chewing dragon

Chapter 87

Great Zhou Kingdom, capital, Baiyun Temple.

Under the pine tree in front of the Taoist house, a young Taoist priest aged fifteen or sixteen was shaving a middle-aged Taoist priest with a razor in his hand.

The middle-aged Daoist has a square face, wide mouth, protruding forehead, and abundant hair on his head. At this moment, his eyes are slightly closed, and he looks a bit calm and majestic.

The young Taoist priest's eyebrows and eyes were straight, and his eyes were full of spirit. At this time, his eyes were even more focused, with a serious and quiet expression.

The razor in his hand was as thin as a cicada's wing, sharp and shiny.

During the flickering of the knife, the messy hair and fine hairs of the middle-aged Taoist's face fell off one after another, and the whole face became much neater and shiny.

After the young Taoist priest finished his busy work, the Taoist opened his eyes unsatisfied, smiled and praised: "You can handle the knife like flying, so wonderful, your unique skill of grooming has already been taught by Master Luo, no wonder you look at the inside and the outside They don’t call you by your dao name, but Master Xiao Luo.”

The young Taoist priest did not rush to answer, but cleaned the razor meticulously, and then put it into a leather case hanging on his waist.

The middle-aged Taoist glanced at it, and saw that apart from the razor that was just put in, there were obviously several different styles of knives and other tools in the not-so-big leather case.

The young Taoist carefully fastened the lid of the box, and then he raised his head and smiled shyly: "The real master Guanzhu is ridiculously praised! Luo Gong once rectified the dragon face of the two previous kings, and was awarded the title of 'Indifferent and Shouyi Real Man'. He has served by his side for two years, and he has learned a little or two under the influence of his ears and eyes, and he will never dare to call himself the successor of Duke Luo."

Master Baiyun shook his head, pointed at the leather box on the young Taoist priest's waist and said with a smile: "You don't need to belittle yourself, since Master Luo deliberately left you the set of tools he created before he emerged, isn't that just passing on the mantle to you? "

The young Taoist smiled modestly: "Luo Gong is a person with great supernatural powers. How can the little way of shaving my head and face I learned be called a mantle?"

"Ha! Although it's hair skills, it's top kung fu!"

Baiyun Guan was obviously in a good mood after the facial repair, and he was quite interested in pointing out Jiangshan: "Renren Luo's rectification of Longyan is already an old thing in the previous dynasty. The new week was established, and the atmosphere is new. In my opinion, your master Luo The day when the king orders you to enter the palace, accompany Luan to drive, and become a deacon is not far away!"

As soon as he finished his words, suddenly a tiger-headed little Taoist priest who was only eight or nine years old ran into the courtyard and said out of breath, "Master! Two servants have come to the palace and want to pass on Master Luo!"

The Lord Baiyun just mentioned this matter, and people came to the palace unexpectedly. He was surprised but also found it funny, turned his head to look at Master Xiao Luo, who no one remembered his Taoist name, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about? I am here Here I want to say congratulations first! This time I will be able to meet the lord Longyan, it must be a skyrocketing success!"

After finishing speaking, the master of Baiyun Temple suddenly shook his head again, and sighed: "It's a pity that you have already got Master Luo as your teacher. I don't want to take away your disciples. Now you have a great future. It is gratifying to congratulate you, but you are only one of my Baiyun Temple. Sorry!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the little Taoist priest who reported the letter quickly shook his head and corrected him: "Master, the one who wants to see Master Xiao Luo is not the king, but the prince!"

"Sir?"

The Lord Baiyun was startled when he heard the words, then frowned, and asked in doubt: "My son has always been modest and courteous, and kept quiet, why did he suddenly recruit someone from outside the palace to serve him?"

The little Taoist priest who reported the letter couldn't answer it, and immediately shook his head again.

On the contrary, the young Taoist seemed to have nothing to do with himself, and his expression was always calm.

He briefly tidied up his appearance, and then bid farewell to Baiyun Guanzhu: "The real Guanzhu, since it is the son of the prince, I don't want to delay, so I will go to the palace."

"Alright, although the son is gentle, he is also a nobleman in the palace and the prince of the country. You must not neglect in the slightest. You should go!"

The Master Baiyun urged, stood on the spot and quietly watched the young Taoist's back go away, a golden light flashed in his eyes suddenly: "Hmph! The bastard is indifferent! This kid doesn't know what to do next to him, but Luo Laodao's The hypocrisy has learned a lot!"

