The little Taoist boy who was supposed to go back to the mountain failed to do so for two days in a row.
I don't know why Yun Zhong has been particularly interested in looking at an old tree outside Yaoliao in recent days. He has been sitting there all day long. During this period, he rarely spoke. At most, he saw the Taoist boy who was planning to leave before dawn. , chatted for a few words, and then moved his eyes to a few dead and withered leaves on the crown of the old tree. As for the whereabouts of the Taoist boy, he never asked, and he cherished the words like gold, staring at the tree. No matter how you look at it, it looks like an ordinary old tree. Occasionally, when three or two birds stop by, the eyes will show some excitement, but it shrinks so fast that no one can notice anything strange.
Come and try it quickly. 】
But even if Yun Zhong didn't say much, the dragon that turned from green to red in his wrist would appear from time to time, especially when the Taoist boy was about to leave, whether he was walking through the front door or the backyard, or simply planning to take a hundred feet in one step. A red dragon stretched out its head and waggled its tail from the front of the medicine house, and its expression became more and more vivid. It stretched for dozens of feet and circled not far away from the Taoist boy. It bared its teeth, its scales shook, and its yellow eyes stared at him who was about to leave. The Taoist boy who went there was quite provocative. It's probably like what people say, if you want to leave here, you might as well give it a try and see which one is more powerful, you or us, but who can afford to lose and who can't, it's better to think carefully before adding Decide.
Although the Taoist boy has always been very courageous, but now this dragon, which has shed its green and yellow color, has an extremely high aura even without using its magical powers. Yue Mo is already a member of the fifth floor of the same cultivator, so there is not much difference, so he can only I can tolerate it for the time being, but my expression has been a little ugly for several days, especially when I am having dinner with a few people, when Yunzhong is present, he will not move his dishes or chopsticks.
Li Fu'an also often looked at Yun Zhong's expression, but he had never seen such an indifferent expression on the latter's face. He wanted to make a joke or say two or three witty words to break the situation, but it was difficult to open his mouth and he had to hold it tight. , at most, I just chatted with the old doctor for a few words. Even when I went out recently to follow the doctor around for consultation, I was a little absent-minded.
It was an old tree with only a few broken and shriveled leaves left. Yun Zhong had seen the scenery for several days. At first, there was still a look of energy in his eyes, but in the end, it was like well water that had not seen any disturbance and no yellow leaves had fallen. There was no more unnecessary look. Rather than saying that the mind is gradually calming down, it is better to say that it has changed from an ancient and clumsy sword to a blunt sword without an edge. Now it is not even half sharp. All the energy in the body is gone, even if the Taoist boy has nothing to do. Sitting on the threshold of the medicine house, frowning and looking at the back, I couldn't tell what state this man was in. It seemed that he was sitting here, ignoring the red dragon whose energy suddenly rose. He is just a very ordinary ordinary person. He neither looks like a swordsman nor a practitioner. If I have to say it, he looks very much like the old Taoist on Feilai Peak, like many ascetics I have seen since coming down the mountain. Public. But as a person from Nangong Mountain, according to the Taoist thought, he should not have such a power in any case. In the Nangong Mountain where Wu Shuang, who can be said to be half a master, has never had the current Yun Such a person.
In the past few days when Yun Zhong sat in front of Yaoliao and looked at the trees, the city was not at peace. It was because of the appearance of the red dragon standing on the tall building that day that it caused quite a disturbance, but it was quickly suppressed by the wealthy businessman. , before word spread, even the maid who fainted from fright that day never showed up again. On the contrary, a few days later, the wealthy businessman with a pitted face and a stooped waist found himself in front of the medicine house, not far away. Everywhere he saw Yun Zhong with criss-crossed red ropes on his wrists, dressed in white and sitting cross-legged under the tree. When he came three or five steps closer again, there was originally nothing behind the young man, but a red dragon appeared out of thin air. He half-closed his eyes and The head resting on the shoulder of the man in white does not look like a magical dragon found in books, but more like a civet cat taking a nap in the late afternoon.
After all, the Taoist talisman still blocks the eyes of others, but once you enter this courtyard, it is completely unobstructed. Therefore, even a fat businessman who can be said to be well-informed is also shocked by this red dragon and breaks into a cold sweat.
"Brother, I must have something to do when I come here. I don't know if I'm here to find the doctor or to find me. If I'm looking for you, you can leave. After all, practitioners don't show their faces. If they show their faces, according to the rules, the living people should be wiped out." The cloud under the tree. Zhong Heye opened his mouth and then looked at the merchant who was trying to calm down his thoughts. It didn't take a lot of looking at him to know that he was from a wealthy family, and he actually said, "Of course, if you are willing to grant some benefits and keep it secret, it's not impossible to keep it." Life is safe.”
Chilong, who was lying on Yun Zhong's shoulder, raised his head, glanced at the merchant first, and then at Yun Zhong. His eyes turned white, as if he looked down on Yun Zhong's deep-rooted money-keeping temperament, but he didn't try again. The merchant, who was frightened and turned pale, continued to take a nap with his eyes slightly closed. The red neck manes were loosely scattered on Yun Zhong's chest, and there were a few broken plum blossoms falling in front of the snow-white ground.
"It's a pity. My little brother's ability must be amazing, but he is a little indifferent. He is willing to let his pearls fall into dust. I had known this, but today it is a bit unnecessary." The fat businessman with a pockmarked face took a deep breath, and white sweat appeared on his forehead. Before it faded away, what he said made Yun Zhong return his eyes to this person and scanned them carefully.
