Chapter 53: Return to the Sect Master

When everyone in Bianliang City was busy defending Emperor Chai Rong, a family of three came on the official road from Luoyang to Jingzhaofu (Chang'an).

It's so miserable, this family is all asking for food.

The man is of medium to short height, with a big square face, two mustaches on his mouth, and he looks like he has a lot of strength;

The woman is difficult to hide her beauty, she looks white and pure as if she has read a book, and her face is a little dusty, and she looks dusty.

The child brought by the two was a little girl, seven or eight years old, with a red apple face.

You jerk over, and that's a reaction:

This should be a rich family, running to experience the life of the poor, and teach the children to study hard, otherwise they will have to eat.

"Master," the little girl asked the man, "why do we have to pretend to be begging for food?" ”

"What master, how many times have you told you, we are on the run, we want to call Dad."

"Okay Dad. Master, why do we have to pretend to be asking for food? ”

The teacher was speechless, "Let's ask your father, Xiao Duo." ”

This "family of three" is Zhang Huan, Mrs. Zhang's Tang Lin and Xu Xiaoduo who escaped from Longhu Mountain.

According to Zhang Daoye's "great plan", when the three of them get off the mountain, they will have to eat for a living.

The matter has to start from the day Zhou Zhuocheng sent people to burn Longhu Mountain.

As soon as the Southern Tang army came that day, Zhang Huan and Tang Lin in the back mountain got the news.

Although Tang Daochang is a Kun Dao, he is a man among women, with strong martial arts and great courage, she took the double swords, and she was about to go to the Heavenly Master's Mansion.

"Let's go, beat their turtle son!" Tang Lin looked excited.

"Monks, don't talk foul language!" Zhang Huan said sullenly.

"Let's go and kill it!" Tang Lin said.

"What are you going to do?" Zhang Huan asked.

"Fight the enemy."

"First, they are the officials and soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and they may have a will, do you want to oppose the imperial court?"

"I didn't think about that."

"Second, what if there is a necromancy?"

This is the most fearful and distressing thing in Zhang Huan's heart.

Since Zhang Huan fought with the necromancer, the emotional energy that was sucked away by the enemy has not been able to recover.

He thought about that night repeatedly, and all kinds of palpitations in his heart.

"Let's run away." Zhang Huan hurriedly packed his luggage.

"There is a father-in-law and an uncle, and you, four people can fight four necromancers." Tang Daochang was not afraid.

"What about Xiao Duo? They came for Xiao Duo. Zhang Huan rummaged for the key.

"That's right, and Xiao Duo, isn't Xiao Duo afraid of crying and screaming?" Tang Lin happily slapped his palms with his fists.

"Don't try, that kind of power will make Longhu Mountain collapse." Zhang Huan took out a large bunch of keys and looked for the right one.

"And what do you suggest?" Tang Lin asked.

"If you don't take the child, let's run." Zhang Huan finally found the right key.

"Run? This is our own home, the place where we have the most people, and we don't guard it here, where can we run? "Daoist Tang is getting more and more confused.

"Think about what other powerful relatives we have......" Zhang Huan began to flip through the address books of various relatives and friends, and on a small notebook, everyone's addresses were written in small letters.

Tang Lin held his hand down.

"The most powerful person in our family is Xianggong, why have you been getting more and more cowardly lately......"

Tang Lin felt that Zhang Huan felt more and more strange.

"Yes, yes, it seems to be really ......" Zhang Huan looked frustrated.

"Are you afraid of necromancy?" Tang Lin asked.

"You have to say it." Zhang Huan squatted on the ground and hugged his head.

"Seeing my best brother tortured, self-immolated, and fought against necromancers, I don't seem to have the confidence to fight at all." Zhang Huan said.

Tang Lin thought about it and gave Zhang Huan a hug.

"Isn't it better?" Tang Lin asked.

"Not really." Zhang Huan said.

He couldn't help but grab the key in his hand and began to cry.

"When Xu Zhixun and I were in our twenties, we could deal with two necromancers together, and I think after practicing for twenty years, we should be able to fight two, but we almost died, and ......"

