The words say:

Just like the spring breeze pear blossom dance, it is difficult to walk on the mountain road at night. Breath blowing cold snow and hazy tears: revisiting the road when he came, he has been a dervishes.

Since ancient times, vicissitudes have been the right way, and joys and sorrows have interpreted life. The Zen forest is easy to enter the heart and difficult to empty! The feelings are still the same, and the ambition has become a fish and dragon.

It is said that in that chaotic world, there are nine heavens and earths, and it is formed by an abandoned space magic weapon called "Nine Heavens".

At this time, in the lowest world of the Nine Heavens, that is, in the world of the First Heavens, on the vast earth, for one or two decades, the higher rulers did not serve the country, and the lower ones did not cultivate themselves, so a mortal war was brewing.

This matter is a long story, so let's start with one person and one place, and talk about it in a long way. This man's name is Liu Maize, and this place is called Ping'an Prefecture.

Outside the city of Ping'anzhou, there is a small mountain thirty miles away from the city, called Lijia Mountain, and the town under the mountain is called Lijia Town. In Lijia Town, there is a guest inn called "Yuelai". Liu Maize was in the Yuelai Guest Stack at this time.

It was a time of severe winter weather and heavy snowfall.

Literacy teacher Liu Maize was born in a family of weavers, and in his early years in the army, he was quite appreciated by his superiors, just because he was still a literacy teacher. (The editor and the literacy master have already been introduced in the humble work "Two Worlds for Immortals".) ）

However, the word fate has made everyone in the world, Liu Maize has been out of the army since he left the army, begged for a mother-in-law, and gave birth to a baby, and it has become more difficult to support his family.

Liu Maize discussed with his mother-in-law, leaving his wife Xiuyun and son Xiaobang'er at home, and he went to Ping'an Prefecture City, wanting to find an owner and make a west seat, after all, he is a literacy teacher.

Unexpectedly, before he arrived in Ping'an Prefecture, he arrived in this Lijia Town, and this Liu Maize fell ill.

So Liu Maize was trapped in the Yuelai Guest Lodge in Lijia Town, and his body was already exhausted, and he didn't realize that he was already in the Yuelai Guest Inn, and he had lived in vain for nearly a month.

The shopkeeper asked the shopkeeper to urge him to say something indiscriminate, but Liu Maize was lying on the hospital bed, and he couldn't force him to leave for a while.

On this day, it snowed heavily, but Liu Maize felt that his illness had healed a little, so he tried to get up, looked at the heavy snow at the window, and felt something for a while, so he wanted to chant a poem in a sour manner.

At that time, it was nearly dusk, and a bell came from the old temple on the mountain of the Li family in the distance. This bell was striking Liu Mai's heart, so I heard him groan:

If the sound of the bell / the snowflakes fly and flutter / From then on, the world is dancing towards holiness / one by one / the butterfly of white jade / the soul

Gao Jie / Not an illusory word / Between the title pages of heaven and earth / The words of snowflakes / Spoken leisurely

The poorest is the snowflakes / The wandering elves in the wilderness / The fate of a lifetime is handed over to the wind / The richest is the snowflakes / The spirit is revealed to the years / More than the dancing gestures are handed over to the eyes

The snowflakes are flying/Who will appreciate the dance of the soul?/In the winter of thirty-three years/What snow is there/Not the song of tonight?

In the low place of life / On the mountain of dreams / The sorrow of snowflakes / can only be the sadness of fate / The dance of snowflakes / must be the exaltation of the soul

The bells from heaven are blowing / white jade butterflies fly all over the sky / with a lofty posture / reject vulgarity

A heavy snowfall / confessed / everything to me

This Liu Maize, just as he was still trying to polish his few little poems, he heard the door creak and was pushed open.

When Liu Maize turned his face to look, he saw the shopkeeper coming in. This little second-hand person carried an angry lantern and said to Liu Mai: "The guest officer looks good today, he can get up and stand on the ground." ”

Liu Maize heard this, and hurriedly said to the shopkeeper: "Yes, yes, thank you for your care!

The shopkeeper said: "Guest officer, you live here, you have been eating and drinking for nothing for nearly a month, my master said, since you can get out of bed, let's leave quickly!

