Chapter 560 Purpose
There have been visitors to Mr. Chao’s house since the morning. Similarly, visitors have also come to the place where old man Shan Weng cleans himself.
The old man lives in seclusion in the Hermit Valley in Xiaowutai. The Hermit Valley is surrounded by peaks. The outer peaks are surrounded by mountains. The inner mountains are beautiful, with misty clouds and mist in spring, green waves in summer, golden autumn and golden valley in winter. Wrapped in silver, the scenery is picturesque in all seasons.
The place has outstanding people. From ancient times to the present, Hermit Valley has been a place of spiritual cultivation for hermits. Its reputation is not as famous as Zhongnan Mountain, but it is a favorite place for true hermits who are indifferent to fame and fortune. In today's era of rapid technological advancement, there are dozens of monks living in seclusion in the Hermitage Valley.
The residences of hermits may be natural caves, houses made of grass, earth made of earth, or stones built as walls. Various huts are scattered in the deep valleys and forests. , weaving a natural and magnificent tapestry.
The place where Old Man Shanweng retreats is halfway up a mountain. It is surrounded by cliffs on three sides. It was also the residence of hermits a long time ago. A path with only one foot on the ground climbed over the cliffs to reach the place of residence. , drinking water must be extracted from mountain streams between the peaks about two miles apart.
There are four huts in total, with stone walls, mud coating on the inside, and bark and grass roofs. The land where the houses are built is less than 200 square meters wide, and the owner also built stone concrete around and around the house. Qi, planting vegetables and melons.
Sect leader Qian led the little Taoist boy to walk leisurely along the cliff path. Some places on the path require bending down to get through, and some places require you to stick to the stone wall to imitate the walking of a gecko. There are several places that are extremely dangerous.
Climb along the path to the mountainside, and walk along a dangerous road to reach the stone house on the mountainside. The old mountain man in blue robes stands in front of the house, looking at the old man and the young man in blue robes. Coming up, he suddenly felt speechless: "Senior Brother, why did you come back again?"
He also felt powerless towards his senior brother, who traveled around for half a month. He came to visit him in Xiaowutai. The senior brother tasted tea and drank wine and watched the mountain moon for more than half a month. A few days ago, the senior brother went to Beijing to give a gift to a little girl. He thought that the senior brother would return to the sect after entering Beijing, but he never I think he came back to him again.
"Senior brother misses me so much that I want to come and spend some time with him again. It really hurts my heart that I don't like my visit." Qian Sect Leader held the Buddha's dust in his arms, passing through the sky like light clouds, drifting across the sky. In front of his junior brother.
The trail boy carrying a big backpack fell behind and walked slowly and leisurely.
"Senior brother, it's not that I miss my junior brother, but I still have something to do and I'm reluctant to leave." Zhong Liyu flicked his sleeves, turned back to the stone house, moved out a small table and a long stool and placed them in the open space in front of the house. , went to the cooking area to fetch the small clay stove and teapot, and then went to get the tea set.
The sun has shone on the earth, just halfway up the mountain. The mountains and mountains are green, the sun is warm and clear, and the sun is shining.Drinking tea is undoubtedly a beautiful thing in the world.
Qian Sect Master sat down with a smile, and the little Taoist boy walked to the stone house, saluted his uncle first, then sent things into the hall, took out the fruits he carried and washed them, and went to the kitchen to get a bamboo basket. Pack it up and take it outside, sit down and boil water for tea.
A pair of brothers sitting in the sun, drinking tea brewed by a Taoist boy, leisurely enjoying the sunshine and the mountain breeze, feeling comfortable and relaxed.
"Senior brother, what are you doing here?" Zhong Liyu didn't believe that his senior brother was really just here to enjoy the mountains and rivers.
“Junior brother, I went to send congratulations yesterday, but I didn’t see my nephew. He is not in the capital either?”
