Daoist Abandoned Wisdom

Everything you need to play with is stuffed into the small bamboo box that can hold everything.The two of them are not short of money, not to mention these little things don't cost much.

Suddenly, Abo saw a man dressed like Su Huan, walking towards the city gate with a sword on his back.He ran forward, and the ordinary-looking man looked back at him curiously. He quickly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I admitted the wrong person."

Tao Xinian followed, "Abo, what's wrong?"

Abo shook his head, followed behind Tao Xinian, and said, "I thought that person was Su Huan, but I was wrong. Daoist, don't buy me so many things, I can't fit them all."

"This box fits well. We seldom go down the mountain, so we buy more at a time." After speaking, he went to buy several volumes of books and several beautiful bottles and jars.

Abo walked among the crowd and looked towards the north gate, suddenly feeling a little lonely.

Three days later, Tao Xinian saw that Abo was still awake at noon, so he went to his room to call for someone, only to see the note he left:

Daoist, I will go to Pingcheng and come back to see you in a while.

"What's wrong?" Yuan Yao walked over and saw Tao Xinian was reading the note all the time.

"Abo went to ask Su to return it. It's really rare that Su taught him how to write. Although the writing is not very good-looking, it still looks like that."

"It's not that I won't come anymore, I can see you as soon as you want." Yuan Yao comforted.

Tao Xinian nodded: "Yes, he woke up and came back to life, which is better than anything else. From now on...you can see him whenever you want."

Yuan Yao hugged Tao Xinian lightly, and whispered in his ear: "These days, the mountain is so lively, we haven't practiced for a long time."

Tao Xinian laughed and said, "You're quite impatient."

"We have been practicing for ten years now, and we don't know when we will be able to become immortals as you said."

Tao Xinian pinched his fingers and calculated, "The two of us have almost done good deeds, and this double cultivation has not stopped much, I guess we owe a chance."

Yuan Yao was also content, he said: "As long as I can be with you, it doesn't matter if it's successful or not."

"It can be done, it can be done! Let's go to the north again, do good deeds along the way, and go to Luoyang on the way to pay homage to your parents. If you don't have fun, go north again, go to Pingcheng, and visit Abo and Su Huan."

In this way, he had nothing to do, picked new peach branches to replace the old flower branches in the white porcelain vase, and started talking again.

☆、Fanwai Sanyuxian

Xu Tai is the manager of the Tao Mansion. He doesn't have much to do on weekdays. He is only responsible for rent collection and accounting, and also solves the minor problems of the tenants.

Xu Tai came to the Tao Mansion three years ago. The previous steward passed away. The owner of the Tao Mansion wanted to find a new steward, so he put up a recruitment notice.Xu Tai wrote well and could settle accounts, so he was favored and stayed.

The owners of the Tao House are two young men, one with the surname of Tao and the other with a non-Tao surname, both of whom are very handsome.They come to the mansion once every six months, and occasionally stay for a short stay, but they often go out, saying that they are wandering.

After three years like this, no matter how stupid Xu Tai is, he still feels it.These two are not married, they are together all day long, what is it if they are not a couple?

Xu Tai was very curious about the master of the Tao Mansion, such a handsome gentleman, why didn't he get married?Does the family not care?

However, this Mr. Tao Lang seems to have no relatives, and he has never seen any relatives of the Tao family come to visit.

Today, Tao Langjun brought his friend back to the mansion again, saying that he would stay for a few days, look at the account books, wander around the city, and find craftsmen to repair the broken cabinets in Tao's mansion.That night, Xu Tai cleaned up their room and retreated out.

In the middle of the moon, a tenant stopped him and asked in a low voice, "Guard Xu, Mr. Tao Lang is back?"

"Old Bai, you haven't slept yet."

This old Bai was over forty years old and was the longest-lived tenant in Tao Mansion. It is said that he had lived there for twenty years.

The old Baishen asked mysteriously, "Tao Langjun, are you still young?"

Xu Tai thought Lao Bai's question was very interesting, he said: "Tao Langjun is a young man, why do you ask Lao Bai?"

"Guan Xu, let me tell you the truth. When I first came to live in Tao Mansion 20 years ago, Tao Langjun looked like this now."

Xu Tai was startled and said, "Impossible?"

"Tao Langjun is also a person who is over forty, and I am of the same generation. Look, my temples are starting to turn white." Lao Bai pointed to his graying temples.

Xu Tai asked: "Old Bai, are you sure you didn't miss the mark? It's been 20 years. Could this be the son of that Tao Langjun back then? Tao Langjun only looks in his early twenties anyway."

"You don't know that, Tao Langjun is a Taoist..."

In the room, a lamp is like a bean.Tao Xinian counted the money in the box with the help of a dim oil lamp, while Yuan Yao sat opposite him to check the accounts.Tao Xinian's ears have become more and more sensitive in recent years, and the words of Xu Tai and Lao Bai not far away can be heard in his ears.He stopped, Yuan Yao asked: "What?"

"No. I think, when the two of us come here in the future, don't be underestimated if we don't show up."

Only after he heard this did he realize that Lao Bai had lived in his house for over twenty years, just to wait for him to come back and learn from him. Today he wanted to ask Xu Tai about the two of them, but Xu Tai didn't know anything.

