Chapter 1: Sloppy and old-fashioned
The monk said, "Prajnaparamita." ”
The Taoist priest said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable." ”
I said, "The leaves cross the river by the waves." ”
All beings in the world are suffering and the sea of suffering is boundless, how to survive the world?
Coming out of the north gate of Lingyun City, to the north is an endless meadow, from which a winding path stretches into the endless wilderness.
At this time, it was already the wax moon, and the goose-feather-like snow was like a silver leaf that didn't want money to be thrown down from the sky, wrapping the world in a thick layer of white.
A tall and thin figure appeared on the snow-covered meadow at some point, walking towards Lingyun City.
Strange to say, at this time, the ice and snow covered the earth, and where could he still see the road under his feet, he walked as if he could see the road under the snow.
I saw that this person was dressed as a Taoist priest, and the wrinkled skin on his face couldn't tell how old he was, maybe fifty or sixty years old, maybe eighty or ninety years old, his high hair bun was randomly interspersed with a wooden stick, and the dirty clothes on his body were in tatters, and he could see the loose flesh inside, and this person didn't seem to feel the biting cold at all.
On closer inspection, the snowflakes that had fallen seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall when they were about to fall on him, and even the howling cold wind did not shake even one of his beards.
He had a large wine gourd hanging from his waist, probably too old to be rubbed into a reddish-purple color.
From time to time, I twisted it up and poured a few sips, and the head-sized wine gourd was drunk all the way without bottoming out.
At this time, the Taoist priest didn't notice that there was a white figure behind him that blended with the snow and slowly followed him, still forgetting to drink the wine in the gourd.
Suddenly, the white figure behind the Taoist priest seemed to have waited for the opportunity, and the two thick hind legs exerted force at the same time, like a phantom rushing towards the Taoist priest in front.
The limbs were stretched, the claws and teeth were exposed, and the sound of 'roar' came, and it was about to bite the back of the Taoist priest's neck.
At this critical moment, the Taoist priest unhurriedly turned his head and spit out a mouthful of water arrows at the rushing white phantom, hitting the center of his eyebrows.
The white figure immediately fell to the ground, and with a 'bang' slammed the snow on the ground into a large hole, and a blood-red liquid overflowed from its skull to stain the snow red, only to see that this was a snow leopard endemic to the north.
The Taoist priest shouted 'Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable' and then sniffled, glancing at the corpse on the ground in disgust, as if it had been smoked by the fishy wind in the snow leopard's mouth just now.
The Taoist priest picked up the gourd in his hand and poured another big mouthful, and continued to walk towards Lingyun City without being affected in the slightest.
More than a hundred years ago, Lingyun City was just a frontier fortress of the Great Qin State, and its main role was to garrison troops, and it was built to prevent the invasion of barbarians in the north.
Just a hundred years ago, after the emperor of Qin completely swept away the northern barbarians and incorporated them into his territory, he moved the capital here and renamed it Lingyun City.
Due to the wilderness with endless resources in the north and the rich land of fish and rice in the south, there is no foreign enemy in the hinterland, after more than 100 years of development, Lingyun City has become the most prosperous city of the Great Qin Empire, and the national strength of the Qin State has also risen in a straight line.
Lingyun City is the center of the Qin Kingdom, and the Imperial Palace is the center of Lingyun City. A splendid tall building stands here, I don't know how many miles long vermilion wall encloses this building inside, the wall is carved with dragons and phoenixes, pasted with gold and silver looks extremely noble, and the fully armed sentinels at the foot of the wall more than one zhang high make people feel that they can't get close.
At this moment, a sloppy figure walked to the main gate of the palace, in front of Yongning Gate.
Looking at the golden gatehouse in front of him, the Taoist priest smacked his lips and muttered, "This emperor will still enjoy it." ”
After saying that, he stepped forward.
The soldiers standing guard at the Yongning Gate saw a dirty Taoist priest and wanted to step forward.
I wonder where this place is where you, Hanako, can come.
