In Nanli's surprise and Da Zhuang's envy, I politely declined Nanli's proposal to buy this rough stone for 400,000 yuan. Because this is the first piece of jadeite I bet on, the commemorative significance far exceeds the economic value. This is the spoils of my ability. But I accepted Nanli's suggestion to carve the rough stone into a finished product, and asked her to help me find a good carver, after all, as the saying goes, "If you don't cut jade, you won't make it." ”

Autumn in the capital feels very comfortable, the sun is shining, and the autumn breeze is cool. Walking out of the antique city, the warm sun shines on the face, the gentle breeze, and the fresh air make me feel refreshed. I admit that when I was a child, I still had some low self-esteem, and many of them were inferior to others, especially the experience of the plague made me feel that I was a miserable person. But after gambling on the stone today, I learned more and more about my own abilities, and I felt that my self was a little inflated, and I felt that I was the great creator!

While I was immersed in self-absorption, Da Zhuang and I paced up, ready to ride his motorcycle home.

"Damn, what a smell!" Da Zhuang scolded angrily.

I lifted my nose and sniffed it, and the stench of the wind made me gause.

When I looked up, I saw an unkempt beggar leaning against Da Zhuang's beloved motorcycle.

This is enough to choke Da Zhuang, "Stinky food, don't touch my car!" Discrimination and anger were exported to the beggar, and Da Zhuang bared his arms to hold grapefruit, and he had the urge to beat him.

"Big Strong. I hurriedly shouted and grabbed his arm, afraid that he would cause trouble, this guy has been impulsive since he was a child, and fights are commonplace.

Listening to Da Zhuang's warning, the beggar looked up at us, but he was unmoved, and did not dodge.

This made Da Zhuang even more angry, the Da Zhuang arm I was holding instantly became stiff, obviously the muscles were tensed, and now Da Zhuang is like an aggressive rooster.

This scene made my heart tighten, and I felt like I was being looked at by a wolf.

I frowned and looked around. When I looked at the beggar, I felt palpitations.

This beggar, with dirty long hair, dirty coat, dirty shirtless, dirty shorts, is a normal beggar, looks like he is in his fifties, and he is very depressed. It's just that his eyes, which are bright and sharp, are as sharp as a falcon, and when I look at him, I have a sense of fear that I am naked and exposed to the public.

There is a cloud in the book: "People are God-oriented, and if there is a god, they will be developed, and if they are not godless, they will be rich, prosperous, and long-lived, and if they are declining, they will die of poverty." As for the God in the eyes, it is easy to guess, and those who are strong in seeing are said to be prosperous, those who are powerless in seeing are said to be weak, those who are fearful are called gods, and those who are slow are called gods, and this is easier to recognize. I conclude that this beggar is by no means simple.

When I was stunned, Da Zhuang had already rushed to the beggar with an arrow step, and raised his thick arm viciously, ready to pick up the beggar and teach him a good lesson.

I was just about to say something to stop it, when a miracle happened. The beggar maintained his lazy posture, and pinched the spout of Da Zhuang's right hand with only two fingers.

I was speechless and at a loss, my worries just now were completely opposite, and now I am only afraid that Da Zhuang will suffer a loss and be beaten. But I was even more determined to think that this beggar is not simple!

"Young people, the way of heaven, benefit but not harm; The way of the saint is indisputable. The beggar spoke slowly, not loud, but very powerful.

Da Zhuang nodded again and again like a chicken smashing rice, it seems that this time the bitterness is not good.

I was also shocked when I heard the beggar's words. The words of the beggar came from Lao Tzu, the founder of the Taoist school, let alone a beggar, ordinary people may not be able to know this! Since he has determined that this person is extraordinary, he naturally speaks very respectfully.

"Good is like water. Water is good for all things without fighting, and it is evil for everyone, so it is more than the Tao. Senior, you are a master of Taoism, since you have already subdued my friend, why not do nothing?"

Hearing my words, the beggar narrowed his eyes and began to look at me again, nodding slightly meaningfully, and slowly letting go of the power of his fingers.

Da Zhuang has been in the society for a few years, and naturally knows the truth of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and he also knows that this beggar is not something he can provoke, so he retreated behind me and rubbed his sore right arm.

The beggar continued to look at me, "What is inaction?"

I was very surprised, I didn't expect him to be interested in discussing Taoist scholarship with me, but I also arched my hand and replied: "The Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things; ”

"Providence, creation!" said the beggar, very satisfied with my answer.

I didn't understand, and I didn't know the reason for this, but as soon as I wanted to ask a question, the beggar quickly shook his head and waved his hand, and took the lead in speaking, as if my every move was under his control.

"The way of heaven is like a bow, the higher one suppresses it, the lower one lifts it, the surplus loses it, and the insufficient one makes up for it." The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more than is lost. The way of man, otherwise, the loss is not enough to give more than enough. Who can have more than enough to serve the world, only the Taoist. ”

I frowned again, I remember that this sentence is from Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching". It probably means that the law of nature is to reduce the excess to make up for the deficiency. The secular practice of human society is not the same, but rather the reduction of poverty in order to provide for the rich. Who can let more than enough to serve the world? Therefore, the saint does not rely on his own abilities when he has done something, he does not take pride in his achievements, and he does not want to show his virtue.

I was even more puzzled, was he telling me that the laws of nature were balanced, or was there inequality in human society, or was he telling me that I should not be proud of my own abilities?

Thinking of this, I broke out in a cold sweat. Could it be that he saw through my powers? I couldn't help but look at him with mixed feelings.

"The song is complete, the vain is straight, the depression is profitable, the new is new, the less is more, and the more is confused. The Tao is natural, or it is extremely Tailai. The beggar smiled knowingly.

Although I felt that I had been seen through, I felt relieved as if I had been empowered.

At this time, Da Zhuang knelt down in front of the beggar and begged the beggar to take him as an apprentice. This action startled me, and I was sure that this guy could not understand such an obscure language. The beggar was also full of doubts.

Da Zhuang hurriedly pulled my trouser legs, motioned for me to kneel down, and confused me, and was on the spot.

Da Zhuang stood up anxiously and whispered in my ear that what he just said was the "Nine Yin True Scripture"!

I almost vomited blood. Although Da Zhuang has not studied well since he was a child, Mr. Jin Yong's "Flying Snow Shoots White Deer in the Sky, and the Laughing Book Hero Leans on the Blue Mandarin" has been read hundreds of times. The supreme martial arts method in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was the beginning of his dream of martial arts since he was a child. I heard the opening sentence "The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more loss." "His level of excitement is comparable to that of a great drought and rain.

Although Da Zhuang's words just now, the voice was not very loud, but it still let the beggar hear it, and the expression on his face was so wonderful.
