I looked hopefully at the unknown Taoist priest, hoping that he could ease. The unknown Taoist priest began to remain silent again, but he is now like this, making me feel that the speculations of the gods and me should be correct.
Daoist Jiubian did not die. The empty tomb had already explained everything. He must be alive, but he didn't know where he was.
When I noticed this, I made up my mind, no matter what way I tried, I should ask the unknown Taoist priest about the reason.
The unknown Taoist thought for a while, then looked up at me, and said, "It seems that if I don't give you an explanation, you won't leave."
"I just hope it will be done." I was anxious to die, like a person who was about to starve to death, eagerly asking others where to eat.
"You come with me."
I was in ecstasy. The current behavior of the unknown Taoist priest may indicate that he has softened his heart.
I immediately followed the unknown Taoist priest and walked to the right from the main hall. There are more than a dozen rooms in Xuankongguan. After the fortune teller and I came here, we haven't really gone in, and we are not familiar with the situation here. The unknown Taoist took me for a while, and came to a small hut at the corner of the corner.
"Wait here for a while." The unknown Taoist turned around and said to me, then opened the door of the house.
It was dark in the cabin, but it could be seen that it was a bedroom. My heart was beating violently. After a long time, the old road of the nine changes was still in the air, but outsiders couldn't get in, so I didn't know that he was guilty of death.
I waited anxiously outside the door, and at the same time I was wondering, what should I ask after I saw the Old Path of the Nine Changes.
After thinking about it, I simply didn't want to think about it. Anyway, the Nine Changed Old Way must know about this matter. I just need to ask bluntly.
I waited outside for almost a quarter and a half, but the door creaked and was pushed open again.
"Come in." The unknown Taoist beckoned to me and turned to light a lamp.
When the oil lamp came up, the light in the room became brighter. As soon as I entered the room, I looked back and forth, wanting to see where the old road of the nine changes was.
The cabin is very small, with only a small bed and a small table. The unknown Taoist sat down at the table. I looked at it for a while, and even the corners, but I didn't see the Nine Changes Old Tao.
"sit down."
I don't know what kind of medicine the unknown Taoist priest sells in the gourd, so I can only sit opposite him.
"That..." I couldn't help it a bit, and asked carefully: "Nine Changed Daoist, where is he?"
The unknown Taoist suddenly stopped talking. I was not only nervous, but also a little confused, not knowing what his intentions were.
"The snow in that winter was really heavy." The unknown Taoist said: "Snow flakes like goose feathers, standing outside for a while, the body is covered with snow, and the same is true in your village."
Although the nameless Taoist said that there is no head and no tail, it sounds inexplicable, but when I heard what he said at this moment, I immediately distinguished that what he said was actually the scene when things happened back then.
"You know... and you know this too?"
"How could I not know?"
"Did the Nine Changed Daoist tell you? Where is the Nine Changed Daoist? Can you ask him to come out and see you?" I still want to talk directly to the Nine Changed Dao, after all, the Nine Changed Dao is the person involved.
Only he understands the causes and consequences of.
I found that as long as I mentioned these, the unknown Taoist priest seemed to be silent, making me anxious.
However, this time, he was silent for only a moment, then he raised his head again and looked at me.
The oil lamp on the table was burning, and I suddenly found that the face of the unknown Taoist priest was distorted. The feeling was very, very weird, as if there was something hidden under his flesh and he was constantly twisting.
His face kept distorting, and even his facial features seemed to start to move. I stood upright with hairs on my body and almost got up from the chair.
The unknown Taoist priest at this moment looked so scary.
When his face was distorted, the whole person was totally unrecognizable, but the face of the unknown Taoist only distorted a few times and then stopped. Once I stopped, I felt very uncomfortable.
The face of the unknown Taoist priest seemed to have completely changed, completely different from the previous appearance. Looking at it as if I had changed, it made me confused and horrified.
"Do you see me?"
I really don't know what to say, and my mind is a little messy, but with a flash of lightning in my chaotic mind, I suddenly remembered that the appearance of an unknown Taoist priest can be changed. What does this mean
This shows that he doesn't want people to see his true face. The way he usually shows others is used to disguise. Maybe only at this time, what he showed was the real appearance.
But why did the unknown Taoist priest let me know his true colors? What does he want to express
"The snow that year was really too big, it was freezing cold..."
I did not answer, he seemed to mutter to himself, repeating that the snow was very heavy that year.
I saw his true face, and now I think about him, and I have an idea in my heart.
