Chapter 7 The Secret
The people are afraid of officials.
This unchanging attitude, no matter what kind of official you are, the authority that this identity itself gives it is the root of the awe of the people.
When they heard that the Guan family really took action, the people at the scene seemed to be wronged, and the wronged people found a psychological support, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, the words of the old Taoist make people panic, whether they believe it or not, many people are somewhat shaken.
The people are afraid of officials, but they also trust the answers given by the officials from the bottom of their hearts. After all, it also represents an authority.
Therefore, the officials took action to capture people, and the old Taoist words must be unbelievable.
Nie Dashi was originally doing errands in the government office, and the few people who came to pick up the people were also familiar with each other. When he turned around, he was about to say hello, but he heard a loud shout in the crowd.
This shocked his originally uneasy heart again.
When I turned around, I saw the old Taoist who was originally in front of me flashing and penetrated into the crowd. Wherever I passed, the crowd avoided and shouted, but in the messy situation, I couldn't see the old Taoist figure clearly.
When the official servants who were taking people from the official family squeezed into the crowd, where could they still see the old Taoist?
"This mad Taoist must have left in the chaos."
"That's not. If this person has a clear conscience, what should he hide when he sees the official officer?"
People were talking a lot, but no one could see how the old Taoist escaped? The content of the discussion was nothing more than to prove that the old Taoist was a witch that confuses the public.
When he saw an acquaintance, Dashi Nie must not say hello.
But when he thought of the crazy Taoist's eyes, he felt uneasy, but he was well concealed. His identity was destined to reveal that he had no idea of the crazy Taoist.
There was no excitement to watch, and the crowd quickly dispersed.
Zhang Xiucai, the most educated person in the town, became more famous through this matter invisibly.
Those officials who took the people were not allowed to search the town for some time, but naturally they could not hold on to them. But soon the government office published something similar to an official announcement, which was the general idea that there was a demonic way of confusing people's hearts and bad intentions, so that everyone would not be confused by evil words.
This undoubtedly gave the people in the town another reassurance, and the storm left by the crazy old Taoist quickly passed.
But if there are sensitive people, they will find that two or three households have been moved away from the town, one of which is the town who delivers children and occasionally jumps to the great master, treats people's illnesses.
This made people who were aware of it for a while, mainly because if the town says that if the delivery is the only one in Widow Li is the best in craftsmanship, why did he move quietly?
But people deliberately do not think about the mad old Taoist's evil words, and people have the instinct to escape.
These are all later stories.
Let’s talk about it, that day, after the crowd dispersed, Dashi Nie had nothing to do, so he had to go home with all his heart.
From the bottom of his heart, he was unwilling to believe the words of the crazy old Taoist. They were all ordinary people and were more willing to believe in the official attitude.
However, the look of the crazy old Taoist falling on him made him unable to escape, and he always felt a illusion of thrilling, even changing the world, and experiencing time.
"Can you really have masters in this world?" Thinking of this, Dashi Nie couldn't help but murmur. When he was a child, he had never heard of one or two bizarre legends in the folk countryside.
But no matter how true the legend is, it is a legend after all, isn’t it?
"Who can say that I am a master without breaking away from it? For example, what I do in the town today is also a matter of ordinary hearts?" A voice suddenly interrupted Nie Dashi's contempt to himself.
It was originally a remote alley, and it was almost dark at this time. How could a sudden sound not be shocked by Dashi Nie?
"Who?" Nie Dashi couldn't help but shout.
But I saw a figure walking from the other end of the alley, with calm and elegant steps and calm demeanor in the world. At first glance, it was only a character who could have such a demeanor, but he could not pretend.
After a closer look, it wasn't that crazy old Taoist, who was it? At this time, he didn't look crazy. I'm afraid that the biggest official in the town would have to be several shorter when he walked with him.
If this image was used to tell the people of the town about the evil disaster, would there be more people who believed it?
Nie Dashi was a little stunned, but the Taoist walked in front of him in a flash. His steps seemed to be calm step by step, but how could he be so fast?
"This kind of thing is related to you, your youngest son, and has a great relationship. Take it to save his life." As he spoke, something was stuffed into Nie Dashi's hands.
Nie Dashi's back sweated, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and couldn't help asking: "Master, what are you..."
He wanted to ask you whether you are a human or a ghost? After all, if you are a human, how could you have such a erratic speed? It would be too magical to come to your face in a blink of an eye.
The old Taoist turned around and wanted to leave, but when he heard Nie Dashi's question, he suddenly stopped and did not turn around for a while.
