In the ruined temple, a clay statue that has long been dilapidated stands quietly, and the messy offering platform is also spotless at this time. Although the clay sculpture is broken, it has its own party that is heroic and upright, not angry and self-righteous.

At this time, Hu Man'er was kneeling in front of the clay sculpture, with a solemn expression. Wu Daozi stood in front of the Sanqing clay sculpture. A robe is even more fairy-like.

Wu Daozi stretched out his hand to pick up the three incense sticks placed on the table, and the fingertips of his right hand instantly ignited a flame of true qi, and slowly lit the incense in his hand until the slightest smoke floated on the incense head.

Turning around silently, Wu Daozi inserted the incense into the incense burner placed on the desk. There are words in the mouth: "Burning incense and worshiping ancestors, the way of heaven is leisurely." Preach and teach, sit in the sky. Today's disciple Wu Daozi has formed a good fate, and wants to accept disciples to preach, and from then on carry forward the foundation of the Tao, and wish the ancestor to preach the Tao. Then he turned to look at Hu Man'er and shouted:

"Worship the sky. ”

Hu Man'er bowed his head leisurely and got up slowly.

"Say goodbye to Sanqing. ”

Hu Man'er kowtowed again.

"Three worship to the patriarch. ”

Wu Daozi nodded and motioned for Hu Man'er to get up.

After not seeing any movement from Hu Man'er for a long time, Wu Daozi stepped forward to help, and when Hu Man'er looked up, he burst into tears. Wu Daozi was moved when he saw this, and felt that this son's heart was simple. Stretched out his hand and touched Hu Man'er's hair, and said softly: "Disciple, the ceremony is done." Get up. ”

Hu Man'er wiped the tears on her face, suddenly felt cordial, and called the master softly. But he didn't get up. Wu Daozi was suspicious, turned his head to look at him and asked, "Why don't you get up yet?"

"Master, legs, legs are numb. ”

As soon as Wu Daozi heard this, he didn't need to say much, he naturally knocked down a chestnut, and the Wanqing flower branches next to him trembled, covering his mouth and smiling. then pulled up Hu Man'er and the two ran to the side, talking and laughing, a pair of talented women.

Wu Daozi slowly walked to the gate of the broken temple and looked up at the sky, and the wind blew from the sky and blew across Wu Daozi's face. A sly smile on the old face was fleeting.

At noon, the three of them packed up and left the ruined temple. Hu Man'er took the initiative to carry all his bags. Although it is a bag, it is just two packages and a few changes of clothes. It's not very heavy. Hu Man'er was overjoyed in her heart, and she ran to Wu Daozi's side and asked, "Master, where are we going next?"

Wu Daozi turned his head to look at him, then looked down at Hu Man'er's feet, and said disdainfully: "Go to the market." ”

"What are you doing at the bazaar?" asked Hu Man'er, scratching his head.

"Buy shoes. Wu Daozi glanced at him with disdain again.

Hu Man'er immediately understood, looked down at the toes exposed outside the straw sandals, and couldn't help but be moved in his heart, and his eyes were red again.

Hearing this, Wanqing also ran over and said, "And your broken sword, throw it away quickly." As he spoke, he reached for his sword.

Hu Man'er hurriedly put the sword in front of him and pouted, "Don't, two taels of silver." ”

Wanqing was speechless, stopped and pinched her waist with both hands and scolded angrily: "You money fan." ”

Laiqian, who was squatting on Hu Man'er's shoulder, also felt the same way, squeaking, and kept slapping his thighs.

At this time, the sky is full of sunshine and cloudless. It seems that this is also the case in Hu Man'er's heart. It's been a long time.

After buying shoes, Hu Man'er took Wanqing's hand and played around. Look at this and that, look at the street juggling for a while, and applaud. Browse the grocery store for a while.

The crowded temple fair is so lively. Wu Daozi silently followed behind the two, watching them cheer and cheer, and couldn't help but sigh that time flies, and time is like an arrow. Once upon a time when I was like this...... Momentarily confused.

It was already evening after visiting the temple fair, and it was about to get dark. The three of them walked into an inn, and the three big characters "Fulaiju" were written on the door curtain. There was a couplet posted on the left and right, and Wan Qing stepped forward to stop and read it out loud.

"All the lakes and the whole world are friends, and it is in vain to go in all directions. Horizontal batches of visitors are guests. This couplet is really atmospheric. ”

Immediately, the three of them entered the inn and called Xiao Er to ask, there was really a room. So I had to go down to two ordinary rooms and stayed for one night that night. Hu Man'er naturally lives with the master.

