039: Master Pei, Taoism (4,000 words)
Green Vine City, the old city unit community.
"I'm back."
Luo Wei was carrying a bag full of vegetables and meat, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he noticed his parents' shoes and a pair of unfamiliar short high heels, "Mom and Dad, are you back?" Got guests? ”
As he spoke, he pushed open the door and frowned slightly when he saw the woman chatting with her parents on the sofa in the living room.
"Xiao Wei, say hello to your sister Xiao Hua."
On the sofa, Luo's father beckoned, and sitting opposite him was Hua Xin, who had disappeared for many days.
"Sister Xiaohua..."
Luo Wei put down the shopping bag in his hand, greeted him casually, and asked pretending to be concerned: "Sister Xiaohua, I haven't seen you for a long time, I thought you were sick." ”
"Williams, what nonsense."
When Huang Luqin heard this, she quickly asked her son to add tea to the empty teacup, and said to Hua Xin with a smile: "Xiaohua, don't suggest, this child has never been able to speak." ”
"It's okay, Xiao Wei is very well-behaved, you are not there during that time, he goes home on time every day, and he doesn't go anywhere."
Hua Xin hooked the ends of her hair, her pretty cheeks showed a shallow smile, and the eyes that looked at Luo Wei were meaningful when she spoke.
"Xiao Wei still reassures us, I haven't caused trouble since I was a child."
Huang Luqin said, finding that his son was still standing in place and did not move, he coughed lightly and reminded: "Xiao Wei, tea..."
"No need, I've drunk enough tea just now, so I'll go back first, Xiaoqing, I'll explain some things to her at the end, and I'll send someone to pick her up tomorrow."
Hua Xin reached out to cover the teacup and said.
"Cousin?"
Luo Wei's face was surprised, and he guessed the reason for Hua Xin's coming.
"Xiao Wei forgot to tell you, Xiao Qing is going out with Sister Xiao Hua for a while tomorrow, it just so happens that you have no time for class tomorrow, and you also trouble Sister Xiao Hua to help us take care of her."
Father Luo on the sofa hurriedly explained, but the excuse sounded far-fetched, because the two of them were now on vacation and could take care of Xiaoqing.
"I see, Sister Xiaohua, I've worked hard for you."
Luo Wei pretended to suddenly realize and thanked Hua Xin.
It seems that things are the same as he thought, during the period when Hua Xin disappeared, there was a high probability that he would deal with other things, and the only things that Hua Xin could do were supernatural events, or the emergence of a new superhero.
Now Luo Wei is more inclined to the former, Hua Xin is dealing with supernatural events during this time, and it is very likely to be the underworld incident in Sichuan and Chongqing, the reason for thinking so is very simple.
The first is the crocodile people, such a non-governmental organization, can know about the things of the underworld, how can the Ministry of Self-improvement as an official not have any awareness, and now Huaxin is looking for the green snake, just to deal with the group of people who are looking for the underworld, after all, at this stage, there are very few superheroes in the self-improvement department, almost relying on the support of ordinary people, and the green snake has become one of the choices.
In addition, the green snake has just come into contact with this world, and she has no sense of security about the world around her, so she will not easily carry out the task of the Ministry of Self-Improvement, but, if it is a task related to the underworld, it is not necessarily, the little girl is still thinking about how to go to the underworld with Superman until this morning, it can only be said that she is too young and curious, and curiosity is too heavy and easy to be used.
"It's coming, it's coming."
"Sister Xiaohua, let's go to Yin tomorrow..."
The green snake rushed out of the bathroom, her peach blossom eyes lit up, and when she saw Luo Wei there, she immediately stopped talking and didn't continue.
"Where are you going tomorrow, can I go with you?"
Luo Wei asked with a smile.
"No, you have to go to a private school, you can't go or the teacher will scold you."
Qing Snake shook her head vigorously, she remembered the explanation between Sister Xiaohua and Uncle Luo just now, and resolutely refused to reveal any news to her cousin, otherwise Sister Xiaohua would not take herself.
"Okay, Williams, come with me to the kitchen to wash the vegetables, I haven't had lunch so late, it's not good for my stomach."
Huang Luqin hurriedly got up, pulled his son, and walked towards the kitchen, while Hua Xin, who stayed behind, took the green snake to the study, and it seemed that she had secrets to confess.
Luo Wei didn't care, he came to the kitchen with his mother to help wash the vegetables at the same time, super hearing heard the conversation in the study clearly, and the general content was similar to what he guessed, Hua Xin was going to take the green snake to Sichuan and Chongqing.
The little girl is like a second fool, and she can't be happy to work for others.
When the meal was cooked, Hua Xin had already left when she came out of the kitchen, Father Luo wanted to keep her down to eat, but Sister Iceberg politely refused, Luo Wei could see that she didn't really want to stay with her.
