At the beginning of November 1980, the entire fairy realm entered winter, which is the coldest in winter, with sub-zero degrees, generally 5 to 15 degrees, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large.

At this time, the maple leaves in the mountains begin to turn red, the ginkgo trees turn golden, and many evergreens are still dark green!

Because this winter was colder than before, Uncle Cailong was worried that Second Master Mo would be freezing in Mowei Village, so he called Caide's father to send the old man to the Mo's vegetable garden in Xianling County to live.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon one day, Mo Caide drove the family tractor to send the old man Mo Erye to Uncle Mo Cailong's house in the courtyard of the vegetable garden, and Hu'er drove a carriage to transport all of Mo Erye's belongings and treasures.

Uncle Cailong arranged his father to live alone in a suite next door to their house, because Second Master Mo likes to be quiet and meditate, and his daily life is irregular, and he is worried about affecting others. However, the daily life of the elderly, such as eating, is still taken care of by the Cai Longbo family.

Mo Erye is over seventy years old, but his body is still very tough, wearing a Taoist robe, long hair, hairpins on the top of his head, wearing cloth shoes, the whole costume character, but the spirit is very good!

After Mo Er Ye got out of the car, Cailong's father and Caide's father accompanied the old man to drink tea and chat over the fire in the living room of Cailongbo's house.

The little sister and aunt took Mo Xiaoqing, Mo Xiaohui and other girls to help the second master decorate the bedroom and room, and Mo Wenxian, Mo Wengang and Hu'er took a few hired workers to move the second master's belongings to his house and put them in his house.

Wen Xian smiled and said: "Alas, Hu'er! Our Mo family is only one of your grandchildren, and we like these magic weapons and spells of our grandfathers! Now the world is better! Dead people have become a rare thing, so my grandfather has fewer opportunities to make money by doing things! When he was rich in the past, he wanted him to live with us, but he absolutely didn't want to!"

Brother Wen Gang said: "Hu'er! I have to warn you! How old are you now? Do you know what? It is hard work to do things for others! In the past, I went out with my grandfather to help others do Dharma work, and I went there for days and nights! My grandfather took the broken wooden sword and took a few of his apprentices, jumping around day and night! He still recited many incantations that no one could understand! Alas, that kind of work is much harder than raising pigs, chickens, carrying water, and growing vegetables! I see, my grandfather is the one who made him. Otherwise, how would he do it?!"

Hu'er smiled and said: "Alas, thank you two elder brothers for reminding me! I'm not interested in practicing the master either! However, the ambitions, good deeds, and cultivation of the second old man, we juniors should not offend and slander them! No matter what we see, what we hear, or what we think, we can't change the truth and truth of this world! and where we belong in life!

Brother Wen Xian smiled and said: "Alas! Hu'er, your understanding is really high! You talk and do things, you are becoming more and more like my grandfather! Alas, the old man can't jump anymore! In the future, you can chat with him more! We can't talk to him anymore!"

Brother Wen Gang said: "Yes! Our names were all taken by my grandfather! However, he often called me Brother Wen Xian 'pig killer'!

Everyone laughed!

In this way, the second master lived in the courtyard of the vegetable garden, and from then on, Hu'er and Xiaohui had a teacher who understood the world and enlightened the Tao.

......

On January 18, 1981, Xiaohui's final exams at Xianling County Middle School ended, and the winter vacation was over, and tomorrow, his father will drive a tractor to pick her up and her younger brother Hu'er, and go back to his home in Mowei Village for the New Year.

That night, after the two of them had dinner, they went to the living room of the second master's room to roast the fire, drink tea and chat with him.

The second master smiled and said, "Xiaohui! Hu'er! In the future, without you two children chatting with me, I will feel very bored!"

Hu'er smiled and said, "Alas, Second Master, you can also talk to Cai Longbo and Brother Wen Xian! They are your relatives! They can respect your old man!"

The second master said: "Alas, they are all people who have no wisdom roots! They are trapped by interests, they live and kill all day long, and they earn ill-gotten gains!"

Xiao Hui smiled and said: "Second Master, you are too strict with them! Alas, can you live without earning money? If these beasts do have souls, aren't they doing this so that the beasts can be reincarnated as soon as possible and choose their fate in the next life again?!"

