Old Fogey Goes Down The Mountain

Chapter 5 The first step of materialism to superstition

The security captain at the exit of the scenic spot was furious at Wei Xi's words before he left, and he was in a bad mood.

However, Wei Xi was taken away early by that seemingly wealthy couple. He didn't dare to catch up and make trouble, but he couldn't swallow this breath, so he could only vent his anger on his subordinates and other passengers, scolding viciously Those who wear ordinary clothes, because they don't come out often and don't understand the way of swiping tickets in scenic spots, slow down the progress of the gate.

The little security guard didn't dare to go forward after being scolded after several times of persuasion. He could only listen to his leader's reprimand resounding loudly in his ears.

After a while, the tourists at one of the exits were crowded again. He went up to check and found that two young men couldn't find the ticket.

The clothes of both of them were very dirty and torn, as if they had rolled on the ground a few times and then tore them frantically. Although they were not as strange as the young man in Taoist robes just now, they were not far behind in their despondency. There are still wounds on the face.

They both looked a little irritable, and they accused each other while taking out their pockets. The one in white said, "Damn it, it's all you. It must have been lost during the fight on Yingzui Peak."

The one in the green clothes replied: "My ticket is gone, too, not to mention that if you hadn't been so mean at the time, we wouldn't have been able to fight."

The little security guard was at a loss when he heard this, and just as he was about to step forward to ask, he saw his leader walking over quickly. Seeing their distressed appearance, his expression immediately became very impatient: "Why are you two blocking this place? What about the ticket?" ? Take out the ticket."

The two replied: "The ticket is lost."

"Damn it." The security captain yelled as soon as he heard it, "Everyone said today that they lost their tickets, stop talking nonsense, and come over and pay me the fine!"

Of course, the two of them refused, and they discussed it at first, saying that they could use their ID cards to enter the system to check the ticket purchase records.It's a pity that the security captain originally wanted to find out the punching bag. Seeing that the two of them seemed easy to bully, of course he refused.

Unexpectedly, these two people were dressed in rags, but their tempers were very arrogant. Seeing that the security guard was not only making things difficult on purpose, he also greeted his parents.

After all, they were two grown men, and even if the security captain was unreasonable when they got angry, they would still be terrified.Holding the anti-riot baton, he insisted on fighting with the two of them evenly. When the colleagues called by the little security guard finally separated, both sides were too injured to stand up.

This is not over yet. After entering the hospital, the security captain was asked to invite family members to accompany him. After much deliberation, he had to call his wife who had already returned to her natal home.The wife did come, but she also brought a large group of relatives, all of whom came to support the divorce of their children whose noses and faces were swollen by their husbands.

The security captain was terribly shocked, and couldn't figure out why his wife, who had been beaten for decades and had been submissive, was suddenly so tough this time.

He was angry, anxious and hurt, and wanted his son who came with him to persuade his mother not to be confused, but his son who had just graduated from college came up and punched him again, the hatred in his eyes was so strong that he felt chills all over his body.

"You don't know? I personally persuaded her to divorce you! My mother endured you for so many years, and now I can finally make money to support her. Just wait, you scum, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, The days to come will be long!"

The sound of scolding, crying, fists and kicks in the ward was shocking, and the security guards in other scenic spots who sent the leader to the hospital stood at the door and looked at each other, listening to all kinds of gossip from colleagues. The little security guard who was involved was suddenly taken aback.

He thought of the young man in a tattered Taoist robe at the gate of the foreground area for a few hours, and the expressionless but categorical sentence he said when the other party left, "You want your wife and children to be separated, you are in bad luck."

The little security guard's heart skipped a beat and he shivered.

Isn't it so evil?Is that man really a master of good fortune?Then the Taicang sect he was talking about at the time is probably really a very powerful and famous sect!

***

At the same time, a Cayenne without side rear lights is speeding on the road.

