Laoshan Taoist

Chapter 21: The dean came to the door

Views:

I visited the school for about two hours, and I haven't finished the tour completely. It can be seen how vast the area of the Laoshan School is.

However, Wang Yan already remembered almost all the places he had traveled. Since taking the purple flower that bloomed on the black vine, his memory has greatly improved, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he never forgets it.

Familiar with the venue they need to reach tomorrow and the general environment in the Academy, and finally had a lunch in the dining hall of the Academy, the master and apprentice simply said goodbye and left.

Including other reviewers and guests, some left after visiting, and some who just arrived. It was quite lively to go in and out between the main gates.

Not long after returning to Songfeng Temple, the old Taoist priest was invited by the master to discuss Taoism. When Wang Yan was bored, he simply practiced boxing in the courtyard outside the wing room.

I saw the fist wind whistling, every move and style, faintly have the divine shape of a vicious tiger, fierce and domineering, and extraordinary.

Time passed unknowingly, and Wang Yan didn't know how long he had been practicing. He only felt that the more he practiced, the stronger he became, and the more he practiced, the more he could find a certain feeling. with a special resonance.

"it is good!"

After another set of moves, Wang Yan had not yet come out of this feeling. At this moment, the sound of applause suddenly sounded in the yard.

Wang Yan returned his fists, and looked towards the source of the sound.

I saw a fat old man dressed in a light gray long gown and a Confucian crown, with a kind face and a smile, standing by the courtyard gate.

Wang Yan couldn't help but feel suspicious.

This is the guest room. Currently, there are only two people who are arranged to live in, he and the master.

If the old man was a pilgrim who came to enter the incense, it would be impossible for him to come here, and looking at his dress and temperament, he obviously did not look like a Taoist priest.

If so, what is his identity? Why are you here

Without waiting for Wang Yan to make a move, the old man walked over first, looked at him with a pair of eyes, and suddenly said.

"The little Daoist's punch is really fierce! The tiger is powerful, the old man couldn't help it for a while, didn't he disturb the Daoist?"

With his praise, Wang Yan naturally had no choice but to respond, so he hurriedly gave him a bow and bowed.

"The old gentleman has won the prize. Xiaodao's random practice of boxing is really unsightly! It's the old gentleman, is it the expert here?"

As soon as these words came out, the old man couldn't help but laughed a few times.

"Hahahaha! The old man practiced a few tricks when he was young, and he's not even as good as you! How can he be considered an expert, not to mention that he is old now and can't move anymore. It's really hard time!"

As soon as he sighed, Wang Yan had no choice but to nod his head in agreement.

"The passage of time is a natural state. Why should the old man care, but please cherish the moment and live worthy of your heart."

Hearing this, the old man's eyes lit up obviously.

"Okay! What a worthy one! I didn't expect you to have such an opinion at such a young age. It really is a famous teacher and a master apprentice!"

The old man stroked his beard with one hand, with a hint of satisfaction on his face.

Hearing this, Wang Yan couldn't help but be startled, and noticed that his last sentence, the meaning between the lines, was obviously wrong.

"Sir! Do you know my master?"

Wang Yan tentatively asked.

The old man nodded slightly and then introduced himself.

"The old man's surname is Qiu. He is the dean of the Sheng Academy of Laoshan Academy. Your master must have told you about it!"

He also only saw their reply this morning, and learned that the two lived in this Taoist temple, but because they had to deal with some things at the time, they couldn't leave for a while, and it was only now that they had time to come and explore.

"It turns out that you are Dean Qiu! What a disrespect! Disrespect!"

Knowing the identity of the other party, Wang Yan hurriedly saluted again.

This person's dress is extremely simple, but his body and body are rich. At a glance, he can tell that the food on weekdays is excellent. In addition, he is just talking, and there is no dean's air, which is difficult to think of.

"My master is discussing with Guanzhu. Since the old dean is here, please sit down for a while. The junior will go and invite his old man to come!"

There was a stone table and a stone bench on the side. Wang Yan asked the old man to sit down and was about to leave. However, before he could start, a voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard, and then the old Taoist came in.

"You don't have to go, the teacher already knows! Brother Qiu hasn't seen him for many years, stay safe!"

It turned out that when the old man arrived at the contemplation and said he wanted to find them, there were already disciples in the contemplation to report.

"Hahaha! Brother Yuheng, I haven't seen you for so many years, you are still the same, you haven't changed at all!"

President Qiu got up from the stone bench and strode forward to greet him.

"Wang Yan, what are you still doing, serving tea!"

Wang Yan reacted and immediately went into the house to get the teapot.

The two old people sat opposite each other and had a good chat. In addition to asking each other about the situation in recent years, they also had some matters related to the conference.

Wang Yan stood by and waited, and naturally listened to it.

Today's internal new disciple assessment, after finishing some trivial matters in the morning, he is completely free in the afternoon, so he doesn't have to worry about work.

It was just three rounds of tea, and after explaining the business, although he was still looking for a topic, the old dean's expression darkened unknowingly, and there seemed to be a trace of melancholy between his eyes.

"Brother Qiu! It's the so-called coming to Japan for a long time, to talk about the old and gossip. It's better to stop here! I see Brother Qiu Yintang getting dark, and I think something is going wrong. Dao, it's better to solve it as soon as possible!"

The old Taoist took a sip of tea at this moment, and suddenly came this sentence.

The old dean looked at him, a little surprised at first, but then he was relieved, sighed helplessly, and smiled bitterly.

"I really can't hide anything from you! It's okay!"

After the old man said this, Wang Yan was also amazed. He couldn't help staring at the old dean's forehead for a while. It was so shiny, how could he not see where it was dark

Too! If he can see it, he still needs the teacher to teach him!

"This time, Daoist Brother Yuheng came to attend the conference with a show of honor. In theory, Qiu should have done the best of his friendship with the landlord, but now he has a home and can't go back. If he is neglected, I hope the Daoist brother will not be blamed!"

Dean Qiu had a sad expression on his face, and bowed his hands to express his apology.

"Brother Qiu has something to do, please, but it's okay to say it, no need to be polite!"

The old Taoist was grateful for his help in rebuilding the Taoist temple back then, and forged cause and effect, so he always wanted to find an opportunity in his heart.

And this old dean Qiu really had no choice this time, so he had to use the excuse of inviting him to attend the Scholars Conference to clear up a trouble for himself.

For him, this incident really made him upset, and even the whole family couldn't rest in peace, and now he can't go back to his home.

However, for someone like an old Taoist who has profound Taoism, it is nothing more than a trivial matter.

Therefore, he did not hesitate at the moment, and slowly told his own experiences and difficulties.
