Chapter 500

The old Taoist pushed the smelly beggar away, turned his head and asked me with a smile: "Ye Wawa, would you like to have a drink, too? I'm a good wild macaque wine. I can't buy it in the market."

The wine in the gourd is really fragrant. When the old Taoist opened the gourd plug, the fragrance overflowed, and the fragrance of the wine diffused in the air for a long time.

But when I saw the old gourd and the smelly old beggar beside me, I didn't have any appetite to drink. Drinking is the atmosphere. The old beggar completely destroys the atmosphere and makes people lose their appetite.

"Thank you. I don't have to. "

When the old beggar saw that I refused the old Taoist's wine, he suddenly felt a trace of regret on his face. He shook his head and said:

"the baby really doesn't know the goods. The smelly Taoist's wine is not ordinary wine. It's good for your health to drink it. The old Taoist's stingy guy is willing to give it to you, and you don't know how to cherish it. It's a pity, it's a pity."

The big monk looked greedily at the wine in the gourd of the old Taoist priest, and said with a flattering face, "if you don't drink it for me, my big monk will be greedy."

"Roll, roll as far as you can." The old Taoist immediately put away the gourd and drove the monk away.

"Smelly Taoist, you can't be like this. Why don't you give it to the big monk and give it to the little doll?"

The old Taoist said with disdain, "it's natural for people to cry for food with flowers. Other people's dolls are guests. What's your mother's reason to drink the old Taoist's wine?"

The old Taoist ignored the great monk, and then went on with the previous topic:

"however, although these prescriptions in Dr. Ye's hand are magical, many of them are difficult to find, and many of them are extinct. That's why we went to Longdao to find herbs."

"How do you know about Longdao?"

The great monk didn't get the wine and came back resentfully. He didn't give the Taoist a chance to tell a story alone. He put it in and said, "it's from Banxian."

"Banxian?"

"Yes. Before our village, there was a Banxian who lived in a broken temple at the head of the village. He was very mysterious and knew everything. He told us that our three brothers went to beg him. "

"How old was the Banxian then?"

"It was seventy by then."

More than 40 years ago, I was 70 years old. If I had lived to this day, I would have been more than 110 years old.

"How do you know my grandfather?"

The old Taoist recalled: "when your grandfather was young, he took your grandfather to collect medicine everywhere. Once he passed by our village and had a rest in our village. That's how he got to know each other."

"My grandfather?"

"Well."

Our Ye family has been practicing martial arts and medical farming for generations, but my father didn't have this talent. Later, he abandoned medicine and became a high school teacher in Zhejiang University.

The Taoist priest continued: "your grandfather thanks us for our hospitality. Let's go to Mingyang citrus village when we have time. If there are any serious diseases, we can go to them. A few years later, Lao Jiaohua is blind, and the great monk also has a strange disease. I also have some hidden diseases. So we went to Mingyang to find your great grandfather in the hope that he can help us relieve our pain. "

"We begged all the way to citrus village after a lot of hardships. After we arrived, we knew that your grandfather had passed away. Your grandfather warmly received us and treated us. We lived in Citrus village for more than three months, and the disease got some remission but not eradication. Dr. ye said that he lacks several kinds of medicinal materials. Because of the lack of these key medicinal materials, the effect is not particularly ideal. "

The great monk added: "we have lived in Citrus village for more than half a year, but the situation has not improved. On the third day, we said goodbye to Dr. ye and went back to our hometown to look for medicinal materials. Because we are rich in various kinds of medicinal materials. When your grandfather brought your grandfather to our village, it was because we had rich medicinal materials and complete varieties. Unfortunately, we searched the mountain for more than three months, but we still couldn't find anything. "

I asked curiously, "do you know herbs?"

"Yes. The people in our village, from 80 years old to 3 years old, don't know herbal medicine. We mainly rely on collecting medicinal materials, hunting and farming for a living, but the doctors in our village are not as good as your grandfather. "

Unwilling to be lonely, the smelly beggar added: "Dr. Ye told us all the herbs he lacked, and he gave us a list of the shapes, properties, functions and so on of all kinds of herbs. These herbs are really rare, and we haven't seen them in our village."

"So you went to Longdao?"

The Taoist priest nodded: "not bad. We didn't find any medicinal materials in the village, so we had no choice but to consult Banxian. Banxian refused to tell us at first, but later we begged him to kneel outside the broken temple for three days and two nights and ask him for directions. When Banxian saw that we were really miserable and sincere, he told us a place where there must be. This place is Dragon Island. Banxian doesn't suggest that we go to Longdao. He thinks it's in vain for us to go there. He says that when we go to Longdao, we'll never come back. "

"Did you choose to go in the end?"The great monk said helplessly, "what if you don't go. Why don't you go to die? Maybe you can't have a chance. I don't want to be blind all my life. What's the point of living like this. Taoist, when his secret illness broke out, he was in pain. If he goes on like this, he will see the king of hell one day. I'm not to mention that my stomach is getting bigger and bigger. I can't tell when I'll be burst. "

It suddenly occurred to me that the three of them were all peasants. Why did they pretend to be Taoists, monks and beggars.

The old Taoist explained, "it's not because the road is too far away. We have no food before we go far away. We beg all the way. Taoists and monks can make love, and beggars are more convenient. The three of us are not pretending to be monks. I became a Taoist because I was a Taoist in the village before. The monk chose to be a monk because he was born bald and lazy. As for the old beggar, he used to be blind and couldn't see the way, so he begged for a living in the village. "

So it is. No wonder at the beginning of the meeting, I sneered at the monk that he was a bald donkey. He reacted so strongly that he almost tried to compete with me. Naturally, people born with baldness taboo this name.

"So when you come back this time, are you going to go back to your old business?"

The old Taoist was a little ashamed and said, "when we went to Longdao with your grandfather, we only brought these clothes, all of which were Taoist robes, monk robes or old clothes. One person brought a big bag. I didn't expect that we had been in Longdao for more than 20 years. When we left Longdao again, we would only be able to come back in this shape."

"No, you haven't been with Kong Xueqiang for a while, and he hasn't bought you any clothes?"
