005 back to the heavenly machine to hide the shoes, and create into the dust
(Inscription: Is the Heavenly Creation Really Unfathomable? Not necessarily!) Some people point their telescopes at alien planets to find the unknown, but ignore the mysteries that are readily available around them.) [Full text reading])
I saw that the other people in the Qing Ying Mirror were no different from usual, only this old man, Zhou, had a faint layer of golden light on his body. After the golden light around the old man, I noticed that there were also various light clusters around the other people, with different colors, most of them mainly white light, like a faint layer of mist, looming, and it was almost impossible to detect if I didn't look closely. Of course, this is not the most surprising thing for me, but the most special thing is between the old man's hands. When he pushed his hand to hug the circle, there was really a sphere like a white cloud between his hands, which was one with his body, and was faintly covered with a layer of golden light. As the hands waved, the cloud ball split and rotated, and a Tai Chi pattern faintly appeared.
"I can't imagine that there are still people in this group of people who cultivate innate vitality!" Feng Junzi's words broke the silence: "Your weakest thing now is the innate vitality, this old man will be what you need to learn the most, but it's a pity that I don't know Tai Chi and I don't know how he practiced, so you can find a way to apprentice." ”
I put away the Qingying Mirror and said a little embarrassed: "I don't know him either, just go to apprenticeship like this, can he teach me?"
Feng Junzi smiled: "I didn't ask you to go to him to learn this kind of thing now, I have to find a way to find an opportunity." Don't worry, we'll take a look elsewhere after seeing it here. ”
I walked around the stadium with the Wind Gentleman and then headed out to the east of the city. On the way, he bought two roasted sweet potatoes, and after the two of us finished gnawing them, the sun had risen very high, and we had walked to the Phoenix Bridge in front of us. The Phoenix Bridge also has a history of 1,000 years, and it has been recorded in the Tang Dynasty that it was destroyed in the war many times, and the most recent reconstruction was in 1987, which is the current bridge. The Wangchuan Bridge, not far from the lower reaches of the Jushui River, has miraculously been preserved from the Tang Dynasty to the present.
There is an open space on the side of the road to the west of the Phoenix Bridge, and I don't know when it has become a gathering place for fortune-tellers in Wucheng City. I saw a lot of fortune-telling stalls lined up on the roadside. Most of these stalls have a few feet of square paper or cloth in front of them, on which are painted gossip, palmistry pictures and other things, and there are also various advertisements such as "Clever Calculation, Mai Divine Appearance, Plum Blossom Easy Counting, Scientific Prediction" and so on. The fortune teller first sat behind the guise and waited for someone to come to the door to ask for divination.
To the east of the Phoenix Bridge is the Wucheng Farmers' Market, because it is a weekend, there are a lot of people who come and go here, and there are also many people who go to the stalls to tell fortunes. The Wind Gentleman took me across the street to stop and point to the row of hexagram stalls and said, "Test your eyesight again, do you see any of these people who are special...... Don't ask me to see for myself just yet. ”
To be honest, I've been relatively simple since I was a child, and I'm very slow to see people. I looked across the street for a long time, and I didn't see where the dragon was hidden, and the tiger was lying in confusion, and suddenly I remembered what I had just experienced in the stadium, by the way, why don't I use the Qingming Mirror! I took out the Qingying Mirror and used the mirror to shine for a long time, this time it was strange, and nothing appeared!
Feng Junzi saw that I took out the Qingying Mirror, and finally couldn't help but smile: "Shi Ye, why are you so dead-eyed, you don't need to use magic weapons at all times, it's better to use less of this kind of thing." Looking at people is a science. Let me ask you, look at that man - yes, the one who walked over to tell fortunes, guess why he was telling fortunes, what is the origin of the estimate?" asked me as the wind gentleman pointed to a man in his thirties, who was walking to a hexagram booth and sat down.
I shook my head: "How do I know I don't know him?" ”
Feng Junzi also shook his head: "Your eyesight really needs to be exercised." I'll tell you, this person came to tell fortunes because his family was in the middle of the road, or because he was losing a lot of money in business, in short, because he had lost his money, and it was in the last year. ”
I was a little curious: "How do you know the Wind Gentleman? ”
Wind Gentleman: "I don't know him. You see that the leather shoes on his feet are very shabby, aren't they? But you pay attention to what brand of shoes they are, and these kinds of shoes cost at least more than 3,000 yuan, and they are expensive in tens of thousands. Notice that the belt and shoes around his waist are a brand that doesn't look too old. The glasses he wears are also high-end, and a pair of goods costs three or five thousand. But what does it mean that the pants and jackets he wears are all sold for dozens of dollars?"
