Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 314 313. Please Sleep
Li Shilang wanted to leave the city.

Not to mention that the city gate is closed, even if the city gate is on fire, the soldiers have to put out the fire immediately and send this adult out.

There was no need to report, the city gate was opened, and the soldiers guarding the gate watched the servant, who was riding a horse and carrying a box, leave the city, and several trembling people pulled the mechanism together to close the gate.

Fast horse all the way.

At the foot of Fragrant Hills.

It snowed during the day, and walking along this road, she found that there was a row of hoof prints opposite to her own.

Extending all the way, it starts from Xiangshan.

Didn't stay overnight?
After trying to understand the reason, she got off the horse and walked up the steps slowly with the food box.

In the first few steps, her footprints were on fresh snow.But as he continued to walk, his footsteps stepped into the footprints that went down the mountain.

Step by step, they came to the gate of the Dao Palace.

No one greeted them, not even a word in their ears.

When she reached the side entrance of the Dao Palace, she pushed the door open on her own.

It's like coming home.

Enter the door, go around the hall, and finally come to the backyard.

In the backyard, looking at the female priest who was sitting by the window and looking at her, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Don't practice Taoism today? Are you waiting for me?"

While speaking, she took off the hat on her head.

The two people who came out of the picture scroll looked at each other.

The moonlight that had just emerged after the wind and snow stopped seemed to be dimmed.

I don't want to compete with the two stunning women.

Lifting the food box in his hand, Lord Huqiu flicked it casually.

The food box fell into the air like cotton, and slowly landed in front of Xuan Suning.

"If you're not at home, you can calculate people's hearts, and disturb others in the middle of the night, why?"

"...?"

Lord Huqiu was taken aback for a moment, looked her up and down, and asked abruptly:
"Are you in a good mood?"

Just like Xuan Suning asked her that morning in the library.

She only needs to show a little bit of emotion, and she will be caught by her that something is wrong.

"..."

Facing the silent female Taoist, Master Huqiu entered the door on his own, came to the window, and took the food box.

After opening it, there are four small dishes of dishes and a jug of wine inside.

"No one has eaten the food, so I'll keep it for you when it's ready. This pot of wine is a 40-year-old drink. I drank a pot, and it was very strong. Your palace is really too quiet This is a place for quiet cultivation on weekdays, but this year has come, if I don't come to accompany you, I'm afraid you will be too lonely this year."

While speaking, the teacup was poured with wine.

"Try it?"

Hearing this, Xuan Suning glanced down at the cup, then shook his head:
"I don't drink alcohol, you brought this jug of wine purely for yourself, why try it?"

"Always be polite."

Lord Huqiu didn't sit down either, he leaned against the window and picked up the teacup.

Just about to drink, Xuan Suning asked again:

"How many days have you not slept?"

"Three days? Four days? I can't remember."

After responding to her friend in a very casual tone, she raised her glass to him:
"So, don't you come here to listen to your chanting. When I finish drinking this pot of wine, you recite more scriptures for me, listen to me... Maybe I will fall asleep."

"..."

Xuan Suning was speechless, but grabbed a few beans, threw one into his mouth, and made a creaking sound.

"What's going on these days?"

"..."

Bean-chewing mouth.

Turning to look at the woman holding the wine glass, Xuan Suning shook his head:
"No."

"..."

"..."

moment.

"People outside Fang lie, aren't they afraid of being blamed by Sanqing?"

"Why does Sanqing blame me? For me, everything in the world is nothing but clouds and dust, so why is it interesting?"

"So... something happened, right? Tell me, what trouble did the Taoist get into again?"

"Are you so sure he got into trouble?"

"Otherwise? When did you talk so much again?"

"..."

The female Taoist shook her head slightly, licked the bean in her mouth, and then said:
"How could the queen not have your eyeliner around? I don't believe you don't know."

"Everyone has worked hard for a year. Except for the necessary duties, I gave them a holiday. Besides... since you come to Xiangshan, I will naturally give you three points of noodles. Otherwise, what will you do if you don't bring me a drink next time? ?”

"..."

Finally, in a somewhat weird atmosphere, Xuan Gaogong, the number three under heaven, said:

"That Taoist...had a conflict with the King of Yue today."

"..."

The wine in the originally calm glass rippled.

"what happened?"

Xuan Suning didn't hide anything, after telling everything, he continued:
"In your mouth before, I thought he was a foreigner who acted recklessly at most. But today it seems...you are wrong. He is no longer reckless. Dare to be in front of King Yue. He knocked on an unfilial hat..."

He didn't continue talking, but Mr. Huqiu understood.

but……

"Ha~"

Suddenly, a chuckle came from Master Huqiu's mouth.

Another glass of wine was drained.

She went on to ask:
"And then? With your temperament, since you manage it, you won't give up halfway. And based on my understanding of this Taoist... Did you suffer from him?"

