"Of course." The blind Taoist smiled and stroked his beard.
"I just didn't want her to be harmed by the mandrill, so I came to save her. I had no other intention." Li Xiuyuan said.
"Marriage is like this. It happens without intention. It's just that you didn't find it. Before I became a teacher, I wanted to calculate it with my fingers. I wanted to calculate Widow Du's life and death, but I couldn't. What does this mean? Disciple, you should
You know." The blind Taoist laughed.
Of course, Li Xiuyuan knew that he was born with an exquisite heart and no one could predict his destiny. If he tried to calculate it, he would be punished by God. Likewise, if Widow Du was really destined to marry him, her fate would not be calculated, because once
Once the marriage was established, her fate was connected with his own, and naturally it was impossible to predict.
"Maybe Master, you may have made a mistake in your calculation." He still didn't quite believe that Widow Du was destined to marry him.
The blind Taoist said: "Since you don't believe in my arithmetic, I would like to ask you, did you ever tease Widow Du when you rescued her?"
"I couldn't help but say something when I was carrying her on my back." Li Xiuyuan said a little embarrassed.
The blind Taoist looked at him with a half-smile but said, "That's right, that's it. In the final analysis, marriage is a cause and effect. Your opening is the cause. Then how did Widow Du return your favor?"
"It seems like he just responded without saying anything." Li Xiuyuan said awkwardly.
"That's right, she is a widow and has always cared about her reputation. Instead of being angry when she was teased by you, she responded and acquiesced to your teasing. That's why." said the blind Taoist.
"Cause causes cause, what about the effect?"
The blind Taoist chuckled and said: "Don't worry, my disciple. The cause has happened, and the effect will naturally follow. I guess Widow Du must have expressed her feelings to you when she was on the road, maybe it was just a small and insignificant gesture."
"She wiped my sweat for me." Li Xiuyuan remembered.
"That's right again. Widow Du wiped your sweat. She would only do this if she regarded you as her own man. You must have not refused at that time."
"I didn't think too much about it," Li Xiuyuan said.
The blind Taoist nodded: "If you don't refuse, you just accept it. Widow Du naturally thinks that you tacitly agree to let her wipe her sweat. In this case, doesn't it mean that you are in love with me? How can this marriage not be considered completed?"
"I'll go explain to Widow Du." Li Xiuyuan immediately stopped and turned around to go back.
However, just when he turned around, the sky that was originally full of sunset was immediately covered with dark clouds, and bursts of thunder sounded.
The blind Taoist was so frightened that he pulled out a few strands of his beard and said, "Disciple, you will be punished by God if you become a teacher. When the time comes, God will definitely think that being a teacher has ruined your marriage and ruined you."
What a huge cause and effect this marriage has, it is enough to make you die for your master several times."
He now has the urge to slap him. He has long known that his disciple has a delicate heart with seven orifices and is a born saint. He cannot reveal the secrets to him at will. When things go wrong, all the cause and effect will be attributed to him.
On the head.
Li Xiuyuan stopped and looked up at the suddenly changing sky: "It's not that evil."
"What do you think?" The blind Taoist jumped anxiously.
"Forget it, let's just let nature take its course."
Li Xiuyuan gave up his plan to return to Xiahe Village again. He didn't want his cheap master to be struck to death by lightning.
At this time, the dark clouded sky quickly became clear again.
"I'm scared to death, Master." The blind Taoist breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the blind Taoist with an expression that said, "You are really weak."
"My master's Taoism is by no means as weak as you think. It's just that no Taoist would dare to touch the divine punishment." The blind Taoist seemed to understand Li Xiuyuan's expression and defended.
"Can paper cranes convey messages?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
"This can be done with a show of hands." The blind Taoist immediately said confidently.
"Fly one."
Li Xiuyuan picked a leaf from the side and handed it over, showing a provocative look.
The blind Taoist laughed: "Today I will open your eyes as a teacher..." He lifted up his Taoist robe and prepared to show off his skills, but his smile froze when he took the leaf.