I didn't study the big shopping malls in Wucheng without researching clothing, and I never went to them. But when I heard the gentleman of the wind, I also thought that the man's glasses were indeed very beautiful, and they should be very expensive, as for the leather shoes, I can't see it, so I guess the gentleman of the wind is right. Hearing him say this, I also had a little understanding: "You mean that this person used to use very expensive things, but now it is going downhill." ”
Wind Gentleman nodded: "Not bad." The belt didn't look too old, because it was more durable, but the shoes were old, and his situation had deteriorated, which was what happened during the year. Why do you think this person is looking for a fortune teller, and what would you say to a fortune teller if you were a fortune teller?"
I shook my head again: "I'm not a fortune teller, how do I know!"
Feng Junzi: "Don't you know how to look at it if you haven't done it?" pay attention to the person's leather shoes, although they are worn but clean, and the clothes are very low-grade but very neat. It shows that although this person is currently in a bad situation, he has not given up hope and efforts. He came to the fortune teller because he lacked self-confidence, probably because he had been frustrated, and he doubted his ability to come to the fortune teller for comfort and encouragement. ...... If I were a fortune teller, I would first tell him about his current situation, and he would be shocked by him, and then give him a little more encouragement, so that he could regain his self-confidence, and the so-called charlatans are also a kind of routine......"
I see! It seems that setting up a stall to tell fortunes is also a science. I couldn't help but ask again: "I remember you told me the fortune teller one night, you said that if you don't do the trick, you are a liar, and if you are accurate, you are Yitong." How is it related to leather shoes again today. ”
Feng Junzi smiled again: "I brought you here today not to light up any magical powers, but to test your eyesight in the market." There are two industries in the world that require eyesight, one is an antique dealer, and the other is a fortune teller. Just looking at this person, I just gave you a line of thought, you follow this line of thought, and then look at those people on the other side, there is no one who is more special?"
After being reminded by the Wind Gentleman, I was a little enlightened. After I looked at it, there was one person who was different. I couldn't help but laugh to myself, because I was so stupid and so obvious, I didn't even see that this person was really a bit glaring! It was the beginning of November, the weather had turned cold, and most people were already wearing thick sweaters and coats. It was windy and felt cold by the river. However, in that row of hexagram stalls, there was a fortune teller who was wearing only a thin silk shirt. The silk shirt was of good texture, thin and wrinkle-free, and the long sleeves swung in the wind, revealing the man's bare arms. This kind of dress looks cool in the summer, but in the late autumn season, I am afraid it is not normal.
This is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a warm face and a calm expression. No one asked him for fortune telling, and he didn't take the initiative to greet him. I didn't notice what was so special about him just now, it was all because of his look, there was no cold in his expression, and if you separated him from the people around you, you and I wouldn't have thought that it was late autumn now. Everyone was in late autumn, and he sat alone in the middle of summer, but there was no unnatural feeling. It was this feeling that made me overlook his uniqueness.
Seeing that my eyes were already fixed on the man, the gentleman said again: "You finally see it." The spirit is full and the muscles and bones are strong, the essence is full and the cold and heat do not invade, this is not ordinary kung fu. If you can cultivate to his level, I can teach you a lot of things. ”
......
It was almost noon when I left from the Phoenix Bridge, and I returned to the west gate of the school. For lunch, he still invited the students, and he didn't have much pocket money, although his family was much better than mine, but he was not arrogant. I had roasted sweet potatoes for breakfast, and at noon he invited me to a noodle restaurant to eat wontons. The noodle shop is not big, only the proprietress is alone, and the customers are mainly students. However, a student from a mountainous village like me has never eaten in the school cafeteria, and it was the first time I had come to this stall at the school gate.
The first time I came to this noodle restaurant, I was taken aback. The reason for the surprise was none other than the proprietress of this noodle restaurant. I don't know if it's appropriate to call her "boss lady", because there is no "boss" in this store at all. As soon as the gentleman sat down, he beckoned: "The proprietress will come with two bowls of wontons, two pieces of dried braised incense, and four tea eggs." I followed the sound and saw her.
Twenty-five or six years old is a woman's golden years, and her whole body exudes the taste of maturity, and it is at the peak of charm. At the time, I didn't have the words to describe an attractive woman. I only feel that her eyebrows are slightly curved, the slender eyebrows have a provocative charm, her lips are pink, ruddy, slightly full, and the lip line has a little temptation, and the duck egg face is slightly pointed at the chin position, and the beauty is a little pretty. The most important thing is that the woman with those eyes and single eyelids is sometimes more charming, full of smart eyes, such as waves of light, and when she looks at her, her heart beats involuntarily.
