Chapter 24 Paper-cutting for horses, clear and quiet well courtyards

The morning light is soft, bright and not dazzling.

On the edge of the stream outside the Taoist temple, there is a huge stone, which is square and round.

There was a man on the stone, dressed in pale clothes, with a calm expression, black hair like ink, like a clear stream.

Xiao Yu glanced at it, only to feel that he was in the sun, so gentle and gentle.

Qingyuan is lowering his head, a piece of wood in his left hand, a knife in his right hand, carefully depicted, not fast nor slow, light and leisurely, after a long time, I saw the outline.

That's a dog?

But its minions are sharper.

Is it a wolf?

But it also has a king-shaped markings on the top of its head.

"Sir......" After Qingyuan finished portraying, Xiao Yu asked curiously, "What is that?"

"This ......" Qingyuan threw it away and said with a smile: "It was originally a wolf, but I added a snake to it, and added some tiger ferocity to it, but it is a little different." ”

Xiao Yu thought for a while and said, "But it's beautiful." ”

"Good-looking?"

Qingyuan was stunned, looking at the thing in his hand, it was also more hideous and vicious left and right, and he really couldn't see anything to do with the word good-looking.

Xiao Yu covered her mouth, squinted her eyes and smiled, and then asked, "What is Mr. portraying this tiger wolf?"

She knows that her husband likes to read, watch the scenery, and pay attention to self-cultivation, but he will not have any unreasoned and useless actions.

"Tiger Wolf...... That's a pretty good name. ”

Qing Yuan smiled, and then said, "Xiao Yu can listen to the Taoist technique?"

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "I've heard it, Mr. said, in a while, you can also perform Dao techniques." ”

"It's too early for me to do anything. Qing Yuan threw away the tiger and wolf wood carving in his hand and said: "There are all kinds of mysterious spells in the Taoist book, one of which is the saying that there is paper-cutting for horses and sprinkling beans into soldiers. I don't know how to sprinkle beans into soldiers, but paper-cutting for horses, there have been exercises, but to really cut paper-cutting for horses, the Tao can't be low......"

"Even if I have a breakthrough and achieve the Dual Heavens, the True Qi Condensation, and the ability to use it out of my body, it is difficult to use it. Even if it can be used, it is weak, it can only be scary, if you really want to see blood, you may be kicked by a person who practices martial arts. ”

In this case, it is necessary to resort to external objects. ”

Qingyuan smiled: "The tiger wolf in my hand is a foreign object. ”

Xiao Yu opened her mouth, full of astonishment and curiosity.

"For the time being, it has not been carved, even if it is finished, it is still necessary to use cinnabar, and then go through fire and water refining and so on. ”

Qing Yuan smiled: "This is a matter for the future, now it's just to make some preparations in advance for the future to perform this Dao technique." ”

Xiao Yu nodded, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen a spell yet." ”

Kiyohara nodded and smiled, "I'll see." ”

He glanced down at the wood carving in his hand.

There were some things he didn't say.

This wood carving is made of locust wood.

Acacia wood, also known as ghost wood, is very easy to provoke evil spirits.

But for him, he can increase the ferocity of the tiger and wolf, and besides, he is not afraid of those so-called evil spirits.

It's just that in this way, this orthodox Taoist technique inevitably has a strange and fierce meaning.

In this regard, Qingyuan consciously did not use the evil method, and had a clear conscience, and he was not afraid of the evil of this locust wood, but he was also calm in his heart.

......

Qingyuan received the wood carving and returned to the Mingyuan Taoist Temple with Ge Yuer.

There was also a small door behind the Taoist temple, and the two of them entered the Taoist temple along the small door.

The hallway was silent.

It's just that Qingyuan and Xiaoyu said a word, and they said it quite interestingly, but they didn't know how.

Turn through a small door.

Kiyohara suddenly stopped.

He tilted his head to look.

Inside the small gate is a small courtyard.

The small courtyard is empty, paved with stone bricks, there is a corridor on one side, and at the end is another courtyard, not far from the front yard.

There is a well in the middle of the courtyard, and the well is covered with an iron net.

Ge Yu'er glanced at her husband and asked, "What's wrong?"

Kiyohara frowned slightly and didn't reply.

In this small courtyard, it is cold and lonely, and there is a sense of sadness and coldness.

Silent and unpopular.

Ge Yu'er was a little cold, but seeing that Mr. was here, she felt a lot more settled. When she saw the well in the courtyard, she couldn't help but be surprised: "There is a well here, and it is close to the front yard, why do these Taoist priests always go out from the front and go to the stream to draw water?"

Hearing this, he reminded Qingyuan, he frowned slightly, and said in his heart: "There is a well but you don't need it?"

Thinking like this, he patted the top of Ge Yu'er's head and said, "You stand here." ”

Xiao Yu nodded.

Kiyohara held the iron rod in his hand and walked towards the well.

"Mr. Kiyohara......"

At this moment, a voice came from ahead.

At the other exit of the corridor, there was a person standing, who was Qiyuan, Zhang Qiming's senior brother, who had solved Qingyuan's puzzles two days ago.

With a slight smile, he said, "Is the gentleman on the wrong path?"

Qingyuan took the iron rod and said with a smile: "I used to play along the front door, but I just returned from the back door, and I couldn't find my way for a while. ”

Qiyuan bowed slightly and said, "It's because I'm not thinking about it, so I ask Mr. to come with me." ”

Qingyuan nodded and beckoned to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu trotted over and stood next to him.

Qingyuan left with him, and asked unintentionally, "Since your family has dug a well, why do you still need to go to the stream to fetch water?"

After that, Qingyuan carefully looked at the reaction of the Taoist priest of Qiyuan, because Qingyuan's figure was slightly backward, he did not see the expression of this Taoist priest, but he found that his feet were stunned, and then he quickly recovered.

Qi Yuan smiled slightly and said, "This water has dried up in the early years. ”

Qingyuan said calmly: "But I saw that in that courtyard, there was some moisture. ”

Qiyuan's eyes flashed with a different color, and then he said: "The water from the dry well only rose back a few years ago, but unfortunately it was dirty, so it was discarded." ”

Qingyuan nodded, showing a sudden look, and said: "This courtyard is quiet and quiet, and it is really good to study here on weekdays." ”

Qi Yuan smiled reluctantly and said: "There are few people walking in this courtyard, so it is less popular, according to our Daomen, this kind of place has a heavy yin qi, and it is not good to stay for a long time." ”

Qingyuan said with a smile: "Within the Taoist Temple, there is the support of the Dao Ancestor, how can there be any place that is not good for staying for a long time?"

Qiyuan coughed twice and said, "The well courtyard has been abandoned, and the Guan Master thinks it's not good, and it's about to be repaired, so I can't go for the time being." ”

Kiyohara already knew that there must be something wrong in the courtyard, but he wasn't too curious, so he didn't try it anymore.

Every place has secrets, and it's hard to find them all.

So he followed Qiyuan's words and asked, "It seems that it is rare for your master to be seen?"

Qiyuan said in a low voice: "The viewer likes to travel, often plays in the world, or treks through mountains and rivers, collects medicine and practices qi, and seeks immortals to visit the Tao, so he rarely returns." ”

"It's a man of idle clouds and wild cranes. Qingyuan smiled: "I don't know what the name of the viewer is?"

Qiyuan replied: "The main road number of this gate is the word water source, and people are called the chief of the water source. ”
