Chapter 024: Look at the near and the far
"Fellow Daoist, are you really going back to Xuanqing Mountain with us?"
The plum forest, the riverside, behind the lush thousands of miles of jungle, in front of a grassy sparse forest.
A man and a woman stand by the river.
The young Taoist held a glass cup in his hand, and a white dome stood beside him, and the maiden in palace clothes tied up her long hair, wearing a carefully selected silver chain hair ornament, and holding a simple long sword.
On the body of the sword, there was a purple figure more than a foot high, and it was this purple phantom that called Zhou Zhou a Taoist friend.
Zhou Zhou arched his hand at the long sword and said with a smile: "No, I still have to help Xiaoyu find the cave mansion, the seniors and Dongfang Gang got together, and I can't disturb you." ”
"Undisturbing ......"
Dongfang Yu'er looked forward to nostalgia, and in those big eyes with a little grievance and expectation, she seemed to be able to speak, waiting for Zhou Zhou's reply.
Her appearance is full of lethality.
Zhou Zhou still shook his head and refused, "Still no, according to what the predecessors said, Xuanqing Mountain is one of the best sects in the Dao Sect, and there are many rules for this sect, I can't stand it, I just want to find a small hill to cultivate immortals in peace." ”
He also said what he said from the heart. Apprenticeship to find immortals, the purpose is mostly immortal law, he entered the Taiqing Taoist system, there is a double trick of water and fire, but it is not only this method of cultivating immortals.
'Law, wealth, couples, land' or something, Zhou Zhou at this time only has a little demand for 'wealth'.
Hearing that he refused again, Dongfang Yu'er's expression was slightly gloomy, but she was still trying to smile. She looked at her father's remnant spirit standing on the sword in her hand, as if she had made some decision, and said in a low voice: "If Daoist friends choose a good mountain gate and find a good sect, you must let Yu'er know that I, I will go to find you." ”
After saying that, the blush of her face covered the loss.
The figure on the sword smiled, waiting for Zhou Zhou to answer.
"What are you looking for me, be your eldest monk. Zhou Zhou waved his hand, looked away, and lifted the angel egg with his hand. He pointed in the direction of the lower reaches of the river, "I'm going downstream, two please." ”
The purple figure arched his hand: "Fellow Daoist, please." ”
Dongfang Yu'er pursed her lips, her face was full of grievances, and she said in a low voice: "Yu'er...... I want to see you leave. ”
"You're really in trouble. ”
Zhou Zhou put away the angel egg, he thought that the farewell ceremony or something, it would be best to let the angel girl watch it too. Because I feel in my heart that Dongfang Yu'er is already their friend.
He turned around in a very chic manner, with his long hair scattered, his straw sandals kicked, and the glass cup in one hand, and he walked away along the river.
The little carp was facing in the direction of Dongfang Yu'er, gently spitting blisters in the water, and she suddenly shouted: "Trouble spirit! Goodbye! Take care! Don't be chased and killed again!"
Dongfang Yu'er chuckled and nodded.
The figure on the long sword in her hand showed a slightly guilty expression, and said loudly: "Don't worry, fellow Daoist! In the future, even if I fight to ashes, no one can hurt my daughter in the slightest! If there is anything, please come to Xuanqing Mountain to find us!"
Zhou Zhou, who had already walked ten zhang away, raised his hand and waved without looking back.
Dongfang Yu'er refused to leave for a long time, even if Zhou Zhou was only a vague figure left, she would not be able to see it in her sight, and she still refused to leave.
Zhou Zhou's spiritual sense also 'saw' her figure that refused to leave, stopped and turned around, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Dongfang! Remember, low-key cultivation of immortals for immortality!"
"Well, I will. ”
Finally, Dongfang Yu'er couldn't stop the tears flowing down her cheeks, but she had a bright smile in her tears.
"Alas, being close to your mother is the same character," the figure on the sword sighed softly, "Let's go back, and when your grandmother helps me recover, even if I am forcibly tied up, I will bring him to be a Taoist companion with you." ”
"Don't!" Dongfang Yu'er wiped away her tears, a sad smile bloomed on her face, "He doesn't like me, I know." ”
"How can it be, my daughter is so beautiful," the figure on the sword body looked loving, and encouraged her: "Your background and qualifications, where is not worthy of him? ”
Dongfang Yu'er's face was flushed, she wiped her tears, and her expression was a little twisted by her daughter's family.
"Yes...... Really?"
