Chapter 56: Into the Mountain to Mourn
When Lu Yangsheng left the patriarch's house and walked back to his small thatched hut in the streets and alleys, he did not dodge around as before, but held the food box in both hands, walking on the main road of the town in the open and honest, and there were many passers-by, although he didn't know why Lu Yangsheng was so mourned, he was still dodging Lu Yangsheng, and his expression was full of disgust, but this time no one dared to throw stones at Lu Yangsheng and spit on him.
A person who wears linen and wears filial piety is called a filial son in a small town. The filial son is mourned, all ghosts are avoided, and all evils are not invaded. This is filial piety.
Dressed in mourning clothes, Lu Yangsheng didn't go too fast, just like the patriarch dressed Lu Yangsheng at his house, Lu Yangsheng also needed to show this mourning clothes to some people through the right opportunity, so that the plan could be carried out perfectly enough to avoid some possible troubles.
In this way, Lu Yangsheng was not in a hurry, and it took nearly a stick of incense to walk to his small hut, and after entering the courtyard, Lu Yangsheng breathed a sigh of relief, came to the house with the food box, and shouted twice into the house.
"Chief Jiang, come out for a moment."
As soon as Lu Yangsheng finished shouting, an angry voice came from the house, and then Jiang Guining rushed out with a face full of anger.
"What are you shouting? Don't you know that Xiaodao is practicing? Lu Yangsheng, you kid again, how many times have I told you, there is no trivial matter on the road of cultivation, the most taboo is yelling, acting recklessly, breaking the trail My practice, in case something happens, the trail is a dead end. Say, are you trying to murder me? ”
Seeing that Jiang Guining's face was flushed with anger, Lu Yangsheng remembered what Jiang Guining said not long ago, and was immediately speechless, and hurriedly apologized.
Regarding Lu Yangsheng's apology, Jiang Guining didn't intend to ignore it, and was about to continue scolding when he raised his arms, but a burst of meaty fragrance hit his nose, so Jiang Guining couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
The smell of meat in his nose made Jiang Gui Ning smile happily, and the dark clouds on his face immediately turned clear, and his eyes showed a pair of crescents when he smiled.
"Oh, it's so fragrant, it turns out that you are shouting to eat meat, why didn't you say it earlier, did you regret it in the morning? It's Xiaodao who doesn't know the hearts of good people, he should be punished, it's really fragrant, and let Xiaodao go and get wine, let's have a good meal, and then talk about the apprenticeship on behalf of the teacher. ”
Lu Yangsheng knew that something was wrong when he saw the Taoist priest's eyeliner transferred to the food box in his hand, and before he could explain, Jiang Guining had already finished speaking, and he had to turn around and go back to the house to get the wine, if the wine was brought over but he was told that the food was not brought to him, he still had to complain to death? So without waiting for Jiang Guining to turn around, Lu Yangsheng hurriedly stretched out a hand and grabbed Lu Yangsheng's robe.
The robe was pulled, Jiang Guining turned around in confusion, and before he could ask a question, he heard Jiang Guining's quick explanation.
"Dao Chief, you misunderstood, this meal is not for you, this is the tribute I need to bring to people to mourn, and I can't give it to you. I'm coming back this time to tell you that I'm going to hold a funeral vigil, and I won't be able to go home for the next few days, so you have to cook for yourself. There is a lot of food at home, you can save some food, enough for you to eat until I come back......"
Lu Yangsheng seemed to be afraid that he would go berserk before he finished speaking, so he spoke quickly, and said the matter almost in one breath, this round of language bombardment directly made Jiang Guining stunned on the spot, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
When Jiang Guining finally came back to his senses, he looked at Lu Yangsheng blankly, and asked with some uncertainty: "That means that your kid is going to leave Xiaodao alone again?" And then this time, not only do you ignore the trail, but you also have to go to eat delicious food by yourself with the trail on your back? ”
Lu Yangsheng's expression was serious, and he corrected Jiang Guining: "Daoist, what you said is not right, I didn't leave you alone, I left you food, you just need to do it yourself, and I didn't go behind your back to eat delicious food, I'm telling you now." Besides, I don't have anything to eat. ”
Hearing Lu Yangsheng say this, Jiang Guining's eyes were about to erupt with fire, pointing to the food box Lu Yangsheng was holding and shouting loudly: "There is nothing delicious? So what are you holding? Xiaodao smells out, if there is no roast duck in this box, Xiaodao will have your surname. Xiaodao is a cultivator in the Hidden Source Realm, and it is absolutely impossible to smell wrong. ”
Jiang Guining's words made Lu Yangsheng speechless, and you are practicing just to smell this? How do you feel like a dog? If you practice to the end like Jiang Guining, why do you feel so down?
Lu Yangsheng muttered to himself in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it. Looking at Jiang Guining's resentment on his face, as well as the posture of being ready to pounce at any time, he was so frightened that he quickly moved the food box in his hand back. If it weren't for the town's regulations that food boxes and tributes could not be landed before they were tributed, Lu Yangsheng would have put the food boxes outside the courtyard a long time ago.
