The boy in a short shirt slapped his cheeks with both hands, trying to wake himself up as much as possible and no longer think about the Taoist priest who had done all kinds of bad things.
But when he looked at the old liar and the Taoist Shen in front of him again. . . Lin Manliu was a little confused, why was Ye Dangting willing to chat with the little Taoist priest in front of him?
Isn’t there something important to do at this time, to find the parachute bearer? Originally, the old liar was praising the Taoist Shen in front of him, but the little girl with braids suddenly spoke up.
"Ahem... I'm sorry for praising poor people. Let's get back to the topic. We can't let you just walk away after bullying the villagers like this!" Ye Dang also saw the tricks after hearing this. I used all the methods of face.
"Oh, what I said earlier...are all in vain, Taoist Shen, my nephew and I are also miserable people!"
"Just do it, Taoist Master Shen, please spare the two of us!"
"When the two of us leave, we must pray for the Taoist Priest and burn incense..." Faced with the old liar's verbal attack, the little girl seemed a little bored or unable to resist.
He could only smack his lips, and then said: "Stop, stop, stop, there are so many twists and turns in my stomach all day long, it's annoying to death!"
"Okay!" Ye Dangting responded immediately and said no more words.
"That's the way the folk customs are here. Everyone wants to live a good life. I know your intention is not to bully the folks, but you shouldn't scare them like this..." The Taoist Master Shen suddenly said seriously.
From the moment the first word of this sentence was uttered, the boy in short shirt felt that the little girl in front of him suddenly changed in aura!
It's like he suddenly changed into a different person, and he can't see through the depth of this person at all. . .
"Hey... there's something wrong with the old liar..." Lin Manliu reminded Ye Dang in a low voice.
"It doesn't matter. If my guess is correct, it is Taoist Shen who is coming to find us today..." Ye Dangting turned his head in response and continued to look at Taoist Shen in front of him.
"Since you knew Pindao's intention from the beginning, why bother?" Taoist Shen chuckled.
"Naturally, we won't know it from the beginning. We can only confirm it after talking to the Taoist priest!" Ye Dang made a gesture of invitation towards the alleyway at the same time as he heard this.
But the Taoist Shen in front of him did not walk directly in the direction Ye Dangting pointed. Instead, he took out a stone from his sleeve and threw it casually on the ground.
The conversation between the two changed from the previous flattery to the scene before them, leaving Lin Manliu alone, wondering what happened.
Faced with the current strange behavior, the boy in short shirt only felt that this was still okay. . . I really shouldn't have asked Ye Dangting.
"Okay..." The little girl looked at the stones on the ground, said something to herself, and then jumped away in the direction Ye Dangting pointed.
Ye Dang heard a gesture to Lin Manliu and walked towards the alley. The young man in short shirt had no choice but to hold his own Xiao Huang and follow him.
. .
"I guess you haven't figured it out yet, but do you still remember the Taoist temple I told you about on the way back to Southern Xinjiang for the first time?" Ye Dang said aloud.
Mountain and rock view? Lin Manliu nodded without saying anything, looking at the figure of Taoist Shen cautiously. . .
Could she be from that Taoist temple? There may have been speculation before that Zhou Mo came from the mountain stone temple, but now we actually encountered another one in Yangzhou?
"Don't give me any identity, I'm not a Taoist priest from Shanshi Temple!" the little girl walking in front said.
This sentence shocked the young man in the short shirt even more. He had never said anything, and Ye Dangting did not name him by name. She would have known.
. .
"See how surprised you are... Have you forgotten Zhou Mo's method before? Since Taoist Shen knows it, I don't have to hide it..." Ye Dangting looked at Lin Manliu with disgust, and then looked at the little girl in front of him. The direction shouted.
"You can say whatever you want, it has nothing to do with me anyway..." Taoist Master Shen put his hands behind his back, turned to look at the two of them, and grinned.
"Taoist Master Shen's previous move can be regarded as the method of 'throwing stones to ask for directions', and the method of Zhou Mo is the method of 'tortoise shell interpretation of hexagrams', both originating from the mountain stone temple..."
"And we meet again today, because she asked about the way between you and me, so that's why..."
"It's the path for the three of us!" Priest Shen Xiao corrected in front. Hearing what the old liar said was confusing, the young man who didn't quite believe in the methods of these Taoist priests found it even more difficult to understand the meaning.
"In short, that Taoist Master Shen is waiting for us on purpose, right? Now we should go there instead of looking for that person?" The boy in a short shirt cried bitterly.
"That's it. We're here, let's go in and talk!" Ye Dangting nodded and said. At this time, the three of them had walked out of the alley and arrived at the entrance of a courtyard.
The old liar in yellow shirt pushed open the door and walked in, followed by Taoist Shen. Lin Manliu led the horse and finally walked into the courtyard.
The furnishings in the courtyard are a bit old, but they don't look dusty at all. Someone must be here to clean them all the time.
This should be the residence where Ye Dangting came here before. . . There was actually someone cleaning it. Priest Shen Xiao was extremely casual and sat down on the stone steps under the eaves.
