Chapter 96

Wang Shi and his party continued to climb the mountain and went to Qingshan temple. It was early in the day, and several of them were practitioners, so they did not feel tired. Li Baizhu was much more interested in the young Taoist priest at the mountainside than in other things. Therefore, after walking half way up the mountain, Li Baizhu was somewhat interested in the young Taoist priest.

Although Wang Shi and the nomad were both disciples of Taoism, they did not come to the green mountain temple. After walking and stopping, they were confused and felt as if they could not find the green mountain temple. Leng pingxue, the two female teachers of Luoshui academy, always looked calm and said little when climbing. When they saw that they could not find the green mountain temple, they simply stopped, Stand and rest by the mountain road.

Wang Shi stood on one side with a cool expression. However, he was a nomad close to Li Baizhu. Seeing that the female gentleman was not very interested, Wang Shi asked with a smile, "what's the matter, Mr. Li, I think the mountain is boring."

Li Baizhu looked at the young Taoist priest and was unwilling to talk to him. So he shook his head and came to his elder martial sister and asked in a low voice, "elder martial sister, can Taoists in this mountain get married?"

Leng pingxue looked at her younger martial sister and whispered, "it's not heartless to practice Taoism on the mountain. How can't we get married? Apart from those Buddhist monks who will never marry, neither Taoism nor Confucianism forbids these things. You, if you grow up a few years later, you may also get married in a red wedding dress Is it time to marry an academician who is so knowledgeable that no one can compare with him, or just find an ordinary person? "

Li Baizhu raised his head and said with a smile, "the man I want to marry must be the most learned scholar in the world. The elder martial brothers in the Academy will forget it. They will go to the Yanling academy to choose. Otherwise, I will not look up to anyone."

Leng pingxue joked: "if this is the most learned scholar in the world, the scholars in that school Palace are not counted."

"Then I won't marry." Li Baizhu has a happy disposition, but he never tangles with anything.

Leng pingxue didn't want to continue to study this topic. After thinking about it, Leng pingxue shook his head and said, "this time you go up the mountain, you can just play. You never thought about what we can do in this Taoist temple. The real big action still needs to be done by Mr. and the Taoist priest."

Li Baizhu nodded, but then asked about Li Nianshan, who was washing his clothes and robes. Leng pingxue turned a deaf ear to him. When he didn't hear of it, the four continued to climb the mountain a quarter of an hour later.

This time, after walking along a small road, I finally saw a large courtyard. A young Taoist was sitting in the yard at the moment, with a pair of scissors in his hand, cutting paper.

Because he was too serious, when the four Wang Shi came to the body, they didn't find out. They just lowered their heads to study whether the things they cut could be used. Wang Shi did not say anything. He just looked at the things cut by the Taoist priest and found that besides some happy words, there were also various kinds of small animals. Perhaps because of the lack of proficiency, these paper-cut could not be counted How to look good, but the young Taoist is very serious, as if he is treating something and cherishing the Taoist scroll.

When the young Taoist priest finished cutting the happy words in his hand, he raised his head and saw the four people who had stood in front of him for a long time. He got up in a hurry and laughed awkwardly.

Wang Shi reported to his family, and his reason has always been the mountain summer resort. The young Taoist nodded and laughed and said that it was cool on the mountain, which was true. However, it was not the reason for the mountain's height, which was rumored by outsiders. It was only the amulets written by the elders in the temple that they had a cool habit. When Wang Shi asked why he did this, the young Taoist priest said it was the mountain People are still needed to serve incense, or a large group of Taoists will be starved to death.

Wang Shi, who heard such a candid statement for the first time, was somewhat unbelievable. However, the young Taoist priest insisted that he did not conceal anything. The teachers in the temple never let them hide it. If anyone asked, he would say so. He was not afraid to let the people who came to the mountain feel that there was no immortal spirit on the mountain. He was not a fairy. Some people were more popular than others 。

First of all, he met a young Taoist who wanted to get married, and then he met a young Taoist who spoke so freely. Wang Shi had a better impression of the Castle Peak view than when he was at the foot of the mountain. However, Wang Shi could not draw a conclusion early because of these few words.

Li Baizhu was cheerful and looked at the paper-cut on the table and asked excitedly, "Taoist priest, is this for the Taoist priest on the hillside?"

The young Taoist priest was stunned and asked a question. After you met the younger martial brother, he said with a smile: "younger martial brother Li wants to marry. There is nothing good on the mountain, so we can only let the elder martial brothers do something together, but I haven't done it. Therefore, it's not good-looking in practice. I hope you don't dislike it, or I will be a senior brother I have no face. I went to ask for a drink when I got married

Wang Shi asked with a smile: "I heard that Li Daoyou said that he married a woman at the foot of the mountain. If so, did Li Daoyou and the temple have no worries?"

Wang didn't finish the story, but in fact everyone knows the meaning.

