My Taoist Career

Hearing old man Jiang's words, my whole body tensed up. Because of Taoism, the awe of old man Jiang's education, and my own personal experience, I actually have a sense of respect and avoidance of things like tombs, but I don't Thinking of someone going to pick up the things in the grave.

"Master, you don't care about such a person? You still come here to trade?" I was young, and in my heart, white is white and black is black. In my world, good people should live long, and bad people should be arrested.

Master is an expert in my eyes. I think he should take care of this kind of grave picking.

"I don't care, their grave robbers belong to the same industry, and many of them are also poor people who have been forced to panic! In fact, if this goes on, life and death are at their own hands, and their lives are not in their own hands. And they also steal people's tombs. My own retribution, oh my god, is staring at it, they know it themselves, and they have their own rules, and when the retribution comes, many people also recognize it. Three children, right and wrong in this world, black and white, Sometimes it’s not as simple as you think, like this day, there’s a day and there’s also a night, isn’t it? In addition, the affairs of our mountain’s veins are the affairs of another world, and those things are not allowed to be damaged. It affects people's lives, but we are not in charge of the affairs of this world." Jiang old man sighed and said quietly.

In fact, I was only ten years old at the time. Now that I think about it, he didn’t know how to explain the truth to a ten-year-old child. The human heart is the most terrifying thing, but the main idea of ​​Taoism is to let him be natural, and the way of heaven has its own cycle. .

It is cruel to ask a child to accept certain darkness.

After being silent for a while, old man Jiang said: "When you are 15 years old, I will take you out, and every year from now on I will take you to run the 'Jianghu', then you will understand a lot."

I nodded in response in my heart. After all, I still can't accept things in the world with a normal heart. I can see through the truth that others let him go.

After walking for a while, the old man Jiang finally pulled me into a teahouse. Compared with other teahouses, this teahouse is very different. The small second floor has an air that does not belong to the market.

"This underground shop is opened so ostentatiously. I'm afraid it's Zhang Xian's status as the boss of the industry." Old man Jiang muttered as soon as he entered the teahouse, but his voice was very low, and I was the only one who could hear it.

After a pause, Old Man Jiang didn't go up to the second floor, so he found a table at random in the corner of the first floor and sat down.

After sitting down for a while, a waiter came to greet him. Old man Jiang casually ordered two cups of scented tea and a plate of peanuts, and was about to let the guy go down, but after thinking about it, he asked the guy to help him shout I ordered 2 bowls of beef noodles, probably because I was hungry.

I ate the 2 bowls of beef noodles. The taste was so-so, but I was finally half full.

"Master, you said that the food in Chengdu is so delicious, but this noodle is so-so." Being used to eating wild game in the mountains, I really thought this beef noodle was not good. As I said this, I stretched out my hand to drink the tea in front of me. Once I drank it, I felt extremely unpleasant, and almost didn't spit it out.

"You son, this beef noodle is usually from a roadside stall, and you can still eat a flower? This tea, I guess you have been tricked by me. You usually drink it with me on the mountain. Those teas...forget it, you will understand if you run more rivers and lakes with me in the future." After finishing speaking, old man Jiang peeled the peanuts on his own, and drank the scented tea in front of him one by one. See what is not used to.

After all, I am a child. It is fine to sit in this teahouse for a while. After sitting for 10 minutes, I will inevitably become bored and start to look at everything in this teahouse.

The guests in this teahouse are confusing. Listen to the voice, many of them are not from Sichuan at all. It seems that there is a big difference. Unlike other teahouses, they are either old people or old people. It's just playing cards.

How would you describe the people here?People who drink tea here include honest-looking peasants, some even have mud spots on their trouser legs, some wear glasses, hold a fan, and look extremely refined, and there are also those who look ordinary and have a good eye. But he was unusually calm, with a ruthless personality.

I don't know if it's because of what Master said that I was born with "Sky Eye". In short, I am always very sensitive to a person's existence, that is, I can feel what is in a person's bones.

The tea shoppers in this teahouse were so mixed, it made me really happy to watch it. After a while, I discovered a strange phenomenon.

Those tea drinkers who sit and drink tea, after sitting for a while, there will always be people who come to talk to them. Some of them go to greet people as soon as they enter the teahouse and observe around, and some of them are tea drinkers who originally drank tea.

The people being talked to usually look nervous. Basically, after a few words, you can see those people being talked to shake their heads or nod their heads. I went out with others directly. Usually, if I went out like this, those teahouse buddies who were idle on the side would go with one of them.

Anyway, it only took a while to go out. Some people continued to sit and drink tea after they came back, and some people just checked out and left after they came back.

"Third baby, do you see the name coming?" Jiang old man took a sip of tea leisurely and asked casually.

"I can see something coming, but I don't know why. These people are running around looking for people to talk to, and coming in and out. Look at them, they are not familiar with each other."

"This is business. Those who talk to people are people traffickers who collect things. They usually use jargon to ask people if they have the goods and how they are. After asking these basic things, he will give you an approximate price. , and then ask people if they would like to take out the goods to see. After all, this business cannot be done in the open. Those who are willing to show the goods usually go to the back alley of this teahouse or near the toilet. After all, the owners of this teahouse are not ordinary. They dare not mess around, and they dare not steal other people’s goods in private. Generally speaking, those who can enter this teahouse are people who know the area very well, and especially those who have been in the teahouse for a long time Only customers can come in, and those who come in by mistake will be invited out after asking a few words." Old man Jiang explained to me.

"Then they went out to look at the goods, what did the guys in the teahouse do with them? Also, why weren't we invited out?"

"The buddy followed up to draw money. The people in this teahouse only accept first-class goods, but they allow others to receive goods in his teahouse. But when the deal is completed, both buyers and sellers have to pay a certain amount to this teahouse. A little money. As for why we weren’t invited out, it’s because it’s not up to time. After sitting for an hour, their people will come to investigate.” Old man Jiang whispered.

Sure enough, during the conversation, a guy walked towards this side.

"Master, you came here to drink tea because an acquaintance introduced you? Did you say our teahouse is good?"

"I did it myself." Old man Jiang was very calm.

"I said look at the face, we are all old customers here, and we like to talk about things here." After the guy finished speaking, he stared at old man Jiang. If he didn't understand at this time With a little jargon, it is estimated that people will be kicked out.

"Don't talk about heavenly affairs, let alone underground affairs, it's serious to talk about money matters." Old man Jiang replied inexplicably, the guy smiled, and tapped his surroundings inexplicably head, turned and left.

I was taken aback for a moment, what is this all about?

"This is jargon. In fact, the secret meaning is that we don't talk about grave robbery and other things here. Everyone just talks about it. It also implies that this place is for business and has nothing to do with tomb robbers. It can be regarded as a clear relationship. Behavior later became jargon. This fellow nodded just now to imply that we are sensible people, and after a while, someone will come to us to do business." Jiang old man gave me 'literacy' again.

To be honest, after coming to this place and observing it for so long, I felt an inexplicable excitement in my heart. From the initial resistance, I became fresh and curious.

Sure enough, as expected, after a while, a young man who looked like a prickly person began to walk towards our table in a big way.
