The scholar led the master and apprentice to the guest room, and a young woman was cleaning the house next to the guest room, dressed in green clothes, with a beautiful appearance, and when she saw that a guest was coming, she stopped what she was doing and gave a blessing to the two.

The scholar introduced to the two: "This is Ah Huai, I used to meditate and read by her side when I was young, and the aura of her breath escaped, and she gradually gained spiritual wisdom. Ah Huai, you go and prepare today's dinner first, I will entertain the guests here. ”

Ah Huai nodded, and smiled at the master and apprentice: "If the two guests have any needs, just tell Ah Huai." "Even if he left this place, he disappeared in a puff of smoke.

The scholar led the master and apprentice to the guest room, and after the old blind man and the little mute had placed their bags, they followed the scholar to the living room.

Looking at the busy figure of the scholar looking for tea, it can be seen that there have been no guests here for a long time, but it is clean here, and I think it is also carefully cleaned by Ah Huai on weekdays.

The scholar took down a small box from a bookshelf and beckoned the two to sit down. Then he took out a set of purple sand tea sets, and introduced to the master and apprentice while boiling tea: "This is the only tea in our Xiaoxiang area, named Junshan Silver Needle, produced on Junshan Island in Dongting Lake, the owner of the island is my friend, and I am added every year." ”

"This tea bud head is fat and strong, firm and straight, the bud body is golden, full of white hair, has the reputation of 'gold inlaid jade', the soup color is orange and yellow, the aroma is clear and clear, the taste is sweet and mellow, the bottom of the leaf is bright and even, when brewing in the cup, it rises and falls several times, and is famous all over the world for its 'three ups and three downs'."

"This tea does taste very good, thank you for your generosity, and I also asked for the name of the Taoist friend." The old blind man took a small sip and savored it.

The little mute didn't know this, regardless of the hot tea, he drank it all, thinking that it was also a rush along the way, and he was thirsty.

"Look at my brain, I must have read a book, and I forgot to introduce myself, under the surname Gu, the name Zize. I have been cultivating for many years, but I am not even in the realm of prosperity, so I dare not be called a Taoist friend by the old-timers, just call me Xiao Gu. ”

Hearing the old blind man politely call himself a Taoist friend, the scholar's tense body did not relax you at all.

Most of these cultivators are transcendent and inhumane, and they may invisibly anger these people and invite them to kill.

The scholar told his realm tray, firstly, in exchange for some goodwill, so that the old blind man knew that he was not a threat, and secondly, with the strength of the old blind man, why hide it.

"There is a order to hear the Tao, but there is no high or low, Gu Daoyou doesn't have to be like this, I can't tell you my name in the next commission, I'm really afraid that I will bring you unwarranted right and wrong, and I will be a lot of trouble this night." The old blind man did not put on a master's stand, as if an ordinary person came to another country and borrowed money from a family.

"Then I'll have the courage to call you an old-timer." The scholar smiled.

"Gu Daoyou, don't be so cautious, if I have bad intentions, I will kill you when I enter the door, seeing that there is no smell of blood in your breath, you can know that you are a good person, but what puzzles me is that the demon thunder cultivator is mostly a monk's spell, and there are also evil species that absorb the essence of others, but to a Confucian monk like Gu Daoyou, I really have never heard of it."

As soon as the scholar, who was pierced by the old blind man's mind, came out, he became relaxed, so he said the heartfelt words in his heart: "Seniors, there is a saying in your human race: 'If you are not of my race, your heart will be different'. It was because of this sentence that I was chased and killed by some monks for no reason, so I lived in seclusion here, and did not dare to go down the mountain at will. As for why I practice Confucianism and Taoism, it is because when I was young, I read a sentence that the sage once said: 'There is no class in teaching'. The scholar was very excited when he talked about this, and there were tears in his eyes.

The old blind man heard his sincere tone and smiled: "You have been able to cultivate here comfortably for many years, thanks to Ah Huai, the house where she condenses with her body can hinder the prying eyes of many monks, and those monks who can see through this blind method will not surrender their identity and embarrass you." ”

"What my predecessors said is very true, thanks to Ah Huai all these years, otherwise I would have been struggling. It is ashamed to say that he was determined to achieve 'self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world', but he has been cultivating for more than 20 years and has done nothing. The scholar saw that the old blind man could even see through this greatest secret, so he no longer had anything to hide, and said it.

"In my opinion, there is naturally no problem with this path, and it is you who has the problem. It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books, and if you don't go to this world to realize the truths in the books, then what's the use of reading so many books. The path of cultivation is already very dangerous, and now in the world of the human race, which has a great momentum, it is even more so for the demon race, but there are still more good people in this world after all, no matter what, please don't lose hope in this world. The old blind man's words hit the scholar deeply in the heart.

The scholar felt that his heart suddenly brightened, and he hurriedly got up and said: "Thanks to Mr. Dial in the heart of the puzzle, the sage said: 'Threesome, there must be my teacher', the sage will not deceive me." The scholar was so excited that he laughed again and again.

When the little mute saw this scene, he suddenly felt that he was very lucky, those who did not have a master, when they encountered problems, they could only go to the book to find the answer, they had a master, and they smiled when they thought of this.

The old blind man felt that the little mute was also laughing, and knew what he was thinking, and laughed too.

"What's the matter, we're chatting so happily, the meals are ready, it's time to eat." Ah Huai opened the door and saw that everyone was laughing, and he laughed too.

A table full of dishes made the little dumb worried, why are there so many chili peppers, the old blind man doesn't care, after all, he is well-informed and can eat spicy.

Looking at the embarrassed appearance of the little mute sweating profusely and drinking water, Ah Huai laughed and said, "I forgot to tell you, our people here are very spicy." ”

The scholar kept toasting to the old blind man, the old blind man drank like drinking water, and soon the scholar was already drunk, and he shouted excitedly: "I, Gu Zize, must become a world-famous scholar, help this common man, so that everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, and show their abilities!" ”

When the old blind man heard the scholar's rhetoric, as if he remembered the young man he had met when he was young, he just smiled, shook his head gently, and drank wine.

It seems that I'm really old, I always think of my youth, and I really envy young people when they talk about the future, always with hope.

The little mute drank tea, and was also driven by this atmosphere, and raised his glass to the scholar and Ah Huai, thanking them for their hospitality today.

This meal was eaten by the host and the guests.

The next day, the old blind man and the little mute packed their bags early, prepared to be their masters, and continued on their way.

Unexpectedly, the scholar also took his bags and went on the road together, saying that he heard the words of the old blind man yesterday and decided to go on a long trip.

The old blind man said to the scholar: "Don't lose the people in front of you! ”

"If one day I reach the water stop realm, I will definitely come back to help Ah Huai regain his free body, if not, I will come back to accompany Ah Huai for the rest of my life." The scholar made an oath. Cultivators can't swear at will, follow the law, and the way of heaven will be practiced.

Ah Huai blushed, and kept admonishing: "Remember to be careful on the road, learn more from the old-timers, take care of Xiaorun more, and remember to go home." ”

The scholar took her hand and said, "I'll come back every once in a while." ”

Ah Huai raised his head and smiled brightly: "Let's go, don't let them wait for a long time." ”

The scholar turned around and walked out, walking side by side with the master and apprentice. The moment he stepped out of the house, his body was majestic, the weather was tumbling, and he had already entered the state of grandeur.

The old blind man laughed: "Young and vigorous! ”
