The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

He picked up firewood, lit it with flint, and the fire also burned up. In the center of the fire, there were two big hares wrapped in mud.

Zhong Wen quietly looked at the two beggar rabbits in the fire. This was the first time he had done this. As for whether it was delicious or not, he really didn't know, but he thought it wouldn't be too bad.

Of course, this method is not much different from digging a pit and burning it, and with some seasonings added to it, the taste may be better than it.

While adding firewood to the fire, Zhong Wen circulated the internal qi in his body, which could be regarded as improving his skill while being bored.

Making a beggar rabbit is not something that can be done in a short while, it takes at least an hour to do it well, but the hunger in his stomach always affects his thoughts.

Fortunately, Zhong Wen's dual-purpose or multi-purpose, etc., will not be affected by much, at least, it does not have much relationship at present.

Chapter 83 Problems caused by the stomach

At this time, Li Daoling in the dining room finally finished his last bite of food, but he didn't leave the dining room, but just sat quietly on the stool in the dining room.

Everyone in the dining room, as if on thin ice, was very quietly waiting for their master to speak.

However, as time passed by, Li Daoling didn't speak, which made everyone even more at a loss.

Perhaps, in everyone's heart, they are waiting for the Lord's scolding, but this kind of waiting is a kind of torment, even more a kind of torture.

Chen Feng, who was standing on the side, wanted to speak, but in this situation, he also knew that his identity made him unable to speak.

Although the relationship between Chen Feng and Li Daoling is relatively good, but no matter how good it is, in this Longquan Temple, they are not the masters, but just an ordinary Taoist.

The atmosphere in the dining room was eerily quiet, without the sound of Li Daoling eating, the atmosphere was even more strange.

Li Daoling didn't speak, and no one dared to make a sound, even if he moved the stool or his buttocks.

"Jiu Shou is my disciple, and in the future, he will also be the master of Longquan Temple. No one is wrong or right in today's matter, whether it is now or in the future; I hope you will treat Jiu Shou as the master of the future. If he has any needs, you all need to satisfy him, let alone this stomach thing."

"I'm getting older and older, and I don't know how long I can live. But I hope that in the future, no matter what, you will treat Jiushou the same as me; don't just because he is a child of a tenant family under the mountain. , but have a different idea about him, if anyone dares to do this, then don't blame me for not being sympathetic."

"Jiu Shou, although he is a child of a tenant family at the foot of the mountain; but now, Jiu Shou is my disciple of Li Daoling, and the master of the future of Longquan Temple. This stomach is not full, and he needs to go to the mountains and forests to catch hares by himself. Filling this stomach, my face as a master is dull, do you think you still have the face to eat here?"

Li Daoling's words were spoken very slowly, but the tone was very serious, which shocked everyone in the dining room into a little panic.

Li Daoling looked at everyone in the dining room, then stood up, raised his legs and walked out, leaving this group of people in the dining room.

Whether it was Chen Feng or anyone else, everyone was thinking about what Li Daoling said just now.

Yes, they looked down on Zhong Wen more or less in the past, no matter whether Zhong Wen is now Li Daoling's disciple or the future master of Longquan Temple, in their consciousness, they still regard Zhong Wen as the tenant family at the foot of the mountain. child.

Although they didn't look down on them, there were more or less people who looked down on them. After all, they were the Taoists in Longquan Temple, or the family members of the Taoists, and they always had a contemptuous attitude towards those tenants. .

But now, because Zhong Wen practiced the exercises, he was too hungry, and because he didn't have enough food, Li Daoling was very annoyed.

Although Li Daoling didn't blame any of them, Li Daoling's words were a reminder, and likewise, a warning.

To remind everyone that he, Li Daoling, is the master of Longquan Temple, and his disciple is also the master of Longquan Temple.

Everyone in the dining room looked at each other, sighed heavily in their hearts, and began to examine their own problems. Don't be careful and offend Li Daoling or Jiu Shou, then their own family may really be killed. Swept away.

"Okay, everyone should pay attention to it in the future. The host didn't mean to blame anyone, but just reminded everyone that although Jiushou is a child of a tenant family at the foot of the mountain, he is no different from all of us. We should respect each other. That's good."