At night, when the three of them cleaned up, Hu Man'er consciously called hot water for the master to wipe his face. Wu Daozi was happy when he saw Hu Man'er's busy figure. The heart is really wrong. Immediately, he grabbed the busy Hu Man'er and said, "Man'er, don't be busy yet." It doesn't hurt to rest for a while, and you have something to say for the teacher. ”

When Hu Man'er saw that the master stopped him, he sat down with the master, and he sat aside and asked, "If the master has anything, just tell the man to do it." ”

"Since you worship me as a teacher, the master will naturally preach and teach. When I entered my sect as a teacher, I want to tell you about the current Haoran world, and you also know the faction you are in. Wu Daozi taught carefully.

"Master, you said I listened. Hu Man'er carefully poured a cup of tea for the master as she spoke.

"Have you ever heard the story of the battle between good and evil in front of the five hundred?" Wu Daozi asked as he took a sip of the tea in his cup.

"I've heard of it, but I've only heard of Mr. Storyteller mentioning it. The futile only thought it was an apocryphal story. Hu Man'er replied.

"That's true, so I'll start at the beginning...... Five hundred years ago, there was a man who came out of the wilderness and led thousands of demons to bring disaster to the world. No one knows who he is or where he was born. I only know that all the demons worship him as their king. No one has ever seen what he looks like. I only know that his Tao is through the sky, and no one in the world can match it, and the world is in chaos. Not to mention the major righteous sects, even the poor people are miserable. In just a few years, ruins and broken walls can be seen everywhere, and corpses are everywhere. The various sects decided to join forces to fight it, but still no one could stop him. For a while, people were panicked, and they talked about the tiger's color change. ”

Wu Daozi's heart was full of anger when he said this, and he felt pity for the people in the world, so he clenched his fists. There was a moment of silence.

"And then?" Hu Man'er asked when he saw that the master was speechless.

"I'm fortunate to see you. Give the world a book of contemplation of the Tao for the world to contemplate, enlighten, and practice the Tao. Punish the evil and promote the good, and save the world from fire and water. I sent the patriarch to help the world and the Taoist ancestor was fortunate to get this Taoist book, understand the avenue, and ascend to the immortal in one step. Alone with a sword, he broke into the wilderness and fought the heroes. How fast one man and one sword. Wu Daozi said this, his eyes were full of awe and pleasure, and he stroked his slightly white beard and continued.

The demon soldiers were frightened and panicked, and fled in all directions. How chic. Until the Demon Lord personally intervened against Dao Ancestor. The two are evenly divided. This fighting method is shocking and crying ghosts and gods. It lasted for months. The surrounding mountains and rivers are flat, and the forests are destroyed......" may be a little aftertaste, Wu Daozi took another sip of tea in his hand.

In the end, Dao Ancestor saw that he couldn't tell the winner if he continued to fight, so he used his own life as a medium to prove his own way and save the people. With immeasurable supernatural powers, he sealed the Demon Lord under the Savage Eternal Spring. Wu Daozi paused for a moment and continued.

"So far, the world is peaceful, and the demons don't dare to make too many mistakes. And no one ever saw the book of the Tao again. Until nearly a hundred years, there were people who had good and strange sects who predicted that the Guandao Book would reappear and the demon army would make a comeback. For a while, people were panicked. All the major sects are sending people to search around. The sect that takes the lead in winning the register will naturally become the leader of the righteous path and rule the world. Wu Daozi talked eloquently. There seemed to be disdain on his face, and there seemed to be anger.

"Then Master, are you ...... too?" Hu Man'er asked in a low voice.

"As a teacher, I have traveled all over the world over the years, and naturally I have also obtained the Taoist book. But being a teacher is not for some bullshit leader, but for the evil devil who is about to make a comeback. I don't want the people in the world to encounter difficulties again. Wu Daozi said solemnly.

"Master, you said that there are various sects, aren't there other factions?" Hu Man'er listened carefully and seemed to have an understanding, and took the initiative to ask at the moment.

"That's natural, there are many gate valves in the righteous path, but there are still big and small. Lingxiao Temple, Luoxia Valley, Tianfu County, and the four major schools of Lichen Temple are among the leaders. There are also a lot of heroes in its gate valve. We are the ones who watch from the sky. I sent with Luoxia Valley, the Dust Temple. It has been a great sect for hundreds of years, and only Tianfu County is a new force that has only risen in the past hundred years. In fact, it is a well-known fact that Tianfu County belongs to a mountain force supported by today's son. It's just that no one wants to find out. ”

"Son of Heaven, now that the Holy Lord is already the king of a country, why do you still support the forces on the mountain?" asked Hu Man'er with some puzzlement.

