The four of Wang Shi and his entourage continued to climb the mountain and went to the view of the green mountain. It was still early, and several of them were practitioners, so they did not feel tired from climbing. Li Baizhu was more interested in the young Taoist priest on the mountainside than other things. Therefore, after walking halfway through the mountain, he seemed a little ecstatic.

Although Wang Shi and Nomad Zhi are both Taoist disciples, they have never been to this green mountain view. Therefore, after stopping and stopping, they were a little confused. It seemed that they could not find the green mountain view. Luoshui The two female gentlemen of the academy, Leng Pingxue always had a flat expression, and was reticent when climbing. Seeing that he could not find the view of the green mountain, he simply stopped and stood beside the mountain road.

Wang Shi stood aside, his expression indifferent, but the nomad approached Li Baizhu. Seeing that the female gentleman was not very interested, he smiled and asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Li, I think the mountain is boring."

Li Baizhu looked at the young Taoist priest and was unwilling to talk to him, so he shook his head and came to his senior sister and asked in a low voice: "Sister, can a Taoist priest on this mountain marry a wife?"

Leng Pingxue looked at her junior sister, and replied softly: "The cultivation of Taoism on the mountain is not unsympathetic and unrighteous. How can we not marry relatives? The monks of the three religions, except for the Buddhist monks, will never marry their relatives in their lives, whether it is Taoism or Confucianism. , These things are not forbidden, you, when you grow up a few years later, maybe you will wear a red wedding dress and marry out. At that time, you will marry a scholar who is so knowledgeable that no one can compare. Just find an ordinary person?"

Li Baizhu raised his head and said with a smile: "The person I want to marry Li Baizhu must be the most educated scholar in the world, the seniors in the academy, forget it, and go to the Yanling Academy for election, otherwise I look down on no one."

Leng Pingxue quipped, "If this is the most learned scholar in the world, the scholars in that academy are not even considered."

"Then don't marry." Li Baizhu has a happy temper, but he never struggles with anything.

Leng Pingxue also didn’t want to continue to delve into this topic. After thinking about it, she shook her head and said: “This time you go up the mountain, you can just play it. I never thought that we can do it in this Taoist temple. Whatever comes out, the real big move has to be done by Mr. and the Taoist master."

Li Baizhu nodded, but then he asked about Li Nianshan, who was washing his robe. Leng Pingxue turned a deaf ear to it. Only if he didn't hear it, the four of them continued climbing after a quarter of an hour.

This time, after walking a short distance along a path, I finally saw a small courtyard. At this moment, a young Taoist priest was sitting in the courtyard with a pair of large scissors in his hand and was cutting paper.

Because they were too serious, the four of Wang Shi didn’t realize it when they came to him. They just lowered their heads to study whether the things they cut out were usable. Wang Shi didn’t say anything, but just stretched his head and looked at the Taoist priest’s office. I found out that in addition to some happy characters, there are also some small animals of all kinds. Perhaps because they are not skilled enough, these paper-cuts are not so good-looking, but the young Taoist priests are very serious, as if they are treating something. Cherish Daojuan in general.

He waited until the young Taoist priest had finished cutting out the hi character before he looked up and saw the group of four people who had not known how long they had been standing in front of him. He hurriedly got up and hit the chief, and smiled awkwardly.

Wang Shi’s self-reported home, and the reason he always used the saying that the mountain was summer away, the young Taoist nodded and smiled, saying that the coolness of the mountain is definitely not a fake, but in fact it is not the reason for the high mountain as rumored by outsiders. It was the talisman written by the elders of Guanli that gave rise to the cool breeze. When Wang Shi asked why he did this, the young Taoist priest smiled shyly, saying that the incense on the mountain must still need the people, otherwise a large group of Taoists would be starved to death.