After Chen Feng saw Li Daoling leave, the embarrassing atmosphere in the dining room dissipated, so he spoke aloud.

After Li Daoling left the dining room, he raised his head and looked at the sky, but he smelled the smoke of firewood in his nose, and then he raised his legs and walked towards the outside.

"Master, why are you here?"

Zhong Wen was adding some firewood to the fire, but he saw Li Daoling coming out of the view, walking towards him, then he got up from the ground and bowed to Li Daoling.

"Nine Poems, it's not good for the teacher, so you can't even eat enough."

Li Daoling came over and saw that his beloved apprentice was burning a fire, probably there were hares in the fire, he felt a little embarrassed.

"Master, it's the disciple who can eat too much, even more so than everyone else. This can't be blamed on the master. If it is to blame, it can only be blamed on myself."

Zhong Wen didn't expect his master to apologize to him. No matter how he heard it, he felt that something was wrong, but he thought it was because he was so hungry that everyone didn't have enough to eat.

"Jiu Shou, are there two hares in your fire? Why don't you roast them directly?"

Li Daoling approached Zhong Wen, sat down, looked at the fire in front of him, and thought to himself, why the Jiushou roasted hare was not roasted on the fire, but why it was buried in the fire.

"Master, hehe, this is not a roasted hare, but a beggar's hare. After a while, Master, I will try it. The taste is definitely much better than the roasted or roasted hare."

Zhong Wen listened to the master's question, and quickly explained it to Li Daoling with a smile.As far as cooking skills are concerned, Zhong Wen is confident that he is definitely a master chef. Although he doesn't know how skilled the royal chefs in the palace are, but if he thinks about it, in this neighborhood, his skills dare to be ranked second, and he will never Some people dare to be the first.

"Okay, I'll try your cooking for my teacher later. I think you, the flower rabbit, must be the same as the dishes you fry, and they must be delicious."

After Li Daoling listened to Zhong Wen's words, he also looked forward to his disciple's craftsmanship. He had also tasted the delicious dishes cooked by Zhong Wen in the past, so he naturally had the same expectation for this called Huatu.

Although Li Daoling didn't know why this Beggar Rabbit was called a Beggar Rabbit, he felt a little guilty about his disciple's filial piety.

As the master of the temple, he didn't even fill his disciple's stomach, which made him a little ashamed, and even made him ashamed to face his own disciple.

As for Zhong Wen, he didn't know what happened in the dining room at all, let alone what the master in front of him was thinking. He just wanted to do things according to his own ideas. If he ate too much, everyone would have nothing to eat. That's why I chose not to eat anymore.

What's more, although catching wild rabbits is for filling the stomach, it can be regarded as a tooth-beating sacrifice, and it is just to increase some meat for oneself.

Chapter 84 Master's Sword Manual

The sun slowly climbed up to the middle from the east. Li Daoling and Zhong Wen sat on the grass, chatting and adding some firewood to the fire from time to time.

"Jiu, this afternoon, the master will pass on the sword skills of the master to you. At that time, you have to learn the sword skills of the master well, and you can't keep thinking about practicing your favorite spear skills. Now it's just you and me, when the time comes, you can't forget the master's swordsmanship."

After chatting with Zhong Wen, Li Daoling began to talk about the master's swordsmanship to Zhong Wen.

"Master, why didn't you teach me last night?"

Zhong Wen was curious, shouldn't the master's swordsmanship be passed on to him along with the meteorite sword?Do we still have to teach it separately?Is there something to say here?

"The original idea of ​​being a teacher is to let you learn the master's Baoyuan Kungfu first, and then teach you the master's swordsmanship after a year or so, but who knew that your understanding of swordsmanship is so high, This is also the teacher's fault, in the afternoon, the teacher will pass on the sword technique of the teacher to you."

Li Daoling has always been in a situation of being blind to Zhong Wen. In his thinking, he himself has been blind for more than ten years.

Such a good disciple, but let him be wronged for several years, which made him feel a little regretful, regretting that he didn't go to the village at the foot of the mountain to check it out.

