Yunmeng Fuxin Chapter 39 Mr. Warm Wine and Laughter, the Young Man is intoxicated by the sea

"Once a day, I can't stand it. ”

Under the moonlight, in the green mountains and wild forests, in front of the restaurant, the young man's expression was calm, he looked at the red and black figures in front of him, and felt extremely disgusted in his heart.

The person in front of him, like a vampire, has no shame, no shame, the young man thinks, this is oppression, exploitation, this is the nature of the landlord, too bullying!

The Moon Wolf King turned his back to him, put his hands on his shoulders, and said softly: "This king only takes blood, so you don't die." ”

Li Zhenlang smiled, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he cursed secretly, I thought about my aunt, and at the same time knew that I couldn't hide from the bloodletting tonight, so I simply stretched out my wrist, wrapped a strip of cloth in my other hand and held the bowl, put it underneath, gritted my teeth and said, "Let's row......"

The breeze moved lightly, blowing the red and black hair of the Moon Wolf King, Li Zhenlang only felt a pain in his wrist, and suddenly blood overflowed, dripping sharply into the bowl.

He grinned, he gritted his teeth, endured it silently, and did not let out a sound of pain, the young man took the bowl with his own hands, followed by his own blood, there was no anger in his heart, his eyes blinked lightly, just thinking, in this life, he Li Zhenlang, is it destined to be like this?

This feeling of coldness in the heart...... It's really cold, it's even more uncomfortable than working overtime until dawn late at night in the previous life, at least there was overtime pay for overtime in the previous life!

In the night of Yunmengze, all things are singing, and on countless mountains, a man in Tsing Yi standing with a folding fan in one hand.

He lowered his eyes and looked down, the expression on his face was very calm, his long hair and clothes were flying, and his detached posture was like a heavenly man, and suddenly the man sighed slightly and said: "This world is like this." It is not only human nature to take profit, but rather to say that it is the nature of the heart. All things have spirits, and how many of them can cut off their own minds? When there is an innocent heart, a flawless heart, and a flawless heart, there are very few, and it is difficult to come out of one of them. ”

The man in Tsing Yi turned his back to Mingyue and knocked on the folding fan in his hand, and after a while, he turned around and walked away.

Seeing the red and black figure, the pale young man smiled helplessly.

The young man Li Zhenlang sat on the ground, stretched out his hand and pulled a handful of leaf-toothed weeds, stuffed the mud into his mouth, chewed gently, the expression on his face was slightly stiff, his black eyes blinked lightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking. The grass juice was very green and bitter, but it was not as bitter as the young man's heart, and the young man felt that his whole heart was bitter.

The young man looked up at the moon in frustration, his eyes were red and flashing with tears, he didn't dare to bow his head, he tried to open his eyes wide, and he didn't dare to blink.

The purple light sword shadow in the courtyard, the girl took out the sword, as fast as a match, the purple shadow moved rapidly, attacking in all directions, dyeing the moon and the night.

There are piles of bamboo sticks scattered on the ground, and the bamboo tubes on one place are all split by the girl before you know it.

Allure Xue exhaled deeply, put Xiaoshuang in the scabbard, looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, wiped her sweat with her hands, thinking about why the lewd thief hadn't come back, she turned around and walked towards the wine house in front, stretched out her hand and pushed the closed wooden door, and found that it was blocked from the outside, so she pouted helplessly, and walked towards the single house to the south.

After the girl entered the house, she closed the door, and the blue bamboo sticks in the yard were dried in the moonlight, and the girl did not intend to pick them up one by one, so leave this kind of thing to the thief to do.

It didn't take long for the faint lights to go out quietly.

The shopkeeper sighed lightly and muttered alone, "I can finally sleep." He blew out the candle and walked to the bedside.

Late at night, there are no people on the path. The boy drove an old horse, which was very old, and had a bell around its neck, and ran very slowly, and pulled a wooden cart behind it, which creaked and squeaked, and jingled with bells throughout the night.

Fortunately, the bright moon and rare stars in the sky, the young man can also visually see more than ten zhang ahead, suddenly the young man tightened the reins, and with a long sigh in his mouth, the old horse paused, immediately stopped, and looked at the man in Tsing Yi who was blocking the road in front of him with the young man.

