Liaozhai Great Sage

The master never mentioned about Shimen.

Unexpectedly, this sloppy Taoist was actually his master's younger brother.

Li Xiuyuan looked suspiciously at this sloppy Taoist who claimed to be a wooden Taoist again; "Although I don't know if it's true or not, there are indeed some similarities."

"Well, my nephew does have discernment, and I can see the extraordinaryness of the poor at a glance." Taoist Mu nodded in satisfaction.

"No, it's your wretched behavior that resembles my master." Li Xiuyuan said.

"..." Mu Taoist.

Li Xiuyuan said again: "Since you are an uncle, you can't lie to the juniors when you meet. Uncle, you have to return my treasure. You must know that according to etiquette, the elders should give gifts to the younger. How can the elders lie to the younger?" of."

Taoist Mu smiled: "Do you think that Pindao has anything valuable on him? I was thirsty before and couldn't afford to buy a pear, and I needed others to give me alms. Nephew, you have a lot of treasures on you, so be generous." Give this cloth bag to the uncle at once, anyway, it won’t work if it falls into your hands, it’s just a waste of treasure.”

After finishing speaking, he showed Li Xiuyuan a look, except for the tattered Taoist robe on his body, there was really nothing there, not even the signboard of a Taoist, and there was no dust whisk.

Even the hairpin on the head was a piece of rotten wood picked up from nowhere, and as for the feet, it was just a pair of tattered straw sandals woven by myself.

Seeing him so poor, Li Xiuyuan really looked pitiful, and he really couldn't bear to ask for the treasure back.

If you can cultivate the Tao, you can be regarded as absolutely perfect.

"Are you really my uncle?" He asked suspiciously again.

"It's guaranteed to be exchanged." Taoist Mu said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "If you are not my uncle, you will be struck by lightning."

"Nephew, your mouth is too harsh." Taoist Mu opened his eyes wide.

Li Xiuyuan looked up at the sky and saw that the sky was clear, so he nodded and said: "There is no sky and thunder strikes, it seems that you are really my uncle."

"..." Mu Taoist.

"Uncle, it's not that nephew and nephew are ruthless, but you have to be more careful when you go out. If you encounter some crooked ways to plot against me, it will be bad. Demons and ghosts are easy to guard against, but people's hearts are unpredictable, uncle You should understand." Li Xiuyuan said.

Mu Taoist wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, forced a smile and said: "Understood, understood."

He almost growled in his heart and said: "It's a good chance that the last time I quarreled with the senior brother, I didn't sever the relationship between the senior brother, otherwise I will fall down this time."

"Since it's from my family, the cloth bag just now can be regarded as a meeting gift from my nephew to my uncle. I hope my uncle won't be offended." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Okay, okay, if you are a little bit filial, then the uncle accepts it bluntly." Taoist Mu laughed again.

Li Xiuyuan asked again: "Dare to ask my uncle, what is the use of that cloth bag? I got it by accident, and I still can't figure it out."

"Well, the bag is sewn from the skin of the ghost king of the underworld. It contains heaven and earth, and it can hold a mountain. He hesitated and accepted it." Taoist Mu said with some joy.

The corner of Li Xiuyuan's mouth twitched, feeling a big loss.

This is the legendary storage bag.

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."
