After telling his story, the village chief looked at Niu Hao and Sister-in-law Fu and asked:

"What are you here for?"

福嫂 says:

"We were instructed by a master to meet Emperor Baishang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Niu Hao then asked:

"Does the village chief know how to meet Emperor Baishang?"

The village chief shook his head.

"The people in our village have lived at the foot of the Baishang Mountains for generations, and no one has ever seen the true face of the Mountain Emperor. Let's just say that we, mortal eyes, even if the Mountain Emperor stands in front of us, may not be able to recognize it. ”

Niu Hao turned his head and glanced at Sister-in-law Fu.

What should I do?

Or, wash the pious girl, tie it with a rope, and carry it into the shrine of the Mountain Emperor like a sacrificial pig and sheep, and let the Mountain Emperor take it himself?

Sister-in-law Fu asked at the village chief:

"Those Taoist priests in the village ......"

It's okay not to mention Taoist priests, but when it comes to those Taoist priests, the village chief looks angry. 半晌 says:

"Those Taoist priests said that they came from Kongming Mountain, and they came to Baishangling on the order of the immortal master to find something. But when I asked them what they were looking for, I didn't say anything. It is to block the mountain pass of Baishang Ridge and prevent others from entering. The villagers came to me to complain, saying that those Taoist priests had delayed the livelihood of the big guys. But what can I do? Those Taoist priests can't even manage the government, can I manage it?"

As he spoke, the village chief pointed out the door.

"Just look at the miasma in the village that they have made it, and you will know that they will not toss lightly in the mountains. I hope they won't provoke the Mountain Emperor to lose his temper, otherwise I, the whole village, will even lose my way to live. ”

Outside the door, there was a knock on the door. The sound of the door slamming seemed a little hesitant.

The village chief asked, "Who?"

The door was gently pushed open, and a chubby young Taoist priest stood in the doorway, squeezing a smile out of his smoky face, and bowing deeply to the village chief.

Seeing that it was a Taoist priest, the village chief instantly frowned, and he didn't even bother to ask, "What are you doing?"

The young Taoist priest seemed to have become accustomed to the indifference of the village chief, and begged the village chief:

"Village Chief, our senior deacon brother suddenly came down from the mountain, and I haven't cooked yet. The deacon's elder brother was hungry. I beg the village elder to show mercy and give me a bite to eat. Otherwise, Brother Deacon will rebuke me. ”

It was the Taoist priest who was in charge of lighting the fire in the clearing.

The Taoist priest begged the village chief, who frowned and glanced at the Taoist priest, and said impatiently:

"The first time you lit a fire, I taught you that the firewood rack should not be too dense, because the fire is not easy to ignite. It's been half a month now, but you're still so angry. Every night, you go to each house in the village to eat, either the junior brother is sick and wants to eat a hot meal, or the senior brother is about to go into the mountains and wants to eat a hot meal. You are a Taoist priest who cooks, and you have to come out to beg for even a mouthful of hot rice, which is really stupid. ”

The village chief looked at Niu Hao as he spoke, and then said to the Taoist priest:

"My meal was bought by a guest who stayed at the hotel, and I didn't leave it. ”

The Taoist priest, who was told by the village chief, had a flushed face, and lowered his head to go out. Niu Hao stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Leave your senior brother alone, have you eaten by yourself?"

Niu Hao asked, the Taoist priest shook his head, his eyes stared at the food on the table, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Niu Hao took out a piece of meat from the basin and handed it to the Taoist priest, but the Taoist priest seemed very hesitant.

The village chief whispered to Niu Hao:

"Taoist priests don't eat meat. If you give up food, you can only give him vegetarian food. ”

Taoist priests do not eat meat.

But the Taoist priest in front of him, staring at the meat in Niu Hao's hand with a pair of eyes, revealed not only hunger, but also greed.

The little Taoist stared at the meat in Niu Hao's hand, hesitated, and finally couldn't resist the temptation, reached out to take it, and bit it into his mouth fiercely.

Niu Hao asked:

"What are you looking for in the mountains?"

The Taoist priest's cheeks were propped up, and he didn't have time to say anything to Niu Hao, just shook his head.

Niu Hao was not in a hurry, picked up the wine bowl and took a sip of wine gently, waiting for the Taoist priest to swallow the meat in his mouth, while wiping the oil stains on the side of his mouth, he said to Niu Hao:

"We came to Baishangling at the behest of the Immortal Master at the behest of the Immortal Master. I don't know exactly what you're looking for. I am only responsible for cooking for the senior brothers, and I am not allowed to inquire about the rest. ”

The Taoist priest knew that he had eaten the food handed by Niu Hao, but he did not answer Niu Hao's question, which was a bit of a loss. Asked Niu Hao:

"Are you going to give up my vegetarian food anymore?"

Niu Hao said to Sister-in-law Fu:

"Serve him a bowl of rice. ”

The Taoist priest handed the rice bowl in his hand to Sister-in-law Fu, and said to Niu Hao:

"However, according to my guess, everything collected in the mountains should have been sent to Jiangwan Town. I just heard the senior brother who came down from the mountain say that after eating, he would be escorted to Jiangwan Town overnight. ”

Jiangwan Town, the place where Niu Hao saw on the way to come, emitted black smoke and blackened the sky.

The Qingjiang River turned around at Laolongtang, flowed through Qingyang City from east to west, and turned south again at Jiangwan Town.

Sister-in-law Fu handed the rice bowl with vegetarian rice to the Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest said to Niu Hao with a grateful face:

"The name of the trail is Qingping, thank you!"

After speaking, he went out happily with a rice bowl.

Sister-in-law Fu looked at the back of the Taoist priest, couldn't help shaking her head, and said:

"If you don't wipe your mouth if you eat secretly, you will be beaten. ”

Niu Hao looked at Sister-in-law Fu.

That Taoist priest wiped his mouth after eating meat. He wiped the grease stains on the side of his mouth before talking to Niu Hao.

Then Niu Hao thought that he hadn't wiped the oil on his hands.

The oil on your hands will rub against the bowl that holds the rice.

Taoist priests abstain from meat at four o'clock a year, and when they are accustomed to light and tasteless meals, they will be particularly sensitive to fish and meat. Even if it's just a little greasy on the rice bowl, it will be discovered.

Once the senior brother finds out that he does not abide by the precepts and eats meat secretly, it is really hard to say what kind of punishment he will receive.

The four people in the room were all silent, listening with their ears pricked up to see if there was the sound of the little Taoist priest being punished.

Outside the door, someone whispered:

"Trail, Yuantong, visit. Excuse me. ”

With the voice, a Taoist priest in his forties walked in with a rice bowl in his hand.

The rice bowl is the rice bowl that Sister-in-law Fu has just served.

Therefore, the Taoist priest in front of him is the Taoist priest Qingping who burned the fire, and the deacon senior brother he said.

The senior deacon came down from the mountain, and was in a hurry to eat a hot meal, so he had to escort the cart to Jiangwan Town overnight.

Niu Hao smiled on his face, waved at the Taoist priest, and said:

"Dao Chief, please sit in the room. ”

The village chief didn't like those Taoist priests, and he didn't like to share a table with them.

It's just that Niu Hao is a guest, and the host is a guest, and the village chief is reluctant but not easy to say.

Seeing that the Taoist priest walked in with a smile on his face, the village chief stood up and went back to his room.
