PFC Chapter 175
Chapter 175
"I am eighty-three years old this year. I grew up in Zhangjia Village..."
……
After sending the people away, Liu Juyi sat alone in a chair and pondered. On the pearwood table in front of him were all the rumors about the mysterious Taoist priest that his subordinates had collected.
My fingers tapped lightly on the rice paper on the table, and the rice paper and the table made contact, making a rustling sound in the quiet room.
Liu Juyi was a little hesitant, and his pair of auspicious phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, making the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes a little obvious, but it did not damage his dignity at all.
Do you want to go and see this Taoist who suddenly appeared?
After writing for a while, Liu Juyi calmed down and finally made a decision. He gently placed the pen on the inkstone, exhaled the depressed mood in his chest, and closed his eyes.
"Someone is coming."
"Yes, my lord."
"Go find that famous Taoist Feng in the city. Where is he now?"
He wanted to see for himself whether this Taoist priest really had the ability or was just some weirdo pretending to be mysterious.
If it is the latter, then don't blame him for being rude. If it is the former, then Liu Juyi will naturally invite the Taoist priest politely, no matter what method he uses.
……
Feng Lan fished by the lake for three days and finally waited for Liu Juyi.
With Huahua tipping her off, Feng Lan naturally knew that Liu Juyi had hesitated for a long time beside the pavilion she built. After all, a conspicuous pavilion suddenly appeared on the familiar path, making it hard not to wonder if he had taken the wrong path.
"I remember there wasn't a pavilion here before?"
Liu Juyi couldn't help but look back at the winding path, and then looked ahead. He was very sure and certain in his memory that there was only this one path from Rongcheng to the lake, and he didn't walk into any forked corners in the middle.
Except for this mahogany pavilion that suddenly appeared from nowhere, everything else is the same as I remembered.
A winding dirt road, with green grass on both sides and unknown wild flowers blooming here and there. In the distance, there are rolling mountains. A mirror-like lake can be seen here. The lake reflects the mountains. The green mountains are hidden in the green, and it is as beautiful as a reserved woman in green with lowered eyebrows.
Although hesitant, Liu Juyi continued to move forward, but he felt in his heart that he might have stepped into some real or fake illusion, just like the man who lost his chess piece, or the scholar who had a dream?
Liu Juyi thought that because of this strange pavilion, the Taoist priest, whom he had not yet met, was automatically shrouded in a layer of mystery.
He had a feeling that this trip would be a wonderful journey.
Maybe I just experienced what the ancient poets called a dream.
As he got closer, Liu Juyi easily saw a fisherman by the lake.
He had never met Mr. Feng.
According to the descriptions of the villagers in Zhangjia Village and the rumors in the city, he is handsome, with a face like a god, and has a look like the breeze and bright moon. Just by looking at him, you feel that he is a Taoist priest in green clothes with an immortal appearance!
Liu Juyi stood silently by the lake, not daring to go forward and disturb them. At this moment, he suddenly understood.
(The artistic conception is similar to that of a lone fisherman fishing on a cold river at night)
The sky and water were one color, the green mountains were lush, and by the lake, a Taoist priest in green clothes and wearing a bamboo hat was sitting quietly in the grass by the lake. His posture was relaxed and naturally upright. The bamboo hat covered his face, but Liu Juyi could still see the Taoist priest's leisurely and elegant mood.
"Wow--"
The calm lake surface was rippling with small splashes of water, and circles of ripples spread outward with the fishing line as the center. The Taoist in green clothes lifted the fishing rod slightly and caught a small fish the size of a palm. His slender hands shook it and put the small fish into the bamboo basket at his side with satisfaction.
When the other person turned sideways, Liu Juyi saw a small part of the white jaw under the hat and a strand of hair hanging down from the temples.
