Chapter 73: The Tao is not lightly preached
Grandpa was in his sixties at this time, healthy, and liked to smoke and drink, especially wine, and his grandmother almost had to drink at meals, even in the morning.
Grandpa smoked a hookah, explained to his children and grandchildren that he ate snake gall bladder to suppress the fright, and also told an incident from the past:
"When I was younger, the mountains weren't like what you see now, when the old house was full of big trees, and maple trees that two or three people couldn't hold were everywhere. There are also many large cedar trees that are tens of meters high. Later, these large cedar trees were cut down and transported to the brigade.
…… One winter, it was rare to have heavy snowfall, I have lived for so many years, and we have never seen a few snows in this place, and that year the snow was big and the mountains were white, just like the Northeast on TV.
That day, I went up the mountain with your second uncle and a few people to carry wood, and when I went down the mountain, my feet slipped, and I accidentally threw out the wood on my shoulder, smashed it on the ground and pried up another log, and waited until I reacted when your second uncle reminded me, and the one that was raised was not wood at all, but a big snake!"
"Ahh
The grandfather was very satisfied with the reaction of the three grandchildren, the younger son had heard this story before, and he was not surprised as expected. In fact, half of Wang He's surprise was faked, and he had heard this story in later generations.
Grandpa went on to say:
"For some unknown reason, the big snake came out at the time when it was supposed to go into the cave to hibernate, probably out to look for food, but it froze on the ground, and was hit by the log I was carrying, and woke up. When a few of us saw such a big guy, we were all half scared to death, and we crawled back. I was frightened and sick. I heard that eating snake gall can strengthen courage, and since that time, if someone hits a snake, I will ask for snake gall. ”
Wang He really doesn't know if eating snake gall can strengthen his courage, he only knows that snake gall Chuanbei liquid can stop coughing and dispel cough, and if you eat it raw, snake gall bladder may contain parasites, so remind grandpa not to eat it raw.
Grandpa didn't take it to heart, and said nonchalantly while spitting out a cigarette:
"I've eaten as many as I want, and nothing has happened, and besides, I've swallowed them all with wine, and all the worms have been killed by wine. ”
Before Wang He could be persuaded again, he suddenly heard a voice in his ears, so he excused himself to go to poop and escape.
Not far behind the old house is a forest, and among the dozens of tung trees are several tall maple trees, which are now full of water chestnut trees.
Wang He had just come to the largest maple tree, and the great monk who had a relationship with him on the day of the tomb reappeared in front of him:
"Amitabha, donor, we meet again. ”
If it is said that before triggering the song list task - entering the task world - returning to reality after completing the task, this kind of jumping change Wang He can still adapt well and switch the changes of the role freely, for the existence of the great monk in front of him, Wang He is really a little difficult to distinguish, whether he is in reality or has always existed in the mission world.
Wang He, who has a lot of imagination, sometimes thinks: Could it be that he is completing sub-tasks one by one in a general song list task?
Wang He suppressed what he was thinking, raised his head and asked:
"Monk, if you appear in such a way, aren't you afraid that others will see you?"
"Amitabha, the donor is too worried. ”
The monk was still dressed the same, in a white monk's robe, barefoot, and his left hand was moving the Buddha beads at a uniform speed, and he said lightly:
"Donor, have you found the scriptures? If not, the poor monk can provide you with ......."
Wang He interrupted:
"Is this what you're looking for me? Thanks, but I've found it. By the way, I could hear your voice clearly in the house just now, is this the legendary transmission of thousands of miles? Or is it the secret transmission of sound in martial arts novels?"
"It can be said that as long as the airflow in the air is controlled to a certain extent, you can also do it, but it is a matter of distance. ”
Hearing that Wang He had found the scriptures, the monk was not disappointed, first briefly explained the skills of sound transmission, and then said:
"Dare to ask which scripture the donor found?"
After hearing Wang He say that it was the "Diamond Sutra", the monk's expression changed slightly, but he returned to calm in an instant, and discussed with Wang He:
"Can the donor lend the scriptures you found to the poor monks?"
"Haha, that ......"
Wang He scratched his head and seemed to be a little embarrassed and said:
"It's not that I don't borrow it, it's just that this scripture doesn't ...... Well, you can't just show it to others. As the saying goes, the Tao is not lightly preached. You know what I mean, right?"
The monk smiled slightly:
"I can teach you the kind of skill you just now. ”
Wang He shook his head and said:
"That's not practical, and now there are telephones, and the sound is farther than this, and the Internet will develop in the future...... Anyway, this one doesn't work, it can't be changed. ”
"And what do you want to change?"
"I ...... It depends on what you have. ”
"I'll exchange other scriptures with you, how about a few for one?"
"No, no, no, I'm not a monk, what do I want so many scriptures for? ”
"So, how about the martial arts cheats?"
Hearing the martial arts cheats, Wang He's eyes lit up, and later generations have seen all the readers of famous martial arts authors such as Jin Yong Gulong, Quan Yong Jilong, Jin Yongxin Gu Longxin, who would not want to become a martial arts master?
"This can be had, what are the cheats?"
"That's a lot to say, it depends on whether you want to learn fist and foot kung fu, or internal strength?"
Wang He suddenly remembered what the leopard head had said to Bao Longxing, so he stretched out his right hand and clenched it into a fist and said:
"I want them all. ”
“……”
The monk was silent for a while before he said:
"Donor, I see that although you have adventures, you don't seem to have practiced martial arts. As the saying goes, if you are greedy, you can't chew it. I advise you to choose one to practice first. ”
Wang He said dissatisfiedly:
"You're all a monk, and you're still so stingy? I only have one scripture, and if I have more, I'll give you them all. You see how generous I am. ”
The monk did not get angry and patiently explained:
"It's not that I'm stingy. Because these secrets are not physical objects, but they need to be instilled in you by me in the form of empowerments. You are still young at the moment, and it is really not suitable for you to continue receiving empowerment in a short period of time. This will not do you any good, but will easily cause damage to the mind. ”
Wang He understood and accepted this statement:
"Well, actually...... Actually, I was joking with you just now, haha, let's see how your cultivation goes. That, since that's the case, you can choose one for me, you think it's good to learn that one now, I'll learn that. ”
The monk couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, but he didn't hesitate and immediately replied:
"At your age, it's just right to practice the Inner Strength Method. The wood of the hug is born at the end of the millennium. Internal strength and fists and feet are like this big tree, internal strength is like this thick trunk, and fists and feet are like branches and leaves. After cultivating the internal strength and then practicing the fists and feet, you will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort. That's how the poor monk came back then. ”
"So you're bald...... Uh, I mean, that's why you're so strong?"
Wang He immediately made a decision:
"That's the inner strength. Come on, pour me water, uh no, give me empowerment. ”
After the monk pointed to the big maple tree and made an analogy, he turned his finger into a palm and stretched out in front of Wang He:
"Where's your book? You've at least let me see it, right?"
"Oh oh oh, hahaha...... Scripture ......"
Wang He looked left and right, laughed a few times to hide his embarrassment, and then said:
“…… To tell the truth, the scriptures are gone. ”
"Oh?
The monk smiled and said:
"It seems that I have no fate. In that case, we are destined to ...... again."
Wang He saw that the monk seemed to be about to flash, and immediately said:
"But I can write it down silently. ”
The monk looked at Wang He and did not speak.
