Chapter 9: Letters
In the west of Yanzhou, sparsely populated, there is a group of mountains hidden under the white clouds, the strange peaks are craggy, the hundred summits gather, and the number is Lingque Mountain. There is a white sparrow peak on the Lingque Mountain, and the peaks are full www.biquge.info of large and small green shirts and white shirts, full of green. Beyond the forest, there is a row of wooden houses, solemn and quiet. Behind the wooden house, there was a small lonely house, with a chimney on the roof, and smoke curling.
"Get out of here, don't get in the way!"
In the room, a woman's angry voice suddenly sounded, and then a middle-aged Taoist priest was driven out of the house.
I saw him smile bitterly, and said to the people in the room: "Madam, let me come, your jade hands are delicate, and you are not suitable for these rough jobs." ”
"You said that you are the head of a sect, you have nothing to do, you don't know how to take care of the things in the sect, don't you be ashamed to worry about what these old ladies do for me here?"
"Our Yutian Sect is already sparsely populated, and the two little guys have also gone down the mountain, so what's the matter, so I'll do these rough jobs. The middle-aged Taoist smiled, testing the reaction of the woman in the house, but he didn't dare to step into the kitchen for half a step.
"Then you go to practice, go to the Tao, don't bother the old lady to cook!"
"But...... The things you made scared away several senior brothers!" The middle-aged Taoist looked bitter, thinking of the food made by his wife, and still has palpitations, his three senior brothers, after eating the food cooked by his wife, have not seen anyone so far, and it seems that he does not plan to return to the mountain for a while.
"Get out!"
A big stir-fry spoon fell to the ground with a clatter, and the middle-aged Taoist fled.
Coming from the kitchen, the middle-aged Taoist walked in front of the cedar forest, and the mood was still good, the two of them went through hardships, and finally achieved positive results, and occasionally such small things helped to promote the relationship between husband and wife.
The middle-aged Taoist was secretly distracted, when suddenly a sharp birdsong sounded in his ears, interrupting his thoughts. When he looked up, a cyan lightning flew straight in, and the Taoist raised his hand, only to see a cyan Luan Falcon landing on his finger, and a small bamboo tube hanging from the white hair around his neck. The middle-aged Taoist took off the bamboo tube, and the green falcon flapped its wings, and in a blink of an eye, it ran into the cedar forest and disappeared.
Open the bamboo tube, there is a piece of paper in it, Tsing Yi Taoist unfolded it, saw this resolute Xiaokai, quite a bit of pen power, knew that it was written by his excellent apprentice. At this moment, two more people came out of the wooden house, both of them were dressed in cyan Taoist robes, one was about the same age as the middle-aged Taoist, with a square face and a very generous face, and the other was a little older, his beard was already white, and his sword eyebrows were upside down, and he was not angry and arrogant.
"Senior brother, I just heard Xiaobai's voice, did Xiao Qi and the girl write a letter back?"
The middle-aged Taoist nodded, and the letter had already been read, so he handed it to the older Taoist priest.
The Taoist took it and looked at it with the square-faced Taoist priest on the side, and gradually frowned.
"Sick?"
The two glanced at each other, and then looked back at the middle-aged Taoist as if they were not sure, and the middle-aged Taoist smiled, looking at the clouds in the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Xiao Qi is very talented, his muscles and bones are wonderful, he has never been sick since he was a child, how can he go down the mountain in just a short time, and his body and bones have become so weak, no, I'll go back and write a prescription, let him make up for it!" As he spoke, the elder Taoist looked worried, turned around and was about to walk towards the house, but was stopped by the middle-aged Taoist.
"Eating whole grains, birth, old age, sickness and death are ordinary, just sick, but a trivial matter, it means that this kid has really entered the WTO, and in my opinion, it is not a problem with his body and bones. ”
The two glanced at each other and nodded, although the two were a little older, but when it came to cultivation and knowledge, it was still better than the master and brother in charge.
"Two senior brothers, where are you going?" Seeing that the two of them were neatly dressed, obviously planning to go out, they opened their mouths and asked, gently skimming the things in the letter.
"I'll not tell you," the square-faced Taoist leaned over and whispered with an embarrassed face, "Since then, your daughter-in-law has been in charge of cooking, and this meal will not be able to eat, I'm afraid that we will become immortals before we have broken through the Heavenly Dao, so the two of us plan to follow in the footsteps of the senior brother and go down the mountain to live for a while." ”
"It's time to eat! Senior brothers, it's time to eat!" At this moment, a loud female voice suddenly came, and several people's faces changed instantly.
The square-faced Taoist pulled up his senior brother and left.
"Senior brother, let's go first, you can ask for more blessings! If you really can't stand it anymore, go to the small wine village at the foot of the mountain to find us!"
Seeing the two senior brothers running away without a trace, the middle-aged Taoist smiled helplessly, turned around and saw his daughter-in-law open the door and come out, with an angry expression, he knew that she already knew about the departure of the unrighteous senior brothers, so he gritted his teeth, turned around and walked towards the wooden house, with a generous and righteous appearance.
......
Lin Qi and the others returned to Baijiang City, and naturally received the hospitality of Bai Yuanzhou, the Taishou of Baijiang City, and the guests and hosts were happy. The only regret is that since Lin Qi was drenched in the rain that day and came back, he fell ill. To this end, Bai Yuanzhou specially arranged a quiet courtyard for Lin Qi to recuperate.
