Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 313
Dao Palace gate.

Facing the Taoist's plain but direct words, the female Taoist shook her head and sighed:
"Shou Chu."

Aside from the occasion of outsiders, this is the first time Xuan Suning officially called his Taoist name.

And Li Zhen understood why she called her Taoist name instead of calling her directly "you and me" as usual.

So he bowed slightly, without any respect, but with the look of being open-minded and receptive:

"The disciple is here."

"People who practice the Tao should keep their hearts quiet. They should respond to ordinary laws, all dharmas, all things, and sentient beings. They should always be quiet and always be quiet."

After she finished her calm and sincere words, she saw a smile far cleaner than Bai Xue's on the Taoist's face.

Grinning with white teeth:

"Teacher, if you keep your mind quiet, if you destroy people and want to preserve the principles of heaven, what is it like with a stubborn stone?"

"..."

In an instant, Xuan Suning frowned.

keep the law...

Annihilation...

Before I had time to think about whether these six words conformed to or contradicted my Dao heart, I heard the Taoist ask again:

"Some people practice Taoism to become immortals, and some people practice Taoism to avoid the world. Some people ask for longevity, and some people ask for detachment. The Dao is fifty, and the sky is four or nine. Only one of them is left. Is this one the only one? The teacher's way, but The way of others? The way of others is what the teacher seeks? Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. Everything can be called Tao. So the teacher's "one" is the "one" of others?"

"..."

When Xuan Suning's eyes began to glow gradually, the Taoist shook his head:

"I treat the breeze like the bright moon, but not as bright as the moon to shine on my heart. I hope this heart is like a bird, with a blue sea every day and a heart every night."

After speaking, he looked up at the sky.

it's getting dark.

time to go.

Therefore, the Taoist made a salute:
"The teacher's way, or the way of heaven. But it's not my way. It's getting late today, and the younger students will leave first."

"..."

When he started to speak, the female Taoist who had been silent all the time did not keep him.

He just stood there, chewing his words over and over again in his mind.

listened.

It seems that he didn't listen.

understood.

It seems that I don't understand.

I was stunned on the spot for about [-] breaths, when I saw Taoist's back about to escape into the darkness... Suddenly, the other party turned his head.

Trotting all the way, the effort of three to five breaths came back again.

"..."

Xuan Suning is still silent.

Looking at the Taoist with a smirk on his face.

The Taoist's eyes are full of embarrassment:
"I'm so busy bragging, forgetting that my horse is still freezing in the back mountain."

While speaking, he bypassed Xuan Suning and ran towards the back mountain quickly.

It's just that this time the back view doesn't look chic, but rather guilty and embarrassed...

moment.

"Hey, hey, don't bite me!...Yes, yes, I was wrong, I was wrong, okay? Oh, poor thing, have you been frozen?...Bastard! Are you excited? Are you going to do it again? Bite your Daoist, believe it or not, the Daoist will freeze you to death!"

Next to my ears, there was the frustrated voice of the Taoist from the back mountain.

In the fluorescence of his eyes is his appearance of being chased and bitten by an old horse and fleeing in embarrassment.

Somehow.

Xuan Suning, who was standing there, suddenly burst out laughing.

"Ha~"

In front of the dark Taoist palace, after a hearty smile, fluorescent light flickered in the darkness, and the figure of the female Taoist had disappeared.

……

"Niubi, grandpa is in a good mood today! If it is normal, you plan to spend the night outside the city!"

"Hey, that's right, military lord, you hold your hand high, and I'm praying for you."

"Go, go, don't talk nonsense, go in quickly."

Stuck at the last time, under the urging of a soldier who didn't know whether he was rushing home to drink or to reincarnate, Li Laodao led the horse all the way into Luoyang City and returned home.

The bath water in the morning has been frozen into half a bucket of ice lumps.

Li Laodao, who had been bitten by the old horse several times, inserted his hand, took a lump of bath water, and threw it into the old horse's basin.

Let you bite your Daoist!
Drink your Daoist's bath water!

Satisfied, Li Laodao added two bowls of brown rice to the trough.

It's New Year's Eve.

Hearing the old horse chewing the food in the trough, Li Laodao went to the kitchen to light a fire.

In less than an hour, the meal was eaten and the charcoal fire was ready, so he brought it directly to the East Wing.After scalding his feet with a wooden basin, he took off the new clothes on his body, folded them neatly and put them aside.

I have to go to Xiangshan tomorrow.

At the age of thirty, Jin Wu couldn't help it.

This year is also the day when jugglers from all walks of life enter the city to celebrate the big victory, and it will definitely be very lively.In the daytime tomorrow, except for the people of Xiangshan and Longmenshan who are not allowed to enter indiscriminately, everyone around Yique can go to play casually.

He will go out early tomorrow, and the morning is the time for Yang Guang to burn the frame and sacrifice to heaven.

Civil and military officials will pray together for the coming year.

Then, the legendary "dragon boat" will arrive at Yique, and the 72 concubines of Yang Guang's Sangong Sixth Courtyard will enter the dragon boat. At that time, jugglers from all walks of life on both sides of Yique will start performing, and it will be lively The beginning of celebrating new year.

In the afternoon, the annual banquet bestowed by His Majesty will be held on both sides of Yique.

To put it bluntly, it is a buffet routine, where all kinds of delicacies are placed on the shore for the people of the world to enjoy.

