Long History** "Asking the Impermanence of My Life, Not by Heaven" Volume IV: Enlightenment.
This person suddenly reminded him: If you can't go to Zhongnan Mountain, please return as soon as possible! What's the mystery?
The next morning, the old watchman got up early and went to the backyard to look at the flowers. Who knew that it was okay not to see it, but after seeing the scene of the flowers and plants withering, he was so distressed that he burst into tears.
It turned out that there was a storm yesterday, and the flowers and trees in the yard were devastated, and now the flowers and leaves have fallen, and the ground is full of red and green, leaving bare branches shivering in the cold wind of the early morning.
My flowers, my peonies! The old Taoist priest only felt a little pity for other flowers, but he was deeply saddened by that peony.
He stood in front of the peony, looking at the branches that had been broken in the wind, and only three or four broken leaves remained, and remembered the magnificent scene when the flowers usually bloomed, and couldn't help but burst into tears: "My poor peony, why did it suddenly become like this? Alas, it's all my fault, it's all my fault that I only greeted the guests yesterday, but forgot to build a wooden shed for you, so that you suffered this catastrophe! How is this good? ”
The old viewer wept and wiped his tears, and at the same time trembled his hands to stroke the broken branches of the peony, so sad that he could hardly help himself.
What are you howling here early in the morning? When the old Taoist priest was sad to himself, he heard an extremely harsh voice behind him.
He looked back and saw that it was Goko who was staggering out of the room, and saw him crying here, and walked over with a look of annoyance on his face.
Me, what do I do and what does it have to do with you? The old Taoist priest didn't think much of what the fifth son did, so he didn't want to pay much attention to him at this time, so he still wiped his old tears and said.
I said, old Taoist, you shouldn't disturb my good dreams by doing anything, right? Goko rubbed his eyes with his hand and said, "You don't look at the room you arranged for me, it is the outermost room, and the slightest movement outside woke me up! I was sleeping soundly, but I was suddenly woken up by your voice! I said old Taoist, for the sake of your age, I will listen to it with kindness, just tell me what you have to do! ”
Alas, my flowers, my peonies! The old Taoist priest continued to hide his face and said, "My peony bloomed so big a few days ago, this is just a rain, and it has become like this! What a good thing you say! ”
Ouch, I said the old Taoist, isn't it just a peony, are you sad to be like this? Wuzi looked along the old Taoist priest's finger and saw that the huge peony was already broken and the leaves had fallen at this time, and it looked really decaying.
Despite this, this scene did not touch the fifth son, he just said nonchalantly: "This one is gone, you can plant a few more!" ”
You are right, I have been raising this peony for more than ten years, so it is like a child raised by my own hands! In the past, when it bloomed every year, the petals were as pink as a child's face! Usually no one comes to this view, I feel bored and talk to this flower, it is not like a companion to me? Listening to the nonchalant tone of the fifth son, the old Taoist priest couldn't help but say angrily, "It's not just a flower to me, it's a companion!" That's a kid! ”
Wuzi frowned and looked at the sad appearance of the old Taoist, first lowered his head and thought about it, then raised his head, rolled his eyes, looked at the old Taoist priest and smiled slightly, and then approached the old Taoist's ear and said: "Since it is one of your companions, I have an idea to bring it to life! Do you want to know? ”
Okay, what's your idea? Come and hear it! As long as I can bring my peony to life, I am willing to give you anything! The old Taoist priest must have been too sad, and when he heard that Wuzi gave him ideas, he didn't care who Wuzi was, so he hurriedly urged.
I don't want anything from you, I'm just giving you this idea, you have to obey it! Goko said deliberately slowly.
I listen, I listen! Say it, say it! The old Taoist priest urged eagerly.
Old Daoist, the three Taoist priests you took in yesterday must have seen their miraculous skills, right? Are they all extremely high in cultivation, and they are by no means comparable to ordinary people? The fifth son pretended to be affectionate and said to the old Taoist priest.
