Chapter 5 Shaking Money
The tiny sapling quickly grew and elongated under the astonished gaze of everyone, turning into a strange little tree that looked like a vine more than half a human tall. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Everyone was attracted by the Taoist priest's technique, and they stretched their necks one by one to see the appearance of this cash cow.
The Taoist priest made a sword with two fingers, and suddenly sprinkled a golden light from the palm of his hand, and the golden light was scattered on the branches and leaves of the vines, only to hear the onlookers exclaim "wow", and all the branches and leaves of the strange little tree had been transformed into golden copper coins.
The Taoist priest stretched out his hand, picked up a large handful of copper coins from the tree, and put them in Liang Lan's hand.
Liang Lan took the copper coin and pinched it hard, convinced that it was a genuine copper coin. The old Taoist's hand can really be called an immortal method that turns stones into gold.
The Taoist priest pulled the money tree out of the soil, and sure enough, he saw that the tree had no roots, and it was all attached to the copper coin. He also handed over the cash cow to Liang Lan and said, "This cash cow can grow 8,000 copper coins, and now it is yours." If you return a thousand times the poor, you will definitely be true to your word. ”
To the surprise of the Taoist priest, Liang Lan dismissed his kindness, even the copper coin handed to him by the Taoist priest just now was returned, leaving only the eight coins that originally belonged to Liang Lan.
"Liang Lan thanked the aisleman, it's just that a gentleman loves money, and there is a way to take it, and it is not Liang Lan's way to make something out of nothing."
Seeing that the gift was rejected, a complicated look flashed on his face, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "The donor is also a pedantic person, how can he not take it from heaven when he hears the way of heaven!" ”
Liang Lan just smiled when he heard this, and the two lives of being a person had already made him extremely determined: "Liang Lan has never heard of the way of heaven, so he just practices his own way." ”
The old Taoist priest looked at Liang Lan's firm eyes, so he no longer insisted, and directly threw the cash cow in his hand on the ground, calling everyone to come forward and take it for themselves.
Seeing this kind of good thing happening, the crowd of onlookers flocked up and vigorously plucked the copper coins from the tree.
In the chaos, Liang Lan saw the Taoist priest's figure drifting away.
is really a master of Taoism, Liang Lan sighed, although he did not follow the Taoist priest to learn Taoism, he did not have too much regret in his heart. If you are not pursuing what you insist on, how can you get positive results?
This Taoist priest's style is really contrary to his own insistence.
Suddenly, there was a shout of swearing from the crowd of people who were crowding for money. Liang Lan looked back, and it was Wu Dabao, the owner of the tavern, who was shouting and scolding.
It turned out that Wu Dabao saw the money and opened his eyes, and heard the Taoist priest beckoning everyone to come forward to pick up the copper coin, relying on his big shoulders and wide body, the first to squeeze into the tree money, and after grabbing a few handfuls frantically, he suddenly heard his wife shouting there, and the savings saved in his own money cabinet for many years were stolen by someone to steal a full 8,000 Wen.
Only then did Wu Dabao know that the eight thousand texts on the cash cow were all stolen by Taoist priests from his own treasury!
Everyone also understood, those who robbed the money, and those who didn't grab it to see the excitement, all dispersed in a hurry.
There were only a few people left, and a cash cow with dozens of copper coins hanging on it.
"Dead thieves are bald, and those who are damned by heaven will not die well!"
Wu Dabao scolded and wanted to continue picking the copper coins on the tree, but suddenly there was a strange wind, the wind blew, and all the copper coins of the cash tree withered, and even the copper coins that Wu Dabao originally grabbed in his hand turned into dead leaves.
Wu Dabao's face was pale, and he didn't care about scolding, so he suddenly squatted on the ground and cried bitterly.
Although the scale of Qingyun Tavern is not small, in the final analysis, it is only a small business, and it earns only hundreds of Wen per month. This is not a small matter, but the neighbors all know that Wu Xiaobao, the only seedling of Wu Dabao's family, suddenly had a strange illness a few years ago, and spent a lot of money seeking medical treatment everywhere, but he still has not been cured.
