Wandering

Chapter 55
As soon as Facheng offered the purple gold bowl, Qiye's tone changed, and she was no longer so domineering: "Actually, I was just angry for a while, and I just wanted to teach him a lesson, not really want to kill him."

Facheng shook his head: "Why are you angry? Angry that he saved your life?"

Qiye: "Master is a monk. There are some things in the world that you don't understand. There was a misunderstanding between Ishino and I, but since Master Facheng came forward today, let's leave it alone. Qiye bid farewell."

This seven-year-old meeting saw the wind turn, and he made a merciless attack just now, clearly intending to put me to death and hurry up.Now Facheng fell from the tree, he couldn't do anything about it, he turned around and wanted to leave when he misunderstood something lightly.I sat on the ground and just watched, but Facheng stopped him: "Hey, Qiye, don't hurry, I still have something to tell you."

Qiye turned around and said, "What else can the master teach you?"

Facheng stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his smooth head again, as if he was thinking about something. After thinking for a while and looking at his expression, he remembered, and raised his head and said to Qiye: "Qiye Sanren, everyone in the world knows that you left the Zhongnan sect. This book It's an internal matter of the Zhongnan Sect, and others can't say anything about it. But Shi Ye saved you, and you are going to kill Shi Ye today. I'm afraid the world's practitioners don't know about it. After the old monk returns, he will tell others, do you mind?"

Qiye's face was gloomy: "Master, you can say what you want, but I don't think Buddhist monks should be chatty people."

Facheng ignored what Qiye said, blinked his eyes and thought again, and after thinking for a while, he continued: "You left the Zhongnan faction, I'm afraid you didn't cut yourself off from the world, did you? You have ambitions to compete with the world, first of all To gain the admiration of the people of the world. After the story between you and Shi Ye spreads in Jianghu, it’s fine if Shi Ye is safe and sound, but even if he has an accident in the future, you will be the first to be blamed for it. Practitioners in the world I can't agree with what you've done."

The more I listened, the more strange it became. This old monk usually speaks in a mixed bag, so how come these few sentences are neat, aggressive, and to the point?Qiye said angrily: "Could it be that others hurt Shi Ye, and I should be blamed?"

Facheng: "Shi Ye has nothing to do with the world, and he is favored by superiors. Practitioners in the world will not trouble him, except you. Now that what happened today, you will not be able to get rid of Shi Ye's affairs in the future, so Not only do you not want to trouble Shi Ye any more in the future, you'd better keep him safe and sound."

Qiye was speechless after Facheng's words, staring and gasping for breath.After Facheng finished speaking, he seemed very satisfied, touched his forehead again, and then waved to Qiye as if nothing happened: "I'm done talking, you can go." Then he turned to me and smiled: "I'm right. Right? That’s what the kid told me, I almost forgot, but luckily I remembered it all.”

It was only when I heard this that I realized that what Facheng said just now was not what Facheng wanted to say, but a child taught him to tell Qiye.The children in Facheng's eyes are, in all likelihood, gentlemen.Hearing what Facheng said, Qiye was also taken aback. He hurriedly turned around and looked around, "Child? What kid? Who else is here? Please show up and see!"

Don't tell me, someone really came out, but it wasn't a human being, but a big white dog.This dog was very tall, almost like a calf. It barked twice and ran out of the bushes. It ran directly to me and licked my face with its tongue, looking very kind.I recognized it, this is the big boy of Grandpa Jin's family, and it is the spirit mastiff that Junzi Feng stole in Qiyunguan.

The spirit mastiff appeared, Qiye stepped back a few steps, and looked into the bushes again, but no one else came out.Qiye looked at the two of us and the dog, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your enlightenment today, Qiye will leave." After speaking, he flew away like the wind.

Facheng ignored Qiye, but was very interested in Daguai, and reached out to touch Daguai's head, and asked curiously: "Whose strange beast is this, it actually scared Qiye away! It's so white Hey, do you take a shower every day?"

The big boy couldn't speak, but his temper was very docile. He stretched out his hand and licked Facheng's palm, then turned his head and yelled at me twice, and lowered his head to bite the corner of my clothes, intending to pull me up.

