Longyou Taoist

The Taoist came out of Jianhui Town, found a boatman, traveled along the Jianhui River for several days, and then drifted outside.He hastily paid the boat fare, and headed towards a mountain road without looking back.

After entering the depths of the mountain, the Taoist looked around and found an open space to sit down.He untied the burden on his shoulders, and said to himself in amazement: "There really was a vision, I'd better walk away as soon as possible..."

At this time, if someone with knowledge is around, they should know that the co-author of the so-called Shenlong was invented by Taoist priests, but it happened by an inexplicable coincidence.

He took a sum of money from Mayor Wang, and felt very guilty, so he naturally wanted to get out early, so that he would not have to settle accounts with him in the future.

"Master."

The Taoist priest just opened the bag and carefully counted his money, when he suddenly heard this sound, his hands trembled in fright, and a pile of bank notes scrambled out of the bag.

He immediately stretched out his hand to gather them, and then looked up vigilantly at the person who came, fearing that it was the suffering master who had been chased from Jianhui Town.

Fortunately not.

The Taoist priest saw that the man was dressed in black, the fabric looked high-quality, and his face was unfamiliar. He was basically sure that he was not here to chase money, so he let go of most of his heart, and showed the air of a Taoist leader again, with an erratic tone Said: "Who are you?"

"At Xiaxuanbo," the man said, "I only once met the Taoist priest once."

The Taoist was surprised when he heard the words, and looked at him for a long time, still wondering: "When did I see you?"

Xuan Po smiled and said, "Before, by the Jianhui River, the Taoist priest had a great kindness to me. This time, I came here to repay the kindness."

Jianhuihe?The Taoist thought about it for a while. At that time, there were many people watching the fun by the river. It was not surprising that some of them were unfamiliar, but——

"Where does this matter of repaying gratitude start?"

Xuanbo said: "The Taoist priest doesn't know something. I was originally a dragon in the deep lake of Nanshui. I came here to practice because of the extraordinary aura of the Jianhui River. A few days ago when I transformed into a dragon, I was at the checkpoint. Fortunately, the Taoist priest spoke to help me. I finally turned into one."

The Taoist listened, stunned for a long time, and then opened his mouth eagerly: "You... Are you afraid that you have lost your mind?"

Xuan Bo was taken aback, and immediately wanted to explain, but the Taoist priest looked at him regretfully: "Seeing that you are born with such a good appearance, you should have a good family background, what a pity."

"No," Xuan Bo couldn't laugh or cry, "I'm really a dragon."

As he said that, he raised his hand and pinched a tactic, and threw it into the sky in a blue and shining manner, saying: "Please look, Taoist priest, there must be heavy rain in the half stick of incense."

The Taoist priest looked up at the blue sky and the snow-white clouds, then retreated into the shade of the trees to avoid the scorching sun, and then looked at Xuan Bo kindly: "Sure enough, it's going to rain, young master, where do you live?" , would you like me to see you off?"

Seeing that he still didn't believe it, Xuan Bo said eagerly, "I'm not crazy, it will definitely rain later!"

"It's raining and it's raining," the Taoist nodded perfunctorily, "I see that it's going to rain heavily. You should go home soon, you'll be drenched soon."

"No," Xuan Bo looked at him seriously, "I am a dragon, and the rain can't touch me."

The Taoist sighed silently in his heart, it's a pity that such a good young master is a fool.He lightly put the packed bag on his shoulders, and said with a smile, "It's fine if it doesn't get wet. Young master, I have something to do, so I'm leaving first, you go home earlier."

Then he came out of the shade.

However, just took the first step, and an accident happened suddenly.

The young Daochang's clothes were flowing, and he was walking leisurely with a small burden on his back - just like that, he was caught upright by the rain pouring down from his pocket.

The scorching sun is scorching between heaven and earth, but this valley is the only one where the torrential rain is pouring like a basin.

It was like hell.

Xuan Bo quickly gave the Taoist a hand.It's strange to say that as soon as Xuan Bo's hand touched his sleeve, the rain escaped by itself, so as not to stain the two of them.

The Taoist wiped his face, turned to look at Xuan Bo, and said expressionlessly, "What did you do?"

Xuan Bo nodded excitedly and proudly: "Are you trustworthy?"

The Taoist slowly took off the burden from his shoulders, held Xuan Po's clothes with one hand, and unfastened the burden clasp with the other hand, then took out the wet bank note from it and patted it on Xuan Bo's chest: "Pay me .”

Xuan Bo reached out to take it in a daze: "What is this?"

"Silver note."

"What's the use?"

"Exchange wine for meat."

Xuan Bo was taken aback: "It's so important?"

