Volume 1 Yu Chu Du Chapter 16 Flowers Bloom on the Other Side

Let's say that Huang Youdao left Jingbeizhuang and rushed to Longhu Mountain all the way. In a few days, I arrived at the next town in Longhu Mountain. Although the town is in a remote place, it is a noisy town. In the market, the peddlers and pawns shouted one after another. Huang Youdao saw that there was a tea shop in front of him, so he walked in. When Dr. Tea saw a guest coming, he sang loudly and brought a pot of tea. Huang Youdao checked his head, sat down and tasted tea slowly.

At this time, it is autumn and winter, and everything is depressed. It was cloudy again, and a gust of north wind blew, and I didn't realize that it was already a little chilly.

Huang Youdao wrapped his robe tightly, poured a bowl of strong tea, and after taking a sip, he held the tea bowl with both hands and looked out the window. Seeing that he was dressed plainly and his appearance was not good, Dr. Nacha stepped forward and said, "This Taoist chief described Luotuo as a newcomer. When Huang Youdao heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "Exactly." Poor Dao was originally a Xianyang clan, and he wanted to go to the Purple Cloud Temple of Longhu Mountain. ”

Dr. Nacha laughed, "As I expected. The appearance of the Taoist is amazing, but he also has some fairy wind bones. This sentence is obviously sarcastic about his round face and ugly appearance. Huang Youdao's anger surged, and he was about to have a seizure, when he saw that the corners of Dr. Cha's mouth were slightly raised, and he was triumphant. He raised the tea bowl in his hand to his mouth, took a sip, paused slightly, and slowly put the tea bowl down. Dr. Tea glanced at the tea bowl, suddenly his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly left with his head down. It turned out that the bowl of tea had changed from the previous pale green to crimson, like a bowl of blood.

Huang Youdao looked at Dr. Tea, who left in a hurry, laughed lightly, and drank the bowl of blood-colored tea. He stood up, dusted off his cuffs, and walked away.

In just half a day's effort, I have arrived at the foot of Longhu Mountain. Huang Youdao raised his eyes and looked, there was a forest halfway up the mountainside, and there was a flag looming behind the forest, and the flag was hunting with the north wind. Huang Youdao took a closer look and saw that the flag had the words "Purple Cloud View" written on it. He was overjoyed, and hurriedly quickened his pace and walked towards the mountain.

The road up the mountain was originally formed naturally, and it was very rugged and graceful. That Huang Youdao walked for a while and felt a sore waist and legs, after all, he was over half a hundred years old, and he was already panting and sweating after a while. When he saw a boulder on the side of the road ahead, he sat down on the stone slab to rest.

At this time, there seemed to be someone talking behind the slate, Huang Youdao listened carefully, and there were two people who spoke. He peeked over and saw one of them angrily saying, "The old thief is also a bully, and treats my two human rights as pigs and dogs." If it weren't for the fact that there was still a high hall to be fed, I would have gone down the mountain long ago. The other person continued: "Senior brother whispered, don't let people listen." Alas, to tell you the truth, why don't I want to abandon him? The junior brother continued, "The senior brother is also a little weaker. It's just blindly tolerated, which is not the way to do it after all. Besides, the old thief ordered us to purchase a few cyan flowers and stones half a month ago, and now the deadline has been missed. This time, I will teach you and me to come here to stop and kill a monk. Don't say that you can't find that person, even if you meet and kill him, the crime of missing the time is not trivial. ”

Huang Youdao was taken aback when he heard this, and he was busy holding his breath and concentrating, not daring to make a slight move.

I only heard the senior brother ask: "According to the junior brother's wishes, what should we do?" The senior brother was silent, and after a while, he said: "The matter has come to this point, and the only way to do it now is to go." The senior brother said, "As soon as you and I leave, the old thief will definitely refuse to give up in anger." I'm afraid it will cause trouble to my family. The junior brother continued: "I have been prepared for a long time, and I have quietly saved some self over the years. When we got off the mountain, we went straight to pick up my mother and your father. We left for a living. The senior brother pondered for a long time, and finally relented and discussed with his junior brother. The two went straight down the mountain.

