"Grandpa, what are you doing painting in the cave, and there is no one in this cave, who are you painting it for?" Shancai looked up at Taishang Laojun, who was waving a paintbrush and dancing on the wall, and asked puzzledly, his big clear eyes were full of innocence.
"Oh, hehehe......" Taishang Laojun replied while flying the brush in his hand vigorously: "Good money, this painting, it is not for viewing!"
"Isn't it for seeing?" Shancai sucked his fingers, and his heart became even more confused, "Isn't painting just for seeing? If no one is looking, then what's the point of painting?"
"Oh, hehehe......" Taishang Laojun lowered his head and dipped it in paint, and said with a smile: "Of course it makes sense, this painting painted by grandpa can save the lives of many people in the world, and the most important thing is that it can save a child." ”
"Oh, one painting can save the lives of many people in the world, old man, why don't you paint more to save the lives of everyone in the world?"
"Oh, hehehe......" Taishang Laojun picked up a paintbrush and nodded his eyes to a white-bearded old man who had just finished painting, and the old man was roasting roast chicken, vividly, "Good wealth, you take a closer look at these people painted by grandpa!"
"Look closely! Grandpa. ”
"How do you think these people painted by Grandpa are different from ordinary people?"
Shancai tilted his head, carefully examined the people in the painting one by one, and replied, "Shancai thinks it's no different. ”
"Oh hehehe...... If you only look at the people in this painting, there is indeed no difference between them and ordinary people! But whether they are the same or not is not the person in the painting, but the story in the painting. Taishang Laojun paused his brush, turned his head to look at the good wealth beside him, and continued: "Now grandpa will answer your question again - why doesn't grandpa paint more to save all the people in the world?
"Oh!" Shancai nodded as if he had realized, still sucking his fingers, and looked up intently at Taishang Laojun to continue the dragon and phoenix dance.
After looking at it for a while, Shancai's heart was full of new confusion, and he opened his mouth to ask Taishang Laojun: "Grandpa, do the people in this story you painted have names?"
"Well...... Yes or no. At this time, Taishang Laojun was adding a pig-slaughtering knife to the hand of a man with a full face and beard: "Otherwise, Shancai, you will come and name them?" What should you name the bearded uncle I am drawing now?"
"Hmm......" Shancai pondered for a long time with a focused face, and replied: "Why don't you just call him Zhang Dashanren!"
"Oh?" Taishang Laojun paused his brush again, turned his head to look at Shancai, and asked, "Why are you called a good person?"
"Because I think he's supposed to be a good person, and I think in Grandpa's story, everyone will be a good person!" Shan Choi smirked.
"Okay~" Taishang Laojun dipped it in paint, sketched the last stroke of the pig slaughtering knife and stopped drawing it, and then drew an unkempt little flower not far from the bearded man, and added a roast leg of lamb to his hand, "Then according to Shancai, everyone in this story is a good person!"
"Hehe......" Shancai heard Taishang Laojun say this, his heart was very happy, he sucked his finger, moved a few steps inside, stared at a place on the painting frowned, and then pointed there with his finger, and asked Taishang Laojun:
"Grandpa, grandpa~ Why is there an ugly-looking person tied to that pillar?"
Taishang Laojun looked in the direction pointed by Shancai and replied: "Because it has eaten the person in the painting! If it eats a person, it should be tied to the stake and punished! How can a person who eats a person be beautiful?"
"Oh, I see, then in Grandpa's painting, why does it eat people?"
"Because it's to save a man!"
"Huh?" the baby's eyes widened, and his expression was incredulous, "It actually wants to save that person by eating people, what kind of person is it saving?"
"He is the most important person in the whole world, in his heart!"
"Oh!" Shancai lowered his head, and couldn't help but feel pity in his heart, "in order to save the most important person in the whole world in its heart, but it wants to eat others, and the person who is eaten is not the most important person in the world in the hearts of others?"
Taishang Laojun listened to the baby's emotion, his expression became solemn, he sighed, and replied to Shancai: "Alas...... Everyone has the most important person in the world living in their hearts, and everyone also has a heart that leaves the most important position for him to live in. The person who eats it is not the most important person in the world in the hearts of others?"
Taishang Laojun looked up to the sky and sighed, and continued: "So, grandpa painted this mural in this cave, so that the people tied to this pillar could eat the people in the painting, not the people in the world, and this is what I just told you - this painting can save many people in the world. ”
"Oh!" Shancai nodded vigorously, and suddenly realized.
Taishang Laojun glanced at Shancai again, pointed to the mural and asked:
"Good wealth, what do you see in the valley in this painting?"
Shancai looked in the direction pointed by Taishang Laojun, and the place where his gaze fell surprised his heart:
"Huh, isn't this the big white bull that rode under me when we came?
