By the stream in front of a few few green houses, an old man dressed in a Confucian shirt and a Confucian crown is sitting on a smooth bluestone fishing.

The stream is as clear as the realm, the sound of the stream is as crisp as a bell, the creek is only a few inches deep, you can see the round pebbles at the bottom of the stream at a glance, but you can't see a fish, the old Confucian holds a rod in one hand and holds a book in the other. Lao Ru did not look at the fishing rod, but his hand was very steady, Lao Ru's eyes have always been on the thin book in his hand, Lao Ru finished reading a page, his own breeze blowing, and the pages of the book also turned over with the wind.

When the old man finished reading the last page, he closed the book and looked at the fishhook. Seeing that there were still no fish on the bait, the old man turned the first page of the book again, but paused again, closed the book again, and turned his head to look at the young man who was taking a nap in the shade under the ancient locust tree.

The trunk of the ancient locust tree is very thick, covered with a lot of old bark, but the leaves are extremely luxuriant, and the old people fishing by the stream are also included in the shade.

The young man was probably in his twenties, dressed in a green shirt, with crowned hair, and an extremely handsome and fair face, lying on a bamboo chair.

The old man looked at the young man and asked with a smile, "What do you think, senior brother?"

The young man heard the old man's voice, slowly opened his eyes and replied, "Not bad"

"I also think it's not bad, but it's a pity, but because of this, it's good to be worthy of the senior brother" The old man no longer had the fishing rod and book in his hand at this time, and he didn't know where to put it away, so he completely turned around and sat opposite the young man.

Seeing that the old man turned around, the young man also sat up straighter.

"Last night's events were not small, I think it alarmed a lot of people, I am still young, and I am still too tender to do things" After speaking, I found that the young man on the bamboo chair looked at him a little playfully, and the good man was suddenly a little embarrassed, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Ahem, aha, that, that, I'm different, I'm not a senior brother, and I'm not a lot more mature now."

"Oh, then I think that immature may not be able to resist this time, so you mature find a way to help carry it!" the young man said slowly as he stared at the old man with a smile.

"Ah, senior brother, this is likely to be a conspiracy, you can't bear to let your junior brother fall into it? And the Heavenly Master, the Zen Master, and the shameless farmer did not intervene. ”

"Taoism emphasizes nature, Buddhism emphasizes cause and effect, and as for the farmers, you also said that their farmers are shameless, so they naturally won't do anything. And we readers, what do we talk about, we reason!"

"Then senior brother, what are we talking about this time?"

"I told you, I think those two kids are pretty good"

"Huh, because of this?"

"What? That's not big enough?"

"How can it be, of course the truth of the senior brother is great," the old Confucian replied flatteringly.

"Then why don't you do it, wait until I leave you for dinner."

"Do it! Do it right away! It's just that the junior brother still has a little thing to do, and the senior brother helps. ”

"If you don't ask for money, don't give anything else, get out!"

When the old man saw that the senior brother refused, his smiling face instantly turned into a bitter face, "Senior brother, the old man Du can take out his treasured green wine this time, you also know that the senior brother is poor, and the senior brother can't afford to give other things he wants, and the old man of your 'Wenyun money' is rare, so ......" Before the old man finished speaking, he saw the young man leaning on the bamboo chair again and closing his eyes.

Seeing that the young man was unmoved, the old man continued without giving up: "Senior brother, you know the junior brother, if you don't have good wine to drink, the junior brother will be easy to talk nonsense, if you accidentally tell your current appearance and this little world What young lady, shopkeeper Xiao, and ......"

The old man wanted to speak, but the old man did not dare to say it, because the old man found that the young man had opened his eyes and looked at him with a smile.

The old man hurriedly laughed and said, "Ahem, ahem, just kidding, just kidding, junior brother, what young lady do I know there, shopkeeper Xiao, senior brother, don't worry, junior brother won't talk nonsense." ”

"But senior brother, wine is my life, senior brother, do you remember the master who asked you to take good care of me when he left......?

"It's been a few years since the master was gone," the young man interrupted the old man's fond memories.

"Yes, I was only eighteen years old that year," the old man sighed

The old man wanted to continue to sigh, but when he saw the young man raise his hand, a golden brass coin with a layer of white mist attached to the surface of the round square hole floated towards him, and the old man reached out to catch it, only to see that the copper coin had the word "righteousness" on one side and the word "sincerity" on the other.

