The veteran tactician raised his head. I didn't say this was a rule. I just asked to confirm. Why did it become ours?
Hey, that’s not right, you are just a little girl, what kind of career do you think you have?
Seeing the old Taoist's hesitation, Han Yike couldn't help but frown and urge: "Can it be considered a career? Are you going to bluff me?"
"How could it be... If you want to have a career, of course you can..."
Seeing that there were a lot of tourists coming and going, the old Taoist didn't want to stare at a girl, so he quickly changed his wallet and box. He took it out and signaled Han Yi to pick one.
"These are all about career signings, you pick one."
Han Yike looked at a box of purses, stretched out his little hand, reached inside, dug around, and finally took out a purse.
From the beginning to now, Lao Dao suddenly felt that the little girl in front of him suddenly became unlovable.
Opening the purse, there was a note inside with a pair of upper and lower couplets.
Han Yike looked left and right, very puzzled.
"Xu Taotai, what are you talking about?"
"Let me see."
Xu Ran took the note and read it.
Most of these upper and lower couplets are vague and can make people have unlimited reveries. This routine is basically used in every temple.
But even if it was unclear, he could still give a rough idea. Xu Ran felt that it would be okay for him to get a rough look.
"The thundering summer wind returns to the earth, and the return of virtue returns to life step by step."
After reading this couplet, Xu Ran couldn't help but fell silent.
The upper and lower couplets are so confusingly written that they can no longer be considered couplets.
But think about it, there are so many wallets attached to the lottery tickets, and they cannot be described clearly, and there are not many that are vague enough to make people feel a little bit, so these Taoist priests have no choice but to write them by themselves.
Although the writing was blurry, Xu Ran could see some things.
For example, the first couplet simply means the return of summer, and the seasons are divided into four seasons. Each of the four seasons has its own meaning: birth in spring, growth in summer, harvest in autumn, and storage in winter.
In particular, this purse is a comparison of life and career, so this summer is used to compare people's career growth.
If you put aside the confusion of the couplet's words, the meaning it expresses is quite consistent with Han Yike's.
It happens to be summer, and the summer games are about to start. Han Yike is competing on the court. Why not grow up in this summer?
And the next sentence, the return of virtue comes step by step in life.
It’s easy to understand. It means that people will become more mature and sensible as they grow up. Virtue represents character. Does it mean that Han Yi can’s quality will become higher?
Xu Ran couldn't help but glance at Han Yike, who was looking at him expectantly.
Will this lolita really get better one day?
To put it simply, this couplet means that in this summer season, Han Yike's career will grow and his life will rise step by step.
But how can I talk to Han Yike? If she says it bluntly, I'm afraid she will float...
Just when Xu Ran hesitated, the old Taoist took the initiative to reach out and said with a smile: "If you are confused, you can ask the old Taoist to help you clear up the confusion."
Xu Ran rolled his eyes, handed the couplet over, and asked: "I wonder how much I need to donate for incense?"
"It depends on what you two want. I don't care about having too much, and I don't care about having too little." The old Taoist smiled and shook his head. Originally, the temple didn't rely on this to make money.
Xu Ran nodded, took out some change from his wallet, and asked Han Yi to put it in the incense cabinet.
Han Yike donated the incense and asked out of curiosity: "Hey, what does this note mean?"
"That depends on whether you believe it or not." The old Taoist smiled calmly after reading the note.
"You speak first."
"The sign you got is a good one, so naturally the couplet you get is a good one. The return of the top word in summer means that the career will grow, and the bottom word of morality and life means that people's inner world will be sublimated."
After hearing what the old Taoist said, it was not much different from what he thought, Xu Ran felt relieved immediately.
Han Yike suddenly nodded: "Oh, so..."
"But this pair of words may not be that simple." The old Taoist looked at Han Yike and took the initiative to reach out and touch her forehead, revealing his vague thoughts.
Seeing this, Xu Ran became curious and wanted to know what the old man in front of him could say because of these words.
"When doing things, you should pay attention to the right time, right place and right people. Since you are seeking a career, you will naturally follow this perfection. The antithetical words include the right place, right place and right people, but it lacks the right time. Some things mean that you cannot force it, but the time has not yet come.
, if you force it, be careful you end up with nothing."
Han Yike was stunned, seeming to understand but not understanding.
Xu Ran was puzzled: "Shouldn't the seasons be determined by the weather?"
"The four seasons are fixed in the sky, and the rotation is natural. This is the law, so the geography is favorable and the ground is solid and stable. But the sky is not necessarily the same." The old Taoist looked at Xu Ran with a smile, "It seems that you also understand these two words."
