Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 690 689. Two Pies

Big Copper Mountain, inside Chongxu Hall.

When Li Chunfeng entered the hall, he only saw a young Taoist with clear eyes.

After seeing him coming, she nodded slightly to him and said:
"You came."

Li Chunfeng did not show any surprise when he saw the young Taoist in front of him, but bowed and said respectfully:
"The disciple has seen the master."

"Oh?"

The Taoist was a little surprised and asked:
"Since when did you discover it?"

Li Chunfeng respectfully said:
"The disciple has been discovering it for a while. From Senior Brother Miao Ying and some clues, he guessed the identity of Master."

"I see."

A smile appeared in the eyes of the young Taoist, nodded, and pointed to the futon:

"sit down."

"Yes."

Li Chunfeng bowed and sat on the futon next to him.

There was no nervousness, nor any unease.

It turned out to be a mess of calmness.

The young Taoist seemed more satisfied and nodded:
"Not bad, not bad. It seems that following Miao Ying, you have grown a lot."

"Brother Miaoying indeed taught a lot of disciples, but it's not about cultivation, it's about the responsibilities some monks of my generation have to bear when they are born in this world, so that disciples can be enlightened."

"Ha~"

Hearing Li Chunfeng's words, the young Taoist chuckled again, sat on the futon and said unhurriedly:

"As for Miaoying, in terms of talent... let alone you, nine out of ten cultivators in this world are not as good as him. He was smart when he was young, and he suffered from a disease. He has a firm heart towards the Tao. After joining our school, although he did not have the name of a direct disciple, he taught him all his abilities. If he enters the Tao with pills, if there is no accident, at this age, he may have already arrived Enlightened Dao, became a generation of Alchemy Dao, and his name will go down in history. It's just... a pity."

There was a trace of regret in his eyes, and he shook his head:
"He chose another path."

"..."

Li Chunfeng's mouth moved.

seems to want to say something...

But in the end, he didn't speak, and he didn't feel the need to speak.

And Zhang Daoxuan didn't continue to comment on his disciple, who was a pity for his talent after all, but changed his words and said:

"Your cultivation base is improving very quickly. Although it is not yet possible to reach the realm of Yin and Yang, it will only be a matter of time if you go on like this. Leifa is the way, the upper body is the heavenly heart, and the punishment is on behalf of the sky. It must be practiced. A person who maintains righteousness himself, and many evil thoughts should not be born early. Do you remember?"

"……Yes."

Li Chunfeng responded.

Then I heard Zhang Daoxuan's decree:

"Well, from today onwards, you are still the same as before. Every day, I will teach you about Lei Fa for half an hour."

"!"

Li Chunfeng's expression suddenly changed.

Zhang Daoxuan looked interesting and asked:
"What? You don't want to?"

"..."

No need to ask any more, just look at the entanglement on Li Chunfeng's face, you can tell that he is definitely unwilling.

Therefore, Henry Zhang already knew his answer.

So he said again:
"I know that your heart is attached to Miaoying and that little girl from the Cui family. Don't worry, as a teacher, I don't want you to leave, but just let you come here for half an hour every morning. Do you understand?"

"……what?"

After all, young age.

The moment he heard this, Li Chunfeng inevitably let out a voice of doubt:
"No...don't leave me?"

"I keep you, what can I do?"

There was no calculation in Zhang Daoxuan's smile at this moment, but a...very calm look.

In front of his apprentice, he asked directly:

"To keep you from seeing your Taoist companion? Or maybe it's because of worry and uneasiness? Or, do you think that the teacher wants to use you to stop Li Shouchu?"

"!"

Li Chunfeng's eyes widened immediately.

Master... What did Master say! ?

he……

"Fate is still uncertain."

Looking at the shocked apprentice, Zhang Daoxuan shook his head with a smile:

"Feng'er, whether it's Li Shouchu or other things, that's my business, not yours. No matter what you do as a teacher, you must understand that the world is divided into yin and yang, and solitary yin does not grow, and solitary yang does not grow. Everything lives and dies. In terms of embracing circles, facing life and death, and facing death and life. Although... as a teacher, you should not say these words. But occasionally, you might as well read the few Buddhist scriptures in the teacher's study. The theory of reincarnation and cause and effect, There is some truth in entering in a way that just complements the way of heaven."

"..."

Li Chunfeng didn't know what Master was going to do now.

