Talk late into the night.

The four-eyed master shook the bell and left Yizhuang with a group of Qing Dynasty customers.

Qiusheng rides his stylish plus bar bike to his aunt's house for the night.

And Uncle Nine instructed the homeless Wencai to clean up a room for Meng Fan, the senior brother.

In fact, Meng Fan just asked for a rattan bed, not a quilt or mattress, and decided to meditate until dawn.

……

The sun is rising.

In the room, Meng Fan slowly opened his eyes.

Energetic and energetic.

The benefits of monasticism are evident.

Immediately after that, he practiced the body forging technique for about a quarter of an hour, and then he took his clothes and toiletries and went to the simple bathroom.

In this era, there are no toiletries in the conventional sense, at least not in ordinary people's homes.

However, there are tooth powder with various herbs, a simple version of shampoo boiled with honey locust meat bubbles, and bath beans made with plant ash, pulp water, soap horn, minced beans, peach blossoms, cloves, green wood incense and other flowers and spices.

Not much.

The refreshed Meng Fan walked out and changed into the clothes of the ninth uncle, according to the uncle, this is the clothes he wore during the New Year, and after only wearing it for one day, he washed it and put it away-

A blue-blue robe with a delicate grape pattern on it, a red horse coat inside, and a traditional hat with green jade.

"Well, there is a squire style of the Republic of China."

Looking at the mirror, Meng Fan nodded with satisfaction, he quite liked this kind of appearance.

In later generations, this kind of clothing is a real luxury, which requires manpower, time, and special craftsmanship, which are destined to be expensive.

"Xiao Fan."

Uncle Nine walked out of the room while getting dressed, and said hello to Meng Fan.

"Uncle Shi is early."

"Well, Wencai, this stinky boy hasn't gotten up yet, I'll ask him to cook breakfast."

"No, no, we talked until late last night, and my junior brother has only slept for three hours now, let him continue to rest."

Meng Fan smiled: "I'll cook rice porridge." ”

"There are red dates and longan in the small jar."

Uncle Nine informed.

At home, Amin cooks, Meng Fan is responsible for eating, but now he is temporarily living in his uncle's house, and he always has to be diligent and fast, and at the moment, he is not too embarrassed to trouble his junior brother Wencai, after all, he has not yet entered the Tao, and he must recuperate his mind through sufficient sleep.

Thanks to steaming rice and cooking porridge, it is not a technical job, boiling water, putting rice, adding some longan and red dates, and serving with pickled side dishes in advance.

The two ate with relish.

Seeing that his nephew drank eight bowls in a row, combined with the scene of him easily suppressing zombies with his bare hands yesterday, Uncle Nine also knew that Meng Fan had practiced what exercises to enhance his physique, and he couldn't help but be a little envious of Senior Brother Qianhe.

Because of this point in time, their own apprentices are still sleeping.

"Today, a rich squire in the town invited me to come over to talk about things, and I made an appointment at a place to drink foreign tea, do you have time to accompany me?"

Foreign tea?

Isn't it just a café?

Thinking about what happened in the movie, Meng Fan felt that the so-called twists and turns were actually quite simple, that is, Wen Cai stared at Ren Tingting and said a few words about Meng Lang, which made people unhappy.

Therefore, Ren Tingting deliberately teased and drank unsweetened coffee, leading Shi Bo to imitate.

The solution is also very easy, reminding Uncle Nine of two sentences, one is to remember to add milk and sugar when drinking coffee, and the other is not to add egg tarts, because it is very sweet, and it will feel excessively sweet and greasy after adding it.

However, since the master and uncle have talked about this, no one with a little emotional intelligence will refuse.

"Yes."

Meng Fan nodded and said, "Uncle Shi, when will you leave?" ”

"It's half past nine, let's leave at nine o'clock."

"Okay, I'll go wash your clothes first, where are your clothes?"

Hearing this, Uncle Nine directly refused: .

"Hey, it's a guest from afar, don't bother yourself, just let Wencai wash it."

There was non-negotiability in his tone.

Wencai is homeless, and Uncle Jiu teaches him skills, provides him with food and clothing, and cooks for the master and laundry, which is his due righteousness.

But Meng Fan was still not used to asking his junior brother to help, so he simply washed the dishes quickly, found a basin by himself, and cleaned the clothes that had not been changed for three days.

Everything was seen by Uncle Jiu, and at the same time, there was a fatal snort from Wencai in the side hall.

So, when he got up, he saw Master Tieqing's face, and raised his eyes to look at the sky, and the sun had risen very high.

immediately understood what was going on, smiled honestly, didn't care about eating, snatched the tools for feeding the chickens from Uncle Nine's hand, and began to help.

"Go wash up, change into clean clothes, and take you to drink foreign tea for the teacher."

"No, no, no......"

Wen Cai kept shaking his head.

"It's just a matter of getting to know it, let's go, I'm used to eating Chinese food, and occasionally change my taste."

Meng Fan, who was reading the "Maoshan Evil Governance Secret Book" in the courtyard, spoke.

"Your senior brother is right, I have never drunk foreign tea in my life, and I am also very curious about this foreign thing."

Uncle Nine's face was slightly pale.

Seeing them say this, Wen Cai, who had just finished feeding the chickens, immediately put down the feed bucket and went to wash and change clothes.

……

With Meng Fan here, there were no such moths on this trip, Uncle Nine talked to Master Ren, Meng Fan listened quietly, and Senior Brother Wencai stared at Ren Tingting and was stupid.

Halfway through, talking about English pretending to be forked, or talking about such things as stealing the limelight, Meng Fan didn't touch it, it was too cliché, and it was too tasteless.

On the contrary, Ren Tingting was surprised by his study abroad, according to the superficial understanding of the world's labeling:

The Taoist represents feudalism.

Going abroad represents progress.

Curious, this rich daughter asked a few sensitive questions, thanks to Meng Fanqi's good temper, although the words were short, but he answered very seriously.

Is there a god in the world?

Yes.

Why did you run to monasticism when you were young?

Subdue demons and eliminate demons, and live long.

How does science explain it?

……

In the end, Uncle Shi said: "If you believe, you will have, and if you don't believe, you will not." Taoist people respect heaven and earth and all souls, do not do things that violate laws and disciplines, and violate human ethics, some hang pots to help the world, some subdue demons and eliminate demons, and some help the poor, and will not force others to believe. ”

"The girl doesn't have to ask any more questions."

The Tao is different, not conspiring with each other, but also according to its own will.

Master Ren also spoke.

This is the end of the meaningless questioning.

As Uncle Nine said, Meng Fan never discussed these issues with outsiders, let alone felt that there was an antagonistic relationship between science and cultivation.

As for the desire for immortality?

Big truth, not pretentious.

Lao Tzu said: "From birth to death, there are three out of ten living disciples, three out of ten dead disciples, and three out of ten people are born and moving." ”

"The Book of Saving People" clouds: "Immortals are noble, and there is no measure of people." ”

For every orthodox Taoist, they hope to achieve immortality through self-cultivation.

Even if you can't reach this supreme realm, you must be reborn, reborn, and happy, and raise your own state of mind to the realm of immortals.
