It was almost the beginning of December, the western Hubei was cold, the cold wind was blowing south, and there was a gloomy feeling along the way, coupled with the problems on my hands, which made me feel depressed.

Because we were in a hurry, and Jinping was very close to western Hubei, Zamao Xiaodao and I arrived at Badong County, which is located at the southern foot of Shennongjia, ahead of schedule. I stayed in this small city with a long history for two days before waiting for Zhao Zhonghua. Seeing us with an anxious face, the shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, shook hands with us, and said that there have been more things on his side recently, so he came late.

Asking people to do things, naturally we can't pick people who are not, we naturally say that it doesn't matter, the scenery here is beautiful, the right is to "read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles", increase knowledge. Zhao Zhonghua laughed, and then looked at the miscellaneous Xiaodao with some surprise, saying that Xiao Dao shaved his head for a long time, and left a short inch, looking strange and uncomfortable, as if he had changed a person.

Mentioning this, the miscellaneous Xiaodao was also full of complaints.

He was in the cliff of the back pavilion and in the first line of heaven, and his injuries were messy, and there were wounds everywhere, but he was so poor that he was groggy with a fever, and as a result, his hair was not only cut, but also the skin underneath. When he woke up, the long flowing hair on his head had become a thing of the past, and it was a pack of sad tears to think about. Fortunately, his injuries had the Golden Silkworm Gu drug addiction, and there were no scars on his face, which was not considered broken.

Dao Ye is not like me, he looks obscene, and with a few more scars, I really can't see it.

Because of the matter of preparing the skin, I laughed at it countless times, so I didn't have the face to mention it again, said a few whining words, and then began to ask him about his master. Zhao Zhonghua said that his master Wan Sanye pays attention to the indifference of a Taoist, and does not deliberately contact, fake model, so since the big incident in 99, he has retreated to the second line, and he has rarely contacted the master, and he has been in the past ten years, and this time he is also looking for a reason to see him.

But it doesn't matter, his master now lives in a forest in Yesanguan Town, and he knows the place.

I was a little surprised, saying that between master and apprentice, I haven't seen each other for ten years, and I can't even get through a phone call?

Miscellaneous hair Xiaodao nodded, saying that some factions of the Taoist family are indeed like this, Taoist ancestor Lao Tzu once said in the "Tao Te Ching" that "neighboring countries look at each other, the voice of chickens and dogs hears each other, and the people do not interact with each other until they are old and dead", which advocates such a realm, and many people deliberately follow it, such as Mr. Ouyang Fingers, since he left the school, he has never met with his teacher Mr. Zhang Yannian.

I nodded, indicating that I knew, Zhao Zhonghua pondered for a while, and then gave us a vaccination, saying that he came this time, and he just wanted the old man to take a look, as for whether it can be completely cured, it still needs to depend on the situation.

I smiled bitterly and said that I knew, although this hand hurt is painful, but it still can't be old, when I recite the mantra of the Buddhist scriptures, it is regarded as sharpening my mind, but recently there is a shadow in my heart, I feel that I have become the fragrant and gluttonous royal brother in "Journey to the West", especially unlucky, I have to experience ninety-nine eighty-one It is difficult, so I want to get rid of it, that is, to try a quiet.

Zhao Zhonghua laughed and said Lu Zuo, Lu Zuo, you can think about it, your head has a big scar, and you really have a sense of pride.

It was noon when we met, and Zhao Zhonghua was dusty and hungry, so he found a restaurant to have a hasty meal, and then took a car to Yesanguan.

The road conditions are good, and it takes almost an hour to get from the county seat to the town. Along the way, we were all listening to Zhao Zhonghua and us talking about the glorious deeds of his master Wan Sanye, the momentum of the plane was gushing, foaming at the mouth, and there was quite a momentum of a hundred pulpits.

Zhao Zhonghua told us that he grew up in Cangzhou, Hebei Province, where the people were fierce, and he was born in a martial arts family, and learned a good martial arts since he was a child, but at the age of eleven, because of a bet with his childhood partner, he ran alone to the cemetery outside the village to squat and exercise his courage.

Wan Sanye carried the spirit flag, and when he traveled through their village, he saw that his house was dark and angry, so Yao came in and hooked the evil ghost.

After Zhao Zhonghua got better, he felt that this thing was more mysterious than the martial arts he was obsessed with, and he didn't know how many times the Dao was mysterious, so he begged Wan San Ye bitterly to accept him as an apprentice.

As I said before, Master is the most important thing when embarking on the path of cultivation, and what we pay attention to is the word "fate".

But Zhao Zhonghua and Wan Sanye don't have much fate, it's just the relationship between saving people and being saved. However, the apprenticeship depends on the person, and some people are determined and will never accept people who are destined, such as me (because there is nothing to teach); There are also some who are not, Zhao Zhonghua followed Wan Sanye with the trick of stalking and stalking this kind of love, but as a result, the old man's heart softened, so he agreed.