"Your disciple has an impure mind." He immediately threw away the leaves and sighed: "No Taoist skills will work for me as a teacher by your side."
"Excuse." Li Xiuyuan said.
"Those who practice Taoism never lie," said the blind Taoist.
"Since Taoism doesn't work, then there must be a realm master. Don't you know that the master has survived the heavenly tribulation?"
"Well, this being a teacher is still far from enough. Even though the Patriarch has transcended tribulations and ascended to heaven, a teacher must follow the Patriarch's example and practice diligently." The blind Taoist twitched the corner of his mouth.
"It's time to have a Nascent Soul."
"It's coming, it's coming." The blind Taoist's voice became much softer.
"The golden elixir should finally be ready."
The blind Taoist was completely silent. After a while, he smiled and said: "Let's talk about the paper crane message transmission before. When it comes to the paper crane message transmission, there is something special about it. Although this Taoist art is called the paper crane message transmission
, but in fact paper can also be used, and leaves can also be used. It does not have to be paper. Well, you are very enlightened about this, and you know how to get a leaf. But the problem is, if you don’t have paper with you,
There are no leaves, so how to use it..."
Li Xiuyuan looked at him with a strange expression.
Because it was a little late, he did not go back to Guobei County, but chose to rest one more night in the gymnasium on the hill.
In ancient times, everything was dark once the sun went down, and there were still many roads between Guobei County and Xiahe Village. Without vehicles, people had to walk on their legs, which led to the ordinary people here.
Something will definitely happen several hours in advance. If it's afternoon, then you can only wait until the next day, so there is a saying that you work at sunrise and rest at sunset.
I go to bed as soon as the sun goes down. You can imagine how early you go to bed.
Just when Li Xiuyuan turned back to the monastery, several women from the same village gathered in a private house in Xiahe Village.
After Aunt Wang helped Widow Du home, she did not leave in a hurry. She helped her apply bruise medicine, massage the wound, and mobilize the congestion.
"Tsk tsk, girl, your skin is so white, your face is white, your body is white, and your legs are white. No wonder the young master is reluctant to let you walk and carries you all the way back." Aunt Wang rubbed Widow Du.
The injured leg chuckled.
Widow Du's face turned slightly red: "I hurt my leg and can't walk. The young master had no choice but to carry me back. It's not what you think."
"I said, Mrs. Du, what you said is wrong. Look at the way you came back. Your whole body was pressed against the eldest young master, and you couldn't bear to leave. We all saw it."
"Isn't that right? When I came back, I was still wrapped in the eldest young master's clothes. Look at the material of the clothes. It's high-quality silk and it's slippery to the touch. I think the eldest young master not only stabbed the mandrill to death this time, but also estimated that
It’s okay for you to understand everything.”
"Don't talk nonsense. The eldest young master and I are innocent and nothing happened." Widow Du said with a red face and some embarrassment: "How can you slander someone's innocence? If it gets to the eldest young master's ears, it will be added later."
Don’t blame me for your taxes and taking away your fields.”
Aunt Wang also kicked the woman and glared at her: "If you can't speak human words, don't talk here. Don't talk about dirty things."
The woman immediately smiled and stopped talking.
Aunt Wang added: "My sister has been married to Xiahe Village for five years."
"Five and a half years ago," Widow Du replied.
Aunt Wang sighed and said: "You are also a miserable person. Just one year after you got married, your father-in-law and mother-in-law passed away one after another. In the second year, your man went out to work, saying he wanted to make wealth, but within a year, the government officials
The news of your man's death came, but then again, you have neither an old man to serve nor a child to raise, so you are in a comfortable situation, but this is not a solution. You can't keep guarding the Du family.
One-third of an acre of land, you are still young and have a long time to live, so you have to make plans for the future."
"Auntie, I won't be careless today. I see that the eldest young master is interested in you. I think if you follow the eldest young master, you can enjoy a few years of happiness."
Widow Du suddenly blushed again and did not dare to say anything.
