Chapter 6: The Long Night
Seeing off Liu Laosan, Fang Xuan turned around and entered the Shenxiao Temple and entered the main hall.
The quiet and deep hall was as quiet as stagnant water, so empty that even the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be heard.
Fang Xuan stood quietly in front of the statue of Sanqing, looked up at the statue, and was silent for a long time.
The old Taoist has cultivated the Tao all his life in this Taoist temple, but in the end, it is just a piece of loess.
What about Fang Xuan?
Is it possible to stay in this Taoist temple for the rest of your life like the old Taoist leader?
The world under the mountain is not peaceful.
I heard that the northern barbarians, leading hundreds of thousands of troops, waved their troops south, and no one could stop them.
The forces of all sides are divided, the soldiers are in chaos, the lives are devastated, and the people are trapped in fire and water, and they cannot live in fear.
And in this troubled world, there are many demons and monsters, running rampant and sucking people's flesh and blood.
After twenty years in the mountains, I think it's time to go down and walk around.
If you want to attain enlightenment and reach a higher realm, then endless penance is useless.
Listening to the old Taoist chief, there are many amazing and gorgeous people in this world, and they have not become immortals, and at this moment, Fang Xuan wants to find the slim immortal path in his heart.
The immortal road is hidden between this heaven and earth, but it is not on this mountain.
Perhaps, only by leaving this divine view can there be a chance.
This Taoist temple in the midst of wind and rain is the place where Fang Xuan began, and now it seems to have become a cage in the dark.
If he didn't get out of this cage, then Fang Xuan would inevitably be buried under that land one day, just like the old Dao Elder.
The main hall is filled with an ancient and leisurely atmosphere.
Misty and profound.
……
At this end, Liu Laosan held the spell given to him by Fang Xuan in his hand, and hurriedly went down the mountain.
In the mountains and forests, the sound of hungry wolves roaring was heard from time to time, which frightened Liu Laosan all the way, and cold sweat broke out.
When you go down the mountain at night, the road must be difficult.
However, thinking that his wife and children were saved, Liu Laosan's heart was still overjoyed.
After about an hour, he went down the mountain.
At the foot of Qinyun Mountain, there are many villages.
And Dongzhuang Village, where Liu Laosan is located, has more than 100 households, which is not too big, but the neighbors get along harmoniously.
At this time, there is a shortage of soldiers outside, but only in this mountain, it is relatively quiet, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft water, and the life is good.
After returning to Dongzhuang Village, Liu Laosan rushed to his home, and he didn't go far when suddenly a dark shadow jumped out on the side of the road.
This frightened Liu Laosan.
"Liu Laosan, where did you come back from this big night?" Seeing Liu Laosan's panicked look, the black shadow that jumped out couldn't help but smile and asked.
"Ah Hai?" Liu Laosan glanced at it and saw that this person knew him, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Ah Hai is a villager in the same village as Liu Laosan, and on weekdays, he works in the field with Liu Laosan, and the relationship is not bad.
However, this Ah Hai, who likes to drink, estimated that he had just finished drinking in the middle of the night, and happened to meet Liu Laosan coming back, so he teased Liu Laosan.
Even so, Liu Laosan was not annoyed at all, and the smile on his face suddenly appeared, and he said, "Ah Hai...... I tell you, today I will go up to the mountain and worship God...... It can be regarded as meeting a living immortal. ”
Seeing Liu Laosan's mysterious appearance, Ah Hai couldn't help but be stunned and said, "What kind of living immortal?" ”
Liu Laosan was overjoyed and said, "My mother-in-law has been saved...... Really saved...... I met a Taoist chief who promised me that he would come down the mountain tomorrow to heal my mother-in-law......"
"Forehead......" Ah Hai frowned slightly when he heard this.
Liu Laosan's mother-in-law suffered a stroke and was paralyzed, which is something that the entire Dongzhuang Village knows.
At the beginning, when Liu Laosan's mother-in-law had a stroke, Liu Laosan spent a lot of effort and found a lot of doctors in ten miles and eight towns, but they were not cured.
In these years, suffering from this disease is basically equivalent to a disability, and you can only eat at home and wait for death.
The villagers are very sympathetic to Liu Laosan in their hearts, after all, as soon as Liu Laosan's mother-in-law had a stroke, the big and small things in the family fell on Liu Laosan.
Liu Laosan is honest and honest, but when he was old, he encountered such a thing, which is really pitiful.
However, Ah Hai's face did not show a happy look, but was a little worried, and said, "Liu Laosan, we also know about the affairs of your family...... The villagers also know it, but ...... Your mother-in-law's illness has been cured by so many doctors, but she has not been cured, and now there is a Taoist priest, what can he do? ”
"There is a way...... There must be a way to ......" Liu Laosan said categorically: "That Taoist priest is a living immortal, my mother-in-law will definitely be able to cure ......"
After seeing Fang Xuan's ability, Liu Laosan naturally would not doubt it.
If even the master who can fly can't heal his mother-in-law, then who else can have a way in this world?
"Liu Laosan, you have to worry, these days, there is a shortage of soldiers outside, refugees are scattered, and there are many people who are abducted and deceived...... You are honest, but don't be deceived......" Ah Hai reminded two sentences out of kindness.
Although the village is isolated from the rest of the world in the mountains, it may not be without outsiders.
When Liu Laosan heard this, he grinned and said, "What can others deceive me about my family's conditions?" You can rest assured...... Tomorrow the priest will come to the village...... If you don't believe me, come and see my house when the time comes......"
Liu Laosan was ecstatic in his heart, and hurried home to share the good news with his mother-in-law, so he didn't tell Ah Hai about what happened on the mountain today.
Ah Hai groaned, nodded, and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll go to your house tomorrow to take a look...... It's always right to have multiple eyes......"
Liu Laosan's family is so poor that they can't open the pot, so naturally there is nothing to deceive.
That being said, though, you have to be careful.
Besides, for the villagers, if there really is such a living immortal, it is a great thing.
In this kind of poor and remote place, what is most lacking is a doctor who has the ability to treat diseases and save people.
Many barefoot doctors can only treat some minor illnesses such as fever and cold, and if they encounter serious illnesses, for the villagers, they can only resign themselves to fate.
After Liu Laosan and Ah Hai separated, they rushed home.
