Volume 1 The Boy's Journey, the Descending of the World Chapter 3 See the Taoist Priest Again
Chapter 3 See the Taoist priest again
......
An hour of hard work, all the children who came to the school have been following the head of the practice to finish, according to the past, after the practice is over, everyone can go home, all the children are planning to go back, who knows that Li Jiaotou does not know where to come out, called all the children, let the age of fifteen how to intend to join the army to register, although this matter has nothing to do with Shi Yi, but none of us go first, Shi Yi will not go when this bird goes first.
When the child who was less than fifteen years old was doing nothing, Shi Yi saw the Taoist priest he met in the school yesterday, still dressed as always, a shabby Taoist uniform, a shabby gourd, but today he did not carry a burden on his right shoulder.
The Taoist priest was looking around, and suddenly felt someone looking at him, and when he looked back, it was the little ghost who greeted him at the door of the school yesterday, smiled, and continued to look back, sweeping over the sturdy children one by one, sometimes nodding, sometimes shaking his head......
After the Taoist priest swept over the children who were over fifteen years old, he didn't know whether to sigh or what, and then he set his eyes on Shi Yi, who were just over ten years old, and when he swept to Shi Yi, he paused for a few seconds, and then continued to look at the children behind him......
Shi Yi didn't know what this Taoist priest was looking at, every child took a look, and paused a few seconds when he saw himself, but Shi Yi felt that seeing himself was definitely not because of himself, because Guan Hu was next to him, if he talked about physique, Guan Hu might be one and a half Shi Yi, nor Shi Yi was short, but this Guan Hu was too well developed, although he was just eleven years old, his physique was obviously as big as a normal person of fourteen or fifteen, so when Guan Hu was with Shi Yi, Shi Yi did not stand out, if there was anything special, it could only be said that Shi Yi's eyes were brighter。
When it was almost noon, the head of the school was willing to let these children go, and some of the children were already hungry and had no strength, and as soon as they heard that they could go, they ran out of the school field like a honeycomb. Shi Yi was also pulled by Guan Hu, and left the school field as if he was half walking and half running......
After all the children were gone, Li Jiaotou ran to the Taoist priest, "Heavenly Master, do you think there is anyone who is satisfied with the children who have reached the age of fifteen this time?" , Don't look at Li Jiaotou's usual unruly appearance, but in front of this heavenly master, there is no temper at all, others don't know, but he knows how capable the Taoist priest in front of him is, he saw with his own eyes last time that there were a few bandits who didn't have a long eye to rob this Taoist priest who didn't even have a complete Taoist robe, and then this Taoist priest waved his hand lightly and beat this group of bandits who didn't have long eyes to fly, it was really flying, so in the heart of our sect leader, this unfathomable Taoist priest really has a spell that only the legendary gods have, if he can have a good relationship with him, it does not guarantee his fortune。 Thinking of this, Li Jiaotou suddenly smiled again on a face that could no longer laugh.
"Although there are a few good seedlings, but at this age, it seems to be a little older, and this time it's not a big deal, just find a small handyman, you have to be able to bear hardships and stand hard work, of course, the more fit the better." The Taoist priest said casually.
Hearing this, Li Jiaotou immediately understood, the relationship is not to find any disciples or the like, and to find someone to work, this time it will be difficult for him, there are a few family relations in this Yunshan Town is quite deep, their children can't let him be pushed to the view to do chores, otherwise he will also be in trouble. Thinking of this, his eyes rolled and he suddenly said, "Since none of these children and crowns have been able to enter the Heavenly Master's Eyes, then what should I do below?"
The Taoist priest waved his hand and said, "Forget it, since you don't have a chance, you don't have to force it," and as he spoke, the Taoist priest also slowly walked out of the school......
In early spring, there is sometimes a light rain, and it is not sunny in the morning, but it is also a light rain in the afternoon. Shi Yi borrowed an umbrella from the second uncle, and carried a pack of bacon wrapped in paper in his arms, this bacon was given by the second uncle, this year's inn business was good, the boss gave each person a piece of bacon, the second uncle usually didn't like the taste of this bacon at home, the second uncle gave this bacon to Shi Yi, so that he could supplement his nutrition. Due to the rain, Shi Yi didn't need to help in the inn anymore, so he said goodbye to his second uncle and walked around the house with an oil-paper umbrella.
......, "The bacon given by the second uncle is so fragrant, I should have no problem eating a piece", just thinking like this, Shi Yi held the oil-paper umbrella with his right neck, took out the oil-paper bag wrapped in bacon from his arms with his right hand, carefully picked out the smallest piece of meat, and quickly wrapped the rest, while sending this small bacon to his mouth, he was about to carry this package of bacon into his arms, at this time......
"Shi Yi", an unfamiliar voice called out Shi Yi's name.
Shi Yiyi was halfway into his mouth, and he heard someone call his name, although the voice was not familiar, he turned his head and saw a figure that he had seen for two consecutive days, still the Taoist priest who was dressed in tatters, but very clean......
