In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed since the separation with Ye Zhiqiu. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the past month or so, Wu Ming occasionally thought of the corpse king who broke the city, and also thought of Ye Zhiqiu, who returned to the mountain gate.

However, the thing I think about the most is the Shangqing Palace of Qingcheng Mountain and the future that I may have.

The distance is getting closer and closer, and it is difficult to feel at peace.

Wu Ming didn't know what was waiting for him in the Shangqing Palace, and he didn't know if his expectations could be fulfilled in the Shangqing Palace.

"The outside world is getting more and more chaotic, or it's better for us to be here. Although it is not closed at night, there is no chaos caused by demons and monsters, which is a good place. ”

"Of course, you don't look at what kind of place this is, this is at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, and there are old immortals living on the mountain!"

Listening to the words of the two passers-by, Wu Ming looked at the green mountains in the distance and whispered: "Qingcheng Mountain has arrived, hey, the weather is getting colder and colder, it is estimated that there will be a few more autumn rains, and it will almost snow!" ”

"Yes, we've been away from home for more than two months, and I don't know if my mother is okay with them. Fortunately, we have arrived at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, big brother, we have succeeded! The little narcissus looked very happy, and was not at all worried about the road ahead.

Wu Ming smiled and touched the little narcissus's head, took a deep breath, and walked towards the mountain.

Different from the Qingcheng Mountain in later generations, in the world of Liaozhai, Qingcheng Mountain appears more tall and mysterious.

Wu Ming took the hand of the little narcissus, walked through the stone steps, and walked towards the mountain together.

After walking for two hours, I saw a Taoist temple towering in the clouds and mist, with three big characters written on it: "Shangqing Palace".

"The avenue is invisible, and the world of fertility is born. The avenue is ruthless, running the sun and the moon. The avenue is nameless, and all things are nurtured for a long time, and I don't know its name, and the strong name is called the Tao......"

In the Taoist Palace, the Taoist priests were doing morning classes and reciting the Qingjing Sutra.

Wu Ming stood outside and listened quietly, until the sound of the scriptures stopped sounding and the Shangqing Palace opened the door of the palace.

The door of the hall opened, and hundreds of Taoist priests bowed their heads and walked out, and no one looked at Wu Ming more.

Wu Ming looked inside through the gap and found that there was also a purple-clothed Taoist who sat on the main seat and did not leave.

"If you want to come in, let's come in!" The purple-clothed Taoist was in his thirties, holding a whisk in his hand, and saw Wu Ming's plan.

Hearing the invitation of the purple-clothed Taoist, Wu Ming bowed three times to the Shangqing Palace before walking in respectfully.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" The purple-clothed Taoist slowly opened his mouth and asked softly to Wu Ming.

Wu Ming bowed his head slightly, and replied in a deep voice: "The disciple has been yearning for the Shangqing Palace for a long time, and he wants to worship in it to learn the Dao Law!" ”

"Where did you come from and how did you get here?"

"The disciple came from Liuzhou, trekked all the way through mountains and rivers, and walked on foot."

The purple-clothed Taoist pinched his fingers, frowned, and said, "No, you have two donkeys in front and back, why did you come on foot?" ”

As soon as Wu Ming heard this, he hurriedly replied: "The disciple doesn't dare to say anything, the first donkey was bought in Liuzhou City, and my sister Narcissus rode all the way until in Anning Town, the zombie bit the donkey to death." The second donkey, I picked it up outside Yong'an County, the owner of the donkey was killed by a zombie, and I buried its owner before taking the donkey away. Along the way, the disciple did not ride for even a moment, and the whole process was prepared for my sister! ”

The purple-clothed Taoist pinched his fingers and calculated carefully, and the more he calculated, the more he nodded, and said with a smile: "Yes, you are not lying, and you are still a sincere person." So tell me, what have you encountered along the way? ”

The female ghost who cheats the corpse, the shepherd who drives the sheep, the unscrupulous corpse king, and Ye Zhiqiu, who is dedicated to being a human being.

Wu Ming said very carefully, and turned aside all the customs, demons and monsters he saw on the road of more than 1,000 miles.

"Giving up your family wealth and walking more than 1,000 miles to the Shangqing Palace is enough to prove your sincerity. However, I pay attention to the fate of the Qing Palace, and the little girl next to you has a relationship with my Shangqing Palace and can be my personal disciple. But before your fate comes, I can't take you in......"

The purple-clothed Taoist said very slowly, but it seemed to hit Wu Ming's body with a sledgehammer.

Wu Ming looked at the confused little narcissus, and then at the purple-clothed Taoist who closed his eyes and was silent, his heart was full of bitterness.

After a moment of silence, Wu Ming said with difficulty: "Dao Chief, I was able to go all the way and see you in the Shangqing Palace, which means that I still have a relationship with the Shangqing Palace." For the sake of my single-mindedness, you can let me stay, and give me a chance! ”

"Dao Chief, please give me a chance. The eldest brother is here to learn the Tao, and if he doesn't stay, I won't stay! The little narcissus also spoke, clutching the corner of Wu Ming's clothes.

The purple-clothed Taoist sitting on the futon looked at the little narcissus with a resolute face, and then looked at Wu Ming, who had a bitter face, and waved the dust in his hand lightly: "Go down the mountain..."

In the next second, the dust hit Wu Ming's body, and he arrived at the foot of the mountain in the blink of an eye, except for the little narcissus.

Looking up at the Shangqing Palace on the mountain, which had disappeared, Wu Ming was speechless for a long time.

He never thought that he would be driven down the mountain because he had no fate, but the little narcissus was accepted as a personal disciple by the purple-clothed Taoist, which is really impermanent.

