"This tea is really good."
The old man in brocade couldn't help but praise.
Xiaotuanzi put his hands on his hips proudly, "Of course, these tea leaves belong to my boss."
The old man in Jinyi noticed the small dumpling on Qin Luo's shoulder. He smiled and said: "Little baby, why are you so small? You should eat more when you grow."
"Old man, I'm not pinching you!"
Xiaotuanzi tilted his head proudly.
Qin Luo stared at her, "Are you polite?"
"Not polite."
Xiaotuanzi covered his head.
Qin Luo did not hit her on the head, but said calmly: "Go back to the room and copy the Thousand-Character Essay twice."
"oh."
The little dumpling slapped its little mouth.
Remind yourself to pay attention in the future.
Qin Luo felt that the tea presented by Master Fuyun was good, so he specially took out half a can of tea and invited everyone to taste it.
The fragrance of tea overflowed in Qinghe Building. Many people smelled the fragrance and came to Qinghe Building to drink tea.
Qinghe Building is getting more and more lively, with people drinking tea, reading, playing chess, chatting, etc. It is far from the crowded Qingyue Building.
Chu Peiran looked at the piece of rotten wood on the wall and asked with a smile: "Master Guichen's surname is Chen?"
Guichen nodded, "My common surname is Chen."
"Why did Master Guichen become a monk?"
"When the little monk was born, golden rain fell from the sky. Everyone said that the little monk was a son of Buddha, so his parents sent him to Jinguang Temple to practice."
Chu Peiran couldn't help but sigh, "My father said that when I was born, a magpie came to my house carrying a jade branch. He said that I had the appearance of a saint and asked me to read books about saints since I was a child. In fact, I don't like reading. Master Guichen wants to be Monk?"
Guichen shook his head and said seriously: "The young monk used to be very playful and didn't like to practice in the temple. He often ran out of the temple to play. Later, an eminent monk took the young monk to travel around the world. When he saw the suffering in the world, the young monk started to I want to be an ascetic and survive all the hardships in the world."
Chu Peiran smiled and joked: "I thought Master Guichen would say that he would free all living beings from suffering."
"All living beings suffer, and we can only overcome it by ourselves."
Returning to dust has a profound meaning.
Qin Luo was thoughtful.
"Brother Dao, do you have any stories?"
"I was struck by lightning when I came to this world."
"Hahaha."
Chu Peiran took out the map from his arms and said, "Brother Dao, you are going to the royal capital. This map should be useful to you. The red color is the route I took."
Qin Luo opened the map, which had detailed labels for each county. To the south of Jiangling City is Jiangnan County. Jiangnan County has many rivers and lakes and many places of interest. Further to the south is Pingyuan County, which has fertile land and is known as the granary of the world. , and to the east is the capital of Daxia.
"Pingyuan County is so big."
Qin Luo murmured softly.
Chu Peiran said with a smile: "Pingyuan County is much larger than what is shown on the map. Due to the supreme view of cutting down mountains and ruining temples, it is difficult to see the shadow of the mountains in Pingyuan County."
Qin Luo looked at the map. He started from Longhu Temple and walked to Jiangling City. He was still far away from the capital of Daxia, and he had just walked less than half of it.
"Brother Chu, is there any interesting place in Jiangnan County?" Qin Luo is preparing to set off tomorrow, passing through Jiangnan County and Pingyuan County to the royal capital.
Chu Peiran said with a smile: "The Shenyan Lake in Jiangnan County, among the colorful clouds, and Poyang City are all interesting places. The scenery of Shenyan Lake is beautiful, there are immortals among the colorful clouds, and Poyang City is mainly prosperous. Brother Taoist, if you have time, you can do both. Go check it out.”
Qin Luo looked at the map. The nearest one was Shenyan Lake, and then Caiyunjian. He smiled and asked, "Has Brother Chu ever seen an immortal in Caiyunjian?"
Chu Peiran shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity that when I went to Caiyunjian, I couldn't crack the Zhenlong chess game, let alone see the immortal in Caiyunjian. It's a pity. I will go there again in the future. If I don't see the immortal Caiyun, I won't be able to solve it." Don’t leave.”
"interesting."
Qin Luo decided to go to Caiyunjian to have a look.
Chu Peiran said in a deep voice: "Brother Dao, can you help me bring a letter to my father."
"no problem."
Qin Luo smiled and nodded.
Chu Peiran usually doesn't write letters to his family. He wrote this letter because he wanted the Chu family to take care of Qin Luo.
"I'll go see Xiaotuanzi and you guys can chat."
Qin Luo stood up and quietly walked into the room. Xiaotuanzi held a pen in each hand and wrote two thousand-character essays at the same time. The words written by his left and right hands were exactly the same.
Bang!
Qin Luo hit her on the head and said seriously: "Hold the pen with one hand and write seriously."
"oh!"
Xiaotuanzi obeyed the instructions.
Qin Luo sat aside and looked at her.
In the evening, Xiaotuanzi finally finished writing two thousand-word essays. She rubbed her wrists, then lay on the ground and sighed, "I'm so tired, even more tired than fighting!"
Qin Luo chuckled and said: "Read the Thousand-Character Essay every morning, noon and evening."
"oh!"
Xiaotuanzi blinked, "Boss, can I go play now?"
"Go!"
"Be obedient."
"I know, hehe."
Xiaotuanzi sneaked out of the room to play with Caixia.
