Chapter Seventy-Five: The Contract (II)

Back in the body, still in the carriage, Fang Xin was extremely distressed, this mere merit clone, it actually cost five hundred merits, and suddenly, the merit that was originally full of 1,200 merits was now only five hundred at once.

It's still worth making, but it's not much.

Fang Xin opened his eyes and saw that something was wrong with the bright light, so he poked his head out and asked, "I was a little confused just now, what time is it now?" ”

The coachman looked back and said with a smile: "Master, it's not very long, it's only noon now, don't you stop for a while, wait for the horse to eat some grass and drink some water, and then leave?" ”

Fang Xin said: "It's okay, just stop for a while." ”

At this time, in ancient times, it was unusual, out of the official road, that is, the field, outside the field, and the jungle, at this time, the carriage had the meaning of resting, so I looked around, as for a forest in front of a tree, I saw a Taoist temple.

This Taoist temple is also very elegant, although it is early spring, but the grass and flowers planted have turned green, and the coachman said: "Master, let's take a look at this view!" ”

It seems to be close, and he has to walk for a while, before he walks, a bird hisses, Fang Xin hurriedly listened, and opened the curtain to watch, but saw two Taoist boys, running out, one holding a slingshot, and another picking a bird.

Fang Xin couldn't help but laugh secretly, and thought to himself: "Maybe in the Taoist temple, it is a long fast, but when such children are developing, no wonder they have to secretly come out to hunt birds to eat!" ”

At this time, the carriage passed by, and the two Taoist boys were startled, and hurriedly put the bird and the slingshot. They were all thrown under a hidden tree, but they straightened their clothes, turned around, and asked with a smile, "Where did all the good people come from?" ”

Between the conversations, there was a bit of knowledge, it was obvious that the Taoist temple host was very extraordinary, Fang Xin saw that although they were young, they looked upright, if it weren't for Fang Xin's sharp eyes. When I saw what I just saw, I really wanted to praise it a few times.

but they do not know. said: "Is it okay for the Taoist Taoist to be long, I want to rest in the Taoist temple for a while." ”

"The master just appeared. But it won't take long to come back, so you can rest on the exterior while we serve tea. Dao Tong saluted and said.

When the next group of people greeted the appearance, although the appearance is not large, it is also self-clean, and the inside is also a statue of the Three Qing Dao, but there is no longer the endless layer of clear light seen in the main plane that day, even so, Fang Xin still bowed to show respect to the saint and the avenue.

Let Ranki get out of the carriage. Although it was covered with a veil, it was also extremely moving, which made the two Taoist boys who were only eleven or twelve years old a little stunned.

And the horse is relieved, let it eat grass and drink water nearby, and naturally there is a coachman to take care of it.

Then. The two girls took out the basket, there was some food in it, and borrowed the pot at the moment, which was a little rude in the Taoist temple, so they set it up outside the Taoist temple. Bring water to a boil. Put the wrapped meat in, and then add the spices and spices. In a moment, the fragrance is overflowing.

The rice balls were also roasted by the fire, and soon they were hot, and they were divided among everyone, one per person, and the broth could be drunk.

Of course, the two masters still have meat to eat, and on the way, it is already good to be able to eat this, and at this time, Fang Xin saw the two Taoist children salivating like a river.

Fang Xin couldn't help but smile and said, "Do you two want to eat?" A little bit of a heart. ”

The two Taoist boys didn't want it at first, but after a while, seeing that everyone was eating very fragrantly, they couldn't help it more and more, and discussed with each other: "The master is not here now, why don't we eat some." ”

"Yes, it's already noon, and I haven't seen the master come back, so let's eat some first."

Fang Xin said again: "Do you want to have some?" ”

Before the words landed, it was too late, and it was too late, so the two Taoist boys came over, took the rice balls, opened their mouths, took a bowl of broth, filled some meat, and immediately licked their mouths and smacked their tongues.

It turns out that these two Taoist boys, although they usually have the intention to hunt some birds, but they are sneaky, so the taste is just not good. At this time, when I ate delicious, I was willing to give up, and I drank several bowls in a row before I was full.

After putting away some pots and chopsticks and resting for a while, the two Taoist children looked out, but their faces changed greatly, and they said, "The master is back." ”

I quickly washed my mouth and hands.