The little Taoist priest at the side heard his master's dislike, and raised his head in puzzlement and asked: "Master, Master Xiao Luo has been in our temple for several years, and everyone likes it, why do you..."

"What do you know!"

The Master Baiyun interrupted the apprentice's questioning, his face suddenly became a little dignified: "Sharpen the beard, and try it! If this line regains power, the Great Zhou Kingdom will be troubled from now on!"

Not to mention the discussions between the master and the apprentice of Baiyun Temple, when the young Taoist priest left the Taoist temple, he saw an ox cart parked outside the door, and the cart was pulled by a majestic white ox.

The white cow's body is not fur, but fine and dense frosty white scales, and when it opens its mouth, it reveals a mouth full of sharp steel teeth, obviously it is not a vegetarian.

Two servants in the palace were standing in front of the car waiting, and when they saw the young Taoist priest coming out of the door, they all showed smiles, one of them walked quickly, and took the initiative to greet him, first saluted and asked, "Is it Daoist Xiao Luo?"

This servant is already quite old, he is quite majestic, his words and deeds are definitely not eunuch's femininity, his left and right cheeks each have a long beard several inches long, they are all automatic and floating in the air without wind.

The young Taoist priest was startled when he saw this. It is unusual for the servants who can keep these two long beards. There are not many inner palaces in the whole week, and their status is naturally extremely high. When they met inside and outside the palace, most of them respectfully called long beards. male.

It is said that the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty is humble. Apart from a pair of long beards, the one in front of him is actually wearing the most common inner service color. It can be seen that if there is a master, there must be a servant. He must be a close confidant of the prince.

Seeing him in a daze, the long-bearded servant showed a little impatience on his face.

The young Taoist immediately came back to his senses, with a flattered expression on his face, and said back: "Poor morality and shallow conduct, how dare you pretend to be a real person, the long-bearded man called me Xiao Luo! Why don't you two go to the temple to drink tea, but here Greeting? It really broke me!"

The long-bearded servant put away his smile, shook his head, and said, "The palace is in a hurry, I can't wait to sit and drink tea! Xiao Luo...Master, let's set off now!"

Hearing this, the young Taoist became more and more suspicious, but his face didn't show at all, he nodded immediately and said: "Since you are so eager, the poor Taoist should be presumptuous for a while, and don't talk about those vain rituals with the long beard."

"That's how it should be!"

The long-bearded servant waited, and immediately led the young Taoist priest into the carriage, and another white-faced and beardless servant went to act as the driver.

In the sound of whipping, the snow chi beast suddenly smoked from all four hooves, dragging the carriage and galloping away.

Sitting in the car, the young Taoist priest saw the scene outside the window changing rapidly, but he couldn't feel the slightest jolt, and his eyes could not help but be surprised.

The waiter with long beards has very sharp eyesight, and now he has received the rightful lord. He is not as urgent as before, and finally has the mood to say a few gossips: "At the beginning of the year, the Fubo army defeated the coalition forces of the Yuren and Diren in the North Sea. After the war, a lot of them were seized, including this unusually handsome and fast-moving snow chi beast."

"It is said that this kind of strange beast is a rare thing even in Beihai, and only the leaders of the Shark and Di clans are eligible to enjoy it. Last month, Lord Yuan led his army to a triumphant return, and selected [-] of the best-looking animals to donate to them. Da Nei. The lord of the country was overjoyed, and he gave snow chi beasts to the nobles in the palace, the relatives of the clan, and the officials above the second rank, and we got dozens of them in our womb alone."

The long-bearded servant paused for a moment, as if he felt that what he said earlier seemed to be showing off, and added: "It's all because of the great power of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the power of the king and the power of the king, and the fact that Yuan Houye's Fubo army is strong in a hundred battles." The army is the only way to smash the northern barbarians, clear the frontier barren land, and bring back so many good things at once!"

The young Taoist priest nodded and said with a smile: "This matter has been widely spread, and it is said that now all the rich and powerful in Beijing are proud of riding snow chariots. The poor Taoist has seen it from afar, but it is really the first time to ride it in person!"

He immediately bowed his hands in the direction of Ouchi: "The lord's grace, the son's benevolence, and the poor are deeply impressed!"

Seeing this, the long-bearded servant also showed a smile on his face: "Master Xiao Luo is a smart man! Going to the palace now, at least he won't lose his life so easily, so our family can rest assured!"

The young Taoist priest was surprised when he heard the words: "Why did Mr. Long Beard say such a thing?"
