Chapter Thirty-One

With the crackling sound of firecrackers, 1998 became the past, and a new year has arrived. I am sixteen years old and fourteen years old.

This year, many people who went out to work in the village did not come back, and the New Year atmosphere became much weaker. On the morning of the first day of the Chinese New Year, even Yutao and the others did not get up to pick up cannons, but followed the adults to pay New Year's greetings after breakfast.

Perhaps, we must say goodbye to our carefree childhood and experience the unique sorrow of adolescence.

The new year has passed…Spring is here.

This is a season of turmoil in everything, including people.

For the first time, I found that Lin Qingqing was a little strange and didn't know how to describe this feeling. It was still a simple ponytail, and there were two small acne on her round face. But in my eyes, she took off her thick winter clothes and became much lighter. Every move seemed to attract attention.

I was idle at home on Sunday afternoon, so I came to school early and found that the door in the class was not open after going upstairs.

Helplessly, I had to hold Ah Huang and wait at the door.

Before long, Lin Qingqing came. Knowing that there was no classroom and the door was not open, she suggested that we go to the top of the teaching building to play.

After laying out a newspaper, the two sat cross-legged.

Then Lin Qingqing took out a bag of jerky from her schoolbag and fed it to Ah Huang one by one. When she lowered her head, I had a small shallow mole behind Lin Qingqing's ears.

Above our heads, there are blue sky and white clouds, and a few herons fly by slowly.

The faint body fragrance unique to the girl penetrated into my nostrils, and ripples appeared in my heart. Lin Qingqing turned her head, and her long hair kept tugging over the back of my hand. For a moment, I felt like I wanted to reach out and touch it.

"Su Hao..." Lin Qingqing suddenly shouted.

"Well, what's the matter?" I asked back with some guilt.

"I found that your eyes were not honest..." Lin Qingqing muttered in an inauspicious voice.

Wuliang Tianzun!! I have been practicing Taoism for nearly two years. When I heard this, my face turned red and then I weakly defended: "Where is it?"

Neither of them spoke, and even Ah Huang remained silent.

Just as I was speculating whether she was angry, Lin Qingqing suddenly changed the topic: "I bought something for you. I bought it at the Qingtai Town Temple Fair in the morning, and it was open." On March 3, there was a temple fair in Qingtai Town. I thought it was too far away, so I didn't go there. Unexpectedly, Lin Qingqing fell away.

After saying that, she took out a string of wooden bead bracelets from her pocket.

The wooden beads are round and connected in series with a thin red line. I took them and put them on my hand. They are just right and perfect.

Then we were silent, neither of us spoke and sat there. Until the teaching building became lively again, the strange atmosphere between us disappeared.

I felt... Lin Qingqing didn't seem to be disgusted with me peeking at her.

During evening self-study, I pinched the wooden bead bracelet in my hand and moved it one by one. Although I didn’t feel any spiritual energy from this so-called lighted bracelet, an indescribable joy arose in my heart.

The joy lasted until the night, and it did not disappear when I started practicing.

I sat cross-legged on the rooftop, and with my breath, my mind was completely relaxed, and a trace of the heaven and earth energy flowed into the Nirvana Palace.

The breeze brings joy and the trees come back to spring. Tonight, the vitality in the sky seems to become mellow.

As I breathed deeper, I felt that the air flow in the Nirvana Palace quickly merged into the internal organs, and the blood veins all over my body seemed to be connected by an invisible thin line, integrated into one, indescribable comfort and relaxation.

Suddenly, I entered a wonderful state. The golden dragon scissors buzzed and vibrated, and the vital energy of the heaven and earth around me continued to gather, and penetrated the canopy and penetrated into the Nizhan Palace...

The rust on the surface of the clipping quickly subsided and was once again shrouded in dazzling golden light.

"Ao...!" Suddenly two mini golden dragons appeared in their minds, coiled and swung, cheering and no longer had the weakness of the past.

The golden dragon scissors finally recovered!! I stood up with joy, and a sentence came to my mind: "The dragon can be big and small, and can rise and hide; if it is big, it will rise and vomit fog, and if it is small, it will hide its shape; if it is rising, it will fly between the universe, and if it is hidden, it will lurk in the waves."

The golden dragon shears were restored, and under its traction, my spiritual consciousness also became wider.

Let go of your mind and extend along the energy of heaven and earth.

The entire teaching building, campus, and even the surrounding fields cannot escape my perception.

In the night, the grass took root and sprouted under the soil, and the peach trees quietly spit out buds. In the sky, an owl flapped its wings and fled, scaring the field squirting in a panic. Further away, the Liaoyang River flowed slowly, and laying fishes rose from time to time on the water...

Above the head, countless starlights dotted among them. Looking up, the spiritual consciousness continues to extend, but there is no end. The sky is high, the stars are vast, the depths are vast...

I suddenly realized that the world has universe, the sun and the moon have yin and yang. Once the beginning of one year, all things are renewed. All things in the world are born in spring, grow in summer, bear in autumn, and wither in winter.

The great way is natural, everything has its own trajectory, everything is like this, and people are like this.

Human feelings, Taoist feelings, ordinary hearts, desires... In fact, living in the world is a kind of practice. The highest good is like water, but water has no shape, so is the same in practicing Taoism. There are Taos everywhere and practice everywhere. Practicing Tao is not for the purpose of becoming an immortal, but for the normal heart and living according to one's original intention.

Good things happened these two days, and during the day, I still had a smile on my face.

Seeing that my face was constantly smiling, several classmates who were familiar with each other asked about anything happy.

I can only pretend to be profound: "It's not to be said, it's not to be said."

When I was meditating at night, I found that the speed of absorbing the vital energy of heaven and earth was more than twice as fast. The three balls of fire in the Yin God grew rapidly under the nourishment of vital energy, and before I knew it, it was approaching the peak of the three candles.

The days slowly returned to peace, and there was no major change in the class during this period. If so, Lin Qingqing and I seemed to have become in tune with each other.

Every Sunday afternoon, we would come to the school early. After we arrived at the rooftop, she would take out a bun of beef jerky to feed Ah Huang as usual, and I would take out walnuts, peanuts and other foods.

I originally thought that life would go on like this, but I never thought it would be broken soon.

We were taking math class that day, and the head teacher appeared quietly at the door. He shouted at me: "Su Hao comes out."

I walked out of the classroom with doubts, and when I arrived at the office, I realized that my mother was also there. This time she came back, she asked me to transfer to the county town, and my godfather had already found it for me.

"Mom, I don't want to study in the county town, it's great here." After my mother finished speaking, I immediately expressed my objection.

Although I fought hard, the opposition was ineffective. In our family, my mother did not express her opinions easily, and as long as she made up her mind, things rarely changed.

Then the head teacher began to persuade me, saying that the quality of teaching in the county is better, that there will be better development there, etc.

My parents, practicing Taoism, going to school... I kept intertwining several ideas in my mind, and finally I compromised. I am a monk, and even more so their son. My parents did this for me, and I cannot let them down.

Lin Qingqing...We can contact each other through letters. One year, she will also go to the county town to study in high school.

After school at noon, I quietly called out Lin Qingqing and told her the news that she was going to transfer to school. Lin Qingqing understood it very well and agreed to write a letter every month.

Then I went to Principal Zhao to say goodbye. After hearing the news that I was going to transfer to school, he just encouraged me to study hard.

When saying goodbye, Mr. Zhao sighed and finally taught me all the moves of Baguazhang.

One day, I was a teacher for the rest of my life, so I bowed respectfully to him, then turned my head and left.
