After a long time, there was a knock on the door outside, and the Taoist priest who left just now told him through the door that the unscrupulous people outside the temple had gone down the mountain and left, and they could come out.

Step out of the humble door and look at the surrounding strange mountains. The peaks and mountains are beautiful, and the mountains are guarded. Everything is so vibrant, everything is so harmonious and beautiful. I can't help but have a poem in my heart - people should be poetic dwelling!

On the purple and yellow hall, the old Taoist priest recited words in his mouth, bowed three times and bowed to insert the lit sandalwood into the middle of the incense burner, and I and the child hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed to the incense, and exited the hall together after the ceremony.

When we went out, we saw the merit tablets around the corridor, we all took out our wallets and wanted to donate some incense money, but we didn't expect to be stopped by the old Taoist priest, pointing to the hundreds of merit tablets engraved with different names and numbers around and said, "These are the names of the good people who have paved the way for the repair of this temple for hundreds of years, and we are very grateful, chanting day and night." Now that the materials are sufficient, the construction is complete, and there is no need for money for the time being, so send your good wishes to other places that need it more." After speaking, he led us all the way to the big tree near the parking lot on the mountainside, took the short knife from the hand of the accompanying "young" Taoist, cut off two green branches with a length of one inch and the thickness of a short thumb from the tree, and handed them over, saying: "This laurel tree has a history of more than 1,400 years, it was planted by the first generation of the Holy Ancestor of Benguan, and it has given spirituality, and there is a return date for karma.

The two of us, who were holding the branches, were confused, and were about to ask the "young" Taoist priest, but they didn't expect him to bend down and give a hand salute and turn away.

The ancient temple is deep and secluded.

We had no choice but to play with the branches in our hands all the way while discussing where to go down the mountain. Passing by the Guanyin Pavilion, the old woman was still on the second floor of the Guanyin Zen Pavilion, I hurriedly walked over, before I had time to open my mouth to salute, I didn't expect the old woman to point to the branches in our hands and said loudly: "No need to be polite, is this a gift from the master?" It seems that you have a fate with Benling Mountain, so if you encounter an insoluble puzzle one day in the future, you may remember to bring a branch to make a wish, remember", after waving our hand, let us continue to go down the mountain.

Towards the basket beam, twilight Wudang. The beautiful scenery of Liangshan really lives up to its name. The scenery down the mountain is very different from the uphill. When you go up the mountain, you can look at the sea of clouds, and when you go down the mountain, you can only listen to the pine waves.

Probably because the experience of the Taoist temple just now shortened the distance between each other, the child was no longer wary and took the initiative to tell me some basic information.

His name is Gao Lin, and his father is the CEO of a large group company on the southern coast that has attracted investment from the city in recent years. Two employees at their company's headquarters stole part of the patented technical information of the technical department in order to jump to a competitor, and were sued by his father's company and demanded sky-high compensation. In order to force his father to withdraw the lawsuit, the two men took the risk of running to this inland city to take advantage of the gap between his school and the bodyguards to send him away, snatched his mobile phone and took him hostage to this remote place to prepare for negotiations. For security reasons, his phone has GPS location, and his bodyguards are also well-trained, so it should be easy for his family to find him in the event of an accident. He has always been asked not to have easy contact with the outside world when he came here to study, and he didn't even have much contact with his classmates, and he was at two o'clock in the school or went back to his hometown for vacation every day, so he didn't call for help as soon as he escaped today, and he didn't call the police. Due to his average grades, he will be sent abroad by his family after his third year of high school, and he may not come back in the future.

The two have never known each other. The age difference is more than ten years, and there are not many topics, so I will briefly introduce myself. Then the two tacitly agreed to run all the way down the mountain.

When I arrived at the foot of the mountain, sure enough, a bodyguard-like person with a group of officials and policemen rushed towards the mountain gate, and I saw Gao Lin from a distance and shouted and cheered, and before we had time to exchange contact information, we were scattered by the crowd.

It's May back in Shenzhen, and the market has been tepid. In our spare time, we will occasionally apply for a vest in the stock bar or in the comment area, and talk about some true and false news to pass the time.

There are also no practical requirements for our recent work. In the early stage, with the repeated ups and downs of the stock price, we have collected a large proportion of the circulating chips of Muyang shares, and the intraday transaction is more light, and even sometimes we have to buy and sell each other between accounts. It's just that as the days go by, the disk is a little unbearable, and the price is rising step by step every day, and the trading volume is also gently amplified. Some prescient people and funds slowly pieced together a trace of the true face of Muyang shares from the changes in technical forms and fundamentals. In particular, those trending technical indicators are starting to show a pronounced upward character. Stochastic oscillations and relative strength indicators have also converged to a momentum accumulation pattern, forming a state of imminent breakthrough of the acceleration threshold. This is the main reference point of the school of technical analysis.