Lin Qi was lying on the bed, sore and weak, his abdomen was hot like a stove for a while, and cold like an ice cellar for a while, Lin Qi was sick for the first time, and he took a few medicines, but he still didn't get better, in addition to being uncomfortable, there was still some novelty.
At this time, there were suddenly a few gentle knocks on the door outside the house, Lin Qi turned his head to look, and saw Cheng Xinian and Yuan Bao walking into the house, so he quickly sat up.
After a period of rest, Cheng Xinian has recovered as before, his complexion is as usual, and now Sun Buliu is dead, and the villains of the Heavenly Demon Sect have been eliminated, and he has also been counted as a piece of heart disease.
The little girl Firefly was not there, I didn't know where to play, the two sat down in front of the bed, greeted each other, and then explained their intentions, it turned out that the two had been in Baijiang City for a long time, and had decided to leave, and they came to say goodbye to Lin Qi today.
"Sun Buliu has been removed, the disaster of Baijiang City has been solved, those dead people back then can rest in peace, I don't need to stay here anymore, there are many disciples of the Heavenly Demon Gate, I plan to continue to travel, fight against the Heavenly Demon Gate to the end, and also do my little bit for the stability of the world." ”
"I also have this intention, I went down the mountain to practice, just to practice, and now that Brother Lin has surpassed me, I am so lazy, I really can't say anything. ”
"Where, Master Yuanbao's supernatural powers are admirable, and I'm still far behind. Lin Qi was telling the truth, but it made Yuanbao a little speechless.
"Lin Daoyou, you are young, your martial arts have reached the highest level, and your future is limitless, you are so modest, it really makes me feel ashamed. Cheng Xinian laughed, thinking that he was over half a hundred years old, if there was no chance, I was afraid that he would not be able to reach a higher level in this life.
Seeing that the two of them praised themselves, Lin Qi was a little confused, and asked, "What are the top grades you are talking about?"
Seeing that Lin Qi looked ignorant, not as if he was faking, the two of them were a little stunned all of a sudden, this little guy has great powers, how can he be confused in some places that everyone knows?
"The martial arts in the world are far away, there are many sects, masters are everywhere, and martial arts magic powers are also endless, I don't know when it started, some people have set a set of methods to distinguish the world's masters according to the current situation, divided by grade. Cheng Xinian thought about it for himself and began to give Lin Qi popular science, "The martial arts of the world, from one to nine, are divided into nine grades, the beginning is one, the extreme nine, one to three grades are the lower grade Ming Dao realm, the third to sixth grade is the middle grade through the secluded realm, the seventh to ninth grade is the top grade Quartet realm, and the person who enters the top grade is one in a hundred, as the saying goes, the seventh grade or more is called a master, and the nine grades are all grandmasters! ”
"Mortal, Grandmaster?" Although it was a little vague, Lin Qi still had some ideas.
Yuan Bao nodded, and then the old Taoist priest's words said: "Whether it is the upper grade or the lower grade, it is all mortal, and beyond the ordinary product, crossing the realm beyond the nine grades, it is a holy product, and everyone in the martial arts calls it a transcendent saint, and after entering the sainthood, they have entered the realm of the grandmaster, and these people can all stand alone and be admired by ten thousand people!"
"What about the Grandmaster?"
The two looked at each other and laughed together.
"Do you know how difficult it is to become a grandmaster?" Seeing Lin Qi shake his head, Rainbow Dash continued, "Grandmasters in the world, you can count them with one pair of hands, it can be said that there is no one in ten thousand! ”
After listening to this, Lin Qi was thoughtful, but he was uncomfortable all over his body, and his mind was also a mess, and some things flashed by, but he couldn't touch anything.
Seeing that Lin Qi's face was a little bad and he didn't have much energy, the two stood up and saluted Lin Qi.
"Lin Daoyou, you can rest, let's go by ourselves, the mountains and rivers will meet, we will have a period later!"
"There will be a date later!"
The two insisted on not letting Lin Qi send each other, Lin Qi had to lie back on the bed, the friend who had just befriended, he was going to part in such a short time, and he didn't know when he would be able to meet, Lin Qi suddenly felt a little sad, at this time, Firefly suddenly rushed in, cheerful like a butterfly, holding a bamboo tube in his hand, and ran to Lin Qi's bed and handed it over.
"It's my father's letter, and Xiaobai sent it back. ”
Lin Qi nodded, took the bamboo tube and asked, "Have you seen it?"
"I've read it, what my mother wrote, it's all verbose, and there is one written by my father to Xiao Qi, I don't understand. ”
Lin Qi was surprised, opened the bamboo tube, poured out the letterhead and opened it, the front was verbose, it was really like the temperament of the master, and there were a few words at the end, which was the master's handwriting.
"I don't know the true face of the mountain, only because I am here!"
Belch...... What does it mean?
In front of the cliff of Baique Peak, the middle-aged Taoist stood with his hands in his hands, looking into the distance. There was a beautiful ** man standing next to him, and there seemed to be resentment on his face.
"Master, what did you write to Xiao Qi, why can't I understand it?"
The middle-aged Taoist just laughed and didn't speak, which made the resentment on the lady's face a little deeper.
"What are you laughing at, why don't you go wash the dishes if you have nothing to do!"
"Alas, I'm also the head of the sect anyway, how can I do something that only a woman can do......" The middle-aged Taoist was about to argue, but suddenly saw the big frying spoon in his wife's hand, and his voice suddenly stopped.
"To go or not?"
"Wash the dishes, of course go, this is also a kind of practice!" The middle-aged Taoist snorted, turned around and left.
Come back soon, apprentice, I miss you for the teacher!
