Chapter 6 What? My son is a Taoist priest?
Later, my dad told me that when he saw that person, he felt very grounded. Not only is it steady, but it seems that the pressure he has been under psychologically in the past two days has also been relieved, making him feel very relaxed.
My dad had never seen the Captain Chen in the story, but when that person appeared in front of my dad, even if he was angry, he suddenly had a feeling: This person is Captain Chen!
I can't help but wonder, is this the sudden sixth sense of ordinary people?
Anyway, the man finally pushed my dad into the house and carried me out of my dad's arms.
The weird thing is that my parents didn't even be vigilant during this whole process! I was stupidly watching all the man's movements, and my mother didn't even know when the crying stopped.
Later, I heard the man talk about it, and he told me that he was using some shouting techniques when he said, "Don't go, I'm coming."
My parents were in a state of emotion at the time, so they were naturally easily "yelled".
"Sit! I have something to tell you. ”
The man sat down unceremoniously with me in his arms and motioned for my parents to sit on the edge of the bed.
My parents came to their senses after sitting down, and when they saw it, the man was playing with me in their arms.
This made them wonder, how did this man get in? Why did the child run away from him?
"My name is Chen Jidao, I just heard outside that you were looking for me? It just so happens that I'm here to take in the apprentices. ”
The man didn't raise his head, and continued to dangle his fingers in front of my eyes, teasing me, and from time to time, winking at me to sell cuteness?
The strange thing is that I, who was crying, was immediately amused by him to laugh.
It's hard for my parents, this person doesn't talk at the beginning or end, and he doesn't explain. It was only after I spent a long time with him that I realized that he spoke in such a style.
Later, when I was drinking with my father, my father recalled that when he first met Master, he described it this way:
Fear? How not to be afraid? But it's not the kind of fear that makes you very stressed, it's more like the kind of fear that a big brother sits in front of you and respects him in your heart.
Just like my dad's current state, he asked a little resignedly, "Accept apprentices?" Haven't you ever heard of a big official still accepting apprentices? ”
Yes, in the story, both Sister-in-law Liu and her sister speculated that Captain Chen was a big official in the city. This is naturally in my father's heart, and he also believes that Captain Chen is a big official!
After my dad asked this sentence, Chen Jidao slowly put me into the cradle. When I turned my head to face my parents, I already put on a very serious appearance.
My parents came back to their senses completely and began to look at Chen Jidao.
This person's appearance is not very eye-catching (conspicuous, easy to attract attention), and belongs to the kind of person who is ordinary and cannot be found at a glance in the crowd.
The whole belongs to the thin body type, the hair seems to have not been washed for several days, not to mention the dandruff, messy, and shiny.
The tattered sleeveless vest was covered with oil and stains, which made my mother, who was a little obsessed with cleanliness, resist the idea of letting him take it off and wash him.
was originally very wear-resistant cargo shorts, but he grinded out a few holes, which is popular in modern times, what are they called ripped pants. But in those days, it was a representative of poverty.
Chen Jidao is no different from a beggar, and my parents twitched in their hearts: This is a big official from the city?
Just thinking about it, my parents quickly looked at his facial features.
Well, the eyebrows are quite thick, but they are not sword eyebrows, they belong to the lying silkworm eyebrows, but they are thicker.
What impressed my parents the most was Chen Jidao's eyes, in my mother's words: clean and bright, like clear streams, people can't take their eyes off.
Just like Sister-in-law Liu's sister said, Chen Jidao's skin is as tender as a young man, but just looking at it like this, it is natural to see that his age is around fifty years old, and this mystery has always made my parents wonder.
"I'm not a big official, I'm a Taoist priest!"
As soon as I said this, my parents were shocked. What is the way of the world now? This person said that he was a Taoist priest so grandly, wasn't he afraid of being arrested and criticized?
Then he turned his head and thought about it, the leaders of the township had to smile at him, and there was nothing to be afraid of.
Chen Jidao saw that my parents didn't speak, probably guessing what my parents were thinking, he said, "Don't worry, I won't be arrested." As for my identity......"
Chen Jidao pondered for a while and said, "As for my identity, you just need to know that I am a Taoist priest, and this is also for your good." ”
Then he pointed to my mother and said, "I'm going to say two things, the first one is about you, and the second is about your son. Listen carefully to me. ”
When Chen Jidao said this, his expression was extremely serious, and my parents also sat up when they saw this.
Seeing that my parents were also serious, Chen Jidao nodded with satisfaction and continued: "First of all, Gui Fang's matter, the dream you have had since you gave birth is two different things from the story you heard, the specific reason and how I know, you don't have to know, this child is not harmful to your Zhang family, you can rest assured!" ”
According to common sense, if the person in a story appears coldly in reality, and appears so "abruptly" in the field of vision of my parents, ordinary people will maintain a certain degree of vigilance, and they will be even more suspicious of what they say!
But my parents later told me that Master Chen has a temperament that will be very convincing no matter what he says.
So my parents nodded, relieved themselves, and continued to listen to Chen Jidao.
But who knew that Chen Jidao saw my parents nodding, and actually sighed and said, "This second thing, I hope you can listen to me calmly." ”
Speaking of this, Chen Jidao paused, and after seeing my parents nodding with a hesitant expression, he spoke: "Your son and I are destined to have a master-apprentice fate. And your son is destined to learn the Tao from me! ”
Learning?
For my parents, half of their lives have been spent in this small mountain village. Their concept of Taoism comes from the stories told by their parents and some of the elders in the village.
In those stories, most of them are some big gods who cheat money. In addition, the Taoist people's demand and liking for yellow and white things have never been hidden, so the people here have no concept of orthodox Taoism at all.
So, at that time, in my parents' minds, learning the Tao was to dance the gods!
"It's those dancing gods, liaring?" My dad regretted it as soon as he said it, but the leader of the township has seen the world, and even he has to give face, how can he be a liar?
Just thinking about it, my father hurriedly said in an apologetic tone: "Master Chen, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that......"
On the other hand, Chen Jidao looked calm, waved his hand and said: "It's okay, this world is like this, and I can't blame you." I'll go on, and you'll keep listening. Your son is destined to be a Taoist priest, and I am his master, and he will inherit my Taoist lineage in the future! I can't tell you why, but in the future, you'll know! ”
At the end, Chen Jidao paused and continued: "I can't say that I am a famous family in this lineage, but there are also many rules for accepting apprentices, although fate is the first priority, but the consideration of mutual conduct is also essential!" I will eat and live with you for a few years, and in the meantime you will consider my conduct for your son. ”
It's really hard for me, the future master, to explain things so clearly according to his usual speaking style. But in order to be able to convince my parents, he also took great pains.
But my parents were stunned when they heard it.
What to eat and live together? Why do I want to be a Taoist priest? Isn't the Taoist priest a great god of jumping? Why do you still think about character?
These questions were in my parents' minds, and they didn't know what to say for a while......