Facheng: "Shi Ye, is this your dog? I think it's a spirit mastiff."

I supported Daguai's back and stood up: "Master, this is the dog of an elder in our village. It's name is Daguai. By the way, I just heard from Master that there is a child who has something to tell you. Tell Qiye, is that person surnamed Feng?"

Facheng: "That's right, his name is Junzi Feng."

"I want to ask Master, what is the agreement between you and Feng Junzi? Why did Master show up to help you several times in times of crisis? I haven't thanked you yet."

Facheng shook his bald head: "The Buddha said 'Don't say it, don't say it.' You really want to know, why don't you ask Feng Xiaozi himself? I'm just here to meditate. This tree is broken. I'll find it again. one."

Facheng actually didn’t tell me, the old monk looked innocent and innocent, he didn’t look like he would lie, I couldn’t find anything out of it, rubbed his aching chest and smiled wryly, “Master, do you still want to find the sycamore tree?”

Facheng: "The phoenix tree? I remembered! The phoenix tree is the sacred tree where the phoenix lives. I am a monk but not a phoenix. No wonder I fall down. Let's go find the bodhi tree! It's just that there are people in the world who are not phoenix trees, but they want the phoenix to stay. , It's really pitiful..." Master Facheng left with a sigh, not knowing whether he was talking about me or Qiye.

After Facheng left, Daguai held me by the corner of my clothes and saw that its direction was the road to the entrance of Shizhu Village.That's really interesting, did Da Guai know that I'm going home today and came here to pick me up?This dog is really humane. Yesterday he knew that my birthday was going to be today, and he went up the mountain to catch a pheasant!When I saw it, I thought of whoosh again.

Just now when he was fighting with Qiye, his whole body was shaken. Although he broke a tree, he didn't suffer any trauma. The main reason is that he felt that his true energy and spirit were all depleted, and it wasn't too serious. Thanks to the old monk for his timely appearance.Following Daguai towards Shizhu Village, he saw a person standing outside the village looking around from a distance, as if he was waiting for someone.This person has white hair, but has a jade complexion, and is wearing a very traditional silver Tang suit. He is Grandpa Jin, an old Chinese doctor in our village.

"Grandpa Jin, why are you standing at the entrance of the village? Are you waiting for someone?"

Grandpa Jin: "Xiao Ye, I'm waiting for you. The school is on holiday, and it's your birthday today, so I guessed that you would go home. Just now, Daguai ran out suddenly, as if he was about to pick up someone. I went to the entrance of the village to have a look. You really came back."

"Thank you, I asked my dad to give me a pheasant yesterday."

Grandpa Jin laughed and said, "I have to thank you if I want to thank you. You actually sold me a few hundred catties of jujubes for 800 yuan. That pheasant is so valuable!"

"That's not because Grandpa Jin's dates are delicious. Many people in the city say that they haven't seen such good golden dates for many years."

Grandpa Jin: "That's right, there is no one else in Zhaoting Mountain except me. Huh! Xiao Ye, you look strange, and you seem to have internal injuries. Don't go home first, go back with me to have a look."

Grandpa Jin is the best doctor within a ten-mile radius. He immediately saw that something was wrong with me, so he immediately took my hand and led Daguai back to his house.He asked me to sit down in the living room, frowned slightly, felt my pulse, and said, "Your energy is abundant and your health is good, but recently you have internal damage. It's okay. I'll prescribe some side medicine for you to recuperate." That's enough... By the way, the girl surnamed Han who came to the village to see you last time is a big expert in dispensing medicine, and you'd better ask her to have a look as you work in someone's noodle shop."

When Grandpa Jin said this, I suddenly remembered that I had something on me, that is, the yellow bud pill that Qiye once gave me, and I always carried it with me.I took out the small porcelain bottle and handed it over: "Grandpa Jin, I have a pill here, can you see if it can be used?"

Grandpa Jin opened the porcelain bottle, poured the yellow bud pill into the palm of his hand, sniffed it with his nose, and smiled: "With this, it will be easy, Xiao Ye, why do you have such a good thing? Let's go, come to your house Go drink."

"Going to drink? No more medicine?"

