Chapter Thirty-Nine: An Easy Choice
I saw this Taoist priest open his mouth and said: "Immeasurable Tianzun, it is not easy to be poor, this Taoist brother, I don't listen to your accent like a person from our Shaanxi area, you are a tourist who comes here, alas, when you are out of the house, you encounter this kind of thing, it is not easy to escape with a surname."
After the fat man heard the words of the Taoist priest, he thought in his heart: It's not easy to be poor, I'm down, I haven't said how to thank you, have you started to show your merits, you know that you are not easy, brother is easy, thankless, and fell here, almost lost his life, not easy, I am really not easy.
Seeing the fat man's puzzled eyes, the Taoist priest hurriedly explained: "This Taoist brother, the surname of the poor Taoist family is cloth, and the name is easy, because the poor Taoist has not been able to apprentice to the teacher until now, so there is no official Taoist name, and the people in the Taoist temple have always called it that." The Taoist priest said with an embarrassed face. Whoever calls it this name will have this expression. The fat man snickered in his heart, how could this name be as fun as the benefactor, what a second father it must be to come up with such an earth-shattering name!
The fat man thought that he was going to be weak for three days in a row, and Zhengrong said to this not easy Taoist: "That cloth master, oh is the preacher chief, my name is Zhang Qi, Yan Zhaoren, originally worked at a construction site in Chang'an City, when the accident happened, the workers who were with me were scattered, I was hiding from the attacks of monsters and zombies, and I was hungry to find a place to hide, which was frightened and frightened, running and fleeing, and then fell ill in front of the door of Guiguan, fortunately, there was a way to save me." Thank you for saving your life, but I still have a reluctant request, and I hope the Taoist will agree"?
The preacher hurriedly waved his hand: "If there is anything to promise or not, Brother Zhang Dao said, as long as I can do it, I will definitely promise you." Now that the world is like this, we should watch and help each other." The Taoist priest looked at the fat man's half-white hair and shabby clothes, although he was quite fat, but when he saw the vicissitudes of the fat man's eyes, he knew that this fat man was the same as himself, and he was also a ill-fated and destitute person. The Taoist priest saw his current situation from the fat man. Compassion arises spontaneously. is also a fallen person at the end of the world, so try to help if you can.
When the fat man saw that the Taoist chief agreed, he sighed infinitely in his heart, good people, there are really not many such people now: "Dao chief, my body has not recovered yet, I want to recuperate in your hospital for three days, I don't know if the Taoist priest can agree"?
When the preacher heard this, it was easy to do: "No problem, now that the mountain is in such a mess, you should rest in our courtyard for a few more days." Speaking of which, after the Taoist priest put away the dishes and chopsticks, he said to the fat man: "Brother Dao, yesterday my Taoist patriarch appeared and taught the cultivation exercises, you have written them down, the poor Dao is fine now, I have to go to practice the five elements diligently, Brother Dao is here to recuperate at ease first, I am very quiet, and few people usually come." Poor Dao is practicing next door, if there is anything, Brother Dao will call me, and Poor Dao will come over soon. If Brother Dao is fine, let's try to practice this exercise, this is a big battle given to us by the ancestor to settle down and defend against monsters and zombies." After saying that, seeing that there was nothing to do with the fat, the preacher strode to the next door.
Although the preacher is a little wordy, he has a good heart, and he is really a true Taoist who looks at his actions, and is much stronger than the Taoist priests who are not saved when they see death and want to throw him away.
Time flies quickly, unconsciously, the head has been west, the fat man across the wall, can hear the busy voice of the preacher outside the door, for a while, a burst of rice fragrance wafted into the room, the fat man understood, it turned out that the preacher was making dinner, at this moment, the sound of footsteps outside the door sounded, listening to the sound that seemed to be two people coming in from outside, one person shouted: "It's not easy, you guy is lazy again, ask you to cook, it's been half a day, it's not done, do you sincerely want to starve you to death of your teachers and uncles?" The person who spoke was not very old when he heard the voice, but his tone was very arrogant and domineering, and there was no one in his eyes, and he looked down on him.
"Uncle Yixin, no, it's really the two junior brothers who used to help me cook together, and they turned into zombies two days ago and were overtaken by your uncles and fathers, and I can't be busy alone, no, I haven't cooked until now, and I ask the two uncles to forgive me." It's not easy for the sincere and frightened voice to sound, and in the face of the scolding of the two junior uncles who are more than ten years younger than him, his heart was full of helplessness, so he had to step forward and explain carefully.
"Forget it, what's the anger on his number, an old Taoist boy who hasn't even been ordained, he also deserves to make you angry, senior brother, let's go, that, who, it's not easy, don't hurry up and deliver the cooked meal to the restaurant in front." Dozens of people are waiting there to eat, so don't hurry up. I don't think it's enough to punish you with incense, and the next time you kneel for a day, you'll know the harm." The other said disdainfully, urging the senior brother to get out of here quickly.
