Chapter 8 Becoming a Fairy
Old man Lu didn't go back to the cabin all night. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Nie Tong fell asleep in meditation. He didn't dream until the sun shone into the valley and he woke up. When I opened my eyes, I saw pastries on the head of the bed, which were large enough to eat for several days.
Grandpa prepared so much food for me, I don't think I will come back for a few days. Nie Tong ate the pastry and pondered. The old man didn't arrange things for him to do, but he was very uncomfortable, and he always felt that he was not full enough.
It makes no sense to look at the books you copied. The contents of those books are already imprinted in my mind. There was nothing to do left and right, and Nie Tong had no choice but to meditate. As I sat down, I suddenly remembered the "black thing", and I wondered: how could I have a sense of intimacy with that black thing? How do you feel a little different from the intimacy of your mother? Could it be that the mother's soul was also absorbed by that thing?
Thinking of this possibility, Nie Tong's whole body suddenly tightened, and his heart panicked. He didn't want his mother to have such an end, so he quickly felt that closeness with his heart. Maybe it's too far away, and that feeling is like nothing. If you don't sense it carefully, you won't be able to sense it at all.
In order to find out the truth, Nie Tong came to the tree. Looking up, the nest was still there, and the black thing was still motionless inside. He decided to climb up and take a closer look at the "black thing" and feel the closeness of the water melting again.
The tree is so thick that it takes about three or five adults to hug it. The tree is very tall, about seventy or eighty meters tall. The trunk alone is fifty or sixty meters long, and there are no forks. If you want to climb up, it is very difficult. But Nie Tong was not afraid, because there was no concept of difficulty in his mind.
He said just do it, and began to climb trees with his hands and feet. The bark is rough and cracked, with grooves and ridges, and its shape is very irregular, and although it increases friction, it can easily cause skin abrasions. Fortunately, Nie Tong's skin was flexible and dense, and it was not easy to scratch the skin, and with the experience of climbing a cabin, he quickly climbed four or five meters high.
However, it was difficult to climb any further up, because he did not have enough physical strength. After barely climbing up about two meters, he was already weak and unable to continue. The muscles of the arms and thighs began to tremble, and the feeling of soreness stimulated the mind. He desperately clung to the trunk of the tree, gritted his teeth and persevered, refusing to give up easily. The legs gripped the trunk of the tree with great difficulty, and as soon as one arm was raised, the body began to fall. Nie Tong purred to the end and sat on the ground.
"Oops! Whew-whew-" There was a tearing pain in the palm of his hand, and Nie Tong screamed involuntarily. He quickly blew his little hands, rubbed his thighs and buttocks, and couldn't stand up for a long time. He was in terrible pain, so tired that he couldn't climb again for a short time.
I'm going to have to climb up and feel the feeling and see what's different. Although my mother hates me and resents me, my mother is my mother. If that black thing really sucks up my mother's mother, I'll definitely find a way to get it back. Nie Tong made up his mind and began to concentrate on recuperating and recovering his strength.
After two pillars of incense, Nie Tong stood up. Without hesitation, he hugged the tree and began to climb again. Determined in his heart to do this, the simple Nie Tong put it into action, and as for whether there was any danger, he didn't think about it at all. Like last time, after climbing six or seven meters high, he fell again.
While resting, he pondered: It's not okay to fall all the time, in case I climb to a high place and fall down again, I won't break my ass into eight petals! What to do...... By the way, if I only use my hands to exert myself, and when I get tired, I can rest with my legs and hold the big tree, and then continue climbing, maybe I will be able to climb higher.
came up with a way, and Nie Tong began to practice again. This time, I didn't even climb to the original height and fell down. I can't help it, I just let my hands work hard, and I get tired faster. His legs hurriedly clamped the big tree to rest, and his hands were not relieved, and his legs were tired, so he walked in the footsteps. Blame this congenital cartilage, it's too powerful! Although he was able to walk, his strength was not enough.
No way. It seems that you still have to work hard with your hands and feet. Well, I just use my hands to exert force, and my legs to help me exert force. When I get tired, I rest with my legs and then climb up. After resting enough, he started practicing, and Nie Tong's tree-climbing career began again. Not to mention, this time it really made him climb more than half a meter. The result? It's the same ass on the ground, grinning teeth. It hurts! The higher you climb, the more painful it hurts to fall.
It's small, isn't it? Then I'll use you to train your strength. Nie Tong rested while lashing at the big tree. After resting enough, he began to climb again......
Nie Tong's every move was watched by Old Man Lu on the top of the South Mountain. He stroked his goatee and sighed: "One person, one mountain, for the immortal." A person helps the wood to seek a nest, and the elevation is also a fairy. This child already has the will and opportunity to become an immortal. Let's see how much perseverance he has, if he can really do it, I will ...... old man It's official! As he spoke, a gust of mountain wind blew, blowing the old man's beard and robe, and he really looked like a fairy wind and bones. (Note: The traditional Chinese character for immortals is written as "僊", and the right half means that people climb to a high place to take the bird's nest, and add the word "person" next to it to indicate that people have risen to immortality.) )
Nie Tong persevered, and it was a whole day to climb. Fall, rest, and climb up. After a day of climbing, it didn't exceed eight meters. Despite the disappointing results, he was not discouraged. It's about his mother, and he can't give up anything.
