Chapter Ninety-Three: Dao Kong
Early the next morning, we continued to enter the mountain, and when we saw Wen Zhuo again, he returned to his cynical ruffianism, Ye Qingyu finally lived up to his kindness, and walked with us, Wen Zhuo and I glanced at each other, their eyes were calm and indifferent, smiled at me, and then walked in front with Ye Qingyu.
It may be that Wen Zhuo surprised her too much, I don't know if Ye Qingyu began to slowly believe that Xu Jingzi told her those words, or was moved by Wen Zhuo's sincerity, her attitude towards Wen Zhuo slowly changed from indifference to curiosity now, but she was still a little shy, Wen Zhuo was teaching her Taoism, from the beginning of the finger to the spell, Ye Qingyu was very interested in learning, I looked at the back and felt very gloomy.
How can the Tao be learned overnight, Wen Zhuo seems to want to hand over everything he knows to her overnight, the more he is like this, the more I feel unsure, the more Qianling next to me saw Wen Zhuo like this, and pulled me to teach her too, I was suddenly stunned, looked back at her, Wen Zhuo's today will be my tomorrow.
The road up the mountain was bumpy, I was speechless all the way and felt a little depressed, Yue Qianling saw that I didn't speak and asked me what's wrong, I suddenly asked her with interest, if I don't remember anything in reincarnation, but I remember me in every life, whether she chooses to accompany me in every life, or gamble on the ashes and recognize me.
Yue Qianling didn't think about choosing the latter, she said that instead of being close to the end of the world, it is better to recognize me for a last moment, at least the person standing opposite her knows who she is.
I took a deep breath, it turned out that the answer to this question was so simple, the person who had never seen it through was me, so I asked Wen Zhuo who was walking in front of me now, although Ye Qingyu still didn't remember who he was, but now he can talk and laugh side by side with her, maybe it is already a great joy for Wen Zhuo.
Although the road into the mountain where the sun shines is rugged, but the beautiful scenery of Longhu Mountain makes the fatigue dissipate a lot, Xiao Lianshan and Gu Anqi followed at the end and laughed, my thoughts slowly withdrew from Wen Zhuo's body, before coming, Gu Liancheng specially warned me that the three songs and nine caves were full of dangers, so I must not take it lightly, but after entering the mountain for so long, we have only passed the two of Xulingzi and Xujingzi.
It's just that the Taoist priest who welcomes guests has seen extraordinary, not to mention that there is a void son behind, we are really qualified to pass the three songs and nine holes after this person, the entrance of the void spirit has entered the realm of transformation, and the void is arrogant but the skill of the strange door can be called unparalleled, I began to ponder the last void son, I don't know what he will arrange to wait for us.
We walked up the mountain trail, and we didn't meet a single person along the way, until we finally reached the top of a mountain, Ye Qingyu and Wen Zhuo stopped, and Wen Zhuo looked back at me.
"I guess I'm going to lose some time here today."
Hearing what Wen Zhuo said, we saw a Taoist priest sitting on a stool at the top of the mountain, compared to Xulingzi and Xujingzi, the only feeling this person gave us was casual, without the freedom of the fairy wind and Dao bones and the indifference of a cultivator, sitting casually, smiling casually, and even the tone of greeting us was very casual.
"Poor Dao Void Son, on the orders of the Heavenly Master of Dragon and Tiger Mountain, I once again welcome all Taoist friends who go up the mountain to participate in the competition."
The directness of the Void made me a little uncomfortable, I thought that the person who was waiting for the last should be better than the two Taoist priests of the previous two Void Character Generations, but the Void in front of me made me feel easy-going, and I couldn't see anything else.
On the top of this mountain, there was a handful of tea in front of the Void Son, several old and broken porcelain bowls were placed on the rock next to him, and the copper kettle containing the tea was placed in the hand of the Void Son.
Seeing us coming, he hurriedly beckoned us to sit and rest, in fact, we were really tired when we climbed here, and our mouth was dry for a long time, Xiao Lianshan was still muttering in my ear, it seems that this Dragon and Tiger Mountain Sect is quite careful, knowing that he will be thirsty when he walks here, and even the tea is prepared in advance.
After experiencing the previous Void Spirit Son and Void Quiet Son, I believe that this Void Spirit Son may not be so simple, it can be the senior brother of the two of them, presumably it is not an ordinary person, Ye Qingyu is very generous and salutes forward.
"Dao Chief, I heard the two seniors in front of me say that if you want to enter Longhu Mountain, you must first pass the test of the three of you welcoming Taoist priests, we have already passed the two seniors of Xulingzi and Xujingzi, may I ask the Dao Chief, how should you live here?"
Ye Qingyu finally knew the severity, presumably Wen Zhuo had already told her about the Three Qu Nine Caves, and when she arrived here, she also knew that no one could go up the mountain casually.
