Chapter 1 Hengshan
79 Reading the drizzling rain, it kept falling, Master and I stood in front of a cave at the foot of Laojun Mountain, looking at the continuous rain outside, I couldn't help but feel a little melancholy, this rain has been falling for seven days and seven nights, and now it still hasn't stopped.
"Don't look any further, this rain, there are still three days to fall, let's stay here for a few more days,"
The master smiled, carried the wine gourd, poured a sip, turned around and walked into the cave, and found a comfortable place to lie down.
"But when will we go to Hengshan Qingyin Gate to find Lingzhu?"
I looked back at Master anxiously and asked helplessly,
When I was drinking, I was asked to go to the county seat more than ten miles away in the rain to buy it, but when it came to hurrying, I pushed back and stopped, and I didn't give a happy word, since the master came out of the Danding Palace, he didn't seem to care much about anything, especially when it came to Qingyinmen, it seemed that the master didn't want to mention it,
"That girl's cultivation is higher than yours, she won't be okay if you have something, stay at ease,"
Master blew his beard and glared at me angrily,
"However, but Uncle Fat can brave the rain to return to the Yaoxian Sect, why can't we brave the rain to go to the county seat to hire a car to go to Hengshan?"
I came to the Master in a depressed state and pleaded,
"You can't bear to let a gray-haired old man follow you for thousands of miles in the rain,"
Master immediately blew up his white beard and motioned me to see his old state.
"Uh...... But Uncle Fat's age is ......"
"Don't keep mentioning that fat man, he eats more than three meals in one meal now, and his body is naturally several times better than mine, besides, the Yaoxian Sect is not far away, silly apprentice, we are going to Hengshan, but it is thousands of miles,"
The master pursed his lips, lay lazily on the stones, and then said lazily: "Stinky boy, don't think about it, this is a person from heaven, and he doesn't want us to go to Hengshan, well, wait for the master to pinch his fingers...... Ah, stupid apprentice, we can't go to Hengshan,"
"Why, why can't you go,"
I asked, stunned,
"This trip is unpredictable, Master can't measure it, it means that we go to Hengshan, but it is not good, and then look at the continuous rain, it means that if we go, disasters will continue, and it is not small,"
The master said seriously, and then smiled again: "Why don't we go to the Hengshan Qingyin Gate, how about the master take you back to Longhu Mountain to be punished, isn't it good to be a formal Taoist priest?"
"No, I must go looking for the spirit bamboo, if I can't find the spirit bamboo, I won't go anywhere,"
I stubbornly retorted,
"Ah, you stinky boy, why don't you open your mind, you don't listen to what the master says,"
Master scolded angrily, I immediately took a few steps back, and said, "Master, don't you want to save Lingzhu, she accompanied me to climb the mountains and wade through the water to find Qingyang Stone to save you and Uncle Fat, if you don't save her, it's too unkind......
"You stinky boy, I ......"
The master was about to stand up angrily, but after thinking about it, he sat back down again, and said, "Then it's good to be that the master is not close to people, and the master really has nothing to talk about."
"Master......"
I immediately knelt down in front of the master, pulled the master's wine gourd, and said softly: "Master, your old man will show mercy and go to Qingyinmen with your apprentice...... Please......"
"Hmph, didn't you stinky boy just say that Master is not kind, why are you begging Master again now?"
Master gave me an angry look,
"How dare the apprentice say that you are an old man...... Wasn't that just a matter of facts...... Besides, Master, your old man is the best master in the world, and he will definitely help his apprentice, isn't it?"
I laughed and said,
"You stinky boy, why do you want to go to Qingyinmen so much, alas,"
"Oh, that's not right,"
Before the master finished speaking, I stood up in surprise and said: "Master has always bravely entered the tiger's den in Longtan, and it is no longer a word to subdue demons and subdue demons, now how to go to Hengshan to find a Qingyin Gate is so reluctant, is there anything difficult for the master, or has a leg with the female master of the Qingyin Gate,,"
"Legs, you big-headed ghost,"
"Bang,"
Master suddenly kicked me away, and fell heavily to the ground, I immediately grinned in pain, looking at my appearance, Master said with a wry smile: "You stinky boy, you really dare to think, that Qingyin Sect Master has cultivated since childhood, and has never touched worldly feelings, and Master, I have never been close to a woman, and I have never been close to a woman, but I am not too familiar, stinky boy, if you dare to say such a big rebellion, be careful that Master breaks your legs,"
"Then why can't the master go to Hengshan, why do you push back and go......"
I snorted and stood up, rubbed my ass gently, and groaned in a strange groat, "Oops...... You old man can't take your foot lightly, you're going to kick me to death, oops,"
"Kick you to death and save trouble,"
The master blew his beard, grabbed the wine gourd and poured two sips, and then continued to sleep.
