Yi Prefecture City, the cold wind was blocking the way, and the heavy snow was covering his eyes.
In the snowy path, there was an old man and a young woman who were moving against the wind. The snowflakes were like goose feathers, and when they were blown by the wind, they were like blade leaves, causing their faces to be in pain.
The old man thought to himself that if he wanted to dodge the cold wind and only focused on walking, he would have to jump left and right happily. The old Daoist robes fluttered wildly in the wind, and it was unknown if it was because the wind was strong or because the clothes were loose, but the young man would occasionally pull on his body.
The old man seemed to be annoyed by the wind and snow. He muttered to himself, ”The heavens have no kin, and are often with the good. I have been a good person my whole life, but have come to experience the pain of the snow.”
The youth said with a smile, ”Master, the Dao returns: 'To the Void, quiet down.' This blizzard is the weather of nature, and it does not matter to the kind. Master laments the heavens, and thinks that just because the heavens are angry at you, it is a great mistake. ”
The old man snappily said: ”You little slut! Your teacher hasn't eaten for two days. Since you're so capable, why don't you go and give your teacher something to eat? ”
The youth said, ”You have been asking me to memorize books all day and have not taught me how to perform tricks! Furthermore, it is snowing heavily right now, and there are only a few passersby. It is impossible to fool them even if you wish to! ”
The old man angrily replied, ”If I don't steal it then I won't steal it. I have never tried to coerce or tempt anyone. Where did the words' cheating 'come from?” The teenager stuck his tongue out at him but didn't say anything. The old man continued, ”There's a place to go up ahead. We should hurry up.”
He seemed to have smelled the food.
The young man was even more happy, because in the past two months, the old man's nose had never failed once.
This master and disciple were none other than the old Daoist Master of the Green Continent, the little beggar Liu'er.
That day, the Daoist priest had forced himself to eat a biscuit for six days, and Liu'er had fought with him for half a day. In the end, because he was small, he was beaten up.
The two of them quickly turned the corner and walked forward for a while. Sure enough, they saw the front door of an inn was wide open and the four words Fortune Inn hung on the door. At this time, the wind had died down. The two of them gazed into the distance and saw a few figures dressed in martial attire sitting there, discussing something.
Daoist Xu Zhen said, ”This is the place!” Liu'er was very happy to hear this. She quickened her steps and jumped towards the inn.
The waiter was busy preparing tea for the guests at the center table. Hearing a light sound coming from the door, he turned around and saw a fifteen to sixteen year old child jumping in and standing there, looking around.
The waiter sized him up and saw that he was dressed in filthy, disheveled, and unkempt clothing. The robe did not seem to belong to him, and it did not fit him at all. He decided he was a flower and shouted: ”Where did this' Little Flower 'come from? Get out!” As he spoke, he hurried outside.
As they were rushing, they saw another old man standing outside the door. He was also dressed like a Daoist. The old man had white hair and a beard. His Daoist robe fluttered in the wind. At this moment, it was snowing heavily behind him, and the sky was covered in a vast expanse of whiteness. At first glance, the old man appeared to be a true Immortal that had descended into the mortal world.
The waiter was stunned as he heard the old Daoist say, ”Infinity Empyrean! The saying goes, 'The base is the base, the base is the base'. Although our clothes are worn out, in the end … ” He couldn't hear it clearly anymore.
It turned out that Daoist Voidgrace was very hungry, and his voice was weak. Once again, a fierce wind blew against him, dispersing his thoughts.