"The female layman is polite, how old are my two junior brothers, a few years before the entry, I have the title of this senior brother a few years earlier, my three senior brothers have a soft spot for divination, but unfortunately the poor road is dull, the talent is not as good as the Xuling Junjuni, the attainments are not as good as the Xujingzi junior, and the learning art is not refined and there is an age." The Void Child's smile was approachable, and he still replied with a casual smile. "It's not an ordinary person to be able to pass him, all of you are hidden masters, it's easy to get here, sit down and rest, don't get tired and go forward, even if you want to test you, you are powerless."
If it was before, I thought Ye Qingyu should not think about anything now, and after thanking him, he turned away, and now when he heard the Void Zi's answer so simple, he looked back at us at a loss.
Yue Qianling pursed her lips and asked cautiously.
"Dao Chief, you really don't have any tests here?"
"No, it's really ......," Void laughed as he slapped his head halfway through. Look at my memory, I'm really confused, I need to have my junior brother Xujingzi's mountain token here, I don't know if you bring it. ”
Yue Qianling hurriedly took out the mountain crossing token and sent it to the Void Son.
"Then it will be, this token is awarded by the Heavenly Master, and those who hold the token here are considered capable people who have passed the mountain gate, and with this token they will exchange for a bowl of tea and drink here in the poor road, and they will enter Longhu Mountain along the mountain."
"Ah...... This token is just for tea? Gu Anqi asked dumbfounded.
"The female layman does not know, the ninety-nine peaks of Longhu Mountain, the mountain is high and the road is far away, the pot of tea next to the poor road is empty, there is the principle of Taoist forgetfulness, this tea is created by a real person, teaching Taoist disciples to be ethereal and forgetful, since you are all people who practice the Tao, it is fortunate to have the fate to drink this tea." The Void replied with a smile.
Xiao Lianshan seemed to have a dry mouth for a long time, no matter whether he was empty or forgetful, having tea to drink was more important than anything else, and he was relieved to hear the void say that there was no test, and walked quickly in front of Shan Yan.
"Dao Chief, pour me a bowl of water first, I'm too thirsty."
Void Zi nodded hurriedly, counted the number of us, took six bowls from the mountain rock next to him and put them on the ground, poured tea next to them, and smiled at Xiao Lianshan casually.
"Please."
Gu Anqi suddenly asked in my ear a little nervously.
"Brother Yanhui, this tea is too ...... Will there be a problem?,I guess something will happen if I drink it?。 ”
"Don't worry about this, this place is known as the first fairyland of Taoism, and it is where the ancestral court of Taoism is located. I replied calmly with a faint smile.
Xiao Lianshan had no tricks to be open, let alone think about it, he took the tea and drank it all, and then asked with a frown.
"Dao Chief, this ...... This is a bowl of clear water, and it doesn't taste like tea at all. ”
"The road is empty, everything is empty, what is drunk depends on how the layman understands, the layman drinks out of the clear water, it can be seen that the layman's heart is as pure as water, dust-free, try to ask the world there are very few laymen in this state of mind, poor Tao is convinced." The void gave Xiao Lianshan a salute and stretched out one hand. "The layman has drunk the empty tea, and he can go down the mountain after resting."
Although I said it easily to Gu Anqi, I secretly thought in my heart, this void is probably not so simple, but Xiao Lianshan drank the tea so easily, and the void man also showed him the way, I was somewhat puzzled, and Wen Zhuo glanced at each other, and the expression on his face was the same as mine.
Void Lingzi said that only after passing the three of them to welcome the Taoist priest can he be qualified to enter the Dragon and Tiger Mountain to start the test of the three songs and nine caves, although the first two are in danger, but they are all cultivators with true chapters, each with their own strengths, but the void in front of him is like a decoration, it is really a bit like he said that he is here to serve tea and guide the way.
Gu Anqi heard me say that there could be no problem with the tea, and seeing that Xiao Lianshan was now sitting comfortably on the side and beckoning to us, it was estimated that this mountain road also made her thirsty, so she walked over and drank a bowl casually.
Although the face of the void is casual, it can be seen that Gu Anqi finished drinking the tea in the bowl, and his expression was a little approving, I will not be able to see through this void for a while next to me, and when I react, Yue Qianling and Ye Qingyu have finished drinking tea, and there are only two bowls left on the mountain rock.
Wen Zhuo and I haven't drunk yet, maybe we think too much, maybe this void man is really here to serve tea and guide the way, look at the time is not early, and it will be difficult to walk on the mountain road after not going down the mountain at night.
Wen Zhuo walked over, squatted on the ground to thank the void first, and then reached out to serve the tea bowl on the ground, but his hand was on it but he didn't hold it up for a long time, I saw Wen Zhuo's brows furrowed slightly, and he retracted his hand, first looked at his hand, and then looked at the tea bowl on the ground with a puzzled face.
Then he reached out again to serve it, and put his hand on the tea bowl, but the coarse porcelain tea bowl was not picked up by him, and I found that Wen Zhuo's expression slowly changed from surprise to surprise and solemnity.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Lianshan saw that Zhuo didn't get up for a long time and asked curiously.
Wen Zhuo hesitated for a long time, and looked up to see our surprised answer.
"I can't hold this bowl!"
