Chapter 114: The Mountains Look Up

On Wudang Mountain, a few people lived peacefully for a few days.

Xu Yang stopped on the mountain, there was no shelf, no matter which little Taoist priest had a question, he would answer them one by one. Therefore, these young disciples on Wudang Mountain like Xu Yangzhi very much, and joke with him from time to time.

At the foot of Wudang Mountain, there are also many people who do business, and they are very familiar with this Xu Yangzhi. Although it was all these people, they brought the wine up the mountain. Xu Yangzhi rarely goes down the mountain, but he came up and down today and bought a pot of wine.

The shopkeeper was very surprised, he didn't know Xu Yangzhi's true identity, he just thought he was an ordinary Taoist priest in Wudang Mountain. On weekdays, seeing that he was old, and he was generous, he gave him wine.

Why did you come down the mountain today?

It's a strange thing.

The county under the mountain is called Yuxian, and Xu Yangzhi is here, and he heard the storyteller tell the story of the past.

In the wine shop, there is an elderly storyteller who comes here to tell stories, mix some silver, and retire. Today's story is the story of the past in Yuxian County.

In the old days, Yuxian.

On this day, a strange old Taoist priest came. He did not carry a banner or set up a sticker, and his hands were empty, but he sat on the ground in the vegetable market, saying that he could not know the prophet and knew the past and the present.

There was a common man who saw the old Taoist priest in rags, and only thought he was a madman and talked nonsense. When I have nothing to do, I want to joke about the old way. He opened his mouth and asked Lao Dao: "You say that you are not a prophet, then you say, how many silver taels do I have!"

Lao Dao glanced at the people and teased: "You little guy, there are only three copper plates left in the house." I advise you not to gamble again, otherwise your wife will be sold. ”

When the people heard this, they stomped their feet and walked away. When the onlookers saw it, they immediately understood that the old man was a man of God! The old way does not shirk, if there is a question, he must answer it, and when he asks, he will receive a copper plate. Soon, Lao Dao was surrounded by people.

Suddenly, a sedan chair appeared on the street. The person in the sedan chair is Su Wen, the local parent official. To say that this Su Wen is really a big evil official.

Three years ago, he spent money to buy an official position. After taking office, he collected the people's fat and ointment, and the people were full of complaints. Once, the bully in the county couldn't rob other people's mothers, and they killed women in anger. The woman's husband sued the bully, but unexpectedly, the bully gave Su Wen an ingot of gold, and Su Wen slandered the woman's husband and killed the lady himself. He was tortured to make him confess, and the man was unjustly beheaded!

At this time, Su Wen was about to go to Baihualou to drink, but he heard the commotion outside. When the curtain was lifted, he found a crowd of people gathered in one place. Curious, he sent the servant to check. After the slave returned, Su Wen's eyes lit up and he got off the sedan chair...

Under the angry scolding and pushing of the minions, the people saw that it was Su Wen, and they avoided it one after another, for fear that they would slow down and be beaten badly. Su Wen hurriedly walked in front of the old Taoist priest, and then saluted with both hands, with a respectful attitude.

This Su Wen does a lot of bad things on weekdays, and he is also afraid of bad retribution. Therefore, I often go to the temple and Taoist temple to seek peace and wealth. I have been there a lot, and I know some high-ranking people, who often hide among the people. Therefore, at this moment, I don't dare to be presumptuous about the old way.

Lao Dao glanced at Su Wen and stretched out his palm.

Seeing this, Su Wen took out a piece of silver and put it in the palm of the old man. Lao Dao's eyes lit up, and he stroked his long beard with satisfaction. Su Wen, on the other hand, smiled knowingly. Then, Su Wen asked a few family questions, and the old way came out one by one. Even Su Wen went to the toilet a few times yesterday, and the old way was broken.

Su Wen was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly begged Lao Dao to come to the mansion and be his guest.