But Zhang Daoxuan did not explain, but left the last sentence:

"What you do as a teacher is your destiny. Your affairs are your destiny. Teachers, you are responsible for preaching, accepting karma, and resolving doubts. This point, when you become a teacher in the future, you will also have the responsibility....Okay, then Let's start, look at your realm, think that the thunder of the five internal organs has been unblocked now. Today, as a teacher, I will tell you what is the law of thunder..."

……

Half an hour passed by.

From being worried at the beginning, to gradually being baptized by the vastness of this Taoist supreme thunder method, I fell into that unspeakable state.

When Li Chunfeng was awakened, he realized...

This half an hour is just a flick of a finger, and it just passed.

There are many things that I can't figure out, but at this moment, I suddenly figured it out.

But after he figured it out, doubts flooded out again.

Forced him to open his mouth to ask.

But Zhang Daoxuan raised his hand one step earlier:
"Don't be too hasty. Let's come here today. Come here early tomorrow. If you are more diligent, you can go to the morning class with the teacher."

As he said that, a few traces of "playfulness" suddenly appeared on his young appearance.

"After your senior brother left, there is no fun on this big copper mountain. You can be regarded as filling his vacancy."

As he said these words, Li Chunfeng's rationality temporarily suppressed that doubt.

After thinking about it, he suddenly stood up respectfully:
"Master, there is one thing I don't understand about this disciple."

But Zhang Daoxuan seemed to know what he was going to ask, and shook his head:

"This is my business, the secret must not be leaked."

"Why!?"

Li Chunfeng still did not give up.

I want to ask why.

"It's fate."

The young Taoist smiled lightly.

With a wave of your hand...

Li Chunfeng's eyes suddenly blurred.

When I came back to my senses again, I found that I had returned to the foot of the Big Copper Mountain.

"..."

His brow furrowed again.

But he didn't know that on the Datong Mountain, Zhang Daoxuan looked at the futon that his disciple had sat on before, and said unhurriedly to the empty hall:

"Life is endless. That's enough."

No one responded.

For a moment, he smiled slightly:
"I also didn't expect that Tianji could really talk to the three monks in the Bodhi Temple... well, let's see. I also want to see how far the three of them can go."

……

"Taoist, let's go."

Seeing Master Huqiu at the gate of the small courtyard, Li Zhen finally stopped hustling the pot of medicinal herbs that looked like shriveled branches in front of Sun Simiao.

Throw the medicinal material that was folded in half into the basin:
"Old Sun, I'm leaving."

"...Be careful."

It is different from the previous "get out of here".

Sun Simiao suddenly said this.

Then looked at him very seriously:
"Enlightenment is not invincible, although I don't know what you are going to do, but...be careful."

Li Zhen froze for a moment, then nodded with a smile:
"Ah."

After speaking, he waved his hand and walked out of the yard.

As usual, when accompanied by a servant, the two of them would not speak a word.

It wasn't until the three squares that Li Zhen opened his mouth and said:
"My lord, what did the empress say?"

"I didn't say anything about Tianji, but I just told them that I'm going to the front line of Liyang to see. Now that the Wagang Army in Luoyang has made moves, Liyang's side... can't move, it's best not to move. This is Their thoughts, including Chen Ling's, are also the same. So, I promised them that I will take you to the front line."

"Uh……"

Li Zhen frowned slightly:

"Why don't you talk about Tianji?"

"Do you think they can provoke the national teacher now?"

"..."

Looking at the silent Li Zhen, Master Huqiu shook his head:

"Tianji is not the problem, Taoist priest. The real problem is what tricks he is playing. So... just go and see."

"it is good."

Li Zhen responded, then smiled and said:

"Speaking of which, I don't know what's abundant in Liyang... What's delicious and fun?"

"Well……"

Rarely, Master Huqiu's hesitation was due to such a naive question.

But after thinking about it for about two breaths, she nodded:
"Rice cake is not bad. It is crushed with glutinous rice mortar, pounded into strips, and roasted over fire...it is very suitable for wine. It can also be used as rice..."

"Jiangdu also has them. Didn't Pindao buy them for adults last time?"

"Didn't you say it's not authentic?"

"...ha~"

……

"Be careful along the way."

Hearing Xue Rulong's request, Li Zhen nodded:

"Do not worry."

Saying that, he sat on the crossbar of the car again, and smiled at the trio of "one man, two demons" next to him:

"Come back and bring you rice cakes."