The man in Tsing Yi held a folding fan, smiled, and said to the young man: "Young man, but you are going to the town ahead?"

The young man smiled, "Yes, is it the same for sir? If so, I can give him a ride." ”

Under the moon, the young man sat in front of the wooden wheeled cart, holding the reins in one hand, revealing a bright and cheerful smile.

The man in Tsing Yi walked slowly, stood in front of him with a folding fan, and was polite, "Then there is little brother Lao, who has walked dozens of miles, and his legs are already sore." ”

The young man smiled, and when the man in Tsing Yi got on the wooden wheeled cart, he jumped down and said, "Sir, sit tight." "Pat the old horse, "Drive!" and continue on his way.

The man in Tsing Yi was puzzled and asked him, "Why does the little brother want to go down?"

The boy replied, "The horse is old, and he is just tired from sitting, so it is better to come down and walk for a while." ”

The man in Tsing Yi smiled and nodded, with a complicated expression on his face, he looked at the young man's back and was silent.

The young man led the horse and carried the man in Tsing Yi slowly.

The old horse neighed, raised his head and shouted joyfully, and his four hooves slowly moved, stepping side by side with the young man.

The moon stars are faint, the night breeze is gradual, blowing the grass and trees on both sides to move lightly, blowing the creeks and rivers ripple slowly, blowing the dark clouds of the night slowly disperse, for a while, the rare stars suddenly brighten, shining abnormally, as if to compete with the moon, all shine brilliantly.

The old horse stopped and stopped in the moonlight.

In the middle of the night, there was no one in sight.

It just stopped there quietly, the bell on his neck, ringing softly in the wind, as if calling for the return of the young man who was driving the car, for a long time, for a long time......

The man in Tsing Yi walked alone in the middle of the night, his eyes were like torches, flashing a moment of light, and he said softly: "I'm sorry, the contemptible person is actually here to kill you!"

At the restaurant with the candle light on the faint light, Li Zhenlang was sad and helpless, so he had to drink again and drink again. Listening to the whispers coming from outside the door in his ears, he clenched the wine glass with one hand, clenched his fist with the other hand, his posture trembled slightly, and his two wrists wrapped in strips of cloth were slightly forced, and the tense wound was faintly painful, but his heart was painful and happy.

He looked at the looming figure of Tsing Yi in front of him, and said softly: "Please ask Mr. to teach me the martial arts method." ”

Then the young man lowered his head, pinched the wine glass and chuckled, as if he was crazy, laughing that he must be dazzled, laughing that he was delusional, or perhaps, he was really drunk, so he would have delusions.

Because of bowing his head, his already sore eyes, bean-sized tears slipped down his eye sockets, and with a bang, they dripped into the wine glass in front of him, splashed a little splash, and quickly swung away, the wine and tears blended perfectly, the young man wiped his face, raised his head and drank it all, his eyes were closed, until the wine glass fell on the table, and he bowed his head again, and his eyes were not opened.

The whispers of the night in my ears, the sound of the wind gradually, and I only heard a soft voice.

"Good. ”

Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Li Zhenlang suddenly trembled, raised his head, and rubbed his eyes, until he saw the person in front of him clearly, he stood up violently and said excitedly: "Sir...... Please also ask Mr. to accept me as a disciple!" The half-drunk young man, who was about to kneel, was like drinking at the moment, and his expression was very clear.

The man in Tsing Yi, as before, gently pressed a folding fan against the young man's fist-hugging hands, and said gently, "Sit down first." ”

Li Zhenlang was extremely excited, and his heart was getting chaotic, for fear that he would miss the martial arts opportunity again. Seeing that the man in Tsing Yi was committed to sitting down, the young man wanted to take the wine jug and pour wine for Mr. first.

The man in Tsing Yi smiled gently, pressed his hand lightly with a folding fan, and said, "Let the contemptible people come, the cold wine hurts the body, and it is better to drink less if you are weak." ”

Li Zhenlang withdrew his hand, smiled shyly, and sat down slowly, wondering in his heart what the person in front of him meant, he had obviously agreed to teach him martial arts, but why did he stop himself from kneeling down again?

The man in Tsing Yi poured wine for the young man, then poured himself, and said slowly: "There are some things that cannot be explained in a few words, and the contemptible people can't accept you as a disciple, but the contemptible people can teach you some spitting methods, how much you can comprehend, it's all up to you, are you willing?"

