Weird past in the countryside

chapter 40

When the little girl heard it, her expression changed, and she asked, "Why are you looking for Qingxuan?"

Intuitively, I feel that this little girl must know Qingxuan.I quickly stepped forward: "Little girl, I have something important to do with Master Qingxuan. Do you know where he lives? Can you show me the way?"

The little girl smiled: "Come on, there are many people looking for Master Qingxuan, but not many can find this. I still advise you to leave quickly, Master Qingxuan will not see you." After finishing speaking, The little girl turned to leave.

I looked around, and there was no one passing by. It seemed that the only way to find Qingxuan was to rely on this little girl.Thinking of this, I quickly chased after him: "Little girl, I really have something to do with him, life is at stake. Besides, I, I am not an outsider, and the real Qingxuan is my master."

The little girl stopped and looked me up and down again.He squinted at me: "Just blow it up, I've never heard him mention it, and your grandson?"

I couldn't help being a little angry: "You little girl, I have been asking you for directions sincerely. If you know it, tell me, and if you don't know it, say you don't know it. Why are you so sarcastic? Is it necessary for me to use being a disciple as a bragging capital?" ?” After speaking, I passed her and walked up the mountain along a path.

The little girl obviously didn't expect my reaction to be so big, and she muttered behind her: "I'm not short-tempered, and I'm in a hurry." She raised her voice and shouted: "Hey, if you go that way, you won't find Qingxuan .”

I stopped walking and looked back at her.She blinked her eyes, expressing her doubts: "Real Master Qingxuan is really your master?" I puffed up my chest: "It's true."

Unexpectedly, when the little girl heard this, she covered her belly and laughed, beating her chest and stamping her feet.This was obviously beyond my expectation, I froze in place, looked at her and smiled for a long time.

Finally, she gradually calmed down, clutched her chest, suppressed a smile, and said to me, "Then come with me."

I cursed in my heart: "Weird, everyone in this place is a weirdo." But I still had to follow the little girl to another direction.Although the road she led me was not spacious and flat, it was not difficult to walk, but sometimes I needed to use both hands and feet, which looked more like climbing a mountain.I couldn't help asking: "Little girl, how far is it?"

The little girl didn't turn her head back: "I'm not called a little girl, I'm Yuling'er. Hurry up, turn around the hill ahead and you'll be there."

I walked and looked around, and this Qingtuo Mountain is indeed a good place for recuperation. It is really beautiful. Although it is early autumn, the trees are still lush and lush, and there will be turbulent mountain streams from time to time.

That Yuling'er climbed the mountain at an extremely fast speed, she kept walking on it, and she didn't even take a breath.But after I walked for a while, I was already so tired that I was panting heavily.After walking for a while, she would stop and wait for me, and she still sneered: "You are so stupid, you can't even walk past me, a little girl. I won't wait for you if you go so slowly."

I rolled her eyes and didn't speak, just followed her footsteps as quickly as possible.Yuling'er said it anyway, she still waits for me every time.

Sure enough, according to Yu Ling'er's words, after bypassing a small hill, a different scene appeared in front of him.I saw that the terrain ahead was flat, and there were several thatched huts on the flat ground, each with a large courtyard in front of and behind the huts.There are flowers growing in front of the house, and you can smell the fragrance of flowers from a distance.There seems to be vegetables growing behind the house, but it is not clear because it is far away.

Yu Ling'er pointed to those thatched huts and said, "See, your master lives there."

When I heard Master talk about the sect, I mentioned that although Xuanming of our school originated from Taoism, it gradually broke away from Taoism in the later period, and at the same time, it is also somewhat related to Buddhism, so it does not belong to any religion.Although Master didn't mention it, in my impression, Master Qingxuan should also live in a Taoist temple or temple, and he can be regarded as a master of Taoism.But today I found out that Master lived in such a simple thatched hut, which was beyond my expectation.

Before I could think about it, Yu Ling'er had already led me to the gate of the courtyard. The gate was also made of bundled tree trunks and branches. On the door was a board-carved sign: Qingtuo Yashe.Although simple, it gives people a feeling of paradise.

I was about to open the door and go in, when Yuling'er stopped me: "You wait here." Then she turned and entered the yard, her tone of voice didn't allow for negotiation at all, and I didn't know that Yuling'er and Qing Because of Xuan's relationship, he had no choice but to let him be at his mercy and wait outside the door.

Yuling'er ran and jumped into the thatched cottage.

I was waiting anxiously outside, when I heard an old voice from inside the room, as if scolding Yu Ling'er: "You girl, you always find trouble for me every day. Let him come in, let me see."

I saw Yu Ling'er coming out of the room and waving at me persistently.I was overjoyed, hurriedly opened the courtyard door, and ran to the door.Yu Ling'er pointed to the inside of the room, meaning, I'm done talking to you, it's up to you whether your business can be done or not.

I am very grateful to Yu Ling'er at this time.I nodded at her, opened the door and walked into the thatched cottage.

