The tears of the merchants and the old cow who went to the feast
In the ancient Jiangnan water town, there is a strange story about merchants, banquets and the tears of old cows. Li Siyuan, a businessman, is well-known in the business world for his shrewd, capable, and witty personality. He is good at observing words and feelings, and can always grasp business opportunities in the complex business sea and achieve a career. However, it is such a thoughtful businessman who encounters an unexpected adventure on a seemingly ordinary night.
It was a hazy moonlit night, and Li Siyuan received an invitation from an old friend from afar, inviting him to a secluded manor for a grand banquet. The banquet was not only to celebrate the completion of his newly acquired manor, but also to discuss important matters with colleagues in the business world, and Li Siyuan naturally could not miss it.
He packed his bags, mounted his beloved white horse, and set out on his journey to the manor. The moonlight is like water, sprinkled on the winding path, and the rice fields and lotus ponds along the way are swaying in the breeze, exuding a faint fragrance. However, just when Li Siyuan was immersed in the quiet night, an old cow suddenly appeared in front of him.
The old cow was thin and had a dull coat, but there was a strange glint in his eyes. It stood in the middle of the road, no matter how Li Siyuan drove it, it didn't move. Li Siyuan was puzzled, but he didn't dare to offend this seemingly ordinary old cow easily. He dismounted and looked at the old cow for a long time, trying to read something in its deep eyes.
At this moment, Lao Niu spoke, and his voice was low and vicissitudes: "Li Siyuan, you went to the manor for a banquet this time, but there is a catastrophe waiting for you." If you bring my tears, you may be able to defuse this catastrophe. ”
Li Siyuan was shocked when he heard this, he never thought that he would encounter such a strange thing. However, looking at Lao Niu's serious eyes, he couldn't help but believe Lao Niu's words in his heart. He bowed deeply to the old cow and said, "How can I get your tears?" ”
The old cow was silent for a moment and slowly closed his eyes. Seeing this, Li Siyuan knew that this was Lao Niu giving him a chance. He gently stroked the old cow's back, feeling its rough skin and deep exhaustion. At this moment, a crystal teardrop slipped from the corner of Lao Niu's eyes and dripped into Li Siyuan's palm.
Li Siyuan's heart tightened, he knew that this tear was not trivial. He carefully put his tears into a jade bottle, and then thanked Lao Niu again. The old cow opened his eyes, looked at him deeply, and then turned and disappeared into the night.
Li Siyuan remounted his white horse and continued to move towards the manor. However, his heart was full of doubts and uneasiness. He knew that he was about to face an unknown challenge, and the old cow's tears might be his lifeline.
After a long journey, Li Siyuan finally came to the manor. The entrance of the manor is lit up and lively. He dismounted and walked into the manor, only to see a cloud of guests, laughter and laughter. He looked around, looking for his old friend.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in his ears: "Brother Siyuan, you are here!" He looked up and saw his old friend walking towards him with a smile on his face. After the two exchanged pleasantries, the old friend led him into the banquet hall.
The hall is brightly lit and has everything you need for food and wine. Guests raised their glasses and chatted and laughed. Li Siyuan had no intention of appreciating all this, his heart was always thinking about Lao Niu's tears and the upcoming challenges.
At this moment, the atmosphere of the banquet suddenly became tense. I saw a mysterious figure in a black robe walk to the center of the hall, he held a sword with a cold light, pointed at the guests present, and said, "Today I want to challenge you!" Whoever can remain undefeated under the sword for three rounds, I will give him this sword!" ”
As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar. The guests exchanged their heads and talked about each other. Li Siyuan also felt nervous, he knew that this challenge was not trivial. However, when he saw the encouraging eyes of his old friend, he felt a surge of courage in his heart.
He stood up, walked up to the mysterious figure, and said, "I will accept your challenge!" The mysterious figure smiled and nodded.
A thrilling competition is about to begin......
With Li Siyuan's response, the atmosphere in the entire banquet hall instantly tensed. The guests got out of the way and formed a circle, enclosing the two people in the middle. Li Siyuan felt an unprecedented pressure, but he knew that he couldn't back down at this moment.
The mysterious figure slowly pulled out the sword in his hand, and the blade of the sword flashed with cold light, as if it could devour everything. Li Siyuan took a deep breath and tried to calm his heartbeat. He knew that this competition was not only a contest of physical strength and skill, but also a test of will and wisdom.