"Understand something."
"The most difficult thing to understand in the world is the sky and the human heart. The sky is ever-changing, and so are the human hearts." The old Taoist said to himself, "Since this girl is seeking a career, she should try her best to gain it. Don't be greedy for advancement and fear of retreat.
As long as you are steady, everything that is supposed to come will come back."
Han Yike blinked: "The so-called heavenly time, how can I get it?"
"This..." The old Taoist was stunned for a moment. This was the first time someone asked him this. After all, everyone else knew that Tianshi could only rely on waiting and guessing...
"What if I'm doing well and suddenly that thing called Tianshi messes up my career?" Han Yike asked seriously.
"When you come to the temple, you naturally want to ask God for help to make your heart peaceful. This also shows that you believe in the power of God. But if you two encounter difficulties in returning to life and God does not help you, this shows that God believes in your power."
The veteran also responded very seriously.
Good guy, this is so literate!
It seemed like he said something, it was quite charming, but it seemed like he didn't say anything at all.
As expected of a veteran who specializes in helping with visa interpretation, he cannot do this job without three years of fraud experience.
Han Yike stared, then turned to look at Xu Ran: "Xu Naitai, why do I think he is farting when he speaks?"
"Hey, you girl! Why are you talking!" The old Taoist got angry.
Xu Ran finally couldn't help laughing.
"What the hell." Han Yike put his hands on his hips, "Don't look at me like this, I'm so smart, you just want to trick me into donating more money. Besides, I grabbed this sign, not begged for it, you
Saying so much may not be suitable for me."
"What? What were you snatched away?" The old Taoist was stunned.
"Nothing, nothing..."
Xu Ran reacted and quickly pulled Han Yike to retreat outside.
The old man was left alone under the tree, messy in the wind.
Xu Ran laughed out loud from time to time on the road and touched Han Yike's head. I have to say that Han Yike was so cute.
Han Yike was still worried about being deceived by the old man: "Huh, that guy just wants to lie to me, I don't believe it."
"These things exist if you believe them, and if you don't believe them, they don't exist. You don't have to worry too much." Xu Ran took Han Yike's hand and said, "Come on, there is a small hill behind this temple. I will take you to climb it and take a look.
landscape."
"good."
The two of them were holding hands and seemed much happier after the signing. Although it was a farce, farce was an everyday occurrence in Han Yike's life.
When we arrived at the foot of the back mountain, we found that there was also a Taoist stall. When we went over to take a look, we found that it was selling locks.
The Taoist priest couldn't help but smile when he saw the two of them and asked: "You two, are you interested in buying a lock? If you buy it now, you can get free engraving..."
Before he finished speaking, Han Yike quickly shook his head: "No, no, don't try to defraud me of my money."
Then he quickly pulled Xu Ran up the mountain, leaving the Taoist in a daze.
There were not many tourists climbing the mountain. Taking into account Han Yike's physical condition, he stopped and walked along the way.
Han Yike was panting a little, and finally reached the mountainside. He touched his forehead and looked at the mountain road: "Why are there so many twists and turns on this road..."
"Although the mountain roads are winding and winding, they are all correct and lead to the top. It is normal to be tired."
Even at this time, Xu Ran was looking for opportunities to educate Han Yike.
Han Yike muttered something, as if saying something, but Xu Ran didn't hear it clearly.
He took out a water bottle from his pocket, wetted it with a tissue, and squatted down to wipe Han Yike's face.
Han Yike felt that his face was cool and not so sticky, and he felt a lot more comfortable immediately, showing a cute smile.
Xu Ran couldn't help but pinch her cheek, smiled at each other, and took steps up the mountain again.
Fortunately, the mountain is not high, otherwise it would be really difficult for Han Yike's physique.
After reaching the top of the mountain, Han Yi Ke came to the guardrail and looked outside. There was no particularly beautiful scenery outside, only high-rise buildings, which was a bit boring.
After all, at this height, it would be better to go up to the rooftop of the community and drink the northwest wind.
However, the feeling of climbing up step by step did make Han Yike feel a little fulfilled.
Suddenly she saw something and quickly waved to Xu Ran to come over.
It turns out that there is a place next to the guardrail on the top of the mountain that is surrounded by iron chains. This is not unusual, but at this time there are many locks hanging on the iron chains. Some are big and some are small, some are brand new and some are rusty, but one thing is the same.
That is, the lock has a name engraved on it, and it is not the same person.
Han Yike was very interested and leaned over to take a look and asked Xu Ran: "Xu Ran, why do you have to carve your name on the lock and put it here?"
