Fan Ruoshui was greatly disappointed. He didn't expect his life to be so bad. He didn't have the life of a senior official or an emperor.
If in the past, others said his life was bad, he would be furious and very angry, but now it was said by the immortal. He didn't dare to talk back. Fan Ruoshui had to say, "I want to learn the ability to turn stone into gold."
The white cloud immortal replied, "do you want this finger?" this is the source of the story. It is said that a person is very poor and worships LV Zu piously. LV Zu is LV Dongbin. It is said that he is the ancestor of Taoism.
LV Dongbin was moved by his sincerity. One day, he suddenly came to his house from the sky. Seeing that his family was very poor, he couldn't help but pity him, so he stretched out a finger and pointed to a heavy stone in his courtyard. In a moment, the stone turned into glittering gold. LV Dongbin said, "do you want it?"
The man bowed twice and replied, "No." Lv Dongbin was very happy and said, "if you can do this, you have no selfishness, you can teach you the true way to become an immortal."
The man said, "no, I want your finger."
LV Dongbin felt like a dog in the sun and suddenly disappeared.
Fan Ruoshui was certainly not so stupid. When the immortal appeared in his dream, he immediately thought of this allusion. He said, "what I want to learn is the ability to turn stone into gold."
This fairy he pondered for a moment, he said: "only the fairy has the ability to turn stone into gold, which is not mastered by you and other mortals, and its effect is only 500 years. After 500 years, it will be a pile of scrap iron, which will harm others and yourself."
Fan Ruoshui was disappointed again and didn't have the ability to turn stone into gold. What else can these immortals have? He doesn't care whether the gold will become iron stone in 500 years, but whether he has enough gold and silver, and whether it will become a piece of shit in 500 years. What's his business? 500 years later, he no longer exists. What else can we do to him?
So fan Ruoshui said, "I just want to be rich in this life, not merit in the afterlife."
When the white cloud immortal heard what he said, he just sighed and said, "well, I should help you achieve your wish."
Fan Ruoshui was very happy when he saw that the immortal promised him, which meant that it was difficult for him to get rich without the help of the immortal.
Who knows, he was just excited. The immortal in front of him disappeared and disappeared without a trace, which surprised him in a cold sweat.
When fan Ruoshui woke up, he found that he was lying in bed. There was no fairy. He just sat in front of the bed and was in a daze. At this time, his wife got up and asked him, "Sir, why are you in a daze alone?"
Fan Ruoshui talked about the dream just now.
Fan Ruoshui's wife Lin said, "it should be a dream. Don't take it seriously. It's late. You'd better sleep well?"
Fan Ruoshui said to him, "what is a dream? The immortal entrusted a dream to me, which shows that our Fan family will become rich again and rise again. I fan Ruoshui didn't have the life to be a senior official or an emperor, but I have the life to be a rich family. I will learn how to turn stone into gold and become the richest in the world."
Lin had no choice but to say, "well, you can continue to dream here? I'll go to bed first."
Fan Ruoshui also felt that it was inappropriate for him to be here, so he immediately returned to bed. He thought about what had just happened. Is it so true? How could it be a dream? If it wasn't a dream, where would the fairy be? He decided to find a divine arithmetic to interpret his dream tomorrow. What does that mean? Since the immortals took the initiative to find him and said they had received the great kindness of his ancestors, since he, as an immortal, had received the great kindness of my fan family's ancestors, you should repay his kindness. How can he become an immortal if he doesn't even repay his kindness?
So fan Ruoshui didn't sleep all night. He was thinking about the same thing. He was thinking that he should call a divine operator to interpret his dreams and explain what he said. What does that mean? He has never had such a dream. Since there is an immortal who claims to be the Baiyun Mountain in Penglai, it is a great good thing to help him get rich. He should take advantage of this opportunity. This is a rare chance. Maybe he can earn a lot of silver and learn some spells from the immortal, that is, he can become an immortal.
The next morning, fan Ruoshui woke up. Although he didn't wake up all night, he was in good spirits. He immediately ordered the housekeeper to find a divine operator in the street to interpret his dreams and explain what it was. He told everyone about it. He knew it was a rare fairy fate, It is a sign that his fan family is about to prosper.
When the family members thought of this, they could not help sighing. They were thinking that the master wanted to prosper the fan family, but they were crazy, but they were like hysteria.
Many people think that fan Ruoshui's dream is just made up by him, just nonsense. Where is there any fairy in the world? If there are gods? Why not help his fan family as early as possible, but wait until his fan family is down to such a point before you want to help him?
