Chapter Seventy-Four: Encountering the Chief
CHAPTER XXXIV
There is a line of big characters engraved on the stone wall, which is a sentence in the poem "Chivalrous Travel", but there are many small characters engraved on the side. The words www.biquge.info are naturally traditional Chinese, and the content is also an ancient text that is difficult to understand. Although Ren Shan is also familiar with many ancient books, he also has a lot of difficulty reading them.
Ren Shan read it for a while, and only felt that what those notes said was really very reasonable, but it was just a random note, and I remembered it was also some accidental experience. After Ren Shan was assigned by the old monks of Shaolin, his knowledge in martial arts was not comparable to that of the past, and this confirmed that he only felt that he had a new understanding of the various stunts he had learned. At that time, he only looked at the gestures, not the content, although he knew the reason, but he also did not know much about the way of martial arts, and he couldn't see the meaning of this word at all.
Ren Shan didn't know how long the old monk and the old Taoist priest would sit, so naturally they wouldn't wait stupidly, and there was nothing to do, so he sat down quietly and carefully comprehended the words. The annotations on the stone wall are carved all over the wall, and the first two sentences are about the body method, and the last few sentences are about internal forces. Ren Shan knew that he would not stay on the island for long, so unlike the others who comprehended the stone wall, he continued to look down after seeing a little gain, and did not seek much understanding. But the next few sentences firmly attracted Ren Shanmu. These few sentences are about internal force, that is, "the way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more loss; The way of man, the loss is not enough to give more than enough. The spirit of all things collects kidney water in the water valley and the true element in the void. Therefore, it is not okay to take the strong and the weak, and take the true yuan of people to consolidate the foundation? Xiang Wen Xiaoyao faction Beishen Shengong can be used to stimulate people's internal strength, but the Xiaoyao faction has not appeared in the world for a long time, and it is a pity that it cannot be seen. ”
When Ren Shan saw this, he couldn't help but be a little amused. This method of absorbing people's internal strength has always been regarded as an evil practice by righteous people, but the person who carved this stone carving is his own cheap master, Shaolin disciple Daoqing, who actually yearns for it, it seems that this Daoqing is also a deviant person.
Ren Shan looked behind him again, but there were four verses: "The Buddha is not far away in Lingshan, and Lingshan is only in your heart." Everyone has a Lingshan Tower, so they can repair to the Lingshan Tower. Ren Shan also knew this sentence, but he couldn't figure out what it meant here, but the Tao was written down casually when he was in Zen Buddhism, so he stopped thinking about it and looked back. When Ren Shan finished reading all of this wall, he only felt hungry. He went to the stone room where Miao Di was, and saw that the monk and the Taoist priest were still sitting, and then he felt a little hungry in his stomach, so he retreated to find something to eat.
In the other stone room, the two old men leaned over the stone wall with solemn faces to listen to something, it was the Dragon Island Lord and the Wood Island Master. After listening for a moment, the two straightened up. The wooden island lord said, "Big brother, what did you hear?"
The Dragon Island Lord frowned and said, "The faint vibration is endless, I'm afraid it's not good."
The owner of the wooden island smiled: "It was the earth fire of the year that we found this island. In this way, this fire is not a bad thing for us. ”
The lord of the dragon island also showed his face: "Back then, our brothers wanted to follow the example of the bearded man and go overseas to create a world, but unexpectedly encountered a storm on the way and lost his way. When he was in despair, he saw a pillar of smoke in the distance, and he arrived on this island. There are clear water fruits on the island, so we didn't die at sea. (Note: Some volcanic islands have sooth, dust and magma spewed out all year round, but the other side of the island is basically unaffected and even inhabited.) )
The master of the wooden island said again: "This earth fire will be sprayed once every one or two years, and there is nothing to do for so many years, and the eldest brother doesn't have to worry too much."
The Dragon Island Lord shook his head and said: "This time I always have some apprehension in my heart, before the last time the fire erupted, the ground shook and the roof of the innermost stone room collapsed in half, I don't know what will happen this time."
