Chapter 42 There are treasures under the second sky mountain
Ye Xiaoshuai stood on the edge of the top of the cliff, looking at the cliff on the opposite side, it was really thrilling, the scale was grand, the momentum was magnificent, the length of the entire cliff was not a thousand meters, but at least seven or eight hundred meters, the height of the two tails was estimated to be more than fifty meters, the height of the middle section was three hundred meters, only a little more, the reddish-brown cliff wall was like a knife cutting axe, under the sunlight, it was divided into several layers of different colors, from the black red, dark red, sauce red, iron red, blood red, bright red to light red, milky red, gray red, There are even white and red ones, layered on top of each other, so not spectacular! The dotted greens make the whole stiff cliff look alive. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although Ye Xiaoshuai couldn't see what the cliff under his feet looked like, he felt that it should be similar to the one opposite, and he thought, if he looked up at the bottom of the deep gorge, what kind of majestic and precipitous, towering, tall and magnificent? Ye Xiaoshuai silently recited the words and sentences in Nalan Xingde's "Remembering Qin'e and Mountain Overlap": "The cliff is a line of doubt, the sky is suspicious, and the sky is suspicious." "The creation of nature is really a miracle!" Hey, the hell! It's best to use it here. Ye Xiaoshuai muttered to himself and nodded involuntarily.
Look at the sky is not early, the sun only has half of his face exposed on the distant mountain, Ye Xiaoshuai searched east along the top of the cliff to see if he could find a way to walk down the bottom of the cliff, he must find a place to rest at night as soon as possible, it is definitely not possible to spend the night on the top of the cliff, fortunately, the top of the cliff is not like the thorns and vines in the mountain, except for some low weeds, that is, stones, it is relatively smooth to walk, Ye Xiaoshuai has been walking like that, but he has been on the top of the cliff, until the sun completely sets, and the sky is completely dark, Didn't find a way down the cliff, Ye Xiaoshuai thought about how long this cliff was, walked for nearly two hours, there was no three miles, at least two miles. There is no way, and I can only accept the cold wind and cold dew here at night.
Since I ate a small piece of snail meat yesterday, I haven't had anything in my stomach, and not only can I not find wild fruits and vegetables on this mountain, but I don't even have any water. It's been two days and one night since I came up from the patio, and my mouth is so dry that my throat is on fire, and I haven't even urinated, and I haven't spilled it all day. If you can't find water tomorrow, it's a big problem, and you can go days without food, but you must not go without water for days.
Ye Xiaoshuai finally understood, no wonder since he came up from the patio to now, after walking through the mountains and forests for so long, he didn't find a single live animal, except for the birds flying in the sky, which occasionally landed on the treetops and called a few times, and he didn't even see a squirrel.
Ye Xiaoshuai secretly decided that he couldn't rest tonight, he had to finish this cliff top, anyway, the cliff top was full of stones, under the starlight, there was still a little faint light, and he could grope his way forward, Ye Xiaoshuai groped forward in the dark for a long time, feeling really sleepy, his eyelids were a little open, his legs were a little fluttering, his whole body was a little shaky, so he had to sit on the stone and rest.
Ye Xiaoshuai closed his eyes, crossed his legs, secretly ran his internal force, adjusted his physical state, and chanted words in his mouth: "Repeat Su Bodhi." Bodhisattvas should have no place to live in the Dharma, and they should practice in generosity. The so-called non-stop color giving. Don't stop the sound and fragrance to touch the Dharma and give alms. Subodhi. Bodhisattvas should be able to give in this way, not dwelling in appearances. Why. If the bodhisattva does not stop giving to each other. Its fortune is incredible. Subodhi. Yu Yiyun He. The Eastern Void can be thought of not. No, not the World-Honored One. Subodhi. The four-dimensional upper and lower voids in the south, northwest, and north can be considered. No, not the World-Honored One. Subodhi. Bodhisattvas have no dwelling in generosity. The same is true of merit. Subodhi. Bodhisattvas should live as taught. ”
Ye Xiaoshuai silently recited the "Wonderful Journey" in the "Diamond Sutra", and commented to himself: "This is also the heart of giving to be pure, the heart of action to be right, because of purity, so it is possible to give for a long time, for people to do things, without distractions, concentrated, the heart is omnipresent, and everything is everywhere." ”
Ye Xiaoshuai rested for a while, recovered his physical strength, and began to continue to grope forward, suddenly, Ye Xiaoshuai's already very familiar voice came from outside the sky, and Ye Xiaoshuai's heart was filled with joy: "The black vulture is back." ”
Ye Xiaoshuai looked up into space, a black shadow under the starry sky became bigger and bigger, and after a while, he saw a pair of huge wings that were opened, with a gust of wind, and with a "poof" sound, the black vulture landed on the stone next to Ye Xiaoshuai, and put something in his mouth at Ye Xiaoshuai's feet. Ye Xiaoshuai looked at the black eagle, asked the black eagle and asked himself, "What is it?" "I picked it up and looked at it, it seemed to be a pheasant, and it was still a little hot, it seemed that it had just been caught, maybe the black vulture didn't eat it himself.
