The sky is gray and bright, and the Fuqiu Temple, surrounded by mountains, is crowded with people. In the main hall, Su Beigu's figure swayed slightly, and the person next to her reached out to help her before she managed to regain her balance.

The female Taoist next to him asked, "What's wrong with Beigu? Are

you feeling unwell?" Su Beigu said, "Master, it's nothing serious."

"Your body is already weak and you have been practicing for the past few days. I have been offering incense, offering praises, and proclaiming my prayers until now. You have been tired for the past four hours, so go and rest first!"

Su Beigu was indeed very tired. He had practiced selflessly these past few days, forgetting that his body was different from his previous life. , can't stand her torture. For the sake of his own life, he didn't try to be brave and prepared to go back to Kundao's courtyard to rest.

When passing the Yuanchen Hall, Su Beigu saw three or two figures inside, kneeling devoutly on futons to worship Yuanjun Doumu in the middle and the sixty Yuanchen gods around him, and to offer incense.

Many people know that during the Lantern Festival, there are fasting rituals at Fuqiu Temple, so they came here last night. The rich and powerful found a room to rest in the back yard. The poor and powerful spent the night at the foot of the mountain or worked outside. At midnight, grab the first incense stick.

Some people who fail to catch up with the fasting ceremony will rush to the Taoist temple to offer incense before dawn. The rituals are not over yet, so the main hall is the most crowded place. Yuanchen Hall is located in the northwest corner of Fuqiu Temple. The hall is small, and the hall is not dedicated to well-known gods. Therefore, although there are few pilgrims in the hall at the moment, there are still a lot of people. Also normal.

While Su Beigu paused for a while, a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old who had just grown haircut turned around after applying incense and met her face to face. The first thing she saw was a pair of tear-filled autumn eyes, but before she could see clearly, the other person hurried away like a frightened rabbit.

Su Beigu didn't pay attention, but she didn't expect that when she woke up after resting for an hour, she would see this girl again under the wishing tree outside.

It was already daylight, and the outside of the Taoist temple was full of stalls. Many vendors took advantage of the crowds of people at the Taoist temple on the Lantern Festival to start business here. Some sold incense, some sold wooden wishing tablets, and some sold paper kites.

The group of pilgrims who went up the mountain earlier have already come down, but after dawn, many pilgrims came one after another to offer incense. Without exception, they all went straight to the temple, and only a few stayed outside the Taoist temple.

Su Bei looked at the big banyan tree that was not responsible for fulfilling wishes. It was covered with various wishing signs. Red and green ribbons fluttered in the wind, entangled with the aerial roots, and decorated it.

At this time, from the corner of Su Beigu's eye, he caught a glimpse of a girl who had been trying to throw the wishing card onto the banyan tree. However, after several attempts, the wishing card passed through the branches and leaves ruthlessly and fell to the ground.

She turned around and saw that the girl was not discouraged. She stubbornly picked up the wishing card and insisted on throwing it on the branch closest to her.

Su Beigu looked at it for a while. Although he didn't want to meddle in other people's business, he couldn't help but remind him: "The lower the branches, the longer they extend outwards, and the fewer branches and leaves near the trunk, which means they can catch it and prevent it from falling." The fewer obstacles fall. You can either throw it up or hang it outside."

The girl glanced at her and said, "This tree will be cleaned once a month. Take off part of the wishing card on it to prevent it from being crushed. Branches. If I throw them too high, wouldn't it be difficult for others to clean them up?"

Su Beigu felt strange: "The reason why others hang wishing signs here is because they hope that their wishes can reach heaven and be fulfilled. If they are taken down, their wishes will be fulfilled. Maybe it won't come true, so no one wants their wish cards to be cleared. You want to make a wish, but you don't care whether the wish can come true. Isn't this a contradiction?" "How is this a contradiction? My wish has been granted

. Next, whether I can succeed depends on God. If God fulfills my wish, it will be fulfilled long ago and will not wait for a month. Besides, it is common sense to make a wish and not to cause trouble to others. You are here Taoist priest, why don't you even understand this?"