The second master said: "Alas! You are shallow! There are many things in this world, you can't see through at all! Relying on reincarnation and transfer, how easy is that? I have been paying attention to the Fa of this world, and now, some people have given up the cultivation of morality, so there are fewer and fewer people who can be reincarnated as human beings! Now, it is difficult to distinguish between real people and ghosts in this world! Many souls have no way to ascend to heaven and have no way to be reincarnated! Therefore, many souls cannot be reincarnated as human beings, and these souls can only stay in the world to enjoy fireworks! However, not all the families can afford to pay for incense! Most homeless souls can only become hungry ghosts and fierce ghosts, and they will harm the world! If these evil spirits are controlled and instigated by the devil, they will attach themselves to the living and drive away the souls of the living! Replace the good souls with evil spirits! In this way, the world will be in chaos! Will the world be better in the future?

Hu'er said: "Second Master! You are so right! I know that it is indeed difficult to ascend to heaven and become an immortal! However, I don't understand why it is so difficult to be reincarnated as a human being! According to the Heart Sutra, it is the emptiness of all laws, which is neither born nor destroyed, neither impure nor pure, and neither increased nor decreased! From this point of view, the soul has no beauty, ugliness, good or evil, and the soul is immortal, and it should not increase or decrease in quantity! According to the exposition of the "Soul Circulation Sutra" left by my grandfather, this infinite universe is divided into: the material world, the sentient world, the ruthless world, the enlightened world, and the true world. The world of freeness, the world of bliss, the world of eternal life, and the world of spiritual causes, which have been upgraded layer by layer! And people are in the human realm of the material world, and a part of their souls in the human realm have attained immortality and ascended to the sentient world! And the soul with Buddha nature has directly ascended to the higher level of the ruthless world, the enlightened world, and so on! From this, it can be inferred that there should be fewer and fewer souls in the human realm, so it should not be difficult to be reincarnated.

The second master smiled and said: "Alas! Hu'er really has a great understanding! The "Heart Sutra" and the "Circulation Sutra" are all right! The soul is originally pure, but the intuitive experience of people's eyes, nose, ears, tongue, body, mind, and other sensory organs, as well as the knowledge of color, sound, fragrance, taste, touch, and law, unconsciously affect people's souls, causing them to mutate and distort! In serious cases, the soul is demonized and demonized! Therefore, the immortal master and the Buddha set up a "reincarnation management station" in the reincarnation gate, that is, when Xiaohui was dying. The Archives record and comment on everyone's actions and practices! Those who can become immortals naturally become immortals, and those who can become Buddhas naturally become Buddhas! Souls with good karma can naturally be reincarnated! And how many people in the world today have good karma retribution? Therefore, many souls are left in the human realm, or receive incense offerings! Or fall into the human realm and become wandering souls! Or go to hell to atone for their sins! Or enter the underworld to be slaves and thugs for the demonic beasts! Going to hell and entering the underworld is much more painful than being in the human realm! Therefore, there will be more and more wandering souls in the human realm! When these wandering souls are hungry, they can only possess human beings and other living beings, and become dependent ghosts! They will even seize the host's body and drive away the souls of the period! Therefore, the lonely souls and wild ghosts left in the human realm will become more and more chaotic!"

Hu'er said, "Oh! Second Master! You say this, I understand! You say, can the soul of demons be purified?!"

The second master said: "It's very difficult! According to scientific appraisal, this material world has existed for about 20 billion years! And one year of the sentient world that set up the gate of reincarnation is equal to 60 years on earth! In this way, 330 million years have passed in heaven! For such a long time, the souls of the earthly Tao have still not been completely purified! You say, in the future, will they be able to be purified? Therefore, the Buddha called to convene enlightened beings and become bodhisattvas! Cultivate the Tao! Promote the Dharma! Save the lost souls as much as possible!"

Xiaohui said: "Alas, the time in this world is so long! Second Master! How many more reincarnations of life and death do we have to go through?!"

