One thought of Acacia, one thought of perseverance

Chapter 4

On the second day, some disciples of Qingxu Temple performed precepts.Rong Chenzi didn't sleep well for several days, but he still cheered up and presided over the ceremony of fasting.This is the ceremony of entering the Tao, and the Qingxu Temple has always been valued, and the scene is extremely lively.

Before the ceremony begins, it is necessary to enliven the atmosphere. All the people from Qingxu Temple will be present, and the presiding mage will lead the singing of the scriptures. The singing is not lively, and musical instruments are also required. , flute, flute, erhu, etc., with a complete set.

He Mu thought it was very interesting, and peeked at the lush peach tree next to the dojo, his heart was full of joy.Rong Chenzi glanced at her, still singing sutras solemnly, as if he had nothing else to do.

The music uses "Three Refuges", Rong Chenzi's singing voice is sublime, not sticking to the score, the color scheme is subdued, which is very pleasant to the ear.After the scriptures are sung, the precepted disciples come forward to listen to the training.

There are many precepts in Taoism, such as "Taishang Laojun Precepts Sutra", "Laojun Yin Chanting Precepts Sutra", "Three Caves Precepts" and so on.The mussel was reluctant to listen to it before, but later it was like listening to a lullaby.

When Rong Chenzi talked about the Three Converts and the Five Precepts, she finally fell asleep lying on the tree.

"The first refuge, the Supreme Supreme Dao, eternal escape from reincarnation, so it is called Taobao..." Rong Chenzi's clothes were like snow, and his demeanor was solemn and solemn.

"Second refuge to the gods, 36 respected scriptures, you can hear the true Dharma, so they are called treasures of scriptures." Rong Chenzi's voice was low, and he narrated those Taoist classics, as familiar as palm prints.

Just looking up at the tree, he suddenly bent his lips slightly.

——This guy can't sing, the more she sings, the more energetic she gets!All sutras have to be recited, and she will fall asleep as soon as she recites them.

When the mussel woke up, it was dark.She slid down holding the tree pole, stroking her growling stomach, and was about to go back to her room when she saw Rong Chenzi sitting cross-legged in the dojo.The night was very dark, and all the disciples dispersed.

He made a formula with both hands, remained silent, and placed his whisk on his right hand. This high Taoist was like a stone statue.

He Mu trotted over in three steps at a time, the golden bell on her ankle jingled, and Rong Chenzi opened his eyes.This clam was sleeping like a dead man, and it was not easy for him to wake her up, so he had to wait here for her to wake up.

Because of his special physique, there are many monsters like Pan Heng on the outside of Qingxu. No matter whether he is capable or not, this mussel is a woman after all. He doesn't want any accidents to happen.

It's just that he didn't expect this guy to sleep for several hours, and now it's almost three o'clock.

The clam was very unconscious, and leaned on it, and was so moved that tears streamed down his face: "Rong Chenzi, thank God you finally finished reading the scriptures!!"

Rong Chenzi brushed her away with a dust whisk, and the evening breeze sent her gently, his fragrance wafted in the whole wind.The mussel was even hungrier: "Aww, what do I have for dinner, I'm hungry!"

Rong Chenzi shook his head, but went back to the bedroom.There was already a table of vegetarian food inside, considering the appetite of the mussels, Rong Chenzi specifically asked his disciples to cook a few more dishes.

The careful Taoist priests in the canteen naturally noticed that Zhiguan's food intake had increased recently, but he was always strict, so he didn't dare to ask.

The mussels on the table were poor to eat and drink, Rong Chenzi took a steamed bun, chewed it slowly, and behaved gracefully.The mussel quickly finished the dishes on the table, and then she started staring at the half steamed bun in Rong Chenzi's hand.Rong Chenzi felt that this look was very familiar - when he was eating outside, the wild dogs on the side of the road often stared at him like this!

"..." He sighed softly, and handed over half of the steamed bun in his hand. The mussel grinned, "I knew you couldn't eat it! Don't waste it, waste it... creak (shameful)!" She swallowed the steamed bun, Lisp.

Rong Chenzi sighed, got up and went to the dining hall, and found some vegetable buns and glutinous rice cakes to feed her.When I came out, I was afraid that it would not be enough, so I took a few cucumbers and two eggs from the kitchen with me.

River mussels never refuse anyone, more powerful than a bucket of water!
In the past few days, she occupied Rong Chenzi's bedroom. Rong Chenzi avoided her even when combing his hair, and it was even more inconvenient to take a shower.Unexpectedly, he loves cleanliness very much, so he had to go to the mountain spring in the back mountain to bathe.Fortunately, he is a cultivator, his body has always been strong, and he is not afraid of the coldness of mountain springs.

The night is dark, the wind stirs the mountains and forests, and the vegetation whispers.Rong Chenzi took off his Taoist robe slowly, and put the coat and inner garment on the bluestone by the spring.The moon showed half of its face shyly, and then hid in the depths of the floating clouds.The mountain spring water soaked through every pore, he let out a long breath and completely relaxed.

