    The middle-aged man looked at the Taoist who was standing calmly, and said to the steward who lowered his hands: "Ah Fu, go get a stool for the Taoist to sit down." After hearing this, the steward respectfully accepted the promise and was about to turn around.  , and then heard the Taoist say: "Boss Wang, there is no need to be polite. I am here just to perform a few tricks to give you some fun. I will leave later, so I don't have to worry about working anymore." "Oh! This one is here.  The Taoist priest came here uninvited. Isn't it to ask for some alms? Are all the tricks you perform free of charge?" Before the middle-aged man could speak, the fat man on the side took over and asked.  The person in charge was obviously very polite to the person who spoke. When he saw him speaking, he looked at Li Xuan with a smile. The other person also had the same expression. They seemed to be surprised and puzzled by this behavior without asking for anything in return.  Wu Jianguo also pretended to be confused, and took time to echo the expressions of several people.  After listening to the fat man's words, Li Xuan looked the other person up and down, with a profound expression on his face, and said calmly: "I don't know how old I am, and wealth is like a cloud to me. A foreigner like me is always playing games.  In this green mountain and green water, a coarse robe is better than a purple robe, a cloth belt is better than a black gauze hat. Walking slowly, you can be a luxurious car, and the gourd around your waist is better than leather.  Boots. Sleeping early is better than the wind, flowers, snow and moon. Sometimes, when traveling around China, the mountains and rivers are used as pictures, and the heaven and earth are used as luggage. Sometimes, when one sleeps on a rock, the wind and moon are his master, and the mist is his companion.  : "There is nothing in the mountains, and there are many white clouds on the mountains. I can only entertain myself, and I can't invite you to give me anything." "It's just that, I don't want to give you anything in return. I'll be happy and peaceful while traveling outside!" After Li Xuan said this, he saw the leader.  The man stood up with a look of joy on his face, and when he was about to speak, he saw that the fat man beside him seemed to have an unnatural expression. His mind suddenly changed, and he sat back down again and said, "I don't know what to call him. I just watched him."  The Taoist priest has extraordinary bearing, and the subtle principles hidden in his words, I guess he must be a moral person!" After saying that, he looked at Li Xuan with a half-smile, and the other two people also greeted him with lukewarm eyes.  he.  Without waiting for Li Xuan to answer, he heard the fat man's tepid voice say: "Yes, I also really want to know the name of the Taoist priest. After listening to the Taoist priest's words just now, I think it makes sense, but I also have some thoughts in my heart.  If you have any questions, you still need to ask the Taoist priest to clarify your doubts!" ??The man in charge felt relieved when he saw the fat man speaking, so he happily watched on the wall, smiling and saying nothing.  After hearing this, Li Xuan bowed his head slightly and said calmly: "Poverty-stricken people only know how to care about mountains and rivers, accumulate virtue and understand Taoism. Those whose names are taboo, have long been forgotten in the deep mountains and secluded streams; but it's just like this  What the layman said, but if you have any questions, as long as the poor Taoist knows, he will definitely tell you." "Well, although the Taoist priest is a foreigner, you can also see that he is a generous person in his words" That fat man is not allowed.  He said nonchalantly, sneered twice, and then said: "According to what the Taoist Master said just now, he doesn't care about the glory, wealth, clothing, food, housing, and transportation in this world. Therefore, I am a little confused. How do I view the Taoist Master?  He is also a mortal body. If he just forgets about the mountains and rivers all day long, he will not grow old, and he will not need food and daily life. If this is the case, then as long as people in this world learn the Tao, they don¡¯t need to eat or drink.  Drinking, there is no need to give birth, just looking at the scenery in the mountains and plains, it is a great pleasure in life! But can this 'Tao' be eaten? Can it be used?" The fat man said, feeling a little proud.  Looking at the Taoist opposite, they only wanted to make him look embarrassed. Several other people had the same idea. Just to see how the Taoist answered, they forgot all about the magic performance for a while. Only Wu Jianguo looked as usual.  But in my heart, I was like an ant on a hot pot, worried that Li Xuan would be unable to answer, and I was worried.  Faced with such explicit words, Li Xuan certainly understood that he had offended the fat man with his overt and covert accusations. He didn't care at the moment and just smiled and said: "We, the people who have studied the Tao, only follow the Tao."  