Chapter 774 Especially a man as manly as you!
The old Taoist priest looked at the current number one colored armor in front of him, smiled gently, and did not give an answer. He just picked up the ancient teacup with partridge spots and looked at the reflection in the tea: "Look at yourself in the tea."
The tea was sent from Chenzhou. The tea was not clear, but when Su Changan looked at the tea, he could barely see his own reflection.
How to say it.
Although it was blurry, one could tell at a glance that she was a beauty.
The old Taoist priest asked: "How?"
Su Changan was about to answer, but he suddenly understood what the old Taoist meant. What he meant was, look at yourself and tell me whether you look like a man.
Su Changan looked at the old Taoist priest and wanted to say something, but considering his status and seniority, he gave up.
But he still said: "A good-looking man is still a man."
Just very stubborn!
Seeing the expression of the empress, the old Taoist priest laughed. When drinking with a close friend, a thousand cups are not enough; when there is no one to talk to, even a single word is enough. The old Taoist priest has many close friends in his life, but there are only two people with whom he can really talk about anything.
It’s not that I say anything bad about the old Taoist priest, it’s just that sometimes, I feel like I have nothing to say when I can’t find anything to talk about. Even though I have a lot to say, I’m just too lazy to say more.
All the way north from Longhu Mountain to here, the old Taoist priest heard how good the Empress was, but he turned a deaf ear to it. After all, one has to see the person in person to appreciate her.
It was good to meet for the first time today. When two people fought, they didn't think about how to break up each other's moves, but how to make all the moves leak out to themselves. It's not difficult to do, but it's very difficult to block all those intentions and prevent them from hurting the surroundings.
But this queen took it all on her own.
After the fight, many people came to pay homage. Although there were many people paying homage, the old Taoist priest saw the mother and son murmuring for the gods’ blessings. The queen took a step back to avoid them, which made the old Taoist priest appreciate her even more.
When he was young, the old Taoist priest was in the main hall of Longhu Mountain, Sanqing Hall, looking at the statues of Yuqing, Shangqing and Taiqing as well as those around them.
At that time, the rebellion of Emperor Zhengxuan had just ended, but the world was in chaos. The old Taoist priest, who was called Danxian at that time, was only in his teens and had seen the chaos with his own eyes, so he looked at the statues and asked, "What on earth are you?"
This was extremely treasonous, so the old Taoist was punished to chop wood, boil water and clean the Sanqing Temple for a year.
Later, during the ceremony of coming of age, the old Taoist priest was given the surname Zhang and renamed Zhang Xianzhi. He was invincible among his peers in Longhu Mountain. When he looked at the statue, he asked again, "What am I?"
Later, the old Taoist priest led Niu down the mountain, did what he was supposed to do, and observed all kinds of living beings.
When he got older, he looked at the statues of the Three Pure Ones again and smiled, saying, "We are not worthy of them."
Out of despair, people imagine gods and ask for their salvation and protection. But where are the gods and immortals in this world? Where do gods come from?
It is natural for others to call upon God, kneel down and pray for blessings, and offer help, but they should not be worshipped.
Either a fairy or an ordinary person.
At that moment, seeing that Su Changan was talking about this topic with me when we first met and was treating me with sincerity, it was impossible not to have a good impression of him.
The old Taoist priest took a sip of tea and looked at Su Changan and said jokingly, "Your Majesty is of high status, so whatever she says is what counts."
Su Changan looked at the old Taoist priest. Shouldn't this old man bring out a bunch of Taoist principles to persuade him at this time?
The old Taoist priest seemed to see through Su Changan and said with a smile: "When I first met Brother Su, he was bathing in the river. I saw his back and thought he was a woman, so I wanted to take a closer look. But when I turned around, it turned out to be a man! I was so angry that I wanted to fight him, but I didn't expect Brother Su to be quite strong. Although he is a little weaker than me, we can't get to know each other without fighting."
Su Changan was stunned.
The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "It was just seeing the Empress like this that reminded me of some interesting things that happened with Brother Su. At that time, he was often mistaken for a woman. Even when I was traveling with him, he was harassed by a scoundrel after he dressed up as a woman. And when he was found out to be a man, the scoundrel wanted Brother Su."
The old Taoist priest smiled helplessly, his words filled with memories.
Su Changan didn't interrupt, just laughed along with the old Taoist priest.
After saying these two things, the old Taoist priest looked at Su Changan and said, "You and Brother Su are very similar in appearance and in your work style."
Su Changan heard this, thought for a moment and said, "Old Heavenly Master, I actually want to know whether I have any relationship with Senior Su."
The old Taoist priest looked at Su Changan, but did not ask how to verify it. Instead, he said, "Several decades ago, Su Qichi suddenly came to Mount Longhu. He was a little embarrassed at the time. He looked at me in the rain and asked me if I wanted to drink. Then he told me that he had found Li Yunxian and was defeated miserably. He was defeated miserably by the Nine Swords. He also told me that he had a drink with Li Yunxian and admired Li Yunxian very much. Finally, he said that his path was blocked and a dead end. When he woke up the next day, he left a letter for me, saying that he came to say goodbye to me. If we meet again in the future, just laugh it off."
