The neighbors found that since the day of the fight, Zeng Guang's right eye has been tightly closed every day, unwilling to open it easily. The neighbors thought he had an eye disease, but in fact there was nothing wrong with his eyes.
Someone was curious and asked him why he didn't want to open his right eye?
Zeng Guang always pretended to answer mysteriously: "It's not that I don't want to open my eyes, but I'm afraid that if I open my eyes, I will see through your internal organs." ”
Absurd words, no one can believe. The neighbors thought that he had a brain disease, did not see him in general, and regarded his absurd words and deeds as crazy people talking crazy.
On this day, Zeng Guang closed his right eye, carried his hands behind his back, took a square step, and slowly strolled through the streets. When I reached the East Gate, I saw a group of migrant workers digging a well, so I stopped, opened my right eye, closed my left eye, looked at it one-eyed, and then laughed.
The migrant worker who drilled the well asked him what was funny?
Zeng Guang said: "I laugh at you one by one, covered in mud, like mud monkeys, but I still can't find the spring." You are all blind with cloudy eyes, and I can't see as clearly as I can see with one eye. Listen to me, dig a foot down, and the water will come out. If you dig a foot deeper and don't see the water, I'll call you Grandpa. ”
The migrant worker who drilled the well laughed and thought that Zeng Guang, a crazy man, was talking crazy again. But since he had spoken, it would not hurt to dig down another foot according to what he said, and if he still could not get out of the water, Zeng Guang, the cheap grandson, would be determined.
So, the migrant workers dug down another foot. It really made Zeng Guang say it, and the clear spring water came out. The crowd was astonished, and all of them were amazed, and they all praised Zeng Guang's "good eyesight."
Since then, the streets and alleys have become more and more evil about Zeng Guang's ability to "see through the eyes", and many daydreamers have come to see Zeng Guang, hoping to use Zeng Guang's "divine power" to find the treasures buried in the ground. In the past, Zeng Guang was often ridiculed and ridiculed for not doing his job, but now people look at him with admiration and regard him as a "living immortal".
Speaking of this, it is time to talk about Zeng Guang's life. He was a native of Jining, Shandong Province, who had lost his father at an early age and was dependent on his mother. Because of his family's poverty, his mother had to run for his livelihood, so he neglected to discipline Zeng Guang, causing him to not love to read since he was a child, and he was even more reluctant to work in the field, and he was in the company of a bunch of crooked hairs and naughty people all day long, stealing chickens and dogs, which was annoying. When I grew up, I still didn't do my job, traveled around the world, and did nothing. The neighbors did not like him, so they often mocked and ridiculed him, but he always laughed and did not pay attention to it at all.
At the age of twenty, Zeng Guang married an ugly man from a poor peasant family. Since the day of marriage, the neighbors have joked and ridiculed his two sons, and the lazy man who marries an ugly wife is also a natural pair. Zeng Guang still did not have the slightest anger at these sarcasm, but thought that everyone said it well.
I thought that Zeng Guangcheng would be restrained after becoming a relative, but he still went his own way, and every three or five minutes he left the broken house, wandered around in the wilderness alone, reached out to beg when he was hungry, drank heavily by the river when he was thirsty, and slept on his head when he was tired. The sky is a blanket for the ground, the sun, moon and stars sleep with people, obviously have a home, but they want to be a wandering person, there are well-meaning people who persuade him to go home and live a good life, but he laughs and says that he is imitating Zhuangzi's getaway, how can mortals understand his happiness. To borrow a phrase: The son is not a fish who knows the joy of the fish.
Exactly how he got the divine power of the "clairvoyant eye", Zeng Guangduan never hid it. He said that one day at noon, he was lying on the stone steps in front of a ruined temple, sleeping, and in his sleep he vaguely felt that someone was approaching from afar, sitting up and rubbing his eyes to watch, and sure enough, there was a figure standing not far away.
It was a Taoist man, with a white beard, kind eyebrows, no more than three feet tall, a string of small gourds hanging from his neck, carrying a king-sized gourd on his back, barefoot and no shoes, and two extra-wide soles, as if stepping on two pu fans.
