"Liaozhai Zhiyi": The apprentice learned the "wall-piercing technique" of Laoshan Daoists, but he couldn't go home?
This story is purely fictional.
Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a Taoist monk living on Laoshan Mountain next to the East China Sea, because it was said that he had very clever spells and could do many things that others could not do, so everyone called him Laoshan Daoist.
In a small county town hundreds of miles away at the foot of Laoshan Mountain, there was a man named Wang Qi. This guy was most envious of some special functions in his life, and when he heard about the great name of the Laoshan Daoist, he brought dry food to Laoshan to learn the art.
The Laoshan Daoist priest looked at Wang Qi, thinking that he could not suffer from pampering and habitual cultivation. But wang qiqi pleaded bitterly, so he agreed to take him as an apprentice for the time being.
The next day, just after dawn, Wang Qiqi came to the door of the master's room and respectfully asked the master when he would start teaching himself to learn spells.
Who knows, the Laoshan Daoist gave Wang Qiyi an axe and asked him to follow the other division brothers to cut firewood in sanshan.
Wang Qi's heart was very depressed, and he thought to himself, if I want to learn to chop wood, why did I run so far to come to you? But the master's words did not dare not listen, so he had to follow everyone up the mountain.
Who knew that the Laoshan Mountain was full of thorns and rocks, and in less than half a day, Blood blisters had been grinded on Wang Qi's hands and feet.
The days passed like this, in the blink of an eye, Wang Qi's arrival in Laoshan has been more than a month, every day in addition to chopping wood is to carry water to cook, his hands are grinding thick calluses. Therefore, Wang Qiqi had the idea of going back.
When I returned home in the evening, I saw Master and two guests chatting and drinking wine. It was getting dark soon and there was no light in the room yet.
Wang Qi, seeing Master pick up a piece of white paper, cut it into the shape of a round mirror, and stick it against the wall. Suddenly, the paper on the wall shone like the moon, illuminating the room.
Only one of the guests could be heard saying, "Such a wonderful night, such a joyful banquet, you should all have fun together." The Laoshan Daoist priest picked up a pot of wine and let the disciple drink it as much as he wanted.
Wang Qi thought to himself, Master is so stingy, we have so many brothers, such a small pot of wine, how can we drink enough?
Everyone half-believedly picked up the wine jug and poured the wine. It is really strange to say, such a small wine jug, dozens of division brothers each poured a bowl, and the wine jug is still the original weight.
After a while, another guest said to the Taoist priest, "Although there is a bright moon and fine wine, the fly in the ointment is that there is no one to accompany the dance."
Laoshan Daoist smiled and picked up a chopstick and nodded at the white paper. I saw a woman a foot long and short coming out of the moonlight. As soon as she landed, she became as tall as an ordinary person, with a slender waist, white skin, a fluttering belt, singing and dancing.
After the song and dance stopped, the woman rose in the air, jumped on the table, and then changed back into a chopstick in the eyes of everyone.
Wang Qi, the Shi brothers, were stunned to see them. Another guest was heard saying, "It's late at night, and it's time for us to say goodbye and go back."
So the Taoist priest and the two guests moved the banquet and moved into the moon. The moon gradually dimmed, the disciples lit candles, only laoshan Daoist sat there alone, the guests were gone, but the leftovers on the table were still there.
Only then was Wang Qi's conviction that the master really had the ability to do so, so he dismissed the idea of going home.
After another month, Master still didn't teach a little spell, and Wang Qi, who really couldn't stand it, went to Ask Master for an explanation.
Wang Qi: "Disciples come from afar, even if they can't learn the spell of immortality, they should teach me some small spells as comfort."
The Laoshan Daoist priest then asked Wang Qi, "What spell do you want to learn?" Wang Qi: "Apprentices often see masters walking, and the walls can't stop them, so it's good to learn this." ”
Unexpectedly, the Laoshan Daoist priest agreed to Wang Qi's request, led him to a wall, and told him a few incantations through the wall, letting him recite it himself.
As soon as Wang Qi's recitation was finished, the Laoshan Daoist priest pointed with his hand and shouted, "Go over the wall."
Facing the wall, Wang Qi, who could only rush forward with a hard scalp, unconsciously found himself on the other side of the wall.
Wang Qi, who had bid farewell to his master, returned home and boasted to his wife, "I met the immortals and learned spells, and even the walls could not stop me." ”
Of course, the wife did not believe it, so Wang Qiqi recited the incantation and rushed towards the wall. Only a thud was heard, and Wang Qi's head hit the wall and fell to the ground.
His wife quickly lifted him up, only to see a big bump on his forehead. Wang Qi, on the other hand, bowed his head like a deflated leather ball.
The wife was angry and funny: "There are good spells in this world, but people like you can't learn it in two or three months."

But Wang Qi clearly remembered that he really went through the wall that night, so why couldn't he do it now? Could it be that the Laoshan Daoist priests deceived themselves?
As a result, Wang Qi's mind no longer had the concept of a master, and even Zi Ah, in anger, greeted the ancestors of the Laoshan Daoist for eighteen generations.
Since then, Wang Qi's has remained a person who has not learned any skills.
This also shows that some things in the world need to have a sincere heart, and they cannot be too high-profile. The Laoshan Daoist did teach the mantra to Wang Qi, but he did not remember the master's instruction that "you should not show it", so the bamboo basket was empty.
