The young man is self-reliant in reading, and he has the grace to return to the alleys, eating and drinking, and people are unbearable and do not change their happy temperament.

Therefore, he worked hard for housework, shrunk his clothes and dieted, strained his muscles and bones, starved his body and skin, and did not feel sorry for himself.

It's just that since half a month ago, he has dreamed of a scene every night, as if there is a mountain, the mountain is very high, and the clouds and mist are shrouded, and there is a high platform in the middle, and the bright moon is like water, sprinkled on the Taoist body, distant and ethereal.

He sat under the Taoist, who turned into a water mirror, on which there was a scene of a happy family, one of whom was a beautiful young woman and an elegant man, with a young child, living extremely happily.

Later, the man fell ill one day and died soon after.

Eventually, the woman remarried.

All kinds of scenes, such as dew and electricity, change very quickly, and later the child gradually grows up, and it is clear that he has become his own appearance.

An occasional dream is nothing, and it has been like this for half a month in a row, and the boy has to be puzzled.

Corresponding to all kinds of things, plus the recent knocks on the side of the neighbors, there is suspicion in my heart.

It's just that he has a calm temperament and doesn't show it.

Today, as usual, after finishing the work in hand, I calmly entered the church to ask my mother.

He didn't look anything unusual before, but when he suddenly asked, Wang naturally couldn't hide it, and a different color appeared between his eyebrows.

Wang saw that the young man was not in a hurry, he was very calm, and thought: In the end, it is his species, even if he grows up in an ordinary family, this kind of bearing and demeanor is not a country child, it can be compared.

She said, "Since you have heard any rumors, I might as well tell you." Your original surname was Zhou, your name was Yuanliang, and your distant ancestor Zhou Bin also served as the prime minister of the Great Xia Dynasty. For hundreds of years, your Zhou family fell, until your ancestor Zhou Qin, became a county prince in Qingshui County, Guanzhong, and settled there, your grandfather and your father were also in Qingshui County, and your biological mother gave birth to you when she had a difficult birth, and then I married your father Zhou Hongwen. Later, because of some accidents, I had to move my family to this Shuzhong, just when you were two years old. Your father fell ill and left, and when he left, we were orphans and widows, and we had no one to rely on. I had to take you to marry the Zhu family. ”

Wang's words are brief. fell in Zhou Yuanliang's ears, not stingy with the thunderbolt of the nine days, it turned out that everything he saw in his dream was true.

Of course, he didn't see the Wang family abandon the things that he didn't succeed in, and the Wang family himself didn't say it.

He only knew that although the Wang family was not his biological ~ mother, he took him to remarry, which is really rare, this kindness. This nurturing grace is heavier than Mount Tai.

At the same time, he also knew that he was not a descendant of the Zhu family. I don't know how to deal with myself.

The sadness in his heart, the feelings of kinship, Wang can also feel it.

At that time, even if he had the intention of abandoning him, after so many years, he had already regarded the other party as his own.

Zhou Yuanliang retreated silently, and finally made a decision on the second day, saying that he wanted to go out to study.

Wang knew in his heart that he couldn't keep it, so he went with him.

Zhou Yuanliang left the Zhu family alone, only feeling that the world was vast, and there was no place to stay.

He thought of the mountain, the Taoist on the mountain.

In the end, he is a rooted character, and he vaguely knows in his heart that I am afraid that that person has a lot to do with his family.

He read the book and never forgot it, carefully recalled the scene of the mountain, as well as the grass and trees in the mountain, corresponding to the absurd scriptures he had seen before, and found that the mountain was very likely to be Wutai Mountain, which was also called Taiyi Mountain at first.

It's just that there are thousands of mountains and rivers along the way, and he is only twelve or thirteen years old, and it is difficult and dangerous to go there.

He couldn't help but say in his heart: "It may not be there, how can you go to thousands of mountains and rivers for an ethereal dream." ‘

Another voice in his heart said: "You have already broken your house and gone out, are you just going back like this." If there is a difficulty in the world, it will be easy for those who do it, and it will be easy for those who do not do it. ”

He grew up in Shuzhong, of course, he knew the story of the great Confucian Peng Duanshu's "To Learn a Song to Show His Nephew".

That article preached: There are two monks in Shu, one poor and one rich.

The poor monk said to the rich monk, "I want to go to the South China Sea, how about it?" The rich monk said, "What do you rely on to go to the South China Sea?" The poor monk said, "All I need is a bottle and a rice bowl." The rich monk said, "I have been trying to hire a boat to go down the river for several years, but I haven't been able to do it, so what can you rely on to go to the South China Sea?"

The border of Shu is far from the South China Sea, I don't know how many thousand miles there is, the rich monk has not reached the South China Sea, but the poor monk has arrived. People are determined to study, can't they compare to the poor monk on the border of Shu?

Even if Zhou Yuanliang couldn't find that Taoist here, he traveled all the way and traveled thousands of miles, and his knowledge in his chest did not increase.

