The mountain rain is coming, and a Taoist slowly walks on the bluestone ancient road.

The high-crowned blue robe, the mud stained the soles of his shoes dirty, and they were a lot thicker, but he didn't look at them, and looked into the mountains, and the sky and the earth were vast.

He thought for a moment, stepped off the stone path, and stepped sideways into the mist-soaked mountain road.

After walking slowly, there were broken trees along the way, and the corner of his eye even swept a piece of wood that was about to rot.

He didn't stop, but he thought in his mind, peeling off the rotten skin, the inside may still be bright, just like the world, some people are golden and ruined on the outside, and some people are just the opposite.

Looking at the towering trees on the road, he had a new idea.

Wood has a spirit, but it is a living thing, and a dead wood cannot be carved because it is a dead thing.

Why don't you find some wood that just rotted on the skin and put your belongings in.

Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and it is really not necessary to cut down trees arbitrarily for one's own selfishness.

So he stepped back again, picked up the piece of wood he had just seen, and continued to look for it.

Later, he cut down the wood and built a wooden house.

And the piece of wood that made him make this decision is still untouched.

Probably because the scenery is always so eye-catching when you see it for the first time, the food you eat for the first time is always impressive, and the people you meet for the first time always feel different.

Many things in this world, when touched for the first time, will be particularly unreasonable.

Just like this truncated wood.

The Taoist didn't think about what to do with it, and a long time passed, and before it was about to rot again, he finally did it.

He compared the potted plants full of flowers in the yard, looked at the moon in the sky, and finally under his careful carving, he turned decay into magic, and the broken wood turned into a wooden beauty!

Although he used spells to carve, the edges and corners of the beauty were still as clumsy as wood, he had to go out again, all the way to find the treacherous and magnificent, extremely vicious place, fighting monsters and sea beasts are innumerable, and finally found a strange tree, collected the glue oozing from the tree, and shaped it after it was half dry, accompanied by spells, and the touch was almost the same as real human skin after it was all dry!

He looked at the wooden man with a flowery face and a moon, and couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Although the Tao is natural, it is also very impermanent.

The broken wood should have rotted into the earth, but he touched it, he should have let it return to nature, but he gave it a new life.

When they met, it was both chance and nature.

He read it, and Gu Zi realized it for a while.

The road to monasticism was long, and one day, from the tireless discussion with her, he suddenly came up with a startling idea—he wanted to hear her opinion.

For this reason, he even went into the Demon Domain and came back from the spirit of his words.

It's a pity that he ran out of spells, and he still couldn't get her to confide in a word.

Just as there is no fish in the fish-flavored shredded meat, the wooden man is not a human after all.

When he understood it, he was no longer attached, but he still did homework and read scriptures to her every day.

Day by day, after many years, I don't know why, I don't know what day it is, the wooden man suddenly opened his mind.

He was overjoyed and decided that it was the Dao Fa, so he taught her how to follow the Tao and how to practice.

She stiffened her limbs and meditated hard, but she did whatever he said.

In addition, he taught her to make tea, tidy up the room, take her to the mountains to watch the sun and sunset, and tell her the truth about the changes of everything in the world.

No matter what he said, the wooden man always nodded in agreement.

Together, they planted a crape myrtle tree in the yard. Winter goes to spring, year after year, when the crape myrtle tree grows into a towering sky, the behavior of the wooden people is no different from ordinary people.

Taoist people often go down the mountain to verify the correctness of their Taoism, commonly known as experience, is to occasionally not go back for a few days, the wooden man will stand at the door and wait for him, the wind and rain will blow her wrinkled, the passing elves see her and laugh at her, saying that what is the use, it is better to see what is missing in the house, add and supplement, and then it is useless, but it will be discarded!

Sensing the danger, she rummaged up and down the house, and when she saw that there was a shortage of food, she went down the mountain.

It took many detours to come to the city, but I didn't expect to be driven away.

She thought back and forth about their lives many times, and finally determined that he had never said the word money to her.

She didn't understand what this thing was, why others had it and she didn't have it, and she didn't understand why others would chase her if she didn't have this thing, so she had to run in a panic with rice noodles.

But there were people all around, she had never seen so many people, she knew, this was the mortal he had said, she remembered, he had said that no matter what, he could not do anything to mortals.

So in the end, the things were snatched away, and she was beaten and walked down the street in a daze, when a group of children ran over and threw them at her with vegetable leaves in their hands.

They shouted, "Little thief!"

One of the older children corrected: "She's not a thief, she's a robber, she's obviously robbing openly!"

So the children giggled and shouted "thieves" and "bandits" in turn.

She hadn't heard such words from his mouth, she couldn't tell the meaning, she looked at her empty hands, thought for a moment, and turned around again.

She took the rice and noodles, took the vegetables, lifted the outermost skirt and wrapped them all up, held them in her arms, and then squatted down, and waited for the mortals to trample on enough, then she raised her face and asked them, "Can I take these?"

“......”

Everyone just thought she was a fool, scolded and snatched things back, and left.

Only then did she put the things back in place, and saw that she had wrapped her arms again, ready to squat.

Everyone felt that this thief was quite fast!

After her perseverance back and forth, the peddlers finally had no strength to beat and scold, and the passers-by persuaded: "Stop beating, if you fight again, your business will be yellow! ”

The hawkers then spat in unison, "Bad luck!" and stopped chasing and scolding her.

She was about to go back with her things, but the group of children ran over again, picking up rotten leaves and stones on the ground, and scolding with a grin: "Fool!"

After scolding and seeing that she was not angry, he became more and more bold, clapping his hands and singing and dancing around her and shouting fools.

