The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

I didn't think about anything, didn't pay special attention to anything, didn't think about anything, didn't look at anything, just opened my eyes.

Being in a daze is actually what Zhong Wen is used to doing.

Use this dazed state to release the exhaustion of the whole body, and even to release the head, so that I can be full of energy the next day.

The next morning, Zhong Wen woke up.

Brother Mingxin Mingchen has already woken up and is doing some trivial things.

"Morning Uncle Jiushou, did you sleep well last night?"

After Zhong Wen opened the door, he came outside the house, Ming Xin and Ming Chen greeted Zhong Wen.

"Good morning fellow daoists, I slept well last night, you two fellow daoists are interested."

Zhong Wen responded after saluting.

Up to now, Zhong Wen still can't call Mingxin and Mingchen two nephews. He always feels that the two of them are much older than him, and it is always awkward to call themselves uncles.

However, Ming Xin and Ming Chen called him uncle, which made Zhong Wen also feel awkward.

But it's hard for Zhong Wen to explain anything, let's talk about it, if it doesn't work, just call him by his first name.

Afterwards, the three of them chanted sutras for another quarter of an hour.

"Ming Xin, please take me to the grave of Daoist Li Yu to worship."

After finishing the chanting, Zhong Wen asked Ming Xin.

Worship must be necessary, not to mention that he is an old friend of his master, no matter what, he Zhong Wen has to go to pay respects.

"Uncle Jiushou, please wait a moment."

Mingxin knew that this matter must be done today, but he didn't expect Zhong Wen to be so impatient.

Ming Xin talked about this with his younger brother Ming Chen last night, thinking that today he would ask Zhong Wen for some advice on Taoism or martial arts, and he would take Zhong Wen to worship at his master's grave one day later.

But Zhong Wen's approach disrupted the two of them's original thoughts.

However, it was impossible for them to refuse Zhong Wen's request. The two brothers and sisters took some things and took Zhong Wen to the deepest part of the valley.

After the three of them walked for half an hour, they came to the deepest part of the valley.

A lonely grave piled full of stones appeared in front of Zhong Wen's eyes.

There are no tombstones, no ceremonial guards, and no legal attendants. There are only stone piles.

When Zhong Wen saw such a lonely graveyard, a pang of sadness arose in his heart.

When people come to this world and live their lives, they come naked, and when they go, what is left is nothingness.

Apart from his two disciples, there is probably no one else who can remember him.

Lonely, maybe in the hearts of the three of them, the master and the apprentice, there is no such word, maybe, this is the fate of Daoist Li Yu in this life, but the death is too early, which makes Zhong Wen feel a sense of sadness .

And this sadness is not only because of Daoist Li Yu, but also because of himself.

s: Thanks for the reward from Z from scratch!

Chapter 155 The Enemy Comes

"Nine disciples of Li Daoling, come to worship."

Brother Mingxin and Mingchen brought Zhong Wen closer to the grave, and then yelled loudly.

Afterwards, he lit the joss stick and handed it to Zhong Wen.

Zhong Wen took it and approached the grave, solemnly and upright.

"Nine Heads were ordered by my family teacher Li Daoling to come to offer my condolences."

Before Zhong Wen came, he didn't expect such a result at all. Originally, he only came to visit his teachers and friends, but now, it has become a condolence.

Although people have never met each other, this kind of sadness arises spontaneously.

Zhong Wen didn't know why Daoist Li Yu passed away, but he also knew that when people get old, they will inevitably lose some functions of the body, and naturally, they have to pass away.Of course, these are just Zhong Wen's speculations, and the specific reason is unclear.

After the worship lasted for a while, the three of them left silently, leaving behind a lonely grave made of stones, where they stayed.

However, some of the graves of Taoist priest Li Yu's teachers are not here, but on the other side of the valley.

According to what Ming Xin said, it seems that their master told them to do so, and it is difficult for Zhong Wen to find out the reason.

None of the three spoke.

Even if they came all the way back, and sat in front of the house, they never said a word.

After all, it is unavoidable to be a little sad about worshiping, not to mention, Mingxin and Mingchen seem to have some concerns, so it is impossible to talk.

Time passed as the three of them sat facing each other.

The sun rose high, bringing some heat, and it even brought some warmth to this valley.

"Uncle Jiushou, I have to make breakfast, let senior brother talk with you."

Ming Chen felt that it was getting late, so he got up, said something to Zhong Wen, then turned around and went to a nearby stone room similar to a stove, and was busy making breakfast.

Zhong Wen knew that under such conditions, it was not easy to have a place to live, not to mention that these houses were basically made of stones.

Whether it is a Taoist temple or a house, where there are Taoists, it is naturally a Taoist temple.

Although there is no Guan Ming, but to the two brothers Ming Xin and Ming Chen, it doesn't matter after all.Even when Daoist Li Yu was alive, it probably didn't matter.

Just like Daoist Li Yu, he has lived in seclusion here for decades like a day, and whether he is famous or not, for him, he has never cared about these things.

The heart of asking is more pure than those Taoists who live in the grand view, and it is also more real.

"Ming Xin, I want to ask, why did Taoist Priest Li Yu die? Just now I saw that you and Ming Chen seemed to have something on their minds."

Zhong Wen finally couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart, and asked aloud.

Although this matter has nothing to do with Zhong Wen, such a question is really out of date.

But Zhong Wen had another idea, Daoist Li Yu was an old friend of his master, even though half a year had passed since his death, no news had been sent to Longquan Temple, so he didn't know about it.

But for the death of Daoist Li Yu, one must know the reason. If it was caused by illness, then it would be fine, but if it was really a big event, then Zhong Wen would definitely report it to his master.

"Uncle Nine Heads, master..."

When Ming Xin heard Zhong Wen's question, she was worried and didn't know where to start.