"This is a concentric lock."
"Concentric lock?"
"When we went up the mountain, weren't there Taoist priests selling locks at the foot of the mountain? What they sold were Tongxin locks."
“What exactly does concentric lock mean?”
Xu Ran explained with a smile: "In ancient legends, Yuelao, who specializes in marriage, has a treasure called the Concentric Lock. As long as a man and woman in love are locked by the Concentric Lock, they will never be separated. If the lover's love can move Yuelao, he will
It will give lovers a lock of the same heart, so that the lovers will be of the same heart forever from birth to eternity."
Han Yike was surprised: "So powerful?"
"As the story is passed down, the concentric lock will naturally spread along with the story. Lovers who love each other, as long as they tie a concentric lock with the names of both parties in a place full of spiritual energy, they will be in love and love each other until they grow old. This is
A beautiful fable, a pious prayer, and an eternal promise."
"Those who love each other lock their hearts on the lock bridge, hoping to lock their lifelong love. The locks engrave their names on the locks, locking their two hearts tightly on the lock bridge, hoping that they will have a lifelong love.
I hope their love will last forever and use this concentric lock to witness their most loyal and sincere love."
Xu Ran touched Han Yike's head: "Some people say that legends are not trustworthy. Legends are just legends, and concentric locks are just people's wishes. But the key to these things is that if you believe them, they are there, and if they are not, they are nothing."
Han Yike had a strange expression after hearing this, and seemed to have a little regret, muttering to himself: "Damn it... I should have known..."
"What did you say?" Xu Ran didn't hear clearly.
"Oh, oh, it's nothing." Han Yike scratched his face in embarrassment.
After watching Tongxin Lock, Xu Ran took Han Yike to the pavilion to rest. Xu Ran thought that Han Yike would be tired and wanted to rest, but he didn't expect that she was restless and seemed to be thinking about other things.
But Xu Ran didn't bother her. After all, she might have climbed the mountain, or she might have other insights.
After staying at the top of the mountain for a while, the two of them went down the mountain.
After coming down the mountain and entering the palace, Han Yike suddenly decided something and took Xu Ran's arm.
"Xu Naitun, please wait for me, I need to go to the toilet."
Xu Ran didn't pay much attention and asked: "Do you know where the toilet is? How about I take you there."
"Go, go, go, I'm not a child!"
After saying that, Han Yike ran away at a trot.
Xu Ran found a place to sit down and rest.
He thought it would be a matter of time, but he didn't expect that Xu Ran had waited for almost 20 minutes and still didn't see Han Yike coming back. This made him a little worried, fearing that something would happen to Han Yike alone.
Just when Xu Ran was about to call Han Yike and look for her, Han Yike ran back panting and with a wet face.
"What took you so long to come back?"
"You can't go to the big one." Han Yike groaned and turned his head, looking a little shy and embarrassed.
"Why is your face so red? I don't even know how to use a tissue to check it after washing my face."
Saying that, Xu Ran took out the tissue again to wipe it.
Han Yike groaned and said nothing, but deliberately lowered his breathing to prevent himself from appearing too obvious.
After tidying up, Han Yike looked very happy, and she held Xu Ran's big hand.
"Let's go home~"
"Let's buy milk tea for Yiyi and the others on the way back later."
"I'll also have a soda later."
...
There is a pavilion on the top of the mountain and the sun is shining brightly.
A mother and her son happened to climb to the top of the mountain. The children were lively and did not feel tired after climbing up the mountain. They played around the top of the mountain.
Suddenly he caught a glimpse of the concentric lock of the iron chain and asked his mother curiously.
"Mom, what is this?"
"This is a concentric lock."
"Looks like this..." The child suddenly saw the very conspicuous new lock on the chain, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Mom, look, this lock is very new."
"Don't touch other people's locks and be polite."
"knew!"
The sun shines through the thin clouds and shines on the mountain peaks and the earth. The light reflects silver light on the concentric locks, making people's eyes dazzle.
The light, round and gently swaying halo reveals colorful colors.
After the mother leaves, the child can be locked on the top of the mountain, receiving sunlight, rain, dew, wind and frost, and experiencing layers of time and climate.
Even if the lock is rusty, people who come back to the top of the mountain can still see the names of two people from the concentric lock.
If Xu Ran were here at this time, he would definitely be able to recognize the two familiar names engraved on this brand new concentric lock.
【Han Yike丨Xu Dao Dao】
Han also doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas, but she is still willing to entrust her most sincere hopes to things she cannot grasp.
At that time, she believed it.
