Daoist Abandoned Wisdom

The group returned to the small courtyard that Tao Xinian rented. Although the courtyard was small, it was well-equipped with all internal organs. A tall plum tree grew in the courtyard, which shaded the sun and made it very cool. There were two rooms, kitchen and toilet.

Lu Yu said with emotion: "This place is very close to the inn where I live, but it is much quieter and the house is not bad."

"Come in and sit." Tao Xinian brought a cushion for Lu Yu, and the two sat around the table.Abo hurried into the kitchen and started washing vegetables and cooking.

Tao Xinian put the bought snacks and washed fruits on the table, thinking that no matter whether Lu Yu ate it or not, fruit snacks are indispensable for hospitality.

To his surprise, he only ate two pieces of dim sum, and the whole plate was empty.

Lu Yu said shyly, "I'm a little hungry..."

Tao Xinian laughed and said, "Eat more when you're hungry, Ah Bo's meal is almost ready."

When the food was served, Tao Xinian was completely shocked.Lu Yu, who thought he didn't need to eat much in Xiubigu, ate more than he and Abo combined.

Abo glanced at the rice cooker that was about to be empty, and asked, "Master, do you want to cook some more rice?"

Tao Xinian quickly asked him to cook, and then ordered: "Two more dishes!"

Lu Yu was stunned, and realized that he had eaten too much. He scratched his head in shame, and said, "I'm sorry, brother Tao, as soon as I see something to eat, I... can't control myself..."

Tao Xinian: "..."

Lu Yu explained: "I was repairing the bigu a long time ago, but the bigu was not done well, and instead I made a strange appearance. I have a full meal, and I can go without eating for a few days, but once I eat, I have to spend these few days. I will make up for what I haven’t eaten. The food in Jizhou is not very palatable, so I planned to eat some red dates and fruits and then bigu, but when I came to you, I couldn’t help it after seeing so much food..."

"This is really great. I heard that there are camels in the desert in the northwest. One day's full food is enough to meet the needs of traveling through the desert for many days. If Brother Lu encounters a similar situation where he can't eat or drink, he must be able to survive. " Tao Xinian said with a smile.

As soon as the words were finished, Abo's food came out, and Lu Yu was still in a hurry, and he didn't look like he was half full.

Tao Xinian didn't care about him, he just ate his fill first, and when he put down the bowl and chopsticks, Lu Yu had already eaten everything he could eat.At the end, he wiped his mouth contentedly, and asked, "Brother Tao, can I have a meal with you tomorrow? I'm going to give out rice and vegetables, just to trouble Brother Abo."

"Of course it's okay. Brother Lu, you don't have to be polite. I can still afford some rice and vegetables."

"Hey, this won't work, my appetite is not more than average."

In this way, Tao Xinian no longer declined.If he really asked Lu Yu to eat every day, Lu Yu would be able to eat up their monthly meal money in a few days.

At the beginning of June, Taoists came to Jizhou one after another.Although there are not many people here, almost all of them are representatives of various sects or Taoist temples.

For example, Lu Yu, he actually came to have a look on behalf of Nan Tianshi's authentic faction.But Tao Xinian did not see anyone from the Maoshan sect in Nanliang.Perhaps Tao Zhenren ignored the Daoist affairs a long time ago and was not interested in sending people to find out.Or it may be that the Maoshan sect lived in the deep mountains and never received any news.

He also found that most of the Taoists who came here were not the most powerful disciples of this sect.As far as Lu Yu is concerned, although it is not clear how strong he is, but according to what he said, he is not the chief disciple, but only ranked in the middle.

Among these Taoists, Tao Xinian got acquainted with another person, named Kou Huai, Taoist name Ling Xiao, who came from Pingcheng, and belonged to the authentic sect of the Northern Heavenly Master. Because he received the notice, he wanted to come and see what happened, so he came alone Jizhou.He is tall and tall. He often wears a black Taoist robe and a feather crown. He has a righteous face and looks like a big brother.Upon questioning, it turned out that he was a big brother from a certain Taoist temple in Pingcheng.

Among the people Tao Xinian met, there are only Kou Huai and Lu Yu, one is an authentic northern celestial master, and the other is an authentic southern celestial master, who comes from a great sect. The situation is much the same.It seems that all sects have doubts about this Jizhou Taoism Conference. Although they are somewhat interested, they are not willing to take the risk of sending the best talents.

Some of Tao Xinian's thoughts were also in vain. He originally wanted to see the Taoism of the strongest cultivators of various Taoist sects, but this time he probably won't be able to see it.We can only wait and see whether Kou Huai, Lu Yu, and the rest of the Taoists practice heresy but are very powerful.

All the Taoists who came to Jizhou felt that something was wrong, some of them returned decisively after knowing the situation, and the remaining Taoists were less than thirty.They waited until the fourth day of June, when a few fellow Taoists came one after another, but before they could hear about the Dharma conference, a strange thing happened in Jizhou city.

