When the flowers fall, it is autumn again.

On the outskirts of Beijing, the autumn trees are Xiao Xiao, and the fallen leaves are fluttering. The withered yellow all over the ground rolls like a tide under the merciless caress of the autumn wind, messy and disorderly, making people worry.

Li Tiantu's mood is also as depressed as this climate. At this moment, he is sitting in the southeast corner of the second floor of the outer building of the Beijing suburbs, the only place in the entire restaurant where he can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the suburbs of Beijing while drinking. But he still couldn't be happy, because today he saw the brightness of the scenery around him, which was faded by it, and this brightness was out of his reach.

Yan Mengyu, the first beauty in Beijing, is that beautiful scenery. At this time, she was sitting in a gorgeous carriage, the dark green curtain with pale green tassels on the edge was rolled up by a snow-white jade lotus, and she was looking at the late autumn scenery around her. Perhaps the beauty has not yet realized that she herself has constituted a more beautiful landscape. Here is the official road extending in all directions, there are many merchants on the road, and pedestrians all stop to watch.

Noticing that the surrounding crowd was looking at him intently, the man's soul was unguarded, the woman's envy and jealousy, and the beauty gently wrinkled the good-looking Emei, so this pleasing scenery was covered by the curtain curtain.

Looking at the unfinished expressions of the men on the official road, Li Tiantu chuckled, as a man, of course he understood their feelings, wasn't he also excited about it? Beauty, especially the stunning beauty that captivates the country and the city, can indeed make hot-blooded men crazy to the end regardless of everything. In ancient times, King Zhou You, who lit the beacon tower to tease the princes and killed the country, was the first master of the rivers and lakes in the past, Duan Tianfeng, who was angry at the crown, was angry to save the heavens, and the confidant of the Demon Sect was the enemy of the entire martial arts and rivers and lakes.

A court son of heaven, a guest of the end of the world, with very different identities, but the same love word, at this moment he seems to be able to understand the mood of these two ancestors. Whether amorous or impulsive, there will always be one or two times in the lives of sensible men who are desperate to make themselves smile. The world only knows that it is meaningless to belittle King Zhou's lustful death, but who can really understand King Zhou's feelings of not loving the country and loving beauties.

I don't love the country and love the beauty. I may be such a person. Thinking of this, Li Tiantu smiled self-deprecatingly. The rivers and mountains, the beauties, seem to be too far away from themselves. It is the "Martial Saint" Duan Tianfeng, who has the opportunity to emulate this predecessor in the rivers and lakes.

The depressed mood suddenly felt relaxed. Li Tiantu is not the kind of sentimental person, just now he just touched the scene and remembered his life experience.

Li Tiantu has no father and mother, is an orphan, and grew up in the floating cloud view on Fengshan Mountain in the northern suburbs of Beijing. The floating cloud view is built on the cliff of the mountain, standing on the top of the white clouds, more than a thousand feet from the ground, leaving the world and independent. Although the scenery around the Taoist temple is wonderful, it has not been full of incense for decades, and few people have visited. Of course, this is related to the worship of Buddha and suppression of Taoism in the Celestial Empire, which is now in charge of the world, but the most important thing is that it was a peaceful and prosperous era, and Buddhist teachings prevailed all over the world, attracting countless believers, but Taoists closed their doors and closed the mountains and ignored the worldly affairs.

But isn't this exactly in line with the true meaning of Taoism's pure nature, the unity of heaven and man?

There is only an old way left in the dilapidated floating cloud view, and the road number is mysterious. Li Tiantu was abandoned by his parents outside the Floating Cloud View since he was a child, and was raised by the mysterious old Taoist to pick up the view.

The old Taoist did not teach Li Tiantu martial arts, but only taught Li Tiantu to read and write and some simple meditation and qi exercises, and then he didn't care, and let Li Tiantu spend most of his day carrying water and chopping wood, making fires and making rice.

Such days lasted for ten years.

One day when Li Tiantu was ten years old, the old Taoist drove Li Tiantu out of the Floating Cloud Temple, and at the same time a bamboo version of the "Tao Te Ching" was thrown out, which was also the enlightenment book for Li Tiantu to learn words in his childhood.

The Tao Te Ching is a Taoist classic, which expounds the great road of the world. Nowadays, people in the world are chasing fame and fortune, and there are not many copies of the orthodox bamboo version of the Tao Te Ching.

Li Tiantu was literate at the age of five, and all he knew was the 5,000 words in the Tao Te Ching, and by the time he was ten years old, he had recited the Tao Te Ching more than 1,800 times a day. But what makes Li Tiantu strange is that the more times he reads, the more difficult he finds it to understand, which seems to contradict what the mysterious old Taoist said to him, "Read a book a hundred times, and its meaning will appear by itself".

Until today, the old Taoist drove him out of the mountain gate and left him to fend for himself, and Li Tiantu didn't have the opportunity to tell the old Taoist about the doubts in his heart.

However, the fortunate thing in the misfortune is that this bamboo version of the "Tao Te Ching", which has grown up with him and may have become an indispensable part of his life, was still thrown to him by the stingy old Tao, which gave Li Tiantu's young heart a little comfort, and at the same time made him subjectively think that the old Tao still knew himself.

The mysterious old man has an eccentric temperament and is cynical, and once decided, things never change. This year, although he was young but his mind was already mature, Li Tiantu knelt in front of the gate of the Fuyun Temple, kowtowed three times to the back of the mysterious old Taoist in the middle of the Wuli Dao Gate, and then without saying a word, he turned back and left the Fuyun Temple that had lived for ten years with the "Tao Te Ching" in his arms.

After Li Tiantu went down the mountain, he has been living on the streets of Beijing.

The ten-year-old boy left the adults to live alone, starving, cold, and endured insults, Li Tiantu suffered a lot of hardships that ordinary people could not bear, but fortunately, he was accompanied by the "Tao Te Ching" with him. People always have to find spiritual support under extreme pain, and this "Tao Te Ching" has become the only healing medicine for Li Tiantu. No matter how much pain and torture he suffered physically, as long as Li Tiantu studied the Tao Te Ching, he had a feeling of being out of his body, as if he couldn't feel pain, and some were just spiritual pleasure. The environment tempered Li Tiantu's body and state of mind, and the "Tao Te Ching" sublimated Li Tiantu's state of mind qualitatively.

I don't know if it's because of the edification of reading the "Tao Te Ching" or because of Li Tiantu's indifferent nature, he doesn't have the vulgarity that is easy to cause in a difficult environment in his bones. On the contrary, he was full of gratitude to the Divine. I am grateful to God for letting him come to this world, I am grateful to the old Taoist for raising him for ten years, and I am glad that I am strong-willed in such a difficult and harsh living environment, he can still be alive at this moment, watching the flowers of this world bloom and fall, and the clouds are rolling; Look at the pampering and humiliation in this heart, and don't be surprised, and there is no intention to stay.

It is not easy for people to live. Li Tiantu is a person who is easy to satisfy.

Perhaps Heaven is indeed grateful to those who are not thin. In the second year of his wandering life, he met a noble man who could influence and change his life.

The commander of the Praetorian Guard, Yan Wu, is his nobleman. Yan Wuregret brought him from the slum to the palace, and the errands arranged for him were enough to feed and wear. Although he did hard work, he was satisfied. Perhaps, giving him help is just an unintentional move and a gesture without regrets, but for Li Tiantu, the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by a spring. Yan's unrepentant kindness is engraved in his heart, and he has never forgotten it from beginning to end.
