"Little Taoist, when you grow up, you must go down the mountain to find me and marry me."

Lin Mu held a branch of dogtail grass in his mouth, and looked at the sky in a daze, he had reached the age of going down the mountain, should he go to her. Find her and say that?

Her name is Mu Zirou, and she is the pearl of the Mu family, the second largest family in Nansui Shenzhou. When she was a child, she was beautiful and moving, and she still can't forget the beautiful scenery she danced for herself under the moon at that time. At that time, she was like a fairy from the Guanghan Palace, with an unbearable waist, a pretty face that had begun to charm all living beings and a lark-like voice, all of which made him unforgettable.

And himself, he is just a little Taoist priest who has nothing, his parents are said to have thrown himself to the door of the Taoist hall when he was born because he couldn't support himself, if it wasn't for the kindness of the old Taoist priest to take him in, he would have become a lonely ghost wandering nowhere.

Are you really worthy?

In fact, he doesn't need to ask himself to know that he is not worthy, but he just wants to look at her again, and wants to hear her call himself a "little Taoist"

"Hehe, Mu'er, are you thinking about things again?"

Just as he was thinking, he saw a Taoist priest with fairy wind and bones walking from the next step of the mountain towards the top of the cliff where the forest was located.

The Taoist priest looked quite old, and his two long snow-white hairs hung down to his chest, but there was not a trace of wrinkles on his face. Although he was wearing a washed and shiny old Taoist robe, it was hard to describe the dusty breath.

"Teacher, you're here"

"Well, the teacher came to ask you to eat, you haven't come down for so long, the food is almost cold"

"Teacher, did you say I was going to find her?"

Lin Mu raised his head and looked at the old man in front of him blankly, in Lin Mu's eyes, his teacher is an omnipotent existence, as long as he doesn't understand something, as long as he asks the teacher, the teacher will give him a perfect answer. So Lin Mu still chose to leave the problem to the teacher to deal with this time.

But this time, the teacher gave him an answer that was almost equal to nothing, and he neither denied nor affirmed himself. Just said a word to myself.

"Ask Yourself"

"What did you say, teacher?"

In fact, I don't blame Lin Mu, generally speaking, the teacher should say a lot of long things to himself at this time, and then wait for himself to continue to ask questions that he doesn't understand.

But what is the answer to "ask yourself"?

"I told you to ask yourself, okay, the food is cold, let's go. ”

Looking at the appearance of the old Taoist, Lin Mu knew that it seemed that he couldn't get an answer here, so he had no choice but to get up.

patted the dust on his buttocks, and followed the old Taoist priest towards the bottom of the mountain.

At night, he lay in bed and still thought about it over and over again.

"Ask myself, ask myself, where do I know the answer to that. ”

The irritable Lin Mu got up and put on his robe, opened the door and walked outside, he wanted to be quiet, and there was a place that was just right for him now.

The cliffs are silent at night, with only the occasional chirping of cicadas. Lin Mu was lying on the ground, still holding a dogtail in his mouth, which was a habit for him, and whenever he wanted to think, he always liked to put a dogtail in his mouth, because it helped him to concentrate.

Looking at the stars in the sky, one of them is the brightest, Lin Mu knows, this is called "Sirius", the master said to him when he was a child: "This is a magical star, whenever you make a vow to him, then your wish will definitely come true." ”

So when I was a child, every time I had a gift I wanted, I would shout out my wish to Sirius. Because he felt that this would make him more religious, and that he would receive the gift he wanted the next day.

Now Lin Mu has long known that this is fake, and the so-called gift was secretly bought by the master for himself, but now he still wants to believe in the master.

So he fell to his knees on his legs, spit out the dogtail from his mouth, folded his hands, and looked up at the bright Sirius. Without thinking, he shouted loudly: "I want her to call me a little Taoist priest again!"

After saying that, he collapsed to the ground, but he was very happy. Because I already know what I want, I want to go down the mountain, I want to go to her, and tell her in front of her that I am here!

When Lin Mu got the answer and walked back to the residence with joy, he didn't notice that the old Taoist priest was standing behind him, and stared at his back for a long time, until his figure completely disappeared in front of him, and then a word came out of nowhere.

"Well, this is your fate, I hope you can get through it"

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Lin Mu finished washing up early, and put on his backpack that had been prepared long ago. Walking towards the old Taoist's room, he came to say goodbye to the old Taoist, but who knew that before he arrived at the door of the old Taoist, his voice came from inside.

"Go, since you've decided, go ahead, remember to go back and take the time to see the old man. ”

Listening to the familiar voice, the tears in Lin Mu's eyes couldn't stop flowing anymore, the old Taoist priest is not like a master for himself, more like a father, just imagine, which child who is about to leave home for the first time, will not be sad when he knows that he will not be able to see his relatives for a long time. And the old Taoist priest's words were like a key, just opening the inner lock in his eyes that locked the tears.

It was a long time before he stopped crying.

Wiping away his tears and taking off his bag, Lin Mu knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the old Taoist's room. Then he got up and said: "Master, don't worry, Mu'er will definitely come back to accompany you after completing his wish, Mu'er is gone"

After saying that, he left the gate at the bottom of the mountain without looking back, and he did not dare to look back, because he was afraid that as long as he turned back, he would never be able to go down the mountain again.
