Chapter 166: Without the suffering of others
After saying thank you, Xiao Er left happily, a spirit silver stone, even if he paid for the wine and food, there was a lot left, which was a small fortune for him.
The other diners around looked at Tan Hao's side intentionally or unintentionally, some of them had bad intentions, such as a few guys with swords on the right corner (shēn), who saw the spirit silver stone that Tan Hao had just taken out, and they had the heart to rob the money.
There are also some strange thoughts, because Tan Hao just talked about the nameless ancient house, for the painting fan village, the nameless ancient house is a sensitive place, which is taboo.
"Brother Tan is planning to go to that abandoned mansion?"
At the dinner table, many Ren had been paying attention to Tan Hao and asked.
"Well, I'd like to check it out. Tan Hao said, and then he looked at many Ren and asked, "Brother Xu, do you want to go together?" ”
"Ahem... Ahem...."
As soon as Tan Hao's words fell, many Ren were choked by the wine that had just been drunk into his throat, and he was embarrassed and snorted: "I won't go, I'm a little tired after a long journey, and I want to rest for a night." ”
After listening to it, Tan Hao nodded with a smile, and didn't say more, he didn't plan to take a lot of Ren at all, the sentence he asked just now was just a joke that suddenly rose in his heart, he knew a lot of Ren too well, this cowardly can't do it, a Qin Dynasty made him very scared, not to mention a haunted nameless ancient mansion, give him ten guts, this thing may not dare to go.
However, Tan Hao didn't have any intention of taking many people lightly. After all, for ordinary people, the unknown is indeed something to be feared about. Even if it was him, before he cultivated the truth, maybe his reaction might be even worse than that of many Ren.
Yang Kang once said one word to Tan Hao: cowardice.
郝 (chūn) rain once also said Tan Hao one word: (jiàn).
So Tan Hao used to be a person like that.
Tan Hao smiled and ate with peace of mind, and after more than twenty minutes, the beggar in the middle urinated and didn't know where he went. Tan Hao and many Ren duo were left to walk out of the restaurant, but they found that a corner on the right was full of people.
"Let's go over and see. ”
Many people who are curious will say to Tan Hao when they see this.
"Okay. ”
Anyway, it's okay now, Tan Hao plans to wait a while and then go to the nameless ancient mansion, and it's not bad to go over and see the trouble now, after all, his curiosity is actually strong. And Tan Hao noticed that the few ill-intentioned guys who had been paying attention to him in the restaurant just now also quietly followed out.
......................
"You have so many pears, why not give one to the old way. ”
"No, no, no, this pear is planted by me with hard work, and the family lives on these pears sold for a living, if you want one, others also want one, then my family is not hungry...."
"Alas...... Why should the donor be so stingy, the old way is just asking for a pear to eat. ”
"That's it, that's it, if you see the tattered shēn on the old Taoist priest (shēn), just take it as a good deed and give someone one..."
"It's too stingy, I thought this pear was not bad and was going to buy two, but I didn't expect it to be so stingy, so I didn't buy it..."
Tan Hao and many Ren squeezed in, and when they came into view, they saw a dark-skinned farmer dressed in gray linen (shēn), carrying two baskets of pears. There is also an old Taoist priest who is dressed in tatters and has gray hair, listening to the words of the people around him, Tan Hao and many Ren also figured it out. It turned out that the old Taoist priest wanted to ask for a pear for free, but the farmer disagreed, saying that the family lived by selling pears.
Tan Hao looked at the farmer, he looked like he was in his forties, his skin was dark, his face was sallow, full of wrinkles, his body was a little emaciated, his hands were full of calluses, most of them were known about the hardships of life, and the old Taoist priest was also worn in tatters all his life, but his eyes were very bright, and his face was ruddy, giving people a feeling of crane hair and childishness, not like a person who had suffered for a long time.
"I just need a pear, okay?"
The old Taoist priest seemed to recognize it, and he just pestered the farmer.
"No, I can't. ”
The farmer didn't agree at all, these pears were his family's source of income, how could he be willing to give them for free.
Tan Hao was looking at it, but he saw that many good people on the side of Ren were making mistakes, so he stepped forward and asked the farmer, "How do you sell these pears?"
"One for two spirit copper stones, and one pound for five spirit copper stones. The farmer replied truthfully.
"Okay, give this Taoist chief one, and I'll pay for the money. As he spoke, he saw that many people took out two spirit bronze stones and handed them to the farmer.
The latter was stunned for a moment, and then without saying a word, he picked out a pear that looked good and handed it to the old Taoist, and the people around him did not (jìn) whisper when they saw this scene, and the old Taoist priest also turned his head and thanked many people, and then directly picked up the pear and ate it regardless of the image.
Tan Hao didn't stop talking, but kept paying attention to the old Taoist priest, and saw this person eat the pear by dividing it by two, and finally left a pear core.
"Thank you for this kind man, I haven't eaten such a delicious pear in a long time. After eating, the old Taoist priest thanked many Ren again.
"The Taoist chief is polite, how can he worry about it. Many Ren smiled and seemed happy to be able to help others.
