My years as a fortune teller

The first coffee shop I went to after I arrived in Xi'an was Shangdao Coffee in Zhuquemen.At that time, I was the person in charge of a real estate company, and invited me to drink tea there.Later, I went to different stores on the island, and later fell in love with Mingdian Coffee.

However, these coffee shops all have one characteristic, the tea they sell is relatively poor.So every time I bring my own tea, I just have to give them some money.However, the environment of some stores is still good, and it is very pleasant to sit and read a book.It's just that later, when more people came to this place to play cards, it became a bit noisy.

I found a seat by the window and asked the waiter to make a pot of tea for me.While sipping tea, he watched the people coming and going outside.Looking down from the window here, you can just see a waiting point next to the coffee shop.

Watching people getting on the bus, watching people running after the bus.I felt very bad. If I hadn't followed Master, I would have been like them, running around looking at people's faces and doing things for three meals a day.When I was just out of school and going to work, I always called the bus a tin can.

I was feeling about my life when I heard someone shout: "Brother Zhang!" I turned around and saw Xiong Chenxue and three people standing beside me.Except for a girl who is the same age as her, I haven't seen them, and I have seen the rest of the men and women on the mountain.

I stood up and nodded to them, asking them to sit down.Then I asked the waiter to bring a few more cups, and the woman with a flat nose and a mole under her mouth poured tea and said, "I offended Master that day, today we are here to make amends!"

"Offensive?" I smiled and said, "What did you offend me? If you offended, it should be your master, and it's not your turn. Besides, it's not an offense at all, it's just a dispute, what's the matter?" It's a big deal. You are here, we are all friends, sit down and drink tea and chat. If you don't come, you will do your own thing."

The man immediately said to me: "The master seems to be a Taoist, but he knows so much about Buddhist scriptures. Did you learn Buddhism in the past, and then went to learn Taoism?"

I smiled and said, "It's not considered studying Buddhism. I was like you in the early years. I went to school to work, and I read books when I was upset. I read all kinds of books, but the most were books from Buddhism and Taoism. But at that time I I still prefer Taoism, but in order to compare the advantages and disadvantages of the two, I made a systematic comparison."

Hearing this, the man immediately said: "So after comparing you, Taoism is definitely better than Buddhism. So I went to learn Taoism in the end. Is that what you mean?" He stared straight at me.

I took a sip of the tea and said: "You can't say that, if you speak in terms of comparison. In fact, the two are really similar, and there is no distinction between them. It's just that the master I met later was a member of the Taoist family." , so I had no choice but to learn."

"Wow!" The girl next to Xiong Chenxue exclaimed, "I really envy you. Can you tell me how you met Master? I really want to go to apprentice, but I don't know where I can find Master?"

I looked sideways, and Xiong Chenxue immediately said: "This is my classmate and my good sister, named Lu Shuangshuang. I heard that I was going to visit a master, so I made a fuss and insisted on following. Brother Zhang, You don't mind, do you?"

I have brought so many people here, can I still mind?I smiled and said: "I don't mind, people are all about chance. When I was the most frustrated in the first two years, I went to the Eight Immortals Temple almost every week to burn incense and ask for a lottery. I remember that I accidentally saw two An old Taoist priest played chess, so he walked over to have a look. One of them looked at my face and said that I have not been going well recently. When I heard it, I immediately asked him to give me some advice. As a result, the more I talked, the more tempted I worshiped him. As a teacher. If you didn’t agree at the beginning, I would stalk you, just like when your boyfriend was chasing you. In the end, I was annoyed too much, so I was accepted as an apprentice.”

"No way!" Both girls opened their mouths in surprise.Before my eyes, the scene of being apprenticed to a teacher back then appeared again, and I have been following the master for so many years in a blink of an eye.Time flies so fast, it's been so long before you know it.

I was reminiscing about the past when my phone rang.I took it over and saw that it was Gao Shengwen's phone. I don't know what this kid is looking for me again.I picked up the phone and asked, "What's the matter, did you invite me to dinner again?"

Gao Shengwen asked directly on the phone: "Huzi, how do you know how to eat! Tell me where you are? I have something important to ask you. I am really in trouble here!"

It seems that Gao Shengwen has encountered a problem, otherwise he would not talk to me like this.I told him to drink tea in Shangdao, Gao Shengwen said he would come soon and hung up the phone.What will Gao Shengwen encounter now, and why is it so urgent?

Xiong Chenxue looked at me and said cautiously: "Brother Zhang, do you have something to do, or let's go and make an appointment at another day." Seeing the girl's appearance, I smiled and shook my head.Now that Gao Shengwen's project is over, nothing can happen if there is no project in Xi'an.

I said to a few of them, "It's okay, a good friend of mine came to see me. It doesn't matter if we all get to know each other." Speaking of which, I looked at them and asked, "How long have you been studying Buddhism?"

Xiong Chenxue said: "I'm less than half a year late. Sister Wang has been studying for two years, and Sister Wang took me to apprentice. It seems that Brother Wen has been studying for the longest time, maybe five or six years!"

The man nodded and said to me: "My name is Wen Xinghe, and I have studied Buddhism for the longest time. But I seem to have made no progress, so I am also very painful."

I smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether you study Buddhism or Taoism. The main thing is enlightenment. If you understand a lot of truths, you will understand the rest. The Dao is the same, but the personal method is different. , what you see is different.”

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw Gao Shengwen was holding a mobile phone in his hand, looking around and preparing to make a call.I yelled and waved to him.Gao Shengwen put the phone in his pocket and walked towards me quickly.

He came over and looked at me and said, "Huzi, something happened again this time, come with me to have a look! I don't even know what's going on, it just happened suddenly."

As soon as I heard it, I felt vaguely in my heart that it might be another problem of feng shui.I looked at the time and said: "It's past four o'clock, and I can't see anything in the past. Just tell me if you have anything, these are the friends I met in Zhongnanshan who learn Buddhism. This little girl is for me. You call my people."

Pointing to Xiong Chenxue while talking, Gao Shengwen said with an oh: "Alright, let me tell you about it! After our community was built, everything was pretty good. This is mainly due to your good feng shui adjustments." , so I was planning to go to Guangzhou to help Anzi. As a result, last year, the government built a road on the side of No. I planted some drought-resistant trees. As a result, someone jumped from the No. [-] building before the New Year, and another person jumped from the building when you went to Mangshan after the Chinese New Year. This is not another person who jumped from the building this morning. I just dealt with the incident. Some people said that they often I heard singing over there, and I could see a woman in a white dress walking up and down the intersection."

As soon as Gao Shengwen finished speaking, I felt my arm was pinched.Looking back, it was Xiong Chenxue who was holding my arm tightly, and I smiled and blocked her hand.Said to Gao Shengwen: "Why is there a woman in white, why can't there be a woman in red?"

Gao Shengwen was stunned when he heard my words, and Wen Xinghe asked suddenly: "Are you talking about the Bahe side?" Gao Shengwen looked at his face and nodded.

Wen Xinghe immediately showed a frightened expression on his face, and said: "I have heard about this too. It is said that a driver pulled a woman in white clothes there at night, and gave him a hundred when he got off the bus. The woman didn't He asked for change and left. The driver was very happy at first, but when he looked down, it turned out to be a coin. When he got out of the car to look for the woman, he disappeared without a trace." After finishing speaking, he pinched his hands nervously A string of Buddhist beads.
