Chapter 25: The Xuanqing Daoist (I)

"Alas, alas!" I quickly reminded, "Don't bother with the kitchen idea, yesterday was fine, but now it's dangerous if you eat what's inside." ”

"Then get up quickly, let's find a place to eat!"

At the moment, I don't know how to describe my feelings, it seems that I am a little lost, or disappointed, but I am not very comfortable anyway.

I got up and jumped on the courtyard wall of the Taoist temple with Hu San and observed the nearby terrain. It seems that the mountain behind the Taoist temple is the Tianqing Mountain that we passed by when we came, because we saw many bushes on the mountain not far away.

Thinking of the experience in Tianqing Mountain, I am a little scared until now, my life is really hanging by a thread, and I almost returned to that world. But at this time, I still can't be completely sure that the old Dao Gu is an old monster who cultivates evil arts, to be honest, I don't want them to be the same person, maybe it's because of Xiaolian. Thinking of Xiaolian, I sighed, and I didn't know where she was at this time.

We looked around, behind us was Tianqing Mountain, under the cliff was a depression, with a green knee-high weed, in the distance was the lair of the old monster we had been to yesterday, and there was a sparse grove nearby, but there was no trace of Tianqingguan.

Hu San frowned and sighed: "Alas, where can I find it?" ”

"Why don't we go back first, and find someone who understands to inquire clearly!"

Hu San nodded reluctantly.

"We can't go this time," I said, pointing to the building looming in the distance, "It should be the nearest exit!" ”

"Alas!" Hu San sighed, "Okay, listen to you." ”

"I know you're looking for Master, but it's useless to be in a hurry." I patted him on the shoulder, "You don't have to worry too much, Master's ability is so great, it's going to be fine." I comforted him.

Then we jumped off the cliff and walked in the direction of the building in the distance.

We didn't go the same way yesterday, firstly because we were a little far away, and secondly, we still had some scruples about the old monster. We walked for about half an hour, that is, about an hour now, those buildings can be seen more clearly, it can be seen that this scenic area is really big, but the strange thing is that there is no one in such a large scenic area.

It was about half an hour before we walked out by sight, and we were walking among a small tree, a poplar forest, the trees were very small, it seemed to have been planted for less than two years, and many of them had died. The road under your feet is barely called a road, full of stones and weeds.

The woods were very sparse, and I could see far away at a glance, and suddenly I noticed that there seemed to be a dark shadow in the distance, like a person.

"Be careful, there's someone up ahead." Hu San reminded.

I nodded, and it didn't take long for us to see that it was an old man carrying firewood. I saw that he was wearing a black robe, with his hair tied in a bun, and he was picking up dry wood in the forest with his head and waist. He hadn't noticed us yet.

When we got closer, he looked up in our direction, stunned for a moment, and then continued to bend down and pick up the firewood.

When I saw that he was obviously dressed as a Taoist, would he know the location of Tianqingguan.

"Hello, old man?" Without waiting for me to speak, Hu San asked with a smile on his face.

The old man raised his head, and a face full of vicissitudes appeared in front of us, he should be a little younger than the master, he did not have a beard, he was slightly fatter than the master, his face was very dark and dirty, as if he had not been washed for a long time.

"What?" The old man shouted in a hoarse voice.

"Old man, let's ask for the next way!"

"What do you say? I can't hear clearly! The old man said, gesturing to his ears.

It seemed that his ear voice was not very good, Hu San stepped forward, approached and said loudly: "Old man, let's ask for the next way!" ”

"Ah, what's the way?" This time he heard clearly.

"Do you know where the Azure Temple is?"

As soon as Hu San finished speaking, the old man's expression changed significantly, as if he was surprised or sad.

"Ahem!" The old man put his hand to his mouth in the shape of a fist and coughed twice, "What are you asking about there?" ”

"We've got something to get there." Hu San said.

The old man gathered the firewood around him, sat down on it, and said, "What is the matter with you!" Just tell me. After saying that, he coughed twice.

As soon as I heard that there was something in the words, looking at his Taoist dress, could it be that he was the old Taoist in the Azure Temple?

I asked tentatively, "Old man, are you ......?"

"I am the abbot of Tianqingguan."

Yes? What he said was too unexpected for me, Master said that the abbot of Tianqingguan was his Taoist friend, although Master was not a fairy wind Dao bone, but he was also very temperamental. I thought that since the abbot of Tianqingguan was a fellow Taoist of the master, he was not far behind, but at this moment, the dirty and broken old man in front of me said that he was the abbot of Tianqingguan, which completely subverted the imagination in my heart.

Obviously, Hu San was also surprised, he was stunned for a long time and asked, "Then you are a Xuanqing Daoist?" ”

The old man nodded, and coughed twice.

Hu San and I glanced at each other, I understood what he meant, and Hu San didn't quite believe that the person in front of him was a Xuanqing Daoist. But when he thought about it again, there was no need for him to panic.

"Old man," I bowed, "we are Hu Daxian's disciples, and it was Master who asked me to come to you!" ”

When Xuanqing Daoist heard Hu Daxian, there was a trace of joy and surprise on his face. said: "Are you really Lao Hu's apprentices? ”

Hu San and I nodded at the same time, and I introduced: "He is my senior brother, his name is Hu San, I am his junior brother, and my name is Li Qingming." ”

"Hu San? Oh, you're Hu San? Xuanqing Daoren's expression was quite excited.

Hu San was at a loss and looked at it in a daze.

Immediately, Xuanqing Daoist smiled all over his face and held Hu San's hand: "I haven't seen you for many years, and you have grown so big!" ”

Listening to what he said, he seemed to know Hu San.

"Old man, have you seen me?" Hu San asked suspiciously.

"What an old man, called Uncle Shi!"

"Ah, Uncle Shi!" Hu San responded.

"Why haven't I seen you, your master often carried you to my door when you were young, and I also hugged you?"

Hu San scratched his head and smiled stupidly: "Yes, I don't remember at all." ”

"You were young, two or three years old, how can you remember, alas!" Saying that, the Xuanqing Daoist sighed, "Later, I had some small conflicts with your master, and this old immortal never came to see me again." Xuanqing Daoren's expression became sad again, as if he remembered some sad living matter.

Hearing this, there is no doubt that the old man in front of him should be a Xuanqing Daoist, but how did he become like this?

"This is not the place to talk, let's go, come to me!" The Xuanqing Taoist greeted us warmly, and he tied the firewood on the ground with a rope and was just about to carry it on his back. I hurriedly stopped and said, "Uncle Shi, I'll come, I'll carry it!" ”
