Lingxian Zhenjun

Chapter 414 I am a moon repairer
Jingling copper bells rang in the official road.

From Luoyang to the east, across the Yellow River to the northeast, among the passing business travelers and pedestrians, a dilapidated carriage was pulled by a surprisingly strong green ox leisurely past, attracting many eyes.

There were also business travelers who came up to ask the car owner if he would sell the cow to them, how many donkeys he would give, and a hundred or so Wen. The answer was that the old cow turned his head and sprayed them with saliva.

Chen Yuan smiled, clapped her hands and pleaded guilty to those merchant travelers who were spitting on their bodies, and continued on their way. At the same time, she told Lao Niu not to be so rude.

"Your practice is getting deeper and deeper, don't be so reckless, if you are a little careless, you will confiscate the evil spirit, and a little bit of saliva will make these people seriously ill when they go back."

"Who made them think that my old cow is a good deal?"

"Didn't you also be gifted to me by the Liu family back then? What's more, they only said that you were a green bull with an extremely strong physique."

The old cow turned around and said in a voice that ordinary people can't hear: "That's different. At that time, my old cow couldn't be the master, and my spiritual knowledge was not high. After following the master, I knew more about who I am and why I exist here. A piece of heaven and earth, why do you want to live...how can it be like before."

This answer, Chen Yuan nodded approvingly. Those words just now were actually asked that way on purpose. It can be seen that the old cow who has lived alone in the valley for many years has absorbed the aura of the mountain, not only has a high level of morality, but also has a better understanding of himself. new acquaintance.

"You can think this way, it can be seen that you have worked hard all these years."

After being praised, the old cow was like a child, flicking the tail behind his buttocks excitedly.

"Master, my old cow will be even more powerful, just as powerful as Ah Bang in the underworld!"

"It's just as powerful, I'm afraid I'm going to go to the underworld to help him."

The fat Taoist with Xiaodaotong on the side of the road interrupted, and he took Sun Yingxian to the nearby fields from time to time, digging up some wild game from the mud, cleaning it in the small ditch, stuffing it into a yellow cloth bag, and then coming back.

"What are you doing with your apprentice over there?" It's not the first time Chen Yuan saw him doing this. It was the same way on the way to Luoyang before. Now that I'm free, I just thought of asking him.

The fat Taoist threw his apprentice into the carriage, sat on Chen Yuan's plate, crossed his legs, and patted the bag with a smile.

"Teach this stupid apprentice how to look for food outside. As a practitioner, you travel all over the world. You may not be able to meet people in the wilderness. If you don't learn a little bit, won't you be hungry in the future?"

Chen Yuan couldn't help laughing and said, "It's still so big, so far away."

"Seven years old, not too young. In a few years, when he is 13 years old, let him go out by himself. He is also 13 years old and eats everywhere... He was favored by the Tianshi Mansion and entered the mountain gate to achieve his current achievements." .”

Chen Yuan suppressed her smile and didn't expose the old grandson's nonsense. After all, she was setting an example for her disciples. If she uncovered the old truth, she would lose face and make Xiao Daotong look down on her. learn it.

The setting sun swept across the western clouds like a tide, and the mountains were dyed a bright red.

After walking another way, we have already entered the border of Hebei, and the official road cannot be left. Wei Guo's army is heading south, and the road is full of scouts and Qingqi who are clearing the road.

At this time, Chen Yuan asked Lao Niu to turn to the nearby mountain path, but this place is not so smooth, and you can often meet groups of nearby people who are avoiding the disaster of war.

In case of war, soldiers passing through the border, whether they are the enemy or their own army, sometimes go to the nearby villages to collect food. Hide in the mountains and wait for the army to pass, or the war to end.

When a strange bullock cart came over, many thatched sheds had been built here, and there were traces of people living in the nearby caves. It could be seen that they had lived here for a few days.

The villagers gathered in the caves on the mountainside watched vigilantly. The men were holding hoes and hatchets, protecting their belongings, and there were women, children and the elderly. The women shrank in with their children in their arms. sluggish.

After seeing a middle-aged man dressed as a teacher and a chubby old Taoist priest with a little Taoist boy sitting on the bullock cart, the tense atmosphere eased.

"This gentleman, and that Taoist priest, don't be afraid, we are not bandits, we are all people from nearby villages."

The old man in the village saw the bullock cart coming from outside, and was helped by the villager Qing to come to the front of the cart to inquire about the situation, "The three are also avoiding disaster? We have been in the mountain for several days. I don't know the situation outside. Has the army passed by? "

"I'm not very clear about this. I only saw many army Qingqi wandering around. I was worried about accidents, so I chose this mountain road."

Chen Yuan stopped the ox cart, bowed her hand to return the salute, and looked around. The figures she saw were mostly coarse linen clothes, with panicked and disheveled faces, and it could be seen that they were real people from nearby villages.

"Alas, this is the way of the world." The old man in the village sighed when he heard that Qingqi was still wandering outside, "The only way is to end soon, three, it's getting late, and the mountain road ahead is difficult, if you don't dislike it , just stay here with us for one night, and leave at dawn tomorrow."

Driving the mountain road at night is indeed dangerous, but it is not difficult for Chen Yuan and his party, but seeing the sad and anxious faces of the people, if they stay for one night, they should be protected for one night.

Then nodded, Chen Yuan smiled and thanked: "Then thank the old man for taking me in."

After finishing speaking, he ordered the fat Taoist to park the ox cart beside him, and he didn't take out the iron pot. It was rusty after not using it for many years, so it would be a joke to take it out.

These villagers are simple and enthusiastic, and a little food from the family is enough for Chen Yuan and the three of them to deal with it.

wow~ wow~
As the night fell, the old crows in the forest neighed ominously.

But there was no uneasiness here, the fat Taoist played his familiar temperament, and pulled a group of villagers to brag, bluffing the villagers who had never seen anything in the world.

Listening to the bragging words over there, Chen Yuan sat by the fire and stretched out her hands to keep warm. In the corner of her eyes, there was a small figure beside her. It was a little girl with a dirty face and two braids, who was curious. Look over here.

"Does sir teach people how to read?"

"Well... yes." Chen Yuan thought for a while and nodded in response.

"Then can you tell stories?" The little girl was not timid at all, "My mother said that anyone who can read and write can tell stories, and they can tell them nicely."

"Xiaoju."

A woman came over quickly, patted the child's arm with some reproach, and pulled the little girl back: "Don't disturb the master's thinking."

"No, I really like her."

Chen Yuan smiled, raised her hand to stop the woman's movement, "I do know how to tell stories, and I can tell many good ones. What do you want to hear?"

The little girl thought for a while, then shook her head.

"Then do you know what your husband does?" Chen Yuan asked the little girl with a smile, and the latter responded quickly and crisply: "Don't you teach people to read, sir?"

"Only half."

Chen Yuan smiled and continued: "Sir, you are actually a fairy, have you seen the moon?"

The little girl raised her head in a daze, followed the direction she was pointing, and saw the crescent moon in the night sky behind the forest gap, nearby women, old people, and some young adults subconsciously raised their heads.

"What happened to the moon?" the little girl asked curiously.

"I, actually specialize in repairing the moon."

Chen Yuan raised her head and told a little story about flying to the sky and repairing the moon in a gentle tone.

The bonfire rises to sparks, and the peaceful and interesting stories seem to have the magic of soothing people's uneasiness. The surrounding villagers gradually quiet down, immersed in this tranquility, and listen to the teacher's words.

The flickering light of the fire gave off a sense of warmth.
