"Feng Junzi, I heard that cultivators avoid eating wine and meat, isn't that the case?"

"Ishino, you're right! Wine, meat, and meat are filthy, and their qi is not conducive to cultivation, nor is it conducive to cultivating the mind. Therefore, most of the cultivators are vegetarian and often do not eat...... The owner had two more beers and a plate of pork head!"

This is in a food stall outside the north gate of the school, and I invite the wind gentleman. Originally, I wanted to invite him to dinner, and the best place was Sister Han's noodle restaurant, but unfortunately the noodle restaurant did not sell wine and meat, so I only came here. The Wind Gentleman was talking about how cultivators could not drink wine and eat meat, while drinking and eating meat in large gulps. I looked at him and asked, "Then what are you?"

Feng Junzi didn't raise his head: "Do you mean me? The sage said that 'lust is also good', but I don't have a girlfriend yet, and if I don't drink some food, what's the fun in life! ”

I asked, "Test yourself, then why don't you go to Bigu?"

Feng Junzi: "Who would go to learn the fairy meal and drink the dew of the gods, and I am not a fool...... But if you want to practice, you can't follow my example. ”

"Do you say that the food wind and drink the dew are Bigu? ”

The wind gentleman shook his head: "The northwest flavor is not good, the southeast wind is alive, and if you want to drink it, you can also drink the southeast wind." ”

"So you've been to the valley before!"

The Wind Gentleman glanced at me: "Of course, do you want to learn?"

"When do you want to learn from me?"

Wind Gentleman: "How much money do you have in your pocket?"

"Why do you ask this?"

Feng Junzi Shi Shiran said: "When you invite me a few more meals, spend all the money, and have no money to eat, I will teach you to Bigu!"

So that's the case, then I still don't learn the style, and the gentleman doesn't have any kind eyes. The gentleman of the wind drank in the opposite seat, and he couldn't stop persuading me to drink, and we both drank a lot. His face was already flushed, and he talked a lot, only to hear him hiccup and ask me, "Shi Ye, have you learned fortune calculation with that Mr. Zhang?"

"Nope!"

"Who taught you the kung fu of casual Zen?"

"I heard Mr. Zhang say it, but what he said was 'Chrysostom Yuyan'. ”

Feng Junzi took another sip of beer, wiped the white foam from the corners of his mouth, and looked up and said, "The meaning is almost a prophecy. Let me ask you, did you tell Mr. Zhang that the painting was picked up from the waste paper pile of the paper mill?"

"I made it up. ”

"It's strange that I really picked this painting from paper scrap in a paper mill. That Mr. Zhang is as good as a ghost, and only by telling the truth can he not be suspicious. You're so amazing that you're telling the truth!"

"What did you say? That's really how that painting came about!"

Wind Gentleman: "That's true. Did I tell you about me when I was a kid?"

Then Mr. Feng told me about his experience as a child. Feng Junzi's parents should be alumni of Mr. Liu, but they graduated from college much earlier, in 1968. Things were a bit chaotic at that time, and his parents did not become teachers after graduation, but were assigned to factories to receive working-class re-education, and they all became technicians in Wucheng paper mills. After Feng Junzi was born, he lived in the Wucheng Paper Mill until the beginning of the reform and opening up, and his parents were transferred to the city as cadres before he left there.

When my generation was younger, we didn't have the kind of entertainment that children have today. Other children like to go up to the haystack to pick mushrooms and go down to the river to touch shrimp and crabs. Unlike the Wind Gentleman, he likes to roll in the waste paper pile, hide and seek, and when he is tired, he sleeps in the paper pile and finds a book and flips it through when he is bored (how do such a young child read books? This reminds me of the way I read a book).

The so-called waste paper pile is not really waste paper, but the old books and paintings handed over by the Lin Pikong Po Si or copied by the family, especially the ancient books bound in thread, the most, these books finally entered the paper mill and became recycled pulp. I don't know how Feng Junzi developed a hobby when he was a child, he likes to collect the things in these old papers, and if he sees something pleasing to the eye, he will take it home and put it away as a child's toy. He had a large camphor chest in his house, which was originally empty, but he had filled it up and still had it under his bed. That's how the old painting was chosen.

