9 Qingyang Palace
After Xiao Chen took Lin Feng and his party up the mountain, Wang Gui also set out for Qingyang Palace under the leadership of Tianyou. Although Tianyou was extremely unwilling to take the fat middle-aged man over the mountains, Xiao Chen told him to treat his friends well before leaving. Even if Tianyou didn't give Wang Gui face, he couldn't help but give Xiao Chen face.
"Fat man, why are you so slow? You just walked for a while and gasped like this?" When Tianyou turned around, he found that Wang Gui had fallen by him by ten or twenty meters. He was angry, so he shouted at Wang Gui behind him and used the almost funny word "fat man". He was very unnoticed to Wang Gui. If it hadn't been for Xiao Chen's reason, he wouldn't have bothered to care about Wang Gui's life or death. He was just a child and did whatever he wanted to do.
It is said that the age of 40 is the time when a person is rich and energetic, but Wang Gui's body has long been devastated by life. He can't keep up with the cheering child along the way. "God, how far is it? Uncle really can't do it. How about we take a break?" Wang Gui looked at the child and discussed.
"The Qingyang Palace is still far away. Aren't you going to visit an old Taoist priest? Besides, I haven't eaten at night. If you don't hurry up, it will be dark. Tianyou pouted his little mouth and said dissatisfiedly.
Tianyou is an orphan. Three years ago, in order to bring him a better life, his only father resolutely left another village, set foot on the land of Shanxi, and began his coal mining career, but he did not expect that the small coal kiln collapsed and he could never return to another village. Tianyou didn't know the exact situation of his father, but Xiao Chen told him that his father had gone far away and might take a long time to come back. For more than three years, Xiao Chen has been taking care of Tianyou alone while taking care of his sick aunt. The three years of getting along with him has made Tianyou have a great sense of dependence on Xiao Chen. If it hadn't been for Xiao Chen's existence, maybe Tianyou could have seen his father three years ago. Perhaps in the hearts of the villagers in another village, Tianyou is a child who is ignorant of the world, but no one knows that Tianyou has regarded Xiao Chen as his greatest benefactor in this life in his heart. He can even give his life to Xiao Chen. If anyone dares to treat Xiao Chen badly, he will work hard, although he is still just an eight-year-old child. .
"Since you call me fat, you must also know that uncle is very fat. How can you have so much strength to climb mountains?" As a last resort, Wang Gui had to fool Tianyou with a fat man, and hoped that this elf's tricky child could be kind-hearted.
A pair of cunning and intelligent eyes stared at Wang Gui, "Do you know you are fat and eat so much? Usually, it must be people who don't work. People who don't work are the scum of society. It's not very useful to live. Fatty, I think you are similar to those people. Tianyou hates people who don't work. Those people rely on their money to do evil and drive famous cars to flirt with good women, so Tianyou will not give them a good look.
Tianyou's words made Wang Gui feel guilty for a while. Although he has been working conscientiously for the past 20 years, he has occasionally done scenes. At this moment, in the face of such an innocent child as Tianyou, Wang Gui is a little embarrassed, but after all, he is used to the wind and waves, which shocked his heart. Then he walked to Tianyou, who had been staring at him, and said, "Tianyou, my uncle is just to make a living. Besides, how can I say that I'm a bad person if I didn't rob a house, kill someone and set fire? Forget it, uncle, I don't want to rest. Let's go now.
There will be no fragrance of flowers and birds on the mountain road, and of course there will be no overgrown weeds. After all, this is a national tourist scenic area. Following the artificially developed stone steps, one old and one young, one in front and one behind, to the Qingyang Palace on the mountainside. During this period, Wang Gui went on with great endurance and endured pain. Whenever he couldn't go on, he would look at Tianyou's innocent back and think about what Tianyou just said. Maybe this was the method used by ancient scholars to stab the head. Although it was stupid but easy to use.
Because of time, when Wang Gui gasped and came to Qingyang Palace with Tianyou, there were almost no tourists in the palace. The gatekeeper of Qingyang Palace seemed to know Tianyou. He smiled and joked, "Little devil, why don't you come so late? Is it that any master in the palace wants to take you as an apprentice and ask you to preach and teach in the middle of the night? Oh, no, you must have fallen in love with some baby in the palace. You want to be a Jiangyang thief. The gatekeeper is an elderly man, bald, dressed in ordinary clothes, trousers and a white coat.
"If you want to steal, go to your house to steal it." Tianyou said angrily and looked at Wang Gui and said, "Don't pay attention to him. Let's go."
After watching Tianyou and Wang Gui take a few steps, the old man muttered, "This little guy ate gunpowder today. Why is he so rushed?"
The buildings in the Qingyang Palace are very simple, with pagodas and pavilions and ancient characters, which do not seem to have been eroded by the flashy society.
After jumping over another stone step, Tianyou looked at Wang Gui and said, "Fatty, go in. This house is the old Taoist priest you told me about. It's time for me to go back. Aunt Xiao's medicine hasn't been cooked yet."
