unrequited temperament

There are two new Taoist priests at Qingyan Guanna, Tsinghua Ph.D. in Physics and Master of Philosophy from overseas returnees.The former's real name is Lin Arbitration, and his current Taoist name is Xiangsheng; the latter's real name is Jianghui, and his current Taoist name is Xiangyu.

After Xiangsheng and Xiangyu came, the Taoist temple was connected to the Internet, computers were installed, and the furniture was completely new.Although the appearance of the Taoist temple is still dilapidated, the inside is already very luxurious.Firstly, friends who are high-achieving physics students from Xiangsheng came to Guanli to directly install an independent generator, reinstall the circuit, and match it with a computer.Then a friend who was foolish came to send a batch of antique furniture and some valuable antiques.

The three guests currently living in Qingyan Temple are Xiangyu's friends, named Tao Tong, Ma Hong, and Kong Jiaxing respectively.These three people are the thieves who stole the loquats in Xie Yu courtyard.Tao Tong was terrified by Xie Yun's sudden disappearance, and later almost fled without taking any loquats. It was Ma Hong and Kong Jiaxing who carried the loquats one by one, and the wooden ladder by the other, and brought them all back to the temple.

When Tao Tong returned to Qingyan Temple, he hugged the little Taoist Xiangyu, and anxiously asked if there were ghosts in the fruit-filled yard.Or there was some monster, he remembered that that person looked very different from ordinary people at that time.There is no sound when walking, and it seems to be very good-looking.The sky was dim, and he only glanced at it again, but he couldn't see it very clearly, but the impression he recalled at this moment was even clearer than that at the time. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

Ma Hong and Kong Jiaxing are people who never believe in strange things, and they don't think wildly.But Tao Tong is different, he has believed in these things since he was a child.Others regarded him as timid and nervous, but only he himself knew that some evil things were true.It's useless to tell Ma Hong and Kong Jiaxing, but Jiang Hui definitely believed it. He didn't believe it before, but now that he is a Taoist priest, he should have changed his mind.But Jiang Hui, the current foolish little Taoist priest, rolled his eyes at Tao Tong, and pulled him away from his body: "Don't be suspicious." He spent a few days ago entrusting a designer friend to make a high-end custom-made fashionable Taoist robe , "The person you saw was Mr. Xie, who is said to be a violin maker. He and my master are close friends. Next time we meet, don't be so rude."

Tao Tong hesitated, "Is that really not a ghost?"

"Ghost you're big, you've seen a ghost that looks like that."

Tao Tong shook his head, but still had some doubts: "That Mr. Xie can't be a demon?"

"Monster?" Xiangyu looked at Tao Tong amusedly, "You think too much, there are no demons in this world."

"There are even ghosts, and it's not impossible to have demons."

"Even if there is, Mr. Xie is not. Don't think about it." Xiangyu looked at Ma Hong and Kong Jiaxing who came in from behind, "Did you guys be rude in front of Mr. Xie today?"

Ma Hong frowned and said, "I picked a few loquats, and I said to pay him 1000 yuan, and he agreed, but he disappeared in a blink of an eye. I don't know what the hell is going on."

Hearing this, Xiangyu frowned: "Guqin master is more noble than literati, do you think he cares about your few dollars."

"I don't think that gentleman is the high-minded person you mentioned. As soon as we talked about paying, he agreed." Ma Hong pointed to the loquats he put on the ground just now. Frame, 1000 yuan is a lot. It is much more cost-effective than the ones on the market.”

"Who said it's a question of more money and less money." Xiangyu looked at Ma Hong with disdain, "Although I don't know that Mr. Xie well, since my master has been cited as a close friend, he must be indifferent to fame, fortune and money. People. Don't ask for money in front of him, it's not vulgar."

"Vulgar, I'm a layman, you're the only one who is noble, living in such a run-down place now, don't you have to decorate with vulgar things."

Xiangyu was silent, Ma Hong turned around angrily and wanted to leave, Tao Tong looked around, and finally looked at Kong Jiaxing who had been silent all this time: "You persuade them, what are you doing, if you have something to say, talk about it."

Kong Jiaxing turned his head and stopped Ma Hong: "We were wrong in today's matter, and our attitude towards that gentleman was indeed not very polite. Why don't we go and apologize now." Looking at Xiangyu, "I just don't know the time Is it convenient?"

