Daoist Abandoned Wisdom
Chapter 118 Returning to the Garden
Tao Xinian woke up again, as if a long, long time had passed.He stood up with difficulty, feeling as if his brain was going to lose his mind.
After the confusion when he first woke up, he found himself in Yuan Yao's room, lying on his bed.The familiar smell reassured him.
The yard was sunny, Yuan Yao came in from the outside, he stared blankly at Tao Xinian, then ran over happily and hugged him up.
"Ayao, what are you doing, let me down."
Yuan Yao leaned on his chest, confirmed that he was really awake, and smiled rarely.
"You finally woke up."
"How long have I slept?"
"More than half a month."
Tao Xinian scratched his hair, and suddenly screamed: "Then I haven't bathed for more than half a month? My hair is so oily and my body is so dirty, go and boil water for me!"
Yuan Yao stuffed him with a bowl of wild ginseng and chicken soup, and hurried to the kitchen to boil water.Tao Xinian drank the soup and looked at the empty yard, feeling that something was missing.
He put the bowl, got out of bed, and walked to the courtyard.In April, all the flowers in the courtyard were in bloom, red peonies and pink peonies filled his eyes.He seemed as if Abo was bouncing towards him, he shook his head, thinking of the missing little elf, his heart ached.
Under the peonies, in a delicate little flower pot, there is a yellow Selaginella planted.Tao Xinian knelt down and called softly, "Abo."
"Ayao, where is Su Huan?"
Yuan Yao's voice came from the kitchen: "He has returned to Pingcheng."
"Back to Pingcheng?" Tao Xinian was a bit bored.But that's okay, there are only him and A Yao here.
After bathing and changing into clean clothes, Tao Xinian's mood finally improved, and he got a bucket of water with great interest, and began to water the flowers and plants in the yard, of course he did not miss the humble Abo.After watering the flowers and plants, he said, "Ayao, let's go for a walk."
Yuan Yao said, "Okay, but we have to get out over the wall."
"Why?" Tao Xinian was taken aback.
Yuan Yao said without changing his expression: "Prince Jingzhao's mansion has been sealed by the Queen Mother."
"Why did you seal off our house?"
"I offended the Queen Mother. During the confinement period, no one was seen. In a rage, the Queen Mother sealed off King Jingzhao's Mansion."
Tao Xinian turned around inside and out, and said, "No wonder I feel that there are a few things missing in the room!"
He went back to the room again, but luckily his bamboo box was still there, probably because it was too inconspicuous to be taken away.
"Where's the money? Where's your money? Is it low?" Tao Xinian asked anxiously.
Money is very important!Without money, they can only drink the northwest wind.
"I hid the money in a crack in the wall, but they didn't find it. There wasn't much in the house, and it was my former army who confiscated the house. The brothers took a few items symbolically, and left nothing else."
Tao Xinian felt relieved and said, "That's good, we won't stay here anymore, and we'll leave for Nanliang in a few days, go back to my Qinglong Mountain, and bring Abo back."
Tao Xinian was about to turn over the wall, and accidentally fell, Yuan Yao quickly hugged him and said, "Be careful, go up from the other side, I'll take you."
It was only then that Tao Xinian remembered that he had lost all morality.He was a little disappointed, and after several years of practice, he finally managed to show some form, but he lost everything.
Yuan Yao saw through his thoughts and said, "I will be able to practice again soon. We practice the technique of double cultivation, and we will be able to practice it in a short time."
Tiao Xinian's eyes suddenly lit up, he grabbed Yuan Yao's sleeve, and said, "You're right!"
He and Yuan Yao double cultivated, and in just a few months, Yuan Yao obtained [-]% of his mana.According to this speed, he will train his inner alchemy back, just around the corner.He kissed Yuan Yao and smiled happily again.
In June, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.One evening, a carriage slowly drove into Jiankang City.It was a strange carriage, and it went very slowly, for not all horses were hitched to the front of the carriage, but a horse and a donkey.The horse always has to take care of the donkey's speed, so it walks very slowly.
The soldiers guarding the city were very surprised. The horse was obviously a very valuable horse. Logically speaking, the owner of the horse did not lack the money to buy another horse. For some reason, he had to tie a donkey to pull a horse with the horse. a carriage?The minds of rich people are really incomprehensible.
The soldiers checked the customs clearance documents, confirmed that there was no problem, and then let them go.When the carriage entered the city gate, Tao Xinian lifted the curtain, looking at the tall and majestic city gate, every plant and tree in the city, he was filled with emotion.He is finally back!
It took almost half an hour to travel from the northern suburbs to the southern suburbs. Before the market ended, Tao Xinian bought some food and other things at the market, and stuffed them all into the carriage.
As it was getting dark, Ah Xi was about to close all the doors, but saw a handsome man in white walking towards him.He wiped his eyes and said happily, "Tao Langjun! You are back!"
Axi put down the broom in his hand, hurried forward and said, "Tao Langjun, you've been away for too long, Axi, I've been worried for half a year, and you're finally back..."
Tao Xinian thought about it, he left last spring, and he had originally agreed to come back before Chinese New Year, but now it's June.
"Axi, I'm really sorry, it's inconvenient outside, and I didn't send you a letter from home."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, as long as Tao Langjun can come back properly, Axi, I can rest assured."
Yuan Yao also got out of the car, and Ah Xi took a closer look, feeling a little familiar, and said, "This...this gentleman..."
Tao Xinian laughed twice, and said, "Ah Xi, your memory is really good, he is cultivating fate."
"Oh, Master Xiuyuan, have you returned to vulgarity?"
Yuan Yao said solemnly: "Yes, it's not easy to be a monk these days."
Tao Xinian couldn't hold back, he burst out laughing, and patted Yuan Yao on the shoulder.
Axi didn't ask any more questions, arranged carriages and horses for them, and had a home-cooked dinner together.After the meal, Axi took a box full of money and gave it to Tao Xinian. It was the rent money he had received for more than a year.
After handing over the money to Tao Xinian, Ah Xi finally let go of his worries.The rental money for more than one year is a lot of money, and it is always in his hands. It is not reliable, and it is better to hand it over to the owner.
Tao Xinian didn't expect to get a large sum of money as soon as he came back, so he weighed the weight and said, "It's really a lot."
He took three taels of silver from the brocade bag, handed it to Axi, and said, "Axi, this is your salary. You haven't been paid for more than a year. Take it."
Axi quickly waved his hand and said, "The young one has no money, so he will pay a little from the rent. This year's wages have already been taken from it, so we must not ask for Tao Lang's money."
"Axi, take it. I'll be returning to Qinglong Mountain soon. I'm afraid I won't go down the mountain for half a year. You still need to save some money for emergencies. Things in the house are broken and old, so they can be repaired in time." .If the money is not enough, it will be paid from the rent."
Tao Xinian has said so, so Axi can only accept the money and thank you again and again.
That night, Tao Xinian came to his father's bedroom again.Facing the portraits of his parents, he solemnly introduced Yuan Yao to the two elders.
Tao Xinian was very happy, and drank a rare two glasses of wine, and said, "Father, that Taoist priest is right. Going up the mountain to practice Taoism really helped me find the person I was looking for. Don't worry, your son will not die alone, there are already people accompanied."
The next day, Tao Xinian and Yuan Yao went to Yu Yuandao's residence together, they hadn't seen each other for more than a year, so they had to go and sit down.Tao Xinian introduced Yuan Yao to Yu Yuandao, and only said that he came from the north. Like him, he had no father, no mother, and no worries. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he did not say that Yuan Yao's surname was Yuan, but that his surname was Lu, and his name was Xiu Yuan. , Xianbei people.
Yu Yuandao looked Yuan Yao up and down in surprise, patted Tao Xinian on the shoulder, and said, "I haven't seen you for more than a year, and you even brought someone back. Don't say, this serious guy just took you there before me." It's...cough, it's different." He wanted to say that it looked much more reliable than the Mr. Nan Guan who he took him to see before, but when he thought about it, he was standing here and couldn't talk nonsense, so he held back .
Yuan Yao heard what Yu Yuandao was going to say, and glanced at Tao Xinian lightly, Tao Xinian hurriedly said in a low voice: "It's nothing, don't listen to his nonsense."