This made Nie Dashi very frightened, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he couldn't help but wipe it away with his sleeves.
But unexpectedly, the old Taoist turned around at this time and blinked at Dashi Nie: "If it is a ghost, how can you see the shadow? How can you touch it? Are you going to pull my beard?"
"Ah?" His words were like a child, but they did not look as calm as a master just now? This change made Nie Dashi unable to react.
"Hahahaha." The old Taoist laughed loudly, his figure was floating, and he was about to walk to the exit of the alley again.
Nie Dashi quickly took a look at the things in his hand, but it was a bronze mirror, the other as smooth as a mirror, brighter than his wife's dressing mirror.
The other side looks a bit rough, covered with patterns that are invisible to Nie Dashi.
"Master Taoist, how should this bronze mirror be used?" Nie Dashi himself did not think about it carefully, why did he seem to believe the old Taoist's words?
"Just just hang it in the middle of the gate." The old Taoist stopped and explained.
This conversation made Nie Dashi less nervous. He couldn't help but ask: "Master, after several conversations, Xiaodi didn't think that the Taoist priest was the one who was so witchy. Ruo... Ruo was really a demonic disaster. If the people in this town don't believe it, why didn't the Taoist priest save him?"
"Do you really want to know?" Nie Dashi said this with courage. He didn't expect to get an answer, but his whole body tightened again during the question.
But I didn't expect that the old Taoist really answered Nie Dashi.
Facing the old Taoist's inquiry, Nie Dashi nodded. Under the night sky and in the moonlight, his eyes were full of curiosity and yearning.
The appearance of the old Taoist undoubtedly opened another window to his life and saw an unknown world.
"First, my reminder is contrary to God's will. If someone can listen to me and move out of this town, it is his (her) blessing, but it is the cause and effect I will have to pay in the future, because the secret of heaven cannot be revealed. Second, if I take action, the consequences will be even more serious. Sometimes what exists in this world is not straightforward fighting, but more mutual restraint. Do you understand?" The old Taoist's words were straightforward and simple, but quite meaningful.
Nie Dashi stood there in a daze, thinking that he could understand the profound meaning of the old Taoist words, and didn't know how to say it.
The old Taoist was not in a hurry to leave, but just looked at Nie Dashi in a steady manner to see how he thought.
Being the only scholar in the village, Nie Dashi is smart. After thinking about it, he probably understood five or six points of the old Taoist words. He couldn't help but say: "The young one can probably understand some of the truths! But God wants to perish, and the life of such a town is just..."
Dashi Nie did not dare to say what he said later.
"Isn't it unfair? Isn't it?" The old man's expression became serious.
But this is what Nie Dashi meant, and he couldn't help but focus on Zheng. Who can bear to see the life of a town going to perish? Is the way of heaven unkind?
"In this world, some are born rich princes, while others are down-and-out beggars. Some are free and live long, while others are born for many disasters and die at a young age. No matter the natural disaster, no matter the disaster of water and fire, the difficulties of the mountains, how many lives have been taken, do you think it is a master or an unfair?"
Nie Dashi bowed, he couldn't speak!
Yes, why are they all humans, but the fate is so big? Who dares to say justice?
"Actually, it is because of the suffering of reincarnation. It is destined to be able to look at the step in front of you... The process of tempering a heart is repeated, and it is not clear for a day. Maybe today's princes and nobles were the poor old man who did good deeds all his life, today's long-lived old man, yesterday's child who was destined to be sacrificed when he was born? Can you see clearly? God has no injustice, but according to the rules, you can get as much as you have divided with you? Today or give you a little less, and tomorrow you will give you more, everyone is the same. Of course, the difference is that like a child in the school, you are obedient, perform well, and study hard, and the teacher will praise you... In God's opinion, it is because you are kind today, so give more rewards. God is very fair." The old Taoist said very seriously every word.
However, Nie Dashi was shocked by the remarks.
I was both suspicious and confused in my heart, but if I believed it completely, it would be impossible! Because this has subverted Nie Dashi's life, and even the vague and nothing can be found.
"Then this town?" But he still couldn't forget this town. Since the old Taoist knows why...
People's hearts are always entangled in this, because sometimes people's hearts can only see in front of them.
"If I tell you that this town should have experienced three wars and escaped inexplicably, what do you think? I can only say this, this is the fate of the people in the town! I was worried about it, but the people were kind, but God's will and fate... all I can do is this." After saying this, it seems that I will no longer say it.
But Dashi Nie was really sweating soaked in his clothes. Should this town have experienced three wars?
