Chapter 10 Finally enter Maoshan Road
Don't stand on the bridge to pee. There are many taboos in the folk customs of the bridge, there is a saying that there are two roads on the bridge and under the bridge, the road on the bridge is walked by people in the yang world, and the road under the bridge is the place where people in the underworld are dying, so standing on the bridge and peeing will provoke things under the bridge. - Early in the morning
After graduating from high school, I didn't choose the university that most people dreamed of going to at that time, but I embarked on the path of learning without hesitation.
First, it's because it's a life-saving need, and I don't want to be invaded by some kind of ghost possession in the future; Second, I think catching ghosts must be more interesting than reading, because I have always wanted to catch ghosts to have fun, and I want to go to the mysterious back mountain to find out.
My parents thought it was ridiculous, but the sixth woman repeatedly emphasized that this was a life-saving, and after thinking about it again, I asked Li Jushi and I to study Taoism well, I nodded like mashed garlic, and my heart was more excited than Haizi was admitted to a prestigious university.
On the day I went up the mountain to learn the Tao, I informed my three friends.
The monkey did not enter the university and was ready to inherit his father's small business; Da Zhuang was not admitted to university, he was going to repair the car, which was arranged by his father with him, and his father felt that with the improvement of people's living standards, more and more people would buy cars in the future, saying that car repair has a future.
It also proves his father's vision, a few decades later, the car has almost established its own status like a motorcycle replacing a bicycle, and the prevalence of cars has penetrated into almost every household, whether it is urban or rural, which has almost become a necessity like a mobile phone.
In the end, Brother Haizi, needless to say, he has always had excellent grades and is diligent and studious, and we expected him to be admitted to a prestigious university.
The four brothers gathered together, ordered a lot of beer and liquor, and even Haizi, who has rarely drunk alcohol, blew out a bottle of white wine, and he shook my hand and said that he would contact his old classmates more in the future.
I looked at his slightly red face, I knew that his feelings were actually very delicate, but he kept it in his heart and didn't say it, every time something happened, he never flinched, I also held his hand tightly, nodded seriously and said there was no problem.
And the monkey was already drunk and unconscious, he drank fast and drunk fast.
said that he had always liked Li Jing, the top student in our class, but he felt inferior because his grades had always been at the bottom, so he never dared to tell Li Jing; also said that in the future, Li Jing bumped into evil and the like, but he couldn't ignore it.
And I wondered, since I had been struggling with my poor grades, why didn't I try to catch up......
Also, do you curse the girl you like so much......
Well, anyway, I don't understand the monkey, maybe he has a large brain circuit.
Da Zhuang is different, he is a natural wine fairy, although he doesn't like to drink, but he has never been afraid of anyone since he was a child, and he has never been drunk, I remember that there was a red and white wedding in his village before, as long as he was there, everyone liked to pour him; Because everyone knows that he is relatively simple and easily irritated, they all like to fight with him, and want to see what this honest man looks like when he is drunk, but later everyone found that this Da Zhuang can't be poured at all, but is more and more spiritual, and then the people in the village began to suspect that Da Zhuang is actually fake and honest, all pretended, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, knowing the wave?
Since then, the people in the village have stopped looking for him to fight for wine when they see him, and even deliberately avoided him, which shows that this person's heart is really terrible, and others bully him when they are weak; When others are strong, they hate him.
The four of them drank and drank, and the words became more and more, and the feelings became more and more abundant, I looked at the three brothers and thought that they might not see them for a long time in the future, my nose was sore, and there was something crystal in my eyes shaking, I didn't want them to see me crying, so I wiped the corners of my eyes with my hands, and then laughed and raised my glass and shouted for wine.
I don't remember how it ended up, but I clearly remember that in the end, Da Zhuang asked his father to drive a tractor to pull the three of us back.
By the time I woke up, it was already noon the next day, and the sixth woman and my parents were beside me, I was a little hungry, and my mouth was bitter, rubbing my eyes and asking Haizi, Da Zhuang and the monkey where they went.
The sixth woman said that the three of them had also gone home separately, and I nodded bitterly and said nothing more.
When my dad saw me lowering his head, he said, "What's the matter, I'm just thinking about my brothers, and how many people in the family are not at ease?" ”
"What are you talking about, stinky dad!" I pouted complainingly, hugged my father, my mother and the sixth wife, and said that I must pay attention to my body when I am not there.
