Daoist Abandoned Wisdom

Cavalry in plain clothes embraced them into the military town.They stopped their horses in front of the barracks, Tao Xinian jumped out of the car, stretched a little, and was shivered by the north wind.He hurriedly got into the car, took out a thick scarf from the box, and learned from Yuanyao to wrap most of his face and neck, which immediately became much warmer.

"Xiuyuan! Why did you come to my desolate land?" A tall man in his 30s stepped forward. He had a Xianbei appearance, a high nose and deep eyes, and light-colored eyes. Unlike Yuan Yao, his complexion was darker, maybe it was Too much sun.With a smile, he put his arms around Yuan Yao's shoulders, "It's been a few years since I saw you. You are almost the same as before, but I'm getting old."

"Brother Mu, you are not old at all. The Empress Dowager ordered me to go to Gaochang. After passing here, I need Brother Mu to help me."

Tao Xinian stood aside, listening to Yuan Yao's tone, he knew General Mu very well.

"Hey, why are you being so polite? Just take what you need!" He turned his gaze to Tao Xinian and the others, "Hey, how many people did you bring with you? What do you call them?"

Yuan Yao introduced them to him one by one, and Mu Lang invited them into his residence.Because there was a report from the cavalry, he had prepared the food and wine, and waited for Yuan Yao to come to the door.

A group of them sat around a table, under which was a big kang with a fire, which was very warm.Tao Xinian sat beside Yuan Yao, took off the scarf around his neck, and looked at the residence.The four walls in the room are bare, and there is no decoration. The condition is not good, but it is spacious.It seems that General Mu has set an example and is a clean official.

This meal was mainly beef and mutton, and there were very few vegetables in this season. Tao Xinian only saw a plate of cabbage and a plate of pickled vegetables, and everything else was meat.Several people were already hungry, and when they saw Mu Lang move their chopsticks, they also went to pick up vegetables.

Abo picked up a large piece of mutton and ate his cheeks until he bulged.Tao Xinian wasn't too greedy for meat, so he picked up some cabbage first.In the northwestern border, the more winter came, the more rare vegetables became. He was afraid that he would not be able to eat them at all in a few days.

After eating meat, have a bowl of hot mutton soup to warm up your body completely.

When everyone was full, Mu Lang ordered his subordinates to remove the leftovers, and asked, "Would you like to go to the town while it's still dark?"

Yuan Yao glanced at Tao Xinian, saw that he was still in good spirits, and said, "Go, I haven't been here yet."

Tao Xinian rewrapped his scarf and got off the kang, thinking it was time to walk around.These days, I almost sit in the carriage, and my waist is sore from sitting.

It was not yet sunset when we left the barracks.Tao Xinian looked around and saw that the town was very small. Even though it was a military town, there were still ordinary residents.It was cold, and the people on the street were all wrapped up tightly, and there were not many people.They walked for a while, and along the way they saw only a small street with a dozen shops selling goods, and there were not many types.The people on the street greeted Mu Lang warmly when they saw Mu Lang.

Tao Xinian suddenly saw a jade shop, and then remembered that the jade pendant he was going to give to Yuan Yao hadn't been delivered yet, scratching his hair that was blown by the wind, he turned his head and walked to another shop.After watching too much, Yuan Yao would think that he wanted to buy it, so he might as well give him one.Although he has ample money at the moment, he doesn't want to buy anything more. After buying many things, he just puts them away, and it's useless if there are too many things.

He walked into a shop selling groceries, and there were seasonal fruits by the door, including winter dates and persimmons, as well as apples and hawthorns.He chose some of each, paid for it, and first handed a winter date to Abo. Abo happily wiped it on his sleeve, took a bite, and said, "It's quite sweet!"

After choosing some things I needed on the road, the sun went down before I knew it, and it got dark quickly.At this time, they had reached the end of the town, there were still a few families not far away, and the wilderness was beyond.Mu Lang said: "Have you had enough shopping? Let's go back after shopping. I asked my brothers to make roast lamb, and you can eat it when you go back."

Abo drooled when he heard this, and tugged on Tao Xinian's sleeve to walk back.