Grandpa Jin: "This is medicine. Put it in wine and dissolve it. It can not only heal internal injuries, but also replenish vitality and beauty. Today, your family and I, an old man, are all stained. I have a bottle of it that has been hidden for 20 years. Good wine, I will also contribute today, I smell the medicinal properties, and it can make the wine taste even better."

Can Huang Ya Dan make wine more fragrant?This is the first time I have heard of it, but I have tried it in chicken soup before, and the chicken soup is indeed better.It turns out that the correct usage for ordinary people is to melt it with wine.

……

"Xiaoye, there is one thing that I have been worried about recently. Do you think we should open a noodle restaurant in another place?"

"Sister Ziying, what's wrong? Are you afraid? But where can you go? You can't hide back to Feijin Peak, right?"

I stayed at home overnight and returned to Wucheng the next afternoon.During the few days of the National Day holiday, the business of the noodle shop is the busiest, so I am embarrassed not to help.At eight or nine o'clock that night, after the guests had left, Axiu was cleaning the tables, chairs and benches. Sister Ziying said this to me in a discussing tone.My first reaction was shocking, I thought she was worried that Qiye would come to her again, but opening a noodle restaurant in another place is really not a good idea.

Sister Ziying: "You misunderstood. In this busy city, I am not afraid of what will happen to Qiye. No matter how high his cultivation base is, there are rules in the world of practice. But whether it is the Zhongnan School or Qiye, isn't he Can you play other tricks? It’s been almost half a year. Neither my noodle shop nor the landlords in Xiling Community have come to collect rent. I asked a few months ago, and these two landlords actually sold the house at the same time, at a high price. People I know. I thought it was because the new landlord was too busy to collect the rent, and the money has been kept, but it has been half a year, and no one has come to the door."

It turns out that this is the case. I haven't thought of this problem for a while.Now these two houses are mine, I don't want Miss Qian Ziying, of course I can't find a landlord.Thinking of this, I smiled and asked: "Sister Ziying, is it okay for Bai Zhubai not to ask you for money? Why are you still worried about others?"

Sister Ziying frowned and said, "The house is for others to live in, and the shop is for others to open, but they don't come to collect rent. How can there be such a good thing in the world? There must be a reason for abnormal things, and I'm afraid there are stories behind it. Now my identity has gradually faded." It's not a secret, I'm afraid it's someone with ulterior motives..."

I interrupted her with a smile: "Sister Ziying, do you think I look like someone with ulterior motives?"

Sister Ziying: "What? You? You mean... you are the new landlord?"

Sister Ziying is really smart, and even Junzi Feng once admired it, but she thought of it when I asked.The matter has come to this point, I decided not to hide it anymore, and said slightly apologetically: "Actually, I should have told you earlier, but I have never had a chance. Last time Zhang Zhi came to the store to find me and gave me a big envelope, which contained two One house deed, one is for this noodle shop, and the other is for the house you live in."

Sister Ziying: "So that's it! You exchanged a piece of vermilion fruit and Mr. Zhang for these two things? I searched and searched, but I didn't expect you to be right in front of me. You are lurking deep enough."

"Sister Ziying, do you still want to change places?"

Sister Ziying smiled, her smile was like a spring breeze blowing willows: "No change, no change! You actually became my landlord. After all, you are the owner of this noodle shop."

Axiu on the side also heard our conversation, and came over and said, "Shi Ye has become the boss, one of you is the boss, the other is the boss's wife, you are a perfect pair!"

Sister Ziying was ashamed, she pushed Axiu and said, "What are you talking about? Then what are you?... Xiao Ye, I have kept the rent of the two places for the past six months, and I will give it to you tomorrow."

"No, no, I don't need money."

Sister Ziying: "This money is yours in the first place, even if you don't need it, you can send it to your parents."

"Keep it for now. I'll ask you when I need money? My family doesn't need anything now. Besides, I eat here now, and you even buy my clothes. I really don't need it." With what money."

Recently, I really feel that there are very few places to spend money. I eat three meals a day that are cooked by sister Ziying, and my underwear and coat are all bought by sister Ziying for me.I once said no need, but Miss Ziying said that no amount of clothes can compare to the Ziying dress I gave her, so I had no choice but to let her go.Food and clothing are taken care of, and I haven't even touched the "stipend" of 80 yuan per month. If I have any expenses, I'm afraid the only thing left is to invite the gentleman to drink.I don’t know who said that the highest state of making money is not spending money. Although I don’t know how to make money, I feel very rich now.

