Chapter 579: Revisiting the Old Land (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Where is the gentleman from?"
"Back to the official master, he is a Taoist from Yizhou, and he has returned from traveling."
"Returning from a trip? Where do you practice? ”
"Yin Yang Mountain, Lingquan County."
"Lingquan County Yinyang Mountain ......"
The Defending City Military Academy frowned and repeated: "I haven't met a Taoist from here......"
"Little Taoist Temple, there are few people." The Taoist was very polite, and as he spoke, he took out the degree from his arms and presented it with both hands, "There is a degree of proof of it." ”
"Oh yes......"
The Defending Military Academy couldn't help but snort softly.
The excerpt-style degree is specially issued by the government to those who have the true way, true skills, or the main inheritors of well-known palaces and temples, so as to explain their special status, skills and treatment. Even because this degree can be passed down from generation to generation in many cases, it has been more or less flooded in recent years, and the gold content has decreased slightly, but after all, it is still rare.
In addition, this Taoist said that he was only from a small Taoist temple, so even if he did not have the true Tao and true skills, his master and ancestor must have produced such a true master.
And looking at the appearance of this person, I'm afraid it's not simple.
In these days, there is a need for cultivators who have the true path to practice.
The military academy defending the city did not dare to slack off, and after a little inspection, and after confirming that Du Mu was real, he made a gesture of please.
"Masters, please come into the city!"
"Masters don't dare to be." The Taoist smiled, "It's just that the inspection at the city gate seems to be stricter than before." ”
"Stricter than before? The last time that gentleman came here must have been a few years ago, right? At least four or five years ago. The military academy defending the city handed him back, holding the spear and looking him up and down, "I see that Mr. looks quite young, but I can't see that it is quite early to go down the mountain." ”
"Indeed."
"Alas......"
The military academy defending the city sighed, turned his neck to rest for a while, and just chatted with him: "That gentleman doesn't know, somehow, since a few years ago, there have been more demons and monsters in the mountains outside the city inexplicably, and there are not many people who hurt people, but there are often greedy for prosperity and want to mix into the city to have fun, now it's still early, if it's late, the inventory is stricter, and the sky is a little darker, we have to close the city gate, much earlier than before." ”
"Is that ......?"
"Not really. In addition, since the rebellion of King Wenhan in the west two years ago, there are often homeless people in the west, the world is chaotic, people's hearts are unstable, and there are more thieves, so it is natural to investigate strictly. ”
"King Wen Han is a good soil emperor, what kind of rebellion will he make?"
“……”
The expression of the military academy defending the city suddenly changed slightly, and immediately said: "Who knows about this kind of thing......
The expression is clearly saying: Who dares to say such a thing?
"Sir, go into the city."
"Got in the way, thanks Captain."
Song You then walked to the city with a bamboo cane.
This kind of "Jindumu" can take followers with disciples.
Sanhua Niangniang also followed the Taoist into the city, but the cat was curious, and kept looking back at the military school, her eyes were bright and smart, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
The horses' hooves rattled on the stone pavement.
Immediately, a few tooth men, rough men and half-grown teenagers gathered and asked them if they wanted to lead the way, if they wanted to rent a car and work hard.
It's just that when they saw that this was a Taoist, and the Daoist robe was visibly old and white, when the Taoist shook his head and refused, they immediately turned around and went back, not pestering others like they did.
The ears are bustling, and they are all country sounds.
“……”
An inexplicably familiar feeling came to my heart, which made people sigh and couldn't help but feel a little unspeakably moved.
Yidu City seems to be the same as it was, and it seems to have changed a little, and I can't say it, probably because the memory of thirteen years ago has become blurred.
It's hard to say.
"Daoist, do we still live in the same house?" The girl turned to look at the Taoist, "That ghost house." ”
"Definitely not." "But we can go and see." ”
"Check it out!"
"yes, go back and see."
"And where do we live?"
"You can stay at the guest house."
"Oh......"
The little girl nodded, a little disappointed.
But that's all it had to be.
The Western Regions is in the northwest of Yizhou, Xingzhou is also in the northwest of Yizhou, from Xingzhou, it is from north to south, the Taoist passes through the north city gate, and after coming in, it is the north city.
It's not far from the original courtyard.
It is also an area familiar to Taoists.
Yidu is prosperous, and there are many hotels and inns.
