My Taoist Career

Children forget quickly, and I forget these things as soon as I go to school, but the thing I dare not forget is afternoon exercise. In my school, class ends at 11:2 noon and get out of class starts at [-]:[-] p.m. , because the children who are far away from home do not go home, there is a three-hour lunch break.

The old man Jiang arranged it for me like this. It takes half an hour for meals, one and a half hours for naps, and the remaining one hour to play a set of Wu Qinxi. Liu Chunyan!

Liu Chunyan doesn't sleep at noon, and he wants to study, so it's convenient to 'watch' me. I think I can't control Liu Chunyan's mouth, how dare I be dishonest?

As a result, I have become a "celebrity" in the school, because there are always a group of students watching me play Wu Qinxi, and there are more than a dozen people who watch me play Wu Qinxi every day at noon.

The school is not big. It consists of a two-story building, a one-story house, and a large yard with a row of trees as a playground. I can’t hide from it, especially when it’s close to class time. When I came to school, I woke up after a nap, causing more people to watch around me than at noon.

"Look, it looks like a monkey..."

"Oh, that's a tiger..."

"Learning to be a pheasant?" I had a mouthful of old blood stuck in my throat, fart pheasant, in the shape of a bird, I am in the shape of a bird.

But fortunately, people in that era were innocent. In this era, if I tell others that I am in the shape of a bird, I think it will make people laugh like crazy.

Anyway, that's how I became a 'celebrity'. Everyone in this Xiangchang Elementary School knows that there is a 'fool' who doesn't sleep at noon and imitates various animals.

A fool is a fool, the old man Jiang doesn't allow me to explain anything, "Everyone has different ideas, but some people say it, and some people don't say it. Even if your child is bigger than the sky, you can't control what others think." What, just do your own thing." This is what old man Jiang said.

At noon of this day, I went to be a "celebrity" again, but I was in a good mood. It's my birthday today. Mr. Jiang said that he would let my whole family come to help me celebrate, and he also said that he could call it crispy meat.

At any rate, I was looking forward to school, so I ran up the mountain with my crispy meat, and when I got to the mountain, I found that my parents had already stayed in the bamboo building, looking at me with smiles, and I asked excitedly: "Mom, where is my sister? "

"Your master has gone down the mountain to pick them up, and he will come later. Come over and see, my third child has grown stronger." My mother was very happy. Slowly grew up, but also long tall and strong.

The atmosphere of the dinner was very warm. My master, who has always been carefree and proud of his laziness, actually took care of all the food on this day. There is nothing else in the mountains, but there are a lot of wild game. The dishes on the table are really mouth-watering.

Rabbit meat grilled on charcoal fire, torn into strips, mixed with chopped peppers, silver carp caught in fresh water ponds, sliced ​​into pieces, mixed with mushrooms, pheasant stewed in a large pot of fresh and thick soup, snow white The fried winter bamboo shoots are tender, as well as the smoked sausages brought by my parents, and some fresh seasonal vegetables. Even ordinary people on that table can't keep up with the Chinese New Year's level.

The old man Jiang also took out the old wine he treasured, and made an exception and poured a glass for all four children. The wine was so thick that it almost became a pulp, and it was sweet in the mouth, until it turned into a hot breath in the throat. The burning person's whole stomach was hot, and I only took a small sip and my whole face turned red.

A person like my dad who drinks all the year round will take a long break after a drink, but the old man Jiang is "chiliu" "chiliu" and he is fine even after drinking 2 cups.

Ask him what kind of wine, he just won't say.

When the meal was almost finished, the old man Jiang said: "Sanbaer, Master has a surprise for you today. I dragged people from the town to the big city to bring it to the big city. It took some effort, but the child , Sometimes I can’t be wronged, let’s take it as something new for you.”

Look at the mysterious old man Jiang said, I don't know what it is, he entered his room, and after a while, he brought a cardboard box, and when he opened it, Su Rou shouted in surprise: "This is What, I haven’t seen it before, can I eat it?”

Inside the box is a round object with a creamy white base, a few pink flowers on it, and beautiful white borders, exuding a sweet scent that is fatal to children.

"Why can't you eat it? This is a cream cake. A few children in big cities can only eat it on their birthdays. Come on, I'll cut it for you." Old Jiang's expression was very normal.

After eating this cream cake, I finally opened my eyes and thought to myself, there are such delicious things in this world?It is fragrant and sweet with a milky taste, soft in the mouth, and there is a layer of egg cake inside.

All I knew was the yellow chicken cake, but I didn't expect there to be something like a cream cake that I had never seen before!

After eating the cake, even my parents were immersed in an inexplicable sense of happiness that was new to the world. Only the old man Jiang said calmly: "Cream cake is fine. Today I want to give Sanwa a gift." something."

After talking, the old man Jiang took out a string of black beads and handed them to me. I took a look in my hand and saw that the string of beads was not only black, but also shiny and shiny. It has a mysterious and strange fragrance, it feels like wood but not wood, in short, it has a greasy feeling.

"Master, what is this?" I asked holding up the beads.

"Agarwood, yes, Qinan Chen. Speaking of which, it has the effect of expelling filth, avoiding evil spirits, and regulating the liver. That's fine, because Taoism doesn't use money to measure the value of things. This thing is precious because of my master, that is, you It was handed down by the master, he played with it all the year round, with his power of thought in it, now I pass it on to you, you have to cherish it, don’t leave it when you wear it, and play it when you have time, when you are bored, you can read "Moral Ethics" to it Sutra, do you know?" Old man Jiang said seriously.

"Master, it's the same as this one, can't it be taken off?" I didn't know what agarwood is, let alone how much agarwood is worth, but I was a little confused that the beads I was carrying were too big, so I took out the tiger claw hanging around my neck Asked.

"Well, it can't be taken off. You are the most sad nine. Over the years, I have given you two merits to let you spend the first nine years of your life safely. But such things can't be done too much. You can only raise some Something full of aura, I will guarantee you a smooth four-ninth." Jiang old man said.

My parents understood these words, and their complexions became a little ugly. My two sisters also vaguely understood. Only me and Su Rou didn't take it lightly, because I really didn't feel anything, and Su Rou's boy He didn't understand what old man Jiang was saying at all.

Everyone present, except old man Jiang, didn't know how precious this Qinan Chen was. After hearing what old man Jiang said, I simply tied the string of agarwood beads with tiger claws and hung them around my neck. It's too big, let's wear it when it fits.

"Unfortunately, my master searched all over the world, but he couldn't find several types of agarwood recorded in ancient times. He could only find this Qinan ash. Although he said that the state of mind of a family should not be obsessed with things and demand perfection and the best, but ah... ..." My master sighed and stopped talking.

But my dad suddenly got excited at this time, stood up and said: "Master Jiang, you really didn't say anything to Sanwa'er. I don't study much, I don't have any education, and I don't know what this agarwood is. But I Knowing that it is definitely more precious than that tiger claw, speaking of you being Sanwa’er’s master, but you are more kind to him than his parents. If this Sanwaer dares to be unfilial to you in the future, I will definitely beat him to death. Otherwise, you will not recognize this son."

My mother nodded again and again in agreement.

But the old man Jiang only said: "He inherits my orthodoxy, and to me, he is more important than a son. You don't have to do that."

In short, on this ninth birthday, I received another thing from my master, a string of agarwood beads.

And at the end of this birthday, Master told me once again that when I was ten years old, he would explain some things to me, and at that time he would formally teach me some things.

I am very curious about such an explanation. What will he say to me when I am ten years old?
