Chapter 99: Hidden fish in a sheath

Before he finished washing the clothes, Li Nianshan let Li Baizhu go down the mountain to purchase the things he needed, but waited until the clothes were washed, and after they were all dried, he arranged the clothes and turned to close the bamboo house. Door, went down the mountain.
Originally, he planned to go down the mountain to meet a certain girl and buy things by the way, but now that Li Baizhu volunteered, he also saved the time of shopping and only had to see a certain girl.
Speaking of this girl, Li Nianshan actually has a lot to say. When he saw her on the mountain for the first time that year, he was only a teenager, and he seemed to have planted a seed in his heart. At first he didn’t think he had taken root and sprouted. But after half a year later I saw her on the mountain again, only to realize that she had really taken root. It was just that Li Nianshan was timid, and Master had high hopes. He kept this matter in his heart, but he had no intentions for several years. Cultivation, finally took that step, but fortunately, according to Li Nianshan's point of view, it was very good, so all the torment of the past has been forgotten.
After going down the mountain road to Qingshan Town, Li Nianshan did not rush to the small yard. Instead, he bought a bowl of watermelon and white fungus porridge from the vendors along the street for six cents. Li Nianshan remembered it clearly. Occasionally the hawkers who went up the mountain recognized Li Nianshan as the Taoist priest of the Qingshan Temple, so they added more white fungus to the bowl, which seemed to have a big bowl, which made Li Nianshan a little embarrassed.
In the end, Li Nianshan sent a check on him before leaving with the bowl.
Walking through the downtown area, I came to a small courtyard with a quiet environment. The wooden door was vacant and not closed tightly. Li Nianshan pushed in and saw a gentle old woman under the mulberry tree in the small courtyard.
The old woman watched Li Nianshan push the door and entered, but didn't respond. She just looked into the distance, and there was nothing unusual between her eyes. Li Nianshan beat the old woman who was said to be the girl’s aunt and bypassed it. A mulberry tree, went to stand on the stone steps in front of the house, and yelled Chuliu softly. Thinking of the name, Li Nianshan always laughed unconsciously. According to her, she was born on the sixth day of the new year. Therefore, I took a homophonic sound when naming it, so I called the name Chuliu. Over the years, I didn't feel anything wrong, but Li Nianshan always talked, and laughed when he talked about it.
After a while, the door was opened, and a woman in a sarong appeared in front of Li Nianshan. The girl had a good face and a tall stature. She seemed to be taller than Li Nianshan. Li Nianshan raised his head slightly and passed this. A bowl of watermelon and white fungus soup, he went to sit down on the steps under the eaves, and when Chu Liu was next to him, and started to drink this bowl of white fungus soup, Li Nianshan began to talk about what he had prepared and what else was left. Not ready, finally talked about the money his master gave. After talking for a long time, he took out the money bag and handed it to the woman in front of him. He smiled and said, "You take it, and when I get married, I will go down the mountain to find a job. , How can you have to worry about food and clothing? I can read a lot of words and read a lot of books. I can go down the mountain to be a schoolmaster. Anyway, there are so few teachers who teach people literacy. The school accepts me."
Chu Liu frowned, "You are a Taoist priest on the mountain, even if you go down the mountain in the future, how can you do this without fear that your master will chase you and fight?"
Li Nianshan hesitated for a moment, and said with some uncertainty: "Master looks fierce, but he is actually very good to me. It shouldn't be the case. It's just that I'm a Taoist priest. It seems that there is something wrong with teaching people to read. Hey, there is no way, just think of a way at that time."
Chu Liu smiled and didn't say a word. She didn't want to say anything to make him make a decision. It's just that she knew something about the differences in these mountains, so she had the idea to speak before.
Sitting on the steps, Li Nianshu began to talk about the things that happened on the mountain at these times. He said which senior brother cut the paper and which senior brother pastes the lantern. Anyway, Xuxu talked about a lot of things, and Chu Liu tilted his head against him. On his shoulder, after listening to what he said, he smiled and reminded him in a low voice, "Don't forget to buy sweets. You will have to send them."
Li Nianshan nodded and responded, saying that he would never forget these things. Finally, when Chu Liu finished the bowl of white fungus soup, he smiled and took the bowl, stood up, and said that there were still many things to deal with on the mountain. About to turn around and leave, Chu Liu pulled his sleeves and handed him a willow branch.
Li Nianshan smiled cleanly, and then turned and left after taking it.
When he passed under the mulberry tree again, Li Nianshan saluted the old woman before leaving the courtyard and returning to the mountain.
The old woman got up only after Li Nianshan had left, went to the steps in front of the house over there, and looked at the woman who was sitting still. The old woman looked cold, "You really decided to marry him, a little Taoist priest. Now the cultivation base is gone, he can afford it if something happens in the future? Maybe he is willing to take it?"
