Volume 1: Beginner Xiuzhen Chapter 4: The Old Way Makes a Move

Early in the morning, Ergou woke up to the shouts of the old Taoist priest.

"My wine, my wine, my things!" The old Taoist priest woke up, and he didn't see anything sent by the villagers yesterday, and he screamed for a while.

Put on the second dog and was woken up by the old Taoist, I couldn't sleep anymore, got up and got up, ran into the main hall, and when I entered the hall and saw the old Taoist priest's panicked looking around, the two dogs felt funny, this old Taoist priest is really living smaller and smaller.

After wanting him to be anxious for a moment, Ergou said to him that his things had been packed into the room.

The old Taoist priest beat his chest and scolded the two dogs for a while.

Ergou didn't care about his scolding, walked to the kitchen, and began to sit for breakfast.

After the two of them had breakfast, the old Taoist priest was not as angry as before, and his expression was slightly serious and he told Ergou to call his parents to the temple.

Looking at the old Taoist's serious appearance, Ergou secretly guessed in his heart, did the old Taoist priest want to give me this quota? No, he received so many things from the villagers, as well as Ye Daring's two pots of old wine, but he seemed to have only one quota.

Ergou thought like this, and at the same time his heart was full of anticipation.

Running to his home on the mountainside, thinking about the possibilities of the old Taoist priest asking his father and mother to go up the mountain, Ergou was excited in his heart, and the steps on his feet were a little cheerful.

His home is on the mountainside, not far from the temple at the end of the mountain, and his steps are fast, it only took about two hours to return home, a fenced yard, the center of the yard is their home, a house made of wood, the house is built by my father one person and one wood, when you and their family were forced to come here, open up wasteland and farm, and live by hunting, so my father has aged a lot, and his waist and legs have become less flexible over the years.

"Dad, mother, I'm back," the yard was surrounded by the vegetables planted by my mother, at this time my mother was picking vegetables and preparing for lunch, and my father was sitting on a stone bench in the yard, taking out his water pipe and smoking a cigarette, my father had three hobbies, smoking, drinking, and hunting. Wherever he went, he would take tobacco and alcohol with him, even hunting.

"Fan'er is back," the mother in the vegetable field shouted to Ergou, mother is a gentle and loving person, when she was a child, she still barked two dogs and two dogs, and I don't know when it began, my mother no longer called him Ergou's nickname, maybe my mother thought it was not good.

His father looked at him, ignored him, and continued to smoke his water pipe.

Ergou also disagreed, his father was not a person of many words, and he rarely spoke, but he was an out-and-out diligent person, every day he was not silently doing farm work, or hunting in the mountains with him, more than 360 days a year, 360 days were working, and I don't know what happened to my father in the past two days, but the year is not too festive, and no one in the family has ever given birth or anything.

"By the way, Daddy, the old Taoist priest told you to go to the temple," Ergou's voice just fell, and he wanted to see his father's reaction, but he didn't expect his mother, who was picking in the field, to get up all of a sudden, with an excited look on her face.

Father's hands trembled slightly, and he almost knocked his most precious hookah to the ground, and his voice trembled slightly, "Go, go, go immediately." ”

While the father was still talking, the mother had already returned to the yard and put down the greens in her hand, and the excitement on their faces was self-evident.

The two parents are usually people who rarely show their joy, anger and sorrow on their faces, but this time, the two were too excited, which made the speculation in Ergou's heart faintly solid, and the expectations in their hearts were even greater.

The two parents quickly cleaned up, and the group of three walked quickly to the temple at the top of the green mountain through the path between the mountains and forests.

The three of them walked a little faster, and along the way, both parents were saying some words to repay the old Taoist priest. Ergou also silently swore in his heart that he must take good care of the old Taoist, and he has always done this.

After a while, the three of them could see the top temple, Ergou felt that today even his mother, who rarely entered the mountain on weekdays, did not shout tired, nor did he rest, his father hunted in the mountains and forests all the year round, although he is now old, but this road is still difficult for him, and Ergou himself is also a young man and naturally does not feel tired.

It was already very close to the temple, and the general outline of the temple had already appeared in front of him, and then his father's ears moved slightly, and he immediately stopped, making a cautious look, and the slightest wind and grass that had been hunting in the forest all year round could not escape his ears.

Ergou frowned slightly, he also heard some noises, and the source of this sound seemed to come from the temple.

"Ergou, you stay and take care of your mother, I'll take a look..."

"Dad, you take care of my mother, I'll take a look..."

The father and son said almost at the same time, but the two dogs didn't care so much, and after saying that, they jumped a few meters away, leaving their mother in a hurry.

"Father, leave me alone, go and see," the mother looked anxious, for he had heard the voice, and his eyes could see that from time to time something had collapsed inside the temple, making the smoke heavy.

