practice fundamentals

The sun was scorching hot, and steam was steaming from the land, covering the whole Niutou Town in scorching heat.

Even in such a dog days, the bustle of the market in Niutou Town is not any less lively than in the past.People going to the market were sweating profusely, shouting and shouting from children filled the small land, accompanied by the smell of sweat flying wantonly in the air, making the small Niutou Town even more cramped.

The downtown area is full of fireworks, but in such a place full of fireworks, suddenly a person who looks like a banished fairy walks out of the world.

The visitor wore an old but clean Taoist robe, with a bamboo strap on his back, a handsome face, and an aura that strangers should not get close to.Wherever he passed, the villagers hurriedly gave way, because he was a Taoist disciple respected by the current dynasty, with a high status, and he was afraid that the sweat stains on his body would rub against this person and disturb the cleanliness of others.

This person stopped at a rice shop, and several young girls around him happened to come out of the rice shop. When they first saw this person's face, they were all startled, and their cheeks blushed secretly.

The boss rushed to meet him, "Merciful, Taoist priest wants [-] kilograms of polished rice as usual?"

Yi Xuanqing nodded slightly.

The boss turned around to get the rice. The two girls just now couldn't help asking him in a low voice, "Is this person a regular customer of yours?"

"Yes."

The maid next to the girl watched the words and expressions, stuffed a copper plate in the boss's hand, and asked in a low voice, "Where did this priest come from? My young lady has long been interested in the Tao, and she was thinking about going to the Taoist temple to worship and learn the Tao a few days ago!" "

The boss turned his head and saw the girl's blush cheeks, and thought, this is not the heart of Taoism, this is probably the girl's Huaichun!The boss shook his head and thought to himself, this Taoist leader is a man of pure heart and asceticism. I'm afraid that the girl's thoughts will be wasted.He sighed and said, "It's not that I don't talk about it, I really don't know. There have always been few words on this topic, and I have never asked about it."

The Taoist temple where Yi Xuanqing is located is on Niutou Mountain not far from Niutou Town. Niutou Mountain is named Niutou Mountain because it looks like the green bull sitting on the seat of the Taishang Laojun.Their Taoist temple is called Dingxian Temple, and he and his master are the only two people guarding the small Niutou Mountain.

A mountain, a Taoist temple, two practitioners, and the statue of Sanqing sitting firmly on the altar.This is everything about Niutoushan.

After getting the polished rice, Yi Xuanqing bid farewell to the boss, and followed other places.Yi Xuanqing devoted himself to cultivating on Niutou Mountain, and seldom traveled in the world. He went down the mountain once in a while to buy goods.Therefore, every time you go down the mountain, you must return with a full load.

Yi Xuanqing was walking in the bustling streets and alleys, crowded with people, everyone was in a hurry, but he was the only one who walked slowly like an immortal exiled from the clouds.

While walking, he was suddenly hit by a strong force.Then I heard reprimanding voices from around: "Where did the little beggar come from? Get out of here! You ran into this Taoist master! Are you guilty?"

An ordinary person would definitely be knocked down by this strong impact and fall to the ground.Even if it doesn't fall, at least it will shake a lot.After all, the impact of this little beggar is not small.

And Yi Xuanqing is obviously not in the ranks of ordinary people. Although he is not very old, he has a tall and strong physique. In addition to practicing mind skills and martial arts, he will naturally not be affected by a kid who is much shorter than him.

He frowned slightly, and stopped the voices of others spontaneously helping him to teach the little beggar a lesson, but stretched out his hand and gently pushed the dirty little devil in his arms. Although he was pushing, his movements were extremely gentle.However, halfway through, he suddenly changed his hand and grabbed the little ghost's wrist.

"Little boy, no matter what reason you have, it's always wrong to take someone's things."

The little ghost couldn't help but let go of his wrist because of the pain from being pinched, and the money bag containing the silver fell to the ground.The money bag embroidered with Yin Yang and Tai Chi pictures lay on the ground, stained with dust.

People get loot.

