The tin house is enshrined in Sanqing!

After entering the tin house, as soon as I turned around, I saw an offering table, and behind the offering table, there were three standard portraits of the Three Qings.

Therefore, I didn't have time to say anything to the middle-aged and old man, and the first action was to hold the Taoist salute and respectfully worship the Sanqing, and everyone who followed me, as long as they were Taoist people, all respectfully visited the Sanqing.

The rules of Taoism are very few compared to other religions, but it is absolutely not feasible to see the ancestor and not worship.

After everyone respectfully finished the ceremony, the middle-aged man looked at us much more kindly, and at this time he no longer spoke to us in English, but changed to Chinese that is more standard than Wal-Mart, and asked us: "You are also Taoists?" Then, he looked at Walmart in even more surprise: "Even you?" ”

"Of course." Wal-Mart has a proud expression that I am a Taoist family!

"I didn't expect that there was a Taoist temple hidden in the slums of Raipur, which really surprised me." In the face of the surprise of this middle-aged man, I also expressed my own amazement.

But when I said this, it made him wonder: "Didn't your elders show that Johnny is a Taoist when they guide you to Johnny?" You'll be surprised by this? ”

"Our elders really didn't say anything, she just said let's come to India to find Johnny." When answering this question, I was slightly embarrassed, if it were normal people, I am afraid that we would be suspicious, we don't know anything about Johnny, and we don't even know what to do when we come to Johnny, isn't it worth doubting?

But the middle-aged man didn't show much of it, but took out a low table and threw out a few futons in this relatively clean tin house, with good lighting and ventilation, and let us sit down.

We soon sat in a circle around the low table, and Wal-Mart's eyes were quickly attracted by the low table, he stared at the low table for a long time, and suddenly exclaimed: "This is a cultural relic of China, this wood is Huanghuali, this workmanship should be the furniture made by the Qing Dynasty officials, right?" If you take out this dwarf table and sell it, you won't live in the slums? ”

The middle-aged man didn't react to Wal-Mart's exclamation, but I didn't doubt Wal-Mart's professional vision at all, in fact, one of the most important aspects of their family's industry was about cultural relics, and the scope was all over the world! The reason why Wal-Mart became a Taoist disciple was because of the opportunity brought by his father's addiction to Chinese antiques.

So, this middle-aged man still has a lot of secrets hidden in him? Thinking about it this way, I look at him with a little more inquiry.

But this middle-aged old man not only completely ignored Wal-Mart, but also completely ignored me, after we sat down, he just took the bottle of wine that he didn't let go just now, took a big sip of it, and then sighed with satisfaction: "The taste of liquor, the taste of China!" When it comes to strong and mellow liquor, there is only Chinese liquor. ”

As he spoke, there was a look of nostalgia in his eyes, and it took a long time before he said: "I really didn't expect that you could get this wine, maybe this means that I can't hide from fate." No matter how suspicious you may be, since I brought you in," he paused for a moment, and then said, "Tell me, who are your elders?" Whether you can see Johnny or not, this is very important. ”

As he spoke, he took another sip of wine, and his face still had that nostalgic and yearning look.

I instinctively felt that I couldn't hide it from this man, so I said to him, "Let's come to your elder, named Jennifer." ”

'Poof', as soon as my words fell, the middle-aged man who happened to pour a sip of wine in, I don't know why the reaction was so intense, that he squirted out all the wine in his mouth in one sip, and then coughed continuously.

We looked at each other again, was there something wrong?

After coughing for a long time, the middle-aged man wiped his mouth, looked up and said, "You mean Jennifer, which Jennifer?" If this woman is not a Chinese woman, you don't ask me, if she is, please tell me her Chinese name. ”

I naturally know Sister Jenny's Chinese name, although the old man's question is strange, I didn't think about it at all, and then said solemnly: "Ling Xinyan." ”

The middle-aged man coughed violently, but the look on his face was the one he had expected to be this, so why did he react so violently?

We waited patiently until his bellows-like cough had subsided, and then I asked, "Looks like you know Sister Jenny, so we can see Johnny?" ”

I thought he would go around in circles or ask us something, but after taking a sip of wine, he said to us, "Okay, after meeting Johnny, will I ask you about your identity?" ”

"And we'll leave now?" This guy Wal-Mart was more anxious than those of us involved, as if he would be able to fulfill his dream of a Taoist hero in the next moment.