When a monk steps on the road of practice, the more he steps forward, he will be able to live for a longer period of time. A monk with a high realm can even live for hundreds of years. However, an ordinary person is actually no more than a hundred years old. If two people get married, it can't be said that one will still be in the prime of his life, while the other will be gray haired.The young Taoist didn't avoid this kind of problem, but explained: "the younger martial brother didn't show his talent for cultivating Taoism, and it's hard to make progress in the mountains these years. After making up his mind to marry a wife, he had already scattered all his accomplishments in the hall of merit and virtue. In fact, he was no different from ordinary people, so it was not a big deal."

The nomad frowned and asked, "if you have cultivated yourself, you will be scattered?"

The young Taoist priest said with a wry smile: "my younger martial brother has a free and easy nature. He has been practicing Taoism on the mountain for many years. He has not asked for anything. He doesn't feel embarrassed at all. But if this matter is put on any other martial brother on the mountain, he will certainly not be so free and easy. Therefore, master often says that there are many Taoists in the mountain, In fact, no one can compare with younger martial brother. "

Li Baizhu said softly: "to give up the cultivation road for a woman, the Taoist priest doesn't know how much he likes that woman."

Wang Shi laughs but does not speak, just turns to look at Leng pingxue.

Many nomads said, "maybe according to the Taoist priest, this woman is his way."

As soon as his eyes brightened, the young Taoist priest looked at the nomad and said with a heartfelt smile: "Master said the same thing. He said that the younger martial brother had failed to realize Taoism in the mountains these years. He could not remember the Scriptures. He could not learn Taoism well. It was not because of his stupidity. It was because the Tao was not here. He was thinking about the woman and was unwilling to delay for a moment after he got the girl's promise No, it's so urgent. It must be the girl. Shifu said that Tao is everywhere between heaven and earth. Everyone's way is different. Since you can find it, it's a good thing. Younger martial brother will still stay on the mountain. Anyway, it's up to him. No one on the mountain stops him. "

Leng pingxue finally opened his mouth and said with some unhappiness, "you have no rules in this mountain."

No one would be very happy when he heard these impolite words. However, the young Taoist priest was not annoyed at all. He just said that he wanted to send the paper-cut to the mountain as soon as possible. However, it was a bit troublesome for him to receive tourists who went up the mountain. Li Baizhu, with his eyes shining, volunteered to send the Taoist priest to the middle of the mountain She felt bored when she was on the mountain. The young Taoist agreed with a smile and handed it to Li Baizhu after packing up her things. Then she told him, "after seeing the younger martial brother, please ask the girl to give a message for Xiaodao and tell him that the betrothal gift prepared by the elder martial brother will also be sent down the mountain in these days, so that the younger martial brother can never worry."

Li Baizhu took these things, nodded one by one, and said with a smile: "don't worry, Taoist priest. I'm sure I will bring things and words."

Then Li Baizhu looked at his elder martial sister. Leng pingxue's expression did not change. After Li Baizhu got up, he followed him to the bamboo house on the hillside to investigate the incident on the mountain. In her opinion, there was no younger martial sister in fact.

Wang Shi frowned after the two female teachers of Luoshui academy went down the mountain and went halfway up the mountain. Originally, he wanted to make the two female teachers of Luoshui academy be witnesses. Now both of them have gone to the bamboo house, and he is not good at doing anything. After asking the young Taoist priest, he said that he would go shopping.

The young Taoist didn't stop him and made a Jishou to send the two fellow Taoists away.

After Wang Shi had walked a long way, the young Taoist took his seat again, took up his pen, dipped some on the cinnabar on the table, and wrote a talisman.

The symbol of cinnabar on the yellow paper slowly takes shape.

The young Taoist nodded with a smile, "younger martial brother, elder martial brother doesn't have any skills. These things still depend on the master."

-

before Li Baizhu and Leng pingxue got to the bamboo house on the hillside, an old Taoist in yellow Taoist robe had already come to the bamboo house with a lot of things in his arms. He watched his little apprentice washing clothes in front of the pool. After putting the East and West together, the old Taoist priest took a small bamboo stool and sat beside Li Nianshan and rubbed his head.

Li Nianshan said bitterly, "master, I'm going to get married in a few days. Why are you still rubbing my head? It's not smart."

The old Taoist priest chuckled and gave him a chestnut. "Your favorite girl says that you are a stupid Taoist all day long. Does master know? Since all of them have been stupid Taoists, it doesn't matter if they are more stupid. "

Li Nianshan frowned. "Master, what you said is unreasonable. You are stupid. If you are more stupid, you will be disliked by her."

The old Taoist priest was helpless. He didn't know how many years his apprentice had been up the mountain. At that time, he didn't know how many white eyes he got, but he didn't care about it. Now it's better. If you have a girl to marry, I'm afraid others will dislike him. He feels that his master is worthless in your eyes?

Li Nianshan stopped washing clothes, turned to look at his master, and asked with a smile, "master, if you are interested in visiting me today, are you having any problems when you look at the Taoist scroll? Ask if you want to ask. I won't tell other senior brothers."

The old Taoist nodded with a smile, but he didn't open his mouth. He just gave Li Nianshan another chestnut. Li Nianshan covered his head, which was quite helpless.

