After the genius was abolished, he became my Taoist companion

Ye Huangui bought white-cut chicken and braised beef tonight, and the vegetable dish was cold fern.The three dishes were neatly packed in oiled paper bags, and Ye Huan returned them to the tavern to pack them—a big bag of rice.

He served Tan Duzhi a bowl of rice: "Eat quickly! You're starving!"

Tan Duzhi quietly waited for Ye Huangui to finish the meal and sit down before picking up the chopsticks, and the two picked up a piece of stewed beef at the same time.

Ye Huangui: "I'm eating!"

The next moment, he and Tan Duzhi both changed their faces: "Okay... salty..."

The two took several mouthfuls of rice before swallowing the stewed beef. Ye Huangui looked at the stewed beef with lingering fear: "Don't you pay for the salt in this store? How can it be so salty?!"

Tan Duzhi said: "Yes."

Ye Huangui put away the lotus leaf bag of stewed beef: "I won't eat it today, I will process it and eat it tomorrow." If they eat it according to this taste, they won't be able to sleep tonight, they will just think about it all night drink water.

Fortunately, the boiled chicken and the cold fern are still edible. Although the chicken is a bit old and the bracken is slightly salty, the meal can be dealt with anyway.

Ye Huangui felt a little sorry for Tan Duzhi: "I also said to treat you to a big meal, but I didn't expect...it's not so delicious."

Tan Duzhi was very calm: "It's okay, you don't know about it. And you can buy me something to eat, I should be grateful."

Ye Huangui smiled and scratched his head: "Then... let's pack up and get ready to play, shall we? Ah, by the way, wait for me, I'll cook a pot of tea eggs."

Tan Duzhi didn't eat as much as usual tonight, so he probably didn't eat enough.Ye Huangui thought that he bought a lot of eggs today, and he could cook some tea eggs to soak, and when they came back from their stroll, they could eat a few to fill their stomachs.

Tan Duzhi was very patient: "Don't worry."

Most of the eggs Ye Huangui bought were clean, only a small part was stained.He picked out these dirty eggs and put them in a wooden basin and filled them with clean water.After soaking for a while, he took out the loofah for cleaning the pan and washed the eggshells again.

The washed eggs are different in color, they are lying wet in the Shau Kei, waiting for Ye Huangui to pick them up and cook them in the pot.

Ye Huangui took the small stove out of the storage bag, and he moved the tables and chairs in the guest room to make room for the stove - a safe area.This is in the guest room, if it is not handled well and it catches fire, it will be troublesome.

After setting up the stove, Ye Huangui put the eggs in the iron pot and started to boil them.Tan Duzhi thought that Ye Huangui would have to cook for a long time, but he didn't expect Ye Huangui to take the pot out of the fire after cooking for less than two sticks of incense.Then he soaked the eggs in cold water.

He took out the beautiful casserole, and filled the casserole with a small pot of water.

Tan Duzhi asked puzzledly: "Didn't you mean boil tea eggs?" Why are you tossing the pot instead of leaving the eggs?

Ye Huangui explained: "Oh, the eggs will be very tender after being boiled for 8 minutes and put in cold water, and the shells will be easy to peel. I will first adjust the seasoning of the tea eggs, and then break the shells of the eggs Soak it in a pot and cook for 10 minutes, then soak it overnight, the tea eggs will be delicious!"

—Whilst speaking, he— poured soy sauce and rock sugar into the pot: "Soy sauce increases the saltiness, and rock sugar adjusts the umami taste. Add... bay leaves, star anise, cinnamon... cumin... ah , the cumin and cloves are gone...forget it, put what you have.”

Tan Duzhi saw Ye Huangui—muttering—turning through the storage bag, and as he threw more and more spices into the pot, the clear water in the pot turned into black sauce.

Ye Huangui turned around and found that not only did he not have cumin and cloves, he also had no tea leaves!Is this worth it? !The promised boiled tea eggs, the tea leaves are gone!

This can't trouble him, I saw him go out for a while, and when he came back, he had a small handful of maroon tea leaves in his hand: "Hey, I asked the boss for a handful of tea leaves. Fortunately, there is black tea in the store, buddy It is said that all the customers in the store prepare green tea, but this black tea is given by the boss!"

As he spoke, he threw the tea leaves into the pot, and as the fire in the pot slowly boiled, a scent of spices mixed with the tea leaves permeated the air.Ye Huangui sat next to the table and quickly scooped up the eggs in the cold water. He knocked the eggs on the table and then rolled them. Cracks like spider webs appeared on the shells of the eggs.

