Chapter 84: Altering the Book of the Sages
With great difficulty, he climbed to the jar, and the longing that rose in his heart made him seem to smell the aroma of wine.
In fact, Wu Dalang himself didn't know that due to the effect of scorpion venom, his central nervous system was damaged at the moment, resulting in a dull sense of smell. At present, even if it is a good wine, if he doesn't drink it and smell it, he can't smell it anymore.
Wu Dalang looked at the "fine wine" close at hand, and an impulse rose in his heart. He needed to do an important thing now, and that was to sit up and lean against the shelf next to him, because it was difficult to hold the jar and drink on his stomach.
However, judging from his current physical condition, how easy is it to sit up? Due to the weakness of his whole body and the complete numbness of his right leg, he tried several times to sit up on the shelf, but the result was all unsuccessful.
Wu Dalang was so anxious that he hit the wine jar in front of him with his head, and said to himself with a crying voice: "I rely on your dog to make a dead god, why don't you let me sit up, how can I drink?......"
He was still thanking "God" for giving him good wine just now, but now he scolded "Dead God" angrily. Wu Dalang scolded a few words, and suddenly thought that even if he really sat up, he might not be able to have the strength to hold the jar of wine, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of despair in his heart, and he lay on the ground and howled.
He cried a few times, looked up and saw the wine jar in front of him again, and a few inspirational ancient texts that he had memorized when he was in elementary school poured out in his mind! He subconsciously wanted to recite these few ancient texts to cheer himself up.
So, he stared at the "champion red" wine jar in front of him with a pair of triangular eyes, and said in his mouth: "The sky will descend on me, and I must ...... Must be ...... first What's going on?"
He searched his stomach and thought about it for a long time, and finally let him think of a plausible next sentence, and continued to chant out: "You must eat tomatoes hard first...... but when he said this, he felt that something was wrong, because he couldn't understand why those who had become great things should eat tomatoes hard. He thought about it and felt that eating tomatoes bitterly would definitely be sour, so it was not worth it. In fact, this sentence in the original text should be "bitter and willful". However, when Wu Dalang was in elementary school, he often skipped school and skipped school because of his rebellious personality caused by his inferiority complex and self-abandonment. Even when I sit in the classroom, I often tamper with a few bad students, and I barely memorize the books properly. So at the moment, for him, it has really become a book, and he hates it less when he uses it.
Wu Dalang was lying there, staring at the wine jar with his eyes, his brain kept turning. Finally, he remembered the next sentence that he had tampered with, so he cleared his throat and groaned, "Old eat...... After he said this sentence, he savored the "meaning" of it, but felt that it seemed to be more reasonable than the sentence "bitter tomatoes" just now, he thought: "Chicken bones can't be eaten all the time, that thing must be difficult to swallow no matter how it is steamed, boiled, cooked, and fried, so this sentence should be written much better than the previous sentence 'bitter tomatoes'."...... In fact, the original text of this sentence is "to work his muscles and bones".
Wu Dalang distorted the ancient text, and was greatly proud of his "agile" thinking. This made him feel refreshed, so he quickly dug out the next sentence in the depths of his memory, and read it leisurely: "Goose eats...... Skin. He savored this sentence a little, and couldn't help but think in his heart: "Yes, it makes sense! This goose, the meat is relatively woody, and if it is not cooked well, it is fishy, if the meat is not stewed, the taste must be hard and fishy and can not be bitten, in this case...... You can get some goose skin and eat it. But how many things can you eat just by eating goose skins? Surely you will not be satisfied? Therefore, the ancients thought that eating goose skins was also suffering!" he thought self-righteously, but he knew that the original text should be "starve its body and skin." ”
Wu Dalang finished chanting the sentence just now, and suddenly his thinking was active and his brain was opened, and he suddenly remembered the last few sentences that he had tampered with with those "hair children" who had skipped school with him. So he continued to chant with self-absorption: "The dry Buddha eats the body, and the Buddha eats and feeds indiscriminately, so he is sad about human nature, and he is angry all day long!"
Wu Dalang didn't know that his ridiculous-sounding tampered words and sentences had long been no longer touched by the original text, but had become a set of slips that taught people to give up on themselves.
At this moment, he was delighted with his "cleverness" and "talent", and got carried away with the inspirational "ancient text" that he had just sorted out and even he didn't know the source, shaking his head and chanting: "The heavens will descend on me, I must first eat tomatoes, eat chicken bones, goose eat skin, dry Buddha eats body, believe in Buddha to eat and feed indiscriminately, so I am sad about human nature, and I am angry all day long." ”
He read it in one go, and he felt very happy in his heart. Even the pain of the poison seems to have lessened a lot.
So, he finally found the long-lost "inspirational" feeling, couldn't help but crack his mouth and laughed a few times, and once again chanted with emotion: "The sky will descend on me, I must first eat tomatoes, chicken bones, geese eat skin, and dry Buddha eats body ......"
Wu Dalang lay on the ground and chanted the self-righteous inspirational "holy chapter". How did he know that all these things he groaned were not on the horse's lips.
This should have been a well-known passage written by Mencius in the article "Born in Sorrow, Died in Peace". The original text is - Therefore, the heavens will descend on people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically. People are permanent, and then they can change......
The reason why this article has been able to inspire future generations from generation to generation is because of its profound meaning. The gist of the article is that if Heaven wants to place a heavy burden on someone, it must first make him mentally distressed, tired of his muscles and bones, make him hungry, make his body empty and weak, and make his every action unsatisfactory, so as to stimulate his mind, make him more and more stoic, and increase his abilities that he does not possess.
It's a pity that Wu Dalang crookedly changed the book of sages and sages, and used a rolling pin as a flute to blow, and he could even enjoy it!
At this time, Wu Dalang had already entered a state of excitement under his own encouragement, and his eyes looked brighter than just now. His small triangular eyes aimed at the shelves five or six meters in front of him. Suddenly, in the dim light, he found a large iron spoon for the back kitchen of the restaurant, and he was excited in his heart, and thought, "If I can crawl over and get that big iron spoon, won't I be able to use the spoon to get wine and drink from this jar?" Thinking of this, he cheered up and crawled forward slowly and twisted like a big wounded worm.
Same time, different place. Let's talk about Qiao Qiao, who is thousands of miles away in Tanggang City.
Just a few minutes ago, Blue Lotus, who had been chattering on the edge of her bed, finally became sleepy and went back to sleep.
But Qiao Qiao couldn't sleep. This moment. The sorrow of losing her loved ones since she was a child, the grievances of lack of love, and the spiritual wounds that are difficult to heal brought to her by the rising sun, make her heart more eager to get a true love in the world. So she picked up her mobile phone again and entered the faint karaoke room in the early hours of the morning, hoping to meet that person again-Gudao sheep intestines.
