Chapter 203: Outer Heaven [Part II]

Zhao Rang glanced at the cave pointed by the red-clothed child, and found that the cave was not claustrophobic, and there was still light falling from the top.

The walls of the cave are smooth and flat, and it must have taken a great deal of effort to build.

"There used to be a statue of a bodhisattva here."

Halfway through the cave, the red-clothed child pointed to a depression in the cave wall.

Zhao Rang took a closer look, and sure enough, there was a shadow in the shape of a Buddha statue, which seemed to have been placed for a long time.

"Why is it gone?"

Zhao Rang asked.

The red-clothed child shook his head at first, then grinned and said:

"Baihe Mountain is a Taoist temple after all! You don't even know this, do you? ”

Zhao Rang couldn't help but smile bitterly......

Being ridiculed by a teenager is also a rare experience.

"Of course I do. Doesn't this mean that you are not wearing a robe? ”

Zhao Rang said jokingly.

Although the child in red has always lived on Baihe Mountain and has many masters, Zhao Rang feels that he must not be a Taoist priest. Not even in the future.

"Huh? Why do you say that? ”

The child in red didn't seem to understand, so he stopped.

"Because you just don't wear a robe!"

Zhao Rang still wondered why there was this...... Not something obvious? You can see it clearly at a glance.

"Oh......"

The red-clothed child said in a long voice.

"Oh?"

Zhao Rang couldn't understand him anymore.

I didn't think about it, and the tone of the child in red suddenly became very indifferent:

"I thought you weren't that cheesy, but it turned out to be the same."

Zhao Rang frowned and tasted the meaning of the magenta-clothed child's words.

"What you wear on your body is a Taoist robe, but only what is engraved in your heart is the real Dao?"

The red-clothed child had already walked out of the cave, and when he heard Zhao Rang say this, his eyes suddenly widened, revealing a thick surprise:

"You can even think of this layer!"

Zhao Rang smiled, and suddenly remembered a Taoist couplet he had stumbled across in a book many years ago.

"If you have evil thoughts, it is not beneficial for you to burn incense. Hold on to your body, why don't you worship me when you see me! ”

"Not bad, not bad, Daozang Volume 7, page 389!"

The kid in red said as he clapped.

"Can you still remember the exact number of pages?"

Zhao Rang asked incredulously.

The fact that you can still remember the number of pages when you read a book is amazing!

"What? Can't you? ”

Zhao Rang shook his head in shame.

"My master said that reading should start with every word, and then move on to a word, a sentence, and a long article, all of which have to be taken apart and chewed repeatedly. Don't say which page it's on, but you have to know how many words there are, and that's what learning is! ”

Zhao Rang was amazed, and suddenly felt that something was wrong......

In the entire White Crane Mountain, there is only one person who can spend a lot of effort studying the Daozang like this - the junior disciple of the White Crane Mountain, who is now the substitute head of the White Crane Mountain.

"Who is the master who taught you to read?"

Zhao Rang asked cautiously.

"Qing Xuanzi."

This name Zhao Rang had never heard of.

But since the child in red was willing to answer, he continued to ask:

"Who is Qing Xuanzi?"

"The junior brother of the white crane, the current substitute teacher."

Although he already felt something, when he really heard the red-clothed child say this, Zhao Rang still took a deep breath.

How could he teach such a disciple who is proficient in swordsmanship?

But after thinking about it, the child in red is not only in charge of teaching a master, but it also makes sense.

But after knowing that one of his masters was the current acting master, Zhao Rang was even more curious about his kendo master!

"Haven't you seen Qing Xuanzi?"

The kid in red asked casually.

"Yes, I even ate the fish he made!"

Zhao Rang replied.

"Ah, he'll make you fish to eat!"

The red-clothed child said with envy.

"The master is very strict with his reading...... Only when I can memorize the entire volume of Daozang and answer all his questions will I make fish for me to eat as a reward. ”

"How many times have you eaten?"

The red-clothed child first stretched out two fingers, then retracted one again, and said:

"Only once...... But soon there will be a second time! ”

Zhao Rang did not refute, changed his words, and then asked:

"Then who did you learn your swordsmanship from?"

The red-clothed child opened his mouth and did not speak.

He always dealt with questions he didn't want to or couldn't answer, as if he hadn't heard them at all.

There was a deep silence between the two.

The winding mountain road and the towering cliff wall also made the two of them dare not be distracted, so they walked quietly one after the other.

Zhao Rang was slightly scared, so he only stared down at his feet and didn't look anywhere else at all.

"We're here!"

Zhao Rang raised his head and saw that there was a flat open space in front of him.

It was as if a large piece of the mountain had been slashed from the center with an axe, creating an extremely flat clearing.

Next to the clearing, there is a staircase carved out of the rock that connects to the bottom.

Zhao Rang glanced at it and felt that this road seemed to be much easier than the road he had just walked.

