Chapter 63: Yama wants you to die for the third watch, how can I keep you until the fifth watch
Wudang Taoist fasting is similar to Buddhism, which avoids eating meat and fishy food and mainly uses natural food. A metaphor for Taoist thought: Taoism is natural, back to the basics.
Especially famous delicacies such as: Xianshan vegetarian four treasures, Taihe abalone, etc., are all vegetarian meat dishes, named meat dishes, is expected to quench the thirst of plum.
Wudang Mountain is not only famous for Taoism, but also worshiped by the secular world. There is an endless stream of pilgrims coming and going, and it is highly respected.
The folk food at the foot of Wudang Mountain is even more unforgettable.
Xiuyuan and the old man walked on the bustling and lively street one after another, and it was already dark when they came down from the mountain, but the brightly lit street was like a city that never sleeps.
"When it's time to arrive, I said, can you hurry up? How many hours have you been delayed along the way?" the old man impatiently urged Xiuyuan, and rushed into the door of an antique restaurant.
"Yo, old man, it's been a while, are you tired of eating my drunken fairy building or what?"
"Nonsense, who is chewing my tongue? Who doesn't know, I am a distinguished guest of this drunken fairy building, I will eat as long as you open the shop, if it is not for my lack of money, it is okay to simply live here." The old man glared.
"Come on, where are you? Who have you ever given the shopkeeper money? If it weren't for your tattered Taoist robe and the appearance of three points, the shopkeeper's religion, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to get out of this gate. "This young man looked down on the old man's flower-like clothes.
"Did I eat your rice, or did I borrow your chaff? You blocked the door, did you let me in or didn't let me?" the old man rolled up his sleeves, and he actually got into contact with a boy who ran the hall.
Xiu Yuan's chin dropped when he looked behind him, this old man was simply a worldly scoundrel, where was his previous profoundness?
"Old fairy, are you free today?" A middle-aged man came out of the inner room and saw the old man with a smile on his face.
"This kid is in trouble with me every time, and you quickly sent him away. When the old man saw the shopkeeper appear, he straightened his waist and said disdainfully.
"The old fairy is angry, this is my distant nephew, who has helped me a lot, but I can't get rid of it, why do you bother with a doll? Go upstairs for a while, how about I personally cook you a few side dishes?" said the shopkeeper with a smile.
"It's pretty much the same, oh, by the way, remember to play a little more green bamboo, today is my treat, I want to be superior!" the old man nodded with satisfaction, walked upstairs, and did not forget to turn back and tell the shopkeeper.
"......" Xiuyuan shook his head helplessly, thinking, he walked all the way to the dark, I'm afraid it's a little late to go back now.
"Still not coming up?" the old man beckoned to Xiuyuan upstairs, impatient.
"This gentleman is angry, how can he have anything to do with this old man?" the young man who ran the hall beckoned Xiuyuan upstairs and turned around and said.
"This old gentleman is kind to me. Xiuyuan said.
"He's eating and drinking all day long, and if it weren't for the kindness of the shopkeeper, he would be no different from the warlock who asked for food on the street. The guy scoffed.
"Your shopkeeper is a blessed man with a generous face. Xiuyuan smiled.
"That's natural, that is, this old man is lucky, my aunt was seriously ill that year, it was late at night, seeing that it was not good, the shopkeeper panicked, and carried his aunt out to seek medical treatment, this old man was drunk outside the door, the black light was blind, the shopkeeper couldn't see his feet clearly, he tripped at the moment, and his aunt fell out. The old man was kicked awake, and he didn't care about my shopkeeper, but grabbed my aunt with one hand and scolded her, how could she withstand such a toss? The shopkeeper almost knelt down, but the old man ignored it, and threw a few slaps on my aunt's face, and the corners of his mouth were cracked. My shopkeeper stepped forward desperately, but my aunt suddenly jumped up, pushed the shopkeeper away, and bowed down to the old man, looking stupid. The young man looked embarrassed and incredulous.
"And such a thing?" Xiuyuan was not surprised, but thoughtful.
"Since then, this old man has become my family's life-saving benefactor, I was grateful, but I don't know, this old man turned out to be a laipi, by this reason, three or five days to eat and drink, if not for our business to do steadily, he must be eaten up by him this shop. The guy said angrily.
"I see that your upstairs and downstairs are full of guests, so you won't have to pay for a few drinks, right?" Xiuyuan asked.
"Mr. doesn't know, this old man's mouth is poisonous, ordinary wine and food are not a glance, this Danjiangkou mouth, as long as the size of five taels, the green bamboo in this building, only eat the best ones, every time you come to eat and drink enough to leave, otherwise it is a big scolding. The shopkeeper will reserve a tail every day before leaving the river, and Qingzhu is even more open for him to eat, according to me, this has made him eat for nothing for three or five years, what is the favor, what is the debt, should be repaid?" the young man muttered, chattering endlessly.
While speaking, he had already arrived at the private room on the second floor, and the young man glanced at the old man, turned around and went downstairs to say hello.
