Chapter 37 Guazhou Crossing
Starting from Jinling and going north, within a few days, Mao Zheng came to Guazhoudu, not far from the south of Yangzhou City. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Along the way, Mao Zheng's mood is very good, and his expectations for the future make him feel as if there is a fire burning in his chest, and his whole body is warm.
When I came to Guazhoudu, it was already evening. After the heavy snowfall, the shore is all white, the north wind blows tightly, and the waves crash on the boat, which is very noisy. But these scenery looked in Mao Zheng's eyes, and these sounds became wonderful in Mao Zheng's ears.
Although the weather was cold, Mao Zheng still stood motionless by the side of the boat, looking at the scenery in front of him and smiling. Even though the night was down and it was pitch black, Mao Zheng still had no intention of returning to the canopy.
"It's cold, so you better come in quickly. If you get sick, you're in trouble. Wu Zhongshan saw that Mao Zheng hadn't come in for a long time, so he probed and said.
"Uncle Wu, don't worry, I'm not cold at all. To the north is Yangzhou City, and I think Yangzhou City should be similar to Jinling City. Mao Zheng replied.
"Who can see this black pitch clearly. If you want to go to Yangzhou City, I will take you there if I understand. Anyway, the itinerary is still early, and it is good for you to play for a few days and relax. Wu Zhongshan said.
"It's no problem to see the beautiful scenery at any time, but if I make a mistake this time, I will have to wait for three years. I won't go to Yangzhou City, but when I come back, I must have a good time. Mao Zheng said with a smile.
Wu Zhongshan just smiled after hearing this, persuaded Mao Zheng a few more words, and then went back to the cabin.
"'The spring breeze is on the south bank of the Green River, when will the bright moon shine on me?' Wang Xianggong passed by Guazhou in the spring, and he didn't know when he would be able to return to Jinling, so he would have such a sigh. But I'm different, and I'm going to go back next spring with fame. When the time comes, everyone will be happy for me. Mao Zheng thought like this, it seems that gaining fame is already something he is determined to achieve.
Another boat stopped at the Guazhou ferry, and out of the boat came a person dressed as a Taoist priest, looking up at the night sky, pinching his fingers and calculating what?
"What is the question chief, may I be able to help the Taoist if it's astronomy or something. Mao Zheng has often dealt with monks and Taoists since he was a child, and his impression of Taoists is very good, so he took the initiative to greet him.
"Oh, you're not very old, and you know astronomy, are you also a fellow Taoist?" The Taoist priest heard Mao Zheng's words, looked up, with suspicion in his eyes, and said with a hand.
"I didn't worship under the Sanqing Sect, so I can't be considered a Taoist disciple. However, I have had a lot of contacts with several Taoist masters in Maoshan since I was a child, and I have learned a lot of truths from them. Mao Zheng explained.
"I was originally a disciple of the Maoshan faction, and I was disrespectful and disrespectful. Liu Yushi, a poor Daoist, worshiped under the Changmen of the Heavenly Master's Dao. I don't know who your friend is?" said the Taoist with a smile on his face.
"I'm not a disciple of the Maoshan Sect, but the two Dao Masters of Lingyun and Lingshan have taught me a lot of things over the years, and I should respect them as teachers. In Xia Mao Zheng, I have also seen the Taoist. After Mao Zheng explained, he returned the salute and said.
"Lingyun Lingzhi has two Taoist masters, but they are the palace masters of the two palaces of Maoshan Mountain. If you didn't worship Maoshan Mountain, I'm afraid you won't even be able to see the two of them in person, so why don't you let the two of them guide you? Mao Xiaoyou won't be fooling me. Liu Yushi shook his head and smiled, obviously he didn't believe it.
"I really didn't lie to Daochang Liu. The two Dao Masters of Lingyun and Lingzhi also had the intention of accepting me as a disciple, but I refused for some reasons. However, the two Taoist leaders did not blame me, they still cared for me, and gave me a few things specially for this trip. Mao Zheng said.
"You actually rejected two Dao Masters? You really don't cherish it. If I had such an opportunity, I would not let it go. Liu Yushi listened to Mao Zheng's words, and slapped his hand on his thigh, as if he was the one who suffered the loss.
But Liu Yushi thought about it, Mao Zheng had such a high vision, it was a person of noble status, so he looked at Mao Zheng again: I saw that Mao Zheng was dressed plainly, and he didn't seem to be a rich and noble person; Liu Yushi was also a little uncertain in his heart.
"What was the Taoist chief just now? If there is something I can help, I will not refuse. Mao Zheng looked at the sky and said.
"I've just calculated that my trip this time is a blessing and a bad luck. But what is counted is ambiguous. I calculated that this time, I would have a great chance, and if I could succeed, my future in the Heavenly Master Dao would be limitless in the future. But I also calculated that I would encounter great danger, so I can't decide, I wonder if Xiaoyou can help the poor?" Liu Yushi said.
"It turned out to be a curse and a good fortune, I'm afraid I won't be able to help the Taoist. If I ask what the weather will be like next day, I can tell you a thing or two. However, Lao Tzu said: 'Misfortune and fortune are relied on, and fortune and misfortune are lurking' Misfortune and fortune always depend on each other, and great opportunities naturally have great dangers. I only hope that the Taoist can get his wish. Mao Zheng said.
"Thank you, little friend. Dare to ask Xiaoyou where he is going on this trip?" asked Liu Yushi.
"I'm going to Bianjing just to catch up with next year's spring. Mao Zheng said.
"I see, but there are still thousands of miles from Guazhou to Bianjing, and it is also very dangerous along the way, why don't you find more people to protect you?" Liu Yushi said tentatively.
"In the next family, the family is poor, and there is no extra money to hire guards. But I am open-minded and not afraid of any hardships and obstacles. Mao Zheng replied casually.
"I think so, Mao Xiaoyou got the guidance of the two Taoist masters of the Maoshan faction, and he must have a spell. Even if you meet a strong man, you will definitely be able to get out of it. Liu Yushi continued.
"I've learned spells before, but I've forgotten them all by now. But I'm not afraid to meet a strong man, this person always has to be reasonable, I have a clear conscience, who will harm me?" Mao Zheng said.
"Xiaoyou is right, with a clear conscience, who can do harm? I also wish Xiaoyou a smooth journey. Liu Yushi said.
"Thank you for your good words. This meeting is fate, this weather is cold, do you want to come to my boat and drink two glasses of warm wine?" Mao Zheng warmly invited.
"No, no, I still have things to do, so I'm not going. Liu Yushi said with resignation.
"I've been outside for a long time, and my body is a little cold, so I won't accompany the Taoist for a long time, and we'll be here for a long time. As soon as Mao Zheng gave up his hand, he turned around and returned to the cabin.
Liu Yushi saw Mao Zheng return to the cabin, and the smile on his face disappeared, but he opened his mouth and said, "Master, as long as I arrive in Guazhoudu, I will definitely have a chance." Maybe this kid is my chance?"