The senior sister and the little junior sister came to greet Yuyi every day, and this is the way they should go.

"Why didn't we just go this way?"

The kid in red asked rhetorically:

"Aren't you going to go out of the sky?"

Zhao Rang was confused by his question...... After brushing his thoughts, he said:

"You said that Feather Coat lives outside the sky, and then I will follow you. I haven't been here before, so how do I know there's another way to go? ”

The kid in red thought about it and felt that Zhao Rang seemed to be right, so he said:

"You're right, I didn't understand it before."

No matter which way it goes, it's a good way to get to the place.

Now that he has come here, Zhao Rang will not delve into anything.

There was a house made of stone in this clearing, and it was snow-white.

It is not an easy task to find so many stones of similar color, size, and shape, especially if you have to transport them halfway up the mountain.

It seems that Baiheshan really attaches great importance to this Taoist chief from the south, otherwise he would not have spent so much effort to build her house.

The stone house is surrounded by land.

The dirt was also brought up from the mountains.

Zhao Rang estimated in his heart that just transporting these dirt was enough for a strong laborer to work for more than ten days!

The land is shiny and fertile, and it is clear that it has been carefully cared for.

Except for a small piece that was empty, there were things growing in the other fields, but none of them could be named.

"Feather Coat's not here!"

The kid in red said suddenly.

"How do you know?"

Zhao Rang asked rhetorically.

According to what the senior sister and the little junior sister said, Yu Yi has been sick for a long time and has not gone out at all. She relied on her disciples to take care of everything, so it was impossible not to be there.

"Do you see that shelf?"

"Near the stone house, the penultimate one, the one that climbs the vine and pulls it down."

Zhao Rang responded, signaling that he had seen it.

But he still didn't understand what the kid in red meant by this.

"If Feather Coat is at home, she'll already pack up the drooping one."

"She wouldn't tolerate a little imperfection in her yard!"

This reasoning and judgment is very convincing.

Zhao Rang had already sketched out the general feeling of the feather coat in his mind.

The person who can hold the Tang family's unique antidote must not be an ordinary person, and it can even be said that she is the Tang family, and she still has a high status in the family, so that a powerful character like Tang Wanqing has to be subject to her.

For a family, the most important thing is blood!

Blood ties are not only the bond that maintains the stability of the entire family, but also the most powerful weapon when branching outward.

A dynasty of flowing water, a family of iron.

Not long after Dawei ruled the world, the world was divided into the north and the south.

And for an existence like the Tang family in Shuzhong, the change of dynasty has no impact on it at all. Even the puppet emperor in the south, in order to increase his power and influence, had to take the initiative to put down his body and befriend him.

"Do you know what the feather robe is called?"

Zhao Rang asked.

The kid in red shook his head.

He really didn't know this time.

Even his Daozang master, Qing Xuanzi's real name, he didn't know.

In the Daomen, everyone is referred to by the name of the Dao. For the highly respected and advanced Taoist priests, they are given the honorific title of "Taoist Chief".

Some old Taoist leaders probably can't even remember their former common names.

The child in red looked at the sky and said to Zhao Rang:

"Feather Coat's life is here, and I don't know where he went now."

"Are you leaving?"

Zhao Rang saw that his expression was in a hurry, and he should have remembered something urgent.

kid in red says:

"Well, I'm leaving."

Zhao Rang did not stay.

He had a good impression of the kid.

It would be better if you could be dull and suffer more losses.

So he said to the child in red:

"Okay, you go get busy. When I'm done, I'll treat you to dinner. ”

Zhao Rang wanted to say, "Please drink", but remembered that the other party was just a teenager, so he replaced drinking with eating when he was leaving.

The child in red felt that the term "inviting guests to dinner" was very fresh, and after happily saying a few of his favorite dishes, he jumped up and patted Zhao Rang's shoulder, like an old friend.

walked out for a while, and did not forget to turn around and remind Zhao Rang:

"You need to get things done quickly!"

Zhao Rang smiled and nodded, and then watched the red on his body disappear at the turn of the stairs.

Looking back at the stone house of the feather coat again, Zhao Rang unconsciously took a few steps back......

The Tang family is all masters of using drugs.

Tang Wanqing's yin wind was already so strong that it was invisible and shadowless, not to mention the feather coat with a better status than her in the family.

These unknown plants planted in the yard, Zhao Rang felt that they might be extremely rare poisons.

There was no fog on this mountain peak, and the cool mountain breeze made Zhao Rang very comfortable.

Stretching his arm, his clothes accidentally rubbed against the fence outside the yard, Zhao Rang didn't dare to be careless, and immediately pulled out his knife, cut off the piece of clothing directly, and let it blow down the mountain with the wind.

After doing all this, the palpitations in my heart did not disappear, and suddenly I heard a burst of laughter like silver bells coming from the stone room.
