"Crunch ......"

The carriage bumped on the dirt road in the countryside with a series of sounds, and the young man pouted and lay on the plank with his heart and continued to write the rest of the scriptures with a focused expression, and the girl in another carriage in the distance was holding the warm jade pendant in a daze.

"Oops!"

From the carriage came the exclamation of a little girl in a red jacket.

"Second sister, how old is my eldest sister this year?"

The little girl smiled slyly.

"My eldest sister is twenty-eight years old!"

The younger girl in the flower skirt nodded the forehead of the girl in the red jacket, and her eyes did fall on the eldest sister who was still in a daze.

"More than thirteen years old, cardamom tips in early February. ”

The girl in the flower skirt read the poem lightly.

"Oh, the eldest sister is almost past the cardamom years. ”

The girl in the flower skirt covered her mouth and exclaimed after reading it.

"It's also the age of getting married, no wonder I'm starting to think about spring. ”

"Eldest sister, Sichun!"

"Si Chun!"

The girl in the red jacket shouted loudly like her second sister,

The two little girls in the carriage smiled and leaned back and couldn't straighten their waists, and the eldest sister at the end of the cardamom also came back to her senses and made a mess in the carriage.

"Smack......

"They are all cultivators, how can they talk nonsense!"

The towel girl's cheeks were flushed after making a fuss, and she clenched the warm jade pendant in her hand, and after smacking lightly, she solemnly put it into her arms.

"Aunts and grandmothers have grown up......"

"My eldest niece also wants to get married......

The older driver outside the carriage shook his head and chuckled, slowly picked up the flask hanging from his waist and took a sip, stretching comfortably.

"The head of the family always gave birth to three female dolls, and they chattered that the sect was going to break the inheritance, but the old man, I think that the female doll is very good, and the two big girls are quiet and quiet, so they learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting from literature. ”

"A little girl learns martial arts to inherit the mantle and practice a cold four or five grade women's sword cultivation, if you are lucky enough to achieve a third grade, then the ancestral tomb is smoking, in the future, our Qingcheng sword school and harmony, not like a man thinking about the sword light and sword shadow, the rivers and lakes are famous, and the sect will be carried forward, what a good thing. ”

"In recent days, I heard that the Lingyin Temple in the two unknowable places has been flattened by the imperial court by hiding in the deep mountains, and I am afraid that the rivers and lakes will not be safe in the future. ”

"It's better for the girl's family. ”

"An An guards his own one-acre and three-point land. ”

"The cultivators beat and killed, and the harmony ......"

The old coachman sighed,

"But it's also strange to talk about the group of people, an old monk, a little Taoist, three swordsmen, a swordsman, but just looking at the carriage knows that the cost is expensive, and the materials used to look at the little Taoist priest are also very particular, and I think it is also from the first son of the high-ranking sect, and when it comes to identity, it is barely worthy of my eldest lady. ”

The coachman secretly bowed his head and pondered something.

"Handsome in appearance, good in temperament,"

"Well, a good uncle!"

"This trip back to Qingcheng has to talk to the head of the house, if you can find out the heel of this little Taoist, the old man might as well go to the Taoist temple to ask for a kiss, anyway, there is no reason in the Taoist temple not to get married, not to mention that our Qingcheng Sword Sect has a relationship with Taoism. ”

The coachman patted the long sword on his waist and grinned, as for the chivalrous man beside the little Taoist, he was naturally ignored, and he happened to meet him on the road as a companion along the way.

As for the strength of those people?

scold

In how to say that the old man Qingcheng Sword Sect is one of the thirteen divine swords,

The pinnacle of the four dignified masters,

It can be regarded as one of the best existences in Qingcheng County, and it is also a famous cultivator in the entire Yunyang County, so it is necessary to care about these things?

Now that his eldest niece has reached the age of marriage, he might as well help, change his life experience and find out the life experience of this little Taoist priest openly and secretly.

"Aunties and grandmothers, sit tight. ”

The coachman smiled happily at the thought of this, and looked up at the red glow in the sky, whipping the horsewhip, and now that the city gate was about to close, he had to hurry to go.

"Master, slow down!"

Clouds of smoke and dust rise on dirt roads in the countryside,

Several girls in the carriage didn't care about arguing,

The carriage was filled with the hearty laughter of the coachman.

......

Three quarters of the unitary hour,

A carriage stopped steadily under the gentle slope,

Looking up at the green bricks and green tiles, the dead trees and the sun, a dilapidated Taoist temple is built on the gentle slope, and from a distance, the tiles are broken, several side houses have collapsed, and there are a lot of cobwebs, even the gate has no trace of repair.