Feng Junzi has no teacher for Chinese Traditional, probably related to turning over ancient books since childhood, because our generation of teenagers has been teaching simplified Chinese characters since they went to school. Speaking of which, Feng Junzi asked me: "Shi Ye, have you read Lu Xun's "Kong Yiji"?"

"Of course, I've read it in Chinese textbooks. ”

Feng Junzi: "What I'm talking about is that I have a "New Youth" magazine, which has Lu Xun's first "Kong Yiji" on it. What you see is a repost, I support the original!" (Xu Gongzi's note: It's a little funny.) ）

"New Youth? Isn't that a magazine run by Chen Duxiu? It should be a revolutionary and progressive book, so why did it copy it to the paper mill as the four olds?"

Feng Junzi shook his head and said, "What is this, that magazine was only more than sixty years old at the time, and the painting I gave you is more than a thousand years old! This has nothing to do with progress or not, but rather to divide a culture and build a new ideological system. Qin Shi Huang did the same when he burned books and pit Confucianism, but fortunately he died thanks to the second Qin Dynasty...... I regret now that I didn't keep more...... To be honest, I can't help alone, but after all, I am also the protector of traditional civilization!"

The last sentence of the Wind Gentleman is a bit big, but if you think about it carefully, it is really like this! I heard the Wind Gentleman ask again: "Shi Ye, do you know why I taught you only half a set of Golden Bell Jar Kung Fu?...... That's because the cheats I picked up were fragments - the other half was gone. ”

"Damn! can you pick up martial arts cheats in the waste paper pile?"

"What's all the fuss about. If you don't say anything else, let's just say that it is possible for anything to be copied out of the hundreds of years old family of the Liu family! It's a pity that after that toss, there is no family in the contemporary era!"

"What other kung fu cheats have you picked up?"

"There's also a roll of cinnabar palms, but it's also half a set. In addition, there is a book of thirty-six snake catchers, which is complete. It's a pity that I only understood two of them, and the other thirty-four didn't understand, so I didn't bother to read them. ”

"Is there anything you don't understand? Why don't you give it to me? ”

Feng Junzi shook his head: "Martial arts practice requires a teacher, what's the use of only reading cheats, it's normal to not understand, it's useless for you to take it to read, you're not as good as me!

"What do you mean?"

Feng Junzi: "Shaobu alchemy, what it means is that Danshu cannot be cultivated from an early age, it must be physically basic, and after it matures, many Danfa starts from 'one yang birth', and children know what yang movement is? What is copulation? As for not practicing martial arts for a long time, there are two reasons. First, because when people grow up, their bones have become formed, and the effect of practicing martial arts is not very good. What's more, the practice of traditional martial arts is quite hard, almost like a devil's concentration camp. The child simply does not know the bitterness, and the bitterness is confused, and it is refined. Don't say anything else, just say that the golden bell jar, do you think it's very relaxed?...... If you really want to learn, you have to find someone who understands it first, and I can give you the cheats. ”

"Really, you give me something so precious?"

"Is it precious? I'm useless anyway! I've got a big box of messes!" said the Wind Gentleman's tongue, which was already a little bigger.

......

This meal was eaten for two hours, and when I checked out, it cost twenty-eight dollars, which was dangerous! I only had thirty in my pocket. After eating, the two of us staggered into the school to prepare for evening self-study. In the corridor outside the classroom, I met Mr. Liu.

Teacher Liu seemed to be startled when he saw the two of us, stopped us and whispered: "You two have been drinking! How can you enter the classroom like this! Director Sima is seen in the classroom, you will be punished, go back, don't go to the evening self-study! Come to my office tomorrow morning during self-study, it's too unpleasant!"

Although Teacher Liu said that we were not like us, her behavior was still defending the two of us. If this situation falls into the hands of Teacher Sima Zhibei, he must be punished. It seems that people who drink too much owe it to think about why I follow the gentleman to self-study?

......

The next morning, during self-study, Mr. Feng and I pushed open the door of the Chinese teaching and research room, and Mr. Liu was the only one preparing for the class. When Teacher Liu saw the two of us coming in, he didn't pay attention to me at first, but called Feng Junzi over and said, "Feng Junzi, you are too careless, you don't care about going out to drink, why did you call Shi Ye too...... I won't talk about you, I just called to tell your mother, you can go home and listen to the training by yourself. As he spoke, he drove him away, leaving me alone.

