The group of people meandered up the mountain in the cold wind.

There is no mountain trail, no road that can lead directly to the top of the mountain.

But they could see the non-existent building complex on the top of the mountain, which was magnificent, with cornices and painted walls.

It seemed like it suddenly appeared overnight.

In my memory, this mountain is just a barren mountain with no buildings.

"Monk, Taoist..."

It’s so miraculous, how did it appear?

Why haven’t I heard the legend about Taoist priests before?

Everyone's thoughts were in turmoil. Some time ago, a Taoist priest appeared in Gewang Village, the next door village, but he was driven away by them in the end. The Taoist priest did not argue. If you want me to leave, I will leave. If you want to stay again, and

I'm gone.

Is this Taoist priest the same Taoist priest who appeared in Gewang Village before?

Wave your hand to take away the Taoist temple, and leave on the clouds...

So powerful!

"Everyone should be respectful..."

The leader, a middle-aged man in his fifties, said in a solemn tone: "We don't want to be like Ge Wangcun, who foolishly drove away such a powerful person."

Simply reciting the Tao Te Ching can restore sight to a severely disabled person's eyes, regenerate a broken arm, and regenerate the skin all over his body...

For such a person with great magical powers to stay in the village, there will definitely be only advantages and no disadvantages.

Continuing to climb the mountain, a faint voice came. It was soft and fluttering, but it was not very clear.

After climbing up the mountain road for a while, the voice gradually became clearer: "The Tao is a Tao, but it is not a permanent Tao..."

Tao Te Ching

They once listened to Dazhen's daughter-in-law Xiaofen reciting it many times in front of Dazhen's house. Although they could not recite it, they would know what scripture it was as long as they heard the content.

"A name can be named, but it is not a permanent name..."

The content of the Tao Sutra continued. The more they walked forward, the more they felt their bodies light up and full of strength.

An old man suddenly raised his head and looked at the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain. He vaguely saw a man sitting cross-legged in front of the Taoist temple. His face was white and beardless, and he looked about twenty years old.

Wearing a long robe and long hair, he looks like a man in ancient costume.

The man's eyes were closed tightly, his lips moved, and each word turned into a strange character. In the air, there was an inexplicable force that canceled each other out. Finally, the strange characters turned into golden light and fell into their bodies.

The old man felt himself in a state of ecstasy, and his body flew forward involuntarily.

Surpassing everyone, he landed in front of the Taoist temple.

The old man felt strange. When he stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the other people, some of them looked confused and panicked. They were walking and stopping, constantly changing directions. Some simply turned around and walked down.

Some stopped in place and stopped moving, their eyes filled with various colors.

Or greed, or lust...

"Come with me..."

Zhang Qingyun, who was sitting cross-legged, stood up and said softly.

The old man looked down the mountain. Everyone in the group had turned around and walked down the mountain, their faces full of confusion.

It seemed that he had no control at all, and he was guided by instinct as he walked down the mountain.

"You come here if you have a destiny, but if you don't, you can't enter this door."

Entering the Taoist temple, Zhang Qingyun said: "If they have fate, they will naturally be able to come here. Without fate, they cannot set foot here. What is your name..."

"I..."

Although the person in front of him looks very young, with a fair face and no beard, he gives off a calmness that has gone through many vicissitudes of life, and a kindness that makes people feel at ease at a glance.

Age seems to have no effect on him, and it is impossible to judge this person's age based on his appearance.

The old man panicked for a moment, feeling very awkward inside, but he couldn't explain it. He was in his sixties, but he was as helpless as a child: "My name is Ge Dashun, they all call me Big Pimple..."

Ge Dashun was never married, had no children, and was originally a lonely old man in the village.

Out of curiosity, he followed the crowd and climbed the mountain. Unexpectedly, he went up the mountain and entered the Taoist temple without knowing it.

The only person who entered the Taoist temple!

"Out of all the people in the village, you are the only one with a pure heart. Among more than a thousand people, you are the only one who has no desires or desires."

