Chapter 52: Actually, I'm a Taoist priest

On Surabaya, a flat boat slowly moved forward, the boatman sang the song of bamboo artemisia, echoing in the sky, several young people were playing and laughing, Lin Xuan was lying on the boat, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep.

The way of cultivating the mind, with all things and quiet, the heart melts into the heaven and the earth, and the understanding of yin and yang is the general outline of the "Ancient Scripture of Enlightenment", in addition to the Black Xuanjian, this is the only thing left by the master, and it can be regarded as a kind of inheritance.

"Hey, you see, this villager still has two swords on his back, so he won't be there to sell swords, right?"

Several young people turned their eyes to Lin Xuan again, and Lin Xuan opened his eyes and smiled at several people.

"Boy, show us your sword. ”

"No, I can't. Lin Xuan shook his head, protecting the scabbard, a baby's appearance, and several people burst into laughter.

"Isn't it just two broken swords, like a baby, show me, maybe we will buy it for you if we are happy, and you don't need to go all the way to Huaiyang County, do you understand this deal?"

"Not for sale. Lin Xuan's answer was just two words, not at all roundabout, concise and clear, and several young people were stunned for a moment.

"Boy, you can't have a problem with your brain, right?" said the fat young man with a smile, looking Lin Xuan up and down.

"Gao Yuan, don't say it, as soon as you say it, I think this villager really looks like a fool. ”

The young man with a thin face and yellow muscles said, taking advantage of Lin Xuan's "not paying attention", he snatched a scabbard behind Lin Xuan.

"Haha, I got it, this villager is so precious to this sword, I want to see what kind of sword it is. ”

"Quick, Gao Jian, pull it out and take a look. Several other youths coaxed, Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes and did not stop.

"Woo-ra!"

The sword was unsheathed, and several young people were stunned, and after a while, there was a burst of wild laughter, which lasted for a long time above Surabaya.

The dark sword body, the front section has been broken, the rust is mottled, and the sword body has a circle of ghost painting talismans, and the whole thing is miserable.

"Boy, this is your sword, where did you dig it out, you amused me to death. ”

"It's not worth a copper ingot for your broken sword, I won't ask for it if you give it to me for nothing, I think you should go back to your village, don't come out and be embarrassed." ”

Gao Jian sneered, danced twice with the corpse sword, and then threw it to Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan took it with a smile, and continued to hold it in his arms, several young people disdained, but they no longer joked about Lin Xuan, maybe they felt that it was boring to bully a villager.

"Boatman, you have been doing this water-crossing business here all year round, do you know what has happened in Huaiyang County recently?" Gao Yuan asked the boatman, and the other young people also looked at the boatman.

"A few ferrymen, there is still some distance from Huaiyang County in Surabaya, and my news is also from some ferrymen, but it is not necessarily accurate. ”

"It's okay, just tell me, let's just listen to it. Gao Yuan said, but it was a little polite.

"I heard some ferrymen say that His Royal Highness the Prince of the General's Mansion is missing, suspected of being taken away by Emperor Yan's people, the General Wang is furious, the entire Huaiyang County is in a state of tension, and the southern army of the million town is approaching Yandu, and the Emperor Yan and the general Wang are about to fight in Wanzhong Mountain, and the battle is a mystery, and it is said that both sides are defeated. ”

"That's probably it, gossip, half-truth, don't take it seriously. ”

The boatman said a lot in one breath, and after he finished speaking, he exhaled lightly, looked at a group of young people, a group of young people were shocked, looked at each other, and then fell silent, and asked the boatman: "Boatman, do you know that there is a Gao family in Huaiyang City, how is their situation?"

"Gao family, I haven't heard of it, but don't worry, I'm too far away from Huaiyang City, and it's normal to can't hear the news, since it's a big family in Huaiyang City, there will definitely be no accident." ”

"The Gao family?" Lin Xuan was puzzled in his heart, and had a little impression, it seemed to be a second-rate family, looking at a few people who seemed to be relatives, it could be the so-called descendants of the Gao family.

"Boatman, you really don't know?" Gao Yuan and the other young people asked with some concern.

"I really don't know, maybe you can ask the other ferrymen, maybe someone knows. The boatman responded, and several young people turned their eyes to Lin Xuan when they heard this, Lin Xuan smiled, revealing his smooth big teeth, and a few pickle leaves on his teeth, and several people were stunned and turned their heads in disgust.

The boat continued to move forward, Lin Xuan closed his eyes, lying in the stern of the boat, eating pickles, peeling roasted sweet potatoes, a leisurely appearance, and several young people were frowning and nervous.

"Brother Gao Yuan, if something happens to the Gao family, what should we do, Da Jin can't go back, are we going to be homeless?"

"No, the Gao family is a famous family, and with the blessing of the great general Wang, it won't be so easy to get into trouble. ”

"But ......"

"No!" Gao Yuan shouted, a group of young people were shocked, and then fell silent, Lin Xuan glanced at it and smiled.

"Boy, what are you laughing at?" Gao Jian shouted at Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment, didn't he just laugh, how did he provoke them, but it was interesting.

"I didn't laugh. ”

"Nonsense, I saw you smiling just now. ”

"I'm really not laughing, it's because you're overly nervous and dazzled, what's so funny about your business. ”

As soon as Lin Xuan finished speaking, a group of young people looked at it together, Lin Xuan was stunned, reacted, and accidentally said that he had leaked his mouth.

"Well, I mean that Ji people have their own natural appearance, look at a few faces, they must be rich and noble people, with your blessings, the Gao family will definitely be fine, I swear by my experience in half a lifetime, I am not lying. ”

"Half a lifetime, do you have half a lifetime?" Gao Jian shouted.

"I have lived for five hundred years, and I am ready to live another five hundred years, so I call it half a lifetime. Lin Xuan smiled, sat up from the boat, no longer pretended to be a villager, twisted his fingers, and pretended to be a magic stick.

"Who are you?" Gao Yuan asked in a deep voice, looking at Lin Xuan with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

"Fortune teller. Lin Xuan grinned and replied.

"Aren't you a villager?"

"I didn't say that. ”

"And your sword?"

"This sword is really a treasure, I call it an invincible sword in the world, and the mystery of understanding can be invincible in the world. ”

"What nonsense!" Gao Yuan said angrily, only feeling that Lin Xuan was playing tricks on him, his sword flashed, and he drew his sword to stab.

"Donor, the ancients, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground, if you swing your sword at me, you will be punished by heaven. ”

As soon as the words fell, a big fish suddenly appeared in the water, the big fish churned, set off a splash in the sky, and poured on Gao Yuan's body, Gao Yuan was stunned, and looked into the water in anger, but there was no shadow of the big fish.

"Donor, the monks don't say anything, they are dedicated to goodness, they can soar on the ground, and become a Buddha on the ground, once they do evil, they will be sent to the extremely evil hell and suffer endless torture, donor, do you know?"

"Aren't you a Taoist priest?" Gao Yuan shouted at Lin Xuan, the sword in his hand trembled, he didn't dare to wave it at Lin Xuan, he was afraid, the big fish suddenly appeared just now, it was too weird.

"Monks and Taoists are one family, how can they be distinguished, donor, you are too persistent, if you want to know how to be flexible, do you know?"