Mu lit a cigarette like pounding garlic.

"Mmmmmmm!"

So, the carriage rolled away.

All the way out of the city, began to follow the official road all the way north.

After walking about not too far, Master Huqiu, who was resting in the carriage, heard a sound:
"My lord, Shouzhen...arrived in Taiyuan."

……

Taiyuan Shanxi.

"Shop er, if I want sliced ​​noodles."

"...???"

In the restaurant shop, the waiter looked puzzled.

Knife cutting...what the hell?
"...No?"

Shou Zhen frowned, and said:
"I want to eat jujube bun."

The shop clerk's complexion was already not right.

Looking at this ordinary dressed Taoist with a weathered look...

Niubi, aren't you entertaining your grandpa?
But looking at his unkind eyes, Shouzhen thought for a while...

"What do you have?"

"Soup cakes."

"...how did you do it?"

"Handmade."

"Without a knife?"

"..."

Just when Xiaoer Dian suspected that this person really came to entertain his limits, Shouzhen nodded:

"Okay, then soup cakes."

"...Twenty Wen."

After thinking about it, the waiter felt that it would be safer to collect the money first.

Shouzhen didn't care, and took out the few remaining copper coins from his arms, and after counting twenty, there were only a few big ones left.

After thinking about it, he asked again:

"There are still these left, what fresh food do you have?"

Fresh?

It's grandpa who gives the money, and the waiter doesn't care about this strange bull nose at this time, pointing at the door:
"That's right, cooking cakes, freshly baked, one for four big ones. Fresh!"

"...?"

A strange look appeared on Shouzhen's face:

"Can't you understand?"

Hey you bastard...

The waiter was speechless again, and was about to get angry, but now another table of guests walked in.

He cast a bitter glance at the Taoist who spoke like farting, flicked his sleeves, and went to greet the guests.

Soon, a bowl of soup cakes was brought over, Shouzhen rummaged a few times with chopsticks, and took another bite.

While chewing, he muttered:
"Noodles are soft, fail."

"Soup is white water, fail."

"The meat is overcooked, the failure of failure..."

This journey can be said to have been eaten all over the north and south. While muttering, he disliked the unpalatable bowl of soup cakes.

But, he didn't waste any of this bowl of noodles.

After drinking all the soup base, he got up and walked out of the restaurant.

As expected, I came to the pancake stall opposite.

For four pennies, he bought a freshly baked hot pancake, which he ate while walking while holding it in his hand.

But after taking two bites, he felt that the taste was not bad, so he turned back, handed over the last four copper plates, and bought another one.

Two stacked together, one bite to go down.

It was fragrant and fragrant, and a trace of satisfaction finally appeared in his brows and eyes after eating.

Well, this store is not lazy.

It was sprinkled with salt.

good smell.

So, he gnawed like this while walking away from the City Lord's Mansion.

While observing the local conditions and customs of Taiyuan.

But before he took a few steps, two fast horses galloped behind him.

Shouzhen didn't look back and continued to walk forward.

But when he reached the entrance of an alley, he suddenly stopped.

The two fast horses behind him brushed against his body and rushed over, kicking up a trail of smoke and dust.

And looking at the appearance of the soldier who immediately put the arrow on his back, it is obvious that he is a soldier escorting the military situation.

At the same time, his body was hit by someone.

"Ouch~"

With a little childish voice sounded.

A little girl in patched clothes took a few steps back, clutching her head, and sat down on the ground.

Obviously, if Shou Zhen hadn't blocked her just now, she would have been stuck with those two war horses on her end.

That is death, and it is all in vain.

Not only that, but not punishing you for delaying a military plane is the kindness of the defense chief here.

But Shou Zhen, who casually saved the little girl's life, didn't care.

Biting the cake, he looked at the dissatisfied little girl who got up from the ground with her head covered. He didn't explain, "I was saving you just now", and left without saying anything.

Instead, after thinking about it, he broke off a piece from the two cakes and handed it to the little girl.

Those eyes seemed to be silently asking:
"Eat?"

"..."

The dissatisfaction on the little girl's face turned into joy as she looked at the fragrant pancakes.

He took the cake and bit into it.

The tangy aroma made her smile unconsciously.

But when he looked up again, he saw that the Taoist priest had already left with the cake in his mouth.

Look at the way he walks and eats cakes at the same time...

Should be quite hungry.
