I think my master should have wanted to laugh at that time, but he just got angry with me and was embarrassed to laugh, so he could only endure it.

Later, my senior brother Zhuang stood up and said that he had prepared the meal. Grandpa Li and his friends rushed for a day and were hungry. They asked my master if it was a meal now?

My master also took the opportunity to take the boat and called Grandpa Li and the others to have dinner. Before leaving, he said to me at the door: "Just kneel here, when will you find your true heart and when will you get up?"

My master said this very obscurely. His meaning is that when he allows me to get up, I can get up. My master also knows that I can't understand the meaning of the word "Original Heart".

But there is one thing I understand. No matter what my original intention is, I will never do anything like stealing in the future.

From stealing the watermelon from Widow Liu’s house a few years ago to that time, it should be the last time I violated the “stealing” recklessness.

Until the master walked away, Senior Brother Zhuang came to me and stuffed a small brown bottle into my hand. He sighed helplessly: "Oh, you! Take a good look at it."

I looked at the things in my hand and realized that Senior Brother Zhuang came to save me specifically. It was a bottle of beating wine. He was afraid that my master would beat me up, so he prepared in advance.

Senior Brother Zhuang gave me the things and left. I knelt honestly in front of the portrait of the ancestor.

When Xian'er saw that I was beaten, she seemed a little disgusted and asked me in a low voice: "Does it hurt?"

I was still angry with her and didn't want to pay attention to her, and she didn't have the nerve to talk anymore.

To be honest, I was really resentful at that time. The resentful Xian'er encouraged me to steal money. If I had no such thing as her, I would never have stolen Master's money.

But if it was someone else's money, if it was Brother Zhuang's money or Brother Feng's money, would I go and get it privately? It's really hard to say about this kind of thing. After all, I know that even if I stole the money, Brother Zhuang and Brother Feng would just say that I would never get so angry like Master.

Although our business is secret for ordinary people, when walking outside, there are always various temptations surrounding us. Some of these temptations may be harmless, but some are the ultimate evils.

I know, it may be a bit exaggerated to say this, but that's the truth.

I still can't tell whether the "Tao" mentioned by Master is my original heart, but some of the things I have experienced over the years have made me understand that for those who have lost their original heart, they will never be restored! My fellow master Zhao Zongdian is the best example.

I knelt for several hours, and I felt that my knees were almost unconscious. I looked outside the window. The sun had already set, and it was dark outside, and the stars and moons were all invisible. I felt empty and my stomach was so hungry that my master had never been there since the afternoon. Later, I was dazed at the portrait of the ancestor. I don’t know how long it took, but I heard that the door behind me was pushed open.

At first, I thought it was my master who came, but the footsteps I heard were not my master. The sound was very light, like a cat. I turned around and saw Liang Houzai walking in sneakily, looking out the door vigilantly.

After entering the room, he carefully closed the door, fearing that it would make a sound. I noticed that on his left hand, there was a small plastic bag containing buns.

As soon as I saw those buns, I felt even hungry.

He ran to me and handed me the bun: "I bought it when I was on the train, but it's a little cold now."

These buns were really for me! I was too hungry at the time. While saying thank you, I took the plastic bag and started eating it voraciously.

Liang Houzai squatted beside him and looked at me eating. He felt a little embarrassed to see me, so he took out a bun and gave it to him: "Do you eat it?"

"I've had a meal," he shook his head and asked me again: "Are you Grandpa Chai's apprentice?"

I originally wanted to speak, but my mouth was full and I could only nod.

He seemed to be very curious about me, and after a while, he said, "What's your name? My name is Liang Houzai."

I swallowed the bun in my mouth hard before saying to him: "Zuo Youdao, it turns out that he is called Zuo Kang, and it was my master who changed my name to me."

Liang Houzai said "Oh" and stopped talking.

Sometimes when I think about it, fate is really a magical thing. My friendship with Lao Liang started with this bag of buns. It was very small, but it drew a heavy stroke in my memory. Now I still remember how he looked when he looked at me. His eyes were deeply curious, but his expression was a kind of indescribable restraint and nervousness.

Liang Houzai and Liu Shangang are completely from two worlds. He is not good at talking and is not good at socializing. Apart from his master, I am the first stranger he has come into contact with.

