Big Joe, Little Joe loves me

Chapter 278
"How can you join the Heavenly Master Way?"

There was an echo from the hall, Zhang Yulan's voice was a little loud.

Xiao Qiao glanced at her and said, "There are so many people in this world, why do you have to find me?"

Zhang Yulan sighed and said, "Everyone can do the righteous celestial master, only the one in a million talented person can do it, and you are the one in a million!"

"What is one-in-a-million? Besides being good-looking, am I just like ordinary people, with one nose and two eyes, what's the difference?" Xiao Qiao asked.

Zhang Yulan said: "This matter is related to the secret of my celestial master's way, unless you promise me to join the celestial master's way, I will tell you all the reasons."

Xiao Qiao snorted: "Don't talk about pulling me down, don't try to coax me into your broken way, I don't want to be a Taoist nun, the clothes of Taoist nuns are ugly!"

Zhang Yulan said: "As long as you agree to enter Taoism, you can wear whatever clothes you want."

Xiao Qiao said: "I don't want to be a vegetarian, I can't live without meat for a meal!"

Zhang Yulan said: "You can eat meat or vegetarian, no one will force you."

Xiao Qiao said: "I don't want to live in a Taoist temple either, it's too boring to meditate facing the wall, I will be suffocated to death!"

Zhang Yulan said: "This is also your freedom. Our Tianshi Dao has always adhered to the principle of not forcing or forcing."

Xiao Qiao said: "I still want to marry, I don't want to be an old maid forever!"

Zhang Yulan said: "Of course you can marry, no matter who you marry, the Tao of Heavenly Master will not restrict you."

"Really?" Xiao Qiao looked at Zhang Yulan suspiciously and asked, "Then why don't you marry?"

Zhang Yulan said: "This has nothing to do with you."

Xiao Qiao was speechless. The reason why she asked Zhang Yulan was because Zhang Yulan was already very old.

Although I don't know the exact age of Zhang Yulan, it is not difficult to tell from the demeanor and demeanor that Zhang Yulan is at least 30 years old now.

There are only a handful of ordinary women who are over 20 years old and do not get married, because once they are over 20 years old and do not get married, they will definitely be criticized by countless people.

And Zhang Yulan is already 30 years old, and a woman who is 30 years old has not started a family. In the eyes of the world, Zhang Yulan is an incredible alien!
A large part of the reason why Xiao Qiao didn't want to join the Tao of Heavenly Master was that she didn't want to be a different kind like Zhang Yulan.

What's more, the reputation of Tianshidao is not good at this time, because of the rebellion of Taipingdao, the reputation of Tianshidao has become rotten.

Joining Tianshi Dao is tantamount to putting a "rebellious" hat on your head. Maybe one day Tianshi Dao will rebel, and all Taoist disciples of Tianshi Dao will also suffer.

It is precisely because of this level of concern that Xiao Qiao has been unwilling to join the Tao of Heavenly Master.

"Why do you have any hesitation, as long as you join the Heavenly Master Dao, within three years, I will guarantee you to become a righteous Heavenly Master!"

Zhang Yulan vowed.

Xiao Qiao thought, you want me to be a traitor, can I not hesitate?
Of course, Xiao Qiao also knew that she couldn't say that, so she said: "Three years is too long, if I don't see my brother-in-law for three years, I will definitely collapse, unless you let me go back to Lujiang to see my brother-in-law first!"

Zhang Yulan said: "I advise you to stop thinking about it, you can't go anywhere, I won't let you go."

"Hmph, if you don't leave, don't leave. At worst, you will continue to waste time. I just won't join your path. What can you do with me?" Xiao Qiao snorted coldly.

Zhang Yulan blinked her green eyes, stared at Xiao Qiao, as if she wanted to see through her, and said, "I know what you're thinking, you're waiting for someone to rescue you, aren't you?"

Xiao Qiao remained silent, neither acknowledging nor denying.

Zhang Yulan continued: "I'm not afraid to tell you that the person who came to save you is Zhu Gongdao, how about we make a bet?"

Hearing Zhu Gongdao's name, Xiao Qiao was overjoyed at first, and then looked at Zhang Yulan puzzled.

Zhang Yulan said slowly: "Just bet on whether Zhu Gongdao can take you out of the Taoist temple. If he succeeds in taking you out, I will let you go back to Lujiang. Otherwise, you have to promise me to join the Taoist Taoism."

"It's not fair, the Taoist temple is full of your people!" Xiao Qiao frowned, and bargained: "Another bet, if Brother Zhu can find me, you will let me go back!"

Zhang Yulan said: "It's a beautiful idea, but it's a pity that this is not your house, so you can't make the decision. According to my conditions, I just ask you to bet or not?"

Xiao Qiao was silent for a while, then said: "Okay, what you say is what you say, I'll bet with you!"

Zhang Yulan's eyes narrowed, and she said in a deep voice, "Very well, you are doomed!"

Xiao Qiao also knows that the chances of winning are slim, but it is good to give it a go. She has been with Zhang Yulan for a long time, and she knows that Zhang Yulan is a person who will keep her word.

Moreover, before the result comes, who knows who will win or lose in the end?

She believes in Zhu Gongdao, just as she believes that the sky will be sunny after the rain, and the spring breeze will rise after the winter.

……

South of Nanzheng, in a valley.

Smoke rises, there is a hut, lush vegetation, green water and green mountains.

It was noon at this time, the sun was shining on the body, and the hot people were sweating profusely.

Zhang Lu is one of them.

Sitting on a steed, Zhang Lu hurried towards the thatched hut in front of him under the scorching sun.

"Brother, I saw the house and finally arrived. This place is really hard to find!"