Wang Shi, who heard such a candid statement for the first time, was a little unbelievable, but the young Taoist priests said that they did not conceal anything, and the teachers in Guanli never let them conceal it. If someone asks, they will say so. That's it, I'm not afraid to let the people who come up the mountain feel that there is no immortal spirit on the mountain, they are not originally immortals, and some popularity is actually much more normal.

I first met a young Taoist who wanted to marry a wife, and then met such a young Taoist who spoke so openly, which made Wang Shi's perception of the view of the green mountain better than when he was at the foot of the mountain, but these few words, Wang Shi didn't come to a conclusion early.

Li Baizhu had a happy temper, looked at the paper-cuts on the table, and asked excitedly: "Daoist, this is for the trail leader on the mountainside?"

The young Taoist stunned at first, and after you met the younger brother, he smiled and said: "Senior Brother Li is going to marry a wife. There is nothing good on the mountain, so we can only make some things for those of us who are brothers. It’s just that I’ve never done it before, so it’s actually pretty ugly, Junior Brother Wangwang don’t dislike it, or else I’ll have no face as a senior brother to beg for a drink when the junior brother gets married. ."

Wang Shi smiled and asked, "I heard from Daoyou Li that this wife was a woman from the mountain. If that's the case, both Li Daoyou and Guanli are not worried?"

Wang didn't finish the truth, but everyone knew what it meant.

After a monk embarks on the road of spiritual practice, the further one step forward, he will be able to live for a longer period of time. A monk with advanced realm can even live for hundreds of thousands of years, but an ordinary person is actually not more than a hundred years old. The two are married, and it is impossible to say that one of them will be prosperous in the future, but the other is already grey-haired.

The young Taoist priest did not shy away from this kind of question, but just explained: "The younger brother was originally a cultivator whose talent was not obvious, and it is difficult to make progress in the mountains these years. After he made up his mind to marry a wife, he left the temple for cultivating. Because it’s actually no different from ordinary people, so it’s not a big deal."

The nomad frowned and asked: "If you have a cultivation base, you will be scattered?"

The young Taoist smiled bitterly: "The junior disciple has a free and easy temperament. I have been cultivating on the mountain these years. I have not forced anything. I don’t feel embarrassed at all when I disperse my cultivation. Any other senior brother on the mountain will definitely not be so free and easy, so Master often said that there are many Taoist priests on this mountain, in fact, no one can compare to the younger brother."

Li Baizhu whispered: "Able to give up the avenue of cultivation for a woman, this trail leader doesn't know how much he likes that woman."

Wang Shi smiled without saying a word, but turned his head to look at Leng Pingxue.

The nomad said a few words, "Maybe according to the little road leader, this woman is his main road."

The young Taoist's eyes lit up, he looked at the nomad, and smiled sincerely: "Master said so, saying that it is because the younger brothers have not achieved success in enlightening Taoism on the mountain these years. The reason for the stupidity must be that Tao is not here. Since it is the woman who misses the girl, after receiving the promise of the girl, she is not willing to delay for a moment, so urgent, then the Tao is definitely on the girl. Master said this. Dao is everywhere between heaven and earth. Everyone’s Dao is different. Since it’s a good thing to find it, it’s good for the junior brother to go down the mountain, or stay on the mountain. Anyway, it’s up to him. No one on the mountain will stop him."

Leng Pingxue finally spoke, a little unhappy and said: "You mountain, there really are no rules."

There are some impolite remarks, and anyone who hears it will not be too happy to think about it, but the young Taoist priest is not at all annoyed, but he wants to send these paper-cuts as soon as possible, but he is here to receive people from the mountain. Tourists, it is really troublesome. Li Baizhu's eyes lit up and he volunteered to say that she was going to be halfway up the mountain for the Taoist leader. Originally, she felt boring on the mountain. The young Taoist priest smiled and agreed, and after he packed his things, he handed them all After meeting Li Baizhu, he said: "After seeing the younger brother, the troublesome girl asks for a word on the path and tells the younger brother that it is the bride price prepared by the older brother, and will also send it down the mountain these days, so that the younger brother Qian Don't worry."

