Xuan Jiucao said embarrassedly: "I made you laugh. I have some stone red here. I will burn a little now. The mosquito repellent effect is very good. Hehe, don't look at the simplicity here, but the house is still very dry."

As Xuan Jiucao said, the red white smoke instantly drove away the densely packed mosquitoes around. An oil lamp was lit in the room, and the withered fire illuminated every corner. In the middle hall facing him, two magical scrolls were hung. I frowned and saw that there was only an incense burner on the table.

I could recognize both of those two paintings, one is a portrait of Emperor Huangdi, and the other is a portrait of Laozi (Taishang Laojun), the ancestor of Taoism. After thinking about it carefully, I suddenly realized that Xuanjiucao respected the original Taoist Huang Lao.

Although the ancestors of all Taoist sects were Lao Tzu, Taoism and Taoism are different. The so-called Huang-Lao Taoism actually refers to the Taoist school of thought of the emperor and Lao Tzu. Taking the emperor and Lao Tzu as the founder, it is also the earliest title of Taoism today. Huang-Lao Taoism began in the Warring States Period and flourished in the Western Han Dynasty. It was based on the thoughts of Huang-Lao and Lao Tzu. It was actually a combination of Taoism and Legalism, and it also used the views of Yin-Yang, Confucian, Mohism and other schools.

The difference between Taoism and Taoism, Taoism originally refers to Huang Lao Taoism, and the concept of Taoism originally refers to Confucianism or Confucianism. In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, people used Taoism to refer to what we are talking about today, and at the same time, they still used Taoism to refer to what we are talking about Confucianism or Confucianism. Since the end of the Han Dynasty, people used Huang Lao Taoism to refer to what we are talking about today. Today's Taoism does not use the Five Confucian classics as their teachings, but the Taoism of Lao Tzu as their teachings. The concept of Taoism refers to a religion with the purpose of immortality. At the same time, Taoism still uses Taoism, Huang Lao's name,

"Book of Wei·Shi Lao Zhi" records: The source of Taoism comes from Lao Tzu, and his own words are born in heaven and earth, and to attract all kinds of things. At the top of the jade capital, it is the sect of the god king; at the bottom of Ziwei, it is the lord of Feixian...

Huangdi asked about Taoism, cast a cauldron and refining elixirs, spread it under Laozi's pillar, and passed it on to Hangu, so Huangdi is used as the era, and has a history of more than 4,700 years. Taoism takes "Tao" as its highest belief, uses alchemy and magic as its way of cultivation, and becomes an immortal as its ultimate goal. Nowadays, Taoism tributaries are spread all over the world, and all sects have also formed a unique system. However, the purest Huang Lao Taoism has been passed down to this day, and Xuan Jiucao is one of the inheritors.

Light the fragrance of three pillars, then perform a great ceremony, worship "Huang Lao", Xuan Jiucao also packed everything,

"There are only simple meals to entertain among the mountains and fields. Please use it for fellow Taoists in the seventh day of the lunar month, haha."

Xuan Jiucao smiled and prepared the bowls and chopsticks, saying that they were bowls and chopsticks, but the chopsticks were bamboo chopsticks. As for the bowl... To be precise, it should be two bamboo tubes, with an oblique mouth on it, which was filled with bamboo tubes of tea. On the table were fragments of two broken porcelain jars, which seemed to be polished into "trays" by Xuan Jiucao, one was fried wild vegetables, the other was cold bamboo slices, and the other was a few black buns.

Although it is a simple rice, it tastes unique.

After eating, Xuan Jiucao seemed to have started practicing. On the side of the incense burner, I sat cross-legged and meditated. I had nothing to do and also meditated cross-legged on the bed in the inner room. But as soon as I sat down, I suddenly felt a lot of discomfort in my body. First, I was panic-slow, then I was irritated, and finally I put my handprints helplessly. I stared at the dark night outside the window and muttered to myself: "What's wrong with me? Why can't I even calm down the most basic meditation?"

"Mei'er, do you feel any discomfort?"

After thinking about it, I had to turn to Meier.

But soon, Mei'er's answer made me even more confused... "Master, although Mei'er has been practicing for nearly a thousand years, she has always been a spiritual body. Moreover, the overlapping aura here is extremely powerful. My sensing ability is greatly limited, even three meters away from the master's body, so I can't sense anything..."

"Well……"

After a desperate attempt, I had no choice but to give up my plan to practice. I looked up suddenly, but I saw Xuan Jiucao appear in front of me at some point. Seeing me looking at him, Xuan Jiucao said lightly: "You go to bed early, I will develop herbs..."

After saying that, before I could reply, Xuan Jiucao turned around and walked out. I looked back in a daze, tilted my head and thought about it, and lying on the bed to sleep. This Xuan Jiucao seemed to have a story that I didn't want me to know, and it was inevitable that he inherited his ancestral property alone. It was normal for a story to be a little bit empty, but I still felt a little empty in my heart. In short, my heart that was just about to be at ease started to float again.

Xuanjiucao went to the mountains during the day, and was picking herbs. After meditating at night, he started fiddling in the outer room, perhaps selling the developed herbs to the village in front to make a living, or perhaps keeping them for their own use. In short, who knows,

After calming down, I thought about it carefully. Sometimes I feel that this place is really strange. Sometimes I feel that it is unreal when I see the beautiful scenery. Sometimes, the Xuanjiucao, which looks cheerful and easy-going, seems to hide the other side. This so-called "dry rice bowl" can only be described in one word from the inside out, that is "strange."

I was in a daze, not knowing whether to fall asleep or wake up. When I heard the sound of chopping wood outside, I subconsciously opened my eyes, but I quickly fell asleep again, until a scent of medicine came. Not long after, I fell asleep again in a daze...

"Wake up, wake up."

In a daze, I was pushed by something and suddenly woke up. However, I saw Xuan Jiucao standing in front of the bed with an axe in one hand, looking at me with an expressionless face. I was immediately scared and asked in surprise: "Xuan... Fellow Daoist Xuan, you, you, you are..."

The first reaction in my mind was that I could have encountered a psychopath in the mountains,

But his mind turned sharply, as if he had started to meet Xuan Jiucao, he didn't notice any abnormal behavior, but he was holding an axe...

Unexpectedly, Xuan Jiucao looked down at the axe in his hand, quickly put it down, frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist Junqi, I can no longer live here, we must leave here immediately."

"For, why,."

I stood up and reached out to take out the Jiangxie Sword. As soon as the sword came out, Xuan Jiucao, who was standing beside him, opened his eyes wide, stared at the Jiangxie Sword in my hand and glanced at it, and then said anxiously: "A group of intruders will come here soon. In order to avoid conflict, we must go into the mountain to hide."

"Intruders, conflict, this is...what is this."

I carried the magic bag and carried the Gengzi sword on my body, asking in confusion.

Xuan Jiucao said anxiously: "Now there is no time to explain, let's talk while walking, go quickly."

"Yeah." I stopped hesitating and immediately followed Xuan Jiucao out of the room. But just as I was approaching the door, I suddenly turned my head and looked at the portrait of "Old Huang" in the middle hall and the incense burner on the table. After a brief pause, I turned around and followed quickly,

The mountain road at night is even more difficult to walk, but Xuan Jiucao is walking as fast as a flat ground. Even if I follow Qingfeng, I can't catch up with his rhythm. Fortunately, we quickly hid in the hidden place on the hillside. I suggested looking back. Xuan Jiucao hesitated for a moment, and then lay on the edge of the stone with me and looked at the small house below.