In the first round, the mysterious figure launched an attack on Li Siyuan with a thunderous momentum. Li Siyuan skillfully avoided the opponent's sword blade while looking for an opportunity to counterattack. However, the mysterious character's swordsmanship was too exquisite, and Li Siyuan's several attempts to counterattack were skillfully defused by the other party.
Just when Li Siyuan felt a little powerless, he suddenly remembered Lao Niu's tears. His heart moved, and he took out the jade bottle containing the tears of the old cow from his arms. He gently unscrewed the cap, and a crystal tear dripped onto the tip of his sword.
A miracle happened! The tip of Li Siyuan's sword emitted a faint light under the moisture of tears, as if he had spirituality. He felt a powerful force coming from the tip of his sword, which made him feel more confident.
In the second round, Li Siyuan began to take the initiative. He used the mysterious power brought by the old cow's tears, and his sword moves became sharp and precise. Although the mysterious figure is still powerful, it also began to look a little hurried under Li Siyuan's onslaught.
Just when the two were in the midst of a fierce battle, Li Siyuan suddenly noticed a trace of panic flashing in the eyes of the mysterious figure. His heart moved, and he guessed that the other party might have some weaknesses or flaws. So, he took advantage of the other party's unpreparedness and stabbed the opponent in the chest with a sword.
However, just as he was about to succeed, the mysterious figure suddenly flashed and avoided his fatal blow. At the same time, his sword also took the opportunity to slash at Li Siyuan. Li Siyuan was taken aback and hurriedly jumped back, but he still couldn't completely avoid the opponent's blade. A deep wound had been cut on his left arm, and blood poured out.
The guests exclaimed in amazement, they didn't expect the competition to be so intense. Li Siyuan also felt a sharp pain spread throughout his body, but he knew that he couldn't give up. He gritted his teeth and gripped the hilt tightly with his right hand, ready for the challenge of the third round.
However, at this moment, an unexpected voice sounded in the crowd: "Stop! The crowd followed the voice, and saw a gray-haired old man come out of the crowd. He walked up to Li Siyuan and the mysterious figure, smiled and said, "The two heroes are rare talents, why bother hurting the harmony for a competition?" ”
Seeing this, the mysterious figure also put away his sword and saluted the old man respectfully. The old man nodded, then turned to Li Siyuan and said, "Li Siyuan, do you know why this old cow's tears can help you?" ”
Li Siyuan shook his head and said he didn't know. The old man smiled and explained, "This old cow is not an ordinary animal, it was once a cultivator's mount. When a practitioner dies, its tears contain the wisdom and strength of the practitioner. The reason why you can gain the upper hand in the competition is precisely because of the blessing of this wisdom and strength. ”
Li Siyuan suddenly realized when he heard this, he bowed to the old man gratefully, and said, "Thank you seniors for your guidance!" The old man waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite. Then he turned to the mysterious figure and said, "You have completed your mission, and now you can put away the sword, right?" ”
The mysterious figure nodded, and withdrew the sword back into its sheath. He saluted the old man, then turned and left the banquet hall. Seeing this, the guests also dispersed, leaving Li Siyuan and the old man sitting opposite each other.
The old man looked at Li Siyuan, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes. He said: "Li Siyuan, you are not only witty, brave and resolute, but also compassionate. You can think of using the tears of the old cow to resolve the crisis at a critical moment, which shows your wisdom and kindness. I am sure that you will be able to achieve more in the business world in the future. ”
Li Siyuan listened to the old man's words, and felt extremely excited and proud in his heart. He bowed deeply to the old man and said, "Thank you for your encouragement and guidance!" I will definitely continue to work hard to live up to your expectations! ”
The old man smiled and nodded, then stood up and said, "Alright, it's not too early. It's time for me to go back and rest. Rest early, there are more important things waiting for you tomorrow. With that, the old man turned around and left the banquet hall.
Li Siyuan watched the old man's back disappear into the night, and his heart was full of gratitude and respect. He knew that this old man was by no means an ordinary person, and his appearance and guidance must have a deeper meaning. He decided to turn this gratitude and respect into motivation to continue to work hard and pursue higher realms.
However, when he returned to his room to rest, he found a faint glow from the wound on his left arm. He was shocked and hurriedly took a closer look. I saw a strange line of text appear on the wound: "Heaven must not be revealed, everything is certain." ”
An inexplicable fear and uneasiness suddenly surged in Li Siyuan's heart. He didn't know what kind of challenges and tests he would face next. But he knows that no matter how many difficulties and dangers lie ahead, he must face them bravely and meet them.
