Part 1 Lufeng Daoyuan Chapter 7 Xiangxiang City Lantern Festival
The general's grandfather wanted to go back to sleep, and he said how could he sleep?
The general's grandfather smiled bitterly: "You kid!"
"Your heart has been cultivated by you for more than ten years, and your kindness to me is as deep as the sea, I don't know when I will be able to repay it?
The general's grandfather pulled up his heart, touched his head, and said, "Silly boy, what are you doing here? Grandpa is not gone forever!"
The general's grandfather continued: "Xinqiao, since you don't want to sleep, grandpa will tell you about cultivation." ”
He told Xin Miao that cultivating the Tao is not for fighting and fighting power, but for seeking the Tao and eternity. From the moment you open your mind, you have stepped into the ranks of seekers and have been able to begin to absorb the aura of heaven and earth. With the improvement of the ability to understand and use the aura, the awareness of the Tao will also be deepened, and the intention of the Dao will be generated, and the Tao will be used for you. As your cultivation deepens, your Dao will become stronger and stronger, and a realm will be formed, allowing you to control everything in this realm, which is the Dao Realm. With the further deepening of cultivation, the Dao Intention Realm will become more and more powerful, the enveloped space will become wider and wider, and the circulation of Dao Intention in it will become more and more intense, more and more arbitrary, and finally the Dao Intention will transform into the Dao Heart, which is the Dao Heart Realm. The Dao Heart Realm envelops endless space, and you are free to do whatever you want in it. When you reach the Dao Heart Realm, you are already one of the strongest people in this world, and that is the existence of the Emperor Realm.
In short, when you have cultivated to the realm of the Dao Heart, your use of the Aura, and your understanding and grasp of the Dao have all reached the highest level that this world can achieve. If you want to go further, there is only one way, and that is to break through this world, reach the other side, and become immortals, eternal and immortal. Of course, these grandfathers don't understand either.
Xin Miao said: "Grandpa, in this way, the highest realm on our Eastern Continent is the Emperor Realm, and above the Emperor Realm is the immortals, right?"
"Maybe, grandpa really doesn't know. ”
"Now that I have opened my spirit and formed a pill, I can absorb and store spiritual energy, and the next step is to cultivate my Dao Intent, right?"
"Yes, but under normal circumstances, you have to cultivate to the level of a general, or you have to cultivate to the realm of a major general, in order to comprehend and master the Dao Intent, only by cultivating to the Great General Realm, can you comprehend and master the Dao Intent Realm, and only by cultivating to the Emperor Realm can you comprehend and master the Dao Heart Realm, and by that time, you can already dominate the Eastern Continent. ”
"Grandpa, I don't want to dominate, I want to rush out of the Eastern Continent and be an immortal. ”
"It's good to have such an ambition, but the path of cultivation is never smooth, you have to have perseverance, you have to persevere, and you have to have no hope of achieving your goal without losing your heart. ”
"Grandpa, I will definitely work hard!"
"Okay, what a good boy! Remember, Xishan Daoyuan is just the starting point, rushing out of the Eastern Continent is the highest goal, grandpa is optimistic about you! Your growth path, grandpa will always pay attention! Behind you, there will always be grandpa's support! Grandpa is gone!"
After speaking, the general's grandfather walked out of the blue brick house and disappeared into the street in an instant.
Xin Miao sat on the bed where the general's grandfather slept, silently shed tears, and when the morning dawned, the tears had dried up, and he walked out of the general's grandfather's blue brick house empty, and then carefully locked the door, crossed the street, and returned to Lao Tan's clinic.
Lao Tan asked him why he didn't ask the general's grandfather to come over for breakfast together, and replied with blank eyes: "Grandpa is gone, and he won't come back." ”
Old Tan was shocked and asked, "Why? What the hell is going on?"
Xin Miao simply told the general's grandfather about it.
Lao Tan was sad for a while, so he actually closed the door of the clinic, walked into the cultivation room in the backyard and locked himself up, and didn't come out until the next morning.
Since then, Lao Tan has always been sullen and rarely smiling.
In the blink of an eye, the New Year is about to close, Lao Tan muttered, if only the general's grandfather was here, the New Year would not be so deserted.