Huang Youdao heard that the two of them had gone away, and he breathed a sigh of relief, both surprised and happy in his heart. What was shocking was that Na Zukebei ordered himself to come to Ziyunguan, it turned out that he wanted to kill him, and he was glad that he was fortunate to break this conspiracy here, and he was able to get out of danger. After thinking about it, he frowned and thought about it.

Huang Youdao used a little trick, and in an instant, he disguised himself as the senior brother of Shicai. He was originally a master of disguise, and this little bit of Dao technique was just a small skill for him.

The idea was set, and Huang Youdao walked slowly along the mountain road. By the time you get the Purple Cloud View, it's getting late.

After walking for a day, I only felt that my legs and feet were sore, and when I came to the front of the gate, I felt that I was extremely tired.

He beat his spirit and knocked on the door. The one who opened the door was a Taoist boy, and when he saw that he was alone, he asked, "Why did Senior Brother Wang come back alone?" Huang Youdao's eyes rolled and he hurriedly said: "Senior Brother Liu still has important things to do, so I will come back first." Seeing that the Dao Tong was completely ignorant, he asked, "Is the Master resting?" The Dao Tong replied, "The Master has to meditate and practice in the Heavenly Master Hall every night before going to bed. How did Senior Brother forget?" Huang Youdao hurriedly smiled: "How could I not know, it's just a joke." You are on duty here, don't be lazy. After speaking, he went straight to the inner view.

The Purple Cloud Temple was built by Emperor Wu of Wei in the previous dynasty. Emperor Wu was eloquent and strategic, and in his later years, he respected Confucianism and Taoism, so he ordered the selection of two feng shui treasures and built a building in each of them. One of them is in Yecheng, called "Tongque Terrace", and the other is the "Purple Cloud View" of Longhu Mountain.

Huang Youdao entered the view, and saw the four covered bridges and pavilions, which were scattered and orderly. I didn't know how to move forward, and when I looked up, I saw a hugging building in front of my right, on which a pair of large lanterns were hung high. He hurried towards that side, walked to the front, and when he looked closely, there was a plaque hanging directly above it, and under the light of the lantern, he saw that there were three big characters written on it: "Heavenly Master Hall". Huang Youdao's heart was pounding, he took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and then stepped forward and knocked lightly.

After a while, one person in the hall said, "Are you Scarlet Ren and Chu Sheng back?" Huang Youdao hurriedly replied, "Yes, Master." My junior brother and I have finished our work and come back to resume our lives. The younger brother suddenly had a big pain in his stomach and said to go to the toilet. The disciple came to greet the master first. The man in the hall said, "Come in." Huang Youdao replied yes, and pushed the door in.

The candles in the hall flickered, and it was very dim. There is a square table in the middle of the front of the hall, and many tributes are placed, on which the portraits of the three Qings are enshrined. In front of the square table sat an old man, with white hair and horizontal eyebrows.

Huang Youdao hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Say hello to Master." The old man glanced at him, closed his eyes again, and said slowly: "What I told you two to do, how is it now?" Huang Youdao replied: "What the master ordered, how dare the disciple not do his best." It's all in order. The old man sneered and said, "A few days ago, I received a letter from the owner of Jingbei Zhuang Zuzhuang, saying that a monk had come to take refuge, and the letter asked me to wait for an opportunity to kill him. Unexpectedly, the thief didn't even eat a mouthful of food, and the two of you died. Alas, such iniquity is against the law. If you have both transgressed the vows, you will be punished. Go and repent of the walls of the building for three days, and do not eat. After speaking, he took a long breath and announced "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable".

Huang Youdao heard what he said about killing himself, anger rose from his heart, and evil was born to the side of his guts, seeing that the old Taoist Wu closed his eyes, he took out his short blade of self-defense, and rushed forward to stab the old Taoist in the chest.
