My weird life

Chapter 1464 Agreement

After Wu Daoxuan spoke, he stared at Yang Huizhi's face, trying to see some clues from his expression.

There is a hidden secret in his words.

As if Yang Huizhi didn't hear the edge in Wu Daoxuan's words, he smiled calmly and replied to Wu Daoxuan: "Brother, how do you think a saint should care for me?

Could it be that I think that if I am well-dressed, well-off, and well-paid, I am under the care of a saint? "

“People should always pursue something in this life.

Whether it is for fame or profit, they can all be counted among the pursuits of life. Although people at that time were ashamed to talk about fame and fortune, but which of them had not been working hard for fame and fortune all their lives?

Can junior brother fall into the secular world?

I feel that even if that person couldn't give you a high official and a generous salary, even if he couldn't make you rich and well-dressed, he wouldn't let you become so blind! "Wu Daozi said loudly. His tone could remain calm at first, but later on, there was a hint of resentment in his voice. When he finished the last sentence, the resentment was almost ready to come out.

But I don't know whether he was complaining about Yang Huizhi becoming blind, or whether he was using this incident to express his frustration.

Nearly five years have passed, Wu Daoxuan was once very powerful, relied upon by saints, and was the rectifier of divine armor. If he could lead the craftsmen to create armor that was similar to human armor, then his current reputation would be as high as that of Yang Huizhi. two!

It's a pity that even though he was in the top position, he got nothing in the end.

Even after 'that one' was named the Duke of Zhenguo, the emperor's attention to Shenjia Division gradually declined, and all the resources given to Shenjia Division were also withdrawn.

Shenjiaji was thrown into a corner, and gradually no one cared about it.

He, the god-like Sizheng, has become an insignificant speck of dust in the time!

His rise was due to joining forces with Zhang Wu to forge the first sect of human armor, and his decline was also due to Zhang Wu's rise being too fast, so that all his light was eclipsed by the other's. If it is covered up, it will not show its prominence in this world.

Wu Daozi even sometimes had some weird thoughts - if Zhang Wu didn't exist in this world, people as depressed as himself might be able to get some opportunities and take advantage of the opportunity to rise to the top!

Zhang Wu robbed him of the opportunity to achieve something!

Although Yang Huizhi is blind, his spirit is as clear as a mirror. Now he can easily 'see' the frustration in Wu Daozi's heart and know what the other party is resenting.

He sighed and turned to ask, "Where did senior brother come from in Huashan?

It was a long journey, and my body was very tired. "

Wu Daozi looked stiff and shook his head: "I came from Chang'an. It's not far from here, but I'm not very tired either."

"How are you, Mrs. Sister-in-law? But you and I haven't seen each other for nearly five years.

Five years... for a young man, it is nothing but leisure.

But for older people like you and me, it can be said that the world has changed a lot. "Yang Huizhi asked again.

Hearing his words, Wu Daoxuan looked a little touched, his eyes dimmed, he was silent for a long time, and then said: "Xiuyun passed away three years ago.

She is bedridden, but her husband cannot spare a single cent of money to buy medicine for her... I failed her..."

Yang Huizhi was greatly shocked, frowned and said to Wu Daozi: "Senior brother is in trouble, why don't you speak up?

Even if you can't find me, you can go straight to the Zhensi Divine Works Bureau and report my name to get help..."

Halfway through his words, he realized something, sighed again, and lowered his head: "My wife has also passed away three years ago... I suffered a lot in the first half of her life, and the root of the disease has already been left in her body. After all, I am not A good man..."

Wu Daozi lowered his eyebrows and recalled all the scenes before and after the birth of his beloved wife. The situation at that time, now that he recalled it, he could clearly remember it!

All the pressure in the past made him breathless, and he was even more depressed. At this moment, he suddenly heard Yang Huizhi also tell the story of his wife's death. He suddenly raised his head and stared at Yang Huizhi's gloomy face. For some reason, deep down in his heart, The resentment and depression suddenly dissipated a lot.

Wu Daozi hoarse his voice and laughed a few times like a night owl.

All the experiences in the past have molded him into the gloomy and weird old man he is now, but his junior brother who he originally thought would make everything perfect now doesn't look any better than him.

"So even if you are respected as a plastic saint by everyone in the world and pursue it all your life, what will you get in the end?" Wu Daozi said with a smile. He seemed to be asking Yang Huizhi, but in fact he was also asking himself.