Fortunately, it is not too late at this time. Although it is a bit late for practicing kung fu and swordsmanship, but this disciple of mine is very diligent and never fails for a moment. Li Daoling is still very happy in his eyes. At least, diligence can make up for one's weakness. Or, the disciple's talent and comprehension are so high, it has never been like this at his age.

"Master, I will practice swordsmanship well, but I still like spearmanship, so please allow me to practice spearmanship after I have practiced my master's swordmanship."

"Okay, as long as you don't abandon the master's swordsmanship, you can also practice spear skills when the time comes, but I hope you will still focus on swordsmanship as a teacher."

"Master, can you help me get a long gun for me? It seems that there are no long guns to use in the temple."

"It is true that no one in the temple uses spear skills. When the time comes, Chen Feng will go to Lizhou City to buy you a long spear."

"Thank you master."

The two masters and apprentices, just say you and me one sentence at a time, which fully shows the harmony between the two masters and apprentices.

As the conversation between the master and the apprentice progressed, the beggar rabbit in the fire gradually began to get acquainted, and a strong fragrance began to emanate from the air.

"It smells good."

Li Daoling wanted to tell his disciples about the master's swordsmanship, but the smell from the fire made him stop what he was supposed to say.

"Master, I put out my fire, and I will give the master a taste of the beggar rabbit I made later."

Zhong Wen also smelled this strong fragrance, and immediately started to put out the firewood, and took a branch to push the charcoal fire away.

The two mud bags wrapped in the hare were pulled out by Zhong Wen, and Zhong Wen couldn't wait to smash all the mud on the surface.

"Master, this is the Beggar Rabbit. The scent is stronger, so the taste shouldn't be too bad."

Zhong Wen pushed the finished Beggar Rabbit towards Li Daoling, so that his master could eat the Beggar Rabbit he had made while it was hot.

On the big leaf that wrapped the beggar rabbit, there was a lot of rabbit oil soup, and it was so hot that Zhong Wen's fingers were burned a little uncomfortable, so he put his fingers into his mouth.

There was a lot of soup on his fingers, and Zhong Wen enjoyed the taste very much. Moreover, this was the first time that he had done this. The seasoning was also enough, and the taste was absolutely good.

"It's really fragrant. This is the first time I've smelled such a delicious food, so Master should have a good taste."

Li Daoling smelled the scent that made him slander, and impatiently tore a small piece of rabbit meat, and sent it to his mouth.

Li Daoling had never eaten such delicious rabbit meat. When the rabbit meat was delivered to his mouth, he closed his eyes and felt the taste of the called flower rabbit on the tip of his tongue.Yes, Li Daoling had never tasted such delicious dishes, even more delicious than the dishes Zhong Wen cooked the day he first entered the Taoist temple.

From his expression, one can tell that he is enjoying the delicious food of the beggar rabbit, while Zhong Wen on the side has already pulled a rabbit leg and sent it to his mouth.

Zhong Wen didn't have so many expressions to show, he just wanted to fill up his stomach, and it's been more than an hour, and his stomach has long been growling.

"Collection, aroma, and taste, nine poems, you are called Huatu, it really opened the eyes of the teacher."

After eating a small piece of rabbit meat, Li Daoling opened his eyes, looked at the beggar rabbit on the ground, and spoke to Zhong Wen.

"Master, you can eat as much as you want, this is my disciple's filial piety to you."

Zhong Wen stopped eating, with a lot of rabbit meat in his mouth, and said to Li Daoling with a smile.

Li Daoling looked at his disciple's appearance like this, and didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment, although the Jiaohuatu was indeed delicious, but Zhong Wen's eating made Li Daoling feel a little sad.

Zhong Wen didn't see anything, and continued to eat.

"Master, eat it, if it's not enough, I'll just go to the forest and catch a wild rabbit."

Seeing the master staring at him, Zhong Wen felt a little embarrassed, and spoke to Li Daoling.

"Okay, master eat."