Li Baizhu took these things, nodded his head, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the leader, I must have brought things and words."

Then Li Baizhu looked at her senior sister, Leng Pingxue's expression remained unchanged, but after Li Baizhu got up, he followed to the mountainside bamboo house to investigate the mountain. In her opinion, there is actually no younger sister in the least precious.

The two female gentlemen from Luoshui Academy went down the mountain. After going halfway up the mountain, Wang Shi frowned. Originally, he wanted to let these two female gentlemen from Luoshui Academy be witnesses. When he went to the bamboo house, he couldn't do anything, so after asking the young Taoist priest, he said he wanted to go shopping around.

The young Taoist priest didn't stop him, but hit the chief inspector and sent these two fellow practitioners away.

After Wang Shi had walked for a while, the young Taoist priest took his seat again, took a pen, dipped some cinnabar on the table, and wrote a talisman.

The symbols drawn by cinnabar on yellow paper slowly took shape.

The young Taoist nodded with a smile, "Little Junior Brother, Senior Brother has no abilities. You still have to rely on Master for these things."

——

Before Li Baizhu and Leng Pingxue walked to the bamboo house on the mountainside, there was actually an old Taoist man in a yellow Taoist robe who came to the bamboo house with a lot of things and looked at his own. The little apprentice was still washing clothes in front of the water pool. After putting the things away, the old Taoist priest moved a small bamboo stool and sat beside Li Nianshan, rubbing his head.

Li Nianshan grimaced, "Master, I'm getting married in a few days. Why are you still rubbing my head? You won't be smart."

The old Taoist smiled and handed him a chestnut, "Your favorite girl always says you are a foolish Taoist. Does the master know? Since you have been a foolish Taoist, it doesn't matter if it is stupid."

Li Nianshan frowned, "Master, what you said is actually very unreasonable. You are already stupid. If you are more stupid, she will dislike it."

The old Taoist priest was a little helpless. I didn’t know that my apprentice had been going up the mountain for many years. He was always confused. At that time, I didn’t know how many eyes were cast against him, but I didn’t care about it. Others hate it, feeling that your master is not worth anything in your eyes?

Li Nianshan stopped washing clothes, turned his head to look at his master, and asked with a smile: "Master, I am interested to visit me today. Is there anything I can't figure out when I read the Dao scroll? Just ask. I won't tell other seniors."

The old Taoist nodded his head with a smile, but did not open his mouth. He just gave Li Nianshan another chestnut. Li Nianshan was holding his head, feeling a little helpless.

The old Taoist took off his shoes and socks, ignoring Li Nianshan’s disgusting eyes, put his feet in the water pool, and taught earnestly: “Nianshan, after getting married, it’s not like cultivating on the mountain, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc. I have to go to the trouble, mundane things, but not as good as we cultivated on the mountain, you really think about it, but you have never thought about how to live afterwards, your daughter-in-law must support herself, but she can’t rely on the mountain for a lifetime Brothers relief."

Li Nianshan said with a smile: "I have planned for a long time. After I get married, I will cut some green bamboo in the back mountain to make some gadgets and sell it down the mountain. The money is not much, but I think it is enough."

Li Nianshan felt that his thoughts were not bad. At least according to his current thoughts, it was absolutely feasible. Only the voice fell. He was quickly beaten on the head by his master with a chestnut, "You can earn a living by doing this. How much money, if your daughter-in-law wants to buy something, you can’t pay, this expense is counted in? You will have a child in the future and prevent this little guy from studying. I don’t know how much money it will cost. , This sum is counted in again. In winter, it costs money to add a quilt, and in spring to wear new clothes, you are really considerate?"

Li Nianshan asked with a bitter face, "Master, is this kiss?"

The old Taoist priest stretched out his hand again and gave Li Nianshan a chestnut, and said with an angry smile: "It's not promising."

Li Nianshan was melancholy.

