The old Taoist priest of the concept of eternal life

Most of the mountains are made of pine trees, and even in autumn, they are still full of greenery.

An old Taoist priest was carrying firewood on his back, his Taoist robe was also tattered, and his beard was white and long, which looked a little messy. He walked forward step by step with firewood on his back, winter was coming, and he had to prepare some firewood.

He walked forward step by step, beads of sweat on his forehead, panting heavily. It seemed that he was really tired, and when he saw a big stone about waist height on the side of the road, he put the firewood rack on his shoulder on the stone, exhaled heavily, wiped the sweat from his forehead, supported the firewood, and rested. (Firewood rack: a kind of appliance for carrying firewood, carried on the shoulder, ** commonly used in rural areas in the decade)

"Two bastards, one person carrying firewood, three people roasting the fire. He seemed to have some imbalance in his heart, and said angrily, but after resting for a while, he still picked up the firewood on his shoulders and walked towards the ruined temple deep in the mountains.

He was like an ordinary old man, forced by life, and he had to come out to work when he was old. Especially a few decades ago, at the end of the former dynasties, there were often charcoal sellers and firewood sellers who carried carbon from door to door in the cold winter, but they were reluctant to burn some carbon for heating.

At that time, it was much more important to have a stutter than to have a fire to warm up. However, now the Holy Dynasty is quite prosperous, and the charcoal sellers and firewood sellers have gradually disappeared. However, the old Taoist priest is not forced by life.

The old Taoist priest gasped and struggled to carry the firewood. The mountain road is already rugged, and it is a bit difficult to get older. Every time he walked for a while, he felt the beads of sweat on his forehead fall, and his head was a little dizzy, so he could only find a place to rest. Suddenly, he was stunned, then his face changed, he took a deep breath, the breeze under his feet suddenly appeared, the shabby robe was blown by the wind, the corners of his clothes were slightly raised, and then he stood in the air, lifted the firewood rack that made him tired and panting before, and walked towards the familiar ruined temple. At this time, where did he still look old and tired before.

In an instant, he carried the firewood that had just tired him and fell to the ruined temple.

As soon as he threw the firewood to the temple gate, he entered this ruined temple that had no incense for a long time, two rows of houses, one of which had a roof of tiled houses that leaked most of it, and when it rained or snowed, the water in the house was full.

The three old Taoist priests didn't bother to take care of it, anyway, there was a row of tiled houses to live in. Moreover, the three apprentices were also lazy, in order to prevent the apprentices from coming in and grabbing the house to live, the three old Taoist priests basically did not let the apprentices stay in the Broken Taoist Temple for a long time. If there is something to do, call the apprentices back, and let them wander outside if they have nothing to do.

The old Taoist priest dropped the firewood and walked to the temple, which just blocked an old and dilapidated plaque, with only three words on the plaque.

"The concept of immortality. ”

The old Taoist priest shouted when he entered the door, "What, the two dead old men still don't allow me to look at my apprentices? ”

There are also two old Taoist priests in the Taoist temple, one old Taoist priest is wearing a hurried Taoist robe, his body is much thinner than the other two, and his silver-white beard is also neatly groomed, which is quite a sense of fairy wind and bones. With this dress and feeling, go to a Taoist temple with incense, even if you don't be worshipped, this temperament is more than enough to be a hall owner.

The other old Taoist priest was a little short and fat, and he was also wearing a shabby Taoist robe, rubbing his hands constantly, and he was angry. This autumn and winter season, it is really a little cool.

The old Taoist priest came in and looked at the emaciated old Taoist priest in a clean Taoist robe, bowed his head slightly, and shouted, "Senior Brother Qu." Then he looked at the short and fat old Taoist priest and shouted, "Senior brother." ”

The three old Taoist priests nodded to each other, and the fat Taoist priest asked the Taoist priest who had just come in to carry firewood: "Senior brother, have you brought the firewood back?"

The Taoist priest snorted coldly, nodded, and then said, "Don't worry, none of our three senior brothers will suffer losses." You go to cook, senior brother washes clothes, I look for firewood, I will definitely not be lazy. ”

The fat Taoist priest glanced at the two senior brothers and said with a smile: "Don't be lazy, let's wear dirty clothes at the two times? Don't be lazy, you and the senior brother will not be as fat as me? Don't be lazy, in winter, the senior brother and I will be frozen like grandsons?"

As soon as these words came out, the two old Taoist priests looked at the fat Taoist priest.

The fat Taoist priest laughed dryly and hurriedly said, "Okay, don't talk about it." ”

"Seriously, the three little ones came back, why didn't they wait for me to get there and sent them away. ”

When Daoist Qu heard this, he glanced at his second junior disciple and said lightly: "The Great Competition of the Six Sects is about to begin, and the rules set by the Sword Pavilion back then must be attended, at least to help open the seal of Fengwu Mountain." ”

"We have two Nine Dragon Talismans in Shushan, one in the former Dynasty Ji Clan, and two in the Holy Emperor's hand, and some time ago he sent troops to Yuezhou for the Nine Dragon Talismans. Now that five of the nine have appeared, one of the four Nine Dragons Fu Fengwu Mountain under his body is known to the whole world, there should be one in the Demon Dao, and the remaining two have no trace. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at his two juniors.

"We haven't found one of Fengwu Mountain for hundreds of years, although my Immortal View is now in a state of seclusion, but you and I know the secret of the Nine Dragons Fu. This matter is a matter of the world and thousands of human races. So, we have to get involved. ”

The Taoist who came back with firewood looked at his senior brother and hurriedly said, "What does that senior brother mean......"