"You just don't let us worry about it." My mother petted my head dotingly.
"Remember to learn Taoism from laymen." The sixth woman has always been worried that I will not study the Tao seriously, but do I dare?
The cold face of the layman, I dare to jump in front of him?
On the third day, after I packed my luggage and said goodbye to the crowd, Li Jushi personally picked me up the mountain.
Sure enough, as I expected, the so-called old place was in the dilapidated room where I lay last time.
"Stinky boy, when you come to my Taoist sect, don't think about some mundane things, just cultivate with me."
"Dao Sect?!" Looking at the clean but relatively simple room, I smashed my tongue.
"What? You haven't heard that the mountain is not high, but the name of the immortal; The water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual?! ”
"Si is a burrow, but I am Dexin. "The Burrow" written by Liu Yuxi. I rolled my eyes.
"Well, remember well, recite it to me from beginning to end!"
"Huh?" I was surprised, I came to learn the Tao, what kind of poems and ancient texts did I memorize······
"You didn't hear what I said?!" The layman frowned, his face displeased.
"Listen... I heard it... Burrow, Liu Yuxi; The mountain is not high, and there is a fairy name. The water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual. Si is a burrow, but Wu Dexin. The moss marks are green, and the grass is green. There is a lot of talk and laughter, and there is no white ding...... I was afraid that the laymen would beat people, so I hurriedly and obediently carried it out, and memorized the "Burrow Inscription" written by Mr. Liu in one go.
"Well, yes, yes, the son can be taught!" The layman closed his eyes and smiled slightly, this was the first time I had seen the layman smile, to be honest, I would rather he not laugh, because when he smiled I felt chills all over my body, and even thought it was a precursor to a storm.
At first, the layman didn't let me learn the Tao, but just let me chop wood, carry water, run, Zama step, climb the mountain and somersault every day, and there were some self-defense techniques, simple martial arts, etc., anyway, I didn't know what kind of method this is, so I asked the layman very seriously.
And the layman's answer every time is: "If you don't practice the Tao, you will end up empty." ”
And afterwards, the layman also told me that catching ghosts and monsters is indeed a physical work, without excellent physical fitness, don't even think about it, okay, then I have to accept my fate, since then I have lived a life of practicing at five o'clock in the morning and finishing work at eight o'clock in the evening, and the food is not too good, mainly vegetarian, occasionally there are a few meals of meat a week, and I have to honor the elders first, and let the layman eat first.
lived with the layman for half a year, and only visited the six women three times in half a year, and the last time was because of the gathering of the three immortals, discussing "Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism" together; I met my parents twice, and they only met the monkey once, but fortunately, that time I comfortably showed my hard-working muscles and some grappling with the layman, and the monkey was excited to go to the layman as a teacher, and when I told me that I needed to get up at five o'clock every day to smell the chicken and dance, the monkey diverted the topic and talked about some interesting things I had experienced in the past six months, and sure enough, the monkey was still a monkey, and it hadn't changed at all.
To tell the truth, the first half year of being with the layman was indeed the most painful time in my nineteen years, during which I thought of giving up, thinking of being lazy, and thinking of running away; But as soon as I thought of the happy smile of the sixth woman, the encouraging eyes of my parents, and the cheering shouts of my friends, I secretly told myself, and even pumped my big mouth to make myself more angry, and I couldn't give up the idea of learning the Tao because of this little hardship.
In the past six months, I have not learned any Taoism, nor have I seen any strange things, except for the occasional person in the village who asks the layman to go down the mountain to chant sutras and the like.
And it was then that I realized that it was not only Buddhism that could transcend the soul, but also Taoism.
Half a year later, on the ninety-ninety-eighty-first day, the layman asked me to enter the Taoist Gate and began to learn from him.
I remember that day, I bowed down to heaven and earth, bowed to Sanqing, bowed to my ancestors, bowed to my ancestors, and bowed to lay people.
It was also from that day that I officially learned Taoism with the layman, but the layman never let me call him Master, just let me continue to call him the layman, I don't know why, but since his old man asked for it, then follow his rules.
After worshipping the layman, the layman told me a lot about the taboos of learning the Tao, as well as the rules of the teacher, and many taboos that the six women did not mention or even did not know.
That night I talked to the layman until late, that night the wind was very light, that night the layman and I drank wine, it was very strong, I only drank a few sips and I was drunk, that night I dreamed of my family and monkeys, that night I slept soundly, very sweet······