"Uh...... If you don't have it, you don't have it, and you're still angry, how can you be like a child, Master, Master, you really sleep,"
I rubbed my buttocks, sat down carefully by the fire, and shouted twice, and sure enough, I verified that the master was asleep, so I sighed helplessly and found a place to sleep,
I was dazed, I don't know how long I slept, but when I opened my eyes, I found that Master was sitting on a stone and looking at me, a spirit sat up, rubbed his eyes, and asked, "Master, what are you staring at your apprentice when you don't sleep, it's dark outside,"
As I spoke, I yawned and turned my head to look at the night that I didn't know when.
Looking at Master again, it seemed that his old man was thinking something, and he was not looking at me, I couldn't bear to disturb, so I immediately found some dry wood to fill in the fire that was about to be extinguished, and looked at the "crackling" flames, I turned to Master and asked, "Master, what are you thinking about old man?"
"Alas, stinky boy, Master has nothing to do, can I tell you a story about the ancestors of the past generations?"
The master sighed, picked up the wine gourd, took a sip, and asked,
"Oh, Master, tell the story of which patriarch,"
I answered, and asked,
"Well, let's tell the story of the fifty-fourth generation of Heavenly Master, that is, your good fan ancestor, in the year of the thirty-third Jiaxu of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, your good fan ancestor went to Wuyue to enter incense, and when he arrived in Kaifeng, Henan, the local area was catching up with the great drought year, and some officials knew that your good fan ancestor was coming, so he told the great drought in detail, and asked the good fan ancestor to open the altar to pray for rain,"
When Master said this, he paused and continued,
It turned out that the good fan patriarch promised to help the local people pray for rain, and opened the altar, the ritual of praying for rain was completed, the good fan ancestor and informed the local officials of the specific time of the rain, and then went to Songshan to incense, sure enough, the day that the good fan said, it really began to rain,
Unexpectedly, the heavy rain was so heavy that the river swelled so much that it was about to flood the crops.
After leaving Kaifeng, the good fan patriarch came to the left bank of the river, but he met a spirit for the people, this spirit pretended to be an immortal who rescued the suffering, known as the "five sheep immortals", and let the people build a temple for him, the five sheep enjoy the incense all year round, but can not benefit the people, but is doing something that harms the people,
On the one hand, he cast a spell to make the people suffer many disasters, and on the other hand, the people had to constantly pray to this five sheep to help eliminate the disasters, which made the people's lives more and more difficult, thieves abounded, and the people's customs gradually deteriorated.
Not only that, but Wuyang also controlled some fox demons, making them change beautiful women, to confuse the people, and relying on cultivation to run rampant.
When Wuyang saw the good fan patriarch, he thought that the good fan ancestor couldn't stop him, so he provoked the good fan ancestor with his might, claiming that he wanted to fight with the good fan ancestor.
The good fan patriarch agreed to his request for fighting, but at the same time of the fight, Wuyang continued to sell his own magic, but was easily broken by the good fan ancestor with five thunder charms, Wuyang asked the good fan ancestor why he was able to break his law, and the good fan ancestor said: "You are strong with evil magic, how dare you violate my five thunder righteous law sect,"
Later, the good ancestor burned down the temple of Wuyang, but found a white-footed big ao, so he imprisoned this ao, took it on the road, and when passing by Gusu, he killed the red monkey that plagued the people, and chained the two monsters with iron chains.
Originally, these stories had nothing to do with me and Master going to Hengshan Qingyin Gate, but then, Master started talking again,
After the ancestor took away the big ao and the red monkey, the descendants of the white-footed big ao, together with the spiritual family of the red monkey, moved to the south and lived in the mountains.
"In other words, Master is not afraid of the retaliation of the white-footed Daao and the descendants of the red monkey, but is worried that these spiritual thoughts and the festival of the year will make it difficult for Master to face the master of the Qingyin Sect,"
I thought about it and asked suspiciously,
"After all, those spiritual cultivators have not really ascended to immortals, so they still have worldly feelings, once the long-standing hatred of the year comes out, do you say that we should kill them or retreat,"
Master immediately threw a question at me,
"This ...... If it is killed, then the face of the Qingyin Sect will not be able to hang up, after all, they will accept this group of spiritual cultivators, but if they retreat, won't it seem that we are too weak, Master, this is really a bit difficult to deal with......"
I scratched my head, and I didn't know what to do for a while.
"But the master has changed his mind now, since there is no way to avoid it, why should we avoid it, hehe, the responsibility of our people who practice the Tao is to subdue demons and subdue demons, as long as they keep their own peace, they will pay it back, if they can't keep their duty and dare to act recklessly, we will learn from the good and obsessed the ancestors, and surrender them again,"
After the master finished speaking, he got up and walked to the cave, looked up at the void, and stopped speaking for a long time.
It was at this moment that the rain gradually stopped,
Master turned his head and looked at me, both of them smiled, as if the rain fell in time, and the stop was unusually timely.
In the early morning of the next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Master and I had already gone to the county seat to hire a carriage and went straight to the Qingyin Gate of Hengshan.