Wang Gui nodded and said, "Although you called me fat, you brought me here at least. I should also say thank you. There is a little money here. Let's count it as a reward for you." Wang Gui took out a leather bag from his pocket and took out a stack of money. Although the family was ruined, the skinny camel was bigger than the horse. He still had thousands of yuan. However, this is also Wang Gui's only remaining possession. Wang Gui also planned to be a Taoist priest from now on. From now on, he will be carefree and live a clean life. It is useless to ask for this money. .
A trace of stubbornness appeared in Tianyou's eyes and said, "Fat man, are you humble of me? Ghost Chou said that a gentleman loves money and has a way to get it. I won't take this money. Anyway, you are also a friend of Ghost Chou. If Ghost Chou can see you, I will not look down on you, although your appearance is very annoying. By the way, this bottle of wine was given to you by ghosts. He said that he couldn't drink with you. He was a little sorry. This bottle of wine was regarded as a apology. A navy blue porcelain bottle, very small, with quaint patterns, maybe the wine inside can be poured down in one bite.
In a small amount of contact, Wang Gui knew that the child in front of him was very stubborn and the decision would not change, so he did not insist on letting Tianyou accept his own money. After taking over the porcelain bottle, he learned from the appearance of the ancients and looked at Tianyou and said, "Tianyou, see you later."
"It's really sour." Tianyou muttered and then turned around and trotted away.
Wang Gui smiled, and then he had time to carefully look at everything in front of him. The door in front of him was made of wood that Wang Gui could not call. There was a plaque hanging horizontally on the door, with four simple and vigorous characters "The way of heaven is common".
"It's a pleasure to have friends coming from afar. Please come in." An old voice.
Pushing the door and entering, Wang Gui saw an old man with crane hair and childish face sitting cross-legged on a futon. From his distant memory, Wang Gui found that the old man in front of him seemed to be a little familiar. "Taoist priest, you are the one I met in Qingcheng Mountain 20 years ago."
The old man smiled and said, "You are poor, but I had a relationship with you twenty years ago."
Although there are few decorations in the room, there is a feeling of ethereal silence in life. Looking at the old man, Wang Gui said, "Youshan Taoist priest, I have no care about the world. I want to be a Taoist priest, and from then on."
Youshan smiled again and looked at Wang Gui carefully. "You want to be a Taoist priest, but a Taoist priest is not what you want to do. The ancestor stipulates that you must be predestined to be a Taoist priest. I might as well tell you one thing. Although I am 100 years old this year, I have only one apprentice in my life, but he has left a long time ago. The Qingyang Palace has been opened.
Wang Gui was stunned. Is it so difficult to be a Taoist priest?" Youshan Taoist priest, Wang Gui just wants to be a Taoist priest and live his life without concern.
"Okay, since you insist, I promise you, but I don't have much time. 20 years ago, I barely survived the disaster before I was 20 years old, but this time I was exhausted." Youshan brushed the long beard and said with a slight smile.
The bright moon slowly rises behind the pagoda, and the hazy moonlight is projected on the mountain's face through the window. It is a face full of blue veins and dust, full of the vicissitudes and ruthlessness of the years.
In the back mountain of Qingcheng, in the eight-door golden lock array, Xiao Chen continued to squat on the ground doing nothing. Lin Feng continued to concentrate on running back and forth to study the secrets of the eight stone gates. The windbreaker woman seemed to be calm.
"Since you are afraid, why bring us to the ancestral cemetery? Aren't you afraid when you came? The eight-door golden lock array in the ancestral cemetery is not easy to break. The windbreaker woman looked at Xiao Chen with a playful smile.
"Who knew there would be a bird array here, otherwise you thought I would come back? Do you have enough to eat?" Xiao Chen was a little impatient. This woman didn't think about breaking the array, but always looked at her jokes intentionally or unintentionally, which simply destroyed her humanity to the extreme. Therefore, good-looking women are all thorny roses, and they must not be provoked.
The windbreaker woman looked at the impatient Xiao Chen and smiled faintly and stopped talking. She knew that she was just asking for fun, so why did she touch this bad head? This is a woman with great wisdom, a woman whose intelligence and force are unfathomable. Although she is simply squatting there, she has a tough momentum to compete with. A woman who can do this simply makes men no longer have the courage to live.
However, Xiao Chen is different. The woman has already said that he is an unruly person, a clever unruly person everywhere. Since he is already such a person, why should he be afraid of the windbreaker woman? If you can't beat it, you can run. If you can't say it, you can shut up. In short, Xiao Chen is not afraid of women in a windbreaker. At most, he is a little afraid. A kind of man who has no money and power will have fear when he sees a rich and talented woman. After all, in terms of momentum, Xiao Chen is far less than a woman, and he is more than one or two, but a generation or even a few. What you earn by climbing and struggling on behalf of others.
The momentum is a kind of invisible but real thing. It is a kind of thing that can take the head of the general in the millions of troops. How could Zhao Zilong come and go freely in the millions of troops without momentum? Xiao Chen is not Zhao Zilong, nor does he have his momentum, but no one may in the future.
