Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 128 Five Disadvantages and Three Deficiencies.

Being cheated out of a treasure in a daze, Li Xiuyuan felt that he was really at a loss. The treasure ran into someone else's hands before it was warmed up. The mood is not something ordinary people can understand, but seeing Mu Taoist's smiling face He also knew in his heart that the things that fell into his hands might not come back.

But thinking that since this wooden Taoist is his uncle, giving this thing to him can be regarded as a good fortune.

After all, Taoist Mu was also entrusted by him to come to Guo Beicheng with good intentions to protect his own safety.

Not to mention this painful thing.

"By the way, what happened to the kind of pears my uncle just had? Why did my uncle play tricks on that pear peddler who cheated my uncle?" Li Xiuyuan said.

Taoist Mu said: "Well, that's not true, it's just that the poor Daoist showed kindness for a while and helped him through the catastrophe."

"Oh, what does this mean?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

Taoist Mu said: "This peddler is a foreigner. It is too late to drive to the city today to sell pears. It is dusk now. He must not be able to sell all these pears. If he encounters ghosts in the mountains when he leaves the city, If he goes to the ghost market, he will definitely be mistaken for the night market, and he must drive there. If he goes to the ghost market, he will probably die there because of his fate, so Pindao made a small plan to send him back home. , today he will either stay in the city, or go home immediately, as for that ghost city, he will never meet again."

"Even if I meet him and have no goods in hand, I won't think about going to the ghost market to sell them. This will save him a catastrophe. Well, Pindao saved another life. It is really a great merit."

After finishing speaking, he became a little complacent again.

He was not happy for a while, but he looked at Li Xiuyuan again and said, "Could it be that my nephew thought that the poor man deliberately played tricks on that pear seller?"

"Everyone else thinks this way, and I'm just a little confused." Li Xiuyuan said.

Mu Taoist said with a smile: "So this is a worldly view, seeing things from one side, showing that the poor Taoist played tricks on the pear seller, well, who made him not even willing to give a single pear to the poor Taoist? Dao frightened him as punishment, but Pindao saved his life, so it is clear which is more important, and when the peddler returns home and sees a room full of pears, he will naturally understand."

"So that's it. Is Master Uncle a master of Taoism?" Li Xiuyuan nodded.

Just doing but not talking, no matter how the world looks at it, treating reputation like dung is not something that everyone has.

To be a master is to be a master, and this style of behavior alone is beyond the reach of others.

Taoist Mu became a little elated by this praise.

"Uncle Master is good at everything, but he is a little too sloppy. If he can dress up, maybe he won't be so suspicious." Li Xiuyuan said.

Taoist Mu glared at him and said: "People who practice Taoism will inevitably have five disadvantages and three deficiencies. This is a very normal thing. My senior brother, that is your master, isn't he blind? This is one of the five disadvantages. As for the poor, it is the lack of wealth among the three deficiencies. Others have more or less wealth luck, but the poor have zero wealth luck, not at all. You have nothing to do with money in this life, and you are worthless. If you give me money, I will lose it when I turn around, or if I don’t lose it, someone will steal it. In short, the money will never be kept with me.”

Li Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this.

He has also read some Taoist books and knows what the five disadvantages and three deficiencies are. Among the so-called five disadvantages and three deficiencies, the five disadvantages are: widow, widow, loneliness, and disability, and the three deficiencies are: money, life, and power.

In addition to the mind and aptitude for cultivating the Tao, people who enter the Tao need to have fortune-telling skills. Among the five disadvantages, they must not be lonely.

What cultivators seek is longevity, if you lack life, how can you live forever.

Li Xiuyuan's master said before that people who practice Taoism are taboo, this is definitely not a lie.

"It's still my senior brother's life is good. He has five faults and three deficiencies. He is only disabled and lacks power, so he can accept apprentices and let your Li family make offerings. He hides in the Taoist temple and cleanses. I don't know how much better than Pindao." Taoist Mu said again.

Indeed, among the three deficiencies, one can lose power, but the most unavoidable ones are lack of life and lack of money.

Cultivating the Tao sometimes requires money. If you lack money in your life, the road to cultivating the Tao will definitely be difficult.

Li Xiuyuan said with a serious face: "Since the uncle is short of money in the hit, it would be a waste to keep the treasure on the uncle just now, so why don't you give it back to me."

Taoist Mu laughed again and said: "Pimpedao can't keep other treasures, but you can keep this precious treasure. You are a born saint, and your fate is extremely precious. Even five disadvantages and three shortcomings can't overcome you. The things you gave to the poor can’t be dropped.”

"." Li Xiuyuan felt that he had been tricked at this moment.

"Forget it, I won't chat with you, uncle. I still have something to do and need to go to the ghost market outside the city. Do you want to go together, uncle?"

"Don't go."

Mu Taoist immediately refused: "Ghost knows what earth-shattering event you are going to do, don't drag Pindao, or let Pindao get involved in karma, and Pindao will be in bad luck."

"Didn't the master ask my uncle to take care of me?" Li Xiuyuan asked with a strange expression.

Mu Taoist said: "It is said to take care of you, but it is just to act as your eyes and ears, to remind you of everything, so that you can take precautions. How to do it is your business. Could it be that my senior brother really helped you?"

"It seems... not." Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and said.

At this moment, he finally understood why his master had been huddled in the Taoist temple all day long, doing nothing, just giving some pointers on his own practice, and enjoying himself very much.

The original root is here.

"That's it. If other cultivators know your identity and are afraid to avoid you, how dare they have any contact with you, and my senior brother doesn't dare to help you directly, for fear that it will affect your future path. When the time comes If something goes wrong, all of this has to be blamed on the poor, and sooner or later he will be struck to death by lightning."

Taoist Mu said: "And the ghost market outside the city is just some little ghosts, there are no monsters, you will be fine if you go there, Lord Heishan has been hunted by you, are you afraid of a mere ghost market?"

"Hearing what my uncle said makes sense." Li Xiuyuan nodded and said.

People who practice Taoism also have taboos of people who practice Taoism, and they still have to respect it.

"It's getting late, nephew and nephew went early, and the poor boy went back to your house to sleep. Zhengchou had no place to stay tonight, and he met nephew unexpectedly. Good luck, this is good luck." Taoist Mu said .

Li Xiuyuan has a feeling that this uncle is not here to eat and drink again.

When I met him, I lost a treasure, and I had to take good care of it.

"I hope there are not many practitioners in this sect," he thought to himself.

"Since my uncle is unwilling to go with me, I will set off alone. Does my uncle know where my residence is? Do you want me to show my uncle the way?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

Mu Taoist laughed and said: "Of course I know, my nephew is good to go, don't worry about the poor Taoist."

Li Xiuyuan felt that his concern was superfluous, this cheap uncle is also an old man, there is probably nothing in the world that he doesn't know.

"The nephew left first."

After giving a salute, he didn't waste any more time, and walked out of the city with two guards.

Watching Li Xiuyuan go, Mu Taoist couldn't help frowning, and muttered in his heart: "My senior brother won't trick me again, his apprentice is a saint in the world at best, and a disaster at worst. Since ancient times, every In the chaotic world, only the saint came to the world to clean up the world, and the life of the saint is full of disasters, who knows what strange things will happen around him, often there is a monstrous cause and effect behind a small incident."
