Some people have thousands of golden scrolls, and some people see the true self in one bite.
"Presumptuous." Cai Duan spoke softly without any sign of anger. But to the people in front of them, it was like thunder hitting their ears. They were all shaken back in an instant. They were unconvinced and powerless. They could only look shocked and angry.
Staring at the two people in front of him.
"Not convinced? What are you so dissatisfied with?"
Someone in the crowd was ignited by this sentence. He completely ignored it, angrily shook off the pull of others, and stepped forward from the crowd.
"We all came up to the mountain after passing the test. Now that we have arrived at the mountain gate, you ask for something! What's the point? Just because we don't have any gifts or money for you, all our previous efforts will be in vain.
?"
"People who practice Taoism are supposed to be detached from the secular world and help those who are suffering. However, you have selfish motives and are greedy for gold and silver. Is this the Taoism you cultivate?!"
Wei Yanghuai stood tall and straight with an easy-going look on his face. He did not interrupt him and let him roar and question him. He did not reply until he finished speaking.
"You did pass the test, yes, but who told you that this is not part of the test?"
"You still dare to talk shamelessly about others. You must remember that no matter whether you can enter the Song Sect or not, or whether you can still practice, there is one problem. You should not mess around. That is, you are living for yourself.
It’s also for my own sake.”
"You are you, I am me, and he is him. The Tao is impermanent, so don't talk about it lightly."
The person who stood up was shocked by Cai Duan's words and clenched his fists, but he could not refute. "I am by no means the worst in the exam. Is it because of this reason that I will lose?"
"
Cai Duan looked at the crowd, his face still calm, and said aloud: "I'm sorry I didn't make it clear just now. I'll say it again. If you are eliminated, it's not because you are inferior to others. Don't belittle yourself. It's just that everything is different.
Pay attention to the word "fate", which means we gather together when fate arises and disperse when fate falls. You just have no fate with my sect. Don't be too entangled. Go down the mountain quickly and look for a future."
As soon as these words came out, everyone softened and gradually became quiet. After a while, the crowd began to split up, and some of them went down the mountain. They could accept it calmly.
When Wei and Cai saw each other, they looked at each other with some emotion. "They are all poor children. Let's go find a future as soon as possible."
The young man standing in front of the crowd exhaled, relaxed and calmed down. He looked at the two people in front of him, clasped his fists and nodded without any ink, turned around and walked towards the back of the crowd. He was fine.
There is no point in staying.
At the corner, there was another person there. He didn't move, but his eyes were very uneasy and extremely panicked. Tian Zhen stood in the crowd and looked at the smiles on the faces of the people around him. He felt very strange. He held tightly
Holding the corners of his clothes, he looked out of place with his surroundings.
Some people in the crowd began to come forward and took out the things they had brought. Some were just small gold nuggets, some were thin-rimmed silver rings, and some looked like earrings. Anyway, they were just leftovers, not wealthy or wealthy.
s things.
There was a copper furnace in front of Wei and Cai. Everyone came forward and put the things in their hands into the furnace, and then they could move on and truly become disciples of Song Zong.
As people walked forward one by one, the crowd gradually became thinner, and the panic in Tian Zhen's eyes became more intense. He had no personnel, but he did not go down the mountain either.
That day at the street corner, a woman stumbled towards him, holding a few steamed buns in her arms. Her eyes were filled with tenderness and hope. She swung her arms without saying a word. She just whispered apologetically: "It's all because of my incompetence.
I am so sorry."
"Hey! What are you doing?" Cai Duan saw that there was no one in the open space, but there was still a kid hiding in the corner in a daze, and he shouted with a chuckle.
"Mom, you're not sorry for me." He wanted to say this at the time, but he didn't say it because he felt it was too pretentious.
When Cai Duan called him, Tian Zhen came back to his senses, touched his bulging luggage, and walked straight ahead. Wei Yanghuai and Cai Duan also saw Tian Zhen's bag, looked at each other and smiled.
"There's another big guy..."
Tian Zhen came forward and poured the contents of the bag into it under the two people's close gazes. When the two saw it, they were speechless for a moment.
It turned out to be a few yellowed steamed buns!
The two looked at each other again in confusion, curling their lips as if they were joking and disappointed. "He's not a big guy, that's interesting."
After Tian Zhen finished, he lowered his head. He didn't know what the result would be, but he didn't want to see the disappointed look in the woman's eyes, nor did he want to see her smiling in apology after being bullied all her life.
He wants his mother to live a good life.
"What are you doing standing still? Why don't you leave quickly?" Cai Duan looked at the motionless boy with his head lowered in front of him and spoke loudly. Tian Zhen was helpless. He wanted to say something more, but his throat was very tight.
He was speechless, and his heart was filled with shame and sorrow. The young man slowly moved over and touched his face.
"Where are you going? In the back." Cai Duan seemed helpless.
When Tian Zhen heard this, he turned around suddenly, as if he couldn't believe it. Wei Cai and Wei Cai's eyes wandered, not looking at the young man's face, preserving the child's dignity.
After Cai Duan waved his hand back casually, he and Wei Yanghuai stretched their necks. It wasn't until Tian Zhen disappeared behind him that he said to his side: "No one said that steamed buns are not human affairs, right?
"Wei Yanghuai thought about it seriously. "It's true that no one has said that."
"That's it, it's over, go back to life." Looking at the empty place in front of him, he felt relieved and then said this.
In a place in the mountains, Zhou Yeqing was panting and looking at Daowang Peak, which was just around the corner. He looked helpless because he couldn't go up.
Ever since the bells rang, it was impossible to climb Daowang Peak again. Zhou Yeqing felt like he was chasing the mountain through the thick fog. He was clearly right in front of him, but he could never reach it. He was always one step away.
remote.
Fog gradually formed in front of him, trying to cover the peak. Zhou Yeqing looked down, but there was still a warm sunshine. He knew in his heart that the Song Sect had passed the assessment day and was sending away outsiders.
"That damn old man said he wouldn't treat me badly. It's better to cross the river and burn the bridge without even closing the door!"
Zhou Yeqing was full of will-o'-the-wisps when he thought about his previous arrival. "You're such a bullshit good person, but now you have to eat and sleep in the open. You even have to pay for your clothes." Looking at his naked body, he really regretted trying to be such a good person.
The fog above his head was getting thicker and thicker, as if it was going to rain. Zhou Yeqing found some grass blades, made a haphazard grass skirt and hung it around his waist.
