Part 2: The Great Hidden in the Dust.Chapter 178: Traveling Thousands of Miles Alone
The Tao is everywhere, virtue is everywhere, the Tao is vulgar, the Tao is also vulgar, the Tao is the custom, the vulgar is the Tao, the vulgar is the Tao.
For more than three months, after leaving the capital by train in June, I began to wander on foot, many cities, villages, mountains, wilderness...... And so on, all of them have left my footprints.
I completely forgot that I was a cultivator, and before I had reached the point of emergency, I hardly used any of my supernatural powers, and I had restrained my cultivation aura, and my whole person was no longer ordinary.
During this period of time, I would experience everything around me with my heart every moment, and even I worked on a construction site in a town for half a month, just to make money to buy some local fun things.
When I left the capital, I only had a few hundred yuan on me, and I only had a few dozen yuan left after the cost of the train ticket, and the card my cousin gave me was also on me, but I never used that card.
Like a wanderer, I try to experience it as an ordinary person
I didn't even deliberately enter the cultivation anymore, but through my daily life, survival in the wilderness, and communication with others, as time passed, I gradually felt that my Dao practice was more refined than my previous deliberate cultivation.
The Tao does not work all the time, I feel that the road I walk is the Tao, and everything around me is the Tao.
In the past few months, my inner world has gradually become very quiet, peaceful, solid and calm, although I am in the red dust most of the time, I feel that I am spotless.
My state of mind is clearer than ever, like a clear moon and a mirror without dust...... I finally realized what a real vacuum is.
Then, I reflected everything around me with my inner world, observing everything from time to time, and I felt that I gradually realized something. There was no longer any confusion in my heart, everything was so clear, serene and natural, and I, with the converging of my divine powers and divine consciousness, gradually began to communicate with all things. is the real vacuum.
This kind of experience made my heart even more detached from everything.
It seems that the Tao ...... Getting closer and closer to me.
I also finally understood the concept of Chinese Taoism integrating nature: the communication and integration of man and nature will gradually balance and complete one's body and mind, and nature is the most perfect existence. Only by returning to nature can it be possible to create a perfect life.
Gradually, I felt that my life was very beautiful, and my life was very quiet and solid. All the way to see the first release of Chinese network.K.
In the past, I thought I had seen through the red dust. Now, I don't think about these things anymore, I just want to base my life on reality. In the red dust, inspirational cultivation is true in this life.
When I was working on the construction site, I was surrounded by some men from all over the world, and the stingy contractor almost squeezed everyone's time and energy.
"Bitter!"
That's the word I heard the most at the time.
On the day of the salary, I saw "joy" on everyone's faces, and on their faces.
I found that the bitterness in other people's mouths is the intensity of labor, but I feel that bitterness is a kind of tempering in my heart. To be honest, with my life in the past 20 years, I went to the construction site for half a month to work for 300 yuan, and I was completely unwilling in my heart, but I still tried it. I tried to hone my temperament to meet my self-cultivation requirements. This is suffering for me.
It seems that, in essence, I am still a cultivator.
Think about it, these are actually nothing, in ancient China, there were cultivators who even went to the land of fireworks in order to get rid of their desires, that is, to hone themselves between desire and Dao heart, and some monks went out to change their fate, but also to hone their own nature.
Thousands of meals all the way, traveling thousands of miles alone,
But it is a matter of life, and it spends spring and autumn.
No matter how hard it is along the way, but my heart has increasingly reached the realm of brightness, just like Zhongtianbao moonlight is full of emptiness, others work hard, and finally get the money, but for me, so bitter, the final result is the great happiness of the inner world.
The increasing training has not made any changes in my face, and the legend that cultivators will become more and more handsome as the Tao progresses has not been reflected in me, if you ask, what has changed the most in me in the past three months, I am afraid, it is my own eyes.
When I look in the mirror occasionally, I feel as if I can see the calm sea in my eyes, and it seems to be a treasure in the vast universe.
Also, my temperament has also changed slightly, I don't know if I am doing something strange in my heart, after three months of training, I look very natural and harmonious in my every move.
