Merry character

Mr. Tianque seems to be unpredictable, but in fact he is also unpredictable.I didn't dare to talk to him too much, so I sat on the bamboo chair and took out the Qimen Primer book he just handed me to read.When I opened the book, I got a headache.What canopy match Kan[-], Tianrui match Kun[-], Tianchong match Zhen[-] and so on.Reading these is almost like reading a bible.It seems that it is impossible to learn this stuff.

Big drops of rainwater hit the bamboo wall, as if there was a rhythm, I was fascinated when I heard it.

"There is something I don't understand." Mr. Tian Que's voice came suddenly.

I immediately woke up, glanced at the book in my hand, gently closed the pages, and handed it to Mr. Tian Que: "Sir, I think it's better to forget it, I really don't have the talent to learn Qimen Dunjia."

He didn't accept the book, but said: "But I don't understand."

I nodded: "It's like reading a book from heaven."

He took back the book, stared at me with unfathomable eyes for a few seconds, and suddenly asked, "Would you like to make a divination?"

To be honest, I was a little moved, but after thinking about it, I shook my head and said, "No need."

There was no more words after that, Mr. Tianque stood in front of the window, looking outside, pinching his fingers from time to time.

I lay down on the bamboo table, looking at the lush green trees outside, listening to the sound of the rain hitting the leaves and the bamboo building, I suddenly felt that this is the right time to practice the Wanfa Heart Sutra.With just this thought, he entered the state of cultivation.

Suddenly, a gust of hot air spread all over the body. Could it be that there is something wrong with the practice, it can't be a madness.I was a little worried, but I couldn't stop my meditation, let alone get rid of the scorching heat.Just when I was feeling uncomfortable all over, a cool breath came from behind, and I couldn't help leaning back. This kind of warm and cool feeling made my whole body feel comfortable, and I couldn't help turning around and hugging the ice cube, letting the coolness Dispel the dryness and heat on the face and body.The ice cube seemed to run away, so I grabbed it tightly.

Waves of hot air radiated out, as if a fireball was creating flames in the body.I can't relieve the heat even holding ice cubes.

Could it be that he really went mad after practicing kungfu?

Thinking of this possibility, I tried to open my eyes.

If I could, just pretend I didn't open my eyes, just pretend I'm only dreaming, but everything clear in my vision shows that this is reality and not a dream.

What I am holding is not ice cubes, but a person—Mr. Tian Que.I clung to him like an octopus.He frowned, visibly displeased.

I controlled the emotion of wanting to scream, and slowly let go of my hand.I stood up from the ground, said "sorry" to Mr. Tian Que who had stood up first, and then turned around and left the bamboo building.

The rain is still falling, neither fast nor slow, neither big nor small, but the world is hazy, surrounded by fog, and the scenery five steps away cannot be seen.

The rain fell on the body, diluting the heat flow in the whole body.I buried my head and rushed forward, walking far away, dense forests and bushes blocked the way, I leaned against a tree, and put my hands on my knees to breathe.

It's over, what good thing did I do just now, it seems to be molesting Mr. Tian Que.What to do, I have no face to go back.It's not good to moleste anyone, but it actually happened to Mr. Tian Que.

I punched the tree trunk behind me, and a splash of rain fell all over my body, extinguishing the only remaining heat in my body.

I looked at the foggy woods and sighed.I don't know if there is something wrong with practicing the Wanfa Heart Sutra?However, at that time, I felt very good, as if I had entered the realm of forgetting both things and me, and my whole body was comfortable. Why did something go wrong all of a sudden?I pondered for a while to no avail.

After standing numbly for a while, I pulled my drenched clothes and planned to go back.Looking around, I can't tell the direction.This is all right, I ran out on impulse just now, how can I go back now?

I had to choose a direction according to my intuition.It was very hot just now, but now it is drenched by the autumn rain, and the cold air enters the body, and the whole body is shivering with cold.I walked forward tremblingly.I bumped into an object suddenly, and I looked up—Mr. Tian Que.

How could he appear here?Under the umbrella, Mr. Tian Que, with white hair fluttering lightly, the long vicissitudes accumulated in his black eyes, and endless unpredictability engraved on his youthful face.

I just wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in, but this idea just flashed by, and the scenery in front of me suddenly changed.In a blink of an eye, I entered a bamboo forest, no rain, no fog, and the sun was shining brightly.The wind blows the bamboo leaves, making a rustling sound.I was stunned for a while, and looked at Mr. Tian Que suspiciously.

"It's just an illusion," he explained.

Illusion?Illusion in this world?I looked around in amazement, everything was so real.I pinched my arm and it hurts.

"The highest state of illusion is to turn fiction into reality."

Mr. Tianque talked eloquently about illusion, but I didn't listen to it at all. I just thought in my mind: He probably didn't take the matter of me molesting him to heart.I pressed my temples and told myself to forget about the humiliation.

In the blink of an eye, Mr. Tian Que's face was close at hand, and he raised my chin with one hand. This was obviously a teasing gesture, but his expression was calm, as if he was just appraising something.I pushed his hand and it didn't move.

"Good face." He suddenly said, "It's just that the variables are uncertain."

Is he looking at the picture?

Yaner, Yaner...

