The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

"Young master, you must come back."

"Young master, you have to be good."

"My lord, you have to take care of yourself."

"..."

It is still the same as before, the appearance of all beings, even women.

Everyone's words are different, but everyone's thoughts are basically the same. They all hope that Zhong Wen can be well and come back when the time comes.

Zhong Wen didn't reply, and didn't look back. After directly crossing the stream, after a few vertical jumps, he disappeared from their sight.

After a while, Zhong Wen landed on the ground and arrived at a mountain top, looking at Wudang Village in the distance.

However, at this time, it was no longer called Wudang Village, but was called Gongzijian by the nine-star maid.

Zhong Wen refuted this name several times, but to no avail, so he had to acquiesce.

Young Master Jian, no matter how you listen to it, it sounds like you are so cheap, Young Master. This is not the name of a place, it is a completely insulting name.

After looking away for a while, Zhong Wen turned around and left, leaving the nine maids to live in the son's stream, practicing martial arts, literature, medicine and so on.

Chapter 199

After Zhong Wen left, he was happy in his heart.

After staying in this mountain for more than half a year, my heart has long wanted to leave.

If it weren't for these women, how could he have stayed in this mountain forest for so long? Isn't the outside world pretty?Or the food outside is not good?Well, the food outside is really not good.

No matter what, Zhong Wen is really light now, as if he suddenly let go of a heavy burden after taking it on.

An hour later, Zhong Wen came to the official road and started heading towards Wuguan.

Although he had to cross Danshui to reach Wuguan, Zhong Wen was also thinking about whether he should go directly to Shangluo County by boat so that he could reach Chang'an quickly.

As for how to choose, Zhong Wen is now more willing to take a boat to Shangluo, after all, it can save a lot of time.

Furthermore, the current weather is getting colder and colder. If we arrive in Chang'an sooner, maybe it will snow.

Although the weather is cold, Zhong Wen's heart is warm.

That's right, it's hot, and if it's cold, it's dead.Ha ha.

Zhong Wen's longing for Chang'an is no longer a day or two, but when he knew he came to the Tang Dynasty, he began to yearn for Chang'an.

Although he can travel directly to Chang'an by traveling down the mountain, but this journey has given him some insight, which can be regarded as an experience.

Every experience is a life experience.

Whether it's killing people or saving people, everything will make Zhong Wen grow up gradually.

The various unknowns that came to this world at the beginning have gradually merged into it now.

At the beginning, I was not calm enough, but now I have gradually matured. Perhaps, this is a kind of life experience.

Of course, Zhong Wen prefers to be more innocent and simple.

Because, as long as you are more innocent, you will be happier, and you will not be depressed every day.

Maybe everyone's life is different, but Zhong Wen prefers to be more innocent. After all, he is a Taoist priest, not a peddler, and he doesn't need to be a philistine.

Reciting scriptures and practicing martial arts, cultivating Taoism and studying medicine are all simple.

If you really want to add some complicated polite schemes, it is estimated that Zhong Wen, a Taoist priest, may not be willing to do it.

If possible, Zhong Wen would prefer to choose to live like that brother Mingxin Mingchen, hiding in the mountains and living a simple life.

Only, this is impossible.

After all, he bears the responsibility of the Supreme Unity Sect and the burden of the family, old and young.This is something Zhong Wen can't choose, and likewise, he can't unload it.

Perhaps, when he was old, Zhong Wen would like his children and grandchildren to walk around his knees, listen to the gossip of his parents, and live such a beautiful life.

In the evening, Zhong Wen stayed on the side of the official road.

Zhong Wen has long been used to this kind of wild life, but he just needs to be more careful.

Otherwise, if a wild beast came in the middle of the night, maybe my life would be gone.

Fortunately, Zhong Wen lit a few fires, which could prevent the attacks of some wild beasts.

Wild animals are afraid of fire, not to mention there are several piles of fire.

The weather is colder, but with the fire, it can also avoid some coldness. However, Zhong Wen doesn't care about the cold, and his body seems to be a little cold to the cold.

It's not that Zhong Wen is not afraid of the cold, it's just that his body has been polished for several years and soaked in potions, so he is no longer what he was back then.

Others may need to wear thick clothes in heavy snow, but Zhong Wen only needs to wear one or two clothes.

This also makes it easier for Zhong Wen to act without being too bloated.

In the early morning of the second day, before dawn, Zhong Wen woke up, and then, he meditated and practiced the exercises for half an hour.

After finishing the meditation, he got up and started to leave. Just in time, the sky began to brighten a lot.

There is no one in officialdom, and of course there are no bandits.

Now that Zhong Wen has used the word bandit, he feels a little bit of hatred in his heart.

Perhaps, after experiencing the Wudangzhai incident, he felt very sad for the bandits. If there were fewer such incidents in the world, the world would be a better place.

The word beautiful, in the Tang Dynasty, seems a bit ironic, at least, it is like this at present.

Zhong Wen's thinking will always unknowingly carry some things from his previous life, just like the word "beautiful".

In ancient times, there was nothing good or bad about it.

It has been many years since I came to Tang Dynasty, what is it like, do you have no idea?Don't you know what's going on right now?

It's just that Zhong Wen is more willing to choose such a beauty, but the times don't allow it.

"Bang, bang, visitors in the aisle, be courteous to others."

Just as Zhong Wen was on his way with his head depressed, there was the sound of knocking on a wooden clapper in front of the official road, as well as the voice of a year old.

Zhong Wen looked up and realized that this was someone's funeral.

Immediately afterwards, Zhong Wen gave way to the side of the road, lowering his head slightly.

Zhong Wen didn't know that he was not far away from Danshui. It was estimated that after another hour or two, he would arrive at Danshui.

