Little Taoist

There is a mountain range about thirty miles outside Qingshan City, which stretches and undulates all the way to the north. I don't know when it came into being, and I don't know when it will disappear.Over the years, only a few of the main peaks that can be seen have been given mountain names, and the rest have no correct names to be found in people's mouths or in geographical records.

There is such a small hill, towering in the corner, which has been uninhabited for many years, and no one knows that there is a mud house hidden on the hillside, and two people live in it.

"Go down the mountain tomorrow, and head east at the foot of the mountain," a young man's voice came from the wooden house, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a young voice.

"Master I know, when you get to the foot of the mountain, walk another [-] miles to the east, and when you reach the boundary marker, walk seven or eight miles south and you will see the city gate." The young man's voice was as cool as if it had been fished out of a spring in this midsummer It was terrific, the texture was unbelievably cold, but fortunately his tone was gentle, "You have told me several times in the past few days."

Following the sound and looking in, there were two figures, one tall and one short, in the room.The tall one is arranging things, and the short one is standing on the side, standing upright.

"Qing Rang, don't think I'm wordy," the young man turned his head, his face didn't look more than 25 or [-], but his tone was full of airs, "I don't know if I will come back after I leave, even if I can come back I don't know how many years later, in the future, you will take care of yourself."

It turned out that the young man's name was Qing Rang, and he looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a slightly handsome outline between his brows and eyes, and a pair of bright and translucent eyes that people can't forget at a glance.He was dressed in a plain robe, his appearance was ancient, but he had a fairy-like appearance at such a young age, and his complexion was as fair as a jade man.

The master who raised him since he was a child is leaving, and Qing Rang is also very reluctant when it comes to parting. He nodded vigorously to suppress the soreness of his nose, "Well, I know everything about Master."

The young man handed him the package he had packed in his hands, sighed a little, and blamed himself: "It's also my fault, I liked to make trouble for people a few years ago, and I forgot some things after a fight, otherwise The names and addresses of your biological parents can be clearly told to you, so you won’t go down the mountain like a fly without a head now.”

"It doesn't matter, Master," Qing Rang said calmly, "I practice with all my heart, and I am not afraid of bad people."

The young man smiled triumphantly, "You don't care whose apprentice you are," he was about to brag, but suddenly he had forgotten whether he had his own name in the human world, so he stopped in embarrassment, "Then what, In short, you remember, you can’t harm people for no reason, and you can’t make money.”

The young man put his hands behind his back, his chest puffed up, and he looked upright with a breeze in his sleeves.

When the young man mentioned Tu Cai, he thought of something, turned a corner and brought out a big box from the house.This box is clearly remembered, since he can remember it has been placed in the corner of the house, although Master never touches it, but it is always spotless.He guessed that this might be a treasure or a secret method saved by the master.There is only such a big room in the room, except for the two beds for him and the master, there is really no extra space at all. How can the things put there be unimportant?So it's not surprising that Qingrang made a safe guess.

But who would want to.

"All the things in this Qiankun box are given to you now, and you will remember to put them into the Qiankun bag later." The young man opened the lid of the box with a bang, and the jewels and money shining with gold and silver light piled up like a bottomless pit. Extend down.

Qingrang looked at the money and then at his master who had nothing in his sleeves.

"It's all accumulated when I traveled to the north and south in my early years to save people. It's not a fortune." The young man forcefully explained.

But he saw that his apprentice didn't believe it very much, so he turned his face away and simply admitted, "We are not real Bodhisattvas, I want to make this clear to you, and when you go down the mountain, don't be a foolish person. Eat and drink, take money when you need it, meet beauty, "

The young man who came over patted the little apprentice on the shoulder, and quietly leaned over and said in a low voice: "Don't stop at nothing."

There was a rumble outside like thunder, the young man breathed a sigh of relief, and concluded his instructions: "In short, all the things in this house are left to you, and you can take whatever you want. On the way You must not delay, go to Qingshan City to find your family members, they will naturally know how to make up for your shortcomings."

"I'll go first." The young man walked to the door in two steps, turned his head to take a last look at Qing Rang, and then walked into the rainstorm deep in the mountain forest without looking back, but he had already walked a hundred feet away in three or five steps.

Qing Rang stood at the door for a while, and heard the thunder crackling in the distance.After a while, he picked up his baggage and Qiankun bag, and went down the mountain in the opposite direction.

The next day, at the gate of Qingshan City.

"It's weird, I heard that there were ghosts in the west of the city last night. How did this month start to be so uneventful?"

