"Haha, sir, you're awake!" Goatee stroked his beard and smiled at me.
The scenes in the fantasy just now made me on tenterhooks. I almost fell into the world of the painting and couldn't get out. I was so angry that I gritted my teeth. I immediately stood up and pointed at his nose and cursed: "You are such an insidious villain. You lured me into the fantasy world and almost let me go." Lose your mind and stay in the painting.”
After scolding him, he immediately shouted a mouthful of yellow phlegm in his face and broke it into pieces, "Tell me where you are from, or I want you to know how powerful I am!"
The goatee was not weak at all, but patiently poured me another cup of hot coffee, "Sir, don't blame me, please sit down first and listen to me tell you slowly."
I saw that he was calm and calm, and he didn't seem to have any ill intentions. He was always calm towards me, and he didn't even get angry when I spit on his face just now, so I guess he doesn't look like a bad guy. Even if he really is a bad guy, I'm confident that he can do it. Deal with him and sit down.
"Sir, I have long sensed that you are extraordinary. You must be a Taoist!"
A sudden thought occurred in my heart, and I became unnaturally alert, "Who is this person? He can actually guess my identity!"
Goatee smiled, brought the topic to the point, took a sip of coffee, and said, "Don't be surprised by this fellow Taoist. I didn't mean to offend you. The reason why I brought you into the painting is to train your mind."
I smiled disdainfully and said with a grin, "Huh, my character needs training from you. You have never seen what I am capable of."
Goatee waved his hand and began to preach to me, "Don't be crazy in your life. Even if you have profound Taoism and can kill demons and capture ghosts, it is difficult for you to transcend yourself. If you can overcome your inner fear, you can correctly view the thoughts in your heart." The future of that little Taoist friend will be limitless."
Listening to his confused beeping, I became a little impatient and said to him angrily: "Just say whatever you want. Why are you doing all this for me? Just say it directly. You're leading me into this." What is the purpose of the illusion?”
Goatee shook his head calmly, took another sip of coffee, and said slowly: "You are still too impatient. If you can get out of the illusion with your own willpower, you have succeeded! Haha, old man Congratulations to my son."
Only then did I realize that this middle-aged man with a goatee had no ill intentions toward me. What he had just done to me seemed to be training me.
I put my hands together and saluted him, and said, "Senior is an expert, please give me some advice."
"Haha!" Goatee finally smiled, "I didn't do anything to help you. You defeated yourself, otherwise you wouldn't be able to get out of the illusion in this painting."
Then, he stroked his beard and said: "As the saying goes, the fantasy comes from the heart. The fantasy you experience is also caused by your heart. In the early stage, you enter the painting and feel the experience of the person in the painting. In the later stage, you are attracted by the beautiful dream. Confused, trapped in nightmares, these are all what you hope for and fear in your heart. If you don't recognize yourself clearly, you will be lost in the false environment and cannot extricate yourself; if you fail to overcome your fear, then you can only Wandering in terror and fear forever. Do you understand, little Taoist friends?"
I admired the master in front of me very much, and quickly bowed and said: "Senior's trial and his words just now made this junior enlightened. Thank you for your guidance, senior."
"There is no point in giving advice. It is said that life is like a play, and play is like life. We Taoists are not just actors who play a role, acting in reality! Since you can enter the illusion in the painting, it means that you have a knot in your heart. If it is If you are destined to enter the illusion, but cannot open the knot in your heart, it will be a disaster. Maybe you are destined to be unable to get out of the illusion, but if you can get out of the illusion, it means that you have solved the knot in your heart. This journey to the illusion will be great for you. For me, it’s just an experience. Haha, the future life is scary.”
Goatee smiled, waved his hand to me and said, "My little fellow Taoist, you are humble. You have a high level of understanding and strong concentration. I really can't help you much! Now you have grown up and know how to cherish the people in front of you and recognize yourself." In the future, your mission will not be obsessed with glitz, and at the same time, you have overcome the fear in your heart and can fully display your strength."
I stood up, bowed deeply to him, and said with sincere gratitude: "Thank you sir for your advice. Since we are all of the same kind of people, I would like to introduce myself first. I am..."
Before I could finish speaking, Goatee made a stop gesture to me, and then said: "For so many years, I have been traveling all over the world with this ancient painting for thirty years, and I have never met anyone who can The person who enters the illusion in the painting. Are you the first person who can enter the illusion, or the one who can come out of the illusion intact. God's will, it is God's will, this painting is destined for you, I will give it to you, you will use it again in the future Get it." I gladly accepted the gift.
Goatee was excited and expressed his guess, "In my early years, I once preached with a Taoist master, the famous Taoist Fenglei Taoist. He is the most profound Taoist friend I know, and with him When he was preaching, he once told me that he had five proud disciples, four of whom were the most successful and had high hopes for him."
I already understood the meaning of the goatee Taoist priest, and answered: "I dare not hide it from my predecessors. Taoist Fenglei is my master. I am the fourth disciple of Taoist Fenglei, the 228th generation head of the Ji Dao Sect." People, Yang Sheng.”
Goatee was overjoyed, and asked me to toast with him, and drank the coffee in the cup together, "So you are Daoist Brother Fenglei's favorite disciple, I'm so happy to meet you! No wonder you are so sensitive to ancient paintings with spirits, You are indeed a rising star in Taoism. Since you can break through the shackles of illusion on your own, it shows your talent and ability. You will definitely achieve great things in the future."
I was a little embarrassed by this veteran's praise, so I humbly asked: "By the way, I dare to ask the senior for his Taoist number, so that I can come back for advice in the future."
"Haha, I don't dare ask for advice. I'm just an idle Taoist who travels all over the world. When it comes to Taoism, you are the best among the best. Although I am a Taoist, I rarely dabble in Taoism. I only like to travel in the mountains. Just playing with water and collecting rare treasures in the world. Fellow Taoist Yangsheng, you have great abilities and great responsibilities. You will be very busy in the future."
After saying that, the goatee Taoist priest was about to leave the box, saying that he wanted to go to the toilet for a while, but I still refused to give up asking him for his Taoist number.
He only left one sentence: "The three strange ways of Kyushu are refining alchemy, forging swords and hunting for treasures."
"Alchemy, sword-making and treasure hunting." I hesitated for a while, "Treasure hunting, treasure hunting Taoist."
"Bang, bang, bang!" A rapid knock on the door sounded. When she opened the door, she saw Deng Wanwan.
"Yang Sheng, you said you'd be here in a minute. Look what time it is. The next stop is Zhangjiajie."
But I hid my face and smiled and said, "I'm sorry, let's go back to our seats to pack our things and prepare to get off."
