A young Taoist priest left his Taoist temple and headed north. Along the way, he walked in a low-key manner. Not only did he take off the brand-new Taoist robe that he had just put on recently, he even did not wear the dark red Taoist robe that he originally liked. Instead, he just
He wore the gray robe of an ordinary Taoist and had his hair tied in the most ordinary bun. If it weren't for the fact that his face was much prettier than that of an ordinary Taoist, I'm afraid no one would pay much attention to this young Taoist.
After the young Taoist left the Taoist temple, he first went to a ferry, where he took a ferry to go north. On the ferry, he stood quietly at the stern of the ferry, not talking to anyone, but just watching the boatman fishing along the river, and a net of big fish was caught.
Later, the young Taoist took a fancy to one of the carps, which was not fat but had a dark red tail, and he wanted to buy the fish.
Seeing that the young Taoist priest was talkative and good-tempered, the boatman didn't take any money from him and just gave the fish away with a smile.
After thanking the young Taoist, he accepted the fish without any pretense and borrowed a wooden basin from the boatman. There was clear water in the basin, and he watched the carp swimming in it.
Afterwards, along the way, the young Taoist stared at the carp intently, not talking nonsense. The next night, the weather suddenly turned bad, thunderstorms came at any time, and everyone on the boat hid in the cabin, except for the young Taoist in front of him.
, sitting cross-legged on the ground, unmoved.
After a heavy rain overnight, the boatman discovered the young Taoist who was soaked to the skin, so he kindly brought his clean clothes, but he was still politely refused.
The young Taoist priest just wore wet Taoist robes and quietly watched the fish swimming in front of him.
When the ferry stopped at the ferry, the young Taoist stood up, released the carp in the basin back into the river, returned the wooden basin to the boatman, and then left.
After leaving the ferry, the young Taoist continued to go north, and then entered a small town in Xinliuzhou. There was a Taoist temple here. The Taoist temple was very small, with only two Taoists, one big and one small. The old Taoist priest was accompanied by a little Taoist priest who was obviously still a teenager.
The young Taoist came to the Taoist temple and found that the Taoist temple was actually not very popular. He frowned slightly, but the old Taoist quickly came out and said with a smile, "We are fellow Taoists!" .??.
The old Taoist in front of me is not a monk, but an ordinary Taoist. He doesn't know the so-called Tao of Immortality and the Tao of Peace. He just sees that he is also a Taoist, so he feels more friendly.
The young Taoist nodded and said with a smile, "I have met the old Taoist."
"Looking at each other, where did fellow Taoist come from?"
The old Taoist priest waved to the young Taoist priest in the distance to come over, "Quick, quick, come and see this Taoist brother."
The young Taoist priest was quite obedient. After he came over, he slapped his head seriously, and then said a little embarrassedly, "Master, I have to go wash rice and cook."
The old Taoist priest nodded and said, "Put more rice today, and this Taoist brother will also stay for a meal."
"Thank you very much."
The young Taoist didn't refuse, he just smiled.
The old Taoist priest was in a good mood. Although he didn't know which Taoist temple the young Taoist priest in front of him came from, he felt comfortable just listening to his conversation. Since he felt comfortable and happy, it didn't matter which Taoist temple the young Taoist priest came from.
Worth mentioning.
It doesn't matter if you come from a humble background or not.
However, after the conversation, the old Taoist couldn't help but ask where the young Taoist came from. The young Taoist didn't hide anything, and said with a straightforward smile, "The trail comes from Qingshan Prefecture."
"But Qingshan Prefecture where the Chixin Temple is located?"
The old Taoist clicked his tongue and said, "I have always wanted to see the Chixin Temple. But when I was young, I couldn't leave. When I got old, I lost my legs and feet, so I had no choice but to stop going. But I heard that there are many classics hidden in the Chixin Temple."
, there are many Taoist classics in it, it’s a pity that I can’t take a look at them all.”
The young Taoist smiled and nodded without saying anything.
The old Taoist priest quickly shook his head and said, "Actually, even if you go, you may not be interested in it. Ordinary people can just go in wherever they say. It's just wishful thinking of a poor Taoist."
The young Taoist thought for a while and took the initiative to say, "Xiao Dao knows some people over there. If the old Taoist really has such an idea, Xiao Dao can help."