After that, Zhao Zhonghua said goodbye to his parents and the old man at home, traveled north and south with Wan Sanye, learned a skill, and later joined the relevant departments.

Zhao Zhonghua respects Wan Sanye very much, and he has always called him "teacher".

The so-called teacher, preaching and teaching to solve doubts, is like rebuilding.

Zhao Zhonghua sighed, saying that he had followed Wan Sanye for ten years, but he had only learned some superficial things, and his ability was less than one-tenth of his master's. He told us that Wan Sanye had three apprentices, one was his youngest son, the other was his nephew, and he Zhao Zhonghua was the third and only disciple with a side surname, and his luck was also evident from this.

But I sighed in my heart: The reason why our craftsmen are not as good as the next generation is not only because of the end of the Dharma era, but also because of the problem of inheritance. Many people always keep a hand, and it cannot be passed on unless it is related by blood, resulting in the loss of many old things, and only some legends are left for people to mourn.

And there are many rural people who have picked up some rotten sesame seeds of old grain, swaggered and cheated, and ruined their reputation everywhere.

Declined, declined.

The real era of great industry is coming, and we will be crushed by the rolling wheels of history, far behind.

Compared with the small, small, and sparsely populated mountain towns of Dadunzi Town, Yesanguan Town can be regarded as a small town. Because railways, high-speeds, national highways, and provincial highways crisscross the city, its traffic extends in all directions, the hub location is prominent, the main town area is lined with shops, and there are many high-rise buildings, but the streets are full of traffic, and it is slightly crowded.

Three-wheeled numb cars, tractors, two-row seats, sedans, off-road vehicles, surface ...... All sorts of vehicles were crowded together and jammed.

We got off the minibus and did not stop in the town, but directly found a van, Zhao Zhonghua said an address, and went again.

The car started and drove out of the crowded town, and the scenery suddenly became brighter, and we were dizzy by the sound of the car horn before, with white clouds and red leaves, frost-stained forests, and verdant green everywhere we looked. Twenty minutes' drive from the south of the town, there is also a charming mountain lake, a lake with clear water, like the moon, quite charming.

The car walked south for another ten minutes, then turned into another country road, and finally stopped in front of a farmhouse compound on the side of the road.

There is a rushing river in front of this farmhouse compound, and behind it is a lush mountain forest, and the mountains are undulating and unobstructed.

As far as Feng Shui goes, it's a great place to live and make money.

There are no households on the left and right of this farmhouse compound, but a single building, which is very local, with a farmhouse sign hanging on it, a fish pond, and a large courtyard, where some cement pillars are erected, and many dry vines are clinging to them.

It's a pity that it's not the season, otherwise the bunches of green and purple grapes would be very tempting.

After settling the bill with the van driver, Zhao Zhonghua led us into the courtyard of the farmhouse, shouted a few times inside, and walked out of a woman in her forties and fifties. Zhao Zhonghua was holding the gift prepared in advance, and when he saw her, he called his sister-in-law. The woman was stunned for a moment, then remembered it, and warmly beckoned us to sit down on the stone bench in the courtyard, and then greeted Zhao Zhonghua.

Through conversation, I learned that this woman is Wan Sanye's eldest daughter-in-law, who takes care of the business in the store on weekdays, and is an authentic ordinary person.

As for the old man, he lived in a wooden house behind the mountain forest and rarely came out.

Knowing our intention, Wan Sanye's eldest daughter-in-law waved her hand and said that you are really unfortunate to come, the old man does not go out on weekdays, lives in seclusion in this mountain forest, and lives an isolated life, but this morning, my man's cousin came to him, saying that the child had an accident, and asked the old man to help take a look, so he went to the neighboring village in the morning, and has not come back yet? If you're not in a hurry, if you're not in a hurry, you'll be able to come back in the evening.

Zhao Zhonghua asked what was the matter?

She replied that she didn't know, and after the old man and the uncle came out of the cabin in the woods, they didn't say much, but hurried away, and couldn't even say whether they would come back or not. Zhao Zhonghua asked, do you have a phone? A: No, the old man hates electronics the most, where will he use that thing?

Zhao Zhonghua pondered for a while, turned around and discussed with us, and said that why don't we go over and look for it?

We nodded and said yes, Wan Sanye's eldest daughter-in-law called little ass, little ass in the house...... A little boy came out, her granddaughter named Wei Meimei, and asked her to take us to her uncle's house in the neighboring village.

The village was not far from here, only a few miles away, and we walked all the way, following the girl who was called Little Ass.

It didn't take long to see the village, there was a large bamboo forest in front of the village, there were several people there, we were stunned, but the girl shouted "high ......" and ran towards the bamboo forest.
