Chapter 832: The Old Man on the Roadside
Wu Zhiyuan thought secretly in his heart, but in this moment, the carriage had already run out of a hundred meters away, and he simply whipped his whip and galloped, leaving the tea shop far behind. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Half an hour later, the carriage saw the boundary of Cangyuan City, for some reason, the official road became a little narrow, the road condition was not good, driving too fast, the canopy would be very bumpy, Wu Zhiyuan had to slow down slightly, for fear that the Moon Shadow Fuxian in the canopy would suffer.
Along the roadside, you can see some crumbling walls, some of which have collapsed to the point that only the foundations remain, and even the remaining parts of the walls have been severely eroded by the wind.
This is the city wall of Cangyuan City in ancient times.
Wu Zhiyuan rode along the official road by the city wall, and from time to time turned his head to look at the decaying scenery presented by these ruins and broken walls, in the scenery, Wu Zhiyuan suddenly saw a green grass growing in a pile of broken rubble, at this time just after winter, the grass has broken through the soil, and the rubble on top of the head has burst out of fresh life, full of vitality, this new force, like a ray of life in a desperate situation.
Wu Zhiyuan only looked at the grass, and when he turned his head, he suddenly found an old man standing not far in front of the carriage, the old man was holding a porcelain bowl in his left hand, and beckoned to Wu Zhiyuan's carriage with his right hand, as if he was a beggar asking for food.
Wu Zhiyuan was startled, and hurriedly grabbed the reins, and the horse neighed, and stopped in front of the old man. He jumped out of the carriage and was about to ask the old man if he was hurt, but the old man came up to him with a smile.
Wu Zhiyuan thought he was begging for himself, so he reached out and took out a piece of ocean from his arms.
At this time, the old man walked to Wu Zhiyuan, stretched out his hand and handed the porcelain bowl to Wu Zhiyuan, Wu Zhiyuan understood that he was about to put the ocean in his hand into the porcelain bowl, but the hand holding the ocean just put it on top of the porcelain bowl, but found that the porcelain bowl contained half a bowl of water, the water was hot, faintly steaming.
"Young man, don't rush to the road, it's not too late to quench your thirst after drinking hot soup before you hit the road." The old man said with a smile.
Wu Zhiyuan looked at the old man in front of him with some astonishment, and looked at him carefully, only to see that his face was like a crown of jade, his eyebrows were kind, his beard was gray, the corners of his eyes were bent into a crescent moon, his figure was slightly rich, but the clothes on his body were indescribably strange, at this time he was holding a bowl in one hand, looking at Wu Zhiyuan with a smile.
Looking behind the old man, there was a tea stove not far away, the firewood in the stove was booming, there was a pot on the stove, the pot was boiling hot water, several passers-by were gathering around the tea stove to warm up and drink water, including the old and the young, and a middle-aged woman with a child of seven or eight years old.
It turned out that the old man was not a beggar, but a benevolent man who offered tea to passers-by.
Wu Zhiyuan's heart was moved, and he was about to reach out to pick up the bowl, when a voice stopped: "Slow!" ā
Wu Zhiyuan looked back and saw the Moon Shadow Fuxian lift the curtain from the canopy and jump out of the carriage.
"Old man, we have water and dry food on our carriage, so we won't bother you." Moon Shadow Fuxian walked to Wu Zhiyuan's side, looked at the old man and said.
"Moon Shadow, this old man is kind." Wu Zhiyuan whispered.
"Defend against people." Moon Shadow Fuxian responded quietly, ignoring Wu Zhiyuan's words, but looking at the old man with sharp eyes.
The old man seemed to hear the conversation between Moon Shadow Fuxian and Wu Zhiyuan, but he didn't get angry, but looked at Moon Shadow Fuxian with a smile, and said slowly: "Girl, it's understandable to be defenseless, but it's not right to refuse the old man's kindness." ā
"Yes, Moon Shadow, your old man is also kind, don't you see that those people are also drinking the hot soup sent by the old man." Wu Zhiyuan said, looking at the passers-by sitting behind the old man.
With this inadvertent glance, Wu Zhiyuan suddenly saw the child next to the middle-aged woman reaching out and pulling out the firewood burning under the tea stove, and the flames flickered, burning the child's cuffs, almost in unison, Wu Zhiyuan and the middle-aged woman shouted at the same time, Moon Shadow Fuxian and the old man turned their heads at the same time, only to see that the flames on the child's cuffs burned quickly along the sleeves, and they were about to spread all over the body.
The boy was so frightened that he cried and shook the fire on his sleeve, and his mother panicked and did not know what to do. Seeing this, Wu Zhiyuan was about to rush forward to extinguish the fire on the child's sleeve, but between the lightning and flint, the old man threw the hot soup from the porcelain bowl in his hand to the child without panic.
The old man was standing three or five meters away from the child, but the hot soup from his porcelain bowl fell on the child's sleeve.
Amazingly, the hot soup fell on the child's sleeve like a torrential rain, and instantly extinguished the fire that flickered on the sleeve.
Seeing this situation, Wu Zhiyuan's mind instantly recalled a scene he had seen in front of the gate of the City God Temple, when the Gu insect swarm released by the Nantian Eagle did not dare to approach the temple gate, and the Nan Tianying ordered people to set fire to the City God Temple, but the fire in front of the temple could not be lit at all, and the torches that fell on the ground were also extinguished instantly, just like the water in the old man's porcelain bowl extinguished the flames on the sleeves of the children's clothes.
Suddenly, Wu Zhiyuan suddenly realized, he understood the identity of the old man, looked at the old man and said in surprise: "Uncle, you are ......"
"You don't know me." The old man hurriedly interrupted Wu Zhiyuan's words, and said with a kind smile, "It seems that God is destined, you can't drink this bowl of hot soup that the old man scooped for you." As he spoke, he looked at the carriage behind Wu Zhiyuan and Moon Shadow Fuxian, and asked, "You are in such a hurry, I don't know where you are going?" ā
"Supreme Taiyi Tianzun." Wu Zhiyuan twisted his fingers in his hand, respectfully performed the etiquette of the juniors to the elders in the Daomen, raised his head and replied, "The juniors have important things to go back to the Shimen, so they are in a hurry and almost collided with you, please forgive me." ā
"It's okay." The old man nodded slightly, and then asked, "Which Taoist temple is your master?" ā
"The junior master is Maoshan." Wu Zhiyuan replied respectfully.
Moon Shadow Fuxian stood aside, watching the conversation between Wu Zhiyuan and the old man, and did not interject.
"Maoshan ...... Maoshan ......" The old man kept nodding his head, looking into the distance, thoughtful, and the expression on his face gradually became solemn.
"Seniors know about our Maoshan faction?" Wu Zhiyuan asked happily.
"The Maoshan Sect of the Shangqing Sect is famous in Kyushu, how can there be anyone among the same people who doesn't know?" The old man said with a straight face.
Wu Zhiyuan felt that the old man's words seemed to carry some emotions, so he didn't dare to ask any more, so he had to divert the topic and ask: "Senior, do you give soup here every day?" ā
"No, today is my first time here, and probably my last." The old man shook his head slightly.
"Why?" Wu Zhiyuan asked in surprise.
"Because I'm here to wait for you today." The old man replied with a smile.
"Wait for me?" Wu Zhiyuan was a little surprised, he couldn't guess what the old man's intention was to wait for him. {Chongqing University. Breast school flower selfie, real childlike giant.