After I finished eating the buns, Liang Houzai put away the plastic bag, gave me a tissue, and asked me to wipe my hands and mouth. I was afraid that my master would see it.

But just as Liang Houzai got up and was about to leave, my master's voice sounded outside the door: "You Tao, come out."

I was just busy eating, and I didn't pay attention to the footsteps outside the door. The sudden sound of my master scared Liang Houzai and me.

At this time, my master had already pushed the door open, and behind his master, he was still following Grandpa Li.

When they saw Liang Houzai, they were stunned for a moment. Then my master's eyes fell on Liang Houzai's hand, and Liang Houzai was still holding the oily plastic bag in his hand.

My master snorted from his nose: "Hmph, two naughty kids! Houzai, come here too."

Grandpa Li didn't say anything and left one after another with my master. My legs and feet were numb when I knelt down, and Liang Houzai helped me up and followed me.

The master led us into the basement of the hotel again.

The long stone steps still give people a very gloomy feeling, but I have been here once and I am not afraid. Instead, I am looking forward to seeing the Black Water Coffin. If I have good luck, I might see the first generation ancestor again.

But Liang Houzai next to me was very nervous. From the moment he walked into the basement stairs, he grabbed my arm tightly. He was small but strong, and his arms felt numb.

It seems that this is not the first time Grandpa Li has come. He walks lightly on the stone steps, completely like a light and light cloud.

While Grandpa Li was walking, I noticed that there was a camera hanging around his neck, shaking around with the swaying of his body.

When I came to the iron door covered with talismans, my master turned around, pointed to the camera on Grandpa Li's chest and said, "Don't bring this thing in later, I'm disrespectful to my ancestors."

Grandpa Li held the camera in both hands, as if my master was about to compete with him. He also said to my master: "Isn't it just a camera? Why are you disrespectful? Okay, okay, you should be busy with yours, just don't care about me."

My master shook his head helplessly, waved to me again, and signaled me to go over.

In fact, when my master brought us this time, there was nothing else. He just cleaned the coffin room of the Black Water Corpse and cleaned up the incense ash I left when I burned incense last time.

When I entered the coffin room, I saw Grandpa Li and Liang Houzai replacing the talismans on the iron door.

While packing up the incense ash on the ground, my master said to me: "Houzai will live with us in the future. If you have time to ask him about Chenzhou Fu. Their lineage is an expert in the attainment of Chenzhou Fu."

My master said before, can't he make any noise after entering the coffin room? Why did he take the initiative to speak?

I was thinking, is it just that I can't keep silent, and Master can be an exception? In addition, Master had an angry look in front of me not long ago, and I still had a shadow in my heart and didn't dare to respond.

After a while, the master said to me again: "It's past Mao's hour now, you can speak now. The Qi field of the Black Water Corpse Coffin is the strongest in Mao's hour. I didn't let you speak at that time because I was afraid that you would be invaded by this Qi field. Now it seems that my worries at that time were unnecessary."

Actually, I had nothing to say, but the master seemed to be looking forward to me saying something. After thinking about it, I could only say: "I will never steal anything again."

The master looked up at me and shook his head again: "Isn't it so simple to not steal things? Forget it, you can't understand the deep meaning of my heart now. When you see more and encounter more things in the future, you will naturally be able to understand them slowly. I have also reflected on what you did today. I have indeed been a little anxious about your teaching in the past two years. Many things at your roots have not been allowed to be understood by yourself."

While speaking, the master put the incense ash into a small black box, stood up and continued, "But don't blame me. Planting a coffin for the second time was very dangerous. I have taught you so much over the years, and I originally wanted to stabilize your Yang Shen. Only when your body is strong and your mind is calm can you be strong enough."

The master did not face me when he spoke, and his gaze remained on the black water corpse coffin.

The black water corpse coffin at this moment was no longer as angry as I did when I planted the coffin. Even the black water on it stopped and no longer surged. It seemed to be asleep, and no longer allowed my master to speak beside him, without any reaction.

The master handed me the box containing incense ash and asked me to put the luggage in order to keep it well in the future.

When I walked out of the coffin room, Grandpa Li suddenly raised his camera and shouted at my master: "Old Chai, laugh."

The moment my master turned around, Grandpa Li pressed the shutter of the camera, and with a "click", the flash light lit up instantly.
