Chapter 80: Endless Yellow Sand
When the sky was bright, a dilapidated sedan chair was carried out from the side door of Zhang's house, passing through the lively morning market along the way, and going straight to the Qin and Tang Temples three miles away.
"Ah...... You stinky beggar, get out of the way!" came an arrogant and pungent voice.
"Bang bang!" the sound of being whipped with a stick.
"Woo!" and someone cried out in pain.
Zhang Ruoxi stretched out his little hand with thousands of holes, lifted the corner of the sedan curtain, and saw a seven or eight-year-old child being knocked to the ground and convulsed.
"Stop!" came the childish voice.
The palanquin man was puzzled and dissatisfied, and suddenly stopped.
Zhang Ruoxi shook, and his forehead hit the sedan chair directly.
She covered her forehead, took out the only three cents, handed it to the palanquin man, and said lightly: "Go buy two meat buns and give them to that little beggar." ”
The sedan man was stunned for a moment, took the money, and turned around in silence to buy steamed buns.
muttered in his mouth: I have crossed the river with mud and Bodhisattva, and I still have to take care of others.
Zhang Ruoxi watched the beggar take the bun and disappear into the crowd, then put down the sedan curtain.
The small sedan chair went straight to Qin Tangguan, but Zhang Ruoxi in the sedan chair sat much more stable.
"The Tao is good, the Tao is very good, the name is famous, the name is not very famous. None, the beginning of heaven and earth, there is, the mother of all things. ......" bursts of immature voices came out of the dilapidated Taoist temple, and in the depths of the silent bamboo forest, it seemed extraordinarily quiet.
"Liu Daozhi!" A crisp female voice sounded in the neat recitation, which was particularly abrupt.
Liu Daozhi, who was full of gorgeous hair, felt a faint pain on his forehead, and this female voice seemed to him to be a curse.
He immediately puffed out his eyes and stared at the girl, and there was a great tendency for the girl to burst into a thunderous storm if she spoke out unruly.
I saw that the girl was dressed in luxurious clothes, bowing solemnly, elegantly and solemnly, so that people could not be angry.
"Please Liu Daozhi to solve your doubts. What is beauty, what is good, what is evil?" The girl stood up and bowed, and she thought of what her stepmother and stepsisters had done.
Liu Daozhi looked at the girl in front of him, subconsciously straightened his back, and slightly clenched the yellowed book in his hand.
Lang Sheng replied: "The beauty that everyone in the world knows is beautiful." What is good that everyone in the world knows is good. ”
The girl's good-looking eyes revealed dissatisfaction with the perfunctory answer, and she bowed again.
"Liu Daozhi, how do you know what beauty is considered by people in the world, what is evil, is it true that all people are the same as beauty?"
Everyone said that the Zhang family's housewife was gentle and kind, generous and decent, and a good wife.
She disagreed, and all she could remember was her stepmother's greedy face when she snatched her mother's dowry.
Everyone said that Miss Zhang Jiaer was a proud daughter of the sky and talented.
She didn't agree, all she remembered was the arrogant and domineering appearance when her second sister snatched the poems she wrote.
Everyone also said that Miss Zhang Jiasan was beautiful, gentle and considerate.
She doesn't agree either, she only remembers the humble appearance of the third sister when she was patting her ass.
Liu Daozhi was speechless for a while. The other children all whispered about what the eldest lady meant.
For a while, the awkward atmosphere spread in the Taoist temple, and the naughty children looked at Liu Daozhi and the girl for a while.
For a moment, when the girl received no response, she bowed and sat down in her place.
However, the Taoist temple soon reverted to its original sound of reading aloud, as if nothing had happened.
These children have long been accustomed to this situation, accustomed to the tricky questions of the eldest lady of the Zhang family and the silence of Liu Daozhi.
The Qin-Tang Temple is an unfamous small temple among the countless Taoist temples in Great Qin.
Liu Daoist in the view came to the Qin and Tang Dynasties a hundred years ago, saying that he was a fellow Taoist who came to the secular world to find someone destined to preach.
This is a hundred years old.
Many people think that Liu Daozhi is an old way of cheating and cheating, and some people think that Liu Daozhi is an immortal and is willing to worship until he finds someone who is destined.
The girl's Zhang family is one of many believers.
The Zhang family is the family of the eunuchs for generations, and it is said that the ancestor of the Zhang family was rescued by Liu Daozhi when he was young because he was stained with great cause and effect, delaying the rotation of cause and effect for a hundred years.
