Chapter 53: The Maze

"Isn't it shameful enough to put your pants on?" My dad yelled next to me, I guess he wanted to beat me, and I couldn't do it anymore when I looked like this. (You can find this site)

I endured the pain and lifted my pants, it was so hot that it hurt to rub my pants, but I had to stand honestly, because Old Man Jiang wanted to educate me.

"Looking at this scroll, it is obvious that the traces of this red pen are different, and the handwriting is not the same, and I don't want to say more about the rest. Wait a minute, you go and get a brush, right on this table, write 200 of your names with a brush, do you hear? Old man Jiang said.

I'm bitter in my heart, I don't say anything after playing, which means that I have to be punished for writing? 200 names, how many words do you have?

"If you don't finish it, you won't be allowed to eat, and I have to tell you that if you just show me the paper that you didn't do well today, you will only be beaten ten times, and then punished for writing fifty times. If you can honestly tell me that you will work hard in the future and let me see how you perform, then you will either not be beaten, but will only be punished fifty times. Why are you beaten like this? First, it's because of deception. Second, it is because they dare not face their mistakes. What is deception? It is a defect in character, and a person with a defect in character will pay the price in the end, even if he is lucky enough to succeed for a while. As for not daring to face mistakes, that is, not daring to bear cause and effect, what cause you planted, you have to bear what effect, just like if you don't study seriously, you have to bear the consequences of not doing well in the exam, don't bear it, evade, and the matter will only be reported to you more heavily, just like if you take 50 bamboo chips, you have to write your name 200 times. Old man Jiang said to me slowly, word by word.

The words are not profound, he just wants me to understand the truth of this, he beat me as a 'fruit' of my own making, because there is a 'bad deed' of deception in the middle, so the retribution is even more serious!

In the end, my dad didn't beat me after all, and I honestly wrote Chen Chengyi with a brush book on the stone table.

At this time, the parents of the crispy meat came with the crispy meat, and it was very simple, and the fact that the crispy meat was also found to have changed the score.

Just kidding, what a shrewd person the crispy meat, the account of the family's food and clothing is even finer than any other, let's finish eating, just look at the crispy meat rolls if it's okay, and the result is a pair of wrong points, a little more alive.

On closer inspection, the color of the score was wrong, so the crispy meat was exposed, and so, under the threat of not being able to eat, I, a brave 'Red Army soldier', was sold by the traitor of crispy meat, so a family of three came to the door to complain.

My father's anger was provoked again, and he didn't beat me, but scolded me for being a bloody dog, and my master was more direct, and threw a sentence, teaching people to misbehave, and was punished for writing fifty times.

And I scolded the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the crispy meat in my stomach, you crispy meat, what do you say you need? 81 has to be changed to 87, you are looking for excitement, and I was beaten more 'fat', not to mention, and I was gloriously dragged into the water again!

***!

After that, my behavior was set up by Old Man Jiang with a 'tight spell', the first is not to deceive, the second is to be open, the third is not to harm others in everything, and the fourth is to do things must have principles, and the principle is limited to my own determination, but I must not do evil, and I cannot be self-centered in everything, that is, I can't be selfish in everything.

Old man Jiang said: "You are a person who wants to cultivate the Tao, I don't care about others, but those who cultivate the Tao here must first establish virtue, virtue is the foundation, and those who do not have virtue are like houses without foundations, even if they cultivate to heaven one day, they will have to fall." ”

I don't understand these words, but I'm afraid that Old Man Jiang will clean me up, so I have to be obedient, saying that it is better to forcibly regulate my behavior, or to let me not go down the crooked road in advance, but Old Man Jiang has always grasped the key point of education as soon as possible, and has erected my personality, which is basically a criterion for me to do things in the future.

In addition, there is another decision that made me 'burst into tears', in the future, my test scores will be based on Liu Chunyan, and no subject can be lower than 10 points from others. Otherwise, hum

I think I can safely meet and exceed this standard except for sports

I scolded my mother in my heart, and finally erected Liu Chunyan as the first 'enemy' in my life.

Three days after this incident, I went up the mountain, and finally went up the mountain, the old man Jiang came back for so long, from the first day he said that he would accept me as an apprentice, and now, I Chen Chengyi is going to officially worship the master.