Sister Ziying wanted to persuade me, and Axiu said: "Sister, you can save for him. He hangs out with gentlemen every day, so he won't be able to keep the money, and the money in his pocket will be spent by others. Besides, The girls in our class all say that a man who has money will learn to be bad, and you give him so much money at once, what should Brother Shiye do if he learns to be bad?"

Sister Ziying: "Axiu is talking nonsense again, how could Ono learn to be bad? ... This is fine, I will help you save, mine is yours. In the future, Axiu and I will manage this noodle shop well, so help me a lot Earn some..."

Axiu said again: "Yes, I think the things in our store are too cheap, Miss Ziying is not doing business at all. Also, brother Shi Ye, that house is also yours, do you want to move in and live with us? "

Sister Ziying also said: "Xiaoye, why don't you live in the city by yourself if you have a house? You can move in and live together. Anyway, there is room. Me, Axiu and I live in one room, and you live in the other room, so we can take care of it." you."

I waved my hand and said, "No, no, it's more convenient to live in the school dormitory, it's convenient to attend classes, and it's close to the noodle shop."

Axiu pouted: "Living in a dormitory with seven stinky men, what's so good? Brother Shi Ye, come live with us, I want to be with you every day."

"Seven stinky men? Should be eight? Don't forget that I'm also a man....Don't you already accompany me every day?"

Sister Ziying looked at me with lowered eyebrows, she seemed to have something to say in her eyes, but she turned to Axiu and said, "Axiu, if Shi Ye wants to live in the dormitory, he can live in the dormitory. Don't worry, after he reaches his golden elixir, there will be more Time... Don't forget, a real person has a lifespan of three yuan."

Sister Ziying said that there is still time after my golden elixir is completed, and she asked Axiu not to worry, why did I feel that the taste was not right?Because I know what that implies.But then she said that a real person has a life span of three yuan, which I have never heard of, and asked curiously: "What life span is three yuan?"

Sister Ziying looked at me with wide eyes: "Xiaoye, don't you learn alchemy? You don't even know about Sanyuan's life? Your master didn't tell you?"

I shook my head: "I don't know, my master never said it." Feng Junzi never said it.

Sister Ziying: "That's also possible. You are still young, and it's not time to tell you. Let me tell you, the so-called three yuan refers to the heaven, earth and human yuan. This is just a way of saying. One yuan is one. Jiazi, a Jiazi is 60 years. A person who learns Taoism can be called a real person after he has achieved the golden core, and a real person has a life span of 180 years in the world."

And such a good thing?Can Jindan live for 180 years?I asked Sister Ziying again: "Really? Why have I never heard of it? Where did you hear about it?"

Sister Ziying: "Of course it is true. The way of alchemy seeks longevity, and longevity is first of all about prolonging life. The cultivation of alchemy becomes more and more difficult as it goes on, and it often takes decades to reach a level. If there is no way to prolong life, what will happen in the end?" Can you gain longevity? It’s possible that you haven’t heard of it, because it’s not recorded in the alchemy book. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, there was a man named * Fei who wrote a book called "Sanyuan Yanshou Counselor Cheats", which talked about health preservation It is said in the book that as long as people are good at keeping in good health, they will have the longevity of three yuan. Although the author is not a practitioner, this book is not in the way of alchemy, but the state of body preservation he mentioned is the real person in the way of alchemy."

Axiu always spoke directly to the point, she asked: "How old is the person who wrote the book?"

Sister Ziying replied: "He lived to be 140 years old."

Hearing this, I believed what Sister Ziying said. Although the person who wrote the book did not live up to three yuan, his 140-year-old age is enough to prove that what he said about the way of keeping in good health is true.Thinking about it, this is completely normal, alchemy seeks longevity, but it takes time to practice alchemy, alchemy dies when he is a minor, and longevity is a fart!

Axiu asked again: "Then does this person's book say not to approach women?"

