Chapter 158 Good as water
Xuanxu Dao Chief's words were like thunder, which made Shen Yuan's scalp suddenly tingle!
He lowered his head, not daring to let Xuan Xuan see the panic on his face.
But he forced himself to be calm and said: "The words of the seniors, the juniors really don't understand." ”
Xuan Xuan stroked his beard and smiled, and said: "You don't have to panic, you have seen this Northern Immortal Sword Poor Dao, it is the thing of Gongye Dao Brother, back then Poor Dao and he also traveled to Xiangyang together, and he got this Northern Underworld Sword with him in the sword mound, Gongye Dao Brother is very precious, how can it be in your hands now?"
Shen Yuan didn't know how to answer, he only thought in his heart that there was a bit of truth or falsehood in the Xuan Xuan words, after all, he wanted to save the murderous demon in the mouths of everyone, if this old way in front of him was deliberately tricking himself, wouldn't he be throwing himself into the net?
However, Shen Yuan thought about it for a while, and said secretly: "The Northern Immortal Sword doesn't even know the people of the Huashan Sect, how can this Xuanxu Dao Elder know it, and can he tell where this sword came from! Could it be that the Xuanxu Dao Leader is a friend and not an enemy, and he is really a friend of the stinky old man? But when the stinky old man told me about the origin of this sword, he didn't mention that it was a ...... with Xuanxu."
At this time, Xuanxu Daoist pondered for a moment, and then said: "It is rumored that Brother Gongye saved a child thirteen years ago, but you?"
Shen Yuan knew that if he continued to hide this matter, it would be meaningless, so it was better to simply admit it.
How can Gongyehe's apprentice be said to be cowardly, and how can he be looked down upon?
So Shen Yuan straightened his back, looked directly at Xuanxu and said: "Yes, Gongye He is my master, I am here to save him, Xuanxu Daoist, I respect you for the martial arts master, and speak directly with you." If you have some friendship with my master, don't stop me, and if you have a holiday with my master, then don't blame the juniors for being disrespectful to the Taoist!"
Xuan Xuan smiled and said: "Sure enough, there are apprentices who are masters, and they are so polite." Brother Gongye really received a good apprentice. Don't worry, I'm here to Kongtong for Brother Gongye, but the poor Dao is already old, and he has lost the vigor of the year, so I have to hope that these fellow martial artists can sell the old man a thin face and leave the life of Brother Gongye!
"Doesn't the Daoist think that my master is a murderer?"
Shen Yuan was still skeptical and didn't dare to be gullible.
"Adversary, not really. ”
Xuanxu stroked his beard and said: "Brother Gongye Dao is not a murderous person, in his opinion, he is just a demon killer and a guardian of the Dao. Those who died under his sword all had bad habits and evil deeds, some of them did not deserve death, and some of them were intolerable by heaven! Poor Dao knew how many people had received the kindness of Brother Gongye, but all of them were golden, and the three of them became tigers, alas, the blame was only for Brother Gongye Daoist being too paranoid and too simple! But he forgot that people are divided into two sides, and good and evil go hand in hand. ”
With a sigh, Xuanxu Daoist said again: "I heard that Brother Gongye Dao is now suffering from madness and hysteria, and it is difficult to say that it is not retribution, since God has not taken the life of Brother Gongye Dao over the years, Poor Dao thinks of the old feelings, and he wants to stand up and persuade him, leaving Brother Dao's life, which can be regarded as conforming to the will of heaven." ”
Hearing this, Shen Yuan immediately bowed deeply and said, "Senior Shen Yuan, thank you Xuanxu Dao Chief!"
"It doesn't have to be this way,"
Xuanxu gently squeezed, but Shen Yuan couldn't bow down anymore, only listened to Xuanxu and said, "Since Xiangyang said goodbye to the year, in a hurry for fourteen years, Poor Dao has never seen Brother Gongye Dao again, what has happened over the years, Xiaoyou, please tell me about it." ”
Shen Yuan was about to nod his head in agreement, when suddenly his stomach rang out a little uncontrollably: "Goo......"
Shen Yuanden blushed a little at the time, and said: "The junior just wanted to eat a bowl of mutton steamed buns to fill his stomach, and he didn't want to meet these unreasonable people of the Kunlun faction. ”
Xuanxu Dao Chang looked at the sky, and suddenly secretly lucked in his belly, and then heard a stomach rumbling, only to see that Shen Yuan was a little stunned, and then the old and the young laughed nonstop.
Shen Yuan said: "The younger generation knows that a mutton steamed bun tastes good, and I want to try it, so the Taoist may as well go with me!"
Gongyehe is also a Taoist priest, and wine and meat are not taboo, that is because Gongyehe has broken away from the sect and has long been unconcerned about these rules and precepts, so Shen Yuan still thinks that the elderly Taoist priests can eat and drink as much as Gongyehe wants.
But I only heard Xuan Xuan smile and said, "Let's go, just go to the restaurant you said." ”
Not far away, the two of them entered the restaurant together, greeted the guys who came to the store, Shen Yuan said: "Man, I have a bowl of mutton steamed buns with this chief, come up quickly!"
The young man hesitated a little and said, "Guest officer, are you sure it's one bowl per person?"
Shen Yuan was puzzled and said, "You little guy, are you saying that your family's mutton steamed buns are not enough for one person and one bowl?"
"No, no, you misunderstood!"
The young man hurriedly explained, "The little one wants to ask, can the Taoist chief also get such meat?"
I only heard Xuanxu Dao say: "Exactly, the little brother only needs to give me two buns and a pot of tea." ”
Shen Yuan blushed a little and asked, "Dao Chief, you can't eat meat?" But when I saw my master when I was a child, he was not afraid of wine and meat!"
