Text 68.Strange Taoist priest
Behind his hands and behind him was a thick and long black stick, which was not only black and shiny, but also looked unusually heavy, because where the stick passed, a deep mark was drawn on the ground, which was deeper than the rut marks of ordinary vehicles.
Yao Guangqi followed behind, walking very puzzled, this old Taoist priest went around, in fact, he didn't walk along any road, all he walked was rugged mountain and forest roads.
When the two stopped, Yao Guangqi realized that the master actually took him around the bottom of the mountain.
Bu Operator turned around and said to Yao Guangqi: "Starting tomorrow, you will run along the line you just drawn, once a day in the morning and once in the evening, five laps each time, and you are not allowed to eat if you can't finish running." ”
Yao Guangqi frowned tightly, this lap is at least more than five miles away, and it takes thirty miles to run after five laps, and it is more than 100 miles twice a day in the morning and evening, oh my God, what is this old Taoist priest going to do?
Yao Guangqi's confusion is still to come, Bu Operator is indeed a very strange old way, in addition to letting Yao Guangqi run around the mountain every day, the way of preaching the scriptures is also very special, because he doesn't talk at all, every day at noon, just call Yao Guangqi to the front, to Yao Guangqi to recite the "Tao Te Ching", yes, just memorize, but never explain, whenever Yao Guangqi asks a question because he doesn't understand, Bu Operator always closes his eyes and is silent, sometimes Yao Guangqi really thinks, this old way is not himself who doesn't understand the true meaning of the scriptures.
There are even more strange things, Yao Guangqi ran the first night of the mountain, Yao Guangqi, who had run five laps, sat paralyzed on the ground, at this time the sun was setting, Yao Guangqi couldn't help but feel sleepy, and he was about to fall asleep in a daze, I don't know when the fortune operator came over, Yao Guangqi heard the sound and opened his eyes, and happened to see a hole in the corner of the robe of the operator, the robe was blown by the wind, and the hole in the corner of the robe shook back and forth, which looked very funny. Bu Zhuanzi didn't pay attention to the apprentice's eyes, but sneered and sneered: "It's really useless to be tired like this after only running for a few steps." Yao Guangqi stood up by himself, but he didn't think that his legs were weak and he didn't stand firmly, so he held Yao Guangqi and didn't say anything, and carried Yao Guangqi back.
Early the next morning, when Bu Operator got up, he found that Yao Guangqi was already in the yard preparing to run the mountain. When Yao Guangqi saw the master going out, he smiled and said to the divination operator: "Master, I will repair the hole in the corner of your clothes." ”
When Bu Operator heard this, he looked down, and then noticed that the hole in the Taoist robe had really been filled, this old Taoist suddenly became angry, ripped off the Taoist robe, threw it on the ground, and stepped on it a few times. was pumping on the back of Yao Guangqi's head, Yao Guangqi almost fainted with this slap, and before he could raise his hand to rub it, the old Taoist priest kicked it again, this time the speed was faster, Yao Guangqi felt a kick on the ass before he reacted.
"Who told you to fill the hole?" Bu Operator angrily questioned Yao Guangqi.
Yao Guangqi was very aggrieved, he was obviously kind, how could he be beaten instead? He rubbed the back of his head with one hand and his buttocks with the other, "Yesterday I saw you on your robe..."
Bu Operator unceremoniously interrupted Yao Guangqi: "There are so many defects in the world, can you make up for it?" There are still holes in heaven and earth, have you made up for them? ”
Bu Operator's words made Yao Guangqi even more confused, he thought about it, and didn't know what to say for a while, but he heard the master shout loudly: "What are you stunned, run away." ”
The weirdness of the fortune operator is not only these, this old Taoist priest often does not comb his hair or wash his face after getting up in the morning, he stands in the courtyard with his head to the sky, sometimes Yao Guangqi feels that the old Taoist priest is in a daze, but sometimes he sees that the old Taoist seems to be muttering something, sometimes Yao Guangqi can't help but ask, and the old Taoist doesn't say anything.
After running the mountain for a few days, on the morning of this day, Bu Operator suddenly told Yao Guangqi that he didn't have to run today, and he was going to take him to a place, and then, Yao Guangqi saw Master Bu Operator for the first time and dressed up carefully, washed his face very seriously, and wore a neat and neat Dao crown robe, and then took Yao Guangqi out.
Walking out of the courtyard, Yao Guangqi noticed that the two were walking in the direction of the Taoist temple, Yao Guangqi judged correctly, the fortune operator did take him to the Taoist temple, this time the two did not go to the backyard door, but went straight to the front of the mountain gate, Yao Guangqi has never walked through the mountain gate, standing at the bottom of the steps to look up, the mountain gate is magnificent, majestic and solemn, a group of fairy spirit, the main gate of the mountain gate is just above a rectangular plaque, there are only two small seals on the plaque "nothing", Yao Guangqi recites the Tao Te Ching with the master every day these days, At a glance, you can see that these two words come from the Tao Te Ching, "the beginning of all things without a name, the mother of all things", the magnificent building plus the classic and mysterious name, with the melodious bell from the view, Yao Guangqi's pious heart suddenly rose.
The fortune operator looked very natural, just lightly dusted off his robe at the bottom of the steps, and then raised his feet upwards with a straight face.
Outside the mountain gate, there are two young Taoist priests sweeping the floor, these two Taoist priests saw the fortune operator coming, hurriedly bowed and saluted, after the salute, one of the relatively young turned around and ran towards the mountain gate.
Not long after, the master and apprentice had just climbed the top step and came to the platform in front of the door, when they saw two Taoist priests hurrying out of the gate, and the one behind them was the little Taoist priest who had just run back to report the news.
Yao Guangqi's eyes immediately focused on the Taoist priest walking in front, because this Taoist priest is very interesting, this is a lame Taoist priest in his forties, but the interesting thing is not his lameness, but his Taoist crown, this Taoist priest's Taoist crown is worn crookedly, but the crooked Taoist crown and a high and low pace are just right, and the walking is just showing the effect of one positive and one oblique, but this Taoist priest is interesting in more than this, this Taoist priest is holding a black stick in his hand, the stick is about four feet long, At first glance, he thought it was a walking stick, but no matter how he looked at it, Yao Guangqi felt that this stick was very similar to the big black stick that the master used to draw a route for himself a few days ago, but it looked shorter and thinner than the stick. However, Yao Guangqi noticed that the Taoist priest had never touched the ground with the stick all the way, and the way the Taoist priest held the stick was very interesting, he did not hold any end of the stick, but held it at one-third of the stick, just like holding a sword, a stick that was not slippery hills, and it was actually held out of the feeling of a peerless sword. What's even more strange is the shoes of this Taoist priest, his Taoist shoes are actually black and white, black and white are very eye-catching, the strange thing is the socks in the shoes, the socks are also black and white, but the black and white socks are the opposite of the color of the shoes, black shoes with white socks, black socks with white shoes, and both shoes actually have a hole.
