My name is Xia Yu, I am 19 years old, and I am a monk.

When I was 14 years old, because I was out playing with a friend, he stole someone else's things, which were very important to the owner, and after being caught, he framed me and made me take the blame, so that I lived in the abuse of others.

When he was fifteen years old, his father found a little wife outside, and after his mother found out, he divorced his mother. My mother went back to her parents' house and found someone to marry, but I was left behind with my father and lived with a boy older than me brought back by my stepmother, and I was humiliated.

Because I was naughty since I was a child, and I was framed two years ago, and now my mother has been divorced by my father and left me behind, I am often talked about by people in the town.

Some say that I am a child who has a mother but does not want a mother, and some say that I have a bad character, and I don't even want to take my biological mother with me, and there is a lot of public opinion around me.

At first I was very resentful, and for a while I didn't even go out because I was afraid that people would talk about me when I went out. Later, I slowly figured it out, and my mouth grew on them, and I couldn't control what they wanted, so I let them say it, anyway, I knew the facts.

When I was seventeen years old, I couldn't stand being bullied by the children brought by my stepmother at home and lived a humiliated life, so I left home.

After wandering for a year, it was difficult at first, begging everywhere to find food during the day, and sleeping in a ruined temple at night. Later, he was so hungry that he ran to a restaurant to steal something to eat, and was caught and beaten violently. The kind-hearted shopkeeper couldn't bear to see me like this, so he tried to dissuade me and take me in to be a partner in this restaurant.

In the year I worked as a partner in the restaurant, I was calculated by my colleagues and customers, and even broke my arms and legs several times if I hadn't come forward to solve the problem by the shopkeeper.

Later, I knew the reason, because I was too old-fashioned, didn't like to talk, and had a straight face to the guests, so some people would see me unhappy and want to teach me a lesson.

Characters like "Smiling Tiger" are the best to survive in restaurants, and sometimes they can be rewarded with some money when they say something nice in front of people with deep pockets.

In the past year, I have slowly understood the sinister nature of the rivers and lakes, the deceitful and the calculation is everywhere, and most people will regard interests as the most important.

When I was eighteen years old, I smiled and told me that I was okay because I accidentally knocked over a guest's meal while serving it, and the soup spilled on his spotless robe. Just when I thought it was okay, two young men next to him stopped me and asked me to lose money.

Although I was very annoyed in my heart, I thought that this incident was also because I accidentally knocked over the dish, and the clothes on his body knew that they were expensive at a glance, so how could it be just like that.

So I cautiously asked:

"I don't know Childe, how much do you have to lose?"

The young man in white smiled, stretched out three fingers, and said, "One point is not more, one point is not less, three hundred taels." ”

When I heard that it was three hundred taels, I was immediately angry, not to mention that I, a poor ghost, had earned a total of three taels of silver in this short period of time, and I couldn't afford to pay it at all. No matter how good the material of your clothes is, it won't cost three hundred taels, this is obviously bullying.

Although I was very dissatisfied, I still discussed with the young man with a reasonable attitude: "Childe, this dress is too expensive, and the villain really can't afford it." Besides, your clothes are not more than three hundred taels, who can afford to wear such expensive clothes. ”

Although I know that the identity of the young man in white in front of me is definitely not simple, he is either rich or expensive, but I am like this, I don't care if I have anything to say, and I don't care if I offend people.

As soon as these words came out, a young man scolded me: "Bastard, my son-in-law is the eldest son of Master Li Minglin, the magistrate of Chengwai County, Zhengqipinjing County, who was personally canonized by the Holy Lord today. ”

"You are also a stinky boy working in a small restaurant, how can you know people like our son. This white bird cloud dress is the best cloth village in the Lijiang River custom-made, the construction period alone is half a month, and it is even more rare silkworm ice silk, ask you to ask you for three hundred taels to pity you This morning is not easy to work hard in the dark, but you don't know what to do. Another young man also said.

I glanced at the clothes of the young man in white, and found that the place where the vegetable soup was spilled was only the size of a finger, and then I moved my eyes to the young man and said:

"Childe, Xiao's status is low, it is indeed not as good as you, and compared to you, it is even more unheard of, you should not use this as a reason to deceive the villain.

