68. Strange Taoist priest

Behind Bu Suanzi's hands was a thick and long black stick, which was not only black and shiny, but also looked extremely heavy, because wherever the stick passed, a deep mark was drawn on the ground, which was deeper than the ruts of ordinary vehicles.

Yao Guangqi followed behind, walking very puzzled. The old Taoist priest was walking around, but in fact he didn't walk along any road. He walked all the rugged mountain roads.

When the two stopped, Yao Guangqi realized that the master actually took him around the bottom of the top of the mountain.

Bu Suanzi turned around and said to Yao Guangqi: "From tomorrow, you run along the line you just drew, running once a day in the morning and evening, running five laps each time, and you are not allowed to eat if you can't finish running."

Yao Guangqi frowned tightly. This lane is at least five miles away. It takes 30 miles to run after five lanes. It is more than one hundred miles twice a day. Oh my God, what is this old Taoist priest doing?

Yao Guangqi's confusion is still behind. Bu Suanzi is indeed a very strange old Taoist. In addition to letting Yao Guangqi run around the mountains every day, the way of preaching scriptures is also very special, because he doesn't say it at all. Every noon, he just calls Yao Guangqi to memorize the "Tao Te Ching" for Yao Guangqi. Yes, he just recites it, but never explains it. Whenever Yao Guangqi asks questions because he doesn't understand, Bu Suanzi always closes his eyes and says nothing. Sometimes Yao Guangqi really wonders whether this old Taoist does not understand the true meaning of the scriptures.

There was something even more strange. On the first night when Yao Guangqi ran to the mountain, Yao Guangqi, who had run five laps, sat on the ground. At this time, the setting sun, Yao Guangqi couldn't help but feel sleepy and was about to fall asleep in a daze. When Bu Suanzi came over, Yao Guangqi heard the voice and opened his eyes. He happened to see a hole in the corner of Bu Suanzi's Taoist robe. The Taoist robe was blown by the wind, and the hole in the corner of the robe shook back and forth, which looked very funny. Bu Suanzi didn't pay attention to the eyes of his apprentice, but just sneered and sarcastically said: "I'm so tired after running just a few steps. It's really a waste of time." Yao Guangqi stood up with his legs, but he didn't expect that his legs were weak and he couldn't stand firm. Bu Suanzi held Yao Guangqi up with nothing, and carried Yao Guangqi back and forth.

The next morning, when Bu Suanzi got up, he found that Yao Guangqi was already preparing to run to the mountain in the yard. When Yao Guangqi saw his master go out, he smiled and said to Bu Suanzi: "Master, I have repaired the hole in the corner of your clothes for you."

When Bu Suanzi heard it, he looked down and noticed that the hole in the Taoist robe was indeed repaired. The old Taoist suddenly became furious, pulled the Taoist robe down, threw it hard on the ground, and stepped on it several times. Yao Guangqi was dazed, and was stunned. Bu Suanzi suddenly jumped to Yao Guangqi and slapped it. He was slapped on the back of Yao Guangqi's head. Yao Guangqi almost fainted. Before he could raise his hand to rub it, the old Taoist priest kicked him again. The speed of this kick was faster. Yao Guangqi didn't react and felt a kick in the butt.

"Who asked you to fill in the hole?" Bu Suanzi asked Yao Guangqi angrily.

Yao Guangqi felt very wronged. He was obviously kind-hearted, but why would he get beaten? He rubbed the back of his head with one hand and rubbed his butt with the other hand, "I saw you on your Taoist robe yesterday..."

Bu Suanzi interrupted Yao Guangqi without hesitation: "There are so many incomplete things in the world, can you make up for it? There are holes in the world, can you make up for it?"

Bu Suanzi's words made Yao Guangqi even more confused. He thought about it for a while, but he didn't know what to say, but he heard the master shouting loudly: "What are you stunned? Run away."

Bu Suanzi is more than that. This old Taoist priest often stands in the yard without combing his hair or washing his face after getting up in the morning. Sometimes Yao Guangqi thinks that the old Taoist is in a daze, but sometimes he sees the old Taoist seemingly muttering something. Sometimes Yao Guangqi can't help but ask, but the old Taoist doesn't say anything.

After running for a few days, Bu Suanzi suddenly told Yao Guangqi that he would not have to run away today and would take him to a place. After that, Yao Guangqi saw his master Bu Suanzi carefully dressed up for the first time, and washed his face very seriously. He wore the Taoist crown and robe neatly, and then took Yao Guangqi out.

When he walked out of the yard, Yao Guangqi noticed that the two were walking towards the Taoist temple. Yao Guangqi's judgment was correct. Bu Suanzi did take him to the Taoist temple. This time, the two did not walk through the small gate of the backyard, but went straight to the front mountain gate. Yao Guangqi had never walked through the mountain gate. Standing on the bottom step, he looked up. The mountain gate was magnificent and majestic, with a fairy spirit. There was a large rectangular plaque directly above the main gate of the mountain gate. There were only two large characters in small seal script on the plaque. Yao Guangqi recited the Taoist Ching with his master every day these days. At a glance, he knew that these two words came from the sentence "The beginning of all things, the mother of all things" in the Taoist Ching. The magnificent architecture and the classic and mysterious names, coupled with the melodious bell sounds from the view, Yao Guangqi's pious heart suddenly arose.

Bu Suanzi seemed very natural, so he just gently brushed his Taoist robe under the steps, then raised his feet up with a serious look on his face.

Two young Taoist priests were sweeping the floor outside the mountain gate. When the two Taoist priests saw Bu Suanzi coming, they hurriedly bowed and bowed. After the ceremony, one of them turned around and ran into the mountain gate.

Soon, the master and apprentice had just climbed the top stairs and came to the slow platform in front of the door. They saw two Taoist priests hurried out from the gate, and the one behind them was the little Taoist priest who had just run back to report the message.

Yao Guangqi's eyes immediately focused on the Taoist priest walking in front, because this Taoist priest was very interesting. This was a lame Taoist priest in his forties, but the interesting thing was not his lame leg, but his Taoist crown. The Taoist priest was worn with a crooked crown, but the tilted Taoist priest cooperated with the steps of one high and one low, and it just showed a straight and one slanted effect when walking. However, this Taoist priest was more interesting than this. The Taoist priest was holding a black stick in his hand. The stick was about four feet long. At first glance, it seemed like a cane, but Yao Guangqi thought that this stick was very similar to the big black stick when the master set the route for himself a few days ago. It was just a comparison.

The stick looked short and thin. However, Yao Guangqi noticed that the Taoist priest had never touched the ground along the way, and the way the Taoist priest took the stick was very interesting. He did not hold any end of the stick, but held it one-third of the stick, just like holding a sword, a black stick that was not slippery, and actually felt like a peerless sword. What's even more strange is that the Taoist priest's shoes were actually black and white, and the black and white were clearly very eye-catching. What's more strange was the socks in the shoes, and the socks were also black and white, but the black and white socks were the opposite color of the shoes. Black shoes were paired with white socks, black socks with white shoes, and both shoes actually had a hole.
