Chapter Twenty-Three: In the Vast Heaven and Earth, Shinto is the only one

At noon, Liu Daode personally started, and they made a roasted hare to take out grilled fish.

Now several people are also impressed and feel that he is omnipotent.

If it weren't for Liu Daodao, they would only be able to drink mineral water and eat bread and biscuits at noon today.

First, peel the hares and open their stomachs, clean them and then roast them slowly on the fire. Then Liu Daode skewered the crucian carp, two skewers by hand, and taught them to make grilled fish.

When he smelled the smell of meat, he opened the cloth, took out a bamboo tube with spices from it, and sprinkled it on the rabbit grilled fish.

"Fragrant, delicious!" When the crucian carp was baked, Zhou Bo didn't care about burning his mouth, he was the first to taste it, and then stretched out his thumb.

The firewood used to make the fire is a withered pine branch specially cut by Liu Daodao, which contains grease and is easy to ignite. In addition, after being smoked and grilled, the pine branches will exude a faint rosin fragrance, and even the fish will have a unique taste.

Next, a few girls no longer talked about any lady images, holding branches and eating a lot. In just ten minutes, the grilled crucian carp was swept away by them.

Feeling unfed and their stomachs empty, everyone turned their gaze to the roasted hare above the fire.

Now the hare is golden in color, moist and oily, and looks very attractive.

Lin Xiaotong couldn't help licking his lips and asked, "This should be almost good, right?"

"Well, I'll take a look" Liu Daode poked a few times with a knife, feeling that it was okay, so he cut off a hind leg for today's hero...... Great General.

Subsequently, the hare was divided into six large pieces, one for each person, and as for the rabbit head, it was still considered the general's.

After eating and drinking, everyone hid in the shade of the tree to rest.

Of course, having learned the lesson of the morning, they sat down and searched carefully, but there were no small animals on the ground.

"This is the best barbecue I've ever had, Brother Liu, you're having a very comfortable day, what game do you want to eat, just let the general help catch it, it's just a bourgeois enjoyment." Su Qing sighed a little, "Now I want to change with you and live in the countryside." There are green mountains and green waters, no car exhaust, no hectic city rhythm, and no rush to find a job...... If you own your own land, you just need to be a landlord. ”

"Hehe, individuals have their own way of living, what is there to envy. I really want you to live in Liu Village, Hedong for half a year, facing firewood, rice, oil and salt every day, no computer, no mobile phone, just a few local small stations watching TV, all of which are advertisements for selling medicine. Do you still feel at ease?" Liu Daode asked rhetorically.

"It's the same, if I don't play with the computer for three days, I feel like I'm going crazy. Su Qing nodded thoughtfully, and asked curiously: "However, why don't you be annoyed, repeat the same life every day, how boring it should be, the outside world is very exciting." I have noticed that many young people in rural areas are now going out to work......"

"I haven't bothered me yet, but I'm definitely going to go out for a walk in the future, maybe I'll go to the city in a while and see the bustle of the big city." Liu Daode replied seriously.

"Welcome, welcome, you must call us when you go to the city. Lin Xiaotong and several people spoke one after another.

After getting along for a long time, they all felt that Liu Daode was a good person and worthy of dating, and they had already regarded him as a friend in their hearts.

After resting under the tree for a while, Zhou Bo took out another deck of playing cards to play.

It wasn't until more than three o'clock that a few people swayed out of the mountain.

When he got home and sent a few people away, Liu Daode continued to be busy in the hospital.

There is still a tail left in the grass in the melon field, try to pull it out this afternoon. He squatted in the field for half an hour, pulled a large basket of weeds, and poured them all into the backyard to feed the chickens.

Seeing that the chicken manure in the chicken coop was piled up quite thickly, Liu Daode remembered that he hadn't cleaned it for a few days. He also took two dung baskets from the front yard and cleaned up the chicken manure.

Then he went to the place where the black feather hen was incubating the eggs, and now there were more than a dozen chicks, and only four or five eggs had not hatched. It is estimated that tomorrow, the old hen will lead the chickens around the yard.

It's over, and it's getting dark. Cook and eat as usual...... When I came back to the peach tree, the moon was full in the middle of the sky.

Liu Daode did not cultivate tonight, but stood under the peach tree and looked into the distance.

The moonlight is like satin, pouring softly, wrapping the green mountains in the distance and the green trees in the near distance are wrapped in a layer of haze.

Like smoke and fog, like a dream.

The croaking of frogs, the flickering fireflies, the occasional barking of the village dogs, the night breeze cool, and the murmuring of the river...... Other than that, there was no movement.

The whole land fell silent in the moonlight, as if there was no one.

At this moment, Liu Daodao's heart was filled with boundless loneliness. In fact, the conversation with Su Qing in the mountains in the afternoon suddenly made his heart rise with indescribable mania.

Loneliness, not because he got the land talisman and has kept it secret since then. It was Su Qing's words, like a stone, that shocked the calm and waveless water surface in Liu Daodao's heart, and suddenly became confused.

What am I practicing for? I've been like this all the time, are I annoyed?

Liu Daode has been suppressed during the day, and until now, when there is no one else, a little loneliness appears on his face.

It is said that since he got the talisman, he has embarked on the path of Shinto practice. Liu Daodao's mind changes unconsciously, and he sits and observes the changes in the world around him every day and perceives all things.

His own view of all things in the world has also gradually drifted away from ordinary people. While he is alienating ordinary people, ordinary people are also alienating him.

The road ahead is long, and where is the end?

In the vast Shinto, one person walks alone. There was no companion with him, and no one told him an answer. The truth that I thought was penetrated was shattered by Su Qing's words.

Liu Daode found that all of a sudden, he couldn't find his true heart!!

Before he knew it, he had been standing under the peach tree for half the night. There are so many thoughts in my head, but there is no answer.

The general did not know about the situation of the master, and still lay on the ground, squinting his eyes and sleeping.

On the contrary, the foodie has a keen sense of six senses, and he sensed the abnormal fluctuation of the master's feelings, suddenly flapped his wings, jumped with the help of the stone bench, fluttered and flew onto the stone table, and cooed.

Until now, it has not learned to fly.

Disturbed, Liu Daode came back to his senses and sat down.

The foodie's wings flapped again, and he fell into his master's arms, and his head rubbed against his hand, as if comforting.

"Hey, I'm really obsessed, why do I have to find the answer tonight, I can't find it, don't look for it for the time being. At least, on the path of cultivation, there are foodies and generals who are accompanied by them. Liu Daode sighed, beckoned to the general, and turned around to go back to the house to sleep.

He was open-minded, but he knew in his heart that he was confused, and he had doubts about what he had insisted on for a long time.

If we compare Shinto practice to the threefold realm of life: see the mountain as a mountain, see the water as water, the mountain is not a mountain, the water is not water, the mountain is still a mountain, and the water is still water.

So my previous cultivation should be the first realm, but now, instead I see that the mountain is not a mountain, and the water is not water?

I don't know if I can understand it like this, with questions, Liu Daode slowly fell asleep. xh:.74.240.212