This is not impossible to say, but it is really hard to say.

Speaking of Zhong Wen is an outsider, Priest Li Yu is only of the same generation as Zhong Wen, at most he can only be regarded as Li Daoling's old friend.

Ming Xin just didn't want to involve Zhong Wen, after all, this was the matter of their master and apprentice, and even more so, his master's matter.

However, when Zhong Wen asked, he had to say nothing.

Although it's hard to say, but it has to be said, who made Zhong Wen ask?What's more, there is still the relationship of Li Daoling.

"Ming Xin, is there any unspeakable secret?"

Zhong Wen seemed hesitant to speak clearly, and he didn't know if there was something secret about the death of Taoist Li Yu.

"Uncle Jiushou, in fact, my master passed away because of the enemy who injured my master. Later, the enemy came to the door and severely injured the master and the old man again. In the end, the master died because of the serious injury. of."

Mingxin finally told about his master's death, but he didn't fully explain the root cause of it.

After all, this is a matter between their three masters and apprentices and their enemies, and there are some secrets involved.

After Zhong Wen heard this, he didn't know whether he should express his opinion. After thinking for a while, he finally didn't ask. It's like listening to some secrets.

And there must be a reason for this enemy.

Just like the Taiyi Sect of Zhong Wen's division, with Taiyi Sect, they are enemies, and they are also big enemies.

Becoming an enemy has different reasons.

But according to Zhong Wen's understanding, it was nothing more than some matters related to interests.

But considering that Taoist Li Yu and the others are already hermits living here, this conflict of interests seems unreasonable.

"Ming Xin, mourning for both of you brothers and sisters."

Although Zhong Wen didn't ask the reason, he still said a polite word.

Ming Xin also knows well that some things may not be helped by people if they are told.

Furthermore, this involves the three masters and apprentices and the secrets of their masters, so it is naturally impossible to tell Zhong Wen everything, even if their masters are old friends with Li Daoling, it is impossible to say everything .

Not from the same family, it must be the end of the mouth.

In fact, this is also caused by Zhong Wen's curiosity. If he hadn't been so curious, there wouldn't have been such a conversation.

It is also impossible to make Mingxin feel heavy at this moment, with sadness and worry on his face.

The two were relatively silent.

Ming Xin felt sad at this moment, and was still thinking about some things.

But Zhong Wen felt that he was a bit aggressive just now, and asked some questions that shouldn't be asked.

The air was as quiet as water, if it wasn't for the sound of Mingchen making breakfast in that stone room, one would have thought that the two were still competing in a competition.

"Uncle Jiushou, senior brother, it's time for dinner."

Two quarters of an hour later, Ming Chen made breakfast, brought several large bowls over and put them on a stone slab.

Ming Chen also didn't notice the strangeness between Zhong Wen and his senior brother Ming Xin.

He just made breakfast and brought it over. As for what Zhong Wen talked with his senior brother, he didn't pay attention to it, let alone ask.

Breakfast was the same as last night, still green vegetable porridge.

The foul smell, here, seems to be isolated.

"Ming Xin Ming Chen, don't you brothers and sisters hunt some wild beast meat here?"

Zhong Wen looked at the bowl of vegetable porridge in front of him, and said he was not hungry, the gurgling in his stomach had already started screaming, said he was hungry, it would be difficult to fill his stomach with just this bowl of vegetable porridge.

"Uncle Jiushou, our senior brothers are also carnivorous, but we haven't gone hunting in this mountain forest recently."

Ming Chen explained while drinking the vegetable porridge.

Zhong Wen didn't ask any more questions, and then, he picked up the bowl and drank the green vegetable porridge.

From what he saw early in the morning, the two senior brothers, Ming Xin and Ming Chen, had planted some vegetables, but not many.

Most of the rocks in the valley, food, naturally cannot be planted.

It is estimated that these rice porridges must have been bought by the two of them in Fangzhou.

Food here is extremely precious, even if it is Zhong Wen himself, it will take two days to enter this valley, and even if he uses the lifting technique, it will probably take one day.

Although Zhong Wen didn't know how good the martial arts of the two brothers were, but thinking about it, there shouldn't be much difference, otherwise, it would not be so easy to get in and out.

It can be seen from the hands of their two senior brothers.There are thick calluses on the palms and backs of the hands, and the kung fu on the hands is much stronger than the kung fu on the legs.

As for what kind of kung fu the two of them were practicing, it was inconvenient for Zhong Wen to guess, but from this point of view, it must be the kung fu of the hands, not the kung fu of the legs.

After dinner, Zhong Wen followed Ming Chen to the vegetable garden they planted to have a look.

At the same time, I also walked around to see what was going on around here.

Although the valley is not big, it is about the size of two football fields. There are mostly stones and rocks, and there are not many trees, but there are quite a lot of thorns.

There is no need to worry about the source of drinking water.In one corner of the valley, there is a pond that should be excavated, and the spring water flows downstream.

Not much, but it is no problem to use it for drinking and watering the vegetable garden.But if you use a lot of water, it is probably unlikely.

If Zhong Wen had to choose a place to live in seclusion, he would never choose such a place.

If you want scenery without scenery, if you want fields without fields, if you want to be self-reliant, it seems a bit difficult.

When the sun was noon, Ming Chen took Zhong Wen back to the house.

Ming Xin was holding a book and reading it at this time, when he saw the two came back, he stood up.

"Uncle Nine Heads, I want to ask my uncle some questions."

Ming Xin wanted to ask Zhong Wen for advice since yesterday, and he didn't ask until now.

"Ming Xin, don't talk about asking for advice, let's confirm each other."

Zhong Wen didn't dare to ask for advice, no one would know who was more capable.It's impossible to be a hermit here without something in your stomach.
