"Excuse me, shopkeeper, for adding another roast chicken." Seeing Xuan Yi's strong desire, Taoist Qingtian stopped insisting and ordered the waiter.
"Hey! This Taoist priest really wants to buy meat. Can he afford it? He's not trying to make himself fat. Let's take a look." All the diners turned their heads to look. The waiter also looked suspiciously at the Taoist's torn Taoist robe and said: "Taoist priest, there is hot roast chicken in the steamer. But a roast chicken costs one coin, can you give me a meal first?" The Taoist picked up the food. The backpacker gave the meal money first, and the waiter took the money and became happy again, "Okay, just wait a moment, the roast chicken will be here soon."
The master ordered meat dishes for the first time. Xuan Yi and Xuan suddenly became energetic, straightened their backs, sat upright, and looked at the master with wide eyes. I just felt that his holy light was shining, and he was a hundred times more pleasant and amiable than usual. The waiter was quick on his feet and quickly brought out a shiny and tender roast chicken. It was the first time that there was this wonderful and tempting taste on the table. The second boy couldn't help but grin, but he didn't dare to do anything.
Staring at the roast chicken, Xuan Yi pretended not to care and asked strangely: "Why did master buy roast chicken? Is it because he wanted to catch some ghosts who like to eat roast chicken in the afternoon?" "Xuan Yi, you can't be an ordinary person and lie. What's on your mind? Just say what you said." "Oh! Master, are you buying this roast chicken for us to eat?" "Yes. Now that you two have grown up and have your own likes and dislikes, the precept of eating meat will be abolished from today on. "Then I'll eat it. Master, you are a Taoist priest. Taoist priests can't lie, and they can't hit me with a ruler!" Xuan Yi looked at the master warily, and carefully stretched out his little hand to the chicken leg. Seeing that the Taoist priest didn't stop him, he quickly tore off the chicken legs and bit into them eagerly.
"Wow, this is so delicious! How can there be such delicious food in the world? I lived the first half of my life in vain. Brother, you should eat it quickly! This roast chicken is really the most delicious thing in the world." Xuan Yi Holding the chicken legs with both hands, he pounced on the whole thing to eat, not forgetting to call his brother. "Xuan Yi, recite the words of thanksgiving." The Taoist reminded again. Xuan Yi bit the chicken in his mouth and snored happily.
Seeing that his sister was eating deliciously, Xuantian looked at the Taoist with hope. "Xuan Tian, you can eat too. You have to learn from your sister, be bolder and don't ask me for my opinion on everything." The Taoist answered in the affirmative, and Xuantian then pulled off another chicken leg and started to chew on it. Suddenly, my mouth was full of oily fragrance, and my face showed a happy smile.
Soon, Xuan Yi was so confused that his mouth, nose, and face were all covered in oil. The Taoist took out a handkerchief and handed it over, and she wiped her face consciously. He raised his eyes and smiled and said: "Master, you should eat too. This meat is delicious. You have been a Taoist priest all your life and you still don't know the taste of this meat. Isn't it a pity to be like this?" "Don't forget the meaning of Qingnong. ." "Master, I understand. The so-called clear and strong, to put it bluntly, is just what I think. People with different thoughts will have different meanings when they look at the same thing. Is this what you mean?" The Taoist nodded appreciatively and ate the two of them. He poured the unfinished noodles into the iron urn and kept them for dinner, while saying: "Xuan Yi, you are not young anymore, you can start learning the skills of being a teacher." "I am only four years old, and it is really tiring to be your disciple. "
A two-pound roasted chicken was quickly eaten by two children. Then, he stretched himself out on the table, holding his stomach and saying "Ouch". "Ouch, I'm going to die. Master, please help me quickly, my belly is going to explode." Xuan Yi said coquettishly while lying in the Taoist's arms. "If you eat happily, you have to bear the consequences. In this way, you can remember next time and not be greedy for more." "Taoist priests are so heartless and don't know how to love their lovely disciples!"