"Don't go now when it's late, I'll go with you tomorrow." Xiangyu paused for a moment and continued, "Ma Hong was right just now, I can't let such a quiet place become more vulgar. Take all the famous paintings and antiques that come here. I’m here to practice, not to enjoy. In the future, don’t buy anything when you come here. Of course, if you have nothing to do, don’t come. The environment I live in is really inconvenient Treat you."

"Jiang Hui, what do you mean, you, it's not that you called and said that your broken way temple has strange rocks and mountains, beautiful scenery, sweet spring water, some kind of paradise, and asked us to visit, but it is actually a broken temple that cannot be visited. Huyou, we are so clean that we can live, so we will start to drive people away, right? What are you talking about, you are here to practice, not to enjoy, look at your new Taoist robe is a luxury, you can wear it if you have the ability That cheap Taoist robe of yours is as peaceful and happy as Daoist Min." Ma Hong shook his face and wanted to leave again.

Kong Jiaxing stopped him with a serious face.Ma Hong stopped in his tracks, and said impatiently: "I'm not wrong. If he is like this, he might as well go back with us to live our happy life, and practice some way. He can't see it, he can't touch it."

Several people were silent, and after a while, Kong Jiaxing looked at Xiangyu: "Jiang Hui, I never understood why you came to become a Taoist priest all of a sudden. I heard that you broke up with Luyue because of this. You know, she is still waiting You. Moreover, Taoist priests are not as strictly disciplined as monks. Even if you become a Taoist priest, you can still marry and have children. This is not a choice that you can have both your cake and your cake, so you should think about it carefully."

"Of course, you can't have both fish and bear's paws. The first step in cultivating Taoism requires no desire, no pursuit, no form and no self. Every time you enter the meditation, you must have no worries, no thoughts, no worries, and forget everything, otherwise you will lose everything. No. You said that if you fall into the relationship between a man and a woman, it is possible to do this? Take a step back and assume that I can control emotions freely. But you can’t do things between men and women in Taoism. People in the world go astray. True Taoism cannot be tempted. , the body is moving but the mind is not moving, and the desire is not moving, and the thoughts are achieved. Once the thoughts are moved, all previous efforts will be wasted."

There was another silence.Xiangyu looked like he was determined to the Tao.Ma Hong had a nervous expression on his face, while Tao Tong had a silly and adoring face.In the end, it was he who broke the silence: "Jiang Hui, what do you mean you can't have sex with women?"

Xiangyu: "Of course."

"Then how can there be dual cultivation?"

"Shuangxiu was made up randomly in novels, and I haven't heard of such a thing in reality. Of course, it may also be possible that I am ignorant. After all, the world is so big and full of wonders. My knowledge is really very small." Xiangyu sighed as he said. , Sighing that I am so small, but a particle in the ocean.

Ma Hong saw that the two people were talking outrageously, and said: "You are all dazed. What kind of nonsense, even double cultivators have come here, thinking this is a dream. Cultivation of Taoism, Taoism, what to cultivate, Taoism is not just one Is it a classical culture, Taoism is just an ordinary religion, how can it be possible to practice Taoism, can live forever, can become immortals and gods?"

Xiangyu smiled slightly: "Believe it is true."

"You..." Ma Hong looked at Jiang Hui with an expression that seemed to have turned into a fairy, and instantly changed from anger to worry. No matter how you look at this person, he looks like he has been brainwashed by charlatans with superstition.Li's Lulun Gong back then was an example. Many people were deceived, including many highly educated and intellectuals.Looking at Jiang Hui's situation today, Ma Hong became suspicious.And the more I think about it, the more I realize it's possible.Looking at this Taoist temple again, I feel suspicious.

Such a dilapidated Taoist temple could not be inhabited until Jiang Hui and the other little Taoist priest came.That Daoist Min didn't know how he tricked Jiang Hui and the kid who studied physics.It seems that the ability to fool people must be very strong.This is a bit tricky.For a while, he and Kong Jiaxing were sure they couldn't talk about Jiang Hui.And Tao Tong was originally a guy full of superstitious thoughts, so I'm afraid it would be a disservice to tell him.

After pondering for a while, Ma Hong calmly gave Kong Jia a wink. The two looked at each other, and immediately understood that the other party and himself probably had the same idea.So the two cooperated tacitly, Ma Hong stopped talking, Kong Jiaxing said: "Jiang Hui, tomorrow we will go to apologize to that Mr. Xie, what time do you think is suitable?"