The person who spoke was Zhang Wei, Zhang Lu's younger brother. At this time, Zhang Wei was also sitting on the same horse, his face was a little pale, and his body was dripping with sweat.

Zhang Lu sighed and said: "I told you not to come, you just wanted to follow, you must have suffered a lot."

Zhang Wei said with a smile: "What kind of suffering is this? As long as I can see my grandfather, I won't be afraid of suffering more. I haven't seen my grandfather for more than ten years. I don't know if he still remembers me. .”

Zhang Ludao: "What you said, do you really think that grandfather is old and confused?"

Zhang Weidao: "I dare not, I just think that people will inevitably become confused occasionally when they are old. After careful calculation, my grandfather should be more than 100 years old. Can he remember everything clearly?"

Zhang Ludao: "I think it's you who are so old-fashioned. You can't even remember the age of your grandfather. It's really unfilial! My grandfather is already 160 years old this year. Don't say I didn't remind you. When I see my grandfather, I can't call him grandfather. I have to call him Grandfather is a real person!"

Zhang Weidao: "I'll save it, brother, you have explained it many times."

Zhang Ludao: "Hmph, why have I told you so many times? It's not because I'm afraid you'll forget it when you arrive. Grandpa has a bad temper. If you make a mistake and annoy Grandpa, don't blame me for not saying hello to you in advance!"

Zhang Weidao: "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely remember it!"

Zhang Lu nodded, and gave another stern warning. At this time, the two had arrived in front of the hut, so they got off their horses and walked.

"Brother, why is the cooking smoke yellow?"

Looking at the yellow smoke rising from the chimney of the hut, Zhang Wei asked curiously.

Zhang Lu also looked up at the smoke, and slowly said: "Grandfather is probably doing alchemy, and he doesn't like others to disturb him when he is doing alchemy. Let's wait until the smoke clears before knocking on the door."

Zhang Wei sighed: "My grandfather is so good at alchemy, why is he unwilling to make more alchemy for his family? I heard that the blind 'Yannian Yishou Pill' refined by my grandfather is so powerful that ordinary people can increase their life by three years if they take one 'Yannian Yishou Pill'." Shouyuan, don't know if it's true or not?"

Zhang Lu laughed and said, "Do you also believe such hearsay rumors?"

Zhang Wei asked: "Could it be that the rumors are false? Why did grandfather live so long? Didn't he take the elixir that increases lifespan?"

Zhang Lu said lightly: "This matter is the top secret of my celestial master's way. Only a celestial master can know it. You are not a celestial master, so I can't tell you, but I can guarantee that grandfather's longevity is not about taking some medicine to increase his life. the elixir."

Zhang Wei was not reconciled, and asked: "What is the top secret, even I can't tell it?"

"It's not impossible." Zhang Lu said seriously: "Unless you want to die immediately!"

Hearing this, Zhang Wei's heart suddenly turned cold, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

The two waited outside the house for a long time, until when the sky was getting dark and approaching dusk, the closed door of the hut was suddenly opened.

The next moment, a slightly hoarse voice came: "Gongqi, what's going on here?"

Gongqi is Zhang Lu's surname.

Zhang Lu was moved when he heard the sound, although he didn't see anyone, he still bowed to the hut, and said loudly: "Disciple Zhang Lu, and brother Zhang Wei, pay respects to Master Zhengyi!"

Zhang Wei hurriedly imitated the example, knelt down and saluted.

The hoarse voice came again: "I said, no one is allowed to come here except you, do you take my words as deaf ears?"

Zhang Lu knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up, explaining: "Zhengyi Daoist forgives the sin, but the disciple came here rashly because Brother Wei is suffering from an incurable disease, and has reached the point where the medicine and stone are ineffective. The disciple thinks about it again and again, the only one in the world Zhenyi Zhengyi can cure Brother Wei's serious illness!"

There was silence in the hut for a while, before he said: "Forget it, since he is a child of the Zhang family, I will make an exception for once, you all come in together!"

Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei showed joy at the same time, and then walked into the hut one after the other.

There was an old man in the hut, about fifty years old, with a thick beard, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, white hair and a childlike face.

Hey, how has grandpa changed?
Zhang Wei stared at the old man, surprised for a while. Although he hadn't seen his grandfather for more than ten years, he still vaguely remembered his grandfather's appearance.

It's definitely not what it looks like in front of you!

Zhang Lu stared at the strange old man and asked, "Who is he?"

"This man's name is Hua Tuo, and his medical skills are not bad. Let him take a look at Gongze's condition." A hoarse voice came, but it wasn't the old man who was speaking, the voice came from behind a screen.

"He is Hua Tuo!" Zhang Wei was surprised. He knew that Hua Tuo's name was famous, and he had sent people to look for Hua Tuo everywhere, but they couldn't find him.

It is worth mentioning that recently Ming Wang Liu Gan paid a lot of money to find Hua Tuo's whereabouts. This news has already caused a lot of noise all over the world.

I didn't expect Hua Tuo to be here!
Hua Tuo took Zhang Wei's pulse without saying a word, stared at Zhang Wei for a long time, and sighed: "Eat as much as you can, if you have any unfulfilled wishes, go quickly, your time is running out. "

Zhang Wei's face was ashamed, even Hua Tuo said so, could it be that he is really hopeless?

"I beg grandfather to save me, now only you can save me!" Zhang Wei said in one word, Zhang Lu's complexion suddenly changed, and he secretly cried out.

Zhang Lu scolded Zhang Wei for being an idiot in his heart, and even though he had repeatedly reminded him, he still committed a big taboo!

How would grandfather deal with Zhang Wei?

At this moment, Zhang Lu's nervous palms were sweating.
