Chapter 124: Listen to the old man tell the story
"He is ......" Li Yiming looked at the man with glasses carefully, listening to the tone of the man with glasses, this old Taoist priest did not look like an ordinary person. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"No, but ...... I don't know how to say it, you'll know as soon as you meet yourself. The man in glasses waved his hand and shoved the shadowless stone peeking out of the collar of his shirt back into place.
But the more the man with glasses said this, the more curious Li Yiming became, fortunately, Li Yiming's curiosity did not last long, the chanting in the hall ended, and an old man in a dark blue robe slowly appeared at the door of the main hall, an extremely ordinary old man, his face was wrinkled, his drooping eyelids almost covered his eyes, his long silver hair was tied up in a bun, neat and meticulous, but the messy long beard hung quietly on his face, and a pair of eyes were cloudy from afar, his eyes were wandering, and he seemed to be unable to focus......
Is that this old Taoist priest?
"Several, wait." The old way is far away, the voice is smooth and soft, but it has a unique penetrating power, it is obviously soft, but it clearly falls into everyone's ears.
"Qingfeng Dao Chang is polite, take the liberty to disturb Dao Chang Qingxiu, and look at Haihan." Mr. You Fang returned the salute and also folded his hands. Li Yiming and the others got up one after another, only Chen Quan was still sitting on the ground, squinting his eyes and observing the old way casually.
"A few people are here on the trust of the old way, so why bother? But the old Tao was lazy, and invited a few people into the temple to speak. Lao Dao shook his shirt lightly and made a gesture of invitation to everyone at the bottom of the steps.
Lin Lu unloaded the gun on his waist, put it on the ground, glanced at Zhang Shanjun who was on guard on the side, and strode towards the main hall, Li Yiming also put down the pistol, and led Liu Meng and everyone to follow behind Lin Lu. Only Zhang Shanjun, still holding a gun, stood vigilantly in place.
"A few people are coming from afar, please take a break first, and I'll go prepare refreshments for a few people." Lao Dao waited for everyone to speak, and then walked to the side hall.
"Dao Chief, don't bother, we are on a mission, my name is Lin Lu, the person in charge of this operation, we are here mainly to find out if there are any new changes in Lian Yunfeng in the near future." Lin Lu stopped the old Taoist priest who was walking and ticketed, and hurriedly explained his intention.
"It's not too late." The old man smiled and waved his hand, as if he was determined to prepare, and the old face smiled, and the wrinkles became more obvious.
"Qingfeng Dao is very polite, let you prepare tea for us by yourself, it really hurts us." Mr. You Fang took the opportunity to step forward and helped Lao Dao back to the crowd.
"Swing ...... too" Lao Dao shook his head and chuckled, looking at everyone with a cloudy gaze, as if he was only now starting to look at the people.
Lin Lu frowned slightly, nodded at Mr. You Fang without a trace, and took half a step back, she was most afraid of dealing with this kind of person as she was from the army.
Lao Dao's gaze swept over and over again, but when he saw Li Yiming, his sluggish gaze suddenly paused, and he looked at the top of Li Yiming's bare head suspiciously, and put his hands together, and he made a precaution.
"The old Taoist is clumsy, I don't know that there are monks and monks here...... "Mr. You Fang is civilized with Taoism, even if he lives in the mountains, the old Taoist priest has heard of it, but this is the same door; No matter what the common people believe, when they enter this great hall, they are pilgrims, and they are participating in God, not his breeze; But the Buddha is a guest, and this rule cannot be broken......
"The Taoist misunderstood, I'm just bald......" Li Yiming touched the eyes of the old Taoist, the nerves behind his ears twitched, and he subconsciously lowered his head, completely presenting the top of his head in front of the old Taoist, seeing clearly, seeing clearly, there was no ring scar on it......
Lin Lu glanced at Li Yiming strangely, and Liu Meng covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Qingfeng Dao Chief, let's talk about Lian Yun Peak......" You Fang Daoist was also dumbfounded, he had been famous for Qingfeng Dao Leader for a long time, how could he have imagined that it would be like this after meeting? Sure enough, the years are not forgiving......
"Speaking of Lian Yunfeng...... A few of you, please come with me......" A trace of sadness suddenly appeared on the old Taoist's face, and he quickly covered up the previous embarrassment, and walked towards the back of the hall with staggering steps, and Mr. You Fang hurriedly stepped forward to support him again.
Li Yiming touched his bald head and followed behind him with a wry smile, but Chen Quan looked around with a calm face, not letting go of a single brick and tile in the main hall, and finally stopped his gaze on the candlestick in front of the statue......
"If you dare to take even a leaf here, I will bury you under the locust tree in front of the temple." Lin Lu appeared beside Chen Quan without a trace, and snorted coldly.
"Hehe, Captain Lin smiled, and it was fate." Chen Quan laughed dryly and withdrew his gaze.
"You can try your fate with the locust tree." Lin Lu glared at Chen Quan fiercely again.
A cadre of people with the old Taoist footsteps, slowly came to the backyard of the Taoist temple, the backyard is not big, the house is dilapidated and old, the low wall moss spreads, under the thick osmanthus tree stands a stone table, four stone chairs surround the surroundings.
Millennial Taoist Temple? Why is it so broken? Li Yiming's gaze skimmed over the green bricks on the ground, which were distributed in a special arrangement, forming a delicate and mysterious pattern.