Accumulating merit and spreading virtue are things that are in accordance with the creation of heaven and earth. However, the Tao is only a vague thing. There are images in it, and there are things in it.  There is essence, and the essence is very true, and there is faith in it. From ancient times to the present, its name has not gone away, and there is a little bit of rebellion in the adaptation. There is always something mysterious in this that cannot be summarized in words.  As the layman said, the Taoist brings the medicine from inside and outside, gathers it in the body, swallows the essence of heaven and earth, performs exercises and refines Qi. When the years go by, the elixir will fall into the Huangting.  Hunger, cold, illness and pain have gone their separate ways and have nothing to do with each other. People in the world always rely on an opportunity to learn Taoism. Without that opportunity, even if they put the moral Bible in front of them, it will be just a piece of waste paper. " At this point, Li said.  Xuan paused for a moment, looked at the fat man and said: "I look at the layman's appearance, his good fortune, and his high status. I think he is also a high-ranking official in the yamen.I have something to say here: the flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year.  If you don't accumulate merit in your lifetime, I'm afraid your deadline will come soon and you won't be able to regret it.  ¡± In fact, during the time when Li Xuan entered the living room, he had already used secret deduction methods to roughly understand the details of these people. They were nothing more than treacherous people who colluded with each other. Therefore, his words  There is also a hidden meaning of enlightenment. After all, Taoists are based on kindness, and words can enlighten people. It is a great good thing, why not do it? As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, he saw the fat man slapped the case.  Standing up, with an angry look on his face, he pointed at Li Xuan and said: "Nonsense, you are a stinky Taoist priest with nothing to offer and a clean body. When you say these things to me, you must be either envious or jealous!"  " Li Xuan nodded slightly and smiled without answering. While the fat man was embarrassed, the middle-aged man standing up stood up and smoothed things over: "Master Liu, please calm down. A wanderer like this has no sense of propriety in what he says.  , why bother to be acquainted with him!  Haha, since he is here to perform tricks, then why don't we see if he really has some skills. If he is a liar, it is not too late to ridicule him.  "    "yes!  Why bother with this!  "Wu Jianguo on the side also said. After listening to what the master and Wu Jianguo said, the fat man gave Li Xuan a hard look, sat back and waited for the master's arrangements. After appeasing the fat man, the middle-aged man said seriously to Li Xuan: "  Taoist Priest, since you know how to perform tricks, you should quickly perform them for us. Why do you need to show off your rhetoric here?  If not, I'm afraid you will inevitably suffer some pain.  "I said this to Li Xuan, but actually I said it to the fat man on the side. I don't think he, the president of the dignified group, would get into trouble with an irrelevant Taoist priest for a few words of argument. " Li Xuan heard this and said:  ¡°Just about to perform.  "After saying that, he looked at the tall vases erected by people on both sides of the living room, with a smile on his face. He didn't show any gestures, he just opened his mouth and blew out a ball of purple air, while chanting: "The five elements have the same origin, and the four seasons follow the heart.  "As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the purple air hovering in the air for a while, then divided into six strands, as thin as gossamer, and each went into the vases on both sides, making no sound. Several people in the living room first saw Li Xuanneng vomiting purple.  Qi, including the fat man, were all a little surprised, but after the six purple qi got into the vase, they all looked at Li Xuan, and Li Xuan raised his hand.  Move, he said: "Get up, get up, get up" After shouting three times in a row, everyone held their breath and watched the changes. At this time, when they listened carefully, there was a faint sound in the vases on both sides of the living room.  The sound was heard, and in surprise, several people hurriedly stood up and looked at the vase. They saw three petals of tender green orchids slowly emerging from the middle of the smooth and round mouth of the vase, covered with various patterns, until it stretched out of the vase.  It stopped when it was about a foot and a half tall, but the leaves were elegant and green, and the lines were clear and delicate. Although there were only three leaves in each bottle, it gave people a sense of harmony and elegance in the monotony. Everyone was amazed by Li Xuan's magic.  