These delicacies are all passed down from the royal family, which may not be a big deal to the rich.But for ordinary people... are those delicacies... not much more delicious than eating at home?
And after dinner, after nightfall, the main event came.

Not to mention how many juggling troupes Yang Guang will choose to go to the south of the Yangtze River with the dragon boat, the "gifts" of various schools of thought to celebrate the victory will also begin.

The gift in the eyes of ordinary people is like a cruel competition in the eyes of others.

On the one hand, he reveals his majestic background to the world, and on the other hand... he prepares for the next generation of imperial power.

And throughout the whole process tomorrow, Li Zhen followed Xuan Suning as a "disciple" to watch.

It was the first time to celebrate the Spring Festival in the Great Sui Dynasty, and Li Laodao, who had mixed feelings of joy and sorrow, burned his feet comfortably and entered the state of vipassana again.

Among the clouds, Zhenwu is still there.

The Taoist sat on the ground with clear eyes.

Slowly, he entered a mysterious state.

……

"Dang bang~"

"Ha ha!"

Li House.

After throwing an arrow into the pot, Zhang Ersheng let out an excited laugh.

Obviously only need to concentrate some energy to do the boring game with perfect accuracy, but it seems to be extremely interesting when it comes to Zhang Ersheng.

Looking at the four arrows in the pot, Zhang Ersheng turned to look at Xue Rulong:
"Boss Xue, if you can't hit all five, then this pot of wine is mine!"

"..."

Promised that he would never use the air engine to draw and lock, Xue Rulong, who was just competing for accuracy, stood on the edge of the east wall of the main hall twenty steps away from the pot and bottle, holding five arrowheads wrapped in cloth heads.

On the side, Mu Ci looked at her sister helplessly.

I don't know what's so interesting about the popular game of throwing pots among the human race.

Obviously only need to use Qi to pull and can achieve a hundred shots, but to make the heart-killing oath, you must never use it, you can only use the feel to feel the projection.

How boring.

On the other side, Li Zhong, who put the jug into the warm water basin, held the wine glass, and chewed fried beans, was also smiling and waiting to watch.

Seeing Xue Rulong hesitated, he said with a smile:

"You have to be more accurate. Just now, you boasted so much. If you draw a tie, you will lose. The old man has been burning knives for 40 years, but there is only one pot left. If you lose, I am afraid that you will lose all your life." I can't drink it."

"Haha~"

Hearing this, Zhang Ersheng smiled even more happily. Seeing that Xue Rulong didn't vote, he didn't forgive him:
"The cowardly rabbit can't get out of the hole~ Hey! Hey! Hey!"

"..."

Xue Rulong's hand holding the arrow trembled.

Seeing this, Zhang Ersheng got even more excited:

"The cowardly rabbit can't get out of the hole~ Hey! Hey! Hey!"

I don't know if it was a Yaozu nursery rhyme or something, anyway, she yelled very vigorously there.

"Humph!"

Xue Rulong snorted coldly, narrowed his eyes, and instantly threw the arrowhead in his hand... into the pot accurately!
but!

The arrowhead did go into the pot, but because of too much force...the pot was knocked down.Then, with the help of the force when it fell, under various mechanical principles of F=MG, the arrowhead unexpectedly fell out of the pot again.

"Ha ha!"

Zhang Ersheng cheered and raised his hands high:

"I lost! I lost! Hahaha! The wine is mine!!"

The extremely excited little fox picked up an old-looking wine jar on the table next to him without saying a word, and held it in his arms:
"Hahaha~"

"Hahaha~"

"Hahahahaha~"

While laughing wildly, she couldn't wait to tear open the mud seal, and under Xue Rulong's sighing appearance, she raised her head and took a sip...then...

"Ah! Uh... Hiss!!! Huh~~~~~"

Li Zhongzhen, who was chewing beans, laughed heartily when he saw the little fox's face flushed instantly from the heat:

"Hahaha, you little fox. Drinking with a burning knife, the wine lives up to its name. Drinking it is like burning a burning knife into your throat. This wine was the best liquor in the world back then. If you drink it like this, ordinary people will get drunk after just one drink. "

"Hoo... hiss... hoo..."

Zhang Ersheng obviously wanted to speak, but he couldn't.

flushed.

In the end, Mu Ci couldn't stand it anymore, picked up the teacup on the table and handed it to her.

I saw the little fox who looked like Erha gulped down a big mouthful of water, exhaled a mouthful of spicy alcohol, and had tears in the corners of his eyes:

"It's killing me!!"

"Hahaha~"

The room was full of Li Zhong's laughter.

And Master Huqiu, who sat at the table and poured himself a drink, was also smiling.

Tomorrow is the feast of the ministers.

Thirty years old, there must be no way to come back.

So I made some more dishes today, and it's like celebrating the New Year in advance to thank everyone for their hard work.

The original "family of three", with two more foxes this year, is much more lively.

She looked at the naive little fox who started to shake at this moment, and she was also happy.

After drinking a jug of wine in this joyful and peaceful atmosphere, and watching the game that started with "gambling on who can drink a glass of wine in one go", Master Huqiu stood up with some joy in his heart .

When she got up, Xue Rulong immediately looked over:
"grown ups?"

"Well, let's play, I'll go to Xiangshan."

Hearing this, Xue Rulong immediately left to prepare the horse.

But Master Huqiu stopped him again:

"Nothing, I'll go by myself. Prepare a food box for me."

As she spoke, she sighed with emotion:
"The old year is over... It's been a busy year, everyone should take a good rest."