The old Taoist took out a small money bag from his arms and handed it to his apprentice with a painful expression, trying his best to behave calmly, "You don’t have much money, you save flowers, remember to find someone to rely on. Don’t let your daughter-in-law be wronged. Master, this life is too long and I haven’t encountered any interesting things. It’s just that you marry a wife that makes being a teacher feel a little interesting. It’s just you. Boy, it’s not easy to worry. I always think that you are the most savvy. If you focus on cultivating the Tao, you would have surpassed the brothers on the mountain. But you can be a fool, thinking about other things all day. , I just leave that road and don’t go away. I don’t want it if I don’t want it. If the ancestors on the mountain are still alive, I can’t say I have to hang you in front of the Hall of Merit and Virtue.

Li Nianshan took the silver and was thinking of saying something, when he saw the two girls who had gone up the mountain before coming here, Li Baizhu, who had been chatting with him before, held a pile of paper-cuts, and trot over here. He stuffed his brain into Li Nianshan’s arms, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile: "Little Daoist, this is your brother on the mountain who asked me to send it over. He also said that you don’t worry about the bride price and the mountain will do it. of."

Li Nianshan solemnly called the inspector and sincerely thanked him, "Thank you girl."

Li Baizhu waved his hand and signaled that it was all right. Then he noticed the old Taoist sitting by the water pool. Li Baizhu gave a hum and quickly said, "Li Baizhu of Luoshui Academy, I have seen the master of sheep."

The old Taoist rubbed his cheeks, and asked a little surprised: "How do you know the poor way, little girl?"

Li Baizhu grinned and said: "Before I left the academy, the master in the academy showed me the portrait of Lord Yang Guan when he was young. When I saw him today, it was still... vaguely recognizable."

The old Taoist was noncommittal, just smiled and pointed to Leng Pingxue in the distance, "I heard that you have a strangely cold-tempered female gentleman out of your Luoshui Academy, she is a girl with the surname Leng, is she?"

Li Baizhu looked up at his senior sister with a guilty conscience, and nodded with embarrassment.

The old Taoist touched his beard and asked casually: "You little children are not studying in your own academy. Why are you coming to my green hills? Is it possible to know that my little apprentice is going to get married? Come join in the fun. But when did Pin Dao have such a big face?"

Li Baizhu tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, "No, we only learned about the trail growing into marriage when we went up the mountain. If we knew it long ago, we must prepare a gift, so we won't go climbing empty-handed."

The old Taoist waved his hand, "The mountain is not happy, I guess you Luoshui Academy and the two little guys on the mountain are both looking for trouble, but the poor Dao is very clean and there are no lice for you. Find it."

Perhaps those who have heard of it, Li Baizhu, who has never heard of such a statement, seemed a little at a loss.

On the contrary, Leng Pingxue in the distance has been watching the watcher on the mountain with vigilance. Although she is in the Qingsi realm, she is far from being the opponent of the watcher.

The veteran Taoist did not notice Leng Pingxue's movement at all, but just chanted a lot of things in his disciple's ears, which made Li Nianshan still unhappy.

Finally, the old Taoist stood up and said that he was going down the mountain. Li Baizhu had no objection. She wanted to chat with the little Taoist leader.

When the veteran Taoist passed by Leng Pingxue, he stopped for a moment, letting the latter feel like an enemy.

The female gentleman from Luoshui Academy looked at the old Taoist priest with a vigilant expression, and screamed abruptly.

The veteran Taoist did not pay attention, but he said: "You are not afraid of shadows. The border has several major events these days, all pointing to the view of the green mountains. If you don't come, the poor Dao feels wrong, but you are here. Guest, to check things is to check things, but don’t go too far. He has been thinking about my apprentice’s marrying a wife for a long time, so don’t mess it up for him."

Leng Pingxue did not speak, but just looked at the back of the old Taoist priest.

As everyone knows, the old Taoist priest who had walked a few steps suddenly turned his head, and said indifferently, "Otherwise the poor Tao will really be angry."
