Taoist priest Yuantong, got the bowl of hot rice, just eat it. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info still have to come to the village chief's house to bow and express his gratitude?

It's okay to express gratitude, but more, because I can't resist the temptation of wine and meat, I want to stutter.

Niu Hao beckoned Yuantong to sit down, and Sister-in-law Fu led the pious girl back to her room with interest.

With a smile on his face, Yuantong sat down at the table half-pushed and half-sat on the spot.

牛昊 says:

"It's all leftovers, if the Taoist chief doesn't dislike it, let's eat some together?"

Yuantong waved his hand at Niu Hao and said:

"When we are monks, we have to endure hardships. It's just that Xiaodao stepped into Kongming Mountain and became a disciple of Daomen, and he didn't dare to break his precepts and eat meat. ”

Niu Hao laughed and said:

"I don't think it's a big deal. Sacrifice to the gods every year, but they are all pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks, and there is no shortage of everything. It can be seen that the gods in heaven also eat meat. ”

Yuantong shook his head desperately at Niu Hao and said:

"I'm a mortal, how dare I talk to the gods in the sky. Don't dare, never dare. ”

Niu Hao took out a piece of meat from the basin and put it in his rice bowl.

Yuantong looked at it with blank eyes and couldn't help but lick his lips.

牛昊 says:

"Otherwise, the Taoist chief will pour some soup from the basin and pour it on the rice. It's better than eating rice, it doesn't taste at all. ”

Yuantong looked at the doors on both sides.

The village chief and sister-in-law each entered their own rooms and closed the door.

Yuantong turned to look back at the gate again.

The gate was closed, and the voices of those Taoist priests in the square could occasionally be heard outside the door, distant and intermittent.

Yuantong sighed at Niu Hao and said:

"To say, this cultivator is really hard. You can't marry a wife, have children, and you can't drink wine and eat meat. If you can really attain the Tao and become an immortal, it will be worth it. Like me, it's been 20 years since I stepped into the monastery, but I still can't find the method. Running around all day long, working as a coolie for the Taoist Academy. ”

Niu Hao picked up the wooden spoon, scooped up the broth with minced meat from the bottom of the basin, poured it onto the round rice bowl, and asked:

"Dao Chief, so many people are here in Baishang Ridge, are you looking for something?"

Yuantong picked up a piece of hot rice with broth and stuffed it viciously into his mouth. Hearing Niu Hao ask him, he swallowed the rice before he had time to chew it. The rice ball choked on his throat, choking so much that he stretched his neck and stared at his eyes. After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head at Niu Hao.

Niu Hao scooped up a spoonful of broth and poured it into Yuantong's rice bowl, Yuantong stirred the minced meat that covered the surface of the rice grains, and said to Niu Hao:

"We, all of us, were ordered by the Immortal Master of the Upper Court to come to Baishang Ridge to collect mountain soil and transport it to Hewan Town. As for what it will be used for, I really don't know. ”

Niu Hao looked at Yuantong.

Yuantong has small eyes, a pointed jaw, and a sparse short beard on his chin. When he spoke, a pair of eyes kept rolling, which made people feel that he was extra dishonest.

Niu Hao laughed and said:

"Looking at the length of the circular passage, it is the leader of those Taoist priests who go down the mountain who has the final say. The round channel priest also said that he didn't know, so he was being polite to me. ”

Yuantong was asked by Niu Hao like this, and he didn't know how to answer, so he lowered his head and picked up the rice in his mouth.

Niu Hao threw the soup spoon in his hand on the table, picked up the wine bowl, and sighed loudly.

Yuantong lied to Niu Hao. Yuantong also knew that Niu Hao could see that he was lying.

Swallowing the rice in his mouth, Yuantong raised his head and said to Niu Hao:

"I really didn't lie to you. We are in Baishangling, and we are only responsible for collecting and sending them to Hewan Town. There is also a group of brothers in Hewan Town, who have built a furnace and are responsible for smelting. But what to refine and how to refine are all instructed by the Immortal Master of the Upper Court. We do that. ”

Glancing at Niu Hao, Yuantong said again:

"The practice of our Immortal Master in the upper court has already been like a refinement realm. With us people, we can't guess the intention of the immortal master anyway. ”

Yuantong said, glancing at the broth in the basin. And he pretended to groan and said:

"Although we, the younger students, can't understand the profound intentions of the immortal master. But we have also been immersed in the monastery for many years. With our knowledge of the Dao ......"

Niu Hao picked up the wooden spoon, scooped up the broth and poured it into the rice bowl.

YTO went on to say:

"Since ancient times, Kongming Mountain has been the main court of the United States, and it should be in the center. So Baishang Ridge counts west. The west is one of the four directions. ”

Yuantong said, glancing at Niu Hao. Then he said:

"It's where the sun sets. Opposite to the five elements, it is the counterpart of gold. ”

Yuantong nodded vigorously as he spoke, and then said:

"So we guess that what the Immortal Master asked us to do was actually take the mountain soil of Baishangling and go to Hewan Town to alchemy!"

Niu Hao looked at Yuantong and couldn't help but open his mouth wide in surprise.

It turns out that Taoist priests also like money.

Taoist priests like money, but they can't make money by trading, so they simply dig around to refine gold.

That's too much trouble.

How many mountains and soil do you have to pound to make a tael of gold.

Yuan Tong took two mouthfuls of rice in his mouth, and seemed to feel that his speculation was unreliable, and said:

"We cultivators should have money like dung. Therefore, what the immortal master refines is by no means ordinary gold. Moreover, in the mountain soil of Baishangling, collect usable materials and exercise pills. ”

Then, with a mysterious face, Yuantong said to Niu Hao:

"To tell you the truth, the last time I was on Kongming Mountain, I overheard the conversation between the senior brothers in the upper court, saying that the immortal master watched the sky night and night, and he had calculated that the world would be chaotic in the near future. Immortal masters collect rare medicinal materials and refine pills, and they must also prepare in advance in case of emergency. You must know that whether it is a natural disaster or a military disaster, there must be displaced people who have lost their lives and suffered misery. At that time, everything will require us, the monks, to save the common people for the Heavenly Way. ”

Yuantong talked about it in a matter-of-fact manner, but Niu Hao was no longer interested.

Niu Hao invited Yuantong to come in, because he wanted to inquire about some news from Yuantong, and those Taoist priests from Kongming Mountain ran to Baishangling, what did they want to do.

But this Yuantong, I don't know if he is really confused, or if he is pretending to be confused there. After talking for a long time, it was all speculation, and there was no useful word.

Yuantong ate a big bowl of rice with broth, snoring, and couldn't get enough.

Niu Hao had already lost interest, so he let the Taoist priest lie on the table and drink slowly with a wine bowl alone.

Yuantong sat at the dinner table, rubbed for a long time, and didn't get another bowl of rice, and said with a smile at Niu Hao:

"Sorry. I have to hurry back to Kongming Mountain. Then, take your leave. ”

Niu Hao turned his head to look at Yuantong.

Isn't the soil dug up from the mountains sent to Hewan Town? Why did it change to send it back to Kongming Mountain.

Back to Kongming Mountain, this road will take four or five days.

Yuantong had already stood up and walked out.