Lin Hanyang glanced at his wife after finishing the work on the mobile phone, and saw that the other party was still fiddling with the rag, and immediately frowned in disgust: "Okay, it's dirty, look at the mud on it and the dust on it. , you are not in good health, you don’t know how many bacteria are on it, so throw it away quickly.”

The wife was still angry, of course she didn't listen, and she gave him an angry look: "What do you know, if you didn't make trouble just now, I would have invited the master home. Maybe he can really solve our current situation. ?”

"One you, one my mother, tell me what to say." Lin Hanyang was very helpless, "You women, you like to believe in ghosts and gods. How can there really be any masters in this world? Let's just say there are, but you Looking at his desolate appearance, is he still so young, could he have real abilities? Of those famous Taoist monks who are active outside, which one is not in his seventies or eighties?"

"But he's really accurate in his calculations. He can tell at a glance that our family is in trouble, and I'm not in good health!"

Lin Hanyang still insisted: "He guessed it, and you don't even think about where we went. Fengyang Mountain is most famous for its mountain temple. Which one of the people who go to worship the temple is not in trouble? You are not in good health. People with eyes can tell at a glance that he can connect two things, at best he is very smart. Anyone who wants to deceive people in this business doesn't have the ability to observe the details?"

"But where did he cheat? I gave him the 200 yuan before the fortune-telling!"

"It's because his conscience is still there. You are so beautiful and kind, and you helped him not to be beaten by that vicious security guard. He is just grateful to you for not being able to lie to you again."

Mrs. Lin was rendered speechless and couldn't recognize her husband, so she turned her head in anger and looked out the window.

There are not many cars on the roads of the small city, only a few, the scenery outside the window flies by, and a large truck loaded with timber rumbles over from the right lane.

Mrs. Lin sighed immediately when she saw the height of the pile of wood: "It must be overloaded. These people really don't take their own safety seriously."

The driver skillfully avoided the big car and let the other party drive in front. Lin Hanyang knew that his wife was always meddling and compassionate, so he smiled helplessly. He was still thinking about the piece of rag his wife was holding in his hand, so he reached out to grab it: " They also want to make money, and we can't worry about whether others live or die. It's okay, you are not in good health, don't be angry with me, and throw this thing away quickly."

Mrs. Lin refused, and held on tightly to the small piece of cloth. She felt uneasy for some reason at the moment, and only by holding on to this piece of cloth seemed to be able to make herself feel at ease.

The couple started fighting with each other, Lin Hanyang was a little angry because his wife was so stubborn, and was about to reprimand her for being stupid, but at this moment, a series of earth-shattering crashes suddenly sounded outside the car.

Almost at the same time, the driver's panicked shout came from the driver's seat. He raised his head subconsciously, saw the scene outside the front window clearly in a blink of an eye, and immediately his eyes burst open.

On the road ahead, the large truck transporting timber may have been overloaded too much, and the ropes binding the goods were snapped!Under the effect of high-speed driving, the thick timber rolled down the cargo compartment was like a terrifying torrent, smashing towards the rear with a thunderous momentum!

Their car was right behind them, and there was no way to avoid it. In an instant, Lin Hanyang clearly saw the dense growth rings on the cross-section of the wood, and rushed straight to his face!

In an instant, the pores all over his body stood up, his mind went blank, but his body subconsciously threw himself aside, firmly protecting his wife's thin body.

However, how can his mortal body be able to stop the power that even steel and iron can't resist?

The car flew out of control, Lin Hanyang hugged his wife tightly, and closed his eyes in terror and despair.Before the darkness fell, he soared weightlessly into the air, only to hear the loud sound of his car being smashed through by logs, and the shivering screams of his wife and driver.

The moment he opened his eyes again, he almost thought he just woke up from a nightmare.

However, the sobbing of his wife and the deformed vehicle under him told him that he had indeed escaped the doom of life and death.

The car had turned over completely. He unbuttoned the seat belt instinctively and hugged his wife and groped up and down. He found that the other person only had a bruise on the back of the seat from his elbow, and he only had a dull pain in his back from the impact and abrasion.