"And I'm still afraid of this kind of thing, right?" Tang Lin said.

"Yes." Zhang Huan said.

"Look at my hand......"

Tang Lin saw Zhang Huan's hand holding the key, and trembled.

Zhang Huan has been completely crushed by the ability of necromancy to squeeze emotional power.

In fact, there was no necromancy on Longhu Mountain that day.

But just thinking about this kind of monster already made Zhang Huan annoyed.

"I'm sorry, I'm scared, don't let the child see it." Zhang Huan kept his voice low.

Tang Lin held Zhang Huan's hand, "You're not cowardly, you're sick." ”

"Let's go to Huashan, Master may be able to help you." Tang Lin said.

"Xiao Duo."

"Master!"

"Help the master pack her luggage, and we'll go." Tang Lin commanded.

The master that Tang Daochang said was not Zhang Huan's master, but Tang Lin's master.

Tang Lin's master is very famous, he is the old Taoist immortal Chen Tuan, who was almost eighty years old that year.

"Wait, just go out?" Zhang Huan asked.

"What else are you going to do?" Tang Lin looked at him.

"Before you run away, you have to put on makeup." Zhang Huan looked excited.

"Disguise!" Xiao Duo looked surprised.

"I've been ready for a long time!" mentioned running away, Zhang Huan's hand holding the key suddenly stopped shaking.

Zhang Huan used the key to open a treasure chest inlaid with luodian.

From it, he took out three sets of patched beggar suits and three water hyacinths, all of which were two large and one small.

"When I got back, I was getting ready to escape...... You see, it's prepared according to the size of the three of us, don't see through it, it's clean! Zhang Huan looked excited.

"How do you have a deep love for running away!" Tang Lin looked helpless.

"I'm ashamed to say it, but when I came back from this trip, I was scared when I thought about fighting, and when I was ready to escape, I could get peace of mind......," Zhang Huan said.

"Master, it's not right for you to do this, you should fight the bad guys." Xiao Duo said.

"That's easy to say." Zhang Huan muttered.

"Huh? Master, what did you say? Xiao Duo asked.

"It's not easy for me to say, bad people are also raised by their parents, and it's too pitiful to be stabbed to death." Zhang Huan hurriedly played a round.

Xiao Duo went to get her clothes, and Zhang Huan whispered to Tang Lin:

"I've worked hard, and in the first month I came back, I wrote a lot of surrenders......"

Zhang Huan's face was full of shame.

"Anyway, please change your clothes."

Zhang Huan took his own set and went next door to change it.

Tang Lin also looked helpless, and hurriedly took Xiao Duo to change into a brand-new beggar suit.

It's really eye-catching, brand new clothes, new patches, and Grandma Li who can sing the red light with a red light.

"What the hell is this fool up with?" Tang Lin shook his head and sighed, but he didn't want to say much.

"Master, is this okay?" Xiao Duo asked.

"You can't call Master in the future, from now on, call me Dad, and call you Master and Mother. It's a matter of life and death, not child's play! Zhang Huan looked serious.

The "family of three" went down the mountain in ragged clothes and happened to see the boatman Lao Zhao.

"Daochang Zhang! Tang Daochang, do you want to go down the mountain? ”

"Lao Zhao, how can you tell that I am Zhang Daochang in disguise?"

"Master Dao is really joking, we've been playing chess for 20 years, and you're still looking for me to fish together, can I still know you?" Lao Zhao said with a smile.

"Looks like we'll have to cover my face." Zhang Huan hurriedly looked for rags.

"It's useless to cover it, there is no second person in Longhu Mountain, there is a head as big as you!" Lao Zhao is also poisonous.

Zhang Huan angrily blasted Tang Lin and Xiao Duo into the cabin, and then forcibly took Lao Zhao's straw hat away.

"The big round face and a straw hat are still wearing, Master Dao, are you going to be the king of the pirates?"

"Shut up, Lao Zhao! No one sells you like a dumb person! Zhang Huan pretended to be asleep.

The boat was swung across the river, and the three of them crossed the path, tossing and turning.

It's really interlaced like a mountain.

