Scholar Wang from the county seat is the seventh eldest son in his family. His ancestors have been officials for generations. Since he was young, he has worshiped Taoism. He heard that there are many immortals in Mount Laoshan, so he packed his luggage and went to visit.

When you reach the top of a mountain, you will see a temple, which is extremely quiet. Push the door and enter the main hall. In front of you, a Taoist priest is sitting on a futon, with a head full of white hair, bright eyes, and an extraordinary bearing.

He stepped forward to talk to him. The Taoist priest had a deep heart and was able to explain the principles orally in a eloquent way, which was very mysterious. The scholar was delighted and asked the Taoist priest to accept him as his disciple. The Taoist priest smiled and said, "The donor is pampered and pampered. Can he endure hardship?"

The scholar said: "If you can bear hardships, you can bear hardships." The Taoist priest stopped talking.

In the evening, the Taoist disciples gathered in the main hall and ordered the scholars to kowtow in greeting one by one, saying: "These are your senior brothers. From today on, you will stay in the temple."

Early the next morning, the Taoist priest called the scholar to come, gave him an iron ax handle, and asked him to go up the mountain to chop firewood with his brothers. The scholar Nuonuo accepted the order. After more than a month, the scholar cut firewood every day, and his hands and feet wore calluses.

, unbearable to work, secretly intending to quit.

That night, when the scholar came back from chopping firewood, he saw two friends drinking with his master in the Taoist temple from a distance. It was already dusk, there were no lights in the temple, and the surroundings were getting dark.

The Taoist priest took out a pair of scissors, cut the paper with the knife, cut out a round mirror, and attached it to the wall.

After a while, soft light emitted from the paper mirror, and the moon filled the window, illuminating the entire room. I could see no trace of the disciples in the room running around to serve him, with respectful expressions.

One of the guests said: "It's a beautiful night, and it's better to enjoy it alone than to enjoy it together." After saying this, he gently took the wine bottle from the table, distributed it to the disciples, and said: "But drink to your heart's content, no need to be polite, and you must be drunk before you stop."

"

Wang Shusheng thought to himself, "How can one pot of wine be enough for seven or eight people?"

All the disciples were looking for wine glasses and scrambling to grab the wine, fearing that there would not be enough wine. But it was strange that if you drank one glass and I drank one quickly, the wine in the pot was full, but it did not decrease.

Not long after, a guest said: "Although the moon is shining brightly, I am drinking alone and lonely. It is better to call Chang'e to come and accompany me." He threw his chopsticks at the bright moon, and saw a beautiful woman walking out of the moon, less than a foot long.

When his feet landed on the ground, his body rose sharply, gradually reaching the same height as an ordinary person.

The beautiful woman twists her slender waist and performs a graceful dance in neon clothes and feathers. She dances and sings, "How come you are so immortal? You are leaving me alone in Guanghan!" (God, why did you confine me in Guanghan Palace when you left alone?

?)

The sound was clear and clear, like a flute playing. After the song, the beauty circled up and jumped to the table. While the disciples were watching in surprise, the beauty had turned into a bamboo chopstick.

The Taoist priest and his friend laughed, and another guest said: "Although the banquet is enjoyable, it is not overpowering. How about we all go to the Moon Palace for a farewell drink?"

As soon as the words were finished, the three of them moved to the table, and gradually entered the moon. The disciples looked up and saw the master and his friend looking leisurely, sitting and drinking in the moonlight, their men and eyebrows appeared, just like the reflection in the mirror, every move was clear and distinct.

After a while, the moonlight dimmed, and someone lit a candle. Under the candlelight, I saw the Taoist priest sitting alone at the table, and the two guests were nowhere to be found. The cups and plates on the table were in a mess, and the bright moon on the wall had returned to its original shape.

It's just a paper cut.

The Taoist priest asked his disciples, "Have you had enough wine?"

The disciples said: "That's enough."

The Taoist priest said, "Then go back and sleep. Don't waste time cutting firewood in the morning." After hearing this, the disciples retreated one after another.

The scholar saw such magic in person and was envious of the surprise. Without thinking, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​going home.

In the blink of an eye, another month passed, and the scholar was still chopping firewood. It was unbearable, but the Taoist priest didn't even teach him a single spell. He couldn't hold it in anymore, so he went to say goodbye to the master and said: "I have traveled hundreds of miles to come to be my disciple."

To learn Taoism, even if I can't practice the magic of immortality, I should at least teach me a small magical power. But in the past few dozen days, I have either gone up the mountain to chop wood or gone to bed. I have never suffered like this at home before.

.”

The Taoist priest smiled and said: "I have said before that you cannot endure hardship, and it is as expected. You will go back tomorrow."

The scholar said: "My disciple has been working hard for many days, and there is still hard work without any merit. Please be kind to Master and teach me a Taoist method. This will be a worthwhile trip."

The Taoist priest asked: "What magic do you want to learn?"

The scholar said: "Whenever I see my master walking through walls as if he were walking on flat ground, I ask him to teach me this technique. My wish is enough."

The Taoist priest said, "You want to learn the art of wall penetration? OK, I'll teach you right now." He then taught the mantra, ordered the scholar to recite the incantation, pointed his finger at the wall, and said, "Try it."

The scholar followed the instructions and tested it. The wall blocked it and could not penetrate.

The Taoist priest said: "Lower your head and move forward quickly, don't hesitate."

The scholar nodded and walked a few feet away from the wall. He sprinted quickly and passed through. He felt that the wall was empty. He looked back and saw that he was outside the wall.

The scholar was overjoyed and went into the house to thank him. The Taoist priest said: "You must clean yourself after returning home, otherwise the magic will not work." He gave the scholar money and sent him back to his hometown.

The scholar returned to his mansion and bragged to his wife, "I know magic and can walk through walls effortlessly." His wife shook her head in disbelief. The scholar decided to put on a show, walked to the wall, rushed in, and heard a bang.

There was a loud noise, and the scholar hit his head against the hard wall, screamed miserably, and fell to the ground.

The wife helped the scholar up and looked at him. She saw a big swollen egg on his forehead. She couldn't help but giggle. The scholar's face turned red and he was ashamed. He cursed the master bitterly: "This old Taoist priest has no good intentions."