After a while, he broke the shells of the eggs.At this time, the water in the casserole on the stove had boiled, and he lowered the eggs into the pot along the side of the pot.

This time he boiled 25 eggs, and even the eggs and water filled most of the casserole.

Ye Huangui clapped his hands: "We can turn off the fire and go out after cooking two more sticks of incense!"

Tan Duzhi had seen tea eggs before, but the tea eggs he ate needed to be stewed for a long time: "Doesn't it need to be stewed for a long time?"

Ye Huangui smiled and said, "That's okay too, but the eggs I make this way will be more tender-a little bit, and the yolk won't choke. It just needs time to soak, cook it tonight, and when we come back, the eggs will be tender." It’s similar to white water eggs, but by tomorrow morning, the flavor of the sauce will soak in!”

Tan Duzhi nodded: "I see."

It really is interlaced like a mountain.

After the water in the pot boiled, Ye Huangui reduced the fire in the stove to the minimum, and then closed the lid.After simmering for two sticks of incense, he turned off the fire completely: "Okay~ let's go!"

Tan Duzhi put on the cloak again, and was pushed out the door by Ye Huangui.When I left the inn, the shop owner was sitting behind the counter and said with a smile, "The guest is cooking tea eggs?"

Ye Huangui smiled and said, "Yes! But don't worry, there is no open fire in the room now."

The boss waved his hand: "I'm not talking about that, the formation in my inn is okay. I mean...it's so fragrant! It smells like the tea eggs cooked by my grandma!"

Ye Huangui—he was delighted to hear it: "Eggs are not cooked yet, they need to be soaked—late enough to taste! I'll give you a few to taste after they're cooked!"

The boss was even happier: "Okay~ By the way, are you going to Linglong Tower?"

Ye Huangui nodded: "Yes, it's rare to come to Qingyang Town, so I just walked around."

The boss nodded: "Linglong Tower is good, the scenery on the tower is very beautiful. Here is the map for you to take a look."

Ye Huangui smiled and said - thank you, I didn't expect the store to give him a map, it was an unexpected harvest.After chatting with the store owner for a few more words, he pushed Tan Duzhi out the door.

Tan Duzhi said slowly: "I found that you can get along with many people."

Ye Huangui laughed haha: "It's not that I can talk to many people, I can only talk to those who seem to be easy to talk to. Some people are fierce, and I feel scared when I see them, let alone talk to people. He chatted. There are too many people, I can’t do it.”

Tan Duzhi said in a deep voice, "Very good."

The wheelchair made a slight sound as it rolled over the solid ground. There were not many people on the long street, and Ye Huangui walked towards the Linglong Tower.The Linglong Pagoda is really miraculous. Sometimes it looks like it is in front of you, but you can't see it when you turn a corner.Walk a few more steps and it reappears.

Thanks to the notice board on the street and Lao Tan Lu's command, Ye Huangui walked to the Linglong Tower smoothly.

The Linglong Pagoda looks gorgeous from a distance, and even more spectacular when viewed up close.The entire tower has nine floors, and gorgeous night pearls are hung on each floor, shining magnificently.The spiritual light was reflected in Ye Huangui's eyes, and the light in his eyes became even brighter.

The people who came to climb the tower were not only Ye Huangui and the two, but also some young people who came in pairs.Ye Huangui observed—for a while, he said with emotion: "It's nice to be young."

The young people who came were all holding hands—sweet faces—looking like young couples in love.But he was different, he came to see the scenery with Lao Tan!

Fortunately, Lao Tan was there, if he came here by himself, seeing this scene, he would turn back depressed. - I am already very lonely, and there are so many people in love watching his loneliness, I feel so sad when I think about it.

Ye Huangui was in a great mood: "I haven't been to a tourist attraction other than Jiuxiaoxianmen! This is the second attraction I went to in the world of comprehension!"

There was a smile in Tan Duzhi's voice: "Just be happy."

Now the problem is, when he went out, he was pushing the wheelchair, and now he was going to carry Lao Tan into the building, what to do with Lao Tan's wheelchair?

Ye Huangui looked around and said, "Are there no guards in Linglong Tower?" It would be great if there were guards, and the guards can help to get out of the wheelchair.

Tan Duzhi said in a deep voice, "No need. The wheelchair can be put away."

Ye Huangui:? ? ?

