Chapter 13: The Old Man Who Sang Poetry
It is only said that Helian Xuanqing left Mo Qunshan with Shaoqing Junze, and took the child with the underworld weapon on his back, so naturally he couldn't walk as quickly as he walked alone, in order to prevent unnecessary trouble, he hid the aura on his body and became a passerby who was no different from an amateur.

Pooled a carriage, Helian Xuanqing carried the two children on the way to Momen City, looking very leisurely, where there was a rush to be chased, but this made Qing Ming and others behind the popular heart, whether you chase or not, he is in front, the distance is not much, but you just can't catch up.
"He's playing tricks on us!" Qi Huan muttered after understanding Helian Xuanqing's thoughts.
Qing Ming straddled the horse's back, and his brows were already full of black lines, "You need to say." ”
Qi Huan pouted, "It's the father of two babies, why are you still so profligate!"
Qing Ming glanced at him, and the kid turned his head and pretended to look at the scenery.
Kuoluo Huo Yuzun and a few people followed behind and kept playing, he was a young man who was ignorant, and he had too much novelty about the outside world, and he seemed to have forgotten what he was doing when he came out, if it wasn't for Qing Ming watching, he didn't know where to run crazy.
In the evening, Helian Xuanqing found an inn in the small city of the royal gate to rest, and at night, the guests were eating and drinking tea in the hall below.
The people in the grassland are simple, there is no etiquette constraint, and everyone eats and drinks happily, although there is a small hall and a lot of noise, Helian Xuanqing, who is sitting in the corner drinking tea, feels very comfortable with his two dolls.
It was only a few hours after Jun Ze woke up, his body was very weak, coupled with the bumps along the way, his abdomen was not smooth, he had no appetite when he was lying on the table, Shaoqing sat on the side and looked at him with a bun in his mouth.
"Dad, are we causing trouble again?" Shaoqing, who had been holding back for too long, finally asked, full of guilt.
Helian Xuanqing glanced at him and smiled: "It's a good mess, it's not you who provoke this, Dad, I still have to go through a lot of trouble." ”
Shaoqing secretly glanced at his father, "That's ...... Then you're not angry?"
Helian Xuanqing smiled bitterly, "When did I get angry?"
Shaoqing pouted with a look of grievance, "When you were over there, you ...... You stare at me......"
Helian Xuanqing was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed, "Okay, of course I'm worried that you won't go back so late, and you should be angry." ”
Shaoqing's glass heart was comforted when he heard this, and he rubbed his mouth over there, "What the hell is that thing, you want to grab it so desperately?"
Helian Xuanqing made another cup of tea, "Naturally, it's a good thing, you'll know it later." ”
Shaoqing, "That ......"
Wanting to speak and stopping, Helian Xuanqing looked at his son and frowned slightly.
Shaoqing raised his hand and tapped Jun Ze's ear on the side, "That...... Are there really gods in the sky?"
Helian Xuanqing put down the teacup, "Yes, I'm not your father!"
Shaoqing squinted his eyes and looked at him, Helian Xuanqing laughed loudly, "Haha, just kidding, just kidding!"
"But you can really summon the Divine Dragon......" Shaoqing muttered, but Helian Xuanqing didn't know how to respond for a while.
When the father and son were at a stalemate, a white-haired old man with a little boy sat down on the side, "Young man, it's full of people over there, come here to share a table, okay?"
Helian Xuanqing looked at the old man and said with a smile: "It's convenient for you to be with others, and you can be at your own leisure." ”
The old man was not polite to him, he was very unkind, after sitting down, he brought the cup of tea in front of Shaoqing, and drank it cleanly, Shaoqing didn't have time to say anything, he took the cup and lifted the teapot and poured two cups, one for himself, and the other for the little boy next to him.
"That's what we bought!" Shaoqing saw that people were so angry, stood up and pointed at the old man and shouted.
Helian Xuanqing glanced at him and motioned for him to sit down, Shaoqing stared at the old man with his head pouted for a while, and then transferred to the little boy next to him.
The little boy was beautiful, fifteen or sixteen years old, seeing Shaoqing staring at him, he clasped his hands together and saluted, "Donor excuse me." ”
The face is carefree and joyless, and the eyes are so clear that people are not even willing to raise fish, Shaoqing looked at this character and his heart moved, "Are you a monk?"
Xiao Tong shook his head, "Poor Dao is a Taoist, and his legal name is full of Taoism." ”
Shaoqing turned his head when he heard this, only staring at the person next to him, and somehow didn't want to talk anymore.
