Emperor Shentongjian

Chapter 1055 Listening to Life
At night, Zheng Mo led two villagers to find Ming Xin in a hurry, "Master Ming, two more red dots appeared."

Mingxin looked at the red spot on the faces of the two villagers, and removed it, "Is it new today? Has anything unusual happened recently?"

The two villagers didn't dare to slack off, and told all the big and small things, Mingxin listened carefully, a figure flashed in the corner of my eyes, looked through the window, it was a little girl who often came to the store to sell medicines, this little girl was cold Face walked through the courtyard, as if going to the backyard wing.

He asked casually, "Is that little girl living here?"

Zheng Mo also looked out, and explained, "This little girl is from the Li family in Tianshui City. Because she was born with poor aptitude and could not practice Taoism, she was sent here when she was a baby. In order to be an apprentice, she has been living in the backyard, do you know her?"

"I've seen it a few times, so it turns out that the small Taoist temple in the east refers to this place." Ming Xin is an innate holy spirit, naturally indifferent, so he stopped paying attention after asking.

After a while, Zhan Changfeng, who was checking the situation outside, came back. This time, the curse was also strange, and no suspicious source could be found anywhere. There was no strange place, and no signs of evil cultivators, as if it appeared out of thin air.

She shrouded the village with her spiritual consciousness and planned to watch quietly for a few days.

In the middle of the night, the window of her house was smashed by a pebble. In her consciousness, she was a little girl with unruly and evil eyes. When she opened the window, she ran away again.

Zhan Changfeng walked into the courtyard, but he didn't chase after him. Instead, he walked to the dimly lit hall. There were little Taoist priests leaning against the pillars to watch the night, nodding their heads. All of them looked solemn, with their eyes half closed. Glaring eyes, all of them.

In the blink of an eye, there was a ray of morning light in the sky, Li Xiangxiang jumped up the steps holding the wooden sword, entered the main hall, and suddenly saw Zhan Changfeng standing upright, standing stiffly, wondering, "Mr. Feng, why are you here? Are you here for incense?"

Zhan Changfeng looked indifferent as usual, "Just take a look."

Li Xiangxiang smiled shyly, and every time he heard Mr. Feng's voice, he felt that the warmth seemed to be engraved with a meaningful charm, which was so nice.

"I'm doing morning class, Mr. Feng is free." She moved out a futon from a side corner, sat in front of the hall, and recited the scriptures. In the distance, there was a bell, and the door of the Taoist temple was wide open. A group of people who had been waiting for a while The villagers walked in quietly, some chanted scriptures like Li Xiangxiang, some practiced boxing and swords, and exercised their bodies.

When the sun fully jumped into the sky, some people left to do farm work, and some people were in the courtyard, corridor, enjoying the shade, playing chess, and discussing Taoism. They were obviously mortals, but they lived out a carefree attitude.

Li Xiangxiang put away the futon, and was going to find her master to go to the mountains to dig spiritual grass. She had to rely on picking herbs to exchange for the medicinal materials she needed for her medicinal baths every day. Thinking of this, she became excited and searched for Zhan Changfeng's figure everywhere. Then I saw her playing chess with an old man under a tree. The chess board was drawn on the ground with branches, and she picked up small stones as chess pieces.

She felt that she couldn't disturb the chess players, and while hesitating, she saw Ming Xin walking by and hurriedly chased after her, "Brother Ming, is the door open today?"

People who have mastered professional skills are usually called "Mr." to show respect, and "Little Brother" is purely because they are regarded as buddies. There are too many, so I learned the title from shopkeeper Chen.

"Don't open the door." Ming Xin's eyes narrowed slightly. Naturally, he wouldn't blame the seven or eight-year-old girl because of a title, but he didn't meet this girl a few times, and he didn't think so before, adding yesterday's On that side, why do I feel that she is a bit weird, yesterday's she doesn't seem to be so ignorant of the world today.

Seeing that she was at a loss, Mingxin said proactively, "I have the medicinal materials you want here, and you can come and get them anytime."

Li Xiangxiang smiled happily, thanked him, and left in peace.

Having no idea about the curse, Mingxin came to Zhan Changfeng and said, "Teacher, I will visit every household and give the villagers a free clinic."

"Alright, you can figure it out."

Zhan Changfeng put a stone and blocked the opponent's way. The eighty-year-old man was so anxious that his hands trembled. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't find a way to reverse the defeat, so he surrendered.

She smiled calmly, "You have to pay the bet."

"What?" The eighty-year-old man put his hand next to his ear, "I can't hear what you said! My wife told me to go home for dinner, let's go."

The old man stood up, held his cane, and ran away briskly.

Zhan Changfeng rubbed the center of his brows, and a middle-aged man sat opposite him.

The middle-aged man said honestly, "I'll play a game with you."

"Please."

In less than a moment, the middle-aged man conceded defeat. He pondered for a while, and said, "I am forty-five, and the most important truth I have learned in my life is called 'Praise one's strengths and avoid weaknesses'. Others can also praise and learn from their small strengths. At the same time, develop your strengths and avoid your weaknesses."

Zhan Changfeng nodded, "Okay."

This is her agreement to play chess with them, whoever loses will say a truth that will affect her life.

Everyone also found it interesting, and came to play chess with her one by one, there were six-year-old children, and there were also elderly people in their nineties, but they all lost the game, obediently telling their summary of their lives.

Zhan Changfeng has never been in contact since he was a child. This is the first time he listens to the truth in the hearts of ordinary people. He seems to be a little closer to them, and he seems to see the wisdom of life.In fact, these principles are very simple in her eyes, if anyone with a higher status and cultivation level came to her and said it, she would not pay her attention.

But they are mortal.An exaggerated metaphor, like hearing a person who thought he was stupid explaining the Fa to himself, surprised and delighted?
She did not look down on mortals, building houses, farming and weaving, building dams to store rain, founding laws and compiling scriptures. The wisdom of mortals has been shining in the long river of history. She is also a mortal herself, but her former crown prince status made her It felt like the masses were at their disposal, and it still is.

In other words, although in her heart, all things are equal, this is a cold conclusion after examining the essence of life, and then she respects any life because of equality. For her, these people are actually passive roles, and they may even be placed on the chessboard. She doesn't have the qualifications, and because of this, she resists becoming this kind of person, and feels anxious if she lives like this for a while.

After Zhan Changfeng discovered this, she felt that there was such a big hole in her mood. In the essence of life, she regarded everything as one, but in terms of style, she always looked down on those who were inferior to her, and never put herself on an equal footing with them .

As in: I respect you, but I can never bear to be you.

She is afraid of this kind of unchanging ordinary with no room for advancement.

When she really calmed down and listened to their reasoning, this fear was gradually healed, and the "Tao" brought their hearts closer, and she began to truly recognize their way of existence and way of life, no matter in the essence of life or in personality. , trying to put them on an equal footing with themselves.

She seemed to hear the voice of life.
A shout followed, interrupting her vague feeling.

A villager broke in and shouted, "It's sick!"