The Lord of the Wood Island smiled and said, "If this stone cave is really collapsed, we can't stop it, and we want him to do it."
The Dragon Island Lord also smiled when he heard this: "That's right, but I think too much."
Let's say that after Ren Shan left the stone room where Miao Di was, the head of the foolish tea ceremony opened his eyes and sighed lightly: "Old thief, you can't keep pretending, right?"
Monk Miaodi didn't even open his eyes and said: "Pretending or not pretending, only in my heart, how do you know that I am pretending?"
Hearing this, Yucha snorted and said, "Pretend, you continue to pretend."
Miao Di only opened his eyes at this time, shook his head and said, "He is still the head of his martial arts, why is he also hiding from him?"
Yucha pondered for a moment and said: "Listening to what Zhang San said, the position of this kid's head was given to him by Qingxu. Not to mention where his Tai Chi mastery came from, if Qingxu can take a fancy to this child, he shouldn't be a person with bad intentions. But after all, he is Zhang Sanyi's younger brother, and I don't know what he thinks. ”
Miao Di nodded and said: "Qingxu, this kid has some wisdom, although he has been a little nonsense over the years, he is a little resourceful. The things he did, although it was unbelievable, made Zhang San despise Wudang a lot. But my disciples are too persistent. ”
Speaking of this, the two sighed lightly at the same time and stopped talking.
But he said that after Ren Shan filled his stomach, he went to the stone room to detail the stone carvings for a while, and he only felt a little clue, but he didn't know the essentials in the end. He was a man of thought, so he walked out of the cave and onto the beach.
The sky is already dark, and there is only a line of fish belly white on the horizon. But when the moon is in the sky, the smoke and dust spewed out by the volcano on the north side of the island are clearly visible.
Ren Shan naturally knew about volcanoes, and also knew that the volcanoes on some islands in the Taishou Ocean spewed smoke and magma all year round, but the residents of the towns not far away were not affected at all and lived as usual. Ren Shan tried to go to the crater last time he was on the island, but the heat near the crater was overwhelming, and the smoke was too great to get close, so he had to give up.
The cool sea breeze blew, and Ren Shan stretched out comfortably and took a long breath. At this time, I heard a sigh in my ear. Ren Shan was startled, and his true qi immediately filled his body. With Ren Shan's attainments, even when he was unguarded, someone came to his side within dozens of steps and immediately sensed it. It's like this time someone came to the side, but he didn't feel it at all, but it hasn't happened for a long time.
At this time, an old voice came from his ear: "Child, don't panic, it's me." ”
When Ren Shan heard this, he turned his head to look, but it was the foolish tea ceremony chief who was still meditating in the cave, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
Seeing this, the foolish tea ceremony chief smiled and said, "The meditation just now was pretended, and I know it when you go to the cave twice." ”
When Ren Shan heard this, he knew that Yucha must have something to say, so he bent down to brush away the dust on a big stone and said to Yucha: "Seniors, please sit."
Yucha smiled slightly, sat down, and pointed to his side again, "You sit too." ”
After Ren Shan sat down beside him, Yu Cha said: "Qingxu, that kid is messing around, and he actually passed on the head to you, but where did you learn that Taijiquan?" ”
Ren Shan immediately thought that it must be Zhang San and others who had told them all the recent events in the Central Plains after returning to the island. So he was not surprised, and replied: "The head of the junior is just an expedient measure of the head of the Qingxu Dao, and I also ask the seniors to show it, and the juniors will pass the head back." ”
Yucha heard what he said to "pass it back", knowing that he didn't regard himself as a Wudang man, he couldn't help but be displeased: "No matter what the reason is, you are now my Wudang master, how can it be like a child's play, spread around." Then I thought that Ren Shan, the head of the house, was definitely forced into him, and I didn't feel a little embarrassed. Then he slowed down and said: "I'll talk about this later, let's talk about how I learned this Taijiquan first." ”
