Suburbs of Beijing·Taoist Temple
Just a stone's throw away from the road, a vegetable garden has been established, which is connected to the village. The river flows and the bamboos are thick. It is a small bridge and flowing water, but the incense is not prosperous.
In addition to people from nearby villages, there are occasionally people passing by who offer incense.
At this moment, Xie Zhenren was sitting in trance, facing the window, with the night sky at the window.
"Ma'am, please have some tea."
A Taoist boy with combed hair made tea. He looked about twelve or thirteen years old. He came in and served tea to Mr. Xie who was sitting at the table. The tea was flowing like water and he looked very skilled.
The tea bowl was just placed on the table. Suddenly, a bright light exploded, and then a red light penetrated the roof and fell directly.
"Ouch!" The Taoist boy was unprepared and his eyes were almost dazzled. As he screamed, the tea spilled all over the floor. The wind made the window paper tremble and shook the entire Taoist temple.
"Master, please forgive me." The Taoist boy shouted quickly.
"It's okay. The weather suddenly changed. I can't blame you." Zhenren Xie smiled faintly, rolled up his wide sleeves, and saw a blood mark on his arm slowly changing from deep to shallow under the candlelight.
This is not the first time that this sudden disappearance occurs, and Master Xie naturally knows why.
"Zhou Xuan has been eliminated."
Power is churning in the body, and his appearance is already middle-aged. Although it has not changed at this time, there is a faint change in temperament.
He didn't even need to look for a bronze mirror to see the changes in his body. Xie Zhenren looked at the Taoist boy who was knocked over by a sudden force, and shook his head again.
"I didn't expect it to happen so quickly. It came so quickly."
This emotion made Tao Tong confused. What does this mean?
The Taoist boy looked up and saw Master Xie with a strange expression on his face. He was a little confused. What happened just now?
"Guanzhu, what's wrong?"
Master Xie took a deep look at the Taoist boy. This Taoist boy was a fairly obedient one among all the Taoist boys and ordinary Taoists in the temple. There was no need to operate on him first.
"Xiao Can, go and call everyone." Xie Zhenren ordered him.
Taoist boy Xiao Can didn't think about anything else. Since the temple master gave the order, he agreed: "Yes."
Turn around and walk out.
After he went out, a figure hurried in. His figure had become much taller due to the stripping. The second person who came in was said to be a Taoist boy. He was also fifteen or sixteen years old. He was two or three years older than the little Taoist boy. He was none other than the Taoist boy. He was a Taoist boy who once traveled extensively with Xie Zhenren.
This Taoist boy was a disciple of Master Xie. Seeing him come in, Master Xie made no secret of what he was going to do and directly ordered: "Hongdao, bring your sword with you and guard the door of the Taoist temple so that no one can escape. "
"Ma'am, what do you mean..."
Hongdao's eyes were clear and sharp, and he was very smart. He immediately understood what Xie Zhenren meant, but he was a little worried that he would make a mistake when he had to do such a trick. Then he would not regret taking the medicine. So I tentatively asked again.
Mr. Xie didn't say anything, he just looked at him deeply.
Hongdao hurriedly lowered his head: "Yes, disciple, go now!"
Not daring to ask again, he hurriedly left as ordered.
Xiao Can was ordered by the temple master to inform the people inside the temple that he had found several brothers in a short period of time and conveyed the temple master's order to them.
After hearing this message, most people immediately stopped what they were doing and walked towards the Guanzhu courtyard.
But there were two people, both teenage Taoist boys. After hearing what they said, they felt faintly uneasy in their hearts. They called out in a childish voice, "Yan Xiao, what do you think the temple master is calling us for?"
"Li Xin, I don't know either, but I always feel bad." The slightly older boy's voice said.
The words were spoken of two new orphans who had no father or mother. They were originally like each other and depended on each other for life. In the winter, the temple master found them and entered the Taoism. They lived a life of food and clothing for a few months, and also passed on some things that they did not know even though they were initiated. Very exquisite martial arts.
But the wildness of the two people has not disappeared. At this point, the two people looked at each other, and their pace couldn't help but slow down, with a hint of fear on their faces.
They lost their parents when they were young, but they still have the instinct to identify crises and have escaped many disasters. But now they feel frightened, and there is a strong instinct that prevents them from passing by.
"It seems to be the same as the last time Huang Huhu cheated him into mining, no, it's more intense."
After looking at each other, Li Xin asked curiously: "Brother Can, the master of the temple suddenly called all of us over. Do you know why?"
"Yes, Brother Can, you must know the reason why you are serving in front of the temple master today. Good brother, please tell us quickly so that we both know what is going on." Yan Xiao also immediately followed suit.
Xiao Can scratched his head. Although he often served in front of the temple master, he was not a very smart person and did not have much knowledge. Even if he saw something and heard something, he could not understand it.
"I don't know what it was, but just now a red light suddenly fell from the sky..."
"Xiao Can!" Someone suddenly shouted from a distance.
Xiao Can hurriedly said to the two people in front of him: "Okay, everyone has passed, let's go quickly, don't make the visitor anxious!"
"You go over first. I suddenly have a stomachache. I need to go to the toilet. I'll be there soon!" Li Xin suddenly said, covering his stomach.
"Me too, ouch!" Yan Xiao also found a reason and left in a hurry.
"... Such a naughty person." Xiao Can frowned and watched the two of them go away. Someone in the distance urged them again, so he shook his head and ran over first. The conservator had summoned him, so it would be bad to be late.
In the small courtyard, the wooden door of the main room had been opened, revealing the Taoist priest sitting on a futon. When Xiao Can ran there, almost a dozen people in the temple were already there.
Xie Zhenren raised his eyelids and looked at the people who had arrived one after another. The dozen or so people were basically in their teens, and the oldest was only twenty years old. They were all very young. At this time, they all shouted in unison: "Guanzhu!"
Master Xie agreed and scanned them all. After a long time, he took a deep breath.
"Dragon Lord has three thousand ways, and I have gained the ability to observe images."
"There are Bole horses in the world, and then there are thousand-mile horses. Thousand-mile horses always exist, but Bole horses don't always exist. Therefore, although there are famous horses, they are humiliated in the hands of slaves and die in stalls, and are not called thousand-mile horses."
"Even if you have potential, if you don't cultivate it, you will still be humiliated in the hands of slaves and die in a stable."
"This school can select people with potential."
"My planning relies more on this. After all, only people with potential can get things done."
"I didn't mention it earlier, but this group is still the smart and intelligent people I have found over the years. They all have good luck and extraordinary talents. Even if Xiao Can seems stupid, he has not yet figured it out, but in fact he is still extraordinary. place."
"There might have been people like Yu Qianzhi and Wen Xunpeng who had potential. Unfortunately, the time has come."
"Although I knew this day would come, it's still a pity that it has actually come."
Master Xie sighed secretly.
The dozen or so people who came were all orphans adopted by Master Xie, and they were in awe and worship of Master Xie. Especially when Master Xie had not appeared in the past few years, he turned out to be younger when he reappeared, which made them firmly believe that Master Xie was an expert.