Xiuyuan raised his feet into the house and stood in front of the old man.
This room is of the highest quality, with a river outside the window, and occasional fishing boats disappearing, but it is a good picture.
"Why are you stunned? Sit. The old man beckoned.
"The predecessors should be reclusive masters, and they all pay attention to pure hearts and few desires, why are the predecessors greedy for this worldly desire?" asked Xiuyuan.
"Well, I love to hear what the master says, but you're wrong. The old man closed his eyes and shook his head.
"Please ask your seniors to teach me. Xiuyuan said.
"Where do you get any teaching? It's that if you live in the mountains for a long time, you can eat bile water from fasting in that view, and you can abstain from this and that all day long, and you haven't seen a single immortal, a group of elm pimples. The old man said angrily.
"Xiuyuan has been cultivating in Qingcheng since he was a child, and he also eats fasting all year round, so it can't be so unpalatable, right?" Xiuyuan said embarrassedly.
"You have the head of a monk on your head and you are wearing a Taoist green robe, how do you know what is delicious in the world? How long have you only eaten it? Do you know how long I have been eating?" The old man pointed to Xiuyuan's nose.
"......" Xiuyuan was speechless.
Just as the old man was gushing, a plate of frozen tofu, a tail of a mouthful, a few plates of vegetables and a pot of sake were brought in.
The old man looked at the wine and food on the table, and he didn't care about teaching Xiuyuan a lesson, squinted his eyes and smashed the sake, moved the chopsticks, and ate it with his mouth, enjoying it like a little ghost.
"Come, taste it, or it will be gone. The old man pretended to greet Xiuyuan, and the chopsticks didn't stop.
Xiuyuan was not interested in these things, and watched the old man eat interestingly.
The remnants of the dish are empty, the old man is swept away, and the table is a mess.
"Giggle......" The old man burped in satisfaction, picking his teeth with his little finger, where did he come from the immortal demeanor?
Xiuyuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, he only owed the classics of the Tibetan Palace in his heart, and only hoped that the old man would leave early.
"Old fairy, are you still satisfied?" asked the shopkeeper as he came in.
"Well, it's not bad, this fish is a little bit second, don't fool me next time. The old man said, pointing to the fish bones on the plate.
"The old fairy has a good mouth, this fish is on the boat yesterday, and the fish seller did not come today. The shopkeeper said embarrassedly.
"Well, the wine is good, which, I'll go out to the hut and settle the bill later. The old man swaggered out the door.
Xiuyuan didn't care, and sat in the hall waiting.
"Sir, have a cup of tea. The shopkeeper greeted.
"The shopkeeper is polite, don't worry about me. Xiuyuan smiled.
"Then don't bother sir. The shopkeeper exited the door.
I didn't know that Xiuyuan waited until the restaurant closed, and I didn't see the old man come back. Xiu Yuan secretly wondered, couldn't something have happened?
"Sir, have you eaten?" asked the young man who was standing in the hall before with a smile.
"Is the old gentleman who came with me back?" asked Xiuyuan.
"I left early, I thought my husband was still waiting for someone to come, so I didn't go upstairs to disturb. The guy said.
"Gone?" the old gentleman said he was in trouble, so I'll wait and get back. Xiu Yuan was puzzled.
"The old man, you say? He came down from the upper floor and greeted me, saying that he had gone beforehand and did not need to inform the guests upstairs. The guy looked at Xiuyuan.
"This ......," Xiuyuan said blankly.
"Sir, we are closed, if it is convenient, please settle the wine money, and come back tomorrow." The guy said.
"Wine money, the old gentleman didn't settle the bill?" asked Xiuyuan.
"That old man eats and drinks here, where did he buy the money for wine?" the young man laughed.
"It's... I..."Xiu Yuan was dumbfounded, this old man said that he was a treat, and he actually asked Xiu Yuan to pay for the wine, how could there be such a scoundrel?
"Sir?" the guy asked.
"I don't have any money on me. Xiuyuan's face was flushed and very embarrassed.
"What?" the guy is not calm, his feelings are gone, an old scoundrel, this is another little scoundrel?
"What do you think, how about I use this as collateral and come back tomorrow to settle the sake money?"
Xiuyuan has no long things, only the jade seal of the Dharma Hall in his hand.
At this time, where can he take care of this, he can't find a crack in the ground to get into, so he wants to use the jade seal as a mortgage, and go up the mountain tomorrow to ask his junior disciples for some silver money to settle the bill.
"Is this really fake? aren't you fooling me if it's real?" the guy took the jade seal and looked at Xiuyuan with a look of disbelief.
"Please rest assured, this thing is very important to me, and I will not break my word. Xiuyuan sighed helplessly.
"Seeing that you are not talking to the old man, I will ask the shopkeeper. The guy ran into the inner room, leaving an embarrassing showmanship.
"Is the gentleman leaving?" asked the shopkeeper with the jade seal.
"Thank you for your hospitality, it's a really abrupt day. "Xiuyuan is not easy to speak.