In this way, Li Siyuan spent a long night in anxiety and anticipation. When he opened his eyes again, it was already early the next morning. He knew that a new journey was about to begin, and the early morning sun shone mottled on Li Siyuan's face through the gaps in the curtains. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, sat up, and looked out the window at the world, full of anticipation and apprehension. The words left by the old man last night and the strange words on his left arm were like seeds, taking root in his heart, urging him to embark on a new journey.
Li Siyuan carefully examined the wound on his left arm and found that the lines of writing were still clearly visible, as if to remind him not to forget last night's adventure. Although his heart was full of doubts, it was more of a firmness. He knew that he could not live up to the expectations of the old man, nor could he let last night's experience go to waste.
After washing, Li Siyuan walked out of the door, ready to find his old friend and ask more about the old man and the old cow's tears. However, when he reached the hall, he found that the manor was empty. He inquired around and learned that his old friend and other guests had left the estate to continue their business activities in another place.
Li Siyuan felt a sense of loss in his heart, but he quickly adjusted his mentality. He knew that there was no eternal feast in this world, and no one could be by his side forever. He must learn to face everything on his own and rely on his own strength to solve problems.
So, Li Siyuan decided to leave the manor and continue his journey. He rode on a white horse and set out on the road to his next destination. However, just as he was about to leave the manor, he suddenly felt a strong sense of unease. He looked back and saw that the gates of the manor were closed, as if an invisible force was preventing him from leaving.
Li Siyuan was shocked in his heart, he knew that he couldn't leave like this. He had to get to the root of the problem in order to move forward with peace of mind. So, he turned back to the manor and began to look carefully for clues.
After some searching, Li Siyuan finally found a secret room that had been forgotten in the corner. He pushed the door open and walked inside. I saw an old wooden table in the secret room, and a yellowed ancient book was placed on the table. He took a closer look and found that this ancient book was a legend about the tears of the old man and the old cow.
Li Siyuan felt a burst of excitement in his heart, he knew that he had finally found the answer. He opened the ancient book and began to read it carefully. It turns out that the old man and the old cow are the embodiment of cultivators, and they came to the world to find destined people and inherit the wisdom and strength of cultivators. And Li Siyuan is the person who is destined, he has been blessed by the tears of the old cow, and has the wisdom and strength of a cultivator.
However, this wisdom and strength are not easy to come by. Li Siyuan had to go through a series of tests and trials before he could truly master them. Ancient texts record in detail the process of these trials and tribulations, and how to improve one's cultivation through them.
After Li Siyuan finished reading the ancient books, his heart was full of emotion and awe. He knew that his next path would be full of challenges and difficulties, but he also believed that he would be able to overcome all difficulties and become a true practitioner.
He left the chamber and walked out of the gates of the manor. However, when he looked back again, he found that the manor had disappeared without a trace. He knew that he had left that mysterious world and returned to reality.
In the following days, Li Siyuan began a arduous journey of cultivation according to the guidance in the ancient books. He encountered all kinds of challenges and difficulties, but he overcame them one by one with his wisdom and courage. His cultivation is also constantly improving, and his heart has become more determined and powerful.
In this process, Li Siyuan gradually understood the true meaning of a cultivator. He understood that the purpose of spiritual practice was not to pursue immortality or transcendent sanctification, but to make himself more complete and authentic. He understood that cultivation is a process of self-improvement and self-improvement, and a kind of exploration and pursuit of the value of one's own life.
Over time, Li Siyuan gradually became a legend in the business and spiritual worlds. He has not only achieved great success in the business world, but has also gained a great reputation in the spiritual world. His story has been told, inspiring countless people to pursue their dreams and beliefs.
However, for Li Siyuan, the most important thing is not these external achievements and honors. What he truly cherishes is that journey of spiritual practice that was full of challenges and grinding, as well as the growth and harvest he gained along the way. He knew that this was his true wealth and precious experience.
In the days to come, Li Siyuan will continue his spiritual journey. He believes that as long as he keeps working hard and moving forward bravely, he will definitely be able to climb to the peak of his cultivation and realize his dreams and pursuits. The sun shined through the clouds and fell on Li Siyuan's resolute face, and his eyes flashed with anticipation and firmness for the future. Since that adventure at the estate, his life has changed dramatically. Under his leadership, the territory of the business empire gradually expanded, and his heart also gained unprecedented peace and strength in his practice.