Don't look at the iceberg on Huaxin's surface, in fact, this woman's heart rate is beating fast, she is worried..., no, it can't be said to be worried, judging from the micro-expression, is it fear, or awe?
Luo Wei didn't take it to heart, the self-improvement department and the green snake went to Sichuan and Chongqing, which had little impact on him, after all, they were all to prevent the opening of the gate of the underworld, the starting point was the same, and the purpose was the same.
After eating.
In the afternoon, my parents didn't go out again, took Luo Wei and the green snake to the pedestrian street, went shopping and bought several sets of clothes, the green snake is not deep, very curious about the outside world, when buying clothes, I have been running around the mall, my expression has been full of surprise, even if it is just a product, she can pester Luo Wei and let him help introduce.
Later, when the green snake passed through the game city, he insisted on pulling Luo Wei into the crane machine, out of helplessness, on the surface as a cousin, he finally helped the green snake catch a lot of dolls, a coin to catch one, almost didn't make the boss cry, because according to the rules of the game, the doll can be exchanged for prizes, the more dolls the better and more expensive the prizes are naturally better and more expensive, and most of them are still figures, the price of domestic figures is very expensive, Luo Wei and Green Snake exchanged more than a dozen in one go, and finally the boss had to use the machine failure as the reason, forcibly cut off the power of the crane machine, which made the two stop.
At the end of the day, it was clear that he was just a modern person, some boring entertainment, and ate strange snacks from roadside stalls, but it made Green Snake feel very fulfilled.
Luo Wei looked at the happy green snake and sighed in his heart, maybe this is the reason why the green snake wants to go to Sichuan and Chongqing, she is eager to explore the vast world, because the current world for her, every place reveals novelty and adventure.
The next morning, when Luo Wei got up to class, Hua Xin didn't come, and when he came back from school, he learned from his parents that Green Snake was going out by himself, and soon Hua Xin came to pick her up.
"Huh."
Luo Wei chuckled, went back to the room, and began to use the paper map to check the location of the place that the crocodile man said, and prepare for tomorrow's plan in advance, don't ask why he didn't use the computer, he wasn't sure if someone had tampered with it, or it was safer to use a paper map.
The latest version of the paper map, the recorded location is still very detailed, you can find the location that the crocodile man said, besides, he only needs to find the location, and when he arrives at the place, he will naturally be able to distinguish the accurate location of the crocodile man through the sound.
After simply finding the location, Luo Wei threw away the map, just a glance, the map of Sichuan and Chongqing had been deeply engraved in his mind, out of boredom, he even memorized a few more maps of other provinces, if it wasn't for the fact that there were no maps of all the provinces in Huaxia, otherwise he would have written them all down.
...
...
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next night.
The crocodile man said that the good time was eight o'clock in the evening, Luo Wei was worried about how to avoid his parents to go out, but he didn't expect that the uncle in the north of the city happened to hold a banquet, and his parents were going to take him there, but he refused to review his homework.
When his parents went out, he changed into a battle uniform on his hind feet, disappeared into the room with a flash, and flew towards the southwest, which was the direction of Sichuan and Chongqing.
Sichuan and Chongqing are located in the southwest, since ancient times is a very legendary place in China, it not only has continuous majestic mountains, the Yangtze River strong water, everywhere mysterious and wonderful, but also a piece of red blood hot land, the birth of countless talents.
At this time, above the meager clouds, Luo Wei was overlooking the bustling Sichuan and Chongqing mountain cities below, the streets were full of traffic, people were boiling, and the food stalls were steaming white, full of fireworks.
Luo Wei glanced at it, and did not go to a crowded place, but flew towards the suburbs, the address given by the crocodile man is on the edge of the city, it is reasonable to think about it, after all, the crocodile man has a special identity, and the place of residence and meeting can not always be in a crowded place, so doing so will only move stones and shoot himself in the foot.
"......"
Luo Wei followed the address, landed on a road in the mountains and forests, there was a dilapidated stop sign on this road, and after landing on the ground, there was a strange sound of "Woo Boom", turning his head to look, there was a huge figure hidden in the depths of the dark woods, the figure made a strange scream, and walked out of the branches and leaves of the trees, and the scales of his body were exposed to the moonlight.
"Superman, I knew you wouldn't break your word, I didn't wait in vain."
It was the crocodile man Zhang Si who walked over, and he said with a smile while holding a mobile phone.
"It's not bad, it's exactly eight o'clock."
Lowe said, glancing at the phone the crocodile was holding.
"Come with me, they are all waiting for you, when you saved the plane the day before yesterday, you were so handsome, how did you break the physics and catch the plane unharmed?"
The crocodile man led the way, and as he walked through the deep woods, he looked back excitedly.
"Because I have a special bioforce field that protects the plane from destruction."
Luo Wei followed, always paying attention to the movements around him, and then swept around with his super vision, taking in all the scenes within a radius of more than ten miles, and finally his eyes fell on a courtyard.