Others may bow their heads and compromise, but I won't. Although my Xia Yu is from a humble background, I also know what is wrong, I just accidentally knocked over the vegetable soup and sprinkled it on your clothes, just a little bit, but you opened your mouth is three hundred taels, not to mention whether I can take it out, anyone who has these three hundred taels will choose to pay you, fools know that you are in the frame.

Besides, I can't do it, and the two little brothers don't tell me what Li Minglin's eldest son is, what a seven-rank official or something, for me, I don't even know these things, I don't believe that I can't come up with the money, you can kill me? ”

For this kind of person, compromise is useless at all, it will only expand his conquest spirit, make him feel that you are a bully, and make it even worse.

As for what they said about the magistrate of Chengwai County, I am not afraid at all, and those who are officials must know right from wrong. Although I am at fault for this matter in the first place, I have apologized and accepted compensation, but his request is too much, and the most unsatisfactory thing for me is to bully others.

"Bastard!"

Hearing this, the young man in white became angry and punched me in the face, and then the two young men also knocked me to the ground, punching and kicking me.

The three of you punched me and kicked me like this, punching and kicking, and scolding me while fighting. I wanted to resist at first, but I was already weak, all three of them were strong, and I don't think I could beat one person, let alone three.

Just when I secretly thought that there was a big event today, and it was estimated that I would be beaten and I couldn't take care of myself or where I was beaten, a voice came:

"Trouble the three little brothers in the private room to stop, if you continue to fight like this, I'm afraid this kid won't be able to hold on."

The voice was that of an old man, somewhat hoarse.

Then the door was opened, and the old man in Xuanyi, who thought he had a childish face, walked in.

Seeing this, the three of them stopped beating me, and looking at the old man, the young man in white said angrily:

"Old gentleman, I advise you not to be troublesome, at this time, it was this guy who offended me first, and he spoke disrespectfully to me, I must teach him a good lesson."

An attendant scolded directly: "Where did you come from, dead old man, be careful that grandpa abolish you." ”

The eldest of these three people sings white faces, and the second and third children play black faces, which is really disgusting.

"Bang!" A bang.

I was startled, and turned to see that there was a big hole in the window, and the retinue who had just spoken out had disappeared.

The old man was still standing in place, and said expressionlessly:

"This son is not ashamed to speak out, and he has no respect for his elders, this time Lao Dao also gave him a lesson to see, so that he knows that this kind of rebellious words can't be said nonsense."

The young man in white was already full of horror at this time, he didn't expect the old man to be so powerful, he didn't even move the entourage and was thrown downstairs, the consequences of offending the old man can be imagined.

After reacting, he regained his complexion and said to the old man respectfully:

"The Taoist chief is angry, under Li Zixuan, his father is the magistrate of Chengwai County, Jingxian County. Xiao Leizi is a cheap person, he deserves it, and he asks the Taoist not to be angry. ”

Li Zixuan reported this to his family, and the reason why he said this kind of nonsense was that he was afraid that the old man would get angry and retaliate against him, and report his identity to say that maybe the other party would throw a rat trap and not do anything to him.

But what he didn't expect was that the old man ignored him, slowly walked to my side, looked at me slowly, and muttered slightly:

"You kid, you're good."

I was stunned when I heard this, and I didn't know what the old man meant, so I asked:

"Thank you for the rescue, but I don't know what I mean? What do you mean by being good? ”

"Hahaha, you kid, I've been observing you for a while. You dare to do something wrong, and you are willing to accept the consequences, so you agree to their request for compensation, but they report out of the house, thinking of scaring you and deceiving you, but you are not afraid of these unwarranted people, but argue with them and say everything reasonably, and finally make them embarrassed and angry, but even if you are beaten, you will never bow your head, you child, you are a plastic talent. ”

Hearing the old man's words, Li Zixuan's face was extremely ugly, and the old man explicitly mocked him, and even said that his father's official was a false name, and he did not shy away from it at all.

Hearing this, I smiled faintly, touched my head and said:

"The Taoist chief praised it falsely, this is the way it is in his temperament, what is it, no matter who his father is, he wants to deceive me, then I will definitely not compromise obediently."

