Chapter 022: The Dao Gate is Deep, Deep as the Sea
Hearing the name Li Guidao, I, Grandpa Mai and Mai Xiaorou didn't react, but Zhang Rui next to us stood up with a "whoosh", he looked at the young man in a daze and said, "You say, are you Li Guidao?" ”
The young man smiled and continued to say in a clear and loud voice, "Why, can't I pronounce words clearly? ”
Zhang Rui immediately walked over and saluted respectfully, and then said, "I've seen Brother Li Dao, Xiaodao Zhang Rui is polite here." Chinese ≠≈.≠8=1z.="
Looking at Zhang Rui's reaction, Li Guidao seems to have a lot of origin.
I turned my head to look at Grandpa Mai, I didn't expect him to know such a big person, it seems that the Tang family's affairs are hopeful.
Li Guidao didn't answer Zhang Rui's words, because his backpack was squirming even more, as if something was about to pop out, he patted his backpack lightly, and then said in an extremely respectful voice: "Auntie, don't worry, we'll let you come out when we get to the Tang family in a while, in front of these people, it's not good for you to show up, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." ”
Li Guidao called the things in his backpack "aunt"?
Could it be that he was carrying a person in his backpack?
I couldn't help but be even more surprised when I saw Li Guidao's actions, Zhang Rui's expression changed again, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva and said, "Which of the five adults is here?" ”
Li Guidao did not answer Zhang Rui, but looked at Grandpa Mai and said, "Senior Mai, I will tell the Tang family about your affairs, don't worry, the Tang family will never trouble you again because of this matter, and the master also asked me to tell you a word." ”
Seeing that Zhang Rui was so respectful, Grandpa Mai also knew that Li Guidao was not small, so he hurriedly said: "Listen up!" ”
Li Guidao stood up straight, and said very seriously: "You have a good granddaughter!" ”
Grandpa Mai was stunned for a moment, and I also looked at Li Guidao with some puzzlement, while Mai Xiaorou smiled and said, "That's natural, I'm not bad!" ”
Grandpa Mai glared at Mai Xiaorou, and then hurriedly asked Li Guidao: "Dare to ask this fellow Daoist, has my granddaughter offended the commander?" ”
Li Guidao looked at the tea room and said, "Can you let me sit down and talk, I'm really thirsty all the way." ”
Grandpa Mai and Zhang Rui reached out almost at the same time to ask Li Guidao to sit down, but the two of them were not referring to the same seat, but to the position next to each other.
Li Guidao sat down directly to the position pointed out by Grandpa Mai, and Zhang Rui did not feel that he was refuted, but sat down next to him with a smile.
Li Guidao drank a few sips of tea, and after getting to know each other, he said: "My master was entrusted by the deceased to take care of this matter this time, and speaking of which, Senior Mai's face is really not small, and he actually recognized my master's friend." ”
Grandpa Mai said: "Your master's deceased is the master surnamed Xu?" ”
When Grandpa Mai said this, Zhang Rui's eyes widened again, obviously he seemed to know Li Guidao's master, and who Grandpa Mai said about the master surnamed Xu.
Li Guidao nodded and said: "Exactly, Master Xu has already retired, and suddenly came out to take care of the trivial matters in this world, and personally greeted my master and asked him to help, which is really rare." ”
Grandpa Mai said curiously: "I thought Xu Gaoren would come over in person." ”
Li Guidao shook his head: "This little thing is not enough for Uncle Xu, who is far away in Xiangxi, to make a trip in person, my master happens to be here in North China, so I asked my master, and the master sent me again, then again, how did Senior Mai and my Uncle Xu know each other." ”
It seems that Li Guidao's master and Xu Gaoren, whom Mai's predecessors know, may be brothers.
Grandpa Mai said: "Our Mai family has cultivated for generations, leaving a lot of unique Taoism and talismans, Xu Gaoren and I are because of a Tianji talisman of our Mai family, but the materials required by that talisman are extremely scarce, and the drawing process is even more difficult, in my opinion, it is even contrary to Taoist common sense, so I have always felt that when the talisman was inherited by our Mai family, there was a mistake in the description." ”
Speaking of this, Grandpa Mai smiled and said, "I'll make a long story short, when I mention Xu Gaoren, I can't help but talk at length." ”
Li Guidao also smiled back politely: "Senior Mai said that he was joking, and he could speak freely." ”
This Li Guidao's age looks similar to mine, but his conversation and temperament are not a few grades higher than mine, if I guess correctly, he should also be a descendant of a big Daomen.
Looking at Mai Xiaorou again, she also looked at Li Guidao with a curious face, but when she looked at Li Guidao's backpack, she showed a look of fear, she subconsciously leaned towards me, and then hugged my arm with both hands.