It was the only building facility in the vicinity, a wooden and stone compound halfway up the mountain, built in a style that resembled a Taoist Taoist temple, with a retro-style main house in front of the far gate, and rows of huts on both sides, and a stone statue of an ancient man holding a scroll in the courtyard.
It's just that the courtyard is too small, and it is too far from the Taoist temple in Luo Wei's impression, but he still asked: "Do you live in the Taoist temple?" ”
"Taoism?"
The crocodile man suddenly remembered that Superman had super vision, and couldn't help but smile and said: "That's not a Taoist temple, where is there such a small Taoist temple, it's just that the people who took me in like Taoist culture have such a building." ”
"The person who took you in?"
Lowe captures the point.
"Well, he was also waiting for you, and he asked me to find you, and he said that you are also special, hurry up, and you will know when you get to the place."
The crocodile man nodded.
Between words.
The two of them had already arrived at the open courtyard gate, and the long-bearded old man in a purple robe seemed to be waiting here for a long time.
The old man took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said, "Superman, Pei Xushan has admired his name for a long time." ”
"Hello, Master Pei."
Luo Wei stretched out his hand and shook it, looked at him, and suddenly felt that the old man opposite was by no means as simple as it seemed on the surface.
The old man's face was a little old, about seventy or eighty years old, with frosty white hair and a long beard, but his eyes were deep and energetic, and he did not lose the vicissitudes of the years.
And the force of the handshake is very tough, not at all like a seventy or eighty-year-old man.
"I'm surprised that an old man has taken in so many monsters."
Pei Xushan said with a smile, and his face looked kind.
"I'm kind of surprised."
Lowe withdrew his hand and said.
"Come, let's talk first."
Before taking Luo Wei into the house, Pei Xushan looked at the crocodile man and said, "Zhang Si, go and call your brothers, go to the main house, and Superman and I will go first." ”
"Yes."
The crocodile man nodded.
Luo Wei just said politely, and then didn't speak anymore and followed Master Pei to the main house, on the way he could clearly feel that there were at least seven people in the surrounding room, and all of them were mutants like crocodile people.
Pei Xushan took him to the main house, where a round table and a row of bookshelves were placed in the cool air, and there were calligraphy and paintings on the wall that read "Cun Si Shouyi", and the only modern utensils were only a few lamps, and the decoration was simple and simple, giving people a sense of isolation from the world.
"Sit casually."
Pei Xushan sat on the chair and pointed to the chair opposite.
"No need, I'm in a hurry, you are looking for me for the affairs of the underworld, and the affairs of the underworld will be solved first."
Lowe shook his head and didn't take a stand.
Maybe it was his innate sensibility, and he always felt that the old man opposite him was indescribably strange.
"The group looking for the underworld hasn't come yet, don't worry, drink tea first to refresh yourself, and wait for Zhang Si to call everyone together, young people don't be too impetuous."
Pei Xushan said as he poured hot water from the kettle and began to make tea by himself.
Seeing this, Luo Wei was stunned for a moment, then flicked off his cloak, sat on the chair, took the teacup and said, "This pot of water was cold before." ”
"Really? But when I picked it up, it was hot. ”
Pei Xushan touched his beard and drank tea by himself.
"You're also a transhuman?"
Luo Wei was very sure that the water in the kettle was cold when he came in, but when Pei Xushan poured the water, the water boiled instantly.
"It's not."
Pei Xushan shook his head and said: "Where in the world are there so many superhumans, and there is only one in ten thousand who can be chosen by God. ”
"But superhumans aren't the only ones in the world who can make water boil instantly, but it's okay if you don't want to tell me."
Luo Wei guessed that the old man in front of him should have some kind of strange ability, it is the strange ability that Hua Xin said, DC has never lacked such people who like to pretend to be gods, but it doesn't matter, he is here for the underworld, and he can keep an eye on how much of this thing is a trick to pretend to be a ghost.
"Someone told you that you are gifted in cultivation?"
Pei Xushan put down the teacup and asked in a deep voice.
"Talented? Some people don't think the word is worthy of me. ”
Luo Wei took a sip of tea, and looked at the words next to him, "Cun Si Shouyi", and the other series of contents were all about Taoism, "Are you Taoist?" ”
"Sort of."
Pei Xushan said, continuing to pour water in his hand, but found that the kettle was empty, he shook the kettle again and filled it with hot water, "Do you still want tea?" ”
"No need."
Lowe covered the mouth of the teacup and his gaze fell on the kettle.
"There is a saying in Taoism that everything is made by the mind, and water is born from my heart."
Pei Xushan also put down the teapot, and noticed Luo Wei's gaze and said, which also made the young man opposite stunned for a moment.
At this time, outside the door, there was a sound of footsteps, it was Zhang Si who brought someone here, "Master Pei, everyone is called." ”
