Chapter 3 The heat is so intense that the fields dry up
"Reading thousands of books is worse than traveling thousands of miles..."
"What a profound philosophy. The situation has suddenly become bigger."
“I didn’t expect that the Taoist priest’s insights and understanding of hiking would be so brilliant.”
"These two sentences should serve as warning words!"
[Zhuanjia] rewarded 1 Douyin No. 1 and left a message: What the Taoist said makes sense. I think this sentence can be used as a famous aphorism!
[Flowers Bloom and Wealth] rewarded 10 Douyin No. 1 and left a message: The Taoist priest is so handsome and what he said makes sense. When are you coming to Jinghai? I will entertain you alone.
"Hiss, number one among the ten fighting voices? Rich woman, please support me!"
"Upstairs, do you have the good looks and talent of a Taoist priest? Rich lady, look at me!"
The special effects of rewards and gifts kept appearing and disappearing in the live broadcast room one after another, and the popularity and the number of people were soaring.
Soon, the number of people in the live broadcast room reached 5,000, and the momentum showed no sign of stopping.
Because this famous saying by Su Yang does not exist in this world, and this famous saying is like a shortened version of a poem to encourage people to learn, which is very inspiring to people.
Especially when Su Yang said such a famous aphorism casually, it was even more shocking.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for reaching 1,000 preachers! Fame value +1,000"
"Ding, congratulations to the host for reaching 1,000 preachers! Fame value +1,000"
…
The voices that kept ringing in his mind made Su Yang feel happy. The sudden increase in the number of preachers should be the reason for the live broadcast of preaching.
On the way to the next, Su Yang spent most of his time focused on traveling, occasionally looking at the live broadcast room and interacting with friends.
But even so, the popularity of the live broadcast room remains high, and the amount of gifts for rewards has reached as high as 100,000. At the same time, the number of preachers is still rising steadily.
"Is it getting dark soon?"
Su Yang looked up at the setting sun on the horizon and breathed a sigh of relief.
When I was wondering whether I should sleep on the roadside at night, I caught a glimpse of a small village not far away from my peripheral vision.
Su Yang walked towards the village.
"Is Taoist Master going to stay overnight?"
"Not only do you have to stay overnight, but you also have to eat, haha."
"That's true. Taoist priests are human beings too. They also need to eat and sleep. I just want to know if the Taoist master can successfully stay overnight. After all, I have never seen a Taoist priest, but I have seen many monks."
…
When approaching the village, Su Yang also introduced relevant knowledge to the netizens in the live broadcast room.
"Alms alms are also divided into big ones and small ones."
"To transform a big fate is to seek good nature and build merit, and to transform a small fate is to beg for food."
"And there are rules for alms. You can only go to seven households for one meal. If you don't get alms at all, you will have to starve."
"There is such a saying. This is the first time I've heard of it."
"My brain feels so itchy, I've learned so much."
"Huh? Alchemy, isn't it Buddhist? He's a fake Taoist, right?"
Su Yang glanced at the barrage and said calmly: "The word alms comes from Taoism. It's just that Taoism lets nature take its course and doesn't specifically promote it. People don't pay much attention to it, so naturally they don't understand it that much."
"I just did a search, why does Qiandu Encyclopedia say that alms are Buddhist?"
[Academician of Northern Qing Dynasty History] rewarded a Douyin and left a message: What this Taoist said is correct. It can be traced back to the origin of Taoism. Many titles and expressions in Buddhism are derived from Taoism.
"Holy shit, academician of the Northern Qing Dynasty? I was surprised to see the big boss, now I am convinced."
"Qiandu Encyclopedia is a fool. If it were me, I would be able to talk nonsense."
Arriving at the door of a house, Su Yang was about to step forward when an elderly grandmother with gray hair walked out of the house.
Seeing Su Yang's Taoist attire, the old woman's eyes lit up and her face was filled with respect.
"Taoist Priest, what's going on?"
"A layman is polite!" Su Yang smiled and nodded: "I am a poor Taoist who is traveling around to preach. I happened to pass by this place as it was getting late, so I wanted to come and spend the night. Please forgive me for disturbing you!"
"Hey, don't disturb me. Please come in quickly, Taoist priest. It's too hot outside. I'll get you a glass of water first."
The old woman couldn't help but pulled Su Yang into the house hurriedly, very enthusiastically.
Seeing this, Su Yang smiled and bowed to express his gratitude without saying too much.
"Have you noticed that this old lady has a very good attitude towards the Taoist priest?"
"In fact, rural people are very hospitable."
After pouring a glass of cold water for Su Yang, the old lady saw that it was getting dark outside and asked again: "You haven't eaten yet? I'm going to cook."
"Thank you, layman. Just have something to eat."
Su Yang waved his hand quickly, this old lady was too polite.
"It's okay, Taoist priest. Look, I am a believer. It's rare for a Taoist priest to come to your door and make you hungry."
After saying that, the old lady walked to the kitchen to prepare for cooking.
Seeing this, Su Yang smiled bitterly and felt a little more grateful in his heart.
Looking around, Su Yang found that there was a wooden statue of Taoism and the Moral God placed on the counter in the old woman's home.
In addition, the table in her home is also the Eight Immortals Table, with the lifelike statues of the Eight Immortals on it.
Thinking of this, Su Yang couldn't help but think of what the old lady said just now, that she believed in Taoism.
"The Greater Good."
Su Yang raised the corners of his mouth slightly and nodded with a smile.
"Good guy, this is full of Taoist atmosphere. I asked why the old lady respects the Taoist priest so much. It turns out she is a believer. I thought she was interested in the Taoist priest's face."
"Nowadays, let alone believers, I rarely see even Taoist priests."
"I have seen monks on the streets every day, but I have never seen Taoist priests."
…
"The food is ready." After the old lady served the last dish, she took off her apron and said, "Taoist priest, don't hold back. Come over and eat quickly. My grandma is not a good cook, so don't dislike her."
"No, no, there are so many dishes, it's too late for me to thank you."
Su Yang looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table, smiled and waved his hands, and at the same time motioned to the old lady to sit down and eat together.
"Do you usually stay home alone?"
Su Yang asked while eating.
"No, my wife and I usually go out to do farm work, but this year the weather is extremely hot. It has not rained for two months in a row. It is really too hot."
"My wife just asks me to rest at home and cook for him while he goes out to do his own business."
Originally, the old lady still had a smile on her face, but when she mentioned the scorching hot weather, her face suddenly darkened and her brows furrowed.
"Eh? Old man, are you back? Come over for dinner."
Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man with dark skin and a stooped figure walked out of the house.
He is about fifty years old, but his face is full of vicissitudes of life.
"This is the Taoist priest who passed by our house, and this is my wife."
"Hello!"
After a brief introduction from the old lady, Su Yang and the old man greeted each other.
Although the old man is not as pious and respectful as the old woman, he still has basic courtesy.
After a busy day, the old man basically lay half-ly on the table while eating, complaining about the weather.
"The weather is terrible. When will it rain? The crops have been burned to death."
The uncle’s complaint also resonated with many netizens.
"Yes, it's almost melting from the heat when I'm at home. I can't imagine how hot it would be if I were working outside."
"I will go to the Buddhist temple tonight to pray for rain. If it doesn't rain, I will knock down all the Buddha statues."
"Buddha: If it doesn't rain, what does it have to do with me?"
