"Are your eyes still hurting today?" Birdsong sounded, the door of the bamboo house was pushed open on time, and the strong fragrance of herbs wafted from far and near.

Since his blindness, Guan Qing's other senses have become very sharp. He Mo propped up the plank bed and groped to sit up, took the medicine bowl with both hands obediently, drank it down, and shook his head slightly in the direction of the person coming.

"Are you still unwilling to speak?" The Taoist sighed softly, with a gentle voice, "Or is your throat hurt too?"

Guan Qing shook his head again, there was nothing wrong with his voice, he just simply didn't want to speak.The sudden blindness in both eyes seems to have taken away the enthusiasm and vitality in his life. He is sleepy all day long, too lazy to speak or move, and his whole person is gloomy and gloomy.

The Taoist has a good temper, even though he saw Guan Qing's awkwardness, he didn't say much, he just said: "If you are in the mood, you can go out for a walk. The chrysanthemums in the mountains are blooming, and the smell is very good. Maybe you will like it. Just don't go If you are far away, you will get lost, and the terrain will not be flat any further.”

The Taoist chattered habitually, obviously he only had one acre and three cents of land, and he seemed to have endless troubles.

It's a pity that Guan Qing was not in the mood at all, and nodded perfunctorily, with his legs hanging by the bed, staring blankly at the ground in a daze.

The orioles outside the window were singing happily. This place and the foot of the mountain are like two worlds. The severe drought that has lasted for several months has not affected this place at all, let alone the ubiquitous death breath.Every night, Guan Qing fell asleep with the fragrance of grass and trees, and woke up the next day to the sound of birds and frogs.

Perhaps because his hearing was too sensitive, the chirping birdsong did not make him feel any joy, only the irritability that had no place to vent.

He vaguely felt that this kind of irritability was inexplicable, but he couldn't control it at all. When he couldn't bear it anymore, he grabbed a sandbag and threw it in the direction of the birds: "It's so noisy!"

"Ouch!"

Guan Qing didn't know if he hit the bird or not, but he knew from this sound that he must have hit someone, or an acquaintance.

The acquaintance sucked in the air-conditioning hissingly, and walked into Guan Qing's small bamboo house rubbing his wrists: "Oh, the little blind man has a big temper. The young master's head was smashed by you, how can you pay for it?"

Guan Qing sneered twice, then lay down with a bang, turned over and ignored him.

The man sat over, pushed his shoulder and wondered, "The last time I came to see you, were you lying down too? Last time, it seemed to be the same. I said you were blind, not paralyzed. What's the matter with the bed being lingering?"

"roll!"

The man was shocked: "You are amazing! There are not many people in the world who dare to let Qiye go." He violently pulled Guan Qing up. Guan Qing struggled desperately, but he couldn't shake his iron pair. He slapped the palm like a pincer, and just as he pulled it, the man was startled again, "Wait, did you talk just now? Did you talk?"

He did his best, almost touching the tip of Guan Qing's nose.

Although Guan Qing couldn't see each other's situation, he could clearly feel the close distance between the two from the hot breath blowing in his face. Without thinking about it, he slapped him and cursed, "Get out!"

Guan Qing was stunned when he raised his slap, no, if it was really Xiao Daqi, why would he slap him?Shouldn't it be tears of joy, and send a few memes? !

"You bullied him as soon as you came."

The young Taoist belatedly noticed the man's arrival, and came to rescue Guan Qing with a sigh: "This kid is in a bad mood, don't tease him all the time."

"It's just because he's in a bad mood that I teased him." The man threw Guan Qing on his shoulder carelessly, "I'll take him out for a drive, if he can get a good mood after being bored in the house all day, he'll be damned."

"You..." The young Taoist hesitated to speak, and waved his hands helplessly, "Forget it, go. Don't run too far. There are tigers in the mountains. It's almost winter and you have to come out to stockpile food."

As if he didn't hear him, the man carried Guan Qing on his back and disappeared without a trace.

The skinny Guan Qing looked like a little chicken on his shoulders. The man led him up the cliff without panting. There was a small waterfall on the edge of the cliff. The waterfall was thirty feet high and mighty.

