Daoist Abandoned Wisdom

Chapter 083 The Venerable

On the street, Abo felt novelty in everything he saw. Tao Xinian found a clothing store, which had ready-made clothes.After choosing among a pile of ready-made clothes for a while, I felt that the size of one of the suits was just right for Abo, so I let Abo try it on.Abo was very happy to put on the new clothes, smiling from ear to ear.

"Is this one good?"

"Okay, I like it."

"Pick another piece of material and let them measure you."

Abo chose a green piece from the colorful fabrics. Tao Xinian asked Che Anxing to ask the price, and he wanted to pay.Unexpectedly, the post station officer following them paid the money first.

Tao Xinian wondered, "You really pay for everything you buy?"

Tao Xinian walked all the way, and Abo liked everything he saw, so Tao Xinian bought him all kinds of food and a few gadgets for children to play with.When he was about to pay, the petty official rushed to pay, for fear that he would not greet well.

Tao Xinian also felt ashamed for paying too much, but fortunately they didn't buy anything expensive, only Abo's clothes were a little more expensive, but they were only one tael of silver.

"This King Gaochang is very rich, do we spend money on everything?" Abo smiled brightly.

"Well, probably. But let's buy less things. After all, we have to take them with us when we go back. It's troublesome."

Abe nodded.

There are many temples in the city of Gaochang, and the scale is larger than that of the Southern Liang Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty. The pagodas are towering, and the bells of the temples can be heard endlessly.Beside a temple, Che Anxing stopped, said a few words to Yuan Yao, and entered the alley.

"What's wrong?" Tao Xinian asked.

Yuan Yao stood where he was, and said: "We are waiting for him here. He said, that person seems to be here."

"Which one?"

"People who can let people see the past life."

Tao Xinian's heart skipped a beat twice, feeling a little uneasy, but also faintly expecting.If he could really see the person who made him voluntarily become a evil star, it would be one of his wishes.But he told himself that the past life is not important, what matters is the present.So what if you see it?It's already a thing of the past, and it should have been forgotten long ago.

"I... I don't need to look, let's go."

Yuan Yao took Tao Xinian's hand and said, "Since we are here, if we have this opportunity, let's go and take a look. It's okay but I have a wish. After you see it, tell me what kind of person he is."

Che Anxing quickly came out of the alley, and said: "His lord said that he wants to meet with him before deciding whether to practice the practice. After all, some people don't have past lives."

Tao Xinian hesitated and didn't move, Yuan Yao grabbed his shoulders, pushed him lightly, and said, "Go try it, try it, then you don't have to worry about it."

Abo also said: "Master Dao, it's so interesting, I want to see it too. I don't have a previous life, but you do. I want to know what happened in your previous lives."

Tao Xinian really took this matter to heart.Although the events of a few lifetimes ago have long passed, and living in the present is the most important thing, but being able to see the past life is still very tempting to him.He took a step forward and walked towards the deep alley.

The deep alley leads to the back door of the monastery. I walked along the path, passed several monks guarding the door, and entered a small dark room.

The rest of the people were left outside by the gatekeeper, and Tao Xinian walked in alone.Several oil lamps were lit in the dark room, and the gods and Buddhas were enshrined in the back, and a small lotus lamp was lit in front of each Buddha statue.But somehow, there was always a dark feeling in the room.

Sitting in front of the low table was an old monk who was said to be over a hundred years old.Tao Xinian couldn't speak nonsense, and was worried that he couldn't communicate.The monk smiled and stretched out his hand, beckoning him to put his hand on the slightly glowing glass ball on the low table.The glazed ball was as big as a bowl, emitting a faint blue light.

Tao Xinian stretched out his hand and put it on the glazed ball.At that moment, the light of the glazed ball seemed to become a little more dazzling, and the eminent monk nodded with a smile, which seemed to mean that he could see the previous life.

The monk said a few words in a language that Tao Xinian could not understand. Seeing that Tao Xinian was confused, he called the monk by name and repeated what he had just said.Not long after, Che Anxing's voice came from outside the door: "His Holiness said that he can help you see your past life."

Tao Xinian said: "I already knew about it in the previous life, what I want to see is me before the third life."