After a while, Bu Yi finished delivering the food, came back, and as soon as he entered the door, he held two big bowls and said, "Brother Dao, I made you a bowl of oily noodles tonight, come, try it." There is also a bowl of egg soup, Brother Dao should eat it while it is hot." Bu Yi smiled, and he didn't look like he had just been wronged.
The fat man nodded gratefully, let the preacher help him up, came to the table, and ate a small bite, while eating the fat man and the cloth easy to chat, after a while, when the noodles were almost eaten, the two of them began to get acquainted.
After the fat man drank a sip of egg soup, he asked puzzledly: "Preacher Chief, you have been in this courtyard for more than ten years, why are you so miserable, besides, why don't you want to find a way out of it?"
Hearing this, the preacher smiled bitterly: "I have thought about it before, but I can only recite the scriptures, and I can't do anything else, except to be a Taoist, what else can I do." Besides, my uncle also said before he died, I can't leave this building, I have to wait here, what are you waiting for, my uncle didn't say that the immortal died, my uncle raised me since I was a child, and I can't help but obey his will"?
Fat asked curiously: "Dao Chief, what kind of scriptures do you know?"
When the preacher heard this question, his eyes lit up, and he said proudly: "When I was a child, I followed my uncle to live in the Taoist temple, and when I was five or six years old, I would memorize the "Infinite Human Sutra", "Sanguan Beidou Sutra", "Tieguan Forty" and "Quanzhen Homework Sutra". Later, it took me three years to be forced by my uncle to memorize the entire Daozang. At the age of sixteen, with my uncle to this Loutai Guan Taoist Academy, because my uncle's surname is straight, I have offended a lot of people, after my uncle went to the immortal, I have been a Taoist child in this temple for more than ten years, and there is no one to give me the ordination. Alas". Speaking of his own ordeal, the preacher let out another long sigh. It is said that there are many filthy things in this world, but how can this side be spared? 、
The fat man said indignantly: "Then get out of here, there is no water and soil to support people, I just heard what they said about kneeling incense, what's going on, Taoist"?
The preacher smiled bitterly: "I am not a few disciples of the Taoist Academy, but together with a few uncles who did not deal with my uncle back then, they found some small reasons to punish me. Alas, the poor Tao is incompetent, and he can't leave this Taoist temple, so he has to accept it."
"After the big change two days ago, there were still more than 20 tourists staying in the Taoist temple, and they were all driven down the mountain by my prison uncle. Saying that there is not much food in the temple, or something, Poor Dao said some good things for these tourists, and was punished for a long time. Alas, I look at all the uncles and uncles in the house, and their actions are indeed a little not atmospheric, this mountain is so chaotic, drive people down the mountain, what if you let the zombies and monsters eat. Isn't this pushing people to a dead end"?
The fat man was speechless when he heard it, the end of the world is coming, and the truest side of this person's heart is all reflected, and it is not unusual to do anything in order to survive.
"Okay, it's not easy, you actually collect outsiders privately in the view, and secretly say bad things about the prison master here, let me wear it, I see if you have anything else to say"? The door of the house was opened, and two little Taoist priests, Yixiu and Yiyuan, walked in. looked at Daoist Bu Yi and the fat man coldly, and his eyes showed a kind of joy, reporting to the prison master, this can be regarded as a great achievement. If only the prison master could accept the two of us as disciples.
Bu Yi begged bitterly, the two Taoist priests were unmoved, and the last cultivator stayed here, and Yiyuan ran to report to the prison.
Soon the prison Qingming, with a large number of disciples over, Qingming Taoist looks like he is in his fifties, a fairy wind bones, the image of a master outside the world, looking at the fat man lying on the bed, and looking at the cloth easy, Qingming said mercilessly: "It's not easy, since a few days ago, we have a rule in the view, no more outsiders are allowed, you are knowingly guilty, now this court orders you to send this person away immediately, Loutaiguan can allow you to continue to stay, otherwise, you are left to fend for yourself."
Hearing that the prison was so ruthless, Bu Yi hurriedly argued: "Uncle of the prison yard, this person was found outside the bamboo forest when the disciple was sweeping the floor. This person is different from other tourists, when the disciple found out that he was already sick and dying, so the disciple carried him to my courtyard and treated him, and hoped that the master of the prison would give him a way out. Let him stay with the disciple to recuperate, and the disciple is willing to share half of his own food every day, and does not dare to occupy more of the food in the courtyard."
When the head of the Qingfeng Dao of the prison heard this, he was already furious: "You didn't hear what I said, either drive him away and you stay, or, you leave the prison with this outsider, if it weren't for the sake of emptying the senior brother, this prison would have kicked you out a long time ago." Go, hurry up and drag this man away."
