The air on the mountain is exceptionally cold, and taking a sharp breath has the effect of refreshing and refreshing the mind.

The daily life of the Taoist priest is different from that of the monk, the monk likes to be quiet, and the homework is mainly based on meditation, and the Taoist priest also likes to be quiet, but the Taoist priest's tranquility refers to the tranquility of the mind, not the stillness of the body.

Wudang is a martial arts way, and in the early morning, before dawn, the disciples began to practice martial arts.

Nearly 1,000 people gathered together to do Tai Chi, which was really spectacular.

Li Qing, who usually likes to sleep lazily, has been up early every day since he came to the mountain, and has devoted himself to the life of a Taoist priest, sometimes preaching, sometimes instructing his disciples, or chatting with Zhang Tianshi and Yuzhen.

Plain but not boring, relaxed and cozy......

A month is not short, it is not long, but in a blink of an eye, it is already the wax moon.

Although Li Qing was reluctant, he had to leave.

He also wants to stop by to see Master.

~

At the foot of Wudang Mountain.

"You don't need to send it, let's go back," Li Qing said with a smile, "It's not like I'm not going back, Yuzhen, Yuxuan, you can go back quickly." ”

The two sighed softly and said, "Senior brother, take care!" ”

"Take care of yourselves, too." Li Qing nodded with a smile.

Then, he looked at Zhang Yuanqing and asked, "Daoyou, are you going back to Longhu Mountain?" ”

"Li Daoyou is really not authentic." Zhang Yuanqing had a lot of complaints, "I knew you were in such a hurry to leave, so I wouldn't come." ”

Li Qingxin smiled humbly, Zhang Tianshi is very interesting, in the past month, he has promoted Wudang a lot, Zhang Tianshi's golden signboard is not ordinary, even if it is not a believer, it is also familiar with it.

In these days, not only has the number of incense worshippers increased, but also in the case of word of mouth, the influence of Wudang Mountain has been invisibly expanded.

"Why don't you go after spending the New Year on the mountain?" ωＷω.ＧoＮЬ.οrＧ

“…… Forget it, I'd better go back to Longhu Mountain. Zhang Yuanqing snorted, "You owe me a favor this time." ”

Li Qing nodded with a smile.

He does owe people family favors, including getting pills for Zhu Jianshen and Wang Shouren last time, and getting pills for Li Hong before that, and going forward......

In short, he, Li Qing, took advantage of Longhu Mountain.

In officialdom, Li Qing takes money and doesn't do anything, which is really tasteless, but he is only targeting the bureaucratic group, in fact, Li Qing is still very righteous and is not a merciless person.

Li Qing promised: "If he needs help, as long as he does not violate the law and the conscience of heaven and earth, he will never shirk the poor way." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing felt much more comfortable.

The last time Zhu Jianshen happened, he saw Li Qing's extraordinary, but he didn't want to, and he didn't dare to break it.

"Take care, there will be a period later."

Li Qing returned the salute, "There will be a period later!" ”

Bidding farewell to Zhang Yuanqing, Li Qing rushed to the small Taoist temple......

~

At the foot of Daoguan Mountain, Li Qing stopped and stared.

The past is like yesterday.

Time is the most merciless!

At this moment, all the loneliness that was deliberately avoided came to Li Qing, which made Li Qing very uncomfortable.

For a long time, Li Qing climbed the mountain......

After several days of heavy snowfall, the road up the mountain was covered in snow, and it was impossible to tell where the road was.

Li Qing is very proficient.

Time fades memories, but there are always things that will not be forgotten, no matter how long it takes.

The snow sank to his ankles, and Li Qing's steps were heavy......

It took him a quarter of an hour to climb the small mountain.

The small Taoist temple is still the same small Taoist temple, but there are not many Taoist priests, only a dozen, and the loss is extremely serious.

They were roasting sweet potatoes in the Taoist temple, and they were very bored until Li Qing came in.

"Who are you?"

After such a long time, there was no Li Qing's 'Dharma Body' on the mountain, they couldn't remember it clearly, but they felt that Li Qing was somewhat familiar.

Li Qing asked, "Are you people on the mountain?" What about the others? ”

"Are you...... Big brother? A Taoist priest in his sixties looked surprised and shocked.

After he reminded him, a few more people recognized Li Qing, but other later people did not know why.

Li Qing generously admitted and continued to ask: "Now you are left on the mountain?" ”

"yes, that's all we have left." The old Taoist priest smiled bitterly, "After the senior brother left, the Taoist temple really flourished for a period of time, and more and more people came to the mountain to be Taoist priests, and finally led to a shortage of income, and within a few years, the money left by the senior brother was spent." ”

While explaining, he introduced to the newcomer who came behind, "This is our senior brother of Wudang Dao, the disciple of the ancestor himself. ”

"Hello senior brother."

Maybe they have been decadent for too long, and they won't even make a fool of themselves and look at them nondescriptly.

Li Qing was angry and helpless, and scolded: "Why did you guys look like this? ”

"Well, we don't want to!" The old Taoist priest said with a bitter face, "At first, everything was fine, and there were many laymen who went up the mountain to worship incense, but since ...... After Wudang Mountain exerted its strength, no one came, and as time went by, the money left by the senior brother was also spent, there was no way! ”

"Yes, big brother." Another Taoist priest echoed, "At that time, they were all about to run out of food, and there were so many senior brothers, how could they stop people from leaving?" That is, there is a piece of land on the mountain, which is barely enough for us to be self-sufficient, otherwise, I am afraid that we will have to leave. ”

Li Qing: "......"