As Jiang Guining's mouth became more and more saliva, Lu Yangsheng hurriedly opened his mouth to dissuade him, and put on a posture, planning to run away at any time.
"Dao Chief, calm down, the contents of the food box are for use on the grave, and they really can't be eaten for you. If you're really hungry, go and cook some food by yourself, and I'm going to keep filial piety. ”
After the matter was finished, Lu Yangsheng quickly turned around and walked outside the courtyard. But before he could take two steps, he was grabbed by the collar. The collar was caught again, Lu Yangsheng muttered to himself, why do you like to grab people's collars, who will pay if you tear it up.
"I was angry and greedy just now, but I didn't see it, boy, what's the matter with you? Why did you go out and change into mourning clothes, and still have to mourn people? What's the matter, can your town still make money by pretending to be a filial son and grandson? Let's talk to Xiaodao, if you really can, Xiaodao can also go. Tell you, Xiaodao cries very similarly, and his voice is loud. ”
Lu Yangsheng didn't turn his head, but he heard Jiang Guining's voice coming from behind him, and he was speechless. Who will ask someone to cry and mourn after the death of their parents, isn't that sick? If there really is such a disobedient child, can the old people live in peace?
took a step forward and signaled Jiang Guining to let go quickly, but the big hand behind him not only did not move, but also dragged it back, which had the meaning of tug-of-war with Lu Yangsheng's collar. Lu Yangsheng felt sorry for his clothes, so he could only stop, and turned to face Jiang Guining helplessly.
"Don't be kidding, you've been in the town for so many days, you should know that there are dead people in the town, right?"
Jiang Guining nodded, and then glanced at Lu Yangsheng strangely: "I know, Xiaodao also went to mix a meal, what's wrong?" Could it be that someone is yours who has died? Then why didn't you kid attend the funeral? ”
Lu Yangsheng first shook his head, then nodded again, and said to Jiang Guining, who was puzzled: "It's not my own relatives, but it's my elder, he asked me to keep filial piety for him before he died, and I agreed." ”
Speaking of this, Lu Yangsheng was a little depressed, and his voice was much quieter.
didn't seem to notice Lu Yangsheng's mood, Jiang Guining touched his chin and said shyly: "So that's the case, little brother, you see how bad it is for you to go to the cemetery alone to guard your filial piety, don't be afraid at night?" Why don't Xiaodao go with you, you see Xiaodao I am a Taoist, and I feel more secure with you all the way. ”
Jiang Guining's words were righteous and awe-inspiring, it would have been better if his two eyes hadn't looked at the food box.
Lu Yangsheng knew what Jiang Guining was thinking, so he said angrily: "Dao Chief, you are still at home, I am also a cultivator, and I will not be afraid." ”
Jiang Guining was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Don't mind, let me tell you, demons and monsters are very dangerous, with your half-hung sense source realm, it is easy to be in danger of life, and besides, do you know how to draw talismans?" Will you slay demons and exorcise demons? Can you mobilize the aura in your body? Can't you, right? So, it's definitely worth the price with you. And the sensory source environment ...... Hey? ”
Jiang Guining was still anxiously persuading Lu Yangsheng, but in the end, he suddenly let out a shock, his face suddenly became serious, and he said to Lu Yangsheng seriously: "Little brother, have you broken through?" ”
Lu Yangsheng thought that Jiang Guining was playing some kind of moth again, so he ignored him, turned around and was about to go out, but Jiang Guining walked in front of him in three steps and two steps.
was stopped by Jiang Guining again, Lu Yangsheng was a little annoyed that this Taoist priest was too uninteresting, and he was already in a bad mood, so he was already a little angry in his words.
"Dao Chief, I'm really in trouble, can you make trouble without reason? It's troublesome to delay entering the mountain. ”
Jiang Guining ignored Lu Yangsheng's anger, stretched out a hand, condensed the aura, put it on Lu Yangsheng's shoulder, took it back after a while, and then looked at Lu Yangsheng and said, "Sure enough."
When he first saw Jiang Guining's palm condensing aura, Lu Yangsheng was startled, thinking that this Taoist priest was annoyed and angry and planned to rob it, but he didn't feel Jiang Guining's hostility, so he forcibly stopped his retreat.
When Jiang Guining withdrew his hand, Lu Yangsheng was relieved to see that nothing had happened. Then I heard Jiang Guining say.
"Boy, you're such a freak, you actually broke through the last five days of retreat, tsk, you're so lucky."
Jiang Guining's tone was sour when he said this, looking at Lu Yangsheng's eyes with envy and three points of jealousy, he saw that Lu Yangsheng was uncomfortable.
Unsure if what Jiang Guining said was what he thought, Lu Yangsheng asked tentatively, "Dao Chief, what do you mean by breakthrough?" ”
Jiang Gui glared at Lu Yangsheng, and said angrily: "It's nothing, that is, your kid is no longer a rookie in the Senses Source Realm now, congratulations, you have made a breakthrough in cultivation, and you have stepped into the Nayuan Realm, and there is only one realm left from the trail." ”
When he said this, Jiang Guining's face was full of jealousy.