The second master said: "Alas! Yes! If we have the opportunity to see our own "Record Book of Reincarnation", according to the average reincarnation of once every 50 years, we have already been reincarnated 4 billion times in the human world! We have experienced countless tribulations in our past lives! All laws are one! Only by removing distracting thoughts, restoring peace in our nature, and cultivating good causes! Consolidating good roots! Bearing good fruits! Only in this way can we get rid of the cycle of birth and death, transcend life and death, gain eternal life, and reach the top of the Elysian World! In the spiritual cause world without the constraints of time and space, we will become free and peaceful spiritual light!"

Hu'er smiled and said, "Second Master! You have spoken so well! I feel that you will definitely be able to become an immortal and a Buddha! Become a free aura in our hearts!"

The second master smiled and said: "Thank you Hu'er Jiyan! Alas! The evil aura of this vegetable garden is too heavy! This environment is very unfavorable to my cultivation! This year, I am already seventy-two years old, and I can't afford to delay any longer! After you go back to your hometown for the Chinese New Year, I will leave here and go into the mountains to practice! Maybe in the future, you will never see me again! When the time comes, those bottles and cans of mine and the treasures, you can use them if you feel useful! In the future, when you miss me, burn incense!"

Xiaohui burst into tears and said, "Second Master, you are doing this too hard!"

The second master smiled and said, "Silly boy! It's hard to be a human being! You are still young, live well! Cultivate the enlightenment well! If we have a fate, we will definitely meet again!"

Hu'er and Xiaohui knew that the second master was going to break off his practice in this life, and they both hoped that the second master could become an immortal and a Buddha!

They talked late, and after the second master had to meditate and practice, Hu'er and Xiaohui returned to their house to rest.

......

At 9 o'clock in the morning of the second day, Caide's father drove a tractor to the yard of the vegetable garden to pick up Xiaohui and Hu'er to go home for the New Year!

Xiaohu and Xiaohui took their luggage, locked the door, jumped on the tractor and followed their dad home!

They didn't go to say goodbye to the second master, because they knew that the second master was still meditating and practicing in the room.

......

After their tractor got out of the vegetable garden and onto the road, they started chatting about the family.

Caide's father smiled and said, "Alas! Last month, your mother gave birth to a pair of younger siblings with dragon and phoenix fetuses! A few days ago, they just had a full moon! Now, your mother is already preparing lunch for you in the kitchen!"

Xiaohui smiled and said, "Alas, the days go by so fast! My younger brothers and sisters have come to this world! Dad, what are your names for them?"

Caide's father said, "My brother's name is Mo Wenlong, and my sister's name is Mo Xiaoying!

Hu'er smiled and said, "It's so good! In the future, I'll call them Ah Long and Ah Ying!"

Everyone laughed!

......

At 12 o'clock at noon, their tractor drove into the yard of their home in Mowei Village, and Han Dongmei's mother was waiting for them in the yard wearing a big cotton jacket and a bib.

After Xiaohui got off the tractor, she hugged her mother and cried!

Dongmei's mother smiled and said, "Alas, Xiaohui, don't cry! You have grown taller and more beautiful!"

Caide's father said, "Alas, take something into the house! It's too cold outside! Look at the weather, it may be snowing heavily!"

So, after parking the tractor, they moved all the luggage and belongings to the house.

After moving their things and washing their hands, the family ate around the fire!

Xiaohui smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, I feel that the house is much warmer than the school and vegetable garden room!"

Dongmei's mother said: "Alas! If you are in the city, there is no place to bake the fire, it must be cold! There has been no snow in this place for more than 10 years! If this snow can come down! After the beginning of spring, there will not be so many insects in the ground! This year's harvest of tea, rice, and fruits will certainly be good! In this way, in August and September this year, we will be able to set up our tea processing factory near the county seat, and in the future, our home will be settled in the factory, so that our family will be reunited again! It is indeed too hard for everyone to run back and forth!"

Caide's father said: "Alas! I didn't tell you about this! Last year, our family borrowed 50,000 yuan from the bank! This loan is interest-free for three years, and the principal will be repaid in 10 years, and the interest rate will be 4.5 percent after the fourth year! Therefore, we bought a piece of land near the county seat! Let the design institute help us design the factory building, staff dormitory, and our home! We also ordered the equipment in the factory! We will start building factories and houses during the Spring Festival! In August and September, the factory will be put into operation, and the houses can be occupied! After the Spring Festival, Hu'er no longer has to work in the vegetable garden! Come to our construction site to help me, Xiaohui also lives at the construction site, there is a canteen, and food and housing are not a problem! Our construction site is only more than 200 meters away from the school! Xiaohui is also very close to going to school!"