Of course, I won't wander like this forever.
Just when I had a few dozen yuan left on my body again, I ended this lonely trip, carrying a bag full of gadgets I had carved when I was bored, and got on a bus to Shanghai.
There was a young man with glasses sitting next to me, a very enthusiastic person, and as soon as I got into the car and sat down, he asked me, "Hey, brother, you are also going to Shanghai, right?"
"Yes. I nodded, looked a little, the young man with glasses looked like a little white-collar worker, very thin, very pale, but in good spirits.
"My name is Kang Jian, Healthy Kang, Healthy Kang. He introduced himself.
When I heard his name, I couldn't help but feel happy.
"My name is Zhang Santong. "I also reported my name, this trip, I also thought about changing my name to avoid trouble, and finally thought about it, it is not my style to steal the surname and change the name. After some conversation, I learned that it had been a few months since Kang Jian graduated from university, and this time I was planning to look for a job in Shanghai, and I also temporarily told him that I was also going to Shanghai to look for a job.
Kang Jian is really a very enthusiastic person, knowing that I am in the place where Shanghai has not settled, after arriving in Shanghai, he pulled me to find a place to live together.
I told him that I didn't have any money with me, and he shook his head and laughed, saying it didn't matter, he could give me a reversal first. I don't have absolute good intentions.
In this way, Kang Jian and I spent most of the day finding a very humble guest house and booking a room. According to the bosses here, most of the people who live here are college graduates who have just come to Shanghai to work or are looking for a job.
After everything settled down, Kang Jian asked me, "Santong, did you graduate from that school?"
I smiled and said, "I dropped out of college after a year." ”
"Ahh ”
Kang Jian asked me again: "Why don't we find someone to get a fake certificate and make a fake one according to my graduation certificate, otherwise how can you find a job?"
I said, "It's okay, I'll talk about it then." ”
Kang Jian looked helpless, and finally, at his suggestion, we found a photo agency after dinner to make some simple resumes, and in the column of my highest education, only high school was written.
In the next two days, there were several large-scale talent fairs, densely packed with people, and there were many talents who came to participate in the job fairs, and it seemed that most of them were college students who graduated this year.
When I came to look for a job, I was completely improvised, and I didn't determine any goals and directions, plus my resume of high school education, I didn't hand out a resume at the first job fair, following the flow of people, my interest was more focused on observing the talents around me.
In the afternoon, I returned to the guest house with Kang Jian, and told each other about the situation, and he handed over more than 30 resumes, after knowing my situation, Kang Jian sighed and said: "Dude, you must lose your face and cast a big net, how can you find a job if you don't attack?"
In the second job fair, I handed all my resumes to the companies at the job fair, this time, I selected some company's salesmen, Kang Jian said, according to my academic qualifications, a little decent can only be a salesman.
"I'm sorry, but the lowest requirement of our company is a bachelor's degree. ”
Many recruiters in many companies immediately threw my resume aside, and then didn't look at me directly, some recruiters were quite enthusiastic, and some directly despised me and insulted me...... I just think this is also a training for myself, and I face it calmly, my heart is still so calm. Because I'm looking for a job just to hone my heart, not to survive.
Kang Jian, majoring in computer science, was quickly hired by a company, and I didn't have a phone call after attending two job fairs. Kang Jian was very happy and anxious, anxious that my job had not been found, and whenever he saw that I was not in a hurry, he grabbed his hair in distress.
In the next few days, Kang Jian started to work and collected a lot of employment information for me through the Internet, but the other party hung up the phone as soon as he heard that I was a high school graduate.
At this time, I finally understood that if I wasn't a cultivator, it would be a problem for me to survive alone in this society, and that I wouldn't be able to find a job without graduating from college.
Kang Jian said that the minimum requirement to be a white-collar worker is at least a college graduate, and he tactfully told me that jobs such as waiters, cleaners, and security guards may be more suitable for me.
I thought to myself, too, it doesn't really matter to me what I do.
So, I participated in four more job fairs, read a lot of newspapers and online information, ran almost all over Shanghai, and in the end, I was really hired by a group.
