Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 6 Origami as a Crane
"Of course." The blind Taoist stroked his beard and smiled.

"I just didn't want her to be harmed by the mandrill, so I rescued her. There is no other meaning." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Marriage is like this. Unintentional just made things happen. It's just that you didn't find out. Before becoming a teacher, I wanted to calculate the life and death of Widow Du, but I couldn't. What does this mean, apprentice? You know." The blind man smiled.

Of course, Li Xiuyuan knew that he was born with seven apertures and exquisite heart, and no one could calculate his own destiny. If he forced it, he would be punished by heaven. Once the marriage is established, her fate will be linked with her own, so naturally it cannot be predicted.

"Maybe it's because you miscalculated, Master." He still didn't quite believe that Widow Du had married him.

The blind man said: "Since you don't believe in the teacher's arithmetic, let me ask you, the teacher, when you rescued Widow Du, did you ever molest her?"

"I couldn't help but say something when I was carrying her." Li Xiuyuan said with some embarrassment.

The blind Taoist looked at him with a half-smile and said: "That's right, that's it, marriage and marriage are a cause and effect in the end, and your opening of your mouth is the cause, so how did Widow Du respond to you?"

"It seems that he just answered and didn't say anything." Li Xiuyuan said awkwardly.

"That's right, she is a widow, and she always pays attention to her reputation. Not only is she not angry when she is molested by you, but she agrees, that is, she acquiesces to your molestation, and this is the reason." The blind man said.

"Cause and effect, what about fruit?"

The blind Taoist laughed and said: "Don't worry, my disciple. The cause and effect will follow later. Guess Du Widow must have shown you her heart when she was on the way. Maybe it's just a trivial gesture."

"She wiped my sweat for me." Li Xiuyuan remembered.

"That's right again. Widow Du wiped your sweat for you. She would only do this if she treated you as her own man. You must have not refused at that time."

"I didn't think about it that much." Li Xiuyuan said.

The blind Taoist nodded: "If you don't refuse, you accept it. Widow Du naturally thinks that you acquiesced in letting her wipe your sweat. In this way, isn't it because you love me? How can this marriage be considered a success?"

"I'll go and explain to Widow Du." Li Xiuyuan stopped immediately, turning around to go back.

However, just as he turned around, the sky that was originally full of sunset glow was immediately covered with dark clouds, and bursts of thunder sounded.

The blind Taoist pulled a few of his beards out of fear, and hurriedly said, "Disciple, you will be punished by the gods if you turn around as a teacher. At that time, God will definitely think that being a teacher broke your marriage and ruined you." What a great cause and effect is this marriage, it is enough to die several times for the teacher."

He now has the urge to slap his mouth. He has long known that this disciple of his is a seven-apertured exquisite heart, a natural saint, and he should not leak the secrets to him at will. When things go wrong, all karma will be attributed to him on the head.

Li Xiuyuan stopped walking and looked up at the suddenly changing sky: "It's not that evil."

"What do you think?" The blind man jumped anxiously.

"Forget it, let it go with the flow."

Li Xiuyuan gave up his plan to go back to Xiahe Village again, he didn't want his cheap master to be struck to death by lightning.

At this time, the cloudy sky quickly returned to clear.

"Scared to death as a teacher." The blind Taoist was slightly relieved.

Li Xiuyuan looked at the blind Taoist, showing that you are really weak.

"The Taoism of being a teacher is by no means as weak as you think, it's just that no one who cultivates Dao would dare to touch this thing." The blind Taoist seemed to understand Li Xiuyuan's expression, and argued.

"Can paper cranes send messages?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

"This is done with a raised hand." The blind Taoist immediately said confidently.

"Fly one."

Li Xiuyuan picked a leaf from the side and handed it over with a provocative look.

The blind Taoist laughed, "Being a teacher today will open your eyes." He rolled up his Taoist robe, ready to show off his skills, but his smile froze when he took the leaf.

