Luo Qingzhou bowed his head and returned the salute.

The female Taoist raised her head and looked at him again, and asked: "Master, are you coming to Qingcheng Mountain to offer incense, or are you here for fun?"

Luo Qingzhou did not beat around the bush and said directly: "Taoist Priest, my second young lady is seriously ill and needs some medicinal materials. It is said that only the Qingyun Temple above has them, so I came here today to make trouble and ask the Taoist Priest for help."

The female Taoist priest was slightly startled when she heard this. She glanced at the crowd again and fixed her eyes on Miss Qin Er, who was weak and sickly. She asked: "What medicine do you need, sir? If it is ordinary medicine, I will help you get it."

Yes, it will save you the trouble of going up the mountain."

When Luo Qingzhou heard this, he quickly thanked him and then said: "It's not an ordinary medicine, it's Zhu Yanxue."

As soon as these words came out, the female Taoist priest's face suddenly changed and she said in surprise: "Zhu Yanxue?"

Seeing her expression, Luo Qingzhou knew that this matter would be difficult to handle, so he held up his hands and said: "We have worked hard to get this prescription, and there is indeed a medicine in it that is Zhu Yanxue. I heard that there is a Zhu Yanxue in Guiguan.

I'm tired of it, so I shamelessly come here to ask for medicine. Taoist priest, I wonder if I can do something convenient?"

The female Taoist smiled bitterly, shook her head and said, "I'm afraid that I will disappoint the young master and all the donors. Bi Guan does raise a Zhu Yan, but that Zhu Yan is an ancient ferocious beast, and it is also the sacred beast that protects the mountain of Qingyun Temple.

It is extremely senior and has a bad temper. Even if the viewer wants to get close to talk to it, it is difficult. As for getting blood from it, it is even more impossible. If it is angered and it goes crazy, I am afraid that I

Qingyun Temple will be destroyed. The villagers at the foot of the mountain may all suffer."

When everyone in the Qin family heard that the situation was so serious, their hearts suddenly sank.

Song Ruyue originally wanted to come up and beg, but when she heard this, she knew that no matter how much she begged, it would be useless. She could not put the Taoist temple in danger for the sake of her daughter and ignore the lives of the villagers at the foot of the mountain.

There was a sudden silence in the venue.

Nangong Meijiao suddenly said: "Taoist Priest, is it possible to make Zhu Yan unconscious and then take blood from it?"

The female Taoist glanced at her, shook her head, and said directly: "I have already said that Zhu Yan has a very high seniority. If someone finds you one day, ask you to stun your great-grandfather, and then take his

Blood, are you willing?"

Nangong Meijiao was silent.

The female Taoist priest added: "What's more, Zhu Yan is not an extraordinary creature. When it wakes up, it will definitely realize that something is wrong, and then it will become furious and mad. I am afraid that no one will be able to bear the consequences."

Everyone in the Qin family looked ugly, and no one said anything.

The female Taoist priest glanced at the young man in front of her again, and when she was about to leave, Luo Qingzhou suddenly said: "Taoist Priest, are you the only one who can see that Zhu Yan?"

The female Taoist priest said: "Yes."

Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and said, "Then please take us up, Taoist priest. I want to say a few words to the master of Guiguan."

The female Taoist priest looked at him and said: "Sir, the master of the temple has been practicing meditation recently and rarely sees guests."

Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment and said: "Taoist Priest, I would like to ask, is there any secret for meditation in Guiguan?"

The female Taoist priest's eyes flashed, and her face showed a hint of vigilance: "Of course there are."

Luo Qingzhou said: "Taoist master, please don't misunderstand me. I am not trying to find out Guiguan's secrets. I once got three sets of Taoist meditation secrets by chance. I don't know if they are the same as Guiguan's secrets."

As soon as these words came out, the female Taoist priest's face changed slightly, her eyes narrowed, and she said: "Master, can you read a few words for me to listen to?"

Luo Qingzhou nodded and said: "The first set is the Jingxin Jue, which is cold and cold throughout the ages, and all things are especially quiet; the heart should be calm, and I can only look at my mind; the mind and the mind should be united, and the Qi should follow each other; the phases are like complements, and everything is changing.