Breakthrough? Nayuan Realm? Although Lu Yangsheng did feel that he was a little different after this practice, he didn't expect that he had broken through, so he asked Jiang Guining with some uncertainty.
"Dao Chief, are you mistaken?"
When Jiang Guining heard Lu Yangsheng say this, he completely broke out.
"Did you kid do it on purpose? Well? Xiaodao was stuck in the Sense Source Realm for nearly a year before he was lucky enough to step into the Nayuan Realm, but as a result, your kid broke through after five days of retreat? I'm so angry. ”
Looking at Jiang Guining, who was a little crazy with jealousy, Lu Yangsheng swallowed his saliva, decided to ignore this person anymore, turned around and walked outside the house.
"Stop, kid."
Lu Yangsheng thought very well, but before he could take two steps, he was stopped by Jiang Guining again.
"Boy, don't run in a hurry, let me tell you, you can't take me with you this time."
Without waiting for Lu Yangsheng to speak, Jiang Guining hurriedly explained,
"You listen to the trail first. Let me tell you, it's really not that Xiaodao is hungry for your snacks, Xiaodao follows it for your good. ”
When Lu Yangsheng heard him say this, he had no choice but to turn his head and face Jiang Guining, intending to hear what he had to say.
Jiang Guining watched Lu Yangsheng turn his head to face him, nodded with satisfaction, and then said.
"Cultivation is like building a house, the first realm of this land is the foundation, if the foundation is not laid, you have to build a house, what do you think will be the result?"
Lu Yangsheng's face changed slightly, and he said uncertainly: "Will the house collapse?" ”
Jiang Guining looked serious, put his hands behind his back, like a master in the world, and nodded slightly.
"If you only practice to the second and third realms, you naturally don't have to worry about whether the foundation is not solid, but if you climb up, it will be difficult. Little brother, I see that you are not very down-to-earth in the realm of the source realm, why did you enter the second realm so quickly? This is not good, your foundation is too loose, and it will be difficult to walk the path of cultivation in the future. ”
His family knows his own affairs, and when Lu Yangsheng heard Jiang Guining say this, he immediately knew what the problem was. His sense source realm was forcibly broken by Win Xingxuan, and the second realm was stepped into by Lu Yangsheng in a daze, and even he didn't know how to break through, there was a difference of a few days between them, and the foundation would definitely not be solid.
Seeing that Lu Yangsheng's face was ugly and he didn't speak, Jiang Guining continued to strike while the iron was hot.
"Therefore, the main thing you need to do now is to find a way to lay the foundation a little more porcelain, so that you can walk the path of cultivation better in the future. That is, you have just broken through now, and you are still saved, otherwise, if it is a few days later, you will wait to cry in the future. ”
When Lu Yangsheng heard Jiang Guining say this, he looked at him suspiciously, and asked uncertainly, "Do you have a way?" ”
Jiang Guining nodded with a smile and replied with a smile.
"Yes, the trail just has a way, how about it, isn't it okay to take the trail now?"
"Why do you want to help me?"
Lu Yangsheng was not happy that Jiang Guining had a way to save his realm, but with a serious face, he finally asked this question that had been bothering him for a long time.
Jiang Guining was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "What's the reason for this, are you still unhappy if someone helps you?" The trail is hot, and it is known as a chivalrous spirit, isn't it? ”
Lu Yangsheng shook his head with an ugly face and did not speak.
Jiang Guining stretched, glanced at Lu Yangsheng with a smile, and said such a sentence.
"Boy, although I don't know why, I can feel your hostility towards me, this is normal, if you don't have this vigilance, stepping into the path of cultivation is only a dead end. But, boy, remember, the path of cultivation is full of difficulties, and it is good to be vigilant, but if you give up the opportunity to improve your cultivation because of this, then you will only be able to wander at the bottom for the rest of your life, just like you are in a small town now. ”
After hearing this, Lu Yangsheng's heart trembled, as if he had an understanding, and after thinking about it carefully, he respectfully bowed and said, "Be taught." ”
Hearing Lu Yangsheng say this, Jiang Guining's hard-to-pretend demeanor immediately broke through, and smiled like an old fox who stole a chicken to eat, and asked happily, "How is it?" Do you want to take Xiaodao to the funeral together? ”
Looking at Jiang Guining with such a face, Lu Yangsheng really couldn't connect him with Jiang Guining just now, he didn't know which one was the real Jiang Guining.
Although Lu Yangsheng was still very wary of Jiang Guining, Lu Yangsheng still listened to his words, nodded at Jiang Guining, who was looking at him pitifully, and signaled that they could go together.
Seeing that Lu Yangsheng agreed, Jiang Guining immediately smiled, said wait a while, and hurriedly went back to the house to pack his things.
After a while, Jiang Guining cleaned up, and he was still dressed as a Taoist with a wine pot on his waist, a wooden sword on his back, and a Taoist robe.
In a small courtyard, one person wears a Taoist robe, and the other wears linen and filial piety, this scene is really a bit funny.