Hearing some gloating words, Xuan Suning was neither annoyed nor angry.

just shaking his head:

"It's not a pain, it's just...he surprised me a bit."

"Where does the joy come from?"

"...the majority of the world are ignorant."

The female Taoist holding the teacup was silent for a while and then said lightly:
"Li He, is this what you think in your heart?"

"..."

"Those who seek the Tao wholeheartedly have obsessions in body and mind."

"..."

While Master Huqiu was listening silently, Xuan Suning thought for a while and said:
"Some people practice Taoism to become immortals, and some people practice Taoism to avoid the world. Some people ask for longevity, and some people ask for detachment. Even I am no exception, but his Taoism is very interesting. Sober among the ignorant. .When seeking the Tao, the body and mind are mindful.

But when the thought arises, he can let go of it freely.Although it is not clear what Tao he is seeking, but in my opinion, it is very interesting.Obviously in the world of mortals, it seems impossible to escape.But it happens to be alone.He...is alienated from you and me in this world.Like a spectator, although not cold-eyed, but watching everything.Although he watched everything from the sidelines, he couldn't be truly cold-eyed.The past of the world of mortals is all in my heart..."

Speaking of this, there was a hint of emotion in the female Taoist's tone.

It was also following this emotion that she shook her head:

"It's really fun."

"You're preaching to me? You're a worldly person and you're cold-hearted, what? Bullying me not to practice Taoism?"

Master Huqiu's voice seemed a little too calm.

But Xuan Suning didn't care what the other party thought.

Instead, he continued to shake his head:

"No, just telling the truth. He is very interesting, different from us. I think, for you, it may be because of this difference from those foolish people in this world in your eyes that makes you care so much about him Right...ha~"

"..."

Hearing the female Taoist's chuckle, the temperature in Master Huqiu's wine gradually began to rise.

There was also a hint of sarcasm in his tone, whether it was kind or malicious:
"It seems that our Xuan Daoist has moved the heart?...Don't tell me, the Taoist looks not ugly."

Xuan Suning glanced at her, then shook his head:

"Sharp teeth and sharp mouths."

After speaking, he flicked his finger.

A little fluorescent light fell into Master Fox Fur's teacup.

The heat that had already started to rise seemed to be caught by an invisible hand and pressed back into the cup.

The temperature of the wine in the glass returned to the freezing temperature within a few breaths.

It's like... never being hot.

Then, the female Taoist drank all the tea in her cup.

When I put down the cup, a sentence came out of my mouth:
"It's okay for me to be tempted. Even if he can't become a fairy in this life, if he practices Taoism with me, he can live a long life. Are you right?"

These words are unremarkable.

But for Master Huqiu...

The implication is very obvious.

The wine boiled again.

She glanced at her, shook her head and smiled:
"It will only show off the power of the tongue."

One can only speak sharply, and the other can show off his tongue.

The two who had killed a half-hearted person in the verbal confrontation shook their heads slightly.

Then, Xuan Suning stayed on the bed:
"It's getting late, let's rest. Tomorrow... for you, I'm afraid there will be a big feast. I'll read the scriptures for you."

"Ah."

Master Huqiu responded, and put down the cup of boiling hot wine.

When the smell of wine gradually spread in the house, he took off his boots, closed his clothes and lay down on the clean bed of the female Taoist.

Close your eyes.

After a while, I heard a low and soft voice of chanting:

"The old lord said: The Dao has no shape, but it gives birth to the heaven and the earth. The Dao has no emotion, and it moves the sun and the moon. The Dao has no name, but it nourishes all things. I don't know its name, but the strong name is Dao. The Daoist: There is clearness and turbidity, there is movement and stillness. Heaven The earth is pure and the earth is turbid, the sky is moving and the earth is still. Men are pure and women are turbid, men are moving and women are still. All things come into being. The source of the turbidity is the source of the clear, and the foundation of the stillness is the moving. If people can always be quiet, the world will return..."

Accompanied by the "Qing Jing Sutra" spoken by the female Taoist, Lord Huqiu's breath gradually becomes slow and long.

It seems... really fell asleep.

But Xuan Suning still didn't stop.

Over and over and over and over again.

She didn't know if her friend was really asleep, or if she was faking it.

But no matter what, if she could really get some rest time because of her "Qing Jing Sutra", then she would keep reading it.

If she falls asleep, please ask her to sleep soundly.

If she can't fall asleep, then use this "Qingjing Sutra" spoken by the Supreme Master to help her fall asleep peacefully over and over again.

Recite the scriptures thousands of times.

Maybe...

just in case……

Did she really fall asleep?

Sanqing is above, then please let her... sleep with peace of mind.

Immediately, the Taoist's chanting sound became softer, like a mother humming a song gently.

Taiyi... Save the Heavenly Venerable Kuku.
