80s Taoism

"Chengdao, are you still awake?" The voice of the old Taoist rang in Zhang Jiaohua's ears.

Chengdao? Why is this name so familiar? Zhang Jiaohua was startled. From the first time he dreamed of the old Taoist priest, Zhang Jiaohua had never heard this name called by others. It seems that every time someone calls his name, his head buzzes, but why did he hear such a name again?

"Chengdao, are you awake?" The old Taoist's voice sounded again.

"Old Taoist master..." Zhang Jiaohua wanted to speak casually, but no sound came out of his mouth.

Feeling his body being pushed, he opened his eyes, and the old Taoist priest was standing beside the bed.

"Master, I accidentally fell asleep." The body in the dream couldn't help Zhang Jiaohua crawled up. Sure enough, everything in the dream, Zhang Jiaohua is still just a "spectator".

"Your third senior brother is back. Something happened to Great Furnace Fort. I'm about to go there. If you are too tired, you can stay at home and rest." The old Taoist master said.

"Not tired, not tired." Zhang Jiaohua quickly sat up from the bed, and put on the same blue robe as the old Taoist master. The clothes gave Zhang Jiaohua a strange sense of familiarity. Just like my old friend. If the clothes are in his hands, he can wear them skillfully.

"That's fine, then you can go with Master Wei. Chengdao, this matter is not trivial, you must remember to obey Master's command. You must not make up your own mind. You have to prepare the runes that Master gave you, and take out the runes to save your life in case of danger! Everything is handled by Master. You just need to watch. Don't act rashly." The old Taoist master told him over and over again, which shows that the old Taoist is still very worried about this trip.

"Okay, okay, Master, you have said it many times." When Zhang Jiaohua was a little impatient to hear it, he really heard "myself" say it.

The old Taoist grinned, "Master is old and useless. Old people like to chatter."

"Master, you are not old." For some reason, Zhang Jiaohua felt sore again when he heard the old Taoist say that. The eyes are also hot. I don't know if the tears flowed.

"Hahaha, not old or old. My teacher is not old." The old Taoist master seemed very happy.

The old Taoist priest had already packed everything, and handed one of the packages to Zhang Jiaohua, but Zhang Jiaohua rushed to carry the old Taoist priest's master's package on his back.

The old Taoist master didn't stop him either. He laughed and waved lightly with a whisk, floating like a fairy. The Great Furnace Fort was not close, and the master and the master walked for half a day before reaching the place.

The reason why the Great Furnace Fort is called the Great Furnace Fort is that the most famous thing here is that there is a big iron furnace, and the people in the Great Furnace Fort are all artisans. The scale of the Great Forge Castle is not small, and there is a pile on the outside that looks like a city gate.

Before entering the castle, someone was already waiting at the entrance of Great Forge Castle.

A group of people took their heads and bowed, and one of the leading old men begged: "Tianshi, you old man is here! Something serious happened in the castle! Tianshi, help!"

"Get up. Since I'm here, naturally I won't stand by. Tell me, what's going on?" The old Taoist master's voice is different from usual, and there seems to be a little more majesty in his words.

"It was all forced by that eunuch! The old castle owner had always followed the instructions of the heavenly master to seal the West Hill Head, but the eunuch insisted on forcing the old castle owner to open the Xishantou mine, and the accident happened within a month." The old man wanted to cry but had no tears.

The old Taoist master was shocked, walked forward and grabbed the old man's shoulders, and said angrily: "What? You opened the mine at Xishantou? Since this is the case, why do you come to me? You want to die yourself, why are you dragging me? In order to seal Xishantou, you forgot how many sailors my Meishan sect died? Let's go, let's go!"

The old Taoist master turned around and was about to leave, so how could the people from Great Furnace Fort be willing to do it? A large group of people blocked the old Taoist master's way back, and they didn't dare to pull the old Taoist master, but just knelt in front of the old Taoist priest and kowtowed.

"Heavenly Master, help! Heavenly Master, help! Once you leave, Ironforge will have no way out!"

"Tianshi help!"

"Tianshi have pity on our Great Furnace Fort!"

The old Taoist master was very angry, "I pity you, who is going to pity me? You are going to die! You want me to risk your life. Where in the world did you come up with such a reason? Did I owe you Dalubao in my previous life? I said that the west mountain can't be moved anymore. You clearly know that and you want to die. Why are you looking for me?"

"Go away! Don't block my master's way! If you don't want to die, run for your life. Why bother to pester my master? My master has just recovered from a serious illness. How can I lose my life for you?" Zhang Jiaohua shouted.

"Little Daoist, if we can get out of here, why do we bother the old Taoist? In this life, we will live, live here, die, die here! No matter, no matter. Let's die when we die, so we don't burden the Heavenly Master. Sigh!" The old man seemed to know that everything was impossible. Sadly and disappointedly step aside from the road.