As he spoke, another ingot of silver was handed out. Lao Dao smiled knowingly, got up and followed Su Wen. When Su Wen and Lao Dao left, the people loudly scolded Lao Dao for being greedy for money. Thinking that Su Wen has the help of the old way, he will definitely be more unscrupulous in the future...

At night, Su Wen set up a banquet in the mansion.

During the banquet, Su Wen bluntly said that he hoped that Lao Dao would stay by his side and help him seek blessings and avoid disasters. Of course, the two of them will share the wealth and wealth. But Lao Dao said that he was used to walking the rivers and lakes and didn't want to live in one place for a long time. But Su Wen finally met a god, how could he let it go easily. Gritting his teeth, he said that he was willing to give half of the family property and only begged Lao Dao to stay.

Lao Dao thought for a while and said, "In this way, I will take you as a disciple and pass on your divination." When you are successful, I will leave. When Su Wen heard this, he was overjoyed. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, shouting master. Seeing this, Lao Dao stepped forward and helped Su Wen up.

But at this moment, in the sleeve of the old road, a gossip-shaped silver ornament slipped down...

When Su Wen saw it, he wanted to help Lao Dao pick it up.

But Lao Dao looked panicked, took the first step, and picked up the gossip silver jewelry. Su Wen didn't say anything, but he had more thoughts in his heart. Su Wen asked the servant to bring a few jars of good wine, and bluntly said that he wanted to get drunk with the old man. Under Su Wen's intention, Lao Dao soon turned ruddy and drunk. Then, Su Wen tentatively asked Lao Dao what the gossip silver jewelry was. After this old man was drunk, he knew everything, and told Su Wen everything.

Lao Tao said that this gossip silver ornament is a sacred object.

Whether it is to measure blessings and disasters, or to know the past and future, just put it on your body and silently recite it in your heart: Tao Tao Tao, Answer

Naturally, it comes to mind. But there is a disadvantage to this thing, that is, the person who holds the gossip silver jewelry cannot divinate for himself, or will ......

Before the old saying was finished, he fell drunk on the table, no matter how Su Wen screamed, he didn't wake up. When he landed, Su Wen's thief's heart suddenly rose. As soon as he reached out, he took out the gossip silver ornament from the sleeve of the old way. Then hide in the sleeve and summon the minions. and took a few hexagrams for the minions, and it was ten counts and ten accurate!

Seeing the old Tao who was drunk on the table, Su Wen called the servant to throw the old Tao out of the house, thinking, the gossip silver ornament in his hand, the old Tao was useless to stay. Afterwards, Su Wen returned to the back room and closed the door. Then, I couldn't put it down and played with gossip silver jewelry. Suddenly, I thought that I had been an official for three years and had done all the evil things, but I don't know if I would bury the root of the curse, it would be better to divination, how much longevity I still have.

Thinking of this, Su Wen silently recited in his heart: Dao Dao!

As soon as he finished reading it in his heart, Su Wen's face changed greatly. It turned out that two words came to his mind: Death!

Just as he was at a loss, there was a boom, and the sky was full of dark clouds, and a thunderbolt fell from the sky like a sharp sword, and fell straight to the house where Su Wen was. In an instant, the Soviet culture was reduced to ashes. A moment later, the clouds cleared, and another person appeared in the room.

Take a closer look, it's old-fashioned. But seeing that Lao Dao was not in a hurry, he picked up the gossip silver ornaments from the ground...

This thing is mysterious, but it is actually the story of the Taoist priest punishing the wicked. Yuxian County is close to Wudang Mountain, and it is not surprising that there is such a thing. Xu Yang stopped aside, but listened very seriously.

However, some drinkers were not satisfied: "This story is told every day, and I am tired of hearing it crookedly. ”

Another drinker said, "Yes, yes, it's this story all day, change one for another." If you don't change it, there will be no reward. ”

The storyteller had no choice but to change another one.

There is a Sanquan village near Yuxian County, which has become one of the richest villages in the surrounding area, and every family does not have to farm and every household has an inexhaustible amount of money, and they all eat, drink, prostitute, and become successful. The eyes of the people in the surrounding villages are red.