Ye Xiaoshuai also sat down on the stone, stroked the black eagle's head and said, "You didn't eat either, did you?" It seems that in winter, it is not easy for you to hunt! ”
In fact, the black vulture generally does not prey, to be precise, it belongs to the robbery, the black vulture is usually ordinary, either in the cliff and high place, or flying in the air, peeking down, once found that there are birds and beasts to capture food, they immediately quickly slide down from a high place, from the mouths of those birds and beasts, snatch the food down, and quickly fly into the air, those birds and beasts that have been robbed of food, but also have to helplessly stop and watch the black eagle leave, until the shadow of the black eagle can not be seen, only to move away.
Ye Xiaoshuai looked at the wild pheasant a little worried, how can you eat this? This is different from the meat of the snail-like thing in the patio, the meat of that thing is not so strong, and it is easy to digest without chewing, and the pheasant is also an athletic animal, and the strength of its meat is very strong, raw food is not only not chewable at all, even if it is swallowed into the stomach, it is also difficult to digest.
He can't be compared with the black vulture no matter what, Ye Xiaoshuai is carrying the pheasant in his hand, looking at the black vulture helplessly and saying, "Eat like this?" ”
As soon as the black eagle stretched out its long beak, it snatched the pheasant from Ye Xiaoshuai's hand, stepped on the pheasant's head with one foot, pecked the pheasant's stomach with its hard mouth, and stepped on the pheasant's wings with the other foot, and pulled the pheasant up violently, only listening to the "hiss" body, the pheasant was torn in half, and in less than half an hour, the whole pheasant was torn into pieces by the black vulture and placed on the stone, the black eagle picked up a piece and swallowed it in his stomach, and the feathers of the pheasant came out of the black eagle's mouth and fell to the ground.
Ye Xiaoshuai watched the black vulture make it so bloody and ferocious, not only did he lose his appetite at all, but his chest turned straight over, he wanted to vomit but couldn't vomit, and he was extremely uncomfortable. Ye Xiaoshuai quietly ran his internal force, controlled the feeling of vomiting, looked at the distant mountains, and fell into a state of contemplation.
But the stomach was really angry, and kept gurgling, Ye Xiaoshuai had no choice but to pick up a piece of wild mountain chicken with feathers, pinched the feathers on the wild mountain chicken with a few fingers, bit the meat to the mouth, and tore it hard, and pulled it hard, but the meat was still not torn off, but the feathers were torn off.
Ye Xiaoshuai simply plucked the feathers of the pheasant first, but he couldn't pull it clean, not to mention the fine fluff, even those fine soft hairs couldn't be plucked. No matter what, it's better to eat than not to eat, it's better to have a full stomach than to be hungry, not to mention the heart of the black vulture! More importantly, we must replenish our physical strength and improve our physical fitness, and we will continue to find a way down the mountain tomorrow, if we don't eat, we will die of hunger and thirst on the top of this mountain cliff.
Ye Xiaoshuai was like a black eagle, swallowing the wild mountain chicken and the hair into his stomach, at first, the difficult swallowing and the disgusting smell of blood made Ye Xiaoshuai vomit several times, but Ye Xiaoshuai did not give up the action of continuing to swallow, and after a few pieces of belly, he slowly adapted, and a wild pheasant was eliminated in Ye Xiaoshuai and the black eagle's swallowing one by one.
The well-fed black vulture crawled beside Ye Xiaoshuai, Ye Xiaoshuai wanted the black vulture not to fly away, and he had to spend the night on this stone, but this stone was cold, and the night wind on the top of the cliff was strong, whirring, and it went straight into the human bones, it was really cold and biting, sleeping on the stone all night, can you still move tomorrow? Ye Xiaoshuai thought, can't be like this, can't lie still, let alone lie down and fall asleep, if you can't get up tomorrow.
