After dinner, he quickly turned off the oil lamp, and when his sister went to sleep, Xu Xian quietly walked out of the door. He was not used to going to bed too early, but he couldn't resist his sister, so he had to sneak out every night.

But there are neither computers nor TVs in this world. The only entertainment at night is probably the brothels and boats by the lake. Not to mention having no money, even if he had money, he would not dare to go to such a place.

My sister will probably fight him tooth and nail!

Appreciating the moonlight is the only way to relieve boredom! But today there is no moonlight at all, only the stars in the autumn night show a little loneliness. But Xu Xian also prefers nights like this. Perhaps only at this time, he will let go of the loneliness in his heart.

Reveal it openly!

Yes, although his sister treats him like a biological mother, there are some things that she cannot understand. Living in two lives, how can things from the previous life be easily thrown away? Xu Xian often feels this way, that he and the people around him are incompatible with each other.

Different, thinking about completely different things.

Although this world is not like any dynasty in Xu Xian's memory, he can become famous all over the world just by copying a few poems. He has seen such a completely different world.

It's just that Xu Xian is not destined to be lonely tonight. On the small bridge where he often wanders, there is a figure standing at this moment. Xu Xian's heart trembles. He knows that there are ghosts in this world. And fear of ghosts is the most natural emotion.

But Xu Xian then felt relieved and realized that it was not a ghost, but the Taoist priest he met today.

"Taoist Priest, why don't you go home?" Xu Xian stepped forward and asked with concern.

"We are at home in the world, but we have no home in the world. Don't blame me for pushing you down today." The Taoist priest turned around and smiled at Xu Xian.

"Of course it's strange, but as long as you teach me my magic, I won't blame you." Xu Xian wanted to pretend to be generous and coax the Taoist to give him the book, but the words came to his mind.

Come to think of it, he is really not a person who is good at hypocrisy.

The Taoist laughed loudly: "I want to give it to you today, but you don't want it. You want those vulgar things. Now you want it but there is none. But I ask you, why do you want to help the countryman who sells pears today? You are so stingy and stupid.

Man, he still wants to drag you to see an official."

Xu Xian was disappointed, so he replied casually: "Although he is stingy, he is doing legitimate business and is not a bad person. It's just that you took someone else's pears and chopped off their handlebars. He felt happy, but he didn't care about others at all.

feelings.”

The Taoist priest said angrily: "I am just punishing him. I hope he will be alert and not let his temper lead him to be stingy. Otherwise, he will lose more than just pears in the future."

"That's his nature, just like a bird wants to fly or a fish wants to swim. As long as he doesn't interfere with others, let him do it. Why do you have to force it? You can eat pears if you want according to your own temper.

, If you want to be alert, be alert, and you have the nerve to tell me." Xu Xian regretted it after saying this, not to mention his spells, even such an adult is not something he can deal with now, and when the Taoist priest gets angry, he will call Tiantian for help.

.

The Taoist priest glared angrily, and Xu Xian was uneasy, but he didn't expect the Taoist priest to suddenly laugh: "Things follow their nature, don't force it. Things follow their nature, don't force it. Master, master, it turns out that I have always been the one who has acted arbitrarily!"

"If that's okay, I'll go back first. You should quickly find a place to sleep. There is a temple on the mountain to the north. Although it is a place where monks stay, they are all monks. They should be able to take you in for one night." After Xu Xian finished speaking, he turned and left.

He wanted to go, but the Taoist priest's words held Xu Xian in place like a body-fixing technique.

"Do you want to learn my method?"

Xu Xian immediately turned around and said, "I want it, I want it very much." His eyes were brighter than the stars. It was impossible not to think about this kind of thing.

The Taoist priest secretly laughed, he was just a child after all, but he liked this kind of unpretentious temperament. He had traveled all over the mountains and met all kinds of people. If a person was telling the truth, he would never escape his eyes. And if a person was telling the truth, he could not escape his eyes.

With such ability, the most despised people are those deceitful people who think they are smart.

During the day, Xu Xian's actions all fell into his eyes. He saw that Xu Xian was young and mature, and had a good heart, but he was not a person seeking fame and reputation, so he had the idea of ​​accepting a disciple in his heart. After talking to him tonight, he realized that he had a clear sense of right and wrong, and was not that kind of person.

The good old man who was confused couldn't help but like him even more.

"Although your mind has been opened early, your qualifications are only average, and your intelligence is only average. This is the first difficulty. To practice this way, you have to be able to penetrate through drops of water. But I don't think you are a person with great perseverance. It is even more difficult.

The harder it gets, the harder it will be, and in the end you may not be able to get up or down, and your time will be wasted. In this way, you still have to learn."

"You have to learn, you have to learn." Xu Xian thought, even if it doesn't work, it would be good to do a magic show! Xu Xian thought so, but he didn't think of stealing or robbing.

"When I was young, I abandoned my wife and children and immersed myself in this Tao. Now I have only cultivated into a miserable state. Do you still want to learn?"

"You have to learn, you have to learn." Xu Xianxin said: My future wife has a thousand years of cultivation, can I abandon me?

"Okay, then we will make an appointment as master and disciple and teach you this way."

Xu Xian was overjoyed, but when he saw the Taoist master, he had a sad look on his face. His heart moved and he couldn't help but ask: "Taoist master, do you regret it now?"

The Taoist priest frowned and thought for a while, and finally said resolutely: "This is what I want in my life, and I have no regrets."

"No regrets?" Xu Xian murmured. Just these two words, but I don't know how much determination and sadness they contain. However, no matter how miserable a person is in this life, as long as he can ask himself and leave the word "no regrets", it will not be in vain.

live.

Xu Xian sighed inwardly for no reason, but he was very happy for him. At this moment, he also wanted to ask himself, do you regret it? All kinds of things in the past life passed by his eyes, but he couldn't figure out whether it was regret.

I still have no regrets. But the past is hard to recall. Since God has given me this life, I must live it to the fullest without any regrets.

Just when Xu Xian was meditating on the past, the Taoist priest pointed like a sword, and quickly touched the center of Xu Xian's eyebrows. Before Xu Xian could react, he felt like the sky was falling apart in his mind. He wanted to cry out in pain, but his body could not help himself. Xu Xian felt that it was as long as an eternity, but

In fact, it only lasted a short time. At this moment, Xu Xian seemed to be fished out of the water, and his whole body was soaked with sweat. He felt that there were many more things in his mind, but there was no way to find them. He raised his head and thought

Ask the master.

But the Taoist priest just said: "Go ahead!" and stopped looking at him.

Xu Xian's head was filled with confusion, so he walked towards home obediently, but after taking only two steps, he turned around in shock. "Master, where is the book?" But he was still thinking about the secret book.

The Taoist priest was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then laughed and cursed: "I have to give you all my money." He took out a book from his arms and threw it to Xu Xian. Xu Xian took it and took a look. There were three words written on the cover.

The ancient seal script, vaguely but recognizable, contains the three characters "Tao Te Ching".

I was about to argue with the master, but I found that the bridge was empty, and the Taoist priest had long disappeared. I felt helpless, but I felt as if I had been working for a whole day, and my body was so heavy that I just wanted to fall asleep. I could only force myself.

He held on and walked home.

At this time, all the lights in the houses were extinguished one by one, leaving only the stars in the sky forever. The Taoist priest looked at Xu Xian's staggering figure and thought to himself.