"Of course it's true, your father and I came from this stage, and I only think about cultivating immortals and seeking the Tao in my heart. The figure laughed, and his words were full of feelings: "When I was as old as him, there was always a senior sister to help me take a bath and rub my back, but I was...... Alas, it's not sensible. ”
"Father, how sorry?" Dongfang Yu'er's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.
There is a murderous aura!
The figure on the sword coughed, and casually laid a seven-star array on the ground, "Let's go, I can move twice a day, three thousand miles each time." In this way, you will be able to return to Xuanqing Mountain in three to five days. ”
Dongfang Yu'er looked up at the direction Zhou Zhou left again, sighed softly, muttered a few words, and then stepped into the Seven Star Array, and the figure disappeared.
Only the fairy shadow curls, the green smoke is slow, and the fragrance is faint.
"The fairy road looks near and far, and hopes to be with you...... Zhou Zhou, you ...... Don't forget my ......."
……
Waiting for Dongfang Yu'er to step on the moving circle and leave, the figures of Zhou Zhou and Xiaoyu walked back slowly.
"Why do you have to pretend to be parting ways when you're on the same road with others?" asked the little carp, swimming happily in the glass cup.
As soon as Dongfang Yu'er left, she was inexplicably much more comfortable, and she didn't play petty with Zhou Zhou anymore.
"I meant to send her out of the woods, hahaha! Zhou Zhou laughed, his whole body was a lot easier, and the thoughts in his heart kept turning:
Dongfang Yu'er hadn't told her father that she had accidentally eaten the 3,000-year-old violet fruit spirit root. From Dongfang Yu'er's mouth, I learned that that thing is a great treasure, and the fruit that bears fruit can be used to prolong the life of monks below the Dao Rong Realm......
I have been following the father and daughter, in case I accidentally expose this matter, what should the uncle do if he troubles him?
That's right, this is what Zhou Zhou really thinks in his heart!
As long as he thought of it, he might be caught and bloodletting, refining medicine, and maybe even thrown directly into the alchemy furnace, and like Sun Monkey, he would be calcined into an elixir......
He is not the stone monkey! he must have turned into a puddle of flesh and blood, and was rubbed into four happy balls little by little......
Zhou Zhou shuddered twice.
"Little Taoist, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, it's a little cold...... Tsk, speaking of Sun Monkey, I don't know if he is in this desolate world. ”
Zhou Zhou muttered a sentence and began to go up the big river, instead of going down the river as he had planned a few days ago.
"Who is Sun Monkey?" asked the little carp curiously, as the innocent little girl's voice regained her usual closeness.
"A monkey jumping out of a rock, maybe you'll see it later. ”
Zhou Zhou replied casually, bowed his head and kept muttering: "Now I only know that it is now three thousand years after the gods, from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, it should be about 1,500 years, so isn't it that Sun Monkey has finished traveling west? Hmm...... I can't count it according to the history I know, otherwise it would be 2,000 years or hundreds of years A.D....... The head is so big, forget it......"
The little carp asked worriedly: "Little Taoist, don't you have a big head, do you become stupid after staying with that troublesome Yu'er for a few days?"
"You're stupid!" Zhou Zhou rolled his eyes, flicked his sleeves, and re-performed the deadwood trick.
In the desolation he knows, it is often the story of Journey to the West after the gods, and if it really happens, it is not something that he, a little monk, can mix.
And, to mix with what?
What is the Western religion coming from the east, and Buddhism is prosperous...... Have a half-dime relationship with him?
"Xiaoyu," Zhou Zhou smiled slightly, "tell me in detail about the situation when the angel girl appeared." ”
"Don't say it! It's a hundred and three times. ”
"Then make up a hundred and eight numbers, don't be so stingy, and come back five times. ”
"Heaven and earth can be ripped out by you, alas...... What is this constantly churning dark emotion in Benyu's heart......"
"What are you pitch black, hurry up!"
"Hmph!" Benyu said one last time, as she stood in the air, her white wings...... yes, could she be some kind of bird spirit? Could it be a pigeon spirit?"
"Your sister's bird, the yarn pigeon, that's an angel!
Zhou Zhou's roar came from afar......
After this experience of 'meddling in affairs and almost ending his life', Zhou Zhou has firmly established the eight-character policy of 'low-key cultivation of immortals and being a stable person'.
An old woman popped up casually, and she almost played herself to death, crippled, and vomited blood.
Although this desolation is huge, there are countless immortals and great monks. I don't have any backing, but I'm just a mortal who was pulled over by an angel girl, and now my cultivation is still so low, I don't cultivate immortals honestly, and I don't care about anything!
