The sky is hazy and bright, and the moon is hidden in the clouds. The morning dew is crystal clear and cool. Xi Xi breeze sent the first warmth in the morning, accompanied by the clear sound of the morning bell of Baiyunguan, which made people feel indescribably comfortable.

Mo Li woke up and saw Youruo sitting next to the couch.

Seeing Mo Li wake up, her cheeks were slightly red, and she stood up a little unnaturally.

"Childe, you're awake. ”

Mo Li nodded, got up, straightened the clothes on his body, took the towel handed by Youruo and wiped it, and said, "Why did you get up so early." ”

Youruo said: "Early in the morning, the Taoist priests in the temple were beating bells and drums there, and they were still asleep. ”

"It's called morning class. Day and night alternate, purple gas rises in the east, burns incense and sits and watches, and recites Taoist scriptures, one for practice, and the other for cultivating the mind. ”

You Ruo nodded without knowing whether she could absorb the essence of the sun and the moon by birth, she didn't understand why these Taoist priests wanted to burn incense and chant scriptures, what was the point of doing so, it was better to swallow the essence of the sun and the moon, and the aura of heaven and earth came directly.

"Let's go, go out and have a look, and when they finish their morning class, we will say hello to the real person, and then go down the mountain." Mo Li pushed open the door, let out a long breath of turbidity, and walked towards the front hall.

Youruo followed Mo Li, came to the front hall, and saw that the main hall was full of Taoist priests, and the white-eyed real person sat under the statue of Sanqing, closed his eyes, held the sun in both hands, and meditated quietly. And those Taoist priests are sitting on the futon, sassing the scriptures like the Dharma.

Mo Li found an open space and sat down.

"Danzhu is a god of mouth, spitting out filth and removing the atmosphere, the tongue god is upright, and he raises his life and raises his gods; Luo Qianzhi is a god of evil and true, and the throat god is a tiger. The spirit of the spirit leads to Jin, and the heart of the Dan Yuan makes me true. Thinking about the spirit refining liquid, the Tao qi lasts forever. Lingbao Tianzun, comforting the body, the soul of the disciple, the five internal organs Xuanming, the green dragon and the white tiger, the team battles, the Vermilion Bird Xuanwu, the body of the guard...... The ferocity dissipates, and the Tao lasts forever. ”

About an hour passed, the morning class was over, and the Taoist priests in the hall left the main hall, some went to practice the Dharma outside the hall, prepared meals behind the hall, and some went to clean the inner and outer courtyards with sweeps, and went to clean up and prepare to welcome pilgrims...... For a time people went to the temple empty.

The white-eyed Taoist waved the floating dust in his hand, walked to Mo Li's side without hurry, and asked, "Xiaoyou, you can rest well last night." ”

Mo Li replied: "If you fall asleep, you will be refreshed." ”

"That's fine. ”

"Real person, yesterday bothered, today came to say goodbye. Mo Li continued.

"Oh, why don't you stay for a few more days and make tea together?"

"Real people's beauty, this time I can meet a real person when I go down the mountain, but it is fate. However, mundane things arise and cannot be stayed for a long time, if there is a fate in the future, it will naturally come to the internal disturbance. ”

Bai Mei saw that Mo had made up his mind to leave, and he couldn't say anything, so he took out a piece of green jade from his cuff and handed it to Mo Li, saying: "Since this is the case, the poor road will no longer be retained, and this jade pendant is still hoped that Xiaoyou's subordinates will definitely come in handy in the future." ”

"Such a precious thing is inseparable from ......"

"Hey, little friend, you don't have to see outside. Being able to talk about the way of the world with your friends is really a blessing for the poor. Besides, it's not a valuable thing, so take it. ”

"Okay, then Mo Libian is disrespectful. Mo Li stopped twisting and took the jade pendant.

"It's just that this is a long time, and I don't know when I will see you again. I hope that Xiaoyou can think about it again, if you can figure out yesterday's suggestion, you will come to me, but the world should change. ”

After greeting with the white-eyed Taoist for a while, Mo Li went down the mountain.