The little beggar suddenly became frightened, trembling slightly, looking up at Yi Xuanqing with a pair of deer-like wet eyes, his eyes contained a look of pleading, and his eye sockets were also red.

Obviously he is a thief, but Yi Xuanqing's heart softened when he saw such eyes.

Even if he stole his purse, Zuo You is just a child.The little beggar said weakly: "Master Dao, please let me go. I was forced to do this to make a living. I won't dare to do it again next time."

The little ghost was shorter than Yi Xuanqing by more than a whole head, his face was a little dirty, which concealed his original appearance, but it could be seen that his foundation was not bad, he was about thirteen or fourteen years old.

Among the common people around who witnessed what happened, some were sympathetic, some were resentful, some hoped that Yi Xuanqing would forgive him, and some wanted to beat the thief to death.Even though they thought so, no one stood up to speak for the beggar.After all, it's not worth hitting a Taoist for a beggar.

"Can I trust you?" Yi Xuanqing opened his lips, his voice flat.

"Daozhang, you are a good person, so don't worry about the little one." The beggar hurriedly pushed away, distanced himself from Yi Xuanqing, and knelt down on the ground with a plop.

Yi Xuanqing didn't move at all, but bent down and picked up the money bag on the ground.

However, the next move made the surrounding people instantly stunned. Yi Xuanqing, who picked up the money bag, took out a few copper coins from the money bag, but threw the money bag to the beggar on the ground.

From the beginning to the end, Yi Xuanqing never paid attention to the words and phrases around him, including people pointing at him at this time.Yi Xuanqing held the copper plate, and before leaving, he only said four words: "This is not an example."

The beggar grabbed the money bag Yi Xuanqing gave him with his black muddy hands, stared at Yi Xuanqing's back in a daze, his lips murmured for a long time, but he couldn't say a word until Yi Xuanqing disappeared on the horizon .

Seeing that there was no excitement to watch, the people who were watching dispersed one after another.

The beggar ran all the way into a dilapidated small temple, swept away his cowardly appearance just now, and shouted triumphantly: "I'm back!"

The other beggars in the small temple swarmed up after hearing the words, saying in a hurry: "Boss is back?" "Boss, you were not beaten to death?" and so on.

The boss they talked about was impatient with the noise, and frowned, "Don't make noise, you all only care about whether I was beaten to death or not...you!"

"Boss, I'm really sorry. When the Taoist priest caught you just now, we saw that the situation was not good and left first. We thought about coming back and trying to save you. After all, Taoist priests dare not provoke you these days!" A little girl beggar explained embarrassingly, her white teeth were fully revealed by her smile.

"You're the only one who said slip away so nicely." Tian Xun flicked the girl's forehead with his finger, "Okay, Xiao Yu. I just want to go with that stinky Taoist priest just because he looks so superior." It's just for fun, it has nothing to do with you. I won't blame you if you run away."

Xiaoyu covered her forehead and smiled, then asked with a surprised expression: "What happened? You don't hesitate to get yourself so dirty, you won't get nothing, right?" Other beggars also echoed, including the old beggar inside. They all looked curious.

Tian Xun took out the money bag he put in his clothes, it was the money bag Yi Qingxuan gave him, he tossed it up and down in his hand, curled his lips in disgust and said: "It's not a few taels of silver." Xiao Yu looked at The pattern on the purse, eyes lit up: "Boss, you are really amazing! I didn't expect that you really stole all the purse from the Taoist priest."

"I didn't steal it, it was..." Tian Xun thought of Yi Xuanqing's back, he was supposed to show off his power, but at this moment he felt a little bored, and he didn't know what was wrong.Immediately, he lost the interest in publicizing what he just said, and briefly explained the whole story, saying: "That Taoist priest is quite interesting, and is different from the ordinary old-fashioned old man." When Tian Xun talked about Yi Xuanqing, his eyes were full of Only then did the brilliance emerge again.

Tian Xun's identity at this time, although he is a beggar, even though he is dirty, he is still like a bright diamond.People can't take their eyes off.

Xiao Yu blinked, and said blankly: "I'll boil the bath water for you."