“Xiao Longbao once said that he would accompany the little girl to search in May. The medicinal materials must be with the little girl. Senior brother, why did you ask about your nephew's arrival? Do you want to give him a greeting gift? Senior brother asks for a greeting gift because he is afraid that I will not agree with you as a disciple, or that my greeting gift is too light."
"Senior brother has always been stingy."
"How often do senior brothers stingy? Passed? When the nephew comes back to greet the senior brother, the senior brother, as a senior uncle, naturally has to give a greeting gift."
"Senior brother has never been generous, but this time the congratulations to the little girl may be Be more generous. After all, being too stingy will lose the face of the sect, not the face of the senior brother alone."
"Senior brother is so insignificant in the eyes of the junior brother. Senior brother, I am very sad."
“If you are sad and heartbroken, go get some batter and paste it on it.”
“Junior brother is still so ruthless, always hitting me, senior brother.”
“ Senior brother, let’s get down to business. If you don’t talk about anything else, my elder brother and father will come by the afternoon at the latest, and we senior brothers may not have time to talk about trivial matters in the sect.”
“Guess The head of the Zhongli family was expected to come, so senior brother came to Xiaowutai yesterday and got a head start today." Qian Sect Master's peaceful face exuded brilliance, and his smile was particularly complacent: "I don't have anything big to do, I just came back to stay for a few days. , when the little girl returns to Beijing, I hope to meet alone. By the way, I would like to say that your senior brother is getting older and wants to hand over the position of head to the younger generation. You can also help me examine which disciple is most suitable for the position of head."
"Senior brother, what kind of blow did you receive at the little girl's birthday party? So you have to see the little girl?" Zhong Liyu's first thought was that the head brother must have been hit, so he decided to He lost the position of head to the younger generation, and he felt more at ease.
"I didn't suffer any shock. I just found that among the guests in the hall, Penglai Immortal Master was still carrying a big burden like me. The other old heads of the ancient cultivator family had retired from the Qing cultivator position, and the younger ones were The next generation will have more leisure, senior brotherI also want to be an idle cloud and wild crane. "
"It turns out that the island owner of Penglai Immortal Island has also come. Penglai Immortal Island is isolated from the world, and the island owner personally left the island. It can be seen that Immortal Island also attaches great importance to the birth of the immortal doctor sect. "
"This is natural, just like our sect. Our sect has been hidden from the world for hundreds of years and has not been involved in the secular world. This time, the leader of our sect also personally took action, which fully shows the importance of the immortal medical disciples. "
"Brother, what else are you hiding? It stands to reason that this sect and Xiandao are one of the most hidden sects in the world and one of the oldest sects. It is enough to send disciples to send congratulations. "
"More than a hundred years ago, the ground was full of wars. Similarly, the monks behind the scenes were also in smoke. At that time, the domestic and foreign monks fought to the death, both sides suffered losses, and the vitality of both sides was severely damaged. Therefore, for more than a hundred years, the Recuperating and recuperating, there are no disputes for the time being. In recent years, the alien cultivators have committed crimes. It is not predicted that there will be another fight in thirty years. The rebirth of the Immortal Medical Sect is an added advantage for the Chinese monks, but it is not so good for the alien cultivators. is the biggest obstacle, and the different cultivators will not tolerate her. I came out this time just to meet with the Immortal Medical Sect in person. Firstly, I asked her to be careful to protect herself. Secondly, I also hope that the Immortal Medical Sect can refine some elixirs for our sect. , to prepare early.
In addition, junior brother should also have heard that many elders of the ancient cultivator family died in the great melee a hundred years ago. As far as I know, the husband of the current owner of Immortal Island lost his meridians in that battle. , with only one breath left, the fairy island was frozen with an ice coffin. The Penglai fairy master has been looking for elixirs, hoping to save her husband.
