032 Soulmates are hard to find
Wang Baoyu didn't care about Luo Yao, Zhang Zhuoyi was in front, and there were some words that he listened to, and it was difficult to ensure that there would be no chaos.
Zhang Zhuoyi first arranged for Luo Yao to stay, and then took Wang Baoyu to a remote mansion, and said politely: "Baoyu, your cultivation is too low, it is better to study with Tong Lao for a while!"
"May I ask the Dharma Protector, what are you learning?"
"Tong Lao, Tong Yansong, is a talisman master, of course you have to learn to make talismans, although the work is harder, but you can earn more spirit stones, which will help improve your cultivation. Zhang Zhuoyi said.
"Thank you very much!" Wang Baoyu clenched his fists heavily.
"You're welcome, if it weren't for the cultivation of my mentor when I was a child, I wouldn't be here today, and when no one is there in the future, you and I will be brothers!" Zhang Zhuoyi said.
"Okay, thank you, brother!"
Zhang Zhuoyi knocked on the door, and an old voice came from inside, dissatisfied: "Who! Disturb me to make talismans, you will compensate me for the spirit stone!"
"Tong Lao, I'm Zhang Zhuoyi!"
"Protector Zhang, wait a minute!"
After a while, the door was opened, and an old man with a scruffy beard and disheveled clothes appeared at the door, with small eyes and a big mouth, and he was really ugly.
Although the old man looked unbearable, the entire Dongyue Gate talisman came from his hands, and naturally included the fireball talisman used by Wang Baoyu and Luo Qian before.
"What is this kid doing?" Tong Yansong looked at Wang Baoyu and asked unceremoniously.
"Tong Lao, he is the son of a meritorious man in the sect, and he sent him to you as a disciple. ”
"You're always so unauthentic. Tong Lao shook his head, and then beckoned: "Boy, come in, be diligent in your work, don't let me nag all the time." ”
Zhang Zhuoyi didn't go in, turned around and left, and Wang Baoyu was mixed up with a strange old man.
The garden is full of bales of grass, and the house is surprisingly messy, with yellow paper crumbs everywhere, and a wooden table in the corner of the wall with a guqin is also dirty.
Only one jade table appeared clean, with a square of rune paper on it, and a delicate brush next to it.
"Sweep the ground first!" Tong Yansong ordered unceremoniously.
Wang Baoyu was stunned, it seemed that he had not done the work of sweeping the floor in several lifetimes.
"Stunned, hurry up!"
Looking at the old man's cultivation, that is, in the early stage of foundation building, but under the low eaves, he had to bow his head, so Wang Baoyu had to bend down to clean the house thoroughly and wipe the guqin clean.
During the whole process, the old man leaned back on a chaise longue with his eyes closed and did not speak.
"Old Tong, after the house is cleaned, what can you do?" asked Wang Baoyu.
The old man did not speak, but fell asleep. Wang Baoyu walked out of the house and sat alone on a wooden pier in the small courtyard, feeling an inexplicable loneliness.
There is an emotion in my heart, called missing, and the people who are worried about it are far away.
It wasn't until the moon rose that the old man woke up from his big dream, angry: "I've slept for so long, hey, outside, I don't know how to wake me up." ”
"You didn't tell me to wake you up. ”
"What a laziness!" the old man stretched, "boy, how many days are you going to work here?"
"What do you mean?"
"It's hard work, and it requires care, and I have too many apprentices to count. Batch after batch, well, mostly stupid and lazy, all of them were driven away by me. Tong Yansong asked again: "Can you stay for a few days?" ”
"It's hard to say, let's try it!"
Tong Yansong shook his head, he was not confident when he heard it, he asked lazily, "What's your name?"
"Wang Baoyu!"
"It's a rustic name. ”
"The body is skinned, and the parents who receive it, no matter how earthy the name is, it must also be used. Wang Baoyu said.
"It's useless to talk about it less. Tong Yansong waved his hand: "By the way, you only have a fifth-level cultivation, how did you get into the Tianxuanmen?"
The old man's memory was still problematic, and he forgot about it, so Wang Baoyu had to explain: "My father is the former protector of the Dharma here, and he is considered an exceptional promotion. ”
"I've only been here for 10 years, so I don't know what happened before. ”
"Haven't you been in Dongyue Gate all the time?" asked Wang Baoyu in surprise.
"I used to be a mage master of the Hongyue Sect, just because I broke a magic weapon, I was assigned to draw talismans in this broken place, so I don't blame me, it's obvious that there is a problem with the materials. Tong Yansong did not hide it, and looked quite dissatisfied.
"Mage masters, they should be respected. ”
"A group of bastards, not to say that I am not good at learning, caused serious losses, and almost killed Lao Tzu, so to put it mildly, I lost all the spirit stones, and I was sent here. Tong Yansong gasped and cursed.
"The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skin, and empty their bodies......" Wang Baoyu suddenly remembered these words and blurted out.
"What kind of nonsense are you talking about, go to the hut over there and sleep!" Tong Yansong frowned and waved his hand.
"Well, Tong Lao also pays more attention to rest. ”
"By the way, what's your name?"
"Wang Baoyu. ”
Wang Baoyu agreed, and then walked towards the hut in the wing, and the old man shouted from behind, "There are five elements fruit in it, you eat more for this kind of cultivation, tomorrow's work will be very tiring." ”
The hut was quite clean, it seemed that there had been a monk living in it before, and there was a plate of fresh Five Elements Fruit on the table, which was a luxury for the monks of Qingchuan Castle.
Wang Baoyu sat down and adjusted his breathing, but he didn't dare to practice, because practicing would allow him to release his true cultivation, and he might be felt by the old man outside.
Tong Lao looks pretty good, but after all, he is still unfamiliar and doesn't dare to be careless.
After a while, just as Wang Baoyu wanted to lie down and sleep, he faintly heard the sound of the piano.
got up and pushed the door and walked out, and found that the sound of the piano was coming from the inside of Tong Lao's house, the doors and windows were closed, obviously not wanting to be heard outside, the monks needed to be quiet when they practiced, and the old man didn't want to cause trouble.
After finishing the song, Wang Baoyu knocked on the door, and an impatient voice came from inside, "Boy, if you don't sleep, what do you want to do?"
"It's the sound of your piano that draws me in, it's wonderful. Wang Baoyu shouted.
The old man quickly opened the door, and did not seem to be angry, then closed the door tightly, and asked with great interest, "Do you also know the rhythm?"
"I don't understand, but I appreciate it!"
"Okay! The people here are cold-blooded, they don't know the beauty of music, and they even hate noisy. Tong Yansong said.
"Mountains and rivers, bosom friends are hard to find, Tong Lao, I still want to listen to another song. ”
"Hehe, this is fun!" Tong Yansong laughed, plucked the strings in the past, and a mournful melody immediately echoed in the room.
"Boy, what do you hear?"
"With a faint affection and a touch of sorrow, the old gentleman must also have an unforgettable feeling. Wang Baoyu said bluntly.
"That's right, that she, in the years like flowers, suddenly withered. Tong Yansong sighed, and his eyes were moist.
"Sir, I seem to have a melody in my heart, I wonder if I can play a song for you?"
