His father was basically a deputy cadre in the family. He did not have the courage to make a decision. To put it bluntly, he did not have the final say. Everything had to be done according to his mother's expression.
But at this moment, her mother was looking at her father's expression. This proved that she was very hesitant and conflicted.
Giving up on studies was not a small matter. It would affect his future. However, if I didn't give up my studies, I wouldn't be able to learn Dao. If I didn't learn Dao, those messy things would always pester me, and I might lose my life. This was not a small matter.
I reckon my mother's heart must be swaying like a pendulum, unable to stop for a while.
"I agree!" There was no need for Mother to be conflicted. I made the decision for her.
Daoist Priest Hao Tian immediately beamed with joy, and a smug look flashed across his eyes.
"But, Taoist priest, before I call you master, I want to know what you can teach me.”I have to be clear about this. I learned to subdue demons from him. If he can't teach me such content, then I might as well stay at home.
"What do you want to learn? Dispelling evil spirits, divination, making pills, reading faces, drawing talismans, exorcising ghosts and demons, Feng Shui, Feng Shui, I know all of them. If I say I'm second, no one in the country will dare to claim to be first!”
This was a little too much of a boast. Even the gods might not dare to boast like this.
Although I have never been a Taoist priest, I know that there are specializations in academia. If I can master everything, I'm destined to be weak in everything.
"I only want to learn how to exorcise ghosts and subdue demons.”
"No problem!" Taoist Master Hao Tian patted his chest loudly.
"Also, I don't have to pay tuition fees, and you have to take care of my meals.”This condition is a bit unreasonable. I was very worried that the old Daoist would refuse, but who knew that he would agree immediately.
I immediately regretted it when he agreed. I knew that he was so straightforward and added another condition that he would give me 100 yuan as pocket money every month.
There was no need to go through any formalities to learn from a master. The Taoist priest said that the ceremony could wait until they reached the mountain.
Thus, under my parents 'reluctant gazes, I followed the old Daoist out of the house empty-handed.
In my pocket was the 200 yuan my mother gave me.
When I looked back, I saw my parents supporting each other at the door of my house, as if they had suddenly aged a lot. My heart ached.
"You can go back. I'll let your son come back to see you often.”After Old Taoist Haotian comforted my parents, he led me out of the village.
I silently followed behind the old Daoist. I didn't know if my decision was right or wrong, nor did I know where my future lay.
However, there was a sense of regret in his heart.
The source of this regret was Meng Jiao. It seemed that some things had just begun and had become blurry again.
I didn't know where Haotian Taoist's mountain was because I didn't ask. If he took me to Mao Mountain and Longhu Mountain, I probably wouldn't be able to come back many times in my life.
There was a faint pain in my heart. I left, and I couldn't even say goodbye to Meng Jiao.
The old Taoist priest took out his phone and made a call. Ten minutes later, a taxi appeared in the square at the entrance of the village.
The old Daoist sat in the carriage and closed his eyes to rest without saying a word.
The taxi driver drove away without asking.
I wanted to ask where we were going, but I swallowed my words when I saw Taoist Haotian closing his eyes like an expert.
When the car reached Qinglin Town, it turned west and passed by the Emperor Hotel. I called for the car to stop.
"Taoist priest, I'm going to say goodbye to a classmate.”
Haotian Taoist didn't object, but nodded slightly.
No matter what, I have to say goodbye to Meng Jiao. I can't leave with regrets. I might be gone for eight to ten years, and I might never see her again in this life.
When I arrived at Meng Jiao's house, I rang the doorbell and a servant came out to open the door for me.
The servant obviously knew me and smiled as she let me in.
"Auntie, is Meng Jiao feeling better? Our form teacher asked me to come and take a look." This sentence was a lie. The main reason was that she did not want her family to think otherwise.
"I'm much better. I even drank some water at noon.”
Drinking water proved that she was better? Isn't this ridiculous?
I went up to the third floor and knocked on Meng Jiao's room.
Meng Jiao was still lying on the bed, but her expression was much more normal. Her eyes were wide open as if she was thinking about something.
Meng Jiao was pleasantly surprised when she saw me.""You're here."
I came to the bedside and looked at Meng Jiao.
"Meng Jiao, I don't have time to talk nonsense. I'm here to say goodbye to you.”
Meng Jiao's face was full of surprise, and then it turned pale.
"Leave? Where are you going?"
"I can't explain it clearly in one sentence. Recently, many strange things have happened to me that can't be explained by science. An old priest wants to take me as a disciple. Only then will my life be safe in the future.”
"Become a Daoist priest!" Meng Jiao raised her voice in surprise.
I nodded.
"Alright, I'm leaving." I can't let the old Daoist wait outside for too long.
I turned around and was about to leave when Meng Jiao's voice came from behind me."Don't go yet."
I turned around and looked at her in confusion.
"Come here." Meng Jiao's voice was as gentle as water.
I went to her bedside.
"Close your eyes."
I closed my eyes and my heart began to beat wildly.
A warm thing stuck to my lips. At first, it seemed a little hesitant, but then it stuck to my lips.
My mind went blank, as if my soul was flying in the sky.
I lost my first kiss in a daze.
"Why didn't you say hello? I wasn't mentally prepared at all.”I grumbled.
Meng Jiao chuckled." Study hard. I'll wait for you to come back!" You'll have a chance to feel it in the future."
I walked out like a cloud, and even when I got into the taxi, I still felt unreal.
Meng Jiao kissed me! Unfortunately, I didn't kiss him.
Why didn't you kiss her? I despised myself in my heart.
I stole a glance at the old Taoist priest. His eyes were still closed, and I didn't know where his soul had gone.
The car left Greenwood Town and headed west.
West Mountain is 30 miles to the west of Qinglin Town. I don't know how big West Mountain is, but it spans two cities.
A few dozen miles after entering the West Mountain is the famous Immortal Mountain in our area. There is an Immortal Cave on the Immortal Mountain. It is said that in ancient times, someone once ascended to the heavens in this cave.
The Immortal Mountain was dotted with Taoist temples. It was said that there were many cultivators. Could it be that this old Daoist was also cultivating on the Immortal Mountain?
There's an ice valley ditch near the Immortal Cave. It's a famous scenic spot, but the entrance to the scenic spot is on the other side of the mountain. It has nothing to do with us. From here, there are only barren mountains.
The government also wanted to turn this barren mountain into a valuable scenic spot. They had also built a road leading to the mountains. However, they had only started construction in the past two years. Other than this road, the rest of the eight characters were still missing.
When the car was about to enter the mountain, I suddenly remembered that the young man who could turn into a face wanted to take me to the West Mountain to find his master. Could it be related to Taoist Haotian?#