Willing to criticize, but unable to speak, Li Qing was depressed.

But is that the matter...... I really don't blame them.

This wave belonged to the big water that washed the Dragon King Temple, and the nest was fighting.

Although this is the birthplace of Taoism, Wudang Mountain has the blessing of the official background and is magnificent, whether in terms of fame or scale, it is not comparable here.

Even the Emperor Zhenwu is sculpted in the image of the Yongle Emperor, comparing his life?

"Alas......" Li Qing was also convinced, but he had no place to reason, "How many laymen go up to the mountain to worship incense a month now?" ”

The old Taoist priest counted with his fingers and said: "Spring, summer, and autumn, how can there be ten or eight in a month, and it will not work as soon as it enters winter. ”

Li Qing: "......"

"How do you all live?"

"There is land on the mountain, but I can't go hungry." The old Taoist priest said, "When I had money before, I bought everything I should have, I had clothes to wear, food to eat, and a quilt to cover at night, so life was not a problem." ”

Li Qing: "......"

He really didn't expect that these juniors and disciples of the Taoist Temple would have such a shabby life.

Li Qing took out a piece of gold and said, "Go down the mountain and go to the town to buy some tribute, and the rest of the money will be used to buy clothes and bedding...... Go ahead. ”

"Hey, good." The old Taoist priest nodded again and again, took the gold and handed it to his junior brother, and said, "Beware of slippery roads, come back early." ”

"Yes, sir." The Taoist priests nodded, and then said to Li Qing: "Senior Brother Xie." ”

After that, more than ten people went happily.

Li Qing looked at the old Taoist priest and asked, "Are you the head now?" ”

"There are no tigers on the mountain, and the monkey is the king." The old Taoist priest sneered, "Among the people left, I am the eldest, uh, hehe......"

“…… Okay. Li Qing sighed, turned around and walked out.

"Where is Senior Brother going?" The old Taoist priest hurriedly followed.

"I'm going to visit Master, don't follow you in this cold and snowy place, you'll get frostbitten again......" Li Qing waved his hand, "Go to the Taoist Temple and rest." ”

The old Taoist priest is not as good as Yuxuan and Yuzhen, he is a monk halfway, and he has no true qi to live by, this cold winter wax moon, he really can't bear it.

The mountains were full of snow, and with his old bones, he would break a bone if he fell.

The old Taoist priest also had self-knowledge and said, "Senior brother obeys orders." ”

"Alas...... Is it okay for your own family to rob your own family's 'business'? Li Qing smiled bitterly and laughed at himself.

~

The snow was very thick, and the word at the bottom of the master's tombstone was almost buried by the snow, Li Qing cleaned it up little by little, and wiped the tombstone with his sleeve......

Li Qing knelt in front of the grave, gently caressing the inscription on the tombstone, the more he looked at it, the more blurred it became, and vaguely, he could still see the little old man's smiling and scolding appearance......

'You kid, why did it take so long to come, the old man has been hungry for years. ’

"I'm sorry Master, the disciple is late."

'How adult, don't be ashamed to say that you are still crying. ’

"What's the matter, it's just that the wind has raised snow and lost my eyes." Li Qing said stiffly.

'Okay, okay, I'm kidding you, where has the old man suffered?' You don't have to worry about it. ’

"How powerful Master is, the disciple doesn't care about you, the disciple ......" Li Qing said in a dumb voice, "The disciple just misses you." ”

'Qingzi, aren't you used to it? ’

"Get used to it, get used to it...... It's just that sometimes I can't control it. Li Qing grinned, revealing an ugly smile.

The little old man sighed, stepped forward to hold his head, hugged him in his arms, gently stroked his head, and said softly:

"Don't be yourself, rest when you're tired, make yourself easier, you don't owe anyone ......"

"Hmm..."

~

"Senior brother, senior brother, why are you sleeping here? Beware of the wind chill, get up, get up quickly......"

Li Qing opened his eyes quietly, there were tears on his cheeks, and his expression was dazed.

A gust of wind blew on his face, and his long hair was raised, and he settled down, knowing that it was a dream. The grief is even stronger.

"Didn't you stay in the Taoist temple, why did you come out?"

The old Taoist priest said worriedly: "It's been a long time, seeing that the senior brother will not go back, the senior brother will come and see if he is not at ease, this ice and snow, don't freeze." ”

"It's okay, I'm frost-resistant." Li Qing kowtowed again and slowly got up.

When the old Taoist priest saw him kowtow, he felt that he couldn't say anything if he didn't kowtow, so he knelt down and kowtowed, and then said:

"Senior brother, let's go back first."

"Haven't you bought the tribute yet?" Li Qing asked.

"It's cold and snowy, and the road is not easy to walk," said the old Taoist priest, "but it should be fast, how can I rush back before dark." ”

"Hmm." Li Qing stared at the tombstone for a long time, then turned around, "Let's go, go back first." ”

"Hey," the old Taoist priest breathed a sigh of relief, he was really worried that the golden and warm-hearted senior brother had a good one, but he had the heart to persuade him, but he couldn't speak.

The festival mourns and changes, he says it is not appropriate.

I had to say: "The ancestor has immeasurable merits, and now that he has gone to heaven, he will definitely be in the immortal class, so don't worry, senior brother." ”

Li Qing just smiled and didn't say anything.

He couldn't convince himself with the words of the old Taoist priest.

Seeing him smile, the old Taoist priest immediately relaxed, and changed the topic and asked, "Senior brother, after so many years, how can you ...... Not old at all, huh? ”