In the early morning of that day, a few crazy people ran wildly in the street, and they refused to recognize their relatives, and even committed their lives.Tao Xinian's eyelids twitched, he just felt that this situation was somewhat familiar, somewhat similar to that Cui Langjun.He, Lu Yuji and Kou Huai joined forces to arrest one person, and poked him on the forehead, but the soul was not lost, it was intact.

That's surprising.

While Tao Xinian was thinking, Lu Yu checked the man's eyelids, tongue, and felt his pulse, and said, "It's like taking Wushi powder, but it's not Wushi powder, it's better than Wushi powder. Much stronger, maddening drug."

"Can you solve it?" Kou Huai asked.

Lu Yu shook his head and said, "No, you have to get the prescription. Before that, you can only drink some medicine to clear your mind."

After such a toss, they didn't come up with any good solution, so they had to tie up these crazy people and send them back to their families to take care of them. There was nothing they could do.

Another day later, there were more and more madmen on the street, and the government had to come out to deal with them, but they were still helpless. They could only send patrolling soldiers to arrest them and send them home to tie them up.

what on earth is it?Tao Xinian asked Lu Yu and Kou Huai for their opinions, and the three of them went to a nearby family who had gone mad.

That family was living near Tao Xinian's rented house, only one street away.The three of them knocked on the door and explained why they came, and the woman who answered the door let them in.

It was the woman's mother-in-law who got sick in this family. At this time, the man in the family went out, leaving only her and the child.The woman's face was obviously tired, she must have not had a good rest.The woman's mother-in-law was trapped on the bed, her eyes were red, and she kept struggling.A child about XX years old was leaning against the window to watch them with big black eyes.

Lu Yu took the old woman's pulse and Tao Xinian asked about the patient's condition.The woman said that her mother-in-law was a good person, gentle to others, never offended anyone, and didn't like to go out on weekdays, only occasionally went to Tianjie Temple to offer incense.

Kou Huai turned around a few times, trying to see if there was anything unusual in the courtyard, but he didn't find anything unusual.Lu Yu looked at it for a while, and said, "It's the same as the one I met on the street before. I didn't lose my soul, but I took crazy drugs."

The woman asked anxiously: "What should I do? My mother-in-law only eats vegetarian food on weekdays. How can there be any crazy drugs at home?"

"Has your mother-in-law gone to the Tianjie Temple to have a vegetarian meal recently?" Tao Xinian asked immediately.

The woman thought for a while, and said: "The vegetarian meal... I have eaten it, and I ate it two days ago."

The three looked at each other and had an idea.Lu Yu left a prescription and told the woman a few words, and the three of them left.

Kou Huai said, "Go to Tianjie Temple?"

Lu Yu lowered his head and pondered for a while, then hesitated and said, "I always feel something is wrong, I'm afraid it's..."

Tao Xinian knew Lu Yu's concerns, and said, "Let's go find fellow Taoists first, and let's go for a walk around Tianjie Temple together. We'll explore the situation first, and we don't necessarily have to confront the people in the temple directly."

Kou Huai: "Xi Nian is right. We may not have to fight that monster when we go here. Maybe the monk is not a monster monk. It's hard to say if there is a misunderstanding."

Lu Yu finally raised his head and said, "Okay then, I'll listen to what Brother Tao said, and inform all fellow Taoists in advance to go to Tianjie Temple with us to have a look."

The three of them set out from the small courtyard and went to the inn to find the fellow Taoists they met a few days ago.Only Lu Yu and Kou Huai lived in Yue Keju, and the rest lived in two other inns.They went to the first one to ask. The inn clerk was cleaning the table without raising his head, and said: "You said those Taoist masters, they were lured away by a little Taoist boy, who said he was going to take them to meet some Taoists. long……"

Tao Xinian had a bad heart and said to the two: "Let's go to the next house quickly!"

However, when they arrived at another inn, the three of them were also told by the waiter that the Taoist had already left, and there was no one left. He was also taken away by a little Taoist boy. He didn't know the specific circumstances.

Lu Yu was obviously anxious, and said, "What should I do?"

Tao Xinian thought about it for a while, and said, "I'll go to the back to have a look. I remember that there are still a few fellow Taoists who don't live in these two inns. Please wait here for a while."

He turned around and ran to the back alley, and found two more, with the same result.Finally, he knocked on a house.

"Excuse me, is Daoist Qingchen here?"

A boy opened the door, followed by a woman.The woman said: "Yes, I will call him here."

Qingchen came over staggeringly with a wine gourd in his hand, saw Tao Xinian, recognized him at a glance, scratched his gray hair, and said: "Oh, it's Taoist Taoist, why, look for my old man Is something wrong?"

Tao Xinian didn't explain much to him, and asked, "Master Qingchen, have you brought the magic weapon?"

Daoist Qingchen patted his chest, then picked up the small bag on his waist, and said drunkenly: "Take... take it with you..."

"That would be the best." After saying that, without explaining, he pulled Qingchen's sleeves and ran out without looking back, "Kou Huai and Lu Yu are still waiting, please hurry up... ..."
