Chapter 47: The Stepping Stone (Part II)

Along the way, he slowly thought about some of the problems that were bothering him at the moment, and he had no gain, and then Li Xi suddenly heard the excitement outside, and it seemed that the crowd was noisy, and the momentum was extremely great for a while.

As he frowned, the carriage had slowly stopped.

The coachman said outside: "Son, we can't walk, it is said that the road ahead is clear." ”

glanced at Li Yifeng, and then the two got off the carriage one after another, and sure enough, they saw that there were already soldiers on the street with knives and guns who were checking along the way, and all pedestrians, carriages and horses had to give way to the side of the road to clear the way for those who came.

Li Xi wondered what kind of noble person this was, and when he went out, he was going to make a big noise, so he turned his head around to take a look, and then asked the coachman who held the horse's head, "Is this to that place?" ”

When the coachman heard this, he replied openly, "Back to my lord, this is the main workshop." ”

Li Xi nodded, Wubenfang is next to Miyagi, it is really possible that some big man wants to pass by, after Wubenfang, you will go to the North-South Avenue, and then go south to the place where you live.

After coming to Chang'an, I have also encountered a few times when such big people have to clear the streets, each time there is a lot of delay, and you are not allowed to move during the street clearance, as long as you are shuttling in the crowd, there will be a suspicion of assassination, although the current peaceful and prosperous times, many rules are much more relaxed, where are so many assassins, but if the military attachΓ© and officers and soldiers who maintain order have to be more serious, this is really a big crime.

Thinking that those who can have such a style are generally important figures in the royal family, and even those important royal figures, in the current period of Xuanzong's reign, most of them no longer dare to put on such a grand style, that is, when King Xue and King Qi and other old princes officially meet, they need to put on a full guard of honor to clear the street, Li Xi couldn't help but shake his head and sigh that he was unlucky, and he didn't know how to rush so coincidentally.

Once he encountered Qingjie, it would take more than half an hour to say the least, and there was nothing to do, Li Xi turned around and saw that there was a restaurant not far behind him, so he beckoned Li Yifeng to sit upstairs for a while, and the coachman was waiting below to take care of the carriage.

On the way to the restaurant, he heard the discussion of passers-by on the side of the road, and Li Xi knew that it was not a royal figure who dared to pass by, but a Taoist known as "Mr. Tongxuan".

It is said that he was cultivated in Heng Mountain, born in Yao Shun, has been thousands of years old, the Emperor of Heaven has repeatedly recruited him, but he does not like the things of the world, so he has repeatedly conscripted, some time ago Hengzhou Thorn Shi Wei Ji recommended on the table, Emperor Xuanzong sent Xu Qiao to go in person, which called him into Chang'an, and now lives in a Taoist temple in this business.

It is said that in these days, Emperor Xuanzong personally asked, he was very respectful and courteous, and he relied on the princes in and out.

Listening to the discussion of the passers-by next to him about the mysterious origin of this Mr. Tongxuan, it is said that he has the art of Taoism, can call the wind and rain, and is also good at the art of life, etc., Li Xi couldn't help but laugh.

He wouldn't believe these things.

If some people who are skilled in cultivating the Tao, such as the great monk Mo Yan, can grasp some mysterious philosophical principles between heaven and earth, and thus have the ability of some great abnormal people, then there is still a difference between believing and not believing.

After all, until modern society, the Book of Changes is still a philosophical system that cannot be completely deciphered and is considered to be extremely magical.

But to say that a person can live for thousands of years without dying...... These things have to be heard as myths.

Turning his head to look at Li Yifeng, he was curious, and Li Xi was inconvenient to say anything.

He knew that in this era, even the most powerful reader seemed to know a lot of truths, but when he encountered such a strange and chaotic thing, he would still choose to believe it. Even if you don't believe it, you would rather respect it than dare to blaspheme. A person who has grown up in this atmosphere, even if he has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, it is still unrealistic to want him to be an atheist.

Walking into the restaurant, the first floor is completely full, and there is even a table around the lively place of more than a dozen people.

At this time, the sound of greeting and asking for things came and went, and the guys in the store were so busy that they didn't have time to entertain the new guests, so Li Xi raised his legs and went upstairs.

Upstairs, there was no seat.

But fortunately, there are still fewer guests here, so the guy can still come over to greet him, and when he heard that Li Xi was going to drink a pot of tea and rest, he suggested that they share a seat with others. The original intention was just to rest and watch the excitement, so naturally he was not picky, so Li Xi agreed, but when he turned his head and saw a back figure on a table by the window, he quickly waved his hand, pointed to the table and said, "No need, let's sit at that table, make two bowls of good tea, and have some fruit and snacks." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the person on the table by the window had already turned his head and smiled lightly, "Mr. Li, it's always good to say goodbye for a few months?" ”

Li Xi laughed, saluted from afar, and said, "Xi has seen the master, and this is a courtesy." ”

This person is Master Mo Yan, who has been wanted to see for a long time.

Speaking of which, it has been nearly three months since Shuzhou said goodbye, and at this time, when he saw his ugly face, Li Xi somehow felt a sense of closeness.

