"What?" I opened my mouth in an O-shape, a position that I had never heard of before. I raised my face suspiciously, looking at the Taoist chief, wanting to know more about the situation.

The Taoist chief looked at me and asked, "What, is there a problem?"

I cut it and said with a smile: "The governor is fine, what is the problem with this micro-official." With my current talent, I'm worried that you're overkill and bury your talent. When Heavenly Court knows, it will definitely blame you. I think you should think about it and reassign me to a new position, such as a county or provincial government, and that's where I'm going. ”

Xiao Daotong puffed next to him and laughed.

With a cold glint in my eyes, I looked at him.

He coughed to cover his past.

I came back to my life, sat upright, gritted my teeth and said, "What do you mean, look down on people." ”

Xiao Daotong was also very angry about my provocation. He distinguished: "I didn't say anything, what are you angry with me, if you have the ability, you can go to heaven." Don't think that if you have some ability, you can bully people. I'll tell you the truth, with your little heart, these twenty-seven sesame officials are already exalted to you. The seat of the county capital is where you can sit, and I dreamed of you. ”

The Taoist naturally turned his hand and arm inward, he glared at the little Taoist boy, and said sternly, "You talk too much." ”

Xiaodao Tong's nostrils are facing the sky, not afraid.

I let out a sneer in my chest, then put down the signature pen in my hand, and said to the Taoist: "Why don't you let Xiao Daotong sign this contract, he is well-informed, strong in martial arts, and he is young and promising, handsome and chic, he will definitely be able to take on important responsibilities." With that, I looked out the window, where the clouds were shrouded and the peaks of the mountains towered. A row of geese is heading south.

The Taoist Chief's face sank, his eyes glared at me and said, "This is a joke!"

I said, "I'm not kidding, I'm telling the truth." You don't let people go, people have opinions in their hearts. ”

", you think it's a kid's playing. The Taoist said, stood up, looked at me, and then at the little Taoist boy. Seeing that we were silent, the Taoist chief said again: "What will become of such a serious matter if it is stirred up by you?" From now on, you all shut up for me. I've broken my heart for this, and you're still messing with me, and you still have a conscience. ”

After a while, the Taoist chief looked at me gloomily and said, "All of them have said, none of us can change the will of the heavenly court in this matter. I don't understand, you can't understand me, or you can't listen to me. Don't think that coming back from the uninhabited valley is great. I have suffered ten times more than you, and I have never complained. I warn you, don't show your suffering as success. If you have the ability to do something, show me some results, okay. ”

I twisted my head, unconvinced.

The Taoist chief said: "I know, you think the official position is small. However, have you ever seen people who have risen to the top of the ladder? They all start from the grassroots work, and then through their efforts, they will move up step by step. ”

What the Taoist said was reasonable, and I slowly calmed down.

Xiao Daotong was also deeply inspired, and he also relaxed his vigilance against me, and no longer held prejudice against me. He peeked at me with his eyes, a look of shame on his face.

We haven't been together for a long time, and we both have an inexorable friendship with each other. At such a moment, there is nothing to worry about.

I said to Xiao Daotong, "I shouldn't laugh at you. With that, he walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

Xiao Daotong was a little embarrassed, held my hand and said, "I shouldn't break the cold water on you." ”

Seeing that we quickly let go of our old enmity, the Taoist naturally comforted him. He pointed to the contract on the table and said, "If there is no objection, you can sign it." ”

Although I have an opinion on the twenty-seven sesame officials, for the sake of the Taoist chief's affection, I still picked up the pen and solemnly signed it.

The Taoist put away the contract and said to me, "Remember, after you have an afterlife, you will be a person and do everything, and you will have to do everything according to the requirements of the contract. If you break the rules of the contract, you will be reduced to stone and lose your life forever. ”

I opened my mouth again, surprised by what the Taoist had just said. This paper contract has been pressed on my heart like a stone.

I said, "So my life is bound by this blank slate." ”

The Taoist shook his head and said to me, "No, as long as you keep the contract, this life-threatening contract is just a piece of waste paper." Everything in the world is mutually reinforcing, and if you respect it, it will naturally repay you. If you don't respect it, it will in turn restrain you. Therefore, everything must be measured and not acted blindly. ”

"Don't worry, I understand these truths. ”

"I'm just afraid of being confused. The Taoist reminded uneasily.

"No, it won't. ”

Dao Changjian raised his eyebrows, his eyes showed worry, and he said, "Self-confidence is a good thing, but being overconfident is pride. In this world, no one can guarantee that they will not make mistakes. Not to mention ordinary people, even political dignitaries sometimes make mistakes. But you are different, you do not have the capital to make mistakes, and once you make mistakes, you will disappear in this universe. Heavenly Court didn't descend to you for no reason, they made a decision after careful consideration. That's what they say about you in your instructions. Say that you are kind in body and mind, and have the realm of great wisdom and foolishness. You are introverted but not stupid, flamboyant but not arrogant, you have an open mind, and you have no selfish thoughts. So, you have to think carefully about everything you do. If there are any difficulties and problems, you can go to a temple thirty kilometers away and find a Taoist surnamed Xu, who will solve the situation for you. ”

When the Taoist chief said this, I suddenly felt that I was lonely and unheard.

I fell into deep thought, this trip is not as easy as I imagined, and none of these rules and regulations can cross the bottom line. Fortunately, for all possible problems, Heavenly Court has shown me a way. It made it a lot easier for me.

"Is there still a problem with this contract?" the Taoist chief asked, seeing that I hesitated.

I looked up, looked at the contract in his hand and said, "No." ”

An inexplicable smile appeared on the face of the Taoist chief, and the smile couldn't tell whether it was a joke or satisfaction. Anyway, it's kind of weird.

My feelings tell me that maybe the difficult questions behind are just not to be told to me for the time being.

"When will I go. "In order to find out what the Taoist was thinking, I asked deliberately.

"There's no hurry. The Taoist chief said, pointing to the contract in his hand, and said, "If there is no problem, this contract will be effective from now on." ”

I said, "No." "I thought to myself, even if there is, I don't want to mention it. Because he always has a point, I'm convinced. I'm just weak now, and when I recover, all the unknowns are within my search.

"Well, since there is no problem, the matter is settled. With that, the Taoist chief held the contract in his hand. Xiao Daotong took it and put it in a white envelope. I thought he would put the contract in the archives, but I saw him meditate with his eyes closed, muttering something out of his mouth. After a while, the white-skinned envelope floated and flew towards the heavenly court.

Dao Chang Xiao Dao Tong took out a thousand-year-old elixir.

Two bowls were placed in front of us. Xiao Daotong poured us a slow drink, and then stood aside.

The Taoist chief looked at me with melancholy and tragedy in his eyes. He said: "You have to go, there is a long way to go and many difficulties. I have nothing to give you but this bowl of wine and do a great deed for you. ”

I picked up the wine, touched him, and turned my face up. The wine is good wine, but it is very spicy, I bared my teeth, stared at the blood-red eyes, clenched my fists and said to the Taoist: "It is enough to have your words!"
