"It's a slingshot." Xiao Yuyou said cheerfully to Xiaodong, "It was also given to me by others, but it's not suitable for me to play slingshots at my age."
A beard is really not suitable.
But Xiaodong felt that he was already in his teens, and he would be in his twenties if he had to round it up. Xiao Yuyou gave him this, did he think he was still a child of three or five years old
"This slingshot can be regarded as a small magic weapon," Xiao Yuyou said, "The man who forged the slingshot named the slingshot 'Hundred Shots, Hundred Hit'."
"The name..."
Xiaodong took the slingshot out of the bag, it was a little heavier than ordinary slingshots, but he didn't see anything special about it.
"I've tried this, and it really means hitting anywhere. You can also catch fish when you shoot birds and rabbits!" Xiao Yuyou said: "But no matter how powerful you are, you can't hit it. Even if you hit it, you can't kill it if you don't have enough energy."
It really can only relieve boredom and coax the children to play.
Although Xiaodong felt that he was past the age of playing with a slingshot, he would not need to give this to himself, but there were disciples younger than him on the mountain, so it was fine to take this home as a gift.
Xiao Yuyou picked up the pot and poured tea for the two of them, and said with a smile: "Master Xie is really generous, and the rare good tea is served in this third-class guest room. The place to live is spacious, and there are three meals a day with wine and meat. Said Seriously, if I live with such good food and drink every day, I don’t want to practice Taoism anymore.”
A middle-aged man sitting not far away echoed with a smile: "That's right. People who practice Taoism eat wind and drink dew, and their lives are miserable. If I had to choose, I would rather live a good life for decades Days, don't suffer that crime."
Xiaodong was happy.
Some people think that cultivating the Tao is the most beautiful thing in the world, while others think it is a hard job to suffer.
This is not surprising, everyone has his own aspirations. It's like some people have to eat meat every day, and they don't like meat. There are also people who vomit when they smell the smell of meat, and find it unbearable to be fishy and smelly.
From Xiaodong's point of view, as long as it doesn't harm others, it doesn't matter what kind of life people choose.
"Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for three years, right? More than two years, nearly three years." Xiao Yuyou said, "I still have to thank you for what happened last time. If you hadn't reminded me, I must have been in a bad situation." Dang, maybe my little life will be lost."
Xiaodong doesn't know what to do, but he never tires of listening to others praising senior brother, and his heart is full of joy.
"It's not a big deal, don't worry about it."
"It's not a big deal to you, but it's a big deal to me. It's not right, I owe you one more time. Last time I said I owe you a drink, but now it seems that drinking is not enough. By the way, last time you asked I've been paying attention to my affairs, and you're right."
He took out another crumpled note from his sleeve, Mo Chen took it and nodded to him: "Thank you very much."
"Hey, some trivial things are not worth mentioning. I also heard that the disciples of Huiliu Mountain bought red silk and other things at the foot of the mountain a few days ago, but what happy event is there on the mountain? Is it because the master Li Zhenren has accepted a new disciple? "
Uh, not really...
Who said that red silk should be used for recruiting apprentices? Taking Xiaodong's own experience as an example, he didn't use such things as red silk when he was apprenticed to his master.
Anyway, the last time they bought things like red silk on the mountain was not for the purpose of recruiting apprentices.
Mo Chen said naturally: "It's my family teacher who has become a Taoist couple, so I celebrated it."
Xiao Yuyou was stunned: "Li... Master Li, have you become a Taoist couple?" It seemed like he was talking in his sleep. But he quickly came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "Oh, what a happy event. Brother Mo, you should tell me in advance, I will also back up Erli."
"My teacher doesn't want to publicize it, and he didn't send out postings, and he didn't accept congratulatory gifts. Brother Xiao, it's good that you know it in your heart."
Xiaodong listened quietly at the side, and he didn't need to look carefully to see that the situation of this well-informed "inquiry" seemed to be passable. Wearing a satin gown, he looked like a rich man in business. But looking at the collar, cuffs, and the muddy shoes protruding from the hem, it's obvious that this man is informal.
The back of the neck suddenly felt uncomfortable, like a thorn on the back.
Xiaodong closed his eyes and was in a trance for a moment.
The scene of the whole side hall unfolded in his mind like a picture scroll in an instant. The two people sitting near the door were drinking, and there were three people sitting at the next table. One was old and the other two were younger. From their looks, they should be a family. Further back is a female guest, her hair wrapped in a gray cloth handkerchief, and a conspicuous scar on her face.
further back—
Xiaodong opened his eyes.
He didn't see that person clearly, as if he suddenly woke up from a dream when his eyes were about to turn away.
But he knew who that person was, he didn't need to see it, he just knew it.
Mo Chen had already got up to bid farewell to Xiao Yuyou, Xiao Yuyou said: "The matter here is over, I plan to go to the southwest for a while, maybe I won't come back for a few years."
Mo Chen only said: "Take care."
Many times, people will never see each other again once they part, and it is difficult to communicate with each other. They don't know where the other person is, or even if he is still alive in this world.
But people who practice the Tao don't take parting, life and death too seriously. Even if this was the last time they met, both Mo Chen and Xiao Yuyou seemed open-minded.
Xiaodong tugged Mo Chen's sleeve, motioning him to look at the person behind him.
That is Chen Jingzhi.
Xiaodong is sure that he did not admit the wrong person.
He just didn't expect that Chen Jingzhi would appear so close to them.
This person never does anything bad. As long as it is good for himself, this person can do all kinds of bad things.
What are the advantages of Xiejiazhuang to attract him
Xiaodong glanced at senior brother.
Something seemed wrong to him.
Master Xie is a person who has given up his way a long time ago. Xiejiazhuang has no power and wealth, but only a warm spring, which is good for healing, but it is not a panacea after all. Besides, there should not be many people who know about it. This time, thanking the owner for the joy of having a baby, there are too many congratulatory guests, which is very abnormal.
When the matter of killing and seizing posts happened, Senior Sister Linglong happened to be here at this time, and even Chen Jingzhi also came to Xiejiazhuang at this time.
Why are so many people here? Can't it all be for the warm spring
There must be other reasons.
Not knowing if he sensed the crisis, Chen Jingzhi also stood up and went out through the side door.
Xiaodong turned her head and saw his profile.
Chen Jingzhi didn't appear in his true colors, even people who knew him well in the past would definitely not be able to tell the difference. This man was stout, his eyebrows, beard and hair were thick and stiff, covering most of his face, and he had an ordinary iron sword pinned to his waist. (to be continued)
