Chapter 127: The Taoist Heart Lasts in the Moon (Middle)
The wooden man didn't know that the Taoist after this incident always dealt with a little heavier when he encountered a hooligan bully, and when he met a bear child, he always inevitably admonished him to "don't take evil as a small thing".
But before that, he didn't even know what she had been through.
The wooden man saw that everyone had run away, and he was still thinking about those two unfamiliar words, so he had to turn to him and ask: "What does it mean to be happy with fish and water and go to the clouds and rain together?"
"......" The Taoist was silent and asked, "Who told you this?"
The wooden man pointed in the direction where the hooligans fled, "They said they wanted to teach me, but they left before they could teach me, otherwise you can teach me." β
"......" The Taoist turned his face sideways, feeling that his ears were already hot, he pulled out his sword, and said without looking back: "You wait for me, don't go anywhere." β
The wooden man wondered, "Where are you going?"
The Taoist said, "I'll teach them another lesson." β
When the Taoist came back, she hurriedly greeted her, and before she could speak, he waved his hand and said, "Don't ask, there are some things you don't need to know." β
β...... Oh. The wooden man said, "I didn't mean to ask this." β
"And what else do you want to ask?"
"I don't want to ask anything, I just say, let's go home. β
The Taoist heard this word from her mouth for the first time, and was very surprised: "Home?"
The wooden man pointed to the mountain, and the Taoist looked at her quietly, and then was silent for a moment, then suddenly bent his lips, nodded, and said softly: "Yes, home, let's go, let's go home." β
The two of them walked on the mountain path, and the wooden man remembered what those people said about Wanjinnu recognizing his master, and wanted to confirm his relationship with him, so he said, "Master......"
Who would have thought that the words were interrupted before they could be asked, "I am not your master." β
"And who is my master?"
β...... Yourself. β
"And who are you?"
"......" the Taoist opened his mouth and paused, "In short, don't call me master." β
"Yes, master. β
β...... Gu Huan. The Taoist added, "My name." β
"Okay, Master Gu Huan. β
β......β
It didn't make sense left and right, so the Taoist simply changed the subject, "Didn't you say okay and let you wait for me in the house?"
β...... I don't know how to be a useful person, but I don't want to be so useless all the time, and the person who only waits will be discarded in the end. β
β...... Who told you that?"
"Radish essence. β
When the radish essence who followed all the way heard this, he didn't even have time to blame her for lying, so he slapped himself into the soil, and while secretly regretting that he shouldn't have seen this excitement, he exposed a leaf and pretended to be ginseng, but he couldn't hide it from the eyes of the Taoist, and he pulled it out with the soil.
Without coercion and temptation, it confessed all of its own, and by the way, it also squeezed its eyebrows at the Taoist and confessed, "...... We all know that you are suffering, but if you are lonely, lonely and cold, even if you come to us, why do you have to live with such an incomprehensible wooden man!"
"......" The Taoist ignored the wishful thinking of the radish essence and asked, "This is the reason why you tricked her out of the mountain?"
Under the fierce eyes of the Taoist, the radish essence felt that if he said "yes", the next person to be driven out of the mountain would be himself, so he hurriedly remedied: "Fortunately, nothing big happened, you see that she is fine!"
When he thought of those hooligans, he couldn't help laughing: "Against a wooden hair, the mortal now, he is really alive and going back!"
The Taoist glanced at it, "What qualifications do you have to despise mortals, you can't even cultivate a human form." β
It's not that she hasn't cultivated a human form, this human form was given by you, and it's not real. The radish essence dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so he shut it up and said aggrievedly: "Hey, I'm speaking for you!"
The Taoist didn't care about it, and looked at the wooden man, she had already put on all her clothes, but she was all on her own, and with just one glance, she could see that her clothes had many cracks, so she asked, "They tore them?"
She nodded, afraid that he would go back and beat them up again and leave, so she shook her head again and thought for a moment, "There are other people who are." β
The Taoist frowned, "There are others?!"
