At the beginning of the rainstorm, the sky is bright, although there is no sunshine, but the plateau and snow-capped mountains are clearly visible.

The thin young man walked up the mountain step by step, there was no road here, it was extremely difficult to walk, and it was impossible for ordinary people to go up.

I followed him up the hill, and my feet were so heavy that I would have tumbled if I hadn't done so.

The young man was at ease, as if he were flying, strolling through the mountains, which was amazing.

I thought it was a shadow puppet show again, but on closer inspection, he was real, and the mountains were real.

The higher you go, the steeper it becomes, and in many places you have to climb the rock walls and jump up. And the wind started to get stronger, and the rain stopped, but the wind didn't stop, especially in the mountains, and sometimes you could even feel the roar of the wind.

When we finally arrived at the snowy place, the summit was approaching. This is not a snow-capped mountain in the true sense of the word, but there is some temporary snow on the top of the mountain, and if spring comes, the snow will disappear into the mountain in a trickle.

I went up with the emaciated young man against the wind, and the footprints on the snow grew more and more, and then they were blown away by the strong wind.

When the high sky white clouds come into view, the top of the mountain is reached.

The top of the mountain is very wide, even a little flat, but the place is small, only enough for three or five people.

There is nothing peculiar here, the only thing that deserves praise is high. A thin young man stands on the edge of the mountain, quietly looking at the snow-capped mountains in the sky.

I also looked over and realized what he meant. It turns out that on the mountain, I can see the snow scene in the distance, whether it is a thousand-year-old snow-capped mountain or a thousand-year-old snow-capped mountain, all of them are in my eyes.

I couldn't help but let out a hot breath and say it's wonderful. The thin young man laughed, and the laughter seemed to be conveyed to the end of the snowy mountain.

I said you're going to start cleansing your soul? He said yes, and asked me if I wanted to learn.

I said that if you teach me, I will learn, and if you don't teach, you won't learn. He smiled again, this is a very lively person.

The wind was still howling, and it seemed that snow was falling on the top of the mountain, but in fact it was not snowing, only the snowflakes on the ground were blowing.

The thin young man sat down, he didn't walk cross-legged, he just sat very ordinary, like a dinner, I think he has blended into the snowy mountains.

So I sat down, and the two of us sat opposite each other. Maybe I feel cold, it's really cold here, even my skin feels a little tingling, this is a feeling I haven't felt in a long time, and it makes me feel a little inexplicably happy.

The wind blew overhead, and my tousled hair covered my eyes. It's been a long time since I've cut my hair, and now I'm like a wandering woman.

The thin young man was clean, dressed in a green shirt, which reminded people of the shepherd on the plateau, he should be the shepherd.

"How do you cleanse your soul? I feel cold. ”

I asked, and the shepherd grabbed a handful of snow like a handful of sand: "Look what this looks like." ”

I said like sand, and he nodded: "What will it be like then?"

I said, "Isn't it always like sand? What else can it look like?" He smiled very lively, closed the snow in the palm of his hand, and rubbed it gently.

I looked at him in confusion, and after a moment he suddenly spread out his palms, and there was no snow left in his hands, only some wet marks.

I said it turned into water, and your palms were so warm. The shepherd nodded, looking at the snow-capped mountains in the sky: "The snow is one, but the sand is not. ”

The reason is very simple, snow can melt into water, and it will be one in the future, but the sand will not melt.

And he pointed at me, "You are the sand, you are not one." ”

What does that mean? I say that I am one, that I am one person.

"Your soul is wandering, it has been detached from the body, it is not one. ”

I don't understand what he means, is he saying that my consciousness is not in my body?

It was so strange that I grabbed a handful of sand and rubbed it, but maybe it was because my body temperature was too low for the snow to melt.

The shepherd smiled faintly, he turned around and looked at the snowy mountains: "The snow-capped mountains will melt in spring, and the snow will always become one, it must be spectacular, do you want to see it?"

I said that the snowy mountains should not melt, and he pointed to the ground: "There will be here." ”

It turns out that he said this one under our buttocks, so why are you looking at those thousand-year-old snow-capped mountains?

I really don't understand what he means, but I think there must be some truth in it.