After a short rest, Er Tong regained his energy. They are born with demonic bodies, and their bodies are unusually strong. The two started jumping around again, poking and messing around, and running all over the street. After playing, he was covered in sweat and ran back to the Taoist. Xuan Yi smiled and said: "Master, this town is really big and nice. It is much more beautiful than the ones we have been to before. There are many interesting and beautiful things on the streets. Unfortunately, we are leaving today and we don't have time to see everything." "Why are you leaving today?" "Master always has little money in his pocket. There are no evil spirits here. Let's go on the road naturally and sleep in the wilderness." "That makes sense. However, there is no harm in staying today. Let's find an inn to stay." "Ah, we can eat roast chicken and stay in an inn. Master, are you possessed by a monster? That's great. You don't have to live in the wild anymore."
The two children danced with joy and were full of energy. They ran towards the street happily. After walking around for half a day, I saw a large manor on South Street. The plaque on the door said: Mutong Inn.
"Mutong, another strange word. Master, what does "mutong" mean?" "Mutong is the meaning born from neighbors. I guess he is kind and likes to make friends all over the world." "Such a lavish manor, it must be It’s a good place to live. Let’s stay here today.”
Walking into the manor, I met an elegant scholar in the front yard, about forty years old, wearing a blue gown and a turban on his head. Seeing the guest coming, the scholar warmly stepped forward to greet him, "Sorry, sorry. I am Xiao Fengtong, the owner of Mutong Inn, who has met the little Taoist priest." The Taoist returned the courtesy and said, "Fusheng Boundless Heavenly Lord. The little Taoist priest has met him. The owner of the village, you are very polite." "You are a guest from afar, so I would like to entertain you. Please come in, three of you." Xiao Fengtong was very hospitable and personally led the way to the guest room.
The east courtyard is a spacious living room, with flowers blooming in the garden, and pear trees in white, with petals like snow. The two children ran to the tree excitedly, picked up the petals and started playing with them. Xiaofeng Tong asked his servant to open the guest room and lead the three people in. The room has one living room and one bedroom, with a soft red carpet, neat elm tables and chairs, a vase of spring flowers on it, and plum orchid calligraphy and paintings on the walls. The bedroom has a carved mahogany bed, thickly covered with blue cloth, velvet and brocade, two stacks of embroidered red quilts, and a pair of stitched lotus green pillows. It looks clean and soft. Xuan Yi and Xuan Tian were so happy that they jumped on the bed and rolled around.
Xiao Fengtong: "Master, the bedding is freshly washed, please rest peacefully. I will ask the servant to bring dinner later." "Thank you, owner of the village, for arranging Zhou Dao. I don't know how much it costs for one night and two meals tonight and tomorrow morning?" "Master Taoist, please don't disturb me. I love Taoism and Lok Buddha the most. All food and lodging are provided by me. Even if I live here for a month, it doesn't matter." The Taoist waved his hand slightly, "Practitioners have rules and don't dare to accumulate any debts. You can pay as much as you need, just two taels of silver. I can afford it." Seeing that the Taoist was not joking, Xiaofeng said: "In that case, I won't refuse. The Taoist Master will leave one or two silvers." Taoist priest Qingtian took out the silver and handed it over. Xiaofeng Tong then said: "The Taoist is poor, but his temperament is noble and admirable. In my life, I love to interact with people who practice. Now that I am free in the afternoon, I wonder if you can talk to me in the back hall, so I also I can gain more knowledge." "It's disrespectful."
The Taoist put down his luggage and chatted with Xiaofeng in the back hall. Xuan Yi and Xuantian were running and playing in the village.
In the backyard hall, the furnishings are even more luxurious, with exquisite calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, antique gold utensils decorated everywhere, and thousand-year-old rosewood furniture, which shows that the family is well off. The two host and guest sat down, and a maid aged thirteen or fourteen served tea with an ancient porcelain tea set.
