Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 96 Meeting the Great Virtue in the Mountains and Forests

Because of his psychological gap, Luo Yan really has no intention of studying these days.

He simply said hello to Li Xuandao, and Luo Yan went out this day and planned to continue to visit Xuandu to relax.

Originally, I thought that the peach blossoms on this mountain only lasted about ten days, and some of them bloomed later. If you get closer, you can see a few peach blossoms blooming.Unexpectedly, Luo Yan was completely disappointed.

Far below the mountain of Xuandu Temple, Luo Yan saw a piece of emerald green with a few patches of pink scattered here and there, but it disappeared even when the wind blew.

Because of the loss in his heart, Luo Yan came this time to see the scenery.The mountain road is long, but Luo Yan also climbs up the stairs step by step.

On both sides of the mountain road at the beginning, a large number of trees were planted. At this moment, the sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, and the stars fall on the mountain road, giving people a dark but not dull feeling.And the weather was just right, it was not yet hot. Although the mountain path was covered by trees and it was difficult for the breeze to blow through, Luo Yan did not feel the slightest heat after walking for such a distance.

I felt much better immediately.Could it be that Luo Yan still stopped to look at the wild flowers that had just withered by the roadside, and sometimes saw wild animals like rabbits jumping in front of him by chance.The birds sang a song from time to time in the forest, and when one side sang, there was a response there.With nothing to do, Luo Yan also spent a little extravagantly, exchanging a door skill from the system, specially imitating various bird songs.

Simply, after walking for a while, he happened to see a large flat stone on the side of the road, lying on the stone, closing his eyes, Luo Yan listened to the birds, and then used his ventriloquism to talk to the birds that came and went in the forest. The sound echoes.

Although there was no wind, the cool air in the mountains flowed, and Luo Yan could feel a burst of refreshment as he lay down so comfortably.He simply kept responding to those birdsong for a long time, and unknowingly, fell asleep like this.

Luo Yan was awakened by a bird.As he was sleeping soundly, he felt a few crisp chirps in his ears, and when he opened his eyes, he found an unknown bird beside him, landing not far from his head at this moment.

When Luo Yan opened his eyes, he moved his head, and the frightened bird quickly flew away.Luo Yan was left alone in a daze.

At this moment, Luo Yan was thinking in his heart, fortunately, the bird didn't solve any physical problems just now, otherwise it would be too embarrassing if he really had to solve it on his face.

Seeing that the sun was overhead, Luo Yan was not very hungry anyway, so Luo Yan simply continued to look at the scenery.

Hearing the sound of running water not far away, since there were no large beasts in this mountain anyway, Luo Yan followed the sound of water and walked to the edge of a stream with confidence.I just walked for a while, although I was not hungry, but my mouth was a little dry, so I didn't care about hygiene, so I took a mouthful of stream water and drank it.

The clear water refreshed Luo Yan physically and mentally. The cool feeling flowed from his throat to his stomach, and the restlessness in his heart seemed to be washed away a lot.

Luo Yan couldn't help sighing: "Good mountain, good water."

Although Luo Yan's voice was extremely low, it seemed a little loud in this empty mountain.

Then Luo Yan heard a sentence from a distance: "How can I miss a good man." Then a hearty laughter came from far and near.

Luo Yan was taken aback, at first he thought this place was inaccessible, but who would have thought that someone would come here and meet him just in time.Fortunately, listening to this person is not a bad person, and Luo Yan also thinks he has some force, so he quietly waits for the speaker to come.

After waiting for a short time, a figure appeared in front of Luo Yan's eyes.His face was covered by the greenery in front of him, so he couldn't see it clearly.But wearing a blue Taoist robe, it shows that this person is most likely a Taoist priest from Xuandu Temple.Judging by his height, he is more than seven feet, but because other things are not clear for the time being, it is hard to judge his age.

Going forward, he was already tens of steps away from Luo Yan, and only then did Luo Yan clearly see the appearance of the person who came.On the clear face, a pair of eyes full of wisdom, and the long beard reaching to the chest, glowing with silvery white light.Coupled with a high bun, and a pair of straw sandals on the feet.If you count the spots of light leaking from the leaves behind you, you can look like a fairy descended from the world.

Looking at this fairy-like Taoist priest who is full of kindness, Luo Yan was shocked for a while.I didn't expect to meet such a strange person just by walking around.

The Taoist priest only had a bamboo stick in his hand, but judging from his vigorous figure, the bamboo stick was probably used to protect his own safety.At that moment, Luo Yan also smiled and said to the Taoist priest: "Unexpectedly, when I went out for a casual walk today, I met a true immortal." Of course, Luo Yan's words were a bit flattering, after all, the two of them didn't talk much, It's just a meeting, a lot of glances, so to speak, it's really not very reliable.

The old Taoist pointed to the two stones by the stream, motioned Luo Yan to sit down, and said, "You young man, you have such a slippery mouth, even if I am an old Taoist, I only believe that there are great virtues in this world and no true immortals. You Well, throwing the two together to the old Taoist will really damage my practice."