But the people who walked with him refused to give up. "Climbed to the old Taoist master and said: "Heavenly Master, we are all forced! If the old castle owner didn't move the soil on the top of the west mountain that day, the eunuch would stab the young master to death. The old castle owner can't help it either! It's easy to say, but the eunuch refuses to believe it! "

"Go! Don't talk about it! This is the fate of Great Forge Castle! If you die, you will die! Don't hurt others!" The old man roared.

Only then did the group of people in Great Forge reluctantly give way. "Zhang Jiaohua" looked at the misery of the people in Dafubao with some absentmindedness.

"Chengdao, let's go!" The old Taoist master turned his head and looked at the road back. "Zhang Jiaohua" knew that the old Taoist master couldn't bear to watch the living people in Dalubao go back to die.

"Zhang Jiaohua" followed the old Taoist master step by step.

"Don't look, it's all life! Chengdao, remember! Sailors are not omnipotent. You can fill as much rice as you want in a bowl. The people in Dalubao are not willing to save them because they are teachers, or they cannot be saved. Even if they take the lives of our master and apprentice, they will not be able to save them!" the old Taoist master sighed.

"Tianshi!" The old man's loud voice came from behind.

The old Taoist master didn't look back, but stopped in his tracks.

"Do you know why the eunuch insisted on forcing the old castle owner to open the West Hill Head?" the old man asked loudly.

The old Taoist master still didn't look back, and didn't make a sound.

"He's not interested in the ore there, but in the cave! Do you know why we dared to call him a eunuch? Hahaha, he went to that cave! The old castle master went too! They can't come back!" The old man seemed sure to use this information to pull the old Taoist master back.

"Pan Yongxi, don't think that you can make me turn back by moving that thing! No matter how important that thing is, it is not as important as the lives of my master and apprentice. If you want to survive in Dalubao, you should take advantage of the eunuch entering the cave and run for your life. Otherwise, no matter whether the eunuch can come out or not, you will all die!" the old Taoist master turned and said angrily.

Pan Yongxi smiled bitterly and said, "Escape? Although the world is big, how can there be a place for my Great Furnace Fort? There are all roads in the world, no matter which one I take in Great Furnace Fort, it is a dead end! Rather than die outside, it is better to die in this castle. It is just the treasure of your Meishan Sect inheritance, Tianshi, are you really willing? Hahaha..."

The old man actually laughed and left, but the other people in Great Forge couldn't be as free and easy as him, and walked all the way to Great Forge, crying and howling.

"Master, what exactly is that thing that old man in Great Furnace Fort said?" "Zhang Jiaohua" asked.

"Back then, a large tomb was dug up in the Great Furnace Castle, and there were ghosts in it. Our Meishan Sect elites got rid of them, and finally we asked the Meishan Sect's inheritance treasures to suppress the ghosts in the tomb and seal the passage to the tomb. However, the treasures of my Meishan Sect's town religion were also left here. After this battle, most of my Meishan Sect elites were lost, and their vitality was greatly injured. In addition, the inherited treasures were lost and could not be retrieved. Heyday. Alas!" the old Taoist master sighed endlessly.

"Master, since the treasure in my teaching is lost. How can outsiders know about such a confidential matter?"

"At that time, it was not only my Meishan Sect members who entered the tomb to fight against the ghosts, but also the Great Furnace Fort warriors. Presumably the eunuch must have known about this from the people of the Great Furnace Fort. Disciple, you go back quickly. If you fail to come back as a teacher, you go back to your hometown and be an ordinary person. Don't bother with Meishan Sect matters. If the eunuchs get the treasures of my Meishan Sect, they will definitely cut the weeds and eradicate them to prevent future troubles." The old Taoist master grabbed "Zhang Jiaohua" shoulder, commanded solemnly.

"Master, how can I leave alone? Even if I die, I will die with Master!" "Zhang Jiaohua" resolutely refused to leave.

"Chengdao, I know that you are a loyal and filial person. But Master is determined to die. If you can get back the inherited treasure, Master will return safely. If Master can't come back, what's the use of you going, isn't it a waste of life? Come, Master will explain the incense hexagram for you. In the future, you will also practice incense alone and become an ordinary sailor. Don't worry about such dangerous things." The old Taoist master took out his animal horn hexagram.

"No, no. I won't listen. I won't leave!" "Zhang Jiaohua" was very firm. Hurry up to the big furnace castle in front of the old Taoist priest.

"Acceptance! Apology!" The old Taoist shouted anxiously behind him.

"Biaohua, Jiaohua! Wake up!" Zhang Jiaohua opened his eyes, and Zhang Youlian was looking at him anxiously. Seeing Zhang Jiaohua wake up, a simple and honest smile appeared on his face, "Biaohua, the sun is shining on your butt, why are you still not getting up? I see you are sweating profusely. I know you are having a nightmare."

"Uncle, my old Taoist master is going to die." Zhang Jiaohua suddenly felt very sad, tears streaming down his face.

"Don't cry, don't cry, it's all a dream. Silly child. You even took the dream for real." Zhang Youlian said with a wry smile.
