Chapter 28 Planting Pears

There is a local countryman who often sells pears in the market, his pears are very sweet and fragrant, but the price is very expensive, today, this countryman goes to the street to sell pears, "Which one will buy pears, crisp and sweet pears, fresh pears, big and fragrant, hurry up and buy them." ”

At this time, a Taoist priest begged in front of the cart loaded with pears, and said to the countrymen, "Amitayus is blessed, and the layman is polite." ”

Fortunately, Zen is not here, he wants to be here, and when he sees this Taoist priest wearing a torn clothes and a turban, he must recognize that this person is the Taoist who saved him.

When the countryman saw the Taoist priest coming forward to talk, they thought they were here to buy pears, so they also smiled and said, "The Taoist priest is polite." ”

The Taoist said: "Poor Dao asks the layman for a pear to eat." ”

When the countryman heard this, he suddenly felt so good, and saw that the Taoist was poor and sour, and he was unwilling to give charity, so he lost his enthusiasm and said: "If you want to eat pears, give money first." ”

The Taoist smiled and said: "Layman, the poor Dao is really poor, and there is no money." ”

"What pears do you have no money to eat?" The countryman scolded the Taoist: "You stinky Taoist, go away quickly, don't hinder my business." ”

The Taoist is profound, and he is not angry when he hears the words, but he does not leave, and says to the countryside: "Be kind to the layman, I haven't eaten pears for decades." ”

The surrounding pedestrians saw that the Taoist came to beg for 'one' pear as if he was asking for food, but the countryman was unwilling to give it, and he couldn't help but despise the countryman.

The countryman looked at the eyes around him, and suddenly became angry, so he scolded again: "Have you ever eaten pears and passed on me, what is the matter with me?" If you don't leave, I will go to report to the official to arrest you. ”

Speaking of which, the clay man is also angry, and the Taoist priest was angry, so he said: "You have hundreds of pears in this car, and you only ask for one, and you don't have a big loss to the layman, why are you angry?"

So the bystanders persuaded the countryman to take a bad pear to the Taoist priest and let him go, but the countryman was angry and insisted, and said to the Taoist: "My cart of pears, one and mine, hundreds are also mine, I will give it to you, and if I don't want to give it to you, I will not give it to you." ”

A guy who was working in the shop next to him couldn't stand it when he saw the countryman and the Taoist priest chattering. So he took out the money and said to the countryman: "Come, give me a pear." ”

The countryman took the money and immediately smiled and said, "Okay." ”

The man took the pear and handed it to the Taoist priest and said, "Daoist, I will invite you to eat a pear." ”

When the countryman saw it, his face suddenly changed, and he secretly scolded this guy for being nosy.

The Taoist priest took the pear and thanked the man, "Thank you, layman." Then he said to the people, "A monk does not know what it means to be stingy." I have good pears, please allow me to take them out for everyone to taste. ”

Someone suddenly wondered in their hearts, "Why don't you ask this countryman for it?"

The Taoist priest stretched out his hand to reveal the pear, smiled at everyone, and said, "Poor Dao, please taste it." ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be in an uproar: "But you only have one pear, how can you treat yourself?" Yes, this pear was just bought by someone else, and you just took one out, how can you invite it? One bite is not enough.

The Taoist priest pointed to the pear in his hand and replied, "I just need this pear pit as a seed." After that, in the bewildered eyes of the people, he took the pear in his hand and ate it until he had finished eating, held the pear pit in his hand, untied the plow he carried on his shoulder, dug into the ground several inches deep, put the pear pit in it, and covered it with earth.

"The poor road will plant the seeds, and they need boiling water for irrigation, who will take them for the poor road?" At this time, the Taoist asked the people on the street for boiling water for irrigation, and everyone was surprised, how could there be boiling water for irrigation?

So they all became monks of Zhanger, and they were confused.

"The water is coming. At this time, a good person asked for boiling water at a small shop on the side of the road, and the Taoist priest took it and poured it on the dug place: "Okay, it's done." So saying, many eyes watched, and saw that there were little pear buds growing and slowly growing, and in a moment they grew into trees with lush branches, and after a while they bloomed again, and in a moment they bore fruit, and they were all very large and fragrant, and they were densely packed with branches.

The Taoist priest said: "All laymen, please eat pears." ”

As soon as the Taoist priest took his head, he plucked it from the tree and gave it to the watchers.

Everyone in the audience was dumbfounded, and it took a while to react, and they reached out to pick pears to eat to see if they were dreaming. It was delivered out in no time.

When he was done, the Taoist priest cut down the pear tree with a plough and cut it down for a long time before it was broken, and the Taoist priest carried the tree with branches and leaves on his shoulders and walked away calmly.

At this time, the pears on the pear tree were all plucked and eaten, and the whole tree suddenly disappeared without a trace. Everyone made a fuss, but they looked left and right but found that the Taoist priest had also disappeared, and they all thought that they had met a fairy.

The countryman in the crowd shouted, "My pears?"

Hearing his shout, everyone suddenly realized that the pears that everyone had eaten before were all changed from the dealer's car by Taoist priests with spells.

At the beginning, when the Taoist priest was practicing magic, the countrymen also stood among the crowds, stretching their necks and watching intently, and they even forgot about their business. At this time, after the Taoist priest had left, he looked inside the car and saw that the pears were all gone, and then he realized that the pears given by the Taoist priest just now were his own things. Then I saw that one of the wooden rakes on the car was gone, and it had been newly cut. I was very angry and hateful. Hurriedly went to find the Taoist priest. Turning the corner of the wall, I saw the broken wooden rake discarded under the wall, only to realize that the pear tree cut by the Taoist priest was this thing, and the Taoist priest had gone nowhere. The whole street laughed.

The Taoist walked out, and happened to meet Wang Sheng, who was about to go shopping and relax, and the Taoist was very shocked when he looked at Wang Sheng. After looking up and down a few times, he asked, "What did you encounter?"

Wang Sheng replied, "No." ”

The Taoist priest said, "You have evil energy lingering in your body, how can you say that you don't have it?"

Wang Sheng tried his best to refute again, and said: "You are a Taoist, how are you entangled, what I said is nothing." ”

The Taoist priest then left, saying, "It's strange! There are people in the world who are dying but don't know how to wake up." ”

Wang Sheng was shocked when he heard this, and remembered that he had been mentally sleepy and weak in the past few days, and he secretly beat a drum in his heart. Suddenly his heart became weak, and he forced himself to go around the street, but he felt more and more uneasy, so he went home depressed.

Now only his virtuous wife, Chen, can give him peace of mind.