Chu Liu smiled and nodded, "He can't afford it, he can't afford it. Anyway, I feel willing to marry him. If there is such a day, I will die together. His master came to see him a few days ago. Well, what can be dangerous in this small place, besides, I really like him."
The old woman's expression remained the same, she said indifferently, "Originally, the two of you shouldn't have good results. If the expected results come later, don't blame me, the master, for not reminding you. I will take you in. No, you have the heart and powerlessness, you must go to find death, and I can't stop it."
Chu Liu didn't answer the conversation, just covered his mouth and smiled.
The old woman sighed and said softly: "Since he is willing to give up his cultivation for you, he is actually worth entrusting, but you, if you follow him, you really don't have the slightest strength to protect yourself. "
Chu Liu had an intoxicating smile on his face, learning what those books often say between talented men and beautiful ladies, and whispered softly: "You don't deserve your concubine, how can your concubine be your concubine?"

After Li Nianshan walked out of the small courtyard, he didn't rush up the mountain, first went to return the bowl, and then wandered around the street before preparing to turn back to the mountain, but only then turned his head and heard a gentle voice coming into his ears. .
"Leader stays."
Li Nianshan turned his head and saw that there was a middle-aged man in a gray robe with a short sword hanging from his waist, looking at him not far away.
The gray-robed man had a mellow smile on his face. After seeing Li Nianshan turned his head, he just continued to ask: "Do you disturb the Daoist Chief, can the Daoist Chief look on the green hills to observe the cultivation?"
Li Nianshan nodded, hit the chief inspector, and replied, "The trail Li Nianshan is the Taoist priest on the mountain. I wonder if the layman has any advice?"
The gray-robed man chuckled, not hiding it at all, "At Xia Xi Chu Nan, I was thinking about going up the mountain to find someone. I don't know if the Daoist chief will also return to the mountain, and just go up the mountain together."
Li Nianshan showed a clean smile, nodded, and did not refuse, leading Xichunan to the mountain, but before stepping into the mountain road, Li Nianshan asked as he walked: "The layman uses a sword, I wonder if he has already entered the house?"
People outside the mountain distinguish between swordsmen and swordsmen. It is like whether to enter the hall or not. As long as they enter the first stage of the swordsman, they are deemed to have entered the hall. Otherwise, they are not. That's why Li Nianshan has this question. There is a mountain of swords, but in fact, few swordsmen have been exposed before the eyes of the world. Li Nianshan asked this, in fact, most of it was out of curiosity.
Xichu Nan Wen said: "It's considered to have crossed the threshold, but it's not far."
Although Li Nianshan is a little Taoist priest on the mountain, he knows that this kendo is much more dangerous than the road of cultivation of the three religions. Therefore, I still admire the rare swordsmen in these mountains and rivers. Listen to Xi Chunan. After speaking, Li Nianshan praised from the bottom of his heart: "The lay priest has great perseverance and is much stronger than the trail."
Xi Chunan smiled and shook his head, "It's not like great perseverance. It's just that I yearn for it at a young age. After practicing swords, I didn't feel much pain. I have never regretted it all the way to this day. The only regret is that I couldn't leave. Go further."
Li Nianshan chuckled softly: "I have a personal chance, but it's hard to say."
Xi Chunan smiled and nodded, "I didn't expect the trail to be very young, but I saw it very thoroughly."
Li Nianshan was embarrassed and said, "Master used to say that I didn't do my job properly, but that avenue was really not what the trail likes. Now it is better. Abandoning that avenue, the trail has finally found its own way."
Xi Chunan smiled. After descending from Jianshan Mountain, he walked a lot of roads, but the reason why he came to Qingshan in the end was probably because the master did not want to hide something, and even deliberately revealed some breath, so that Xi Chunan kept finding it. Here, it seems to be preparing to take a sword on this mountain.
And this sword came from Xichunan.
As the strongest in the ruined temple at the foot of Jianshan Mountain, he was actually not sure about this sword.
In fact, even the old ancestor would not be sure, but he wanted to make a sword, so he came, regardless of the consequences.
When he reached the bamboo house halfway up the mountain, Li Nianshan stopped. Please wash Chunan to enter the bamboo house to rest. He did not refuse to wash Chunan, but when passing by the water pool, he asked to wash his hair. Li Nianshan nodded and quickly took it from the bamboo house. Come to the tub.
After Xichu Nan took over, she really washed her hair in front of the water pool.
After washing, whether it was dry or not, I re-twisted the bun.
Then the big brother at the foot of Jianshan Mountain, facing the mountain, laughed loudly: "I'm here."
In the small courtyard on the mountain, the contemplative watcher opened his eyes and said softly, "Okay."
The sound was not loud, but it was clearly heard in Xi Chu Nan's ears.
He held the hilt of the fish hidden in his waist, full of sword spirit.
There is wind around the bamboo house.
The sound of wind is the sound of swords.
Endlessly.