I think Mr. Liu was too polite to the wind gentleman, and let him pass the test so easily. And yet she left me unsure of how to criticize me. After the Wind Gentleman left, Mr. Liu stood up and walked up to me and said, "Shi Ye, I let the Wind Gentleman go but left you behind, do you have any ideas?"

Why didn't Teacher Liu sit and talk? If she had to stand so close to me, my palms were sweating! It was the first time since the ** tribulation in the Blue Illusion Realm that I had the opportunity to be alone with her. Mr. Liu's height is about 1.65 meters, more than ten centimeters shorter than me, and he tilts his face slightly when he speaks. This beautiful face I have recalled many times in my imagination, but when she was so close to me, I did not dare to look at it directly. He only said, "If you haven't done anything wrong, you should be criticized." ”

Hearing Teacher Liu sigh, she said slowly: "Shi Ye, you and Feng Junzi are not in the same situation. Feng Junzi was born in a scholarly family, and his education and environment were different since he was a child. He has a very strict family education, so he occasionally indulges in the outside, but after he goes back, he still has restraints, so that he will not go out of line! What about you? You are not as talented and intelligent as him, and the family environment is average, so you have to take care of yourself. It is not easy for you to come to Wucheng Middle School to study, and it would be a pity if you don't cherish it! At your age, it is easy to take the wrong path, so be careful. ”

I could hear that Mr. Liu's words were from my heart, and I could only nod my head again and again. Teacher Liu said, "I know that when you entered the school, you were the first in your township. However, Wucheng has a population of several million, and there is only such a provincial focus, and you can only be regarded as the middle stream here. You may feel lost. Actually, you don't have to think so, and you don't need to go out for drinks with your classmates. People just need to do their own things well, do their best, and there is no need to compare with others!"

I have to admit that Mr. Liu is a very competent and good teacher. She doesn't tell children that "you have to be the first in the exam, you should be the best", as many teachers or parents do nowadays, but tells students to be responsible for themselves. But Mr. Liu, I'm afraid I was a little misunderstood, and it wasn't the reason why I went out drinking with Mr. Feng and Mr. Feng. I only heard Mr. Liu continue to say: "Mr. Feng's grades are very good, but he may not be a good student. He has a tradition of drinking, and there is also a student in our class who cultivates Buddhism, and these two people are called the two 'masters'. I'm not criticizing them here, that's their characteristic, but it's not yours, so you don't have to imitate it. The most important thing in middle school is to form your own independent personality. ”

Today, I finally know the reason why Feng Junzi is called a man, it turns out that I have only heard of wine and meat monks, and today I heard for the first time that there are wine and meat students. Mr. Liu said a lot of things later, and I have to admit that I was very moved. But in the end, she was not immune to the most traditional trick - to write a profound examination, which was handed over to her tomorrow.

When I came out of the teaching and research room, the gentleman was still hiding at the door and waiting for me. When he heard that I was going to write about the examination, he slapped his thigh excitedly: "That's such a coincidence, find a chance for no one else to hand in the inspection tomorrow, and give her that painting by the way." ”

......

"How did you get this painting of Ishino, and why did you give it to me?"

This was the next day, and I found an opportunity to put the painting in front of Ms. Liu, not in the Chinese department, but in her dormitory.

I told Mr. Liu again about the nonsense I made up to Mr. Zhang, and finally imitated Mr. Zhang's tone and said: "The person who identified this painting said that the inscription was made by Xu Xi of the fifth generation, and the brushwork was thick and thick, and the slight miscellaneous colors were typical of Xu Xi, and the ink flowers were probably genuine. I saw Liu Minggong's collection seal on it, I heard that Liu Minggong is your great-grandfather, then this is your Liu family's thing, I think I should return it to you. ”

Teacher Liu looked at me fixedly: "There is indeed such a painting in our house, which was lost when my cousin's family was raided twenty years ago, and I saw it when I was a child." Ishino, I used to underestimate you, I didn't expect you to have such knowledge! But this thing is very precious, and it has changed hands, how can I take it?"

I secretly screamed in my heart, ashamed, the real knowledgeable person is not me, Mr. Zhang. Since I took out this painting, I must accept it from Mr. Liu. Anyway, according to me, it didn't cost much to get this painting, and this time it's just a return to its original owner. This time, my relationship with Ms. Liu seemed to be reversed, and I was very determined to return the painting to her, and she seemed very hesitant. Obviously, I want to take back my ancestors' things, but I don't want to take them away.

