Chapter Seventy-Seven: Strange Daoist
After listening to Ah Da's words, a master and a servant led two tall horses to walk slowly in the early spring mountains. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The West Mountain is not high, even if you go, it won't take an hour to go up, and Master Xuanzang doesn't live on the mountain. He built a few thatched huts halfway up the mountain. So Helan Minzhi is not very anxious, it just so happens that he really listened to Ah Da's words, and appreciated the scenery of early spring.
However, thanks to his words, the snow in the mountains still did not completely melt. Although the mountain is not high, the snow on the shady slopes is not easy to melt due to the short time of exposure to the sun. And this winter, Chang'an has a lot of snow in this area, and it will come like this every ten days and eight days. There is no one to clean the mountain, and this layer falls on the next layer, and it is naturally piled up here.
Often the first step is still a loess mat, and the next step is snow-covered ground.
If you look closely, you can see the little bit of green in the snowless loess. Although the grass did not fully show its head, it had already revealed a thin tender tip. If you don't look closely, you really can't see it clearly.
He gently patted the goose's head and motioned for it to stay by himself for a while. Helan Minzhi bent down, took a step back, and gently lifted up the largest grass near his feet. Then they patted each other with their hands, and then continued to pull the reins of the flying geese and walked forward.
Ah Da laughed: "Young master, what are you doing?" ”
"If you step down, you may lose your life, not good, not good. I went to see the master of Buddhism, every grass and tree is equal, how can I increase my karma? With a little Zen machine, with the appearance of a three-point monk shaking his head and joking.
"Hahaha, what are you talking about, one grass and one tree, all beings are equal, I don't believe it, and I don't understand it. But I know that the grass under your feet, let alone if you step on it, even if you set it on fire, it won't die. There was a hint of ridicule in his tone.
Helan Minzhi didn't care about his ridicule either, and he didn't pay attention to it. just shook his head slightly, he was not really a teenager who did not know the world, how could he not know the tenacity of the vitality of this wildfire inexhaustible weed? To do so is nothing but the pursuit of a kind of taste, this layman! led the geese to continue to move forward, a master and a servant were all smiling.
What neither Ah Da nor he knew was that his small move was seen by a Taoist priest in the rear. The Taoist priest smiled slightly, and then stepped back slightly. In the blink of an eye, he withdrew from a distance of dozens of meters, and he didn't know how much faster than Ah Da in terms of body shape. I saw that his steps were orderly, and between dodging left and right, he actually hid his figure from the snow-covered mountain path.
Birdsong, greenery, early spring, and I still seem to hear a little bit of mountain spring melting. Helan Minzhi looked at the sky, the sun was shining on the earth, the sky was blue and blue, and the weather was good. Breathing a breath of air that belonged to Datang, he admitted that he was drunk. It's in this Tang Dynasty, in this deep mountain, between this heaven and earth.
After coming here for several years, Helan Minzhi has no sense of rustiness, and he seems to be the purest Tang person. No matter what he does, what he says or does, he has truly and completely integrated into this era. This belongs to the era of the Tang Empire.
It has to be said that no matter where you are, there will always be some people who spoil the atmosphere. There will always be people who are good at interrupting others.
Just when neither of them noticed, a Taoist priest appeared on the snow-covered mountain road in front of them.
When Helan Minzhi was enjoying himself incomparably, the Taoist priest sang a country tune that he didn't know what it was with an accent that he didn't know where. Interrupting all his thoughts, Ah Da also looked a little surprised, and both of them looked towards the Taoist priest in front of them.
This look was even more surprising. Obviously, it was early spring, and this Taoist priest was only wearing a thin Taoist robe, and he was lying in the snow with his chest and back exposed.
Helan Minzhi's eyes widened in an instant, and he quickly pinched Ah Da. He instantly screamed: "Young master, what are you pinching me for?" ”
"Do you hurt?"
"What you said, you pinch me so hard, can I not hurt?" As he spoke, Ah Da hurriedly rubbed his arm.
"It hurts, it's not a dream." said to Ah Da in a gloomy tone: "You say, let's hit a ghost, right?" ”
Listening to his gloomy tone, Ah Da, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, also trembled a little, and the corners of his mouth trembled: "Less... Young master, you, you, don't scare me. In broad daylight, how can you hit a ghost? And don't you say that Master Xuanzang is still there? What wild ghost dares to do it, do it, do it in front of his old man? ”
Listening to Ah Da's stammering trill, Helan Minzhi couldn't hold back for a moment, and looked up to the sky and laughed: "I scared you, you really believe it." Then he walked towards the Taoist priest in a serious manner.
Seeing Helan Minzhi walking forward as if he was fine, the corners of Ah Da's mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't know what he should do or what to say. had to pull the reins stiffly, and Mu Ne followed behind him, already in a completely rigid state.
When I got closer, I saw that this open-chested and bareback Taoist priest was no longer young. His beard was white, and his hair was tied to his head with a wooden stick without the slightest decoration, and the rest was scattered behind him. According to this point, Helan Minzhi concluded that this Taoist priest ,,, not ordinary!
In the Tang Dynasty, every adult had to have his own hairstyle. Even men's hairstyles are fixed. If you are scattered behind you, it is very easy to be regarded as a neurotic character, or even discriminated against. But this old Taoist priest didn't care at all, and he was lying in the snow with his chest and back bare, which was really unimaginable.
It may be a bit too much to say that the clothes are ragged, but the area of those two or three patches is really not small. With the dark blue robe, it looks a little pitiful. Although the patches on this robe are not small, they are cleanly washed, and there is no trace of oil or dirt.
However, if you look closely, you can see it. Although this is in tattered clothes, this Taoist priest should not be the kind of person who begs on the street, neither on his hands, nor on his face, nor on his body has the slightest frostbite. Especially the skin on the face and hands is very good. Not to mention that it is comparable to himself, so tender. But Bia is still more than enough, at least it shouldn't be the skin of such an old Taoist priest.
Helan Min's eyes were full of solemnity, such a person must be a hermit master. It is definitely not for nothing that this is happening today. But his face was impassive, he smiled at the old Taoist priest, and then bowed his hand: "I don't know why the reason is here?" The ground is full of snow, I'm afraid it will hurt your body, so please get up first! ”
