Laoshan Taoist Chapter 48: Homecoming


   In the letter, hundreds of words are eloquent, telling the situation in his home after parting. The more Wang Yan looks down, the deeper his brows frown.

   After he left home, his wife independently supported the home. Although several brothers and sisters often help, they can live a good life, but some people who do good things often point her to her.

   said that she didn't keep the wife's way, her husband ran away with others, and she didn't want her, etc., a lot of gossip, in short, how ugly to say.

   Originally, she wanted to come and find Wang Yan, but she was a woman of her own, and she had never traveled far, let alone whether she could endure a long journey, and without a guide, she couldn't even get out of the city.

   In the past three years, she has written an unknown number of letters, but all have fallen to the ground, except for a letter from him in the spring two years ago, and has never received a reply since then.

   In this era, the transportation is inconvenient, and the correspondence between relatively long distances is actually normal because of various reasons on the way.

   Fortunately, the sixth sister saw her poor, and at that time she had taken her to her own home, and she had also asked someone to find her, but there was no news.

  The other brothers and sisters have their own affairs to be busy. Although they sometimes care about them, they don't take the slightest action. In fact, they are unreliable.

   In addition, a year ago, the fourth elder brother passed away from illness and returned to the west. The eldest brother’s only son fought with others and was unfortunately killed.

   Since then, the eldest brother has been depressed and unhappy all day long, and often resorted to alcohol to dissipate his sorrows. The rest of the brothers and sisters in order to inherit the family property, so they made a fuss about choosing an heir.

   In the end, I am myself. I am still in the sixth sister's house. I just hope that if he can see the letter, please go home and have a look.

   One day husband and wife Hundred Days Grace, whether it is for themselves or this family, they have been wandering outside for three years, so it's time to go back!

   The date of the signature is February 18th. Today is exactly the fifth day of March, half a month before and after this letter was delivered to him. This shows how much information is being delivered in this era. behind.

   I remember that it took more than 20 days for the original owner to arrive at Laoshan from home.

   The two places are about a thousand miles apart. This kid just can get to other people's carts and horses for most of the distance, and he has a lot of endurance.

   I thought I would learn immortality when I arrived. Who expected that immortality would not be learned, but instead was chopping wood day and night and being used as slavery. How could this be tolerated?

   After reading the family letter, Wang Yan couldn't help but sighed helplessly.

   Regarding the memory at home, he got very little from the original owner. It was always hazy and the memory was particularly vague. He didn't know whether it was the original owner or the reason why he passed over.

   The original Wang Qi was just a silly scholar. He didn't do business all day and was idle. He didn't have the perseverance to seek immortal learning.

   Now I dove in the magpie’s nest, occupying people’s body, and the soul and skin are combined into one. I live by his body, and he also lives by his soul. To be precise, he has already lived without distinction. .

   Then his family affairs will naturally become his own family affairs, and his family members, who are in the sense of reason, should not be ignored.

   "Oh! These years, it really hurt her!"

  Wang Yan could hardly imagine that a woman who lived in ancient times was abandoned by her husband, supporting her family alone, and also suffering from the coldness and slander of the worldly people, how hard it would be!

   At the moment, he has stepped into the path of spiritual practice, which is a slight achievement. Since he knows about the family affairs, he will feel uneasy if he doesn't end it.

   Furthermore, his future practice will have a lot to do with it. It’s better to take this opportunity to take a leave of absence from Master, visit relatives in the hometown, and travel around the world by the way.

   made up his mind, Wang Yan collected the letter, and without hesitation, immediately went straight to ask Master for leave.

  Listening to him clarify the reason, Lao Dao granted it.

   This group of them belongs to Zhengyi's sect. There are not so many strict dogmas. It is okay to marry a wife and have children, drink and eat meat.

   Even if you are not in Taoist temple, you can live at home and practice.

   It’s normal for people to go back to the hometown to visit relatives. You can’t practise Taoism and your six relatives don’t recognize it. I remember that his disciples, there were people who took the whole family to practice together before, they are all commonplace and accustomed.

   As long as they don’t violate the doctrine, the sect’s laws and regulations, and don’t do things that hurt the world, the disciples’ housework, the veteran is too lazy to take care of it.

   got the master's permission, Wang Yan went back to pack the luggage that day, and at the same time bid farewell to several seniors, and got ready to go.

   stayed in the Guanzhong for another day. On the morning of the third day, Wang Yan wore a Daomen gray gown with a hair bun, a gourd hanging from his waist, a seven-star sword and a gray cloth bag on his back, and long ears by his side. Follow the path straight down the mountain.

  His home is in Zichuan County, Yunzhou, but Laoshan Mountain is in Qingjiang Mansion. One is in the east and the other is in the west. There are many counties and distances between them. There are more than a thousand miles in total.

   If you are in a hurry, it will take at least two days.

   But now he has magical powers, although he can't do the flying technique of flying through the clouds and fog, but his feet are enough to be worth a good horse!

   No accident, I travel hundreds of miles a day, and I can rush home in ten days.

   is the spring of March, and spring is waning.

   Farmers are busy in the fields, the city is very lively, there are occasional children playing in the streets and lanes, the mountains and forests are common with animals, butterflies flying in the flowers, swarms of bees gathering nectar, the world is peaceful, and the birds and flowers are fragrant.

  Wang Yan hasn't received the urn yet, but he has a teacher to write, and he has a talent and fame before, so he is unimpeded all the way and can go anywhere.

   has been walking like this for five consecutive days. What I have seen, heard, and where I have passed is basically stable and ordinary, and the people live and work in peace and prosperity, in a prosperous state.

  Occasionally, there was an injustice, but it was not his turn to take care of it. The victim filed a complaint with the government, and the master directly taught him how to be a man.

   It’s just that these are what he sees on the bright side, some places he can’t see, but he doesn’t know how miserable it should be.

  ……

  The lush forests are uninhabited~IndoMTL.com~The sky is getting dark.

   This section of the mountain road is a bit long. After traveling for nearly two hours, I don't know how many mountains and valleys have been passed through. I thought I could get to the post before dark, but people are not as good as the sky.

   He once asked people at noon that he had already reached the border of Guanjiang County. The direction to Yunzhou was not wrong, and there was only one road in this section. It was all mountain roads, and most people would have to walk for a long time.

  Although it can be reached by other paths, it just has to go around to other state capitals and walk hundreds of miles in vain.

   After passing this mountain road, we arrived at the next county seat.

  Wang Yan looked at the sky at the time, so he didn't live in the town at all. Who could have expected that this mountain road was so long, he hurriedly hurried, and finally he was defeated.

  Deep mountains and old forests, covered by towering trees, and the setting sun is falling to the west, it looks gloomy right now, and even the path is a little hard to distinguish.

   Fortunately, as a cultivator, Wang Yan has learned all the skills, especially after confronting the monsters head-on, his courage has increased, but he is not too scared.

   If it doesn’t work, he plans to sleep on the spot for one night.

  "咚......咚......咚......"

   A heavy bell sounded, and Wang Yan immediately became energetic.

   hurried away following the sound of the bell and pushed aside the tall weed bushes around him. After a while, an ancient temple appeared before his eyes.

   "Great! Finally there is a place to stay."

   Wang Yan was overjoyed, and walked over in three steps and two steps.

   just approaching the temple, looking up, the three gilt characters on the plaque on the top of the vermilion gate made him froze on the spot.

   Lanruo Temple!