"What a kind man. ”
"Isn't it just a pear? This man is too stingy. ”
Some people praise many Ren, while others accuse the pear farmer of being stingy. Many Ren smiled and arched their hands around, but did not speak. However, it seems that he is very useful for the praise around him, and the pear farmer is said to be red-faced, but he is silent, whether he is stingy or not, he admits it, because his family's livelihood is pinned on this pear.
"It's better to be happy alone than to be happy, Lao Dao ate this pear, please eat one too." ”
At this time, the old Taoist priest spoke again. Then I saw him throw the pear core in his hand on the ground, and before everyone could figure out what he was doing, they saw the old Taoist priest pinching a few tricks in his hand and chanting words in his mouth.
In the exclamation of everyone, I saw that the pear core on the ground suddenly changed, first a little new green appeared, and finally it became a pear tree seedling at a speed visible to the eyes of the (ròu).... Finally, a pear tree about two meters tall appeared in front of everyone, full of large pears....
The people around were already a little stunned, a pear kernel turned into a pear tree in less than a few minutes, blossoming and bearing fruit, this kind of means is not something that ordinary cultivators can do.
"Oh my god... This..... It's a trick. ”
"Cow ...... Cow break!"
The people around them exclaimed continuously, after all, they had seen a cultivator who had fled to the sky at most, but it was really difficult to see the means of flowering a pear core like this. Many Ren were dumbfounded, even the farmer who sold pears was dumbfounded.
"Good Samaritan, this pear, the old way will return it to you. In the midst of everyone's consternation, the old Taoist priest had already picked a pear and handed it to many Ren, who was still a little stupid and took the pear in a daze.
At this time, the old Taoist priest beckoned everyone again: "You don't have to be polite, just pick it, this pear is an old Taoist, please everyone." ”
"Thank you, thank you. ”
"Give me one. ”
"I want one too...."
"Mine, my!
"My Pear ...."
Suddenly, there was a terrible cry from the crowd, it was the farmer who sold pears just now, and everyone followed the reputation, it turned out that at some point, the two baskets of pears in the farmer's box were gone.
"It's you, it's definitely you. The farmer pointed to the old Taoist priest, his eyes red.
"Hehe, do you have a credential? ”
The old Taoist priest was sloppy, but he didn't say much to the farmer. With a smile in his eyes, he glanced at the farmer and turned (shēn) to leave.
"Taking other people's pears and not giving money, this is also what a person who cultivates the truth should do?"
At this moment, an abrupt voice sounded, and then I saw a young man dressed in a white robe blocking in front of the old Taoist priest.
"Brother Tan. ”
Many Ren were shocked, because it was Tan Hao who was standing in front of the old Taoist, which made him wonder, didn't Tan Hao always be next to him just now, how could he run in front of the old Taoist in the blink of an eye.
"Why do you have to embarrass a common man?"
Tan Hao looked directly at the old Taoist priest, pointed to the farmer's empty pear basket with his right hand, his face was calm, he couldn't see much change, and the people around him also looked at Tan Hao who suddenly appeared in sight.
"Hehe, this little brother laughed, I didn't feel sorry for others, I don't listen to the old way of saying this. The old Taoist priest's face remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "And the old Taoist is leaving, I'm afraid the little brother won't be able to stop me." ”
"Really?"
Hearing the old Taoist's words, Tan Hao raised his eyebrows, but his eyes became cold, and a trace of anger arose in his heart. He had been watching from the side just now, although he didn't know what method the old Taoist priest used, but he was sure that the pears that had just grown from the pear tree were from the farmer's basket.
For such an approach, Tan Hao was a little unacceptable. No, he couldn't look down on it! The farmer was sallow-faced, emaciated, and obviously a person with a hard life, and most of these pears were things for his livelihood, and the old Taoist priest's practice was likely to indirectly starve the farmer's family.
Just to ask for a free pear to eat, people don't give it, so they use means to let people have no pears, Tan Hao looks down on this practice, people are also begging for life, life is not easy, why should people give you free pears to eat.
Don't persuade others to be kind without others suffering.
And is the old Taoist really the kind of person who has no money, Tan Hao doesn't believe this.
"There is a way to cultivate the true mind, but it seems that you have not done it. ”
Tan Hao's face was a little cold, and he saw his right hand reach out and grab it at the old Taoist's shoulder, but this time, he grabbed it empty, and saw the shadow of the old Taoist priest (shēn) suddenly flash, and somehow appeared behind him.
"I said, the old way is to go, and the little brother can't keep me. ”
(shēn) After that, the old Taoist priest's proud voice came, and Tan Hao's face couldn't help but be stunned. But then he shouted, "You're too confident." ”
Turning (shēn), Tan Hao shot again.
Lao Dao glanced back at Tan Hao, a smile appeared on his face, and then he stepped out and appeared directly seven or eight meters away.
"Shrinking into inches?"
Tan Hao's eyes condensed slightly, he had also learned some of this method from Qiu Mo Ning, shrinking the ground into inches, and flying with the object. However, he didn't worry too much, because the old Taoist priest in front of him was only a monk in the realm of transforming gods, and he had the confidence to keep the other party.
