Chapter 52: Memories of Life Experience
Sitting back in the carriage, looking at Huamei, Chen Youniao looked slightly complicated. After thinking for a while, he asked: "Huamei, when you went to play by the water today, did you think of any more memories of your life experience?"
Huamei nodded: "I did remember something. My home is by the water, and my grandpa raised me. But a few years ago... It seemed like three years ago, or five years ago? There was a group of very fierce bad guys looking for me.
He came to the door and fought with my grandfather, destroying the house... My grandfather told me to run away quickly, so I jumped into the water and swam with the current... I have been to many places in the past few years...
Finally I got here and met my brother."
Chen Youniao listened very carefully.
Huamei's statement is not clear, and many places are still vague. It is obvious that her memory has not been completely restored, or as time has passed, part of the memory has been broken and become messy, but the main clues are clear.
It's really hard to imagine how she managed to survive these years of being homeless.
Chen Youniao asked: "Are you very good at water?"
Huamei smiled: "Very good. The bigger the water, the more I like it."
This should be due to talent.
Chen Youniao scratched his head, becoming more and more certain that she had an unusual background, and even suspected that her practice had some secret method related to the nature of water.
So, she is also a monk?
This is very possible. According to the description, Huamei's grandfather is very powerful. He fights fiercely with a group of people. I just don't know the final result, whether he wins or loses. If he loses, his life is probably not saved. If he wins, why not
Looking for Huamei?
But then I thought about it, the sky is huge, the earth is huge, the sea of people is huge, the thrush is lost, drifting without a trace, trying to find it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Chen Youniao asked again: "Huamei, if I send you back to Yunmeng then, will you be able to find where your home is?"
Huamei said: "Sure."
Chen Youniao was slightly relieved, and then asked about other matters. Unfortunately, Huamei's memory was messy and fragmented, and many things could not be explained at all.
By making insinuations, we can be sure that what Huamei said must be true. If she is a monk, I wonder what secrets she practices and what level of practice she has reached?
Chen Youniao couldn't help but feel a little hot-eyed.
However, this is the biggest personal secret in the world of spiritual practice, and outsiders must not pry into it at will. He also cannot take advantage of the girl's memory problems to steal her privacy. In fact, there is no way to steal it, the secrets of the exercises
, requires Taoism, and if it is not taught to the six ears, the text carrier itself has no meaning. This is two different things from studying to test for fame.
As he talked, the carriage entered the city and returned to the house.
Uncle Wang came up to greet him: "Master, we have a visitor at home."
Chen Youniao asked: "What kind of guest?"
Since he became famous and became a Taoist priest, he receives invitations from famous assassins every day, including many from wealthy families.
Regarding these matters, Chen Youniao basically dismissed them all, saying that he should concentrate on studying and prepare for next year's examination, and not go out to socialize before then.
Examination is the best excuse. For scholars, fame is extremely important. It is a sin to disturb people's study.
As a result many visitors are turned away.
But today's visitor seems to have been welcomed into the house.
Uncle Wang replied: "They are two Taoist priests. I dare not neglect them, so I invited them into the house to drink tea."
Ever since Chen Youniao became a Taoist priest and had contact with the Taoist Admiral's Mansion, the first time he came to send someone a status certificate, and the second time he came to explain the affairs. Today, another Taoist priest came, and Uncle Wang naturally regarded him as a distinguished guest.
Chen Youniao asked: "Are you from the Daoting Admiral's Mansion again?"
Uncle Wang was stunned: "This person is not an experienced Taoist, but I didn't ask about his identity."
Chen Youniao shook his head and walked into the house without saying anything.
Uncle Wang observed the words and expressions, and when he saw that the young master seemed unhappy, his heart skipped a beat. He knew that he was on an errand, and he let people into the house without asking for the identity of the visitor.
Arriving at the hall, Chen Youniao looked up and saw two people dressed as Taoist priests sitting there eating tea and enjoying snacks.
They were not old Taoist priests, but middle-aged, fat Taoist priests, and one of them was an acquaintance.
Xinshan Taoist!
The last time I went to the Song family manor to drive away evil spirits, the Xinshan Taoist was invited by Uncle Song Tianfu to perform a ritual. When faced with the evil spirits, he showed a magic weapon mirror, which objectively injured the evil spirits. Chen Youniao will follow.
It's much easier when you start using your hands.
When Xinshan Taoist saw Chen Youniao coming back, he immediately stood up with a smile on his face and said, "Fellow Taoist Chen is back."
He looked completely enthusiastic, as if the previous unhappiness with him at the manor didn't exist at all.
With a quick glance, he saw Huamei following Chen Youniao. He was stunned as if he were seeing a being from heaven.
This woman...is there such a stunning beauty in the world?
Another fat Taoist who was a companion of the Xinshan Taoist saw Huamei, his eyes were dull and he almost drooled.
Huamei frowned and whispered: "Brother, I have entered the room."
Turning around and entering her room, the door closed with a bang.
The Xinshan Taoist priest's heart skipped a beat. He realized that he had lost his composure and quickly lowered his head to cover it up.
Chen Youniao had already looked into his eyes with a cold expression: "Fellow Taoist from Xinshan, why are you here?"
The Taoist from Xinshan coughed dryly and said, "Young Taoist Chen, I just received the news recently that you have successfully become a Taoist priest. Haha, you and I are both members of the Taoist court, and we have worked together to exorcise evil spirits. I will come to congratulate you."
."
Chen Youniao said: "Thank you very much."
"Since you have come to congratulate me, you will have your own congratulatory gifts."
Xinshan Taoist said, picking up a brocade box placed on the table: "It's just a small gift, please don't dislike it, Taoist friends."
Chen Youniao hesitated for a moment, then took it but did not open it: "You're welcome, fellow Taoist."
He knew that the other party could not just come here to congratulate and send gifts. There must be something going on, but he was not in a hurry and just waited for him to speak.
As expected, after introducing his companion "Green Tea Taoist", Taoist Xinshan couldn't help but ask: "Fellow Taoist Chen, now that you have broken through the threshold and become a Taoist priest, what are your plans next?"
Chen Youniao replied: "The Taoist Admiral's Office has arranged a matter for me and is currently working on it."
Taoist Xinshan and Taoist Green Tea looked at each other: "The Admiral's Mansion always gives preferential treatment to newcomers, and will make arrangements when necessary to allow new Taoists to earn talisman money, which is quite good."
Chen Youniao smiled and said, "Well, I think it's good too."
Taoist Xinshan was too lazy to be polite and went straight to the point: "But Brother Chen, the things arranged by the Admiral's Office are just like that. After the first thing is done, it will be difficult to receive the tasks later. You should also know that the yamen has its own procedures.
It’s most about interpersonal relationships.”
Chen Youniao listened and pondered slightly.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, in fact, we are all the same people. If we can become a Taoist priest, our lifetime potential will only end here. Therefore, we are different from those proud men. There are hierarchies in people and affairs in the world. There is a huge gap between classes.
,insurmountable."
A Taoist from Xinshan came and told me.
Chen Youniao listened impatiently: "If you have anything to say, fellow Taoist, just say it directly."