Walking, even if it is stop-and-go, even if you can't walk much, even if you are tired, even if you are sleepy, you must continue to maintain a state of movement. Ye Xiaoshuai acted when he thought of it, patted the black eagle's head and said, "I'm leaving." He stood up, lifted his step, walked forward between the stones, or climbed, or climbed, or jumped up, or jumped, or stepped over, and so on and so forth, and so on, and so on, and so on,
And the black vulture didn't sleep, just flew from this stone to that stone, and flew back to this stone from that stone to this stone, and stayed by Ye Xiaoshuai's side all night.
The sky began to brighten, Ye Xiaoshuai finally came to the end of the cliff, the top edge of the cliff appeared in Ye Xiaoshuai's field of vision in a gradually downward diagonal line, Ye Xiaoshuai's heart began to be cheerful, his steps immediately became much lighter, and the speed of progress was obviously faster, and he said to the black eagle: "I finally came out of the mountain." The black vulture cooed a few times, spread its wings and flew away.
Today's weather is really good, the morning glow reflects most of the sky in front of it, the red light irradiates the undulating mountains in front, the ink black and red light reflect each other, and people can't help but sigh: "The rivers and mountains are so beautiful, I am angry when the wind flows!" ”
As the sky grew brighter and the light became clearer, you could see the idyllic cottages on the other side of the hill and the curling smoke of the farmhouses cooking breakfast. There are a few leisurely white clouds floating in the blue sky, a few free birds are flying happily and proudly, the arc-shaped downward sun is like a red moon, revealing the mountain beam, and gradually becomes a half-moon shape, the moon is waning, and then the big round red and red sun hangs between the sky and the mountains, and the whole lofty mountains, deep gorges and ravines, villages and cottages are bright, alive and vivid!
Ye Xiaoshuai walked along the cliff along the stone and crossed the span, jumping and jumping, the speed of the descent was very fast, after a while, he couldn't see the pastoral farmhouse on the opposite side, only to see that at the foot of the mountain was a gorge that could not understand the end, the slopes on both sides were not too steep, the trees were lush, and from time to time there were various birds flying out of the forest, or landing on the treetops, or flying to the sky, cheerful chirping, cheerful flying, free and unrestrained.
It is estimated that there are five or six hundred meters away from the mountain gorge, there is a big stone, from Ye Xiaoshuai's eyes, it is a big oval, and above the stone is a big platform, which looks as big as Ye Xiaoshuai's rice field, that is to say, the area of at least a dozen houses.
Ye Xiaoshuai walked on the platform of the big stone, looking like people often moving here, the table is very smooth, very flat, the right side of the platform is a cliff, although it is not high, but it is also about one or two hundred meters, the left side of the platform is a mountain forest, and there are steps made of artificial stone strips around the big stone, you can come to this platform.
However, Ye Xiaoshuai looked left and right, up and down, from the bottom of the mountain gorge, the road seemed to end at this stone platform, so why did people build this road? Didn't you go up to the top of a cliff? On the right is another cliff, Ye Xiaoshuai is puzzled.
At this moment, a voice sounded from behind: "How long have you been here?" ”
Ye Xiaoshuai was shocked, why did this voice sound so familiar?
Immediately turned around and looked at the person in front of him, about fifty or sixty years old, ruddy complexion, bright eyes, long square face, more than one meter and eight meters tall, not fat or thin, sturdy figure, at first glance is a person who has been exercising for a long time.
Ye Xiaoshuai replied, "Just came." Then he asked, "How do I seem to have heard your old man's voice somewhere?" ”
The man laughed and said, "That's right!" Why did you come here? ”
Ye Xiaoshuai was surprised again: "What? Do you know I'm coming? ”
The old man's face was remorseful: "Oops! That old thing, always said that you are very smart, and that's it! ”
Ye Xiaoshuai immediately came to his senses, "You are the master who gave me a lot of books in Fayun Temple?" Ye Xiaoshuai bowed his head and shouted: "The master is above, the apprentice will meet the master!" ”
The man waved his hand: "Alright! All right! My name is Ye Qizhen, if you are happy, you will call Ye Qizhen, and if you are not happy, call me Lao Ye. Ye Xiaoshuai was shocked again: "What do you mean?" ”