Li Zhenlang raised his hand and wiped his face, nodded hurriedly, as if he wanted to think very much, and said with trembling lips: "I am willing...... I'm willing to ......."

The man in Tsing Yi said with a smile: "Drink this glass of wine first, and the contemptible person will teach you the method of spitting out your heart." ”

The young man's eyes bloomed with a strange brilliance, and he immediately raised his wine glass and drank it all. As before, the wine is warm, warm in the throat and warm in the lower abdomen. Li Zhenlang's blood flowed sharply all over his body, and his face gradually returned to the same as an ordinary person, and his originally weak body was rejuvenated at this moment!

The inexplicable strength filled the whole body, making the young man feel extremely mysterious, the corners of his mouth were open, his eyes were shining, and the young man wanted to speak, but he was stopped by the person in front of him.

The man in Tsing Yi said: "Do you want to ask about the difference in yourself." ”

Li Zhenlang nodded, looking at the man in Tsing Yi with a blank look, this question had long been buried in his heart, and he couldn't figure out the answer given by the wolf king of that moon, so he wanted to ask this man in Tsing Yi, perhaps, he would know.

I only heard the man in Tsing Yi say slowly: "Heaven and earth are not awake, Hongmeng is a guest." ”

The young man's heart trembled violently, and he concentrated and listened with his ears, just because the eyes of the man in Tsing Yi in front of him were full of glow, like colorful clouds, lifelike and dazzling.

"Everything in the world depends on the essence of heaven and earth, which is equivalent to the source of life of all things, and the essence of heaven and earth is different, Haoran righteousness, demonic turbidity, demonic atmosphere, ghost atmosphere, water power, chaos, god-emperor, immortal aura...... Maybe...... Also, it's just that it is not known to the world, and the mysteries of heaven and earth are not for the world to peep into. ”

Li Zhenlang listened carefully, and without blinking his eyes, he saw the man in Tsing Yi say again:

"All things have animism, each has its own needs, and if you forcibly absorb two or more essences, you will inevitably be affected by the mutual exclusion of different essences.

And in the human world, in addition to the mighty righteousness, there is also the chaos and void qi that exists extensively.

Chaotic Void Qi can also be said to be the origin of the essence of heaven and earth, and the several essences that the contemptible Fang just said can be said to be derived from the Chaotic Void Qi.

It can also be said that chaotic void qi is everywhere, and there are chaotic void qi in every corner between heaven and earth, so in addition to chaotic void qi, any other two essences will be mutually exclusive, of course, because of the omnipresent reason for chaotic void qi, as long as you do not deliberately absorb another essence into the body, instinctive needs such as breathing are not hindered. ”

The man in Tsing Yi smiled gently, blinked his starry eyes, and said, "The contemptible people are fortunate to have cultivated the day after tomorrow and become the Qi of the God Emperor, and the difference between you and the world is that you have the innate Qi of the God Emperor in your body. ”

The young man Li Zhenlang was suddenly stunned, slightly opened the corners of his mouth, looked at the man in Tsing Yi who was drinking lightly in front of him, and thought to himself, it turned out that the difference in his body was not blood, so it can be seen that the wolf king of the moon must not be clear, so he said that he Li Zhenlang has a strong vitality in his blood.

Li Zhenlang squirmed the corners of his mouth and asked a question that he already knew, "Sir, this world ...... Are there really demons and monsters?"

The man in Tsing Yi didn't answer him, and after a moment, nodded slightly.

Li Zhenlang nodded, smiled bitterly, I don't know why, the answer that was already clear in his heart, after being confirmed by the man in Tsing Yi at this moment, the young man's heart suddenly became much clearer.

The man in Tsing Yi held the wine jug, poured another glass for the young man, and said: "Different heaven and earth essences all have different living beings to rely on, and the most important, extensive, and common of them is the chaotic void qi.

Haoran righteousness depends on the living beings themselves, depends on the heart, and those who can perceive Haoran righteousness, no matter what kind of living beings, can be called "gentlemen".

Li Zhenlang hurriedly got up, took the wine jug that the man in Tsing Yi was still holding in his hand with both hands, and said by the way, "Mr. must be a gentleman!"

