Chapter 17 Sloppy Taoist Priest

In the early morning of the next day, when it was just dawn, Zhang Taiji and his friends were woken up by the housekeeper Han Fu. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info simply had breakfast, packed up the luggage, left enough thanks to the owner and his wife, said goodbye and left, and went to Laoshan.

Walking on the winding mountain path, you can see that the sun has just risen over the sea, and the surrounding woods are still shrouded in mist, and the distant scenery is hazy. On both sides of the road, there are steep peaks and protruding strange rocks. I listened to the chirping of birds in the trees. The unknown beast roared; There is also the sound of the stream's waterfall tacting. Zhang Taiji took a deep breath of moist air. The air was filled with the aroma of trees and flowers, with a hint of saltiness of seawater. It's like a fairyland!!

Zhang Taiji walked with everyone while enjoying the scenery on the roadside. The team stopped suddenly, and Yuan Fang pointed to a boulder not far from the side of the road for people to see. There was a look of surprise on his face. Zhang Taiji followed his pointing and looked, only to see that this boulder was abruptly growing on the side of the road, two feet high, smooth on all sides, and there were no edges and corners to climb. And at the top of the boulder, there is a person who is impressive!! Zhang Taiji stepped forward to watch carefully. It is indeed a person, a middle-aged Taoist priest. The man's beard had obviously not been trimmed for a long time, his head was haphazardly combed, he was wearing only a shabby coat, and a pair of straw sandals on his feet, and the whole person looked sloppy. At this moment, this person is facing the rising sun, breathing and breathing, his expression is focused, and his breath is long, obviously not disturbed by Zhang Taiji and others.

Yuan Fang talked the most, and kept asking others, "How did that person get up?" So high! How will he come down later? Han Buxin said thoughtfully: "There should be a rope on the top, go up and down the rope, right?" Ling'er was still thinking about the story Zhang Taiji told last night, and asked Zhang Taiji: "Wouldn't this be the fairy you said?" Why are you wearing it so worn? Does he have no money to buy clothes? Zhang Taiji was also very curious, and was about to get closer and observe carefully. I only heard Mrs. Han Yue'e speak: "Let's go quickly, don't disturb the Taoist cultivator." Everyone could only obediently obey and continue to hurry step by step. Han Yue'e saw that she was far away from the Taoist priest, so she instructed Zhang Taiji and a few friends: "Cultivators, especially those who are ascetic just now, are mostly strange-tempered and highly skilled. If one accidentally provokes them, the consequences are unimaginable. So when you meet someone like that in the future, it's best to be cautious. "The friends were scared for a while when they heard it!!' Curiosity kills the cat', seeing that the Taoist priest just now must be a capable person, fortunately he didn't make him angry. Otherwise, if you are caught by that person on top of the stone, you will not be able to get down!

A few children talked and laughed, and after walking for a while, they began to sweat. They began to take off their thick clothes, fold them and put them in their backpacks. After walking for a while, the children were obviously exhausted, so they found a flat place on the mountain road and sat down to drink water and rest. The sun gradually rises, dispelling the mist, and the scenery in the distance is in full view, and from a distance, the mountains and seas are connected, and the mountains and seas are colorful. On one side is the blue sea and the sky, and the waves crash on the shore; On the other side is the green pine strange stone, lush, which makes people feel open-minded and refreshed. It really deserves to be "the house of the gods, the house of the supernatural."

A burst of singing came from down the mountain

Rootless trees, flowers are secluded, greedy for glory who is willing to rest.

Floating things, bitter sea boats, swinging and drifting are not free.

It is difficult to mooring without a shore, and often swims in a dangerous place.

Willing to look back, it's the shore, don't wait for the storm to break the boat......

Zhang Taiji listened attentively, and the tune was leisurely. is a middle-aged male voice. The content of the song is also catchy. As the sound of the song gradually gets closer. The sloppy Taoist priest on the boulder walked up the mountain road just now, and at this time the Taoist priest was carrying a large basket on his back, which looked bigger than this thin Taoist priest. I saw this sloppy Taoist priest, who seemed to be not fast, his body was slow, and he walked steadily. But in the blink of an eye, this sloppy Taoist priest came to a few people. The Taoist priest put down the back basket, and the back basket hit the ground with a 'bump' sound, which was obviously not light.

