The old man was stunned for a while, and hurriedly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I see that you are a good person, I believe that God will favor you, maybe it's fine." After speaking, the old man nodded at the old carpenter Xun.

Xun Lao Carpenter didn't take the last words seriously at all, and if God favored him, he would not be born disabled.

When the old man saw it, he was full of joy and praised him for his good craftsmanship and did not find the wrong person, and finally the old man gave the old carpenter shell coins.

The old carpenter Xun thought that the old man was at home alone, and it seemed that the family was also poor, so he only accepted half of the old man's money, and the old man did not refuse, and sent the old carpenter out of the mountain with a smile.

Out of the mountain, it was completely dark, Xun old carpenter thought to go faster, when passing the door of a villager in the village, the villager opened his eyes wide, looking at Xun old carpenter's face is incredible.

"Master Xun, how can you run away, I saw you still limping yesterday?" the villager called out to the old carpenter Xun and said in surprise.

When the old carpenter heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and at this time he looked down at his legs, and it was no longer long or short, and he just thought about walking faster when it was dark and didn't notice it.

Xun Lao Carpenter's chest rose and fell rapidly, his face was excited, and he stumbled around in place, and sure enough, he moved freely.

"My feet are healed, I'm not crippled anymore, I'm finally normal. He danced with joy. pinched his face hard, only to feel that he was not dreaming.

The old carpenter Xun, who had been happy for a while, finally came to his senses, and thought of what the old man said to him in the afternoon, at this time, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that the old man was not simple.

The next day, early in the morning, the old carpenter Xun got up and wanted to follow the road to see the old man again, but no matter how he went, he could no longer find the house.

Old Carpenter Xun remembered very well that he was around yesterday, and he finally knew that he had met an immortal.

Since then, the old carpenter Xun has been even more helpful, he believes in the old man's words, good people will always have good rewards, and, since then, the old carpenter Xun has been free of illness and disaster, which should be the reason for the old immortal.

Xun Yuandu, the son of Xun Lao carpenter, is a scholar, but he has repeatedly failed to enter the company.

The heat and coldness of the world made him decide to give up the pursuit of his career, abandon the worldly fame that he was eager to seek, and become a monk to seek the way.

After being instructed, Xun Yuandu came to a cave and wanted to worship Xiang Wucheng as a teacher.

Wucheng Dao Changhui looked at him, looked up and down, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, and then said to him slowly: What do you want to learn? ”

Xun Yuandu didn't think much about it, but said sincerely: "The disciple just wants to learn the Tao." ”

Therefore, the Master of the Unattained Dao gave him a sermon every day and taught him to meditate and practice.

One day a few years later, Wucheng Dao Chang called Xun Yuandu and said to him: He wants to build a magnificent palace. But the funds were insufficient, so he wanted Xun Yuandu to go to the bustling street market at the foot of the mountain to sell rouge during the day, and come back at night to continue meditating and cultivating.

Xun Yuandu saw that the master had already ordered it, and the only way to be a disciple was to obey.

Xun Yuandu asked: "Master, the disciple is poor, where can I get rouge?"

The head of the Wucheng Dao pointed to a pile of stones, and in an instant, these stones all turned into the finest rouge, and there were several large boxes.

Xun Yuandu was very puzzled, the master has a bit of a skill of turning stone into gold, why bother to let his disciples run around the world and make money?

Doubts are questions, and the most important thing for a cultivator to follow the Master's wishes.

So, as soon as Xun Yuandu dawned every day, he picked up the rouge and went down the mountain with full reluctance.

Xun Yuandu was originally a shy person, and he was not used to shouting and selling in the market, like a man.

So at the beginning, Xun Yuandu stood in a quiet place with few people, lowered his head, and said in a buzzing, mosquito-thin voice: Sell rouge, sell rouge. Occasionally, a passer-by has to listen carefully to hear his cries.

Wucheng Daoist stood not far away and looked at him, seeing that he was a cultivator, and he was so afraid of the world, while looking at it, Daoist shook his head, then turned into a rude butcher, carried a knife, came to Xun Yuandu's side, and asked him what he was doing?

Xun Yuandu lowered his head and said with a red face: "Rouge seller." ”

The butcher suddenly made a loud noise, covered Xun Yuandu's face with a knife, and said in a loud voice: "What are you talking about?" ”

Xun Yuandu cleared his voice, calmed down, looked at the knife, and said tremblingly: "Rouge seller." ”

The butcher said, "If you sell it, you have to shout it." The street is so noisy, your voice is so small, who can hear it clearly! If your voice is so quiet, I will chop up your cargo box. ”

Xun Yuandu really doesn't understand, looking at the people who come and go in the market, in an orderly manner, such a scoundrel suddenly appeared, and if he wants to fulfill his master's wishes, he has to sell out the rouge as soon as possible.