The old Taoist priest took off his shoes and socks, ignored Li Nianshan's disliked eyes, put his feet in the pool, and said with great care: "Nianshan, after marriage, it's not like cultivating on the mountain. All kinds of things like firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, etc. have to be involved. They are not as good as we are in the mountain. Do you really want to have a good life The daughter-in-law who wants to support herself can't rely on the elder martial brothers to help her all her life. "Li Nianshan said with a smile: "I had a plan for a long time. After getting married, I would chop some green bamboo in the back mountain to make some small things to sell to the foot of the mountain. The money is not much, but I think I have enough."

Li Nianshan felt that his idea was not bad, at least according to his current idea, it was absolutely feasible. Only his voice dropped, and soon he was hit by his master's Chestnut in his head. "How much money can you earn when you do these businesses? If your daughter-in-law wants to buy something, you must not pay for it. This expenditure is included? When you have a child later, you don't want this little guy to study. I don't know how much money it will cost. This sum is included in the sum. You need money to add quilts in winter, and money to wear new clothes in spring. How thoughtful of you? "

Li Nianshan, with a bitter face, asked cautiously, "master, can't we get married?"

The old Taoist priest put out his hand again and gave Li Nianshan a chestnut. He said with an angry smile, "it's not promising."

Li Nianshan is not melancholy.

The old Taoist took out a small money bag from his arms and handed it to his apprentice with pain on his face. He tried his best to show his indifference. "You don't have much money. You need to save money. Remember to find a reliable job. Don't let your daughter-in-law be appointed. Master, this generation is too long. You haven't met anything interesting. It's only when you get a wife that you can be a teacher It's interesting, but you boy, you don't let people worry. As a teacher, you've always thought that you have the most understanding. If you put all your heart into the cultivation of Taoism, you would have surpassed the elder martial brothers on the mountain. However, you'd rather be careless and think about other things all day long. Now it's better to just leave the big road and not go. If the ancestors on the mountain are still alive He said that he would not have to hang you in front of the hall of merit and virtue for a while to get rid of his hatred. "

Li Nianshan took the silver and was about to say something. He saw the two girls who had been up the mountain coming here. Li Baizhu, who had talked with him a few times, was holding a pile of paper-cut. After trotting here, Li Nianshan thrust himself into Li Nianshan's arms, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said with a smile, "little Taoist, this is what your elder martial brother on the mountain asked me to deliver, and he told you not to I'm worried about the betrothal gift. The mountain will handle it. "

Li Nianshan solemnly played a Jishou, sincere thanks, "thank you very much, miss."

Li Baizhu waved his hand to indicate that he was OK. Then he noticed the old Taoist priest sitting by the water pool. Li Baizhu let out a cry and quickly arched his hand and said, "Li Baizhu of Luoshui academy, I've met the master of sheep temple."

The old Taoist rubbed his cheek and asked in surprise, "how do you recognize me?"

Li Baizhu said with a grin: "before I left the Academy, the master of the Academy had shown me the portrait of the sheep Temple master when he was young It's vaguely recognizable. "

The old Taoist didn't agree. He just laughed and pointed to Leng pingxue in the distance. "It's said that there's a strange girl with a cold temper in Luoshui Academy. It's a girl named Leng. Is that her?"

Li Baizhu looked up at his elder martial sister with a guilty heart, and nodded a little embarrassed.

The old Taoist touched his beard and asked casually, "Why are you going to my castle peak instead of studying in your own academy? Do you know that my little apprentice is going to get married and join in the fun, but when did you have such a big face?"

Li Baizhu pulled the corner of his mouth and said: "no, we didn't know about the Taoist priest's marriage until we went up the mountain. If we had known it long ago, we must prepare gifts, so that we would not climb mountains empty handed."

The old Taoist waved his hand. "This is not the case on the mountain. I guess you Luoshui academy and the two little guys who keep their business view on the mountain are all here for trouble. But the poor Taoist is clean and there are no lice for you to look for."

Perhaps he has heard of it, but Li Baizhu, who has not heard this kind of statement, seems at a loss.

On the contrary, Leng pingxue in the distance has been watching this temple master on the mountain with vigilance. Although she is in the green silk realm, she is far from being the opponent of this temple master.

The old Taoist priest didn't notice Leng pingxue at all. He just recited some things in his apprentice's ear, which made Li Nianshan unhappy.

Finally, the old Taoist stood up and said that he was going to go down the mountain. Li Baizhu had no objection. She just wanted to chat with the Taoist priest.

When the old Taoist priest passed by Leng pingxue, he stopped for a moment to let the latter face the enemy.

The female gentleman of Luoshui academy looked at the old Taoist priest with vigilance and called out a sheep Temple master.

The old Taoist priest didn't pay attention to it, but said to himself, "I'm not afraid of the shadow. Several major events happened in the border these days, pointing to the castle peak temple. If you don't come, I don't think it's right. But you're guests. I've been looking into things, but don't get too far. He's been thinking about my apprentice's marriage for a long time. Don't screw it up. ”

Leng pingxue did not speak, but looked at the back of the old Taoist priest.

However, the old Taoist priest who had walked a few steps turned his head and said with indifference: "otherwise, I will be angry."
