Master must have realized that his limit was approaching. On this day, the master suddenly improved his spirits, and asked me to help him get up and sit down in the courtyard, and said: "I know that I estimate that I will not live long, fortunately Lao Tzu still has a pair of discerning eyes, your small baby is stronger than Lao Tzu back then, and I can be regarded as having an explanation for the older generation when I got there. ”

I cried and comforted, "Master, don't think too much, you are in good health, and you will have no problem living for another hundred years." ”

The old man laughed and said: "Lao Tzu was born in Jiaqing for 18 years, lived for 108 years, has done a lot of good and bad things, killed more than a dozen wicked people, slept with the most beautiful sister, and died all his life. ”

The old man sighed and said, "Dongliang, get the wine, Lao Tzu will drink it again and go on the road." ”

I cried and hurried to fetch wine for Master, and when I came back, Master's head was already tilted to the side, and he had already driven west. I knelt in front of the master, and cried bitterly, although the master and apprentice time is not long, but the affection is deep, for more than a year, the master is to teach each other, there are questions to answer, so many years have passed, every time I think of that time, I can't help but have too ruthless free time, but for the master himself, maybe he does feel that there is no regret, people have that day sooner or later, in his words, this life is worth it.

I chose a tomb with excellent feng shui for Master, and that day I put on a red robe, stepped on the Bagua steps, held the Eight Treasures Bronze Bell, held the knife in my hand, and chanted the Tima Divine Song "Song Mutuo" to bid farewell to Master.

Since the death of the master, I began to do the Dharma and feng shui for people alone, the master Yu Wei still exists, and I am also more and more proficient, half a year down to do a little famous, but at that time the believers are less and less, Taoist monks and monks still come to grab business, a month down sometimes is simply beyond the means, and have to rely on the family to help barely live.

This year, my family finally contacted me for work, and went to the county police station on an errand, and it is said that there were several layers of relationships, and finally my brother contacted a high-ranking official in the province, and finally waited for the position, and many people fought for this position. However, I refused on the spot and returned to my grandparents' house that day. My dad really had the heart to kill me, so he went to the town and carried a wooden stick all over the world to look for me, but fortunately, my mother quietly asked someone to tell me not to go home for a few days, otherwise I would inevitably be beaten.

Since then, my dad has never looked me for a job. But things are so strange sometimes, because of the reappearance of a person, my newly started career in Tima is also at the end, and the elusive Tuesday Mao reappeared.

That day, I had just finished reading Feng Shui to a family who was going to build a new house, and after dinner, I took a boat back to town. As soon as I went back to my grandmother's house, suddenly a familiar figure appeared in front of me, it turned out to be really Tuesday Mao, I haven't seen it for more than a year, this kid has gained weight, combed a popular big back, is sitting there and my grandmother is homely, I am happy to say: "Ermao!" ”

As soon as Mao heard my voice on Tuesday, he also jumped up excitedly and said: "Oh, Erwa, I found you so miserable, did you offend your father, I almost didn't get blown out by your father when I went to your house." I just found out about your situation, no, it's coming non-stop. ”

I laughed and said, "Dog day things, it's been a year and a half, where did your baby go, and if you don't appear again, I still think you're dead." ”

Ermao also laughed and said: "I heard that your baby is not a good policeman, and you came to dance the god, you can do it, Erwa!" Now you don't have to jump your mind, you have to do something. ”

I said, "What do you mean?" ”

Ermao said: "We can do business." ”

I said, "What's the business?" ”

Ermao said with a coaxing look: "If you want to do any business, you can do any business!" ”

I said strangely: "Your baby hasn't seen you for more than a year, and it's developed!" ”

Ermao glared: "What am I developed, we are developed!" ”

I wondered, "We? Lao Tzu can't make ends meet for a day, develop a hammer!"

Ermao patted his chest and said, "Since I entered the house, you have been developed!" ”

I said, "What do you mean?" ”

Ermao said mysteriously: "You don't care about the rest." ”

Then he took out a piece of paper from his handbag and said, "Yours!" Deposited in the Bank of China. In 1912, the former Daqing Bank was reorganized and established the Bank of China.

I was taken aback and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Ermao whispered softly in my ear. My jaw dropped in shock, "So many?!" Are you playing tricks? ”

Ermao laughed and said: "Lao Tzu has two five or five points, and neither of them suffers." We'll go back tomorrow and start a business and be the owner. ”

We went back to my room and continued drinking, and I asked, "Where have you been for the past year and a half?" ”

Ermao took a sip of wine and said: "Speaking of which, your baby definitely doesn't believe it, brother, I am also half a person on the road." ”

I was taken aback and whispered: "Your baby is also hi (joining) Brother Pao?" ”

Ermao glanced at his mouth and said, "What is Brother Robe, I've been studying in Shanghai for more than a year!" ”

I smiled and said, "What are you studying?" ”

Ermao said: "Learn to identify antiques." Erwa, let me tell you, I have really seen it in Shanghai for more than a year. I didn't expect this thing to have so many doorways... ”

The more I listened, the more amazing it became, and said, "Your baby went to learn to identify antiques?" ”

Ermao said: "Yes, there is definitely something to do in this industry." ”

I said, "What's the matter?" ”

Ermao said: "Look at you, stay in this poor ravine every day, you don't know what to do, Chinese antiques and foreign foreign devils like it very much, now over there in London, a Tang Sancai can easily more than 10,000 oceans, not to mention any blue and white porcelain, famous calligraphy and painting, etc., are astronomical." Ermao swallowed and said.

At that time, I really didn't know much about this industry, and I didn't expect that the outside world would stir up antiques to such an astonishing extent.

I asked Ermao, "Then are you going to do the antique business?" ”

Ermao said: "Let's just go to Beiping, the cultural relics market there is large, the basic conditions are good, and the development is fast." ”

The two of you chatted all night, but I was still very hesitant, after all, I had just started to do Tima alone, I told Ermao what the master said before he died, Ermao said: "You sometimes can't turn your brain, your master didn't say that you should carry this thing forward, just said that you will pass it on in the future, you are good, and you will do it yourself." There are still many people who believe in this, and when you make a lot of money in the future, it's not too late to take your time and carry it forward. I think that if you don't carry it forward in a few decades, the government will carry it forward. ”

Unfortunately, when the government really carried forward this business as a cultural heritage, it would have been almost 70 years since I left the mainland.

But thinking of what Mao said on Tuesday, I can figure it out, so let's do it. The next day, the two of them packed up their things and left my grandmother's house. If we had gone to Peking the next day, it is estimated that there would have been no follow-up. But because Ermao temporarily said that he would deal with the family's old house and his parents were saying goodbye, it would be delayed for two days, and then things changed significantly, so we continued to stay in Wuling Mountain.