Li Daoling couldn't stop staring at Zhong Wen, lowered his head, pulled a piece of rabbit meat and started to eat it.However, in his heart, he was thinking that although the two hares were delicious, he thought that his disciple had not eaten enough for breakfast today, and even more, he thought about leaving the hare he had given to Zhong Wen.

In the relatively silent scene, the appearance of the master and the apprentice is a little funny. In the eyes of outsiders, they look a little like two down-and-out Taoist priests.

After Li Daoling casually ate some rabbit meat, he stood up.

"Jiu, I'm going back to the temple first, you ate these two hares here, I'll go find out the master's swordsmanship first."

Li Daoling found an excuse and said to Zhong Wen, then turned and left, walking towards the temple.

Zhong Wen didn't have time to reply at all, even if he wanted to reply, he didn't have time to talk, his mouth was already stuffed with hare meat, so there was no way he could speak.

Zhong Wen didn't feel anything, he watched his master leave until Li Daoling disappeared from his sight, and then continued to eat his beggar rabbit.

After Li Daoling returned to his room, he took out a small box from a dark compartment in a cabinet.

In this small box is the Taiyimen's swordsmanship and sword manual.

Li Daoling blew on the lid of the small box to blow away some dust on the surface, and gently carried it to the table.

He hasn't brought out this master's sword manual for many years. Since he put away this sword manual, he has never taken it out. Calculating the time, it has been nearly ten or twenty years. .

After opening the small box, there was a blue booklet inside. There were no words on the surface of the booklet, let alone any inscription, which looked extremely simple and natural.

Chapter 85 Future Sword Master

Zhong Wen, who was watching outside, ate the two beggar rabbits two quarters of an hour later, went to the pool, washed them, took the knives and the rest of the things, and walked to the inside of the temple.

Then, after putting the things down in the stove, he turned and left, heading for the master's house.

"Dong dong" Zhong Wen came to the house and knocked on the door of his master's room.

"Jiu Shou, come in, the door is open."

After Li Daoling in the room heard the knock on the door, the sound came from inside, and Zhong Wen then pushed open the door and entered the room.Li Daoling didn't even need to think about it, he knew that the knock on the door came from Zhong Wen.

"Master, I'm back."

Zhong Wen stood aside, waiting for his master's instructions, or even waiting for the master's swordsmanship to be taught to him.

"Nine Poems, this is the master's sword manual. As a master, I will give it to you from today onwards. You must keep it safe, don't damage it, don't lose it."

Li Daoling handed the seemingly nameless sword manual to Zhong Wen, and Zhong Wen took it carefully.

"Master, don't worry, I will not lose such an important thing, let alone damage it."

In fact, as far as this master's sword manual is concerned, even if Zhong Wen wants to tear it apart, it will basically not be damaged. This sword manual is not made of paper, it is made of sheepskin with special techniques, and it is indestructible by water and fire. Ordinary swords are hard to hurt.

"Nine Poems, I have basically told you everything about the master's school, and there are only these books of the master's school. From now on, you have to keep them well. In the future, if you accept disciples, you have to pass them on. Your disciple, don't cut off the root of our Taiyi Sect."

At this time, Li Daoling seemed to have let go of a heavy burden on his shoulders, and he was unusually relaxed, or he had handed over this heavy burden to Zhong Wen, which made him look relaxed.

"Master, I will remember. I will definitely live up to my master's love for me, and I will never forget my master's orders."

Zhong Wen looked at Li Daoling, and assured Li Daoling loudly.For him, this may be as simple as a job; because, so far, he has not fully taken his identity to heart, the thoughts of his previous life have influenced him, and it is estimated that it will take a long time to enter the in this role.

Let's talk about it first, who can say clearly about the future?Of course, with Zhong Wen's understanding of this era and Longquan Temple, these things will become more and more important to the teacher's affairs.

After Zhong Wen finished speaking, he began to open the master's sword manual.

On the first page, four large characters appeared in front of my eyes, 'Taiyi Sword Art', which corresponds to the name of the Taiyi Sect. There is no author, let alone any other characters, only these four characters, and they still belong to the seal script Fortunately, Zhong Wen in his previous life had studied these things, otherwise, he really didn't know these four characters.