The Wandering Hero's injuries have healed, but unfortunately his brain is damaged and he has become an imbecile, although he can take care of himself, he can't cultivate, but his realm has not been reduced, and he is still a senior colonel. In Lao Tan's eyes, the wandering hero is his own brother, closer than his relatives, and no one is allowed to say half a word of despising the wandering hero, and whoever says it will fight with whom.
The whole Xiangxiang City knows that Lao Tan has a lot of friends, and last time because of the tax payment, he had a big battle with the county magistrate Gao and Deputy County Magistrate Zhu, and beat them to the ground, causing the tax payment of the entire Xiangxiang City to be yellow, and later the county magistrate Gao and Deputy County Magistrate Zhu didn't do anything, Lao Tan is the big hero in Xiangxiang City.
Lao Tan's influence in Xiangxiang City is getting bigger and bigger, and the things of the Wandering Hero are also known to everyone, in fact, no one will say anything about looking down on the Wandering Hero.
There is less general grandfather at dinner, but there is one more wandering hero, in fact, the family is still quite lively.
Lao Tan just didn't think so.
Less is less, more? That's nonsense, not much at all! Without the general's grandfather, the family will be much more deserted! As for the more wandering heroes, the wandering heroes are originally his brothers, how can they be said to be too much!
This year is not happy, Lao Tan said this, Xinqiao also said so, Xinqiao's mother was silent, and the wandering hero said that he was very happy.
After the Chinese New Year, more than ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and the wandering hero said that there was a large lantern festival in Xiangxiang City tonight.
Xinqiao, Tiehuan, Polo, and Xiao Najiao made an appointment to go to the lantern festival together in the evening. In another twenty days, they will take the registration exam of the Xishan Daoist Academy, and if they are admitted, they will have many fewer opportunities to play together in the future, so the four of them all want to have fun again before the exam.
In the evening, the four of them met at Xiao Najiao's house and began to walk towards the Xishan Bridge.
Xiangxiang City is divided into east and west parts by the Lianshui River that passes through the city, and the Xishan Bridge connects the east and west parts of Xiangxiang City, the lantern will start from the east of the Xishan Bridge, and continue to the west building of the town in the west of the Xishan Bridge, and then pass the pontoon bridge from the west building of the town, and finally end in the Bizhou Park in the Lianshui River, with a total length of about five miles. Such a grand lantern festival is the largest in Xiangxiang City in the past ten years.
It is said that it was the county magistrate Gao who ruled the county in a good way and would be re-elected as the next county magistrate, and as soon as he was happy, he wanted to have fun with the people.
After dinner, everyone came to Xiao Najiao's house early.
Xiao Najiao is dressed very differently today, with a small red jacket and green checkered trousers, plus a pair of modern boots, the combination of local and foreign, which is very eye-catching. Her person was already very beautiful, close to fourteen years old, and her figure began to rise, and with what she was wearing today, she was destined to be given extra attention at the Lantern Festival.
When she saw that everyone was coming, she said, "Let's go." ”
The four of them set off together happily humming a minor tune.
There are many people on the Xishan Bridge who are looking at the colored paper strips hanging on both sides of the bridge, on each colored paper, there is a riddle for people to guess, and if you guess it, you will be rewarded with a piece of "chicken and duck candy", chicken and duck candy is the soil sugar steamed out of sweet potatoes, and the people in Xiangxiang City like to eat it very much, especially children, who love to eat more. A piece of chicken and duck candy can wrap all people's teeth, and the golden chicken and duck candy sticks to the teeth and becomes a big gold tooth, which is strange and scary, because of this, children like to eat and play, and they are scary while eating.
The lanterns are hung high, the ribbons are fluttering, the fire trees are silver, and the lights are brilliant. Along the bank of the Lianshui River, people eat rice balls by the stalls, or bring the old to help the young, watch the lights with the family, or chase and fight, make a mess, or evaluate the head and taste, the Yiren are the most beautiful......
Unconsciously, the four of them came to the west floor of the town.