The owner of Xiandao Island must have invited the immortal doctor to go to Xiandao for medical treatment. I also want to know whether the little girl can bring people back to life, so I must stay in Beijing to wait for the little girl. return. "
"Senior brother, you win, you can stay here as long as you like. "The senior brother said a lot, just wanting to stay and wait for the little girl to return to Beijing for an appointment.
"Senior brother knows that the junior brother understands the righteousness and will not drive the senior brother away. "Qian Sect Master happily clapped his hands. His junior brother was too serious and always needed to be teased before he spoke. It was not fun at all.
Zhong Liyu ignored him directly. He was surprised that the master was How could such a serious and rigorous person receive such a lively disciple from his senior brother? Probably because his senior brother is too good at pretending. He behaves like a gentleman in front of others, but in private he is just a fool who is seeking death.
The little Taoist boy was accustomed to the conversation between Men and his great uncle. He brewed two pots of tea, carried buckets to the mountain stream to fetch water, came back to water the vegetables, cleaned the kitchen, and cooked at almost noon.
Lotus Authentic Being a Confucian and Taoist sect, meat and vegetables are not taboo. At noon, the Taoist boy cooked braised fish, one eggplant, and one pot knives. It was simple, but as comfortable as the breeze and white clouds.
In the middle of the afternoon, Zhongli Yunling and Zhongli Jing, the parents of Zhongli's hometown, each took a personal guard to climb the mountain.waist stone house, visit the owner.
At that time, the sun was warm, and Master Qian was lying on the clothes-drying rope in the stone house to bask in the sun. His robes were swaying in the wind, as if he was about to fly away; the old man sitting in the open space in front of the house, Prepare tea and other family members.
When the Zhong family and his son climbed the mountainside, Zhongli Yu went to the intersection to greet his father and saluted his father: "Ayu has met my father and the head of the family."
Zhongli Yunling His beard and hair were all white. When he saw his youngest son, he nodded and said only one word "free".
"Fourth, I haven't seen you for many years, but you still have the same old temper." Zhongli Jing supported his younger brother on behalf of his father and patted his shoulder: "You are still the most leisurely, so you look younger than all the brothers. ”
Follow the old family master and the family master’s bodyguard to say hello to the fourth master.
Zhong Liyu received the gift of a guard, supported his father with one hand, and held his brother's hand with the other to go to the stone house.
Qian Sect Master floated down, holding the Buddha dust in his hand, and greeted with a smile: "Old Master Zhongli, I haven't seen you for many years. Your beauty has not changed, and your majesty is still strong."
"After more than sixty years of separation, how are you doing with Master Qian?" Zhongli Yunling bowed his hand in return. Master Qian is the head of the ancient sect and is more famous than the Guxiu family. Even if his youngest son and Qian are The sect leader is a senior brother, and he doesn't dare to treat sect leader Qian as a junior.
"Toofel, Shang Jian, Zhongli's hometown master invites -"
"Qian's master invites -"
The two of them greeted each other politely and sat down. .
The Zhongli brothers and the guards all sat down first. Zhongli Yu poured the tea himself. After drinking the tea, Qian Sect Leader took the Taoist boy halfway down the mountain to go fishing in the river, and asked Zhongli's father, son and brothers to say goodbye. talk.
Zhongli Yu has not returned to Zhongli’s home for twenty years. When asked about the current situation of his family members, whether alive or dead, he inevitably laments the impermanence of the world. He did not comment on Zhongli’s next young master. After he entered the Lotus True Sect, for him, the Zhongli family was a secular family, so it was not convenient for him to get involved in too many Zhongli family affairs.
Zhongli Yunling asked about his disciple Sun Yanxing. Hearing that he had not returned from his trip, he did not ask where he had gone and only talked about his daily routine.
Zhong Liyu knew that his father and brother would probably stay for a few days, so they were accommodated in the guest room, a four-room stone house, which was a bit crowded and could barely accommodate them.
Zhongli, his son and Sect Master Qian settled down with peace of mind, waiting leisurely for the little girl to return to Beijing.