Shi Yi quickly chewed the meat, swallowed it, and then asked, "Dao Chief, are you calling me?"
When the Taoist priest saw such a scene, which was completely different from the scene he had originally conceived in his mind, he was also stunned for a moment, and said casually, "Is your name Shi Yi?"
"Eh," Shi Yi was also a little speechless when he heard it, he could call his name, how could he ask again.
When the Taoist heard the sound of his forehead, he immediately reflected, thinking that he was embarrassed at this moment, and hurriedly said, "Of course I know that your name is Shi Yi, just now...... It was just another ...... Double-check, yes, double-check. ”
“...... , Daoist, do you have something to do with me?" he continued to ask as soon as he heard this.
"It's okay, there's nothing special, I just want to invite my friends to enjoy the light rain together. The Taoist said mysteriously.
Hearing this, Shi Yi was also puzzled, he didn't know what medicine was sold in this Taoist gourd, thinking that the bacon in his arms still needed to be sent home, but he was curious about what the Taoist priest in front of him was doing, and he suddenly felt embarrassed......
The Taoist priest saw that the little friend in front of him did not answer, thinking that he understood himself as a charlatan, so he hurriedly said, "Xiaoyou, don't worry, I am not a charlatan, my surname is Wu, my name is Wu Ming, and I am known as Wu Ming." After speaking, Daoist Wu Ming also stroked his beard.
"Nameless Daoist?"
"It's Wu, the Wu of the army, the song of the birds, the head of the Wu Ming," hearing that the kid in front of him had called his name wrong, he was speechless in his heart, and hurriedly corrected.
"Ao, Daoist Wu Ming, that's the case, it's not that the kid doesn't want to enjoy the rain with you, it's just that I don't have time, I still need to send this bag of bacon to my home", he said, and took out the oiled paper bag wrapped in bacon from his arms and gave it a look at Daoist Wu Ming.
When Wu Ming heard this, he also smiled, and then said, "It's okay, in this case, how about I rush to Xiaoyou's house with Xiaoyou, I don't know if Xiaoyouhuan is welcome?"
"Since the Taoist chief has this intention, the kid is better to be respectful than obey his fate, Taoist chief, please."
......
"Shi Yi, how old are you this year?" Wu Ming asked as he walked.
Shi Yi saw that the Taoist chief did not have an umbrella, so he leaned the oil paper umbrella on the top of the Taoist chief's head, due to the lack of height, Shi Yi also tried to raise the oil paper umbrella high, and heard the Taoist question, Shi Yi also replied, "Shi Yi is just over ten years old this year."
"Well, it's not bad to be so smart at the age of ten, Shi Yi, in addition to telling you poetry and songs, has your Mr. Wang ever told you about the outside world?" Seeing Shi Yi's efforts to cover himself from the rain, Wu Ming was also a little touched in his heart, but he didn't stop it.
"Is the outside world outside of Yunshan Town, or outside of Zhuoshan County?"
"For example, the entire Tang Kingdom. ”
"Oh, that's right, Mr. Wang told us, he sometimes tells us some stories of heroes and heroes, including places outside Zhuoshan County, such as Nanyang County, Beishan County, Donghai County and so on."
"Well, I still know a lot, so let me ask you again, do you want to be a literati or a military general when you grow up?"
"I don't want to be a literati or a military general, I want to be a hero who walks the world."
"Oh? interesting, why don't you want to be a literati or a military general, instead of being a hero?"
"I don't know ......"
"Don't know?"
"Yes, Dao Chief, to be honest, I really don't know, maybe it's because of what Mr. said, the pride of chivalry touched me, but I can't say for sure, and it doesn't seem to be all because of that." Shi Yi said honestly
"I don't know, but this answer is actually very interesting." Dao Chang said with a smile.
"Shi Yi, then let me ask you, why did you want to become a generation of heroes, but you didn't learn martial arts?"
Hearing this, Shi Yi's face darkened, he lowered his head, looked at the shoes under his feet that were stained with mud due to the rain, and replied in a low voice, "Dao Chief, I am not the material for martial arts, the head of the sect said that I am not suitable for martial arts, and no one in our family knows martial arts......"
Seeing Shi Yi's gloomy expression, Wu Ming also had an answer in his heart, and continued, "Didn't your husband tell you the story of some people who met a strange person and then became a generation of grandmasters?"
"Our husband has talked about it, but I always think that it is too ethereal, how can it be so easy to meet a ......", before the words were finished, Shi Yi suddenly got stuck, looking at the Taoist priest in front of him, the time and place are favorable, there will not really be such a thing! "Dao Chief, are you also a martial arts master?" was still a little lacking in confidence, so Shi Yi hurriedly asked.
"......", Wu Ming thought that it would be time for him to pretend to be mysterious, but Shi Yi's question made him feel embarrassed.
"Who said that the priest doesn't know martial arts, if I don't have a few moves to walk the world, then I would have been robbed by bandits a long time ago?"