He supported Tan Duzhi to stand up, and Tan Duzhi stretched out his hand and tapped on the back of the chair.Just listening to the sound of "shoo", the large wheelchair instantly shrank to the size of a palm!

Ye Huangui was stunned: "How can it be like this?! Lao Tan, why didn't you say it before?!"

There was a slight smile in Tan Duzhi's voice: "You didn't ask."

Ye Huugui picked up the shrunken wheelchair with a smile, and carefully put the wheelchair into the storage bag: "I'll store it for you first."

As he spoke, he carried Tan Duzhi on his back carefully: "Let's go, let's see the scenery."

Tan Duzhi lay firmly on Ye Huangui's back, he could hear Ye Huangui's breathing and heartbeat, and feel the movement of every muscle in Ye Huangui's body.This feeling is very strange, obviously not long ago, he had always been wary of Ye Huangui, but now, he felt that it was not bad.

Ye Huangui carried Tan Duzhi on his back into the pagoda, and when he raised his head, he was stunned: "Wow——"

This is a resplendent and resplendent pagoda. The body of the pagoda is made of unknown material, but it looks golden and has a slight sense of transparency.On the wall of the tower, there are some dense golden characters, which, if you look closely, seem to be the names of people.

Just when Ye Huangui wanted to see more clearly, he heard a voice from the side: "Do you want a finishing touch?"

Ye Huangui turned his head suspiciously, only to see a monk standing beside him with a smile on his face: "Two fellow Taoists, would you like to get one? The quality of our Qingyang Sect's finishing touch pen is obvious to all. It is written in the Linglong Pagoda. Heaven will bless the names of the last two!"

Ye Huangui - Listening to the blessings of Heavenly Daohui, he wanted to buy it on the spot: "Ah! Really?!"

He turned his head and said to Tan Duzhi: "Buy it, old Tan? Writing in Linglong Pagoda can get the blessing of heaven!"

The monk laughed even more happily: "The finishing touch pen of our Qingyang Sect is very cheap, as long as five spirit stones!"

Ye Huangui's smile stopped on his face, not to mention five spirit stones, even five taels of silver was expensive to him!What's more, he has never seen a real Lingshi since he grew up so old!

Ye Huangui weighed Tan Duzhi in embarrassment: "No, no need."

Tan Duzhi asked in a deep voice, "Do you really want it?"

Ye Huan responded with a sound, and he was very disappointed: "I want to write your name here, and heaven will bless you. But... I am really too poor. I'm sorry, Old Tan..."

Just when Ye Huangui was depressed, Tan Duzhi on his back said, "No, we have."

As he spoke, he touched somewhere with his left hand, and when he stretched it out again, a blue pen appeared in his palm.

42. Ye Deng Ling Long Pagoda

The monk - saw this and smiled: "Ah, so it is like this! I wish you two have a good time!"

Ye Huangui—with a dazed face: "Old Tan...you...where did you get the pen?"

He didn't know how many times Tan Duzhi's body had been looked at by him, and how many times he had washed his clothes. Except for a wheelchair, didn't he bring out nothing from Jiuxiaoxianmen? !Where did this pen come from!

Tan Duzhi said in a deep voice, "I bought it when I came to Linglong Pagoda."

Ye Huangui nodded, and then remembered an important question: "Where did you put it?! Why haven't I seen it all this time."

Tan Duzhi seemed to sigh, and Ye Huangui immediately thought of the various magical powers of the monks.It's normal for Lao Tan to have his own little secret, right?

Tan Duzhi said in a deep voice, "I have a storage bag and put it in the sea of ​​consciousness."

If an ordinary monk heard this, he would immediately react—there might be a Grandmist Pearl hidden in Tan Duzhi's sea of ​​consciousness!

The sea of ​​consciousness is the most important place for a monk, and their souls reside in the sea of ​​consciousness.The monks will carefully protect such an important place, and no one would even think of hiding the real thing in the sea of ​​consciousness.

When Tan Duzhi was trapped in the Nine Heavens Gate, Xie Huairen once tried to invade his sea of ​​consciousness to see if there was a Hongmeng Pearl, but it was fine if he couldn't find anything, and almost died in Tan Duzhi's sea of ​​consciousness.

After Tan Duzhi said this, he was waiting for Ye Huangui's reaction, but his consciousness-sweeping, Ye Huangui was messing around in the wind.

Ye Huangui—with a dazed face: "Knowledge...knowledge of the sea..."