As a Taoist priest, Zhang Huan is an expert, and when he saw a little demonic spirit, he knocked on someone's door, and then detained the fox and negotiated it, and the fox with low Taoism forcibly scared him away; The fox with a high line of Taoism pitifully moved people away, and then the Taoist master took the money, ate fragrant and drank spicy food, and never lost money.

But when it comes to asking for food, he has no experience at all.

There is a way to sing what song on what mountain.

For example, if you are dressed as a Taoist priest, you can make a relationship with people, tell fortunes, talk about marriage, do things, and catch foxes, and then you should eat and eat, and no one cares about it.

For example, if you are a businessman, you can live in a hotel, rent a car, buy a horse, negotiate prices, buy goods, and then you should eat and eat, and you should go to the restaurant and go to the restaurant, and no one will stop you.

However, when you dress up as a flower child, you can beg for food, sell art, and ask for food, others will be suspicious when you buy meat, others will be suspicious when you buy wine, and others will blow you out when you go to the restaurant, so you have to sleep under the bridge cave - the cement pipe has not been invented in the fifth generation.

When I walked to the vicinity of Ezhou, the change was spent.

Tang Lin was more careful than Zhang Huan, and she had money on her, but what kind of money did she bring? Gold leaf.

This thing is the legendary soft and soft, we say "soft running", that is, running with gold leaves, valuable clothes and jewelry.

Zhang Huan volunteered and took a piece of gold leaf into the gold shop, and when he entered, he was blasted out by the guys.

Later, I went to the pawnshop to try it again, and this time the guy was more straightforward and reported directly to the official.

Daoist Tang complained to Zhang Huan, what a bad idea, hurry up and find a Taoist temple, and it is serious to buy a few Taoist robes with others.

But Zhang Daoye had to carry it to death, saying that Yongzhi investigated the poverty problem of farmers near Tanzhou and became a flower for three months, and we will definitely be able to do it.

Later, I found out that it was risky to exchange money, so I had to honestly live like I really called Hanako, that is, to ask for food.

If you want food, you have to be able to ask for it, and there are several kinds of flowers called since ancient times:

Daddy: Sitting in a place, grandpa and grandma are shouting, asking someone to give change.

Patting bricks: Shirtless, holding a brick to the heart, patting all over the body, everyone can't bear to look at it, give him some change.

Leg hugger: Seeing a person who feels good-looking, he goes over to hug his thigh, rubs his big snot and sticky phlegm against the person, and forcibly asks for money. Today, many little girls sell roses to couples (in fact, they are moon seasons), and they are such variants.

There is also the most difficult one, which is to sing happy songs.

When Zhang Daoye decided to make up as a flower child, he chose this Shura difficulty.

So when he saw that there was no money and that it was risky to exchange money, he took out the seven bamboo planks in his baggage.

Tang Lin and Xiao Duo finally understood what was going on when they lived in the bridge cave a while ago, there was always a chirping sound nearby, and it was Zhang Daoye who was secretly cultivating.

"Wait, Daddy will go out and earn money."

"Dad, be careful of other people's dogs."

"Don't worry, Dad has brought a dog beating stick."

Tang Lin's nose was almost crooked, what is this called, it is really into the play, and she is asking for food with herself.

"I took a big step forward in playing bamboo boards, and the shopkeeper opened a noodle shop."

"Cut the noodle shop, sell the cut noodles, as soon as the dough comes out, an egg, roll it out, a large piece, cut out, a line, one person eats half a catty, a servant eats a catty and a half, the big shopkeeper counts, and today is really rich."

"Word by word!" Zhang Daoye was satisfied, "I'm a genius in rap." ”

The shopkeeper grabbed a pound and a half of cut noodles, cooked them and poured them into Zhang Daoye's bowl.

"Eat cut noodles today!" Zhang Daoye came back, and he was proud in front of his wife and children.

"Is this okay? Xianggong, I think we should find a Taoist temple, give people some money, and exchange it for Taoist decoration. ”

"How many times have you said it, what is the name of the lady who asks for food? Call the child her daddy! ”

Xiao Duo snorted and ate noodles.