Hu'er smiled and said, "Oh! That's great! Dad! I've already taken the fifth grade in my elementary school exam! When will I take the junior high school entrance exam? I want to go to junior high school in the county!"

Caide's father said: "Hu'er! I told the principal of the village primary school about this, and he promised to let you take the county's junior high school entrance examination in June this year! During this time, Xiaohui helped Hu'er review his homework!"

Xiaohui said: "Okay! Hu'er has a good memory, and his comprehension and analysis skills are good! It shouldn't be a problem to be admitted to the county middle school! Dad! Mom! We have borrowed so much money, what should we do if we can't pay it back?"

Dongmei's mother said: "Alas, I will settle this matter with your father! As long as our tea factory, tea plantation, and farmland are well managed, we will be able to repay all the principal and interest in the fourth year! Therefore, in the future, you will have to help your family in your spare time! Now, in this world, people who don't want to work hard can only be poor for the rest of their lives!"

......

After eating, Xiaohui and Hu'er went to visit their little brother and little sister.

Their little brother and little sister have a nanny to help take care of them, this nanny was hired by their parents in the village at their expense, her name is Mo Sangu, the third aunt is a widow in her fifties, she has no children and no daughters! Hu'er and Xiaohui both know the third aunt, and the third aunt is a warm-hearted and kind good person!

The third aunt told them how to hold the child, and then, they chatted together.

The third aunt smiled and said, "Hui'er, do you think Xiaoying looks like you?"

Xiaohui smiled and said, "Third aunt, I really can't see that she looks like that?!"

Hu'er hugged Xiao Wenlong and said with a smile: "Alas, I feel that Ah Long does look like the child in my baby photo!"

Everyone laughed!

The children were amazed by their laughter!

The third aunt smiled and said, "Alas! You must be bumpy and tired from making that tractor! I'll take care of the children! You go to take a nap! From now on, my third aunt will be a member of your family! Look, it's snowing heavily!"

Xiaohui and the others looked out the window, and there was indeed goose feather snow outside! Gradually, the trees were covered with snowflakes, the yard and the hillside gradually turned white, and the river on the side of the mountain evaporated with curling white smoke!

......

On the morning of February 14, 1981, the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Xiaohui and her family's New Year were over, and Xiaohui and Hu'er were going to go to the county seat with their father Mo Caide to study and help the family.

After the three of them had eaten Dongmei's mother and made breakfast, they prepared to set off with their luggage.

Dongmei's mother said: "Xiaohui! Hu'er! When I arrived at the vegetable garden, I greeted the second master and Cai Longbo for me! Give them my gifts! You live in the city, you must listen to your father, study hard, and work hard to help the family do things! Don't think about those ghost things all day long! I haven't seen anyone who has become an immortal or a Buddha in my life for so long! Be a real person, don't think about unreliable things all day long! You know?!"

Hu'er smiled and said: "Mom! You said it well! We read those books of our grandfather just for fun! You take good care of your younger brothers and sisters at home! We must listen to our father's words, study hard, and do things seriously! In the future, we will be admitted to the top prize! Give our parents, our ancestors, and our ancestors glory!"

Dongmei's mother smiled and said, "That's pretty much it! You have to take the university exam! We'll hold a celebration banquet for you! Three days of artillery battles!"

Everyone laughed!

After Caide's father started the tractor in the yard, the two of them waited for the tractor with luggage and gifts, and the three of them left home like this and went to the county seat to study and start a business.

......

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the three of them arrived in a tractor, in the courtyard of Uncle Mo Cailong's vegetable garden.

Uncle Mo Cailong's family ran out of the house after hearing the roar of the tractor.

Several of them were wearing filial piety clothes for funerals, and Xiaohui and Xiaohu had a premonition that the second master might be gone!

After everyone hugged each other, they went to the living room of Cai Longbo's house to roast the fire, drink tea, and chat.

Caide's father said, "Brother Cailong, what's the matter with you?!"

