Chapter 21: The Legend of the Water Golden Turtle
The next day, I came to the tea shop early, but I didn't expect Old Man Li to wait at the door of the small tea shop earlier than me, sitting on the steps with a sad face. It seems that the old boy has been having a bad time these days.
Seeing me coming from afar, Old Man Li hurriedly greeted me and eagerly told me what had happened in the past few days. This old boy is not small to look at obscenity, the family actually offered 50,000 yuan, and the two families would be reluctant to pay 50,000 yuan when they saw that Xiao Wang was rescued, and now most of our generation are only children, and the only baby son in the family is stupid, as long as he can cure how much money he will pay. It is precisely because of this that Old Man Li dares to open his mouth, in fact, if it can really be cured, it is not expensive, the key is where he will cure.
Although he pretended to be a "master" at that time, he couldn't drag it out after a long time, the money had already been collected, and it would be the same as cutting his flesh to let him take it back. I am amused and angry when I understand what happened, I am really a person who has everything!
At this point, I won't hide it from Old Man Li, and tell him directly that I understand this time, right? He said yes, those two boys are pretending to be like, it seems that they won't recover if they don't see you, I slanted at him, and you still think they are pretending to be stupid? This old man Li was a little confused, although he had been pretending to be a god stick for some years, but the more he knew, the more he felt that some things were not credible.
This is actually the same as the folk fortune teller, the first lesson taught by the master to accept the apprentice is that he cannot tell fortunes for himself, nor can he tell fortunes to those close to him. Why? Many people use the curse of heaven as an excuse, come on, in fact, they don't know that they will not work at all, which explains why they can only rely on fortune-telling to make a living at that age, and the other is afraid that the apprentice will miss a few words at will! Don't look at Old Man Li, he seems to have a good eye for doing the Fa, but as long as I pay attention to that set, I can copy it for him if I read it once.
Looking at his bewildered eyes, I felt more and more funny, and simply casually said that I was actually an apprentice accepted by a real master in the world, and I could subdue demons and eliminate demons, only because I was too young to gain the trust of others, so I found your Lao Li partner, but I was afraid that you wouldn't believe it, so I lied to you.
As soon as he said this, Old Man Li reacted, rubbed his hands obscenely and said Since he is a master apprentice, can you show a few hands to open his eyes? I'll go! This old man really can't open any pot! Lulu eyes? I think about it, the key is to learn until now, but I have learned a lot of magic powers, and I am still depressed when I talk about it! I said okay, I'll show you, pack up and let's go to the door to see a doctor!
Lao Li Tou saw that I not only didn't care about him and didn't follow the rules, but took the initiative to solve the trouble for him, so he was naturally happy. The moment I closed the door of the store, I remembered it, and told Old Man Li that in the future, we will divide the income fifty-fifty, and we can't let you take it all alone. Hearing this, the old man's face immediately collapsed, but he had no choice but to agree, hmph, he is really good at acting, and I don't know how to steal joy in my heart.
Old man Li didn't expect that I was going to go to someone's door immediately, and I didn't wear any clothes, so I had to accompany him to his house first. His home is next to the North Railway Station, the old house, the house is clean and clean, looking at the award certificate on the wall should be a granddaughter who is in elementary school, the family did not see anyone else, the old man took out a three-color plastic bag in the room, and put it on in front of me, it seems that this person is also quite real, these things are obviously purchased last time, although it does not cost five hundred yuan, but at least it is not completely dark, indicating that people still have this minimum professional ethics.
Dressed properly, with Old Man Li directing the driver, we went directly to one of them. This family's surname is Yu, and both husband and wife are people's teachers, and it stands to reason that they will not believe in any cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and there is really no way, they seek medical treatment in a hurry, and everyone is like this, not to mention that there is an example of Lao Wang's grandson Xiao Wang in front of them, and they can't help but believe it. But even so, they are still relatively cold to our arrival, mainly because Old Man Li didn't make an effect last time, and this time I'm here, it's different.
Although the trust was shaken, the husband and wife didn't say much, and the four of them faced each other on the sofa, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. My current identity is a little apprentice, naturally it is not good for the master to speak first, only to say that the last time the time was not right, the master saved people's hearts and made an exception to help the two families, but the world should not be, the gods and spirits were in vain, so it didn't work out.
In this way, the faces of the husband and wife in the classroom softened a lot, the men began to smoke for us, and the women went into the room to lead the fools, people are like this, they have to communicate and explain, so that they can gain initial trust, and then look at the process and results.
Seeing that the fool was led out like a child by his mother, several of our men invariably extinguished the cigarettes in their hands, and Lao Li Tou didn't hold it because of his weak heart, and quickly set up the incense case, and the family was familiar with the process, so they didn't need to tell their son to take the side and stand up.
Lao Wang is even more familiar with the way to do it, and a bowl of talisman water was served in my hand in a short time. Before pouring the talisman water, I suddenly had an idea, and used the king word decision, the king word decision has the function of breaking the barrier and manifesting, I want to see if I can see anything. The warm sensation came from the depths of the eye socket again, and it was dimly visible that the top of the fool's head was shrouded in a cloud of pale yellow smoke, and it seemed that this pale yellow smoke had blinded their minds and made them stupid.
I am still very happy to see that Wang Ziduel does have a little effect, at least I can see who is really sick and who is evil, isn't it? Suppressing the joy in his heart, he pressed the fool's shoulder and poured a bowl of talisman water. At this time, I saw that the moment my hand touched the fool, the pale yellow smoke wrapped around my arm as if I saw my father, and a warm feeling came, and soon all entered the dantian.