Hey, Liu Zhongyu's voice.I turned my head and looked around, but there was no one.The scene in front of him suddenly trembled, and the picture suddenly changed.I was still in the thick foggy forest, and Mr. Tian Que was standing tall with an umbrella.It rained without stopping.

I looked around, the fog was so thick that it was difficult to see people, I turned around, but Liu Chongyu's voice didn't sound again, could it be just my hallucination?I did not give up and shouted: "Father, I am here."

Before I finished speaking, Liu Chongyu appeared in front of me in black clothes, with a slight frown on his stern face.He glanced at me, said nothing, and took my hand.Warm, dry hands instantly made me feel safe.A warm current spread to my body along the holding hands, and the coldness of late autumn disappeared immediately.

Mr. Tianque was still standing there with an umbrella to block all wind and rain, as if he was in the warm spring season.Liu Chongyu nodded to him, and flew into the fog with his arms around me.

***

Back in the hut, Liu Zhongyu took off my clothes, wrapped me in the quilt, and then took a handkerchief and began to wipe my wet hair.While wiping, he said, "Why did you run there?"

I organized my words and glanced at him secretly. Seeing that he was not angry, I mustered up my courage and said, "Today I went to find Mr. Tianque, and I stayed there when it suddenly rained. Later, those who practiced the Wanfa Heart Sutra Something went wrong accidentally, and then somehow... an accident."

"You practiced the Wanfa Heart Sutra at Tianque?"

"Well, what's the matter?" I looked at Liu Chongyu's serious face, and couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive.

After his expression darkened for a while, he said, "What happened next?"

I opened my mouth, unable to speak, Liu Chongyu's expression became more and more gloomy.Suddenly lifted the quilt, and looked at my naked body like a patrol.

I looked at him in astonishment, the gloom in his eyes gradually dissipated, and he said to me: "Don't practice the Wanfa Heart Sutra casually in front of others."

My head was shocked again.What is the problem with this Ten Thousand Dharma Heart Sutra?

"Don't think wildly." Liu Zhongyu put down the veil that was wiping my hair, pulled up the quilt and covered me again.

I frowned and looked at Liu Chongyu, and blurted out: "Today, I almost molested Mr. Tianque. Is this related to the cultivation of the Wanfa Heart Sutra?"

The expression in Liu Chongyu's eyes changed several times, and finally said: "I can only practice in the future when I am around."

I said nervously, "This Wanfa Heart Sutra will not have any negative effects."

"Don't worry, it's only good for you."

I am relieved.

After a while, I was a little confused and said: "Father, Mr. Tian Que shouldn't blame me for being rude, right?"

"No." Liu Chongyu said firmly.

***

For the next few days, I didn't dare to show my face in front of Mr. Tian Que.

Liu Chongyu built a wooden house in another place.It looked much stronger than Master Xuanzhen's hut, and it was also much neater and more beautiful.

After being a coward for a few days, I also forgot the embarrassment of that day, so I came out to let the air go.

Under a thick yellow fruit tree, Mr. Tianque with white hair and Mr. Shochiku with the same white hair are playing chess.Master Xuanzhen hugged his whisk and leaned against the tree to sleep.I hesitated for a moment, but walked over.

Mr. Tianque glanced at me, then turned around and continued playing chess.When Mr. Shochiku saw me, he stroked his beard and said, "Young Master Liu, can you play chess?"

I shook my head and said, "I'm not good at chess."

Mr. Shochiku stroked his beard, looked thoughtful, and then dropped his hand.

The two of you come and go, looking leisurely and carefree.

I looked at the chessboard, surrounded by black and white chess.I can't figure out what kind of chess game it is.Another half a while passed.The two stopped suddenly at the same time.

Mr. Songzhu said: "Thank you Tianque for your mercy.

Mr. Tian Que didn't move his brows and eyes, and his expression didn't show, he just said: "I didn't show mercy."

Songzhu smiled and said, "That's because you're absent-minded, don't know what's going on?"

Mr. Tianque's expression was calm and he did not speak.

Mr. Songzhu didn't ask any further questions, and said: "I have taken in a disciple, so you can take over my mantle."

Mr. Tian Que's eyes moved like Gu Jing's: "You found the right person so quickly?"

"The fate has come, I wonder if you have any plans to take another apprentice. You have a lot of special knowledge, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to find all-round talents. It would be great if you can find one talent for each one. Don't be too picky." Suddenly looked at me, " I think Young Master Xiaoliu can learn illusion."

Well?I looked at Mr. Tian Que.He glanced at me and said coldly, "Let's talk about it."

"I'll go pick up my apprentice first, and you can play with Young Master Liu." Mr. Shochiku greeted me to his place, "Playing chess to improve your temperament, especially playing chess with Tianque, will benefit you a lot, please sit down .” After pressing me in his position, the man disappeared.

I looked at Mr. Tianque, and then at the chessboard. This game seemed to be a draw.According to Mr. Shochiku, Mr. Tianque accepted this draw.So how good is Mr. Tian Que's chess skills?As far as my rookie level is concerned, don't be ashamed.I separated the chess pieces, and said to Mr. Tianque: "Sir, I don't know how to play Go, and I don't have much talent in this area. Why don't we play other chess?"

Mr. Tian Que seemed to be a little interested, and said: "What else is there?"

So I explained the rules about five-finger chess.

Confronting geniuses often destroys self-confidence.In the first round, I won. In the second round, I drew. From the third round, I never won again.
