Sitting in the private room on the third floor, looking at the sumptuous dinner in front of him, Chu Xiaofeng hooked a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, and looked at the old beggar without speaking, waiting for his explanation,

"Uncle, if I say that this restaurant is opened by me, believe it or not."

The old beggar smiled dumbly, and said softly, he picked up a piece of chicken leg, and didn't care about Chu Xiaofeng on the other side, and put it in his mouth for a burst of munching,

"Boy, although I am not very old, I have seen gambling, fun, lustful, and alcoholic, but I have never heard of anyone who likes to be a beggar, don't tell me that you are begging for this restaurant."

Chu Xiaofeng hugged his shoulders and looked at the old beggar on the other side devouring a lot of food, and felt a little funny in his heart, this old beggar is really interesting, he obviously has no shortage of livelihood, but he is willing to kneel on the ground and be a beggar,

"Haha the world, thousands of people and thousands of faces, who am I and who am I."

The old beggar threw the chicken bones on the ground casually, and said with a smile,

"I don't know what the old man is called."

Chu Xiaofeng listened to the old beggar's words, and was slightly stunned, this person behaved freely and unrestrainedly, but he was a wonderful person, and immediately put away his playfulness, maybe this person is really a master, and he can solve his doubts,

"I don't have a name, old man, but my friends on the road call me half-crazy."

The old beggar smiled, picked up another chicken leg, and chewed greedily, as if he wanted to swallow the whole chicken leg into his stomach, Chu Xiaofeng frowned, what is called a friend on the road, is this old beggar a cultivator, he picked up a piece of braised pork ribs, followed the old beggar's example, and stuffed it into his mouth,

The old beggar was a little surprised when he saw this, why did this young man behave like this, could he be the same as himself, he used to be a beggar, otherwise how could he have that kind of eating appearance,

"I said boy, you're here."

Half-mad put down the half chicken leg in his hand and asked curiously,

"I'm a guest and a host."

Chu Xiaofeng said while gnawing on the ribs, the old beggar laughed loudly, he also picked up a piece of braised pork ribs casually, stuffed it into his mouth, the two of them came and went, as if they were competing, a gust of wind swept the clouds, and quickly cleaned the table,

"Haha, I haven't eaten so happily for a long time, little brother is really a free and easy person."

Lying on the ground half-mad, he stroked his round belly with his hands, and hiccuped, Chu Xiaofeng was not much better, he was about to vomit, and it was a little difficult to even speak.

"Sir, you are a cultivator."

Chu Xiaofeng staggered over to the half-mad and sat down, asked softly, the half-mad nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "The vast universe, how big, I am just mixed in the gap between sentient beings, seeking some answers to the Heavenly Dao." ”

"That old gentleman knows where I came from."

Chu Xiaofeng listened to the half-crazy words, his eyes lit up, if he could be like Li Chunfeng, he could pinch and calculate, and he could also help himself divinate a hexagram and answer the doubts in his heart.

"Shout, are you testing me?"

The old beggar listened to Chu Xiaofeng's words, and hurriedly sat up, he took out a dark compass from his shabby cloth bag, and chanted at Chu Xiaofeng, as if he was chanting some incantation,

"Tsk, I can't even calculate your birthday, what's even more strange is that my compass doesn't react to everything about you at all, it's really strange, I said little brother, what kind of person are you."

Half-crazy while carefully calculating, while muttering to himself, he looked at Chu Xiaofeng suspiciously, carefully looked around his body, still nothing, Chu Xiaofeng heard this, his heart darkened, is he really going to live in a foreign land, he looked bitter, pulled out a smile, and carefully told his own affairs to the half-crazy,

Who knows, when he listened to Chu Xiaofeng's narration, he was stunned that the exercises of half a cup of tea did not come back to his senses, he grabbed Chu Xiaofeng's hand, looked at it carefully, and said excitedly: "My God, you are a ghost." ”

"I said, old man, what are you kidding, if I am a ghost, I can still wander back and forth in the daytime."

Chu Xiaofeng was half-crazy, he couldn't cry or laugh angrily, he thought he had met some master, it turned out to be a madman, he really deserved to be half-crazy,

"Hehe, just kidding, just kidding."