Su Beigu was speechless. She didn't expect that she would be taught how to behave by a little girl.

At this time, she forgot that she was just a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old.

Tan Ruyi was questioned by a little Taoist priest who looked younger than him and very weak, and looked like he was going to see the Lord of Hell at any time. He felt a little unhappy, but he still told the truth what he thought.

I thought that the little Taoist priest would wave his sleeves angrily and walk away, just like the children in the village who got angry at her, scolded her, made faces, and then walked away without looking back, but no. Thinking of the little Taoist priest, after being slightly dazed, not only did he not leave with a straight face, but instead showed her a gentle smile.

"You're right." The little Taoist priest nodded, and then asked her, "Can I take the liberty to ask, what is your wish?"

Tan Ruyi thought to herself, this little Taoist priest has a really good temper. It's just that he has some bad luck. This sick little Taoist priest has been with him for a long time. I wonder if he will die because of this bad luck.

Tan Ruyi didn't want to stay for a long time, but the little Taoist priest stretched out his hand to her: "If you don't want to say it's okay, I'll throw it for you. I'm sure you can hang it up." Tan Ruyi didn't believe her, but maybe he had never had anyone of his own age

. She was so kind to her that she lost her bearings and handed over the wishing card in a daze.

The little Taoist priest said: "No matter what wish you make, I hope your wish comes true!"

After saying that, she threw it lightly on the branch. The wishing card was thrown into the air, fell immediately, and hung accurately on the thick branch. The branch originally had several branches, and one of the branches was obviously broken because of too many wishing cards. There is only a small piece left. The little Taoist priest threw it away, and the wishing card just hung on that small section. Unless it was taken off by someone, it would be unlikely to fall off despite the wind and rain.

Tan Ruyi pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.

This little Taoist priest is very lucky, right? !

The little Taoist priest also seemed very satisfied with her masterpiece. She smiled slightly and said, "You must have come here very early? I saw you in Yuanchen Hall at the beginning of Mao Shi." Tan Ruyi originally thought that the little Taoist priest looked familiar,

but She didn't think about it for a while, but after the little Taoist priest mentioned it, she remembered that the figure she glanced at in Yuanchen Hall before dawn was actually the little Taoist priest!

"I came here last night." Tan Ruyi said.

She didn't plan to talk too much to the little Taoist priest. After all, in the countryside, no one of her own age could speak to her for more than three sentences.

She was also used to being alone, and suddenly someone had talked to her for so long and even hung up the wishing sign with her. While she felt uncomfortable, she also longed for time to pass more slowly.

"Aren't you sleepy?" the little Taoist asked.

"Sleepy." Qin Ruyi replied subconsciously, then thought of something and shook her head quickly, "I'm not sleepy."

The little Taoist priest said: "There is an empty room in the backyard, you can go and have a rest."

No one has shown kindness to him like the little Taoist priest. , Tan Ruyi took a small step back at a loss, and said: "No, my parents are still praying for Aweng inside, I can't go and rest alone." The little Taoist suddenly realized: "So if you make a wish here, you are also praying for Aweng

. It's related to you Aweng."

Tan Ruyi's reason told her that she shouldn't have said so much to this little Taoist priest, but emotionally she was extremely reluctant to let go of this little Taoist priest who was rarely willing to talk to her so much.

Without worrying too much, she blurted out: "My brother-in-law has suffered a stroke. He can't get up and down the bed, and he can't speak clearly. The doctor said that his left hand is probably useless in the future... Our family is a coffin maker and carpenter, Ah. Weng is the head of the family. After his hands were no longer able to do carpentry, the burden fell on my father."

She did not dare to tell the truth, fearing that the little Taoist priest would not want to spend more time with her after learning that her family was a coffin maker. Stayed.