"She's sexy, isn't she? She's the famous ravioli. The gentleman on the side saw that I was a little stunned, and said in a low voice: "You don't know how to look at women, you should look at women from the bottom up, first look at the legs, then look at the waist, then look at the chest, and finally the face." ”
I really don't see women very well and have little experience with the word "sexy". However, Feng Junzi's words gave me a strange feeling, and I asked in a low voice: "Feng Junzi, are you too precocious, remember that you will only turn fifteen next month." ”
Feng Junzi was a little unhappy: "Precocious, not necessarily, I'm just precocious, I'm not more than fifteen years old, and after the New Year, I will be seventeen." ”
While we were talking, the proprietress had already put things together, and she smiled and said hello to the Wind Gentleman, who seemed to be a regular visitor here. Mr. Feng just said that looking at women should be from the bottom up, I couldn't help but try to observe it like this. I have to admit that this woman is very durable, the more she looks at it, the more flavorful she becomes, and what the wind gentleman said also has some truth. When I saw her, I thought of other beauties I knew, such as Ban Hua Tian Wei and Ji Xiaoyu in our class, compared to them, they were more like slightly green oranges, and they still lacked a little heat. Why do I always think of fruits? Since I was in high school and living on campus, my little living expenses have been enough to eat the simplest meals in the cafeteria, and I haven't tasted fruit for several months, which seems to be slanderous! I suddenly thought of our homeroom teacher, Ms. Liu, what kind of fruit is she?
Seeing me there again, the gentleman couldn't help but poke me with his hand: "What are you looking at? What is the problem? What is so special about this boss?"
Isn't the beauty itself special enough? But the words of the gentleman suddenly reminded me of today's experience, the old man who played Tai Chi, and the fortune teller at the bridgehead were all strangers with magical powers. I looked left and right, and I still didn't see anything in the way, and my way of looking at people seemed impolite, but the proprietress was probably used to it, and when she saw me staring at her, she smiled at me. I almost didn't let go of this laugh, and I dropped my chopsticks to the ground, and to my embarrassment, my body actually reacted.
Feng Junzi also smiled when he saw my appearance: "Shi Ye, don't stare at others, you should have a nosebleed if you look at it again." I don't expect you to see any way right now. I've been watching this woman for a long time, and I still haven't figured out what magical powers she has. ”
"You haven't figured it out, so what did you call me to see?"
The gentleman frowned his nose and looked very funny. I only heard him say mysteriously: "Don't you think it's strange? This noodle restaurant has six tables and twenty-four seats, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner every day, but she is the only one inside and out. Buying vegetables, washing vegetables, mixing noodles, chopping, making wontons, making wontons, running the hall, and collecting accounts are all done by herself without a trace of messiness. You see, this noodle shop is too clean and tidy, how does such a woman do it? There must be a problem!"
I secretly laughed in my heart, and the gentleman was afraid that he would lose his eyes this time. After all, he was a child under the age of fifteen, and he grew up pampered in the city, and he had never seen anyone so hard-working and capable. And I have many hard-working daughters-in-law in different mountain villages, not to mention running a noodle restaurant, taking care of children, honoring the elderly, working in the fields, rushing to the market to sell goods, and cooking and delivering meals to a large family are all things to do every day. It seems that although the gentleman has studied the "Taoism" and does not know much about the "world", he actually regards the diligence of the boss lady as some great kung fu! Although I want to laugh in my heart, I don't have a point on my lips, so why let him lose face.
Seeing my disapproving expression, the wind gentleman said in an accentuated tone: "Don't be inappropriate, no matter how capable a person is, there is a limit, and it is not normal to come out of this limit." Look at her hands, the skin is so delicate, how can it be a little like hard-working?"
I also noticed that the lady had tender skin and could pinch out water, including a pair of hands that should work often, which was a bit out of common sense. But it's understandable to think about it, for example, the sister-in-law of the Shidong family in our village does farm work and housework like other daughters-in-law, but she is more white and tanned than other people, and some things are innate, right? Thinking of this, I asked the gentleman: "You brought me here to see this proprietress and what do you want me to learn from her?" Learn to make wontons?"
Feng Junzi: "Vulgar things are miscellaneous and not organized, and the color is hard and the color is not decaying." Can't you learn that? If you can do it like her, you can be considered to have a foundation. The Tao method does not necessarily seek from the secret arts. It's strange enough for me to tell you that I've known her for three years, what she was like three years ago, and what she is now. Today, I took you to meet a total of three masters, and this boss lady is also one. Both of them can see that the way is coming, but this woman is unusual, and even I haven't figured it out, so I'll leave the rest of the task to you, help me figure out what kind of door she has. ”
"Leave it to me? You've known her for three years and haven't figured out what I can do?"
