Chapter 45: Breaking the Bowl for the Sword

Looking at Li Zi's puzzled expression, Qi Jingsi smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Little Daoist don't be surprised, Lao Dao has seen Da Zhenren before, and he also knows that you are his youngest disciple. ”

Li Zi put away his puzzled expression and said: "The real person has a heart, everything is fine with the family teacher, the kid doesn't know that the real person has seen my master, so he doesn't dare to reply, but the real person and the family teacher have intersected in the early years?"

Qi Jingsi gently patted the little ash on the futon, nodded, and said, "I shouldn't say that there is any intersection, it's just that I asked a few words with a real person back then, and I haven't seen it since then." ”

After saying a few words, why every time I asked the master, how is Nanshan, the master said that he didn't know? Qi Zhenren is a well-known Taoist in the world, if he has seen it, the master should also know, is it because the master doesn't want to tell me?

Putting aside his cranky thoughts, Li Zi no longer asked about the early years between the real person and his master, and asked: "Before, the real person said that he had waited for the boy for a long time, and the real person knew that the boy would come? ”

Qi Jingsi shook his head with a smile, and did not answer Li Zi's first question, but said directly: "Lao Dao knows that although Xiao Daoyou is a disciple of a real person, he has never realized the Tao of one day, so Lao Dao does not want to invite Xiao Daoyou to discuss the Dao. ”

Li Zi scratched his head and asked in wonder, "Why is that real person waiting for the kid here?"

Qi Jingsi looked at the unknown plum, pointed to the peach rune wood sword behind the plum and said, "I heard that you have been learning swords?

Hearing this, Li Zi directly took off the peach rune wooden sword he was carrying behind him, put it horizontally in his hand, and hesitated before handing it to Qi Jingsi with both hands.

Qi Jingsi, who took the wooden sword, put the wooden sword on his legs sitting cross-legged, and gently stroked the sword body, although it was called the peach rune wooden sword, but the wooden sword of Li Zi did not carve a rune, just like an ordinary wooden sword.

Qi Jing Sizai looked at the wooden sword carefully, as if he was looking at a peerless treasure, and Li Zi, who was watching quietly, actually saw a pity and a little sadness in the eyes of this real person.

After a long time, Qi Jingsi raised his head, looked at Li Zi, and said, "This wooden sword was given to you by your master?"

"No, it was made of wood by the boy himself."

"Why don't there be runes on the sword?"

"Master didn't teach, so I didn't draw. ”

"Why don't you ask a real person for help, or do you want to do it yourself later?"

"No, it's the master who refuses. ”

Qi Jingsi listened to Li Zi's somewhat embarrassed answer, and there was no surprise, but looked at Li Zi, handed the wooden sword in his hand to Li Zi, and said slowly: "Lao Dao wants to know, if you use the sword in the future, will it be unfair or refer to the common people?"

Li Zi didn't react to the meaning of Qi Jingsi's words for a while, but looked at Qi Jingsi inexplicably, until he understood the meaning of the words, but he frowned, and he didn't know how to answer after thinking for a long time.

Qi Jingsi stopped making a sound, just waiting for Li Zi to answer.

......

Outside the door, Lao Bai, who was sitting in front of the lock magic well in the view, drinking wine leisurely, seemed to feel something, looked at the hall, suddenly burped, poured another sip of wine, and walked to the door of the view.

The plum in the hall thought as if he was in a fixed state, and after hearing Lao Bai's not light and heavy wine burp, he suddenly sobered up, and his eyes, which were still a little confused just now, had become extremely clear at this moment, and he raised his head straight to look at Qi Jingsi, and said: "The kid learns the sword, and he can't get a sword or two, if he can't get a sword, the kid doesn't force it, even if he hands out the sword in the future, he should be worthy of himself first, and then he will be worthy of the world, just like the kid's senior brother, he will kill the demon at the demon, and there is a realm that can't be healed from time to time, and the kid can't learn." ”

After listening to Li Zi's answer, Qi Jingsi nodded first, shook his head again, looked at Li Zi and said: "The words of the little Taoist friend Lao Dao still have reservations, Lao Dao thinks that since Wudang Sword Dao is a born sword, it is natural to slay the world and kill demons, what do you think?"

Li Zi immediately replied without humility or arrogance: "The kid thinks that the real person thinks it is taken for granted, in the kid's opinion, there is no reason at all, after the kid came down from Wudang Mountain, all the way to here, the injustices encountered, I don't know how many, but the kid never drew his sword, and the kid never stopped, because the kid can't tell the 'injustice', who should be the one who is doing it, try to ask the real person, you have dozens of springs and autumns in the world than the kid, can the real person distinguish, what is the injustice?"

Qi Jingsi looked at the plum in a daze, and suddenly laughed, and the plum was confused for a while, so he could only sit quietly with his eyes and nose and heart.

After laughing, Qi Jingsi stretched out his old hands, straightened out the wrinkles of the dirty clothes on his body, and said, "Little Daoist friends, do you know the origin of the Demon Temple?"

"The kid has heard people say that he knows that the Demon Fortress was built for the heroic souls of the city who died in Suizhou City back then. Li Zi replied.

Qi Jingsi listened to this answer that everyone knew, but shook his head and said: "The things of the year have been back then, and then all kinds of things have long been made by the sword at the gate of the city, but this view of the construction has nothing to do with those, can you know who made that sword?"

