Zhang Xiaohe's eyes were spinning, and pictures flashed through his mind.

The year before last, he was looking for herbs on the edge of the cliff and saw a nest of beautiful birds, chirping, he often went to see them, and did not tell anyone. It's afraid that other kids will take them away......

Last year, when I was fishing and picking up stones in the Lingjiang River, I caught a big turtle and bit my hand hard, but I still happily dragged it home, cooked it with my mother, and invited Xu Huaigu's family to eat together......

There is also the figure of the mother doing the housework and farm work, so it really appears in front of me. Her body was as thin as before, but he could feel his mother's warmth even with his back to him.

He wanted to see his mother one last time, but she kept her back to him. Finally turned around, she smiled kindly, and said in a soft tone that she hadn't had for a long time: "Zhang Xiaohe, live well." ”

He suddenly woke up, he was still falling, and the picture just now was only in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, his body seemed to receive a strange force, and slowly fell, and then became grabbed by the back collar again, unable to move.

He looked back in panic and saw that it was still the beautiful Taoist priest. The Taoist priest also seemed to be puzzled and asked him, "Little friend, didn't you jump off the cliff?" Why is it falling so slowly? ”

Zhang Xiaohe was very confused and didn't know how to answer this strange question.

The Taoist priest asked him again: "Then if you didn't die this time, do you want to blame the poor Dao for stopping you?" ”

Zhang Xiaohe hurriedly said, "No, no...... I don't want to die. ”

The Taoist priest nodded and said, "All the world's ordinary people are like this. ”

Zhang Xiaohe hurriedly replied: "What the Taoist chief said is right, I have experienced death once, I am really afraid, and I no longer have the courage to seek death." ”

"No, that's not what I'm talking about. After all, there are all kinds of things in the world that can't let go, for example, if you see a good memory before you die, so you covet life and don't dare to die, this is a kind of obsession, it is something to rely on, and you can't let go of the wisp of worry on your shoulder, in fact, it is very wrong. ”

Zhang Xiaohe didn't understand it very well, but he could hear that he was criticizing himself, and he didn't dare to say anything in front of this Taoist priest of unknown origin, so he just nodded and acquiesced.

The Taoist priest smiled and said, "What are you nodding?" Are you afraid of me, or do you really feel like you're wrong? ”

Zhang Xiaohe didn't nod now, and he didn't nod either, so he had to look at him blankly.

"Hahaha, everyone in the world still has a long way to go. Let's see how far they can go......"

The Taoist priest randomly and silently chanted: "No, no, the Taoism is not like this, I still have the world in my heart, so I think about it, and I can't let it go, and I must take self-discipline in the future." ”

He said to Zhang Xiaohe: "You are from this village, right?" ”

"Uh-huh, yes."

"Okay, then you can take me to see the village."

Zhang Xiaohe was so confused that he didn't ask anything, and took the Taoist priest to the village.

The scene in the village was shocking, and everyone was hiding in their homes for fear of being implicated. In the center of the village, the priest's table was surrounded by a circle of corpses that had been cut in half, blood mixed with dirt and turned an eerie black.

Zhang Xiaohe only glanced at the scene of the cross-intestinal flow, and immediately turned his head to vomit.

The Taoist priest turned a blind eye, walked up to Li Zi, who was holding his father and crying, and said to her, "You are the one who made the choice?" ”

Li Zi ignored him and continued to hug her father and cry bitterly. Her father went from mumbling to talking loudly, shouting the names of those who had died, and punching himself in the head from time to time.

The Taoist priest looked at her and asked, "You saved the villagers, no one appreciates you, but to the point where you are now, do you regret it?" ”

Li Zi cried and replied, "Can you save my father?" ”

"Of course you can, but you have to make another choice. I'll kill everyone else in your village and save your father, or your father and the villagers will continue like this, so let's do it. ”

When Li Zi heard this, his expression was painful, and he said angrily: "Then kill everyone else in the village!" ”

The beautiful Taoist priest's eyes were full of appreciation, and he said, "First the lives of a few people were exchanged for the lives of the many, and now the lives of the majority are exchanged for one life." Words from the heart, without false kindness, are in line with my way. How about I take you as a disciple? ”

Li Zi asked anxiously: "Can you save my father?" ”

The Taoist priest smiled: "Of course, it is only natural for the master to help the apprentice do a little thing." ”

"Okay, then I promise you!"

The Taoist priest took out a piece of yellow paper, put it on her father's forehead, whispered a few words, and the rune paper turned into a little starlight and seeped into his body, and his father stopped going crazy and fell asleep quietly.

Seeing that her father was finally well, she cried quietly, and then wiped the sweat from her eyes, looking at this master who had just been confused, she had no feelings in her heart. Maybe there are too many things happening today, and this usually strong girl doesn't know how to face it, so she squats on the ground, and she doesn't know how to place her hands and feet.

The Taoist priest looked at the village after the catastrophe, scolded his mother in his heart, and whispered: "I know that it will be a good thing for my senior brother to call me here, how do I know what to do, it is better to let that ink dragon burn it all in one go." ”

He really felt troublesome, these ordinary villagers had no meaning and value to him, it didn't matter if he was dead or alive, but this little girl was decisive, killed, quite qualified, and likable, so there was no reason not to accept her as a disciple.

He spoke to the people in the village and said, "All of you stay in the village and do whatever you want, and no one can leave the village." It wasn't loud, but everyone in the village could hear it clearly.

Li Zi frowned and looked at him, so he added another sentence: "This...... Well, this little girl's parents can leave the village with me, but not the rest. ”

Immediately someone protested, "Why should we listen to you? We also want to live! We're going out too! ”

The Taoist priest immediately stretched out his hand to grab it, the door of the family was broken, and a person was grabbed by him in the air, clutching his throat, his face had turned blue, and he was struggling.

He stared at the man and said flatly, "You think I'm reasonable?" What does it matter to me if you live or not? I might as well tell you that the ink dragon who killed before is already very reasonable, at least ......" he accentuated his tone, "more reasonable than me." ”

The man was slammed into the ground by him, gasping for air with a frightened expression, and the others looked at it and dared to say no more.

He turned his head and said to Li Zi, "You can take your parents with me now." ”

Li Zi hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Can you wait and go, I still have to pack up my things." ”

The Taoist priest was very gentle with her and said, "Yes, but you have to promise me one condition." ”

Li Zi suddenly became nervous again and asked, "What conditions?" ”

"Of course it's your name, otherwise I'd always call you little girl?"

Li Zi didn't react a little, and looked at him in surprise, was this really the words of a person who was about to kill someone in the last second?

She replied cautiously, "My name is Li Zi." ”

The Taoist priest laughed out loud and said, "Very good name." Also, since you are my disciple in the future, don't have any inhibitions in front of me, just say what you really think in your heart. ”

Li Zi replied: "Yes." ”

She thought about it again and asked, "Then can I take Xu Huaigu's family with me?" ”

"Yes, since you have spoken, you have no choice." He laughed again, "Do you like him?" ”

Li Zi said shyly: "No." ”

The beautiful Taoist priest laughed and said to her, "I just told you to follow your heart, and forget about your first offense, not as an example." ”

Li Zi covered his face and ran away directly, but unfortunately the sharp-eyed Taoist priest saw that his earlobes were red.

He sighed with emotion, and couldn't help sighing: "This is the great freedom of my way." It's a pity that after so many years of studying the Dao Fa, I still went further and further after all. ”

Seeing the back of the little girl running away, the beautiful Taoist priest laughed stupidly, and the blood around him was even more earthly.

There should be a few such beautiful and pure parts of life, and we must cherish them.