"Hmph, in my opinion, most of them are just small-bellied chicken intestines, not that we mountain people are greedy for his high position. Wu Daozi replied with some disdain.

Hu Man'er nodded, as if he understood.

"Although it is said that all factions work together to fight against demons, they also have their own ghosts. After all, people will have selfish desires, so the open and secret battles between factions and lords are naturally countless. Man'er must remember that there is no evil in the world, and the most evil is the human heart" Wu Daozi showed a look of arrogance and told the story.

"Master, you are a Taoist priest, so you ...... How...... ...... also "Hu Man'er didn't dare to continue asking.

Wu Daozi saw Hu Man'er's resignation, so he drank: "How is the Taoist priest? ”

"Taoist priests can still marry wives and have children. Hu Man'er replied.

Wu Daozi was dumbfounded, and then patted Hu Man'er on the top of his head and laughed silently: "Idiot, why can't a Taoist priest marry a wife and have children? Taoism can double cultivate, otherwise where did Qing'er come from, it is my own granddaughter. ”

"Master, isn't it very powerful for us to contemplate the Lord? The Dao method must be unfathomable. In charge of such a large Taoist temple, this person must be extraordinary. Hu Man'er said with a look of adoration.

"Bah, he's a nerd. I can only read books all my life, and I say that there is Yan Ruyu in the book, a golden house in the book, and a way to heaven in the book. There is everything in the book, and what immortals do you cultivate? It's a lot of trouble all day. In my opinion, our Taoists should still pay attention to inaction and indisputability. ”

"Master, why do you say that, let's look at the Lord, isn't it...... Isn't it a little ......" Hu Man'er was a little shocked when she heard this.

"What can I say about him, what can my own son say? Wu Daozi said angrily.

"What...... What? Your son? Isn't that ...... Isn't that Wanqing's father?" Hu Man'er held his forehead with one hand, surprised.

"Don't talk about him. As a teacher, I will talk to you about the Fa again. The so-called Taoism is nothing more than the external fist plus the internal strength of the heart, the method of refining qi, and the so-called qi is the true qi. Practice the muscles and bones outside, and practice the qi method inside. The muscles and bones can become the incorruptible body of King Kong, and ordinary swords cannot hurt themselves in the slightest. And qi is divided into levels, and I will teach you this in the future. ”

Wu Daozi stretched out his hand and held it in the air, and the wooden box that was originally lying quietly on the collapsed instantly shot quickly and fell into his hand. Wu Daozi grabbed the wooden box and put it on the table and said.

"The strong break the river and open the mountain, and it is easy to split the stars and cut the moon. Like this, taking things from the air, walking in the air, is even more handy. The so-called distinction between high and low Taoism is mainly in this qi. Whether the qi is sufficient and pure depends on the acupoints, and what the practitioner needs to cultivate is how to get through the knots. Speaking of this, Wu Daozi tapped all parts of Hu Man'er's body with his hand and continued.

"Not everybody can make it. The first is to see how well the practitioner is qualified and understanding, and the second is that the practitioner himself must be tenacious and diligent. The reason why the teacher is called the sword immortal is that the teacher uses the qi sword to kill the enemy outside the hundred zhang. Practice Qi and start with the Dharma. The rest is up to us to realize. Do you understand?" Wu Daozi said earnestly as if he were a strict teacher.

"The disciple understands. The disciples are diligent and practiced, and live up to the teachings of the master. Hu Man'er listened carefully, and naturally he was clear and straightforward.

Wu Daozi nodded slightly, touched Hu Man'er's head and said, "Well, that's good." That's all for today, and tomorrow I'll teach you boxing, first practice the outside, and then cultivate the inside. Your qualifications are acceptable, as long as you practice diligently. Something will happen. ”

Hu Man'er nodded vigorously with a happy face.

In the dead of night, Hu Man'er was lying on the couch, still immersed in the words that the master told him today that he had never heard before. Stupidly looking out the window at the bright moonlight and the stars in the sky. The master on the bed breathed calmly and strongly. When did you think that you would be in such a situation today? There are so many thoughts in my head. I can't help but think of that early morning, a cruel and bloody morning. An indelible fruit was planted in the heart of the young man. What is it? Is it suffering, is it fear, or is it ...... It's evil.

"There is no evil in the world, and the most evil is the human heart. ”