At that moment, the orchid grass trembled slightly, and from the center of the three leaves, a young stem was slowly pulled out. The top gradually became rounded, and the bracts slowly stretched out. As the bracts opened, bursts of  The refreshing fragrance filled the air, and under the soft lights in the hall, it showed a different kind of simplicity and elegance in the mystery and tranquility. The ethereal floral fragrance really lingered around everyone, and they were intoxicated.  After a while, Wu Jianguo was the first to come to his senses and exclaimed: "What a miracle, Taoist Master's magic is really amazing. Wu admires it, I admire it!"  "Since Wu Jianguo had known about Li Xuan's methods earlier, he didn't know whether he was really sighing or deliberately cooperating with someone. After Wu Jianguo finished speaking, the other people came to their senses one after another. At this time, they looked at Li Xuan in their eyes.  There were some subtle changes. "Wang admired the Taoist master's miraculous skills, but I was still a little confused. Are these orchid plants really real?  "The middle-aged man stared at the petals for a while and asked. Li Xuan listened and said calmly: "Boss Wang is joking. The method used by the poor Taoist is not an illusion and a blind eye. How can you say it is not real?  Woolen cloth?  And because this orchid is nourished by fairy energy, it already has something extraordinary about it!  "    "oh!  According to you, is this flower still a fairy grass?  "The old man who had been silent couldn't help but jokingly asked. Li Xuan smiled and said: "You can also say that!  " After Li Xuan finished speaking, he saw the fat man from before and said, "Immortal grass?  Can you grow fairy grass in such a short time?  I'm afraid it's impossible. If it's really that easy, then why doesn't the Taoist grow some fairy fruits for himself? If he eats them, won't he be done with the magic?  Why do we still need to practice hard and stay in this secular world?  ¡± Fatty¡¯s words seemed to arouse the concern of several other people.They all screamed and looked at Li Xuan, waiting for his answer.  Hearing this, Li Xuan just smiled and said: "What this layman said makes sense, but I can't grow the kind of fairy fruit that can make people ascend in the daytime if I eat it. The most I can do is  Plant some flowers and plants with slightly special functions. 7 "Oh!  Then you don¡¯t know what¡¯s so special about the orchids that I planted just now?  "The fat man continued to ask. Li Xuan smiled and said: "I often hear that orchids are noble and noble, and they are gentlemen among flowers. Adhering to this characteristic, these few plants I planted have the ability to distinguish between good and evil in the world. If people touch them, these flowers will  It can show some unusual and strange things according to the good and evil nature of the person. As for what kind of strangeness it is, it always varies from person to person and from time to time. Even the poor can't explain it clearly. It depends on the kindness of the person who touches it.  How thick it is, how deep the evil is. I remember that last time, good and evil were divided into black and white. I wonder if it will be the same this time.  " After hearing this, the fat man and the others had doubtful expressions on their faces, and hesitated to speak. Wu Jianguo quietly looked at the expressions of several people, and then deliberately asked: "Taoist priest is talking nonsense, how do you make us believe that what you say is true?  What about?  There must be a factual basis!  "After listening, Li Xuanyi said with a profound look on the 1st: "If this layman doesn't believe it, you might as well give it a try.  " After Li Xuan finished speaking, Wu Jianguo pretended to be embarrassed, and his face turned slightly red. Seeing this scene, Li Xuan couldn't help but secretly sweat for Wu Jianguo; indeed, he was worthy of being an old man with long experience in business.  Fried dough sticks, even his acting skills are so skillful. By the way, the people next to him didn't really believe that a piece of orchid can judge good and evil. But at this time, seeing Wu Jianguo's embarrassment, they thought Wu Jianguo was really shady, so they felt guilty, which was funny.  , they couldn't help but have some thoughts of gloating in their hearts, and they all looked at Wu Jianguo. The fat man even said: "Boss Wu, what the Taoist said makes sense. You might as well try it. We also want to know about this plant."  Is grass that magical Could it be that Boss Wu is really a little scared?  "After speaking, he looked at Wu Jianguo with a half-smile. After hearing this, Wu Jianguo said seriously: "Master Liu, what are you talking about? Wu will try it for you.  "As he spoke, he rolled up his cuffs, walked directly to the vase, and carefully stretched out his hand, as if he was afraid of the thorns on the stem.  