When Liu Maize heard this, he was shocked, so he begged: "As soon as my illness is cured, I will go to Ping'an Zhou City to find an owner, and then I will have the money to pay off the accounts owed to your store, and ask the second brother to raise his noble hand, leave a way to live, and be tolerant!"

The shopkeeper said: "Guest officer, you want me to raise my noble hand to tolerate you, I am a cheap life, I don't have that pair of noble hands - my own bowl of rice is also a mouthful of rice rewarded by the master."

If you don't leave today, tomorrow the master will drive me away! If you want to live, don't I want to live, villain? I tolerate you, who will tolerate me? Since the master has told me to come and get you, I have to come if I don't want to come!

Guest, it's not easy for me to beg for a bowl of rice, you can do it, let's go quickly! As long as you leave the store, I will complete the task assigned by the master!"

Liu Maize had to beg again, but when he saw that the shopkeeper didn't pay attention to it, he took his burden and threw it out, and Liu Maize stepped forward to take away his burden.

Pity him Liu Maize's illness was only slightly cured at the beginning, how could he have the strength? That Xiao Er saw that he dared to come forward to grab the burden, and with a push of his hand, this Liu Maize fell!

Liu Mahai was ashamed and struggled, and it took him a long time to get up, and the little two only sneered. When Liu Maize got up, the shopkeeper said, "I said guest officer, are you leaving?"

Liu Maize is under the low eaves at this time, how can he not bow his head?

Liu Maize said: "Little second brother, please have mercy on me, where can I go in this snowy weather?

I still have wives and children at home, and if I die, how will their mothers and sons live? Second brother, please! Second brother, you are a good person, you are a good person, you are a good person, and your good heart is rewarded!"

The little second was determined to drive Liu Maize away, so he heard him say:

"Guest, don't talk about that useless thing. We don't want more than 20 days of food and lodging money in our store, and we can be regarded as worthy of you, right? Now that you can go to the ground, don't rely on it, let's leave quickly!

I have only seen those who kill people and set fires thriving, and those who eat fast and do good deeds but can't survive, and that is too many!

The day before yesterday, an old lady fell, and the person who helped her up was defrauded of two taels of silver—maybe, if you die in our shop, we will have to pay you for the coffin!

If I do this kind to you today, I will be dismissed by the master tomorrow! I'm sorry, guest officer, if you don't leave, don't blame me for being unkind!"

As he spoke, Xiao Er threw his burden out, and then turned around and pushed Liu Maize out.

Poor Liu Maize, where did he have the strength to resist at this time? He was pushed by Xiao Er and came to the courtyard of the Binzhan inn.

Some of the people who stayed in the hotel were already alarmed, however, although there are people in the world who are enthusiastic about the ancient way and help the needy, there is no one here! The other tenants just watched Liu Maize being pushed out, and there may be a trace of sympathy in their eyes.

Liu Maize was helpless, so he had to pick up the burden and go out of the Yuelai Guest Stack by himself. It was almost time, and there were no pedestrians on the streets, except for the occasional dog barking or two.

When I got out of the bin hotel and came to the street, I only felt that the wind was tighter and the snow was heavier! Liu Maize shuddered into a ball, and his heart was sad.

Liu Maize couldn't help but think back to the past: When I was a child, I heard A-Niang say that when she came to the world, A-Dad went to ask for good fortune and named herself. When I came to the village, I heard someone say, "I want to eat corn!" so he named himself Liu Corn.

Auntie also said that Abba came back that day, very happy, saying that from now on, our baby will be called Liu Corn, and he will not have no corn to eat in his life.

But what about now? Not only did I have no corn to eat, but my wife and children were starving with me! I went out to the city this time to ask for something to do, and I didn't want to get sick in this Lijia Town! I was afraid that with such a heavy snowstorm today, it would be difficult for my Liu Maize's life to be saved!

Liu Maize was in tears, thinking about it while moving forward, but where to go is the way he wants to go?

In the midst of the wind and snow, suddenly another bell sounded, as if piercing time and space.

Liu Maize listened to the bell, and had already heard that this was the Zen believers in the old temple on the Li family's mountain ringing the bell.