I didn't ask, sat cross-legged, and started to sit on the stake. In the past few years, I can't tell who I am, only the practice will not fall behind, whether it is soft qigong or hard qigong, it is essentially the same, and it needs to be practiced.

The shepherd looked at me and said softly, "Why do you want to practice? Isn't it good to enjoy this beautiful scenery?"

I said I'd finished admiring it and didn't want to watch it. He sighed softly, "Hey. ”

He shook his head, "It's just a pity that you are suddenly a little bit of a pity, you are also a person who can't get out of the world, and the gods can't cleanse your soul." ”

I pondered for a while and said I didn't understand. The shepherd looked at the snow-capped mountain again: "You have forgotten who you are, but you are still obsessed with practicing, and you still have something to put down." ”

I was stunned, what could I not put down? I watched the shadow puppet show for three years, and I only remembered that there was only one Miyazaki Ning, a senior sister, and an uncle Wang and an old woman.

I said I put it down, I came here to see a doctor, I don't know where the doctor is.

The shepherd sneered and nodded one after another: "Okay, then you can practice." ”

What a strange person. I closed my eyes and started practicing. Inhale, hold your breath, like wood, and practice mechanically.

This was already pediatric for me, and I could sit for two days without moving.

So I actually sat there for two days, and it seemed to rain again, but there was no thunder and lightning, so it was safe.

So the shepherd and I sat on the mountain in the rain, and he enjoyed it so much that he even hummed softly facing the snowy mountains, not knowing what to hum.

I practiced the exercises, waited for the sun to come out, dried the moisture, and the cycle continued.

I don't know how long it was, but if I was so hungry, the shepherd always had something to eat, and like a god, he disappeared without me noticing, and then reappeared.

As the days passed, the air seemed to warm up. Of course, I couldn't feel it, so I could only ask the shepherd, "Is it spring?"

He shook his head: "It's still early, but it's not early, if you don't practice, it's going to be soon." ”

He nodded: "If you practice and you don't know if the seasons change, you will still ask me." ”

I still don't understand, but he probably doesn't want me to practice. Then I won't practice, and I will sit and watch the snow-capped mountains every day, yawning very boringly.

As the days passed, I couldn't help but practice many times, but I woke up again, afraid that I would miss spring.

The shepherds would look at me every day with a very sorry look.

Then one day, he suddenly smiled: "Spring is coming." ”

I stretched out my hands to feel it, but I didn't feel anything, and the cold wind was still howling, and the snow was flying on the top of the mountain.

It's not like spring. I said I didn't come. He grabbed another handful of snow: "Here it is, you wait." ”

I continued to sit and wait, but I didn't know what to wait for.

Later, when the sun set, the yellow sun set behind the snow-capped mountains, and darkness enveloped the earth.

As if asleep, the shepherd sat tightly on the edge of the mountain, his body straight, like a tree standing in the darkness.

I watched him for a long time and felt like he was happy tonight. I didn't practice and sat quietly.

The darker the sky, the quieter the four fields became, there was no sound of insects, the sound of the wind seemed to be gone, and the heavens and the earth fell asleep in an instant.

For some reason, I felt a sudden stir in my heart and thought of the one that the shepherd had spoken.

Now heaven and earth are one? I still haven't moved, heaven and earth are one, but what about spring? I still haven't waited.

And then at some point, there was a strange sound in the silence, as if an earthworm had come out of the dirt, and then it was everywhere, and finally it was the whole mountain.

The floor got wet at some point, and my pants were wet. The snow also wet my pants a lot, but this time it felt very unusual.

It was like a newborn was about to be born.

At last there was a sound of the water, first in the past, and then in a stream, and then in a clattering stream.

I was stunned, the snow-capped mountains melted and merged into one.

Spring has indeed arrived.

As if I had been struck with a hammer suddenly, I stood up and looked for the snow that melted into one, but I couldn't find it, and there was such snow everywhere, and it was all rushing to the base of the mountain. The white snow-capped mountains seem to have no snow in the blink of an eye.

The fresh mountain breeze blows in your face, the smell of earth rolls up to the sky, and nature comes to life.

The shepherd also stood up at some point, and he chuckled: "Look, the snow melts into one, what about you?"

Looking at him puzzled, he shook his head: "Why can't you blend in?"