I can't blame Old Man Jiang for this, and I can't blame it, who would have predicted that so many things have happened since Old Man Jiang came back? And to this day, there is still a hungry ghost tomb in the countryside.

Entering the teacher depends on the day, the old man Jiang is a person who does not pay attention to these, he thinks that there is a certain number in his life, and he can't run away or lose it, but in the matter of getting started, the old man Jiang attaches great importance to it, and it is not exempt from vulgarity.

As soon as he was busy that day, he came to tell my dad about his day, but he broke into me to correct the papers, which can be regarded as giving me a moral lesson before getting started.

The initiation ceremony was going to take me to the mountain to complete, and he said that there was a temporary retreat for him on the mountain, which was built not long after he came to this place many years ago, and was slowly perfected.

After coming back this time, I probably cleaned up and used it as a place for the entrance ceremony.

"This time, I'll just take the three babies to go, and I'll send him back at night, but after tonight, after the three babies come to live with me every day after school, and live at home on Saturdays and Sundays, and on weekdays, you can also go up the mountain to see him, and I will tell you how to go to me." This is what Old Man Jiang said to my family before taking me up the mountain to get started.

At that time, my mother's tears fell, and my father and my two sisters didn't look good, so I couldn't bear it.

Fortunately, my eldest sister's hearty personality played a role at this time, saying: "The mountain is behind our village, so close, you can go to see it every day if you want to, and we still have students living in school in junior high school, so we will live in school as my younger brother." ”

At this point, my parents suddenly felt better in their hearts, and happily sent me and Old Man Jiang out of the house, all the way to the foot of the mountain.

Then the old man Jiang took me up the mountain, there is still a road over the mountain, in fact, it can't be called a road, it can only be said to be a relatively clear road, but it is only used to climb the mountain, and it is absolutely impossible to walk the mountain.

As I said, this mountain range is not high, but it is endless, typical of Sichuan hilly terrain.

After walking on that avenue for a short time, Old Man Jiang took me into a relatively remote path, which was not so easy to walk along the road, but Old Man Jiang walked very easily.

The trail walked for about ten minutes, and at a turning downward intersection, Old Man Jiang took me to turn upward, and there was a vague road.

Ordinary people would never have imagined that under this kind of terrain, there is still a way up.

After walking along the hidden path for less than 5 minutes, I saw a lush bamboo forest, which was different from the gloomy bamboo forest in the cemetery, and this bamboo forest gave people a feeling of freshness and handsomeness, which made people feel very comfortable to see.

"Bamboo, a plant that is hollow, is destined to nourish its aura, and it is no better to raise shade, and it can also form this kind of peaceful 'potential' in a quiet and peaceful environment, and then it is calm." Old man Jiang said casually.

I nodded, and I had a new understanding of bamboo in my heart, and it turned out that the same thing would have completely different effects and results in different environments.

This shows that it is not about the object itself, but about the original intention of the person who holds it.

A bamboo forest can be made into a place for cultivating yin by people with a heart, or it can be made into a place of meditation by people with a heart.

The mountain breeze blew, carrying the fragrance of grass and trees, and at this time, I also heard the sound of gurgling water, and my heart unconsciously rushed to cool comfort and tranquility.

When he was about to walk into the bamboo forest, Old Man Jiang's expression suddenly became serious: "Sanwa'er, how to go in this bamboo forest, you have to take care of it, I am not responsible for getting lost in the future, you can spend the night in this bamboo forest." ”

I was a little dissatisfied, and said loudly: "Master, I'm not a rice bucket, can I still walk out of a bamboo forest?" ”

Old man Jiang glanced at me and said, "I have set up some small formations in this bamboo forest, I won't tell you how to leave, you really can't walk in, unless you are lucky enough to break in." ”

"Formation?" I don't know anything about these things, I always feel that it's just a bamboo forest, what kind of formation can I really stop people?

"It's not a very magical formation, it's easy to break, just cut down all the bamboos here. It's just that Taoism pays attention to Qing cultivation, and making a formation is just to prevent disturbance or others from breaking in by mistake, since you want to be my disciple, you will also learn the formation, now follow me, it's just a gadget, go well, it's good to remember. After the old man Jiang finished speaking, he took the lead in entering the bamboo forest.

Thanks to his reminder, I quickly followed into the bamboo forest.
