Laoshan Taoist Chapter 14: Bandits
Laoshan Xuegong’s scholar's conference is extremely rare every time it is held, because the organizer is not only the internal staff of the Xuegong, but also the participation of the nobles of the court, and it is very grand.
The main purpose is to test the abilities of the scholars in the academic palace, so as to facilitate the selection of talents, focus on training, and even if they are favored by any nobleman, they can make it to the sky in one step.
Secondly, there will be scholars from other academies, as well as civil scholars, who will come to exchange ideas.
Laoshan Xuegong’s handle is the palace lord, and the second in command is the old master. It is divided into four courtyards: Shengfa, Shengshu, Shengshu, and Shengzheng.
The current dean of Sheng Academy is the one who has friendship with the old Taoist priest. This person was once a celebrity, a wealthy one, and a kindness.
Many years ago, when an old Taoist wandered around, some disciples of Taoist temple caught fire and accidentally burned most of the buildings. It was this man who generously helped him to rebuild Taoist temple and overcome difficulties.
I haven't seen him for many years now. Perhaps the dean wanted to meet an old friend, or for other reasons, so he sent out the invitation.
Because of such a history, the Laoshan Academy visit this time, the old Taoist priests are naturally not good to go.
Originally, he didn't mean to take the disciple there. After all, he just met old friends and returned soon. There was no need for that.
, after a cloud flow in my opinion, I recommended Wang Yan, and after talking about his various deeds in studying the scriptures in the past few months, the old Dao just remembered this person.
It has been more than eight months since I think about it. This person is so not afraid of hard training. The original greedy and lazy personality has disappeared, and he still has no intention to retreat. It seems that the heart to seek the truth is really firm!
Since this is the case, it's better to take him with him, and take this opportunity to increase his horizons, and at the same time hone his mind and ability to do things. These will be of great benefit to his future practice.
The scholarship meeting will be held in seven days. Because of the long distance, Wang Yan, the two masters and disciples, had already left three days ahead.
As for the long ears, Wang Yan also took a lot of effort and promised to bring delicious food to him when he came back, so he stayed on the mountain and asked his brother to take care of it.
is March in the sun and spring, the world is full of spring, and the birds and flowers are fragrant.
With the magical powers of an old Taoist priest, he could reach the destination in no time by casting a spell, but with Wang Yan following, he naturally couldn't make this apprentice so cheap.
Therefore, this entire section of the mountain road is all on foot.
started from Taoist Temple and went west along the Laoshan branch. Until now, he has climbed two high mountains and passed three valleys.
The old Taoist priest walked leisurely, holding the whisk in his right hand and his left hand behind him.
It's strange to say that after walking such a long mountain road, his robe is not stained with dust at all, and there is no sign of fatigue.
Looking back at Wang Yan, even though he has practiced martial arts for several months to strengthen his body, it is inevitable that he is still a little overwhelmed after walking for so long in a row.
At this moment, he is also in a gray robe, with a burden on his back, and he found a wooden stick in his right hand to act as a cane from somewhere.
The sun is setting, unknowingly, it is almost dusk.
The afterglow of the setting sun gradually elongated the two figures on the mountain road.
"Apprentice, after a day's journey, you must be tired too. When you get off this mountain, find a place to rest!"
The old Taoist priest said while he was rushing.
This section of the mountain road is flat and not steep, so it is not that difficult, and Wang Yan can finally catch his breath.
"Yes! Master."
responded, and Wang Yan hurried to catch up with a cane.
In the secluded jungle, the lush giant trees also blocked the last ray of sunlight, making the entire road extremely dim.
"Yeah... Yeah..."
There was a long cry of old crows, which shocked countless birds, flapping their wings and quickly flew away from the branches.
There are bushes on both sides of the road, surrounded by branches and leaves, and the shadows of the trees reflected are like ghosts, and the mountains and forests are slightly gloomy.
