Chapter 246: A Story
Seeing that the old man woke up, Wang Meng got up and bowed heavily to the old man, but as soon as Wang Meng bent down, he felt an invisible force helping him up. Wang Meng looked at the old man who threw his sleeves in front of him in surprise, and bowed down with a more solemn expression, even though the force that hindered him from going down was still there.
Seeing this, the old man smiled helplessly and said, "You kid is really stubborn, the old man actually doesn't care about these secular red tape etiquette, don't worship it." ”
"The grace of saving lives, dare not forget, although the number of courtesies is light, it should be done and cannot be abolished." Wang Meng said in a solemn tone.
"Yes, yes, since it suits your heart, it doesn't matter." The old man touched his beard and said in appreciation.
As the old man's words fell, Wang Meng felt that the resistance disappeared in an instant, and the body that was fighting against the resistance was also able to relax, so after worshipping like this for almost five minutes, Wang Meng straightened up and waited for the old man's question.
"I'm feeling better." The old man said with concern.
"It's okay to drag your blessing." Wang Meng responded respectfully.
"That's good. This is also an explanation of your ancestors. ”
"Actually, about the ancestors, the younger generations have some questions and want to ask the seniors."
Regarding the matter of the ancestors, Wang Meng was also curious, and just when the old man mentioned it, he took the opportunity to ask, but although Wang Meng made a request very simply, and also considered that it was best to ask at this time, he was still a little nervous in his heart, afraid that the old man would mind asking some superfluous questions, which would be too abrupt.
"Oh, but it doesn't hurt to say it." The old man smiled at Wang Meng and smiled easily, signaling him not to worry, he didn't mind.
"So, what is the relationship between the Ancestor and you, and why do I feel like I have forgotten something?" Wang Meng asked.
The old man's demeanor began to be mixed with nostalgia, and he said: "Your ancestor Wang Mang is my apprentice, I was only twenty-seven or eight at that time, I heard my master say that there is a child of a family who went up the mountain, that was the first time I saw your ancestor, and then he went up the mountain more times, I saw him more times, he is very talented in the comprehension of the avenue, my master is inconvenient to accept apprentices, so he transferred him to my door, it is also ashamed to say that I can comprehend the avenue thanks to my own disciples." Speaking of this, the old man began to be surrounded by sadness, "These are all in the past, alas, I have no way to save your ancestors from danger, I can only compensate for this guilt on you." ”
Wang Meng comforted him: "Old Daoist, this is just you, there are some things that you can't ask for, you will get my life, and I will be lucky to lose it." ”
At this time, the old man suddenly changed his face, and the sadness faded instantly, and returned to his original leisurely appearance, "This is what you said, you have this awareness, yes, yes, since you understand this truth, then I don't have to be verbose about your second question, my view on this issue is similar to what you just said, some things can't be forced, you may suddenly remember, and you may never remember, but your life is going on, and living well is the most important thing." ”
Wang Meng had the feeling that he had dug a pit and jumped in, but the old man's words had this truth, and Wang Meng's personality was open-minded, and he was no longer entangled in this ethereal memory.
In this way, Wang Meng and the old man chatted for two more hours, from daily life to strange encounters, most of them were said by the old man, Wang Meng listened, these experiences from traveling the world made Wang Meng yearn for it, and a seed that wanted to ride a horse and gallop the world was planted in Wang Meng's heart.
When the sun gradually set down, the smell of rice began to come from the hall, the seduced Wang Meng's stomach screamed, Wang Meng blushed and got up to say goodbye, the old man looked at Wang Meng like this, laughed happily, waved his hand to signal Wang Meng to leave, but when Wang Meng walked to the gate, an old man's voice came from the hall, full of energy, "Your word is called Jianyun, health and health, remember it well." ”
Jianyun, is it telling me to take good care of my body in the future, it seems that it is the cherishment of parting, the old Taoist has a heart, Wang Meng sighed in his heart.
Watching Wang Meng go away, the old man sighed, I hope you can really understand the intention of me to give you the message.
……
It was night, Wang Meng was lying on the bed, thinking that he had just finished dinner and told Uncle Wang to pack his luggage and leave home tomorrow, a little looking forward to it, I don't know how his family was doing, thinking about it, his thinking jumped to the summary of this year's life, this year is too dreamy for Wang Meng, too complicated, I don't know whether it is joy or sorrow, the rest of his life after the catastrophe is very happy, but it seems to have forgotten a very important thing and made Wang Meng feel deep regret, the more Wang Meng thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, so he simply stopped thinking, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
At this time, in the house of the Dianshu opposite Wang Meng, Zuo Daochang was coming over with a pot of freshly brewed tea, and when he saw that the Jiangshu seemed to be concentrating on reading and didn't notice him coming, he put down the tea, put his hand to his mouth, and coughed to remind.
"Master, I know you're here."
Jiang Shutou didn't reply, and continued to look at the bamboo slip in his hand.
Zuo Daochang did not answer, slowly poured the tea into the cup, picked up a cup and put it on the desk of the Jiang tree, the tea was fragrant, attracting the taste buds of the Jiang tree.
"The master is so annoying, he knows to distract me with this good tea."
Although he complained verbally, Jiangshu put down the bamboo slips with integrity and began to taste the tea, well, it's really fragrant.
At this time, Daoist Zuo put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Shu'er, how long have you been on the mountain?" ”
"Master, you want to drive me down the mountain again, hum."
Jiangshu didn't answer Zuo Daochang's words, she knew very well that every time her unlucky master mentioned this topic, she wanted to trick her into going down the mountain to experience, I remember that a few years ago, I was not sensible, and was persuaded by the master to follow the brothers down the mountain in a daze, and then I was separated, hungry and cold for several days, and was almost found to be a girl, arrested and sold, if it wasn't for a ranger surnamed Liu to rescue, the consequences really dare not think.
So this time, Jiangshu refused very righteously: "Master, I won't go down the mountain this time, it's okay if you blame me, blame me for being ignorant, I just want to die on this mountain." ”
Daoist Zuo's expression did not fluctuate because of Jiangshu's excited emotions, and it seemed that he had come prepared.
"Shu'er, don't you want to see the beauty of the mountains and rivers, don't you want to see the various states of life and know the heroes of the world, these are all things you can't learn from books, and most importantly, don't you want to see the ranger who saved you again."
Zuo Daochang's three imposing rankings in a row disrupted Jiangshu's thoughts, and also made her heart shake, the master came to persuade her before, but she always refused one step in advance, and the master would not say any more, and over time it became a small daily routine between master and apprentice, but this time, the master was serious.
If you can do that, let's go down the mountain.
