Chapter 316 Back Mountain

Strike words - "You're actually good!" "Do you want to hear the truth?" There is also "hehe!" - Zhang Deshuai's quotation

Sun, September 18, 2011

According to the old woman's guidance, we came to the back mountain. Unlike the hustle and bustle of the people in front, the back mountain looks much cleaner.

A dilapidated wooden house looming in the woods. Walking in the bamboo forest, we couldn't help slowing down, afraid that every crisp sound under our feet would break the silence.

The firewood door opened, and there was a faint intention to welcome guests, which made me stunned. Not only that, there are four fine porcelain bowls on the stone table in the yard. An old man was closing his eyes at the table. He didn't open his eyes, but he seemed to see us. Without waiting for us to speak, he said loudly, "Isn't it happy to have friends coming from afar?"

"I'm disturbing the Micah quiet of the Taoist priest. We walked around here and got lost. I opened my mouth and pulled a sling.

"All visitors are guests, please sit down!" The old man's head has never been raised.

We were no longer polite and sat down directly around the stone table.

The heat of the fragrant tea in the bowl has drifted away, and it seems that the tea has been prepared for a long time. I bowed quickly and said, "I don't know I'm waiting for someone?"

"The guest has come uninvited." The old man's head still hasn't been raised.

"Are you waiting for us?" Xiaoxue was amazed.

The old man just smiled, but did not answer.

"We got lost as we turned around." Xiaoxue repeated the lie I just told.

The old man still smiled and did not answer. However, he opened his eyes. The eyes are covered with a layer of turbid white.

It turned out to be blind. I was shocked.

The old man smiled and explained, "The three of you are in a hurry but not chaotic, not for those who are looking for a way. In the walk, he raised his feet in a hurry and settled down slowly, but there was confusion in his heart. There was a pause at the door, which was the joy of arriving at the destination. Isn't it to find me?

Xiao Xue couldn't help opening her mouth when she heard the old man's words.

I didn't expect that the old man could pull out such a thing. It's really a waste if he doesn't shoot the mystery film Detective Ke Nan.

"Then how do you know we are three people?" Xiaoxue then asked. I can see that she is interested in this old man.

"I got up this morning, but I heard the wind crossing the forest. The hearts of the mountains and wild people moved, but it became their own gossip - Fengtian small animal gossip. If the small animal hexagram changes, Xun will become a hurdle, the wind and sky small animal will become the water heaven hexagram, and the mutual hexagram will become the fire hexagram. These three hexagrams all have the intention of waiting. Therefore, people in the mountains and fields know that there must be distant visitors today. Don't you hear the six words in "The Need": 'Enter the cave, there are three uninvited guests coming.' Therefore, I know that there are three unsolicited guests. "Meng" is also connected to "need". The confused people are ignorant and don't know in their hearts, so these three people must come to inquire in confusion. The old man smiled and answered. The words of divination are all randomly compiled by Mu Hong, which is untrue.)

After listening to the old man's explanation, Xiaoxue opened her mouth wide, and she looked at the old man incredulously. But I don't care about these hexagrams. Who let me see the man Cao's fortune-telling skill, which can connect the Book of Changes with the discovery of cement. Especially those who can mix the I Ching with the lottery are even more ridiculous.

But Xiaoxue didn't think so. She felt that such a mysterious thing must be very powerful, so she pestered the old man to give her a fortune. Xiaoxue has completely forgotten the purpose of our visit this time.

The old man turned a deaf ear to Xiaoxue's entanglement. He stared at me with his white eyes, waiting for my question.

The old man did this, but my heart was moved. I felt that the old man seemed to know the purpose of our coming this time. I opened my mouth and asked, "Has the Taoist priest been practicing here?"

"It's not practice, it's just a daze every day." The old man replied lightly.

"Then I want to ask someone, but I don't know if the Taoist priest can answer?"

"If you know, answer, and don't ask if you don't know." The old man's words are like nonsense.

"Qingfeng Taoist priest?" I asked immediately.

"Just an old friend."

"I'm an old man. I don't know if I can talk about my old man?"

"Who are you, the Taoist priest of Qingfeng? Are you so interested in him?" The old man became alert.

"He is the nephew of Qingfeng Taoist priest." Xiao Xue's mouth was fast for a moment and came out bald.

Xiao Xue's mouth is sometimes faster than anyone else. I don't understand why a woman's heart is so big that she can't hide things.

"It turned out to be the nephew of an old man." The old man smiled but said nothing.

However, Xiaoxue has come out bald, so I have to admit it. But the old man just said his old nephew and stopped talking. The old man's reaction made me a little strange.

The four of us didn't say anything, but just watched dryly. The old man looked at me with his cataract eyes, and I looked at him with my clear eyes, and no one spoke.

"Drink tea, drink tea!" But the old man greeted him.

"Why don't you talk?" Xiaoxue couldn't help asking.

"It's a pleasure to have friends coming from afar. It should have been a feast for guests, but there is really nothing I can do. The old man sighed.

"It's not this." Xiao Xue could hear that the old man was prevaricate with us.

"Aren't you a distant guest?" The old man asked back.

Xiao Xue's speech is blocked.

The old man's prevaricate words made me unhappy, so I said to him, "Do you know the meaning of this?"

"I would like to hear more about it."

"The world says that it is the happy words of the Monkey King Kong who came from afar. Don't you know the sadness in this saying?" I sneered.

"Oh, how do you say this?"

"The Confucius saint has three thousand disciples and seventy-two sages, but he has no friends. Why? A person's loneliness is because there is no bosom friend. Therefore, although Confucius was surrounded by people, he could only sigh, 'Friends come from afar'. I'm just a foreigner to the old man. Don't forget, I've always liked to understand these words. After saying these words, I stared at the old man and asked him, "I don't know the long sound of the piano. Where is the person who knows now?"

My question silenced the old man. After a while of silence, the old man said, "What's the use of the piano since Zhong Ziqi is dead?"

I didn't say anything, but looked at the old man smiling faintly. I know that what I just said has hit the old man. Who made him upset me just now?

We started the silence again. This time, I was not in a hurry. I picked up the already cold tea on the table, took a sip, and praised, "Good tea!"

Actually, this tea is not good. The tea is not good. It's full of tea stems. It's strange to drink in my mouth, but at this time, I can only sigh like this. Because such an exclamation means that I suppressed the old man's head in the conversation.
