Chapter 25 The Daoists in Troubled Times Back Their Swords
After Lin Yu thought for a moment, he said: "Not necessarily! Just take it as an example when I first started selling jewelry."
"I met a mother and daughter at that time. The mother took her daughter's bride price to buy jewelry, while the daughter on the side was begging her to return the bride price."
"It was only later that we found out that we gave our daughter a bride price and married her to a man we had never met before, who was even more than ten years older. Isn't this inappropriate for selling our daughter? We didn't take her daughter's feelings into consideration at all. In the end,
, the daughter watched in despair as her mother spent all the money from the bride price on jewelry!."
Lin Yu said, enjoying the cool breeze blowing on his face, and asked: "Why are you asking this all of a sudden!"
But Su Qingxue did not respond.
Lin Yu turned around to look, only to find Su Qingxue squatting on the ground with her head buried between her knees, wondering what she was doing.
Seeing that something was wrong with Su Qingxue, Lin Yu hurried over to check.
Lin Yu patted Su Qingxue and asked softly: "What's wrong, Qingxue!"
After being patted on the shoulder by Lin Yu, Su Qingxue reacted, raised her head and looked at Lin Yu, "What's wrong?"
Seeing that Su Qingxue's eyes were a little hazy, Lin Yu said: "I think there seems to be something wrong with your state. Have you remembered something?"
Su Qingxue shook her head quickly, "No, no, I just asked casually. I just felt that my aunt was very nice, so I asked."
Lin Yu listened to Su Qingxue's lame excuse and said nothing more.
After Su Qingxue adjusted her condition, she stood up and pointed at the abandoned Taoist temple, and said to Lin Yu, "I want to go inside and have a look."
Lin Yu nodded. He also wanted to go in and take a look to see if he could find any traces of the old Taoist priest.
When he was a child, he didn't think it was anything, but after entering society, Lin Yu realized that the old Taoist priests had taught them too many things.
The two of them walked into the Taoist temple together, and saw overgrown weeds inside. It was obvious that there had been no human habitation for a long time.
Lin Yu first came to the statue of the Sanqing Patriarch enshrined in the Taoist temple, cleaned the surrounding area, and then began to pray devoutly.
When Lin Yu accepted the inheritance, Lin Yu began to believe in these gods who had previously thought they were illusory. As the old saying goes, if you believe it, you will have it, if you don't believe it, you will have nothing. When Lin Yu saw the truth, he naturally became more and more awed.
Su Qingxue looked at Lin Yu, then came to pray at the sculpture of the Patriarch of the Sanqing Dynasty, and remained silent for a long time.
After praying, Lin Yu looked around. He had come in a few times when he was a child. At that time, he was not interested in the solemn sculptures inside, and he never came in again.
Looking at these familiar and unfamiliar scenes, but not seeing the people who believed in them back then, I can't help but feel a little emotional.
After walking around in circles, Lin Yu came to the room where the old Taoist priest lived. The poor room was covered with dust and contained only a wooden bed and a wooden table.
Suddenly, Lin Yu found a book on the table. Lin Yu stepped forward to pick up the book, dusted it lightly, and began to read.
It turns out this is a diary, signed by Li Yuantong.
"The master said that he and his brothers were going down the mountain to deal with some matters, and asked me to guard the Taoist temple alone. I asked the master when he would come back, and the master said he would come back in the prosperous times! Xin Si Nian."
"Eight years have passed, and the master still hasn't come back! But I seem to understand what the master said back then. Ji Chou Nian"
"It has been fifteen years, and the master still hasn't come back. Although I know that the masters will never come back, I can't leave. As long as I am here, the inheritance of incense will continue! Bingshen Year"
"I met some interesting little guys today. They look so good and energetic! Year of Yihai!"
Lin Yu read through the diary one by one, and the notes on it were changing little by little from the youthful ones at the beginning to the vigorous ones later on.
On the last page, Lin Yu saw the following sentence: In the prosperous times, Buddhism flourished all over the country, and Taoists hid alone in the mountains. In troubled times, the Bodhisattva did not care about things, and the old man carried his sword to save the vicissitudes of life.
After reading it, Lin Yu seemed to have entered a no-man's land. Watching Channel Master Li Yuan grow from a child to his return home in the evening, it was as if he had experienced it himself, and the spiritual power in his body also increased without Lin Yu noticing.
"What a Taoist who came down from the mountain to survive the troubled times in troubled times," Lin Yu sighed, finally understanding why his mother believed in Taoism but not Buddhism.
I packed up the old Taoist priest's diary and kept it on my body. I don't think Taoist Master Li would be angry, so just think of it as a souvenir left by Taoist priest Li for us descendants!
After putting away the diary, Lin Yu was ready to go shopping, but Su Qingxue found Lin Yu and said, "Lin Yu, my aunt called and asked us to go back for dinner!"
?
Lin Yu checked his cell phone and found two missed calls from his mother. When he looked at the time, he realized that he had been in this room for more than half an hour. He quickly dusted himself off and left the Taoist temple with Su Qingxue.
Get ready to go home.
Standing at the mountain pass, Lin Yu turned around and bowed to the Taoist temple again. From Taoist Master Li's notes, he learned a lot more.
Going down the mountain was very easy, Su Qingxue no longer had the dilemma of going up the mountain, and the two of them returned home soon.
After arriving home, he found that his mother had already prepared the meal and was waiting for him. The two of them hurriedly sat down and started eating.
At the dinner table, Mother Lin said: "Have you heard? The old man's daughter was kicked out of the house by the old man. It's a strange thing. Everyone knows that the old man dotes on this daughter the most."
Lin Yu didn't find it strange. What he whispered into the old man's ear at that time was that toxins enter the body through alcohol.
The old man had not drank for many years. On his birthday, he only had a glass of wine from his most beloved daughter, and he drank it himself.
Su Qingxue also became interested in gossip and asked quickly: "Auntie, tell me!"
Then, Mother Lin began to tell the news she heard when she went for a walk today.
"I heard that it was the old man's daughter who poisoned the old man. It seemed that the old man was interested in a piece of land outside, but the old man refused to sell it. Then the man found the old man's daughter, and the two planned this.
thing."
"I just don't know who this person is who wants to buy land, and there is no news about it." After finishing speaking, Lin's mother added.
After hearing this, Lin Yu also began to think deeply, and thoughts flashed through his mind.
After finishing the meal, Lin Yu got up and packed the tableware, while Su Qingxue followed Lin Yu's words and prepared the medicinal materials that Lin's mother would use tonight.
Lin Yu is going to give his mother one last acupuncture tonight, and then he will start taking medicine.
...
In the evening, Lin Yu started treating his mother again. When he mobilized his spiritual power for acupuncture, Lin Yu found that his spiritual power had increased significantly, which made Lin Yu a little confused.
But this is also a good thing. It can also speed up the mother's treatment and reduce the mother's medication, which is the best of both worlds. After all, taking too much medication is not good.
After treating his mother, Lin Yu immediately made some medicine for his mother to take.
After checking the mother's pulse, it can be seen that the mother's internal condition is very good. After taking a few more medicines, all the diseases that the mother has accumulated for so many years can be eradicated.
The treatment for his mother this time was much shorter than Lin Yu expected at the time.
After taking the medicine, Lin Yu sent his mother back to the room to sleep well, while he went back to the room to make a bed on the floor, or let Su Qingxue sleep on the bed.
In the middle of the night, in the haze, Lin Yu suddenly heard a cry!