A famous doctor in Linqing prescribed a prescription for them, but they could catch at least a few thousand texts according to the list. In order to save money for their son's treatment, the couple saved money and used a penny, and Wu Dabao was called the iron rooster.
Seeing that he had almost saved, his son Wu Xiaobao's treatment was in sight, but in the blink of an eye, the savings of these years were stolen by a thief who came out of nowhere.
Unexpectedly, because he helped the old Taoist priest, he caused such a storm out of thin air, Liang Lan looked at Wu Dabao, who was crying bitterly, and felt a sense of responsibility in his heart.
Thinking of this, Liang Lan looked back and saw the old road standing at the mouth of the alley in the distance, looking towards this side from afar.
Liang Lan didn't say a word, and chased in the direction of the Taoist. The Taoist priest saw Liang Lan chasing after him, turned around and left, his speed seemed to be slow and fast, like a slippery loach in the crowd, no matter how Liang Lan chased after him, he didn't get close to half a minute.
The Taoist priest turned the white-walled alley lightly, and Liang Lan gasped to follow, only to find that the alley was actually a dead end, and there was no one inside. My heart was suddenly full of depression, and I rested there against the wall.
"Donor, the grievances between you and me have long been settled, I don't know what happened to you following the poor road all the way?"
Lao Dao's voice suddenly sounded behind Liang Lan, there was no displeasure in his voice, Liang Lan's heart was relieved, he turned around and said: "The Taoist chief's words are wrong, then Wu Dabao lost his property, but the reason is from me, if the Taoist chief does not return the money to him, this grievance will not be over." ”
Lao Daogang quietly checked Liang Lan's bones, thinking that Liang Lan was chasing after him to learn the Dao Fa, and planned to test it.
Unexpectedly, Liang Lan came for that Wu Dabao, and suddenly felt quite disappointed, and said: "Why should the donor be so pedantic, what Wu Dabao did naturally has cause and effect." ”
Liang Lan said: "What is cause and effect? ”
Taoist priest said: "His ancestors had been in the poor road of kindness, poor road originally came to repay the kindness, if he gave each other a gift of wine today, the poor road naturally gave it a fortune, who knows that this person is extremely stingy, the tongue is vicious, if not a small punishment, I am afraid that it will be against the way of heaven." ”
Liang Lan saw that this Taoist priest opened his mouth and closed his mouth to heaven, but in fact it was just his own opinion, he was a little unhappy in his heart, and immediately retorted: "The Taoist chief is wrong with his words, and if he has kindness, he will repay the favor, why bother who the other party is, is it because the other party is a wicked person who denies his kindness?" ”
"Nonsense!"
When the Taoist priest heard this, he was furious and said: "Regardless of good and evil, where is the way of heaven, shouldn't you punish the wicked when you encounter them?" ”
Liang Lan knew that this Taoist Dao method was magical, and his temperament was also weird, but he was consciously reasonable, so he continued to boldly and said: "When you encounter evil people, you should naturally be punished, but what is good and what is evil is just a standard set by people themselves, everyone has their own choices, if they insist on going their own way, wouldn't they take their own minds as the way of heaven?" ”
"You ......"
The Taoist priest was stunned when he heard this, and wanted to continue to refute, but he had nowhere to start, and after a long time, he sighed: "It turns out that the Heavenly Dao that Poor Dao has always thought is just the heart of Poor Dao, and for so many years, Poor Dao is just a willful layman." ”
Because of Liang Lan's words, the Taoist priest actually ignited the shackles in his heart for many years, and his Taoist heart was sublimated, and there were faint signs of improvement.
Liang Lan was immediately a little more grateful in his heart, and said: "Thank you for the donor's enlightenment, Poor Dao is willing to meet you a request, and it is not in vain to get acquainted." ”
