The six people who returned from the west of the city were told by the disciples of Yijian Villa as soon as they entered the village that they could go directly to the main hall to meet Lu Fengbai.
This made Qingjiang Yin's class leader very happy, and he urged the boy in short shirt to lead the way quickly. Lin Manliu had no choice but to take the two of them to the main hall of the villa.
As soon as he stepped onto the threshold of the courtyard, the young man found that the white robe had already stopped at the door of the main hall. Lu Fengbai spoke up: "The two guests must be Qingjiang Yin's Master Yin and Mr. Su..." Lin Manliu reminded in a low voice: "Master Yin, this is our Master Lu." The woman in green skirt
He said "Huh", then opened his eyes wide and looked up and down at the white-robed figure. Su Yiying coughed behind him to remind him, but the Yin leader still did not look away, as if he wanted to remember the person in front of him carefully no matter what.
Su Yiying had no choice but to hug Lu Fengbai.
"The leader of the class has heard the name of Master Lu in the early years. When he heard the interesting things related to Master Lu, he always talked about it with the people in the team. When I saw him today, he inevitably wanted to take a closer look..." Lu Fengbai said aloud. : "It's okay. When Senior Sister Chen Qi sent a letter back to the village, Lu wanted to make friends with Qing Jiangyin. Please come to the palace to talk about it!" Just watch the white-robed figure finish speaking, and then the whole person stood sideways, He raised his hand and waved it.
"please" gesture. The woman in the green dress laughed out loud: "Thank you, Master Lu!" Lin Manliu took a step forward and was about to guide the two of them into the main hall, but heard Lu Fengbai's words.
"Man Liu, the Taoist priest of Zhouxiao has something to discuss with you. You can go to the backyard now, or you can go later..." After hearing this, the boy in a short shirt immediately raised his hands and saluted.
"Man Liu will go to the backyard now!" Lu Fengbai nodded, looked at the young man's salute and chuckled, then turned around and entered the main hall.
After Lin Manliu said goodbye to Team Leader Yin and Mr. Su, he said hello to Xue Tang and others, and trotted away to the backyard.
Bai Zi stepped onto the steps, looked at the young man's back, and couldn't help but sigh.
"This kid Man Liu, should I say he is obedient or not very smart?" He had heard the reason why Lin Man Liu didn't like Zhou Mo.
In his opinion, the proposal just now could be rejected or considered later. It was not that Lu Feng mentioned it in vain, Lin Manliu had to do it immediately.
Chong Ying responded: "Senior Brother Bai still spends less time with Man Liu. He went to see Zhou Mo more out of his trust in Master Lu." Xue Tang pressed the pink clothes with one hand. On the young man's head, he joked: "You can't tell, not only has Manliu grown up, our brother Chong has also grown a lot of brains!" After listening to the words of several people, Su Yiying also glanced at The figure of the young man had already run away.
What he recalled was what happened in the restaurant just now. For that young man in a short shirt, he must have his own personal opinions and methods of doing things, and only in this way can he achieve his current glory.
...Lin Manliu trotted all the way. No matter how big the Yijian Villa was, the boy would have to run to the backyard of the Villa to rest in a short while.
When I passed by my parents' yard and the old liar's small yard just now, I saw some smoke rising from the kitchen.
He counted the time and it was almost time for dinner. After talking to Na Zhou Moyan later, he will go to his parents' place and not bother the old liar.
The boy in a short shirt walked to the courtyard where Zhou Mo lived, stopped and looked at the overgrown weeds around the courtyard.
I couldn't help but feel helpless... Not to mention Zhou Mo's withdrawn personality, he didn't even want to trim the flowers and plants in front of his door.
If he talks about some of his weird theories later, it will be hard to argue with him! Lin Manliu raised his wrist and was about to knock on the door when he heard a lazy sound coming from the courtyard.
"Come in, the door is unlocked..." The boy in a short shirt pushed the door open and saw Zhou Mo's figure as soon as he entered.
This young Taoist priest got another Taoist robe from somewhere, and it looked different from the luxurious and extravagant style of the Star Temple.
The clothing is extremely simple, and there are no Taoist patterns to embellish it. It is just a white Taoist robe.
Naturally, there was a bun on his head, with a low-quality jade hairpin lying across the bun.
Lin Manliu said in a poor tone, "I wonder what Chief Zhou wants to see me for?" Zhou Mo seemed not to have heard the young man's tone, and spoke with the same timbre and color as before.
"Xiaodao has done the math recently, Lin Manliu, what you want in your heart can only be solved by Xiaodao!" Lin Manliu went through his thoughts and remembered the conversation he had with Priest Shen Xiaodao a few days ago.
He then said: "There is no need to bother Taoist Zhou. I have already asked Taoist Shen for the answer. If there is nothing else, I will go back to the front yard to welcome the guests..." After the boy in short shirt finished speaking, he got ready. Turn around and leave.
Zhou Mo laughed and said, "Lin Manliu, what do you really want in your heart is the love between children?" Lin Manliu didn't reply, just stopped.
Zhou Mo said again: "Why did you go to the south of the Yangtze River and travel far away with your sword?" Because of the promise to the master, the news needed to be sent back to Yijian Villa.
Zhou Mo waved his sleeves with both hands, turned his back to the boy, took a step toward the house, and then spoke again.
"When a young boy from southern Xinjiang entered the world for the first time, he almost lost his life when he saw the situation where heroes from all walks of life were fighting for it. Why did he still insist on moving forward?" Because it might affect his family, relatives, friends, masters, and elders, he couldn't stop, and he had to After the tragedy of the caravan, the folks in Fengcheng should give an explanation.
