"Put your pants on, aren't you embarrassed enough?" my dad yelled next to me. He probably wanted to beat me, but he couldn't do it when he saw me like this.
I endured the pain and pulled up my trousers. The patch was so hot that it hurt when I rubbed my trousers, but I had to stand still because Old Man Jiang wanted to educate me.
"Look at this paper. It's obvious that the traces of the red pen are different, and the handwriting is also different. I don't want to say more about the rest. Wait a minute, go get a brush, and write with it on this table. 0 your name, do you hear it?" Old Man Jiang said.
I feel miserable. If I don’t talk after typing, does that mean I have to write as a penalty? 0 names, how many characters are there
"You won't be allowed to eat until you finish writing. I have to tell you that if you just show me the paper that you failed in today's exam, you will only be beaten ten times and punished to write fifty times. If you can still be sincere, Tell me that you will work hard in the future and let me see your performance. Then you may not be beaten, but you will only be punished fifty times. But why will you be beaten like this? First, because of deception. Second, because you dare not Facing mistakes. What kind of behavior is deception? It is a defect in character. People with defects in character will eventually pay the price even if they are lucky enough to succeed for a while. As for not daring to face mistakes, they are not willing to face mistakes. Dare to bear the consequences. If you sow the cause, you will bear the consequences. If you don't study seriously, you will have to bear the consequences of failing in the exam. If you don't bear the responsibility and avoid it, things will only get worse. It's like you received fifty blows from a bamboo splinter, and you have to write your name zero times as a penalty." Old Man Jiang told me slowly, word for word.
His words were not profound, but he just wanted me to understand the truth behind it. His beating me was the 'result' of my own doing, because it contained the 'evil deed' of deception, so the retribution was even more serious!
In the end, my dad didn't hit me after all, but I just wrote "Chen Chengyi" with a brush on the stone table.
At this time, Su Rou's parents came with Su Rou. Quite simply, Su Rou also discovered the fact that the score had been changed.
Just kidding, Su Rou is such a shrewd person. He keeps an account of the food and clothing expenses at home more carefully than anyone else. Let’s finish the meal. If nothing else happens, just look at Su Rou’s rolls. The result is wrong. Ah, a little more alive.
When I looked carefully, I saw that the color of the score was wrong, so the meat was exposed. So, under the threat of not being able to eat, my brave "Red Army soldier" was betrayed by the traitor Surou, so the family of three The complaint came.
My father's anger was aroused again. He didn't beat me, but he scolded me bloody. My master was more direct and said, "If you teach people to misbehave, I will be punished fifty times."
And I scolded all the eighteen generations of Surou's ancestors in my stomach. You Surou, what do you think you need? 81 had to be changed to 87. You were looking for excitement. Not only did you get fatter after being beaten, but you also dragged me into the water gloriously!
***!
After that, Old Man Jiang put a 'tightening spell' on my behavior. The first rule was not to cheat, the second rule was to be magnanimous, the third rule was not to benefit oneself at the expense of others, and the fourth rule was to be honest when doing things. I set my own principles and the limits of the principles, but they must not do evil, and they must not be self-centered in everything, which means that they must not be selfish in everything.
Old Man Jiang said: "You are a person who wants to practice Taoism. I don't care about others, but people who want to practice Taoism here must first establish virtue. Virtue is the foundation. People without virtue are like a house without a foundation. Even if one day you can cultivate it Even if it goes to heaven, it must also come down."
I don’t quite understand these words, but I am afraid that Old Man Jiang will deal with me, so I have to obey him, whether it is to forcefully regulate my behavior, or to prevent me from going astray in advance, but Old Man Jiang always catches me. I have realized the key point of early education and established my personality. These are basically the principles for my future work.
In addition, there is another decision that brought tears to my eyes. From now on, my test scores will be based on Liu Chunyan's standard, and any subject cannot be lower than 10 points lower than others. Otherwise, hum...
I think that except for sports, I can steadily reach and exceed this standard, and other...
I cursed in my heart and finally made Liu Chunyan my first 'enemy' in life.
Three days after this incident, I went up the mountain. I finally went up the mountain. Old Man Jiang has been back for so long. From the first day he said he would accept me as his apprentice, to now, I, Chen Chengyi, am officially joining the disciples.