However, the benefits of meddling are obvious......
After swallowing a spiritual root with infinite utility, his cultivation rose a lot, and the Dao foundation became more solid.
The spiritual sense has also grown a little stronger, and he has also fought with Brother Jindan - although he was tortured by blood.
For example, if Zhou Zhou cultivated the road before, he took a small road with sheep's intestines, and he could barely walk forward, maybe he would be blocked. Now, he is standing on a straight road, and he can go all the way without worrying about his ordinary qualifications and congenital limitations.
The spiritual root is the source of spiritual flowers, spiritual fruits, and spiritual objects.
Zhou Zhou didn't know how much benefit he would bring to him in the future by eating the spiritual root by mistake this time. After all, even if it is an ordinary immortal, it is impossible to directly gnaw the spiritual root as a radish, it is completely a tyrannical thing. The effect of the spiritual root is only equivalent to one or a few ripe fruits.
The reason why the spiritual root can brew the spiritual fruit is that it contains the 'Tao' principle......
After two days of walking, it was still deserted, and the land was gradually no longer so desolate. This is purely Zhou Zhou's feeling, he still hasn't seen any people.
At noon one day, Zhou Zhou released the little carp from the glass cup and asked her to go to the river to 'release the wind'.
"Didn't we originally want to go downstream?" asked the little carp curiously.
"I thought about it carefully, if I went down the river, to the east, there would be a sea at the end. Zhou Zhou looked at the sparkling river and explained to the little carp, "I want to go to Middle-earth to find a teacher, isn't it a place where Terran monks gather? ”
"Hmph...... Okay, I'll take a nap, there's still a lot of inherited memories that I haven't read. ”
The small carp slowly dived into the water, and several bubbles appeared on the surface of the water.
Zhou Zhou's fingers moved, and he pinched the magic trick in his hand, and two waves poured out from the river and rushed to the shore, bringing out a few fat big fish.
"Haha! I'll eat grilled fish at noon!"
The small fish's vicious warning voice came out in the water: "Don't eat carp!"
"How can there be carp," Zhou Zhou had already set up a firewood pile, drew out the flames casually, and began to roast them carefully, "Besides, these are ordinary fish, and they are not spiritual creatures of your clan." ”
"Alas, whoever let us fish was originally destined to be food...... Regardless of you, this fish slept first. ”
"Sleep, and we'll go back in the night. Zhou Zhou laid out his spiritual sense in the water, wrapped and guarded the small fish, and operated the water control trick, and the rich water elements floated around the little carp.
In the past few days, Zhou Zhou did not absorb the vitality of heaven and earth, but continued to refine the medicinal power in his body.
"I just don't know when I can cultivate the Dao body to perfection and condense the golden pill. ”
Daoji still has to be solid and can't be rushed.
After careful calculation, he only had the enemy of the Gray Teng Daoist of Wulian Mountain now, and no one put the knife on his neck, forcing him to cultivate quickly.
Taiqing Dao is created by the sage Lao Tzu, re-emphasizing the Tao heart of tranquility and inaction, which was reminded by the old man Gongji, and only by going with the flow can we achieve the fruit of immortality.
Go with the flow?
Nibbled on a grilled fish, although there was no seasoning, but there was Zhou Zhou's fire control trick to constantly control the heat, and the taste was very delicious.
"Ahh
Stretching his waist and yawning, Zhou Zhou took out a slightly soft piece of wood that he picked up on the road in Qu Yuan's bag, spread two layers of water yuan to make a pillow, and lay on the ground with his eyes closed and fell asleep.
'Eating and sleeping when you're full and doing nothing are completely the same,' Zhou Zhou thought to himself.
If he dared to say it, maybe he would provoke Lao Tzu to appear and slap him, an ant gatekeeper, to death......
Two half-cooked grilled fish were placed on the fire rack, and Zhou Zhou was ready to wake up and eat again, controlling the flame to weaken and try what it tasted like with smoke.
I closed my eyes in a daze, and my breath gradually became long and stretched.
The spiritual consciousness rippled around his body like water, fluttering in the air like catkins, and while he was sleeping, the spiritual consciousness was playing and communicating with the vitality of heaven and earth.
The sound of snoring is rising, and the enlightenment is ......
Not far away, in a large tree, among the dense branches, two eyes were firmly fixed on the grill by the river, and the two smoked fish on it.
With a grunt, it swallowed.