He gently pinched the green flower stem and stared at the orchid for half a day, but the color didn't change. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said to a few people, "Haha!  Please take a look at your seat, isn't it just a touch?  What's so difficult about this!  "The expression was faintly excited. "The fat man and others saw that nothing strange happened as the Taoist said. Although the fat man and the others did not believe that the flower was as magical as Li Xuan said, they really did not believe it at this time.  Wu Jianguo was confirmed, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Just because he saw Wu Jianguo's hesitant expression before, he thought that he was doing some shady things like the others, but now Wu Jianguo has been involved, but  Nothing strange happened, so the three of them understood each other tacitly, and despised the Taoist in their hearts. The good image that the Taoist had established in the hearts of the three was riddled with holes, but their faces were full of holes.  He didn't show it at all, but pretended to believe it, firstly to satisfy Wu Jianguo's vanity, and secondly, to create some atmosphere for his appearance. Originally, they didn't have to accept this innocent promise in the name of good and evil.  But after all, someone among them had already given the demonstration, so they could only act bravely and follow suit. Looking at Wu Jianguo's slightly proud expression, the fat man's eyes flashed with displeasure, and then he smiled: "  I just said, with Boss Wu¡¯s personality, how could there be any discrepancy?  You say yes!  " After saying that, he looked at the two people next to him, and they both agreed. Wu Jianguo glanced at a few people, then walked to Li Xuan with a smile and asked: "Taoist priest, what does the lack of response from the orchid grass mean?"  " Li Xuandao: "Well the fact that the colors remain unchanged should be due to the balance between good and evil, and the merits and demerits are mixed" His expression did not change, but his words seemed to be evasive. After Wu Jianguo heard this, there was a look of displeasure on his face.  If you want to speak, listen to the owner of the room, Mr. Wang, say: "Boss Wu, don't be angry. I think it's better for the three of us to try it together. If there is no movement like you, it means that the Taoist priest is lying. Then Xiao Xiao  It¡¯s not too late to punish him and kick him out!  " After hearing Mr. Wang's words, Wu Jianguo's expression softened slightly, he glared at the Taoist priest, and walked aside and stopped talking. "Taoist Priest, can I try?  "    "Can.  " After the three of them tried it one by one, the orchids were still there spraying fragrance and cleaning them, without any change in color. On the contrary, the flowers and plants that were blooming all stopped and disappeared in a moment like a fleeting light.  Without a tracelooking at meBoss Wang, a Taoist priest with a calm face, had a sneer on his lips. He walked a few steps slowly, turned around and said, "You are such a bluffing Taoist priest. If you don't cultivate in your own Taoist temple, you will be relying on your skills."  You have tricked people and come here to cheat, which has wasted us a lot of time. If I, Wang Jinshui, don't give you a little punishment today, I'm afraid you will come here more often in the future!" Wang Jinshui finished.  When someone called out, they saw the door of the living room open, and four men in black robes with sturdy builds and fierce faces filed in and came to stand next to Wang Jinshui.  The fat man and the other person looked at the scene in front of them with expressions that they were used to. The thin old man said in a sarcastic tone: "He is indeed a fool who doesn't know how to live or die. You have to inquire first when trying to cheat, otherwise you will die if you bump into a big shot."  I don¡¯t know.¡± After saying that, You Zi sneered again and again.  Li Xuan looked at the few people, with a trace of pity on his face, and said slowly: "Flowers and grasses will have their own fragrance, and good and evil will eventually be judged by heaven." After speaking, he clapped his hands lightly, and amidst crisp applause,  I heard an exclamation As soon as Li Xuan clapped his hands, there was a crisp sound. After the sound, Wang Jinshui let out an exclamation, covering his neck with both hands, with a painful and horrified expression.  At this time, if I looked carefully, I could see that where Wang Jin was covering his hands, a black tumor the size of a fist had grown out of nowhere. Something seemed to be slowly moving inside. When I looked at it yesterday, I was shocked.  It's a bit disgusting.  ?The same was true for several other people. Even Wu Jianguo was not immune. Everyone covered their necks with their hands in horror.  Wu Jianguo touched a tumor on his neck and couldn't help but feel doubtful. Then he remembered Li Xuan's previous explanation, so he felt relieved and just followed the mourning of everyone.  (To be continued)