On the last day of this month, Muyang shares issued a suggestive announcement on major matters and applied for temporary suspension. The next day, Muyang Co., Ltd. officially issued an equity transfer announcement, and the largest shareholder transferred 31% of its shares to Shenzhen Zhengfang Investment Co., Ltd. As a result, it constituted a major asset restructuring and applied for a one-month suspension of trading.

Xiao Yuan did not arrange for us to go back to the science and technology park this time. He and the company's executives are busy with independent financial advisors, auditors, valuators, law firms and other intermediaries to carry out due diligence and data collation and other related work on the target company. So we and other city team owners were arranged to go on vacation to Dalian, which is known as the "North**".

On the morning of leaving, Tang Feng drove me to the airport.

The rain in midsummer in Shenzhen is really urgent and heavy, even if the wipers have danced fast, the pouring rain still pours out the blur of vision like a waterfall. We drove very slowly all the way, Tang Feng's expression was a little serious, and several times he seemed to have something to tell me, but he didn't speak.

I thought it was about the stock, so I comforted: "This time the stock is really going to rise, don't worry, it's okay."

He looked at me, shook his head, and said, "It's not because of stocks, but I do have something I want to discuss with you."

"Say, who are the two of us," I looked at him disapprerovingly.

"Hmmm... I'm thinking about a different job", he organizes the language and says word by word.

I looked at him in amazement, wondering how he could have such an idea.

"I know you're surprised, but you'll have to listen to me," he added. "I am the chairman's bodyguard, you know, although I also hold the leadership position of the company's security department, but that is only a formality, most of the time it is the deputy who is in charge of management; What's more, my profession is a job that eats youth, and it will become more and more worthless as I get older, and it has no room for development, if I think about the future, I should take advantage of the leader's appreciation for me now, and find the right opportunity to jump out, even if the position is a little lower, and it doesn't matter if the challenge is a little bigger."

I didn't speak, and from the bottom of my heart I agreed with what he said, and even admired his courage a little. Not everyone in this world has a clear understanding of what they want and how to achieve it, especially if you need to give up some of your immediate interests. Gaining and then losing is far more painful than having nothing.

"I'm afraid you have another reason, or maybe you have a good way out now?" I thought about it for a moment and asked him.

"Well, both." He replied truthfully.

"You actually have some doubts about the relationship between Situ Yue and me, right? Although I didn't make it clear every time, in fact I had been with her for a long time, I never dared to say yes to her. You know that I am just an ordinary veteran from a poor county, and even my college degree was passed in the army, and her family background is an existence that you and I can't imagine and can't reach, so it can be said that we are people living in two worlds, but because of the work environment, there is an intersection. Although she said every time that she didn't care and didn't ask me to be anything, that essential gap could not be avoided no matter what. What's more, she is also very good, and in the face of the differences in the taste and spiritual world in my future life, I may be overwhelmed. I couldn't bear to hurt her, but I wasn't willing to give up on her. So I can only choose to change and make myself grow and become stronger!" He said a lot in one breath, as if he wanted to exhale all the depression that had been held in his stomach at once.

"And now that the company is going public, the group is making strategic adjustments, and there are indeed some suitable opportunities for me to go out and give it a try." He added.

I was completely silent, looking at his glamorous appearance every day, how do I know that there are so many depressed and sad heartaches behind him, I understand the sadness in his heart, these senseless struggles may be unsolvable in the face of many realities. Just like the rows of neon high-rise buildings outside the window, its grandeur is actually only the wealth and glory of a few people in this city. The fate of most people is just to find a habitat for survival in the cracks behind the glamour. The most terrible thing in life is not failure, but living while regretting.

The car was parked at the airport, and Tang Feng accompanied me to the terminal with my luggage. When I arrived at the security checkpoint, I stopped to pat the water stain on his shoulder and said solemnly: "No matter what the future holds, I will support you!" ”

When he heard this, he grinned happily and punched me hard in the shoulder, "Take care!" ”

I don't know when the rain outside has already lightened. The early morning sun shines through the mist on the glass of the departure hall, refracting a multicolored halo, like divine light spreading on our faces in a circle...

History has proven time and again that the old decadent and backward ideas will always test the new forces again and again with a self-interested attitude and a critical vision, and even destroy and resist them when they threaten their historical mission and status. It's just that they forget that the purpose of human beings is to continue to move towards a higher way of survival and the ambition to achieve the ultimate ideal, so when we focus on the emptiness of life and consider the impermanence of glory and wealth, we may be walking on the road of flattery and self-depravity...