"My son has grown up!" the father, sighing lightly, took his mother's hand, and followed the steps of the second dog.

"Hehe, old Taoist, don't toast or eat, eat and drink!" Before the second dog man arrived, he heard an arrogant and domineering voice in his ears.

"Hmph, even a few of you little dolls dare to influence my decision?" I saw the old Taoist priest facing four big men, an old man in a green shirt, without any fear.

The four big men obviously listened to the orders of the old man in green shirts, and the old man in green shirts was already a little angry at this time, he was the housekeeper of Ye Dafu in Qingshan Village, and Ye Dafu was notoriously rich in Qingshan Village.

The family has a wide range of fertile fields, several servants, and even a housekeeper to help manage the housework, but he is only famous and rich in Qingshan Village, and he is just a non-mainstream character in Qingyun County, and naturally there is no place for disciples of Wangyun Sect.

This time, I heard that the Wangyun Sect recruits disciples once every ten years, and Ye Dafu also happens to have a twelve-year-old son, after knowing that there is an old Taoist priest in the temple who has this quota, Ye Dafu thought about sending someone to invite him, and it is best to treat him with courtesy, otherwise he will be forcibly arrested, and I have to say that he has made preparations for his son.

The housekeeper began to treat the old Taoist priest with courtesy, considering the old Taoist priest's age, he specially prepared a sedan chair to facilitate him to take him down, of course, when he went up the mountain, he personally experienced the sturdiness of the sedan chair.

And when they first came, the old Taoist priest was also polite to them, although he did not pour tea and water for them, but also accepted the gifts they brought, originally the housekeeper thought that the old Taoist priest would follow them after receiving something, but he did not expect the old Taoist priest to accept the gift, not only did not go with them, but even a clear answer did not give them, but also said that there were many people who gave him gifts, but there was only one place, he liked to recommend whoever he wanted, he wanted to recommend whoever he wanted!

The angry official finally couldn't help it, and it was not easy to explain to Ye Dafu if he didn't complete the task and returned to the village, so he had to ask someone to forcibly kidnap the old Taoist, but they all underestimated the old Taoist, and the four big men couldn't get close to him for a while.

Ergou was anxious, looking at the temple should be fighting, and when he used his fastest speed to rush to the temple hall, he saw four burly men, lying on the ground outside the hall wailing and rolling, and the old Taoist priest sat on the wooden chair in the hall and swayed, so uncomfortable, and there was an old man in a green shirt below who was stunned and looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.

"What's going on!" Ergou saw that the old Taoist priest was fine, and immediately relieved his heart, at this time the momentum was soaring, menacing, and an arrow rushed to the only old man who could stand at this time, no matter how old he was, he grabbed his shirt with one hand and lifted him, and clenched it into a fist with the other, and was about to smash it down.

"I... I... I..."Although the old man is old, he has experienced a lot of things, but he has not yet experienced being questioned by someone like this, he said bluntly, he is just a subordinate who works for people, and his usual arrogance is to his subordinates, looking at the appearance of the two dogs' small fists that will be smashed down at any time, for a while, fear, fear, emotions came to his heart, and he stammered.

"It's okay, it's okay, a few people can't deal with my old bones," the old Taoist priest got up and said slowly.

At this moment, Ergou's father and mother also came to the outside of the main hall, the mother was stunned by the scene in front of her, and the father stepped forward, snatched the old man in green shirt from Ergou's hand, and asked like Ergou, "Ye Laoer, what's going on!"

The poor old man in green shirt was brought over by the two fathers and sons, his father grew up in the village since he was a child, although he did not go to the village for many years, but he still knew some of the things in the village, and he naturally recognized the second housekeeper Ye Dafu in front of him, and he thought that the four people lying on the ground were knocked down by the two dogs.

"Fan'er, Fan'er, let me see if I'm hurt," the mother stepped forward and took Ergou's hand, up and down a lot, and only relieved when she saw that he was okay.

"Dad, mother, it's okay, these people are all cleaned up by the old Taoist priest," Ergou said, pointing to the four people who were wailing on the ground.

Only then did the couple see that the old Taoist priest standing in the main hall walked out with a whisk in his hand, his face full of disbelief.

"It's okay, it's okay," the old Taoist priest motioned to his father to put Ye Lao Er down.

As soon as his father threw it with one hand, Ye Lao Er let out a miserable scream and fell to the ground, and the four people on the ground saw this and went up with a low wail, helping him up, and the five of them just helped each other to go.

When Ye Lao Er passed in front of the two dogs and his son, he showed a look of resentment, but he didn't dare to show a little dissatisfaction with the old Taoist, because he had seen the power of the old Taoist, and he knocked down the four big men in three or two clicks, and he was not soft at all.