I spent my whole life striving for fame and fortune, but what did I get in the end?

Yang Huizhi lowered his eyebrows, listening to his senior brother's questions, recalling the past, and suddenly there was a look of satisfaction on his face: "I moved away from Chang'an a few years ago, and Yu Qiuniang settled in a small village.

When Qiuniang died, all the neighbors came to help.

Her bed was surrounded by neighbors, relatives and friends who came to comfort her.

Although she fell ill and died, the saint left me a mantra so that she could sleep without pain.

Throughout my life, I have been guided by saints, and I have finally made some achievements in the field of sculpture.

After the image of the dragon god spitting water was carved, the people there carried pots and ladles of slurry and sent it to each other along the way;

When I was making the relief sculpture of the Eighteen Arhats, I saved a child.

That child was adopted as my adopted daughter.

I now have over forty adopted children and daughters.

Most of them are still too young, so I put them at home, otherwise my senior brother would still be able to see them;

After making a statue of a dragon swallowing a coffin..."

Yang Huizhi talked about his past experiences and achievements in his life, and his face seemed to be glowing faintly in the darkness.

His face was full of satisfaction, without any trace of resentment or injustice: "When I am sculpting mountain spirits outside, I will inevitably be exposed to the wind, sun, and rain. The saint also repeatedly advised me to stay at home and rest because of my advanced age. Many tasks could be done by my disciples, but I refused to do so.

Brother, do you know why?

It is precisely because of the praise and gratitude of the people after calming down the troubles in this place that it is really satisfying and addictive!

Senior brother, my pursuits were the same as yours in the past, both for high-ranking officials and generous salaries and for fame to be spread throughout the world. However, later on, I gradually discovered that the pleasure brought by doing things for the world is greater than the pleasure brought by high-ranking officials and showing nobility. Much more happiness!

Senior brother asked me before, how did I become blind in these eyes?

——Because with this pair of physical eyes, I have truly seen the existence of the ‘true meaning of heaven and man’!

So God wants to blind me.

But since then, my heart has been immersed in the true meaning of all things and spirits all the time.

If you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening.

I have entered the Tao and would be satisfied even if I died, not to mention only being blind in one pair of eyes?

All I want in life is satisfied, so why should I pursue high-ranking officials, rich clothes and fine food? ! "

From the look on his junior brother Yang Huizhi's face, Wu Daozi saw his gleaming and perfect spirit. The brilliance emanating from his spirit made him feel ashamed for a moment and a little angry at the same time. He suddenly raised his voice and interrupted his junior brother: " Can your mind really see the true meaning of all things and spirits?

I have been working hard for more than four years, and my heart is full of ravines. Now there is a painting ready to be painted - I also have an intuition that this painting must be the best painting in my life!

Junior brother, why don't you and I compete? ! "

His real purpose here is to compete with the sculpture saint Yang Huizhi. With the help of this competition, he will become famous all over the world and let the world know that he, Wu Daozi, can also become a saint and a painting saint!

This is his original true thought!

As for now, he doesn't care whether his name can be spread all over the world through this incident. He only hopes that the work he has devoted his whole life to can surpass his junior brother!

"Why not?" Yang Huizhi smiled.

"Okay! Then please ask your junior brother to bring your disciples some paper and pen, and we will compete on the spot!" Wu Daozi pressed forward step by step.

He stared closely at Yang Huizhi's face, but saw Yang Huizhi shaking his head: "It's late tonight, and there are not many spectators on the mountain anymore.

Wouldn't it be a pity if my brother's work, which he put so much effort into, could not be spread throughout the world through the mouths of onlookers? "Yang Huizhi said, "What's more, senior brother has climbed a dangerous mountain to this point. I haven't fulfilled my friendship as a landlord, so I have to compete with him. It would be disrespectful. "

Wu Daozi shook his head repeatedly: "All these red tapes can be omitted!"

Now he only wants to have a fight with his junior brother!

But the junior brother still refused, and what Yang Huizhi said made Wu Daozi suddenly fall silent: "When you and I compete, we always need a witness.

Although my disciples understand the true meaning of heaven and man, their vision is not higher than that of you and me. Using them as witnesses and judgments, they are not capable enough to take on big responsibilities.

And today, the only people in the world who can be such witnesses are saints.

It took the saint as little as three to five days, or as much as half a month, to reach Mount Huashan.

At that time, why don't you and I have a competition under the witness of everyone in the world, and let the saints decide the outcome? "

Yang Huizhi's words made Wu Daozi fall silent again.