The little Taoist priest murmured: "It's a stroke. It would be fine in the early stage, but when it reaches the point where I can't move, I'm afraid it won't be cured." Not sure what he thought of, the little Taoist priest sighed again and looked at his hands

. Hand, lost in thought, "Even if it can be cured, what can I do with this broken body now?"

When Tan Ruyi heard the first sentence of hers, her eyes lit up, but when she heard the second half of the sentence, the light in her eyes It disappeared in an instant:

Yes, the little Taoist looked like he was dying young. It was hard to say who would live longer, between her and Aweng. How could I put my hope in her?

The little Taoist priest's eyes suddenly fell on her hands and said: "Don't be too sad. As long as you are determined and keep exercising, this stroke syndrome will not be alleviated. Also, your hands must be doing carpentry a lot." Yes, since you, Aweng, can't share the pressure for your father, you can definitely do it!"

Tan Ruyi didn't expect the little Taoist priest to say this. She was stunned and said: "But I am a woman, and women cannot inherit the entire family legacy. Craftsmanship."

The little Taoist priest frowned and did not say anything about "women can also do carpentry", but asked: "Then what skills have you learned?" "

Painting coffins..." Tan Ruyi said, She almost bit her tongue, and when she realized what she had said, it was too late to take it back.

Tan Ruyi felt herself so nervous that her heartbeat stopped for a beat. She held her breath and looked at the little Taoist priest anxiously. Unexpectedly, the little Taoist priest didn't care at all, but asked with great interest: "Does coffin painting mean painting on the coffin?"

Tan Ruyi nodded hesitantly: "Sometimes they also carve patterns on it."

The little Taoist priest said: "Then It definitely requires profound artistic skills to do it, you are amazing!"

Tan Ruyi's eyes were fixed on the little Taoist priest, trying to see the flaw in her lie on her face, but the little Taoist priest still had the same face. She was pale and bloodless, but there was a warm, radiant smile on her face that reflected the spring breeze, which reflected into Tan Ruyi's heart.

The waveless surface of the ancient well is like a dragonfly passing by, raising a circle of shallow microwaves.

"But, but I am painting on the coffin. Our family has been making coffins for generations." Tan Ruyi emphasized.

The little Taoist priest said optimistically: "Coffins, like houses, are for people to live in, so there is no difference between making a coffin and building a house, right?" Tan Ruyi was shocked. After being shocked, he couldn't help but murmured: "There is still a difference

. The house is for the living, and the coffin is for the dead."

The little Taoist laughed, her voice clear and sweet, but it made her temperament even more refreshing, cheerful, indifferent and free.

"You are right. Living people want to live comfortably, and dead people also want to lie down decently. Therefore, whether it is a craftsman building a house for the living or a carpenter making a coffin for the dead, there is essentially no difference, let alone high or low. In the same way, men can pick up hammers to do carpentry, and women can naturally pick up Dinglan scales to measure dimensions. It's all survival of the fittest, so why bother to stick to those rules and regulations?" These words were said in an understatement, but they were deafening

. Hearing this, Tan Ruyi couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. After a while, he whispered: "But dealing with dead people is easy to get bad luck. I am a woman and I belong to Yin, so I am more likely to get dirty things. You Aren't you afraid?"

This kind of thinking was the mainstream, and the little Taoist priest didn't bother to correct it one by one. He just said: "I am a Taoist priest, and there is nothing in this world that I am afraid of-" Her words stopped abruptly, and after a moment, she added, " Ahem, there are no evil spirits that I'm afraid of."

Tan Ruyi felt that a few fish had jumped into the "water pool" that the dragonfly had just passed by, and were swimming in it.

She said: "You are a Taoist priest and you are not afraid of me, but others are."

"That's because they are ignorant. Why do you punish yourself because of their ignorance?"

Tan Ruyi said nothing. The little Taoist priest probably knew that what he said was unfounded. She Looking around, he suddenly saw something. His eyes lit up. He walked up to a small vendor in three steps and said, "How do you sell this Dinglan ruler?" "This is a magic weapon-" The small vendor just

said He looked up and saw a young Taoist priest in front of his stall. He looked like a Taoist priest with a high status in his attire. He immediately swallowed the rhetoric he used to deceive the pilgrims and said with a smile, "This is Ding Lan's ruler. The scales on it are all Very accurate..."