The old Taoist priest was startled, but then he waved his hand and said, "If I were more than ten years younger, I would still have some ideas, but at this age, I have seen through everything. It doesn't matter whether I go or not."
The young Taoist didn't seem to understand, so he asked, "Why?"
The old Taoist priest gave the young Taoist in front of him a strange look, and then said, "I heard that there are people in the Taoist sect who are cultivators. They are not cultivating their minds, but they are like mountain immortals. When I was young, I also yearned for it, but later I thought about it.
, in fact, it’s just that, it’s just about living more time, other than that, what’s so great about it?”
"Practice, cultivate your mind."
The young Taoist muttered two words with very similar pronunciations.
"Yes, cultivating the mind is the most important thing, and practice is secondary. I feel that living a long life is of little significance anyway."
The old Taoist priest smiled slightly, stared at the young Taoist in front of him, thought for a while, and said a few words that touched his heart, "If you don't do the right things, living a long life is actually meaningless, right?"
"Then how do you distinguish right from wrong?"
The young Taoist priest is like a child studying, and he has no intention of letting go of the old Taoist priest in front of him.
The old Taoist priest said, "I can't tell clearly, but it's just based on my mind." .??.
"The heart is fixed on good and evil, and it also distinguishes between right and wrong. Don't kill unprovoked people, don't do unprovoked things, and don't kill people if you can. There is a saying among scholars called repaying evil with kindness. I think it's quite right."
The young Taoist thought for a moment and said nothing.
The old Taoist priest said with emotion, "It's like two people walking on the road without any disagreement. You can't just punch someone for no reason because of your own thoughts, right?"
Seeing that after saying this, the young Taoist still didn't say anything, the old Taoist felt a little guilty and added, "These are the words of a poor Taoist family, don't believe it, don't believe it!"
The young Taoist finally came back to his senses and was about to speak when the young Taoist over there had already called them to eat. The old Taoist took advantage of the situation and stood up, smiling and inviting the young Taoist to have dinner.
The young Taoist did not refuse and followed the old Taoist to get up.
After the meal, the young Taoist said goodbye to the old Taoist priest at the door. The old Taoist priest bowed his head and said nothing more.
The young Taoist left after saluting. The young Taoist looked at the young Taoist's back and asked curiously, "Master, what did you say?"
The old Taoist priest shook his head and said softly, "Just a casual chat, but it seems like he is thinking about something important."
young Taoist priest
He wondered, "He is still so young, what important things can he think about?"
The old Taoist priest raised his eyebrows and reprimanded, "You don't understand. Age can't be used to make conclusions about things in the world. You must know that there is a saying that the future is formidable. If you think like this, you are not a Taoist!"
The young Taoist priest did not dare to contradict his master, so he just muttered, "Then when can I enter Taoism?"
…
…
After the young Taoist monk left the Taoist temple and walked some distance, he realized that he had not remembered the name of the Taoist temple. But after thinking about it, he suddenly felt that it was not really important.
He left the town and didn't go far. He looked at a stone bridge in front of him. There was a stream flowing slowly under the stone bridge. The young Taoist thought for a while and stopped in front of a stream because he happened to see a person.
Young people wash clothes by the stream.
That black shirt, which was as black as ink, was put into the water, but it made the creek glow red.
The young Taoist stood on the stone bridge and looked at the young man doing laundry.
The latter suddenly raised his head, looked towards Shiqiao, and then cursed angrily, "Yun Jianyue, are you here to kill me too?!"
It turned out that this young Taoist was none other than the young master of Chixin Temple.
Yun Jianyue shook her head and said, "I was originally going to Wantian Palace."
The young man frowned and said, "Seek the distance instead of the near?"
Wantian Palace should not go this way, at least it should not enter the territory of New Liuzhou.
Yun Jianyue did not hide it, she said bluntly, "I heard that many people want to kill you, so I came to see if you will die."
The young man cursed, "I've killed several Taoist monks, but you can't fucking take care of me?"
Yun Jianyue said, "It's not easy to manage."
The young man shook his head in pain, what the hell are you talking about?
Yun Jianyue looked at him and smiled and said, "Since you are still alive, that's fine."
The young man was surprised and said, "Why did you come so far just to see if I'm still alive?"
Yun Jianyue nodded and said, "Yes, I am a little afraid that you will die. If you die like this, it would be meaningless."