"Seeing that you are accompanied by someone, your sister-in-law and I are relieved." Yu Yuandao sighed, and then said to Yuan Yao: "Brother Xiuyuan, you followed my brother Tao from the north to Nanliang, thank you for your hard work." From now on, you two get along well, don't make trouble at every turn. If he dares to bully you, I can't spare him. In the same way, if you bully my brother Tao, I will..."
"Hey, it's over! Yuandao, you're chattering like a gossip today. Ayao and I never quarrel." Tao Xinian said proudly.
"I will treat him well." Yuan Yao said sincerely.
Seeing Tao Xinian's smug face, Yu Yuandao didn't bother to say any more, he just said, "Okay, I won't say anymore." He took out a brocade bag from his bosom, filled it with a large ingot of gold, estimated at least ten Two, put two more night pearls and handed them to Tao Xinian, "Here, my gift money is for the two of you, so you can grow old together."
Tao Xinian was not polite to him either, he took the gift money with both hands, and said: "Thank you! Brother Yu is really generous, I am not polite."
After visiting Yu Yuandao, they didn't stay in Jiankang City for a long time. They bought some needed and went back to Qinglong Mountain.There was no way for the carriage to go up the mountain, so they left the cart at the Tao Mansion, and one donkey and one horse rode to Qinglong Mountain.
The roadside is full of unknown small flowers, and a few farmers are working in the fields at the foot of the mountain.Tao Xinian bit a piece of foxtail, talking to Yuan Yao intermittently.
One of the old men recognized him, and asked loudly: "My lord, you...you are the wise man on the mountain... Abandoned wisdom, right? I haven't seen you for a long time." There was a smile on the old man's lips, this time he was very happy Be sure, the Dao name is correct.
Tao Xinian turned his head and replied in a good mood: "Yes, old man, I haven't seen you for more than a year, and your spirit is not bad."
The old man looked at Yuan Yao again and asked, "Is this also a Taoist priest?"
"He, he is my Taoist companion." After Tao Xinian finished speaking, he didn't care about other people's reactions, patted Huahua's butt, and walked away with a smile.
The old man's grandson came over and asked, "Grandpa, what is a Taoist companion?"
The old man was startled for a while, Daoist, is that what he thought?It's no wonder that those who practice Taoism and Buddhism do not have families.
"Children don't need to know that much, they will understand when they grow up." The old man cleared his throat.
"Oh."
After walking for a long time, they finally reached the top of the mountain, and Qinglong Taoist Temple appeared in front of them.Tao Xinian took a deep breath, it was indeed a familiar smell.
The chickens that had been released were flopping about in the haystack, looking like pheasants.Weeds are growing wildly in the vegetable field, but luckily there are still edible vegetables.
Tao Xinian opened the door, and the Yuanshi Palace was covered with spider webs.Choked by the dust, he coughed twice and said, "Looks like it needs to be cleaned up."
Yuan Yao held the small flowerpot containing Abo and placed him in the front yard, where chickens would never be able to peck him.
Tao Xinian leaned down and said to Abo, "Abo, we are going home."
<end of text>
☆, there is nothing wrong in the mountains
Ever since Tao Xinian and Yuan Yao returned to Qinglong Mountain, they have lived a life of not caring about worldly affairs.Fortunately, Yuan Yao is diligent, and Tao Xinian still lives happily without Abo.Of course, he is still a lot harder than before, at least he can help feed chickens, horses, donkeys, and water flowers, so as not to do Yuan Yao a disservice.
As for the matter of dual cultivation, I also practice diligently.Now that he has no magic power, dual cultivation is the fastest way to cultivate the Tao. He is boring on weekdays, except for eating and practicing.However, there was one thing that bothered him.When practicing before, he found that the one below seemed to be able to practice faster, and he always used this as an excuse to suppress Yuan Yao.Now that Yuan Yao's magic power is higher than his, he is almost living a life of being oppressed every day, and he is really lifting a rock to shoot himself in the foot.
Hey, now that things are up, it doesn't matter who goes up and who goes down, cultivation is the most important thing.They are not young, if they practice slowly, they will have wrinkled faces and gray hair when they become immortals, which is meaningless.
Ayu hadn't been to Qinglong Mountain for a long time. He heard that Taoist Priest Tao was back, so he stopped by today for a walk. After sniffing, he didn't smell Abo's little goblin's breath, so he was a little bolder.She is not afraid of Abo, she is afraid of noise.Abo yelled loudly, as if she was a horny wandering fox, but she was not, she was quite reserved.
She hid on a tree and peeped at Tao Xinian secretly. Tao Xinian was watering the flowers in the yard. She hadn't seen him for a year or two, but he was still so handsome.She thought, as long as Tao Xinian was still on the mountain, so lonely alone, sooner or later he would agree to double cultivation with her.She secretly laughed twice, and saw another man come out, naturally took the water bottle from Tao Xinian's hand, and watered the flowers.After pouring the water, he took his shoulders and the two entered the room.
Ayu rubbed his eyes, feeling bad.
She lay on the tiles, listening to the movement carefully, only heard the two of them talking, and after a while, they began to practice that.Ayu gritted her teeth, good Taoist Taoist!No wonder I didn't even look at me for so long, thinking I was some kind of reserved gentleman, but it turned out to be a broken sleeve!It's too... so embarrassing to start practicing during the day!
Ayu gritted her silver teeth, twisted the small handkerchief, resented for a while, and left by herself.
snort!Can't I, Ayu, find someone to practice with me?I won't wait for you.
When Su found Qinglong Mountain, it was in the middle of the afternoon, and he saw a seductive woman in red walking by him, seeming to be very angry.She was a pretty woman, but he knew it was a vixen as soon as he smelled it.It's just that this vixen should be of the more upright kind, not one who likes to suck people's energy.
Su didn't bother to bother about it. When he saw the Taoist temple appearing on Qinglong Mountain, his eyes lit up, and he finally found it!
He went back to Pingcheng and found someone to build a nice house with the money Yuan Yao gave him.But the house couldn't be built well for a year or so, and he was very bored, so he came up with the idea of going to Nanliang for a walk, and he also wanted to go to Penglai.He remembered that Tao Xinian was on Qinglong Mountain, so he asked someone for the location, rode a mahogany sword all the way over, and stopped by to visit Tao Xinian and Yuan Yao.
But in broad daylight, there was no one in the yard, and the room was tightly closed. Could it be that he was not at home?
Su also landed in the yard, and saw the Selaginella under the flowers in the front yard.It was still withered and yellow some time ago, but now a small bud has sprouted, but it may take decades before it becomes mature.
Su also knelt down, poked the withered and yellow part of the selaginella with his fingers, and said, "It's so ugly, even uglier than when it was half human and half demon. Don't be convinced, what I said is the truth."
Su also turned around Tao Xinian's Taoism, his ears moved, and he realized that there were actually people in the house.He walked to a door, put his ear to it, opened his eyes wide in an instant, and shouted, "You two! Why don't you work so hard and practice in broad daylight?"
Tao Xinian heard that it was Su Huan, and shouted: "Su Huan, you don't even say hello when you come. There is no one on this mountain, so we are bored."
Su was still hanging around in the yard, and even went to the backyard to tease the donkey and the horse. After almost half an hour, Tao Xinian and Yuan Yao came out as if nothing had happened, chatting with him.
"Su Huan, it's really rare. You are the first guest after the two of us went up the mountain. Wait, we will cook some delicious food for you."
Su Huan was not polite, and went into Tao Xinian's room and sat down.Tao Xinian's room is a permanent residence, it is big and spacious, well decorated, much more comfortable than Yuanyao's home in Pingcheng.
Yuan Yao got some fruit wine, Su Huan drank it and said, "I'm really happy these days like a fairy. The two of you practice every day, what kind of tricks have you developed?"
"I haven't practiced back to my previous skill yet, but soon, you come to see us in two years, and I can beat you to the ground with one move." Tao Xinian said.
"Don't talk big, I'm going to Penglai to practice, and whoever beats me when I come back may not be sure."
"Oh? Are you going to Penglai?"
While talking, Yuan Yao's dishes were almost ready, and they were served on the table.Su was not polite, just like his own family, eating and drinking.