The old man was a little surprised, because this is a double-sided double-character jade mist money, the general ordinary "Wenyun money" is just like the copper coins cast by the folk dynasty, but the two sides are wordless, and the number of Wenyun contained in it is also different, Wenyun is based on the "money maker" around the body of the Wen Qi rhyme, the "money maker" can not determine the quality level of "Wen Yun money", the money depends on chance, even if some people carry a lifetime of "money sheath" by their side, they can not make an ordinary "Wen Yun money".

And the attached word money is the chance in the fate, and the attached word money is divided into single-sided money and double-sided money. And what the word is is determined by the qi of the "money maker" when the money is made.

Single-sided money has only one side of the word, generally only one word, which is the most common word money.

Double-sided word money is double-sided words, and the number of words is generally one side and one word.

The word fog money is the word money with the fog outside, the fog color is different, caused by the rhyme of the money, this kind of money is the most precious and rare.

The old man saw that his senior brother gave him a double-sided and two-character jade mist money, and the wrinkles on the old man's face were squeezed together with a smile, forming a ravine. The old man was reluctant to exchange this money for wine.

"Thank you, brother, I know that my most beloved brother is the most generous"

"This money is not for you," the young man's voice rang out

"Hmm, it's not for me!!What do you mean?"

"It's useless if you want this money, give it to the boy. The young man said lightly.

"The Zen master left him a piece of Bodhi leaf, plus this Wenyun money of yours, senior brother, I am afraid that it will be unbearable with his current life. ”

"Senior brother, God doesn't take it, but suffers from it. Whether it's good fortune or murder, it's true. Whether it is the Bodhi leaf of the Zen master or my Wenyun money, he has to endure it, and he must also bear it. ”

At the end, the young man murmured in a low voice, "Destiny, how can it be so easy to change." ”

Although the voice was small, Lao Ru still heard the whispers of his senior brother.

Lao Ru agreed: "Yes, it's a pity, even if you spend it this time, you will become a person with a mountain root, and there is no possibility of stepping on the mountain again, but you can't be a person who leaves the mountain." People who fall down the mountain are trapped in the root of the mountain, they can't leave the mountain, they can't go up the mountain, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, but it's even more praiseworthy. ”

"Since he has gone up the mountain, even if he has fallen now, he is destined to not be able to leave the mountain, the road is his own choice, and the mountain is his own down, why is it sad and lamentable?" said the young man calmly.

"What the senior brother said is that he is now involved in murder, and I am afraid that it will be extremely hard to be a person with mountain roots. Why does this murderous life that should have dissipated have to be haunted by a person who has fallen into the realm?" the old man had a puzzled expression.

"Don't pretend to be here, I just need you to help him get through this, I don't want to care about the rest, and you are not allowed to interfere. Their road, whether it is a road or a rugged cliff, they have to walk on their own. ”

"Senior brother, I just feel pity, hey, don't talk about it. Then what should I do this time?" The old man asked.

"Don't you like to write? Just write two words."

The old man suddenly complained with a bitter face: "What do you call this, obviously the cultivation is completely lost, how can the realm be raised to another level, what's the use? It's useless! No matter how high the realm is, what's the use if you can't make it, don't say anything about it in vain, you have to make me bother." Hey, why is my life so miserable?"

The young man listened to the old man's complaint and said impatiently: "Okay, don't pretend to be pitiful here, I don't have wine, and I won't give money, but I heard that the farmer made a jar of Taoist wine with the Dao grain he planted himself, and it seems that it will become wine in just two days." ”

As soon as the old man heard this, he immediately changed his smiling face again, "Senior brother said it earlier, isn't it just two words, although it is a bit troublesome, but who let the senior brother explain it." Hmph, junior brother, I have long heard that the wine is brewed, but I can't count the time of the wine, this time to see that I don't let him bleed heavily, junior brother, I like to drink his wine while watching him angry, which is much better than drinking Old Man Du's wine. Hahaha, thank you, brother. ”

The young man had already squinted again at this time, leaning back on the bamboo chair and looking like he was going to sleep for a while, but he still closed his eyes and said, "Thank me for something, did I say anything just now?"

The old man suddenly had a clear expression, and said with a wicked smile: "Senior brother understands that it is the time when the senior brother calculates the time of drinking, and it has nothing to do with the senior brother. ”

"You can teach, let's go," said the young man with satisfaction.

"Okay" Lao Ru didn't dare to disturb his brother's sleep anymore, got up from the bluestone, walked to the locust tree, and actually walked into the ancient locust and disappeared.

There are a few green houses left here, a stream, a bluestone, a bamboo chair, an ancient acacia tree, and a green shirt.