Seeing Chu Xiaofeng's suspicious expression, he hurriedly said, he thought for a while, and then said: "It's better for the little brother to follow me to Tai'e Mountain, there are many Taoist friends there, I believe that someone will definitely be able to answer the little brother's doubts." ”

"Mount Tai'e is the mountain behind this village and town."

Chu Xiaofeng asked in a low voice, that big mountain, he also looked at it carefully, it was majestic and high, and it was surrounded by clouds and mist, but it was a good place to go, but he was in a foreign land, how could he be in the mood to visit the mountains and rivers,

"Actually, I just arrived here in the past few days, every ten years, Tai'e Mountain will hold a conference on the Tao, when the time comes, Taoist friends from all over the world will rush here to participate in the conference, discuss the Tao together, count the days, it should also come, you might as well follow me up the mountain, maybe there are other gains."

Seeing Chu Xiaofeng's face of loss, he hurriedly persuaded him, in fact, he also wanted to find a companion, otherwise how lonely he would be along the way, if he found an ordinary person, other Taoist friends would definitely laugh at him, if he let such a special person go up the mountain with him, when the time comes, he will definitely be in the limelight.

"If what the old gentleman said is true, then Xiaofeng is willing to go together."

Chu Xiaofeng bowed solemnly to the old man, after all, people are helping themselves, the old man listened to Chu Xiaofeng's answer, laughed, and said excitedly: "I will order to go down, prepare dry food, and let's leave tomorrow." ”

Looking at the half-mad man who ran downstairs with a smile on his face, Chu Xiaofeng shook his head for a while, and said in his heart: What kind of master of cultivation is this, just a madman who has escaped alive,

On the second day, Chu Xiaofeng said goodbye to Meng Xiuting's family and followed the old beggar towards Tai'e Mountain, along the way Chu Xiaofeng just buried his head in the road, he had something in his heart and didn't want to talk more, but the old beggar chattered endlessly, talking about his previous strange experiences along the way,

One day, the two finally came to the foot of Tai'e Mountain, and saw that the mountain was as high as a cloud, boundless, steep and steep all around, there was no way to climb the rock, Chu Xiaofeng frowned, looking half-crazy, that meaning is obvious, how can we go up, half-crazy smiled, pulled Chu Xiaofeng and walked towards the stone wall quickly, Chu Xiaofeng's brows were getting tighter and tighter, did he plan to let himself hit the mountain,

Before he could ask Banluo, he saw a white mist suddenly rise in front of his eyes, which was still a faint mist at first, but then it became dense, and even the mountain wall in front of him began to blur, but Banlun took a step forward quickly, and pushed Chu Xiaofeng out, Chu Xiaofeng was still ready, and was pushed out, thinking that the opposite side was the mountain wall, and hurriedly blocked his hands in front of the door,

For a long time, the impact he imagined did not happen, he slowly opened his eyes, and saw that there was a road leading directly to Xiaohan in front of him, and layers of white smooth stone steps were neatly arranged on the avenue, and the old beggar was already standing in front of him, looking at him with a smile,

"This is the real place, we just now"

Chu Xiaofeng was a little dumbfounded, they obviously had a high mountain blocking the road in front of them just now, why was it a flat river at this time, it was a big road, could it be that there were really ghosts and gods in this world,

"Haha, this Tai'e Mountain has been a holy place for cultivation since ancient times, ordinary mortals can't go up, the road we are taking now is the old man's way, everyone has their own way, including yourself, some people can climb to the sky in one step, some people need a hundred years as the base, everyone's numerology is different, cultivation is different, and the road is different, so everyone has a different way."

Seeing Chu Xiaofeng's shocked look, he was very satisfied, seeing that this kid was extraordinary, his expression was indifferent, and it was a great achievement to be able to surprise him.

"I still don't understand what you're saying, but since this is your way, let's go."

Chu Xiaofeng shook his head, he really didn't understand, what the hell was this old beggar talking about, since it was the Tao, it was for people to walk, how could there be a difference between you and me, he tightened the burden on his body, walked slowly towards it, and followed behind half-madly, originally thinking that he was very windy to tell that big truth, this kid would definitely worship himself as a god, but he didn't react at all, which made half-madness extremely disappointed,