"That's right, Penglai. I heard that there is a fairy spirit there, which is suitable for cultivation. I will stay there for a year or so. When I go back, my house will be built. You can live in my house when you go to Pingcheng."
"Very good, we are bored living here. The weather has turned cold, and it's not cold enough to frost, so it's suitable to go out. We plan to go to Luofu Mountain in a few days."
After drinking for three rounds, Tao Xinian, who doesn't drink on weekdays, is also a little dizzy. The fruit wine made by Yuan Yao is delicious, sweet, not strong, and not easy to get drunk.But if you drink too much, you will still get drunk.
"Su Huan, do you want to stay for one night before leaving? We will clean up for you."
Su waved his hands and said, "No." After finishing speaking, he got up and went to the courtyard, picked up Abo and ran away.
"Huh?" Tao Xinian chased to the courtyard, looked at Su Huan suspiciously, and asked, "Su Huan, what are you doing?"
Su also pointed to Abo, and said, "Take him to Penglai. The water and soil in Penglai are the best place to raise goblins. I'll take him there to live for a year or so, and then send him back to you. Anyway, you two Go out, he is boring by himself."
Seeing his posture, Tao Xinian knew that he was unwilling to put Abo back, so he simply said: "You must take good care of him, if his leaves wither in the next year, I will blow your dog's head off!"
"Am I such an unreliable person? Don't worry."
Su still stood on the roof and couldn't come down, so there was no discussion about taking Abo away.Tao Xinian didn't bother to fight him either, he thought Su would treat Abo well, but he emphasized again: "Remember to water him!"
"I know, how can I not know this? I'm going!" After saying that, riding the mahogany sword, he disappeared in an instant.
The sky is getting late, and the sky is full of red clouds.Tao Xinian and Yuan Yao stood on the mountain, looking side by side at Jiankang City in the sunlight.The world is far away, and Yuan Yao is close to him, holding his shoulders.
The world is vast, and one confidant is enough.
☆、Twenty years after the episode ([-])
Ten years later, they are neither old nor immortal.With a young face, he can still pretend to be a young man when he goes down the mountain.
Always a young face, it's not a good thing to be noticed, and they rarely go downhill to avoid unnecessary trouble.However, several families at the foot of Qinglong Mountain still noticed that the appearance of these two hadn't changed a bit in the past ten years.
Isn't this a living fairy?
Once it was passed on to ten, ten to a hundred, many people in the city knew about it, and Qinglong Mountain became lively.For those who asked for a lottery and asked about hexagrams, there were several young people who went up the mountain, intending to learn from their masters.
At the beginning, Tao Xinian was very happy, and it was fun to tell fortunes to others.Later, there were more and more people, and the mountain became crowded, and the nearby flowers and plants were trampled flat. Yuan Yao also expressed his displeasure, because there was less time for cultivation.Now that Yao has spoken, can he continue like this?Can't.
Ever since, the two of them made a barrier on Qinglong Mountain, and when they didn't want to see people, they opened the barrier. When people go up the mountain, they can only see an empty Taoist temple, but no people.As the days went by, I think the two of them went out for a wandering, and the number of people going up the mountain gradually decreased.
In mid-March, when peach blossoms are in full bloom, Qinglong Mountain seems to be shrouded in a layer of pale pink smog.Yuan Yao went out and broke a few peach branches, a young man climbed up panting heavily, before he could hide in time, his eyes met in an instant.
The boy was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a very handsome appearance, wearing a light-colored strong suit, two jade pendants around his waist, a small bundle in his right hand, and a sword on his back.
Yuan Yao suddenly felt that this boy looked a little familiar.He didn't need to open his mouth to know that this was a son of a wealthy family, and he probably planned to go to the mountains to learn Taoism, and his luggage was all ready.
"You..." The young man was so tired that he took a few breaths, two blushes appeared on his fair face, "I came to find my Tao Shishu. You...you belong to my Shishu..."
Yu Yuanhong had heard from his father a long time ago that his uncle Tao had a Taoist companion who was also a man, and he did not expect to meet him when he first arrived.
The man in front of him was not at all what he thought.He looked almost as young as Uncle Tao ten years ago, with light brown eyes, and he knew at a glance that he was not a Han, but a Xianbei from the north.However, she is still very good-looking, and she matches Uncle Tao very well.He didn't wear Taoist robes, he was wearing a simple white singlet, he seemed to be a very powerful person, but his eyes were very gentle...
Yuan Yao heard the young man say "Uncle Tao Shi" and finally got some impression. This child looks like Yu Yuandao, and it is likely to be a child of his family.
"You can also call me uncle, come with me."
Yu Yuanhong hurriedly followed behind Yuan Yao, he looked up, the plaque of "Qinglong Taoist Temple" was hanging on the gate of the Taoist temple, it was old, but it was wiped clean.
Tao Xinian moved to a low couch and slept in the yard.Today is a rare sunny day, and the warm sun in spring is the most gratifying, so it is natural to come out to bask in the sun while the sun is shining.As a result, he fell asleep after being exposed to the sun.
Yuan Yao walked to Tao Xinian's side calmly, stretched out a peach branch and poked his nose lightly.Tao Xinian sneezed, opened his eyes and saw a young man, he asked in a daze, "Yuan Dao, why are you younger than me?"
"Uncle Tao, I'm Yuanhong! I haven't seen you for ten years. I didn't expect Uncle Tao to be exactly the same as back then! My father is going to be old." Yu Yuanhong raised his eyebrows excitedly. His father was right, and Uncle Tao really did Great!How can ordinary people remain unchanged for ten years?
"Hong'er, you're so old!" Tao Xinian got up, touched the top of the young man's head, and sighed, "I haven't seen your father for a long time. Did you go up the mountain this time to find me for something?"
"Yes. Uncle Tao, do you remember what you said before? You said, when I grow up, you will come down the mountain to pick me up to play for a while!"
Tao Xinian scratched his head, "There is such a thing." Seeing the baggage in Yu Yuanhong's hand, he said with a smile: "You even brought your luggage, so I can't drive you away. Your father grants you permission." How long do you live here?"
"I want to learn Taoism! But my father said that I can't stay on the mountain all the time, and at most allow me to come and stay here for a few days every once in a while."
"Success, uncle will clean up your room later, so you can stay here with peace of mind."
Yuan Hong was playing with two mules in the backyard. Their parents were Hua Hua and Ben Yue, who were already very old, curled up in the straw pile, and occasionally went out for a walk when they were in good spirits.
Yuan Yao put the freshly folded flower branches into the white porcelain vase, and the faint peach blossom fragrance spread in the room. Tao Xinian played with the flower branches and showed a smile on his face.
After planting the flowers, Yuan Yao cleaned up Hong'er's room, and Tao Xinian followed behind him, helping him by the way.He said with emotion: "It's been ten years in the blink of an eye, and I don't feel it at all."
He dusted off the quilt, and said, "This Su Huan never came back once he went to Penglai. In previous years, he would send us a letter saying that everything is fine with Abo, but this year there is no letter. Damn..."
"Didn't he say that Abo grows very well in Penglai, maybe he will wake up in a few years, he won't lie to us."
"I hope so."
In the spring of a year ago, in Penglai Xianshan, amidst the smog, a clump of grass rustled for a while, and hands and feet like stalks emerged.Su was still lying in the hot spring beside him, when he heard movement, he immediately stood up.
"Yaoshou! There's a naked man here!" The bush stared at Mung Bean's eyes, opened his bloody mouth and yelled.
Su also hurriedly put on his clothes, covered Abo's mouth, and lowered his voice: "Don't bark, it will disturb others."
There are many spirits and monsters on Penglai Fairy Mountain, some are good and some are bad, but most of them are good and pose no threat to them.
"Dirty! Dirty!" Abo cursed intermittently for a while, seeing that the surroundings were quiet except for a living creature in front of him, he asked, "Who are you?"
Su Huan said with a sullen face: "I am the most handsome man in Penglai, your master, Su Huan."
"Bah!" Although Abo has no memories of the past, Su is really not handsome enough in terms of his aesthetics, and he is definitely not someone else's slave.
"Just like you, you don't take a picture of your urine, it's so ugly!"