"Haha, if the Taoist priest can say this, he already has great virtue. What's more, immortals are also mountain people. If you have great virtue in your heart, why bother to admire Changsheng." Luo Yan followed the old Taoist priest's words.

It is said in "Shuowen Jiezi" that immortals and immortals move away.It means that the immortal is a long-lived person.On the contrary, Luo Yan played a trick here and directly dismantled the immortal character, which fits the current situation exactly.

The old Taoist said with a smile: "I said you were slick, but I didn't expect you to be slick all over. If the little Taoist above heard what you said, I don't know what to say in the future." How many people do you need to coax? According to what you say, I am waiting in this mountain forest at this moment, so we are all immortals. However, this last sentence is indeed good. If you have great virtue in your heart, why bother to admire Changsheng? Out of the true meaning of my way."

"Haha, it seems that it's really not easy to hear a compliment from you." Luo Yan couldn't help but laugh when he heard the old Taoist nagging for a while.It seems that this person's status in Xuanduguan is not low, and everyone has the feeling to say that those in Xuanduguan are small Taoist priests.

"Although your mouth is a little slippery, what you said is really meaningful." The old Taoist said approvingly.

Before Luo Yan, the old Taoist priests saw a lot of alchemy and cultivation of immortals in Taoism, opened furnaces to refine alchemy, took stones to gather energy, and there were many tricks, but there was no such thing as Luo Yan, a young junior, who put himself these lifelong pursuits Let me tell you the truth.

In fact, among these people who have become monks and Taoists, there is no lack of wisdom. This long-term knowledge is also very indifferent.However, when reading Taoist classics, it is not uncommon to see such words as cultivating immortals between the lines.Coupled with the need of the emperor, naturally, regardless of Buddhism or Taoism, this matter of cultivating immortality and longevity has become a prominent study.

Seeing Luo Yan's eloquence, the old Taoist gradually began to have a conversation with Luo Yan.Now I talked with Luo Yan for a long time about Lao Zhuang's article.

The more they talked, the more the two sides discovered that the other party's research on Taoism was profound.The old Taoist has lived for so long, his rich life experience and long time have given him a unique understanding of Taoist classics.As for Luo Yan these days, while reading Taoist articles, combined with the books he had read in the past, he got a lot of benefits regardless of the door.

No, the two of them chatted happily until sunset, when Luo Yan's stomach growled, and then they stopped.

I didn't see the old Taoist inviting Luo Yan to eat in his temple. Instead, he got up and patted the dust off his body, and asked Luo Yan, "After talking for so long, what's your name, my son?"

Luo Yan was embarrassed when he asked this question, and he forgot everything as soon as he said it: "Boy Luo Yan, dare to ask who is so tall?"

The old Taoist didn't answer Luo Yan's question, but just said: "The one whose mountain is not high, but who has a fairy name?" Hearing that his name was known in this way, Taoist Luo Yan was flattered and said: "Boy It's that Luo Yan."

After hearing this, the old Taoist smiled and turned to leave, and then a sentence floated from a distance: "I remember you, glib boy. We will meet each other naturally in the future."

Even the name, the old man didn't want to leave it to Luo Yan, what else could Luo Yan do besides making complaints about it.

Seeing that he just wanted to go back to Chang'an City at this time, and he would only be blocked outside the city gate when he arrived, so Luo Yan planned to stay at Xuandu Temple for one night.

There are people in court who are easy to handle, Luo Yan found Xu Zhi, and after donating a little incense money, Luo Yan quickly got a clean guest room.

But at this time, Luo Yan didn't want to move in so soon.He still has a lot of questions in his mind, waiting to ask Xu Zhi.

Pulling Xu Zhi to his residence, Luo Yan began to ask: "Does the temple master know if there are any old Taoist priests in this temple who think they have long beards and white hair?"

"If you follow your similarity, you can find out five or six if you don't say anything. I wonder who exactly Luo Xiaoshu is looking for?" Xu Zhi thought about all the Taoists he had met these days, and gave Luo Yan gave such an answer.

Feeling that his description was not detailed enough, Luo Yan began to describe in detail the appearance of the old Taoist priest he met just now.Including clothing and expression, Luo Yan gave Xu Zhi exactly what he said.

Thinking about it carefully, Luo Yan was disappointed by Xu Zhi's answer: "According to your description, I am afraid that there is not a single person who matches in the temple. You will not really meet a fairy."

Xu Zhi is a little excited at the moment, you know, encountering a fairy is a great event in this era.And Luo Yan was the one who met the immortal, so speaking of it, Xu Zhi felt that he would have more face in the future.

Thinking about what the old Taoist said later, we will meet again in the future, and the other party is obviously a mortal body, Luo Yan denied Xu Zhi's statement, but said seriously: "That is for a master of Taoism, not a fairy, I am afraid It's your Taoist predecessors. As for the matter of encountering immortals, it's better not to talk nonsense."

Seeing Luo Yan's denial, Xu Zhi had no choice but to give up.