Just a few steps from the city gate, there are vendors in the morning market along the street. Pedestrians are intertwined on the road. They usually talk about different topics, but today they all fall on ghosts and ghosts.

"I heard that the fierce ghost is very fierce and scared people to death. I feel sorry for the big girl of the Li family in the west of the city."

"This is not the first one, it's the second one in five days. When did Qingshan City suffer from such a crime?"

This is a simple and decisive statement, and an old man interrupted after hearing the words: "Oh, that is, you are young, and you have undergone abnormal changes 20 years ago and 16 years ago, and you even died a dozen times a month. .”

"So scary?" Everyone who heard it was surprised, and asked with some trepidation: "Then how did you solve the disaster?"

"Well, it seems that a Taoist priest has come."

At the same time, a questioning voice came from a courtyard of Xu's family, a big family in the city, "Taoist?"

The flowers and plants in the courtyard are flourishing and well-maintained, creating a beautiful scene.There were two little girls standing in the corridor, hesitating and not daring to move forward, their heads were almost down to their chests, and they couldn't even lift them up.

A young man in Chinese clothes stood at the door of the main house. He had extremely handsome features, but his expression was displeased. At this time, his hands were behind his back impatiently.

He continued the previous two words and said: "What Taoist priest, mother, don't do these weird things all day long. I don't believe in these things. Now the family's business is about to be busy, so don't make trouble."

The middle-aged woman whom he called his mother chased after her, with two strings of thick agarwood beads hanging in her hand, her expression hurried, "You don't know the danger, the Taoist priest said it back then, and now you have a lot of blood on your body." The spell is going to be useless, and you need to get rid of the disaster quickly."

The young man's name is Xu Ping, he is the only son of the Xu family, he suffered from many illnesses when he was young, and he was still a sick child when he was five years old.The family prayed to gods and worshiped Buddha and exhausted all means, until a Taoist priest came from the city one day, came to the door and put a spell on the Xu family, saying that it would last for 15 years, and then he would find another way to solve the disaster.At first the Xu family still didn't believe it, but they couldn't imagine that after half a month Xu Ping's health improved, and he was also smart, so the Xu family didn't dare to neglect what the Taoist said, and hired a skilled craftsman to put the spell into it. into a longevity lock, which is still hanging around Xu Ping's neck.

To say that Xu Ping has shown his sharpness day by day over the years, although he grew up in the palm of his family, he is not spoiled in the slightest.Being capable of writing and martial arts, the Xu family's originally mediocre family business has been flourishing, and it has made a name for itself in the entire southern part of the state of Jin.But what Xu Ping is most famous for is not this, but the vigor that exudes from his whole body, which can chill the heart of Renda Xia Tian.

"Nonsense." Xu Ping laughed angrily at his mother's nagging appearance. He flicked his sleeves, barely holding his temper, "I'm strong and strong, how can I solve the disaster?"

Xu Wang, who was usually obedient to him, was rarely firm. She took a step back after thinking about it and said, "You don't need a Taoist priest, you go and marry your cousin back."

Xu Ping took a big step back in shock, "What cousin, where did I come from?"

The family members of the Xu family are thin, and even their relatives are not prosperous, and the number of people of the same generation can be counted on one hand.He only remembered that he had a cousin, and a cousin popped out of which rock?

Mrs. Xu Wang grabbed Xu Ping and explained to him in detail: "Why did you forget that when you were young, you went to your cousin's house and ate her full moon wine. Didn't you say that your little cousin was very beautiful?"

Xu Ping frowned, "Where do I remember that? Besides, I met my cousin like that once, but I never saw her again. It doesn't mean it's true if you say it's male or female. It would be absurd for me to marry her."

Although my niece, Xu Wang, really hasn't seen each other since the full moon banquet, Xu Ping's words are not unreasonable, but her younger sister is also married to a decent family, and the right family is justified.Furthermore, for the sake of the safety of his son, Xu Wang naturally doesn't care about anything.

Mrs. Xu recalled what Taoist priests told her to get married more than ten years ago, "It doesn't matter if your cousin is a man or a woman, you have to marry me back if she is a man."

Xu Ping had one head and two big heads, and couldn't continue to argue with Xu Wang's family, so he found an excuse for business and went out for a walk.

At the entrance of the city gate, Qing Rang looked up at the large characters "Qingshan City" hanging above the city gate.

Before he could enter the city, the ghostly aura suddenly wound up from the hem of his clothes, and scratched his palm coldly.