He put Guan Qing on the ground, and was frightened as soon as he put it on the ground: "Little blind man, don't you, are you crying because of me?"

Guan Qing wiped the tears off his face in embarrassment, and said viciously: "You made me cry!"

The man laughed loudly, and rubbed his neck hard: "Come on, little blind man, tell your brother, why are you unhappy? Your master rescued you from the grave, eat well now Drink well, no one will torture you anymore, this day is so beautiful that many people outside are envious."

Guan Qing wiped his face vigorously, and said sullenly, "Isn't he my master?"

"Hey, hasn't he confiscated you as an apprentice yet?" The man said in surprise, "Didn't he keep talking about taking in an apprentice for retirement?"

Guan Qing paused: "Are you...very familiar?"

"Generally, this Taoist priest was robbed by bandits last time. I happened to pass by and rescued him." He rubbed a handful of tobacco from his waist pouch, kneaded it into thin shreds and chewed it in his mouth. , "Speaking of which, last time you saved me, we two counted as a life for a life, even? When I see you in the future, don't put on a face like you saw a ghost, will it work?"

Guan Qing snorted.

The man pinched his cheek: "Still stubborn?"

After pinching it, he suddenly realized: "Have you gained some weight these two days?"

Guan Qing: "..."

The man saw that the temperature on his face dropped visibly to the naked eye, and couldn't help laughing again: "Why are you so funny? You're a boy, and you're not a girl. You're fat and thin, and you still call yourself beautiful and ugly? Let's talk about it." "The man looked at him carefully, his heartstrings twitched suddenly, and he said after a while, "Grow some flesh, and you are much thinner and handsome than you were before."

Not only is he more handsome, the two previous encounters, this kid was so skinny that his bones were pierced, and he was born short, at first glance he looked like a dirty monkey.

Now she was brought back by a Taoist priest and scrubbed clean from head to toe. She has changed her body and gained some flesh recently. Looking at her from a close distance, her lips are red and her teeth are white, and her complexion is as clear as a jade doll.

The fly in the ointment is a pair of eyes that are wrapped in medicine cloth, although there is no quick gaze, it adds a bit of weak and lonely morbid beauty.

Guan Qing didn't know that the man was looking at him, he was in a state of confusion, and wanted to ask him directly: Is he the Xiao Qi who traveled with him.

But whenever he was impulsive, it seemed as if an invisible force had strangled his throat, and he couldn't utter a word.

The man sat with him by the waterfall not long ago, but every time he came and went in a hurry, as if he was carrying a heavy burden.

Guan Qing was sitting on the stone mill in the yard, listening to him scribbled hello to the Taoist, the footsteps gradually faded away.

The Taoist came over with a dustpan for sifting herbs: "Hey, are you still watching?"

Guan Qing's expression froze.

The Taoist seemed to be unaware of it and said enthusiastically to him: "Do you want me to teach you to sift the medicinal materials, so that you can pick the one after smelling it?"

The bored Guan Qing thought it was quite interesting when he heard it, so he nodded with a stern face.

This made the Taoist very happy, so he patiently and meticulously taught him to sift the medicinal materials all afternoon.

From that day on, the Taoist taught Guan Qing some things from time to time, sometimes it was superficial pharmacology, sometimes it was some mysterious numerology. Guan Qing learned it very quickly, as if these knowledge were innately engraved in his mind. Just take it out and study it again.

A Taoist's temper is always gentle and soft, Guan Qing can't see his appearance, but from his voice, he doesn't look like a Taoist priest, but should be an elegant gentleman teaching in a private school, even sometimes dull and pedantic.Even if Guan Qing lost his temper occasionally, he just smiled helplessly beside him.

Guan Qing has never been willing to speak, to simply "um", "uh" and "ok", and finally one day he helped the Taoist cut the talisman paper and asked suddenly: "Do you want to accept me as an apprentice?"

The Taoist was startled, and a stroke of cinnabar almost flew out of the talisman paper. He stammered, "Yes, I would like to, but if you don't want to..."

