sleep on pillow

After arriving in Ganzhou City, the incident of arson and demons, which seemed to be a bit of a guesswork, seemed to be settled satisfactorily with the passage of time.On the other hand, with the help of the twelve Taoist warriors and enthusiastic residents in the city, the "Xiqiao Mountain Lingxu Palace in Ganzhou City Charity Office" was finally successfully completed after a month and a half of beating.

And the Taoist priests who have been holding ice cubes for a long time, eating and waiting to die in the Yuelai Inn, can finally move all their luggage into the new courtyard. Whether it's the workers or these Taoist boys, they feel that they are very happy when they let go of the big stone in their hearts, but there is one person among them who is not happy.

This person is Lu Xiu old way.You must know that the shopkeeper Lin of the Yuelai Inn also has the craftsmanship of making homemade rice wine. Although it is not as good as the secret rice wine made by the chef in the Daoxiang Building, it is mellow and sweet in the mouth, and the warmth of a few cups is like the warmth of the spring equinox; The famous actress in the wine, according to Lu Xiu's old way, seems to be in the northern border, where the north wind is blowing and the ground is ten feet cold. People's faces were flushed red.

The old Taoist priest with white beard and hair caressed himself for the past few days, and the beard that had finally grown back slowly felt like he was beating his chest and feet.You must know that during this month and a half, the old Taoist priest only needs to call his buddy, and the little brother in a cap and cloth clothes will deliver those delicious wines and delicacies to his house in person, without leaving home. Taste the fine nectar and jade liquid, abalone and ginseng wing belly.

What's more, as the No. [-] inn in this city, shopkeeper Lin also provides door-to-door service, as long as the customer pays a little money, and then lists the food he wants to eat on the menu, there will be food in this room. The rider rides a fast horse to the famous Daoxianglou to quickly fetch the menu and presents it to the guests, because both the rider and the horse are top-notch players in Ganzhou City, and the dishes are served on the guests' tables. On the table, it must be still steaming hot, making people's index fingers wide open.

Lu Xiu's old way often sent the shopkeeper to provide him with food and wine.Now the construction site in the west of the city is not only far away from the Daoxiang Building, but even the inn is far away, and the west of the city is so inaccessible, but the shops around are either carpenter's shops or blacksmith shops. There are not even a few grocery stores in the neighborhood.It's just that there is no paper and nowhere to buy in the latrine, and when there is no food, I have to eat iron nails as rice.

It's no wonder that Lu Xiu's old way is depressed. If anyone is like this, he will not feel good when he falls from the heavenly palace and falls into the hell.On the second day after the completion of this residence, those little Taoist boys brought the strange beasts that were originally loaded with materials, and tied everyone's luggage to them. Wishing to throw his narrow box of books on the mount, and then walked slowly to the other courtyard.

Gouwa'er was standing beside Lu Xiu Laodao. The boy was wearing a coarse white blouse today, and a ponytail was tied on the top of his head with a hair rope. As the years went by, the boy was quite handsome.Seeing Lu Xiu's dejected look, Gouwa'er couldn't help reaching out and patted the shoulder of the dean of the Charity Department who was sent to "monitor the world and go to Dongting Xianke". The latter looked impatient and waved his hand He knocked down the young man's wrist, and the young man took that arm, pulled up the upper wrist guard a little, and said with a smile: "Boy, I'm going to congratulate Daoist Lu for moving to a new home today." Fist.

Looking at the old Taoist priest who was in a really bad mood, he couldn't help but laugh.The little old man took out a feather fan from his bosom, shook it to himself and said, "Shen's boy, I appreciate your kindness. It's just that the old man appreciates it. It's just that I was thinking about it. It is very unusual to have this arson monster not caught, and this poisonous day in the sky, the common people are suffering from this severe drought, my heart hurts, the pain kills me, and I really don’t have the heart to celebrate the joy of housewarming.”

The old man shook his head and shook his head, beat his chest and feet for a while, and looked at the world for a while, but he had the air of a world-class man. The servants behind Gouwa'er looked at this old god who seemed to be over half a hundred years old. Still thinking about them, my heart was greatly moved. All of a sudden, words like "old god, old god" and "Bodhisattva's heart" kept coming and going in my ears.

On the contrary, Gouwaer sounds funny, but if he didn't get along well with this poor old man, maybe Gouwaer would also fall for this old man's trick.Gou Wa'er remembered that even though his father had seen too much laziness of Lu Xiu's old way, he still respected this old way, and withdrew his thoughts in his heart.