Unexpectedly, after being quiet for only a moment, the mussel came looking for it, shouting as it ran, "Rong Chenzi, so you are here!" Taoist robe.Before he had time to speak, the mussel said out of breath, "Rong Chenzi, Ge Laozi, please help me wash it too!"

Rong Chenzi was annoyed when he heard the words, he was originally a coquettish person, and he hated monsters who ostentatiously and flirtatiously showed off their heads all their lives. Hearing these words now, he somehow thought of those exquisite pair of golden bells tied with red strings. Little Foot, his attitude towards the clam suddenly changed rapidly: "What are you talking about..."

Before he could utter the angry reprimand, the mussel fell into the mountain spring with a thud, and then it turned over and turned into a big black mussel about four feet long.It rubbed against Rong Chenzi, unconsciously: "Zhiguan, help wipe the shell!"

Rong Chenzi felt a slight heat on his face - Rong Chenzi, what are you thinking! !He pulled a piece of dried loofah to clean the shell of the clam.

But the mussels are also responsible for this matter, if you wipe the shells, you can just wipe the shells, and take a bath...

Near the fourth watch, Rong Chenzi polished the mussel until it was shiny, but the mussel fell asleep again, still spitting bubbles in the water.Rong Chenzi carried her back to the bedroom, he sat in meditation for a few days, he had to do scientific rituals during the day, but he couldn't sleep well at night, and he was a little tired.At this moment, looking at the clam sleeping soundly, I inevitably found an excuse in my heart - she is just a clam, or maybe it doesn't need to be so particular.

Thinking of this, he soon came to his senses again, carried the mussel into the secret room, pulled the quilt to cover her after thinking about it, and then went back to the bedroom.

He had been tired for a few days, so it was inevitable that he would fall asleep soundly after touching the pillow.I don't even know when the river mussel touched the bed.After waking up, he was also shocked, but fortunately that guy was still a four-foot big clam, so he was slightly relieved.

Since then, he has made three chapters with He Mum - if he wants to sleep on his couch, he must change back into He Mum.If you want to become a human body, go back to the secret room and sleep on your gums!
The bed in He Mum's secret room is actually very elegant, but He Mum is obviously more interested in Rong Chenzi, and sleeps on his couch every day.She really wants to sleep, but once she turns into a river clam, she can't close her shell, and she often drools when she falls asleep!Moreover, this guy is an aquatic species, with an absolute excess of water in his body, and half a basin of saliva will flow out.

So much so that Dao Tong, who came to make the bed recently, looked at the flood marks on the snow-white sheets... always had a delicate expression...

On this day, Rong Chenzi was invited to attend a Dharma meeting and had to stay away for three or four days.He decided to take his second disciple Qing Su along with him, but before he left, he was afraid that He Mu would follow him again, so he didn't tell her.After explaining the trivial matters in the observation, he asked Qingxuan again: "In the teacher's room... the oyster is probably going to sleep until the end of the day. If she wakes up, remember to deliver food. She is a demon, and is susceptible to the turbidity of the world." , before feeding, you should feed the evil-dispelling talisman water, and the exorcism and refuge incense in the room should not stop."

Qingxuan is not afraid of presiding over Guanzhong affairs, but whenever he mentions this foodie, he gets angry: "Master, what if she wakes up and sees that you are not there, she will make trouble again..."

Rong Chenzi also sighed: "Is there any way, just coax her with whatever she wants, don't start arguing. Remember to add sugar to the talisman water, if it doesn't work, feed candied fruit, she likes sweets."

Qingxuan nodded and wrote it down, and then he went down the mountain.

He Mu slept until Shen Shichu, Qingxuan was afraid that she would make trouble, so he hurriedly delivered meals for four people.She looked left and right, and soon realized something was wrong: "Where is Rong Chenzi?"

Accompanied by Qingxuan, Xinxin held vegetables for her: "Master is out and will be back soon."

She didn't make a fuss, and filled her mouth resentfully.

In the evening, Qingxuan led Guanzhong Junior Brother to do evening class, when he suddenly looked up, he saw this guy bouncing around.Her black hair reached her waist, and her gauze was pure white like a swan's feathers. Although she ate a lot on weekdays, her waist was extremely slender. What was worse was that she was barefoot, and the golden bells on her ankles sounded like golden jade when she walked.

The viewers are all male disciples, have you ever seen such an amorous attitude, all eyes immediately turned into black chickens—this, this, this is the master's legendary tripod?Tsk tsk, don't look at our master who is pure-hearted and ascetic, but has a unique eye for complimenting women...

Qingxuan complained incessantly, and didn't care about chanting sutras, hurriedly went up to meet him, and asked in a low voice: "Why did you come out? Master said when he left, telling you not to run around."

"Who told him to go out to play without taking me!!" He Mu coldly snorted, and his voice gradually became louder, "Ge Laozi, I said it well when I went to bed a few days ago, and I can't count when I get up! I don't believe him anymore Already!!"