When Qin Luo came downstairs, Chu Peiran had already put the letter into an envelope, "Brother Dao, just hand the letter to the Yushitai."
"no problem."
Qin Luo put the letter away.
Chu Peiran raised his eyebrows, "How about we play two more games of chess before we say goodbye?"
"OK."
Qin Luo accepted it happily.
They came to the second floor to play chess.
Chu Peiran went first with white this time. He placed the stone in the star position, while Qin Luo held black and still fell in Tianyuan. They came and went very quickly.
The black and white chess pieces are fighting on the chessboard. In this game, Chu Peiran is not optimistic about the outcome. He plays chess based on his feelings, and sometimes he can even make wonderful moves that even himself admires.
But the outcome was a defeat.
After two games of chess, it was already very late.
Seeing them finish playing chess, Xiaotuanzi blinked and said, "Boss, do you want to go shopping?"
Qin Luo said softly: "Get some rest early, we have to travel tomorrow. If you can recite a thousand-character essay, I will buy you candied haws."
"Uh-huh."
Xiaotuanzi nodded happily.
night.
Qin Luo lay on the bed to rest.
Xiaotuanzi sat on the window, silently reading the Thousand-Character Essay in the moonlight, trying to memorize it.
The next day, early morning.
When Qin Luo woke up.
Xiaotuanzi was still muttering quietly by the window.
Qin Luo looked at Xiaotuanzi and said softly: "The road is still long, so take your time and don't be in a hurry."
Xiaotuanzi put away the thousand-character essay, she sat on Qin Luo's shoulder, and said seriously with a small face: "Boss, I know how to memorize it. If you don't believe me, just listen."
"The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, and the universe is vast. The sun and moon are waxing and waning, and the stars and constellations are arranged. Cold comes and summer comes, autumn harvest...autumn harvest..." Xiao Tuanzi scratched his little face.
"It's harvesting in autumn and storing in winter."
"Yes, yes, it's autumn harvest and winter storage. I was able to carry it just now."
Qin Luo nodded slightly, "Great."
Hearing Qin Luo's compliment, Xiaotuanzi proudly put his hands on his hips and raised his head.
In the early morning, the fog in Jiangling City has not cleared yet.
When Qin Luo left, Xiao Tao brought him a bowl of ginger soup, "Thanks to Mr. Dao, Doudou and I can live an ordinary life. We will take care of Qinghe Building."
After drinking the ginger soup, Qin Luo said with a smile: "Just call me Brother Qin. I will come back to see you in the future. Lao Wu will take good care of them."
The tall figure behind everyone bowed to take orders.
Chu Peiran was carrying a bookcase on his back, "Caixia can write. If you don't understand, ask Caixia."
"Thank you Mr. Chu!"
Xiaotao and Doudou had gratitude in their eyes.
Caixia waved to Xiaotuanzi, "Sister Tuanzi, come and play often in the future."
Xiaotuanzi nodded heavily, "Goodbye!"
Xiaotao and the others watched Qin Luo and the others drift away. At this moment, a pig's head emerged from the Guichen golden bowl, "I, the old pig, will miss you too."
Bang!
The pig demon was knocked unconscious here.
Chu Peiran rubbed his fists and sighed: "I feel uncomfortable if I don't fight the pig demon for a day."
Xiaotuanzi sat on Qin Luo's shoulder for the candied haws, and read the Thousand-Character Essay carefully.
After walking out of Jiangling City, Qin Luo gestured to Guichen and Chu Peiran, "Brother Chu, Master Guichen, let's say goodbye."
"Goodbye Jianghu!"
"See you again if we are destined."
They met in the ruined temple and parted in Jiangling City.
Qin Luo came to the ferry near Jiangling City. There were many strong men around who made a living by punting boats.
Many small boats on the shore were out of business. Qin Luo saw an old boatman and walked over to him, "Old man, how much does it cost to cross the river?"
When the old boatman saw Qin Luo, he greeted him with a smile, "Two cents per person, this girl is so young, it doesn't count as money."
"She's not little anymore."
Qin Luo handed the old boatman four cents.
A smile appeared on the old boatman's wrinkled face, revealing the few remaining yellow teeth in his mouth.
After Qin Luo came to the boat, the old boatman paddled across the river without saying a word.
The boat docked. After Qin Luo got off the boat, he turned around and raised his hands to the old boatman, "Thank you, old man, for sending me across the river."
The old boatman waved his hands repeatedly, with gratitude in his turbid eyes, "I have seen too many things in this ferry for most of my life. It's Master Dao who is kind-hearted. I wish Master Dao a safe journey."
Qin Luo smiled and nodded.
Leaving the ferry, Qin Luo walked towards Jiangnan County.
"The rising clouds bring rain, and the dew turns into frost. The rising clouds bring rain, and the dew turns into frost. The rising clouds bring rain, and..." Xiaotuanzi read a thousand-character essay repeatedly on Qin Luo's shoulders.
Qin Luo thought of his previous endorsement experience.
They originally took the official road. Qin Luo was afraid that Xiaotuanzi would disturb the passers-by, so he chose to take the mountain road and enjoy the beautiful scenery in the mountains.
Half a day later.
Qin Luo and the others came to Jiangnan County.
In the forest, a sound broke through the air. Qin Luo raised his head and watched the Taoist priest in white flying over his head with a sword on his back.
When the Taoist priest in white flew over Qin Luo's head, the bell on his waist kept ringing, "There is evil spirit!"