"I am willing." Guan Qing nodded lightly, immediately put down the scissors, kowtowed three times to the Taoist on his knees, and called "Master" crisply.

"Hey, okay, okay." The Taoist was so excited that he couldn't finish his words. He straightened up and hurriedly helped Guan Qing up, and said happily, "I will have an apprentice from now on."

The Taoist was very happy, and steamed a basket of yellow noodle steamed buns in one go at night, keeping Guan Qing awake at midnight.

The Taoist accepted him as an apprentice, so he naturally wanted to ask his name, and also told him his Taoist name—Zhichun, which sounded like a girl's name, but his tone was not at all embarrassed.

Guan Qing wondered why he never asked his name before.

The Taoist told him in a serious tone never before: "In my generation, the name and the horoscope are all fate, and you must not tell anyone who is not a close relative or close friend. You are my apprentice now, and from then on you and I will depend on each other. I will do my best to teach you and protect you."

Guan Qing snorted and wanted to tell him his name, but just like before, he couldn't say a word.

The Taoist looked at him, sighed with pity, and said, "Since you have no name, I will give you my life. Your surname is Guan, so why not call me Guan Qing?"

Guan Qing was stunned for a long time, and at this moment, a corner of the foggy karma of the past was revealed to him, which was enough for him to gain insight into some truths that had been covered up by time.There was a sudden burst of sourness in his eyes, and Daoist Chun said in a panic, "If you don't like it, I will choose another one for you, for my teacher. Don't cry."

"No," Guan Qing blinked away the tears from the corners of his eyes, showing his first smile since going up the mountain, "I like it very much."

He looked really good-looking when he smiled, and even his master was taken aback for a while, and after a long time, he sighed softly: "I am an extraordinary disciple, not a thing in the pool."

Guan Qing didn't hear his master's sigh full of deep worry, only thinking that the man hadn't come to the mountain for a long time.

As he thought about it, the man came that night, Guan Qing was too late to be happy, but heard him say: "I came this time to say goodbye to you, little blind man."

He was still chewing tobacco, his speech was slurred, and he looked like a rascal.

The talisman paper in Guan Qing's palm was crumpled into a crumpled ball, he smiled coldly: "Let's just leave, and you came here to let me know?"

"Oh, don't be so heartless?" The man lay on the opposite side of him, smiling at him with his head resting on his arms, "We had a fateful friendship anyway, so you should pretend you don't want me."

Guan Qing said in her heart, I can't bear you, very, very reluctant...

"Hey, you blind little bastard." The man patted his forehead, feeling uncomfortable, so he touched the back of his neck and rubbed it familiarly.

The child's back neck has grown tender meat, which is delicate and smooth when kneaded, and feels good to the touch.

After rubbing it twice, a beam of cold sharp rays pierced his face, he let out an exclamation, bowed his waist and looked up!

Get out of the way.

"Next time you mess around, I'll chop off your paw."

Guan Qing's voice was not indifferent enough, but it was [-]% angry out of embarrassment.

The man watched with interest the faint blush floating on his jade-skinned cheeks, and his heartstrings were suddenly hooked again, which caught him off guard.

He froze for a moment, didn't say anything, but silently accompanied Guan Qing to cut the talisman paper all night.

When Guan Qing woke up, there was only a faint smell of tobacco in the air.

Taoist Zhichun was squatting in the yard watering the flowers. When he looked up, he saw his little apprentice holding on to the door frame, staring blankly at the direction of the gate. He was stunned and said nonsense: "He's gone."

"I know." Guan Qing said lightly.

Taoist Zhichun shook his head, and continued to pour out his words: "In troubled times, human life is worthless."

Yes, in troubled times, Guan Qing looked up at the dark sky, when will he escape from this ridiculous fate.

Since then, Guan Qing has never seen that man again.

When he was a little successful in Taoism, he started fortune-telling when he had nothing to do. This mountain was shrouded in an invisible barrier, and there were no ghosts and ghosts.He can't see ghosts, and what he does most is fortune-telling.