Sure enough, a Taoist priest was coming, Fang Xin stepped forward to take a look, but he was wearing a Taoist robe, with a slight frost on his bun, and a handsome figure, and when he walked over, he was fluttering and dusty, and he was about fifty years old. Fang Xin stepped forward and arched his hand: "Li Rui has seen the Taoist chief, passing along the way, resting at noon, it really disturbs Qing Xiu." ”

"It doesn't matter, it's convenient with others, it's convenient with yourself, and it's fate for noble people to come here." The man said: "Please also invite the noble person to come in and talk, the breeze and the bright moon, don't make tea!" ”

As he spoke, the man's eyes turned on the mouths of these two people, and the two Dao boys were frightened, and hurriedly ran over.

The two then entered, sat in a room, in the spring of April, there are a large number of peach trees planted near the Taoist temple, this peach tree can not only drive away evil spirits, but also harvest fruits, so this is the most prosperous moment of peach blossoms, a peach blossom is as bright as a red glow, and when I see bees and butterflies flying on it.

The bright sunlight sprinkled through the corridor, Fang Xin smelled the fragrance, for a while, it was as quiet as a water, just looking at it from a distance, watching Lan Ji take out a flute, blowing slowly in the wind, fluttering like a heavenly girl, with a great sense of immortality.

"The scenery here, although it is prosperous, is all vain!" At this time, the Taoist priest said.

Fang Xin chuckled and came back to his senses.

"What are you laughing at?" The Taoist priest was not angry and said.

"I laugh at you as a Taoist priest, but you deviated from the avenue, you can't see through it, and you have gone astray." Fang Xin said.

"Oh, how can I say that?"

"Taoist, I want to ask you, people are born to die, right?"

"That's right."

"Taoist priest, I want to ask you, this tree blossoms and bears fruit, blooms every year, and withers every year, is this so?" ”

"Daoist, I want to ask you, when you eat and eat, you always turn into dung, don't you?"

"Exactly."

"In that case, why do you want to live when you know that it is death? Rather know how to wither, why do you want to bloom? Fang Xin smiled: "Let's not talk about it before, let's talk about the most important and recent point, you answer me - Ning knows feces, then why eat, do you know how to eat feces, can you eat feces?" Or can you skip it? ”

"Dung is not to be eaten, and if a man does not eat, he starves to death." The Taoist priest only felt a flash of inspiration, but he couldn't see clearly for a while, and just muttered in reply.

"That's right, aren't you enlightened?" Fang Xin smiled at this, and then wanted to get up, and was no longer ready to pay attention to this Taoist priest, but at this time, there was a sudden shock, and Fang Xin couldn't help but change color - the Xiao family's guide came.

"Coincidentally, right here!" Just thinking like this, the huge energy was instantly concentrated on his body, Fang Xin did not resist, and directly activated the merit incarnation, took over this body, and then merged with the energy, and flew back in an instant.

The Taoist priest who was thinking was startled, and in an instant, he felt an incredibly huge energy, and the young nobleman on the other side also had a change.

When he came back to his senses and looked carefully, he couldn't see any difference, but he saw the young man in front of him say: "Ten taels of incense money will be offered, and I will say goodbye!" ”

And when he had said that, the boy went out and joined the people, and then he set up the carriage, and the group departed.

Poor this Taoist was full of confusion, and he was puzzled by what had just happened, and then muttered: "Could it be that the heavenly immortals, knowing that I am seeking the Tao, have come to guide me?" ”

When they got to the carriage, Lan Ji and Li Rui sat together, Lan Ji was a little strange, and felt that the person in front of her was a little strange, but after tasting it carefully, she couldn't say it, so she asked: "Husband, the gentry in the provincial city, as well as the officials' gift silver, a total of 4,800 taels of silver, how to deal with it?" ”

Li Rui listened, but said with a smile: "In the past, you could collect all the wealth of the Lu Mansion's dowry, and this time you also collected 30 acres, but these gifts and silver should be given to the family, and the mother will dispose of it first." ”

Lan Ji immediately agreed, and said with a smile: "This should have been, and the concubine should immediately do it according to her husband's wishes!" ”

Seeing this, Li Rui said with a smile: "I can tell you that although you are not a wife, but my son is born to you, and this son will become a great thing." ”

Lan Ji immediately blushed and said, "Husband-kun has come to make fun of him again." ”

"It's not a joke, but it's true." Li Rui said.

Lan Ji was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is that so?" ”

Seeing Li Rui nodding, she couldn't help but believe it, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, whose woman doesn't want to have a son, and he is also a competitive son?

Looking at both sides of the road, I saw that it was sparse and dense, uneven, but it was a variety of plants, and when spring came, they rushed to bloom, and even saw a ruel.

Thinking about this, my heart is full of hope, with a smile, and longing.