Feng Junzi said with a serious expression: "These three people, you now know that you have to find a way to get close to learn what you want to learn. I'm just showing you the way, and it's up to you to make it. I don't expect you to learn everything, as long as one of the three is willing to teach you a little method, you will be saved. Don't take it lightly, your life is at stake. ”
"What exactly should I do? Can you give me a hint. ”
Feng Junzi: "Do you still need me to teach you? Give some hints, you can also go to the playground in the morning to practice Tai Chi with the old man and the old lady, and after practicing Tai Chi, go to the bridge to see people and tell fortunes." Come here for ravioli in the evening after school. Every day, insist on mixing it first. ”
I subconsciously touched my pocket: "It's no problem to practice Tai Chi and watch the excitement, but this day the world is ...... restaurant" I told the truth. My parents have to support my son who is in high school in the countryside, and I have a younger sister who is in junior high school, and I am barely able to make ends meet. My little living expenses are enough to eat the simplest meals in the school cafeteria, how can I have spare money to eat wontons. This is already the cheapest consumption in the eyes of many people in the city, but I still can't afford it.
Feng Junzi seemed to see what was on my mind, and said to himself: "A bowl of wontons is five cents, and two dough cakes are three cents a dollar, which is about the same as a meal." (Do you think it's cheap? This is the price of November 19**!) said and took out a few bills from his pocket: "Count me unlucky, nosy, and pay money, here are twenty yuan, I have so much left in my pocket, you save some and eat a month's wontons first." ”
And this kind of thing? The gentleman actually gave me twenty yuan! Seeing his appearance, he was very reluctant, but he still paid it to me. I was embarrassed to ask for his money, so I naturally excused myself for a long time. However, the gentleman insisted that I accept it, and said that this was to inquire about the news, and the money was conditional, that is, I must tell him what I learned from the three masters in the future. With this condition, I finally accepted the money.
......
When the sun went down, I went back to the classroom with the Wind Gentleman. Just after dinner, it was still early in the self-study time, and there was no one in the classroom. When I walked to the door, someone had written a big word "dream" on the door with chalk, which was exactly the same as what I had seen in my dream last night! Could it be that what I saw in my dream yesterday was actually a real scene in reality? What kind of dream was this? I was in a bit of a trance at the words on the door.
"I wrote this word!" Ignoring my stunned look, the Wind Gentleman reached out to wipe off the handwriting, pushed the door open, and walked in. The door opened, and the little girl was still sitting in the classroom. Unlike what she saw in her dream, she regained her dazed look in reality, and she didn't see me, nor did she realize that the Wind Gentleman walked into the classroom. Seeing that I was still standing outside the door, the Wind Gentleman waved to me and said, "What are you still doing there, come over and give me the Qingying Mirror." ”
I walked over and handed the Blue Mirror to the Wind Gentleman. Feng Junzi raised the Qingying Mirror with his right hand, aimed at the direction of Yiyi, held my right hand with his left hand, and said in his mouth: "Borrow the magic power and use it!"
Again, why does the wind gentleman always "use his supernatural powers"? I only felt a sour feeling all over my body, and when I saw Yiyi's figure suddenly become blurred, it seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind, and when it was about to drift away, it turned into a black mist. The mist first dispersed and then gathered and flew into the Blue Mirror with a whoosh.
"Wind gentleman, you, what happened to Yiyi?"
"The Blue Shadow Mirror is infinitely useful, you kid will study it slowly in the future. I will now receive her into the Qing Ying Mirror, you have to be careful, don't fiddle with this mirror again for a while, if you accidentally refine her Yin God, it will be troublesome. Forget it, even your little supernatural power can't use the refining spell of the Blue Shadow Mirror. As he spoke, the Wind Gentleman let go of my hand and handed me the Green Mirror Mirror.
I finally understood that Yiyi was included in the Qingying Mirror by the Wind Gentleman. I carefully held the Mirror and put it in my bag. Then he asked the gentleman: "What should I do next when everything is settled?"
"Who says it's all over? You're just getting started. I still can't figure out what kind of Taoism those three people know, even if they are willing to teach you, with your current foundation, I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the door. So starting today you have to learn the path of meditation. The Tao is ten million to adjust the mind and enter the first level of meditation, and if you can't reach this realm, everything you learn is in vain!"
"Tune in? You didn't teach me?"
"Why are you in a hurry, I'm not going to teach you! Here's a book for you to take and see, there are three places where I draw lines, and the places where I draw lines are mantras, so you should study them yourself. As he spoke, the gentleman walked over to his desk, took out a book from a drawer and threw it to me.
The Wind Gentleman threw me a book, and watching it fly towards me from the sky, I felt a little nervous and a little excited. Is there a spell that leads to the magical door? I was shaking my hands a little as I picked up the book. But his eyes widened, but his heart seemed half cold - in his hand, the book was not thick, and there were two big characters on the pale blue cover, "Zhuangzi", and then there was a line of small characters below: "Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House". When I turned the first page, there was a stamp, and I also knew four words: "Xinhua Bookstore". Damn, is this the legendary secret?