Su also picked him up, pressed his head to face the spring water, and said, "Take care of yourself first, mung bean eyes and big mouth, half human, half demon, I am obviously much prettier than you."
"Let go!" Ah Bo bit Su back, jumped off the ground, picked up the leaf and ran away.
However, the surrounding area was filled with smoke, and nothing could be seen clearly.A huge flying bird flew past him, and he was so frightened that he lay on the ground, trembling.
Su also picked him up and said, "Why don't you believe it? There are a lot of strange goblins on this island. If you don't follow me, you won't know how you died."
Under Su Huan's coercion and temptation, Abo had no choice but to swallow his anger and practice diligently every day.A year later, Abo turned into a human, and they left Penglai by boat and returned to Wei.
Abo turned into a green-eyed boy with an ordinary appearance, with the same dull face as Su Huan, except for those green eyes, there was nothing good-looking about him.He glared at Su Huan, he had never seen anyone else during the year on the island, and Su Huan was ugly, so he could only look like him, and he also looked dull.
Abe was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.I can only hope that the Taoism will increase greatly in the future, so that I can change my appearance.
He dreams every day, often dreaming of a good-looking man, although he can't see his face clearly, but he is sure that the man must be very handsome.Moreover, he had a familiar feeling, he felt that he knew him a long time ago.
After thinking about it, Abo and Su also talked about it.Su also listened, blinked and said: "Abo, I didn't expect you to dream of me at night, you must like me very much, right?"
"Bah! You don't deserve to appear in my dream!" Abo scolded angrily.
Su Huan put his arms around his chest and pondered for a moment, then said, "I'll take you to meet an old friend."
On this day, Abo and Su went to Qinglong Mountain.The peach blossoms on the mountain were in full bloom, and the path in the peach blossoms looked so familiar, he felt as if he had stayed here for many years.
Yuan Hong rode a mule wandering on the mountain, his two uncles made a bed for him, and gave him a sermon for a while.Now the two of them are busy cooking, let him come out and hang out by himself.He had never ridden a mule before, so he picked one and went out for a walk.
Among the pink flowers, he suddenly met a pair of green eyes.A young man with green eyes, from the Western Regions?Yuan Hong had heard that some barbarians from the west had green eyes.
The young man went up the mountain with an elderly Taoist who looked to be in his thirties. Both of them had dull faces, and they looked a little like each other.
Abo also saw the handsome young man riding a mule among the flowers, and his heart suddenly became turbulent.It's abominable to meet anyone on the road who looks prettier than himself and Su!
He gave Su Huan a hard look, and he still has the face to say that he is the most beautiful man in Penglai. When he just woke up, he was the only man on the island, so of course it's up to him to talk nonsense.If you ask him, he should be called the number one ugly man in Penglai!
Su also knew what Abo was thinking, and said, "Don't be unconvinced, you look uglier than me, why do you dislike me? I'll take you to see beautiful men today, let's go."
Su Huan also saw the young man appearing on the mountain, a bit strange, Tao Xinian and Yuan Yao still accepted apprentices?
"Little brother, may I ask, is Daoist Tao here?" Su Huan asked.
Yu Yuanhong sized up Su Huan and Abo, thinking that they might be Tao Xinian's friends, he hurriedly said, "Here, my uncle is in the kitchen, I'll take you there."
Su also patted the hair on Abo's head, thinking it's really strange, Tao Xinian can also cook?Incredible.
Abo pushed away his hand in disgust, and strode forward.He seems to know all the roads here, especially when he saw the four characters "Qinglong Taoist Temple" on the plaque, he was slightly taken aback.A familiar door, inside... there should be familiar people.
He stepped into the door, and Tao Xinian was sitting in the courtyard among a pile of peach blossoms.He peeled off the peach petals and soaked the petals in salt water.A Yao said that he wanted to make peach blossom wine, and he had to help.
Abo was fascinated at a glance, the beautiful peach eyes, the slightly raised corners of the mouth hooked half of his soul, he stared blankly for a long time, until Yu Yuanhong shouted: "Uncle Tao Shi, there is a visitor! "
☆、Twenty years after the episode ([-])
Tao Xinian raised his head and saw Su Huan and Abo.Su also looks a few years older than before, and Abo is still a teenager, which is a little different from his previous appearance, but he can recognize that he is Abo.
Overjoyed, Tao Xinian stepped out from the flower branch, hugged Abo, and said, "Abo, you are finally back!"
At this moment, Abo seemed to be surrounded by happiness. He was sure that this person was the one who often appeared in his dreams.
After being immersed in joy for a while, he suddenly realized that he had been deceived by Su Huan.
At this time, Yuan Yao came out from the kitchen and served two dishes. Tao Xinian hurriedly let go of Abo, went to help Yuan Yao, and said, "Ayao, Abo and Su are here."
Abo secretly kicked Su Huan vigorously, and asked viciously, "What's going on here?"
Su shrugged and said, "Guess."
Abo gave Su a blank look, didn't bother to talk to him, and followed Tao Xinian.
Tonight's meal was quite substantial.In Qinglong Taoist Temple, five people eat at the same table, which is really rare and lively.Tao Xinian dragged out the large table used for setting up dishes during the Chinese New Year, Yuan Yao went to add two dishes, and everyone at the table ate happily.
"Abo, I didn't expect you to take human form so quickly, it's only been ten years." Tao Xinian said happily.
He talked to himself for a while, seeing Abo's blank face, and Su reminded him, so he knew that the reborn Abo had no previous memories, only vaguely remembered him.
Tao Xinian was a little disappointed. Abo's appearance was indeed a little different from before, but not that big. The only difference was that he looked a bit like Su Huan.He also thought that Abbe had improved a little more than before, so he changed his appearance.
Is the Abo who lost his memory still the same Abo?The more Tao Xinian thought about it, the more hesitant he felt.
Su also seemed to understand Tao Xinian's thoughts a little bit, and said: "He is Abo, his temper is still the same as before, and he still loves beauty."
Abo ignored Su Huan, and talked to Tao Xinian with great interest. From Tao Xinian, he knew what he looked like ten years ago.It turned out that he grew up on Qinglong Mountain, no wonder everything here made him feel familiar.
When it got dark, Su and Abo had to stay. Fortunately, there was still a guest room, but it hadn't been cleaned for a long time, and it had always been used as a place to store sundries, full of unused things.Tao Xinian and Yuan Yao packed up, and Abo was also helping.
He stared at Tao Xinian and Yuan Yao, they seemed to be a Taoist couple, and they were very affectionate.They were together ten years ago, and it's really rare that they haven't had any conflicts for so many years.
Abe was a little envious.In this world, birds of a feather flock together, the good-looking Tao Xinian can be with the good-looking Yuan Yao, but he, who is average-looking, can only be with the ugly Su Huan.snort!So unwilling.
Su Huan and Abo lived on the mountain for three days. Abo made friends with Yu Yuanhong. The two discussed simple Taoism together, played in the peach blossom forest together, and then helped Tao Xinian and Yuan Yao with some housework. The days passed like a dream.
Three days later, Su also packed his luggage and prepared to go down the mountain.A Bo rubbed his eyes in his sleep and asked, "Why are you leaving?"
"This is not my home after all. Pingcheng's home still lacks a few household items. I'll go back and find a craftsman to make them. If you want to find me, go to Pingcheng, the old place."
A Bo got out of bed, Su waved to him and said, "I'm leaving."
Abo was in a daze, and when Su Huan's back disappeared into the peach blossom forest, he suddenly felt abandoned.
Doesn't he hate Su Huan very much?Tao Xinian said that he had been on Qinglong Mountain before.To stay here, he should have wished for it.He was supposed to be here.
Two days later, Yuan Hong also went down the mountain, and he wanted to go back to study.Next month, I will come to the mountain to stay for a few days.He bid farewell to Tao Xinian and Yuan Yao, as well as Abo, and also disappeared into the peach blossom forest.
Abo stood in front of the Taoist temple, looking at the peach forest down the mountain, feeling a little lonely.At this time, the peach blossoms are at their peak and begin to fall.
Tao Xinian approached Abo, patted his head, and said, "Abo, let's go down the mountain to buy something, let's go together, you used to be the most lively."
