The poet He Zhizhang, who was an official in Chang'an, opened a new house in Xuanpingfang.
The house is facing the street, and the front door is bustling.
Across the street, there is a small house diagonally opposite the door, sandwiched between two large houses, short and narrow, which looks quite shabby and quite different.
Mrs. He watched attentively, and out of the door was an old man, hunched over his waist, occasionally with a child.
Lord He felt quite strange, this inch of land and gold, when he was the official rank of the second product of the dynasty, he still spent a lot of thought and silver, what is the identity of this old man?
A belly full of doubts.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > two</h1>
Returning from yamen in the evening, Madame said:
"Don't guess, I asked you, the neighbors can't say clearly, they all say that since moving in, the old man has lived here..."
Lord He asked, "Then what is he doing?" ”
Madame said:
"The surname Wang, I don't know what the name is, the one who sells the rope..."
"Selling rope, what rope?" Lord He asked.
Madame added:
"Oh, the rope for stringing copper coins, the leather rope, the hemp rope, the money string, the money string prince!"
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > three</h1>
The prince was still quite busy, pushing a small cart in and out every day.
When Lord He went to the court, he went out of the stall; When Lord He came back from business, after dinner, he pulled the cart back.
He Zhizhang muttered:
"How much money can you make selling rope?" Enough to chew the valley? ”
"Do people need you to worry?"
Haven't you heard of it? When you haven't come, people have been living here for decades, and you haven't seen you starve to death?
Didn't that little grandson also have a strong body?
You're really...
"You'll have to wait a while," Lord He quickly stopped Madame's nagging, "who is the first neighbor to move on this street?" ”
Madame said, "Zhao Yushijia, it has been more than sixty years!" ”
"Do his family know these two grandchildren?" Lord He's eyes widened.
"I know, I just listened to his grandchildren and daughters-in-law, when his family first moved in, where did these grandchildren live here, what's wrong?"
"Madam, you speak slowly, over your head... Decades ago, it was a grandchild, and decades later it is still a grandchild? Lord He looked shocked.
"It's really eh, this kid doesn't grow up... Hungry, right? ...... Oops, ghosts, right? Madame was shocked.
Lord He looked disdainful:
"How can it be a ghost?" Walking around under the big sun. ”
"That's a monster!"
"No, what kind of monster has been holding back for decades that doesn't harm people?"
"What's that?"
"O gods! That's the fairy, madame. Hidden in the city for decades, dismissed by people, what is he doing? ”
"What for?"
"Waiting for the degree of the people who are related to each other?"
"Someone with a relationship? Who is it? ”
"Me?" Lord He was very confident: "In the past few decades, only I have noticed that he is wrong, it must be me, right?" ”
"Then, sir, are you going to become a monk?" Madame was a little reluctant and a little disgusted.
Lord He said hesitantly:
"Don't worry, you go with me to visit the immortals, right?"
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > four</h1>
The old man warmly received Lord He and Mrs. He.
As soon as the broken wooden door opened, there was a narrow courtyard inside, with flowers, trees, bamboo, and no holes.
Lord He explained his intentions, and the old man smiled and said:
"What kind of immortal am I, I am still early to become an immortal!"
Like you, Lord He, I have a little Daoist heart and am still on the path of cultivation.
As for worshipping me as a teacher, don't you dare to be one.
I'm just learning immortals, it's only a few years before you, we're classmates, classmates.
I can share my experience, and if I pray to the teacher, I will mention it again, and I don't have such a deep attainment! ”
Mrs. He asked again:
"What about your little grandson?" Don't come every day? ”
The prince smiled and pointed to his white wooden cane:
"Madam, are you talking about it?"
When I went out empty-handed, I carried it.
If I pull the cart out to do business, it will follow me. ”
Saying that he let go of his hand, the crutch turned into a child and brought refreshments to Mr. and Mrs. He.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > five</h1>
Coming and going, the two families became more and more acquainted.
The old man made a confession to He Zhizhang and said:
"All these years... For more than two hundred years, I have not achieved any positive results.
In addition to being light and healthy, that is, I have some experience in the art of yellow and white, but I am only just getting started. ”
Lord He was very surprised, alchemy and alchemy are the way to immortality:
"Turn stones into gold?"
The old man shook his head:
"That's too high-end, I've seen a lot of people play that trick over the years, it's all a lie, and I won't."
I can only burn mercury into gold now.
It's not always used, and when you really want to use money, just try it once in a while. ”
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > six</h1>
Lord He returned home and consulted with his wife:
"O virtuous wife, you know that I have always admired cultivators, longed for the art of immortality, and also searched for famous mountains and rivers, but Mao never saw one.
Now that the gods have come, they will live opposite the door.
This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again.
Madam, you must support me!
Take out our family's savings, I will buy mercury, and learn from the prince! ”
Madame glanced at him:
"Husband, sir, lord.
I know that you are su mu xian dao, unswerving.
But, probably you... There is no immortal life! ”
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > seven</h1>
The adult asked, "What, what do you mean?" ”
"Nothing else.
You have to buy mercury, alchemy, alchemy, I will support you to death, no problem.
But where's the money? Where do we still have money? Isn't it all tossed into this house?
Don't you, your great waiter, let me borrow money? ”
"Really... Really run out of money? Lord He asked.
"Not really.
You are out and about every day, drinking and drinking.
