Chapter 14: The Taoist in the Mountain Stream
The blind bear broke his legs and feet, not to mention going to Yunya Stream, even going to Tianzhu Mountain would be fatal. Later, Zixia Zhenjun said goodbye without saying goodbye, and the matter of the senior brother was temporarily unlucky.
The blind bear has never seen this person, but he only remembers that there is such a waste wood brother, whose name is: Sanhua Daoren. Scrap wood is just another extreme conjecture.
"Sanhua? Flower fish, flower meat, flower priest? Tang Mu interjected.
However, what Tang Mu said is also reasonable.
The blind bear gave Tang Mu a blank look, Tang Mu hurriedly shut up and let the blind bear continue.
The blind bear called Li Xiaochun's pulse, saying that Ji Ziqi was injured by the deworming order, and he should not come back to seek revenge all of a sudden. The top priority now is to find senior brother Sanhua Dao to save Li Xiaochun, if you find someone else, you can't cure this shadowless disease.
The cloud cliff stream is extremely dangerous, how to get in, it is really embarrassing.
Tianzhu Mountain is more than three hundred miles away from six miles, and it takes two or three days unilaterally, Tang Mu calculated, pointed his thumb at himself, and said: "Bear shopkeeper, how do you see me Tang Mu carrying him to Yunya Stream?" ”
"You?!"
The blind bear shook his head: "You can go into the mountains and forests to pick spring and have a fetus, and you are almost going to Yunya Stream!" ”
Xiong Xiaoyun's anger had not yet subsided, he snorted coldly, and sneered at Tang Mu, who was cowardly and big.
The blind bear thought for a while, and carried Li Xiaochun forward, it was really difficult, why not invite the Sanhua Dao people out, if he came to Liulidi, the first could cure Li Xiaochun, and the second old blind man would seek revenge and come to the door, so there would be a master to deal with.
After some discussion, it was decided that Tang Mu would invite the Sanhua Dao people on behalf of Xiong Blind, and the expenses would be deducted from the silver on Li Xiaochun's body.
The blind bear went back to the Huangquan Medicine Hall to get the hundred pockets left by Zixia Zhenjun, and handed it to Tang Mu to bring, this clothes were soaked and refined by pills, water and fire were incompatible, and the people of Sanhua Dao saw it, and they knew that they were brothers and sisters.
This Sanhua Daoist is said to be a flower Taoist, but he still has some ability, Sanhua Daoren's real name is Li Ding, a native of Changping, the capital.
Between the green mountains and green waters, the streams are winding, the woodcutters in the mountains are pickers, and the riverside is fishing. It is said that when Li Ding was still in Qingyang Daoguan, there were two sages in Changping: one was a fisherman, named Zhang Qian; One is Qiaozi, whose name is Li Ding. The two of them are Jinshi who are not Dengke, and they are literate mountain people. One day, in the capital, I sold the firewood on my shoulder, bought the carp in the basket, entered the tavern together, ate half a heart, each carried a bottle, and walked back along the bank of the Jing River. Zhang Xiaodao:
"Brother Li, I think the one who fights for fame will lose his body because of his name; He who takes profit dies for profit; Those who receive knighthood sleep with a tiger in their arms; Those who are gracious will go away with their sleeves. Counting, it is not as good as our beautiful mountains and mountains, at ease, sweet and thin, and passing by with fate. Li Dingdao: "Brother Zhang is reasonable. But it's just your water show, not as good as my mountain green. Zhang Qian said: "Your mountain green is not as good as my water show." There is a word as a witness, the word says: The smoke wave is thousands of miles away, the boat is small, the quiet is lonely, and the sound of Xi Shi is around. Cleanse your heart and wash your heart with little fame and fortune, and climb the grass and grass. Count the sand gulls and say happily, the willow shore Luwan, and the wife laughs together. A good night's sleep, no honor, no humiliation, no troubles. ”
The two argued back and forth, whether the mountains were clear or the water was beautiful, and in the end they could only compromise, and the rivers and lakes blew each other, perhaps because of this, the Sanhua Dao people gave up the opportunity to take the test to become famous, and threw themselves into the Zixia Zhenjun Sect, and since then they have fallen to the bottom of their lives, and they have been removed from the Qingyang Taoist Temple, and they have fallen a few meters more.
Not much to say, this Tang Mu does have some ability, went up to Tianzhu Mountain, and entered the cloud cliff stream.
Below this cloud cliff stream is the dark river, above is the karst cave, the middle layer of strange rocks is craggy, the upper bears the light of the sky, the lower is connected with the dark river, the stalactites stand one by one, and the natural stone walls cover it, like a labyrinth. When you enter it, it is difficult to distinguish between east and west, north and south, and you must carefully watch the road under your feet when walking, otherwise you will be in danger of falling into the dark river.