The little Taoist priest smiled and said: "Your Ding Lan ruler is made of new wood and is easily deformed. It costs twenty cents." The vendor opened his mouth

, but did not have the courage to speak loudly, so he said: "Since it is a Taoist ruler, If the leader wants it, then I will give the Taoist priest a favor and sell it for twenty cents!"

The young Taoist bought the Dinglan ruler and recited something to it that no one else could understand, which seemed like a mantra. Her fingertips traced across it, and the nearby vendor seemed to see a light flashing with her fingertips. For just a moment, he didn't see it clearly. When he blinked, there was still some light somewhere. ? !

"Here." The little Taoist priest gave the Dinglan Ruler to Tan Ruyi, "I cast the magic, and with it accompanying me, you don't have to be afraid of bad luck." The little Taoist priest's face looked much worse than before, but Tan Ruyi was focused on Dinglan

. On the ruler, I didn't notice it.

Of course, she felt that the little Taoist priest was coaxing her about "casting spells", but the other party was willing to coax her just to make her feel at ease. How could she live up to this intention?

"Thank you..."

The little Taoist priest left.

Tan Ruyi was still standing under the banyan tree in a daze. There were too many people and things in her heart today. She needed to sort out and digest them slowly, and even... Suddenly, a small vendor popped up next to her: "Little lady, this is a handful.

" Do you want to sell the Dinglan Ruler?"

Tan Ruyi said warily: "No."

"The Taoist priest just bought it from me for twenty cents. If I buy it from you for fifty cents, you will definitely not lose money! "

Tin Ruyi is not stupid: "I won't sell it for a hundred cents."

The vendor persisted and raised the price to two hundred cents. Tan Ruyi was determined and refused to let go. She was even afraid that he would come to rob her, so she held Ding Lan's ruler. Ran away.

Seeing this, the vendor next to him smiled and said, "I have a Dinglan ruler here, do you want it? I'll sell it to you for two hundred cents."

The vendor pouted at him and said, "That Dinglan ruler just now was cast by a real person. A magic weapon that has been illuminated, how can your ordinary Dinglan ruler be worth that price!"

Tan Ruyi, who had not run far, was stunned. She looked back at the small vendor who was still arguing with others, and then walked in the direction where the little Taoist priest left. I chased after him, but to my surprise, the little Taoist priest was no longer in the Taoist temple.

She stopped a passing female Taoist priest to inquire. The female Taoist priest looked at her deeply, her eyes fell on Ding Lan's ruler, and then said: "She gave you the magic weapon without leaving a name. It means that she just wants to accumulate merit. You don't need to say thank you or miss her, she still has to practice, so don't disturb her."

People were coming and going in Fuqiu Temple, smoke was curling up, and Tan Ruyi stood among them, looking around blankly.

A woman in Sanju Taoist uniform hurriedly passed behind Tan Ruyi. As she walked, she muttered: "Why is my junior uncle so sick? Wasn't he fine the past two days?" "Maybe he is tired today

. Don't worry, she gets sick every now and then, and she'll be fine after practicing for a while."

Tan Ruyi turned around to look, but before she could really see the appearance of the scattered Taoist priest passing by, her parents appeared in front of her. Zhong asked her: "Ruyi, where have you been this morning?"

Tan Guan saw the Dinglan ruler in her hand and said, "Did you bring the Dinglan ruler out?"

Tan Ruyi subconsciously took Dinglan ruler out. Chi received it behind her back and said, "This is a gift from someone else."

Tan Guan and Zhong were not interested in what others gave her, so they said, "It's time to go home."

Tan Ruyi wanted to say something, but seeing her parents' tired expressions, she swallowed all her words.

The author has something to say:

Well, here are the perspectives of three people.
