"Benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, loyalty, filial piety, courage and ......" next to the green willow, under the red glazed tile is a study, the study is displayed in the simple, full of literary atmosphere, pen, ink and paper inkstone are neatly placed on the desk, a young child who looks like a teenager is sitting upright in front of the desk, with a middle-aged man in brocade clothes and wearing a crown of gold and jade hair reading.

The middle-aged man's face was serious, he straightened the boy's sitting posture, and said sharply: "Benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, loyalty, filial piety, bravery, and harmony, five virtues and five constants, also known as ten virtues, are the standard for measuring a person, and they are fundamental, don't say that we are ordinary people, even if the emperors of the Tianyuan Holy Dynasty have taught the emperors and grandsons to be people of ten virtues, but there are always shortcomings in people who are not saints, and it is rare that half of the five virtues and five constants can be done." Our Su family has ruled the family by virtue for generations, and the ancestors were even crowned the home of virtue by the emperor. ”

"As a father, I don't expect you to be an official in the court, I don't want you to become a generation of writers, as long as you understand the fundamentals of being a person, this is enough, you can do a few points, it all depends on yourself, remember the ten virtues. The middle-aged man repeatedly told him that he had a profound view of the Ten Virtues.

The child is very sensible, and a pair of shining eyes looked at the stern father in front of him: "The child understands that he will take the ten virtues as the root and behave as a man." ”

"Hmm!" The middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand: "That's all for today, you can rest." ”

The child closed the book, put it neatly on the table, and gently saluted: "The child goes first!"

With that, the boy turned and walked away, walking lightly, without haste or impatience.

This is the study of the Su family, the middle-aged man is named Su Yi, who is the head of the Su family today, and the child's name is Su Bai, which means innocent and clear.

The Su family is not a family of saints, but generations to run the family, calligraphy and painting books are hard to find, it is rumored that an ordinary calligraphy and painting in the Su family for three years and then take it back has the effect of warding off evil in the town, all say that it is the emperor Chrysostom, the house of righteousness and virtue, the righteousness and righteousness gather in the Su family, the calligraphy and painting are contaminated by the righteousness, contaminated with the righteousness of scholars and literati, and it has the effect of driving away evil and avoiding evil.

This Su family is almost unknown to everyone in Tongtian Mansion, even if there is no official in the family, even if the lord of the state capital sees the head of the Su family, he has to greet him with a smile and save face.

Su Bai left the study, first went to the front hall, looked straight at the front door, and walked over after a slight pause.

When the two family members guarding the door saw Su Bai coming, they bowed their heads slightly and showed their etiquette: "Young master, you want to go out." ”

"Is the old man here?" Su Bai looked at one of the family members.

"Are you talking about the old beggar?" said the housekeeper with a smile, "I came early in the morning, and I was not far from the door." ”

"Oh!" Su Bai replied and walked straight out.

The door of the Su family's courtyard house is very magnificent, the cyan glazed tile, the red door of Stanley, a pair of lion's mouth copper rings on the door, the copper nails are all over the door panel, directly above is a gold plaque, it is the two big characters of the Su Mansion, and then look at a pair of stone lions in front of the door, mighty and majestic, the eyes are blazing, as if they will come to life soon, the aura is contaminated by the Haoran righteousness of the Su Mansion, the original stone lion, the unicorn and the like are all things that drive away evil in the town, and now the breath is even better, and any evil and filthy things can not be approached.

Outside the gate of Sufu, less than three feet away from a stone lion on the left, a sloppy beggar with a rickety figure and tattered clothes curled up by the wall, his pale hair and beard disheveled and unkempt.

In front of him was a porcelain bowl with two large openings, and he looked back and forth at the passers-by with his cloudy eyes, and every time someone threw him a copper coin, he would smile and nod his head with a smile on his face, looking like a villain.

Su Bai walked to the old beggar's side, stood still, and bowed his hand: "The old gentleman is here!"

"What old gentleman, I'm just a man named Hanako, who wants food, how can there be so much attention to literary crepe, as long as I can let the old guy eat and drink enough. The old beggar looked at the immature child in front of him who called himself 'sir': "I said boy, you are a dignified young master of the Su family, I am a beggar, the difference between cloud and mud, I hope that the young master Su will not call me that in the future, how can I afford this kind of title, there are not many days to live, you call it like this, isn't it urgent, bad luck!"