Su Changan couldn't help but said, "I asked Grandma, and she said she didn't know where Su Qichi went, but Su Qichi also told her that he died on the way he walked. And Senior Liu and Senior Gongsun and I also asked, but they both said they didn't know."
The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "Although I am only guessing, he should want to follow the path of ruthlessness."
The old Taoist sneered, "It's ridiculous that the most affectionate person in the world wants to be ruthless. After he disappeared from the martial arts world, I went down the mountain to look for him, but there was no news. Even the girl he took me to was gone. I thought that he must have gone into seclusion with the girl. It's possible that he couldn't follow the ruthless path and wasted his skills and went into seclusion."
At this point, the old Taoist priest looked out the window and said, "There will never be another Su Qichi in the world. Just like Li Yunxian, no matter how good a person is, he can't be like them. In the Jianghu at that time, if Su Qichi said you are guilty, everyone would believe it. Even if the old devil in the world met Brother Su and wanted to attack him, Brother Su said I have to go to work, wait for me to come back, the old devil would never say anything. He didn't have enough money at that time, but he felt sorry for the people and bought food for them. After that, he took them to perform on the streets and taught them skills. Then he quietly left and watched them perform to make money in the dark. As a result, he, the head of such a big sect, went hunting, catching fish and picking wild fruits to return to the sect. You say that his calligraphy, painting and piano music can make him money."
"But he told me that he could survive without these things, but if he did these things, he would definitely squeeze out other people who make a living from this. Maybe that person is just waiting for this money to buy some buns to take home for his children."
At this point, the old Taoist priest was silent for a moment, and then continued, "I am just guessing about Wuqing Dao. He never told me, so I can't tell you in detail about many things. But if you find out something, and he is dead or alive, please curse him for me, "Go to hell with Dao."
Su Changan was originally a little surprised that the character and thoughts of Senior Su Qichi were so beyond the ordinary people's cognition.
But when he heard the old Taoist's next words, he couldn't help but curl his lips.
The old Heavenly Master was a little angry: "It's irresponsible to leave us old friends behind and disappear! Moreover, Liu Xuer dug his eyes out for her, and he disappeared without a trace. The huge Miaoyin Palace has been divided into two families. How many disciples of the Miaoyin Palace have spent their entire lives looking for him. It's so irresponsible that scolding him is the least of it!"
Su Changan was embarrassed, but looked at the old Taoist priest: "Old Taoist priest, why don't you ask me how to verify it, or why I want to verify my relationship with Senior Su?"
The old Taoist priest smiled and looked at Su Changan: "Is it necessary?"
Su Changan was stunned for a moment, then bowed to the old Taoist priest.
The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "I can't bear it."
But after saying this, the old Taoist priest jokingly said, "Why don't you ask why I am here?"
Su Changan said: "You will definitely say it yourself."
The old Taoist priest laughed and said, "I know a little bit about fortune-telling. A year ago, something strange happened to the Great Xia national fortune. Later, I learned that it was because of the Empress. I took a look and found it strange. In addition, I was curious about what I just told you about your Majesty's fortune, so I came to take a look. I also came because I knew that you were Li Yunxian's disciple."
The reason is extremely simple, and there is no need to be mysterious and say it's something great. The old Taoist priest is not that kind of person, and he looks down on people who do that.
After saying this, the old Taoist priest fumbled in his arms for a moment, then took out a book, put it on the table and pushed it to Su Changan.
Su Changan looked down and saw the words "The highest good is like water" written on the book.
Su Changan was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look at the old Taoist priest.
The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "I was originally going to give it to that brat Zhici, but if he wants to go that route, he can't learn this. This isn't a technique from Mount Longhu, it's something I created myself, Madam, you can try to learn it, although it's not as good as your Yiweiting, but I think it complements your Yiweiting, so take it."
Su Changan was about to say a few words.
The old Taoist priest immediately said, "Don't think about the thunder method. The thunder method is not to be passed on to others. It must not be passed on to others."
Su Changan was puzzled for a moment. This sounded a bit strange.
The old Taoist priest looked at Su Changan and said, "Besides, my eldest disciple is better at using thunder magic than me. If you want to learn it, go find him. Remember to ask His Majesty to ask for it, otherwise that kid is stubborn."
Su Changan suddenly realized, but the old Taoist priest was drinking tea as if he had said nothing.
But after taking a sip, the old Taoist priest looked at Su Changan and said, "There is one more thing."
Su Changan immediately put down the "Shangshan Ruoshui" secret book and looked at the old Taoist priest: "Old Taoist priest, please speak."
The old Taoist priest said, "You won't abandon an old Taoist like me, will you?"
Su Changan looked at the old Taoist priest in confusion, not knowing what he was talking about.
The old Taoist sighed: "Think about it, my lady, you are not such a person. After all, you are so kind-hearted that you will definitely not leave me, a penniless and ragged old Taoist, alone to eat and drink well."
These words sound like he is talking to himself.
But Su Changan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What kind of old Taoist priest is this?
But then, the old Taoist priest looked at Su Changan and said, "Especially someone as manly as you, Madam."
Hearing this, Su Changan blinked: "What do you want to eat, or should I make it for you myself?"
The old Taoist priest laughed. He was as easy to coax as Su Qichi! These two must be related!

Ps: I got up this morning and went out to do some stuff, and came back in the afternoon, so the first update is a little late.