The Taoist wants to find a small courtyard closer to the original courtyard, not every day to go back to see, but to live there for half a year, the whole area is familiar enough - since it is a revisit to the old place, it is natural to be closer to the old place, so in and out, every step is to pick up the original memories.
It should be a lot of fun.
Unexpectedly, he didn't find a suitable inn, but walked through the familiar alley first.
The alley is not wide or narrow, it is very quiet, there is a big tree in the middle, and there are stone tables and stone benches under the big tree for people to enjoy the shade, which is a relatively old public facility. On both sides of the alley are some small houses, not a big family in Zhumen but not a poor family, often people plant trees in the courtyard, in the middle of summer, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, and the branches and leaves stretch out from the top of the courtyard wall.
The girl was the first to stop, turned her head and stared at the alley in a daze, and reached out to grab the clothes of the Taoist next to her, and gently pulled it.
“……”
The Taoist turned his head to look at her.
The girl also looked at the Taoist and looked at him.
"Let's go."
The Taoist saw what she meant and walked forward.
The jujube red horse immediately followed.
There was the sound of horses' hooves in the clean alleys.
Some of the gloomy and cold air in the alley has completely disappeared, and the alley is as hot as other places, and there are people coming in and out, and some people sitting on stone benches under the trees to enjoy the shade.
Only under the trees is a little cooler.
The Taoist turned his head and looked at the pedestrians, often with a sense of familiarity, walking under the big tree, the old man who enjoyed the shade often gave him a sense of familiarity, but the people of this year are aging fast, and the changes are serious, and the dealings that have been played at the beginning are probably not much, and it is difficult to connect with the memories for a while.
I saw Lao Suo sitting under the tree, either playing chess, watching from the sidelines, or sitting next to him fanning the fan and chatting, and some children ran around them and played wildly, with a sharp and piercing voice.
It's a pity that there are no old people telling stories to children.
Maybe the story has already been told, or maybe it won't start until dusk.
Otherwise, the Taoist may still be able to hear his own story.
Walking past this big tree, it was once a small courtyard.
The door of the small courtyard was closed, and the red paint on the door had already faded and turned old, but now it seemed to be getting more and more serious, and there was no yin and ghost qi in it, but the sound of people walking.
There was also the sound of children running and shouting.
It seems that there are already people living there.
The girl looked up at Song You.
The two looked at each other again.
Both sides saw each other's thoughts.
Just then, someone came behind him.
It was a middle-aged man who was fat and strong, with a smell of pork on his body, and walked behind the Taoist and walked to the door of the small courtyard, while looking back at the Taoist with a frown.
The man tapped on the door.
"Bang bang."
"I'm back, open the door for me."
After saying this to the inside, the man turned his head again, frowned at the Taoist and the girl at the door, and the jujube red horse without a rein behind him, and couldn't help but ask, "Sir, what do you mean by this?" To keep an eye on my door, but what's the difference? Isn't there some yin and evil qi in the courtyard, and you want me to pay some money to eliminate it? ”
The tone was a little unpolite, but it was also deliberately suppressed.
As soon as Song You heard it, he knew what was going on.
At first, the haunting of this courtyard spread far and wide, and the nearby residents knew about it, but after the haunting subsided, some people moved in, and most of the folk gentlemen and charlatans came to intimidate the family and defraud the family of money on the grounds that they heard the news.
This man would be so wary of a strange Taoist priest who came to the door of his house and stared at his door inexplicably.
"I misunderstood."
Song marched and saluted, and then said: "It's just that my child and I lived in this courtyard at the beginning, and then went out to travel, retired from the courtyard, and returned to Yidu today, revisiting the old land, and unconsciously walked into this sweet water alley, so I came to have a look." ”
"Really?"
When the man heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and looked him up and down: "Have you really lived here?" ”
"Don't dare to deceive."
The Taoist attitude is still polite.
At this moment, there was a squeak.
A woman opened the courtyard door and looked out as if to see who her man was talking to.
"Oops!"
The man immediately shouted, and his attitude changed greatly.
"Come in, please."
He was then graciously invited in.
……
One more for everyone! I hope to book a guaranteed monthly pass on the first of next month! Please vote for Jasmine at the beginning of the month, it can help Sanhua Niangniang to be on the list, and it makes no sense to vote at the end of the month.
There is also no double monthly pass this month.