But in such an environment, it is enough to be at ease.
"A section of Yunlin is full of pine flowers, silently listening to the warbler's cry, and the clever tongue is like a pipe. Red, thin, green and fat spring is warm, and the summer solstice is turning. It is easy to change in autumn, and the yellow flowers are fragrant, which can be used for playing. The swift and severe winter is like a finger, and the four seasons are unattended"
Tang Mu was smart, put a hundred pockets on his body, found a stone in his hand, and sat down to mark the place where he walked, even if he couldn't find the flower priest, he would not lose his way in this deep mountain stream.
After wandering around in the cloud cliff stream for a few hours, at the end of the cave, a pillar of sunlight shone down from the sky, and you can clearly see that there is a stone chamber at the end of the cave.
A skinny old man in the stone room, with his eyes closed, sat cross-legged on the stone platform. The old man was dressed in tattered gossip clothes, with dusty square shoes on his feet, holding a large gourd painted with yin and yang gossip in front of his toes, and a stove with cigarettes looked like it was alchemy, but it didn't look like it was like such alchemy.
Looking at the costume, it must be a Sanhua Dao person, who has been paying attention to the fragrance in front of Lao Dao in his eyes.
"Dao Chief!"
Tang Mu screamed softly, for fear of startling the old man.
Tang Mu sniffed the incense, and suddenly felt relaxed, looking at the wisps of green smoke, but burned out two long and one short, and wondered: "Incense is divided into three grades: one is good incense, two is evil incense, and three is equal incense." But this good incense burns evil fruits, and your incense is not acceptable to the ghosts and gods. ”
The old man didn't move, as if he hadn't heard. Tang Mu tiptoed to the old man, and saw that the old man's face was dead, his eyebrows and eyes were squeezed into triangles by spider webs, two locks of beard hung on both sides of the corners of his mouth like a "eight", and his whole face was covered with mud, pitted, and shaped like a clam skin.
Tang Mu shouted a few more times. In the end, he simply punched the wall of the stone chamber, and with a snap, it shook the entire stone chamber.
The old man suddenly opened his eyes, and a beam of blue light shot out of his eyeballs, and he cultivated a blue eye of mountain mining.
This blue eye has some origins, and it is extremely difficult to cultivate, which not only requires secret art guidance, but also needs to be supplemented by a variety of precious medicinal materials.
"Oh maa!" Frightened, Tang Mu clenched his chest, retreated to the door of the stone room, couldn't recognize the old man as a human or a ghost, and remembered the whining sound in his ears, like the cry of a fly, and was shocked, thinking that it was a monster. But after thinking about it, it is not surprising that there are a few mosquitoes and flies in such an environment, which is normal, although he thinks about this in his heart, but he can't see a single mosquito and fly.
The blue light shone directly on Tang Mu's head, choking him so much that he didn't dare to open his eyes, and his mouth was full of words to speak slowly. The old man closed his blue eyes and said, "Yunyajian Kurong Cave didn't come just when you wanted to!" "His voice was hoarse, like he hadn't spoken for tens of thousands of years.
Tang Mu hurriedly knelt on the ground, took off his coat, and explained the matter one by one.
The old man on the stone platform was the Sanhua Daoist, after listening to Tang Mu's words, his fingers trembled, he pulled off the spider webs on his eyelids, and said to Tang Mu that it was okay to go out of the mountain, but to buy a new set of Taoist robes, and to prepare a banquet of ten meat and eight vegetables.
What's so hard about that? Tang Mu used an earthen pot to fetch water, washed the face of the Sanhua Daoist, and allowed him to buy a new Taoist robe and dust it when he went down the mountain, and went to the restaurant for a banquet.
The water washed away the uneven dust on the face, and then looked at the Sanhua Dao people, the eyebrows were kind, the eyes were bright, the two beards were above the corners of the mouth, and the handsome old man was alive.
The Sanhuadao man stroked his beard and smiled: "All the way here, tired!" Drink some soup to quench your thirst! ”
Tang Mu heard this, his heart was not good, although he was not an expert in the medicinal soup world, but in terms of his own attainments, he was a very talented person.
Sanhua Dao people walked into the stone room of the partial room, and took out two exquisite tea bowls in a moment, which were crystal clear, and the bowl wall was carved with a tail of coiled dragons, and the room was suddenly overflowing with the fragrance of tea. Tang Mu held the tea bowl and looked at it for a long time, and as soon as he took the cup, he was dizzy.
