The Shocking and Extraordinary Romance of the Great Sage

Zhang Guolao was riding a gray and white donkey backwards and was wandering around the farmyard. As he walked forward, he happened to meet the salesman Ke Tengjiadu. I saw him carrying a load of groceries, holding the pole with his left hand, shaking a rattle with his right hand, and shouted:"Selling goods, selling goods, all are top-quality goods; first-class goods, cheap goods, it depends on whether you know the goods or not." He shouted over and over again. , I wish the man with the white beard and the donkey could buy it, but he didn’t see the donkey coming. As I was chasing the donkey, I heard the elder riding the donkey beating the fishing drum and singing happily:

Sharpening a knife will hurt one's own flesh.

If you seek wealth, you will not be able to do so. Having too much wealth will harm you for a long time.

Many people die in their prime, all because they are not good at cultivation.

Jealousy is a demonic mind that harms others and harms itself.

It is better to seek harmony than to seek division.

Do not regard selfishness as a virtue, do not hate your neighbor as an enemy.

Compassion can heal the heart, but money can't solve all sorrows.

If you are not on the right track in your life, it will be difficult to raise your head in life.

Hearing this, the Teng family hurriedly put down the bag, rushed after him, and shouted:"White Beard, come down quickly, come on!" Guo Lao clamped his legs, the donkey stopped, turned over, raised his head and said:"Donor What's your business?" The salesman came closer and said,"Old man, you're singing it wrong, right?" Mr. Guo smiled calmly and said,"Which part is wrong?" The Teng family said alone: ​​"I won't say anything else, but the last two That's right!" Guo Lao said:"If you don't follow the right path, it will be difficult to raise your head in life. What's wrong with that?" The Teng family said alone: ​​"It's wrong! It's not right for my family, but for my family. From our point of view. From my parents to the younger generation, I have always done everything right and been an upright person. Why is my family in decline and my business losing money? The two elders died young, forcing me, the son of a big businessman, to have no choice but to shake a rattle, pick up a burden to sell, and shout at the top of my voice. It’s broken, and there aren’t many people buying the goods, so how can you raise your head?" Guo Lao looked up to the sky and smiled heartily, saying:"If you are on the right track, you will definitely be able to raise your head and your business will be prosperous. Your business is losing money, your family is in ruins, and you have no other options. , it’s hard to hold your head up in life, it must be because you are not on the right track and you are dishonest." The Teng family glared sharply:"You old man! You are talking nonsense to say that an honest person like me is dishonest!" , was furious, pointed at the bridge of Guo Lao's nose, and shouted:"You are chewing nonsense! Tell me! What is wrong with my salesman! How is he dishonest!?"

Zhang Guolao calmly said calmly:"Haha, flies are flying. There is also a shadow in the past. Your words and deeds as a salesman are known to everyone on the road, and you are a household name around the East Market. You go around fanning the flames and saying that the butcher's wife An is having an affair with the son of the Liu family on Qian Street, and the son of the Liu family has been in the past for half a year. If you are not at home, aren't you talking nonsense! Tu Shisheng originally asked his wife to send food to help the old man of the Liu family and do good deeds when he saw that the old man of the Liu family could not open the pot. But you framed a good daughter, causing the Tu family to almost kill the loyal, filial, benevolent and righteous An family. Kicked out of the house. The two elders of the Tu family checked everywhere, but nothing happened. Tu Shisheng didn't divorce his good wife! You, Teng Guolang, are such a harm to others. You just don't follow the right path, you are dishonest!! This is called"churenwen" If you are not upright, you will never be able to lift your head in life, understand?!"

In fact, those who harm others feel guilty, and sometimes feel guilty for a moment. The Teng family lowered their heads and said in frustration:"Hey, old man, why are you so polite to me?" Guo Lao said:"I've been here in the East Market for a long time, how can anything escape my ears?" Concentrating on being wronged, they protected their respective faces and said sophistry:"Oh, about the Liu family of the Tu family... I also heard what the three outsiders said, how could I have the intention to harm the An family of the Tu family! I also heard it on the way...... I have no enmity with the An family at all or even close to each other... How could I harm her?!" After hearing this, Guo Lao felt that this salesman was stubborn and refused to admit his mistakes, so he beat the fishing drum and sang a sentimental song:

Dongfeng at the Beginning of Summer There will be less illness and disaster, and more fruits will be born on the eighth day of the lunar month.

On the Gengchen day of Leiwu Jiazi, the owner of the house was invaded by locusts.
