Liaozhai Great Sage

The blind Taoist stroked his beard and smiled, pointing to the woman's clothes on the mandrill's body, and said: "This mandrill is trying to confuse you. It steps on trees to grow taller, and it wears women's clothes. It's an illusion. When outsiders see it, they will think It is a beautiful woman in the mountains, it cannot bear to be hurt, and it will never be regarded as a spirit, but this mandrill is confused, and it is ridiculous to use illusions in front of you. With your eyes, which spirit in the world can confuse you, Even if the thousand-year-old monster has cultivated into a human body, it won't be able to hide it from you."

"So that's the case." Li Xiuyuan touched his nose, feeling that the mandrill was not here to die, but was using illusion to confuse himself.

But my cheap master has already said that I have an exquisite heart, and I am not afraid of all Taoism and magic in the world, and it is easy to see through illusions.

"The eldest young master is so brave that he actually killed the mandrill."

"This is a mandrill, so ugly."

"Look, this mandrill is still a male, it's a lot of work for the crotch."

An idler fiddled with the mandrill between the legs with a wooden stick, causing the woman nearby to spit again and again.

The blind Taoist shook his head and said braggingly: "What is this, the poor Taoist is better than a few points, even the poor Taoist disciple is also..."

"How about it?"

The nearby villagers all looked at the blind Taoist, and even the nearby women pricked up their ears, wanting to listen.

The blind Taoist laughed and saw Li Xiuyuan's face darken, and immediately changed his words; "Don't tell, don't tell, the secrets of heaven must not be leaked. Since this mandrill is dead, the poor Taoist can rest assured. Besides, the mandrill's corpse should not stay for long, it needs to be ignited." Burn it, so as not to cause any trouble again."

"What the Taoist priest said is very true."

Several villagers were also cheerful, and immediately cut down dead trees nearby, put them on the mandrill's body, and set them on fire.

After burning the body of the mandrill, Li Xiuyuan asked the villagers to disperse and return to their homes.

"Do you remember that the master said before that it is impossible for spirits to appear near Guobei County? This mandrill has been around for some years, and it has become a spirit at least ten years ago." Walking on the road, Li Xiuyuan asked curiously.

"My teacher said this. On the day you were born, the purple energy came thirty thousand miles eastward, mighty and mighty. When you were swept away by your purple energy, all the ghosts and ghosts around Guobei County were killed. The purging, even for the teacher, I feel very happy after seeing it."

The blind Taoist said, but then shook his head slightly and said: "But the world is so big, and there are so many demons and ghosts. I'm afraid this mandrill became a spirit after you were born, or it may have wandered from other places."

"There is a way that when a country is about to perish, there must be evildoers, and the world will be in chaos."

Hearing this, Li Xiuyuan's heart trembled. He thought of the scenes in Liao Zhai's movies, where monsters make chaos, corrupt officials are rampant, military disasters and natural disasters, people's lives are like nothing, it is indeed a chaotic world.

The blind Taoist immediately laughed again: "You went up the mountain today, not only killed a mandrill, experienced a lot, but also earned a marriage."

"Marriage?" Li Xiuyuan thought for a while, then asked in surprise, "Widow Du?"

Chapter 6 Origami Crane

"Of course." The blind Taoist stroked his beard and smiled.

"I just didn't want her to be harmed by the mandrill, so I rescued her. There is no other meaning." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Marriage is like this. Unintentional just made things happen. It's just that you didn't find out. Before becoming a teacher, I wanted to calculate the life and death of Widow Du, but I couldn't. What does this mean, apprentice? You know." The blind man smiled.

Of course, Li Xiuyuan knew that he was born with seven apertures and exquisite heart, and no one could calculate his own destiny. If he forced it, he would be punished by heaven. Once the marriage is established, her fate will be linked with her own, so naturally it cannot be predicted.

"Maybe it's because you miscalculated, Master." He still didn't quite believe that Widow Du had married him.

The blind man said: "Since you don't believe in the teacher's arithmetic, let me ask you, the teacher, when you rescued Widow Du, did you ever molest her?"

"I couldn't help but say something when I was carrying her." Li Xiuyuan said with some embarrassment.

The blind Taoist looked at him with a half-smile and said: "That's right, that's it, marriage and marriage are a cause and effect in the end, and your opening of your mouth is the cause, so how did Widow Du respond to you?"

"It seems that he just answered and didn't say anything." Li Xiuyuan said awkwardly.

"That's right, she is a widow, and she always pays attention to her reputation. Not only is she not angry when she is molested by you, but she agrees, that is, she acquiesces to your molestation, and this is the reason." The blind man said.

"Cause and effect, what about fruit?"

The blind Taoist laughed and said: "Don't worry, my disciple. The cause and effect will follow later. Guess Du Widow must have shown you her heart when she was on the way. Maybe it's just a trivial gesture."

"She wiped my sweat for me." Li Xiuyuan remembered.

"That's right again. Widow Du wiped your sweat for you. She would only do this if she treated you as her own man. You must have not refused at that time."

"I didn't think about it that much." Li Xiuyuan said.

The blind Taoist nodded: "If you don't refuse, you accept it. Widow Du naturally thinks that you acquiesced in letting her wipe your sweat. In this way, isn't it because you love me? How can this marriage be considered a success?"

"I'll go and explain to Widow Du." Li Xiuyuan stopped immediately, turning around to go back.

However, just as he turned around, the sky that was originally full of sunset glow was immediately covered with dark clouds, and bursts of thunder sounded.

The blind Taoist pulled a few of his beards out of fear, and hurriedly said, "Disciple, you will be punished by the gods if you turn around as a teacher. At that time, God will definitely think that being a teacher broke your marriage and ruined you." What a great cause and effect is this marriage, it is enough to die several times for the teacher."

He now has the urge to slap his mouth. He has long known that this disciple of his is a seven-apertured exquisite heart, a natural saint, and he should not leak the secrets to him at will. When things go wrong, all karma will be attributed to him on the head.

Li Xiuyuan stopped walking and looked up at the suddenly changing sky: "It's not that evil."

"What do you think?" The blind man jumped anxiously.

"Forget it, let it go with the flow."

Li Xiuyuan gave up his plan to go back to Xiahe Village again, he didn't want his cheap master to be struck to death by lightning.

At this time, the cloudy sky quickly returned to clear.

"Scared to death as a teacher." The blind Taoist was slightly relieved.

Li Xiuyuan looked at the blind Taoist, showing that you are really weak.

"The Taoism of being a teacher is by no means as weak as you think, it's just that no one who cultivates Dao would dare to touch this thing." The blind Taoist seemed to understand Li Xiuyuan's expression, and argued.

"Can paper cranes send messages?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

"This is done with a raised hand." The blind Taoist immediately said confidently.

"Fly one."

Li Xiuyuan picked a leaf from the side and handed it over with a provocative look.

The blind Taoist laughed, "Being a teacher today will open your eyes..." He rolled up his Taoist robe, ready to show off his skills, but his smile froze when he took the leaf.

"Your disciple's mind is not pure." He threw the leaf away, sighed and said, "No Taoism will work as a teacher by your side."

"Excuses." Li Xiuyuan said.

"People who practice the Tao never lie." The blind Taoist said.

"Since the Taoism is not effective, there must be a master of the realm. Don't you know that the master has overcome the catastrophe?"

"Well, it's still far from being a teacher. The patriarch has risen through tribulations. To be a teacher, he should follow the example of the patriarch and practice diligently." The corner of the blind Taoist's mouth twitched.
