Chapter 122 The Story Begins

Chatted until late at night.

Uncle Four Eyes rang the bell and left Yizhuang with a group of Qing Dynasty customers.

Qiu Sheng rode his stylish bicycle with extra bars and went to spend the night at his aunt's house.

Uncle Jiu asked the homeless literary talent to clean up a room for his senior brother Meng Fan.

In fact, Meng Fan just asked for a cane bed, not a quilt or mattress, and decided to meditate until dawn.

……

The sun rises.

In the room, Meng Fan slowly opened his eyes.

Energetic and energetic.

The benefits of practicing Taoism are evident.

Immediately afterwards, he practiced the exercise technique for a while and lasted for about a quarter of an hour. There was smoke above his head, and then he took his clothes and toiletries and went to the simple bathroom.

In this era, there are no toiletries in the conventional sense, at least not in the homes of ordinary people.

However, there are tooth powders with various herbs added, as well as simple shampoos boiled with honey locust meat, and baths made with plant ash, pulp water, soap locust, bean paste, peach blossoms, cloves, green wood incense and other flower spices. bean.

Soon.

Meng Fan walked out refreshed and put on Uncle Jiu's clothes. According to his uncle, these were the clothes he wore during the Chinese New Year. He only wore them for one day and then washed them and put them away——

A blue robe with exquisite grape patterns on it. Inside is a red mandarin jacket and a traditional hat with sapphire.

"Well, he has the style of a country squire from the Republic of China."

Looking at the mirror, Meng Fan nodded with satisfaction, he quite liked this appearance.

In later generations, this kind of clothing is a real luxury product. It requires a lot of manpower, time, and special craftsmanship, and is destined to be expensive.

"Xiaofan."

Uncle Jiu walked out of the room while adjusting his clothes and said hello to Meng Fan.

"Morning master."

"Well, that brat Wencai hasn't gotten up yet, so I'll ask him to cook breakfast."

"No, no, we talked until late last night. Junior Brother has only slept for three hours so far. Let him continue to rest."

Meng Fan smiled and said, "I'm going to cook rice porridge."

"There are red dates and longans in the small jar."

Uncle Jiu informed.

At home, Amin cooks, and Meng Fan is responsible for eating. Now that he is temporarily staying at his uncle's house, he has to work harder. At the moment, he is too embarrassed to trouble his junior brother Wencai. After all, he has not yet entered the Taoism and must get enough sleep. Come to refresh your mind.

Fortunately, steaming rice and cooking porridge are not technical tasks. Just boil water, add rice, add some longan and red dates, and serve with side dishes that have been pickled in advance.

The two ate with gusto.

Seeing his nephew drinking eight large bowls in a row, combined with the sight of him easily suppressing zombies with his bare hands yesterday, Uncle Jiu also knew that Meng Fan had practiced some techniques to strengthen his body, and he couldn't help but feel envious of Junior Brother Qianhe.

Because at this time, his disciples were still sleeping.

"Today, a wealthy country squire in town invited me over to discuss matters. We made an appointment at a place to drink foreign tea. Do you have time to accompany me?"

Foreign tea?
Isn't it just a coffee shop?
Thinking about what happened in the movie, Meng Fan felt that the so-called twists and turns were actually quite simple. Wen Cai stared at Ren Tingting and said a few words about Meng Lang, which made her unhappy.

Therefore, Ren Tingting deliberately played a trick on her by drinking coffee without sugar, leading her uncle to imitate her.

The solution is also very easy. I would like to remind Uncle Jiu a few words. First, remember to add milk and sugar when drinking coffee. Second, do not add milk and sugar when eating egg tarts, because it is very sweet in itself, and it will feel overly sweet after adding it.

However, since the uncle has spoken for this reason, no one with some emotional intelligence will refuse.

"Have."

Meng Fan nodded and said, "Uncle, when will we set off?"

"The agreement is 09:30, we can leave at nine o'clock."