"Well, it will be delivered to my room later." After Tian Xun finished speaking, he went to the yard behind the small temple.While walking, he stretched lazily.

In the eyes of these little beggars, Tian Xun is their boss.Although some of them are older than Tian Xun, no one thinks Tian Xun is a naive kid.

Tian Xun likes to have fun. Although this is a bit childish, Tian Xun has been using his own power to make these weak beggars live a decent life. This is something that many adults cannot do.

It's just that he doesn't like things that are talked about by gods and gods, so he doesn't like Taoist monks.Even if he is a beggar, he is also a diligent and pragmatic beggar. He believes that heaven rewards hard work, but he does not believe in metaphysics.

Yi Xuanqing was walking on the street, and suddenly sneezed.He has always been in good shape, and he rarely has a cold or fever. He was a little unhappy and wondered if he caught a cold because he took a bath in the icy stream water just now?He looked down at his slightly damp clothes again, and thought of the dirty beggar again.

He should have dodged when he bumped into him, but if he dodged, the child would have to be thrown into shit——Yi Xuanqing thought so.Yi Xuanqing thought of the money bag that was sent out, and the belt that only contained salt and vinegar rice on his back, and he had a headache, how to explain to his stingy master when he went back.

But what Yi Xuanqing didn't expect was that after seeing the master, he was interrupted before he could explain to the white-haired and white-browed master.

"Xuanqing, you don't need to say too much, as a teacher, you know it all." Master Baidi stroked his beard, showing a bit of fairy air.

Yi Xuanqing swallowed back the few words he was about to utter just now, he didn't like words in the first place.

"You are missing two things this time, wine, and the lotus flower cake that I love the most." Master Baidi said slowly, with some grievances in his words, frowning and shaking his head slightly: "Wine is for the teacher. Just like poppies, although I know it is poisonous, I love it. I don’t need lotus cakes, but I don’t even have wine.” After speaking, he sighed heavily.

"Master..."

"I know what you want to say, but listen to me first." Master Baidi interrupted Yi Xuanqing again, his expression became serious in an instant.It seems that he has forgotten his grief of not having wine and lotus cakes.

Master Baidi walked slowly in front of Yi Xuanqing, patted Yi Xuanqing on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Xuanqing, you have been a teacher since you were eight years old, and it has been ten years now. In the past ten years , I have never accepted another apprentice. But now, I have found your apprentice for the teacher."

Yi Xuanqing was a little dazed.

There was a gentle breeze blowing beside him, and the green pines and cypresses on Niutou Mountain made a hoarse sound, Yi Xuanqing looked into the distance, feeling inexplicably sad.

Yi Xuanqing clenched his palms slightly, his knuckles turned white, but his face remained expressionless.

"Just after you left, my teacher used six lines to make a fortune teller for you. In your ziwei star, there is a ghostly appearance hitting the sun! You are out today, did you meet anyone?"

Yi Xuanqing suddenly thought of the beggar and nodded.

Bai Didao stroked his goatee and said, "That's right, that's no ordinary little beggar, that's the junior I'm looking for for you."

Yi Xuanqing lowered his eyes, "Master, what have you figured out?"

"Don't leak the secret. It's not too late. You rest overnight and go down the mountain tomorrow to bring your junior brother back to the mountain. By the way, remember to bring wine and lotus cake back. Don't forget this time."

The author has something to say:

Small theater: Yi Xuanqing: I have no money, how can I buy wine and lotus cakes... standing in a daze at the door of the wine shop is difficult.

Liquor shop owner: Does the Taoist chief want to buy wine?

Yi Xuanqing: Yes

Liquor shop owner: As long as you marry my daughter Ruhua, even the liquor shop will be yours, let alone the wine.After all, call the "beautiful as a flower" daughter.

Yi Xuanqing looked at the fat head and big ears, with a matchmaker mole growing a hair on his face, picking up boogers like a flower, walked back like a flower, took a few steps back calmly, turned around and ran away without looking back.

Liquor shop owner: Don't run away, does the Taoist priest not want alcohol?

Yi Xuanqing: I feel that I will never love again, and my understanding of ugliness has been refreshed.