Before the wooden man could speak, the radish essence smiled first, "Hahaha, speaking of this, Dao Chief, why didn't you teach her to pay for buying things!"
Hearing this, the wooden man came back to his senses, and hurriedly grabbed the corner of the Taoist's sleeve, and gently pushed the things in his arms forward, "By the way, I'm not giving them money yet! They seem to be very angry, let's go back and give money!"
"Hahaha, no wonder even Huangkou Xiaoer said that you are a fool, you are really a fool!" Radish Essence laughed crisply, "They won't be grateful to you if you go to give money now, besides, you won't be beaten so much in vain!"
The Daoist's face changed, and he stared at the wooden man, "You were beaten?"
She nodded.
The Taoist was furious, "I've taught you for many years, but you can't beat the street vendors?"
She was dazed, "Didn't you say that you can't do anything to mortals?"
"I mean, you can't use spells on mortals!
She suddenly realized and nodded, "You can hit people, I remember." β
"......" the Taoist corrected: "It's not that you can hit people, you can fight back." β
She nodded again, "Got it, master." β
The radish essence shook the leaves on his head and expressed his disapproval: "Don't don't, don't, I'll teach our children badly later!"
The Taoist ignored it, and continued to ask the wooden man, "Is there any injury?"
As soon as the words fell, the radish essence laughed out of a chicken cry: "Hahahaha, Dao Chief, you really know how to tell jokes, that's a wooden man, will the wooden man hurt?!
"Seriously, if the skin is really broken, the mortals who beat her and kicked her must not be scared to death when they see it! After all, it is not flesh and blood, but wood!"
The wooden man nodded, and affirmed in the earth-shattering laughter of the turnip spirit, "Yes, the wood doesn't hurt, I don't hurt." β
Looking at the more grim face of the Taoist, she thought for a while and explained: "Don't worry, I have my back to them, and I buried my head in the red, and I haven't been hurt in the conspicuous places, so I shouldn't have scared them." β
β......β
The Taoist raised his hand and touched the back of the wooden man, the originally smooth and soft back was like a rugged mountain road, and there were layers of foreign objects protruding.
This is like someone breaking the back bone, and the weight of the hand can be seen.
Seeing that the Taoist seemed to be solidified, he didn't move for a long time, so he said, "What, is it broken?" Alas, what a big deal, it's a big deal, I'll go to the mountains to help you pick up a few pieces of wood, and then carve another one. β
When the Taoist heard it speak, he turned around, looked at it, and showed a three-point smile without warmth: "So, you pushed her down the mountain, but let her be bullied, all this, have you been watching all this all like this?"
"......" The Taoist had no expression on his face with a smile, and the radish essence didn't even have time to surprise, so it felt the pressure, and it began to drill into the ground again, explaining while drilling: "What can I do, I'm just a chervish! I'm just like your wooden man, just a smart man, besides, everyone is just a neighbor in the mountains, and you can't fight to the death for each other, right?"
The radish spirit looked at the cold eyes that were not moved, they had gathered together to praise these eyes before, but they never thought that they would be pressed by it now and couldn't lift up, and couldn't help but feel aggrieved: "You can't ask me to jump out and then slap their faces with the leaves on my head, right?!"
"Why not?"
...... "Look, is this a human thing, if it could, it would have been made into a dish by a mortal on the table!"
For the first time, the radish essence found that this fairy-like person still had such a ruthless and unreasonable side, and while his heart was very hurt, he hurriedly changed the topic: "Speaking of which, it's not to blame you for not teaching her to understand human feelings, she knows every day that she writes and paints flowers, drinks tea and talks, and mortals don't eat your set!"
Hearing this, the Taoist's gaze became even colder, "You are watching our life?"
"......" The radish essence leaves drooped down, covering the white and chubby body, and made a twisted and shy look, "This, the business of the person you like, how can it be called watching? This is called caring!"
"I don't need that kind of care. β
The radish spirit thought that he was just arrogant and talking, and later, the Taoist proved the truth of this sentence with practical actions.