You know, when the fan family was in its heyday, it had a fortune of more than one million. Zhong mingdingshi was the king of wealth. However, today's Fan family has only tens of thousands of Liang. It has the name of eight salt merchants. In fact, it has long been removed from the industry. It is more difficult for today's Fan family to restore the heyday of the fan family than to ascend to heaven.
If there are immortals, they should help the fan family in the most difficult time. At that time, it was easy to turn stone into gold, and now it is more difficult for him to make a new fortune, unless he really has the legendary ability to turn stone into gold.
Who knows, they had just finished breakfast and were about to go out to find a fortune teller. Unexpectedly, a little Taoist boy in Taoist robes came to fan's house and asked him to go to Qingyun temple outside the city for a while. The other party claimed to be Baiyun immortal and invited him to come over for a while.
Qingyun temple is just a small Taoist temple outside Yangzhou. Usually, incense is just ordinary. However, it is better than the beautiful scenery. It is a place where many literati and refined scholars often travel together. Even fan Ruoshui has been here many times. He feels that it is ordinary and doesn't want to go again once and a half. The other party actually has a real person called Baiyun who invited him to go, If it's normal, he's probably not interested.
You know, fan Ruoshui is busy revitalizing their Fan family. Is he so busy? Where do you have time to talk about these bad things with them, but the other party claims to be Baiyun immortal, which is a very strange and coincidental thing. Because he dreamed of him last night and entered his dream, he claims to be the Baiyun immortal of Penglai mountain. This one is called immortal. All this makes fan Ruoshui feel that there is an amazing coincidence. Is it the fate?
Fan Ruoshui did not hesitate. He immediately bathed and changed clothes, asked his family to carry the sedan chair and carried him to the baiyun temple outside the city.
When he asked his two families to carry him to baiyun temple with sedan chairs, the trail boy who had just come to inform him had been waiting at the door and led them to the bamboo forest in the backyard of baiyun temple.
I only saw a fairy in Taoist robe sitting on the strange stones in the bamboo forest of baiyun temple. The other party's eyebrows are white, but his face is ruddy and very healthy. This is a typical crane hair and child's face. It gives people a kind of dust capital. When people see it, they feel like meeting a fairy.
Seeing this man, fan Ruoshui was surprised. Isn't this the white cloud fairy he met in his dream last night? It's just that he doesn't have the golden light on him, but now he is sitting under the bamboo forest. Isn't this dusty posture like a fairy?
The white cloud immortal saw fan Ruoshui coming and waved the dust in his hand. He said, "I met last night, but nephew fan has thought it over. What do you want?"
As soon as the other party said this, fan Ruoshui had no doubt. He immediately knelt down and knocked his head. He said, "the fan family is in the middle of the road and poor. I'm going to ask the real person for advice. If I have the ability to turn stone into gold, I can restore the honor of the fan family."
He said: "Your fan family has accumulated great Yin virtue for hundreds of years, but this Yin virtue is also limited. Now it has almost been exhausted. However, your fan family has done a wide range of good deeds in previous dynasties, so today's wealth is not as good as in the past, but there is still no problem to keep food and clothing. Your fan family can be said to be inferior now I have more than enough. Isn't it beautiful to be so rich and moderate? "
Fan Ruoshui said to him, "my fan family was one of the eight salt merchants in those days, but now the family road has fallen. As a descendant of the fan family, I can't see that my ancestral industry has been robbed, and I can't restore the glory of my ancestors and pass on their wealth from generation to generation. My nephew doesn't have the face to see my ancestors, so I ask immortal Baiyun to help me."
He said: "I owe you the fan family 80 years ago because I saved your life by your ancestor Cuiyun Gong. If you don't repay this kindness, it's estimated that I won't be able to understand the great road and turn the soldiers into immortals. Therefore, your descendants of the fan family should make every effort to achieve success now, but I'd like to warn you that only after several generations of accumulation can you have today's blessings and future generations The middle-class family of EMI doesn't worry about food or drink, but if you change the secret of heaven and force wealth, if you are careless, it will cause backfire or be damned by heaven. Don't blame me for my unprepared remarks. "
Fan Ruoshui said to him, "as long as my nephew has the ability to turn stone into gold, even if he is punished by heaven, even if he is eaten back, my nephew will never complain and will never blame you."
Fan Ruoshui is a typical rich fourth generation. He can only eat, drink, whore and gamble. Without money, he is equivalent to losing everything and suffering as if he had no life. He is typical. He only cares about his immediate wealth, regardless of the torrential flood after death. What's his business to pay for his children and grandchildren?