The legend of the west building of the town is built in ancient times, used to guard the Xiangxiang City, and there is a text in ancient times as evidence: "...... Xiaoyi has no city, the people are afraid of no security, and the shape of the family is enough to town the West Mountain and make the screen domain also, because of the name. The West Mountain, the old name of Si Xiaoyi is also ...... "There is also a joint in the west building of the town: "Put the river and the mountain into the bosom, the eyes are full of vitality, and the green comes to Hengyue; Because there is "green to Jiangnan" in the association, it shows that Xiangxiang County is a county, and Jiangnan, the momentum is great, and it contains the whole province. This is also the reason why the successive governors of Jiangnan Province have come to the west building of the town to pay their respects when they take office.
The four of them climbed to the highest point of the west building of the town to watch the panoramic view of the lantern festival.
There are people who are exclaiming: "Zhuang Si Lou!"
Another inker sang: "The near water and the mountains are all freehand, and Huang Zhong Da Lu is in harmony!"
Influenced by his father, he was quite literate, and laughed at the three of them: "Haha, tonight's lantern festival should be enjoyable!"
Polo beside him sneered softly: "Brother, it's okay to be romantic, don't be lewd......"
Xin Miao said angrily: "Who is indecent? If you don't say that you are ugly, see if I don't beat you!"
Polo whispered in his ear, "Your eyes have been staring at Najiao's girl......"
Xin Miao's face flushed in an instant, and he said softly: "Get out!"
Xiao Najiao kept running in front, because of the noisy voices, she didn't hear what the two were talking clearly, and when she turned around, she saw Xinmiao's face flushed, and asked, "Brother Xinqiao, Polo made you angry?"
"No, no, let's go to Bizhou Park!" said Xinmiao.
"Yes, yes, go to Bizhou Park, it's the most lively place!" Polo echoed.
Tiehuan shook his head, smiled and said, "Let's go!"
Xiao Najiao shouted happily, "Let's go!" and ran briskly down the west building of the town and walked towards the pontoon.
The pontoon bridge is narrow, tied into a colorful bridge, and two rows of lanterns are hung on both sides, swaying in the river of love water, flickering happily. Pedestrians on the bridge passed one after another, no one lingered on it, and after crossing the pontoon, you arrived at Bizhou Park.
Bizhou Park is an oasis in the Lianshui River, the night of the lantern festival, the lights are dense, looking from a distance, like a starry spot.
Xiao Najiao took the lead and walked into the oasis.
On the small stone hill not far from the entrance of the park, there is a pavilion called "Mochizuki Pavilion", there is no moon tonight, only the lights. Climb the Moon Pavilion, overlook the Lianshui River, do not see the reflection of the moon, but see the sparkling waves, red into a piece.
As soon as Xiao Najiao boarded the Moon Pavilion, she heard someone calling her: "Jiaojiao, come here, my brother will introduce you to a few upper-class friends, and when you enter the Xishan Dao Courtyard, they can all cover you!"
Xiao Najiao looked at it, and it turned out to be Gao Shan, Zhu Biao, and the two of them accompanied by a few arrogant upper-class boys. Her face sank, her smile disappeared, and she said coldly: "Thank you Gao Gongzi for your kindness, this girl can't climb high!"
"Oh, this girl is a little pepper!haha, I like it!" one of the teenagers in a white aristocratic robe laughed.
"What a fashionable little girl!" exclaimed another boy in a light blue robe.
Although these upper-class sons are not from Xiangxiang City, they will also participate in the registration examination of the Xishan Daoist Academy, which is among the best among the Daoists at the county level in Jiangnan Province.
When Gao Shan saw the white-robed young man say this, he said sourly: "Brother Hu Gui, she was originally my favorite, since you like it, I don't mind if you chase it!"
"Okay! But you said it!" Hu Gui ignored Gao Shan's sourness and walked towards Xiao Najiao with a grin.
Xiao Najiao saw the white-robed young man coming over with bad intentions, she had never encountered such a situation, and asked in a little panic, "What are you going to do?"
"Little pepper, my brother is from the Hu family, one of the three major families in Jiangnan City, and I was invited by your county magistrate to come here to enjoy the lanterns, why don't you enjoy this good night scene with me?"
After Hu Gui finished speaking, he was going to Lashona Jiao's little hand.
