Outside the ruined temple, heavy rain poured down.
In the ruined temple, there is a warm bonfire.
"Xiucai Gong, why don't you also take the test? It doesn't cost any money anyway?
Besides, I think the veteran test is quite accurate. Maybe you will be the top scorer in high school in the future. "
Ever since he knew from the old Taoist priest Tianjizi's calculation that he would be able to make money and marry a wife in the future, the young Orion was in a state of excitement.
Because he felt that this old Taoist priest was really extraordinary.
This time, it was the first time that he went hunting in the mountains with his second uncle.
But even the continuous heavy rain, which could put Orion in danger of life and death, did not do anything to him.
What's more, during this hunt that was supposed to yield nothing, he not only lived well, but also had a full meal.
In addition, some small prey, such as rabbits, were also seized.
"As long as we don't get close to rivers and are based on mountains and forests, maybe it can really come true."
Thinking of this, the young Orion still hesitated a little when he saw Lin Yi's eyes, and not only had to help the old Taoist priest to do business again.
However, when he was about to speak again, he saw his second uncle glance at him and gave up the idea.
“Since the Taoist priest wants to help me test the characters, let’s test one.”
Thinking like this, Lin Yi used his finger as a pen and wrote a word randomly in the void. .
"Have the Taoist master seen it clearly? Do you need Lin to write it again?"
"Interesting, the scholar is worthy of being a scholar. Sure enough, he is not blindly superstitious. He actually plans to take the exam for this Taoist priest. Long.”
Seeing this scene, the middle-aged hunter on the side couldn’t help but become interested.
"Divine words!"
Seeing the words written by Lin Yi in mid-air, Tianjizi's eyes couldn't help but become interested.
"I wonder what Xiucai Gong wants to test?"
"What to test?"
After hearing this, Lin Yi pondered for a moment, looked at the old Taoist priest in front of him with interest, and said .
“Let’s test the path!”
“It is unavoidable for a scholar to test the path instead of predicting his future and fame...”
The young Orion on the side couldn't help but froze for a moment when he heard this and muttered.
The old Taoist Priest didn't pay attention to Orion's words. He just said slowly after his eyes fell into thinking.
"The word "神" means "divine" on the left and right on the right, indicating the importance of appearance. The little friend said that its shape is like clothing.
If an ordinary person measures fame, fortune, money, food and clothing, he will be rich and noble. The appearance is just as the saying goes, the princes and generals are the same.
But the little friend asked about the way, then it is different. ”
"What's the difference?"
Hearing this, the young Orion couldn't help but ask before Ji Yi spoke.
Although scholars are inherently superior to others, this person is most afraid of comparison. In the past, he had to work hard to amass a small fortune, but now this scholar only needs to sit still and become wealthy.
Is the difference between the two so big?
Or, this old Taoist priest was just deceiving me.
"Why are you making fun of others when they are testing their words? Just stay calm."
Seeing what the young Orion wanted to say, the middle-aged Orion scolded him and the latter called out in grievance. He remained silent and planned to see what the old Taoist priest had to say.
"The difference is that this word is written in the air instead of down to earth. This has the meaning of vanity. The so-called path should be rooted in the feet."
Tianjizi Looking at Ji Yi, he said.
“The road is inherently illusory, so what’s the use of following the rules?”
Ji Yi said slowly.
“When I write in this void, there is reality here, and it is no longer empty. This space is also different from other places because of my words.
If someone can see it, they will know that this place is not empty.
If there is a way, then whether this place is the way is true. "
"This makes sense." >
Hearing this, Tianjizi did not argue deliberately, but spoke slowly.
"If the little friend wrote other words, it would naturally be the same. But what the little friend is asking is the way of God." As these words fell, Tianjizi spoke again.
"As the saying goes, the human realm is boundless, the immortal realm is vague, and the ghost realm is happy. If there is no way to rely on, the gods will not exist. As time goes by, the ghost realm will naturally be happy.
If a person becomes a ghost, then everything is in vain.”
After hearing this, Lin Yi was thoughtful and saw Tianjizi in front of him. At this time, he pointed his finger at the burning bonfire in front of him.
“Just like the bonfire in front of us, this fire is born from wood and burns in the air. The flame it releases represents the passing of time.
But during the burning process of this fire In the middle is the Tao.
The Tao is in the heart, and the road is under the feet, but wherever people walk, it is the derivative of the road.
The old Taoist once heard a saying, which is still inspiring even when I think about it now. .”
As he said these words, Tianjizi's eyes looked outside the temple at this moment.
“Everything has its cause, everything depends on it, and everything has its effect. This is true for people, so is God, and so is everything in the world.”
“God, God, Tao, life. No matter whether it's death or not, why is it so troublesome?
If. According to what you, the old Taoist, said, the cigarette the old man smoked is not ordinary.”
The middle-aged hunter seems to be very disgusted with what the old Taoist said, or even though he is an ordinary hunter, But he was not satisfied with being judged from the beginning, so he spoke at this moment.
"The old man only knows that life is not easy, and he doesn't understand the big principles you talk about. He only knows that when people reach middle age, they always feel that they are not as strong as they want.
Whether it is a Tao or a road, the old Tao likes this Breath of tobacco.
When the scent of this tobacco enters the old man’s nose, the breath is ethereal. The fog also entered my mouth, just like those unrealistic questions and ideas you mentioned.
When I spit them out, I gained satisfaction." Luo, the face of the middle-aged Orion also began to become blurry at this moment due to the smoke in front of him.
Although it was blurry, when Ji Yi's eyes fell on it, he could faintly see the vicissitudes hidden in this person's heart.
"Haha, little brother, you know the truth."
Hearing this, the veteran Tianjizi was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Lin Yidao.
“Smoke is invisible, but this mist entrusts the life of this hunter. In the process of inhaling and exhaling, it is God.”
As these words fell, The old Taoist looked at Lin Yi and said.
"God is invisible, but God also comes from humans. If you want to find the ethereal God, you might as well experience how to be a human first."
At this point, the old Taoist glanced at the people resting outside the house. Yu stretched lazily, then stood up and said.
"The rain has stopped, the relationship has ended, and it’s time for the old Taoist to leave."
As these words fell, the old Taoist slowly walked out of the temple, just for a while. As he walked along the road, his figure began to blur gradually.
“What I just said made this Taoist angry. Sure enough, these fortune tellers just don’t like others to interrupt.”
Seeing the old man leaving, the middle-aged Orion murmured, then stopped talking and began to quietly smoke the cigarette in his mouth.
"The Taoist Master is not angry, it's just that the relationship has broken up."
Jin Yi looked at the old Taoist's leaving figure, said a word slowly, and then asked.
"Brother, do you know where the busiest city is here?"
"That should be Ning'an City. During the temple fair every year, people from all over the country go to the market.
If it's lively, that should be the liveliest place. "
The middle-aged Orion said subconsciously.
"Ning'an City. "
After Ji Yi pondered for a while, he bowed his hand to the middle-aged Orion.
"I should open a happy wine shop there. If there is a fate in the future, you two can come there. Find me, drinks are free. ”
"Is this true?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged Orion asked.
“Seriously!”
Facing the eyes of the middle-aged Orion, Lin Yi smiled.
“Although my fate with Lao Tao has ended, my fate has also come. Sure enough, this rain was not in vain.”
