On the winding and steep mountain road, the boy's singing became more and more real from far to near.
Along with the wind, the fog is blown away.
Facing the warm sun, express your feelings directly.
"Flying... straight down... three thousand feet..."
While singing, the boy's singing suddenly stopped. Zhu Yunxi stood on the top of the mountain and looked down, only to see the boy staggered and fell on the mountain road.
But the old man always had his hands behind his back and looked at him with a smile, but never offered a helping hand.
"Floating down..." The boy got up and rubbed his head in annoyance, as if he couldn't think of what the next sentence should be.
"What's the next sentence?" Zhu Yunxi murmured.
His performance today made Deng Ping always on tenterhooks and very panicked.
When I heard him ask the question at this moment, I blurted out without hesitation, "Go back to Long Live Lord, and I poured three drops of shit into my mouth. I felt that I didn't have any paper in my pocket..."
In an instant, both of them were stunned.
Then Zhu Yunxi squinted his eyes and spit out one word from between his teeth, "Get out!"
"yes!"
~~
At this time, the old man and the boy also climbed to the top of the mountain.
The old man's anger remained unchanged, while the boy's eyes were extremely bright even though he was panting and his cheeks were red.
Only then did Zhu Yunxi discover that the old man and the young man were all Taoists.
When the old Taoist saw Zhu Yunxi, he nodded kindly.
The boy was about to sit down when he was slapped on the back of the head by the old Taoist.
The boy muttered and kowtowed to the imperial stone tablet pavilion on the top of the mountain. Then he took out some water and dry food from the package on the old Taoist's back, and the two of them sat on the ground comfortably.
"This old Taoist priest!" Zhu Yunxi stepped forward and said, "Why did you two climb the mountain?"
The old Taoist turned around and smiled, "Mountain climbing is mountain climbing. Why?"
Suddenly, Zhu Yunxi paused.
"I have asked my master this before. I don't know why I want to climb mountains, but my master takes me hiking every day!" The boy said with a smile.
Zhu Yunxi looked at Lao Dao.
The old Taoist smiled and looked at the boy with loving eyes, "I ask you to climb a mountain, and I will let you experience the difficulty of traveling in the world early!"
"The difficulty of the road does not lie in the steepness, ruggedness, or whether there is a road under your feet. The difficulty lies in perseverance, perseverance, bravery, perseverance..."
"As you travel, be sure not to be resentful, or to hold back and be critical just because the road is not good. You must know that most roads in this world are not easy to walk."
"In life, whether you are traveling or doing things, the most reliable thing is your feet and your state of mind after all!"
The boy stood up and solemnly thanked him.
Zhu Yunxi beside him was thoughtful.
"You were not good just now!" The old Taoist said to the boy again. "You deliberately slowed down your pace several times, and even pretended to fall in front of your teacher, right?"
"Oh?" The boy's face turned red, "Hehe, you can't hide anything from the master!"
"Traveling is like a boat. If you don't advance, you will retreat!" the old Taoist said sternly, "The breath in my heart is too late, and it will be difficult to mention it again. And the road is already difficult, and the anger is vented, and the road will become even more long and difficult.
OK!"
"Besides, do you think that the master will give you a hand and carry you for a while to make you lazy?"
"You idiot! The only path you take is the path you take. In life, how can there be so many external forces to borrow? Besides, you are a man, and if you always want others to help you, you are already at a disadvantage!"
As he spoke, the old Taoist sighed, "Although you and I are both cultivators, cultivating the Dao, like being a human being, requires the courage to climb..."
"Why climb?" The boy was puzzled.
"Because in life, if you don't climb, you will never know how much you weigh!" The old Taoist smiled and said, "Good man, if you don't climb... you will suddenly look back after a few years, others have already climbed in front of you, standing on your feet.
On your head..."
The wind blew slowly.
Caress your cheek.
Listening to the old Taoist's teachings to the boy, Zhu Yunxi was thoughtful.
