Chapter 3: Another Conversation

"How do you know that I am your uncle?"

The boy was silent and replied, "Guess." ”

The middle-aged man smiled, he was doing the business of dividing and picking tea, and he didn't speak. Dan is also happy to be quiet, leaning against the window lintel to watch the scenery. After visiting my uncle last night, I was shown to go to an attic to rest. As soon as the sky was revealed, he was called here again. He didn't sleep well, which made him feel very unbeautiful. There was wind on the mountain, and the clouds and mist from the morning had not yet dissipated, and the trees one or two feet high were still visible in them. The trees here are straight, and the trunks are like flowing water from the tip to the bottom, which is pleasing to the eye. The attic where the two of them were located was built in it, but it was higher, and the window could directly look at the point, like countless peaks.

"When you get up in the morning, do you see the attic?" the middle-aged man asked him.

"Attic?"

"You stayed there last night. ”

The boy thought for a moment and shook his head. The middle-aged man smiled again, he took the cup, moistened the water, and asked:

"It's okay, I was up there before, and when I saw you coming, I went to Tianchi, why did I turn around and leave when I got to the intersection?"

The young man didn't want to fool him, but after thinking about it, he replied, "Spring has just arrived." ”

"So ······"

"The lotus leaves and lotus flowers haven't bloomed yet, and it's not interesting to see them now. ”

"Makes sense. The middle-aged man praised. He pushed a small white bowl with his fingertips, and the young man took it, and saw that there were green shoots among them. He was a little puzzled and asked, "Lotus seed heart?"

The middle-aged man nodded and motioned for him to drink. Dan took a sip lightly, the taste was a little bitter, and he couldn't help but feel excited. The middle-aged man laughed, he also shook his head and laughed at himself, but he felt refreshed, and the irritability of the long distance disappeared. He took another sip and exclaimed.

The middle-aged man took a sip and said, "Formally introduce, I am your uncle, my surname is Xi, and my name is you." The mountain lord of the Western Rim Mountain, the guardian of the Holy Dynasty······"

Dan thought that he was still the head of Taoism.

Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged man said, "I am still the head of Taoism", he paused, "I am your Uncle Hua's younger brother."

Dan was a little confused.

When the teacher left him in the small town, it was Uncle Hua who took care of him. Although he usually plays a lot of cynicism, he also loves him very deeply. He knew that Uncle Hua might have a background, but he didn't expect it to be so big.

Xi pondered the words, and then said: "I don't know that he didn't tell you again, it seems that he didn't." But it doesn't matter, does it. After all, he is him, and I am me. ”

He tapped his fingers on the table and asked, "Do you know why I'm picking you up?"

“······”

"I want you to succeed me. ”

Dan came back to his senses, a little confused, and replied:

"Uncle Shi, I am a Taoist heir. ”

"I know. ”

"Uncle Shi, Daomen is a ······ of separation"

"So?"

Dan stood up, shook his head, and said, "Uncle Shi, you are confused.

"The Taoist Gate is divided into two, each inheriting one, and is succeeded by Taoism and Taoism. ”

The two do not interfere with each other, look at the avenue, and encourage each other.

"It's the rule. ”

Hee motioned for him to sit down, then turned to look back at the rising sun. There was a beam of light, coming slowly from the distant treetops, and everyone who walked by was draped in a golden veil. It was a pure mountain forest, and some sounds came out of nothing, such as birds and frogs, and the faint sound of cranes and cranes. He stretched out his hand, clenched his fist, and several palm-sized finches were on his arms, and he amused, and opened his hand, but there was nothing, and when the finches saw that there was nothing, they became angry, and after a few pecks, they flew away. The middle-aged man seemed to have some kind of fun, laughing, and a few birds were startled out of a nearby wood.

He gradually calmed down and said leisurely:

"I'm going to die. ”

In the small town, the old man stood in the small courtyard, not knowing that the wind was blowing very strongly, and the leaves on the big banyan tree were blown loudly. The old man smoothed out his scattered bun, thinking that the young man had brought a few sets of clothes and a bamboo slip with him when he left, and sighed. The old man recalled the days when he was a young man from childhood to adulthood, from the days when he grew up to be taller than him, and sighed: "Is it really boring here?"

If it's not boring here, how can you only bring clothes and bamboo slips?

Reading and self, and the rest of the rest.

"This peak is called Qingshan, and the whole mountain range is called Qingshan.

"In the past, when the Daomen first separated, your master and I were just in that generation, and at that time there was a little junior sister, and your master liked her very much.

"When we were young, we lived on this land. At that time, your master was not as tall as me, a thin man, how could I be handsome and chic, and the jade tree was in the wind. But the junior sister didn't like it, she was the best one of our three middle ways at that time, I heard the disciples say that we both like her, and they came to hit me when they picked the muddy ball, hey, I asked her why you didn't beat the senior brother, and she came to fight the thief's heart first. Well, at least the little junior sister admits that I'm handsome in disguise, right?"

When the middle-aged man said this, his eyebrows fluttered, and his mouth smiled like a broken watermelon.

At that time, Shizun had the meaning of dividing the Dao Gate into two. The junior sister has a good Taoism, so let her go to the Taoist house, and the senior brother has high Taoist skills, so let him succeed to the position of the head of the family. And I, the magic is profound, and the appearance is dignified, so naturally I should be the one who walks in the world, how good! Taoism is unique in the world, and Confucianism and Buddhism can only do it.

It's a pity that the junior sister didn't agree, and secretly went down the mountain one night.

"Although Shizun later changed his position, we also have our own ideas. ”

He was a little infarcted and said: "Love words are the most hurtful."

"Little junior sister went down the mountain, not for anything else, just for this love!

"Later, how can there be later. The little junior sister went down the mountain and became the concubine······

"Concubine Zhen by Gaozong's side. ”

The boy was silent, and couldn't even answer. The mountains and forests outside the window were silent, and the birds stood on the canopy, looking at them, as if the heavens and the earth were sad.

"I don't know how my brother feels, I just know that my sister has his share the night she left.

"Then the door was suppressed, and I was happy to be quiet and sealed the inner door. Occasionally, I go to the mountain to teach the outer door and teach myself not to grow old.

"The old people of Shizun's generation closed their eyes when they closed their eyes, and when they entered the customs, there were fewer and fewer people on the mountain.

"More than ten years ago, I took in two children, a boy and a girl, and they smiled the same as we did back then.

"I have selfish intentions to rank girls in primary two and boys to primary three.

"If you want to come to the year when my sister leaves, it won't be considered alive. ”

"When I first mentioned my brother, I actually wanted you to choose to believe me. ”

Xi looked at Dan, as if looking at them many years ago, they were young and alive.

"Because I want you to have a choice, a different choice.

"You have been born and worshiped under your brother. is to choose to enter Taoism, Taoism does nothing, quiet and inaction. That's why your master let you live there, to get a glimpse of the Great Dao, and to think that one day you will be able to ascend to heaven on the right path.

"But that's wrong!

"You haven't experienced anything, you shouldn't be a teenager!

"The rolling red dust, to walk through, to see, to experience, you choose again!

"Two doors are always open for you.

"You can always go back. ”
