"This is simply the world of canyons. I didn't expect that when I first entered this strange place, I, Donghuangting, would have encountered such natural beauty. If I could understand the natural Tao in these canyons into my own Tao and turn it into my own way, wouldn't it be wonderful?" Thinking of this, Donghuangting's body swept upwards and came to a height of tens of thousands of meters.

Since he became an immortal, he has become more and more proficient in the skills of flying in the air. It is not impossible to go to the nine heavens to embrace the moon.

The Eastern Imperial Court hangs in the sky, looking down from a high point, and then found the core of the canyons. Flying down, when he arrived at the peak of the canyon, the extremely beautiful scenery attracted all his gaze, and even his body and mind were much more pleasant.

"What a great place. It's a great place to realize the truth here, but it's great!" Dong Huangting said, then sat down and began to close his eyes cross-legged.

All things in the world are transformed into the Tao, and the height, hardness and softness are in harmony with nature. Naturally, the unity of man and nature is the unity of nature, and the mind is united with all things, and the mind is united with all things, and the mind is united with all things and is peaceful. To achieve the extreme of emptiness, keep quiet, and be wholehearted and devoted to transcending life and death, and forever think about oneself and oneself will be truly true!

Donghuangting felt the movement and stillness of all things, felt his spiritual consciousness gradually drifting away, centered on where he sat cross-legged, and then slowly spread out in all directions.

The spiritual sense feels the veins of this earth, water is like blood, cliffs are like bones, mountains are like shoulders, gullies are like patterns on the body, plants are sparse and dense like sweat, hair, stars are like eyes, wind, rain, cold and cold are like the feeling of facial features, birth, old age, sickness and death are like the nine curves of the rivers, lakes and oceans, the sea embraces all rivers, tolerance is great, the heart is combined with all things, and can understand the heaven and earth, the universe, yin and yang, all return to nature, and all return to Taoism.

This moment is too short, like the passing of morning dew; this moment is too long, like a long time. The four seasons are not enough to be discussed, and you can realize the nature!

I don’t know how long it took, but Donghuangting was like a sitting sculpture in silence. No matter how rich the flowers and trees are, no matter how clouds and water flow, the four seasons are like dreams, everything that comes is his Taoist heart.

At this moment, the Donghuangting returned to simplicity and was introverted; at this moment, the Donghuangting exploded instantly, without any eyes, and was already ordinary.

This is his natural way, the way of heaven and earth that integrates everything, which he calls the "Twenty Ways of Nature".

When Dong Huangting stood up, every move, every look, every step he took, even his robe was in line with the natural way.

This place is magical. It was his luck to be here. Now that he has realized his own 20 natural paths, it is the first major breakthrough since entering the Tao. Donghuangting was able to break out of the cocoon in a short time, enter the state of divine and restraint, and return to simplicity and truth, which is inseparable from the teachings of his parents.

It is a great gift for Donghuangting to thank his parents with the results of progress.

He knew there was a thimble story, which said that there was a snack shop in the city called "Haoyoulai", which specialized in the management of famous dried fruits and various pastries from all over the country.

Unfortunately, when Zuo Zhanggui was strong, he suddenly fell ill and left behind his wife Zuo and his teenage son Zuo Xiangu.

Zuo was a strong woman. She refused to give a kind persuasion to remarry, and devoted herself to raising her son and running a shop. She lived a peaceful and stable life.

But her son Zuo Xiangu was worried. The little guy didn't like studying since he was a child, so Zuo's idea of ​​letting his son study and become an official Guangyao family, and he devoted himself to teaching him business practices.

When Zuo Xiangu became an adult, he asked him to go out with the store’s old friend Uncle Jiang to buy goods, gain knowledge and polish his mind.

Zuo Xiangu is a smart person who is quick to do business. He is not inferior to adults when talking about business at a young age, but he is a little too ambitious and can't calm down in anything he does.

For this reason, Zuo talked about him a lot, but he always went in and out of the right ear, and never remembered it in his heart, and of course his mind had not improved.