The man chuckled, did not answer, and continued to explain to the boy:

The demonic atmosphere turbidity, the demonic atmosphere, the ghostly atmosphere, the water power, including the immortal aura, all have the needs of thousands of living beings, different heaven and earth spirits nurture all living beings in the world, and different heaven and earth essences nurture different creatures, this is what you just said about demons and monsters...... The reason why different beings can coexist in this world is because of the existence of chaotic void qi, so that they will not be affected by the essence of heaven and earth outside of their own needs. ”

"And the aura of the God Emperor ......" The man in Tsing Yi raised his glass and took another sip, and said slowly: "When it is the rarest, the contemptible person can get away with cultivating the qi of the God Emperor, it is nothing more than all kinds of opportunities and perseverance on the way of martial arts." As he spoke, he blinked lightly, smiled, and stared at the young man across from him without saying a word.

Li Zhenlang was a little embarrassed, and grinned: "Didn't Mr. want to teach me the method of spitting out the heart?"

The man in Tsing Yi nodded, and said with a straight face: "Before that, there are some things about martial artists, and it is necessary for you to say something about them. ”

Li Zhenlang got up again, held the wine jug for the man, respectfully poured a glass, then poured himself a glass, put down the wine jug lightly, sat down slowly, and looked at the person opposite with a serious expression.

The man in Tsing Yi half raised the folding fan, stretched it across his chest, and said rigorously: "Martial arts do not only refer to people, everything in the world can be martial, martial artists are just common names, and can also be called cultivators, and the most basic martial artists of people are the three hundred and sixty-five main acupoints around the human body, twenty-four main veins, thousands of meridians, five internal organs and six internal organs in the body, dantian qi sea, bones, blood, skin and flesh of the whole body, as well as, ears, eyes, mouth, nose, body, heart, six senses and six senses, these are the foundation of a human warrior."

Naturally, some methods are also different, for example, Buddhism pays attention to the idea of controlling the mind, and the eight senses of human sense, and two more consciousnesses, which are called alaya consciousness, which is not knowledgeable, mysterious and mysterious, and ordinary people are ignorant of what they do. ”

Li Zhenlang raised his hand and scratched his head, and nodded again.

The man in Tsing Yi smiled: "What, don't you understand?"

Li Zhenlang shook his head and said, "I understand, but I don't understand the extra two senses of the Buddhists that Mr. said." ”

The man in Tsing Yi said: "It doesn't matter, the Buddhist method is different from most of the methods, whether you understand it or not, it doesn't get in the way, as long as you understand the difference, no matter what kind of method, the road to the future can be reunited, it's just a matter of time, whether you can meet again in the future, but it depends on your own qualifications and opportunities."

A realm of dust, a realm of innate, a realm of great masters, a realm of holy martial arts, and a realm of holy martial arts is the realm of reunion...... At that time, it can crisscross all parts of the world, even if it is the 10,000-foot deep sea, you can also swim around, but, after all, the world is not a creature in the sea, you need to spend more of your own yuan power, remember, if one day, you meet a strong person in the deep sea, you can't beat him, you should try to lure him ashore, that's because, in the same realm, if the creatures in the sea are in the water, they are quite invincible!"

Li Zhenlang frowned, nodded, and wondered if Mr. had said less about the realm, so he asked, "Above the congenital, isn't there still a realm of grandmasters?"

The man in Tsing Yi nodded, shook his head again, then nodded, and said slowly, "Grandmaster, the second realm of the Great Grandmaster, is just a title for those mountain sect masters and elders. ”

"More people, or the top congenital, super congenital, to compare the grandmaster and the great grandmaster, and some people, to the Ming King, the Ming King, as a correspondence, in short, each has its own statement, you just need to remember that the Holy Martial Realm is the beginning of the unification of all laws, and you have the innate god and emperor qi, but also no worse than any heavenly arrogance in this world, practice diligently, and over time, you will definitely do something. ”

"Hmm!" Li Zhenlang nodded, his expression was firm, his eyes were firm, and his heart was firm.

The man in Tsing Yi smiled with relief, looked at the young man's eyes, nodded, and said softly: "You must know that those who have been in the bush for a long time will fly high." The original intention is not extinguished, and the intention is endless. Perseverance is always the same, and the spirit lasts forever. ”

Li Zhenlang nodded again, he understood what the man in Tsing Yi said, and he also understood that it was not easy to do it.

