"Zerkawa Heling...... Yes. Dongfang Shiming recited the verses over and over again, turned his head and suddenly asked, "Daoist Bai Hao, have you heard of a place called Qichuan Heling nearby?" ”

Bai Hao frowned when he heard this: "Qichuan Heling...... Ah, I'm kind of impressed. ”

"How so?" Dongfang Shiming had eyebrows when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.

But Bai Hao thought about it carefully, and finally only shook his head regretfully: "I haven't been there myself." In those years, the master went out every once in a while, and when he came back, he recited this name. I didn't pay attention to it at the time, but now that I think about it, I just remember that he went north every time. ”

"Hmm......" Dongfang Shiming nodded and continued to ask, "Then do you remember how long it takes for your master to come back every time he goes out?" ”

"It's different every time, I remember the longest time, he ran out for nearly half a month for this thing."

Half a month...... To the north. Dongfang Shiming calculates the length of the journey. It seems that it is necessary to go to see this Qichuan Heling once.

Look further down. It is estimated that the same is true of the river fan cloud village. As for the beggar, he had to inquire.

He read the rest of the content several times, and basically remembered the doubts in it.

Coincidentally, human voices were also heard in the courtyard outside. Bai Hao glanced outside, turned his head and said, "It seems that someone is here." If you don't stay any longer, I'll come when I go. ”

Dongfang Shiming shook his head: "No need." We just finished watching it, and we didn't bother anymore, so we took our leave. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of the broken bow and the letter. So he had to speak: "This ......"

"Take these two things. It's useless to put me here, just leave that dress behind. Bai Hao waved his hand at him and simply agreed.

"Thank you for that." Dongfang Shiming thanked him behind him.

The three of them went out together. There were indeed a few families in the courtyard, waiting for Bai Hao to come and help them worship the gods.

Dongfang Shiming took Bai Hao to say goodbye to Bai Hao Dao people. Dongfang Shiming put away the two clues, and his eyes were a little hesitant.

He wondered if he would go back to Dongfang's house first, or should he go to find this mysterious Qichuan Tomb first......

The snow was still thick outside the door. The two stepped on deep snow and planned to leave in a car.

And at this moment, Dongfang Shiming suddenly heard a burst of almost shouting singing not far behind him.

"I was born to love wild streams, and I carried a bamboo cane across Kyushu. The broken basket mentions the waning moon to Xiaoxiao, and the song board Chifeng sings the spring and autumn. Stepping on the road of the world with both feet, and picking up the sorrows of the past and the present on one shoulder. Now there is no need to eat it, why do village dogs bark endlessly? ”

"Oh?" Dongfang Shiming was attracted by the beggar's singing voice and turned to look.

Suddenly, I saw a man named Hanako, dressed in tatters and carrying half a broken bamboo stick, singing a song with his mouth wide open, limping away.

Hanako's mouth is indeed very large, and when she sings, she can see the few yellow teeth left inside. I saw him stop in front of the door of Xiangfengguan quite familiarly, and shouted: "Today, I will offer music to the gods and Buddhas, and our belly is happy." Take some incense money, so that we can teach us to eat enough! ”

Bai Artemisia was also curious about this old beggar who rhymed at the exit, and stood behind Dongfang Shiming and looked over there.

The old beggar's cry was immediate, and soon the two of them saw Bai Hao Dao Chang running out, taking a bunch of money and two steamed buns, and putting them in the beggar's broken bowl.

The beggar bowed deeply and sang a few kind words. Then he turned around and collected the money, hung the broken bowl on his waist, and walked away while grabbing the steamed bun and nibbling it.

Seeing the old beggar getting closer and closer, Dongfang Shiming thought of the "beggar" sentence in Shou Mei's poem. His heart moved, and he thought to himself, could it be one of the three clues, is this old beggar?

For a while, Dongfang Shiming's heart was indeed extremely coincidental. He took a silver inga from his pocket and walked toward the beggar.

Seeing this, Bai Artemisia hurriedly followed behind, wanting to see what was interesting.

The beggar walked forward, his attention focused on the steamed buns. Suddenly, he was blocked by Dongfang Shiming in front, he raised his eyelids and stopped chewing in his mouth.

"Sir, this is for you. It's cold, and you're not warm. Dongfang Shiming said, and stuffed the big ingot of silver into the old beggar's hand holding the steamed bun.

Seeing such a large amount of silver, the old beggar raised his face.

However, before Dongfang Shiming could continue to speak, his face showed a little disdain.

"Brother Gongzi does good deeds, accumulates good fortune, and goes to that Taoist temple." He leaned the bamboo cane on his body and grabbed the silver, "I always call the flower life poor and blessed, this ingot of silver - too heavy to hold." ”

After that, as soon as he let go of his fingers, the silver fell to the ground with a "snap", stained with a lot of mud.

"This ......" Dongfang Shiming was a little stunned.

"The two of them want to do good deeds, so they beg to move, and don't stand in the way of the old begging of flowers." The old beggar grabbed the bamboo cane and knocked on the pavement. Dongfang Shiming hadn't come back to his senses yet, so he had to turn sideways and let him pass.

The old beggar didn't look back, and after the two of them, he continued to play the song and went away. The voice is like a broken bowl, but it is extremely high-pitched.

"This, this ......" Bai Hao came back to his senses first, turned to the old beggar's back and stomped his feet angrily, "He's so rude!" How can there be such a guy, I don't like him! ”

Dongfang Shiming looked at the silver on the ground and was fascinated. Not that he was humiliated, on the contrary, he became more and more attentive to the beggar.

If it is an ordinary beggar, how can it be so eccentric. It is his difference that makes it necessary to pay attention.

Seeing that Daoist Bai Hao was no stranger to him, he had to ask carefully.

Thinking of this, he patted Bai Artemisia's head: "Let's go, don't be angry, he has already gone away." ”

"Hmm...... Bai Hao was still having a small temper, but when she was touched by Dongfang Shiming, she soon stopped being angry.

She stretched out her arm, grabbed Dongfang Shiming's hand on top of her head, and gently wrapped it around her shoulder. A little willful and smiling, she followed Dongfang Shiming back to Xiangfeng Temple.

In the courtyard, Bai Hao Dao was helping to bring offerings to the villagers from the chest. Seeing that the two had returned, he turned to the door and met them.

Looking at their posture, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "This is specially coming back...... Show affection? ”

"Uh, no, no, no." Dongfang Shiming was a little embarrassed, and tried to withdraw his hand, but was tightly held by Bai Artemisia. He had to raise his head to cut to the chase: "I want to know about the old gentleman who came to beg just now." ”

Bai Hao Dao really knew him very well. When he heard this, he said, "Oh." is also an old acquaintance, he will come to beg once every fifteenth month. ”

"Oh...... How long has he been begging? Dongfang Shiming asked.

Bai Hao pinched his fingers and slowly calculated, looked up and said, "It's been many years." He has been coming every month since I came to Xiangfengguan. It's been twenty or thirty years, rain or shine. ”