Abo packed up his things, and the three of them went down the mountain together.Looking at the bustling market, Abo felt a sense of familiarity, and felt a little happier in his heart.Tao Xinian bought him a lot of things,
After the confusion when he first woke up, he found himself in Yuan Yao's room, lying on his bed.The familiar smell reassured him.
The yard was sunny, Yuan Yao came in from the outside, he stared blankly at Tao Xinian, then ran over happily and hugged him up.
"Ayao, what are you doing, let me down."
Yuan Yao leaned on his chest, confirmed that he was really awake, and smiled rarely.
"You finally woke up."
"How long have I slept?"
"More than half a month."
Tao Xinian scratched his hair, and suddenly screamed: "Then I haven't bathed for more than half a month? My hair is so oily and my body is so dirty, go and boil water for me!"
Yuan Yao stuffed him with a bowl of wild ginseng and chicken soup, and hurried to the kitchen to boil water.Tao Xinian drank the soup and looked at the empty yard, feeling that something was missing.
He put the bowl, got out of bed, and walked to the courtyard.In April, all the flowers in the courtyard were in bloom, red peonies and pink peonies filled his eyes.He seemed as if Abo was bouncing towards him, he shook his head, thinking of the missing little elf, his heart ached.
Under the peonies, in a delicate little flower pot, there is a yellow Selaginella planted.Tao Xinian knelt down and called softly, "Abo."
"Ayao, where is Su Huan?"
Yuan Yao's voice came from the kitchen: "He has returned to Pingcheng."
"Back to Pingcheng?" Tao Xinian was a bit bored.But that's okay, there are only him and A Yao here.
After bathing and changing into clean clothes, Tao Xinian's mood finally improved, and he got a bucket of water with great interest, and began to water the flowers and plants in the yard, of course he did not miss the humble Abo.After watering the flowers and plants, he said, "Ayao, let's go for a walk."
Yuan Yao said, "Okay, but we have to get out over the wall."
"Why?" Tao Xinian was taken aback.
Yuan Yao said without changing his expression: "Prince Jingzhao's mansion has been sealed by the Queen Mother."
"Why did you seal off our house?"
"I offended the Queen Mother. During the confinement period, no one was seen. In a rage, the Queen Mother sealed off King Jingzhao's Mansion."
Tao Xinian turned around inside and out, and said, "No wonder I feel that there are a few things missing in the room!"
He went back to the room again, but luckily his bamboo box was still there, probably because it was too inconspicuous to be taken away.
"Where's the money? Where's your money? Is it low?" Tao Xinian asked anxiously.
Money is very important!Without money, they can only drink the northwest wind.
"I hid the money in a crack in the wall, but they didn't find it. There wasn't much in the house, and it was my former army who confiscated the house. The brothers took a few items symbolically, and left nothing else."
Tao Xinian felt relieved and said, "That's good, we won't stay here anymore, and we'll leave for Nanliang in a few days, go back to my Qinglong Mountain, and bring Abo back."
Tao Xinian was about to turn over the wall, and accidentally fell, Yuan Yao quickly hugged him and said, "Be careful, go up from the other side, I'll take you."
It was only then that Tao Xinian remembered that he had lost all morality.He was a little disappointed, and after several years of practice, he finally managed to show some form, but he lost everything.
Yuan Yao saw through his thoughts and said, "I will be able to practice again soon. We practice the technique of double cultivation, and we will be able to practice it in a short time."
Tiao Xinian's eyes suddenly lit up, he grabbed Yuan Yao's sleeve, and said, "You're right!"
He and Yuan Yao double cultivated, and in just a few months, Yuan Yao obtained [-]% of his mana.According to this speed, he will train his inner alchemy back, just around the corner.He kissed Yuan Yao and smiled happily again.
In June, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.One evening, a carriage slowly drove into Jiankang City.It was a strange carriage, and it went very slowly, for not all horses were hitched to the front of the carriage, but a horse and a donkey.The horse always has to take care of the donkey's speed, so it walks very slowly.
The soldiers guarding the city were very surprised. The horse was obviously a very valuable horse. Logically speaking, the owner of the horse did not lack the money to buy another horse. For some reason, he had to tie a donkey to pull a horse with the horse. a carriage?The minds of rich people are really incomprehensible.
The soldiers checked the customs clearance documents, confirmed that there was no problem, and then let them go.When the carriage entered the city gate, Tao Xinian lifted the curtain, looking at the tall and majestic city gate, every plant and tree in the city, he was filled with emotion.He is finally back!
It took almost half an hour to travel from the northern suburbs to the southern suburbs. Before the market ended, Tao Xinian bought some food and other things at the market, and stuffed them all into the carriage.
As it was getting dark, Ah Xi was about to close all the doors, but saw a handsome man in white walking towards him.He wiped his eyes and said happily, "Tao Langjun! You are back!"
Axi put down the broom in his hand, hurried forward and said, "Tao Langjun, you've been away for too long, Axi, I've been worried for half a year, and you're finally back..."
Tao Xinian thought about it, he left last spring, and he had originally agreed to come back before Chinese New Year, but now it's June.
"Axi, I'm really sorry, it's inconvenient outside, and I didn't send you a letter from home."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, as long as Tao Langjun can come back properly, Axi, I can rest assured."
Yuan Yao also got out of the car, and Ah Xi took a closer look, feeling a little familiar, and said, "This...this gentleman..."
Tao Xinian laughed twice, and said, "Ah Xi, your memory is really good, he is cultivating fate."
"Oh, Master Xiuyuan, have you returned to vulgarity?"
Yuan Yao said solemnly: "Yes, it's not easy to be a monk these days."
Tao Xinian couldn't hold back, he burst out laughing, and patted Yuan Yao on the shoulder.
Axi didn't ask any more questions, arranged carriages and horses for them, and had a home-cooked dinner together.After the meal, Axi took a box full of money and gave it to Tao Xinian. It was the rent money he had received for more than a year.
After handing over the money to Tao Xinian, Ah Xi finally let go of his worries.The rental money for more than one year is a lot of money, and it is always in his hands. It is not reliable, and it is better to hand it over to the owner.
Tao Xinian didn't expect to get a large sum of money as soon as he came back, so he weighed the weight and said, "It's really a lot."
He took three taels of silver from the brocade bag, handed it to Axi, and said, "Axi, this is your salary. You haven't been paid for more than a year. Take it."
Axi quickly waved his hand and said, "The young one has no money, so he will pay a little from the rent. This year's wages have already been taken from it, so we must not ask for Tao Lang's money."
"Axi, take it. I'll be returning to Qinglong Mountain soon. I'm afraid I won't go down the mountain for half a year. You still need to save some money for emergencies. Things in the house are broken and old, so they can be repaired in time." .If the money is not enough, it will be paid from the rent."
Tao Xinian has said so, so Axi can only accept the money and thank you again and again.
That night, Tao Xinian came to his father's bedroom again.Facing the portraits of his parents, he solemnly introduced Yuan Yao to the two elders.
Tao Xinian was very happy, and drank a rare two glasses of wine, and said, "Father, that Taoist priest is right. Going up the mountain to practice Taoism really helped me find the person I was looking for. Don't worry, your son will not die alone, there are already people accompanied."
The next day, Tao Xinian and Yuan Yao went to Yu Yuandao's residence together, they hadn't seen each other for more than a year, so they had to go and sit down.Tao Xinian introduced Yuan Yao to Yu Yuandao, and only said that he came from the north. Like him, he had no father, no mother, and no worries. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he did not say that Yuan Yao's surname was Yuan, but that his surname was Lu, and his name was Xiu Yuan. , Xianbei people.
Yu Yuandao looked Yuan Yao up and down in surprise, patted Tao Xinian on the shoulder, and said, "I haven't seen you for more than a year, and you even brought someone back. Don't say, this serious guy just took you there before me." It's...cough, it's different." He wanted to say that it looked much more reliable than the Mr. Nan Guan who he took him to see before, but when he thought about it, he was standing here and couldn't talk nonsense, so he held back .
Yuan Yao heard what Yu Yuandao was going to say, and glanced at Tao Xinian lightly, Tao Xinian hurriedly said in a low voice: "It's nothing, don't listen to his nonsense."