Lin Manliu turned around and looked sideways at the back of the Taoist robe. Zhou Mo took another step forward, his tone tending to be frivolous.
"Now that the truth is out in the world, and the investigation at Yijian Villa is over, why don't you take your family to find a place and live a stable life?" Why... are you still stuck in this quagmire?
Lin Manliu turned around and stared at Zhou Mo's back, and the Taoist robe finally stopped.
"Do you have self-awareness and feel that your current status is not worthy of your Miss Yue who knows her identity?" The boy in a short shirt replied loudly: "Probably not..." Zhou Mo smiled playfully and began to pretend to be deep in thought. Let Lin Manliu look at him.
After a few breaths, the Taoist figure continued to speak.
"That's because after experiencing the rivers and lakes, and being influenced by these powers and positions, you also want to stay on one side and be the free and easy king of the mountain?" The boy in the short shirt still replied as before, it should not be... Zhou Mo rolled up his sleeves , no longer laughing.
He spoke slowly: "Then Lin Manliu, why don't you retreat? What do you want to do?" Lin Manliu remained silent and did not immediately respond to the question in the Taoist robe.
Zhou Mo said in a cold voice: "According to what I asked before, you don't have any of the seven emotions except sadness and anger, but you only have these two emotions, sadness and anger. How do you explain it?" Sad on the long journey, Compassion for the tragedy and tragedy we saw?
Lin Manliu said: "It should not be..." Indeed, the young man traveled thousands of miles and saw too many people who should not have died early, and things that should not have been cut off.
But for him, Lin Manliu, these were not enough to support the compassion in his heart. The anger caused by those people who did evil things and wantonly killed people behind the tragedy?
Lin Manliu shook his head and said, it probably wasn't the case... I traveled through the world several times during this trip. I saw hypocrites who sang generously in front of others and used all their tricks behind others. I also saw hypocrites who calculated all their power just for themselves. What a selfish villain.
But for these people, I feel more of disgust than resentment for their actions. The answer and reaction of the boy in short shirt seemed to be in Zhou Mo's eyes.
Zhou Mo said: "So I said, what you want in your heart can only be solved by small ways!"
"The Taoist robe in front of Lin Manliu's eyes, after finishing his words, he raised his foot and drew a horizontal and vertical line on the ground.
"The two objects at the foot of the trail can be used as references for your future life and all the things you will encounter..." Zhou Mo said, adding another horizontal line, passing through a vertical line, and then continued to move forward.
"Because of your encounter with your master last year, you entered this world for the first time, and it is difficult for you to escape..." Zhou Mo kicked again, and drew another line behind the vertical line that had already passed through it. A vertical line cuts off the horizontal line again.
"But all the things in the world will erode your mind. The carefree young man who was born in Fengcheng will never come back..." After saying this, Zhou Mo did not make any gestures to the ground. .
Because the future results have already appeared in front of the two of them. No matter how forward that horizontal line is, it will be cut off by countless vertical lines, and the horizontal line will not stop there, it will still only move forward.
Zhou Mo concluded: "This is your state of mind now and in the future!" Lin Manliu shook his head and said: "If something happens that changes your state of mind, then what will be in my mind in the future, Isn't it possible that it is similar to the ones you mentioned before?" In a few years, when he is tired and unwilling to take another step forward, will he join the ranks of those sanctimonious people?
Or is it because you understand the gap between yourself and the number one surname among the people, and you are exhausted physically and mentally, so you let it go and no longer pursue what you want in your heart?
Or in order to avoid this, completely let go of everything, hide in the market with your parents, and never talk about your youthful past with anyone in the future?
Zhou Mo imitated the young man's behavior, shook his head and smiled: "If this is the case, the young man who carried his sword and traveled far away in order to repay his master's fate may not be able to finish the journey..." The young man in short shirt was silent for a moment and looked at Zhou Mo seriously. .
He said: "I would like to hear the details!" Lin Manliu put aside all his prejudices against Zhou Mo and put all his original concerns about this person behind him.
Just to get what I really want from the Taoist figure in front of me. Zhou Mo said loudly: "All goals are from the heart. Just as you are willing to overcome all difficulties and travel far, the same is true for the trail. Even if you don't take it seriously, I will observe the Tao based on what you do!"
"You, Lin Manliu, are now willing to be stuck in the quagmire and unwilling to jump out of it. It is because of the influence of everything you have seen!"
"Indeed, you will not have too much pity for those who have suffered misfortunes, nor will you be overly hostile to those who have selfish desires that disturb others..."
"But after seeing so many people and things, your mood almost changes again and again, except for one thing that remains unchanged!"
"That's the peace of mind that comes from deep in my heart!" Before Zhou Mo finished speaking, that
The four words "peace of mind" already sounded in the young man's heart. Lin Manliu recalled all the confusion, confusion, and longing in his heart, and found that after finally settling the matter, it seemed that these four words were all he wanted.
The young man in a short shirt held his hands forward and saluted Zhou Mo.
"Thank you, Taoist Master Zhou, for clarifying my doubts..." Zhou Mo grinned and returned to his usual appearance. Then he said aloud: "The trail is also to make it easier for you to observe the Tao. Otherwise, there will be too many detours in the back, and I will have to spend more effort!" Lin Manliu said nothing, but saluted again, and then went to Zhou Mo said goodbye and left.