Helian Xuanqing poured another cup of tea and put it in front of the old man, and said with a smile: "Presumably the old man is in a hurry, right?"
The old man drank the cup of tea again, and then laughed lightly, "It's not in a hurry, it's going far." ”
Helian Xuanqing let out an "oh", "Then dare to ask where you came from and where are you going?"
The old man took a sip of tea and said, "Wuji comes, Wuji goes, there is nothing to say." ”
As soon as he heard this, Helian Xuanqing knew the clue, and the person who came was originally a fellow practitioner.
Seeing that the old man and the little boy were not much entangled, Helian Xuanqing asked for the tea money for this meal, and said some gossip in the middle, and heard that Shaoqing over there dozed off vigorously, thinking that he would have to hurry tomorrow, Helian Xuanqing made a promise to say goodbye and was about to leave, but the old man opened a topic in the back.
"Young man, I see that you are a fellow believer, and I have something to say to you. ”
Helian Xuanqing paused for a moment, then hugged Junze Shaoqing and sat back again, "Please also ask the seniors to speak up." ”
The old man said: "Where the misfortune and blessing depend, where the blessing and misfortune lie, who knows the extreme? It is strange to be reinstated, and good is to be a demon. The mystery of people is long-lasting. It is a saint who is not cut, honest but not slashed, straight but not wanton, and glorious but not shining. Do you know what it means?"
Helian Xuanqing, "Know." ”
The old man continued: "The way of heaven is beneficial but not harmful, and the way of the saint is not to fight. Do you know what it means?"
Helian Xuanqing, "Know." ”
The old man dipped his finger in the tea and drew a circle on the table, "From the past to the present, only by letting go can cause and effect be obtained, although cause and effect are attached, but they still need to have a share." ”
Helian Xuanqing looked at the circle on the table, and suddenly smiled: "This is the origin of red dust, this has to be discussed with Yue Lao!"
The old man laughed a few times, "Old Yue? Old Yue only cares about marriage, but it doesn't have fate, it is the way, in artificial, yin and yang practices, can you do it?"
Helian Xuanqing, "No geometry. ”
The old man said, "Then why are you cultivating?"
Helian Xuanqing was silent for a while, "There is no cultivation." ”
The old man laughed again, "No cultivation, no cultivation for you, how can you talk about letting go?"
Helian Xuanqing, "......"
The old man raised a hand and pressed it on Helian Xuanqing's chest, "Young man, I mean it, I don't want to say it." ”
Helian Xuanqing, "......"
The old man put down his hand, "You cultivate your heart with the Tao, take your heart as your own way, the Tao is completed, yin and yang are combined, there is no morning sun, just like an old wound and a new hair, see if you are in pain, or not." ”
Helian Xuanqing stared at the water circle on the table for a while, then suddenly raised his head to look at the old man, and said: "The pain is in the bones, the injury is in the heart, Qing is a human, not a ghost or god, how can it not hurt?"
The old man looked at him and was silent, and Xu Shifang smiled and came out, "You have written a holy venerable, summoned a book and given a name, and you still recognize yourself as mortal flesh and bones?"
Helian Xuanqing was silent, the old man looked at him for a while, and then looked at the two children next to him, Xu Shi twisted a pinch of beard on his chin and said,
"The candle shines on the east sun, and the west is oblique.
Old friends don't see each other, and grievances turn into soup.
The gentleman has no confidant, and the elegance is desolate.
I'm afraid that when I wake up, my sword will be bleeding. ”
A few lines of flowing poems seemed to hit some memories in Helian Xuanqing's heart, looking at the old man in front of him, he didn't know how to respond for a while, looking at his appearance, the old man frowned and sighed, and finally said to himself: "Just chatter, how can you still take a step at a time......"
Helian Xuanqing acquiesced, still smiling slightly, and then bowed his head to the old man, "Thank you seniors for your advice, we will meet in the future, and then I will come to ask for advice, Qing, I will bow to you." ”
After speaking, he took Shaoqing Junze upstairs, and the old man didn't look at him in the back, just drinking tea and drinking.
At this time, Daoman on the side said to himself: "The dust and smoke of the old days have become a disaster, and the red dust of the present world is in the center, pretending to forget is better than exposing the wound to others." ”
The old man glanced at him, and Daoman also glanced at him, "Sometimes others don't just look at it, they have to sprinkle salt on it." ”
The old man laughed again, "What should come must come, even if you are intact, the pain will come sooner or later, but it is only a matter of time." ”
Daoman glanced at his master, "Master, it's better not to say some things, you have to spoil them before you come over, how annoying!"
Old man, "......"