"Seeing that you are accompanied by someone, your sister-in-law and I are relieved." Yu Yuandao sighed, and then said to Yuan Yao: "Brother Xiuyuan, you followed my brother Tao from the north to Nanliang, thank you for your hard work." From now on, you two get along well, don't make trouble at every turn. If he dares to bully you, I can't spare him. In the same way, if you bully my brother Tao, I will..."
"Hey, it's over! Yuandao, you're chattering like a gossip today. Ayao and I never quarrel." Tao Xinian said proudly.
"I will treat him well." Yuan Yao said sincerely.
Seeing Tao Xinian's smug face, Yu Yuandao didn't bother to say any more, he just said, "Okay, I won't say anymore." He took out a brocade bag from his bosom, filled it with a large ingot of gold, estimated at least ten Two, put two more night pearls and handed them to Tao Xinian, "Here, my gift money is for the two of you, so you can grow old together."
Tao Xinian was not polite to him either, he took the gift money with both hands, and said: "Thank you! Brother Yu is really generous, I am not polite."
After visiting Yu Yuandao, they didn't stay in Jiankang City for a long time. They bought some needed and went back to Qinglong Mountain.There was no way for the carriage to go up the mountain, so they left the cart at the Tao Mansion, and one donkey and one horse rode to Qinglong Mountain.
The roadside is full of unknown small flowers, and a few farmers are working in the fields at the foot of the mountain.Tao Xinian bit a piece of foxtail, talking to Yuan Yao intermittently.
One of the old men recognized him, and asked loudly: "My lord, you...you are the wise man on the mountain... Abandoned wisdom, right? I haven't seen you for a long time." There was a smile on the old man's lips, this time he was very happy Be sure, the Dao name is correct.
Tao Xinian turned his head and replied in a good mood: "Yes, old man, I haven't seen you for more than a year, and your spirit is not bad."
The old man looked at Yuan Yao again and asked, "Is this also a Taoist priest?"
"He, he is my Taoist companion." After Tao Xinian finished speaking, he didn't care about other people's reactions, patted Huahua's butt, and walked away with a smile.
The old man's grandson came over and asked, "Grandpa, what is a Taoist companion?"
The old man was startled for a while, Daoist, is that what he thought?It's no wonder that those who practice Taoism and Buddhism do not have families.
"Children don't need to know that much, they will understand when they grow up." The old man cleared his throat.
"Oh."
After walking for a long time, they finally reached the top of the mountain, and Qinglong Taoist Temple appeared in front of them.Tao Xinian took a deep breath, it was indeed a familiar smell.
The chickens that had been released were flopping about in the haystack, looking like pheasants.Weeds are growing wildly in the vegetable field, but luckily there are still edible vegetables.
Tao Xinian opened the door, and the Yuanshi Palace was covered with spider webs.Choked by the dust, he coughed twice and said, "Looks like it needs to be cleaned up."
Yuan Yao held the small flowerpot containing Abo and placed him in the front yard, where chickens would never be able to peck him.
Tao Xinian leaned down and said to Abo, "Abo, we are going home."
<end of text>
☆, there is nothing wrong in the mountains
Ever since Tao Xinian and Yuan Yao returned to Qinglong Mountain, they have lived a life of not caring about worldly affairs.Fortunately, Yuan Yao is diligent, and Tao Xinian still lives happily without Abo.Of course, he is still a lot harder than before, at least he can help feed chickens, horses, donkeys, and water flowers, so as not to do Yuan Yao a disservice.
As for the matter of dual cultivation, I also practice diligently.Now that he has no magic power, dual cultivation is the fastest way to cultivate the Tao. He is boring on weekdays, except for eating and practicing.However, there was one thing that bothered him.When practicing before, he found that the one below seemed to be able to practice faster, and he always used this as an excuse to suppress Yuan Yao.Now that Yuan Yao's magic power is higher than his, he is almost living a life of being oppressed every day, and he is really lifting a rock to shoot himself in the foot.
Hey, now that things are up, it doesn't matter who goes up and who goes down, cultivation is the most important thing.They are not young, if they practice slowly, they will have wrinkled faces and gray hair when they become immortals, which is meaningless.
Ayu hadn't been to Qinglong Mountain for a long time. He heard that Taoist Priest Tao was back, so he stopped by today for a walk. After sniffing, he didn't smell Abo's little goblin's breath, so he was a little bolder.She is not afraid of Abo, she is afraid of noise.Abo yelled loudly, as if she was a horny wandering fox, but she was not, she was quite reserved.
She hid on a tree and peeped at Tao Xinian secretly. Tao Xinian was watering the flowers in the yard. She hadn't seen him for a year or two, but he was still so handsome.She thought, as long as Tao Xinian was still on the mountain, so lonely alone, sooner or later he would agree to double cultivation with her.She secretly laughed twice, and saw another man come out, naturally took the water bottle from Tao Xinian's hand, and watered the flowers.After pouring the water, he took his shoulders and the two entered the room.
Ayu rubbed his eyes, feeling bad.
She lay on the tiles, listening to the movement carefully, only heard the two of them talking, and after a while, they began to practice that.Ayu gritted her teeth, good Taoist Taoist!No wonder I didn't even look at me for so long, thinking I was some kind of reserved gentleman, but it turned out to be a broken sleeve!It's too... so embarrassing to start practicing during the day!
Ayu gritted her silver teeth, twisted the small handkerchief, resented for a while, and left by herself.
snort!Can't I, Ayu, find someone to practice with me?I won't wait for you.
When Su found Qinglong Mountain, it was in the middle of the afternoon, and he saw a seductive woman in red walking by him, seeming to be very angry.She was a pretty woman, but he knew it was a vixen as soon as he smelled it.It's just that this vixen should be of the more upright kind, not one who likes to suck people's energy.
Su didn't bother to bother about it. When he saw the Taoist temple appearing on Qinglong Mountain, his eyes lit up, and he finally found it!
He went back to Pingcheng and found someone to build a nice house with the money Yuan Yao gave him.But the house couldn't be built well for a year or so, and he was very bored, so he came up with the idea of going to Nanliang for a walk, and he also wanted to go to Penglai.He remembered that Tao Xinian was on Qinglong Mountain, so he asked someone for the location, rode a mahogany sword all the way over, and stopped by to visit Tao Xinian and Yuan Yao.
But in broad daylight, there was no one in the yard, and the room was tightly closed. Could it be that he was not at home?
Su also landed in the yard, and saw the Selaginella under the flowers in the front yard.It was still withered and yellow some time ago, but now a small bud has sprouted, but it may take decades before it becomes mature.
Su also knelt down, poked the withered and yellow part of the selaginella with his fingers, and said, "It's so ugly, even uglier than when it was half human and half demon. Don't be convinced, what I said is the truth."
Su also turned around Tao Xinian's Taoism, his ears moved, and he realized that there were actually people in the house.He walked to a door, put his ear to it, opened his eyes wide in an instant, and shouted, "You two! Why don't you work so hard and practice in broad daylight?"
Tao Xinian heard that it was Su Huan, and shouted: "Su Huan, you don't even say hello when you come. There is no one on this mountain, so we are bored."
Su was still hanging around in the yard, and even went to the backyard to tease the donkey and the horse. After almost half an hour, Tao Xinian and Yuan Yao came out as if nothing had happened, chatting with him.
"Su Huan, it's really rare. You are the first guest after the two of us went up the mountain. Wait, we will cook some delicious food for you."
Su Huan was not polite, and went into Tao Xinian's room and sat down.Tao Xinian's room is a permanent residence, it is big and spacious, well decorated, much more comfortable than Yuanyao's home in Pingcheng.
Yuan Yao got some fruit wine, Su Huan drank it and said, "I'm really happy these days like a fairy. The two of you practice every day, what kind of tricks have you developed?"
"I haven't practiced back to my previous skill yet, but soon, you come to see us in two years, and I can beat you to the ground with one move." Tao Xinian said.
"Don't talk big, I'm going to Penglai to practice, and whoever beats me when I come back may not be sure."
"Oh? Are you going to Penglai?"
While talking, Yuan Yao's dishes were almost ready, and they were served on the table.Su was not polite, just like his own family, eating and drinking.
"That's right, Penglai. I heard that there is a fairy spirit there, which is suitable for cultivation. I will stay there for a year or so. When I go back, my house will be built. You can live in my house when you go to Pingcheng."