He knew the situation back then, so he might have experienced it personally. Thinking about it, I was suddenly stunned, because I could feel the endless vicissitudes of life in the eyes of the nameless Taoist priest.
It seems to have seen everything in the world, the vicissitudes of human feelings, and people who have no experience will never have such a look. But he looked like he was in his twenties, so what kind of experience did he come from
Could it be...
An idea spread uncontrollably in my heart. I don't know what I think. I think, this unknown Taoist priest, is it a Taoist of the Nine Changes
"Are you?" I hesitated, but I was not in the mood to talk nonsense to the other party: "You are the leader of the Nine Changes?"
"You can think of this and recognize me, you are very smart." The unknown Taoist nodded slightly, and said: "If someone else comes to the Taoist Jiuchang, I won't show up, but you are here, I think, After all, there must be an explanation."
The unknown Taoist confessed all at once. He had personally experienced the things that year and knew that I was the baby in the swaddling baby he sent out. Right and wrong, he wanted to give me an explanation.
Thinking of this, I hardly had any doubts, except that the age of the unknown Taoist priest was much worse than that of the Jiubian Taoist. How could an old man with gray hair become so young
At this moment, I suddenly thought of Qingluo again. Qingluo and I didn’t get along for long or short time. We met and were separated due to various accidents. Three times before and after, every time I saw her, I felt that she seemed to be young.
many.
At that time, I thought it was Cheongna who ate well and slept well, coupled with good maintenance, so she looked young. But by comparing it now, I feel that it is not that Qingluo is well maintained. The reason why she looks young is because she is really young.
Many memories came to mind at this time. But for a while, I couldn't figure it out. I raised my head and looked at the Daoist Jiuchang in front of me, and said, "Daoist, can you tell me about the things that happened back then?"
"Let’s start from the beginning." The Taoist Jiubian turned on the oil lamp on the table and said: "If you miss something, I’m afraid you won’t understand it. For more than 20 years, I’ve been thinking about it all the time. There must be an end. Sometimes, I’m still looking forward to the child who was sent away that year, can ask me."
I probably know the feelings in the heart of the Nine Changed Daoists. Some things are always held in their hearts and can be held for a lifetime, but that feeling is actually very uncomfortable. You can't tell people, you can't tell people, no one knows what they are. Think, no one can really understand oneself.
After the Taoist Nine Changes had finished speaking, he began to tell me about that year. It was more than 20 years ago, but he still remembered it very clearly.
The Taoist Jiubian has already entered the Taoist school when he was young, has learned a lot of things, and has also studied a lot of miscellaneous methods. That kind of Nine Change Silkworm was cultivated by his every possible means. Not only that, but the Nine Change Taoists have also learned arithmetic, and they are very accurate.
When the Taoist Jiubian was in his seventies, he had a divination for himself, and he calculated that he still had twenty years of life. The end of Yangshou is equal to dissipating in this world forever. Daoist Nine Changed is a bit unwilling, not because of his bitter expectations and reluctance to die, but he thinks there are still many interesting things in this world that he has not studied before.
Therefore, the Taoist Jiubian made a plan to wander around, walk around, take a look, and by the way, he can also seek out the legendary method of immortality.
The Taoist Jiubian left here from Xuankongguan, wandering around for half a year, basically still near the river beach, not far away. Once, he took a boat south, but in the middle of the journey, the boatman suddenly fell ill. Dao Jiu Bian couldn't do anything, so he could only get off the boat and walk temporarily. He wanted to wait until dawn.
It was a very deserted road. Taoist Jiubian thought that he would still find a boat the next day, so he didn't stay away. He walked along the river beach for a while, then found a place to take a rest and wait until dawn before leaving.
Daoist Nine Changed is absolutely not afraid of any evil things, but after he found a place to stay, he suddenly felt uneasy, as if he was flustered, but couldn't tell the reason.
Nine Bian Taoists have practiced for so many years, and although they have not truly become immortals, they are already quite peaceful, and they rarely experience the current panic and anxiety. His sleepiness disappeared all at once, and he couldn't help but glance around.
Immediately, the Taoist Jiubian saw a boat. The boat floated down from upstream, and there was a person on board. The eyes of the Taoist Nine Changed are very good, even though they are old, their eyes are better than those of young people.
The boat was getting closer and closer, and the Taoist Jiubian squinted his eyes to see that the boat was an old man, probably a little older than him, and his white hair was constantly flying in the river breeze.