After putting the basket away, the Taoist priest smiled at everyone, clasped his hands into fists, bent down slightly, and said, "Immeasurable Tianzun, the poor road is polite" Han Yue'e got up and rushed to the Taoist priest to a thousand blessings, and said: "The Taoist chief is invited" The sloppy Taoist priest said with another salute: "I don't know the laymen, but you want to go to the incense?" Han Yue'e replied: "Exactly, I went to Taiqing Palace to make incense and make a wish." The sloppy Taoist priest answered: "The layman is merciful, the poor Dao is also going to the Taiqing Palace, and it happens to be on the same road." Han Yue'e said politely: "That's naturally good, we are worried that we are not familiar with the road, and it is really fortunate to have a long way to guide the way." Then he said: "Dare to ask how to call the long law number?" "Sloppy Taoist: "Poor Dao, Sanfeng Daoist is also." As soon as these words came out, Zhang Taiji couldn't help but exclaim: "Are you Zhang Sanfeng?" The sloppy Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Zhang Taiji's expression, his little face turned red. I couldn't help but wonder: "The poor Taoist family is indeed surnamed Zhang, how does the little layman know?" ”

Zhang Taiji took a few deep breaths and forcibly suppressed the throbbing in his heart. At first, he didn't speak, but looked carefully at this sloppy Taoist priest, the legend says that Zhang Sanfeng is rich and majestic, with a turtle-shaped crane back, big ears and round eyes, and a beard like a halberd. The sloppy Taoist priest in front of him was thin, slightly hunchbacked, with long hair, eyebrows, and beard, mixed with sludge and grass clippings. The clothes on his body were even more torn like a few pieces of cloth. On his feet were two broken straw sandals. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the legendary Tai Chi master, the head of Wudang, and the land immortal.

Zhang Taiji looked at the sloppy Taoist, and the sloppy Taoist priest was also very curious about the child in front of him. Because of this child's eyes, the light is exposed, and the expression on his face changes very quickly, and he knows at a glance that it is not an ordinary little doll. Even among adults, there are few people who are so alert! While looking at Zhang Taiji, one hand unconsciously wiped his beard, and nodded slightly from time to time...... Han Yue'e and a group of friends next to her looked stupid, and said in their hearts: "These two people are really strange!" There are so many people next to each other who are looking at each other's eyebrows and eyes! ! I don't know if I'm ashamed!! Han Yue'e saw an old man and a young man, the two looked at each other for a long time without speaking, and interrupted the two of them with a light cough. Chong sloppy Taoist priest said: "Dao Chief, do you need to drink water and rest for a while?" When the sloppy Taoist priest heard this, he came to his senses and saluted again: "The poor Taoist is rude, I see a spiritual light coming out of the top of the child's head!" At a young age, he has a clear bones, and he is a rare monk in a hundred years, and he will definitely soar to the sky every day!! ”

Zhang Taiji was speechless for a while, please can you change a set of words!! He also did not dare to hold it up, people should not be disgraced, and the sea water could not be measured. What if he is really the legendary Zhang Sanfeng? So he hurriedly returned the salute and said: "The Taoist chief praised it, but the kid didn't dare to be it" and continued without words: "Just asked the chief, what is in this back basket?" Why don't you guess it? "Oh!! ..... Can you guess? The sloppy Taoist priest was clearly interested. Zhang Taiji was playful, thinking in his heart, anyway, he is a child, if he guesses wrong, he can say 'Tong Yan Wuji' If he guesses correctly, he can also ask for some benefits by the way. So he shook his head and said, "The kid knows a little bit about the art of observing words and feelings, why don't I make a bet with the Taoist chief?" ”； The sloppy Taoist priest was even more curious, laughed twice and said: "Poor Dao is a monk, and he should not participate in gambling games. But I saw that the little boy was very clever. I'll gamble with you, just for fun. I don't know how the little boy gambles, and what this lottery is. ”

Zhang Taiji heard the agreement and hurriedly said, "I'll bet I can guess what's in your back basket." If I guess correctly, the Taoist needs to promise me one thing. ”

The sloppy Taoist priest asked, "What if you can't guess?" Also promised one thing? ”

Zhang Taiji immediately said categorically: "Of course, it is fair and reasonable. ”

The sloppy Taoist priest smiled and said, "Then the little boy, please guess what is in my basket." I don't embarrass you, I'll give you a little hint, this thing doesn't have Laoshan, it grows in the soil"

Zhang Taiji also said politely and directly: "I guess, there are a few winter-resistant plants in this basket" After listening to Zhang Taiji's answer, the sloppy Taoist priest widened his eyes and opened his mouth....