"Okay, I'm going to wash the clothes first. Where do you put your clothes?"

Hearing this, Uncle Jiu refused directly and said:.
"Hey, I'm a guest from afar, so don't bother me. Just let this guy Wencai wash you." There was no room for negotiation in his tone.

Wen Cai was homeless, so Uncle Jiu taught him his skills, provided him with food and clothing, washed and cooked for his master, which was the right thing to do.

But Meng Fan was still not used to asking his junior brother for help, so he simply washed the dishes and chopsticks, found a basin himself, and wiped clean the clothes he had not changed for three days.

Everything was seen by Uncle Jiu, and at the same time, Wencai's life-threatening snores came from the side hall.

So, when he got up, he saw his master's livid face, and looked up at the sky. The sun had risen very high.

He immediately understood what was going on, smiled honestly, and without caring about eating, he took the chicken feeding tool from Uncle Jiu's hand and started to help.

"Go and wash up, change into clean clothes, and I will take you to drink foreign tea."

"No no no..."

Wencai kept shaking his head.

"It's just to experience it, let's go, I'm used to Chinese food, and change my taste occasionally."

Meng Fan, who was reading the "Maoshan Secret Book of Cure Evil" in the courtyard, spoke up.

"Your senior brother is right. I have never drunk foreign tea in my life, and I am very curious about these foreign gadgets."

Uncle Jiu's face turned pale.

Seeing what they said, Wencai, who had just finished feeding the chickens, immediately put down the feed bucket and went to wash up and change clothes.

……

With Meng Fan here, nothing like that happened during this trip. Uncle Jiu was talking to Mr. Ren, Meng Fan listened quietly, and his junior brother Wen Cai stared at Ren Tingting in a daze.

In the middle of the conversation, speaking English to pretend to be a fork, or boasting about stealing the limelight, Meng Fan also didn't touch it, it was too clichéd, and it was too tasteless.

On the contrary, Ren Tingting was surprised by the fact that he went abroad to study, according to the superficial understanding of the world's labeling:
Taoists represent feudalism.

Going abroad represents progress.

Out of curiosity, the wealthy daughter asked a few sensitive questions. Thanks to Meng Fanqi's good temper, although his words were brief, he answered them very seriously.

Is there a god in this world?
Have.

Why should you run to practice Taoism at such a young age?

Subdue demons and eliminate demons, cultivate longevity.

How does science explain it?

……

Finally, the uncle said: "If you believe it, there will be something, if you don't believe it, there will be nothing. Taoists respect the heaven and earth and all the spirits, and do not do anything that violates laws and disciplines or violates human ethics. Some hang pots to help the world, some subjugate demons and eliminate demons, some help the poor, and even more Will not force others to believe."

"Girl, there is no need to ask any more questions."

They have different paths and do not seek each other's will, but each follows his or her own will.

Master Ren also spoke.

This ended the meaningless questioning.

As Uncle Jiu said, Meng Fan never discussed these issues with outsiders, let alone felt that there was an antithesis between science and Taoism.

As for the desire for immortality?

Big truth, no pretense.

Laozi said: "From birth to death, three out of ten people will be born, and three out of ten will die. When a person is born, three out of ten people will die."

"The Book of Saving People" says: "The Immortal Way cherishes life and can't measure people."

Every orthodox Taoist hopes to achieve longevity through self-cultivation.

Even if you cannot reach this supreme state, you still have to cherish life, be reborn, and enjoy life, and raise your state of mind to the state of a god. In this way, the unity of life and path is also the attainment of the Tao.

 The protagonist does not accept Ren Tingting, and this book is not a harem. He is a Taoist. In the early stage, he was still a policeman, and his promiscuity is outrageous.

  As for Ren Tingting, please don't be so malicious. I have read a lot of similar books. Regardless of whether the female character appears or not, she always uses bad words and degrades people into toilets... In movies and TV shows, she is just a rich girl with a lot of money. The responsible rich lady is more calm than a literary talent when facing zombies.