He was very puzzled, could this monk really help him see exactly the life he wanted to see?Could it be just a trick to deceive people?

Che Anxing said a few words to the guarding monk in front of the gate, and the guarding monk passed on a message to the eminent monk.The eminent monk nodded, stretched out his hand, and pressed Tao Xinian's hand.

The lights went out and the wind blew up.Except for the light of the glazed ball in front of my eyes, I couldn't see anything else.Tao Xinian looked at the glazed ball, and closed his eyes under the guidance of the Venerable.

In front of him was a rolling mountain range. He saw a young man riding a donkey, wearing a bamboo hat and smiling, walking down the hillside along the path in the valley.

The boy was about seventeen or eighteen years old, his face was immature, and he looked innocent.He played the flute, and countless birds responded.

The boy walked out of the valley along the path. Outside the valley, a man in black armor was riding on a horse, as if he was waiting for someone.

Tao Xinian's pupils suddenly dilated, he recognized this person, it was Gao Chen.Gao Chen is still alive.

Unexpectedly, they recognized each other a few lifetimes ago.

After the young man came out of the valley, Gao Chen got off his horse and bowed respectfully: "Excuse me, are you a master disciple of Master Nanling?"

The young man stopped and said with a smile: "Exactly, you are the one waiting for me to come out of the mountain?"

"I'm under Gaochen."

"My name is Dorian."

"Little Master, please follow me, Dazai is waiting for you."

Tao Xinian floated in mid-air, quietly looking at himself and Gao Chen before the third generation, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.Why Gao Chen?

As soon as the screen changed, Daolin followed Gao Chen to the army.The weather seemed to be getting colder, and their clothes gradually became thicker. Daolin was the first to recognize Gao Chen in the army, and the relationship between the two became better.

Looking at the two people who were laughing, Tao Xinian felt the deep friendship between them, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth unconsciously.

Looking at the costumes, Gao Chen and Daolin probably lived in the same time, one hundred and fifty or sixty years ago, when Wu Huranhua came to rule the Central Plains.The army that Daolin and Gao Chen are in is the Yan army, which is dominated by Xianbei people.

It was a gloomy era, and there were far more wars than today when the North and the South were divided. There were war dead and starving people everywhere.

Daolin, who had just entered the world of mortals, was shocked by the cruelty of war not long after he was happy because he made friends.War is not what he wants, and it is even more not what he wants to see his comrades injured.Therefore, Dorian often tried his best to cast spells, pulling his seriously injured comrades back from the death line, and exhausting himself.

In the last scene, Tao Xinian saw Gao Chen who was nailed to a tree by an arrow and covered in blood.Gao Chen held his breath, unwilling to die.Daolin came on horseback, Gao Chen didn't see Daolin, so he took his last breath.Dorian crouched beside him, and heard the wish of his heart.

The Yan army was unexpectedly attacked and defeated, and no one survived. Gao Chen wanted to rush back to the barracks to report to Dazai.Dorian stood beside him dumbfounded for a long time, and then at last made up his mind of some kind.

The light dissipated, the glazed ball shone slightly, and the lotus lantern enshrining the gods and Buddhas of the heavens was rekindled. Tao Xinian's pupils adapted to the light, and his mood calmed down a little.

At the last moment, he seemed to feel Daolin's mood, he wanted to fulfill Gao Chen.

The Venerable smiled at him, and Tao Xinian bowed slightly in return, full of thoughts in his heart.The door opened slowly, and Ah Bo's voice came: "Master Dao, you have finally come out, you have been in for almost an hour!"

"Really? It's been so long."

"How? What did you see?" Ah Bo asked excitedly.

Tao Xinian said: "You see, in my life, I was also a master of Taoism."

"Yeah, so what you saw is true?"

"Well, probably."

"This is really interesting, I want to see it too." Su said from the side.

"His Holiness only receives one guest a day," Che Anxing said.

Tao Xinian was immersed in the emotions just now, a little absent-minded.Yuan Yao hugged his shoulders and said, "Go back, it's snowing."

Tao Xinian raised his head, and sure enough, snowflakes began to fall.He gathered the padded jacket on his body and walked slowly towards the post station.
