Chapter 86: I don't know if I'm a guest in my dream
Great Zhou Kingdom, Jingshi, Baiyun Temple.
Under the pine tree in front of the Taoist house, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young Taoist priest was holding a face-shaving knife and was trimming a middle-aged Taoist.
The middle-aged Taoist was born with a square face and a broad mouth, a bulging forehead, and extremely hairy hair, and his eyes were slightly closed at the moment, and he had a bit of an aura of not being angry and arrogant.
The young Taoist priest's eyebrows and eyes were very thoughtful, and his eyes were very bright, and his eyes were even more focused at this time, with a serious and calm expression.
The razor in his hand was as thin as a cicada's wings, sharp and shiny.
In the flicker of the knife, the messy hair and hairs on the middle-aged Taoist's face fell one after another, and the whole face obviously became much neater and shinier.
When the young Taoist priest finished his work, the Taoist opened his eyes unsatisfied, smiled and praised: "Moving the knife is like flying, so wonderful, your skill of tidying up your appearance has won the true inheritance of Luo Zhenren, no wonder you don't call your Taoist name inside and outside, but call you Master Xiao Luo."
The young Taoist priest did not rush to answer, but meticulously cleaned up the razor and put it into a leather box hanging from his waist.
The middle-aged Taoist glanced at it, and saw that in addition to the shaving knife that had just been put in, there were obviously several different styles of knives and other tools in the small leather box.
The young Taoist priest carefully fastened the lid of the box, and then raised his head and smiled shyly: "The real person of the Lord has praised it! Luo Gong once rectified the dragon face of the two lords of the previous dynasty, and was awarded the title of "Indifferent Shou Zhenren", but I have served by his side for two years, and I have learned a point or two under the influence of my ears and eyes, and I will never dare to call myself the successor of Luo Gong."
The Lord of Baiyun Temple shook his head, pointed to the leather box on the young Taoist priest's waist and said with a smile: "You don't need to be presumptuous, Luo Zhenren deliberately left this set of tools that he pioneered to you before he feathered, isn't it just to pass on the mantle to you?"
The young Taoist priest smiled humbly: "Luo Gong is a person with great magical powers, where can I call the mantle of shaving my head and shaving my face this little way I learned?"
"Hah! Although it is a hair skill, it is a top skill!"
Baiyunguan was obviously in a good mood after majoring in the face, and he was quite a bit instructive: "Luo Zhenren's rectification of Longyan is already an old thing in the previous dynasty. The Great Zhou is new, and the weather is new. In my opinion, the day when your master Xiao Luo was ordered by the king to enter the palace and accompany Luan to drive and be called a deacon is not far off!"
Before he finished speaking, a little Taoist priest who was only eight or nine years old ran into the courtyard and said breathlessly, "Master! There are two chamberlains in the palace, and they want to pass on Master Xiaoluo!"
The Lord of Baiyun Temple only mentioned this matter, and he didn't want someone to come to the palace, so he was surprised and amused, turned his head to look at Master Xiao Luo, who no one remembered the Taoist number, and said with a smile: "What did you say? I'm here to say hello first! When I see the face of the lord of the country this time, I must be on the rise!"
After saying that, the Lord of Baiyun Temple suddenly shook his head again, and sighed: "It's a pity that you have Luo Zhenren as a teacher, and I am not good at taking away disciples.
Before his words fell, the little Taoist priest who reported the news hurriedly shook his head and corrected: "Master, the one who wants to see Master Xiao Luo is not the lord of the country, but the son of the world!"
"Shizi?"
The Lord of Baiyun Temple was stunned when he heard this, and immediately frowned, and said in confusion: "The prince has always been humble and polite, and he is not public, how could he suddenly recruit people from outside the palace to serve?"
Where could the little Taoist priest who reported the news answer, and immediately shook his head again.
The young Taoist priest seemed to have nothing to do with him, and his expression was always flat.
He briefly sorted out his appearance, and then said goodbye to the Lord of Baiyun Temple: "The Lord of the Views is a real person, since it is the prince of the world, I can't delay, so I will go to the palace."
"It's okay, although the prince is gentle, he is also a nobleman in the palace and the prince of the country, and there must be no slackness, you can go quickly!"
The Lord of Baiyun Temple urged, stood in place and quietly watched the back of the young Taoist priest walk away, and a trace of gold suddenly flashed in his eyes: "Hmph! The shit of the indifferent Shouichi! I don't know what this kid is capable of, but he has learned Luo Laodao's hypocrisy and pretentiousness very much!"