But when the old man shook his head and shook his head, he put his head into Gouwa'er's ear and said, "To tell you the truth, brother Shen, brother, I spent the money from the public house to go in and out of the Daoxianglou, and I was there again. In the Yuelai Inn, spending at will, this matter has already been sent to the Lingxu Hall with a paper flying sword by the Lingying Xiaodao boy, our head teacher Jing Mingzi was furious, and the next day Then I used the round light mirror to scold the old Taoist, not only that, but also took back my money bag, brother, and handed it over to this little Taoist priest for safekeeping. My heart is bitter, if the old Taoist drinks wine in the future I'm addicted, don't refuse me thousands of miles away, this old man has some difficulties." Gou Wa'er tilted his head and happened to see the old man winking at him, as if he was about to cry.

But I don't know whether it's because of his old age or his lack of a sad expression. The old man didn't shed a single tear. The tumbling horse and monkey are virtuous.After hearing these words, Gou Wa'er had no choice but to say to the old man: "Although we are a small family, we can still afford a few meals of soju, but you are the master of this Taoist temple. Should the way you speak be changed? It’s really not what it looks like, I’ve met quite a few of you Taoists, and I’ve never seen such an undisciplined Taoist!”

The old Taoist was very happy when he heard that the Houshan family had opened the door to him. As for whether he heard what Gouwaer said later, it was out of his consideration.

In this way, a relocation brigade composed of alien beasts, Taoists, and helpers waiting to get their wages arrived at the other hospital of the Charity Office smoothly in an atmosphere of joy and concern for the country and the people.Not to mention that this person turned his back on his back, the relocation process and subsequent arrangement matters after the dust has settled.

Since the completion of this good deed in Ganzhou City, this dog boy has become a regular visitor here. The Taoist boy on duty has changed round after round, and this boy will come once every three days. Already mixed proficiently.And this young man from the Shen family is also extremely upright, not to mention bringing some homemade shochu for the old Lu Xiu to relieve the old man's alcohol addiction, he would also bring some roe deer and pheasants to satisfy these little Taoist priests. A real treat.

This cultivator can't help the desire to talk, but the cultivators who have achieved a little bit have a deep taboo against these greasy objects, and avoid them, lest they will miss their own practice.

But Lu Xiu's old way is actually an old gourmet in the market.Gou Wa'er brought Qiu Fat's pheasant to visit this time, and from a distance, he saw that Lu Xiu was preparing a red peat charcoal stove with a porcelain cup on it, Gou Wa'er secretly walked over to take a closer look , I saw this old man took a broken cattail fan, sat on the rocking chair and was heating the charcoal stove with a serious look. "I have learned something.

"Mr. Lu, you are just so elegant." Gou Wa'er quietly walked behind the old man, and suddenly made a noise, scaring the old man in the rocking chair, almost throwing himself on the stove.Seeing that the situation was not going well, the young man hurriedly stepped on the rocking chair, just now he didn't let the old man do something out of the fire. Let's say that these Taoists all have the ability to be invulnerable to fire and water, but after all, if they burn their clothes, it's even worse. It is indecent.

"Good boy from the Shen family, the old Taoist almost yelled at you, and something frightened him." The old Taoist kept stroking his chest, but his eyes were still fixed on the porcelain bowl, He looked like he was okay.

Gou Wa'er was curious and asked, "Mr. Lu, what are you cooking? You seem to be a baby." Then he shook the pheasant in his hand in front of Lu Xiu's eyes, "Here, it's just right. The pheasant that has grown fat in autumn is a good thing. The father Zhang next door beat three, and I brought one over, and you can see if you want to stew or roast it."

The old Lu Xiu seemed to be afraid that the dog would covet him, so he blocked his body and said, "It's a basket of pears sent by Mrs. Zhang next door who is begging for blessings and misfortunes. I will distribute them to the younger ones. There will be two pears for each person, and the rest will be pears." This one, I saw that I hadn’t had a serious meal in the past three or two days, so I mixed some rock sugar with the red dates and wolfberries that were drying in the yard, and stewed it on the stove. There are too few things, but I can’t help you. , this time the food is nothing to you, leave this pheasant behind and go.”

Gou Wa'er listened in a funny way, this old Taoist priest has lived to this age but still has a childlike heart, eating alone does not have the same mind as the Taoist priests I have seen in the past, on the contrary, Gou Wa'er and that snack When it comes to wild boar meat, there is no difference between being fussy and virtuous.

The old Taoist looked at the pheasant that Gou Waer was holding in his hand. He was already tsk-tsk-tutting non-stop. He stood up and walked around the pheasant for a few steps. After peeling off the feathers and gutting them, they put them in a pot of broth and rolled them again and again.

"This autumn pheasant is suitable for making a stew. I still have the wild mushrooms and panax notoginseng you brought here. I will cook tomorrow and make a pot of pheasant stew. At that time, Gouwa You also have to do me a favor by coming to my other courtyard and having a meal." The old man talked about eating endlessly.