A person with such a good appearance is certainly not a layman. I saw the Daoist look around a few times, slowly and leisurely walk to the bottom of a large locust tree, untie the big gourd behind it and pillow it under his head, stretch his arms, and yawn. After a while, the snoring was like thunder, and I fell asleep.
Zeng Guangxin spoke, and it seemed that this Daoist master's Daoist deeds were not shallow. As the saying goes, Taoist priests love alchemy the most, and 80% of his gourds contain immortal elixirs, so why don't I steal a few grains to taste, even if you can't become immortals, it is always good to prolong your life.
As a result, Zeng, bold, crept in and quietly reached the Daoist priest's side. Reaching out and untying a small gourd from the rope, he swept it with his hand, and it weighed a little weight, indicating that there was something inside.
Quickly took the gourd and hid behind a low wall, pulled off the plug, the bottom up, the mouth down, trying to pour out a few of the elixirs in the gourd. Strange, poured for half a day, nothing poured out.
ah! What's going on? Could it be that the gourd's mouth is too small, and the elixir is too big to be stuck? Wondering in his heart, he closed his left eye, narrowed his right eye into a slit, and brought the mouth of the gourd closer, trying to see what was inside the gourd.
Unexpectedly, just as the mouth of the gourd came to the eye, suddenly a cold breath came out of the gourd, down the eye socket, straight to the bottom of the heart. Zeng Guang couldn't help but scream bitterly, threw away the gourd, and rolled on the ground with his right eye covered with his hand.
The Daoist was awakened, stepped on a big foot like a fan, and walked over unhurriedly. He smiled, picked up the gourd, re-tied it, and said to Zeng Guang: "Good you cut path thief, actually dare to steal Daoye's treasure, you let go of my gourd's immortal qi, you say what to do?" Either I slap you to death, or I arrest you to see the official, two roads, which one do you choose? ”
Zeng Guang, a thief with a weak heart, quickly turned over and knelt at the feet of Dao ye, banged his head, admitted that he was greedy for a while and did a despicable deed, and asked Dao Ye to show compassion and let him go. In the future, he will definitely change his mind and be a good person.
Dao Ye smiled again: "Seeing that you are an honest person, you have the right to let you go, otherwise you must goug out this eye." Now that your eyes have a fairy breath, you can see things through the wall, and you can see through people's hearts through your belly. Don't do anything wrong with this, or I'll come back to you and take away your eye!" ”
After saying that, Dao Ye strode away. Zeng Guang quickly put down the hand covering his right eye, and sure enough, as Dao Ye said, he could see the scene behind the wall clearly.
In this way, he has the ability of "clairvoyant eyes", walking on the street, just with his right eye, he can see all kinds of things in the house, even very precious treasures. When he looks at the person with his right eye, he can immediately see the person's internal organs.
This is a good thing, but also a troublesome thing, and it starts to feel fun, and after a long time, it feels nauseous. Because, in order to avoid disturbing his vision by seeing these things often, he simply closed his right eye. Although he could see the treasures and valuable things buried in the ground, he always kept in mind the instructions of the Dao Master, turned a blind eye to these things, and refused to help the greedy people to obtain these good things.
However, with this skill, if you don't use it, you are afraid of waste. Therefore, Zeng Guang relied on this skill to help people treat diseases. As for whether the other party gives money or not, he doesn't care at all, he will take the money and don't want it if he doesn't give it to him. Just like that, his life is getting better and better every day. According to the fairy tale routine, he and his wife have lived a happy and happy life ever since.
You all hear that, right? To be honest, I also feel this strange, not only feel strange, but also feel unrealistic. According to the author's point of view, Zeng Guang's boy is a big fool in all probability, using strange forces to confuse the gods' lies to deceive the public, so as to accumulate wealth. Of course, perhaps the author's point of view is shallow, maybe people have said the truth, or how can there be the existence of the phrase "there is no wonder in the world".
To be clear, this matter is not invented by the author, but by the literary scholar Zeng Qiru (Zeng Yandong) during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty. As for the truth or falsehood, the author does not know, if you have to be more true, you look for the old Zeng to be more real, and you can't make a mistake with me. Still that sentence, the aunt who says it vainly listens to it, and the right should be relieved.