Sister Ziying smiled: "That's not true, this Mr. Li has married seven wives in his life."

After living for 140 years and marrying seven wives, he can live enough.I was embarrassed to discuss this issue again, so I asked instead: "Sister Ziying, among the people I know today, who can claim the longevity of Sanyuan?"

Sister Ziying blinked her eyes and thought for a while: "Shouzheng Daoist of Zhengyimen, if I remember correctly, he is 120 years old this year, and I heard he is still alive and kicking."

……

After the National Day in 1990, a major event happened in China, that is, the successful conclusion of the BJ Asian Games.Several major events also happened in my noodle restaurant: First, Sister Ziying and Axiu changed the sign on their own initiative and changed it into "Shiji Restaurant".The second is that the price of wonton has risen, from 90 cents per bowl to [-] yuan, and the price increase is [-]%.In fact, the price should have been raised long ago. In the past two years, the price of pork has slowly risen from [-] cents per catty to [-] yuan. This is one of the changes that occurred in urban and rural China in the early [-]s.The most important change is that the variety of business has been enriched, not only pastry, but also many special side dishes. Sister Ziying and Axiu are very good at this.Interestingly, after the price increase, the business of the noodle shop has improved.

The change of the noodle shop is not a matter of a day or two, but I encountered a very embarrassing thing on the first day of school after the National Day holiday.After school that afternoon, Axiu dragged me back to the noodle shop for dinner, but Teacher Liu stopped me and told me to go with her, because she wanted to ask me something.

Teacher Liu did not lead me to the Chinese teaching and research section, but walked through the teaching building of the junior high school to the direction of the teachers' dormitory.I followed her, feeling uneasy, thinking about my examination.As mentioned above, Junzi Feng came to me for a drink the next night after fighting with Qixin, and after drinking too much, he forced me to go to school for self-study, but at the school gate, he ran into Teacher Liu and her boyfriend Tang Jin.Teacher Liu saw what we were like, and asked Junzi Feng and I to go back and write a copy of the inspection and hand it in the next day.

Feng Junzi finished the inspection that night, maybe he was not sober from the wine, and thought it was the teacher who was arranging the composition.What he wrote in the inspection was full of literary talent and rich voice, not only citing scriptures, but also accompanied by a seven-character quatrain written by himself at the end.Teacher Liu was not polite after reading it, and directly approved a sentence with a red pen: "If this is a composition, I can give you full marks. Unfortunately, this is an inspection, rewrite!" The kid honestly took it back and rewrote. He wrote a self-criticism and passed the test.

So did his check.But after my inspection was handed in, there was no sound, and Teacher Liu never looked for me again.I knew she would come to see me sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to be the first day after the holiday.

Teacher Liu led me to her dormitory and closed the door.At that time, the dormitory for single teachers in Wucheng Middle School was still a row of old-fashioned brick bungalows, and single teachers lived in one room.The dormitory is not big. A single bed, a bamboo bookshelf, a wardrobe, a washbasin stand, a desk and a chair in front of the window sill are all the furnishings in the dormitory.The windows are old-fashioned wooden ribbed windows with steel railings on them.The flowers outside the window sill should be newly planted not long ago, but they are actually pink roses growing in the wild.It seems that Teacher Liu is not only planting flowers, but more importantly, planting thorns.As a beautiful single woman like her, she really needs such a bush of thorns outside the windowsill to protect her.

My heart was beating wildly, this was the first time I was alone with her.Teacher Liu asked me to sit on a chair, sat down on the bed beside him, reached out to open the drawer of the desk, and took out a piece of paper, which was the inspection I wrote.

"Ishino, what's going on? Can you explain to me?"

This inspection was written by me myself. The first two paragraphs are nothing special, just a student who made a mistake to criticize the teacher in a proper manner.The key lies in the last paragraph, which Mr. Liu has marked with a pencil: "Mr. Liu, I saw you and Tang Jin together again at night. I don't know what is the relationship between him and you now, but I I want to tell you that he is not a good person, neither he nor his father. Back then, when Principal Liu Zigui was persecuted, it was now Director Tang Song and Principal He Zhuoxiu who framed him behind his back. The gangster you met that night was actually Tang Jin Arranged. I have no way to prove my words, but what I said is true. I think you are the best woman in the world, don't be with someone like Tang Jin!"