"Lord, pilgrims have come!"

A little Taoist priest with clear eyebrows was lying on the eaves bored, and after seeing the heavy carriage stop in front of the Taoist temple, he shouted excitedly.

"Pure mind. ”

The young man stepped out of the carriage and looked up at the painted plaque on the top and whispered, I don't know why I was inexplicably at ease these days, and even the name of the Taoist temple where I stayed was so appropriate.

"Squeak......

"I don't know this layman's surname?"

Moments later,

The wooden door pushed open an old Taoist priest holding floating dust grinned, and looked closely at the blue Taoist robe full of patches, a handful of floating dust was almost bald, and there were only a few white hairs left on the bare wooden pole, but the person did not look like a breeze on his sleeves, and his bones were still the same, but with a bit of the cheesiness of everyone in the market.

"Daoyou?"

The old Taoist priest rubbed his eyes and was surprised after seeing the young man's dress and surrounding temperament, and after his eyes skimmed back to see the birch carriage and the two Liangzhou high-headed horses pulling the cart, he subconsciously rubbed his hands.

"Let's not. ”

The young man looked at the little Taoist priest with clear eyebrows behind the old Taoist priest and was stunned, a little surprised, because the little Taoist priest did not have an Adam's apple, and Fang Cai's shout obviously carried a girl's crisp voice.

"Daoist, is there still a bed in the Taoist temple?"

"If it's late today, I'll wait for a long time,

"I want to come here, and the Taoist can't bear to let me wait for the wind to sleep in the open, right?"

The young man put aside his inexplicable thoughts and asked with a smile, writing the "Tao Te Ching" is very stable for his state of mind, and now he is looking for a view is also in the idea of finding a feeling.

"This ......"

The old Taoist priest looked at the remaining few people behind the young man with a sad expression.

"This is incense money, please accept it. ”

Looking at the dilapidated scene inside through the open door, the young man said clearly, and raised his hand to raise a twenty-tael of official silver and fell steadily into the hands of the old Taoist.

"They are all cultivators. ”

"How does this work?"

Although the old Taoist priest was a little more philistine, he still hesitated.

"Let's buy some food for the girl, and add some clothes. ”

The young man's finger stretched out and lightly touched the tip of the little Daogu's nose, and the latter lowered his head extremely shyly, looking up at this excessively beautiful young man.

"That's what you mean. ”

The old Taoist priest smiled crampedly, stuffed the ingot of silver into the hand of the little Taoist aunt, and stood at the door very politely to open the wooden door for everyone.

The little Dao Gu was also shocked by the arrogance of the young man, felt the heavy weight in her hands, and remembered the appearance of the young man Lang Junlang, and sighed, her little face flushed.

"Fellow Daoist, please!"

The old Taoist priest looked a little embarrassed and said, entering is still a dilapidated appearance, scattered bricks and tiles, falling leaves all over the ground, that is, the statue of Sanqing God enshrined in the main hall is also painted off, mottled traces, but carefully look at the dust on it, someone often cleans, and there are only one big and one small two futons left in front of the statue of the god worshipped, for the Taoist priest to practice and meditate.

There are not many gods enshrined in the Taoist temple, there are only three statues of gods without the prosperity of Daguan, Yuqing Yuan Shi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, Taiqing Daode Tianzun, they also have another name, called Yuan Shi Tianzun, Taishang Laojun and Lingbao Tianzun, Yuan Shi Tianzun is also known as Yuqing Emperor.

And the boundary of Qingcheng County is dominated by Taishang Laojun, because there is a Qingcheng Mountain in this boundary, which is also quite related to the Taoist ancestor in the local legend, although it is not as famous as Wudang Mountain, but it is also the place where Zhong Lingyu is beautiful.

The forests on Qingcheng Mountain are verdant, the mountains and mountains are stacked on top of each other, the winding paths are winding, the ancient view is interesting, there are flying springs, immortals, red rocks, five dragons and four deep tunnels, green onion cages, the dangerous ravines are wonderful, the canyon plank road, the water curtain of the Yuantan River, the waterfall of the Linggu Valley, the highest peak of which is called Laojun Pavilion, can also be regarded as one of the birthplaces of Taoism.

"Fate, wonderful!"

The young man stood in the main hall and looked up at the statue of Taishang Laojun, and subconsciously took out the "Tao Te Ching" that still had ink fragrance in his arms and chuckled, the ancestor of Taoism is this Taishang Laojun, and the name in the mortal world is Li Er.

Daoyou smiled, and the view was a little simpler. ”

The old Taoist priest followed behind him and found the young man looking at the mottled statue with burning eyes, thinking that he was a little dissatisfied, but he also smiled wryly.

