Laoshan Taoist Chapter 21: The dean comes home
I visited the Xuegong for about two hours, and I haven't thoroughly visited it yet, which shows how vast the area of the Laoshan Xuegong is.
But wherever he walked, Wang Yan almost remembered the path. Since consuming the purple flower that bloomed on the black vine, his memory has greatly improved. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is not forgetting.
got acquainted with the venue they needed to reach tomorrow, and the general environment in the Academy, and finally had a lunch in the dining hall of the Academy, and the master and apprentice simply left.
Including other judges guests, some left after the tour, and some just arrived. The entrance and exit between the main entrance is quite lively.
Soon after returning to Songfeng Temple, the old Taoist priest was invited by the master to discuss the Taoism. When Wang Yan was bored, he simply practiced his punches in the courtyard outside the wing.
I saw the fist and the wind whistling, one move, one move, faintly in the form of the evil tiger rushing to eat, fierce and domineering, extraordinary fierce.
Time passed unconsciously. Wang Yan didn’t know how long he practiced. He only felt that the more he practiced, the more vigorous he was. The more he practiced, the more he could find a certain feeling. There is a special resonance with the mind.
"Good!"
After another set of moves, Wang Yan hasn't gotten out of this feeling. At this moment, the palm of the yard suddenly sounded in applause.
Wang Yan returned his fist to collect his power, and looked towards the source of the sound.
I saw an obese old man wearing a light gray gown and a Confucian crown, with a kind complexion and a slight smile, standing by the courtyard gate.
Wang Yan couldn't help but wonder.
Here is the guest room. At present, he and the master are the only ones who can be accommodated.
If the old man was a pilgrim who came to enjoy incense, he would not have come here, and judging from his dress and temperament, he obviously did not look like a Taoist priest.
In that case, what is his identity? Why are you here?
Before Wang Yan could move, the old man had already stepped forward first, looked at him with a pair of eyes, and suddenly said.
"The little Daoist punch is really fierce! The tiger is so powerful, the old man can't help it for a while. Didn't I bother the Daoist?"
was praised by him, and Wang Yan was naturally unwilling to respond, so he hurriedly hit him and saluted him.
"The old gentleman passed the prize, and his indiscriminate boxing skills are really unsightly! It's the old gentleman, is it an expert in it?"
As soon as he said this, the old man couldn't help but laugh a few times.
"Hahahaha! The old man practiced a few tricks when he was young, and he was not even as good as you! What a connoisseur, not to mention that he is old now and can’t move anymore. It’s really time for me!"
As soon as he sighed, Wang Yan nodded in agreement.
"The passage of time is a natural state. Why should the old man care, but please cherish the present and live a clear life."
Upon hearing this, the old man's eyes lit up clearly.
"Okay! What a worthy one! I didn't expect you to have such insights at a young age, you really are a famous teacher and a good apprentice!"
The old man stroked his beard with one hand, with a hint of satisfaction on his face.
Hearing this, Wang Yan couldn't help but startled, and noticed that in his last sentence, the meaning between the lines was obviously something wrong.
"Old sir! Do you know my master?"
Wang Yan asked tentatively.
The old man nodded slightly, and then introduced himself.
"The old man's surname is Qiu. He is the dean of the Laoshan Academy of Learning. I must have told you about it before!"
He only saw their reply this morning, and learned that the two lived in this Taoist temple, because they had to deal with some things at the time and couldn’t walk away for a while, until now, did he have time to come to see each other. .
"It turns out that you are Dean Qiu! What a disrespect! Disrespectful!"
Knowing the identity of the other party, Wang Yan hurriedly gave salutes again.
This person’s dress is very simple, but his body is rich, he knows that the food on weekdays is excellent, and there is no dean’s shelf between talking and talking, it’s hard to imagine To.
"My master is discussing the Tao with the subject, since the old dean is here, please sit down for a while, and the younger generation will invite him to come!"
There was a stone table and a stone bench next to him. Wang Yan asked the old man to sit down and was about to leave. However, before he stepped away, there was a sudden voice outside the courtyard, and then the old Taoist walked in.
"No need to go, I already know it as a teacher! Brother Qiu hasn't seen him for many years, don't come here unscathed!"
It turned out that the old man arrived in Guanzhong and said that when he was looking for them, there were already disciples in Guanzhong who came to report.
"Hahahaha! Brother Yuheng, I haven't seen you for so many years, you are still the same, you have not changed at all!"
Dean Qiu got up from the stone bench and strode forward to greet him.
"Wang Yan, what are you still doing, tea!"
Wang Yan reacted and immediately went into the house to get the tea teapot.
The two elderly people sat opposite each other and had a good talk. In addition to asking each other about the situation in recent years, the other issues were related to the conference.
Wang Yan stood on the side and waited, and naturally listened a little too.
Today’s internal appraisal of new disciples, after handling some trivial matters in the morning, he is completely free in the afternoon, so there is no need to worry about work problems.
It’s just three rounds of tea. After the main business is explained, although I am still looking for a topic, the old dean’s complexion is unknowingly darkened, and there seems to be a trace of melancholy between his eyebrows~ IndoMTL.com~ Brother Qiu! As the saying goes, there will be a long time coming to Japan, and gossiping about the old days. I watched Brother Qiu's Yintang darkening, thinking that something went wrong in the coming days, and now that he has come here in person, why not just tell the poor people about the difficulties, or solve them soon! "
The old Taoist took a sip of tea at this moment, and suddenly he said something like this.
The old dean looked at him, a little surprised at first, but then he was relieved, he sighed helplessly, and gave a wry smile.
"I can't hide anything from you! Whatever!"
Wang Yan was also surprised when he said this. He couldn't help but stared at the old dean's forehead for a long time. It was so shiny, why couldn't he see where it was dark?
too! If he can see it, does it need Master to teach!
"This time, Brother Yuheng Tao came to attend the conference with a good face. According to reason, Qiu should have done his best to be a landlord, but now he has a home and can't return. If you are negligent, don't blame Dao brother!"
Dean Qiu looked sad, bowed his hands and expressed apologies.
"Brother Qiu has something to do, please, but it's okay to say, don’t be formal!"
The old Taoist priest thanks him for helping to rebuild the Taoist temple, and forged cause and effect, so I have always wanted to find a chance.
And this old Dean Qiu, there is really no way this time, so he had to invite him to participate in the scholastic assembly as an excuse to clean up a trouble for himself by the way.
For him, this incident was really tormenting him, and even the whole family was uneasy, and now they can’t go back to a home.
But for someone like an old Taoist who possesses profound knowledge, it is nothing more than a trivial matter.
Therefore, I didn’t hesitate now, and slowly explained my own experiences and difficulties.