Thinking of this, he was so proud that he could not help breaking off a branch and writing in an open space in front of him:

The child is going to another country,

If you can't learn to be famous, you vow not to pay it back;

Why bury bones,

Where is life not green.

Although it is an old work of his predecessors, it is in line with his state of mind at this moment.

This matter was also widely praised in later generations, until the future, Zhou Yuanliang was known as: a master of the world, and a word for the world's law.

It all starts today.

A few months later, Zhou Yuanliang arrived in Baishi Town, near Wutai Mountain.

At the foot of this mountain, it was extremely prosperous, and he also found that every household enshrined a portrait of a Taoist priest, just like the Taoist he saw in his dreams.

He already knew that there were immortals living on this mountain, and some people called that immortal the ancestor of Taiyi Mixed Yuan according to the ancient name of Wutai Mountain.

Listening to the preaching of the patriarch of Taiyi mixed yuan, there are countless disciples who have gone out, this is a radius of 100 miles, and in the past ten years, it has been smooth and peaceful.

The surrounding people are simple, and Jiajia is worshipped, like a Buddha in ten thousand homes.

It's just that a few months ago, Taiyi Mountain descended a Xianji, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there is only one road, that is a stone step, it is rumored that there are a total of 18,000 steps, only those who can walk up can listen to the lecture.

The stone steps are also strange, there may not be one person in a thousand people who can go up the mountain from here, and there are some martial arts masters or qi practitioners who do not believe in evil and use the method of moving and lightening their bodies. As a result, before reaching the top of the mountain, he fell.

The light ones hurt the muscles and bones, and the heavy ones are broken bones.

In the end, there are still some people who can pass. When others asked, no one cherished the broom, but just said: Where there is a will, there is a way.

Saying it is the same as not saying it.

On the second day, Zhou Yuanliang tried to climb the stone steps, and when he reached a tenth of the time, he was in a trance, as if he had come to a battlefield. He was a soldier with a large gun, fighting the enemy.

He was brave. Every battle must be the first, and there are countless big and small injuries, but in the end he survived. Time flies, and he also becomes a great general. Supporting the army in the border town. In the end, he didn't wait for the marquis, but waited for a cup of poisonous wine from the emperor.

With ~ tiger tears, drinking poisonous wine, the sky was dizzy, and he actually arrived at the foot of the mountain again, sweating profusely.

Blown by the cold wind, be smart.

At this time, the smoke is like dyeing, at the foot of Taiyi Mountain. The soil is dark and yellow, and the sunset falls. When you climb like clouds, you are lying on the ground, which is very charming.

Zhou Yuanliang was not attracted by the scenery, but he couldn't move at all and lay on the grass.

I couldn't help but chant: "The grass is spread across the field for six or seven miles, and the flute makes three or four sounds of the evening breeze; Xiao Langjun was born out of nowhere. ”

Some people laughed loudly, but the beads and jade shatters were not as beautiful as their laughter.

Zhou Yuanliang followed the sound and looked at his long hair, which was casually draped on his shoulders, and the moon-white robe was spotless, his face was like a crown of jade, and he looked forward to Shenfei.

He has seen thousands of mountains and rivers all the way, and none of them can match this person's demeanor.

He stood up suddenly, respectfully clenched his fists and said, "I don't know who you are?"

The man laughed:

"Sit and lie down and watch the white clouds float, and don't teach your eyes to know the Xuandu;

Qiankun Xu has no name, and he evacuates a husband in the world. ”

Its poetry is elegant, and people who are not free and easy cannot do it.

He bowed down again and said, "May I ask Gao Minggui's surname?"

The man said: "You know me, and my name is also taken by me, how to get in front of me and don't know it, you should be beaten." ”

I don't know where this white-clothed man took out a piece of jade Ruyi and knocked him on the back of the head three times. Then with his hands behind his back, Shi Shiran walked up the stone steps.

Zhou Yuanliang didn't know what to do, and suddenly realized that he was obviously the Taiyi mixed Yuan patriarch just now, the Taoist he saw in his dream.

It's just that he was attracted by his demeanor as soon as he saw the ancestor, although Zhou Yuanliang was extremely wise, at that time, he couldn't think of other things.

Wake up at this moment, but you have already missed it.

He repented in his heart, and suddenly thought: Isn't this patriarch knocking on my mountain with another deep meaning?

There are people climbing the stone steps in this mountain every day, and Li Zhichang appeared just now, and many people recognized it, but they didn't dare to come forward to disturb it.

He pointed at Zhou Yuanliang and said: "This person is confused, just now the ancestor was in front of him, but he didn't recognize it, and he was beaten a few times." ”

Zhou Yuanliang heard these people pointing and pointing, but calmed down.

The later it was, the fewer people remained, and with the cold wind and heavy dew of the night, everyone else left, waiting to come back tomorrow.

The moon rises in the east mountain, and before you know it, it is the time of the third watch.

Zhou Yuanliang saw that there was no one around, although he was sleepy and hungry, he still forcibly took a step and walked towards the stone steps.

Before, Taiyi Patriarch knocked him three times with jade Ruyi and walked up the stone steps, which was clearly to let him try again for the third watch.

