In just over two months, in less than three months, all the thirty copper noses that Xiao Xia had worked hard to save were gone. Although Xiao Jiu had foresaw all this, the fact was that he had given birth faster than he expected.
These thirty copper noses were given in three times. From the perspective of his uncle, he got the copper nose twice in the second time, which was actually easier than once. Because he already knew what to do and what he could get. This so-called familiarity, and his habits were a summary of factual experience. For people like his uncle, this was also "simple" and "simple" in a sense.
There is no need to say much about the process of taking out ten copper noses for the first time. When I took them the second time, Xiao Xia thought that this time it should be over. By the time I took them for the third time, Xiao Xia almost collapsed. The truth told her parents that there was no savings in their hands, and this time it was really gone. His uncle went to her house to ask for something even more, and his mother also secretly came to find Xiao Xia in another courtyard.
Xiao Jiu saw this scene again and again, and vaguely understood what the gentleman said. Xiao Xia's thirty copper noses were gone, and the cycle of reincarnation of this matter was temporarily over, but it was still in the greater cycle of reincarnation in the world.
Tailuo knew these things and was very angry. He wanted to drive Xiaoxia's mother away and prevent her from entering the door, but Xiaojiu was secretly stopped. Anyway, his mother looked for Xiaoxia, but Xiaoxia couldn't take out her copper nose. Just look for it. It should be quiet even if she didn't stop.
Xiaojiu just asked Tai Luo to comfort Xiao Xia more on weekdays. Anyway, Tai Luo knew about this. Tai Luo gave Xiao Xia an idea, or helped Xiao Xia give her parents an idea to avoid her uncle from disturbing him again? Tai Luo asked Xiao Xia's parents to take the initiative to go over before his uncle came to ask for money again next time and asked her uncle for only one thing to pay back the money!
It is said that there is an urgent need at home, such as buying land, buying cattle, repairing houses, or Xiao Xia is about to marry and get a dowry, urging his uncle and aunt to repay the money as soon as possible. Thirty copper noses have been lent, which is different from other fragmentary goods, but the amount is very clear and large.
In the past, Xiao Xia's uncle was all Xiao Xia's uncle. My aunt ran to Xiao Xia's parents to ask for money. Now she did the opposite and asked Xiao Xia's parents to go to his uncle's house to ask for money under the pretext of being urgent. It cannot be said that she wanted money, but just asked the other party to pay back the money.
When Xiao Xia heard this plan, she subconsciously said, "How is this possible! The money is in my uncle's hands, so don't think about getting it back."
Tailuo shook his head and said, "I didn't expect you to get the money back. But in this way, your uncle will not go to your parents to cause trouble, or even avoid it from afar. In the past, he took away a few liters of valley and a few feet of cloth head every time he took away. But this time it was different. The account of thirty copper noses was very clear. If you know it, you can go and ask for it. It is best to ask for it once, so that you can not be disturbed, and even the person will not come to the door again."
Xiao Xia raised his eyes hesitantly and said, "If this is the case, isn't it even impossible for relatives to do?... And will it be discussed by neighbors? I value money too much and even ignore relatives?"
Xiaojiu could hear the words of too much and in the yard. It was not that their voice was too loud, but that Xiaojiu had been very sharp since childhood, especially in recent times, his perceptions have become more and more acute.
When Xiaoxia heard this, Xiaojiu was almost choked. What was Xiaoxia borrowing money for the first time? It was definitely not just to borrow money. Didn’t the purpose just to make her uncle stop disturbing her? Now she has no money to borrow, and she can achieve the same goal if she asks her parents to collect debts. Why do she still have to wonder, does she like to deal with such relatives?
Tai Luo asked back, "Being a relative? You can't do anything for granted, and you're thinking about doing anything else?" Then he changed his tone and comforted him in a low voice, "You can tell your parents about this method first, and they need not say it anymore. If they still can't bear it in the future, then you might as well give it a try."
Tailuo walked out of the house and happened to see Xiaojiu in the yard. He did not hide anything from the young master and said what happened just now. Xiaojiu raised his thumb and said, "Uncle Tailuo, it's still your experienced master. This idea is good!"
Tailuo looked a little shy and a little proud, and he chuckled, "After all, I've lived for so many years!"
...
When Tailuo gave Xiao Xia an idea, Huwa and Ziqiu in the distant mountains of course "see" them. Ziqiu said thoughtfully: "The idea that this manager came up with was against tit and did whatever he wanted. If there was no education, the people would not know etiquette. However, where did the education come from and where did you know what to do?
If you are ignorant of what you do is right or wrong, and have virtue but not virtue? You can think carefully about what you do to others and whether you will accept what you want? The sages observe all worldly affairs and teach them; the world keeps them to you, and this is a ritual."
This is the minimalist meaning of Ziqiu's so-called "ritual", that is, what should be done and what should not be done? This experience is obtained from social life itself, and then summarized and refined into education, so that there are various etiquettes, etiquettes, etiquettes, etc., and the codes of conduct and moral norms advocated by every era and every region.
Is Xiaoxia's uncle willing to have a relative like him? Of course, if he doesn't want to, then don't be such a relative!
Huwa nodded slightly and said, "The way is simple, hard to say, the difficulty lies in its roots... Your insight is actually the way to practice the incarnation of the Nine-level Yang God, and the way to achieve the Emperor of Heaven."
Sometimes it is the most difficult to express complex concepts in a simple way, because this is close to returning to the origin of things. The next sentence of Huwa is talking about practice.