"I've got talent! Hahaha, a lifelong literary dream, I didn't expect it to come true in my forties, all the way to Huashan, I can have a public performance, and I will try to write a legendary novel again...... Three times a day, 10,000 words each time! Zhang Huan was triumphant.

As soon as I walked to Henan, the meal was about to arrive.

This place is not as many as the big cities and towns in Ezhou, most of them are townships, there are not so many transactions, and they go to other people's houses to ask for food, and the common people see Zhang Huan's sturdy body, so they don't give him food, and they all persuade him to participate in labor.

"This year's harvest, a lot of grain to dry, to scoop, you man has the strength, help us work for food, not to mention full before winter, even winter clothes can be made!"

"That's a lot of delay!"

"You're in a hurry to buy a horse!" The door was slammed shut.

"It's impossible to work part-time!" Zhang Daoye jumped outside the door and was irritable.

It's really getting colder every day.

Don't mention the child crying and the two arguing.

The child can't walk, so he takes turns carrying it.

After walking for a month, I saw that I had walked to the foot of Huashan Mountain.

Tang Lin hurriedly found a Sanqingguan and gave the host a gold leaf, saying that his family was a Taoist priest in distress, and the Taoist temple was burned down by a strongman, and he came to Huashan to join his master Chen Tuan Ancestor.

When the host heard that it was Chen Luan's ancestor's apprentice, he resolutely refused to ask for money, changed their clothes, gave them vegetarian food, and the three of them ate and drank all of them, which was considered to have recovered their vitality.

The host saw that Zhang Huan had a big head and a round face, he was not a fairy, and he was also very contemptuous of him, and he was polite to Tang Lin.

"This senior sister, you are a disciple of the ancestor, what a blessing."

"The viewer is polite, don't you know that my master is still on Mount Hua?" Tang Lin asked.

"The ancestor moved to Shaohua Mountain the year before last, there are still sixty miles away from here, there is a Zhang Chaogu in Shaohua Mountain who built a Huilang Temple, he established a new faction, and he opened a mountain and established a faction, and we all call him the leader of the Huilang Sect."

"Sounds sleepy." Zhang Huan complained while eating the flatbread dipping sauce.

"What nonsense?" Tang Lin said angrily.

"Although this Daoist brother is mediocre, he is really not wrong." The host said with a smile, there are pilgrims who have gone up the mountain, and said that the biggest feature of returning to the cage is a strong sense of sleepiness.

"Drowsy?" Tang Lin asked.

"Zhang Chaogu has been shrouded in fog for many years, and the people who go up the mountain can't help but be tired and sleepy, and they go into the temple to listen to the ancestors' teachings, and they fall asleep after listening to them, and some people can even sleep for three days in a row." The host said.

"Is this Master's new skill?" Tang Lin muttered to herself.

"This is the right fit for me." Zhang Huan said.

"I won't leave you to live here, go up the mountain to the ancestor and sleep more soundly." The host said with a smile.

The three of them ate and drank to their heart's content, thanked the host, and went straight to Zhang Chaogu.

As soon as I arrived at the mouth of the valley, I saw the inscriptions on the stone wall.

Since ancient times, there are many carved words on the stone wall of the famous mountain.

Some write "Buddha", some write "longevity", and some write "Tao".

But on the stone wall of Zhang Chaogu, there is a huge word "sleep" written.

"Mother, I'm sleepy." Xiao Duo rubbed her eyes and said.

"Why is this kid sleepy?" Tang Lin said.

Zhang Huan carried Xiao Duo on his back and walked into the mist with Tang Lin.

Sure enough, the more sleepy I walked, the deeper I went, the thick sleepiness inevitably came to my face.

A plaque on a door reads four large characters:

"It's a blessing to be sleepy first."

A little Taoist boy who knew the guest at the door was snoring loudly.

Tang Lin couldn't open his eyes anymore, only Zhang Huan forcibly resisted the powerful sleepiness, and thought to himself:

"It's miserable, I'm afraid it's a plot!"

At this time, an old voice came from the ear, with a stereo reverberation:

"Don't control it, try to get some sleep!"