To say that a few days ago I told Gou Wa'er that when he was in Xiqiao Mountain, he often slipped down the mountain, asked those tenants for some mountain products, brought them back to his cliff, and cooked them carefully. Well, among these spirited mountains and great rivers, these game meats are also full of fragrance, which is different from those ordinary ones.After he learned the skill of controlling a thousand miles of sword with the elders in his family, he would often go to all corners of the world with his sword, and go in and out of various wine shops. .

Just as the old Taoist was obsessed with his past, those gourmet delicacies seemed to appear in front of him again, but he heard a plop in front of him, and when he recovered, he saw the boy with a pheasant kneeling In front of him, before he could react, he heard the young man say: "You son of the Shen family, I beg Mr. Lu to accept me as an apprentice. The boy has admired the journey of immortality for a long time, and every time he thinks of taking advantage of the spirit of the four seasons, he will accompany the six dragons to swim in the world." In the sea, every time I recite these feats, I feel refreshed and happy. If the immortal chief records it, I will be in the Taoist sect, and I must diligently cultivate the treasure book, with the upper body and the heavenly heart, and it will not insult the reputation of my Lingxu Palace both inside and outside the Taoist sect!"

The voice of the youth is sonorous and powerful, and it can be said to be resounding.The old man also stopped the objects at hand, stopped his spitting speech, took the cup placed aside, and drank the tea in the pot in one gulp.Then he said: "I understand the meaning of the boy, but once the old man wears the body of a sin, such a major matter of accepting apprentices cannot be done. But I see that you and my Taoist sect have a very good chance, young man. One day, you should It is a person here, but this opportunity should be elsewhere, not mine."

The young man raised his head and stared blankly at the old Taoist priest who suddenly became serious. He actually looked like a god-man with white hair and childlike face.It's just that the second half of the old man's sentence suddenly broke the image he created before: "Oh, I'm too busy talking, my pear head that has been stewed for an hour..."

Gouwa'er shook his sleeves, stood up from the ground, patted the dust on his hem, put on a playful smile, and said, "Old man, did you commit a crime in Xiqiao Mountain?" What's the matter, I was driven to our backcountry. Otherwise, I would see that those little Taoist boys outside are the little kids who have just started in the door, and they are not much older than me."

"Hey, Lizi is not enough to plan, how do you know? I, Taoist Danyu, became famous since I was young, and I walked alone in the Taoist forest. Now I come to Ganzhou City to petition myself, to open the door of convenience for my Taoism, and to achieve this unworldly merit. If you want to say what kind of guilt is there, people in my Taoist school have committed the crime of changing their fate against the sky since they stepped on the road of exploring the way of heaven. The old Taoist talk is like a river, but there is not a single truth in his mouth. Gouwa has been used to hearing this man's truth for a long time, and he also feels that there is really no merit in it. It will only make his ears callous. He pleaded guilty and left the charity office early.

Since returning home a few days ago, Gouwa'er has been thinking about his future.

It is said that the children of poor families are in charge of the family early. Gouwa'er has helped the family cook mountain products since he was seven or eight years old. Traveling to and from the north, there are so many things to talk about, from the small things that the parents are short-lived, to the big things that the princes and grandsons are divided into warlords, and Gouwaer listens to them a little bit, and it can be said that he has seen all the warmth and coldness of the world.

And by a coincidence, Gouwaer also entered a private school.So this young man started his own life, constantly running around the county town and the mountains, and going back and forth between traffickers and first-year scholars.

Gouwa'er sometimes wants to go back to the time when he didn't know how to read and study, so he could still cover his eyes with his hands and pretend that he couldn't see the vast world. Even the Taoist priest who went there broke into the boy's world in such a rampage.

Gouwaer knows that besides spending his whole life camping in the mountains, he can also be a well-educated teacher in the county town and in the capital. Among the Taoist sects, get up early to eat the wind and drink the dew, watch the ice of the North Sea melt, and see the nine heavens and the coldness of thousands of miles.But the life of the peddlers is so hard. Some people left home when they were young and never returned; Hemp shoes and cloth clothes.

Lying on his own bed that was already not big enough, the young man could see the shining stars in the sky through some gaps in the ceiling, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of pain for his own life.Gouwa'er tossed and turned on the bed for several days, after all he made up his mind, no matter whether it is going to the Daoist sect, or trying to stay in the county town to seek a way out, before he becomes weak, he will finally find a way to get himself out of this situation. As for the opportunity to get out of trouble, which one is it, which one is good.The young man is like a drowning creature, trying his best to grasp the slightest possibility of surviving.

So Gouwa'er thought about it, and finally came to the scene mentioned earlier.