The Taoist nodded confidently, and all the rules and regulations of a cultivator were thrown out of the sky: "It's extremely important, Lord Shenlong, please pay me quickly."

Xuan Bo was happy when he heard the Taoist call himself Shenlong, but he was still at a loss when he saw the dripping banknote in his hand. He looked at the Taoist in embarrassment: "I don't know how to pay, how about I owe you another favor?"

The Taoist stared at him for a moment, and asked sincerely, "How much money can you give once you repay your kindness?"

"...I, I don't have money."

The Taoist groaned, then turned to face him aggressively: "Then you earn it back for me!"

Without warning, the rain stopped suddenly.The Taoist priest immediately let go of the hand that was holding Xuan Bo's clothes, squatted on the ground and rummaged through his burden.

Xuan Bo stood at the side, vaguely feeling that he had gotten into trouble, and said dully, "I'll definitely earn it back for you."

The Taoist raised his head and glanced at him: "How do you make money?"

"Ah?" Xuan Bo looked at him helplessly, "I'll just listen to you."

The Taoist put away the burden, stood up and looked at him: "Are you really a dragon?"

"really!"

"Then why did you say that I helped you with my words?"

Xuan Po said: "When I was transforming into a dragon, you once said 'this is a dragon' and helped me cross the barrier. When my elder brother was transforming into a dragon, a woodcutter passed by and said 'Jiao', so he didn't cross the barrier. In the past, it has not yet transformed into a dragon."

"Is there such a thing?" The Taoist clicked his tongue, "Then I have done a great good."

"Yes, if you have any wishes, just tell me, and I will definitely help you."

The Taoist made some calculations in his heart and consciously picked up a big bargain.With such a dragon by his side, it couldn't be easier to create visions to fool people, and money is naturally within reach.

Facing a moving money jar, if you treat it with sneering words, you should scare him away, and that's even less cost-effective.

The Taoist silently suppressed his displeasure at losing the silver ticket, put on a friendly smile and said to Xuan Po: "Then you might as well spend some time with me first, and then I will talk to you when I think about it."

Xuan Bo was flattered by his sudden eagerness, and immediately responded: "Okay."

"My name is Gu Mingchuan," the Taoist priest lowered his head and straightened his drenched robes, and said, "Taoist priests and the like are too ostentatious, you can just call me by my name, it seems that we have friendship."

The two stayed in the mountains for half a day, and when the clothes on Gu Mingchuan were dry, they planned to find a place to go.

"There aren't many towns nearby," Xuan Bo said, "I've seen them all."

Gu Mingchuan thought for a while and said, "After you transformed into a dragon, have you ever been to Jianhui Town?"

"I've been there. I asked them to find you."

"Do you know about the daughter of the Wang family in that town?"

Xuan Bo nodded: "I know, that girl's illness looks mysterious, but it's actually a faux pas."

"Pretending?" Gu Mingchuan was startled.

"When visiting the temple fair during Chinese New Year, she got acquainted with Xiao Xiucai from the town, and the two fell in love with each other. This spring Xiao Xiucai went to Beijing for a scientific examination. She was afraid that her parents would marry her, so she pretended to be sick."

"It turned out to be like this," Gu Mingchuan couldn't help sighing when he learned the truth, "It's a deep love, which is embarrassing."

"Well, Mingchuan, why are you asking this?"

Gu Mingchuan was thoughtful: "I took money from her father, but I didn't treat the girl's illness. Since you are a dragon, I want to ask if you can help her."

Xuan Bo thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Of course, Xiao Xiucai is destined to be a prostitute this year, and will be appointed as an official in the capital. When Wang Qiaozhi's brocade satin is presented to the nobles in the palace, I will show up to show auspiciousness, nobleman Wang Qiaozhi will definitely be summoned to Beijing, and then they will be able to meet again."

The traces of the dragon are enough to crown this woman's life with a reputation of glory and legend.

After such an agreement, the two quietly entered Jianhui Town.

Gu Mingchuan took Xuan Bo to the back door of Wang's house, Xuan Bo made a secret trick, and the two entered Miss Wang's courtyard in an instant.

Under the two people's cloudy analysis of the pros and cons, Wang Qiaozhi went from being shocked when he saw them at the beginning, to weeping in the middle, and finally full of joy and gratitude, the matter went very smoothly.

Of course, this was mainly due to Gu Mingchuan's eloquent tongue, which convinced this ignorant little girl into believing it.

After leaving the gate of Wang's house, Gu Mingchuan and Xuan Bo looked at each other, and then looked at the official road outside the town together.

After this party persuaded, it was time to go to Beijing to find the other half of the mandarin duck.
