I am going to live forever in the world of mortals

Chapter 29 Gambler!

Three days passed in a flash...

On the cold mountain path, Wang Binggui climbed up the stairs and went up the mountain.

He looks about thirty or so, looks ugly, walks like a fool, and often looks around, looks very guilty.

Wait until Taixu Guanshan Gate...

Seeing that the gate of the mountain was wide open, he looked left and right, and he seemed to be looking for something valuable, and took it away when he returned.

He cautiously walked into the Taixu Temple, and was slightly taken aback when he saw the big banyan tree that covered the sky and covered the sun. He secretly sighed that such a big tree could be sold for some money even if it was chopped down and used as firewood.

But he just thought about it, and didn't use any brains.

Although he is an asshole, he seems to have done a lot of things like eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, bullying men and women, and stealing chickens and dogs, but he also knows that it is not easy for the old mother to drag him, so he came to the mountain this time to thank...

A few days ago, he lost a bet on the land deed of his ancestral home and owed a whole lot of debt. He felt ashamed to face his old mother, so he hid.

But in fact, he didn't go far, he just didn't show his face in secret, thinking that when the limelight passes in the future, he would take his old mother to live in another place, change his mind and start a new life.

It's just that I never thought that the old mother would cry and go blind.

The guilt in his heart was even worse. He hid himself and slapped himself, called himself a beast, and even thought about committing suicide.

Later, inexplicably, he discovered that his old mother's eyes had recovered. He was overjoyed and asked someone to inquire about it, and found out that it was the Taoist Taixu Temple on the cold mountain who cured his old mother's eyes, and he only charged one penny for the consultation fee.

He gave up the idea of ​​committing suicide, hesitated again and again, and decided to go up the mountain to thank the Taoist priest who rescued the old mother. After all, he had no other way to be filial to the old mother.

Unknowingly, Wang Binggui walked to the edge of the wishing pool, and noticed the emerald green cloud pattern jade pendant at the bottom of the pool at first sight.

He has been in gambling shops all year round, and he is very sensitive to valuable gold, silver and jade articles. He can tell at a glance that the jade pendant with cloud patterns is worth a lot.

Why did such a piece of jade be thrown into the pool?

Is it that no one wants it anymore?
If it can be taken away as a pawn, it will be enough to pay off the gambling debts. Maybe there is still money left to go to the table to fight for two. What if the luck comes and wins back the lost ancestral house?

Then can I get rid of the title of 'Prodigal Son'?
Will the old mother not blame herself?

At this moment, his heart was moved, and the etiquette, righteousness, and shame were left behind...

He licked his lips, lay down on the side of the praying pool, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go into the water to fish out the cloud-patterned jade pendant to make a copy. He didn't even notice that a little turtle in the pool was looking at him coldly.

Just when he was about to go into the water, a kind reminder came from behind him: "If you dare to touch that jade pendant, I will let your head move."

Wang Binggui was terrified when he heard the words, and turned his head to find a smiling Taoist priest standing not far behind him with a dust whisk in his hand.

Although the Taoist priest had a slight smile on his face, the words he said made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice hole in the cold winter months...

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding..."

He propped himself up from the edge of the pool embarrassingly, pulled down his sleeves, then cupped his hands brazenly and asked, "Dare to ask if Zhang Taixu is the leader?"

Zhang Xiuyuan nodded slightly, and warned: "I know your character, but in this view, I still hope that you can abide by the rules and regulations here, and don't be greedy."

Because he had watched Li's memory clips, he also knew that the person in front of him was Li's son Wang Binggui, and he really didn't want to be polite to this kind of gambler and rascal.

"The Taoist priest misunderstood..."

Wang Binggui saw that his small thoughts had been seen through, he sneered shamelessly, and hurriedly said: "I came here specially to thank the Taoist priest."

"Thank you, no need..."

Zhang Xiuyuan shook his head calmly, turned and went to the guest room, and said, "Come with me, your mother asked me to pass a few words to you, and left some money for you."

"what?"

Wang Binggui was slightly distracted when he heard the words, and hurriedly followed after he regained consciousness, and asked cautiously, "Does the priest know who I am?"

"Wang Binggui..."

"Does the Taoist know that I'm coming?"

Zhang Xiuyuan glanced at him, and explained indifferently: "It's not that I knew you were coming, but your mother guessed that you would come."

"..."

Wang Binggui's heart trembled when he heard the words, but his pace was a little slower, and he looked around with a guilty conscience.

"Your mother isn't here..."

Seeing his attitude, Zhang Xiuyuan thought to himself that this person still knows a little bit of courtesy, righteousness and shame, and said: "A few days ago, she guessed that you would come after she cured her eye disease at my place."

"..."

Wang Binggui is still silent...

The reason why people have so many troubles is because they are not pure enough, the good is not pure, and the evil is also not pure.

For example, Master Zhang Yangming...

For example, Wang Binggui in front of him is usually glib and shameless, but when he mentioned his mother, he couldn't even maintain that shameless posture.

He eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, cheats, steals chickens and dogs, he has done all the bad things that ordinary people can do, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is so bad that it oozes pus...

But his conscience has not been completely wiped out, and he also knows that he owes his mother too much.

Zhang Xiuyuan didn't want to entangle with him, so after returning to the guest room, he took out the handkerchief that Mrs. Li had given that day, put it on the table, and gestured, "Your mother left it for you."

"..."

Holding the tightly packed handkerchief, Wang Binggui lost his mind and asked dully, "I don't know what my mother asked the Taoist priest to bring?"

"See for yourself..."

Zhang Xiuyuan's fingertips had a little spiritual light, and then he reached out and touched Wang Binggui's eyebrows, and used his energy to 'recreate' the scene of that day in his sea of ​​consciousness.

This small method of developing images was created by him when he saw the memory fragments presented in the scrolls of mountains and seas. At present, it can only be regarded as a primary use of Qi mechanism, not even a magic technique...

At this time, Wang Binggui was stunned in place...

He saw the old mother being helped up the mountain by An Jiuling and walked into Taixu Temple, saw the gray eyes and cracked hands of the old mother crying blind, and saw the old mother praying for himself carefully...

"Although my son Wang Binggui is a bit of a jerk, he is still filial. He has no face to see me when he hides, but I know that he has not gone far and is still watching me secretly. The eye disease is cured, and I will definitely come to find Daoist Chang Xie En."

"He'll definitely come! He's just been neglected since he was a child, and he was brought up badly by others. He...he's not bad in nature, so he'll definitely come. "

"Thank you Daochang, thank you Daochang!"

"If my son comes to look for the Taoist priest, please trouble the Taoist priest to give him the money, just say... just say that his uncle has dealt with the debtors, so don't worry."

"Let's just say... just say that my mother is old and useless. I only made this little money from helping people wash clothes a while ago. Let him use it first."

"..."

At this moment, he saw too many things, and also saw things that he hadn't noticed before.

For example, the old mother's withered and white hair, for example, the old mother's rough hands full of cracks...

At some point, the handkerchief wrapped with coins was soaked with two drops of tears.

Wang Binggui wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, put the handkerchief wrapped with coins into his bosom, then knelt down in front of Zhang Xiuyuan, and kowtowed nine times.

After kowtowing, he got up and walked out the door of the guest room without saying a word from the beginning to the end.

When passing by the prayer pool, he seemed to have thought of something, stopped by the pool, carefully took out a handkerchief, took out a copper coin from it, and made the most sincere prayer with the copper coin like his mother.

After finishing the prayer, he seemed to have figured out something, threw the copper coin in his hand into the pool, and then gritted his teeth and left the mountain gate...