And the person who happened to be attending a funeral on this road was probably someone from the village near Danshui.

A group of people, dressed in plain clothes, or tied some white silk, left crying all the way.

Zhong Wen looked at the people who left, and guessed that the family who went to the funeral probably died of a young person. Otherwise, the silk cloth in front should be at the beginning, but the silk cloth for the funeral is tailed.

As Zhong Wen thought, it was indeed a young man who died.

The beginning of the silk cloth is for the elderly, which means peace, and the tail of the silk cloth is for young people, or people who are not very old. If there are elders in the family, then the tail must be tied. Means sad.

Of course, there are customs in different places, which is not necessarily the case.

But as a Taoist priest, Zhong Wen knew about the funeral, and he could guess what was going on here.

As for who died, this is not Zhong Wen's concern. In this world, people die every day, and likewise, there will be births. This is the way of nature.

There is life and there is death, no matter what, all of this is in the nature of the world, no one can stop it, and no one can escape.

After standing for a while, Zhong Wen turned around and continued walking towards the official road.

But when Zhong Wen hadn't left for a quarter of an hour, he saw the funeral again.

However, this time Zhong Wen was a little more conscious, and went directly to the side of the official road, and there was no need for others to remind him.

Two consecutive funerals, although uncommon, do happen.

If such a thing happens in the same family, it is a double funeral, one before and one behind, and the time interval must be between one stick of incense and two sticks of incense.

After Zhong Wen watched the mourners pass by, he realized that this was indeed a double funeral.

Moreover, this double funeral is a husband and wife funeral.

The previous encounter belonged to a young man, but this time it was a woman attending a funeral.

There are still a lot of details in this.

For example, the first time I met, except for the silk cloth tail, the flowers and fish funeral objects in front were basically colorful.

If it is an old person, it is definitely white and not colorful. Moreover, when an old person passes away, there are only fish, but not flower fish, and there will be relatively many things buried with him.

In fact, in the homes of peasant households, there are basically not many funeral objects, most of them are things made of paper, and the paper made are basically some straw paper, and even the coffins will be different.

The coffins of old people need four flowers, which means scattered flowers. If it is the coffins of young people, they should be Siping, which means lying flat and advancing, which means that if there are offspring, then they should make progress. It means that if there are no descendants, it will be inherited by the descendants of relatives.

The time of double funerals actually means that they are connected, between one and two pillars of incense, it means continuous.

Of course, there are also father-son funerals and brother-sister funerals for double funerals, each of which is different and particular.

However, in some rich families, or nobles, with this kind of double funeral, it is even more particular.

Floats and ceremonies are absolutely indispensable, and there must be virgin boys and girls tied up.

Funeral mourners must be in pairs, not single.

Funerals always make people feel pity in people's hearts, just like Zhong Wen at this moment, there will be a trace of pity in his heart.

Some people may say, bad luck, it's just that his own life experience is not enough, and his mind is not stable enough.

Of course, it might be the same if it was Zhong Wen in his previous life, but at this moment, besides being a Taoist priest, Zhong Wen is also an ordinary person.

Human beings have flesh and blood. When they see this kind of double funeral, they will inevitably feel some pity in their hearts. What's more, what they see is the double funeral of husband and wife.

However, Zhong Wen was really guessing in his heart, whether the husband and wife in this double funeral died in love, or else, why the husband and wife had a double funeral?Not old people.

"The dead are gone, there will be no suffering in the rebirth, and the blessing will be rewarded for a lifetime."

Zhong Wen looked at the funeral procession going away, and said something in his mouth.

Funeral, needless to say, go your own way.

Afterwards, Zhong Wen turned and left, heading towards the front of the official road, leaving patches of gloomy colors scattered on the official road.

After Zhong Wen walked for an hour, he finally saw Danshui standing in front of him.

On the edge of Danshui, there is a small pier. On both sides of the pier, there are some houses scattered. Not far away, there is a village, fields and so on.

There are no people on the pier, and there are no boats in the river.

Zhong Wen looked at the pier not far ahead, thinking in his heart.Is there no one to ferry this Danshui?Or is there no ship carrying passengers?

After that, Zhong Wen continued to walk forward until he reached the pier.

No one, indeed no one.

There are quite a few houses, but all the houses are closed, and there is no sound.

"It's so strange, is there no one here? Or have they all left?"

Zhong Wen was speechless. Apart from meeting two funeral processions along the way, he met no one else.

Could it be that there is no one here because the funeral procession failed?Everyone went to the funeral?However, according to what Zhong Wen saw, there were no children in the funeral. Could it be that there were no children in these houses?

Although the weather is colder, the children will always come out to play.

Immediately afterwards, Zhong Wen knocked on the door of a house, but there was no response for a long time.

In fact, there was no one in the house near the pier, which was really close to what Zhong Wen had guessed.

It's just that the people near the pier didn't go to the funeral without anyone, but went to a market town in the upper reaches of the river to receive the food distributed by the government.

The funeral procession is so far away from the pier, how could it be the residence of those people, but Zhong Wen doesn't know now.

It is said that the people near the pier are already poor, and this year, Danshui flooded, which made them have no food to eat, so they had to go to the government to receive relief food.

And when Zhong Wen arrived at the pier, the people here had already gone to get food with their families in the early morning, and no one would be left at home. After all, it was necessary to check the population. One counts as one.

It was supposed to be distributed by the village or something, but this year it seems that the regulations of previous years have been changed, and the food will be collected directly at the designated place, which makes Zhong Wen seem a little confused when he comes to the pier.

However, Zhong Wen didn't directly open the door of his house. If this was the case, he would be a thief.