"No need to go, I'm Johnny." As he spoke, the old man's eyebrows showed a hint of bitterness, and he poured himself a large sip of wine.

"You're Johnny?" I had great doubts, for I never thought that this old man would lie to me, and his eyes made me believe that he was an honest man.

"Do you think I lied to you?" The old man glanced at me, then suddenly stood up and walked towards one of the walls of the tin house, where a black cloth hung on it, and it was very clean, and I was curious, but I thought about the privacy that belonged to others, so I didn't ask too much.

In the process of walking over, the old man spoke: "Actually, I said that it is not Johnny, I really didn't lie to you, I now have a very common name, called Singh, you can also call me like other people in the slums, rotten Singh, devil Singh I don't mind, Johnny's name is just once." ”

As he spoke, the old man took another sip of wine, which made me have to admire his good amount of wine, and drank half a bottle of Wuliangye in this way, and his hand had already stayed on the black curtain while speaking, and suddenly opened a corner of the black curtain.

And behind this curtain, there are photos, neatly arranged with more than a dozen photos.

These photos are black and white, and they look a little old, and the protagonist in the photos is a young relative who looks extraordinary and elegant, he is wearing gorgeous clothes, and his eyebrows and eyes are full of spirit.

Although it is already a thing or a person, we can probably still recognize that the young man in the photo is the middle-aged and old man standing in front of us, but the contrast is too strong, so we dare not recognize each other for a while, but Wal-Mart exclaimed, couldn't help but step forward, and looked at those photos carefully.

The middle-aged man didn't speak, but stroked the photos with his bruised hands and whispered, "This is me when I was young, and my name was Sharma at that time." ”

"Sharma?" Wal-Mart, who was carefully looking at the picture next to Johnny, was shocked, and then said, "I always said how familiar you are, are you that Absekko. Sharma? Heaven, the noble son of God, with the purest Brahmin blood, claimed to be the religious genius Sharma closest to God? ”

"Are these important?" Johnny was noncommittal, only replied vaguely.

"Only Sharma can wear a sacrificial garment of this level! You must be! Wal-Mart was incoherent, then patted his head again and said, "No, no, how can it be?" So how old are you? But what does it matter how old you are? How old the is my master? This cannot be viewed from a secular perspective. ”

Wal-Mart was incoherent there, but he inadvertently revealed a secret that Johnny might be too old for Wal-Mart to let out such an exclamation.

We watched this dramatic shift and didn't know what to say.

Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas have spent some time in India, and we still know some about the Indian caste system, and we also know that Brahmins and Kshatriyas are higher castes and aristocrats in India, and although they have entered the modern society, such a caste system is still strong in India.

I don't know what to say, how could the noblest brahmin be exiled to the slums and live such a life? What's more, he is still the so-called son of God! Or, Sister Jenny is asking us to listen to Johnny's story? 、

In the face of Wal-Mart's fuss, Johnny was much calmer, he just calmed Wal-Mart down, and then said: "It's been too long ago, I don't remember it, this wall is the trace of my life, look at it in my spare time!" I just admire that you know so much about history, even for someone like me who is just a flash in the long river of time, you can still know it. ”

"How could I not know." Wal-Mart said loudly again: "Although I am a Taoist, I should have some respect for you, and I apologize for my previous words and deeds." ”

"It doesn't matter, in fact, Sharma's identity is not worth missing too much, the real joy is the days when I am Johnny! Jenny still calls me Johnny, but in my heart, I know I'm not anymore. As he spoke, Johnny pulled back a little black cloth.

After the black cloth, a new photo appeared, still black and white, but much clearer than the previous photos.

In the photo, it is a mature and stable Johnny, but the elegance is still the same, he is wearing a neat old-fashioned suit, and there is a Western girl standing next to him, very beautiful!

With a 'brush', Johnny pulled on the black cloth, then turned to us and said, "Okay, I've confirmed that I didn't lie to you, I'm Johnny, yes, you saw me, so who are you?" How did you get involved with Jennifer? ”
