Chapter 25: The Old Lady
The little brother looked at them again, asked them to wait, turned around and walked in the door, Xiao Qi looked at his back and said: "This subordinate is really interesting, no matter how you look at it, he is not an ordinary person, he seems to understand things very well." ”
Lu Mu said: "It seems that this Chu Fenggu is really powerful, a subordinate can be like this, what if there is no person we are looking for?"
Yu Jin said: "I'm also a little worried, maybe it's really like you said, their son-in-law should be full of poetry and books, and it's not impossible for such a person to suddenly understand his heart." Xiao Qi asked what was going on.
Lu Mu said: "Being able to practice is his creation, I heard that the main reason why Chu Fenggu disagrees is that the old lady of their family doesn't want them to be ruined, so it's good to make it clear." ”
Xiao Qi said with some frustration: "Then it's troublesome, do you know how much effort it takes to make an old lady in the mortal world understand things that she didn't understand before, everything has already taken shape in their minds, and it is not an exaggeration to let them change, it is not an exaggeration to say that they will live again." ”
Yu Jin also agreed with Xiao Qi's statement, whether it is cultivating or doing other things, the biggest enemy is always just himself, as long as he passes his own level, there is nothing that can be difficult to live in, but unfortunately it is the most difficult to pass his own level.
Lu Jin's meaning Lu Mu is very clear, Lu Mu also has his own ideas, whether it is like what they think, since coming here is fate, for Chu Fu, the matter of the son is a troublesome thing, and they always have to help when they encounter trouble.
The little brother came out soon after entering, Xiao Qi asked how it was, and the little brother said: "The old woman of our family said that it is naturally a good thing to be able to solve it, if you can't solve it or find out that you are liars, you will definitely not spare you, you must be clear about this, if you can bear the consequences, come in." The little brother said and got out of the way.
Xiao Qi said: "Then if it is solved, will you get some benefits?"
The little brother was stunned for a moment and said: "Of course yes, not to mention anything else, our old lady alone will definitely do this, and we will all be grateful to you." ”
Xiao Qi said: "In this way, you don't want your young master to practice, isn't it a good thing to practice, wouldn't it be a very good thing if there was an immortal in your house." ”
The little brother said: "We only think that the master can live a good life, and it is good that the house is stable and peaceful, and we are not happy with the master." He lowered his head, and he could see that he was showing his true feelings.
Xiao Qi said: "It is the blessing of your master to have a subordinate like you, of course, it is also your blessing to have a master like you, what is your name, if you get a benefit, you must share some." ”
The little brother just laughed, saying that the master called him Xiaoxi, as for the name or something, it didn't matter anymore, Xiao Qi said: "Very good, this name is very good, Xiaoxi leads the way, let us solve your family's troubles, let you rejoice again." Xiaoxi smiled and walked into the door, and Lu Mu also followed.
Chu Mansion is very large, compared to Wang's Mansion is like this, the scenery in the courtyard is indeed very ordinary, regardless of the color of the courtyard wall, or the design of the corridor is very simple, there is no criss-crossing, meandering, all straight from this side to the other side.
The only thing worth caring about is that there are many stone tables, not far from the one, except for the size of the stone tables, the style is almost the same.
Even a person like Lu Mu who didn't care about the scenery inevitably muttered in his heart, which was a little too casual, and it was a little different from what he thought before.
Follow Xiaoxi and the three to a house, as soon as they entered the door, they saw an old woman sitting in the lobby, and before Yu Mu came to observe the old woman, he said: "It's really two girls, I thought Xiaoxi was coaxing me?"
From the old lady's tone, Lu Mu could hear that she was somewhat dissatisfied, and the three of them saluted the old lady, and the old man ordered them to sit down and let someone serve them tea.
After sitting down, Lu Mu saw the old man's appearance clearly, like most old people in the world, the years had left traces on their faces.
Hidden under the full wrinkles is peace, at a glance it is clear that she has experienced a lot of things, and there are few waves in her heart, the old man's hair is gray, very cleanly combed, and there are some decorations, the decoration is very simple, there is no eye-catching.
The old man's eyes were already a little cloudy, but they could still shine from time to time, and the old lady held a string of prayer beads in her hand, turning slowly and regularly.
The old man looked at Lu Mu and said, "What is the relationship between you, a man and two women walk together like this, the relationship should be unusual." ”
Lu Mu said: "This is my confidante, this is my sister." ”
The old lady smiled and said: "This is reasonable, you are very compatible, you don't know your talent yet, but this girl's appearance is very good, and she can match you enough." Lu Mu said thank you.