Uncle Cailong said: "Oh! I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing?! This thing is too mysterious! On the evening of the 30th night of the Chinese New Year's Eve this year, after our family had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, my father Second Master Mo was going back to his residence to meditate and practice! Wen Xian and I sent him back, helped him warm his room, prepared warm cotton pads and quilts for meditation, etc., and after we were ready, Second Master let us leave! It was snowing heavily that night, it was very cold! We went to sleep when we got home!"

Brother Wen Xian said: "Alas, I'll come and talk about it! At 8 o'clock the next morning, I went to call the second master to come over for breakfast. I called a few times at the door of the second master, but there was no echo inside! I pushed the door in, and I saw that the second master was not in the room! So, I searched every place in the room, but I didn't see the second master! I only saw that in the second master's meditation place, I left a whole set of Tang clothes, shoes, and socks that he was wearing for meditation! I was frightened, and immediately ran home to report to my father!

Cai Longbo said: "Alas! This matter belongs to the disappearance of a human being! Therefore, I did not dare to slack off, and immediately notified the messenger and asked them to come and investigate the scene! Soon after, two old policemen came. After they asked me about the second master, they began to investigate the scene. After inspecting the scene, a messenger said that according to the results of the on-site investigation, there were no traces of walking or rock climbing in the doors and windows of the room, and there were no footprints of the second master on the snow outside the house! The messenger found that the meditation clothes, shoes, and socks were left on the meditation mat, and there were still the second master's hair and dead nails, and there was also a second master's Taoist hairpin! The messenger said that these were all left before the second master left! Judging from the position and shape of these items, the second master seemed to evaporate upwards when he left, and he would put his meditation clothes, shoes, and Socks and hairpins fell on the mat! Moreover, the messenger found that the air window on the roof had traces of being impacted by a strong air current! Therefore, the poor man made a preliminary judgment that the second master suddenly turned into a strong air flow during the meditation process and rushed out of the air window!

Brother Wen Xian said: "Alas! This matter is too mysterious! After the messenger left, two hired workers who lived in the pig farm opposite us told me that they saw a dazzling pillar of colorful light rising from the roof of the second master's house at about two o'clock that night! The pillar of light quickly flew into the sky! At this time, the whole sky was lit up! Later, several people also told us that they had also seen this phenomenon!

Caide's father said, "Brother Cailong, then, what are you going to do?"

Cai Longbo said: "Alas! The messenger said, this matter is too strange! They have already helped us send out a search notice! Let us also go to find someone! In the past few days, we have already asked all our relatives! Wen Xian and I also drove our family's farm car, and we searched all the ways within 50 kilometers of here, but we didn't see the second master! We plan to let the second master have a few Taoist friends after the fifteenth year, then he used things before his death, make him a well-dressed tomb, and offer him incense!"

Brother Wen Xian said: "Alas! When I had Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, I felt that something was wrong! The second master told me that in a few days he would go out to cultivate! He was going to leave some things for Hu'er and Xiaohui, and he put these things in a big wooden box, if he left, let me give that box to Xiaohu and Xiaohui! Wait, you will move that box away!"

In this way, after everyone finished talking about the matter, Hu'er and her father gave the gifts brought by the family to Cai Longbo and them, and Hu'er and Xiaohui moved the box left by the second master to their residence.

......

A few days later, Caide's father rented a house near the site where they built the factory and house, and after the three of them said goodbye to Cailongbo's family and settled the bill, they moved all the household belongings and other belongings of the courtyard house to their rented room.

This suite has two floors and has front and back yards, the yards are wide enough for parking and placing sundries. On the first floor there is a kitchen, living room, utility and handroom, and on the second floor there are four or five rooms, so there is enough for the family.

After the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, Caide's father went to Mowei Village to pick up Han Dongmei's mother, Mo Wenlong's younger brother, Mo Xiaoying's little sister, and Mo Sangu's nanny to their new home near the county seat.

This place is called Nahao Village, and the Zhuang people pronounce "paddy field" as "that."

a", white reads "haohai", this village means "white field village" in Zhuang language.

Since then, the family has been living in Nahao Village, and the old house in Mowei Village has been rented to hired workers who help them manage the tea plantation and farmland.

......