The old Taoist priest was originally extremely respectful to the three of Ma Yu's master and apprentice, but when he heard Wuzi say this, he was thinking about him, and couldn't help nodding and saying: "Exactly, exactly, don't look at the age of these three people, but the cultivation is really not shallow, I don't know how much stronger than my old and useless person!" ”
Yes, I won't tell you the old man, these three Taoist priests are really living immortals! Seeing the old Taoist priest following his train of thought, the fifth son couldn't help but add fuel and vinegar and said: "According to me, those immortals must have the skills they have! I'm afraid that any Taoist technique of flying clouds and mist, praying for rain and praying for sunshine will be able to,"
Thinking of the humiliation he suffered yesterday, Wuzi couldn't help gritting his teeth and said: "It's natural to turn stones into gold! Think about it, they have such a great ability to save your peony, isn't that a trivial matter? ”
Yes, yes! You're right, you're right! The old Taoist priest suddenly seemed to see the direction in the fog, his eyes immediately lit up, and his voice became high-pitched: "I'm begging them to go, let them help me, the old man, and save the peony!" ”
That's right! When the fifth son saw that the old Taoist priest had been tricked, he couldn't help but come up with an idea again: "Old man, you listen to me, as long as you do this and do this, you will definitely be able to save your peony by keeping them!" ”
When the old Taoist priest heard Wuzi say this, he couldn't help but turn his sadness into joy, bent down and picked up the cane that he had just thrown to the ground, turned around and walked tremblingly towards the house, saying as he went: "This time, my flower can be regarded as saved! I don't ask for anything else, but if I can revive my peony, I'll be satisfied! ”
Seeing the old Taoist priest's happy smile, Wuzi hurriedly stopped him and said, "Old man, why did I forget what I just told you in a blink of an eye? You can't go in like this, you have to cry, you have to cry, the sadder you cry, the better! ”
Oh? Still crying? The old Taoist priest had already wiped away his tears, but when he heard this, he couldn't help shaking his head and said, "But as soon as I heard that they could save my peony, I was not sad, and there were no tears! ”
Then you have to cry too, if you don't cry, who will save the peony for you? Wuzi couldn't help frowning slightly as he spoke, "You must cry! ”
Okay, then I'll try it and see if I can cry! The old Taoist priest said, looking back at the peony with broken branches and leaves, and he couldn't help but wipe his tears again.
As soon as the five sons saw that it was exactly what they wanted, they hurriedly helped the old Taoist priest to walk towards the hall. Seeing that he had already walked into the aisle, Wuzi immediately raised his voice, and asked in a loud voice as if he was afraid that others would not hear him: "Old man, why are you crying so sadly this morning? ”
The old Taoist priest still flashed the appearance of the peony in front of his eyes, and when he heard the fifth son ask, he couldn't help but sobble and cry again: "Alas, my peony originally grew well in the yard, who knew that it was just not taken care of for a day, and it was beaten like that by the wind and rain! Alas, my peony, the peony I have worked so hard to raise for more than ten years! The more he spoke, the more sad he became, and the tears could not stop falling.
Ma Yu had already taken Li Zihe and Li Da to ride in the hall, and Li Shaowu was also sitting idly on the wooden table next to him drinking tea. When several people saw the old Taoist priest walking in crying, they all quickly stood up with concern and stepped forward to ask what was going on.
What's wrong with you, old man? Li Zihe asked, holding the old Taoist's arm.
Alas, I, I ......The old Taoist priest wiped his tears and said, "My peony is finished this time! ”
The old Taoist priest also had no intention of faking, and when he thought of the peony now, he couldn't help but feel sad and tearful.
When the old man with white hair cried like this, who among the few people present did not feel compassion and empathy? One by one, they all came forward to comfort and persuade.
I saw it all just now, this old man's peony is so miserable! Wuzi saw that the old Taoist priest couldn't say anything else except crying, so he couldn't help but hype it up: "I also saw that peony a few days ago, it's called a water spirit! Although there are no flowers blooming at this time, when I look at the branches and leaves of the peony, I know that it is definitely a precious variety, and how beautiful it may be to bloom! Isn't it, old man? ”
Yes, yes! The old Taoist priest nodded frequently when the fifth son said, "If you come in May or June, you will definitely be able to see my precious peony blooming!" The flower is so big, it's the most beautiful in the whole yard! ”
But now when you look at it, the peony is ugly, the leaves are gone, and the flower branches are broken! The fifth son said to himself, squinting at Ma Yu and the three of them, and then continued: "Alas, the old man has been kind enough to take care of us these days, and seeing him so uncomfortable now, I really hate that I don't have the ability to call the wind and rain and point gold and live trees! If I had that ability, I would definitely help the old man revive the peony! ”
Dao Chief, you are the most capable, save my peony quickly! Hearing what the fifth son said, the old Taoist priest suddenly turned to Ma Yu and grabbed Ma Yu's sleeve: "This peony is my life, without that peony in the yard, I'm afraid I won't be able to live!" ”
It's ......Ma Yu was pulled by the old Taoist priest's sleeve, and hurriedly stretched out his hands to support the old Taoist priest: "The kung fu of the living tree, alas, I haven't tried it, I don't know if it can work!" ”
To be continued, welcome to look forward to it).
