A Taoist priest is a person who lives a religious life that accepts all kinds of rules and precepts. In the eyes of our secular people, their lives are bitter and lonely, plain and tasteless, and they should be the kind of life that lives like years. But in fact, the Taoist priest in front of him did not show the slightest loneliness, on the contrary, he looked very confident, with a natural elegance and lightness, and a light breeze that saw through the world.

What kind of person is a Taoist priest?

The Taoist priest in front of him introduced himself and said that his name is Qingyan, and he is the abbot of this Taoist temple, and the correct name should be called Qingyan Dao Chang, but he doesn't seem to care about the title, just smiled and said Let's call him Dao brother, which makes me very surprised, it seems that all places with strict precepts have strict boundaries for titles and ranks, I don't know why he doesn't care, Sun Hao seemed to see my surprise, smiled at me lightly, turned his head and chatted with the Taoist chief again. The Taoist chief seemed to be very interested, and took the initiative to ask Sun Hao some trivial things, and then asked about the current situation of the old man who had saved Sun Hao. Sun Hao's expression darkened, and he sighed and talked about the old man's worrying recent situation. The Dao Chang shook his head silently, silent. He called the old man his uncle, and although he didn't know where he was talking about it, his expression was not fake, and he was also worried about the old man. Then he sighed lightly, raised his head slightly to look at the sky, and said lightly, "Everything has a certainty." ”

I shook my head slightly.

If everything is conclusive, then why should people pursue it? In the vast sea of people, we strive to pursue the life we want, the happiness we want, can a certain number announce our end? I don't agree with the fixed number, I prefer to believe in pay and return, if you don't get the return you want because you don't pay enough, life in the world must always maintain a normal heart, because pay will always be much more than the return.

Definite number, I think what he said about definite number is under the condition of equivalence, if this is the case, then the conclusion of the definite number is quite correct, but the world is more of an unequal equivalent exchange.

After a few more words of greeting with Sun Hao, the Taoist chief led us through the door on the right side into the Taoist temple, and came to a room for pilgrims to rest, signaling that we could rest here, and then planned to leave. At this time, Feng Xiaolu couldn't wait to ask the question that had always puzzled her.

"What exactly did we see on the road?"

The Dao Chang didn't answer directly, he still raised his head slightly, looked at the sky, and said lightly, the natural Dao is born with one life, two and two, three and three things, the avenue is invisible, and everything has a spirit.

Feng Xiaolu was stunned for a while, and wanted to ask something, but the Dao Chang walked towards the distance, leaving only us who were still confused.

"What!" Feng Xiaolu muttered dissatisfiedly, dragged Zhang Hui into the house, and Sun Hao followed in with a helpless smile.

The avenue is invisible, and everything has a spirit. I frowned and thought to myself, is everything really like that? I shook my head slightly, I didn't know, although the chief seemed confident, with what I knew now, I couldn't tell if his words were right or wrong.

Why does he think so? I think it may be because of his faith. Faith, because of faith he thinks so, because of faith he defends such a conclusion, I speculate. Practitioners believe that as long as they practice, they can attain inner peace, and as long as they continue to practice, they can get closer to their goals, and even achieve them. Taoism pays attention to the formlessness of the avenue, and traces the origin to preach the Tao, because everything in this world is born and destroyed, only the Tao is immortal, not increasing or decreasing, and eternal, so they will continue to pursue it, rather than being able to attain the Tao and become immortals.

Looking at the back of the long run, the pace is firm and elegant. What keeps him in his faith? I shook my head slightly, and I raised my head slightly, following his example, looking at the sky, at the floating clouds.

What makes people have faith? Let people hold on to their beliefs? Perhaps the problem is not about faith, but about persistence itself.

Persistence, even if the rules and precepts are clear, even if it is lonely and cold, many people are still silently persevering, moving silently in the direction they choose, the end does not seem to matter, the important thing is that they are still moving their feet, and people are still moving forward. In the process of moving forward, people are happy and satisfied, and this has nothing to do with the end. This happiness comes from our persistence, from the direction we insist on walking.

Happiness, perhaps. I shook my head slightly. Happiness, this happiness that persists in the vast future, how pale and pitiful this happiness is.

What about us? When we laity who do not even have a direction to adhere to, we see the happiness that others insist on, and we delusionally want to be contaminated with it, and we allocate some of that insignificant peace of mind, and deceive ourselves and others to comfort our own fearful hearts. What about us, are we more sad?

"Happiness is the feeling that only creation can have." I sighed and muttered to myself.

"Cut." Wang Huan glanced at me disdainfully, "Xiaoshan, let me tell you, don't do strange things." Her tone was full of warning, and she went inside.

I looked at her and smiled self-deprecatingly, I might really be a weirdo in their eyes.

"Brother Xiaoshan won't do strange things, I believe you." Luxue patted me on the arm and smiled, her eyes full of trust, and she walked into the room.

Maybe I'm a weirdo, I thought to myself, looking at her back. At least they can instinctively pursue even this cheap happiness and peace of mind, and I have long since frozen this instinct. Maybe I'm such a weirdo.

With a light sigh, I raised my steps and was about to go into the house to rest for a while, but when I looked up, I found that Zhou Ying was looking at me with a smile.

"Xiaoshan, do you like dew snow?" Zhou Ying said with a smile, her face was full of gossip interest, and the meaning that should have been a question was said to be positive.

Luxue, do you like her? I don't know, maybe I don't dare to know. What kind of emotion is like, I have long since deleted. Because I blocked out this perception a long time ago, because I understood the weight of commitment, the weight of life, and I knew that I couldn't afford it.

I looked at her, not trying to answer her question at all, but she looked at me with a smile as if she wanted my answer, as if she was laughing and caring.

I looked at her, frowned, thought carefully for a moment, then turned my head sideways, looked at the sky, and said lightly, "Look, flying saucer." ”
