Although it was night, the east and west rooms weren't far from each other. With the lightning coming one after another, I could clearly see everything that was happening through the window on the opposite side.
From this moment on, I felt that this Taoist temple was a little mysterious.
I think I should have a good talk with this old Daoist. I've already been here for eight or nine days. In these eight or nine days, I've only toured the mountains and rivers. What skills have I not learned?
I'm here to learn, not to travel. If I were traveling, I wouldn't have come to such a deserted place to enjoy the scenery.
When he woke up in the morning, the weather was clear and the wind was gentle. If it weren't for the rainwater on the ground, it would have been impossible to tell that it had been a stormy night.
The weather was clear, but Taoist Hao Tian's face was gloomy.
I was shocked when I saw the old Daoist.
Taoist Haotian's eyes were sunken, his face was pale, and he kept yawning.
All these signs proved that the old Daoist had not slept well last night.
This was not a normal phenomenon. This place was located in the wilderness. There was neither social interaction nor entertainment. It was a typical state where there was nothing to do during the day and nothing to do at night.
Therefore, the old Daoist had developed the habit of going to bed early.
But now, it was obvious that he didn't sleep well last night. Did the old Daoist suffer from insomnia?
It couldn't be that yesterday's thunderstorm was caused by some God who came to kill the evildoers in the world. Taoist Haotian was so scared that he didn't sleep all night. This possibility was zero. He was a Taoist priest, not a demon. There was no need to be afraid of the rolling thunder.
Then there was only one possibility. The old Daoist had jerked off last night! And not just once.
Forgive me for this ridiculous thought. If I don't think about it, I really can't think of any reason why he didn't sleep well.
"Taoist priest, I've been here for seven or eight days. When can you teach me?”I tried my best to be respectful.
It is said that when people don't get enough sleep, their hearts won't be too good. They are easily irritated. I'm not prepared to accept his irritation.
Taoist Haotian's tired face immediately turned solemn. He didn't even glance at me and said lightly with his hands behind his back,""Young people have to be patient. You can't stand the loneliness after just a few days? Back then, when I was learning Dao,"
What the f * ck, can you not bring out the old calendar? What era was it when you learned Taoism? Was the country liberated? Is there an electric light? You're using decades of experience to demand of the people of today. This is a serious lag in the times. If you don't learn your skills, I won't follow you to such a desolate place!
"I think it's not a good idea for me to do nothing all day. If I continue to be so idle, I'll lose my patience.”There was a hint in my words. If you don't teach me, I don't have the patience to waste time with you here. I'm going to say goodbye.
"In two days, it will be the night of the full moon. That day will be an auspicious day.”
The night of the full moon was an auspicious day? Is this old Daoist trying to scare me? Don't think that I haven't watched movies before. I've watched many movies where demons were born on the night of the full moon. In the movies, some of the sealed, destroyed, and imprisoned demons usually chose the night of the full moon to come out again. They were usually unsealed, rescued, or resurrected by their subordinates on this day. They continued to cause trouble in the human world, and then they were sealed, destroyed, and imprisoned again until another full moon night many years later.
From this point of view, the night of the full moon was not an auspicious day.
I chose a full moon as the auspicious day for me to become my disciple. Could it be that I also have the potential to become a demon?
If I became a demon, I would probably be a high-level demon like a devil. Otherwise, why would those demons and ghosts always like to circle around me?
I came down the mountain with these questions.
Red Dust was already by the river and washing clothes. He looked a little distracted.
If she lived in town, I would suspect that she ran a laundry.
"Hong Chen, where did you get so many clothes to wash every day? There don't seem to be many people in your temple.”
Red Dust lowered his head and said nothing.
This wasn't a good habit. How could a young man or youth act like an old man without any vitality?
"If a person doesn't speak for a long time, there's a 90% chance that they will become mute. Red Dust, are you planning to become mute in the future?”
Red Dust turned to look at me. Although he still didn't say anything, his expression seemed to ask me," Really?
"I'm not just spouting nonsense. People can only maintain their ability to speak by listening and speaking more. If you don't speak for a long time, your ability to read and write will decline, and you'll gradually lose your ability to speak. In the end, you won't be able to listen or speak, which means you'll be deaf and mute.”
My words were purely impromptu. There was not much scientific basis at all. Anyway, Red Dust would not understand.
Red Dust seemed to believe her this time. After a long silence, she took the initiative to say her first sentence,"Will I really become mute in the future if I don't speak?”
Everything was difficult at the beginning. As long as Red Dust said the first sentence, the 10,000 sentences were not far away.
"Of course, a person's ability to speak is made up of two parts: listening and speaking. Through listening, one learns to understand the composition and meaning of a language, and then through speaking, it evolves into one's own language.”
I didn't know if Red Dust understood or not. Anyway, I didn't really understand myself. I didn't understand what I said, so I didn't expect Red Dust to understand. However, this wasn't the main problem. As long as it showed that I was unfathomable, it would be fine.
To my surprise, Red Dust actually nodded to show that she understood! This little thing is very cunning!
"Since you understand, let's start from the first question. I'll ask you a question and you'll answer it. Aren't you bored of washing clothes every day?”
Red Dust washed the clothes unhurriedly." Why aren't you washing clothes?”
This was an overlooked problem. Yes, why didn't she do the laundry? Just like how I am now, what else can I do if I don't wander around?
Red Dust's laundry and my strolling around are both ways to get rid of boredom and loneliness.
"Are you in your teens this year?" I changed the topic.
Red Dust seemed to be confused.
Why didn't she know how old she was? Could it be a monster that had lived for thousands of years? He was so old that he didn't even know how old he was?
I carefully looked at Red Dust for a long time and overturned my ridiculous idea. She was at most no older than eighteen years old, far from the old monster's age.
"I don't know how old I am this year. I grew up in this temple and Master never told me about this.”
Fortunately, she grew up in a temple. If your master had placed her in a cave to grow up, she would be a cave dweller now.
My interaction with Red Dust began just like that.
Red Dust had grown up in this temple since she was young. As for where she was brought here by her master, she could not say any useful information.
She had never left the mountain and didn't know anything about the outside world. She was curious about everything I said.
"You should go outside the mountain to see the outside world.”
"Master said that the hearts of the people in the outside world are sinister and that there is no good person. He won't let me out."
I'm a little confused.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:021420196:28PM