Li Bai also drank when he came, Wang Wei also drank when he came, Meng Haoran drank when he came, and he also formed a society, called "Eight Immortals in Drinking"...
I will ask, the rest of the "seven immortals", who has not paid for the wine?
When drinking, one by one, the two elders of the heavens and the earth, after drinking, they have to check out, and one by one they twist and pinch into the "seven fairies"... No money! ”
"Husband... Madam, don't we still have a bead? My Persian friend sent it, and you said that the ring was not also set? Lord He asked cautiously.
The lady was so angry that she was dying:
"That thing, as big as a little egg, don't you want me to set a ring?" Who can wear it, please?
I said that you are not willing to put it on the hairpin, saying that it is too ostentatious, and it is not ostentatious to wear on the finger?
I already knew that you were hypocritical and used me here as a safe, right? Take it, take it, get upset when you see it! ”
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > eight</h1>
Lord He picked a good day and took the beads of his wife and lady to visit the prince again.
On that day, it was raining lightly in the sky, the whole Chang'an City was foggy, and the green plants in Old Man Wang's home were shiny as if they had been waxed.
He Zhizhang explained his intentions and pulled out the beads, which were indeed the size of two quail eggs.
The prince took over with a solemn look and looked at it for half a day:
"This... Is this a pearl? Or is it a tumor? Rare treasures, my lord, very precious! At least you can buy another house like yours! ”
Mrs. He listened, her nostrils began to dilate, her breathing began to be rapid, her pupils began to dilate, and her eyes were tearful:
"Treasure... Baby? ”
Look at Lord He again, a face of perseverance, the clouds are light and the wind is light:
"The prince does not have to take the place of pity, the treasures of the world are no more precious than the immortal path; no matter how hard the jade of the world is, it is no harder than the heart of a learner... tenacity! ”
Mrs. He is crazy:
"You... Who do you say is a slut? I fought with you! ”
Lord He stopped the lady who was pretending to be crazy and stupid, and closed the hand of the prince holding the bead:
"Just do it, my teacher has to hesitate!"
The prince looked into his eyes: "If that's the case, then I can just watch it?" ”
He Zhizhang's face did not change color and said, "You look at it!" ”
The prince held the bead in his hand and said, "Good! ”
The crutch in his left hand left his hand, turned into a little boy, took the bead, turned and pushed the door out.
He Zhizhang breathed a sigh of relief.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > nine</h1>
The drizzle outside the door, silently wetting the green tiles on the roof ridge, merging into water droplets dripping from the eaves and smashing into the water under the eaves, so beautiful!
Lord He felt that the gate of Cheng Xian was already faintly visible.
First enter, then enter the hall, then enter the room... Step by step, the staircase of heaven.
As soon as the courtyard door rang, the little boy returned, "skin a few, skin a few" stepped on the water.
Enter the house and take out a lotus leaf bag from the small basket in your hand.
The prince took it and spread it out on the table, and there were four steaming burnt cakes:
"The two high neighbors, it was raining today, they didn't open fire, and they weren't prepared.
Fortunately, just now Lord He sent a jewel, I ordered the child to exchange for four pepper cakes, used to serve tea, please! ”
For a moment, the air did solidify.
Lord He's Daoist heart trembled shamefully.
He felt some strange "buzzing" sound in his ears, as if the computational logic of his brain could not process the information received in his ears:
"What? Maharaja...... What did he say? ”
Madame MuRan said:
"What? He seems to have exchanged your precious beads for four burnt cakes, and he wants to share them with us... two. ”
"What?" He Daren jumped up politely and gave a hateful salute to the prince:
"Little Ke Su Mu teacher Qingde, specially prepared a treasure orb for the offering."
I will not be able to put the jewel... Changed four burnt cakes?
That's what I used to invest in mercury and learn the art of yellow and white with you! ”
Mrs. He followed the translation:
"Elder Wang, Old King, don't you understand what the Adult means?" He wanted to ask, are you crazy?! ”
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > ten</h1>
The prince smiled slightly and said:
"Daoxin this thing, you say you have, I say I have, really have not, is the donkey is a horse out of the horse to take a walk."
Xiantu is not a transaction, not a traffic.
One hundred thousand taels of silver could not buy the Tongtian Avenue, but two copper coins could make clouds.
One bead, four burnt breads, worldly values day after day.
But in the mind of the Taoist, are there any differences between them?
So, Daoxin this thing, do you say you have it or not?
For the world, you still have too much nostalgia. ”
In a word, Lord He was in a cold sweat, and the nameless fire that had just erupted turned into embarrassment and regret.
It's over, it's all over.
The heart of the Path that he had been pursuing for decades was nothing more than Ye Gonghaolong.
That thing, stay in your heart and play with it yourself, once you take it out, you will see the light and die.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > eleven</h1>
Lord He also ignored his wife's entanglement and returned home in despair, sullen and unhappy.
Madame made a fuss at home one night, saying that she had been deceived, and bai gave someone a big bead, shouting that she was going to report to the officials:
"You're talking, you have to report it!"
Lord He was absent-minded:
"Report to the police? Am I not an official? ”
The next day, Madame took dozens of people to the prince's house to "grab the treasure", but the house was still there, even the green plants were gone, where there were still people!
"Honest and honest", exhausted me, welcome to pay attention.