Liu Mai thinks that he can't die on this street after all, thinking that he is actually better than death, life is not beneficial to his wife and children, and death may be a relief for himself, right?

Thinking about his wife and children leaning against the door, just waiting for his own money to return, Liu Maize cried silently. I couldn't help but hear my son's voice in my ears: "Abba, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat!" Abba, is the meat delicious?"

At this time, Liu Maize had already come to the end of the street, and further on, he was out of Lijia Town. There was no one in the town, Liu Maize let out a sad voice and whimpered: "Little stick, my son! Abba is afraid that I will never see you again in this life!"

In Liu Maize's grief, the disease was not well in the first place, and he was excited by the wind and snow, so he felt dizzy at this time, his legs were weak, and he was confused.

In a daze, I could still hear the bell coming, Liu Maize was in the wind and snow, one foot high and one foot low, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and unconsciously walked to the old temple on the slope of the Li family's mountain.

Either be frozen to death on the street by this snowstorm, or go to the old temple to become a monk, perhaps, after I Liu Maize became a monk, there will be a chance to see his mother and son, if I freeze to death on the street, I will really never see my little stick again!

Liu Maize walked in a daze, thinking in a daze.

It's also strange to say, if it was a different person, in this case, he would have fallen in the snow a long time ago, but this Liu Maize, people were confused, but they didn't fall down, and they actually let him touch the vicinity of the old temple in the middle of the night.

At this time, there are still some lights in the mountain temple, which is the ever-bright candle on the Daxiong Treasure Hall, faintly revealing the light to the outside.

Liu Maize looked at the old temple that was near, and his heart was hot, so he sobered up a little and added a little strength to walk.

I never thought that when this person's life was cheap, it was exactly what the proverb said, "The dog is happy, there is no good day", and the saying is "When people don't leave, they drink cold water and stuff their teeth". Liu Maize was just a little happy for a while, and he felt that his feet slipped, as if he was stepping on a stone under his feet, and as soon as the stone moved, Liu Maize fell on his back and faced the sky!

Liu Maize was able to get up for half a day, and he was not angry for a while, so he groped on the ground, reached out and found something from the snow, and threw it with his hand, not thinking that he had no strength at this time, so he didn't throw far:

I only heard a "plop" sound, and the thing fell on the snow in front of me, black, and it was clearly reflected in the snow, it was a bowl, but it was three or four steps away from me.

Liu Maize's heart was gloomy, looking at this thing, it was clearly a broken bowl, and he secretly said in his heart: It seems that I, Liu Maize, am destined to become a monk, no, it is clear that God gave me a begging bowl, so I'll pick it up and keep it.

Liu Maize stepped forward to pick up the bowl and looked, although it was not black, it looked strong, and the bowl was not damaged, and there was a lid on it, although he threw it on the snow, the lid did not fall off, and it was still nailed to the bowl.

Liu Maize said that when this bowl is used to beg for hundreds of meals, it is good to have a lid, and the contents can cool more slowly.

When I thought about it like this, I really felt that when I held this bowl in my hand, I felt better. Liu Maize couldn't think of anything else for a while, and didn't think there was anything different about this bowl.

So Liu Maize put the black bowl into the baggage, still carrying the burden, and came to the gate of the old temple step by step.

At this time, the wind and snow are urgent, and the monks in the temple have already rested, where does anyone know that there is a Liu Corn outside the mountain gate at this time?

Liu Maize trembled and pounded the mountain gate, but the wind and snow were heavy, and he had no strength, so he couldn't make much noise, so naturally he couldn't alarm the people in the old temple.

Liu Maize was helpless, so he only leaned close to the temple gate, squeezed at the junction of the door and the wall, squatted down, and hugged the burden in his arms, in order to avoid some wind and snow.

In the second half of the night, the wind and snow became more urgent, and the weather became colder.

Beside the gate of the old temple in the middle of the Li family's mountain, Liu Maize gradually became confused - in his divine consciousness, there was already a hallucination:

Liu Maize seemed to see that he had made money, bought meat, and when he returned home, the little stick was jumping and jumping like a puppy......