He made a lot of calculations, and the man's rough fate fluctuated thrillingly at his fingertips.

He joined the army, became a soldier, narrowly escaped death and won battles, made meritorious service and was promoted to a military rank, hit a hit... and got married.

When counting his marriage, Guan Qing's heart skipped a beat, like a bowl of cold water pouring over his heart.Although it is impossible to figure out who his marriage is, Guan Qing knows that with the man's current wealth, there is no shortage of good spouses.

That night, Guan Qing smashed all the things in his house. After smashing, there was no place to sleep. He sat on the threshold for half the night. He was so sleepy that he had to turn around and start tidying up the house slowly. It was confiscated at dawn.

His master saw his messy room early in the morning, and yelled for a long time, but he didn't help him.

From then on, Guan Qing lost his temper and only tore up paper, not smashing things.

The sun and the moon passed by in silence in the mountains, Guan Qing felt as if he had ascended to the Tao, he was not in the human world, and the hustle and bustle of the world was so far away from him that it seemed like a world away.

Until one day, he calculated a death kalpa.

It's not him, it's Qiye's.

When he did the calculation, Guan Qing knew it was too late.

This time, he didn't lose his temper or smash anything, but sat in the yard for a long time, until Taoist Zhichun noticed his strangeness and came to him.

Taoist Zhichun looked at his apprentice and heaved a long sigh.

Guan Qing said slowly: "He is dead."

Taoist Zhichun sat down beside him, "Everyone is mortal."

Guan Qing snorted and didn't speak again.

Taoist Zhichun sat with his little apprentice all night.

After one night, Guan Qing said: "Master, I want to go down the mountain."

Taoist Zhichun seemed to have expected him to say this a long time ago, so he didn't stop him, he just asked, "What are you doing down the mountain?"

Guan Qing thought for a while: "Make some money, build a Taoist temple, make some more money, and go around."

Taoist Zhichun choked on his straightforward and simple ideals, and heard Guan Qing ask: "Master, it's been so long, and you haven't told me the name of our sect."

Taoist Zhichun asked in a daze, "Huh?"

He really hadn't thought about the name of the sect...

Guan Qing smiled: "Let's call it Dingkun."

Taoist Zhichun is a soft-tempered person who goes with the flow: "Okay, okay, let's call it Dingkunguan."

So the master and apprentice decided on the name of their school in a few words.

Guan Qing hadn't communicated with the outside world for a long time, Taoist Zhichun worriedly prepared three packages for him to salute.After touching each of them, Guan Qing said helplessly, "Master, I can't carry so many salutes."

Taoist Zhichun waved his hand grandly: "You take Xiaoshan with you and let him salute you!"

Xiaoshan is their only domestic animal, a one and a half year old donkey.

Guan Qing was at a loss: "Xiao Shan has to grind soybean milk for Master every day."

Taoist Zhichun was a little embarrassed, but still said boldly: "From tomorrow on, master will drink porridge instead."

"Okay..." The master's kindness could not be denied, so Guan Qing reluctantly put the salute on the little donkey.

Taoist Zhichun sent him to the mountain gate with red eyes, he looked at his talented little apprentice, hesitant to speak.

It was Guan Qing who noticed it keenly: "Master, do you want to say something to me?"

Taoist Zhichun choked out a sob: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo L L L L L L L L , you look so good-looking."

"..." Guan Qing said with black lines on his hair, "Master, what you should worry about is the bad guys who dare to lie to me."

Taoist Zhichun was silent, and raised his hand to touch the head of his apprentice who was shoulder to shoulder with him: "Disciple, you have to remember what Master said, there is a way of reincarnation in heaven and earth, don't force it."

At that moment, Guan Qing felt that his master had seen through all the thoughts in his heart: "Master..."

However, Taoist Zhichun didn't answer his words: "Xiaoqing, your eyes..."

Guan Qing touched his eyes and showed a faint smile: "It's okay, Master, I'm used to it. Whether I can see it or not, it doesn't make any difference to me."

Taoist Zhichun sighed for a long time, and said something inexplicable: "You will always see when you should see."
