I'm a thousand years older than you

Wen Zihe held the steering wheel with one hand, tapping his index finger on it one by one. The air conditioner kept sending out cool wind, but it couldn't cover the hot air in the car.

On the co-pilot next to him, Lu Yebai turned his head to face the two people in the back seat. He held three cards in his hand and put them on his lips with a smile: "I seem to be winning this time."

Guan Ning buckled the cards face down with great momentum: "I bet a hundred slaps."

Bi Yao asked calmly, "What kind of bet is that?"

These three people completely regarded Wen Zihe as a full-time driver, and they played a "three-card" poker game together. psychology.

They figured it out for fun and didn't bet anything, but everyone wanted to win.Both Lu Yebai and Guan Ning wanted to use their aura to overwhelm the others and make them choose to fold their cards. Unexpectedly, no one would accept this, and Guan Ning aggressively added a "one hundred slap bet".

"It's just that if I lose, you can slap me a hundred times." Guan Ning was very imposing, and she didn't know if she was really confident in herself, or if she was just relying on her thick skin to take the beating.

"I fold." Bi Yao buckled down the cards.

Lu Yebai showed the three cards, looked at Guan Ning's cards, and smiled: "You should thank Bi Yao for discarding the cards, otherwise you will be beaten."

"Tsk, thank you, Big Brother Bi!" Guan Ning cupped her fists at Bi Yao who was beside her, who seemed to have a toothache for this title.

Lu Yebai smiled, and reached out to touch Bi Yao's card: "Let me see yours..."

Bi Yao may have had too much toothache, so he didn't stop him.

Lu Yebai over there was a little surprised, Bi Yao's three cards were much bigger than his, it can be said that it was the kind of combination that was thrown out to guarantee a win.

The man turned a few corners and immediately understood: "Haha, there is really no hope for this card."

Then he quickly combined Bi Yao's cards with his own.

After sorting out the cards, he waved his hand at Guan Ning who was still wanting to play in the back seat: "Driving, let's sleep for a while, let's not make too much noise and affect the driver's driving."

Immediately, he turned his head in the direction of Wen Zihe and closed his eyes, as if he was really going to sleep.

Monsters also have seven emotions and six desires.He was a little pleased with his discovery.

In fact, they are just playing games, no one will really slap, Bi Yao must know this.But he seemed unable to turn the corner. He heard Guan Ning say that he would be slapped if he lost, so he took the initiative to be the one who lost, and insisted on playing the game infatuatedly.

"It's a pity that he drives and can't play cards." Lu Yebai let his mind run wild, "Otherwise I will let him once, and even stand up and get slapped for him."

The car had been running on the road for a long time, and the three people who had been alive and kicking all fell asleep like corpses, and only Wen Zihe looked ahead with a clear expression.

He originally drove to pick up Lu Yebai, but bringing Guan Ning was purely because of the other party's nonsense, and he didn't want to waste his time.After receiving Lu Yebai, he brought along Bi Yao who had been secretly protecting him.Wen Zihe was too lazy to go home again, so he took the two extra people to the place where Judao Zhenren was practicing.

Another reason was that he was afraid that he and Lu Yebai would be alone, and the atmosphere would inevitably become awkward again.

He listened to Lu Yebai chatting happily with others along the way, thinking, why can't he fart to me?

He tilted his head and glanced at the sleeping person, for a moment he couldn't figure out the way for this person who kept saying that he liked him.

Immortal Juejue lived in a neighboring city, so it wasn't too far to drive, but the traffic was inconvenient.Because that mountain has no myths and legends, and it doesn’t have a shape like a Buddha statue or a dragon. It looks like a mountain from a distance, but it’s still a mountain when you look up close. No one has been willing to spend a lot of money on this kind of uncharacteristic mountain. To develop, naturally no one wants to build a neat road.

The car can't drive one kilometer from the foot of the mountain. The road ahead is too bumpy. Driving is tantamount to suffering. It's better to walk.Wen Zihe parked the car and woke up the scattered people in the car.

"Uh...have you smelled the aura of Daoist Extinction?" Guan Ning covered her heart, "I won't go, young master, if you are able, please do your best to send one to Mr. Lu."

Bi Yao didn't speak, but said on his face, "I don't want to go, if the young master insists on me going, I have no choice but to obey reluctantly."

Wen Zihe didn't say anything, and accepted the arrangement silently.He also intended to talk to Lu Yebai for a while while the two of them were alone.

But the curse of "as long as the two of them are alone, there is nothing to say" unfortunately fell on his head, and the two of them were silent all the way.

Wen Zihe walked silently, feeling a little inexplicable anxiety in his heart.He didn't want Lu Yebai to cling to him too tightly, but he also didn't want Lu Yebai to treat him so politely.

What happened, he looked at Lu Yebai's back not far away and came to his senses, am I the little girl who was eaten to death by him?

He didn't want to be a little girl who was eaten to death, so he also looked at the scenery along the way like a broken pot—it was all weeds and hills, and there was really nothing to see.

"Tell me about this Juejue Daoist." Unexpectedly, Lu Yebai turned around suddenly and waited for him.

