Chapter 16: The Taoist Priest of Laoshan (I)
Linglong's heart was full of doubts, and she said to Honglian as she walked: "Auntie, why do I think this Han Xiang is weird." ”
Honglian said: "What's so strange?"
Linglong shook her head: "I don't know, it's weird anyway, I can't say it for a while." ”
Honglian felt funny: "Then don't talk nonsense, he knew me well before he attained enlightenment, and as for the matter of attaining enlightenment, everyone is convinced, do you have any doubts?"
Linglong rolled her eyes and said, "I think he knows everything about us, but he deliberately conceals his strength and only uses some big words to bluff people." ”
Honglian trusted Han Xiang very much, and didn't take Linglong's words seriously at all, and laughed it off.
Xuan Ying said to the red lotus, "Master, where are we going now?"
Honglian thought for a while: "I originally planned to go back to Mingyue Mountain first, but more than ten miles forward is where my uncle lives, let's go to him for a while, so as to ask for a proposal, and by the way, I will introduce you to my uncle and ancestor." ”
"Uncle Shi?" Linglong and Xuanying glanced at each other, and Linglong said with a smile: "It must be an old man with a white beard." ”
Honglian pursed her lips and smiled: "The old man is not, but you have to be careful when you see him later, he has a strange temper." ”
More than ten miles soon arrived, there was a narrow valley under a steep cliff lined with strange stones, and a shallow stream with crystal clear bottom meandered through, and the small fish in the stream swam around, leisurely. Not far from the brook stood three thatched huts, and it was nearly noon, but the wood doors were tightly closed.
When the three of them came to the hut, Honglian knocked lightly on the door and said respectfully: "Uncle! ”
After no one answered for a long time, Honglian said again: "Uncle Shi, I'm Honglian, are you here?"
Still silent, Honglian muttered to herself, "Could it be that you are out?"
Seeing that no one was silent, Linglong stepped forward and peeked in through a gap in the door, who knew that there was also an eye looking out in the gap, and Linglong was startled by the bone-bone.
Linglong hurriedly took a few steps back and shouted, "There are people inside!"
With a "squeak", the wood door opened halfway, and a scholar-like person poked his head out.
Honglian saw this person and said busily: "Uncle Shi, I thought your old man was not there······
The scholar looked to be in his thirties (the age of the cultivators is actually not visible on the surface, some people are actually over 100 years old, and they look like they are only thirty or forty years old), his face is thin, his face is white, he is beardless, he is wearing a dirty and shabby robe, and an apricot silk ribbon is tied around his waist. I saw that he ignored the red lotus, looked left and right through the crack in the door, and saw that there was no longer anyone smiling at the red lotus, and said, "What are you doing?"
Honglian said: "We passed by from here and came to greet Uncle Shi." ”
The scholar sighed and said, "Good nephew, I haven't seen you for more than 20 years, but you still have the best eyes, and now that you have seen it, I won't delay your journey, please take it." With that, he slammed the door shut.
Linglong felt angry and ridiculous as if she saw a monster, and said to Honglian: "Auntie, this person is your uncle?"
Honglian smiled: "My uncle is good anywhere, but he is suspicious all day long······"
"Bang!" Before he finished speaking, the door opened, and the scholar poked his head out again and raised his eyebrows and asked, "You girl came to arrange me again, when did I become suspicious······ Who are these two people?"
Honglian said: "Good teacher uncle learned that they are my niece Linglong and apprentice Xuanying. ”
"Oh. The scholar nodded, and closed the door again.
Linglong was afraid that Honglian would hear it, so she whispered to Xuan Ying: "I'm afraid this person is a madman." Xuan Ying looked at the master and didn't dare to answer. Unexpectedly, as soon as the door opened, the scholar came out again, and pointed at Linglong angrily: "Children can't speak disrespectfully to their elders, how can this be reasonable!"
Linglong grimaced and muttered, "You heard such a small voice, your ears are really smart." ”
Honglian hurriedly said: "Uncle Shi should not be like a child. ”
The scholar coughed and said seriously: "Where do I have the same knowledge as her······" I saw him look around again, and then said, "Just the three of you?"
Honglian also felt very strange and said, "Uncle Shi, who are you hiding?"
The scholar flashed and said: "No, no, no, no one to hide... Didn't hide from anyone. ”
Linglong snorted, "Sneaky! ”
The scholar raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "I didn't!"
"Yes!"
"Nope!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"No, no, no, no, no!" the scholar finished and grinned: "You said that I have five, and I have six of you, so fortunately I don't suffer." ”
Xuan Ying said to Linglong: "It seems that this person is quite compatible with you." ”
Linglong smiled and said to the scholar: "You are bullying the small with the big, you are really not ashamed." ”
The scholar thought about it and felt reasonable, but his confidence was insufficient, his eyebrows drooped, his eyes rolled around, and he was speechless for a while.
Honglian smiled and relieved him: "Uncle Shi, you won't let me go in and sit when I came from afar?"
"Ah······! Seeing that there was a topic to change, the scholar raised his eyebrows again: "I have this intention, come and come, come and sit." After saying that, he was the first to enter the house.
Honglian also followed in with Linglong and Xuanying, only to see that the furnishings in the house were very simple, there was a large stone buried in the sand in the center, and the top of the stone was quite smooth, it is estimated that the scholar saw that this stone could be used as a table, so he built the house on top of it. There was a stone more than three feet tall and a little smaller stone next to the big stone, and it was a stone bench, and there was a straw futon in the corner of the house that was broken and grinned, and that was it.
The scholar sat on the broken futon, pointed to the stone stool, and said to Honglian, "Sit down, sit down." ”
Honglian shook her head, feeling that if she sat on it, her feet were high off the ground, it would be a little funny, so she had to lean against the stone.
Linglong had no place to sit, so she walked around the room, and then said to the scholar, "Are you really my aunt's uncle?"
The scholar raised his eyebrows and said, "If it's fake, did your aunt mention me to you?"
Linglong smiled and said, "Yes, yes, just now my aunt said that you are weird, let me be careful when I speak." ”
When the scholar heard this, he squinted his eyes at Honglian, who was so angry that he turned his head and pretended not to hear.
The scholar snorted and said to Linglong stupidly: "The child is talking nonsense, let me tell you, I was originally the refining master of the Laoshan Sect, and your aunt is still my nephew, my name is Wang Sheng, but they all call me Wang Qi." ”
"Oh" Linglong nodded: "You were originally the refining master of Laoshan Mountain, which means that you are not now!"
Wang Qi said hatefully: "It's all such stinky bullnoses, your aunt and I were all driven out by them." However······ I don't know why, in the past two days, there have been two groups of Laoshan disciples searching around in this area. ”
Red Lotus Qi said: "Uncle Shi, were you hiding from them just now?"
"Shhhh·····h
