Chapter 430: The Long Wait
Hearing this, the master and Xiao Laodao glanced at each other, and Xiao Laodao smiled: "There is a way to be content, don't be greedy." ”
Xiao Laodao said this pun, Wang Da seemed to hear it, and he didn't say anything, Wang Er looked a little anxious, and asked: "What does Xiao Daoye mean...... Don't you want to go? ”
Without waiting for Xiao Laodao to answer, Wang Da hurriedly gave Wang Er a look and said, "If you don't want to go, we won't be reluctant, let's just find someone else, but we will definitely not find someone more reliable than Xiao Daoye, hehehehe......"
Wang laughed ugly, and Xiao Laodao picked up a few glasses, "Pingshui meets, after drinking this glass of wine, let's go our separate ways." ”
The two Mao and the thief were stunned, and Wang Er asked, "Does Xiao Daoye want to leave immediately?" ”
"Leave now." Xiao Laodao said: "We have so many priceless belongings, it is inevitable that we will be remembered, the sooner we go back, the better, and the two of you, you also have to do it yourself, don't do the work of climbing over the wall and crossing the household, and divide your property is enough for you to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life." ”
The two hairs and the thief glanced at each other, with a ghost in their hearts, but nodded their heads again and again.
Xiao Laodao drank all the wine in the wine glass, got up from the stool, and beckoned the grandfather to pack up and leave. ”
Xiao Laodao looked at Wang Er and said with a smile: "When my brother Liu fought with zombies last night, he inhaled the evil qi of zombies, and tonight he will be angry into his brain, delirious, get up and kill people, leaving him afraid of affecting the two of them." ”
When the two Mao and the thief heard this, their faces changed suddenly, and no one dared to say anything more.
Leaving the old man's house and passing by the door of the woman's house next to him, Xiao Laodao took out a gold ingot from his arms and threw it into the courtyard through the partition wall.
Looking back, the two Mao and the thief did not chase them out, and several people quickly left the village.
This time, there were no more ghosts getting lost or hitting the wall, and the village gradually drifted away, becoming a confused outline behind everyone. At this time, Xiao 13 couldn't help but ask Xiao Laodao: "Master, those two Mao and thieves said that there is a big tomb, are they lying to us?" ”
Xiao Laodao nodded, "It should be trying to lead us somewhere, ambush us, and then rob us of wealth and kill people." ”
Xiao 13 shouted: "You can see that those two Mao and thieves have bad intentions, why don't you ask us to slaughter them?" ”
Xiao Laodao said: "Although the two Mao and the thief are greedy, they are not without a little humanity, if we kill them, won't the two old men have no one to take care of?" ”
Xiao 13 argued: "Their son is still dead in vain." ”
Xiao Laodao said: "Then it's none of our business. ”
After going out of the mountain, after a few days of trekking, Xiao Laodao took the grandfather to Jingzhou, on the ground in Jingzhou, Xiao Laodao disposed of the items obtained from the tomb robbery unconsciously, leaving only a small part, as a few people to entangle.
A month and a half later, the Taiye and his people traveled all the way north from Jingzhou, through Jingmen, Xiangyang, Nanyang, Luoyang, and finally came to Yuncheng County, Shanxi.
The master has forgotten the way to Xiaoniu Mountain, but Xiao Laodao is like an old horse who knows the way, after all, he has been here twice, and he has entered the Yuncheng realm for less than three days, and he led the grandfather and a few people to Xiaoniu Mountain soon.
The Qingniu view on the mountain is still there, but it was more dilapidated before, and a few people put their luggage into the view, and they didn't stop in one breath, and they couldn't wait to rush to the back mountain with two Neidan.
The scenery here in the back mountain is still beautiful, the mountain spring is flowing water, and the scenery is pleasant.
At the spring of the gurgling water, Xiao Laodao solemnly handed the two inner pills to the master, "Brother, Xiaoqing has always had a deep love for you when he was alive, and this inner pill should be put by you." ”
The master took the Neidan in his hand, and his heart was mixed, Xiao Laodao said again: "Inside the spring, you can touch a stone, just put the Neidan next to the stone." ”
The master rolled up his sleeves, held two inner pills, and stretched out into the spring, the spring water was not flowing very quickly, and the water inside was not as cold as outside. The master soon touched a stone inside, the size of a fist, the surface of the stone was smooth and round, touching the stone, the master had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Put the two Neidan next to the stone, the master did not hurry to withdraw his hand, he was afraid that the Neidan would be washed out by the water again, and after waiting for a while, the master found that his worry was superfluous, and the two Neidan were actually like magnets, directly adsorbed on the stone.
The master smiled, was overjoyed, and said to Xiao Laodao next to him: "Brother Xiao, it seems that Neidan is useful. ”
"What's wrong?" Xiao Laodao asked hurriedly.
The master said: "The stone inside is warm, and after Neidan puts it down, it becomes one with the stone." ”
Xiao Laodao also smiled, "Then let's do this right, if you can't do it, Xiaoqing will be able to transform into a human form and meet us in a few days." ”
After being happy for a while, everyone returned to Qingniuguan, Xiao Laodao hurriedly instructed Xiao Shiyi and three people to clean up a few rooms in the temple, and wait for Xiaoqing to appear, while he and Taiye went to the village under the mountain and bought a few days of wine, meat and food.