In order to thank Liu Daozhi, the ancestor of the Zhang family was willing to worship Qin and Tang Guan for a hundred years to repay the grace of saving his life. Liu Daozhi also asked for the children of the Zhang family to follow him and learn Taoism for ten years. The ancestor of the Zhang family was grateful, so he responded.
With the passage of time, mortals have a short lifespan, and the Zhang family has unknowingly reached the third generation. The worship is also less and less from generation to generation, and this time I actually sent a female doll over.
Liu Daozhi was very dissatisfied, but he was helpless, the Zhang family and his cause and effect had already been returned.
Thinking of this, Liu Daozhi recalled the little girl just now, and sighed slightly, she was also a pitiful.
The Zhang family is burdened with more and more causes and effects, so there is a vague tendency to perish in the third generation, and the girl was sent by her stepmother, the nominal Miss Zhang.
When he passed by the Zhang family, he felt something, and he spent a lot of money to delay the Zhang family's upcoming karma.
Because he felt that someone destined would appear in the Zhang family.
So he made a request to let the descendants of the Zhang family follow him to learn the Tao, and worship him for a hundred years, in order to repay the grace of delay.
A hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye, and no one has been found. He recalled many times the inspiration when he passed by the Zhang family, and there was no mistake, and the inspiration of the monk was never missed.
And the hundred-year covenant is approaching, and the token of his mission is about to be shattered, and he will be forced to return to the Xuanhong Realm at that time.
He was both eager to go back to the Xuanhong Realm with plenty of spiritual energy, but he was also afraid to go back, because his mission was probably a failure this time. It took a hundred years to seal and cultivate, but the mission failed.
At the beginning, Uncle Su Wei calculated that the destined person to solve the glacier seal was in this Qin and Tang Temple, why didn't he find it after waiting for a hundred years?
He paced slowly in the Taoist temple, thinking about it, but he still had no clue.
I think that at the beginning, he did good deeds everywhere and recruited disciples, and there were thousands of people who went out from him, but none of them were destined.
As for how to judge the destined person, Uncle Su Wei just said that he found it at first sight.
He always felt that Uncle Su Wei was fooling him, otherwise why didn't he find it after seeing so many people?
But this matter is so important, Uncle Su Wei will not speak.
He had another thought in his heart, but he didn't dare to think deeply.
He sighed again and returned to the Spirit Gathering Array that he had simply arranged, and cultivated. There is very little aura in the secular world, only a few points, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat! He polished the meridians over and over again, hoping that he would not die violently when he returned to the Xuanhong realm.
After class, Zhang Ruoxi returned to Zhang's house in a dilapidated sedan chair.
It was already time for Zhang Ruoxi to return to his small courtyard from the side door.
The dim candlelight flickered in the dilapidated courtyard,
In late autumn, the cold dew arrives, and it looks more and more bleak.
Zhang Ruoxi walked into the main house slowly, and occasionally heard the sound of the maids stealing and having fun from the side room, and the gorgeous robes brushed the dew-stained weeds.
The mute girl in front of her silently carried a flickering lantern. It's as if it's all taken for granted.
Zhang Ruoxi took off her gorgeous robe, hung it on the old paint-off hanger, and let the dumb girl carefully smooth out the tiny folds on the robe.
There was a "crunch" and she lay on the bed. Secretly holding the amber around his neck in the bed.
Her mother told her that there was a little deity in the amber who was the patron saint of the Yu family. If necessary, the seal will be broken to protect her.
But what is the necessary moment?
It didn't protect her when she was humiliated by her stepsister.
When she was framed by her stepbrother to anger her father and punished her for kneeling in the ancestral hall, it did not protect her.
When she was framed by her stepmother and forced to move out of the house, it didn't protect her.
Several times, she cried and threw Amber to the ground, crying and crying in spite of her image. After crying, he carefully put amber around his neck, the only thing his mother left.
A few days ago, she was forcibly sent by her stepmother to Qin Tangguan to learn the ethereal Taoism, and she went to her father several times, hoping to change.
However, he could not even see his father's robe.
When she goes, it will be even more difficult to choose a lover, and she will be a long-term companion from now on.
Cool tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, and she leaned slightly sideways, curled up.
In this way, you can stay away from these troublesome things and spend the rest of your life quietly.
She didn't notice it when she was asleep, and the amber shimmered slightly, trying to break through several times but was silent.