Zhang Qingyun looked at Ge Dashun. He was not tall and a little thin. He was in his sixties and his hair was a little gray.

His eyes are full of wisdom, but his face is full of honesty.

This is a story about the inner world of a wise and foolish man: "Although you have never practiced cultivation, your state of mind has already entered the Tao. You can see through everything, but you cannot see through a single word of love..."

"If you can decipher the word "love," you will truly have become a Taoist."

"Tell me your story."

Ge Dashun's face was full of confusion. Just the words of the Taoist priest in front of him encompassed his whole life.

He has seen through many things in his life, but the word love cannot break through him.

"That year..."

Ge Dashun fell into memories: "I will always remember that year, that day, that moment..."

"We've known each other since junior high school."

Ge Dashun told his story. When he was in junior high school, he had a crush on a female classmate.

At that time, Ge Dashun's academic performance was not good, but the girl he had a crush on had very good academic performance and ranked first in the class. Ge Dashun studied hard and finally they were admitted to the same high school.

At this time, Ge Dashun discovered that no matter how hard he studied, among the many subjects he studied, he still failed to pass one subject.

Seeing that he was in his second year of high school and the college entrance examination was getting closer, Ge Dashun became more and more anxious. He knew that in the school that girls were applying for, his grades were still low.

So Ge Dashun studied hard, and finally his hard work paid off, and Ge Dashun and she were admitted to the same university.

I applied for the same department.

Only then did Ge Dashun realize that they had been classmates for six years and had not spoken a word to each other.

That day, Ge Dashun mustered up the courage and said his first words to her: "Hi, fellow countryman..."

This sentence narrowed the distance between the two people, and they talked more and more, and later it evolved into going home together during the holidays, and the girl always helped him buy train tickets.

It was a simple era and an era open to them.

But... one day after walking out of the train station, the girl's parents saw the two people talking and laughing, and asked carefully about Ge Dashun's family situation. Finally, the girl's mother pulled the girl away.

The girl's father told Ge Dashun: You are not suitable and I hope you will stop interacting with her in the future.

Ge Dashun didn't know what he was thinking at that time, he just felt that his mind was blank.

Until he graduated from college, Ge Dashun was surprised to find that the girl he deliberately alienated was always by his side, working in the same unit and sitting in the same office as him.

He was ecstatic.

However...

At this time, the girl's belly was getting bigger, and the girl's husband happened to be Ge Dashun's immediate boss.

The past was like smoke. Ge Dashun left that place. He just wanted to be simple and let this life pass by.

Since there is no fate in the first half of my life, I won’t bother you in the second half of my life.

Leaving is a relief for both people.

"Some people say that it may only take three seconds to fall in love with a woman, but it may take a lifetime to forget a woman."

Ge Dashun did not continue to tell. His story was not tortuous or attractive at all, but this is the emotional world of a normal person: "I will spend my whole life forgetting her... I still can't forget her."

"If you have feelings in your heart, it may not be bad. If you have obsessions in your heart, you may not become a demon."

Zhang Qingyun suddenly smiled: "Ge Dashun, are you willing to practice with me?"

Ge Dashun was the first person Zhang Qingyun recognized.

Because they are all the same, hiding a past deep in their hearts that they never tell anyone.

There is always a figure dangling around.

Ge Dashun was stunned: "What are the benefits of practicing with you?"

"benefit?"

Zhang Qingyun smiled: "I don't know how many people are thinking hard and want to follow Pindao to practice, but you asked Pindao, what are the benefits of following Pindao?"

Ge Dashun nodded firmly.

"Cultivate immortality and become a flying immortal. Travel around the world, ride on the clouds and nine heavens. Swallow the essence of heaven and earth to nourish my inner organs and Dantian. Understand the laws of heaven and earth and transform my supreme divine essence..."

"Understand the various conditions of the human world, and establish my Dao in the human world. The way of heaven is elusive, and the methods of immortals and gods on earth..."