"Sir doesn't have to see outside, please take it back, Sir is not only a guest of the old fairy, but also my honored guest, even if you don't give this wine money, you don't have to take such a precious item to pay." The shopkeeper laughed.
"No, let's take it, I'll come and redeem it tomorrow. Xiuyuan turned around in shame and was about to leave.
"Sir!" the shopkeeper chased after with the jade seal.
Just as Xiu Yuan was about to step out of the door, a gust of wind hit him, and two black shadows stood outside the door, staring at Xiu Yuan coldly.
"Sir, stay. The shopkeeper chased him to the door and called Xiuyuan with a jade seal.
The two yin spirits outside the door looked at the jade seal in the shopkeeper's hand, and they both took a step back, looking frightened, and did not dare to step forward.
But the shopkeeper could not see these things, as if there was no one around.
Xiu Yuan glanced at the two ghosts and ignored the shopkeeper who was chasing.
"You're not a ghost, what's the matter?"
Xiu Yuan opened his mouth and asked, he found that the cultivation of these two yin spirits was acceptable, but the yin qi was swirling but there was no anger, and they were obviously not powerful ghosts who came to seek revenge.
"We are waiting for the underworld to take in, and the Yang people here will have a lifespan, and they will be ordered to the third watch, and they will ask the heavenly master to give in. A ghost spoke.
As soon as the yin spirit spoke, the restaurant shopkeeper saw his real body, sat on the ground in fright, and pointed to the two yin spirits trembling and speechless.
Originally, Yin Si couldn't open his mouth, Yin people do things, Yang people avoid, once Yin people open their mouths, they will reveal their true bodies, and even scare away the souls of ordinary people, so Yin Si ghosts are all silent.
The reason why I opened my mouth today is because of Xiuyuan's jade seal.
But all the magic weapons enshrined by incense, suppressing ghosts and eliminating demons, and the momentum emitted can drive away powerful ghosts.
I didn't know that I was bumped into by the shopkeeper and was scared.
"Sir, this, what is this?" asked the shopkeeper, grabbing Xiuyuan's robe.
"You go in first, don't come out if it's okay. Xiuyuan said to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper climbed into the restaurant and closed the door.
"Who's the lead?"
Since Xiuyuan asked, she was ready to ask clearly, the restaurant had closed, the helper had gone home, and the three of them lived in the inner room.
Although the contact is not deep, Xiuyuan still has a good impression of several people, and he is not a profiteer.
"The woman of the owner of this house. The receiver said expressionlessly.
"But the old age is over?" Xiuyuan asked.
"He died three years ago, and someone extended his life for three years, and tonight is the limit. The quote said.
"Woman?"
Xiuyuan was shocked, he listened to the guy who ran the hall told that the old man saved the shopkeeper's wife, could it be that his wife had reached the end of her life three years ago, and it was the old man who renewed her life?
"Can you wait?" Xiuyuan asked.
"The road is far away, how can you say that you will wait and wait?"
"Presumptuous!"
Xiu Yuan shouted angrily, and a piece of talisman paper was pasted on the door, and a burst of golden light flashed, forcing Yin Si to take over.
"If it weren't for seeing your identity as a Heavenly Master, I would respect you for three points, and I would dare to stop you?" said angrily.
"It's not Xiu Yuan who is blocked, if it is life and death, Xiu Yuan naturally does not dare to interfere, but ask for an understanding, please make it convenient, otherwise, today you will not only not be able to get the soul, but also suppress you, it is also a trivial matter. Xiu Yuan stood in front of the two yin spirits, not angry and arrogant.
"How daring!"
The two yin spirits shouted loudly, and the yin qi in their hands soared, condensing a soul-hooking sickle and a soul-snatching spear, and attacked Xiuyuan.
"Heaven and earth are infinite, Qiankun borrows the law, Tiangang thunder law, wind and thunder are ordered, edict!"
Xiuyuan's curse seal pinched, and a thunderbolt struck the two receivers in front of them.
The two yin spirits did not dare to step forward, the power of the thunder was extremely masculine, and if it was split on the two of them just now, the ghost skin would have to take off three layers.
This yin is a ghost in the underworld, with a ghost skin to protect the body, if the ghost skin is lost, it is no different from the general ghost.
"Now, can you wait?" Xiuyuan asked in a deep voice.
If the two of us can't recover their lives, otherwise, report to the Yama Palace, and the Yin soldiers will be exhausted, even if you are a golden immortal, you will have to go down and talk back. The two receivers said coldly.
"Thank you!"
Xiuyuan said, after all, it is a ghost, it is not good to offend more, if you encounter it again in the future, it will inevitably be difficult, ghosts are things that hold grudges, even if it is a ghost.
"Open the door, it's me!" Xiuyuan knocked on the door.
The two dumbfounded faces looked at Xiuyuan the moment the door opened, and it turned out that the shopkeeper and his nephew had been eavesdropping behind the door.
"Sir, help!"
The shopkeeper plopped and knelt in front of Xiuyuan.
