Chapter 2 Out of the Mountain
Eighteen years later, in the south of the Yangtze River, China, a small mountain village called Taohuagou.
The village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only a bumpy road leading out of the mountain.
Peach trees are everywhere on the mountain. The mountain wind blows, and the peach blossoms fall, which are beautiful and refreshing.
There are only a hundred households in the entire village. The people are simple and simple. They do not close their houses at night and do not pick up their own remains on the road. They look like a paradise.
A winding river runs across the mountain village and flows slowly out of the mountain.
"Ye Zhengyang, your master called you back!"
At this time, a strong boy wearing local clothes and trousers and smiling face stood by the river, shouting at the river.
"Crash"
As soon as the boy finished speaking, a wave blew up the river water, splashing the boy's head and face, and his clothes were all wet.
Then a bare boy rose from the river.
"Hahaha"
The boy stood by the river with a laugh and wearing clothes.
"Ye Zhengyang!"
The silly boy shook his head, shook the water stains on his hair, and said angrily: "You bully people, look at my casserole fist!"
The stupid boy shouted and raised his fist toward Ye Zhengyang.
"Hahaha"
Ye Zhengyang smiled and rushed up the mountain.
Look at Ye Zhengyang's figure, it is as light as willow catkins, and crossing mountains and ridges like walking on flat ground.
"snort!"
The silly boy watched Ye Zhengyang run away, stopped panting, gritted his teeth and said to himself: "You boy, don't let me catch you!"
On the hillside, Ye Zhengyang stopped and turned to look at the village at the foot of the mountain, showing a happy smile.
After a while, Ye Zhengyang turned around and continued to run up the mountain, passing through a large peach forest, and a dilapidated Taoist temple appeared in front of him.
"Master!"
Ye Zhengyang kicked open the shaking wooden door of the Taoist temple and shouted loudly: "I'm back!"
Walking through the front yard of Taoist temple, Ye Zhengyang came to a side room and pushed open the door.
An old man wearing a linen shirt on the upper body, a pair of fancy shorts on the lower body, and holding a little yellow book in his hand was lying on the bed with relish.
The old man didn't go to see Ye Zhengyang. While looking at Xiao Huangshu, he said carelessly: "Come back when you come back, what about the soul?"
Ye Zhengyang smiled "hehe", sat on the small stool beside the bed, grabbed the peanuts beside the old man and started eating.
"Bang"
The old man slapped Ye Zhengyang on the back of his hand and cursed with a smile: "Let it go, that's all!"
The old man said as he put away the little yellow book in his hand, placed it under the pillow, stood up and looked at Ye Zhengyang, his pair of mung bean-sized eyes flashing constantly.
Seeing the old man's serious look, Ye Zhengyang felt very uncomfortable.
In his impression, the old man always laughed and scolded, unruly, vulgar, and unruly.
Unexpectedly, I changed my expression now.
"Master!"
Ye Zhengyang scratched his head and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Why!"
After a long time, the old man sighed and said, "Zhengyang, you have been learning art with me for 18 years!"
Hearing the old man's words, Ye Zhengyang's smile stopped and a bad premonition arose in his heart, but he still nodded.
The old man rolled his eyes and said, "Eighteen years ago, I picked you up on Yanjing Coal Mountain and preached you the Tao. Now you have learned everything I have learned in my life, and it's time for you to go down the mountain!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhengyang hurriedly said, "Master, I won't go down the mountain, I will always be with you!"
"That's good!"
The old man showed a despicable smile and said, "Then don't leave!"
Then the old man took out a pair of dirty underwear and said, "Go, wash my underwear!"
"vomit"
Ye Zhengyang retching, hurriedly covered his nose, took ten steps back, and said, "Master, I'll go down the mountain!"
The old man grinned, took out a letter and said, "After going down the mountain, you go directly to the Fang family in Longcheng and hand over this letter to Fang Hao!"
"He will arrange everything for you!"
"When I picked you up, you had nothing. Only this pendant was hung around your neck with your name engraved on it. Maybe you could find your parents!"
The old man said as he took out a pendant and threw it at Ye Zhengyang.
Ye Zhengyang took the pendant and saw that it was a rectangular jade piece. The jade piece was crystal clear and delicate, and it looked like it was not an ordinary product.
The front of the jade piece is carved with an angry dragon with its teeth and claws, and the back is carved with three antique characters "Ye Zhengyang" with flying phoenixes.
