Xuan Jiucao said embarrassedly: "Let you laugh, I have some paraffin red here, burn a little now, the mosquito repellent effect is very good, hehe!" Don't look shabby here, in fact, the house is still very dry! ”

Sure enough, as Xuan Jiucao said, the white smoke that came out of the red instantly drove away the dense mosquitoes around, an oil lamp was lit in the room, and the withered yellow fire illuminated every corner, and on the middle hall facing him, there were two portrait painting scrolls hanging, I frowned, only to see that there was only an incense burner on the table.

I know the two paintings, one is the portrait of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, and the other is the portrait of Lao Tzu (Taishang Laojun), the founder of Taoism.

Although the ancestors of Taoism are Lao Tzu, but Taoism and Taoism are different, the so-called Huang Lao Taoism, in fact, refers to the emperor and Lao Tzu's Taoist school of thought, with the emperor and Lao Tzu as the founder, but also the earliest title of Taoism today, Huang Lao Taoism began in the Warring States period flourished in the Western Han Dynasty, pretending to be the Yellow Emperor and Lao Tzu's thoughts, in fact, it is a combination of Taoism and Legalism, and also adopts Yin and Yang, Confucianism, ink and other views.

The difference between Taoism and Taoism, Taoism originally referred to Huang Lao Taoism, the concept of Taoism originally referred to Confucianism or Confucianism, in the Wei and Jin dynasties, people used Taoism to refer to what we call Taoism today, and at the same time still used Taoism to refer to Confucianism or Confucianism, from the end of the Han Dynasty, people used Huang Lao Taoism to refer to Taoism today, today's Taoism is not to Confucianism of the Five Classics as a teaching, but to Lao Tzu's Tao as a teaching, the concept of Taoism refers to the religion of immortality for the purpose of immortality, at the same time, Taoism still uses the name of Taoism and Huang Lao.

"Wei Shu Shi Lao Zhi" records: The source of Taoism comes from Lao Tzu. It is also self-proclaiming, born congenitally, with ten thousand kinds. Yujing is the sect of the god king; Under Ziwei, he is the master of the flying immortals......

The Yellow Emperor Kongtong asked, cast the Ding Alchemy, and expounded the scriptures under the pillar of Lao Tzu and went out of the Han Valley in the west. Therefore, with the Yellow Emperor as the era, there has been a history of more than 4,700 years of Taoism, Taoism takes "Tao" as the highest faith, takes Dan Dao magic as the way of cultivation, and achieves the Tao as the ultimate goal.

Light the three pillars of incense, and then bow to the "Huang Lao", and Xuan Jiucao also cleaned up everything.

"There is only coarse tea and light rice between the mountains and fields, please use it for the seventh day of the first year, hehe!"

Xuan Jiucao smiled and prepared the dishes and chopsticks, saying that it was the bowl and chopsticks, but the chopsticks were bamboo chopsticks, as for the bowl...... To be precise, it should be two bamboo tubes, with an oblique mouth on them, which are already filled with a bamboo tube of tea, and on the table, there are fragments of two broken porcelain jars, which seem to have been polished into "plates" by Xuanjiucao, one is fried wild vegetables, one is cold bamboo shoots, and there are a few black buns.

Although it is coarse tea and light rice, it tastes unique.

After eating, Xuan Jiucao seemed to have begun the hour of cultivation, on the side of the incense burner, meditated cross-legged, I had nothing to do, and I also meditated cross-legged on the bed in the inner room, but as soon as I sat down, I suddenly felt a lot of discomfort in my body, first I was flustered and short of breath, then I was irritable, and finally I reluctantly put away my handprint, I stared blankly at the dark night outside the window, and muttered to myself: "What's wrong with me?" Why can't even the most basic meditations calm down? ”

"Mei'er, how uncomfortable do you feel?"

After thinking about it, I had to turn to Mei'er for help.

But soon, Mei'er's answer made me mutter...... "Master, although Mei'er has practiced for nearly a thousand years, she has always been a spirit body, and the overlapping aura here is extremely strong, and my sensing ability is greatly limited, even beyond the master's body, I can't sense anything......"

"Uh......"

Thinking hard to no avail, I had no choice but to give up the plan to practice, and when I looked up, I saw Xuan Jiucao appear in front of me at some point, and when I saw him, Xuan Jiucao said lightly: "You go to bed early, I'll develop herbal medicine......"

After speaking, before I could reply, Xuan Jiucao turned around and walked out, I retracted my gaze in a daze, tilted my head and thought about it, and lay on the bed to sleep, this Xuan Jiucao, it seems that there is a story I don't want to let me, and it is inevitable that he is alone to inherit the ancestral business, and it is normal to have a little story, but I still feel a little empty in my heart.

Xuan Jiucao went to the mountains during the day, and it was to pick herbs, and after meditating at night, he made a mess in the outhouse, maybe selling the herbs developed to the village in front of him to eat, or maybe keeping them for his own use, in short, who knows.

Calm down and think about it, this place is really strange, sometimes you will feel unreal strange when you see the beautiful scenery, sometimes, you feel that the cheerful and easy-going Xuanjiucao seems to hide another side, and this so-called "dry rice basin" can only be described in one word from the inside out, that is, "strange!" ”

I was dazed, and I didn't know whether I was asleep or awake, and when I heard the sound of chopping wood outside, I subconsciously opened my eyes, but soon fell asleep again, until a burst of medicinal smell wafted in, and not long after, I fell asleep in a daze......

"Wake up! Wake up! ”

In a haze, I was pushed by something, and I woke up suddenly, but I saw Xuan Jiucao holding an axe in one hand, standing in front of the bed in a daze, looking at me expressionlessly, I was immediately stunned, and asked in surprise: "Xuan...... Xuan Daoyou! You, you, you're ......"

The first reaction in my mind is that I have encountered a neurotic disease in the mountains, right?!

But his mind turned sharply, as if he had met Xuan Jiucao, and he didn't notice any unusual behavior from him, but he was carrying an axe......

How do you know that Xuan Jiucao glanced down at the axe in his hand, quickly put it down, frowned and said: "Junior Seventh Daoist, I can't live here anymore, we must leave here immediately!" ”

"Why?!"

As soon as the long sword came out, Xuan Jiucao's eyes widened, staring at the evil sword in my hand, and then said hurriedly: "There is a group of intruders who will come here soon, in order to avoid conflict, we must go into the mountain and hide!" ”

"Intruder? Conflict? This is...... What's going on? ”

I put the magic bag on my back, and put the Gengzi sword on my back, and asked puzzledly.

Xuan Jiucao said anxiously: "I don't have time to explain now, let's talk as we go, let's go!" ”

"Hmm!" I no longer hesitated, and immediately followed Xuan Jiucao out of the door, but at the moment when I was close to the door, I suddenly turned my head and glanced at the portrait of "Huang Lao" in the middle hall, as well as the incense burner on the table, after a short pause, I turned my head and followed quickly - the mountain road at night was more difficult to walk, but Xuan Jiucao was walking like flying, like walking on the ground, even if I relied on the breeze to follow, I couldn't catch up with his rhythm, but fortunately, we quickly hid in a hidden place on the hillside, I proposed to look back, Xuan Jiucao hesitated, He lay down with me on the edge of the stone and looked down at the little house below.