"Very good, we are bored living here. The weather has turned cold, and it's not cold enough to frost, so it's suitable to go out. We plan to go to Luofu Mountain in a few days."
After drinking for three rounds, Tao Xinian, who doesn't drink on weekdays, is also a little dizzy. The fruit wine made by Yuan Yao is delicious, sweet, not strong, and not easy to get drunk.But if you drink too much, you will still get drunk.
"Su Huan, do you want to stay for one night before leaving? We will clean up for you."
Su waved his hands and said, "No." After finishing speaking, he got up and went to the courtyard, picked up Abo and ran away.
"Huh?" Tao Xinian chased to the courtyard, looked at Su Huan suspiciously, and asked, "Su Huan, what are you doing?"
Su also pointed to Abo, and said, "Take him to Penglai. The water and soil in Penglai are the best place to raise goblins. I'll take him there to live for a year or so, and then send him back to you. Anyway, you two Go out, he is boring by himself."
Seeing his posture, Tao Xinian knew that he was unwilling to put Abo back, so he simply said: "You must take good care of him, if his leaves wither in the next year, I will blow your dog's head off!"
"Am I such an unreliable person? Don't worry."
Su still stood on the roof and couldn't come down, so there was no discussion about taking Abo away.Tao Xinian didn't bother to fight him either, he thought Su would treat Abo well, but he emphasized again: "Remember to water him!"
"I know, how can I not know this? I'm going!" After saying that, riding the mahogany sword, he disappeared in an instant.
The sky is getting late, and the sky is full of red clouds.Tao Xinian and Yuan Yao stood on the mountain, looking side by side at Jiankang City in the sunlight.The world is far away, and Yuan Yao is close to him, holding his shoulders.
The world is vast, and one confidant is enough.
☆、Twenty years after the episode ([-])
Ten years later, they are neither old nor immortal.With a young face, he can still pretend to be a young man when he goes down the mountain.
Always a young face, it's not a good thing to be noticed, and they rarely go downhill to avoid unnecessary trouble.However, several families at the foot of Qinglong Mountain still noticed that the appearance of these two hadn't changed a bit in the past ten years.
Isn't this a living fairy?
Once it was passed on to ten, ten to a hundred, many people in the city knew about it, and Qinglong Mountain became lively.For those who asked for a lottery and asked about hexagrams, there were several young people who went up the mountain, intending to learn from their masters.
At the beginning, Tao Xinian was very happy, and it was fun to tell fortunes to others.Later, there were more and more people, and the mountain became crowded, and the nearby flowers and plants were trampled flat. Yuan Yao also expressed his displeasure, because there was less time for cultivation.Now that Yao has spoken, can he continue like this?Can't.
Ever since, the two of them made a barrier on Qinglong Mountain, and when they didn't want to see people, they opened the barrier. When people go up the mountain, they can only see an empty Taoist temple, but no people.As the days went by, I think the two of them went out for a wandering, and the number of people going up the mountain gradually decreased.
In mid-March, when peach blossoms are in full bloom, Qinglong Mountain seems to be shrouded in a layer of pale pink smog.Yuan Yao went out and broke a few peach branches, a young man climbed up panting heavily, before he could hide in time, his eyes met in an instant.
The boy was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a very handsome appearance, wearing a light-colored strong suit, two jade pendants around his waist, a small bundle in his right hand, and a sword on his back.
Yuan Yao suddenly felt that this boy looked a little familiar.He didn't need to open his mouth to know that this was a son of a wealthy family, and he probably planned to go to the mountains to learn Taoism, and his luggage was all ready.
"You..." The young man was so tired that he took a few breaths, two blushes appeared on his fair face, "I came to find my Tao Shishu. You...you belong to my Shishu..."
Yu Yuanhong had heard from his father a long time ago that his uncle Tao had a Taoist companion who was also a man, and he did not expect to meet him when he first arrived.
The man in front of him was not at all what he thought.He looked almost as young as Uncle Tao ten years ago, with light brown eyes, and he knew at a glance that he was not a Han, but a Xianbei from the north.However, she is still very good-looking, and she matches Uncle Tao very well.He didn't wear Taoist robes, he was wearing a simple white singlet, he seemed to be a very powerful person, but his eyes were very gentle...
Yuan Yao heard the young man say "Uncle Tao Shi" and finally got some impression. This child looks like Yu Yuandao, and it is likely to be a child of his family.
"You can also call me uncle, come with me."
Yu Yuanhong hurriedly followed behind Yuan Yao, he looked up, the plaque of "Qinglong Taoist Temple" was hanging on the gate of the Taoist temple, it was old, but it was wiped clean.
Tao Xinian moved to a low couch and slept in the yard.Today is a rare sunny day, and the warm sun in spring is the most gratifying, so it is natural to come out to bask in the sun while the sun is shining.As a result, he fell asleep after being exposed to the sun.
Yuan Yao walked to Tao Xinian's side calmly, stretched out a peach branch and poked his nose lightly.Tao Xinian sneezed, opened his eyes and saw a young man, he asked in a daze, "Yuan Dao, why are you younger than me?"
"Uncle Tao, I'm Yuanhong! I haven't seen you for ten years. I didn't expect Uncle Tao to be exactly the same as back then! My father is going to be old." Yu Yuanhong raised his eyebrows excitedly. His father was right, and Uncle Tao really did Great!How can ordinary people remain unchanged for ten years?
"Hong'er, you're so old!" Tao Xinian got up, touched the top of the young man's head, and sighed, "I haven't seen your father for a long time. Did you go up the mountain this time to find me for something?"
"Yes. Uncle Tao, do you remember what you said before? You said, when I grow up, you will come down the mountain to pick me up to play for a while!"
Tao Xinian scratched his head, "There is such a thing." Seeing the baggage in Yu Yuanhong's hand, he said with a smile: "You even brought your luggage, so I can't drive you away. Your father grants you permission." How long do you live here?"
"I want to learn Taoism! But my father said that I can't stay on the mountain all the time, and at most allow me to come and stay here for a few days every once in a while."
"Success, uncle will clean up your room later, so you can stay here with peace of mind."
Yuan Hong was playing with two mules in the backyard. Their parents were Hua Hua and Ben Yue, who were already very old, curled up in the straw pile, and occasionally went out for a walk when they were in good spirits.
Yuan Yao put the freshly folded flower branches into the white porcelain vase, and the faint peach blossom fragrance spread in the room. Tao Xinian played with the flower branches and showed a smile on his face.
After planting the flowers, Yuan Yao cleaned up Hong'er's room, and Tao Xinian followed behind him, helping him by the way.He said with emotion: "It's been ten years in the blink of an eye, and I don't feel it at all."
He dusted off the quilt, and said, "This Su Huan never came back once he went to Penglai. In previous years, he would send us a letter saying that everything is fine with Abo, but this year there is no letter. Damn..."
"Didn't he say that Abo grows very well in Penglai, maybe he will wake up in a few years, he won't lie to us."
"I hope so."
In the spring of a year ago, in Penglai Xianshan, amidst the smog, a clump of grass rustled for a while, and hands and feet like stalks emerged.Su was still lying in the hot spring beside him, when he heard movement, he immediately stood up.
"Yaoshou! There's a naked man here!" The bush stared at Mung Bean's eyes, opened his bloody mouth and yelled.
Su also hurriedly put on his clothes, covered Abo's mouth, and lowered his voice: "Don't bark, it will disturb others."
There are many spirits and monsters on Penglai Fairy Mountain, some are good and some are bad, but most of them are good and pose no threat to them.
"Dirty! Dirty!" Abo cursed intermittently for a while, seeing that the surroundings were quiet except for a living creature in front of him, he asked, "Who are you?"
Su Huan said with a sullen face: "I am the most handsome man in Penglai, your master, Su Huan."
"Bah!" Although Abo has no memories of the past, Su is really not handsome enough in terms of his aesthetics, and he is definitely not someone else's slave.
"Just like you, you don't take a picture of your urine, it's so ugly!"
Su also picked him up, pressed his head to face the spring water, and said, "Take care of yourself first, mung bean eyes and big mouth, half human, half demon, I am obviously much prettier than you."
