My alternative life

The old Taoist said that he didn't care whether we would follow him or not. He turned around and went.

LAN LAN and I see each other to invite each other, exchange each other's eyes, slightly nodded, shoulder to shoulder to follow up.

After more than ten steps, Lao Dao let us into a small room behind the main hall. Judging from the furnishings inside, it should be a place for him to meditate.

The room is not big. Except for the basic bedding and kettle stove, I don't see such basic household appliances as TV and refrigerator. It can be seen that the old Taoist priest's daily life is very poor.

I can't help but wonder that he should also be a monk in Louguantai, but he doesn't seem to be doing very well

The two sides sat down. The Taoist priest didn't mean to exchange too much greetings with us. He said, "have the two believers ever been converted?"

This question I was stunned!

Because my grandfather was a religious man who practiced at home before he died, I still know some basic knowledge of Taoism.

Taoists have many different names for ordinary people in the secular world. Generally speaking, tourists who come to pray are called believers. If they convert to practice at home and have a certain theoretical basis, they are called laymen.

While Taoists praise each other as friends. As for the titles of presiding over and supervising the court, they mostly refer to their positions in the temple. A Taoist priest with high moral standing, successful cultivation or profound theory is honored as a real person or high merit.

The old Taoist didn't ask us where we came from or why we came here. Instead, he asked us whether we were converted As soon as I thought about it, I understood that the other party was coming up to "determine our identities.".

If LAN LAN and I were hermits, maybe he would talk to us about some profound Taoist theories, otherwise he might just say a few polite words to send us away.

After all, if we have no practice and don't understand daomen theory, it's like playing the lute to a cow and not understanding it.

With this idea, I said with a smile, "why does Gao Gong say that? In fact, it doesn't make much difference whether we are hermits or believers. If we have a master in our heart, behave properly, accumulate merits and virtues, and do good deeds, we can live a life without worry. Is that the truth? "

My words surprised the other party again. The Taoist looked me up and down for several times, and finally showed his smile and nodded his head gently. "I'm really a wonderful person. It seems that today you and I are predestined..."

However, as he opened his mouth and laughed, I noticed that the other person's teeth were open and his face was wrinkled. It seemed that his age was a little older than my initial judgment. I'm afraid he was not sixty or seventy years old?

I don't know why, although the old Taoist's attitude has become kind, my heart is gradually tense. It seems that the invisible pressure brought by the old Taoist priest is far greater than that of director Yao of the Ministry of justice.

"Since you and I are destined to meet each other, please go to my Lord and say goodbye. Let's talk slowly..."

This conversation, Lan Lan around some do not understand, had to look at us at a loss, how much some at a loss.

"Good!"

I took Lan Lan's hand and knew that the Taoist priest was still testing me - the other side wanted to see if Jiang Feng knew who "Ye" was, or just what was said by hearsay

When I got to Lanlan's ear, I said softly, "LAN, Taoism not only respects Sanqing Daozu and their own ancestors, but also respects Taisui. What we call" Ye "is Taisui..." (according to ancient records, Taisui is the abbreviation of Taisui God. It is one of the Taoist gods who are on duty every year. The Taisui God who was on duty at that time is called wunian Taisui (LiuNian Taisui). Taisui God has the greatest influence among all gods. It is known as the son of heaven in the middle of the year. It is in charge of good luck, bad luck and good fortune in the world in one year.)

"Oh..." Lan Lan nodded and didn't say much. After all, she really didn't know about these mysterious Taoist systems.

Dragging Lan Lan, we went to the venerable deity in front of the room, lit a candle, kowtowed three heads respectfully, then took out wine from our backpack, poured three cups and splashed them on the ground in turn

In the whole process, the old Taoist always kept silent and quietly looked at me and LAN LAN. He didn't know what he was thinking

After all this, I got up and went to the old Taoist priest and said, "Gao Gong, we are really upset when we come to Louguantai today. I hope Gao Gong can give us some advice."

"Sit down."

The old Taoist said, and then he took something out of his arms. I was so surprised that I couldn't close my mouth for a long time.

It turned out to be a mobile phone!

Although it is similar to the old model that can only receive calls and send text messages, it is also a mobile phone after all

I didn't expect that this Taoist priest, who looks like an expert in the world, finally has the ability to keep pace with the times.

Mobile phone It has nothing to do with the daily necessities that we see in the narrow room, which have no flavor of modern life.

The old Taoist took a look at the time on his mobile phone, and then said to us, "it's not enough to point out the maze. Let's talk through the hexagrams."

So, I was shocked again

Don't you have to say anything at all, and the Taoist has already guessed that we want to ask for divination?I stared at each other again and again. After thirty or forty seconds, I finally gave up.

As a high-ranking student majoring in psychology, I can't see the reason in front of the enigmatic Taoist. I don't know how the other party guesses that we are here for divination. I don't know what the Taoist is thinking about. I don't even know what rules he has for divination

"Don't think about it, two believers. I'm willing to give you a hexagram because I'm destined to meet you today However, according to the habit of poor Tao, you need to understand how much of the cause and effect can be understood by yourself

I'm sorry to hear that again. After the divination, if there is no professional to explain it in detail, how can we laymen Xiaobai understand it!

See me in a daze, Lan Lan pulled my sleeve, "Feng, you talk quickly!"

"Oh, good."

At this point, I couldn't help saying it, so I thought about it and asked, "Taoist priest, I want to ask about my blessings and misfortunes in this year. Is there anything I need to pay special attention to If there is a disaster, how can we make profit and avoid disaster? "

Originally, I wanted to ask about my brother-in-law's case, but on second thought, it seems that the pattern is too small. In other words, if you ask yourself the luck of a year, it seems that you can know more from the providence

After all, as long as I am Jiang Feng in the Universiade, there should be no big problems for my family, because I will never sit back and ignore anything at home. If I am good, everyone will be good, and vice versa.

Simply put, since the future of work in Shashan female prison is uncertain and the road is bumpy, I might as well ask myself the good and bad luck of this year.

Hearing what I asked for, Lao Dao took out yellow paper and pen and continued to draw on it. At the same time, he continued to tap the thumb of his left hand on the other four fingers, as fast as Feihong!