Ye Dangting moved two chairs out of the side room, placed them in the middle of the courtyard, and sat down first.
After Lin Manliu tied up the two horses, he sat next to the old liar.
"Let's get down to business. It's time for me to get bored. Two people will be here today... Believe it or not!" The Taoist Master Shen was the first to speak out.
"It's natural to believe. I've been bothering the Taoist priest for a long time, and I have something to ask for..." Ye Dangting nodded.
"Find someone?"
"I won't trouble the Taoist priest about finding someone. It's a matter for the future. I want to discuss it with the Taoist priest..."
"Then I won't accompany you. I don't have the time!"
"Taoist Priest, please help yourself..." Taoist Priest Shen got up and was about to walk out, but she was almost outside the door. Seeing that Ye Dangting still didn't move, she came back and sat on the stone steps again. .
"...You won't give me the same advice as before? What will you do if you really leave?"
"It's about Taoist Shen's search for an immortal. I have someone to choose from. Naturally, I'm not afraid of Taoist Priest walking away..." Ye Dang laughed out loud.
have to. . . He must be an old liar. . .
"How long will we stay in Yangzhou and when will we leave?" The Taoist Master Shen had no choice but to turn his braid with one hand and said aloud.
"It should only take a day or two... After taking a short rest today, we can enter the city!" Ye Dang responded.
"Can I help you two find an answer to the missing person matter?"
"It's best if it doesn't get in the way!" Taoist Shen took out another stone from somewhere in his sleeve and was about to throw it to the ground.
The boy in a short shirt immediately shouted: "Wait a minute!" The little girl with braids looked at Lin Manliu and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Are you still not willing to help you find someone?"
"No...I have seen with my own eyes Zhou Mo's 'Turtle Shell Jie Gua' method, and the mountain and stone viewing method that matches it, can it also backfire on me?" Lin Manliu stared at the little girl's hand. Shizi said aloud.
Whether it was in the goat dam or in the maple leaf forest, he had seen Zhou Mo's miserable state. Although I don’t know the principle behind it, these so-called Taoisms are so overbearing.
of the person in front of me
"To ask for directions" should not be used so casually. . .
"Hey, are you worried that my method is a way to spy on the secrets of heaven? It's just some ordinary tricks..." Taoist Shen Xiao said with a wave of his hand.
"Then helping to find someone...isn't it just spying on the secrets..." The young man who didn't believe in the law had no choice but to answer.
"Hey, I said it's a little trick, it's a little trick, it doesn't get in the way! Didn't you look at me before and I was just playing it!"
"Believe me, Mrs. Shen, there is no need to worry too much, she has her own sense of proportion..."
"Oh..." Taoist Master Shen Xiao chuckled and threw the stone in his hand towards the ground casually. The pebbles fell into the mud, making no difference.
But this time, she didn't speak immediately, but looked at the stone on the ground for a long time.
"Has Taoist Shen seen anything? Will the search for people in Yangzhou City go smoothly this time?" Ye Dangting asked as he watched Taoist Shen stand up slowly.
"...We can find it tonight. Let's set off later!" Shen Xiaodao was silent for a while, then looked at the two people in the middle of the courtyard.
"Thank you in advance, Taoist Shen!" Ye Dangting saluted him.
"This place is quite clean. Give me the main house...call me when you enter the city!" The little girl walked towards the house without any discussion with the two of them.
Lin Manliu looked at this scene and felt mysterious, and had no other thoughts.
"You were worried about her safety before, because like Zhou Mo, she must also know that there is no need to be too entangled in the Taoism of these mountain stone temples!" Ye Dangting turned to look at the sad young man and said.
"Hmm..." The boy in a short shirt nodded with difficulty. After entering the main house, the little girl found the position of the couch in the house and quickly jumped on the couch.
Before he could even take off his shoes and socks, he fell asleep soundly. . . In the next two hours. . . Lin Manliu took some money from Ye Dangting and returned it to the villagers in the town to buy some dry food and water.
By the way, I asked him some more information about Shanshi Temple, so as to slowly accept these Taoist teachings.
Until the sun was about to set, the door of the main house opened from the inside to the outside. Taoist Shen rubbed his eyes and walked out. He saw Ye Dangting and Lin Manliu waiting quietly outside with strange expressions.
"Ahem... This is the first time I have seen this scene. I feel ashamed... I feel ashamed..."
"It doesn't matter, this is how I treat guests at Yijian Villa!" Ye Dang looked at Taoist Shen Xiao with a smile.
"Let's go into the city..." Taoist Shen shouted, but before she could even take two steps, there was some noise in her lower abdomen.
. .
"I just bought some food from the folks' homes and gave it to Taoist Shen!" Lin Manliu held back his laughter this time and reached out to hand out a piece of dry food to the little girl in front of him.
"Well, let's get on with it!"
"Indeed, I learned very quickly!" After hearing the two people's words, Lin Manliu sighed in his heart, why do he feel that he has the same temperament as the older and younger people?