Not long after, Zuo fell seriously ill and was bedridden. When she was dying, she took her son's hand, took out a thimble from her arms and put it on his hand, and said, "This is our family heirloom, you must keep it well."

This is a copper thimble. When a woman sews clothes or soles, she puts them on her middle finger to use them to tail the needle. Every household has this thimble. Zhang Xiangu is very familiar with this thimble. The clothes he wore and the cloth shoes he wore were all sewn by his mother wearing this thimble and staying up late under the soybean oil lamp.

Zuo Xiangu said disapprovingly: "There are such thimbles everywhere, it's very ordinary, why has it become a family heirloom?"

Zuo said: "My son, don't underestimate this thimble, it is a priceless treasure. If one day you encounter a problem that cannot be solved, you can use it to find Huang Yuanwai of the Wild Boar Forest. He will buy this thimble at a high price. He is the only one in this world who knows the goods, remember it!" Zuo swallowed after saying that.

After finishing his mother's funeral, Zuo Xiangu locked the thimble into the box and put it on the shelf.

Zuo Xiangu became the shopkeeper of the "Hao Youlai" dim sum shop. In addition to doing business, he likes to socialize and meets many bosses in the business world.

One day, when Zuo Xiangu was drinking with a group of bosses in the "Deyuelou" restaurant, Feng Shi, the newly-met Silk Storekeeper Feng Shi was arrogant and ridiculed Zuo Xiangu's "Hao Youlai" dim sum shop was a useless rib, and it was a pity to abandon it if you eat it tastes tasteless.

This sentence hit Zuo Xiangu's weakness. In fact, he thought so in his heart, but he just didn't say it clearly.

The dim sum business is a small business. If the investment is less, the profit will be less. Unlike the silk business, shell coins are in and out like flowing water, and they look glorious.

After being humiliated for a few days, Zuo Xiangu thought: "My mind is not worse than Fengshi. Fengshi can do silk business, why can't he?" So he decided to change careers and also open a silk business.

When the old friend Uncle Jiang learned that Zuo Xiangu was going to close the snack shop, he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Young master, as the saying goes, "Are you saying that apart apart is like a mountain. If you don't understand the silk market at all, you will suffer a loss. Besides, the silk business is expensive, so how can you have that much capital?"

Zuo Xian Gu pointed to his head and said, "Business depends on this place. If others can do it, I can do it. As for capital, I have a way."

He immediately closed the snack shop, changed the counter, and reopened it, which was called "Hao Youlai" Silk Shop.

He took out all his savings and mortgaged the old house to the money house in exchange for a large sum of shell coins as capital.

Zuo Xiangu was agile and able to endure hardships. He quickly figured out the tricks in the silk business and did his business well.

But after only half a year, he felt overwhelmed. Why? Because of vicious competition. Zuo Xiangu's business was good, which made his peers jealous. Those old-fashioned silk shops had a strong foundation, so several shopkeepers joined hands to reduce prices. The "Hao Ailai" silk shop with a thin foundation naturally felt difficult.

One day, Zuo Xiangu was thinking about how to get out of the predicament in the shop. At this time, a merchant came, who looked very smart and claimed to be the shopkeeper of the "Xiangfurui" silk shop in the big city, and wanted to talk to Shi Xiangu about a deal.

For Yunzhong, his silk shop agent purchased silk for the palace-specific silk. This year, he had too much inventory and had to sell it before the end of the year to free up the warehouse. Today, Yunzhonglai specially brought a truck of silk to see if Zuo Xiangu needs it.

Zuo Xiangu looked at the goods on the carriage. It was indeed the best silk, and the price quoted by Yunzhonglai was reasonable. He was secretly happy. It was almost the end of the year, and many wealthy households would prepare new clothes for the New Year. This batch of good silk and other silk stores did not have them, so they could make a big profit. He immediately bargained to buy the cargo.

Unexpectedly, after half a month, several officials suddenly came, seized the "Hao You Come" silk trip, and brought Zuo Xiangu to the yamen.

It turned out that several thieves stole the warehouse of the "Xiangfurui" silk shop and stole a batch of silk that was specially provided by the Jade Palace. The cart of silk that Zuo Xiangu bought was part of the stolen.

