Although Zhu Tousan of Yuelai Inn tricked Wang Hongxin, it was only a financial trick, and it did not hurt anyone's life. In the eyes of a monk like Zhang Yutang, it was considered harmless.
"Boss, check out!"
Zhang Yutang did not find out anything about Yanxia Mountain in Yuelai Inn. There was no estrangement in his heart, but he responded calmly. Yanxia Mountain contained the opportunity for his own enlightenment, and naturally it was not easy to get.
If it's easy to get, just take a look.
"Okay, sir, we need a total of ten silver coins!"
Zhu Tousan walked by with a smile on his face. As a businessman, Zhu Tousan naturally understood the principle of making money by being friendly and would never dare to do anything wrong just because he had a magic talisman.
Zhu Tousan understood very well that he was old and had missed the best time to practice. Being able to have such a magical talisman to protect his body and bless his life with peace was already a blessing accumulated by his ancestors.
Zhang Yutang handed over the broken silver and said calmly: "Please give me change!"
"alright!"
Zhu Tousan took the broken silver from Zhang Yutang's hand, weighed it in his hand, and said: "This broken silver can have one thousand silver coins. I want you to get 990 silver coins! You can stay here for a while."
Wait, I'll go to the house and give you change."
Zhang Yutang nodded: "Okay!"
Zhu Tousan walked inside and quickly walked out with a bag of change, handing it to Zhang Yutang: "Sir, please click and take a look to see if there is anything wrong."
The rich man is the master. Although Zhang Yutang is in rags, he is rich. Zhu Tousan did not dare to do anything to others, so he could only smile and support Zhang Yutang as his master.
What Zhu Tousan offered was not Zhang Yutang, but the money in Zhang Yutang's hands. Whoever has money is the master in front of Zhu Tousan.
Zhang Yutang scanned it with his spiritual consciousness and said calmly: "No need!"
He stood up and walked out.
"There is no news about Yanxia Mountain in Hongye Town, so we can only look for opportunities elsewhere."
"It's just that before I leave, I should be here to calm down the impetuousness in my heart."
For half a year, Zhang Yutang has been traveling all over the world on foot, secretly searching for the whereabouts of Yanxia Mountain. After a long search, there has been no news. Zhang Yutang can't help but feel a lot of impatience in his heart.
Such impetuousness is unacceptable. It can be fatal at critical moments.
Only by guarding against arrogance and impetuosity can we move forward on the road of spiritual practice.
All arrogance, extravagance and impetuosity will hardly lead to positive results.
We walked back to where we were when we first arrived. We squatted down and took out the ruins of the walls. The yard here was waist-deep in weeds and covered with spider webs. It must have been a long time since anyone came here.
"It's a quiet place to live here, and no one will disturb you during your leisure time."
With a flick of his sleeves, Zhang Yutang stepped on the weeds and walked towards the yard. Among the weeds, there was a path paved with bluestones, which seemed to have been buried by the weeds.
Follow the bluestone path and go straight to a main house.
The house was covered with a thick layer of dust, and the thick smell was a bit choking on the nose. Apparently no one had been here for a long time. Looking up, I saw densely covered spider webs in the corner.
A big black spider lay there quietly, spinning a web and waiting.
"During this period, I am no longer using spells, but living here as a mortal, taking a good rest."
Looking at the house full of dust, Zhang Yutang smiled lightly, stretched out his hand, found a rag, and began to clean it. The dust in the house was too heavy, so he wiped it off all at once. It was so black that he couldn't save it anymore.
Rub it a second time.
"There's too much dust. I need to find something to sweep it away."
After walking out of the house, Zhang Yutang looked around and found nothing. How to clean it?
"Yes!"
Looking at the weeds all over the yard, Zhang Yutang's eyes lit up. He walked over, pulled up many weeds with all his strength, and then piled them into a pile. The weeds were waist-deep and tied together, forming a natural broom.
After making the broom, Zhang Yutang walked into the house, waved the broom in his hand, and began to clean it in an orderly manner. Layers of dust were swept away, and the dust flew up and fell all over his body.
Zhang Yutang didn't care and just let the dust accumulate. But there was too much dust in the house. This sweep took almost half an hour to complete. After the sweep, the house was much cleaner, including dust, spider webs and the like.
, were all cleared out.
"As long as it is cleaned, it will be ready for people to live in."
After looking around the house, Zhang Yutang smiled happily: "It's not easy to live here like a mortal."
"You should find something to do to calm your mind, but what should you do?"
While I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw two people walking outside the yard. They were a man and a woman. The man was very young, and the woman was an old lady. Both of them were dressed in tatters, and they were obviously not wealthy.
Money family.
"Hey, isn't this Wang Hongxin?"
