Chapter 5 Li Jieyang

Because there were no extra guest rooms at home, my grandfather asked me to sleep with him and vacated my room for Shen Baifeng to sleep in, but Shen Baifeng asked me to go with him, and asked me if I wanted to know the story of Li Jieyang, how could I let go of any story when I was attracted by the mystery of Taoism, let alone the hero of Liu Village!

So, that night, Li Jieyang's experience became my bedtime story.

Shen Baifeng told me: Li Jieyang was also a "living bandit" when he was a child, always doing some things like stealing chickens and touching dogs, but they were all trivial, and no one went to his father and mother to expose his old background, but it was precisely because these little things did not let his parents discipline him well, Li Jieyang became more and more bold, until he was 11 years old and made a mistake, stealing other people's ancestral treasures, others came to the door to ask for it, he refused to admit it, and his father and mother asked and did not admit it, and the man started to beat him, and his father and mother did not believe that he stole it, so they quarreled with that person.

Later, things got bigger and bigger, and one night a large group of people came, telling his father and mother to hand over the baby, or hand over the child. His father and mother hid him, saying that he hadn't come back yet, and he would talk about it when he came back, and the person who took the lead was not happy when he heard it, so he picked up the guy and called Li Jieyang and his father, and the scene got out of control all of a sudden.

The story told by Shen Baifeng haunted me like a nightmare, reminding me of the scene when the group of people surrounded my house and wanted to force me to death.

Li Jieyang was stuffed into the cabinet by his father and mother that night, and he was not allowed to come out, so no one found him until the next day, when Li Jieyang, who was asleep, was found by the patrol police from the county seat. Only then did he know that his father and mother had been beaten to death.

The people who organized the group fight were taken away, and Li Jieyang became an orphan.

Although Li Jieyang has stolen other people's things since he was a child, he does not steal his own, because the family is poor, and his father and mother often come back with yellow mud, Li Jieyang knew that it was his own fault that killed his father, so he secretly returned the stolen things, and other people's families found the treasure, so they did not pursue it again.

With the help of fellow villagers, a funeral was held for Li Jieyang's parents, and the one who beat them felt that they had beaten their parents to death and had paid a large amount of money. Later, they gave Li Jieyang three pieces of ocean as compensation. At that time, it was not ordinary people in the countryside who could take out the ocean, not to mention three yuan, even if he ate meat buns every meal, it was enough for him to live for three months.

Li Jieyang didn't take it, kowtowed to others, took his father's hard-earned money as a plate and entangled it in the mountains, found an old Taoist master as a master, became a Taoist priest, and changed his mind.

I listened to it with great interest, and it wasn't until his story was finished that I remembered, "What is the name of the sentence you said today?"

Shen Baifeng smiled and touched my head, he repeated it, and said: "Dao, in fact, everyone is cultivating the Dao, but in different ways, for example, your Dao is 'Live', and my Dao is 'Kuang Fu Justice', understand?"

I didn't understand it, but I understood it as soon as he made an analogy, and in order to show my inferences, I asked rhetorically: "It's like turnips and greens have their own love, right?"

Shen Baifeng nodded, and praised me for being smart.

I asked him why he was looking for Jieyanglu, and Shen Baifeng said, "I want to see what kind of Tao he is seeking, and I can also learn it!"

We talked a lot that night, including what Shen Baifeng had and what interesting experiences he had.

Shen Baifeng asked me what I wanted to do in the future, and I said that I also wanted to uphold justice, and I also wanted to punish the traitors and eliminate evil, but ...... I also wanted to marry a beautiful daughter-in-law, which caused him to laugh heartily, and we didn't go to bed until midnight.

The next morning, Shen Baifeng and his grandfather went to the cemetery again, leaving me alone to sleep at home.

Shen Baifeng took a shovel and dug all the way into the passage where his grandfather and them had been.

Grandpa looked at Shen Baifeng's face and was not red and out of breath, and sighed: "It's good to be young." ”

Shen Baifeng said while digging: "I used to help my old man work, and I am not so tired when I get used to it." ”

In fact, Grandpa was also very curious about what kind of magical powers Shen Baifeng had, whether he had it or was unwilling to show it.

"Sure enough......" Shen Baifeng stopped his movements, as if he had dug it up, "It's really all gone." ”

Grandpa's old face turned red, although Shen Baifeng didn't mean to target him, his face was still hot.

Shen Baifeng lit the torch he brought and walked into the tomb, and sure enough, as his grandfather said, the bones were indeed sitting in a meditative form, and there was no skull.

"Master Ancestor, don't come to harm's way, your little apprentice grandson has come to see you, by the way, you can find something to use. Although Shen Baifeng sounded like a child, he kowtowed very respectfully, although he had never seen this ancestor, he had heard a lot from his grandfather's mouth, and he only felt that Li Jieyang was a righteous and awe-inspiring person, and he was also the idol of his youth.

"Did the old gentleman see the books in this tomb when he came in?"

Grandpa shook his head and asked, "Isn't Dao Elder suspicious of me?"

Shen Baifeng smiled and said, "No, I'm just worried that the book was stolen during the lifetime of the ancestor." ”

Grandpa also thought it was possible, so he should go with him.

Although the two returned in vain, Shen Baifeng clicked a point before leaving, and packed Li Jieyang's bones to another place, saying that the feng shui in that place was good and could give the old man a peaceful life.

As the saying goes, the children of the poor are in charge of the house, and by the time they come back, I will have already cooked the meal. Because my grandfather is not very tall, the stove was short when I first built the house, so it didn't delay me from learning to cook at all.

"Yo! I can cook at a young age, I have a chance! I have a chance!" Shen Baifeng's praise made my face flush.

After eating, Shen Baifeng asked me if I wanted to learn from him, I hesitated for a while, looked at my old grandfather, and finally couldn't say what I wanted. When you are a Taoist, you have to travel all over the world, and when I leave, what should my grandfather do?

Shen Baifeng seemed to see my difficulty, so he said, "Haha, what about teasing you, my matter hasn't been solved yet, how can I have time to win you over?"

Although I felt a little sorry in my heart, it made me feel relieved. At least I can stay and take care of my grandfather!, but then something happened and I had to leave this place.

Shen Baifeng had been thinking about me that night, and he felt that if he hadn't mentioned my life in public ten years ago, maybe I wouldn't have been kicked out of the village by them, and I wouldn't have fallen to the point where I have no father's pain and no mother's love.

Maybe it was because of my guilt, but later he insisted on sending me to study, and I learned a lot, but these are all things that came later.
