Chapter 16 The Night Was Lively
This loud laugh really shocked Zhao Ran, at night, it was a deserted hill, Zhao Ran was suddenly so frightened that his hairs stood on end, his breathing was not smooth, and he almost didn't suffocate.
Zhao Ran turned around stiffly, but in front of him was an old man with a gray beard. Lao Dao was wearing a dirty Taoist robe, with a pair of soft-soled Taoist shoes under his feet, Zhao Ran had excellent eyesight, and at a glance he saw two oily big toes emerging from the tears of the Taoist shoes, and the toenails were still stuffed with mud.
This old Taoist Zhao Ran has seen before, it is a Taoist priest who is in the guest room Yunshui Hall, Zhao Ran bumped into it when he went to Yu Zhiyuan to write a few days ago, and Yu Zhiyuan said that it was an old Taoist from Hu Guanglai. Zhao Ran has also seen it once, this old way doesn't go to the dining hall to eat when he arrives at the meal, and he hasn't seen him go anywhere on weekdays, Zhao Ran almost forgot about him, but he didn't want to meet him here.
Since it was neither a demon nor a ghost, Zhao Ran's fear subsided, and he turned into a wave of resentment, and said angrily: "You old bull nose, you don't know what's going on, you don't know if you come, you come here and deliberately scare people, do you know that this is very dangerous? It will scare people to death!"
Lao Dao bent down and laughed for a while, and waved his hand again and again: "Don't blame the little Daoist, it's really a poor way, haha, I just bumped into it by chance, I really couldn't bear it, but I didn't mean it." Don't blame it, don't blame it!"
Seeing that the other party apologized, Zhao Ran didn't care about himself, and the other party's situation seemed to be down, but he was always a serious Taoist priest with a degree, and he couldn't compare with others, so he immediately calmed his anger, and just said stupidly: "I practice here and don't do your business, what's ridiculous?"
Lao Dao couldn't help but "poof" again, and said: "Hehe, I don't know what method the little Taoist friend is practicing, why don't you say that it will come out, and the poor Dao will also increase your knowledge?"
Zhao Ran knew his own roots, of course he couldn't say it, he just hummed and covered it up. He wasn't afraid that this old man would get rich and seek to rob him of his treasure. Looking at the words and looks, Zhao Ran didn't see that this old Taoist had any high-ranking appearance, just the other party's sloppy energy, like a beggar, it is estimated that he is a wandering Taoist priest who eats and drinks.
There is a group of such people in the Taoist sect, because of coincidence, they have a degree of formality, but they have no ability, and they are extremely lazy, relying on the convenience of placing orders in various Taoist institutes, so they play around, eat and drink for nothing. When Yu Zhiyuan talked about the origin of this old way, he also looked disdainful, so Zhao Ran didn't take the other party in his eyes.
It's just that this kind of thing is always difficult to publicize, if it is spread out, the prison will ask him to hand it over immediately, do you say he will hand it over or not?
Zhao Ran didn't want to show the rope, but the old Taoist had already watched it for a long time, so he smiled and said: "Poor Dao sees that the little Taoist seems to be trying the baby, but it is this rope in his hand?
Zhao Ran deliberately interrupted: "There is no treasure, just a rope, by the way, the old Taoist surname is a big name? Don't call me a fellow Daoist anymore, I can't afford it, and now it's just a fire dwelling in a squatter house." ”
Lao Dao smiled: "Poor Dao's surname is Zhang ...... Why should a cultivator attach importance to his reputation? If he has the Tao in his heart, he is a person in the same way, and there is no difference between superior and inferior. What the little Taoist friend is holding in his hand is really a rope? You are relieved that the poor road goes south and north, what good objects have not been seen? will never be greedy for your treasure. ”
Zhao Ran disagreed with Zhang Laodao's rhetoric, such people are everywhere, they say things well, and they will never covet your property, if the value of the property is high enough, it will definitely turn their faces and deny people. However, he thought to himself, since this old way had traveled far and wide, he must have seen a wide range of knowledge—at least more than himself, should he be allowed to see it?
Thinking of this, Zhao Ran wrapped the thin rope around his wrist twice, and handed over the remaining part: "Zhang Laodao, let's talk about it, just take a look, don't think about ghosts, don't blame me for turning my face when the time comes." ”
Zhang Laodao ignored the unkindness in Zhao Ran's words, just took the thin rope and stared at it, while caressing it with his fingers for a few rounds. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head: "I have never seen this object, but I don't know what it is. ”
Zhao Ran was slightly disappointed, and immediately asked: "What is the use of that, can you know the old way?"