The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Nie Tong began to climb the tree. Climb up and prune down. Keep climbing, keep purring...... As he climbed, he summed up his experience and began to coordinate his hands and feet. Unfortunately, my physical strength was limited, and at the end of the day, the results were still not satisfactory, but I finally exceeded the height of the cabin.
On the third day, Nie Tong continued to compete with the big tree. Conquering the tree became his only goal now. A day passed, his grades improved, and he climbed to the height of a house and a half. Strange to say, the black thing in the nest remained motionless, as if it had entered hibernation.
In the blink of an eye, five days passed. The hard work paid off, and Nie Tong climbed to a third of the tree trunk. He felt the strength of his hands and feet increase, and his physical strength gradually increased.
But new problems have also arisen. The higher you climb, the higher the physical requirements become, and the more difficult it is to climb up. And as the height increases, the faster the bald prune goes down, and the more painful the fall becomes. So much so that he no longer dared to purr casually.
However, whether to climb up or not is in him, bald or not, but it is not up to him to choose. Every time he came down, he fell and grinned his teeth for a long time. That taste, how sour and sour, sour and refreshing, it's almost crying dad and calling mother. However, he still chose to persevere, pain and happiness, honing his physique and tempering his will.
Ten days have passed, and Nie Tong is still climbing up. The word "give up" is not found in his dictionary. Every meter of persistence is accompanied by countless sweats; Every time I waved my arms, I was accompanied by the soreness of my muscles and muscles, and my whole body trembled; Every fall is accompanied by a trembling of the soul, a tearing pain, and a heart-rending wail. Thankfully, he had finally climbed more than half the distance of the tree trunk.
Old man Lu silently paid attention to Nie Tong on the top of the mountain, every insistence made his heart pound, every time he fell to the ground, his nerves were involved, and unconsciously, silent tears hung on the corners of his eyes. He felt very sorry for the child, but chose to be silent. The road to cultivating truth is full of difficulties, if there is no tenacious perseverance as a backing, how can you break through the cocoon into a butterfly and turn everything into an immortal?
The trunk of the tree became thinner and thinner as it went up, and at more than half the height, Nie Tong was already able to wrap his hands and feet around the trunk at the same time. In this case, it is much more beneficial for people who climb trees. Nie Tong can relieve his legs by clinging to the trunk with both hands, and wrapping his legs around the trunk can also adjust his arms. In this way, the chances of him falling are much smaller. However, physical exhaustion is still the biggest obstacle to his upward movement. He still has to face the consequences of going bald.
Half a month later, thick calluses appeared on my hands, the inside of my arms and my inner thighs, especially the blood blisters on my fingers. However, Nie Tong didn't care about any of this anymore, because victory was already in sight. He had already climbed the branches in the canopy, and he could rest calmly when he climbed up.
Nie Tong finally sat down on the lowest branch. The bird's nest was on the branch of the fourth layer above, and the feeling of closeness was particularly strong. Nie Tong was not in a hurry to climb, he was physically and mentally tired, and the most important thing at the moment was to nourish his spirit. Besides, his purpose was not to dig out the bird's nest, but to experience that feeling up close, to find the answer to the question in his heart.
Nie Tong rested while sensing carefully. It does feel very intimate, it seems that there is some kind of connection between us, but the feeling that my mother gave me is a blood figure. These two feelings are not the same, and it seems that the mother has not been sucked by it. Nie Tong analyzed the results, and his mood relaxed. But he still had a question in his mind: Why should I feel close to it?
Out of curiosity, he decided to see the "black thing" with his own eyes. With a branch to borrow, Nie Tong quickly approached the bird's nest, saw the big "basketball" inside, and heard the powerful beating sound in his ears: pounding, pounding......
Suddenly, the "basketball" moved, spun and rose more than a meter high, and then fell into the bird's nest all at once, shook a few times, and then stopped moving. Nie Tong looked at all this with novelty, and reached out to touch it. Before he could touch it, he stopped. Because he heard the "click" sound, like a chick tapping on an eggshell.
In a short time, the black shell cracked, and a pointed beak was exposed. The beak is black and blue, thin and sharp. As soon as it appeared, it retracted. The "click" sound continued, and the cracks in the black shell became larger and larger, and soon they were completely cracked, and a gray "ugly bird" was revealed.
The "ugly bird" was not afraid when he saw Nie Tong. It flapped its wings twice and stared at Nie Tong as well. Maybe it was Nie Tong's heavy pupils that looked very weird, and the "ugly bird" rushed straight over, and the sharp beak pierced Nie Tong's eyes.
Nie Tong instinctively used his hand to block it, but as soon as his feet slipped, the whole person fell. Fortunately, he grabbed a branch, and Nie Tong hung in the air. He swung the branches as hard as he could, trying to get back to the tree. It's a pity that the branch is a little thin and breaks off overwhelmed. Nie Tong really had to fall......
(Digression: Bitter Melon thinks that there are really immortals in the world.) Because immortals are not necessarily the kind of people who live in the fairy world. There are so many masters in the world who participate in Zen and enlightenment, and there are always a few who have become immortals. It's just that their supernatural powers are not visible to others, and we have no chance to touch them. Don't take the words of a family seriously.
In addition, it is not just a random person who climbs a tree to dig a bird's nest and has the opportunity to become an immortal. It also depends on what kind of bird you are digging out, whether there is an immortal master around you, and the key is whether you have a fairy fate. )