Seeing that the senior brother and the junior brother did not speak, the Taoist continued: "But these six sects are divided into four realms, sesame, mung beans and wood are all small grandmasters, and the three of us have already passed the realm of grandmasters, even if the three of them win, we don't have more time to find it!"

The Daoist surnamed Qu, the senior brother among the three shook his head with a smile and looked at the fat Daoist.

"Naturally, we don't want this hot potato, but we can't let the Nine Dragon Talisman appear, or appear in the hands of the Reclining Buddha Temple or Shushan. ”

The old Taoist priest who came back with firewood was a little puzzled, looking at his senior brother and junior brother.

"I understand that this Reclining Buddha Temple can't take this Nine Dragons Talisman, but why can't Shushan get it?"

The fat Taoist priest shook his head and patted his round belly.

"What happens when you put all your eggs in one basket?"

The old Taoist priest shook his head and looked at his senior brother and junior brother suspiciously.

"If I overturn the basket......" Before the fat Taoist priest finished speaking, he immediately understood.

If the world knows that Shushan has three Nine Dragon Talismans, they are afraid that it will become the target of the public, they do not doubt the strength of Shushan, but they are not afraid of the thief's hand, they are afraid that the thief will remember, if it is a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents.

It turned out that the Holy Dynasty was forced by that person's pressure to send one to Qingchi Feng for safekeeping, Gu Buya framed his senior brother and obtained one, and in the end he died and didn't find it, but everyone knew that the Nine Dragons Talisman must also be in Shushan. If Shushan gets another one this time, I'm afraid that there will be a demon clan who will make a desperate bet and attack Shushan with all their might.

Qu Dao people said this, not only for Shushan, but also for the Nine Dragon Fu.

"But if you send three disciples out, you may not be able to stop it. Moreover, after looking for so long, I haven't found it, and this Nine Dragons Talisman may not appear this year. ”

The old Taoist priest surnamed Qu looked at his junior brother and sighed: "A few days ago, news came from Tianji Pavilion, and the old guy there was sure that this Nine Dragon Talisman would definitely appear this year. ”

"It's better to believe it than to believe it!"

The Taoist surnamed Qu sighed and looked at the two junior disciples who were quite surprised.

"I've been making a decision, so I'm telling you now. ”

The two Taoist priests looked at their senior brother, completely puzzled and confused.

Although the three brothers said that there was a division of labor and quarrels in their lives, whenever there was a major event, the three brothers were like one and did not distinguish each other.

The Taoist surnamed Qu waved his hand and said, "What to see, it's just that I'm old and forgot to tell you earlier!" After finishing speaking, he smiled as usual.

When the two junior brothers saw the appearance of the senior brother, they were relieved.

"So, this time I plan to go to Fengwu Mountain in person. ”

As soon as these words came out, the two junior brothers were stunned again.

The old Taoist priest surnamed Qu lowered his head, looked at the clean clothes on his body, and then lowered his head and stared at his toes. The shoes on his feet were also clean, while the second junior brother who carried firewood on his back was wearing a pair of straw sandals with a tattered and dirty robe, which looked like a begging for food, and his own junior brother was similar, wearing a pair of cloth shoes with his big toe exposed.

"Back then, we were sorry for Ah He, so we collected sesame seeds, mung beans and wood. This time, Ah He will definitely go, the last time the second child went, this time the senior brother will call the shots, and the senior brother will go and see. In addition, if you look at the two of you, it seems that you can escape from the wilderness, so senior brother goes, I guarantee that I will not weaken the name of my immortal concept. If the Nine Dragons Talisman appears, it will also ensure the ownership of the Nine Dragons Talisman. ”

When the two junior disciples heard that this reason was reasonable, they were completely relieved.

"If you don't say it sooner, I can cook less. ”

"Yes, I can carry less firewood. By the way, go out this time and come back with two clean robes. You do the laundry, but you always only wash yourself, and we don't care much. Anyway, you're going out, and you'll have to pay us two new robes. ”

When the Taoist surnamed Qu heard this, he immediately agreed happily.

"However, this time I just quietly followed the sesame seeds, mung beans and wood, and if there were no accidents, I guess I would have come back before them. ”

When the two junior disciples heard this, they waved their hands and said, "Okay, I know." You still have so much nonsense in an Open Heaven Realm, if you want to go, hurry up, don't forget the new Dao robe. ”

The old Taoist priest surnamed Qu looked at the boring wave of his hand, and the two junior disciples who were scattered reluctantly showed a smile on his face, so he tied up his usual wooden sword and went down the mountain with the wooden sword on his back.

He walked down the mountain, walking very slowly, as if he wanted to keep this broken Taoist temple and every grass and tree on the mountain in his heart forever.

There were still some things he hadn't told his two juniors.

In addition to the news that the Nine Dragons Talisman was about to come out, Tianji Pavilion also flew a jade talisman from an extremely far away, and the old Taoist priest surnamed Qu caught the light, and after reading the contents of it, the jade talisman turned into ashes.

There were only two sentences in the jade talisman, and the two sentences were more like proverbs.

The first sentence: "Ah and die." ”

The second sentence: "Solution: life for life." ”

The old Taoist priest surnamed Qu went down the mountain, glanced at the mountain where he had been for most of his life, looked in the direction of the broken Taoist temple, and then smiled, turned his head and strode forward.

"Ah He, Master was sorry for you back then, but this time, Master will not be afraid anymore. ”
