Fang Zhongdao: "Does your mother want you to go?" Zhou Qing snorted coldly and said, "It doesn't matter if she wants to or not, anyway, I have already made up my mind." Naturally, she refused, so I sneaked away in the middle of the night. Before leaving, I glanced at her through the broken window, and it was the last time. Seeing her kneeling and bowing in front of a mud bodhisattva wiping her nose and wiping her tears, she didn't hear what she said clearly, maybe she knew that she had too many sins and was repenting. She actually knows that she is uneasy? ”

Fang Zhongdao: "You haven't seen her since then?" ”

Zhou Qing said: "No! I don't want to see her. ”……

"Actually, my mother found out that night, and before I had gone far, I hurriedly hid in the grass, and listened to her calls, and her voice was very miserable, crying and begging me to come back, crying and saying how bad she was, and that she would treat me twice as well in the future, hum! It's all a lie! If she is a mother, why did she drown her sister!? Why did you sell your sister!? She is so ruthless, where will she treat me well? I must go! ”

"I can't be looked down upon all my life, be a poor bachelor all my life, and be bullied all my life." When Zhou Qing said this, his expression was very angry.

Fang Zhong said regretfully: "How can my father and mother not like their children? I can't do it if I abandon my parents without saying a word. Parents all over the world, I really don't believe that parents will be like this, maybe...... Your mother really loves you and cares about you. ”

Zhou Qing hurriedly shook his head and said, "Impossible, she doesn't even want her own children, how can she like me?" ”

Fang Zhongdao: "Could it be that your mother loves you more than her sisters and sisters?" That's why when I drowned your sister, I said: Save one by one, just because, leaving you alone, she can let you live better! ”

When Zhou Qing heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then his face sank, and he said: "No, no, it must be that you don't know the truth and speculate arbitrarily, where would my mother think so?" It's clearly for herself, not for my ....... Senior Brother Fang, don't say it! Fang Zhong saw that his face was gloomy in a blink of an eye, so he stopped talking.

The two of them slowly took a nap in the night breeze. In Zhou Qing's sleep, he muttered to himself, "No...... No, ....... He seemed to be still thinking about Fang Zhong's words.

……………………………………………………………………

"Zhou Qing! Get up! It's so bright and I'm still sleeping, and my brother is changing shifts. A Taoist shouted loudly.

Fang Zhong got up and saw that it was the two Daoists from yesterday. The Daoist brought two steamed buns and handed them to Fang Zhong, and said, "I thought that Brother Zhou Qing was the only one here, I'm sorry, so there are only two steamed buns, and you two will divide it." Fang Zhong took it, he was already so hungry that he was close to his back, he ate a steamed bun in two bites, and handed the other one to Zhou Qing. Zhou Qing's face turned crimson, and he took the steamed bun weakly and chewed it slowly. The man laughed and said, "Oops! Senior Brother Zhou, are you cold? How blushing like a monkey's ass. Zhou Qing touched his head and said, "It's a little heavy." He slowly stood up and asked, "What time is it?" Another Taoist said, "There is still half an hour before the temple listens." Go quickly, for if you are too late, you will be punished. Zhou Qing was taken aback, and hurriedly said to Fang Zhong: "Quick, Senior Brother Fang, let's go to the Sanqing Palace." The two of them hurried to the Sanqing Palace.

Walking and walking, Zhou Qing stumbled and almost fell. Fang Zhong held it up and asked, "What's the matter, Senior Brother Zhou?" Zhou Qing said: "I think I suffered from the cold yesterday and was dizzy." Senior Brother Fang, there is not much time, you go to the Sanqing Hall first, and I will go slowly. Fang Zhong said: "I'll help you." He helped Zhou Qing and walked slowly.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. The two of them walked together how to get up quickly, and before they got the Sanqing Palace, except for the Taoist priest who was on duty to sweep, there was no one outside. Zhou Qing said anxiously: "We're late." "Hurry in through the temple gate.

Zhou Qing took Fang Zhong and worshiped the statue of Sanqing first, and then moved to a huge room at the back of the hall. The hall was full of young disciples, lined up in dozens of rows, and in front of them was a long coffee table, no less than hundreds of people. Lu Wenfu sat high in the hall, with the Tao Te Ching in his left hand and the ring ruler in his right hand, and was preaching the Taoist scriptures.

The two rushed in and immediately became the target of public criticism. Lu Wenfu slapped the ring ruler and shouted, "Who is here?" Why are you late? Zhou Qing hurriedly saluted and said, "Disciples Zhou Qing and Fang Zhong pay a visit to Master Lu. The disciple occasionally felt the wind and cold, and it was inconvenient to walk, so Senior Brother Fang supported me and missed the hour, so I was late. Lu Wenfu looked at Zhou Qing's face, knew whether he was lying, and said coldly: "Zhou Qing, it's not that you have excellent qualifications, Kunlun thinks that you are pious in seeking the Tao, and you knelt at the mountain gate for three days and three nights, so that you can take you in, the so-called stupid bird flies first, you should pay more effort than other disciples, so as not to fall behind, you have to remember." Zhou Qing responded: "Yes!" Lu Wenfu said: "It should have been punished, but you are indeed sick, let me have a demerit, you sit down." Zhou Qing glanced down at Fang Zhong and sat in the last row of empty seats.

Lu Wenfu said sharply again: "Fang Zhong! The first time you went up the mountain, a new disciple, the first time you listened to the lecture, you were late, setting a precedent that Kunlun has not seen for hundreds of years, which shows that you are lazy and do not want to forge ahead, and you will be punished to stand for two hours to warn your will. Fang Zhong was speechless, so he had to stand at the door. Lu Wenfu said: "Okay, don't be disturbed by disdainful disciples, continue to listen." A group of young disciples whispered one after another.

Lu Wenfu slapped the ruler and said loudly: "Kindness is like water." Water is good for all things without fighting, and it is evil for everyone, so it is more than the Tao. He looked at the disciples below and asked, "If anyone understands what it means, they might as well stand up and tell it." ”

Countless young children have enthusiastic. Lu Wenfu nodded and said, "You come and listen to the brothers." The disciple said, "Yes, Master." The good is like water, which means that the good people are like water. Water is good for all things without fighting, and it is evil for everyone, so it is more than the Tao. It is a further elaboration of water, and the words reach the meaning of the people, persuading us to be as soft as water to others, nourishing all things, but not competing for profit. Lu Wenfu smiled and nodded, and said, "It's hard to have a bad meaning, and it's reluctant." Which other disciple would like to elaborate? When the disciples heard what the disciple said, they were just like that, and they were silent. Lu Wenfu said proudly: "Interpret it in words, but fundamentally, I know the reason but I don't know why." If you want to go to a higher level, you need to disassemble it carefully from the outside to the inside in order to understand the meaning of the scriptures. Some of the disciples who had a flexible quarrel said, "Please explain the scriptures and teach the ignorant disciples." Lu Wenfu said: "Okay! I'll elaborate, and you listen carefully. ”

"Good is like water, and good people can be compared to water, but also earth, gold, wood, and even fire! The appearance of the Tao is ever-changing, but the reason is the same! The young disciples were in an uproar.

"What a reason, water is good for all things without fighting! If it is not the case with water, all things in heaven and earth can be replaced, and it is important to benefit all things without fighting! I can say that fire is good for all things without fighting, why not? Because the water is full of floods, it also nourishes all things; The fire burns and burns, and it shines brightly. From the good to the good, from the evil to the evil, this is the truth. If you all understand this truth, it is better than the Tao. The disciples nodded suddenly, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.