I wrote this inspection in the dormitory that night. I also drank alcohol that day. Maybe it was because of the influence of alcohol that I wrote such a paragraph.When my mind became clear the next day, I wanted to tear up the inspection and rewrite a copy, but I hesitated again and again, so I gritted my teeth and handed it to Teacher Liu.I did this, not for myself, of course, but for her.Perhaps there is also a little illusory selfishness.

I looked at the piece of paper on the table and didn't speak for a long time, only to hear Teacher Liu ask in my ear: "Shi Ye, why did you write these words? Why are you? Do you know that your accusation is very serious?" serious."

"Ms. Liu, can we do an experiment? I sit here blindfolded, and I can know things you think I can't know, such as you writing behind me." I didn't know how to answer Teacher Liu's question for a while. I simply broke my heart and used the most thorough method to tell her my secret.Only from scratch can she believe everything I say.

Teacher Liu was taken aback, she didn't expect me to say such a sentence, she looked at me: "Shi Ye, you are so strange, why should I do this experiment with you? This is too absurd! Have you recently been psychologically What problem can't be solved?"

Teacher Liu's reaction was within my expectation. She began to suspect that I had a mental problem.I gritted my teeth and made a last resort. I took out a work card with a hard plastic cover from my jacket pocket and handed it to her. At the bottom of the cover were "National Defense Industry Science and Technology Committee" in small gilded characters.My decision today made me violate all the rules, the first is the precept of the practice world not to confuse people with Taoism, and the second is the confidentiality discipline of not revealing your identity at will in the training camp.I always thought that I would not violate it, but today for her, I voluntarily.

Teacher Liu took the work card, opened it and saw my name and photo, and obviously couldn't believe her eyes.She rubbed her eyes and looked at it carefully again, then touched the stencil marks on the photo with her hand, as if she was checking whether it was real or not.She asked, "Ishino, what's going on? You're just a middle school student, how come you have a work permit from the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense?"

"I'm showing you my certificate. I just want to tell you that I'm actually a very special person. I'm going to do that experiment, not because I have a mental problem. Only in this way can I explain what I want to say."

Teacher Liu's expression was a bit dazed, as if he was at a loss. After looking at me for a long time, he finally said: "Well, I will accompany you to do this experiment today. Don't cover your eyes, just sit there, facing the window, don't look back .”

I sat there facing out the window and closed my eyes.Teacher Liu picked up a notebook with a hard cover from the table, walked to the doorway behind me, held the notebook with her hand, and wrote something on it.The dormitory was very quiet, only the rustling sound of the pen tip on the paper could be heard.

After my alchemy practice reached the state of "returning to turn", I was finally able to confirm the "four gates and twelve floors" and the "three dreams in the world".That is to say, before I could only wander about in sleep and dream, but after reaching the state of "never leave the road for even a moment, walking, sitting, lying and always present", I can leave the body in an instant.I sat there with my eyes closed and fell silent, performing the Dafa of dreaming, and I stood beside Teacher Liu, but she couldn't see me.I stood very close, and a strand of hair scattered on her forehead almost touched the tip of my nose.

After a while, Teacher Liu finally stopped writing, closed the notebook, stood there, and stared at my back.Her eyes were full of doubts, and there was a trace of complicated emotions. I was surprised that she actually looked at me for so long!She looked at my back, and I didn't want to disturb her, so I also looked at her profile.The two of us "looked at each other" for a long time in this strange way.

"Shi Ye, you can open your eyes and turn around." Teacher Liu finally broke the silence.

The yin spirit returned to my place, I opened my eyes and stood up, turned around and asked, "Mr. Liu, do you really want me to read everything you wrote?"

Teacher Liu nodded: "Of course, you are the one who will do this experiment yourself. It doesn't matter if you can't read it out, I will give you this notebook, and you can take it back and read it yourself."

I shook my head: "I'd better recite it myself."

Teacher Liu's eyes were full of disbelief: "You really can know what I wrote without reading it?"

I opened my mouth and repeated word by word what she wrote in the notebook just now——