"It's rare that there are still people who served in the army in the peaceful years. The knife went in from the back and came out from the lower abdomen. If the treatment was delayed, he would have died. If he hadn't been lucky, he wouldn't have survived the injury. It's a pity that it burst out. I still broke several main tendons and almost broke a keel, which made it difficult to straighten my back. But it is not easy to save a life, so why are you willing to come to the door to die." When the words fell, the red dragon flew into the air and approached the man. The fat merchant took a few steps, his fine scales opened and closed and trembled, and his long teeth were fully visible.
"Why did you come to the door to lead the dead? In the past and present, whoever has been able to obtain all the wealth and power probably has to have a sharp ear and nose, listen to the wind from all directions, and smell the fragrance of wine from ten miles away. It is true that my little brother is from the mountains, and he also needs to know that in today's world, Walking up and down the mountain is not necessarily very strenuous. Fame, power and wealth are never far away for people in the mountains, so they feel that they are within easy reach. However, the wealth and power that others talk about are the same as the wealth and power that I talk about. They are ants in the valley. Chang Yun is definitely not comparable to me, but I really don’t have much ability except to accumulate money, so I am willing to risk my life and death to get a good business, but it is a pity that my little brother does not have this ambition, so he sighs like this."
The red dragon stared at the merchant for a few seconds before slowly retreating.
"Take a desperate risk. It seems that the benefits at hand are indeed not shallow. After all, I think I can attract the attention of the people in the mountains. This business seems to be quite good. It must be inseparable from the recent turmoil in Xia Song, but it still needs to be done for a while. Wait for two days, I have something to do, and I will come again in two or three days. How to do business, how to make the income to satisfy you and me, I have to rely on my brother to make the decision." Yun Zhong, who had not moved for a long time, stood up, with a look on his face. With a faint smile, he said, "Yun Zhong, I come from a humble family and my relatives are not here, so I have no words to express."
"Wei Xiwu, who also has no nickname, is estimated to be twenty years old. His background is so low that he may not even have a name."
When leaving Yaoliao, Wei Xiwu didn't bother to wipe off the cold sweat on his face. He stood outside the street for a long time, but he saw that the flying snow in the sky was extremely powerful. The large snowflakes did not break with the wind, and they were numb like a slap. On his face, it looked like he had followed the military formation when he was young and walked through the boundless pass. The wind and sand covered the snow, and the layers of his face were beaten to pieces. In fact, even his waist, which had not been straightened for nearly half his life, was straightened up a lot. He looked towards the few people in the alley. The armored man hidden in the darkness of the flying snow grinned widely, and the sound of wind quickly filled his mouth.
After all, this unknown business has taken the most dangerous step. Fortunately, he still has the courage to crawl among the corpses.
Yun Zhong, who was dressed in white in Feixue, still planned to continue sitting under the tree, and did not notice the Taoist boy sitting in front of the Yaoliao door behind him. The threshold of Yaoliao is extremely high. Not long ago, the doctor explained to the Taoist boy that as soon as he entered this door, there should be such a high or low threshold separating the patient from the rest of the world. The reason why it is not high is because ordinary people are very It is easy to cross this threshold, but it is not because the person who is seriously ill has a life-and-death barrier in front of him. How to cross it when you are weak is a reminder for those who are seeking medical treatment. Even if you enter this door, , you may not be able to walk out of the door standing up, it is a destiny of life and death, and it is also a matter of life and death. Furthermore, if you put more effort when entering the medicine house, you can always put away your frivolous thoughts, which is quite a wonderful arrangement.
The Taoist boy was still very small, so he sat on the rather high threshold with his feet hanging to the ground. He could sway with his legs slightly. At this moment, he was swaying his feet and looking towards the tree.
"After several years of separation, is Daoshou still okay?"
Yun Zhong blurted out a sentence without any warning, which made the Taoist boy suddenly feel a little overwhelmed and did not respond.
"Back then, I was good at grilling fish, but now that I think about it, there are very few techniques that can be praised by others. As time goes by, there are not many things that can be changed, and it is still difficult to achieve what I want with nothing. It's like the same world when there is no way to go to heaven and no door to earth. All the prayers of immortals, Buddhas, gods and men have finally been taken care of. Now I feel that this is very good. In the past, all the rules, morals and etiquette were taken too seriously, but they were like carrying a heavy mountain. Now I have secretly learned how to remove the armor of the giant spirit, which is rare. I feel very at ease all over my body. They say that some people achieve great things because they do everything without scruples, but if you don’t have the power to tie a chicken, it can’t compare to the strength of your arms.”
"To be honest, I never left my body with the sword because when I put down the sword, I seemed to have put aside my little talent in the way of the sword. I was naked with all my flesh and blood and faced all the difficulties in the world. It was even more difficult for me to move forward. But finally Now I have abilities and realms that I didn't have before. Whether I like swords or not doesn't matter that much to me. I feel very comfortable being able to stand where I am and seek something for myself."
"I have been in the world for a long time, and now I am thinking about my first life. I drink from streams when I am thirsty, and eat from mountains and forests when I am hungry. So in your opinion, am I good or evil, a human or a monster?"
The Taoist boy was silent and walked back to his residence with his eyebrows lowered and his shoulders slumped. He threw the package aside, but he always felt that what Yun Zhong said should not be like this.