He sat there, stunned for a long time, and finally nodded: "That's fine."

The matter of the competition has been decided.

However, Wu Daozi did not worry that the saints Zhang Wu and Yang Huizhi would favor Yang Huizhi because they were both members of the Suppression Division.

This situation is strange to say - although Wu Daozi resented Zhang Wu and felt that Zhang Wu had ruined his life's future, he also firmly believed that Zhang Wu must be fair and impartial. Even after hearing his junior brother's suggestion, he immediately Junior Brother Intuition's suggestion is excellent - there is no one more suitable to be the judge than Zhang Wu!

"Senior brother, I think you haven't had dinner yet. Why don't you and your junior brother have a vegetarian meal at Ziyun Temple?

Although it is a simple meal, it has a special taste. Yang Huizhi had a smile on his face. He put down the tools in his hands, put his hands on his knees, and tried to stand up tremblingly.

Wu Daozi grabbed him at this time, but turned his gaze to Wang Quan, who was beside him and did not dare to express his anger.

Wang Quan had been a bystander for nearly half an hour. Many of the conversations between the two of them were incomprehensible to him, but the bits of content he accidentally understood shocked him even more. Later, because he knew It was too much, and I didn't even dare to breathe.

At this moment, Wu Daozi looked at him, making his heart skip a beat.

He looked begging for mercy to Wu Daozi, but he heard Wu Daozi pull the arm of Plastic Sage and said to Plastic Sage: "Junior brother, you might as well take a look at this young man.

He is determined to achieve something in the field of sculpture.

Junior brother, do you think he is the material? "

Yang Huizhi's face turned towards Wang Quan. Wang Quan immediately straightened his back and his heart was beating fast. He was filled with infinite hope for a while, and was confused for a while!

The Sculptor asked him at this time: "Have you ever been a sculptor before?"

“It’s been done, it’s been done!

I...I have been in this business for more than ten years!

Whether it is carving Buddha statues for temples, shaping gods, or carving on tables, chairs and benches, etc., I have done it all, and I am pretty good at it! "Wang Quan replied quickly.

As he spoke, he observed Yang Huizhi's expression. Seeing that Yang Huizhi gradually frowned as he listened to his statement, he couldn't help but lower his voice, and his heart became more and more flustered.

Yang Huizhi spoke at this time: "In more than ten years of sculpture, have you ever had some kind of mysterious feeling?

For example, after a sculpture, you suddenly found that you had missed many key details, but the sculptured works have an unusual charm? "

Wu Daozi had asked this question before!

Wang Quan looked gloomy, and he already knew what the final result would be.

He forced a smile and said, "I have never encountered such a situation..."

"Hmm..." Yang Huizhi pondered and turned his face to Wu Daozi. Although he said it clearly, the implication was already very clear - Wang Quan was really not the kind of person who could enter the Tao in sculpture!

But these words, said directly, were too hurtful.

Finally, Yang Huizhi said: "Since it is recommended by my senior brother, you can also let the young man find a job in the Shengong Bureau temporarily. Sculpture may not work, but there are other arts to practice.

Even if other arts cannot be accomplished, it doesn't matter.

Most of the craftsmen in the Shengong Bureau cannot enter the Tao, and being a craftsman in the Shengong Bureau is also very good. "

Wang Quan smiled bitterly upon hearing this, shook his head, bowed to the Sculptor, and said: "Thank you for your teachings. Since I am not the material for this, I don't want to stay here to trouble you. I will go down the mountain now. I will rest in Taohuayu tonight and go down the mountain tomorrow..."

After saying this, he got up and was about to leave.

"Wait!"

At this time, Wu Daozi suddenly called him.

Wu Daoxuan looked at him with a slanted look, looking like a weird old man: "See if what I said is right?

You are not the material for this!

I have shown you the way, don't you thank me?"

The weird old man's words at this time were like a mental torture for Wang Quan. His eyes became even dimmer, but the situation was stronger than the person, so he didn't dare to scold Wu Daozi, so he bowed to Wu Daozi: "Thank you!

Goodbye!"

"Goodbye what? "Wu Daozi narrowed his eyes.

Wang Quan's face flushed. He was already over thirty years old. He felt insulted by Wu Daozi's words and couldn't help but have tears in his eyes: "I am of low status and I definitely don't have any future... I don't think I will have the chance to meet a big man like you again...

Then we will never see each other again. Please take care!"