Seeing that it was over, I withdrew my arms and bowls, gave Old Man Li a proper look, and sat down on the sofa on the side. Old man Li got my hint, put his mind at ease, sat down beside me, closed his eyes and pretended to be a master, he was probably not less anxious these days, and I didn't bother to bother with him.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the fool to stop being stupid, and the family hugged and cried with joy. After a while, the family who calmed down began to thank us non-stop, and it didn't matter if I didn't thank us if I received the money, but Old Man Li seemed to be angry in his heart, and he always closed his eyes, I couldn't bear to see the teacher's family bowing down, so I asked them to sit down too, saying that the master was tired of doing things, and there was no need to apologize.
Then I talked to the young man who had just come out of the state of being a fool, this kid was born in a teacher's family, and at first glance he was a good baby, and he was probably encouraged by the other two boys to follow the adventure together. The young man's eyes were red all the time after he knew what had happened, and he looked very guilty. I asked him what he said, and the more I talked, the more I felt worthless for this kid.
It turned out that these young men had nothing to do during the college holidays, so they made an appointment to go to Wuyi Mountain to have fun together, and they were fine, but Wang Lao's grandson and another classmate surnamed Zhao dragged him up to the mountains to find some golden turtles. He went with them stupidly, but the golden turtle was not found, but the turtle found one, and I don't know if they were lucky or unlucky, it was winter, and the winter in Wuyi was not very cold, and it was a sunny day, and they just met a turtle basking in the sun by the water, so they caught the turtle.
If you catch it, forget it, a few guys ran away, and they didn't bring anything to eat, they were hungry halfway through, and they had ideas when they grabbed the turtle in their hands, and they didn't study well, two of the three college students were smokers, and they had lighters on their bodies, and the teacher's son said that he was unwilling at first, but he couldn't persuade the two, so he had to watch them make a fire and roast the turtle. But just as the tortoise was sizzling and he was about to ripen his life, a puff of yellowish smoke suddenly rose from the fire, and then he knew nothing.
This really makes me cry and laugh, I know the water turtle, but I didn't expect it to be there, but it shouldn't be the main one who let them roast it, otherwise I'm afraid it's not stupid.
In other words, why do I know about the water golden turtle when I sell tea? In fact, I first came into contact with the water turtle once was to drink, right is to drink, the water turtle is a tea name, is one of the "four famous clusters" of Wuyi rock tea. It is produced on the half-cliff under the Gezhai Peak of Niulankeng Society in Wuyi Mountain. It is named because the tea leaves are dense and shiny, and they look like golden turtles. Picked in mid-May every year, mainly with two or three leaves, the color is green and red, the taste is sweet, the aroma is high, and the drink is strong and not bitter. The color is green brown and bright, showing "treasure light".
At the beginning of coming to Fujian, I was very happy to see the tea houses everywhere, and I went to rub the tea everywhere if I had nothing to do, mainly to increase my knowledge, and drink all kinds of good tea. As one of the four famous water turtles, it is actually not as magical as the Wuyi people sing, especially the rise of Jin Junmei in recent years, the name is not particularly loud, and it has faded out of people's mouths now.
The reason why I am more impressed by the water turtle is that it has a very interesting legend, in fact, most tea leaves have their own legends, I have also collected and researched about this, and finally found that it is just a tea merchant in order to increase the popularity of tea, but today it seems that this is not necessarily the case.
Legend has it that the water golden turtle was originally a big turtle that practiced in the Yunxu Cave of Qingyun Mountain for thousands of years to get the right fruit, and later flew to the heavenly court, and it was not easy to practice in a hole for thousands of years, and naturally had great expectations for the future, I don't know if it was because it had been sitting in the well and watching the sky for a long time or it didn't have much ability, anyway, the heavenly court didn't give it enough treatment, and only sealed an errand in the fairy tea garden to hoe and water the grass for the fairy tea tree. I don't know if it's true, but later generations said that the water golden turtle and the Monkey King actually had something to do with it, because the errand that Sun Monkey did in the heavenly court was a horse feeding Bi Ma Wen, and everyone had similar errands and had dealings with each other.
Later, Sun Monkey turned out of Heaven and made a big fuss, and then he was pressed under Wuzhi Mountain by Rulai, I don't know if it was a thing that hurt it or if Sun Monkey was more lonely in the sky, anyway, the water golden turtle was almost depressed, and he felt that it was not worth it to practice for a thousand years for such an errand that no one cared about. Later, one day he was awakened by the shouts of tea sacrifice in the Wuyi Mountain Imperial Tea Garden, and couldn't help but sneak out of Nantianmen to see the excitement. When he saw that the Wuyishan County Order led everyone to kneel and shout the mountain, the red candles in the audience and on the stage were burning, the offerings were abundant, and everyone in the audience worshiped the tea top, which was sincere and sincere. Ya's heart is not at peace, why am I not as good as a tea tree? Indignant, he threw himself into the world and turned into a tea tree.
Why is this behavior so much like a mortal jumping off a building? In any case, it is also an old turtle that has attained Taoism for thousands of years, and it must not have died, but turned into a tea tree, and was later seen by tea farmers, and the name of the water golden turtle gradually spread out.
Why is it so bad that he would take revenge on humans for a turtle? There's no way to get this head up.