"A cultivator doesn't care about mundane things. ”

The young man smiled, and he didn't explain, looking at the statue of Taishang Laojun, he felt extremely relieved and down-to-earth, and even the image of the broken Taoist temple was much better.

"Fellow Daoist, please take a break. ”

"Tell me to go and prepare some food. ”

The old Taoist priest bowed his head and walked outside the main hall, quite worried, he always felt a little sorry for the twenty taels of silver, but where to get some food for those who were not in the village and behind the store, the old Taoist priest was worried and thought about burying his head and walking out.

"Xiao Qing'er, go out for the teacher. ”

"You hurry up and clean up the yard for Daoyou. ”

"Master, Xiao Qing'er wants to eat candy man!"

Xiao Daogu stuffed the silver in her hand into the old Taoist priest's hand without the slightest memory, and then whispered, with a look of anticipation in her cool eyes.

"Gotcha, little ancestor!"

The old Taoist priest glanced at the sky, thinking in his heart that this time he could still catch up before the end of the hour, and the old man who sold sugar in the town might not have closed his stall yet, thinking of the hard-won silver, he shouted at the mule under his crotch and hurried away.

......

In the main hall,

The old monk sat cross-legged by the wooden pillar, for him, he could meditate all night in the wilderness, and there was no requirement for the place to stay......

Xiao Daogu was a little embarrassed to look at everyone's appearance when she entered, and wanted to open her mouth but couldn't find a partner, so she had to stand behind the young man who was making a sound, and her little hand rolled up the hem of her robe and was inexplicably aggrieved.

"Brother Taoist, aren't you tired?"

After a while, there was still silence, and the little girl couldn't hold her breath and pulled the sleeve of the young man's sleeve and said softly.

......

"Brother Daoist, you can stay here tonight. ”

Entering is a neat courtyard, there are still a few small robes with soaphorn incense on the drying rack led by wooden ropes, Xiaodao Aunt hurriedly collected the clothes, pushed open the door, the room is not big and has a faint sandalwood, the bed in front of the young man is washed a little white, it is indeed unusually clean.

The young man lay down with his hands behind his head,

Smelling the pillow and the subtle fragrance, he got up and looked, and there were two small dolls carved by elm pimples at the head of the bed, which was obviously the room where this little Daogu lived.

"Brother Taoist, this is the cleanest room in the temple. ”

Xiao Daogu looked at the young man's surprised expression,

I thought I was very dissatisfied with such a simple environment, and hurriedly explained.

"Well, Xiao Qing'er is good, sleep by yourself. ”

"Brother Taoist, I am used to sleeping in the open air, and it is also excellent to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain in the main hall for a night. ”

The young man touched Xiao Daogu's head and said with a smile, perhaps because of Yu Taoyao, his impression of Xiao Daogu is always much better than that of ordinary people.

"But, this ......"

Xiao Daogu felt such a kissing action and froze in place, and even her mouth trembled slightly.

"Xiao Qing'er,"

"I'll prepare a candle for my Taoist brother. ”

The young man still underestimated the lethality of this skin to the girl, especially after the temperament of the unapproachable person weakened, it became more and more obvious, so he had to look up and smile bitterly.

After speaking, he walked towards the main hall,

Half an hour later, the old Taoist priest packed a lot of food from the restaurant in the town, and uncovered the steaming oil paper, which attracted everyone's index fingers, but the young man just swallowed two steamed buns with water, and did not want to eat anything greasy.

The little Dao Gu on the side saw the sugar man in her heart, and there were little stars twinkling in her eyes, but her eyes still fell on the young man who was writing scriptures from time to time.

"I'm going up the mountain tomorrow,"

"Let's finish writing the first half of the Tao Sutra today. ”

The young man finished gnawing on the steamed buns,

With the faint candlelight, he sharpened his pen and continued the remaining thirty or so chapters of the evening.

"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs. ”

"The saints are unkind, and they regard the people as dogs. ”

"Between heaven and earth, it is like a sign!"

......

The young man muttered in a low voice while putting down his pen, for some reason writing the Tao Te Ching under the statue of the Taishang Laojun is more accessible and extremely mysterious than the thoughts on the carriage.

The flickering fireworks of the candles fell on the paint on the statue with an inexplicable look, and the originally empty eyes were unexpectedly full of divinity in a trance.

"Strange. ”

"It's not confusing. ”

Eyes collide between heads of the head,

The young man actually felt that the statue seemed to be looking at him, it was an indescribable feeling, this world seemed to be far more mysterious than he imagined.
