Volume 1 Qingxuan Youdao 19. The road ahead is tough

Where exactly Ling Shuang went to find clothes, Sima didn't know. But he knew that the place where the mountain servants lived, in a remote corner of the lower peak. He estimated the time in his heart, Ling Shuang went this time, and he would not return within a quarter of an hour.

Change back into worldly clothes, and the rest is only to wait for Ling Shuang's return. While waiting, he exercised the method of channeling spirits again, and found that the aura in his veins was becoming more and more abundant.

This time into the mountain is not for nothing, when the Taoist Xuan Cheng said clearly, even if you can't live forever without the avenue, the spirit will wash the muscles and veins, and it will also strengthen the body and prolong life.

A quarter of an hour had passed, and Ling Shuang did not appear. Sima Wenzhi opened the door and looked out, but there was no sign of her in the distance, so he could only go back to the house and continue to wait.

After another tea time, Ling Shuang's figure was still nowhere to be seen, and Sima Wenzhi was already a little anxious.

He didn't have the heart to wait any longer and leave directly, but he really needed the clothes that Ling Shuang was looking for. The matter of affection is not that you are good to me, I can directly offset it by reciprocating to you, and he wants to try his best to make some compensation to General Gao.

Sima asked for another reason why he had been waiting. Previously, he only told Ling Shuang that he was leaving, and did not officially resign to her. Saying goodbye is not a gentleman's doing.

When people are anxious in their hearts, they will get used to finding something to do for themselves to distract themselves and counteract their anxiety. Sima Wenzhi began to look at his residence, looked at the things in the house, and then saw the two scriptures on the low table.

Everything in the house was prepared for him by the sect. Now that he is no longer a Taoist spirit, most of these cannot be taken away.

But he took the two scriptures into his arms and decided to take them away. The scriptures were given to him by the Taoist Master Xuancheng a few days ago. Since it was sent, the scriptures were already in his private possession.

Leaving the Qingxuan Mountain Gate does not mean that you can no longer cultivate the Dao Fa, there are still many wild cultivators in the world. Although the two canons can be found in the world, they have been circulated for a long time, and it is impossible to determine whether there are false annotations added. This is the ancestral court of the Taoist realm, and there will be no mistake in the scriptures.

As the hour was about to pass, there was movement outside. Sima Wenzhi opened the door and saw Ling Shuang walking towards him with a burden, and hurriedly welcomed her into the house.

The bag was filled with clothes, and as Ling Shuang said, she had also seen General Gao and knew his size. The clothes are very loose, and General Gao wears them on his body, so he will not be inconvenient because of too tight.

In addition to clothing, there are other things in the baggage, most of which are needed when walking outside.

"I don't know what else you need, there were disciples in the sect walking in the world before, and I helped pack my bags, so I prepared one for you according to my memory. Ling Shuang's tone was soft this time, and there was a little more loneliness in her words.

There are many things, but each one is not big. The package brought by Ling Shuang was neither big nor small, and there was another package inside. Sima Wenzhi took out the package inside, opened it and found that it was dry food.

"These dry foods, they are borrowed. Seeing Sima Wenzhi open the inner package, Ling Shuang opened his mouth to explain to him.

At this time, Sima Wenzhi had generally understood why Ling Shuang was slow to come back.

Although you are the ancestral court of the Taoist realm, the usual consumption of ingredients, the three sects of Qingxuan Mountain still need to obtain them from the world.

In recent years, there have been wars, and many laborers have been captured by the government to serve as soldiers, and the worldly products are not abundant. In addition, Qingxuan Mountain has closed the mountain gate for several years, and the grain storage in the mountain is not as good as before.

Except for those who cultivated the valley, although the other disciples in the sect would not starve, they would not have so much dry food left. Moreover, Taoists are taboo about wasting ingredients, and the leftovers of every meal are recycled.

Ling Shuang said that it was borrowed, and it was more likely to be stolen.

The dry food in the baggage is very neat and has not been moved.

The disciples of the sect only eat two meals a day, morning food and feeding, and it is almost noon at this moment, when the room is preparing the second meal, and she steals everyone's food. It took a long time, so I should have been waiting, waiting for the opportunity for the disciples of the housekeeper to relax.

Stealing is also a taboo in Taoism, but Sima Wenzhi did not blame Ling Shuang at this time, and he had no intention of exposing her. Everything Ling Shuang did was for him, and he was very moved in his heart.

However, Sima asked him not to understand that Ling Shuang said another meaning of "borrowing": if there is a loan, it must be repaid, and the dry food is borrowed for him, and he will need to repay it in the future. Ling Shuang was powerless to stop him from leaving, but he still held on to the hope that one day he would be able to return again.

The people who get together may not be able to come, but the people who should go will always leave, after Ling Shuang finished speaking, there was no more words between the two. After that, Sima Wenzhi said goodbye to her, and after opening the door, he walked straight to the mountain gate.

Ling Shuang no longer retained.

Don't do useless things, otherwise it will only add to the trouble.

"Sima, the road ahead is difficult, remember to eat a full stomach and don't be too frugal. Looking at Sima Wenzhi's distant back, Ling Shuang still opened his mouth.

General Gao is tall and will eat a lot, she is afraid that Sima Wen's dry food will be too small, not enough to eat, so she is reluctant to eat. At the moment, I have no intention of ridiculing in my heart, and I have no intention of calling the little master again.

"Yes. Sima Wenzhi didn't turn around and continued to walk towards the mountain gate. In General Gao's heart, Sima asked that he was the master, and he himself was a servant, and most of the things that Ling Shuang was worried about would not happen.

Walking to the mountain gate, according to the agreement, Sima Wenzhi returned the waist card to the disciples of the Shangqing Sect in the guards. Previously, Tian Chengzi had said that when the jade plate was returned, the remnant soul would also leave the body. At this time, his body was not abnormal, and for some reason, he was in a hurry to leave, and he didn't have the heart to care about this.

Now that the jade plaque has been handed back, he can't go out directly at the moment, and needs to be brought out by the guard disciples. After some tossing, I saw General Gao again.

The two got together again, and Sima Wenzhi's mood improved slightly.

General Gao was in a better mood, he was worried that Sima Wenyi would not return, and he was ready to scold the battle again. When I saw him come out at this moment, I knew that there would be no more changes.

I don't know if the pursuers outside the mountain have retreated, the road ahead is difficult, and the future is uncertain.

Before going down the mountain, Sima Wenzhi took out the miscellaneous clothes and handed them to General Gao for him to change. It was noon, and it wasn't very cold, even though it was winter.

General Gao did not shy away from it, and directly took off his tattered battle uniform and changed into clothes. Sima Wenzhi turned away, men and women did not kiss, and men and men were not used to seeing him honestly, although he did not take off his clothes.

When he first went up the mountain, General Gao had already carved out a path. After he had finished changing his clothes, the master and servant walked down the path down the mountain.

Not long after the two of them walked down the mountain, in the living room of Tianchengzi on the upper peak of Shangqing Peak, there were two people standing and sitting, and the person sitting was Tianchengzi, who was opening his mouth to command.

"If it's not about your life, you can't do it. When necessary, you don't need to report it layer by layer, just send the voice to me. ”