However, when Mo Li and Youruo descended the mountain, the white-eyed Taoist changed his face, turned around and walked into the Taoist temple, and summoned a Taoist priest to say: "Go and spread the word, Allah has appeared, and everything can be planned." ”

——

On the way down the mountain, Youruo followed Mo Li and asked, "Childe, what kind of person is this white-eyed real person?"

Mo Li smiled and asked, "Youruo, what kind of person do you think he is?"

Youruo thought for a moment and said: "He gives people the feeling of being an unconventional mountain hermit, but there is an indescribable feeling on his body, which always makes people feel that it is not so simple." ”

Mo Li smiled and said, "He is indeed a Taoist priest, but a Taoist priest who is unwilling to be a Taoist priest only. ”

"Childe, I don't understand what you're talking about. ”

"It's true that Bai Mei is a Taoist priest, but he is more like a politician. ”

"No wonder he said what the world, the people and the country. ”

"Maybe officialdom is more suitable for him. If he is in the officialdom, he cares about the people, and he may be an auxiliary minister who has made great achievements for thousands of years. ”

"Why didn't the prince agree to him and be the lord of the world? In this way, he could govern the world and give the people a prosperous peace. ”

"Youruo, do you think the position of the lord of the world is so easy to sit in? Besides, my heart is in the Tao, and the Lord of the world is just a passing word to me. ”

"Childe, you told Youruo before, in the past, the three emperors and five emperors ruled the world, ruled the world with martial arts, and then ascended to heaven and ranked in the immortal class, so why don't you follow suit? ”

Mo Li was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to answer, he was silent all the way, until a city tower came into view, Mo Li suddenly said: "Youruo, I can't refute what you said, maybe I reject it from my heart, I hope to be like the master, if I have the ability to do my best for this world, but in the end I can still achieve my own way and take the path I want to take." Do you understand?"

Youruo nodded without thinking, and Mo Li continued to say when he saw this: "The moment I bowed to the master's door, the master said that those who cultivate the Tao should cultivate the righteousness of heaven and earth, help the justice of the world, kill demons to defend the way, and solve the suffering of the world with a righteous heart. I have always kept in mind the lessons of my master, although you call me a son, but I regard you as a sister, but also as a confidant, if one day my way deviates, you must remind me. ”

Hearing that Mo Li regarded himself as a sister and confidant, Youruo's heart was full of excitement. In fact, in her heart, those Li people and Jiangshan Sheji have nothing to do with her, she just wants to stay by Mo Li's side, maybe to repay her kindness, or maybe it is because of Mo Li's fate after helping her on the right path that they are tied to each other. And at this moment, Mo Li's words touched her heart, and she seemed to feel that only by truly understanding Mo Li's Tao could she get out of her own way.

"Childe, I see. ”

A city tower in front of you comes into view, majestic and magnificent, and there are two columns of officers and soldiers standing outside the city gate, and people come and go. Mo Li pointed to the front and said, "There is a city ahead, it is just noon, take you in to see the prosperity of this city." ”

"Le'an City. ”

Entering the city from the east gate of Le'an City, you can hear the sound of small traders selling from afar. Burden-bearers, rice sellers, wine sellers, gold and silver jewelry, clothes and crowns, in short, the city is full of shops, people come and go, and there is an endless stream.

Fascinated by the sight of the city, like a child of seven or eight years old, full of curiosity about everything, sometimes he walks to the mask stall, plays with the masks with different faces, and sometimes walks to the jewelry stall...... Mo Li followed behind Youruo, looking at Youruo with a smile on his face, he thought of Ling'er.

"Childe, what is this?"

"Girl, this is a rock sugar gourd, do you want one, it's delicious. The vendor said.

Mo Li took out a few pennies and handed them to the small vendor, took out two rock sugar gourds from the target and handed them to Youruo. Youruo gently took a bite of the rock sugar gourd, and said again and again: "Childe, this is really delicious, do you want to eat it." As he spoke, he handed the sugar gourd in his other hand to Mo Li, Mo Li smiled and helped her hold it, walking on the street, but attracting the attention of passers-by next to him to look back again and again.

I happened to pass by a restaurant, and the name said: "Xinghualou." ”
