Chapter 4 Master
On the way down the mountain, two figures, one large and one small, were walking down the mountain, but what was funny was that these two people were wearing clean Taoist robes, but they were both wearing shoes and stepping barefoot on the muddy path.
The two of them also wore a Taoist crown on their heads, covering up the wounds on their heads, if they didn't look at their feet, the old man really had a bit of a fairy style.
"Master, what are we going to do?"
Ye Tian knew that there were two pairs of brand new cloth shoes in the bag on the old Taoist's back, and he also knew the master's intention not to let him wear shoes, but he was still very puzzled by the old Taoist's behavior.
"Yesterday I went down the mountain and saw a white flag hanging in front of a house, presumably someone died in the family, I will take you to a ritual......"
The old Taoist spoke, but the soles of his feet quickened up a little more, it was closer to the main peak of Maoshan, if he invited the Taoist priest above, he would have run in vain this time.
"Do ...... What do you do?" Ye Tian was scorched on the inside and tender outside by the old Taoist's words, this seems to be the life of a monk, right? If the Taoist priest goes to do this, isn't it a bit of a dog to meddle in the affairs of the mouse?
seemed to see Ye Tian's thoughts, and the old Taoist snorted and said: "What's wrong? The "Lingbao Infinite Human Quality Wonderful Scripture" that I teach you to memorize, referred to as the "Sutra of Saving People", can save people in three ways, five sufferings and eight difficulties, and transcend the three realms......"
Especially in this Maoshan area, the popularity of Taoism is far greater than that of Buddhism.
It's just that they have just experienced that sensitive era, and the reform and opening up has not been long since they have been opened, and ordinary people don't have much spare money at home, so they don't pay so much attention to it.
"Master, where does that family live?" Ye Tian asked, the child wants to save face, he doesn't want to be seen by his classmates in this outfit, so he won't be laughed to death?
The old Taoist priest didn't know Ye Tian's careful thoughts, and said: "In Maolu Town, walk faster, otherwise you won't be able to make it to the place at noon......"
"Hey!"
After knowing where to go, Ye Tian happily agreed, and quickened his pace a little, his school was not in Maolu Town, and he didn't know anyone, so naturally he didn't have to be afraid of losing face.
After coming to the bottom of the mountain, Lao Dao and Ye Tian found a stream to wash their feet, changed into shoes, and walked towards Maolu Town.
"Hey, it's a market today......" After coming to the town, Ye Tian suddenly shouted excitedly.
In their place, every fifteenth day of the first month, there is a market in the town, and people from ten miles and eight townships will come here to set up stalls to sell things.
Located in the territory of Maoshan, Ye Tian and Lao Dao's outfit did not look abrupt, because there was no shortage of Taoist priests in the surrounding crowd.
"Master, look, there is a monkey ......."
"Hey, Master, look, popcorn ......"
Squeezed into the crowd, Ye Tian was already dizzying, at this time, in Ye Tian's heart, perhaps this was the most lively place in the world.
"Cough, Master, isn't that our companion? You are still blunt, Master, who is more powerful than you and that old man?" Ye Tian had sharp eyes, saw a fortune-telling stall, and immediately grabbed Lao Dao.
"Go, is this comparable? Your master is all in and out of the high-gate mansion, if he mixes like this, how can he be worthy of the face of the ancestor?"
The old Taoist was asked by Ye Tian's words, his face turned green, how could he go to the roadside to set up a stall as a direct descendant of the lineage of linen, although this divination question is the most common in the rivers and lakes, but it is also divided into three, six and nine.
Like this kind of roadside stall to read the word test, a hexagram is the lowest in the industry, and most of them don't have any real talent or practical learning, so the old Taoist disdains to do it.
"Stinky boy, I'm tired to death......"
It took a lot of effort to pull Ye Tian out of the crowd, and the old Taoist was also tired and panting, pointing to the front angrily and saying: "Hurry up, otherwise you won't have to eat lunch......"
From the east end of the town to the west end, there were much fewer people rushing to the market, and following the old road's fingers, Ye Tian saw a house with a two-story building.
In this era of transition from a planned economy to a market economy and food stamps are still used, it is a great thing to be able to build such a small building, at least for every household.
In normal times, such a family is definitely enviable, but at this moment, the eyes of people passing by next to this family are mostly pitiful, and some unkind people still have a little schadenfreude on their faces.
……
In the unique courtyard of this two-story building, there is a mourning hall, a woman in her twenties, holding an eight- or nine-month-old little boy who was already asleep, with a sad face.
"Uncle him, why don't you send Xiaojun to the county hospital to take a look, it's not a way to cry when he wakes up......"
Looking at the child with a pale face in her arms, the woman felt distressed, this husband went, if the child had three more years and two shorts, how would she live in the future?