He set up an enchantment in the mountain hut for ten miles, and drove out all the radish essences in the mountain.
On the day when the radish spirit moved with his family, the Taoist took the wooden man to see him off.
The radish essence was very sad, "We like you so much, you are willing to do this to us?!"
There was still a glimmer of hope left in the other radish essence next to it, and he persuaded him step by step: "Dao Chief, Dao Chief, you take a closer look at us, when we cultivate into human form and keep the water and water spirit, nothing will be worse than this wooden man!"
"Yes, yes, who in nature doesn't know, they are a family of flowers and trees, and it is very difficult to cultivate, I think this wooden man can't cultivate flesh and blood in a few lifetimes!
Seeing that the Taoist was indifferent, and even wanted to laugh, the radish essence had no choice but to look at the wooden man again.
"It is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and everyone lives in this mountain, and it is impossible to say that there is no affection...... Now that we have made mistakes first, we should leave our homeland like this and drift away for the rest of our lives, but we still can't rest assured of him...... You will intercede for us, we will not come to disturb you casually in the future, just ask for a place to stay, and in the future, we will be cautious in our words and deeds, and practice well......"
"......" The wooden man who was rich and affectionate stared at the radish essence with a pair of confused eyes, and then looked at the Taoist.
So the Taoist made his own evaluation of this passage: "You are radish essence, not camellia essence." β
Seeing that the words were ineffective, the radish essence couldn't help but feel ashamed, and secretly sighed sorry for the teachings of the camellia essence next door.
Looking at the radish essences hanging on the leaves on their heads, the Taoist felt that he was really not authentic in doing so, because although this mountain is not big and the aura is not strong enough, it is also the place where this mountain radish grows.
The so-called Tao is natural...... Well, when you meet him, let them be unnatural.
Thinking of this, the Taoist glanced at the wooden man, who understood, raised his hand and waved, which meant to send off a guest.
The turnip spirit was furious, pointed at the wooden man and shouted, "Why are you doing this to us?
After saying so many good words, the Taoist people were unmoved, and when they heard this, they nodded and said with a sincere face: "Yes, so I also watched you leave the place of birth." β
"How can a cultivator have such a revenge mentality?!"
The radish essence looked at the Taoist with hatred of iron and steel, shook his head, sighed, and some of the radish essences looked at the wooden man with jealous eyes, and scolded non-stop.
"You don't know, every time you leave, she waits at the door, no matter the wind, rain or the scorching sun, looking at your coming figure from afar, she begins to clean up herself, the spell you taught, is she the best pure art? I didn't push her down the mountain, I just wanted her to find something to do, otherwise she would grow mushrooms sooner or later if she went on like this!"
In the end, the radish essence put away its last stubbornness and left without looking back.
After walking a long way, it stopped, and finally waited for the little brother to find out the news, and it hurriedly asked: "How is it, has he been moved, has he regretted it, and has he called us back?"
The little radish replied with difficulty: "No, he didn't say anything for a moment, and then asked the wooden man to sit down, and he took off her ...... with his hands."
When the radishes heard this, their eyes lit up with excitement, and they hurriedly surrounded them, squeezing the little brother so that he couldn't speak.
The carrot spirit pulled it out, and then it continued: "He took off her shoes and looked at her feet, as if to check if there were mushrooms growing long, and I saw that he was relieved, and the two went back side by side." β
β...... That's it?"
"That's it?"
The radish spirits were disappointed.
After a while, the radish spirit looked back at the mountain forest where it had grown and let out a long sigh.
"He really believed it?"
"Didn't he forget, he used spells to build and grease to shape, she is no longer simple wood!"
"Let's go, let's go, we're not going to play. β
"I hope he will practice for many years, and don't fall short for her. β
The turnip essence never thought that she would be able to say a prophecy, but until then, the Taoist people listened to the words of the radish essence, and soon after they left, they also packed up their salutes and went down the mountainβthe Taoist decided to take her into the world.