"Everyone in the world is average, there is no distinction between high and low, born empty, after death is just a pile of bones, but the way you walk and do things differently, in the eyes of others you are a beggar, everyone sees you and wants to avoid it, so as not to be contaminated with filth. But as far as I am concerned, you are no different from those dignitaries and young masters, and there is nothing special about you. Su Bai looked at the old beggar and spoke eloquently.

"Gotta get it, I mean not you. The old beggar waved his hand and smiled flatteringly: "Old beggar, I have only gotten a copper plate until now, I'm afraid that the wine money is not enough, hehe......"

The old beggar smiled disrespectfully, and stretched out half of his palm, as if begging.

In the past period of time, Su Bai would always give a little bit of silver to this beggar every once in a while, and he developed a habit, every time the old beggar couldn't get money, he would come to Su Mansion to squat outside, waiting for Su Bai to send money out, but he could get some from Su Bai almost every time, it can be said that he tried and tested and developed such a habit.

Su Bai was also used to seeing it, and smiled slightly.

"I have it!" Su Bai bent over and put a grain of broken silver in the old beggar's bowl: "If the old gentleman goes back to the Su Mansion with me, although I don't know how to drink yet, there is a treasure in the house that my father has treasured for many years, and the old gentleman can taste it." ”

"I see, Master Su is about to teach you to be a nerd, and he is actually respectful to me a stinky Hanako, I really don't know how he taught it, I can just look at your wine, I can't afford to keep calling Hanako. The old beggar looked at Su Bai with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "It's you, Master Su, why do you almost have to come out to meet me every time I come to Su's house?"

Every time this old beggar comes to beg outside Su's mansion, whenever this Su Bai is at home, he always comes out to take a look and give some silver, which has almost become the habit of Su Bai and this old beggar.

Su Bai was accustomed to coming to give alms, while the old beggar was accustomed to coming to him to beg for it. However, the old beggar has always been very puzzled, he and Su Bai are not related, and there is no affection at all, but he is a bad beggar and has nothing to worry about others, and he can't understand why Su Bai often gives him alms.

"I know that you are begging here, for fear that you will starve to death on the streets if you don't get the money, so I have come to give you some alms, at least enough to satisfy your hunger. Su Bai didn't hide it, and directly said why he had to go out every time he knew that the old beggar was coming.

"Beggars can be seen everywhere in the world, why don't you give more alms and let all the beggars in the world eat. The old beggar said with a smile.

Su Bai's face did not change, but he frowned slightly: "Although my Su family has some property, it is not my Su family to save all the beggars in the world, I know how important it is, and I can't afford this heavy responsibility." ”

"Then why did you come to my aid?" asked the old beggar.

"Don't do it because the evil is small, don't do it because the good is small, although I can't save the world, but at least I can protect you from starvation, maybe one day I can find a way for the beggar to sit at the table, eat a hot meal, and sleep in a bed. Su Bai's eyes moved slightly, this seemingly random sentence was really like a thousand catties of heavy burden in his heart, and he thought about it carefully.

"Your little boy's tone is not small, but you are more likable than other little dolls, for the sake of the money you often give the old man and my wine, I give you a big gift, I hope it will help you change the fate of the beggars in the world, if one day everyone in the world sings praises of virtue, flowers are brocade, fire cooking oil, there is no begging on the street, there is no wasteland on the ground, then it can be regarded as a credit to me. ”

So saying, the old beggar took out a gray cloth package from behind him, and he carefully removed it, only to see that he took out a golden silk cloth wrapped in something from under several shabby clothes, which looked like a book or something.

It is really incomprehensible that an old beggar dressed in tattered clothes can wrap it in a piece of silk cloth, and I don't know what kind of precious thing it is.

The old beggar stroked the things in his hand, opened them layer by layer, and a green leather thread-bound book came into view, and when he looked closely, the words 'Taoist classics' were written on it.

"It is said that eating people is soft-mouthed and short-handed, although I am a flower child, but I can't eat and drink so much money from you for nothing, do you know what this is?" the old beggar looked at Su Bai mysteriously.