Not surprised..."

Then he stopped and asked: "Is it the same as the Taoist priest's method of practice?"

The female Taoist priest's expression changed and she said, "They are not the same. Where are the remaining two sets?"

Luo Qingzhou added: "The second set is the method of purifying the heart. If the heart is as clear as ice, it will not be shocked when the sky falls. It will remain calm in all changes, and the spirit will be calm. The dust will not stick to it, and the world will not be stained. The void will be peaceful, and there will be nothing in it.

…”

Luo Qingzhou asked again: "Taoist Master, is it the same?"

The female Taoist priest's face suddenly became extremely solemn, her chest rose and fell slightly, and her breathing became rapid: "It's not the same. Young Master, there is only one set left, please read it."

Luo Qingzhou added: "The remaining set is the art of nourishing the mind. The mind is dominated by the heart. To nourish the mind, you must first nourish the heart. When the mind is calm, the mind is peaceful, and when the heart is beating, the mind is tired..."

After reading only two sentences, he stopped.

The female Taoist priest was holding her breath and listening extremely intently. When she saw him stop, she was stunned and said quickly: "Master, is there anything else?"

Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and said: "Taoist Master, if I can see the master of the temple, I can present these three sets of Taoist techniques in perfect condition."

The female Taoist priest frowned and said: "Sir, even if you see the master of the temple, Zhu Yanxue, it is impossible."

Luo Qingzhou said: "I don't have to worry about it now, Taoist priest. I just want to see the temple master now. Is it convenient?"

The female Taoist priest looked at him deeply, without any further hesitation, she held the dust fly in her arms and said: "Master, all laymen, please."

Luo Qingzhou led everyone from the Qin family behind him.

Song Ruyue and others looked at his back with different expressions.

Nangong Xueyi excitedly approached Miss Qin and whispered with gleaming eyes: "Wei Mo, your brother-in-law is too awesome! How can he understand so much? I heard that he was also with Jin Chan Temple that day.

Those eminent monks were eloquent, quoted scriptures, and answered questions fluently. I didn't expect that when I came to Qingyun Temple today, I was impressed by this Taoist priest with just a few words. Moreover, he was so young and so good-looking. This is so perfect! I didn't expect that there would be more in this world.

There is such a powerful man, Wei Mo, your sister must be so lucky!"

Song Ruyue and Miss Qin who were following beside and behind them all listened.

Song Ruyue felt proud at first, but then immediately became wary and nervous.

Miss Qin still had a cold look on her face, with no other emotions visible on her face. She just moved her lips slightly and frowned slightly, as if she was silently reciting the few sets of magic formulas just now.

Hearing this, Miss Qin Er smiled slightly and said softly: "Sister Xueyi just sees a few men. Maybe she will meet better men in the future."

Nangong Xueyi immediately retorted: "I have met a lot of men and read a lot of books. You have forgotten that I am also writing a book. In order to write a book, I have visited the men of the official families in Kyoto, the children of the royal family, the disciples of the rich family, and the common people.

I have carefully observed the common people. I can say with certainty that your brother-in-law is one of the best men I have ever met. Weimo, I can’t figure out how such an outstanding man can do anything.

Will there be an in-law in your family? Your Qin family is very lucky, right?"

Qin Weimo smiled, her heart full of pride, and said: "My sister is lucky. My sister is so beautiful. Isn't it right to find a good man?"

Nangong Xueyi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and couldn't help but turn her head to look at the girl behind her, and whispered: "That's right, your sister is so beautiful no matter how you look at her, I feel stunning every time I look at her, she has no flaws at all. Like this

A woman should indeed have a good man to match her. However, I still can't figure it out. Your brother-in-law actually got married into the family, and now he has even won the first place in the national examination. With his talent, I can be sure that he will definitely be the top candidate in the spring of next year.

. Even if he is not the top pick, he will definitely be the second best pick and cannot escape."

Second Miss Qin's face was full of smiles, and she was secretly proud and said: If I let you know that my brother-in-law is not only good at literary talent, he also practices martial arts, and if he didn't deliberately hide his clumsiness, he was admitted to Longhu Academy this year, I'm afraid you will be even more surprised.