If there are good deeds, go to Sanquan Village to inquire about what will happen, a question can not be asked, it turns out that there is a fox fairy temple here, who has no money, only need to go to the fox fairy temple to pray for a fan, and then take the yellow paper to write, the exchange conditions burned, the next day to sleep, there must be white flowers of silver on the pillow side.

Originally, Sanquan Village was a poor and remote area, and it was all rocky fields, where birds didn't poop, and every family lived very poorly, and there were groups to go outside to ask for food. But one day just a year ago, a young man named Erdan, who was unwilling to accept the status quo, sold all his savings, borrowed some dry food from relatives and friends, and left his old mother, wife and young children out to discuss life.

But it was a war year, and there were wars going on in many places outside. I couldn't even beg for a living when I went there, and soon Erdan used up all the food, drink and flowers he brought, and lived a begging life.

No way, I had to go back to the village again, it was already big night when I was about to arrive in the village, Erdan was really tired and hungry just on the road to a broken temple, Erdan wanted to rest for a night and go back tomorrow morning, anyway, it was more than ten miles away to go back, and then Erdan didn't think about it and went into the broken temple to find a straw mat and lay down directly.

Just when Erdan was about to fall asleep, a white light suddenly flashed in front of him, and he flew over like an arrow, much like a big rabbit. Erdan immediately woke up, thinking, Lao Tzu is now hungry and tired, just a rabbit to satisfy his hunger, he immediately got up to look for it, but after looking for a long time and found nothing, he was angry and found a stick, smashed it for a long time to vent the anger in his heart.

Then the tired Erdan lay on the straw mat for a while, and in the dream Erdan dreamed that he had made a lot of money in business, and if he returned to the village, his friends, old mother and son, and son would greet him heroically.

Day 2. When he woke up, Erdan saw that he was still sleeping in the broken temple.

I smiled in my heart, I was dreaming again, and I didn't think much about it and was about to leave for home, when suddenly my hand touched a cold thing, and there were many pieces, and when I turned my head, it turned out to be white silver!

At this time, Erdan didn't have time to think so much, picked it up and ran, and said that he earned it himself when he got home. Because it was a war year, he was wearing dirty and tattered clothes like beggars, and he was wearing so much money, so he panicked, saying that he was afraid that the bandits would rob him, so he could only decorate it like this, and his mother and wife didn't say anything after hearing him.

In this way, a year passed, Erdan spent all the silver, and once again slept in the broken temple by chance, and dreamed of an old man with white hair, wearing a white dress, and a sharp-beaked monkey gills and saying, My surname is Hu, and I am a fox fairy who has practiced for a thousand years.

I gave you silver last time, do you still want it this time?

Erdan didn't think about it and said I want it, the old man said: "Things can't be given to you for nothing, you have to exchange the same things", Erdan is poor and almost buys a kidney, what to exchange with you. The old man said, exchange your life origin essence blood, anyway, as long as you go back every day to eat big fish and meat, the essence blood will be replenished, two

Dan Lima agreed to exchange.

After waking up from the dream, Erdan found that he had a dream again, and when he was about to go back, he found that he had ten taels of silver on his body, and then went back happily. Because of more than a year, I haven't seen Erdan go out to do business again, let alone Erdan farming, but he always eats and drinks well every day, eating big fish and meat.

Some fox friends in the village, they were invited to drink Erdan, and when Erdan drank almost, they asked how you have endless money, and said that the brothers would also earn some, at first Erdan didn't want to say, but they couldn't stand these people drinking left and right, and after a while, Erdan went to the temple and exchanged the essence and blood for the ocean.

At first, the villagers didn't believe it, but they had the courage to go once, and then came back and said, Erdan was right, but there was no need to sleep in the broken temple, just take the yellow paper and write it, promise to exchange the original blood, and then go home to sleep, and the next day there were ten taels of silver next to the pillow, so many villagers followed suit, and sure enough, many people got benefits.