"Bring us here, the Taoist is ......" You Fang Taoist carefully looked at the backyard, but he didn't know what the old Taoist priest's purpose was.
"That ......" the old Taoist priest narrowed his eyes, slowly raised his right hand, and pointed forward.
"That?" Lin Lu took two steps forward, walked to the old Taoist priest's side, followed the old Taoist priest's finger and looked ahead, a low wall, the wall was slightly damaged, the wall roots were covered with fresh moss, and a column of unknown plants stubbornly pierced out of the cracks in the low wall, and attached to the wall and worked hard to extend upward.
"Above, in the distance, ...... mountains" The old Taoist priest took a deep breath and stared ahead, undisguised with deep worry in his eyes.
"Mountain?" Li Yiming frowned, and the direction that the old Taoist priest was pointing to......
"You mean the mountains in the distance?" Lin Lu took a deep breath, there was indeed a mountain in that direction, but it was far away from here, and it was even beyond the scope of the Tianshan Mountain, right? Is this old man really old?
"No, I mean the nearby peak."
"Close? Old, you won't play us, will you? Because of his height, Chen Quan's vision was blocked by the low wall when he stood on the ground, and he climbed onto the stone table under the osmanthus tree, stood on his tiptoes, and was thinking about whether to climb the osmanthus tree.
"Forty-nine peaks of the Tianshan Mountains, there is the thirty-first peak, and the broken lotus peak ......" The old Taoist priest slowly lowered his hand and looked at everyone again.
"Broken Lotus Peak?" The man with glasses stared at each other, glanced at Li Yiming, and quickly took out the computer. "Shown on a satellite map...... There...... There is indeed a mountain peak......"
"What?" Lin Lu dodged and appeared next to the man with glasses, staring at the computer in Li Yiming's hand without blinking. Liu Meng was curious and also came up.
"A mountain peak disappears?" Li Yiming looked at the direction pointed by the old Taoist priest again, it was still empty, blue sky and white clouds, clear sky, and it was completely impossible to cover it with clouds and fog.
"Since nine days ago, that mountain peak would disappear every noon, and in the evening, it would reappear ......" The old Taoist priest said in a flat tone, as if talking to himself.
"Didn't you say that the vision only appeared in Lianyun Peak?" Mr. You Fang asked in the same surprise, his eyes kept looking at the computer in the glasses man's hand.
The old Taoist priest did not answer Mr. You Fang's words, but turned around and looked up at the osmanthus tree that was about to open in front of him.
"No, I need to use an outside device to confirm again." The man with glasses put down the computer, looked at the empty sky again, and walked out quickly, this scene alone was enough to attract his attention.
"We're going to help you, Jianmin, come." Lin Lu greeted and quickly followed.
"I'll check it out too." Liu Meng was curious, nodded at Li Yiming, and quickly followed.
"Can you talk about it alone?" Just when Li Yiming also wanted to follow, the old Taoist priest suddenly spoke, looking at Li Yiming with a cloudy gaze.
"Of course." Li Yiming stopped raising his footsteps, happily agreed, and at the same time glanced meaningfully at Mr. You Fang and Chen Quan on the side, and the two quickly left with interest, but Li Yiming muttered in his heart, what does this old Taoist priest want to talk about with himself?
The old Taoist priest didn't speak, slowly walked to the stone bench under the osmanthus tree, and didn't care about Chen Quan's trampling just now, and sat down directly on his knees. Li Yiming understood, walked over to him and sat down.
"I don't know what advice the chief has to offer." Li Yiming looked at the other party with a smile, but he didn't know that this smile was ridiculous with his bald head and no eyebrows.
"I learned Taoism at the age of seven, read the Book of Changes at the age of 35, watched the Book of Changes at the age of 41, studied the river map at the age of 49, began to travel the world at the age of 53, and then walked through more than 300 Taoist temples in the famous river for ten years." Lao Dao sighed and looked up at the osmanthus tree above his head again.
Li Yiming listened carefully, nodded incessantly, but doubted again in his mind, what are you talking to me for?
"When I was sixty-three years old, I arrived here, Tianshan Lianyun Peak, so far, I have never taken a step out of this idle cloud view." Lao Dao withdrew his gaze and put his hands into his wide sleeves, his eyes revealing reminiscence.
Li Yiming nodded seriously and quietly waited for the old Taoist priest's next words. Like a primary school student who listens to a lecture, the eccentricity in his heart keeps spreading, won't it be for me to accompany him to reminisce about the past, right? The elderly seem to have this hobby.
"I arrived in the evening that day, when I knocked on the mountain door, the door was opened by a small Taoist boy, other Taoist friends are doing evening classes, I am a Taoist priest who travels to the party, it is not easy to disturb, so I sit in front of the temple to meditate and breathe, the strange thing is that in this deep mountain Taoist temple with beautiful mountains and rivers, I can not settle down anyway, and even can not meditate, I silently recite the Qingjing Sutra 19 times, but my heart is still chaotic."
"Oh? And then? Li Yiming really couldn't pretend to be patient and listened to the lecture, so he couldn't help but ask, pretending to be interested.
"Later...... Later, I lived in this Xianyun Temple, and this residence was forty years......"
"Forty years? Daoist ...... this year" Li Yiming was slightly surprised, the old Taoist's narration was really difficult for him to concentrate, he could only look for other topics.
"Lao Dao has three out of a hundred this year."
One hundred and three years old?