However, the path of cultivation has never been smooth. Every challenge was like a storm that tried to break him, but he always managed to find a way out with his wits and courage. He knows that true cultivation is not only an external achievement, but also an inner growth and transformation.
During a business negotiation, Li Siyuan encountered a seemingly unsolvable problem. The conditions put forward by the other party were extremely harsh, almost forcing him into a desperate situation. However, at that moment, he remembered the legend of the old man and the old cow's tears, and remembered the wisdom of the cultivators recorded in the ancient books. He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and began to think about things from another perspective.
After some deliberation, Li Siyuan came up with a bold and creative solution. He skillfully exploited the psychology of the other party, while also showing his sincerity and strength. In the end, he succeeded in convincing the other party to reach a cooperation agreement that would benefit both parties.
This experience made Li Siyuan realize the power of cultivation more deeply. He understands that cultivation is not only about cultivating one's own heart, but also about using this power in real life to influence and help others. He began to actively participate in various public welfare activities, using his wisdom and resources to help those in need.
At a charity gala, Li Siyuan met a young entrepreneur. The entrepreneur, despite his passion and talent, was bogged down by a lack of capital and experience. Li Siyuan was moved by his story and decided to lend a hand. He not only provided financial support to the entrepreneur, but also personally guided him on how to develop a business plan and expand the market.
With the help of Li Siyuan, the young entrepreneur gradually got out of the predicament, and his career began to flourish. He said to Li Siyuan gratefully: "It was you who made me see hope and the future, and I will always remember your kindness." ”
This sentence made Li Siyuan's heart surge with a warm current. He realized that he was using his power to influence and change the world. He is no longer a lonely practitioner, but a leader with a sense of responsibility and mission.
However, with the continuous improvement of his cultivation, Li Siyuan also gradually felt the challenge from a higher level. He begins to come into contact with seemingly mysterious and powerful forces that make him both curious and in awe. He understands that these powers are not easy to grasp, and will require more effort and cost from him.
By chance, Li Siyuan got an ancient cheatbook. This book contains a mystical practice that is said to be able to give people power beyond ordinary people. However, this practice comes at a very high cost and can even be life-threatening.
Li Siyuan fell into deep thought. He knew that he had always pursued a higher realm and greater power, but he also understood that this pursuit was not without a price. He began to reflect on his spiritual path and think about what he really wanted.
After some careful consideration, Li Siyuan made a decision. He decided to abandon this secret book and continue on his own path of cultivation. He understood that true spiritual practice is not the pursuit of external strength and achievement, but the pursuit of inner peace and contentment. He believes that as long as he keeps a kind and firm heart, he will be able to climb to the top of his spiritual peak.
In the days that followed, Li Siyuan continued his spiritual and commercial activities. He used his wisdom and strength to influence and help more people, and at the same time, he also continued to improve his cultivation and realm. He knows that the path of cultivation is never-ending, and only by moving forward can he find his true self and the meaning of life.
However, life is always full of surprises and surprises. During a business expedition, Li Siyuan unexpectedly discovered an ancient village hidden deep in the mountains. The village is isolated from the rest of the world, and the villagers live a simple and simple life. They believe in an ancient religion that everything in the world is spiritual.
Fascinated by the tranquility and mystery of the village, Li Siyuan decided to stay and learn more. During his exchanges with the villagers, he learned a lot about spiritual practice and the true meaning of life. He realized that although these villagers lived in remote mountain villages, their hearts were purer and more determined than many people.
During his time in the village, Li Siyuan began to try to communicate more deeply with nature and the universe. He felt the power and wisdom of nature, and also saw the impermanence of life and the vastness of the universe. He began to think about the place and mission of humanity in this universe, and how he could use his power to influence and change the world.
After a period of practice and reflection, Li Siyuan finally found his answer. He understands that his mission is to use his wisdom and strength to influence and help more people so that they can live a better and more meaningful life. At the same time, he also needs to maintain a kind and firm heart to pursue inner peace and contentment.
At the moment of leaving the village, Li Siyuan felt an unprecedented sense of ease and ease. He knew that he had found his own path and direction, and that he had also understood the meaning of his practice and the true meaning of life. He will continue to move forward on the path of cultivation with this new understanding and understanding, and use his own power to influence and change the world.