Immediately, he quietly walked over, sat down next to an old man and a young man, looked at the old Taoist and said, "The journey is difficult, but there are many roads, so why must we take our disciples to take the most difficult road up the mountain?
"
"Life is like this, only after suffering first can there be sweetness later!" The old Taoist smiled, "Buddhists talk about gradual progress, but my Taoists talk about the heart...Procedure is for things, and talking about the heart is for planning..."
"However, in the eyes of the younger generation, such a steep and rugged mountain road is still too difficult for a boy!" Zhu Yunxi said again.
"Hahaha!" the old Taoist laughed heartily, "The road is right here! Whether it is difficult or not, neither the old Taoist nor his disciples can decide."
"Manpower is poor. Not to mention my master and apprentice, even twenty people can't open up a new and easy path."
"If you can't find a new path, you can only move forward carefully with your feet!" As he said this, the old Taoist's face became solemn, "External things cannot be changed, but idealism can be persevered!"
Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi stood in awe.
Isn't this the best answer to the problem that bothers him?
In such a huge empire, a common problem that has existed for thousands of years cannot be changed by human power.
But, the empire is here.
People must also go on.
You can't change the mountain, you can't change the road, you can only follow this road. If you move forward bravely, the future will be bright. If you are depressed or even disheartened, the road ahead will be gloomy.
At this time, the old Taoist looked at Zhu Yunxi and said slowly, "The road is here, the mountain is here, everything remains unchanged, only people can change. But people's changes should not follow the changes of things. The great Confucian said, no
You should be happy with things but not sad with yourself, and you should be kind to yourself!"
"Of these two, only the one with great perseverance cannot listen!"
Zhu Yunxi stood up, bowed his head and said, "Junior, please thank Taoist Master for your guidance!"
"No way!" The old Taoist waved his hand and said, "We cultivators just like to talk like this, so please don't be weird!"
As he said that, he lowered his head, looked at the sesame seed cake in his hand, and then smiled heartily, "It's a pity..."
"What's a pity?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
"It's a pity that we only brought two sesame seed cakes, so we can't invite the young master!" the old Taoist said with a smile.
Zhu Yunxi also laughed, "May I ask where the elder cultivates Taoism?"
"At the foot of the mountain!" the boy shouted loudly, "Huilong Temple!"
"How many Taoists are there?" Zhu Yunxi asked again.
"There are only two of us, master and disciple?" the Taoist priest said, ate the sesame seed cake, and then said seriously, "Master, our master and disciple do not accept incense!"
Zhu Yunxi was slightly startled, "How did you know that I was going to give alms?"
The old Taoist suddenly smiled, "To put it bluntly, Master, you are so rich and noble..." As he said, he suddenly smiled evilly, "You are so rich and noble, you are the wronged child.
Face, haha!”
"I'm... the wrongdoer... hahaha!" Zhu Yunxi laughed.
At this time, the old Taoist master and his disciples ate sesame seed cakes, drank water, and stood up together.
The old Taoist nodded to Zhu Yunxi again and said to the boy, "Little Junbao, let's go!"
"Lao Junbao, I will follow you!"
The sun was shining, and the figures of an old man and a young man stretched very long on the ground.
"Remember, the road down the mountain is easy to walk. But the easier the road is, the slower you have to slow down and the more careful you have to be! You have to know that falling down when going down the mountain is worse than going up the mountain!" the old Taoist shouted.
"Disciple knows!" The boy also shouted, "If you fall up the mountain, you will go backward, and if you fall down the mountain, you will go forward. If you fall, you will roll down and no one can stop you!"
The two voices gradually became distant.
Zhu Yunxi stood there and suddenly shouted, "You haven't asked for the title of the Taoist Priest yet?"
"Why ask when we meet by chance?" came the old Taoist voice from far away.
"This young master!" Unexpectedly, the boy shouted happily, "My master's name is Junbao..."
Snapped!
But it was the old Taoist who patted his disciple on the head and said, "A journey is a journey. Who told you to laugh? Walk well!"