He cleared his throat, considered each sentence before saying, "I don't know her very well, but my ancestors have a little friendship with her ancestors. Her name, I remember, is Ruan Hong. I don't remember her Daoist name, so don't imitate her." Guan Ning told her to be extinct. When she was 30 years old, something happened to her family, so she went here to live in seclusion."

"It's rare." Lu Yebai said, "I thought there would be no Taoists in this society for a long time."

"She has a lot of knowledge, since you want to learn, I'll take you to see it, and study hard for a while." Wen Zihe said so, but he still hoped that Lu Yebai would spend the summer here honestly and wait for him to pick him up.

"Did Taoist priests really subdue demons and eliminate demons in ancient times?" Lu Yebai tilted his head, like a child with an extremely strong thirst for knowledge.

"Who knows? You can ask her." Wen Zihe couldn't see any clues on his face, "The safety charms of hers are a little bit effective. Maybe the ancestor really has some kung fu."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Yebai, but he didn't see any emotion.The two had their own thoughts, and through temptation and anti-test, they walked to the door of Jue Zhenren's house.

Miejue Zhenren's home fits Lu Yebai's imagination very well. The flowers and plants in the front yard are neatly manicured, and a cobbled path extends to the front of the house. The black tiles and white walls, and the long cornices are a bit like Hui style architecture.

"Mr. Wen."

Although it has been many years since we saw each other, Wen Zihe inevitably got goosebumps when he heard this familiar voice.

But he couldn't show his secrets in front of Lu Yebai, so he could only gather his mind and reply in the direction where the voice came from: "Ruan Zhenren."

Ruan Zhenren came out of the house.Just looking at her face, you can't tell her age. It is okay to say that she is 30 years old, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is 40 years old. She has a pair of crescent eyebrows, which adds a bit of femininity to her whole body. She is wearing a blue robe, very It is to let the hem drag on the ground informally.

Reverend Ruan looked at Lu Yebai, with a bit of a smirk: "This is that person?"

Wen Zihe was afraid that she would say "I'm not interested in people" in the next sentence, so he pulled Lu Yebai to his side anxiously, and said like a salesman: "This is my friend for many years, and he is very interested in Taoism." , I will trouble you to take care of it these few days."

Regarding Lu Yebai's coming here, he asked Guan Ning to greet Master Ruan in advance, but I don't know if Guan Ning, this unreliable thing, has conveyed his instructions along with it.

Master Ruan lazily said, "Did you know me the first day? Don't you know that I don't practice Taoism?"

Guan Ning's unreliable words really didn't convey properly!

Wen Zihe's heart tightened, he was afraid that Lu Yebai would be suspicious - but if he took a look at Lu Yebai, he didn't have to worry.

At this moment, Lu Yebai's eyes were empty, his thoughts were wandering, and his mind was already wandering - his waist was hugged so suddenly, he almost lost his mind, and he almost couldn't stand still. How could he have the heart to listen to Master Ruan?

It is true that Aunt Ruan does not practice Taoism.

Since ancient times, Taoist priests have loved to subdue demons and slay demons. In order to make a name for themselves in the monastic world, they wish they could use all eighteen martial arts skills to kill the demon clan.

But this Ruan Zhenren's ancestors were different.The Taoist priest of her ancestors was called Jisen. He was originally a Taoist priest of a serious sect, but his interest changed for some reason.Like most Taoist priests, he also takes catching monsters as his own responsibility, but after catching them back, he does not kill or cut them, but chats.

This Taoist priest with a spirit of humanistic exploration just kept catching all the way, chatting with monsters all the way, and really set up a sect called "Yixinmen". Look - it finally developed into a school that specializes in the study of the origin, psychology, cultivation methods, body structure... of monsters.

Later, Jiangshan changed his surname, and the new emperor didn't like to practice Taoism, so he began to order to sweep away such smoky things like golden elixirs and immortal medicines.The big factions of the people naturally bear the brunt and decline one by one.Only this Yixin sect, which looks like a pheasant sect, has survived for thousands of years. Although there are few disciples, at least there are successors.

Probably, this sect that neither cultivates immortality nor alchemy is not regarded as a Taoist sect at all.

When Wen Zihe was a child, by chance, he saved the life of that man named Ji Sen.Therefore, the wonderful friendship between the monster and the Taoist priest continued in this way.He would visit every successor of Yixinmen, and tell them stories about "your master failed the imperial examination and had to come to practice", "your master fell from a tree when he was a child".

When it comes to Ruan Zhenren’s generation, I can’t go on.

Ruan Zhenren is just like her ancestor Master Jisen possessed, full of unprecedented interest in studying monsters.The first time Wen Zihe came to visit, he was arrested and asked questions for three hours, such as "Where are you from", "Did the monsters really fight at war 1000 years ago", "Did monsters eat people"... even The little monsters and monster adventures recorded in the book have to be tested in front of him, which can be described as a nightmare that cannot be recalled.

In addition, the place where Master Ruan lives in seclusion is more or less stained with spells, and he gradually doesn't go there anymore. He expresses his condolences during the New Year and holidays, and travels as far as he can at other times.

After all, monsters often go to Taoist priests. Although it is not as hateful as a weasel giving a chicken a New Year greeting, it seems that it is not the same thing in terms of emotion and reason.

The author has something to say: Wen: Why can't you give half a fart to me?

land:……

Wen: Talk!

Lu (onomatopoeia): Pfft?