Now that my husband has been funeral, everyone who should have come has come, and the yard has become quiet, and the cry of the little baby is becoming more and more heart-wrenching.
A man in his thirties was smoking a cigarette with his head down, and after hearing the woman's words, he fiercely extinguished the cigarette butt on the ground, stood up and said: "Okay, let your sister-in-law take care of you here, go back to eat something, let's go to the county hospital ......."
Boss Miao was a little depressed, since he started transportation the year before last, this day is getting better day by day, not only becoming a well-known ten-thousand-yuan household, but more importantly, the second brother-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy last year.
For the Miao family, this is a great big thing, you know, the Miao family has two brothers, Miao Boss has given birth to four children in a row, all of whom are daughters, as soon as the second son's son was born, he was immediately cherished by the whole family.
But who would have thought that the sky would be full and sunny, and people would have fortunes and misfortunes, just when this little day was getting better and better, the second child went out of the car, but he encountered a car accident, and he couldn't even save a corpse.
What's even worse is that since the second child had a car accident, the little nephew also began to get sick, crying all day long, refusing to eat, and going to the town hospital but not seeing any clues.
A series of changes in the family made Boss Miao, a seven-foot man, have a few more strands of white hair on his head, and the man in his thirties actually looked a little rickety at the waist.
"Alas, Xiaojun is awake again, his uncle, what should I do?"
Perhaps the words of the two woke up the child in the woman's arms, and the little guy opened his eyes and grinned and cried, and the distressed woman shed tears again and again.
"No, let's leave now and go to the hospital!"
Boss Miao threw the cigarette he had just lit on the ground, stretched out his hand and hugged the child, and when he just walked to the door of the yard, he found two people standing in front of the door.
"This real person, may I ask...... Is there something wrong with you?"
As the first batch of people who got rich in reform and opening up, although Boss Miao was anxious, he did not lose his courtesy, and while comforting his crying nephew, he looked at the old Taoist priest, as for Ye Tian next to the old Taoist, he was automatically filtered out by Boss Miao.
"Infinite view, this layman is polite......"
The old Taoist glanced at Boss Miao, stretched out his right hand, bent his index finger (containing the meaning of one qi and three purities), raised it to his chest, and said: "My disciples and I passed by here and found that your house is extremely yin, this is located in a Taoist holy place, I don't know why this layman doesn't find someone to resolve it?"
The old Taoist priest's words made Ye Tian roll his eyes secretly, "Find someone to resolve it? Then why are you running as fast as Daddy Rabbit?" Isn't it just afraid of being preempted?"
However, when he heard the old Taoist mention yin evil, Ye Tian raised his head curiously, as if looking at the yard, he had also learned the knowledge of earth qi and yin from the old Taoist, but he had never seen any dragon qi and evil spirits.
"Huh? This...... What's going on?"
Just when Ye Tian was using the knowledge taught by the old Taoist to watch the yard, the turtle shell that appeared in his mind in the morning suddenly appeared again, and Ye Tian was so shocked that he almost shouted.
It's just that unlike in the morning, after the turtle shell turned around in Ye Tian's brain, the lines on his back shone brightly, and suddenly turned into airflow and overflowed into Ye Tian's eyes.
"This ...... Is this what the master called yin?"
When that airflow filled Ye Tian's eyes, the scene in front of him seemed to be a little different from just now, on the right side of the mourning hall, there was some faint gray mist.
Although the sun was shining brightly at the moment, this position was obscured by the canvas of the mourning hall, and the faint mist was still condensed and did not dissipate, and the sunlight next to it seemed a little distinct.
"Could it be that this is the ancients' interpretation of yin and yang?"
Looking at the strange scene in front of him, Ye Tian had this idea in his heart, as a Young Pioneer who grew up under the red flag, he was determined not to believe in any ghosts and gods.
And this fog is only slightly cold, not a ghost or ghost in Liao Zhai Zhi Yi, but it is a bit similar to the interpretation of the ancient character "侌", that is, it is "swirling and regrouping fog", which is cold, dark, and gathering.
"Boy, what's wrong?"
Just as Ye Tian was searching for a hundred thousand whys in his mind to explain the phenomenon in front of him, he suddenly felt his arm being pulled, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he was already standing in the yard.
"It's okay, Master, I'm observing what you said about yin......" Interrupted by the old Taoist priest, the scene in Ye Tian's eyes returned to its original state, but the faint mist could no longer be seen.
"Did the little real person see it? Is there really something wrong with my house?"
After hearing Ye Tian's words, Boss Miao looked at the little Taoist priest with some doubts, to say that the old Taoist does have the taste of a master, but what does this little hairy child know?