She looked at their happy expressions, and tried to pull the corners of her mouth, trying to return the same emotion, but in the end she failed.

Finally, when the children had dispersed, a few more roe deer rats gathered around, laughing and pulling her into the corner, and as they stripped her of her clothes, they came out of their mouths with foul gossip.

She held the things in her arms and refused to let go, her clothes couldn't be taken off, and several people didn't expect the fool's strength to be so great, and as soon as her eyes rolled, she thought of a way to start coaxing her.

They said, "Look what kind of sin you have suffered, why don't you give them when you have money?"

Although the wooden man had a wooden face, she was actually very surprised, and she said, "I don't have any money." ”

Several people glanced at each other, smiled evilly, and pointed to her clothes: "Look at your clothes, they are so soft to the touch, they must be sewn with the best materials, and if you take it off and sell it, won't you have money?"

She asked, "So you have money?"

They rubbed their hands together and nodded their heads one after another: "Yes, if you take it off, you will be rich!"

She thought that the person who had just beaten her said that it was a matter of course to buy things and give money, and that this was the truth of the world? If so, she should abide by them, and she looked at her bosom, and these things were indeed not given money, and if they had money, they should still be given some.

He nodded, arranged the things in his arms neatly one by one according to the Taoist teachings, and then untied his belt and began to loosen his clothes.

Taoist people do things in an orderly manner, she is often by her side, and she has learned to be very similar.

But the hooligans couldn't get used to her slow and organized, and they stepped forward one after another, offering to help one or two.

She took a step back and politely refused: "You can't always borrow the hands of others for your own business." ”

The hooligans were stunned for a moment and laughed, "Your family still taught you very well, but it's a pity that you are a stupid, vain, hahaha!"

When she heard an unfamiliar word, her undressed hand paused, and asked, "What is home?"

"I don't even know home, that's where you live!

She thought of the wooden house in the mountains and nodded, it turned out that place was called home.

The hooligans saw that she was so stupid that they didn't bother to whisper, and simply discussed it out loud.

"Look at her behavior, isn't it the eldest lady who ran out of the boudoir?"

"Who doesn't know everyone in this city, we have been staring at her for a long time, even children dare to throw things on her, this city is not big, if there is really any family background that can be seen, I am afraid that it will be found a long time ago!"

"What do you mean, you say, see people, what do you think?"

"I've heard of such a game, there is such a place, specially select some young girls to go back to train and train, so that they don't see the world, and they don't let them have their own ideas. Everything is cultivated according to the needs of the guests, and after the cultivation is handed over with one hand and the other hand is given to people, and the general guests take it away on the spot, and they are secretly raised elsewhere...... I heard that they all call their guests hosts, and they can only recognize one ...... in their lives."

"Your way of thinking sounds a bit like a brothel!"

"Bah, how can those sluts who talk about people talk and talk nonsense compare to them! ”

The man faked a cough and asked, "How many people are there in the girl's family?"

The wooden man said, "One." ”

The man glanced at his accomplice triumphantly, with a "have you seen" expression, and then asked, "Are you the master of the house?"

"Master......" The wooden man spoke, there was no ambiguity in his hand, and the extremely delicate and complicated skirt was stripped by her to only a snow-white undershirt, she was worried about money, and unconsciously repeated a sentence, and then felt that this word was also a little unfamiliar, so she stopped, and asked intently: "What does the master mean?"

The man was overjoyed just now, thinking that he had found a treasure, but when he heard this, he replied angrily: "You listen to him for everything." After thinking about it, he added: "He will teach you everything." ”

After speaking, I still felt that the words did not reach the meaning, and added: "Teaching in all senses." ”

The wooden man couldn't hear the deep meaning, and compared his life with that of the Taoist, which was indeed the case, so he suddenly realized that they had such a relationship in the world.

Yes, she nodded and admitted, "That's right, it's the master." ”

Several people clapped their hands and laughed, and the eyes that looked at her became more and more intense.

"This is a golden slave! I didn't expect to be met by our brothers!"

"Don't say it, the girl is all taken off like this, can't you let her catch a cold, brothers, come together?"

"Come on, come on, the girl is a cultural person, and we are not such vulgar people, so I will ask the master to be your master and teach you, what is the joy of fish and water, and what is going to the clouds and rain together!"

The wooden man watched them approach step by step, but he didn't move, and his mind was still thinking, why are they words that he has never heard?

Before she could ask again, those pairs of sinful black hands had already reached out to her!

Suddenly, there was a thunderclap in the sky, and it seemed to fall beside them! The explosion caused several disciples to jump up, only to hear a burst of sizzling sounds in their ears, and they couldn't help but subconsciously follow the sound.

I don't know if I don't see this, but I was startled when I saw it, and the sound came from a sword!

The sword was like thunder and lightning, and it made a sizzling sound, but it was accompanied by a strong light, and it was obliquely inserted into the ground next to their feet, and smashed a deep pit into the ground, and the hooligans looked at the crack in the ground, as if they saw their own chapped body, and they retreated and swallowed their saliva, and forced themselves to ask, "Who? Who is there to pretend to be a ghost?!"

The blue robe covered the sky and the sun, flew sideways, and landed steadily on the wooden man's body, and the hooligans shrank into a ball, and saw the blue cloud lines on the man's shoes, and the corners of the robe that were getting closer and closer, and they did not even dare to raise their eyes to look at the cold side face of the man.

She was the only one, dressed in the clothes he had given her, and shouted to him happily: "Master!"

When this sound came out, everything was silent, and even the sizzling sound on the lightsaber disappeared!

The hooligans thought to themselves: the Lord is coming, it's over!

The Taoist thought: ...... Who?