"Oh, hehehe...... Taishang Laojun proudly put his hands behind his back, "This big white cow, except for the person who painted it, only you can see it, it belongs to you alone!"
"Oh, I'm the only one who can see it?" Shancai wondered, "Then why can't anyone else see it?"
"Because, only those who have kissed your mother can see it!"
As soon as Taishang Laojun mentioned the mother of Shancai, it seemed that Shancai suddenly remembered something, he stood on tiptoe, straightened his neck, looked around vigorously from front to back, left and right, but did not find anything, and asked anxiously: "Grandpa grandpa~ Where is my mother? Why is my mother gone? And why is the big white bull that rode all the way gone?!"
Taishang Laojun put down the paintbrush, squatted down, and kindly stroked Shancai's immature face: "Shancai, your mother will be back soon! Grandpa will take you to a place to wait for her, okay?"
"Good!" Shancai rejoiced again when he heard that his mother would be back soon.
Taishang Laojun stood up and looked at the mural, as if trying to find anything unsatisfactory. He stared thoughtfully at the man tied to the stake, looked at the dry wood piled up beside him, and then picked up his pen again, drew a banana fan in the mouth of the big white cow in the valley, and then put the brush away with satisfaction.
"Let's go, Shancai, take you to the place that grandpa just said and wait for your mother!" Taishang Laojun squatted down, picked up Shancai and walked to the depths of the cave.
Walk until the end of the cave, where it is pitch black, and you can't see your fingers, only white, gold, purple, red, and blue five large tadpoles of different colors are intertwined and flying in the air.
Taishang Laojun put the good wealth on the ground, untied the purple gold and red gourd hanging on his waist, raised the dust in his hand and waved it lightly into the air, only to see the gourd fly into the air, white, gold, purple, red, blue five colors of ink flowing out of the mouth of the gourd, crystal clear, poured on the ground.
"Good wealth, go over and put your feet on the multicolored ink. ”
"Hee-hee-......" Shancai felt that the five-colored ink was magical, so he jumped and ran over.
When Shancai stepped on the five-colored ink, Taishang Laojun stretched out his hand, took the purple gold and red gourd that slowly fell from mid-air, and waved the dust to the air, only to see a cyan poisonous snake flying towards the top of the cave from the dust, lying in the center of the cave roof, spitting out letters. At the same time, a golden light flashed through the long mural in the animal path.
Whisk the dust three times, and know right and wrong. Taishang Laojun waved the floating dust for the third time, only to see that the five-colored ink under the feet of Shancai suddenly held up Shancai, and slowly rose into the air, until it reached the top of the cave.
"Hehehe......" Shancai thought it was all too funny and laughed out loud.
Suddenly, I saw that the five colors of ink converged in five lights, shining so brightly that Taishang Laojun and Shancai couldn't open their eyes. When the light subsided, he found that Shancai's body had been turned upside down, upside down on the body of the poisonous snake that was sitting down, and the five beams of light of different colors of white, gold, purple, red, and blue also slowly shot in five directions, gradually illuminating the entire six centers, and at the same time, a black beam of light entered the line of sight, this optical fiber was no different from the shape of the five beams, it had always existed, but it was too dark here, and no one could notice it.
The six beams of light shot into the six caverns below, and then the depths of the caverns also emitted a faint light, and the cracked ground was filled with a red flame color.
"Hehehe......" Shancai smiled from ear to ear, he thought it was particularly interesting to stand upside down.
Taishang Laojun took back the dust, raised his head, looked up at the good wealth, and said: "Good wealth, is it interesting?"
"Oh! It's so funny!" Shancai looked around, and found a little pig lying on his left and a pigeon on his right, and he said happily: "Old man, there are still little animals on it!
"Oh, hehehe......" Taishang Laojun smiled with his beard, but it was not difficult to see from his expression that his smile this time was very bitter, not from the bottom of his heart, "Good money, you are here to wait for your mother, no matter what happens, don't leave, otherwise when your mother comes back and finds that you are not there, she will never come back! You listen to grandpa, wait for your mother here, grandpa will go back to Tushi Palace first, okay?"
"Okay!Hehee, old man, go back with confidence, I'll just wait for my mother here!" The good fortune was poured on the poisonous snake spitting letters, and he looked around, full of curiosity about all the new things around him, and his heart was infinitely happy.
Taishang Laojun turned around, dragged his heavy steps, walked slowly towards the way he came, he took two steps, stopped again, looked back and reluctantly forgot to glance at the elated good wealth, and a trace of tears flashed in his eyes.
His back gradually disappeared into the depths of the cave, and this walk is three hundred years.