"If you kill one person, you can save ten thousand, will you kill it?" The man in Tsing Yi looked at the young man opposite, his expression calm, as if he was waiting for the young man's answer.

Li Zhenlang frowned slightly, this kind of question, it's not that he has never heard of it, and asked softly at the moment: "Killing one person, can you really save those ten thousand people?"

The man in Tsing Yi shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, maybe one more person died." And if that person is your dear and beloved, how will you choose?"

Li Zhenlang shook his head lightly and said, "I will find another way, and Mr. also said that even if you kill one person, you may not be able to save those ten thousand people." ”

The man in Tsing Yi nodded, and said with a smile: "You remember, a gentleman will kill, a hero will kill, and a person who claims to be on the right path will also kill." ”

Li Zhenlang was stunned and speechless.

The man in Tsing Yi got up and slowly walked behind the young man, causing the young man to twist most of his neck, he lifted the folding fan against the young man's spine, and said softly: "Calm down, contemptible people will open up a sea of qi for you." ”

Li Zhenlang nodded, straightened his head, closed his eyes lightly, and felt the warmth that gradually spread from his spine to his whole body, like countless streams of heat, flowing all over his body, making him feel extremely comfortable.

The man in Tsing Yi was lucky enough to use the fan bone as the medium, and the Qi of the God Emperor continued to flow into the young man's body, "baptizing" the hundred orifices in the young man's body, and said slowly:

"There is no distinction between will, but concentration on God. Clarify your mind and hold the yuan to keep one. Hide your breath in your body and move when the time comes. If you don't move, it's enough, and if you move, it's all changing. ”

"This is the contemptible person to teach you the heart of the mantra, remember, to cycle gradually, not in a hurry, so as not to let the demons have a chance, the first three sentences of this law are quiet, the latter sentence is moving, whether you can understand the meaning, but it depends on yourself, because, if the contemptible person explains it in detail, it will not be beneficial to you, on the contrary, it will hinder your growth, of course, if you insist on asking, the contemptible person can also talk to you, what do you think?"

Li Zhenlang shook his head lightly.

The man in Tsing Yi smiled and said solemnly: "Are you ready?" Opening up the sea of qi is equivalent to a sharp blade inserted into the dantian, and it is inevitable that you will feel pain during the period, this is the only way to break through the entry in the future, you, can you understand?"

Li Zhenlang hummed lightly, nodded, and gritted his teeth secretly.

The folding fan against the young man's spine turned slightly, and the man in Tsing Yi tightened his hand with a solemn expression, urging the divine emperor's qi to rush towards the lower abdomen in the young man's body.

In the small restaurant, the golden light is magnificent, the man in Tsing Yi has a twinkling starry eye, and the majesty is incomparable!

"Uh-huh......" The young man's nasal voice let out a hint of pain, gritting his teeth, his forehead was oozing with beads of sweat, his hair was wet, and white air was rising above his head.

The severe pain made Li Zhenlang's face gradually distort, but he knew that this was an opportunity that countless people dreamed of, and the reason why those people in the rivers and lakes who gathered in front of the restaurant all day to read the notices could not enter the country was that the dantian was not opened and the sea of qi had not appeared.

A light rain fell outside the door, dark clouds covered the stars and the moon, and the sky and the earth were suddenly gloomy.

Li Zhenlang closed his eyes and meditated, and when he endured the pain, he felt the changes in his body, until there was a rumble in his ears, and the front of the restaurant suddenly brightened for a moment, the thunder did not stop, the electric light flashed, and the young man felt a sharp pain in the lower abdomen for a moment, and then it was like a fried pot, and the strong warmth gushed out in an instant, converging on the lower abdomen, slowly turning, the golden sea of qi, solemn and magnificent, and flowing up and down the whole body, and the dyed body was smeared with a layer of gilding.

At the same time, the young man's mind flashed one after another pictures that he had never seen before, the mountains and flowing water, the clouds and clouds, the sea of thousands of stars, the stars shining together, the sea of purple and red, the deep blue and magnificent sea, the black valley, and suddenly turned into golden light...... Li Zhenlang can be sure that he has never seen these pictures, and he doesn't know why, they suddenly appeared in his mind!

