The breeze blew slowly through the mountain peaks. In a deep mountain forest, a 13-year-old boy followed an old man carrying a basket and walked through the vast mountain forest. The boy was delicate and handsome, the old man was fairy-like, and the boy was jumping around.
Very lively, the old man looked left and right, as if he was really looking for something.
"Grandpa, grandpa, come quickly, is there Ganoderma lucidum here?" the child shouted.
"Come on, come on." The old man came over after hearing the news.
Seeing the thing in the boy's hand, the grandfather smiled and said, "What kind of Ganoderma is this? It's a long-deformed mushroom. Pick it off and take it back to eat." The young man was a little disappointed and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa, what exactly is Ganoderma?"
What kind is it?" Grandpa said with a smile, "Ganoderma lucidum is as tall as seventy-seven and grows on the rocks. There are stripes on the rhizomes and they are dazzling. Among them, the fleshy mushroom is the most beautiful.
It is so precious that it is said that this is where the auspicious beast Qilin came from. Some grass was contaminated with Qilin's auspicious aura and grew into Ganoderma lucidum! There are also rumors that there is a fairy medicine in this world, and mortals can become immortals in the daytime after taking it, and even worse.
, but the living dead, flesh and white bones, but these are just rumors, no one knows whether they exist or not!" Grandpa kept talking, and the young man was also fascinated by it.
After a while, the young man said, "When I grow up, I will go far, far away to pick fairy medicine for you to eat every day, so that you can become an old fairy."
The old man used to be a teacher, teaching knowledge to the children of poor families from all over the country. He never asked for compensation, which can be regarded as accumulating some merit.
Even if the old man later made a living by collecting medicines, if he met someone who couldn't pay, he would give them to him for free, saying "do good deeds".
The old man also often teaches young people to behave, to be good people, to distinguish between right and wrong, and to understand the mystery of true and false.
Rumor has it that there are immortals in the world who are so high up in the world that they can turn the world upside down and mountains and rivers collapse. But for mortals, maybe the immortals who are so high above are just a yearning after all. Maybe it is difficult for immortals to understand the worldly things, but how can mortals know the suffering of the immortals?
!
Fierce Territory, the far east of Dongzhou, Nameless City, North Trail, an old man and a young man collecting herbs are walking on the road.
"Grandpa, I will become a person like you in the future and be respected by others." The young man was very happy.
The old man smiled happily and said, "Son, do you know why I am respected by others?"
"Because grandpa has done good things?" The young man was puzzled. "
That's because I have done good deeds that are useful to others. I naturally have my own measure of good and evil. My child, do you know what good and evil are?"
The young man replied, "Doing things that are useful to others, like grandpa, is a good deed, and doing things that are harmful to others is an evil deed." "Is there anything else?" the old man asked.
The young man replied, "If you have a clear conscience, you are kind." The old man had a look of satisfaction on his face.
"Child, you need to know that each of us has a scale in our heart about good and evil. Everyone has his or her own understanding of good and evil. There is never absolute good or absolute evil in the world. Good and evil lie in the human heart.
!”
An old man and a young man just walked in the mountains talking to each other. It seemed so harmonious. Perhaps for ordinary people, a few decades is a lifetime. Most people in the world want to live forever, so they place their hopes on
The illusory "immortal", but why do the so-called immortals put "ants" in their eyes?"
As he walked, maybe the old man felt tired, so he put down the medicine basket and sat on a big stone by the roadside to rest. He looked at the distance for a while, muttered something silently in his mouth, and looked at the young man again. He didn't know what he was thinking.
What are you wearing?
The boy also rested for a while and then stood up and ran to play somewhere else. This is the age when he is very active, and the boy was no exception. He climbed to the fruit tree next to him and found a stream. He rolled up his trouser legs and went to play.
He looked very lively after jumping down.
After a while, the boy seemed to remember something, so he ran out of the river and sat down next to his grandfather.
"Grandpa, when I came out in the morning, Aunt Chen told me that grandpa must come to her house in the evening," the young man said.
The old man seemed to have thought of something, his face changed slightly, and soon returned to normal. He turned his head and said to the young man, "I'll go there after dinner."
Although the old man is old, his body is very strong. The mountain road of more than 20 miles has reached the end in less than two hours. From a distance, he can already see the tall city gate and the tall and tall people on the city wall.
Soldier.
When he got home, the old man put the medicinal materials on the medicine shelf to dry. As soon as he put them away, he heard the young man's voice, "Grandpa, it's time to eat. Today I made your favorite braised rabbit meat. Come and eat it!"