"What should I do, do I just leave? No, I can't go, where can I go! Wu Ming made up his mind that he definitely couldn't just leave.

After walking around at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain for a long time, Wu Ming found a thatched house, and he didn't know who left it.

Seeing that there was a house to live in, Wu Ming settled here, and he had no intention of leaving.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed, and the little narcissus also came to find it.

As soon as Wu Ming asked, he learned that the Taoist who wore purple clothes and accepted Xiao Narcissus as a disciple was the current Shangqing Palace Sect Master.

"Big brother, I've come to see you."

Pushing open the door, the little narcissus looked inside, and the back of Wu Ming wearing a Taoist robe and holding the Tao Te Ching was in sight.

Seeing Wu Ming's back, Xiao Narcissus had tears in his eyes, couldn't help hugging his shoulder, and choked up: "Big brother, I've been begging for three days, and that bad Taoist priest in purple just won't agree to accept you." Otherwise, let's go, let's go back to Liuzhou City and live a peaceful life. ”

Speaking of Liuzhou City, the little narcissus showed a look of affection and looked at Wu Ming with tears in his eyes.

Hearing the words of the little narcissus, Wu Ming could only smile bitterly.

The disciple of the Shangqing Palace Sect Zhenren, that is the identity that Wu Ming can't ask for, but in the eyes of the little narcissus, what else can he do but smile bitterly.

"Narcissus, go back quickly, big brother won't leave." The firm words showed his mentality, Wu Ming was like an ancient well without waves.

The little narcissus didn't leave, and it wasn't until he stayed with Wu Ming for an afternoon that he was led back by two disciples of the Shangqing Palace.

After sending off the little narcissus, not long after, the outside world suddenly blew violently, and an autumn rain came as scheduled.

It was raining heavily, and it was dark early.

Wu Ming looked at the thatched hut in the wind and rain, put down the Tao Te Ching in his hand, covered his head and began to sleep.

There was no word for the night, and the next day the torrential rain continued without any stopping.

When Wu Ming woke up, he found that the house was full of standing water, and many people were shouting loudly outside.

"There is an urgent training from the government, the upstream dam will not be stopped, everyone hurry up and pack up your things, let's get out of here!"

"Keep up, all come up, let's go to a safe place!"

Wu Ming lay at the door and looked out, and found that in the wind and rain, many people were marching.

At this time, the water outside had already submerged the instep, and everyone shouted as they walked, as if the government had prepared a resettlement site.

"Young man, what else are you looking at, hurry up and keep up!" In the crowd, an old man waved his hand and motioned for Wu Ming to leave the house quickly.

After hearing this, Wu Ming shook his head vigorously and replied, "I'm not leaving, I'm going to learn the Tao in the Shangqing Palace, and I won't go anywhere until I learn the Tao!" ”

"Nonsense, after the flood comes, if you stay here, can you still live? Don't be stupid, it's better to save your life, it's a big deal that after the flood clears, you can just come back. The old man's words came into his ears, but Wu Ming still shook his head.

Shangqing Palace is not a shelter, how can you reflect your heart when you come back after leaving.

Wu Ming waved his hand and didn't answer, closed his door, and planned to stay here to the end.

An hour later, the water had risen to his knees, and Wu Ming sat on the table and looked at the Tao Te Ching.

Three hours later, when the flood flooded the table, Wu Ming sat on the closet, still immersed in hard reading.

Six hours later, the flood had already flooded the wardrobe, and Wu Ming could only stay on the beams.

At this time, the rain outside is getting heavier and heavier, and the wind is getting heavier and stronger.

Wu Ming on the beam of the house could clearly feel the pulling force from the outside world.

It was as if the thatched hut was already in danger and would collapse at any time under the impact of the flood.

"Are you still in there, young man?"

There was a shout outside, and it sounded a bit like the old man in the morning: "If you're inside, talk to the old man." I don't worry about you, so I dismantled a wooden board and came to save you! ”

Hearing this, Wu Ming, who was standing on the beams of the house, drilled the straw above his head.

It was the old man who had spoken to him in the morning, wandering outside his thatched hut in a boat made of wooden planks.

"Old man, go back, I won't leave!" Wu Ming replied loudly, the wind and rain hit his face, and he didn't have any fear.

The old man was furious and shouted, "You have thought about it, don't leave now, and when you want to leave later, no one will come to save you!" ”

"Don't go, I'm going to Shangqing Palace to learn the Tao, a little wind and rain, how can I stop my heart to the Tao!" Wu Ming's affirmative answer made the old man leave helplessly.

After more than an hour, the water had already overflowed to the beams of the house, and Wu Ming had to soak half of his body in the water even if he was standing.

Feeling that he was in danger, Wu Ming still had a firm gaze, and instead read aloud the content of the Tao Te Ching.

In this way, after a full day and a night of soaking in the water, the flood gradually dissipated.

When Wu Ming stepped down from the beam, both legs were soft, and only his gaze did not change in the slightest.

In the blink of an eye, another month passed, and the flood seemed to have become a memory.

At this time, the outside world has also turned from late autumn to early winter, and some of the thatched huts that leak the wind are really cold.

"Knock knock...... Is anyone there? There was a knock on the door, accompanied by a sweet sound, crisp as if a oriole was singing.

Wu Ming opened the door and looked out, and found that the person who came was a beautiful girl with a lot of expensive jewelry.

"Is there something wrong?"

"I am a foreigner who came to incense, and I heard that at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, there is a Taoist priest who is very interesting. A month ago, even if there was a flood in the sky, it couldn't stop his heart to the Tao, so I came to see this strange man ......" (To be continued.) )