You can’t blame Old Man Jiang for this, and you can’t blame me either. Who could have expected that so many things have happened since Old Man Jiang came back to now? And to this day, there is still a tomb of a hungry ghost standing in the countryside.
Entry into a master depends on the date. Old Man Jiang is a person who does not pay attention to these things. He believes that there is a destiny in his life that cannot be run away or lost. However, Old Man Jiang pays special attention to the matter of entry, and he also pays special attention to it. Not exempt from vulgarity.
As soon as he finished his work that day, he came to tell my dad about his life, but he barged in while I was correcting my papers, which was like giving me a moral lesson before I started.
Old Man Jiang wanted to take me to the mountain to complete the initiation ceremony. He said that there was a temporary retreat for him on the mountain. Many years ago, he built it soon after he came to this area and gradually improved it.
After returning this time, I probably tidied it up and it can be used as a place for the initiation ceremony.
"This time I will take Sanwa'er with me, and I will send him back in the evening. But after tonight, Sanwa'er will come to live with me after school every day. He will stay at home on Saturdays and Sundays. On weekdays, You can also go up the mountain to see him, and I will tell you how to get to my place." This is what Old Man Jiang said to my family before he took me up the mountain to get started.
At that time, my mother burst into tears, and my father and two sisters looked unhappy and reluctant to part with it.
Fortunately, my eldest sister's cheerful personality came into play at this time. She said: "That mountain is right behind our village. It's so close. If you want, you can go and see it every day. There are students in our junior high school who live on campus, so... I think my younger brother is living in school."
After saying this, my parents suddenly felt better, and they happily sent Old Man Jiang and me out to the foot of the mountain.
Next, Old Man Jiang took me up the mountain. There is a road that goes over the mountain. In fact, it cannot be called a road. It can only be said to be a relatively clear road. However, it is only used for climbing over the mountain and will never be completed. Mountain-like.
As I said, this mountain range is not high, but it is endless, a typical Sichuan hilly terrain.
Not long after walking on that avenue, Old Man Jiang took me to a relatively remote path. It was not that easy to walk along the road, but Old Man Jiang walked very easily.
After walking along the trail for about ten minutes, at an intersection that turned downwards, Old Man Jiang led me to turn upwards, and there was a vague path.
Ordinary people would never imagine that there is a way up in this kind of terrain.
After walking along the secret path for less than 5 minutes, I saw a lush bamboo forest. Different from the gloomy bamboo forest in the cemetery, this bamboo forest gave people a feeling of freshness and elegance. People feel very comfortable after seeing it.
"Bamboo is a plant that is hollow, so it is destined to nourish the aura. There is no better place to nourish the aura. If placed in a quiet and peaceful environment, it can also form this kind of tranquility, which will make people feel more relaxed. You can't be too quiet." Old Man Jiang said casually.
I nodded and had a new understanding of bamboo as a plant in my heart. It turns out that the same thing has completely different effects and results in different environments.
This shows that it is not about the object itself, but about the original intention of the person holding the object.
A bamboo forest can be made into a place for nourishing yin by those who are willing to do so, and it can also be made into a place of tranquility and meditation for those who are willing to do so.
The mountain breeze blew with it, bringing with it the fragrance of vegetation. At this time, I also heard the sound of gurgling water, and I felt cool, comfortable and peaceful without knowing it.
When he was about to enter the bamboo forest, Old Man Jiang's expression suddenly became serious: "Sanwa'er, you have to watch your way through this bamboo forest. I won't be responsible for you if you get lost in the future. You are in this bamboo forest." Let’s spend the night.”
I was a little dissatisfied and said loudly: "Master, I am not a good person. How can I still not get out of a bamboo forest?"
Old Man Jiang glanced at me and said: "I have set up some small formations in this bamboo forest. If I don't tell you how to get out, you really can't get in, unless you get lucky and get in."
"Formation?" I don't understand these things at all. I always feel that it's just a bamboo forest. How can a formation really stop people
"It's not a very magical formation. It's easy to break. Just cut down all the bamboos here. It's just that Taoism pays attention to cleanliness. Making a formation is just to prevent disturbance or others from accidentally breaking in. Since you are going to be my disciple, you will also learn the formation, so follow me now, it’s just a gadget, walk well, it’s easy to remember.” After speaking, Old Man Jiang took the lead into the bamboo forest.
Because of his reminder, I quickly followed him into the bamboo forest.