The little Taoist priest on the side heard his master's dislike, and looked up in confusion and asked, "Master, Master Xiao Luo has been in our temple for several years, and everyone likes it, how can you ......?"
"You know what!"
The master of Baiyun Temple interrupted the apprentice's questioning, and his face suddenly became a little solemn: "Sharpen your beard, and try to be sharp!" If this vein regains momentum, the Great Zhou Kingdom is afraid that it will be troublesome from now on!"
Not to mention how the two masters and apprentices of Baiyunguan talked behind their backs, the young Taoist priest walked out of the Taoist temple and saw an ox cart parked outside the door, and it was a majestic white cow pulling the cart.
This white cow is not fur, but fine frost-white scales, and occasionally a mouth is full of sharp steel teeth, obviously not a vegetarian. Z.br>
The two palace attendants were standing in front of the car waiting, and when they saw the young Taoist priest coming out of the door, they all showed smiling faces, and one of them walked quickly, took the initiative to greet him, and asked first, "But Xiao Luo Zhenren?"
This chamberlain is already a few years old, and he is quite dignified, and his words and deeds are by no means eunuch-like feminine, and he has a long beard several inches long on each cheek, all of which are windless and automatic, floating in the air.
The young Taoist priest was stunned when he saw this, it was unusual to be able to keep these two long beards, there were not many palaces in the Great Zhou, and the status was naturally extremely high.
It is said that the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty is humble, and in addition to having a pair of long beards, the person in front of him is wearing the most ordinary internal service clothes, which shows that there must be a servant with his master, and there is no doubt that he is a close confidant of the prince.
Seeing that he was stunned, the long-bearded waiter's face showed a little impatience.
The young Taoist priest came back to his senses, with a flattered look on his face, and replied: "Poor morality is shallow, how dare you pretend to be a real person, the long beard is called me Xiao Luo!" Why don't the two of you come to the temple to use tea, but wait here? It really tormented me!"
The long-bearded waiter put away his smile and shook his head, "The palace is in a hurry, where am I still in the mood to sit and drink tea!" Xiao Luo ...... Master, let's go!"
Hearing this, the young Taoist priest became more and more suspicious in his heart, but his face did not show it at all, and he immediately nodded and said, "Since he is so eager, the poor Taoist will be presumptuous, and he will not discuss those false courtesies with the long beard."
"That's how it should be!"
The long-bearded waiter responded, and immediately led the young Taoist priest into the carriage, and another white-faced and beardless waiter went to act as a royal hand.
With the sound of the whip, the snow mantis beast flew away with its hooves and smoke, dragging the carriage away.
The young Taoist priest sat in the car, seeing the scenery outside the window changing rapidly, but he didn't feel the slightest bump, and his eyes couldn't help but flash with surprise.
The long-bearded inner attendant has a strong eye, and at this time he has already received the main master, and he is not as urgent as before, and finally has the mood to say a few gossips: "At the beginning of the year, the Fubo army broke the combined army of the mermaids and the Di people in the North Sea, and captured a lot after the war, including this unusual and flying snow mantis beast."
"It is said that this kind of beast is rare even in the North Sea, and only the leaders of the Shark and Di clans are eligible for it. Last month, Marquis Yuan led the army to triumph, and selected the best 300 heads to be presented to Ouchi. The lord of the country is overjoyed, and he has given the nobles in the palace, the relatives of the clan, and the members of the second rank and above with the snow mantis beast, and there are dozens of them in our womb alone."
The long-bearded waiter paused, as if he felt that his previous words were suspected of showing off, and added: "Thanks to the prosperity of my Great Zhou Dynasty, the prestige of the country, and the Fubo army of Marquis Yuan, we can break through the Northern Barbarians, sweep away the border wilderness, and bring back so many good things at once!"
The young Taoist priest nodded and smiled: "This matter has been spread all over the world, and it is said that now the powerful people in Beijing are proud of riding the snow leech car, and the poor Taoist has also seen it from afar, but it is really the first time to ride it in person!"
He immediately bowed his hand in the direction of Ouchi: "The grace of the lord of the country, the benevolence of the son, and the five inner senses of the poor road!"
Seeing this, a smile also appeared on the face of the long-bearded chamberlain: "Master Xiao Luo is a clever person! If you go to the palace this time, at least you won't lose your life easily, so our family will be relieved!"
The young Taoist priest was shocked when he heard this: "Why did the long-bearded prince say this?"