As soon as I said this, Li Zixuan's face on the side became even more gloomy, and his eyes stared at me deadly, if his eyes could kill people, I estimated that I would have to be killed by him dozens of times. His fists were clenched tightly, and if he hadn't been afraid of the old man, he would have rushed over and hit me.

And one of his attendants was just about to speak when he stopped him, he didn't want to offend the old man in front of him.

"Good, good, mighty and unyielding, with backbone." The old man exclaimed again. "Child, let me ask you, do you hate these mundane trivial things, and hate the deception of the rivers and lakes?"

Hearing this, I hurriedly nodded: "What the Taoist chief said is right, the current world only has interests in their eyes, they have forgotten human nature, they bully others, and they have everything that is framed and framed, and I have long hated this world." ”

"Then would you like to follow me into the mountains to practice for a few years?" The old man asked again.

Without hesitation, I nodded in agreement.

Over the years, all kinds of experiences have slowly changed my view of this world.

Working in a restaurant, I have seen too many people and things. There are women who sell their bodies because of money, and parents who sell their children. And because of power, I have also seen my wife give away my bad chaff, and I have even relied on my own strength to follow a few younger brothers, or some relationship with dogs and people, and oppress others, which is already a common thing.

People are slowly swallowed up by money and power, and humanity is gradually annihilated by interests, and I am disgusted with the environment in which I live.

The poor are worried about having enough to eat every day, but the rich are thinking about how to exploit the poor, and there is intrigue between people.

Even now, I think that people should not help each other, not calculate each other.

But people like me, in this environment, are either defeated by reality, change their minds, and slowly become rotten. Either they live at the bottom, living a life of exclusion and suppression, and it is difficult to have a chance to get ahead.

So I chose to follow the old man and escape from the world, since I can't change anything now with a single weak me, then why don't I strengthen myself, my heart, my body, my wisdom, etc., and maybe I will affect and change people's minds in the future, so that their future interests will never compare to emotions.

If I have this opportunity, I will definitely go for it, so I will not hesitate to agree.

"Okay, this Taoist name is Wang Baiyun, and the Taoist name is Baiyunzi, from today onwards, you are my apprentice, and I am your master. You and I don't need to go through the red tape of worshipping teachers, and you can just follow me into the mountain. After receiving my reply, Daoist Bai Yunzi said, and then looked at Li Zixuan and the others: "It is indeed his fault that I soiled your clothes in vain, but it is your fault to beat people. ”

"Where is it, this little road chief, I'm really sorry, it's really wrong just now, you can take this money, a little heart, buy some delicious food, good-looking clothes, and please don't go to your heart." Seeing that I was accepted as an apprentice by Bai Yunzi like this, Li Zixuan dared to make things difficult for me again, so he had to hand over this money with a smiling face.

Seeing this, I also stopped the hand he handed to me, signaling that I didn't need it. Although I have never seen so much money, since I have chosen to enter the mountain, I don't need such mundane things, and besides, I am not interested in money in the first place.

Seeing that I didn't collect money and didn't say anything, Li Zixuan felt that I was going to take revenge on him, and he looked worried.

Seeing this, I said to him: "Li Gongzi, don't worry, this matter has been revealed, and I will not hold grudges and take revenge on you, and besides, I don't have that ability." I won't collect this money in the future, and mundane things are like dung to me, so please keep it and settle the account. ”

Hearing this, Li Zixuan was like a big edict: "It's me who is stupid, the little Taoist is broad-minded, but the heart of a villain is the belly of a gentleman." Since you don't accept it, then I'll pay the money to the shopkeeper, after all, it's because of Xiao Leizi that this is the case. ”

I nodded, but didn't say anything, and the master on the side also nodded his head in approval.

Xiao Leizi was found and taken away by Li Zixuan, and he told us a lot before leaving, most of them were with us.

Although he was thrown down by the master, he was thrown on a table, and the second floor was two meters high, so he didn't have to worry about his life.

Before leaving, I talked a lot to the shopkeeper, most of which was to thank him for taking care of me over the past year.

In this way, bidding farewell to the world, I was brought back to the Taoist temple by my master, became a monk, and started a new life away from the strife of the world.