Xiangyu looked at Ma Hong, Ma Hong frowned, and said impatiently: "Understood, if you make an apology, you will make an apology."

Jiang Hui didn't mind Ma Hong's attitude either, his expression became gentler, and he began to tell him: "Mr. Xie, when the sun is not rising, he will go to the nearby hills to play the piano. When the sun comes out and the weather gets hot, you will return to the farmhouse to play the piano. You have to apologize, but you have to go when Mr. Xie plays the piano and returns to the farmhouse before he starts to play the piano. If it is not in time, don’t disturb Mr. Xie. Find time to go."

***

Ma Hong and the others returned to the guest room. Ma Hong and Kong Jiaxing wanted to discuss Jiang Hui's affairs, but they were hesitant to tell Tao Tong their guesses. .The two hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to tell Tao Tong.One is that the three of them lived in the same room, and there was no way to dismiss Tao Tong. If they found a reason to dismiss him, it might cause him to make all kinds of wild guesses.At that time, maybe even worse things will happen.

Tao Tong saw that the two looked at each other for a while, and then looked at him again. He was also very puzzled, and asked in confusion, "What kind of charades are you playing?"

"We have a conjecture to tell you. Don't yell, it's still a conjecture. Next we need to verify it. During this process, don't expose yourself."

Seeing Kong Jiaxing's serious face, Tao Tong immediately became solemn: "What's the matter, tell me, I will definitely keep it a secret."

Kong Jia was about to say that he suspected that Jiang Hui had been cheated, but Tao Tong immediately exclaimed, "This is impossible."

"Didn't I tell you to stop shouting?" Ma Hong threw out a sentence.Tao Tong immediately covered his mouth and said, "Your conjecture is... too ridiculous." Tao Tong shook his head like a rattle, expressing his disbelief.

Ma Hong stared at him: "Whether you believe it or not, don't say it yet. We are not saying that this is a conclusion. This matter has to be verified. Think about it, even if ghosts and gods really exist in this world, they can become immortals if they cultivate Taoism and become immortals." It is true, but what do you think is the chance of meeting someone with such abilities? There are so many blatant liars in the world. This matter must be clarified, in case Jiang Hui never met a real expert, but met a wise man If you are a liar, then it will be troublesome, and it is estimated that nothing can be repaired by then, wasting time and life."

Ma Hong followed Tao Tong's words, Tao Tong agreed and nodded repeatedly.

Seeing that Tao Tong was persuaded, Kong Jiaxing said: "Tomorrow we will go to apologize when that Mr. Xie is with Daoist Min."

After the matter was settled, the three of them left the Taoist temple early on the pretext of going for a stroll the next morning, and went to ambush at the mountain that Daoist Min and Xie Yu used to like to go in advance.Unfortunately, on this day, Xie Yu did not go to that mountain, but went to another nearby mountain that was relatively steep.After the three found out, they hurried over.

The three of them didn't know that Taoist Min was a man of real cultivation, so they heard their voices from a long distance away.So when they thought they climbed to the top of the mountain casually, Xie Yun and Daochang Min had already been waiting for a long time.

When the three of them reached the top of the mountain, they first said hello to Daoist Min, who smiled faintly and nodded.The three of them, Lala Zaza, exchanged pleasantries with Daochang Min, and even pretended to meet Daochang while visiting casually.

Daochang Min had a kind smile and friendly words. Although his words were old-fashioned, he could understand them all.It seems that he is a real Taoist priest with good morals.Definitely not like a liar.Of course, advanced liars generally cannot see it.

Ma Hong decided to observe slowly.Then he looked at Kong Jiaxing, only to find that Kong Jiaxing was staring at the person sitting on a stone pier with his back facing them, his expression seemed to be frozen by something, his eyes seemed calm, but they were already surging.

How is this going?The person sitting three steps away with a guqin in front of him was obviously Mr. Xie.He and Tao Tong met once yesterday, and although they were looking at the back instead of the front, they knew it was him.This man is truly unforgettable.But the strange thing is that Kong Jiaxing didn't see anyone in the tree yesterday, so I don't know what's going on now?Did you already know each other?

On the steep mountain top, sometimes a strong wind blows, sometimes a gentle wind blows, and sometimes it is so quiet that time is still.

One, one luthier, three high-ranking guests, the atmosphere became tense without knowing it.