It may be that he has been pressed by the power of this imperial power for too long, and there is nowhere to vent, and finally a person who is not long-eyed is sent to the door, and the soldier can't help but have an evil fire in his heart, see if I don't clean up your short-eyed flower today.
A loud shout came, and the sloppy Taoist priest was suddenly startled, thinking that the countless fierce beasts in the wilderness did not scare Lao Tzu, but today he was startled by you, a doll who died.
Before Lao Dao came back to his senses, he saw a long iron Ge already on his neck.
"You reckless Taoist, don't look at what place this is, where you can get close, leave quickly, otherwise the master will wear you as a blood gourd. ”
Lao Dao looked at the soldier in front of him with a smile and didn't speak, just looked at him and smiled, as if to say you come and try me.
This made the soldier feel at a loss, after all, there are still strange people in this world, and he thought that he would not provoke a character he couldn't afford to provoke.
The pedestrians coming and going outside the Yongning Gate were attracted by the movement here, and the Changge in the hands of the soldiers was on the shoulders of the old road, and it was not put or not, and so many people around looked at it and couldn't get off the stage.
The soldier is also young and vigorous, looking at so many people around him, thinking that he can't lose face today, and besides, he is a royal family behind him, and it doesn't hurt to kill an old man named Hanako by 'acting impartially'.
I had a plan in my heart, and the evil was born to the guts, and when I raised the Changge in my hand, I was about to cut it at Lao Dao's neck, and the surrounding crowd was so frightened that they screamed in fright when they saw the soldiers' actions, and some of the timid ones had already covered their eyes and didn't dare to look at the scene of Lao Dao's head separation.
In an instant, a few bold people saw that Lao Dao's left hand was raised slightly, his thumb and middle finger jumped, and with a 'bang', a stream of air shot out from between his fingers and hit Tie Ge who seemed to be.
The iron made of 'Jingle Bell' was cut in half and fell to the ground.
The half of the iron in the soldier's hand swung down from the face of the old man, and he almost fell down before he could retract his strength.
The soldier watched his blow miss, almost fell, and made such a big joke that he didn't care that his weapon had broken, and he wanted to bully him to fight.
Lao Dao looked at the soldiers and ignored them, and shouted at the Yongning Gate: "Qianrong, you little bastard, please come over, and take a look at Lao Tzu's jokes, if you don't come out again, Lao Tzu personally went in and picked up your pants." ”
The deafening sound instantly filled the entire heaven and earth, and the surrounding crowd was shocked by the sound, and they covered their ears tightly one by one.
The soldier who was about to step forward sat on the ground directly with a shock, not caring about his own image, holding his head with both hands and rolling on the ground in pain.
"Hahaha, big brother, stop the anger, stop the anger. ”
As soon as the words fell, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Lao Dao, and the two laughed at each other and stopped talking.
The person who came was also dressed as a Taoist priest, but his face was a young man, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and on the surface, he could be in his early twenties, and he was dressed in a purple gold gossip robe, which made this person even more noble.
When the people around saw the arrival of the purple-robed Taoist, they immediately knelt on the ground and shouted, "National Teacher Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”
Only then did the purple-robed Taoist turn around and smile and say to the people around him, "Flat." ”
Only then did everyone dare to stand up.
Under the surprised eyes of everyone, the purple-robed Taoist held the dirty palm of the sloppy old Taoist tightly in his hand, and tears of excitement came out.
"Senior brother, after a hundred years, I thought I would never see you again, how have you been doing all these years?"
"Go, don't curse Lao Tzu to death, Lao Tzu is as chic as a fairy outside, if it weren't for you to send me a message, I wouldn't know where to be happy." The sloppy Taoist said angrily.
The purple-robed Taoist said with a smile: "Let's go, senior brother, this is not a place to catch up, let's go in and talk slowly." ”
After speaking, he took the sloppy old man's hand and walked towards the Yongning Gate.
The people around him did not disperse for a long time, but the soldier who fell to the ground was already trembling with fright, knowing that he had offended someone he could not provoke, he turned over and slipped away quietly, not knowing where to go.