In a blink of an eye, ten days have passed, and there is no movement in the stones in the back mountain, and Xiaoqing's expectation of appearing has not been realized, however, Xiao Laodao and Taiye are not discouraged, Xiaoqing has always had a process from absorbing Neidan to turning into a human form, don't worry, wait.
In a blink of an eye, I waited for another ten days, the master was nothing, Xiao Laodao was a little breathless, and he went to the back mountain several times a day, but the back mountain was still as calm as ever.
Wait a little longer, another ten days, a month has passed, on this day, Xiao Laodao found the grandfather and discussed with the grandfather, whether to leave here first, wait for a while and come back, it is not a way to wait like this.
What does the master mean, wait a minute, if there is no movement, it's not too late to leave, Xiao Laodao saw that the master didn't mean to leave, so he said to the master, there is news from the cottage, something happened to the cottage, and he must go back, and asked the master if he would like to go back with him.
The master didn't want to go back with Xiao Laodao, and Xiao Laodao also saw that since the grandfather learned the news that Xiaoqing could be resurrected, nothing was important to him, and all his thoughts were on the spring in the back mountain.
Xiao Laodao had no choice, leaving Xiao 13 and the grandfather as companions, he took Xiao 11 and Xiao 12 and wanted to rush back to the cottage, but the grandfather said, you don't need Xiao 13 to stay with him, since you have something, go back first, I just wait here myself.
As soon as the master said this, Xiao Laodao left a lot of silver taels for the master and went back with three people.
After Xiao Laodao's master and apprentice left, the Qingniuguan suddenly became a lot deserted, and the master had nothing to do, and it took a few days to clean the Qingniuguan inside and out.
When cleaning the main hall, under a tablecloth on the table, I found a few books, and when I picked them up, they turned out to be handwritten Taoist scriptures.
Pure Taoist temple, ancient scriptures, after that, in addition to running to the back mountain every day to see the spring, the master is to light incense and read the scriptures in the main hall. The morning bell and dusk drums, coarse vegetables and light rice, pure heart and few desires, I feel that this life is also very comfortable.
Unconsciously, half a year has passed, one snowy night, the master was studying the scriptures under the oil lamp, and suddenly there was a chaotic sound of horses' hooves in the courtyard, and when he opened the door, he saw Xiao Laodao coming back with three apprentices.
"Brother Xiao, why have you been there for so long?"
Xiao Laodao patted off the snow flakes on his body and said: "The chaos in the cottage this time is not small, those people in the government, face to face and back to the ground, one will recruit security for a while, and then suppress bandits, let us kill foreigners for a while, let us kill the people for a while, and the big boss doesn't know what to do." ”
After entering the house, the master took out two jars of local wine, and let each of them drink a few sips to warm up their bodies.
After everyone sat down and stabilized their gods, Xiao Laodao said to the master: "Brother, this time you must go with my brother again." ”
The master hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Xiao Laodao said: "When we came out of the cottage, I agreed with the county government near our cottage that we would burn the church to kill the foreigners and help the Qing to destroy the foreigners." Who knew that there were few foreigners in the church, most of them were still our Han Chinese, and after killing the foreigners, the big boss asked the people in the county office, what should these Han people do who joined the foreign religion? The people in the county government said that believing in foreign religion is treason, and regardless of foreigners and Han people, they will all be killed. The big boss couldn't bear it, and let all the Han people go, and later the government was not happy, and wanted to send heavy troops to encircle and suppress the cottage, saying that our cottage intended to rebel. ”
"And then?" The grandfather asked.
"Didn't I rush back, and negotiated with the government, and gave them a lot of silver taels, and those officials promised not to encircle and suppress the cottage again, but we must also continue to burn the church and kill foreigners under the banner of helping Qing and destroying foreigners, and the Han people who join the church can not be killed, but all the property obtained from the church must be handed over to the government." Speaking of this, Xiao Laodao scolded: "Where the hell is there any property in the church, it sounds good, we are the righteous army that helped the Qing Dynasty to destroy the foreign, it's hard to hear, we have actually become the Manchu Qing Dynasty's walkers and dogs, and the government has invited a 'strange person' from nowhere, saying that the 'senior brother' of the White Lotus Sect lives in the cottage, pretending to be a ghost all day long, and misleading the public." Saying that, Xiao Laodao actually sneered, "However, this strange man sometimes has trouble adapting to the soil, diarrhea, vomiting, after I returned to the cottage, I added some ingredients to his meal, and sent him to the west to see their sect leader, and the government didn't ask, but this is not a long-term solution, we must recruit troops as soon as possible, rely on the mountain, and lay a few cities to stabilize the foundation." ”
After listening to Xiao Laodao, the master wanted to say something and persuade Xiao Laodao, but seeing Xiao Laodao's confidence, it was not good to pour cold water on him, so he gave Xiao Laodao a fist, "If there is anything I want my brother to do, Brother Xiao should tell me." ”
Xiao Laodao was happy and asked the master: "What is Xiaoqing's movement?" ”
The master shook his head, and Xiao Laodao said: "Then you will go with your brother again, maybe after you come back this time, Xiaoqing will already be waiting for you in the temple......"
