"okay!"
The boss took out a bamboo tube-like umbrella cover from under the table, put the oil-paper umbrella in it, and then handed it to Lin Beichen: "Here, here, young man."
"thank you boss."
Lin Beichen showed his payment interface, then took the oil-paper umbrella and walked towards the mountain.
Before he could get very far.
A crisp voice whispered: "Grandpa, this big brother is so strange!"
A little girl and an old man appeared in front of a stall selling oil-paper umbrellas.
The little girl is about twelve or thirteen years old. She is not very tall. She is wearing a white sports suit. She looks cute and playful, with a little baby fat on her face. She looks like a junior high school student.
The old man next to him is almost seventy years old. He is lean and energetic. He looks very kind and kind. He is wearing a casual hat and a black sports suit. He is also holding a hiking pole in his hand. .
The old man's face was full of kindness and he asked: "What's wrong? Why is that big brother so weird?"
"He said it was a good day."
The little girl tilted her head, with confusion written all over her face, and said, "How can a rainy day be good weather?"
Just now, she and the old man were buying trekking poles at the stall opposite the stall selling oil-paper umbrellas. She listened to the entire conversation between Lin Beichen and the owner of the oil-paper umbrellas.
"You."
The old man smiled and touched the little girl's head and said: "Everyone has different definitions of good and bad, and they have their own standards. If you like sunny days, then sunny days are good weather, rainy days are bad weather, but for those who like For people who live in rainy days, rainy days are good weather, and sunny days become bad weather. It is not good to judge other people's good or bad, right or wrong. Don't do this again next time."
"oh."
The little girl curled her lips in frustration and nodded: "I understand, Grandpa."
"good."
The old man nodded with satisfaction, looked at the groggy sky, and saw that it was going to rain heavily, so he said to the boss: "Boss, take two oil-paper umbrellas."
"okay!"
The boss was so happy that he sold three oil-paper umbrellas in a short time.
He wrapped the oil-paper umbrella.
The old man took the umbrella and took the little girl to walk into the mountains.
Soon, two figures, one large and one small, disappeared into the misty rain.
Only the conversation between the two people floated from a distance from time to time.
"Grandpa, why are you buying an umbrella?"
"Because it might rain heavily soon."
"Let's go back if it rains. Why do we have to go up the mountain?"
"Today is the day when all the Taoist priests of the Tianshi Mansion open their houses to chant Taoism. Grandpa will take you to experience it and polish your temperament."
"Then why don't we come back on this day next time?"
"Haha, you will start school then."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
"..."
The main peak of Longhu Mountain towers into the clouds, and Tianshi Mansion is located near the top of the main peak. If you walk up there with just two legs, even a professional mountaineer will have to climb it for two days and two nights.
Fortunately, there is a cable car!
An old man and a young child were sitting in the cable car, with a vast view. They watched the mountain peaks on both sides recede to both sides, and looked at the long green leaves all over the mountain forest. They felt extremely comfortable. The little girl's previous depression due to the mention of the start of school was relieved at this moment. Relax.
Soon, the cable car arrived at the end.
The end point is located fifty meters below Tianshi Mansion, but the surroundings are already shrouded in clouds and mist, as if you can reach out and touch the clouds above.
At this time, although the rain was not very heavy, there was already a layer of gray above the head, and the layers were stacked together, thick and depressing. From time to time, there were flashes of light that illuminated the dim sky, accompanied by dull thunder.
"Boom——"
"Boom——"
"..."
The old man raised his head and glanced at the sky, then opened the oil-paper umbrella for the little girl first, and then opened the umbrella for himself, saying: "Let's go, the rain is going to fall soon, let's try to do it before it rains hard. Arrive at Tianshi Mansion."
The remaining journey was not difficult to climb. He held the little girl's hand and climbed the steps step by step. After more than half an hour, he finally arrived at the square in front of Tianshi Mansion.
It just happened to be at this time.
A bolt of lightning that had been brewing for a long time successfully broke through the clouds and flashed through the air in a twisted manner.
“Boom——!!”
The crisp cracking sound was like the sound of the sky tearing apart.
The rain seemed to be unable to be contained anymore, and it poured down instantly!
"Grandpa, it's raining hard!"
The rain poured heavily on the umbrella, and the little girl felt like she could hardly hold the umbrella.
The old man couldn't help but smile, reached out and grabbed the head of her umbrella, helped her stabilize the umbrella, and said: "Well, we just happened to come up, let's go, go to the Tianshi Mansion to take shelter from the rain, wait for a while and say The elders sang."
"Uh-huh."
The little girl followed him towards the Tianshi Mansion not far away. She was at the age when she was very curious about everything in the outside world. Her big eyes turned around, looking here and there.
Sudden!
What did she see? Her big eyes opened a little wider. The confusion in her eyes flashed away and was replaced by surprise.
"Grandpa, grandpa, look, it's that strange big brother!"
"Weird big brother?"
The old man stopped and looked back in the direction the little girl was pointing.
Next to the square in front of the Tianshi Mansion, there is an open-air viewing platform about five or six meters high.
The tourists on the observation deck were in a hurry and walked down the mountain one after another.
There was only one man standing at the edge of the observation deck, holding an oil-paper umbrella, as if he was immobilized, motionless.
Very eye-catching!
Who else could it be if it wasn't Lin Beichen?
It's him?
Only then did the old man remember that the "strange big brother" his granddaughter talked about was the young man who bought the oil-paper umbrella at the foot of the mountain.
at this time.
"To the extreme of emptiness, stay still and sincere. All things are working together, and I will observe and recover them. Everything in the clouds returns to its roots. If you don't know the ordinary, you will do evil in vain. Know the eternal appearance, appearance is the public, public is the whole, the whole is the sky, and the sky is the way. , Dao Naijiu is dead..."
Loud and majestic chants sounded from the Tianshi Mansion.
Echoing on the top of the mountain.
He immediately looked away and looked at the little girl: "Grandpa saw it, let's go. The elder brother is there to watch the mountain scenery in the rain. It's time for us to go in and listen to the priests' praises."
On this side, the old man held the little girl's hand and walked into the Tianshi Mansion. On the other side, everyone around Lin Beichen had disappeared, and he was the only one left on the observation deck.
It's not that he doesn't want to go to the Tianshi Mansion to listen to the sermons of the Taoist priests, but at this moment, his consciousness can no longer control his body, and his mind is completely immersed in the scene in front of him.
Lin Beichen looked ahead.
Mountains and fields are endless.
It was pouring rain, like smoke and fog.
Clusters of light flashed through the thick gray clouds, and from time to time lightning split the clouds, flashing across the sky with claws and teeth.
…
All comes into view!
Watching and watching...
He was fascinated.
Crazy!
The next moment!
My empty mind is suddenly flooded with thoughts!
Lights of inspiration suddenly appeared in my mind, and there were bright spots everywhere!
What a mess!
He couldn't grasp any point, but he felt that the realization he wanted was at one of them. He was only missing that point, but it seemed to be missing the entire sea of stars!
"where is it?"
"what exactly is it?"