"Let go!" Ah Bo bit Su back, jumped off the ground, picked up the leaf and ran away.
However, the surrounding area was filled with smoke, and nothing could be seen clearly.A huge flying bird flew past him, and he was so frightened that he lay on the ground, trembling.
Su also picked him up and said, "Why don't you believe it? There are a lot of strange goblins on this island. If you don't follow me, you won't know how you died."
Under Su Huan's coercion and temptation, Abo had no choice but to swallow his anger and practice diligently every day.A year later, Abo turned into a human, and they left Penglai by boat and returned to Wei.
Abo turned into a green-eyed boy with an ordinary appearance, with the same dull face as Su Huan, except for those green eyes, there was nothing good-looking about him.He glared at Su Huan, he had never seen anyone else during the year on the island, and Su Huan was ugly, so he could only look like him, and he also looked dull.
Abe was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.I can only hope that the Taoism will increase greatly in the future, so that I can change my appearance.
He dreams every day, often dreaming of a good-looking man, although he can't see his face clearly, but he is sure that the man must be very handsome.Moreover, he had a familiar feeling, he felt that he knew him a long time ago.
After thinking about it, Abo and Su also talked about it.Su also listened, blinked and said: "Abo, I didn't expect you to dream of me at night, you must like me very much, right?"
"Bah! You don't deserve to appear in my dream!" Abo scolded angrily.
Su Huan put his arms around his chest and pondered for a moment, then said, "I'll take you to meet an old friend."
On this day, Abo and Su went to Qinglong Mountain.The peach blossoms on the mountain were in full bloom, and the path in the peach blossoms looked so familiar, he felt as if he had stayed here for many years.
Yuan Hong rode a mule wandering on the mountain, his two uncles made a bed for him, and gave him a sermon for a while.Now the two of them are busy cooking, let him come out and hang out by himself.He had never ridden a mule before, so he picked one and went out for a walk.
Among the pink flowers, he suddenly met a pair of green eyes.A young man with green eyes, from the Western Regions?Yuan Hong had heard that some barbarians from the west had green eyes.
The young man went up the mountain with an elderly Taoist who looked to be in his thirties. Both of them had dull faces, and they looked a little like each other.
Abo also saw the handsome young man riding a mule among the flowers, and his heart suddenly became turbulent.It's abominable to meet anyone on the road who looks prettier than himself and Su!
He gave Su Huan a hard look, and he still has the face to say that he is the most beautiful man in Penglai. When he just woke up, he was the only man on the island, so of course it's up to him to talk nonsense.If you ask him, he should be called the number one ugly man in Penglai!
Su also knew what Abo was thinking, and said, "Don't be unconvinced, you look uglier than me, why do you dislike me? I'll take you to see beautiful men today, let's go."
Su Huan also saw the young man appearing on the mountain, a bit strange, Tao Xinian and Yuan Yao still accepted apprentices?
"Little brother, may I ask, is Daoist Tao here?" Su Huan asked.
Yu Yuanhong sized up Su Huan and Abo, thinking that they might be Tao Xinian's friends, he hurriedly said, "Here, my uncle is in the kitchen, I'll take you there."
Su also patted the hair on Abo's head, thinking it's really strange, Tao Xinian can also cook?Incredible.
Abo pushed away his hand in disgust, and strode forward.He seems to know all the roads here, especially when he saw the four characters "Qinglong Taoist Temple" on the plaque, he was slightly taken aback.A familiar door, inside... there should be familiar people.
He stepped into the door, and Tao Xinian was sitting in the courtyard among a pile of peach blossoms.He peeled off the peach petals and soaked the petals in salt water.A Yao said that he wanted to make peach blossom wine, and he had to help.
Abo was fascinated at a glance, the beautiful peach eyes, the slightly raised corners of the mouth hooked half of his soul, he stared blankly for a long time, until Yu Yuanhong shouted: "Uncle Tao Shi, there is a visitor! "
☆、Twenty years after the episode ([-])
Tao Xinian raised his head and saw Su Huan and Abo.Su also looks a few years older than before, and Abo is still a teenager, which is a little different from his previous appearance, but he can recognize that he is Abo.
Overjoyed, Tao Xinian stepped out from the flower branch, hugged Abo, and said, "Abo, you are finally back!"
At this moment, Abo seemed to be surrounded by happiness. He was sure that this person was the one who often appeared in his dreams.
After being immersed in joy for a while, he suddenly realized that he had been deceived by Su Huan.
At this time, Yuan Yao came out from the kitchen and served two dishes. Tao Xinian hurriedly let go of Abo, went to help Yuan Yao, and said, "Ayao, Abo and Su are here."
Abo secretly kicked Su Huan vigorously, and asked viciously, "What's going on here?"
Su shrugged and said, "Guess."
Abo gave Su a blank look, didn't bother to talk to him, and followed Tao Xinian.
Tonight's meal was quite substantial.In Qinglong Taoist Temple, five people eat at the same table, which is really rare and lively.Tao Xinian dragged out the large table used for setting up dishes during the Chinese New Year, Yuan Yao went to add two dishes, and everyone at the table ate happily.
"Abo, I didn't expect you to take human form so quickly, it's only been ten years." Tao Xinian said happily.
He talked to himself for a while, seeing Abo's blank face, and Su reminded him, so he knew that the reborn Abo had no previous memories, only vaguely remembered him.
Tao Xinian was a little disappointed. Abo's appearance was indeed a little different from before, but not that big. The only difference was that he looked a bit like Su Huan.He also thought that Abbe had improved a little more than before, so he changed his appearance.
Is the Abo who lost his memory still the same Abo?The more Tao Xinian thought about it, the more hesitant he felt.
Su also seemed to understand Tao Xinian's thoughts a little bit, and said: "He is Abo, his temper is still the same as before, and he still loves beauty."
Abo ignored Su Huan, and talked to Tao Xinian with great interest. From Tao Xinian, he knew what he looked like ten years ago.It turned out that he grew up on Qinglong Mountain, no wonder everything here made him feel familiar.
When it got dark, Su and Abo had to stay. Fortunately, there was still a guest room, but it hadn't been cleaned for a long time, and it had always been used as a place to store sundries, full of unused things.Tao Xinian and Yuan Yao packed up, and Abo was also helping.
He stared at Tao Xinian and Yuan Yao, they seemed to be a Taoist couple, and they were very affectionate.They were together ten years ago, and it's really rare that they haven't had any conflicts for so many years.
Abe was a little envious.In this world, birds of a feather flock together, the good-looking Tao Xinian can be with the good-looking Yuan Yao, but he, who is average-looking, can only be with the ugly Su Huan.snort!So unwilling.
Su Huan and Abo lived on the mountain for three days. Abo made friends with Yu Yuanhong. The two discussed simple Taoism together, played in the peach blossom forest together, and then helped Tao Xinian and Yuan Yao with some housework. The days passed like a dream.
Three days later, Su also packed his luggage and prepared to go down the mountain.A Bo rubbed his eyes in his sleep and asked, "Why are you leaving?"
"This is not my home after all. Pingcheng's home still lacks a few household items. I'll go back and find a craftsman to make them. If you want to find me, go to Pingcheng, the old place."
A Bo got out of bed, Su waved to him and said, "I'm leaving."
Abo was in a daze, and when Su Huan's back disappeared into the peach blossom forest, he suddenly felt abandoned.
Doesn't he hate Su Huan very much?Tao Xinian said that he had been on Qinglong Mountain before.To stay here, he should have wished for it.He was supposed to be here.
Two days later, Yuan Hong also went down the mountain, and he wanted to go back to study.Next month, I will come to the mountain to stay for a few days.He bid farewell to Tao Xinian and Yuan Yao, as well as Abo, and also disappeared into the peach blossom forest.
Abo stood in front of the Taoist temple, looking at the peach forest down the mountain, feeling a little lonely.At this time, the peach blossoms are at their peak and begin to fall.
Tao Xinian approached Abo, patted his head, and said, "Abo, let's go down the mountain to buy something, let's go together, you used to be the most lively."
Abo packed up his things, and the three of them went down the mountain together.Looking at the bustling market, Abo felt a sense of familiarity, and felt a little happier in his heart.Tao Xinian bought him a lot of things,