Although the aroma was tangy, Tang Mu still didn't dare to drink it, and after smelling it, it was not poisonous: "Old man, what kind of decoction is this, so fragrant?" ”
"Drink it, you are the first person to drink the decoction that the old man just concocted!"
Tang Mu scolded in his heart: "Old turtle, it is basically impossible for anyone to come in this mountain, no one drinks such a soup, and he also said that I am lucky and the first, but I am afraid that under this drink, I will directly become the last!" ”
When Tang Mu hesitated, the old man reached out and pinched his mouth, he couldn't move, and the Sanhua Dao people directly poured the soup into his mouth.
After a while, there was no problem, Tang Mu licked his lips: "It's still a little delicious, what is it?" ”
Sanhua Daoren said with a smile: "Rootless water, this rootless water is made from tears, put in sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty five flavors, put in the powder of Manzhu Sawa to boil, has the effect of driving away worries and relieving sorrows." ”
Hearing this recipe, Tang Mu's stomach turned upside down, and he was a little nauseous, which was worse than the reaction of a pregnant woman drinking Liuli spring water soup, and everything in her stomach seemed to vomit out.
When leaving, Tang Mu put the tea cup in his arms, this is pure jade, he didn't care about the old man, and he also pretended to be simple, after all, he could see the jade in the mountains at a glance with blue eyes, and when he put on a torch, he could see the jade in the mountains.
He held the dust in his hand, carried a big gourd, his front foot just stepped out of the cloud cliff stream, the sound of water in the dark river under the rock exploded, Tang Mu looked down at the entrance of the cave, a few drops of cold water splashed on his cheeks, countless fish rushed out of the water, and the fish's tail slapped the splash, as if celebrating the Sanhua Dao people out of the mountain, and there was a commotion in the dark river.
The two walked to the cloud cliff stream, and there was a rumbling thunder from the white clouds on the top of the mountain, like a salute. Tang Mu threw himself to the five bodies of the Sanhuadao people, and the spirit of sycophants was overflowing, and he improvised a song "Man Jianghong":
Since ancient times, heroes, many strange ambitions, the world admires. Mountains and forests, Tianzhu cloud cliffs, pillars descend from the sky. Thousands of autumns sit alone in frost and snow, and the red carp reports good news and igniting hope. Enlighten the way of heaven, hide the world's mind, and be bold.
Outside the southern sky, thunder sounded, and in the universe, the demon was mourned. Ji Zhou Tian Jiusai, revitalize the forest frontier. Lao Ji has the true courage to temper the gods. Now go out, will be blue blood Dan heart, ordinary people sail.
Sanhua Dao people like it very much, smiled slightly, and said in a hoarse voice: Everything is destined to come from heaven, and from now on the world will be prosperous.
This language is very confident, which means that he is old out of the cloud cliff stream, the whole world is going to change, the era of wood-picking has come, and the wood-picking gate is about to rise.
Under Tianzhu Mountain, there is a market town. Spend someone else's money and don't feel distressed. Tang Mu bought a new Taoist robe for the Sanhua Dao people, and also bought a bunch of magic utensils and yellow paper. Sanhua Dao people are good-looking, and when they put on new clothes, they are even more radiant, and they are very well-known Taoist.
On the restaurant's ten meat and eight vegetarian banquets, braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, spicy chicken, braised chicken wings, garlic rape, stir-fried leeks, etc., etc., all can not hide the nature of Sanhuadao, he squatted on the chair, drank wine and meat, and shouted in a hoarse voice.
Tang Mu thought that ten meat and eight vegetables, a total of eighteen dishes, could support the Sanhua Dao people. Unexpectedly, during the banquet, the Taoist ordered three pots of his daughter's red old wine, asked for two servings of roast chicken, and ate it with a red face, and he was very happy.
Full of wine and food, Tang Mu didn't dare to delay the time, and hurriedly invited the Sanhua Dao people to go on the road.
Sanhua Daoist helped the pure yang scarf on his head, picked his teeth and said, "Little brother, where are we going?" You said that for a long time, senior brother and brother, why can't I understand a word? ”
The image of Sanhua Daoist collapsed half in Tang Mu's heart, and he thought he was a worldly master in Yunyajian who was roaring, damn it, he was indeed a wild Taoist priest who was opened by the Taoist temple. Regarding the treatment of Li Xiaochun, Tang Mu was discouraged and no longer looked at him squarely.
Confined in the cloud cliff stream all the year round, there is no jade plate delicacies in the world, and the drunkenness of the Sanhua Dao people is purely inevitable. Tang Mu had no choice but to carry him on his back and ride a rented fast horse and rush to the ancient town of Liulidi.
