Chapter 2: Downhill

In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was just getting dark, Zhang Ruolin was already sitting cross-legged on the bamboo mat in the Taoist temple.

Place your hands on your Dantian and breathe in the fresh air with each breath.

Zhang Ruolin is already familiar with this set of breathing techniques. He started learning it in a good way as early as when he was six or seven years old, when he first saw Mr. Niu practicing in the courtyard.

It takes ten years to study.

The breathing method has a heart secret: the air of heaven and earth can be divided into clear and turbid air. When the pure air enters the body, it can straighten the mind, and when the turbid air enters the body, it can destroy the body.

There are clouds in the Tao. Inhaling the clear and spitting out the turbid, the spiritual energy will last forever. A small thing can strengthen the body, and a big thing can turn into a feather and fly up.

When ordinary people seek truth, they can’t look beyond the universe, and they can’t look inside than the Dantian. When the Dantian is complete, the Tao and Dharma will be achieved. The Tao and Dharma are different, but the Tao mind is unified.

for a long time.

Seeing that the sky was completely bright, Niu Laodao packed up his fortune-telling gear and prepared to go out to do business.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Suddenly, a rapid knock on the door resounded throughout the mountain, and Zhang Ruolin, who was still practicing breathing with his eyes closed, was disturbed.

Seeing Niu Laodao dressed like this, he said with a simple smile:

"Which village is master going to do business in today?"

When Niu Laodao heard this, he glared at Zhang Ruolin and replied angrily:

"Hurry up and open the door, are you deaf?"

Being frightened by Niu Laodao, he hurriedly ran to open the door and shouted:

"I'm coming!"

After the door opened, only three to five people were seen walking in, surrounded by two middle-aged men wearing navy blue suits. One of them had a camera in his hand.

At this time, a thin old man came around from behind the two of them, with a smile on his face.

The smile also brought wrinkles to his face, and he shouted:

"Niu Laodao, oh, Niu Laodao, congratulations, really congratulations, look who's coming to see you."

When Niu Laodao saw that the person shouting was none other than the leader of the village at the foot of the mountain, he felt extremely unhappy and secretly said:

"You old guy, when I usually go into the village to set up a stall, you always let your dog loose. What are you doing here at my Taoist temple today?"

Niu Laodao is a man with an eye for all things. He hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and replied:

"Hey, Lao Litou, it's so early in the morning, didn't you see that I was going down the mountain to do business? What a congratulation!"

Lao Litou immediately straightened his face and replied:

"Business, what kind of business? Your predictions never work out. Look who I brought here."

As he spoke, he seemed to have another face, looking at the middle-aged man with a smile and said:

"Leader Qi, this is Taoist Master Niu."

Then he pointed to Zhang Ruolin who was standing at the door and said:

"That is the child adopted by Niu Laodao, Zhang Ruolin."

The man who was called the leader hurriedly stretched out a pair of slender white hands, shook Niu Laodao's hand and said happily:

"Taoist Master Niu, I am the small boss of a company in this village. I dare not consider myself as a leader. I heard from the county documents that your son got a key point in the exam. I heard that the Taoist priest is devoted to cultivating Taoism. Naturally, he is short of money, so he went out of his way to

I’ll send you and your children some travel expenses.”

Niu Laodao heard that the other party praised him so much, and that sentence:

If you are dedicated to practicing Taoism, you will naturally be short of money.

It's like listening to the sounds of nature.

I saw the other party take out an envelope as thick as a knuckle from his handbag, and he was immediately moved.

Boss Qi stuffed the envelope directly into Niu Laodao's arms and said:

"Be careful, be careful."

Click click click! The camera beeped three times.

The old man who was never afraid of vicious dogs was shocked.

Without waiting for Niu Laodao to refuse, Boss Qi spoke again:

"Master Niu is about to go out, so we won't disturb you. If you are always free, come and sit in the factory more often."

As soon as he finished speaking, several people had already left the door neatly.

At this time, there were only one old man and one young man left in the small courtyard who looked confused.

You look at me, I look at you.

Niu Laodao hurriedly asked Zhang Ruolin to lock the door, and then opened the envelope carefully.

A bundle of red banknotes dazzled the old man.

"Amita...!"

After thinking about it, it seems that I shouldn't say this because of my status.

He hurriedly reached out and patted his mouth twice.

I saw Zhang Ruolin had closed the door and walked over.

The old man raised the banknotes in his hand and said:

"Ruo Lin, your travel expenses have been paid. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, I really fulfilled what I said."

“After ten years of hard work and no one asked, you become famous all over the world in one fell swoop.”

The old Taoist put down his fortune-telling gear and walked into the house.

Zhang Ruolin asked hurriedly:

"Master, aren't you going to set up a stall today?"

Niu Laodao's muffled voice floated out from the house and said:

"With this pile of tacky paper, do I still need to set up a stall? You will be reporting to school in a few days, and I want to spend more time with you."

Zhang Ruolin turned a deaf ear and refused to comment.

Five days later, Niu Laodao watched Zhang Ruolin packing his luggage in the room.

He immediately became angry and cursed:

"Can you please be smart and pack your things quickly and go to the station? I've been annoyed to death these days."

"Every day, there are more than six waves of people sending money!"

"I am a Taoist temple. What kind of place is a Taoist temple? It is a place for cultivating Taoism! How should people from all over the country see me in the future?"

"Oh, my apprentice has been admitted to university, and my Taoist temple has become a favorite."

"Who was that person yesterday? He was really loud. He said that my Taoist temple was too broken and wanted to help me remove it and re-install it. I really thank you!"

Zhang Ruolin couldn't hold it back anymore and was about to laugh out loud, but he was afraid of being beaten a few times by the old Taoist.

He hurriedly said:

"Master, am I really going to leave? No one will wash your feet or cook for you in the future. I feel a little worried."

"How about you come with me?"

The old Taoist suddenly said with a bluster:

"What should I do with you? Don't think that just because you have that pile of tacky papers, you can only think about being comfortable all day long."

"Five thousand yuan is enough for your travel expenses. I will donate the rest tomorrow. I can earn food and drink with this money, but you should avoid causing trouble for me when you are away from home."

After Zhang Ruolin heard this, he quickly gave the old Tao a thumbs up.

The old man was about to step forward and hit him. Just when his hand was about to touch the young man's head, he gently stroked it a few times.

Finally he said seriously:

"Ruo Lin, remember a few words from my teacher. Don't throw away your breathing and practice it every day. Don't throw it away in Tai Chi, you have to practice it every day."

"Calm down and recuperate every day, don't be reckless, don't use force to bully others, don't...! Oh, forget it! In a word, you lose your mind by playing with things!"

Zhang Ruolin has long been accustomed to hearing a lot of "don'ts" from the old Taoist.