Zhang Laodao continued to shake his head: "I don't know, I don't know, I don't understand." Where did you get this object?"
Zhao Ran was even more disappointed, and said casually: "Pick it up, there is no need to coax you about this." ”
Zhang Laodao rubbed the rope again, but he still couldn't get the point, so he gave up, let go of his hand and said with a smile: "Little Daoist, listen to the poor Dao's advice, don't waste any more time, this rope is not a treasure, plus your qualifications, even if it is a treasure, you can't drive it, and you will delay your work in vain." ”
Zhao Ran was nervous for a while: "Zhang Laodao, do you know people's qualifications?"
Zhang Laodao smiled and said nothing, and Zhao Ran asked urgently: "How can you see that my qualifications are not good?"
Zhang Laodao stroked his beard and said: "If you have good qualifications, you would have entered the scripture hall a long time ago, why do you still use the squatter house as a fire dwelling?"
Zhao Ran was deflated for a while, no wonder everyone said that they were lucky tellers, nine out of ten cheated, and the remaining one was just a reasoner.
Since he didn't understand anything about this old way, Zhao Ran was also lacking in interest and was too lazy to perfunctory with him. Zhang Laodao didn't care, he continued to climb along the mountain path, Zhao Ran reminded angrily: "Be careful when climbing the mountain at night, don't fall to death!"
Zhang Laodao smiled and waved his hand, and soon, the figure disappeared behind the mountain wall.
Zhao Ran looked at the thin rope on his wrist, and said in his heart, this rope is a treasure, it is inevitable, Zhang Laodao has no vision and no ability, and it is no wonder that he can't see the treasure of this thin rope. It's just that I'm so blind that it definitely won't work, but how is this good?
After wandering in place for a long time, Zhao Ran patted his forehead and secretly scolded himself for being confused. There is a scripture building in Wuji Courtyard, and it doesn't seem to be forbidden, so why don't you go there to find clues?
After thinking about it, he lost the interest in continuing his research, and tucked the cord back into his belt, patted his ass and prepared to go down the mountain.
When he was about to get up, there was the sound of footsteps climbing in his ears, and Zhao Ran's ears were very good, and he could clearly distinguish that there were still two bends between the people and here. He scolded in his heart, he was full of food in the middle of the night, why did he come to this ghost place without paying attention?
Zhao Ran didn't want to make trouble for himself, so he hid in a dark corner and leaned behind the pine wood. Not long after, a figure turned out of the mountain path, and Zhao Ran recognized it at a glance, but this person was Guan Er!
Guan Er looked lost and depressed, and his steps were not very steady, I saw him slowly move to the edge of the cloud viewing platform, standing on the cliff, his eyes looking straight into the distance, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Zhao Ran was very surprised, what did Guan Er do here? After looking at it for a while, he finally saw some doorways - Guan Er seemed to be about to jump off a cliff!
Although Zhao Ran had just come for two days, this Guan Er put on a "line of tyrant" score, and his attitude towards Zhao Ran was extremely unfriendly. But Zhao Ran didn't pay much attention to it, after all, he didn't suffer much loss, but took advantage of the opportunity of the other party's big gamble to get rich. Seeing that Guan Er wanted to commit suicide at this moment, Zhao Ran was not calm, no matter what, he lived in a courtyard, and he couldn't watch a life disappear in front of him when he looked up.
Zhao Ran didn't dare to delay, he came out from behind the pine wood, grabbed a few steps forward, hugged Guan Er's waist and dragged it back, snoring in his mouth: "Guan Er, don't be stupid!"
But he didn't want Guan Er to be a practitioner, and he was unexpectedly dragged back a few steps by Zhao Ran, so he looked for an opportunity, his waist was strong, his body twisted sideways, and at the same time, he grabbed Zhao Ran's arm and flipped it back, and immediately subdued Zhao Ran to the ground.
Zhao Ran lay on the ground, his knees were pressed against his back, and after his arms turned back, he looked like a subdued gangster. He scolded: "Guan Er, you son of a bitch, don't be ignorant, grandpa is here to save you, why are you doing this to me!"
Leaving the edge of the cliff, Guan Er also had a lot of clarity in his mind at the moment, what he did just now was just the instinctive reaction of a person who practiced martial arts, not how to do it to Zhao Ran. At that moment, he let go of Zhao Ran and shouted in a deep voice: "Who wants you to be nosy?"
Zhao Ran wiped the dust on his face and said angrily: "Okay, no matter what you do, you will die!
But seeing Guan Er's face suddenly pale, his body was weak, he slowly sat down on the ground, covered his face with his hands, and a whimper came from between his fingers, and a huge tower-like man actually cried.
