Chapter 943: A Dream of Huangliang
In the misty waters, the fog is shrouded in shallow water like a thin veil, thick or faint, making it dreamlike in a little farther away.
The small one-leaf flat boat drove slowly, and the pointed boat swept through the circle of ripples, from far to near, and gradually came.
On the body of the boat, an old man wore a hat and a penny in his hand, and he stroked left and right, and walked in a circle.
"I've seen my husband."
The boat was near, Meng Yi didn't dare to slack off, and bowed. This old man is very magical, very weird, Meng Yi can't see through his cultivation, and even the feeling he gives Meng Yi is a feeling of emptiness.
The old man seemed to be one with everything around him, without revealing the slightest breath of his own, and in his body, Meng Yi only felt the breath of the sky, the earth, the jungle, the water and the lake.
"Young man, meet again." The old man smiled slightly, his smile was quite meaningful, "The old man let you leave last time, why do you still stay here?" ”
"I am puzzled in my heart, I dare not leave, and I hope the old man can point out!" Meng Yi said respectfully.
This old man was able to point out his surname for no reason, and what else did he say about the four generations of the Meng family, which sounded inexplicable, but when he thought about it carefully, it made Meng Yi feel very surprised.
First of all, why did this old man know that his surname was Meng when they met for the first time?
"The confusion in your heart, the old man understands, but you can't ask, and I can't say, the cause of all laws, you naturally know when you shouldn't, and it's in vain to know when you shouldn't." The old man was about to leave again with a penny.
Meng Yi chased after a few steps and asked, "Can the kid not ask the confusion in his heart, but ask other questions?" ”
"What do you want to ask?"
"The kid wants to ask, where is the entrance to Taikoo Liuli Island, can you please tell the old man?"
"You really want to go?"
"But if you go, you may never come back, would you?" The old man stopped the boat for a moment.
"It's okay, I just hope that my husband will tell me." Meng Yi would not be frightened by his words, what places has he not been to these days? Even though the Taigu Liuli Island is dangerous, he has already heard about it in the mouth of the robbery, even if it is dangerous, as long as he calls Lie back again, at least he will be able to protect himself when the time comes.
"Huh!" The old man suddenly laughed, and the boat suddenly rose sideways and stopped on the shore. The old man's eyes looked at Meng Yi from top to bottom, and asked, "Look at your fate, I would like to give you a dream, can you accept it?" ”
"Give me a dream?"
"That's right, the so-called dream is life, life is a dream, the moon in the mirror, the dream is true, the dream is true, and the old man gives a dream in ten years. But now it has been at least 80 years, and no one has been given a dream. ”
"Why, am I the only one who has been here for more than 80 years?" Meng Yi asked.
"You are not alone, there are many people who have come here, but there are few people who are qualified to receive my dreams. Before talking about the cause, and then talking about the effect, there is no cause with it, there is no effect naturally, and there is a cause with it, so that the effect can be obtained. ”
"In this way, there is a cause and effect between the boy and the old man?"
"Naturally, when you and I meet twice, it is fate, and when we talk twice, it is also fate. The old man gave you a dream, do you want it or not? The old man smiled, and his eyes were deep and deep. The face is like dead wood, and the god is like a rakshasa.
Somehow, Meng Yi actually saw a bit of ferocity on his face.
"If you want to give dreams, how can you give the Dharma?" Meng Yi asked, is it the first time he has heard of this strange thing when he has grown so big, and he has given dreams? Can dreams be given?
He had only heard of a dream of Huangliang, the allusion of this came from the Tang Dynasty, according to legend, during the Tang Dynasty, a Taoist priest named Lu Weng was going to Handan for something, and happened to meet a scholar surnamed Lu. Lu Sheng longed for glory and wealth, but Lu Weng's persuasion was fruitless, so he let Lu Sheng sleep on his pillow, so that he could get glory and wealth in his dreams. Lu Sheng experienced ups and downs in his dreams, and finally spent more than his years in glory and wealth. Lu Sheng woke up after his dream and found that the yellow rice steamed by the shopkeeper was not yet cooked.
This story is a metaphor for glory and wealth like a dream, short and illusory; Beautiful things are just a moment, and they become empty in the blink of an eye.
And the old man in front of him also wanted to say that he gave dreams, so he taught him to be curious.
But the old man suddenly took out a jar, which was placed on the bow of the boat, and the old man took off his coat, took off his hat, and blew on the jar, and saw that the jar suddenly became larger.
"You can only dream when you enter my altar, will you?" The old man smiled and stood with his beard twisted.
"Into your jar?"
"That's right, you can get a dream only when you enter the jar, and what you create in your dream depends on your own fate." The old man said quietly.
Meng Yi took a step forward, he felt that it was okay to go, it was just an altar, with his own ability, if this old man was treacherous, would he still be afraid of him?
But he heard a slight voice in his ear, warning him: "This matter is fraudulent, this old man has no breath at all, and even the deity can't smell the human smell on his body, so maybe this old man is not a human at all." ”
"Not human?" Meng Yi was taken aback, and the voice in his heart began to communicate with the robbery.
"Yes, there is no trace of popularity on his body, he is definitely not a person, the deity did not dare to conclude before, but now at such a close distance, the deity can be sure that he is definitely not a human. But anyone who can appear in or around the Ancient Glass Island is not an ordinary person. Boy, if you dare to enter his altar, I am afraid that you will be ordered to enter and not to come out. He kindly comforted.
These words were like a slap in the face, which made Meng Yi have to be cautious.
Yes, whether this ancient glass island is inside or outside the island, how can there be generals? Even the beasts around here are extraordinary, not to mention an old man who can crisscross any river and sea here.
This old man seems to be amiable and harmless to humans and animals, but who knows if he is a demon who eats people and does not spit out bones?
The so-called wall stands thousands of people, and if there is no desire, it is rigid.
The so-called dreamers are like bubbles. What about dreams? Waking up from a dream, what is the difference between getting it and not getting it?
If it is like a dream, it is just an empty joy, and it will take a risk out of thin air.
Seeing Meng Yi's hesitation, the old man smiled and said, "What's the matter?" Young man, you don't want to accept it? ”
Meng Yi said respectfully: "I'm sorry, the kid thinks that being a man should be down-to-earth, the so-called dreams are like bubbles, and the gains in the dreams are all vain. ”
This is quite euphemistic, expressing that he wants to be down-to-earth and doesn't want to use dreams to delusional.
The old man smiled and said, "I am also a cautious person, as you said, the dream is indeed a bubble, and it is indeed false, since you don't want it, the old man will leave." ”
"Old man......"
Meng Yi hurriedly called him, he hadn't said anything about the entrance to the Ancient Glass Island.
However, the old man said to leave, and Yiye Bianzhou had just turned a corner, when the fog suddenly rose sharply, obscuring his vision.
Meng Yi waved his robe, and a huge wind blew away, blowing away the fog, but when he saw the vast river, he could no longer see the flat boat.
The old man, just as when he came, the dragon saw the head but did not see the end, came and went in a hurry, came and did not know where it came, and did not know where it went.
"Why do you ask so much? The deity still has a little memory, and it should be right to go along this river. Just go up the river, the old man is mysterious and strange, and you better not mess with him. "Zai put forward his own opinion.
"That's all there is to it." Meng Yi nodded, and sat cross-legged on the shore, waiting for Lie's return.
As long as there are two Qi Qi beside him, he is sure to follow the murderous river and go straight up to find the true entrance of the Taigu Liuli Island.