After a while, the old man walked to the table to eat, but for some reason, tears flowed from his eyes. He looked at the young man and said slowly, "Mo Chu! You must be strong, you know? No matter what difficulties you encounter, you will always be strong."
Don’t back down, you know?”
Mo Chu nodded obediently. Although he didn't understand what grandpa said, he would definitely listen to him.
For Mo Chu, his grandfather has been his only relative since he can remember. As for his parents, every time Mo Chu asked his grandfather, "Who are my parents? Why do other children have parents, but I don't?"
Grandpa's answer was always "You will know later!" As he grew older, Mo Chu never asked this question. He knew that his grandpa would tell him when he grew up.
Time passed and the old man went to keep his appointment. The night was so quiet that it made people feel depressed.
"Everyone is here," a middle-aged man in elegant clothes said slowly in the room.
At this time, the room was full of people, of varying wealth and status, but all of them looked serious.
"Not enough sir." I don't know who said it, and everyone in the room looked full of respect when he was mentioned.
After a while, the door rang, and everyone looked towards the door. An old man with an immortal spirit slowly walked in and sat on the front seat. It was the old man who collected herbs.
"Are you really going to do this?" It was the middle-aged man who spoke first. The old man nodded slowly.
"Isn't this too cruel? After all..." Aunt Chen hesitated.
After an unknown amount of time, the sounds in the room gradually disappeared.
"Are you that confident? This can indeed buy you a lot of time, but..."
"Because it's him, and since he can give birth to that thing, then this is his fate,"
"We will take good care of him for the next few years."
The old man slowly stood up and left. After the old man left, the big man
The expressions on everyone's faces were full of seriousness.
"Because it's him, I have confidence in him." The old man said again.
"And don't let Mo Chu know about tonight's events."
Everyone nodded.
The old man returned to the house. At this time, Mo Chu had already fallen asleep. The old man walked in gently, looked at Mo Chu quietly, and gently stroked Mo Chu's cheek with his hand, "I'm sorry for you." The old man got up and went back to rest.
Speechless all night
The air in the morning was as fresh as ever. The old man got up very early, and soon Mo Chu also got up, bleary-eyed.
Seeing Mo Chu get up, the old man looked at Mo Chu and said, "I won't go collecting medicine today. Grandpa will give you something."
After that, he took out a wooden box from under the bed, handed it to Mo Chu, and then said, "Promise grandpa, I won't open it until I'm 18."
Mo Chu wondered, "Why do you have to be 18?" His voice was full of doubts.
The old man said, "You will know the day you open it." The voice was filled with sadness for some reason. Mo Chu nodded, because he knew that it would be useless to ask what Grandpa didn't want to say.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you today? Are you sick?" Mo Chu asked.
The old man nodded, "You caught a cold last night, don't worry about me."
Then grandpa took out a few books from the bookshelf that were older than Mo Chu. They included pharmacopoeia, swordsmanship, and books about the way of being a human being. There were also some other books, but most of the words on them were incomprehensible.
.
"Grandpa, apart from the pharmacopoeia, martial arts, and humane books, I can't understand the rest of these books!"
The old man said, "You will understand it in the future. When you can understand these books, you must do more good deeds!"
"If you understand, do you have to do more good deeds?" The old man nodded, "You will know the reason later."
On this day, the old man told Mo Chu a lot. Some things Mo Chu could understand, but some things Mo Chu couldn't understand. Grandpa, you will understand what he said again.
Time passed and the sun set in the west. There was no moon in the sky tonight, not even a few stars could be seen, and the air was filled with a chilling atmosphere.
With a bang, the door of the courtyard was broken open by a group of people. Mo Chu woke up and ran into the courtyard. Grandpa also ran out, and saw a group of masked men rushing in, surrounding them.
"Old guy, I finally found you. Where can I hand over the things?" the masked man led by said.
"I don't know what you are talking about. There are only two of us here. Please be kind and let us go!" the old man begged.
"No, you said there isn't, so there isn't? Search for me." Then I saw several people rushing into the room, and then there was the sound of smashing things. Mo Chu was held tightly in his arms by his grandfather.
"Not found" Several men in black came back to resume their duties.
"Huh, no, it's okay." Since I can't find it here, you, old guy, can't escape the problem, and besides, we have to go back to recover, right?" the leader said to the old man. Then he walked up to the old man.