After practicing the incarnation of the Nine Realms of Yang God, after being able to break through the state of reincarnation of life and death, in theory, it can kill countless incarnations, just like sentient beings in the world. This is a question of how to get along with yourself. Seeing sentient beings is like seeing me, seeing me is like seeing sentient beings, and then you can truly escape from the cycle of reincarnation.
If you talk about how to get along with yourself, the Emperor of Heaven opened up the divine land in the imperial country, it is the ultimate self-realization, and even reached the end of the realm. So what after this end? It is the realm that Cangjie wants to prove under the guidance of Huwa. The way of the great way is not because Ziqiu Ming does not understand, nor does Xiaoxia’s uncle does not understand.
Ziqiu bowed to Huwa sideways and said, "Sir, I am my teacher."
Huwa asked, "You have seen something. Do you want to go to Kunlun Fairyland to find your master?"
Ziqiu: "I still want to be in this world. The great way does not require Ziqiu or Xia, but people have their own needs."
...
Although he had foreseeed it and knew that dissuasion was useless, when Xiao Xia really lent all thirty copper noses, Xiao Jiu was still quite angry. This kind of anger might be just a child's anger. At first, he didn't know how to say that Xiao Xia was good, but gradually he stopped being angry. This is the world, and it always comes back and forth.
If you go to such things, and experience them for enough time, you will always see a lot. If you are always upset about such things, your mood will inevitably be chaotic, but there is definitely not only one thing in life, some are happy and some are unhappy.
Over the past period of time, in addition to thinking about Xiao Xia’s affairs, Xiao Jiu was actually very excited and happy. He had a big secret, which was that he often saw Niu Er’s white hair, and the next day he went to the mountain to listen to the teacher’s story.
Huwa tells the story of Cangjie, and there is no sentence to mention the specific cultivation. The story starts directly after Cangjie becomes a true immortal. There is an immortal family who has stepped through the Jianmu Jiuzhi World of the Nine Heavenly Immortal Realm, and then enters the divine lands of the imperial towns. They visit the heavenly emperors from ancient times to the present, and travel in the boundless mysterious ways and the world...
Not to mention Xiaojiu, even Qingniu listened with relish. The Nine-level Heavenly Immortal Realm, Shennongyuan Immortal Realm, Kunlun Immortal Realm, Yaochi Immortal Realm, and Beiming Immortal Realm, have what kind of immortals live in it. This is almost impossible for mortals to hear, but through Cangjie's experience, you can understand it.
Huwa tells all the things he knows and witnesses. Cangjie has many stories. For example, "selling pots on the street" in Zhijiang City back then was very interesting, and it also runs through the changes in China and the cycle of worldly affairs. Of course, Huwa himself appears in Cangjie's story, but Huwa did not break the point of Xiaojiu.
In more than two months, Xiaojiu met Huwa more than 20 times. The day after Tailuo gave Xiaoxia "an idea", Xiaojiu came to the mountain to see Huwa, but Huwa told him that Cangjie's story had been told. Xiaojiu was still unsatisfied and said, "Why did he finish it? He must have something else!"
Huwa smiled and said, "Of course there are other things. No one's story can be told. I will only tell you this place today. You think Mr. Cangjie is very interesting, but in the story he is not an ordinary person, but travels in the heaven and earth. Listening to such stories, even though I yearn for it, mortals do not have the ability of immortals. What do you think after hearing so much?"
Xiaojiu seized the opportunity and asked the most critical question: "People should know how to make a living, and they should know why this life is. I want to know how he became such a person?"
Huwa smiled and said, "I have never witnessed this, but I can tell you the story of another person. This person's name is Huwa, and he also mentioned it in Mr. Cangjie's experience. His story should start from the Northern Wilderness of Bayuan. At that time, he was younger than you and was also a mortal with no cultivation."
Xiaojiu: "Will you tell me today?"
Huwa shook his head and said, "It's not time yet."
Xiaojiu: "Which day will you have to wait?"
Huwa asked suddenly, "Xiao Xia's thirty copper noses are gone, are they?"
Xiaojiu, who was in high spirits, seemed to have been poured with cold water, and said depressedly: "I've said it a long time ago!"
Huwa: "How do you feel?"
Xiaojiu: "It's upset!"
Huwa: "So next, I will tell you about human affairs. Your natural blessings are so good, but in this cycle of reincarnation, have you ever noticed that your state of mind is gradually getting contaminated, like a mirror covering the dust?"
Xiao Jiu is born extraordinary, and both qualifications and insights are extraordinary. But on the other hand, when a child comes to the world, he has a clear state of mind, but the longer he experiences in the world, the more he is inadvertently contaminated. This is the norm in reincarnation. In fact, Xiao Xia’s experience is a trivial matter that is so common that it is so common in the world. It will always be born by your side and let people experience it.
If you think about these things all day long, but you can't jump out, and your mood only follows the world, it is often difficult to return to peace. Of course, Xiao Xia's affairs cannot be disconnected from Xiao Jiusheng, and it cannot have an impact on Xiao Jiu. But the problem with Hu Wa is, after Xiao Jiu experienced these things, will his mood become more purified or more turbid?
Xiaojiu was stunned for a moment. Before Huwa could wait for his answer, he continued to speak: "The chaos can be seen in the samsara, and the purity of chaos will be returned to the first realm. If what you see in the chaotic is just dirty and cannot return to the brightness of the mind, you will not be able to cultivate."
Qingniu subconsciously raised his head when he heard this. Of course, the master spoke with the inexplicable immortal spirit. At this moment, it seemed that the seal of the mind was left in various ways to break through the first realm and be able to practice. The master did not clearly point out which one should be. If Xiaojiu had insights, it would be possible.
Xiaojiu said goodbye to his husband and returned to the villa. The next day, he broke through the third level of cultivation.8