While drinking tea, Fellow Xiaofeng said: "Little Taoist Master, I don't know, I have loved Taoism since I was a child, and when I was young, I also had the intention to visit the fairy mountain to become a teacher. Unfortunately, I am the only son in the family, and I still have an old mother to take care of, so I had to give up the idea. But I have always been When I meet a practitioner, I feel particularly close. Maybe I have a predestined relationship with the Tao in this life." "Cultivation of the Tao is about understanding nature and obeying nature. It doesn't matter where you are, what you wear, or your status. Being filial to your mother is the best and most sincere practice. This is what a practitioner should and must do. If he abandons his mother and goes to practice in the mountains, that person is not considered a good person, so how can he be called a practitioner?"
"I didn't expect that the Taoist Priest is young but has unique insights. That's exactly what I thought. I can practice Taoism in my old age, but I don't have many opportunities to take care of my mother. By the way, I haven't asked yet, what is the Taoist Priest's immortal name and where is the Immortal Mountain? "Why did you bring two children to travel here?" "The little Taoist priest's Dharma name is Qingtian Taoist priest, and he became a Taoist priest. The tomb left the mountain. The little apprentice's parents died early, and I was entrusted by his mother to take care of him. The little Taoist priest is young and has little knowledge, so he consciously practices in the mountains. It's useless, so I came to the human world to see the world." "Oh, that's it. Whoever doesn't know has been traveling for a few years and passed through those areas, and can he learn anything strange?" "I traveled from the Qishan Mountains in the southeast of Xianyu, and in three years I walked through about Seventy-eight thousand miles, passing through Southeast Li Land, Huanglan Yue Land, Wushuchi Land, Shady Ghost Land, Taiyin Pole Land, Xianqiong Ancient Land, and Taihuanglingland——"
"Ouch! Where did the beggar come from? He picked up a broken Taoist robe on the roadside and came to the makeup shop to cheat. I think you have blinded your dog eyes and are here to ask for a beating!"
While the Taoist was speaking, a richly dressed woman with white embroidered peonies came to the door. As soon as the woman saw the Taoist, she began to insult him. Xiao Fengtong stood up and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense. I invited you to chat with Taoist Master. How can you insult me with such vulgar words? How can you be such a rude and rude woman?" "Hmph! You spread your wealth all day long, Don't think I don't know how to entertain these shabby homeless people. Without me, your Xiao family wouldn't be able to eat, so how could you be so rich and wealthy today? Drive this shabby beggar out quickly, or I won't let you go." The woman's eyebrows were high. , Dankou Gong, ten commanding dance, full of wild and unruly behavior. "What a cunning woman. If you act recklessly again, I will be rude to you." Xiaofeng pointed at the woman and scolded her while trembling all over.
The woman looked up to the sky and howled, rushed towards Xiaofeng and raised her hands to fight, shouting loudly: "Why do you still beat me, it's unreasonable! Come on, Xiaofeng is beating his wife, Xiaofeng is beating his wife." I know you don't like me, so you can just beat me to death. Then you can marry another good man. Come on, beat me to death." Xiaofeng raised his hands angrily, never daring to lower them, and threw them away in anger. sigh. The Taoist stood up, bowed his head and excused himself, "Blessings are immeasurable, the Heavenly Lord. The Taoist excuses himself." After the Taoist left, Xiao Fengtong and his wife struggled for a while before giving up.
The Taoist walked out of the courtyard, and Xuan Yi came over and said with a smile: "Master, you have been scolded again. I heard it all. That naughty woman is rude, why don't you punish her with magic?" "The woman is not wrong, why should she be punished? Her?" "Ah, that's not wrong. The owner of the village is kind-hearted, but his wife is petty and unruly. She insulted the master in public and embarrassed him. Isn't that wrong?" "I think, no. She has a small belly, but Xuan Yi, you don't have much tolerance." "Ah! Master, I am helping you, why are you teaching me a lesson in return? You are too ignorant of good people."