The young man closed his eyes tightly, and was deeply immersed in the strange scene in his mind, but he didn't know that the man in Tsing Yi slowly walked out of the door with his hands in his hands, facing the lightning that flashed endlessly, drenched in the heavier and heavier light rain, and the green shirt and clothes floated in the wind and rain, and his feet slowly drifted away.

The stormy mountain forests, the wild grasses swaying with the wind, seem to be extremely cheerful, to welcome the gift of spring rain, the man in Tsing Yi walked north, the raindrops were like long eyes, and they were about to fall on the Tsing Yi, but they were slightly tilted a few inches with the wind, and fell on the ground on the side, on the grass and trees.

Before walking to the blue water cold pool, the man in Tsing Yi looked at the sparkling blue water, his expression was in a trance for a moment, and suddenly he squinted his eyes, his eyes passed through the whirlpool in the depths of the blue water, straight through the blue water 3,000 feet, and stared at an ancient door.

The two stone rings on the ancient door, like eyes, are not afraid of this sudden and implicit hostile gaze, that is, they hang quietly on the door, solemn, as if they are looking at the door from above!

The man in Tsing Yi smiled and whispered to himself, "Pioneer, strategize and win a thousand miles." The post-maker, turn the tide and turn the tide. First and second, it cannot be a decisive judgment of winning or losing, even God!"

The man in Tsing Yi rolled up his sleeves and smiled, and laughed when he left: "The world is like chess, laughing at heroes!"

"Boom~"

In front of the restaurant, the thunder shook the sky, and a thunderbolt of white light with a thick bowl mouth pierced the night, and the sound seemed to spread throughout Yunmengze, echoing melodiously in the green mountains and forests.

Eighteen figures moved instantly, standing on the top of each mountain, stopping to look at each other. Eighteen Yuan forces wrapped the eighteen figures, fearless of the rain.

"Yue Lie, do you remember this abnormality of heaven and earth resonance?" the Heavenly Tiger King looked at the red and black figure on the side.

The Moon Wolf King nodded and said, "Well, when you were in the Demon Domain, believe me and the others, you have all seen the elders of the clan condense the Great Demon Law Elephant, right?"

"Could it be that the Terrans have produced a strong man again?" the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man scratched his head and pouted.

The woman in red said with a smile: "Not necessarily, maybe it is the resonance of heaven and earth deliberately caused by some strong people, the human race likes to find trouble when there is nothing to do, after so many years, do you still understand this monkey? What a stupid monkey!"

The man with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks still scratched his head, and he was not angry, but grinned.

The woman in red gave him a blank look, with an expression of "hatred of iron does not make steel".

"Scattered, scattered, no matter what strong man he is, if he dares to disturb Lao Tzu's sleep, Lao Tzu will hammer him to death!"

The Tiger King laughed and said to him, "The wild donkey is right!

The bearded man stared at him, even more angry than he was, "Call Brother Donkey, don't shout Lao Tzu to hammer you!"

When the Tiger King heard this, he immediately became angry, this wild donkey is very crazy, why don't others say it, he Tianyu will not get used to him, "Just a wild donkey, is it provoking the majesty of this king?"

The bearded man was furious and shouted, "Lao Tzu will kill you!"

"Come on!" the spotted man was not to be outdone.

"Come here!"

"You have the ability, come here!"

"Why should this king come over, you come!"

"Lao Tzu won't go over, do you dare to come over?"

“......”

Everyone shook their heads and dispersed, the woman in red and the man with the sharp beak and monkey cheeks turned around and entered the night together, and the rest of the demon kings had long been accustomed to this, if they could really fight, it would be good, everyone would definitely clap their hands and applaud on the side, and at this moment, there was no interest.

The Moon Wolf King patted the brindled man's shoulder, nodded, and left.

In the blink of an eye, on the top of the mountain, only the brindled man and the bearded man were left scolding each other in the air, and between the words, the rain trembled, swaying with the wind, and they didn't dare to fall on the two, probably because the two of them also felt bored, and it didn't last long, and they disappeared with their own scolding.

The boy opened his eyes, got up slowly, walked to the door, facing the rainy night outside, stretched out his hands, arms around his chest, this time, the boy did not hold his fists, raised to his forehead, and bowed deeply.