The old lady looked at Xiao Qidao again: "Your sister-in-law is also a beauty, she should be very likable, and it is indeed not easy for your sister-in-law to have such a relationship, your parents are blessed." The old lady's tone was completely different from just now, in Lu Mu's opinion, she was just an old man at this time, an old man who cared about the younger generation.
After such a greeting, the old man's tone became serious again: "Do you know the purpose of your coming here, do you know what the consequences will be, Xiaoxi should tell you, I still have to repeat, our Chu Mansion is a good official family, we are also reasonable people, we will not do things to bully others, but we will never allow others to deceive us, especially in this matter." ”
Lu Mu said: "We all know that since we are here, we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer, if it doesn't work, we will naturally suffer the consequences." ”
The old lady looked at Lu Mu and said: "Do you know what the consequences are, although there are three of you here, and two of them are girls, the punishment will fall on you, although thirty sticks is not a lot, but ordinary people can't stand it, you can think about it." ”
Lu Mu said: "Naturally, I have thought about it, if you don't believe it, I can also make a note." ”
The old lady laughed and said, "No, no, if you dare to do this, it's the best note, please drink tea, drink tea." ”
The old man was very happy, and the Buddhist beads in his hand were also put on the table, and he took the crutches beside him in his hand, and the maids around him immediately came up and reached out to help, but the old lady did not stand up, nor did she put the crutches back in place, took them in her hands, and knocked on the ground from time to time.
Yu Jin said: "Old lady, we will bear the punishment, before this there are some things to say clearly, the so-called right medicine, we must understand what the symptoms are, if there is anything bad to say, please forgive the old lady." ”
The old lady looked at Yu Jin and said: "I naturally understand this, good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles, we have nothing to hide here, you can ask what you know, what I know will say, as long as you can make him change his mind, I am willing to do anything." ”
Yu Jin said: "Actually, I'm just a strange thing, the old lady should also be a learned person, the so-called glory and wealth are just nothing, isn't it a good thing that the son can cultivate?"
The crutches in the old lady's hand stopped, her hands were tightly clenched, she looked at Yu Jin, she didn't say anything for a long time, she also looked at the old lady, the old lady sighed and said, "Do you think the cultivation of immortals really exists?"
Yu Jin smiled, this question is very simple, especially for Yu Jin and them, this is a very certain thing, they themselves are immortals, it is the best proof, there are too many examples, mortals know the examples, but Yu Jin did not say so, and she didn't know why at that moment.
The old lady smiled slightly, put down the crutches again, and said: "I have lived for eighty years, this age is considered a long life, there will be no regrets when I leave, I don't have any other ideas, I just want my children and grandchildren to be happy, the glory and wealth you just said, it is good to have nature, but there is nothing, there is nothing, peace is the most important thing." ”
It may not be accurate to say that the room was quiet, and the whole world was quiet, and there was nothing but the old lady's voice, and they didn't care.
The old lady said slowly, without joy, without sadness, or even without any ups and downs, and just said plainly.
is telling his own story, and it seems to be the affairs of the people of the world, there is no deliberate concern in every sentence, but the warmth can be reflected everywhere, that is, an old man, unlimited expectations for future generations.
Lu Mu listened very seriously, all the people listened very seriously, Lu Mu has always felt that time can give a person the best everything, in the baptism of time, any truth will gradually emerge.
Compared with the old lady, Lu Mu has lived too long and too long, he is a cultivator, and his understanding of the Tao is much deeper, which is beyond the reach of the old lady.
From a very early age, Lu Mu knew not to be confused by everything he saw, and to experience the essence of things, only in this way could he truly understand and reach the realm of the Tao.
At this moment, I have some doubts, the Tao is all things, and all things are the Tao, no matter how small or huge they are, they are all Tao, and they are not Tao.
Lu Jin and Lu Mu had the same idea, she looked at the old lady and smiled: "So what you care about in the end is not the result, or whether the son cultivates immortals or not, it is the same." ”
The old lady said: "When I get old, I talk more, and I don't know what it means, so I don't know, maybe I just want to do my best to make his life better, that's it." ”
Yu Jin smiled, mortals have a saying called "children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren", everyone is an independent individual, everyone should have their own experience, only in this way will life be truly complete.
Everyone in the world can say such things, but there are very few who can really do it, and they can't help but do a lot of things for each other's good.
No matter what the final result is, it seems to them that it is like this, so repeatedly, repeatedly, never stopping, how many good things have been contributed, and some troubles have been added, this is mortal, and it is impossible to say why it came.