Li Xi and Li Yifeng went over and sat down, and first busily chatted for a while. After a while, the guy in the shop first cut a few fruit plates and sent them over, and after a while, he brought two more teas.

Li Xi smiled: "This time, the master has calculated that Xi will pass by here to have a cup of tea, so he waited here in advance?" ”

Old monk Mo Yan smiled when he heard this, and he didn't say anything, but said: "During the time you came to Chang'an, you did more than the old man expected. ”

Li Xi groaned when he heard this, and his fingers gently tapped on the table. Master Mo Yan is an insider, and he has a lot of help from him, so naturally there is no need to avoid it, so he said bluntly: "I'm afraid there is still a lack of opportunities!" ”

Old monk Mo Yan smiled when he heard this, "It's not far away." ”

Li Xi's eyes lit up when he heard this, this old monk has always been right in his words, whether he is a pedantic celestial being, or he really understands some unpredictable prophetic techniques, in short, since he intersected with him, he has always been true to his words, and he thinks that this time it will not be without a purpose, so he asked: "Can the master tell me one or two?" ”

Mo Yan smiled, "Let's drink tea, and drink tea, when the time comes, the cause and effect will be known." ”

He didn't say it, Li Xi naturally didn't want to ask, but his heart was itching.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion below, several people sat by the window, Li Xi leaned over and looked down when he heard the movement, but saw that the distant reliance had already come, and seeing the majestic and solemn reliance, Li Yifeng couldn't help but sigh, "It's really magnificent." ”

The old monk Mo Yan smiled and said, "This Mr. Tongxuan is also a master in the world, and it is said that gossiping with him will benefit both of us." Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, and when Li Xi turned his head to look at him, he smiled, pointed at Li Xi, and said, "He will still have a fate with you in the future, remember, you must cherish it." ”

Li Xi was shocked when he heard this, knowing that even if he asked again, the great monk Mo Yan would not say anything, so Li Xi couldn't help but ask, just turned his head and looked down, thinking in his heart, what fate can he have with this Mr. Tongxuan?

At this time, Mo Yan said again: "Mr. Tongxuan, surnamed Zhang, named Guo, known as Zhang Guolao, his best ability is actually not a technique of immortality, nor is it a call for wind and rain, but he has a pair of eyes that can peek through the heavens!" ”

When he said this, he seemed to have something to say, so Li Xi and Li Yifeng came back and sat down, ready to listen to him.

Just sat down, Li Xi reacted, but he was suddenly stunned.

Slow down...... Zhang Guolao?

It's a familiar name...... When I was a child, I grew up watching the TV series Eight Immortals across the sea! Dare to love This is not a myth, is there really such a person in history?

Li Xi Huoran got up and stood at the window to look down.

The chariot had gradually gone downstairs, but unfortunately, relying on the might, the flag was like a cloud, although a luxurious carriage was in the right place, but it was impossible to see people at all.

At this time, the old monk Mo Yan said lightly: "I have seen something with him, but his views with the old man are exactly different, he is in favor of conforming to the will of heaven, and the old man thinks, but there may be a glimmer of life, and he can't bear to see the people fall into fire and water......" Speaking of this, he saw Li Xi turn his head to look at himself, so he looked up, "Zi said, Zi said, Lao Ke's hard work, do you know?" ”

These words were like a morning bell in the evening, and they hit Li Xi's heart all of a sudden, making him almost unstable at the moment, and he had a feeling of wanting to fall down in dizziness - this Mo Yan was able to calculate the Anshi Rebellion a few years later!

That's a ...... It's amazing!

The car below passed calmly, and many people on the side of the road shouted "Mr. Tongxuan", but they could no longer interfere with Li Xi's thoughts, he returned to the table and sat down with a solemn face, his eyes looked closely at the old monk Mo Yan, and he trembled indescribably in his heart, "Master...... Why? I think in today's peaceful and prosperous world, where will there be any fire and water? ”

Mo Yan smiled, his eyes were full of clarity and indifference, "Thirty-six days of fighting, fortunately, Lao Qu chess was one game high, and he won half a game by luck, I hope it can help Zi Yue and help the people of the world." ”

Li Xi was silent when he heard this, but his heart was full of ups and downs.

At this time, after saying this, the old monk Mo Yan's face showed a touch of exhaustion like never before.

He raised his hand, drank a cup of tea, and said lightly: "The old man is leaving, if there is a chance to see him in the future...... Anyway, the celestial phenomena have changed, and the chances are unpredictable. My disciple and grandson have entrusted it to you, treat her well, and you will have your own benefits in the future. ”

Standing up to leave, after a moment's hesitation, he said again: "The stepping stone you want is already waiting at home, go home quickly." On the occasion of parting, the old man has a sentence to give him, the way of heaven, that is, humanity, Zi said, remember, remember! ”

After that, the old monk drifted downstairs, leaving only Li Yifeng and the second monk puzzled, looking at Li Xi, and then looking at the back of the old monk Mo Yan who disappeared at the stairs, he couldn't guess the dumb riddle between him and Li Xi.

Li Xi, on the other hand, sat with a stunned face, and was speechless for a long time.