Where is the sea of ​​consciousness?Ye Huangui's eyes are circled, monks' bodies are too complicated!It's just that he is not good at learning!So far, he has only practiced Qi cultivation, not to mention knowing the sea, his dantian has not yet formed.

Tan Duzhi's eyes darkened even more: "It's not intentional to hide it, so don't be angry. I lost all my cultivation before, so I couldn't take it out."

After thinking about it for a while, Ye Huangui suddenly realized something: "Then you took out your pen now...does it prove that your cultivation is recovering?!"

Tan Duzhi said: "No, although I have lost my cultivation base, there is still aura left in my body." His eyes darkened: "If you are willing to wait—wait, I will save some aura in the storage bag. Take it out and give it to you."

Ye Huangui—I became anxious when I heard it: "Are you stupid? Your health is not good. You are still using your spiritual energy to get things!"

He carried Tan Duzhi on his back and climbed the stairs: "You can't be so reckless in the future, you are already weak and strong. If you really run out of spiritual energy one day, the heavens want to bless you, and you don't even know where to find you !"

Tan Duzhi leaned on his shoulder, and there was a little doubt in his voice: "Don't you want to know what's in my storage bag?"

Ye Huangui chuckled twice: "Do you want to know what's in my storage bag?"

Tan Duzhi was stopped by the question: "This..."

Ye Huangui's storage bag contained some daily necessities, pots, pans, fruits, vegetables and meat.His storage bag is incomparable with the storage bag of Tan Duzhi, who was about to become Mahayana!

Ye Huangui said unhurriedly: "Old Tan, who you were in the past and what you have experienced has nothing to do with me. I only know that you are now a patient and need to rest well, relax and enjoy life. "

There are a lot of stairs. When climbing up, the magnificent decoration inside the tower will give people a feeling of vertigo.Ye Huangui could only lower his head and stare at the steps: "We have no shortage of food and clothing now. It would be great if it could add to the cake, but if it comes at the cost of hurting your body, I think it's not worth the candle."

Tan Duzhi paused, he didn't expect Ye Huangui to say that!

How many people coveted the Hongmengzhu, and in order to get news of the Hongmengzhu, they became hideous.But Ye Huangui was indifferent to the news that was right in front of him?

While speaking, Ye Huangui had already rushed to the top floor with all his might: "It's here!!"

——At the top floor, the cool breeze blows slowly, and the heat from Ye Huangui's body is blown away.There was a formation on the top of the Linglong Pagoda. Under the effect of the formation, every pore of his body felt extremely comfortable, as if his feet were stepping on clouds, and his body seemed to be floating.

Look up - look, the eyes are full of stars.This is the formation of the Linglong Pagoda, and through the formation, you can see the sky full of stars.When people come here, they can feel the vastness of morality and the vastness of the world.Standing here, my heart is wide open!

Outside the tower, the lights of Wanjia in Qingyang Town are twinkling, and you can see the dots of stars, which complement each other beautifully with the stars above your head.

The young people climbing the tower leaned against the window in twos and threes looking at the scenery outside the window, and some were writing their names on the wall with a pen in their hands.Whenever they write a pen, there will be a flash of light on the wall.

Small exclamations came from every corner from time to time, and laughter was endless.

Seeing this scenery, Ye Huangui felt it was worth it: "It's so beautiful!" It was not in vain that he and Lao Tan gave up their sleeping time to see this beautiful scenery!nice!

He released the wheelchair, then pushed Old Tan to sit by the window: "Take a quick look, Old Tan! Isn't it pretty!"

Tan Duzhi looked around, and he smiled: "Well, it looks good."

Ye Hugui propped his chin up and leaned against the window to appreciate the beautiful scenery: "I can't see so many lights at night at my house, but I can see many stars when I look up. It's your first time here, Lao Tan, so you must see more. When we go home with me in the future, it will be difficult for us to see such a beautiful scenery."

Tan Duzhi said: "This is not the first time for me to come."

Ye Huangui came back to his senses: "Oh... yes."

Tan Duzhi was so powerful before, he has seen more scenery than himself.He actually made a fuss in front of him, thinking about it makes me feel quite ashamed.

Tan Duzhi said: "Sheng Yanyue and I came here."

A small question mark popped up on Ye Huangui's head, Sheng Yanyue?who?He pondered: "Is it your friend?"

Tan Duzhi said: "It's my former fiancee."