Ye Zhengyang put away the jade sheet and the letter paper, smiled "hehe" and opened his hand and said, "You have to give me money!"
The old man laughed and scolded: "You bastard!"
The old man said as he took out a stack of money and a two-foot-long cloth bag.
"This is one thousand yuan, and there is also the Master's Sect's Seven-Star Sword with the Big Dipper!"
"As for the Soul-Retention Tower is on you, go there too!"
After hearing the old man's words, Ye Zhengyang jumped up immediately and said, "I have made so much money with you, I will give me one thousand?"
The old man was not upset and said seriously: "Zhengyang, I am also doing your own good. Think about how you have done so many unethical things in your life, and you can use the money for your teacher to do good deeds and accumulate virtues and help you resolve the evil retribution of cause and effect."
Ye Zhengyang suddenly became uneasy and hurriedly said, "When did I do something unethical?"
"Have you done it?" the old man muttered: "Why are Widow Zhang's underwear frequently stolen?"
"Why can the 70-year-old village chief stay out of his golden spear and sing with his wife every night?"
"Why are the two donkeys at the entrance of the village screaming every night..."
"Stop it, what does the Erluzi scream have to do with me?" Ye Zhengyang's face turned red and he screamed hurriedly.
He did steal Widow Zhang's underwear. After all, he lives in the mountains all year round, and is young and full of energy. Widow Zhang has a plump figure and a charming appearance. Who doesn't have the impulse to do it?
What's more, Widow Zhang and his master are not clear about each other and often look at each other.
As for the 70-year-old village chief and his wife, he saw a box of blue pills in his master's drawer, and he was so playful that he put them in the old village chief's teapot. Who knew that the medicine was so effective?
But what the hell is the village chief's second donkey screaming?
He won't take the blame!
"hey-hey"
"Boy, I know I'm cowardly? After doing so many things, you dare to say that you have never done anything immoral?" The old man looked at Ye Zhengyang with a smile.
Ye Zhengyang pursed his lips: "Aren't you taught these?"
"I have learned all of this from you. If I am unethical, you old bastard have lived for so long, and you still have to be so immoral that you smoked from your butt?"
The old man was silent for a few seconds and said angrily: "You are a villain, you are a big or a little one. You are kind to think about you for your kindness. You slander me like this. You are shameless!"
"Bah, I don't care. You have to share some of the money anyway." Ye Zhengyang simply acted like a hooligan.
"The travel fee is not expensive, and the meal is not expensive?"
"You evil disciple, I have raised you for eighteen years. I raised you with shit and urine. You even talked to me about money?" The old man was a little angry.
Ye Zhengyang's body shook and felt disgusted. What did I eat to grow up?
Immediately afterwards, the old man's voice sounded again, but it was a little tired: "Zhengyang, my teacher is incompetent and cannot find out what is in your body. Now I can only let you go down the mountain. When I was stealing the secret of heaven and divination for you, I will turn into a dragon when I encounter wind and clouds, and soar straight into the sky!"
"I am tired as a teacher. Now the deadline is approaching. I want to go out to the mountains and travel around the world again while I am alive. If you are fine, don't go back to the mountains."
Final?
Ye Zhengyang frowned and felt sad.
But he immediately reacted and gritted his teeth and said, "Old bastard, after saying so much, you just don't want to give money, right?"
"Ahem"
The old man said awkwardly: "Zhengyang, I still have something to do for my teacher, so I won't tell you for now. Remember, don't come back if you have nothing to do, and I won't be here if I come back."
"There are also the Big Dipper Seven Star Sword and the Soul-Retaining Tower that are important treasures of the master's sect, so you have to watch it!"
After saying that, the old man pushed Ye Zhengyang out and then closed the door.
Ye Zhengyang raised his middle finger at the door, despised the old man fiercely, and turned around and walked out of the Taoist temple.
After walking out of the Taoist temple, Ye Zhengyang turned around and knelt down at the Taoist temple, and bowed three times.
Although Ye Zhengyang often bickered with the old man, the old man's kindness to him was remembered in his heart.
In the 18th year, the old man and Ye Zhengyang were in love with father and son, and had a deep relationship.
"Old man, I'm leaving. I'll come back to see you if I have time!"
After Ye Zhengyang left, the old man suddenly appeared on the stone steps in front of the Taoist temple and said with a smile: "Crazy!"