In the end, she decided to take the painting and take it home to show her father. She asked me what I wanted, and she could pay me a fee. What are you kidding, how could I ask her for money? I won't give it to her if she wants to exchange it. I didn't say anything, I left quickly, and only after going out did I remember to check and forget to hand it in. I didn't know it myself, but after this incident, I left a special impression on Mr. Liu's mind.

......

"Mr. Zhang, I have a question for you - what is a human robbery?"

"How do you think of asking this, do you want to learn Taoism, or do you want someone else to ask?"

"A friend of mine asked me to ask. ”

"Friend, no matter who it is, you tell others that the calamity is a catastrophe!"

The Wind Gentleman once told me that he could avoid the six heavenly tribulations, but he couldn't escape the human tribulation. That's why I'm asking. Mr. Zhang actually said that the human robbery is the heavenly robbery, and the gentleman of the wind was not lying to me! This was one day at noon, I was sitting at the Phoenix Bridge and chatting with Mr. Zhang, and suddenly remembered the problem of the human robbery.

Mr. Zhang also said: "There is no distinction between the calamity of the cultivators, the human tribulation and the heavenly tribulation. We can't say anything unless you give concrete examples. ”

I asked, "I've heard that cultivators have any calamities and physical calamities, but in the end, is it a heavenly calamity or a human calamity?"

Mr. Zhang glanced at me: "Boy, you know a lot, I've heard of this." This is both a man-made calamity and a natural calamity. For example, the test of the calamity is whether the human mind can overcome the entanglement of love and desire, and not give in to the cultivation of **. If you can't get through this calamity, you won't be able to improve, and you won't be able to reach the next achievement. But from the perspective of human robbery, ** is not born out of thin air, in the world, people always have love and desire, if there is no great desire for men and women, there can be no ** catastrophe. And it is better to say that this is what everyone who cultivates the Dan Dao has to go through. To seek immortality, you must first purify the furnace ding, but the human body cannot be perfect, so the hidden dangers in the body must be exposed, and then slowly subside, which is also a test of the furnace ding's kung fu, this test is the catastrophe. And the robbery originates from the impurity of the human body, and there is a scourge of disease, which is also a human calamity...... Do you understand?"

I finally understood what happened to me escaping the Heavenly Tribulation? I asked again, "Is there such a situation where someone can escape the Heavenly Tribulation but can't avoid the Human Tribulation?"

Mr. Zhang: "It's interesting, I haven't seen it yet. Theoretically speaking, all the calamities in the world still need to be experienced by such a person, but this does not hinder his cultivation from diligently. This is not necessarily a good thing, for example, but it is too reluctant to have a solid foundation after being robbed and collecting pills and pills, and the body is not purified at the same time? Besides, it's the same with experiencing human tribulations, for example, if you have experienced the test of love in the world, you will naturally not indulge in it when you practice. ”

After listening to Mr. Zhang's words, I felt a little deceived, this gentleman of the wind! I was thinking nonsense there, Mr. Zhang smiled and said: "Shi Ye, it turns out that you are learning Taoism, don't worship the wrong master's yelling!--don't ask me how I know, I calculated it--I will also tell you one thing, your human calamity is coming soon, and you will know what is going on after the experience." ”

As he spoke, a middle-aged man walked in front of him, in his thirties and forties. looks very high-end, but his expression is very sad. He walked over hesitantly, as if he had something to say but didn't want to speak. I glanced at him and felt very familiar, and suddenly remembered that he was the guy who once drove a Mercedes-Benz and almost hit someone at the Phoenix Bridge, his name was Wang Yonghu, his nickname was Wang Laohu, and he was the owner of a Jian'an company in Wucheng.

I remember the last time I saw him, he was driving and splashing dirty water on me and Mr. Zhang. Later, at the Phoenix Bridge, I almost bumped into a peasant woman selling vegetables, and she actually scolded. Mr. Zhang asked me at the time, I don't want this person to be unlucky, and I said yes. Could it be that this person is really unlucky?

I didn't bother to pay attention to him, but Mr. Zhang greeted Wang Laohu with a smile: "Is this gentleman here to ask for fate or fortune telling? ”