"Your disciple's mind is not pure." He threw the leaf away, sighed and said, "No Taoism will work as a teacher by your side."

"Excuses." Li Xiuyuan said.

"People who practice the Tao never lie." The blind Taoist said.

"Since the Taoism is not effective, there must be a master of the realm. Don't you know that the master has overcome the catastrophe?"

"Well, it's still far from being a teacher. The patriarch has risen through tribulations. To be a teacher, he should follow the example of the patriarch and practice diligently." The corner of the blind Taoist's mouth twitched.

"The Nascent Soul should have it."

"Soon, soon." The blind Taoist's voice became much softer.

"The golden core should be completed."

The blind Taoist was completely silent, and after a while, he said with a sneer: "Let's talk about the paper crane sending messages before, and we have to pay attention to this paper crane sending messages, although this Taoism is called paper crane sending messages. , but in fact paper can be used, and leaves can also be used. It doesn’t have to be paper. Well, you are very savvy about this, and you know how to get a leaf, but the problem comes. And there are no leaves, so how to display it?"

Li Xiuyuan looked at him strangely.

Because it was a little late, he didn't go back to Guobei County, but chose to rest one more night in the gymnasium on the hill.

In ancient times, once the sun goes down, it will be dark, and there are still many roads between Guobei County and Xiahe Village. In the absence of vehicles, everything can be walked by legs, so it also leads to people here. If something happens, it will be several hours in advance. If it is in the afternoon, it will have to wait until the next day, so there is a saying that we work at sunrise and rest at sunset.

Go to bed as soon as the sun sets, you can imagine how early this is.

Just when Li Xiuyuan turned back to the gymnasium, several women from the same village gathered in a private house in Xiahe Village.

After helping Widow Du home, Aunt Wang did not leave in a hurry. She helped her wipe the bruises, massaged the wound, and moved the bruise.

"Tsk tsk, I said girl, your skin is so white, your face is also white, your body is also white, and your legs are also white. No wonder the young master is reluctant to let you walk and carries you all the way back." Aunt Wang rubbed Widow Du The injured leg, giggled.

Widow Du's face turned red slightly: "I hurt my leg and couldn't walk. The young master had no choice but to carry me back. It's not what you think."

"I said, Mrs. Du, what you said is wrong. Seeing how you came back, your whole body is on the young master's body, and you are reluctant to leave. We all saw it."

"Isn't that right? When I came back, I was still wrapped in the young master's clothes. Look at the material of the clothes, the high-quality silk, it's slippery to the touch."

"Don't talk nonsense, the young master and I are innocent, nothing happened."

Widow Du blushed and said with embarrassment: "How can you mess up people's innocence? If it gets to the ears of the young master, your taxes will be increased and your fields will be taken away. Don't blame me for this matter. "

Aunt Wang also kicked the woman, and stared at her; "If you can't speak human words, don't chew your tongue here, and keep talking about nasty things."

The woman immediately gave a mocking smile and stopped talking.

Aunt Wang said again: "My sister has been married to Xiahe Village for five years."

"It's been five and a half years." Widow Du replied.

Aunt Wang sighed and said: "You are also a person with a hard life, and your father-in-law and mother-in-law passed away one after another after you got married. Your man was called out by his cronies on the night he got married, saying that he was going to make a fortune and build a new house." Zhaizi. But he didn't come back after leaving. Within a month, the guards heard the news of the man's death. It was said that he was married and became a widow, but in fact it was the same as not being married.

"But then again, you have no old people to serve and no children to raise, so you are at ease, but this is not the way, you can't keep guarding the Du family's one-third of an acre of land, right? You are still young and have a long life, so you have to plan for the future. Auntie will not be sloppy today, I see that the young master is interested in you, and I think you can enjoy a few years of happiness if you follow the young master. "

Widow Du blushed again and dared not make a sound.