"..." All the scriptures in the temple stopped reading, because the elder brother didn't give orders, he didn't dare to get up, but his ears were pricked up.My dear, it turns out that our master, who has always been calm and self-restraining, sometimes talks nonsense on the couch...

Qingxuan almost fainted: "Hush! Why don't you go back first, this time the master is just going to chant scriptures, it's not fun at all. The next time I go out, I will definitely take you. If the old man doesn't take me, will I beg him to take you?"

He Mu's brows were raised upright and his almond eyes were round: "It's not rare!" She sat down on the vacated futon angrily, and the skirts of her feathers were spread out layer by layer, like lilies in full bloom.Qingxuan refused to chase her away, fearing that he would really annoy her, so he had no choice but to let her sit.

On that day, all the disciples recited the scriptures with great vigor.

At night, this guy will have dinner with everyone in the dining hall.The dining hall is somewhat similar to the canteen in the later temples. It is a large kitchen with a row of large stone water tanks outside. Inside, there is a large stove for hundreds of people to eat. There is a pottery rice tank with flour and beans. .

There is a vegetable garden outside the kitchen, and the disciples of the Guanzhong take turns carrying water, chopping firewood, and managing the vegetable garden every morning.

There are more than ten large round tables separated from the kitchen by a wall, and there are huge wooden buckets with rice in them on the counter table next to them.Her previous meals were all cooked in the kitchen and sent to Rong Chenzi's bedroom.Daoist Huogong didn't dare to be ambiguous about eating here today - even if it is a tripod, it is also used by Master.If you really want to talk about it, it's the teacher's wife, and she looks delicate, and the master is usually serious and dignified, and she must be very fond of her in private.

Now that the master is not here, she must not be left hungry.

Because of this level of thinking, several Huogong Taoists who were in charge of cooking took out all their skills, cooked some special dishes, and set a table for her, naturally no one dared to sit with her.The disciples around cast all kinds of gazes from time to time, Qingxuan shook his head sadly: "Don't look at it, you will be disillusioned..."

As a result, under Bailai's eyes, this guy only ate half a bowl of rice, and then she put down her chopsticks: "They keep looking at me, I can't eat it!"

Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Then you go back to the master's room first, and I will send it over later."

He Mu nodded, after walking for a long time, she felt a little sleepy again, bouncing up and down towards Rong Chenzi's bedroom.

And that night, when Rong Chenzi left Qingxu Temple on his front foot, monsters came to make trouble on his back foot.The mussels were soundly asleep when they heard the commotion outside.She yawned and got up.Seeing the bright lights in Qingxu Temple, all the little Taoist priests put up talismans everywhere.

She wandered around the temple aimlessly, Qingxuan Zhenghe led two capable disciples to look around, the other disciples were not easy to talk to her, so they had to let her wander around.

In places like Sanqing Hall, Siyu Hall, and Jade Emperor Hall, monsters would not dare to approach easily, but she practiced the righteous way, so she was not afraid of the true god.

After wandering around for a long time, I found that there are still many abandoned kittens and puppies in Qingxu Temple.She squatted on the ground and played with them for a while, and it was getting late.The Qingxu Temple has quieted down, and the lights in the hall have begun to go out.

She saw a little Taoist walking in the dark, stumbling, and immediately went up and patted him on the shoulder: "What are you grabbing for?"

The little Taoist turned around abruptly, his neck was empty, and his voice was gloomy: "My head... have you seen my head..."

"..." The clam was stunned for a moment, then shook its head, "You're looking for heads, so let's look separately. I'll find food for you while you're looking for heads, and when you're looking for heads, take a look to see if there's anything to eat... "

The headless ghost seemed dissatisfied with the result, and immediately stretched out his hand to choke her neck. She seemed to have no mana, but luckily, he managed to choke her to death for a while.After struggling for a long time, he finally yelled out Qingxuan.

Qingxuan went to see her in the room before going to bed, and was looking around when she was not there.He is Rong Chenzi's big disciple, and dealing with a headless ghost is a piece of cake, and he took the thing away in a jar in an instant.

The clam was still shouting, and Qingxuan was also puzzled—this Sea Emperor is too timid!After all, she is also a demon, so scared by a kid like this!
Then He Mu didn't think so, she rubbed her neck desperately, with a look of disbelief: "Qingxuan, it's choking my neck!! Woohoo, it's choking my neck!!"

Qingxuan sealed the mouth of the altar with a yellow talisman, and casually comforted her: "I'm going to burn it now!"

The river clam tugged at his sleeve, with an angry expression on his face: "It strangled my neck!! It's so stupid, how could it strangle my neck, it didn't even wash its hands!!"

Qing Xuan absolutely fell.

It was almost dawn, and in the woods of Qingxuguan, the two Taoists put away the magical artifacts, the yellow talisman and the little ghost, and sneaked away—it seemed that the woman was indeed not the Emperor of the Sea.