"Brother Dao is a master, how can he care about these rules and precepts?"
Xuan Xuan seemed to be very smiling and close to people, only to hear him suddenly lower his voice and say: "It's just that Poor Dao is the head of Wudang, so it's not good to take the lead in breaking the ring!"
Then he looked left and right, pretending to be mysterious: "Don't hide it from Xiaoyou, when I traveled with your master, Brother Dao had to coax me to drink wine and eat meat, I told him, I am not a monk, and I can't use meat to make excess! But he only said one word, and I ate meat and drank wine! Guess what your master said?"
Shen Yuan blinked, raised his interest, and came up and said, "What do you say?"
Xuan Xuan couldn't help shaking his head, and opened his mouth to praise: "Brother Gongye's realm is too high, he said, the Dao Buddha family, who is not the degree! Hahaha! Shen Yuan Xiaoyou, don't tell outsiders, especially my disciples and grandchildren of the Wudang Sect, otherwise there will be no place for Lao Dao's face!"
"Master always speaks amazingly, but the younger generation didn't expect it, just by one sentence......"
Shen Yuan wanted to laugh but couldn't make a sound, so he had to cover his mouth, and his face was red.
"Shh
The Xuanxu Daoist pretended to be serious, and then instructed: "Don't make a noise! Remember, remember!"
Shen Yuan arched his hand, forced a smile, and said seriously: "The juniors know!"
Xuanxu laughed naughtily, and called Shen Yuan like a spring breeze, and it can be seen from this that Xuanxu Dao is long and humble like a valley, and the sea is a hundred rivers, which is really highly respected! It also made Shen Yuan admire, and at the same time couldn't help but secretly say: "No wonder you can have the same temper as the stinky old man, and it's not like those people in the Huashan faction, hum!"
Suddenly, Shen Yuan remembered a sentence in the "Tao Te Ching": "Goodness is like water, and water benefits all things without fighting." ”
It is really suitable to use these words to say that Xuanxu Dao is long.
At this time, Xuanxu's face was straight, and he said: "While the meal is not served, Xiaoyou might as well talk to Lao Dao about what has happened over the years?
Shen Yuan sighed and told Xuanxu Dao what had happened over the years.
After a while, a layer of oil curdled on the mutton soup noodles on the table, and the hot white buns no longer emitted heat.
After telling the story, the Xuanxu Daoist was also embarrassed, and said with shame: "If I hadn't gone back to the mountain to retreat, I would have been able to take care of Gongye Daoist Brother more than I wanted, so that your master and apprentice would not have lived so miserably." ”
Looking at Shen Yuan, Xuan Xuan sighed secretly, and said, "The poor Taoist relies on the old man to persuade you, I don't know if the little friend would like to listen to it?"
"Don't dare, the juniors will listen to you!"
Xuan Xuan pondered slightly and said: "The friendship between Yuan Bin and Ling Tang is a friend of life and death, which is admirable. However, this tragedy is inherently caused, and it is not Yuan Bin's fault. Xiaoyou let Yuan Bin go many times, because Xiaoyou is kind and knows right and wrong, although he is unforgiving, he can't do it at all. The revenge of the revenge will be avenged, as for Yuan Bin, it is better to let it go, I want to come to Lingtang and his wife under Jiuquan, and I don't want to see you go astray. ”
Shen Yuan wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, what Xuan Xuan said spoke to his heart everywhere, so he had to nod, and then shook his head again.
Xuan Xuan smiled and said, "Persistence is a good thing, as long as you use it in the right place." It doesn't matter, no one can easily say let it go, it's better like this, when you kill He Youdao, it's not too late to think about whether Yuan Bin wants to kill him. ”
Shen Yuan gradually pondered, and the Xuanxu Daoist did not bother, but only called the store, and the bowl of mutton soup in front of him was hot again, and he broke the steamed bun and ate it slowly.
After a while, the reheated mutton soup was served, and Shen Yuan silently broke the bun into the bowl, and then only heard him raise his head, as if he had let go of something, and said easily: "It's okay." ”
After the two of them had eaten, Shen Yuan suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "Daoist Chief, you are alone when you come to Kongtong this time?"
Xuan Xuan asked rhetorically: "Otherwise, how many people can there be?"
"When the younger generation sees those big heads traveling, there are more or less people accompanying them......
Xuan Xuan smiled: "Isn't your young master of Qingyun Village also a person?"
Shen Yuan sneered.
Xuan Xuan shook his head, full of disgust and said: "With those disciples and grandchildren, it's too uncomfortable, it's too annoying to go here and there, so before I came out, I let them retreat and practice in the mountains, or go down to the mountains to farm, so that they don't have to buzz in their ears all the time, which makes people annoyed." ”
Shen Yuan's question reminded Xuan Xuan Xuan and said, "Why don't you go up the mountain with me and be my disciple!"
Shen Yuan was overjoyed and arched his hand: "The younger generation has this intention!"
"Don't rejoice too soon. ”
Xuan Xuan waved his hand and said, "The so-called Demon Slaying Conference is still a few days away, and before the poor Dao persuades you, you must not act rashly, so as not to invite disaster." ”
Shen Yuan asked, "What if they don't listen to persuasion?"
Xuan Xuan said: "If everyone is happy, of course, it is the best, but if the poor road is not good, you can only let you do it, but remember, don't be reckless! Remember, remember." ”
Shen Yuan said goodbye: "Thank you, Dao Chief!" read the latest chapter of the "Nine-Character Sword Sutra Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