After letting go, Xun Yuandu overcame his timidity, and gradually shouted and sold naturally.

In the world, what you see is naturally mundane, scolding, fighting, flirting, children crying, ruffians making trouble, and there is no peace.

It is conceivable that Xun Yuandu's misanthropy is over.

When I came back every night to meditate, my heart was disturbed. He didn't want to ask the master, so he had to think and understand for himself.

Later, I realized that the heart of a cultivator is for the sake of cultivation, and if the heart is in the Tao, it will naturally be able to stay away from the world, so what are you afraid of?

A month has passed, and Xun Yuandu has not even sold a box of rouge.

Sometimes I can't help but cry out to myself: "How can it be more difficult to sell rouge than to cultivate the Tao?"

Later, however, he gradually understood that since the master asked him to sell rouge, he would happily sell it.

If you want to sell goods and make money, you have to know who uses rouge.

Xun Yuandu thought about it, ordinary women's families, prostitutes in Qinglou, court concubines, and wealthy businessmen's favorite concubines are all used.

But after thinking about it, if you sell rouge, you have to contact women, so how can you cultivate the Tao?

It's really sad to be a woman.

If you want to talk to others, you have to look at them, and after they apply rouge, you have to say whether it is suitable or not, whether it looks good or not.

One day, Xun Yuandu thought that both men and women are people in the world, and they are all people. He was also a monastic, a man who transcended the world. How can everything in the world, including people, be able to move my cultivation aspirations? Thinking of this, Xun Yuandu no longer felt that there was anything embarrassing about coming into contact with people. My heart calmed down.

He began to contact all kinds of people, because he controlled his heart, so the world of flowers, in Xun Yuandu's eyes, was dark and dark.

Is it earthly, isn't it weird?

At this point, a fairy in the heavenly palace saw Xun Yuandu's idea and moved, so she went down to the next life and turned into a young girl, so she made a thousand charming gestures to try Xun Yuandu.

Although Xun Yuandu can't meditate and practice when he sells rouge during the day, his heart is always in the center, and he is naturally not moved by women.

The fairy saw that Xun Yuandu was determined, and after leaving, she turned into an old and decrepit lady to buy rouge.

After the noble lady bought the rouge, she immediately applied it to her face, and instantly saw that her pearlescent appearance was restored to a beautiful young woman. When everyone saw this, they were amazed that there was such a miraculous rouge in the world.

The news spread all over the market, and everyone came to buy rouge.

On that day, when the Queen Mother entered the temple to worship the Buddha, she saw the crowds on the street, and couldn't help but be curious, so she sent someone to ask what was going on.

When he knew the magic of rouge, he immediately invested 10,000 shells to buy all the rouge.

Xun Yuandu looked at the many shell coins, thinking to himself, Master's wish can finally be fulfilled, happily picked up the shell coins, and returned to the mountain to report to the master.

Halfway through, he saw a team of military horses, trying to insult a group of young girls who were picking flowers.

Since ancient times, chastity has been important, how can we stand idly by?

shouted and sold for a long time, so that Xun Yuandu's voice was no longer shy, but as loud as a bell.

Xun Yuandu said: "I have 10,000 shell coins, and I am willing to give them all to the generals, and I hope you will let these innocent girls go." ”

When the generals saw that the two loads of shell coins were within reach, they immediately smiled, and they were very happy, and immediately promised Xun Yuandu to let these girls go.

It's really impermanent, there was 10,000 shells just now, fulfilling Master's wish to build a palace, and in a blink of an eye, there was nothing.

Xun Yuandu was inevitably a little disappointed, returned to the mountain, and told Wucheng Dao Elder one by one.

In fact, the Wucheng Dao Master has been watching Xun Yuandu's cultivation, turning into a different person, looking at him back and forth, left and right, and if there is a slight mistake, he will immediately ignite.

Listening to Xun Yuandu's narration, Wu Chengdao pointed to the top of the mountain, and Xun Yuandu saw a beautiful palace. The Taoist chief said, "You have already helped me build the palace." This is the palace that you built on the mountain when you sold rouge, and your heart was not moved by the world. ”

Xun Yuandu couldn't help but say "wow": "It turns out that this is business!"