Since then, the villagers of Sanquan Village who have no money will go to the temple to pray, so that they can get rich and have ten taels of silver, which is everyone's dream of getting it for nothing.

In this way, Sanquan Village has developed a habit of eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and there is no shortage of everything. In order to thank Hu Daxian, the villagers paid for the rebuilding of the ruined temple. The fox fairy statue was reshaped and named the fox fairy temple. As long as someone's family has no money, they go to the temple to pray and exchange conditions, so that they will have money to spend, and there will be such good deeds, who will still farm?

After a few months, all the villagers discovered a serious problem. That is, the young and strong villagers are all suddenly dozens of years old. In his thirties, he is like a seventy-eighty year. And several strong laborers in their thirties died.

Anyone who went to the Great Immortal Temple to ask for silver became unusually old. The speed of aging is related to the amount of silver.

On this day, a Taoist priest came, and when he saw that the yin qi in the village was very strong, he pinched his fingers and counted it, and immediately knew what was going on, and then he found the village chief's house and told the village chief about it, and the village chief was also worried about this matter these days, how did the good village become like this all of a sudden, and his son also suddenly aged more than ten years, and if this continues, his son will die.

Then the village chief asked Ten what to do. The Taoist priest said that I have my own way, when the time comes, you only need to prepare some wood for me, get up on the periphery of the broken temple, and then you all go back to the village, no matter what you hear, don't open the door when you see anything, just like that, the village chief gathered a few cronies, prepared a lot of wood to surround the broken temple, and then the Taoist priest pinched his fingers and counted, and casually said that when it was noon tomorrow, he would deal with it.

On the second day, the Taoist priest went to the Fox Immortal Temple alone, and there were bold villagers, so he opened a crack in the door and looked at the Fox Immortal Temple, where the electric light and thunder were shining, and from time to time there were screams, and the fire was soaring, and the timid villagers were even more frightened and did not dare to open the door to see. On the second day, the villagers saw the old Taoist priest returning to the village with his hair scattered, and the village chief ran to meet him at home.

The Taoist priest said, damn beast, since you have been cultivating for a thousand years, you don't practice well, and you deviate from the crooked way to absorb the essence and blood to improve your own cultivation, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that only the Daluo Immortal can recover it, and it is also my fate with your village to travel here to help you resolve this catastrophe.

Then the Taoist priest warned the villagers that the free things are the most expensive, there is no free lunch in the world, you get a certain amount of effort, even life, and then the Taoist priest stayed for one night and left the village the next day under the eyes of all the villagers.

Since then, there have been no signs of abnormal aging. Everyone knows that they are exchanging their lives for money, and they will pay a terrible price for not working hard. So everyone hated this evil fox who did a lot of evil, and hated the fox fairy temple.

began to believe in Taoism, and there were even people who went to worship on Wudang Mountain.

The story of the storyteller drew applause from the audience.

Xu Yangzhi couldn't help laughing, he knew that the two Taoist priests in the story were his two disciples, the heaven and the earth. When they go down the mountain to punish evil and promote good, they never like to leave their names, nor do they like to show their true faces.

At this time, another drinker said: "These Taoist priests are much better than the lack of the land that day." I heard that the two of them did a lot of evil and killed people like hemp, and they also went out of Wudang Mountain. ”

Xu Yangzhi's smile suddenly stopped.

Another pilgrim said, "That day the crippled land was indeed excessive, and now I don't know if I am dead." ”

"Who knows. ”

"Good people don't live long, but disasters last for thousands of years. ”

Xu Yangzhi drank all the wine in the cup, slowly walked out, and began to go up the mountain.

The mountains look up and the scenery stops.

But over the years, Xu Yangzhi has always felt guilty about the teachings of the two disciples. Now that Yu Zhenyi is here, he finally has the heart to remedy. He walked on the mountain road and picked up a small flower that fell to the bottom: "A body of heavenly cultivation is not as good as this little flower." ”
