Seeing Lao Lu walking down the slope, Yun Zhong wanted to get up and hold him back, but in the end he didn't move.
When Liu Qing saw this, there was indeed some praise in his eyes; unlike the young man, he and his second junior brother stayed under Wu Shuang's sect for a very long time, especially Liu Qing himself who had been guarding the mountain gate for ten years. The scene did not leave even ten miles outside the mountain gate. Naturally, Master's words were heard very clearly.
Wu Shuang once said, no matter it is any profession in the world, no matter whether it is a porter doing manual labor in the rivers and lakes, or a low-income person weaving mats and selling shoes in the market, never feel pity for others and extend your hand; it is not a pity. Those few copper coins, but each profession has its own rules, everyone has their own rules and regulations, and they should not care about how others behave. They chatter like a yellow-faced woman all day long, talking about cultivating Taoism and self-discipline and walking in the world.
Although these words were said in a very scornful tone, when Liu listened to them, they did make him taste a lot of things.
How do others choose, how do they behave, and what does they have to do with others? If you only know how to persuade and persuade others to stay, you will undoubtedly fall into the inferior category. If you keep chattering away and meet some unscrupulous masters, you will incur a lot of boredom.
Pretending to sleep soundly, no one can wake him up, this is probably the reason, not to mention that the man's choice of this path is indeed righteous.
Anyone else would have absolutely no reason to force him to stay.
Since Yunzhong could figure this out at his age, Liu Qing felt that he had done another favor for his junior brother.
"Junior brother, it's getting late, why not take a rest for the night, wait until the fatigue dissipates, and come with me back to the mountain gate to meet the master early tomorrow morning?" Liu Qing always spoke in a leisurely manner, even though he had just entered the Three Realms Zhang Weilu was so stressed that he couldn't lift his head, and his tone was still as usual, extremely slow.
"Go to sleep later." The young man hesitated for a moment, glanced at the scholar's tattered clothes, and said a little awkwardly, "Senior brother, if you are tired from the journey, you can go to the car tent to rest first. There is a cart with miscellaneous goods parked in front. The tent is what Master left for me. If you don’t mind the mess inside, I’ll make do with it for one night.”
I don't know if he heard this, Senior Brother, Liu Qing suddenly felt a little happy, and said with a faint smile, "That's not some bully. If you talk about age, this bully you call is probably older than our master." It’s better to grow older.”
The boy was horrified. Judging from Wu Shuang's appearance alone, he is probably of about the same age. If this horse is several years older than his master, then it means that at this age, the horse should have lived for more than forty years. How can the world Are there such weird horses?
Liu Qing saw the young man's shrinking neck and angry look, and immediately laughed heartily and said, "Junior brother, there is no need to worry. This matter was caused by my master drinking too much in the early years. He accidentally mentioned it to me when he was drunk. If there is really something weird, what happened to our master?" I will take it with me confidently and boldly.”
The young man thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case, so he breathed a sigh of relief and waited for his senior brother to speak.
Liu Qing nodded, took out two pears from nowhere and handed them to the young man, and continued, "Junior brother is from Daqi, so he probably doesn't know about all the rare rumors in Yizhang, so I would like to take this opportunity to talk to you. Some interesting facts about Nangong Mountain. Nangong Mountain was not originally a mountain, but a very deep abyss. As for why it became a mountain, it is probably because of this beast you are talking about. "
"It happened that when our master was passing by, he saw a beast that looked like a horse but not a horse, swimming in the water. It looked interesting, so he stopped not far away to look at it, and it was time to rest. The beast stirred up the bottomless pool. It was constantly turbid, and when it was stirred, the bottom of the lake slowly rose up for some reason, until the vast pool was empty, but there was a majestic and dangerous peak, which rose up from the ground after grazing my master's face, scaring our master so much that he scolded his mother. "
The young man was so entranced that he completely forgot about the two pears in his hand.
"The average person would have been so frightened by this sight that his legs would tremble and he would have run away thinking that his parents did not have two strong legs. No matter how small the courage was, he would probably not be able to use his legs and would fall limp. The land is unknown yet. But you should know the nature of our master." Liu Qing smiled slightly at the young man, with a sudden pride in his eyebrows, "Our master walked up the mountain with his sword, and then he fought with the beast. "
At this moment, Liu Qing did not have the style that Senior Brother Nangongshan should have. Even his usually gentle and soft words were trembling slightly. Compared with the gentle and gentle scholar, he was more like a talkative scholar. The subtle storyteller was in high spirits, as if he was the one who was wrestling with the supernatural beasts that day.
"Fortunately, after the strange beast crossed the water and conquered the mountains, it seemed to have lost its mind a little. Even the colorful cloud-like fur on its body had dimmed, and the originally majestic claws and horns had returned to themselves, turning into the appearance of a mortal horse and settling down. . If not, I’m afraid even the master at that time would have to stay away from the spotlight for a while.”
The young man nodded, "No wonder, no one can see clearly the depth of this beast, and he is extremely spiritual. It turns out that he is not an ordinary person." But after thinking about it, a chill came up on the young man's neck again, so he still hesitated to ask, "Senior brother, I have offended that horse a lot along the way. Not to mention pulling two of its manes when I have nothing to do, and even slapping the horse's tail is common. If this big horse comes back to his senses one day, he will be born again. The horned claws can’t trample me into pieces and swallow me alive, what will I do at that time?”
Liu Qing had just finished speaking, and was still immersed in the power of his master. Hearing the young man's words, he was a little stunned, "Junior brother, master's sword is used to subdue demons, why don't you think it's magical at all?"
The young man was confused when asked, "I have encountered so many strange things along the way that I have become somewhat accustomed to them. Besides, isn't our master always behaving like this?"
The eldest brother was so happy that he realized that he had lost his composure, so he changed back to his leisurely scholarly appearance and said to the young man, "Of course it's a good thing not to be alarmed when things happen, but with our master's feats ahead of us, you and I are the ones who should Disciple, naturally you have to be more diligent. Well, it's late, so let's not talk about anything else. Let's eat the pears first and go to the carriage to rest. Senior brother has some trivial matters, so I'll go to bed later."
Yun Zhong said okay, and ran to the carriage with two pockmarked old pears in his arms.
"It seems that my junior brother is really young and mature. I originally thought this matter would be extremely difficult, but now it seems that it is just a matter of care."
Since we are human beings, sooner or later we have to get used to the pain of separation before we can step up the mountain.
That's just the way things are.
It’s just that you know it’s easy, but it’s hard to do it.
The scholar looked at a lone lamp in the carriage down the mountain and said thank you.
The lights went out.
After Yun Zhong finished eating the pear, he wiped another larger pear clean and placed it in a conspicuous place on the car tent. He wrapped himself in clothes and fell asleep.