"Dao Dian, isn't it written on it?" Su Bai said disapprovingly.

", as long as you know a few words, who doesn't know it's called a Taoist canon, I'm asking if you know what it's for?" The old beggar became more and more mysterious, his voice was lowered a little, and his eyes shone brightly: "I got this Taoist canon from the hands of an old Taoist who has reached the limit, he told me before he died, let me give it to someone who is destined, saying that this Taoist canon has the effect of enlightening people's minds and crossing people into the Tao, if you have a high enough understanding and outstanding talent, you can even lift the sun and soar with this Taoist canon, and it is not impossible to achieve immortals." ”

Entering the Tao, lifting the glow and ascending, becoming an immortal?

Su Bai listened to the clouds and fog, he didn't know what the old beggar was talking about, but he still understood the word immortal, it was the supreme existence that mortals looked up to, it could call the wind and rain, it could move mountains and seas, it could drive thunder and lightning and omnipotence, that was a legend among legends.

But Su Bai also knew that there were no immortals in this world, and no one had seen it, but no one said it.

Ordinary people pray for blessings on weekdays, burn incense and worship Buddha, worship the land and mountain gods in the temple, just worship in their hearts, no one has ever seen it, but these mortals who fear the fairy gods and because of a sentence with a god on their heads, once they believe it, they will die for it to dedicate their faith, never stop, until the end of their life.

"You haven't drunk it yet, why are you drunk? Su Bai only thought that the old beggar was talking nonsense, and he didn't think so.

"You kid, if it weren't for your courtesy and me, I would be reluctant to give you my treasure, but you say that I am talking drunk, I am really angry, give it to you!" The old beggar looked angry, and threw the golden silk cloth directly into Su Bai's hand.

Su Bai weighed the weight of the book in his hand, glanced at it carelessly, and then looked at the old beggar: "You said that this book can cross people to become immortals and attain the Tao, so why don't you go to enlightenment and cultivation yourself, wouldn't it be better to be an immortal yourself, so as to avoid the suffering of hunger and cold." But you just think of it as a treasure, if you say it is a treasure, but it is useless, where is the treasure precious? ”。

"It's late......" The old beggar shook his head when he heard it: "I think when I got it, my temples were already gray, and I can't read a few words, where is the understanding to understand the mystery, originally I wanted to take it into the coffin, I didn't want to meet you before I died, such a strange master, so I simply gave it to you, maybe this is also your chance with this book." ”

"Becoming an immortal is illusory, but it's not what I think, taught by my father, I Su Bai only hope to be a person with perfect virtue. Su Bai is the same on the outside, but in his heart he is thinking about the plaque of "Zhengde Home", whether it is the Su family or the imperial family, countless people want to become people of ten virtues, but there is no one in the past and present who can really do it.

"How can there be a reason to take back the gift of people, although I am a beggar, but I am also a little arrogant, don't say anything, if you really don't look down on this classic, you just find a place where no one is there and throw it away, I always call Hanako I bought drunk!" The old beggar didn't say a word, got up, and walked neatly towards the market, the broken silver in his hand was thrown out by him from time to time, but he looked happy.

Su Bai looked down at the Dao Dictionary in his hand, and only put it away for a moment before returning to Su Mansion.

Su Bai has been taught by the knowledge of the saints since he was a child, and his beliefs are firm, but he is also a literati and righteous at a young age, and the evil spirit is not invaded, but the immortals and gods say that he does not believe it, those are just apocryphal images in the gods and demons.

But he didn't like the old beggar said, find a place where no one was there to throw away this Taoist classic, like everyone who loves books, Su Bai also has the ambition to read all the classics in the world, although the one in front of him doesn't know what it is about, but it will be read by him one by one.

The sun sets over the western mountains, and the moon is on the branches.

The lights in the Su Mansion illuminated the stone-brick paths, and several of the houses were brightly lit, unlike the dim and dull houses of the poor people, and lighting candles was a luxury.

Sufu has thousands of acres of fertile land, and there is also the support of the book club, so it is naturally much richer.

In the back room, Su Bai opened the "Taoist classic" that was regarded as a treasure by the old Huazi under the oil fire.

The Tao is the Tao, the very Tao, what is the Tao.

There are only nine words in sight, not much.