Nangong Xueyi looked at the tall and graceful figure in front of her who was wearing a Confucian robe and chatting with the Taoist nun, her eyes shining.

Miss Qin Er glanced at her and reminded her in a low voice: "Sister Xueyi, my brother-in-law has a very good relationship with my sister."

When Miss Qin behind her heard this, she glanced at her but said nothing.

Nangong Xueyi said "Oh" and continued to look ahead.

Second Miss Qin suddenly felt helpless when she thought of her bold remarks on the carriage just now.

The higher you climb, the steeper the mountain road becomes.

Everyone in the Qin family was panting from exhaustion and sweating profusely.

The female Taoist priest, who calls herself Qingyou Taoist, climbed all the way up without blushing or sweating. She still walked lightly and looked calm.

Luo Qingzhou had already used the breath gathering technique taught to him by Sister Yue to shut down his warrior aura. In order not to arouse suspicion, he walked slower and slower, becoming more and more strenuous as he walked. He rested several times with everyone in the Qin family.

I deliberately wiped my sweat several times, but I was still out of breath.

When he was still some distance away from the mountain gate, he asked to stop and rest.

There happened to be a pavilion next to it.

He quickly asked Zhuer to help Miss Qin Er, who was already dripping with sweat and her body was limp, and went into the pavilion to rest.

Everyone in the Qin family immediately entered the pavilion.

Taoist Qingyou also followed in and said: "There are still about two miles to go, we are almost there."

There is a stone tablet erected in the pavilion.

The stone tablet was broken in half, with two lines of text engraved on it. The rest of the text has disappeared.

Nangong Xueyi took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead and neck, then took the water bottle from the maid's hand and drank some water. She looked at the stone tablet, breathed for a while, and whispered softly: "Rootless tree"

, Hua Zhengyou, who is willing to give up after being greedy for glory. Floating things happen, a boat on the sea of ​​​​suffering, drifting away and never coming..."

Then he frowned, turned around and asked, "Taoist Priest Qingyou, where's the one behind you?"

Taoist Qingyou came over, took a look at the words on the stone tablet, and sighed: "No one behind you knows that this stone tablet is older than our Qingyun Temple. We are also very sorry that we don't know what is written on the back.

.But someone in the audience has taken over the following content. You can go and take a look when you go up later."

Nangong Xueyi frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly turned to look at the young man who was drinking water outside the pavilion, and said crisply: "Master Luo, can you try to take it?"

Hearing this, Luo Qingzhou returned the kettle to Zhu'er and walked over to take a look. Just when he was about to shake his head and refuse, Bai Ling said crisply: "The ones made by my uncle are definitely better than those in the temple."

Taoist Qingyou smiled faintly when he heard this: "If this is really the case, I am afraid that the temple owner will come out to express his gratitude in person. The temple owner is most regretful about this broken poem. He used to often look at the stone tablet here and sigh."

Luo Qingzhou's eyes narrowed and he looked at the broken poem on the stone tablet again.

After watching it for a long time, he pondered it in his mind, and then said, "Then I'll try to pick up half of the poem. If it's not good, Taoist Master Qingyou will just forget it after hearing it. Don't make fun of me."

Taoist Qingyou smiled and said, "Young master, you can do whatever you want, but I won't laugh at you."

Luo Qingzhou looked at the stone tablet, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Based on the meaning and rhyme of the first half of the poem, I think it would be better to add the word "freedom" to the missing word after "swinging and floating".

good."

After that, he read aloud: "There are trees without roots, flowers are quiet, who is willing to give up after being greedy for glory. Floating things, like a boat in the sea of ​​suffering, it is not free to drift... Boundless, no shore, difficult to moor, often swimming in dangerous places with fish and dragons

.If you are willing to look back, you are on the other side of the shore. Don’t wait for the storm to damage the boat.”

After reading this poem, there was a sudden silence in the pavilion.

Taoist Qingyou muttered it several times, and the look on his face became more and more solemn.
