Three days have passed in a flash...

On the cold mountain trail, Wang Binggui walked up the mountain.

He looks like he is about thirty or so, his appearance is not good, he still hangs when he walks, and he often looks left and right, which makes him look very weak.

Stay until the mountain gate...

Seeing that the mountain gate was wide open, he looked left and right, and the appearance of the thief's eyebrows seemed to be checking whether there was anything valuable, and he would take it away when he went back.

He cautiously walked into Taixuguan, and was slightly stunned when he saw the big banyan tree that covered the sky and the sun, and secretly sighed that such a big tree could be sold for some money even if it was cut down as firewood.

But he just thought about it, and didn't use any crooked brains.

Although others are bastards, they seem to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, bully men and women, and steal chickens and dogs, but they also know that it is not easy for the old mother to pull herself, and this time she went up the mountain to thank her...

A few days ago, he lost the gambling on the ancestral land deed, and owed a lot of debts, so he hid in the face of his old mother at home.

But in fact, he didn't go far, he just didn't show up in secret, thinking that when the limelight passed in the future, he would take his old mother to live in a different place, change his mind, and be a new person.

It's just that I never thought that the old mother would cry and be blind.

The guilt in his heart was even worse, he hid and smoked his mouth, scolded himself for being a brute, and even thought about suicide.

Later, he inexplicably found that his old mother's eyes had regained his sight, and he was overjoyed, and asked someone to inquire to find out that it was the Taixu Guan Taoist priest on the cold mountain who cured his old mother's eyes, and only charged a penny for the consultation.

He gave up the idea of suicide, hesitated, and decided to go up the mountain to thank the Taoist priest who saved the old mother, after all, he had no other way to do his filial piety for the old mother.

Unconsciously, Wang Binggui walked to the edge of the prayer pool, and at first glance, he noticed the turquoise cloud pattern jade pendant at the bottom of the pool.

He has been in the gambling house all the year round, and he is very sensitive to valuable gold, silver and jade, and he can see at a glance that the moire jade pendant is worth a lot.

How did such a piece of jade pendant end up in the pool?

Is there no one who wants it?

If you can take it away and pawn it, it will be enough to pay off the gambling debts, maybe there is still money left over to fight two more on the table, in case the lost ancestral house will be won back?

Will you be able to get rid of the name of 'loser'?

Won't the old mother blame herself?

At this moment, his heart moved, and the courtesy, righteousness and shame were also left behind...

He licked his lips, went to the edge of the prayer pool, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go into the water to fish out the moire jade pendant for a flip pose, not noticing that a small turtle in the pool was looking at him coldly.

Just as he was about to enter the water, a kind reminder suddenly came from behind him: "If you dare to move that jade pendant, I will let your head move." ”

Wang Binggui was frightened when he heard this, and turned his head to find a Taoist priest standing not far behind him with a smile on his face and a dusty hand in his hand.

Although the Taoist priest had a slight smile on his face, the words he said made him feel like he had fallen into an ice cave in the cold winter...

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding..."

He sneered and stood up from the edge of the pool, pulled down his sleeves, and then arched his hands without skin and face, and asked, "Dare to ask Dao Chang, but Zhang Taixu?" ”

Zhang Xiuyuan bowed slightly, and admonished: "I know your character, but in this view, I still hope that you can abide by the rules and precepts here, and don't be greedy." ”

Because he had seen the fragments of Li's memories, he also knew that the person in front of him was Wang Binggui, the son of the Li family, and he really didn't want to be polite to this kind of gambling scoundrel.

"The Taoist Master misunderstood..."

Wang Binggui saw that his careful thinking was seen through, and he laughed twice without skin and face, and hurriedly pulled it away and said, "I came to thank the Taoist chief." ”

"Bye thanks, you don't have to..."

Zhang Xiuyuan shook his head indifferently, turned around and went to the guest room, and said, "Come with me, your mother asked me to pass on a few words to you, and left you some money." ”

"Huh?"

Wang Binggui was slightly distracted when he heard this, and after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly followed, and asked cautiously, "Does the Taoist know who I am?" ”

"Wang Binggui..."

"The Taoist knows I'm coming?"

Zhang Xiuyuan glanced at him and explained nonchalantly: "It's not that I knew you were coming, but your mother guessed that you would come." ”

“……”

Wang Binggui's heart trembled when he heard this, but his steps were a little slower, and he looked around with some weakness.

"Your mother isn't here..."

Seeing his posture, Zhang Xiuyuan secretly thought that this person still knew a bit of etiquette, righteousness and shame, and said: "A few days ago, she guessed that you would come after I cured my eye disease. ”

“……”

Wang Binggui is still silent...

The reason why people have so many troubles is because they are not pure enough, the good ones are not pure, and the evil ones are also not pure.

For example, Master Zhang Yangming...

For example, Wang Binggui in front of him is usually oily and smooth, with no skin and no face, but when he mentions his mother, he can't even maintain that skinless and faceless posture.

He eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, cheats, steals chickens and touches dogs, he has done all the bad things that ordinary people can do, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is so bad that it leaks pus...

But his conscience has not been completely extinguished, and he still knows that he owes his mother too much.

Zhang Xiuyuan didn't want to entangle with him more, so after returning to the guest room, he took out the handkerchief given by the Li family that day, put it on the table, stretched out his hand and gestured, "Your mother left it for you." ”

“……”

Wang Binggui held the bag of tight handkerchiefs, lost his mind unconsciously, and asked sneeringly: "I don't know what my mother asked the Taoist chief to bring?" ”

"See for yourself..."

Zhang Xiuyuan's fingertips flashed out a little spiritual light, and then he reached out and tapped Wang Binggui's eyebrows, and 'reproduced' the picture of that day in his sea of consciousness with his qi.

This kind of small means of development was created by his heart when he watched the memory fragments presented by the mountain and sea painting scrolls, and it can only be regarded as a primary use of qi at present, not even a technique......

At this time, Wang Binggui was stunned in place...

He saw the old mother being helped up the mountain by An Jiuling into the Taixu Temple, saw the old mother's crying gray eyes and cracked hands, and also saw the old mother carefully praying for herself......

"Although my son Wang Binggui is a bit of a bastard, but he is still filial, he hides because he has no face to see me, but I know that he has not gone far, and is still watching me secretly, if he knows that I have cured my eye disease in the Taoist, he will definitely come to the Taoist to thank him."

"He's definitely coming! He's just neglected discipline since he was a child, and he's been taken badly, and he... His nature is not bad, and he will definitely come. ”

"Thank you, thank you!"

"If my son comes to the Taoist and bothers the Taoist to give him this money, he will say... He said that the people who asked for the debt had already been dealt with by his uncle, so he should not worry. ”

"Just say...... Let's just say that I'm old as a mother, it's useless, and I only earned this amount of money from washing dishes some time ago, so let him use it first. ”

“……”

In this moment, he saw too many things, and he also saw clearly what he had not been aware of before.

For example, the old mother's withered white hair, like the old mother's rough hands full of cracks......

At some point, the handkerchief with the coin was soaked with two tears and a little wet mark.

Wang Binggui wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, took the handkerchief with coins into his arms, and then knelt down in front of Zhang Xiuyuan, kowtowing nine times.

After kowtowing, he got up and walked out of the guest room door, not saying a word the whole time.

As he passed by the prayer fountain, he seemed to have thought of something, and he stopped by the pool, carefully took out his handkerchief, and took out a copper coin from it, holding it as his mother had done and making the most sincere prayer.

After praying, he seemed to have figured out something, threw the copper coin in his hand into the pool, and then gritted his teeth and walked out of the mountain gate......
