Chapter 296 Twenty years ago
In the 1980s, the idea of favoring boys over girls was still very serious.
Not to mention the other side of Longhu Mountain, there is a "dead child hole" on a small hill near my hometown. It is said that in the past, someone did not want to give birth to a child, so he wrapped it in a straw mat and threw it inside.
Some were eaten by wild animals, and some died of cold and hunger. It is said that the cave was very resentful. When we were a child, our classmates had been practicing courage in the room, but after a few incidents, some people couldn't come out after entering and died inside.
.
Later, the cave was sealed. Some people said it was haunted inside, while others said it was nonsense. The accident was caused by the closed space of the cave and lack of oxygen.
Back to the point, Taoist Zixu picked up the child at that time. She wanted to save the little life, but she didn't know what to do. She wanted to hand it over to the mountain but was afraid that the master would scold her, so she went to find Uncle Ma.
When Uncle Ma saw that this was a little life after all, he was saved.
At that time, the child was frozen purple and dying. The two of them were busy together, and they were getting quilts and eating. Because Zixu was inconvenient, Uncle Ma even ran out to find some milk powder to come back.
After a lot of trouble, I finally saved the child.
But just when they wanted to tell their master, they were accidentally discovered by Liu Zhiping.
Liu Zhiping, who had never been kind, was so angry that he thought it was the child born by Uncle Ma and Zixu, and immediately exposed the incident.
The Taoist priests on the mountain believed in preconceptions, and the fact that Uncle Ma and Zixu were in good relationships, they were very close, so they believed it 70 or 80 minutes.
After Liu Zhiping added fuel to the fire, he basically believed it all.
At this time, no matter how the two of them explained, it was useless.
The only one who trusts them is the master.
But the master's status is not too high, and the more he explains this kind of thing, he advises Uncle Ma and Zixu, saying that these are all destiny, and those who practice Taoism should be open-minded and not be attached.
Since God is so will, why not marry Zixu. Anyway, the rules of the church can't stop marriage. In this way, you are so open and upright, who dares to say anything?
Uncle Ma disagreed because Uncle Ma felt that if he really wanted to be open and honest, he would not have a child secretly. Besides, this child is not theirs at all. What's the matter with a child?
It doesn't matter if he is a big man, and he will take advantage of marrying Zixu, but Zixu, a innocent woman, cannot ruin her reputation because of this.
Uncle Ma suspected that it was Liu Zhiping's instigation, so he went to find the old real person from Tianshi Mansion to distinguish the truth, and wanted to grab Liu Zhiping to confront him.
But Liu Zhiping felt guilty and had already sneaked down the mountain and ran away.
No one testified at this moment, and it was hard to argue. Although some people believed their innocence, more people still pointed and pointed behind their backs.
Faced with the malicious speculations of everyone and the rumors of gloating, the master asked Uncle Ma to bear it and asked Uncle Ma to send the child out so as not to be verbally quarrel.
But Uncle Ma directly chose to go down the mountain to return to secular life. He said that since everyone suspected it, I simply raised this child. Zixu was a girl's house and I was responsible for this matter.
At this point, Zixu bravely stood up. She said that I picked up the child and couldn't let the senior brother take the blame. Since I was going to leave, I'll leave and I'll raise the child.
The two began to argue and snatch the child. Finally, at Zixu's insistence, Uncle Ma could only agree to let her take the child away.
Because the two of them had a firm attitude, refused to admit their mistakes, and wanted to take their children down the mountain, they were both deprived of their reputation and deprived of their Taoist ancestry.
But the master knew that they were innocent, so he did not give them a statement and still maintained his Taoist identity.
Simply put, the Taoist priest certificate is gone, the teaching department will not recognize it, but the clerk position is still there.
For example, it is like a writer quit the Writers Association and has no writer's certificate, but he can still write articles and publish books, and no one can limit it.
Uncle Ma chose to return to secular life, and he went home and married a wife in anger. From then on, he no longer followed any precepts and rules. He could do whatever he wanted, but he could only focus on the Tao.
Therefore, although he is greedy for money and lust, he takes it in moderation and practices in a way, and never harms others.
Zixu went to the Quanzhen Long Sect and became a monk at Jinxian Temple in Zhongnan Mountain. The little baby girl she brought became her disciple and was raised by her since childhood.
This baby girl is naturally Shixiu now.
In the blink of an eye, twenty years passed, and when Uncle Ma talked about this past, he couldn't help but cry and sigh.
He picked up the box and slowly opened it.
This is a pretty exquisite jewelry box, which is very old in style, but it only contains a strand of long hair in it.
"Oh, I bought this box for your master when I went down the mountain. To be honest, I did have that meaning to your master at that time. If nothing happened later, maybe... it's a pity that this world
If you do something and do something, a gentleman should know it.”
As he said that, he took out the long strand of hair from it, and his whole body was trapped in memories at this moment.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but look down on Uncle Ma.
Although he had the opportunity to marry the Taoist Priest Zixu, he did not want to be innocent because of this. He would rather choose to leave the tutor and go down the mountain than bow his head and admit his mistake.
Such a person who often invites female netizens to go to health care has such a broad mind and openness, which really makes me admire him.
Judging from the box and a strand of hair that Taoist Zixu sent back, she also had an intention to Uncle Ma back then, but the world was impermanent and fate was a mess.
She has already entered Quanzhen now, and it is no longer possible for both of them to do so in their lives.
This strand of hair is the last thought she left to Uncle Ma.
Shixiu was stunned when she listened to the story, her eyes were filled with tears, and then Yingying bowed to Uncle Ma.
She obviously didn't know what Uncle Ma said. This time, she was ordered by his master to go down the mountain to find her own life experience.
The reason why Master Zixu did not tell her the truth was that he wanted her to find Uncle Ma in person, because if she had not had Uncle Ma, she might not have survived. This was also a fate between her and Uncle Ma.
Seeing the two of them being a little excited and incoherent, I was a little unable to interfere, and I was also quite moved, so I simply didn't bother them.
Half an hour later...
The two finally finished speaking. Uncle Ma wiped his eyes and pulled Shixiu to me, "It's logical that it's the best to come first, but I can't tell you two a little bit. You guys can't tell me."
I smiled at Shixiu: "I'm 22."
Shixiu also smiled: "I am 20, younger than you, my senior brother is above, I will be bowed by my younger sister."
Suddenly there was a junior sister, which made me very happy, so I hurriedly returned the gift, and then said to Uncle Ma, no wonder I felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy when I saw her at the old goods market last time, and I wanted to help
she.
The truth is revealed now, it turns out that this is the junior sister.
Uncle Ma also laughed and was in a good mood. Then he asked where Shixiu lived. Shixiu said that she was temporarily living in a Taoist temple in Xiangfang.
However, the master did not let her stay outside for too long. Now the task has been completed, so she will leave in a few days.
I was in a good mood when I watched Uncle Ma chat with her, but at this moment, Zhang Wenwen's face suddenly flashed through my mind for some reason.