Ye Huangui—you can understand it, no wonder Lao Tan has been in a bad mood since he entered Qingyang Town. Did he remember the happy moments with his former Taoist couple?At this time, it is inevitable to revisit the old place and feel sad.

He patted Tan Duzhi's shoulder sympathetically: "Old Tan, don't be sad. When you get well, if you still love him, you go to him!"

Tan Duzhi looked at Ye Huangui with a strange expression: "Even if I recover my cultivation, I won't go to him anymore."

Ye Huangui was puzzled: "Why?"

Tan Duzhi said: "He is now someone else's Taoist companion."

Ye Huangui—I feel more sympathetic to Tan Duzhi, has Lao Tan been dumped?He scratched his face and racked his brains: "Well... Don't be sad, old Tan, you have to stand up, believe in yourself, and you will meet better people!"

Tan Duzhi said in a deep voice: "I don't feel sad, I just feel relieved."

Ye Huangui didn't dare to speak anymore, he blinked and looked at Tan Duzhi.Tan Duzhi said unhurriedly: "Sheng Yanyue is the parent and son of my former master Sheng Huaiyi. After I entered Jiuxiao Xianmen, Sheng Huaiyi took good care of me. After I turned into a baby, he stepped forward to make an appointment with Sheng Yan for me." The moon is an unmarried Taoist couple."

Tan Duzhi said: "At the beginning, I only had friendship with Sheng Yanyue, but after I settled this matter, I felt that there was an extra burden on me. As a disciple, I cannot fail the master's entrustment; as an unmarried Taoist couple , I want to take care of the other half's emotions and body."

"Before, I always played the role of a good apprentice, senior brother, and unmarried Taoist couple, but I only forgot what I wanted."

Ye Huangui asked with concern: "What do you want?"

Confusion appeared in Tan Duzhi's eyes: "I don't know. —I always felt that I was short of something. But until now I don't know what I want."

Ye Huangui was about to cheer up Tan Duzhi, when he heard him say: "I have an opponent, he only laughed at me when he saw me for the first time. He said, Tan Duzhi, you just don't have your own ideas A puppet. He said that I have lived the life that others expect, but I dare not face up to my true self.”

Tan Duzhi looked out of the window calmly: "After a lot of things, I found that I am not a perfect person. My Taoist heart has been hit like never before, so that my cultivation base is completely abolished. Looking at the past experiences now , seems extremely absurd."

Tan Duzhi really wants to talk tonight, which is a good thing.In Ye Huangui's view, the more old Tan talked, the more proof he was getting better.

Only a puppet will not cry, make noise, move or speak. A living person must have his own thoughts.

Tan Duzhi said: "Didn't you ask me before, do I have any friends in Qingyangzong? No, I don't have friends. I came last time to customize a hairpin for Sheng Yanyue. But the hairpin hasn't If you do well, something will happen to me. Sheng Yanyue didn't come to explain to me, and she became someone else's Taoist companion."

Ye Huangui didn't know what to say anymore, he solemnly patted Tan Duzhi on the shoulder: "Old Tan, don't be sad. You deserve better!"

Tan Duzhi chuckled softly: "Didn't you say that? I'm not sad. Because I found out that I don't have that much deep friendship with Sheng Yanyue, and everything is just the shackles I put on myself."

"Sheng Huaiyi accepted me as an apprentice because of my aptitude, and because of Sheng Yanyue's physique, he wanted me to take care of him. I was tied up by them, and I felt that I could take on any responsibility. If nothing happened to me, I would continue to be They're kidnapped to do—something I don't really like.

"I can say frankly, I don't owe them anything."

Ye Huangui was so distressed, he reached out and touched Tan Duzhi's head, through the hood, Ye Huangui's body temperature still came: "Old Tan, you will meet better people and live a better life .—live healthy, safe, and joyful!”

Ye Huangui said seriously: "I am very effective in speaking!"

Tan Duzhi smiled: "Well, thank you."

Ye Huangui stretched out his hand to Tan Duzhi: "Come on, give me the pen, and I'll write blessings!" Tan Duzhi smiled and handed the pen to him: "You write first."

After the two left from the window, two rows of golden characters appeared on the wall beyond the window, brighter than the others.Compared with the neat handwriting next to it, these two rows of characters are crookedly written—it seems that they were written by two people.

The upper row reads: I wish Lao Tan good health and happiness every day!

The bottom row reads: May Xiaoye be carefree, safe and happy!
