Xian in the middle of the night.

The old Taoist priest hid on the roof, although he couldn't see what Xu Xian was doing, but he knew exactly what Xu Xian had done.

When he heard Xu Xian play "Wen Wang Cao", he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "This pedantic boy actually knows "Wen Wang Cao", which is a bit of a beginning." It's no wonder that he has a heroic qi to protect his body at a young age, and he has not been killed by the demon for at least two months. ”

Xu Xian played "Wenwang Cao" three times in a row before stopping, and at this moment his heart was like water, he picked up a copy of "Analects", and read it aloud with full attention.

After reading until the second watch late at night, Xu Xian put down the book and went to bed.

The poor old Taoist priest was blown by the cold wind on the roof, wet by the cold mist, and kept watch all night, not even the shadow of the demon.

After suffering for a night in vain, the old Taoist priest was a little annoyed, and he had to get rid of the demons around Xu Xian.

"Guard you for a few days, I don't believe you don't show up!" The old Taoist priest said viciously and hit the bar.