"Wolf! A pack of wolves is coming!" There were several shouts from behind, and several locals who hadn't returned home hurriedly fled on the street.

Mu Lang looked serious, and his soldiers pulled out their weapons one after another, lit torches, and were ready to go.He shouted: "Don't be afraid, the neighbors quickly hide!"

A few wolf howls were heard in the distance, Tao Xinian looked there, the wolf's eyes were shining with green light in the night, especially penetrating.

"General, there are a lot of wolves this time. I'll go back and ask my brothers to help." One of the soldiers said to Mu Lang.

They were accompanied by about a dozen small soldiers, but there were forty or fifty wolves who came, and they were not easy to deal with.

Mu Lang nodded and said: "Go! The rest of the brothers, get angry!"

Yuan Yao asked: "There are so many wolves looking for food in this town on weekdays?"

Mu Lang shook his head: "No, it's probably winter, and the wolves couldn't find anything to eat, so they went down the mountain together, wanting to eat the cattle and sheep of the villagers."

They confronted the wolves for a while. Although the wolves were afraid of fire, they couldn't stand hunger.The alpha wolf raised its head and howled, and the pack of wolves suddenly scattered, some of them rushed towards them, while the rest split up and rushed towards the places where there was no one on either side.

Yuan Yao patted Su Huan, signaling him to make a move.Su also blew on the leaves, and countless black figures suddenly emerged from the ground, fighting with the wolves.The soldiers of the garrison were stunned for a moment, and they all stood still without making a move.

Tao Xinian thought of the soybeans he bought just now, and his heart moved, he took out a grain from the bag, chanted a mantra, and threw the soybeans away.The soy bean turned around several times on the ground, and a black shadow emerged from the ground and slowly gathered together.

Abo took a closer look, isn't this the black dog?She was so frightened that she quickly hugged Tao Xinian's waist, trembling.

I haven't seen him for a few months, and Xiao Hei has grown up, with a strong physique, even taller than those wolves.When he saw Tao Xinian, he wanted to have fun, Tao Xinian pointed forward, and said, "Little Blackie, do me a favor and get rid of those wolves!"

Xiao Hei turned his head, with a fierce look in his eyes, and rushed towards the wolf.Abo peeped between his fingers, and saw that Xiao Hei rushed towards the pack of wolves like an arrow that had missed the string, tearing a wolf to pieces in an instant.After killing one horse, it turned to another horse, and it was also dealt with in an instant, even more powerful than Su Huan's evil spirit.

In a short while, forty or fifty wolves were dealt with by Su Huan's ghost and Xiao Hei. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing this situation, the common people ran out to congratulate, and insisted on sending a few sheep to the army.

Abo was so frightened that he shivered. Seeing that Xiao Hei was about to run back, he didn't dare to touch Tao Xinian, and jumped on Su Huan who was the farthest away from Tao Xinian. It would be good if he stayed away from Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei hadn't seen Tao Xinian for a long time, and he got rid of the wolf for him, and wanted to have fun with him.Tao Xinian patted its head, he didn't expect this little Yin dog to grow so big in such a short period of time.He said happily: "Xiao Hei, you are really good, I will take you to eat meat later."

Xiao Hei seemed to understand Tao Xinian's words, and barked happily a few times.A Bo covered his ears, his whole body was almost stuffed into Su Huan's clothes.Su also looked at Abo who was sticking to his body, and asked, "Are you so afraid of dogs?"

"Nah... Long-winded! Borrow a place to hide, don't be stingy!" He trembled.

Yuan Yao recognized Xiao Hei, and he saw it once when Tao Xinian called it out this summer, he said: "You dog grows really fast, it has grown so big in just a few months."

"Yeah, I thought it wasn't the one calling out." Tao Xinian said, seeing that Mu Lang and the others were going back, he turned to Xiao Hei, "Xiao Hei, let's go! Let's go back to eat meat!"

Tao Xinian knew that Abo was afraid of dogs, and when he saw Abo trembling beside Su Huan, he ordered, "Su Huan! Please take Abo behind later, he is afraid of dogs!"