Nine years ago in the winter, Tao Xinian and Yuan Yao had a chance, and since then they have been enshrined in the ranks of Earth Immortals, immortal, free and easy.Most of them travel abroad every year, and come back once every six months to settle the accounts of the tenants and take some money for travel expenses.

In a foreign country, they are just wandering travelers, and no one will pay attention to them.But in Jiankang, as long as they show up, there will always be one or two people who remember them, such as Lao Bai, such as the farmers at the foot of Qinglong Mountain.

Tao Xinian told Yuan Yao what he heard.Yuan Yao thought for a moment, and said: "Xu Tai is honest, we will only come to see him from now on, and let him not tell others that we are back. Let him handle all the small matters in the Tao Mansion to avoid trouble."

Tao Xinian thought about Xu Tai's daily performance, and said: "It's okay, I'll talk to him tomorrow, if he has no other ideas, he will do it this way from now on."

Yuan Yao finished reconciling the accounts and said: "The accounts are all correct, Xu Tai's accounts are done well, and the entries are clear."

After counting the money, Tao Xinian said, "The money is right. With this money, we can go south again."

"This time, don't forget to throw money in the casino. You know someone is cheating, and you still throw money in it."

Tao Xinian smiled and said: "No, last time I just suddenly remembered the absurd things when I was young, so I made two bets on the spur of the moment, and I won't do it again. Next time I want to bet, I have to win no matter what, so that the other party will be happy." Lose."

"Is there anything ridiculous you haven't done before?"

Tao Xinian knew that Yuan Yao was still thinking about his visit to the South Pavilion decades ago, and said, "Hey, I told you clearly that it was Yu Yuandao who dragged me there, and he was also kind enough to give me a gift. Find a partner. When I saw that little boy full of makeup, I immediately came out! I didn't do anything..."

Hearing movement outside the door, Tao Xinian blew out the lights, and entered the barrier with Yuan Yao, outsiders could not see them.

It turned out that Lao Bai took advantage of Xu Tai's unpreparedness and sneaked over, wanting to be his teacher as an apprentice.As a result, as soon as he arrived at the door, he was about to knock on the door, but the lights in the room were turned off.

He thought for a moment, then pushed open the door and entered, shouting: "Tao Daxian, disciple Bai Laosan knocked on Tao Daxian!"

However, the room was empty, there was no one, and no one answered him.

Xu Tai heard the movement, rushed over, saw Lao Bai in Tao Xinian's room, was startled, fearing that Lao Bai would disturb the master, he quickly pulled him out, but was surprised to find that Tao Xinian and his relative Well gone!

Xu Tai was still in a trance, but Lao Bai's eyes were wet, and he sighed: "Gone again, gone again... I finally waited until this time, and left again..."

"Old Bai, you'd better go back to sleep, it's getting late."

After Xu Tai persuaded him for a long time, Lao Bai left in a daze.Xu Tai fetched a bucket of water by the well, bowed his body, and washed his face.

Under the moonlight, a pair of spotless white boots appeared in front of his eyes. When he looked up, he met Tao Xinian's bright peach eyes.Startled, he took two steps back and nearly fell.

"Tao...Tao Langjun?"

Tao Xinian smiled and said, "Xu Tai, don't be so afraid, I'm not a monster."

Xu Tai settled down, only to see Tao Langjun's family friend also standing aside.Because he was wearing black clothes and his eyes were on Tao Langjun, he didn't notice that he was there.

Yuan Yao said: "Xu Tai, from now on, when we come here, we must not tell others. We like to be quiet, and besides, we cannot force it because of fate. If Lao Bai asks you in the future if we come back, You just say you don’t know.”

Xu Tai quickly nodded in agreement, and said, "I understand, what do the two masters have to say?"

"The two of us will go out for a walk tomorrow. You can find a craftsman to repair the dilapidated parts of the Tao Mansion, and the wages will be paid from the rent. From now on, just do your job well, and the money will not be short of you." Tao Xinian continued. .

Xu Taicheng replied fearfully: "My little one, thank you two masters."

When Xu Tai raised his head again, there was only an empty courtyard in front of him, and under the bright moonlight, there was no one except himself.It turned out that his master was an immortal, and since the two of them didn't like being disturbed by others, he kept it a secret.He knelt down, bowed to the place where the two of them had just stood, washed his face, and went back to sleep.

In the bright sunshine, the carriage was driving slowly on the country road, no one was driving the carriage, and the horses were allowed to run wild.Tao Xinian leaned next to Yuan Yao, rubbing his face affectionately.

I'm going out again to play, where should I go this time?

The author has something to say: All extra episodes are submitted, and this article is officially over!Thank you to the little angels who accompanied someone all the way, I love you, huh~

Someone opened a pre-acquisition of new articles, if the little angels are interested, you can collect them first.

Somerset Maugham said in "The Moon and Sixpence" that a book struggles out of the vast sea of ​​books, and the hope is very slim. The author has put in a lot of effort just to give a few hours of rest to those who accidentally read this book , to help him get rid of the fatigue during the journey.

I was very touched when I read this passage. I hope that after many years, this novel can still bring spiritual joy to those who read it by chance.I wish you all a happy reading~