I asked Mai Xiaorou what was wrong, and she shook her head and said, "I can't say, I always feel that something powerful in that backpack is staring at me." ”
Grandpa Mai continued: "One day I went to Xiangxi, and strayed into the village where Xu Gaoren practiced, and when we chatted, we talked about the talisman, and when I was surprised, we had a lot of unique talismans in the Mai family, and he could actually draw them, and the quality was outrageous, so I asked him about the Tianji talisman, and Xu Gaoren said that he had never seen such a talisman, so he went to study it after my consent, who knew that he really drew the Tianji talisman, I also used the Heavenly Charm to spy on a person's catastrophe, and for this person, my granddaughter took risks."
Speaking of this, Grandpa Mai suddenly stopped, because if he continued to talk about it, he was going to confide in Mai Xiaorou is corpse.
After a pause, Grandpa Mai continued: "For that person, my granddaughter herself is in danger. ”
Saying that, Grandpa Mai looked at me, and it was obvious that the calamity that Xu Gao saw from the Heavenly Charm was mine.
Li Guidao also looked at me and said, "It should be this Taoist friend, dare to ask what kind of catastrophe it is?" ”
I shook my head, because Mai Xiaorou and Grandpa Mai had never talked to me about this in detail, but at this time I also knew in my heart that Mai Xiaorou borrowed my life to help me get through that catastrophe.
Grandpa Mai said for me: "Worry about my life! ”
So far, four words are enough to make me feel how much Mai Xiaorou has helped me.
Li Guidao didn't continue to ask, and after chatting a few words, Li Guidao said to us: "Senior Mai, I think it's better for you to have something to do with the Tang family, so don't go to the Tang family, I'll go by myself, but you can rest assured, after I go, this matter is basically over, what should you do, what should you do, what should you do, the Tang family will definitely not trouble you again, if they are disobedient, then I will help you get justice with my aunt." ”
As he spoke, Li Guidao glanced at the backpack next to him again, and the backpack also moved slightly.
After saying that, Li Guidao was about to get up and leave, and Zhang Rui also hurriedly followed, it seemed that he was going to go to Tang's house with Li Guidao.
When Li Guidao was about to leave, Mai Xiaorou asked: "How to deal with that scourge in the hat ditch?" If he was really released by someone with bad intentions, what should he do! ”
Li Guidao was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth twitched and repeated two words slightly: "Woe seed!" ”
As soon as Zhang Rui was about to say something, Li Guidao said coldly: "You don't have to worry about the hat ditch, my aunt and I will go there in person, don't worry, the 'curse' will not be born for the common people." ”
After speaking, Li Guidao went downstairs directly.
Zhang Rui also called Shangguan Hong and told her to give us a free order today, and then left with Li Guidao.
I asked Grandpa Mai, "Don't you have to send it?" ”
Grandpa Mai shook his head and said, "No need." ”
We didn't waste that pot of spiritual tea, and the three of us finished drinking the tea before leaving Tangfu Tea House and returning to Cuidi Chunxiao.
Back at the residence, I asked Grandpa Mai carefully, who is the Xu Gao person in his mouth, and he has such a big background, Grandpa Mai shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, I only know that he has a high status in the supernatural world, and I can't say the specific situation, no matter what, this time the trouble of the Tang family is settled, you and Xiaorou will settle down in the future, and deal with your own affairs well." ”
I know that Grandpa Mai is talking about Mai Xiaorou borrowing my life.
In the next few days, our lives were relatively stable, and we didn't hear that anyone was going to trouble us, and that Zhang Rui called me again, and he said that Li Guidao had helped us settle everything, and that Li Guidao really went to the hat ditch once and took away the "curse".
After saying this, Zhang Rui once again invited us to join the supernatural branch, but this time he did not represent the Tang family, but the Xiao family.
I asked Zhang Rui, which one is the Xiao family?
Zhang Rui said to me: "The Xiao family is the real owner of the North China Branch of the Spiritual Branch, and it is also the largest Daomen family in North China, and it has left the Tang family a few streets away. ”
I asked Zhang Rui if he was from the Xiao family or from the Tang family.
Zhang Rui said that he was not a two-family member, but a supernatural branch.
I didn't give a clear answer to whether Zhang Rui wanted to join, but just said perfunctorily: "I'll consider it." ”
Except for Zhang Rui's phone call, our lives have no waves.
Time flies quickly, it's only a week before I made an appointment with Mai Xiaorou to return my life, and I'm becoming more and more conflicted in my heart, these days I heard Grandpa Mai say that if Mai Xiaorou returns my life, then she can no longer forcibly break through her own soul confinement and come out to move, in that case, her natal soul may really be broken, so she really loses the opportunity to reincarnate.
In other words, after returning my life, Mai Xiaorou will fall into a long sleep.
Every time I think of this, I can't bear it, although Mai Xiaorou borrowed my life and consumed my life at the same time as me, but the time I spent with her was really happy, I couldn't bear her to fall into an endless sleep.
The closer the time gets, the more conflicted I feel and the more afraid I am of that day!