Zhang Yutang's eyes were very bright. At a glance, he saw that the young man supporting the old lady was actually Wang Hongxin, who was begging for wages at the Yuelai Inn. He smiled in his heart: "This is a leaf of duckweed returning to the sea. What is life like?"
We meet each other everywhere. We really have some fate with this guy. We actually met three times in one day. I don’t know what the relationship is between these two people and why they are here. Do you want to live here? "
"Both of you!"
Zhang Yutang walked out and looked at Wang Hongxin. The old man clasped his fists and said, "I'm Zhang Yutang, I've met you two!"
"Ah...it's you!"
Wang Hongxin was stunned. He didn't expect to meet Zhang Yutang in such a place. However, looking at the house that had obviously been cleaned, Wang Hongxin couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth: "You are also a rich man, why?
If you still don’t want to part with that little money, why do you live here?”
"Xin'er, don't be rude!"
The old lady was out of breath, wearing a dress full of pudding, and scolded Wang Hongxin: "How many times have I told you to be polite and gentle to others, and gentlemen, no matter how you say it, the ancestors of our Wang family are also scholars.
Secondly, how can you be so rude? What is the difference between you and that lowly person?"
"Mom, the child is wrong." Wang Hongxin is a filial son. When his mother was angry, he did not dare to talk back. He immediately admitted his mistake, clasped his fists at Zhang Yutang and said: "You are rude, I bumped into my husband, please forgive me."
Although Zhang Yutang does not practice Taoism, he has studied and practiced for many years. He has a scholarly aura and a natural aura that cannot be concealed. He naturally has a certain magnanimity in his words and deeds.
"This kid is not simple."
The old woman has also experienced the prosperous world of mortals. Although she is now in such a state of poverty, her old eyes have never dimmed and she can see people very accurately. She knows that Zhang Yutang is at least a scholar, so she naturally has some respect in her words.
"My child rarely studies, his words are rude, and his behavior is rude. Please forgive him, sir. Are you the master of this yard?"
Zhang Yutang shook his head and said with a smile: "The old woman is so polite. I am also a poor scholar. Because of the severe drought in the world, I can only travel far away from home. Today I saw that no one lives here and it has been deserted for a long time, so I decided to If you live here for a while, if you don't dislike the old woman and the little brother, you can live as neighbors, which is what Yutang hopes for."
The old woman thanked her and said, "Sorry for bothering you, I'll take my leave!"
When meeting people, you only speak 30% of your words, and leave 70% to rule the world. These people met each other at the beginning and didn't understand each other at all, so naturally they didn't have any unnecessary words.
The old woman led Wang Hongxin to another house in the yard.
Naturally, other houses are also full of dust and densely covered with spider webs. What's more, some walls are also extremely black from smoke. If it is good, this house should be the original kitchen.
"Mom, this house is too bad. I'll kick that poor scholar out and let's live in a big house." Wang Hongxin glanced at the house and felt very dissatisfied.
"You are sick and should live in a good house."
"Nonsense!"
The old woman lectured: "The sky is big and the earth is big, no bigger than a word. There is always a principle of first come, first served. Sir is a scholar and has no strength. If you use a few brute force to bully Sir, I don't want your son." "
When Wang Hongxin heard that his mother was angry, he panicked and knelt on the ground: "My child doesn't dare to do it anymore, mother, don't be angry!"
"Get up!"
The old woman said: "Xin'er, we are poor and have great ambitions. We must not do things that bully the weak and fear the strong, or be rogue. Even if we die, we must die in an upright and aboveboard way. We must not insult the Wang family lightly." Wind~"
"Yes, my child obeys."
Wang Hongxin stood up, helped the old lady find a place, wiped it clean with his sleeves, and asked the old lady to sit down: "Mother, please rest first while I go find tools to clean this place."
"Okay, go ahead and don't disturb sir."
The old woman nodded, sat down, her body trembled, she coughed violently, her face was a little pale: "Oh, this old problem has completely spent all the money at home, and the new baby is so big." He is a man, and he doesn’t even have the money to get a wife, and it’s all because of me that I delayed him.”
Wang Hongxin walked out of the house and pretended to look around. When his mother was not paying attention, he ducked and broke into Zhang Yutang's house.
"Scholar, I have something to do with you!"
Wang Hongxin looked at Zhang Yutang with a ferocious look, raised his fist like an iron bowl and waved it: "I, Wang Hongxin, am not a bully and shy of the strong!"
"oh."
Zhang Yutang smiled faintly and looked at Wang Hongxin: "Then why did you come to me? It's just that you should put down your fist. If you accidentally drop it, won't you injure your muscles and bones?"
"That's good!"
Wang Hongxin put down his fist and said: "I know you have some money, and you have also seen that my mother is sick and needs money for treatment, but the little money I have is not enough. You can borrow your money." Give it to me, and when I have the money, I will pay it back to you." (To be continued...)