He thought to himself that he would break the mystery of the plate and try again.

This time I climbed the stone steps, but there was no illusion, but the double ~ legs seemed to be a thousand pounds, and the more I got to the back, the more I couldn't move my feet, but with a tenacious heart, I persevered.

At the end of the stone steps he finally saw, in front of him, suddenly the soles of his feet went limp, and he rolled down from above, and he was horrified in his heart, and he rolled all the way down, and he didn't have time to feel the pain.

In the end, it was as if I had fallen into a big ball of cotton, waiting to open my eyes.

I only saw the pine slope cold, and the bamboo path was quiet.

There is a poem as proof:

The moon is clear and cold, and the eight poles are dust-free.

The deep trees are secluded, and the source water is slippery.

Flying fluorescent light scatters, passing over the goose word and arranging clouds.

It's a good time, and you should visit Daozhen.

There is a small courtyard in front, the courtyard door is ajar, and there is still a slight aroma.

He fell from such a high place, and in addition to the pain all over his body, he was able to move his joints and get up.

Zhou Yuanliang was about to enter the door, and suddenly thought of how he was so embarrassed, how could he meet this Taiyi Mixed Yuan Patriarch.

He went to the clear spring, held the cold water, and washed away the dust.

Although I was shivering, I was not so filthy.

He tried to enter the small courtyard, but he saw that there was a carved fence inside, and a table of wine was set up, steaming and fragrant. And the patriarch, who looked like a young man, sat cross-legged and breathed evenly with him on his back.

He was freezing and hungry at the moment, and he was almost about to pounce on it and enjoy the food.

Zhou Yuanliang still held back, respectfully paid homage to the patriarch, and at the same time reported his name.

But there was no response at all.

But the aroma of wine and food, little by little, penetrated into his nostrils, hooking his gluttony.

Zhou Yuanliang still didn't move, as if he had become a sculpture.

After a while, the patriarch woke up leisurely, turned to look at him, and said with a smile: "Do you still recognize me?"

Zhou Yuanliang knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you to the patriarch for your life experience, I can't repay the broken bones." ”

Li Zhichang raised his hand slightly, and there was a strong force to support Zhou Yuanliang, and at the same time, Zhou Yuanliang didn't know why, a warm current rose from his limbs, and the fatigue and strain of these days seemed to be swept away at once.

There is a feeling of rejuvenation.

This is not Li Zhichang's effect, but when he was cleaning outside the door just now, the clear spring was the convergence of the mountain veins, nourishing yin and moisturizing, until at this time, it was pulled by Li Zhichang's mana, and it showed its effectiveness.

Because he was extremely tired, and his whole body was even more hungry and thirsty, and he absorbed the spiritual spring like a sponge.

The table of wine and food has disappeared, but Zhou Yuanliang is not hungry at all.

His secret Dao Immortal Family's methods are really extraordinary.

Li Zhichang said: "Call me uncle, I am an old acquaintance with your father, you have come all the way over the mountains and rivers, I see it in my eyes, there are thousands of avenues and infinite spells in the poor road, but in the final analysis, it can be divided into three categories, you can choose one to learn." ”

Zhou Yuanliang didn't show a look of joy, and he went through hardships all the way, and he was even more indifferent.

He respectfully said to Li Zhichang: "I don't know what three types of mastery my uncle has?"

Li Zhichang said: "You can come here, you have a fate, and I will tell you in detail, the first type is the one who goes to the saint to learn, and after learning no supernatural powers or spells, but he can know what he wants and what to do; the second type is all kinds of wonderful ways, learning that can 'kill one person in ten steps, and leave no line for a thousand miles', happy and enmity, and laughing proudly of gods and demons; the third type is to meditate and participate in meditation, the heart is stable, and one day, see the nature and clear heart, and can become a Buddha on the ground." ”

Zhou Yuanliang said without hesitation: "I choose the first one." ”

Li Zhichang smiled and said: "What you have seen along the way, there are a lot of strong beams, why don't you learn from that happy enmity and hatred, and do the right thing for heaven?"

Zhou Yuanliang hesitated and said: "If it weren't for the fact that the world was not peaceful, there would not be so many bandits, even if there are sword immortal means, they can't get rid of the roots." ”

Li Zhichang said again: "In that case, why don't you seek the vast Dharma of the Buddhas, cross others and yourself, and make others good?"

Zhou Yuanliang touched his head and said embarrassedly: "The disciple still wants to leave incense for the Zhou family." ”

Li Zhichang said noncommittally: "When you enter my door, you don't taboo marriage, you worship under my door, an arhat can still be achieved, preaching Buddhism, persuading people to be kind, it is also very simple." ”

Zhou Yuanliang said: "The disciple still chooses the first one. ”

Li Zhichang said with a straight face: "The first one can neither be immortal, nor can it have magical powers, for the sake of your father's face, you regret it now, it's still too late, once chosen, there is no room for regret." ”

Zhou Yuanliang did not hesitate for a minute and said: "The disciple has no regrets. (To be continued.) )