The first thing I felt when I entered the house was chaos, things were placed in a disorderly manner, one pile in the east and one pile in the west.The house is a typical northern rural three-room structure. The hall in the middle is a place for cooking and cooking, and a pile of firewood is placed on one side of the wall.The door of the room on the left is open, presumably Master Qingxuan is inside.

I walked to the door, not daring to go in rashly, I reached out and knocked on the door a few times.Unexpectedly, there was a roar from inside: "The door is not locked, knock what, come in and let me have a look."

As soon as I heard it, I quickly opened the door and entered the house.He saw an old man sitting on a chair head-on, with gray hair and beard, and his hair was messily tied together in a Taoist bun.His face was rosy, and he could be regarded as a child with white hair.He doesn't look tall, but he looks very well-proportioned. He is wearing a gray cloth robe with patches piled up in several places.No matter how I look at it, it looks familiar. It really looks like Master's tattered robe.However, the image of Qingxuan is quite different from my imagination. In my imagination, Qingxuan should at least be a fairy-like image with a flying Taoist uniform and a whisk in his hand, so that he can be worthy of his height. Identity.

Qingxuan was also looking at me, and he suddenly asked: "Listen to the girl, you say I am your master?"

I hurriedly knelt down and bowed: "Master, hello, I'm going to greet you." When I came, Master taught me a lot, saying that although the age is different now, the rules of the school should not be forgotten. It must be a great gift.

Qingxuan snorted: "Get up. Then who is your master? Xiaosan or Xitian?"

I respectfully replied: "Master, my master is Yuan Tianjun, Yuan Xitian."

Qingxuan gave a piss: "He dares to call Tianjun, shit."

I thought to myself that Master Qingxuan really had a weird personality, and I was a little at a loss standing on the sidelines.Seeing that I was still standing there, he called out: "Girl, move a stool over here."

There was a sound from outside, and Yuling'er moved a stool in and put it beside me.Qingxuan pointed to the stool: "Sit down, since you are also a member of the sect, don't be too polite, what's your name?"

I quickly nodded and replied: "Disciple Henry Zhang. My master has a letter here, please have a look at it." I took out the master's letter and handed it to Qingxuan.

Qingxuan took it over, opened it for a few glances, and hummed: "I'm tired today, so I'll talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to do. If you want to stay here for one night, if you don't want to stay, you can go down the mountain." Said Then, leaning against the back of the chair, he even dozed off.

I was a little anxious and was about to say something.Yu Ling'er quickly pulled me away, pulled me outside the house, and said in a low voice: "Master said, we can talk about it tomorrow, and it's useless for you to say anything else. I advise you to think about tomorrow's affairs."

I sighed: "Oh, that's the only way to go. You... um? What did you call him just now? Master?"

Yu Ling'er immediately straightened her waist, pretending to be mature: "Your name is Henry Zhang, right? Xiao Yangzi, come and see my uncle and my old man soon."

I was so startled that my eyes almost popped out: "What? Are you really Master's apprentice?"

Yuling'er imitated my tone: "It's true."

I thought to myself, if this is true, I really have to call her Shishu, no wonder she would laugh like that when she heard that I was Qingxuan's disciple at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing that I was still in a daze, Yuling'er turned her mouth away: "Oh, but I brought you here, why? You can't even call me uncle, be careful that I speak ill of you in front of the master."

I think the tone of Qingxuan and the girl's words seems to be true, and I think I still need to ask others, in order to do a good job smoothly, please pray.

I straightened my clothes, clasped my fists together, and swept the floor with a bow: "Meet my uncle!"

My somewhat comical actions made Yu Ling'er giggle.She also imitated my tone: "My nephew is free from courtesy." After she finished speaking, she couldn't help laughing.

After talking and laughing with Yuling'er for a while, I remembered what happened in Shanggou Village again, and I couldn't help frowning and sighing.

Seeing this, Yuling'er stopped laughing, took me to a stone bench in the yard and sat down, and asked me: "My nephew, what's the matter, please tell me first, maybe I can come tomorrow." Let me help you talk."

It makes sense when I think about it, it seems that Qingxuan dotes on Yuling'er very much, maybe she can really help.

I just sat on the stone bench and told Yuling'er the general story of the whole thing from the time I started teaching, and Yuling'er was very fascinated.When it came to the thrilling part, she exclaimed, and when it came to the happy part, she clapped her hands.

When I finish speaking, I want to ask Master to go down the mountain when I come to this point.But Yu Ling'er shook her head: "Then I guess you're coming here for nothing. Master has already set a rule for himself. If he doesn't step half a step outside the range of Qingtuo Mountain, he doesn't even bother to go to the ghost market below if he has something to do. It’s up to me to solve it.”

When I heard this, my heart suddenly turned cold.Yuling'er saw that I was downcast, and hurriedly came up: "My nephew, the things I heard from you are all fun. How about this, you go down the mountain this time and take me with you. I have never been out before." This green camel mountain is almost suffocating."