Li Zi replied honestly: "It seems to be done by the immortals of Wudang Mountain." After looking at Qi Jingsi, he added: "I also heard what people said." ”

Qi Jingsi said with a dumb smile: "This time I heard it right, but this is not an immortal, but a Taoist priest, do you know who it is?"

Li Zi shook his head when he heard this, and looked at Qi Jingsi curiously, but Qi Jingsi turned around and did not answer, but took out a sword box from his back, handed it to Li Zi, and said: "Actually, I was waiting for Xiao Daoyou to come today, I originally wanted to change this peach wood sword on your body, but after hearing those answers from Xiao Daoyou, Lao Dao will know that you are most likely unwilling." As he spoke, he looked at the plum.

Li Zi, who took the sword box, heard Qi Jingsi's words, nodded while hesitating whether to return the sword box.

And Qi Jingsi was not disappointed after seeing Li Zi's affirmation, and then said: "Little Daoist don't worry, no matter how shabby the old Dao is, he will not exchange this sword box for your wooden sword, but since you don't change it, then the old Dao won't take out what you want to exchange." ”

Li Zi suddenly came to his heart, and looked at Qi Jingsi suspiciously, not understanding why he was given a sword box.

But seeing Qi Jingsi's face suddenly look ashamed, he said slowly: "This sword box is not for you, I want to transfer it to Xiao Daoyou, and it can be regarded as the old way to return it to Wudang, if it is a talent, the old Tao may give you the sword box tomorrow, but now, the old Tao will directly hand it over to you, and it should be too late." With that, he pointed to the door with his left hand and made a gesture of please.

Just after Qi Jingsi finished speaking, Li Zi's face had changed greatly, and he instantly picked up the sword box and rushed out of the door.

Before he ran out of the door, Qi Jingsi's last question came from behind him: "Xiao Daoyou really hasn't learned the Tao?"

Li Zi, who only cared about running, just stretched out a hand, shook it, and then ran wildly towards the outside of the view.

Qi Jingsi just looked at the figure of Li Zi running out and muttered to herself: "It's not like, it's really not like it." ”

......

Li Zi, who ran out of the gate of the hall, continued to rush towards the gate of the temple without stopping, shouting as he rushed: "Old sir, old sir." ”

Zhaofu, who was still standing at the door, saw Li Zi rushing towards the door with a sword box in his arms, and was about to ask, but Li Zi rushed forward as if he didn't see it.

Zhaofu hurriedly flashed to the side, looked at Li Zi's back, and said loudly: "The old gentleman who came with Daoyou has already left first." ”

I only heard a "thank you", and there was no more Zhaofu, looking ahead strangely.

Fang just entered the door well, why did he come out so panicked now?

Looking at his behavior yesterday, I didn't think I wanted to be a Taoist priest, but when I saw him so flustered today, he was just an ordinary person, how could he be a Taoist priest of Wudang Mountain?

Zhaofu, who was full of doubts in his heart, paused for a while, then turned around and walked towards the main hall, thinking that it was better to ask the master, I really don't know why the master invited him to come into the view and say, is he really going to say?

Before the main hall, he saw Qi Jingsi walk out, bowed down and said, "Master." ”

Qi Jing thought about it, looked at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, and said, "Do you want to ask as a teacher?"

Before Zhaofu could speak, Qi Jingsi continued: "You want to ask him if he is really a Taoist priest of Wudang Mountain, right?"

Zhaofu said at this time: "The disciple doesn't dare to hide it, in fact, after the disciple saw this Taoist friend yesterday, he didn't feel like it, and when he ran away, the disciple felt that he was not." ”

When Qi Jingsi heard this, he seemed to remember a series of actions of Li Zi just now, and immediately laughed: "Don't say it's you, even if you just met the teacher, you don't think he's a Taoist priest of Wudang Mountain, haha, this little Taoist friend is really interesting." ”

Zhaofu stood behind him, but he was shocked in his heart, how many times did the master laugh today?

Qi Jingsi, who was looking at the sky, suddenly turned around, holding a small broken bowl with a gap in his hand, looked at Zhaofu and said: "I originally wanted to exchange this bowl for that little Taoist friend's peach rune wooden sword, but I didn't want to, and I didn't even dare to take it out." As he spoke, he threw the broken bowl at Zhaofu.

Seeing this broken bowl flying towards him, Zhaofu's expression changed greatly, and he hurriedly stepped forward and caught the broken bowl tremblingly, for fear that this inconspicuous broken bowl would break to the ground, and his heart was already overturned.

This small bowl is tattered and tattered, and it will leak when connected to the water, but the master has devoted his whole life to raising it, how could the master use this thing to exchange for the wooden sword that can be seen everywhere on the body of the Taoist priest who doesn't look like a Taoist?

Qi Jingsi said with a smile: "Since you haven't changed it, I will give it to you today as a teacher, and it should be changed, Zhaofu, you have to remember that you can't make mistakes in cultivating the Tao, let alone force it, and you must not be a worthy person in order to be a worthy immortal." ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, just talking to himself as he walked: "Although the poor road is worthy of the name of the immortal master, but the poor road is worthy of the name of Qi Jingsi, hehehe." ”

Zhaofu, who stayed in place, took the broken bowl in his hand in a daze, and vaguely saw that there seemed to be a crack in the gap of the broken bowl, and then looked carefully, and couldn't remember, how many cracks were there just now?