Later, the thief was arrested and confessed that he had pretended to be Yunzhong and sold a batch of stolen goods to Zuo Xiangu...

The stolen goods were confiscated and a large amount of shell coins were fined, which greatly damaged Zuo Xiangu. What's even more serious is that after this change, his reputation in the industry has plummeted and fewer customers have been.

Finally, in the spring of the following year, Zuo Xiangu had to close the silk shop, and the old house was taken away by the money house. He had to squeeze in Uncle Jiang's rented house and stay there.

Gu Xian Gu always wanted to make a comeback, but he was struggling to have no capital. On this day, he suddenly remembered that his mother passed on a thimble when she was dying, saying that it was a priceless treasure. One day he could not pass it and he could help him overcome the difficulties.

He Xiangu hurriedly opened the box, took out the thimble, and ran to the nearby antique house.

The shopkeeper of the antiques shop took the thimble and looked at it, threw it out of the counter, scolding, "Shopkeeper Zuo, I think you are crazy about money, and you are fooling me with such a broken thing!"

Zuo Xiangu picked up the thimble and looked carefully but couldn't see anything strange. He was very confused. If it was not worth it, why would his mother pass it to him solemnly, and even said that she could help him overcome the difficulties.

At this time, he suddenly remembered that his mother said that only Mr. Huang from the Wild Boar Forest knew the goods. Zuo Xiangu immediately ran to the Wild Boar Forest with a thimble.

The Wild Boar Forest is not far from the city. There is a big manor in the forest, which is Huang Yuanwai’s residence.

Zuo Xiangu found Mr. Huang to explain his purpose. Mr. Wei took the thimble and said, "I didn't expect you to come here so soon. But it's good, come early, wake up early, and look back early."

Zuo Xiangu was confused by his words.

Mr. Huang told Zuo Xiangu that he was Zuo Xiangu’s distant cousin. He also said: “I can help you make a comeback, but you have to tell me what business you would do if you were given a chance.”

Zuo Xiangu said ambitiously: "Of course it is to reopen a silk business."

Mr. Huang shouted: "I'm confused!" He continued to say that Youxiangu was restless and could not calm down when doing things. His mother had long expected that he would change his course. His mother also expected that his nature would not listen to advice, and he would not turn back without hitting the wall. Only by suffering losses and being deceived would he wake up. So he put a coin at his cousin Huang Yuanwai's house. After Zuo Xiangu woke up, he could make a comeback.

Mr. Huang said earnestly: "Three hundred and sixty professions, and every profession is the top scholar. If the dim sum shop is ready, it will not be worse than the silk profession. The key is that you must be calm and do it with your heart."

After hearing what the official said, Zuo Xian Guru was enlightened. He had been immersed in the dried fruit and pastry industry since he was a child, and he had already known the tricks of this industry. Naturally, he was very comfortable to do it. Suddenly changing his course, it was like letting a tiger on the mountain learn from the dragon in the sea, either drowning or starving to death.

He asked himself, after nearly a year of struggling in the silk business, he actually didn't really enter this business, but instead got injured.

The official returned the thimble to Zuo Xiangu and asked, "This is an ordinary thimble, but do you know why your mother was passed on to you as a family heirloom?" Zuo Xiangu shook his head.

The official said: "The thimble, some people also call it "the thimble", means being more serious. I am afraid of being more serious in everything. Only by being more serious can you do anything well. This thimble actually has a deep meaning."

So that's it, my mother really has good intentions! Zuo Xiangu immediately expressed his opinion that he would continue to open a snack shop and carry it forward.

"Hao You Come" dim sum shop reopened. Zuo Xiangu started the dried fruit and pastry business with a down-to-earth manner. Later, he opened several branches, and the business grew bigger and bigger.

Other shopkeepers often wear precious rings to show off their wealth, but Zuo Xiangu always wears the thimble on his hands. He often tells him to his new business partners that this is his family heirloom, priceless! His tone is full of pride.

Because, Zuo Xiangu has always been proud of having an amazing mother in his heart. (To be continued)