If he were to walk this mountain road alone, and at nightfall, he might be afraid of some poisonous insects and beasts, and even mountain spirits and wild monsters.
But with the Master here, all dangers will no longer be dangerous, and he is facing the biggest problem right now, that is, hunger.
"Hey!"
Wang Yan was walking with his head buried, and suddenly there was a loud shout in front of him.
"This way..."
"Bah! It's been a day of guarding, and it's **** bad for two poor Taoists to guard!"
Three or five human figures, fierce and evil, leaped out of the bushes beside the road, all of them covered with black towels, armed with swordsmen, and strong and physically strong.
The one headed by saw their dress clearly, and even the most basic jargon was omitted, and the mouth was a burst of cursing.
turned out to be a bandit.
Wang Yan reacted, but there was no turmoil in his heart.
District bandits, what a worry!
Even if there is a monster, isn't there still a master supporting it?
"Immeasurable life! Several heroes are polite. I waited for the two masters and apprentices to go down the mountain to visit friends. I have no money. I also hope that some of you can make it easier. Let me wait, and I will go to the top of the mountain to thank you!"
Seeing these bandits, the old Taoist did not rush, stepped forward and called the chief inspector, saying in a polite manner.
"Huh! The long words are serious! Even if you are going down the mountain to visit your friends, how can you not bring your coils? You guys have been guarding this for a day. You can't keep it in vain. You can just let you go, but you have to leave the burden behind ."
Regarding this, they are quite polite. If you encounter ordinary passers-by, where there is such a nonsense, you will just grab it.
There are three types of people who cannot provoke just because of this.
One is a monk such as a monk and Taoist, the other is a poor scholar wearing a weapon, and the third is a madman who runs around.
This taboo is naturally clear to them, so they can't violate it if they don't violate it.
But this time is different. Several people have been squatting for several days without catching a fat sheep, and there is a resentment in their hearts.
Now I finally squatted to two people, even if the geese wanted to fly past, they would have to pluck a few hairs down.
Seeing that they didn't mean to give way, the old Taoist looked at Wang Yan, with a look that made him do it for himself, and then took a big step.
"A good guy! The burden is with my disciple. You can ask him for it. As for the poor, please ask for a accommodating one!"
As soon as this remark came out, the bandit headed for a moment was taken aback, but then he understood that this old Taoist priest also seemed to be afraid of death!
Flying to each other in the face of disaster~IndoMTL.com~Not to mention being a mentor and apprentice, even a real brother, in times of crisis, he will only choose to protect himself first.
Is there such a thing as rare in the world?
He stretched out his hand and touched the old Taoist priest, but found nothing. With a wink, the strong men behind him gave way.
"Get out of here! It's unlucky for me to meet you as a thief."
The old Taoist priest thanked him, then looked back at Wang Yan, a smile appeared on his face, and he left along the road.
"Boy, your master doesn't care about you anymore, so those who know you can quickly take out the money, and avoid brothers who do it yourself."
The strong man headed by waved a single blow and pointed directly at Wang Yan.
Even if the old Taoist can't afford it, can the little Taoist not afford it?
Looking at his fragile appearance, how can he compete with the five of them?
Wang Yan didn't expect this scene of .
Master just left? Leave him alone? Is there any conscience to be a good teacher?
Although he was just ordinary bandits, he was able to deal with it completely, but he left so indifferently, he seemed to know the result, and he didn't worry about his safety at all.
Could it be that the master left him deliberately to practice his hands?
Thinking of his smile for a moment, it's quite a possibility.
But no matter what, the burden can't be robbed by them.
After practicing for so long, Zhengzhou has no place to display it. No matter what the reason is, now that someone has brought it to the door, it is a godsend. How can you let it go?
looked at these bandits, the corners of Wang Yan's mouth rose slightly, revealing a harmless smile.
Immediately afterwards, there was a scream like killing a pig on the mountain road...