The driver's shocking greeting came from ahead: "Mr. Lin? Mr. Lin? Mrs. Lin? Are you all right?"

He responded blankly, and the driver breathed a sigh of relief: "Amitabha! As long as there is nothing wrong! As long as there is nothing wrong!"

And marveled in disbelief: "God, how is this possible? How can we still be alive?!"

Lin Hanyang knew what he was thinking, because the front windshield of the vehicle had been pierced by two tree trunks.Under such a terrifying impact, even the glass covered with film was shattered without leaving a whole body, but the two tree trunks stopped just like that, like a traveler who suddenly lost all strength.

Lin Hanyang looked at a tree trunk that was almost close to his face in confusion, where the fiber skin at the end was in full bloom, as if blocked by some indestructible material.

The wife in his arms suddenly wailed: "Ah! It's so hot!"

He shivered all over and let go of his arms, only to see his wife hastily let go and threw something into the air.

It was an old piece of cloth, with some patches on the edges, and weak flames burned from its irregular edges out of thin air, engulfing it into a speck of dust in an instant.

The dust hit his face like nothing, but it made Lin Hanyang shudder.

The young driver, who hadn't recovered from the joy of being lucky enough to escape, saw his boss climbing out of the car with hands and feet protecting his wife in the next second.The boss's eyes were straightened, as if he had drunk dichlorvos, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Hurry up and find the car! Let's go back to Fengyang Mountain! Go back and find the master just now! Hurry up!"

The driver's mind was still numb at the moment, and he was immediately confused when he heard the words.What master?Didn't you just tell the proprietress that he was a liar?

A man's heart is really an impenetrable needle in the sea.

**

At this moment, Wei Xi had already walked along the flow of people to the small town at the foot of the mountain.

Along the way, he saw countless mounts that were exactly the same as those driven by Mrs. Lin.

These mounts have different shapes, the smallest one has only two round feet, which can only barely accommodate the owner, while the big one is like a small mountain bag, which can carry dozens of people in its belly.Putting it together with such a mount, Mrs. Lin's end is obviously not enough. Presumably, the couple's strength is limited, and they are not qualified to raise more ferocious prey.

However, this prey was not very tasty, and Fei Yakou had no taste at all, so Wei Xi was not very interested in these beasts after he found that they didn't seem to be actively attacking him.

He was dressed in strange clothes and carried his own big bamboo basket on his back. He caught countless eyes along the way. In order to avoid the crowds, he chose a remote road along the river.

He was carefully observing the surrounding scenery the whole time, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.The buildings here are unprecedentedly tall, the roads are flat and tidy, and the flowers, plants and bushes on both sides are in order. It looks like a city of invincible wealth, maybe the capital of a certain country.

But even if it was the capital city, he couldn't think of any country in his memory that had such huge financial resources.

The river beside him was flowing quietly, Wei Xi leaned over and bowed, it was a little muddy, he didn't really want to drink it.

Standing up and looking up, the surroundings are full of unfamiliar scenes, he is alone and has nowhere to go.

To revive the Taicang sect, where should we start?

While he was in a daze, he suddenly heard a muffled sound. He turned his head and saw a disheveled man jumping out from the grand road across the river in front of him, blocking his way with a ferocious expression.

The sturdy man in ragged clothes spread his hands and growled threateningly: "Boy, what's in the basket behind you?"

Wei Xi blinked at him calmly.

10 minute later.

The beggars of the First Bridge in Fengyang Town curled up in the corner of their own bridge hole with their noses and swollen faces.

He failed to rob, and instead received a fat beating. He could only look at the thin figure in front of him who was occupying his mat in fear.

He touched the wound on his face with the handle, sobbed, and didn't dare to breathe, he took out a bag of biscuits aggrieved, and just about to open his mouth after opening it, he raised his head suddenly.

The handsome young man sitting cross-legged on the mat had already turned his head at this moment, staring at his hands with almost innocent eyes.

He asked, "Is this delicious?"
