Chapter 21 Not admiring immortality

On this day, on the sixteenth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, every household in the village is picking mountain flowers to decorate their own courtyards, preparing for the upcoming "Knife Order" Festival. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Qiang language knife order is the meaning of flowers, every year on May 17, when the mountain flowers are gorgeous, the three villages of Jintong Mountain will be reunited, from the seven or eight-year-old children to the old people with crane hair and childish faces, they must sing "flowers", speak with songs, worship the mountain and worship the gods, and tell each other about their hearts; Young men and women also took the opportunity to show their admiration for each other.

Everyone is busy, adults kill cattle and sheep, grind noodles, catch fish, make some ginger soup powdered fish, sauce beef, beef offal, mutton Huohuo, rice wine steamed buns; Children roam the mountains to pick mountain flowers, such as Nongjili, roses, tulips, hibiscus flowers, wild roses, ...... In addition to decorating the gatehouse, the children also tied garlands on their heads, and everyone was busy.

Du Zhen went down the mountain alone, on the edge of the Tao River, smoking the trunk of a tree with a branch.

"Child, can you understand Chinese?" A man's voice came from behind him. Du Zhen turned around and saw that the man was seven feet tall, ice fetus jade, with bun and bundled hair, wearing a flat-topped square crown, wearing a white Danwen skirt, purple gold embroidered Wenxia veil, a green belt, and white long shoes, it seemed that he was about forty years old, with a beautiful appearance and a long sword on his back.

"What do you call me to do?" Du Zhen replied disappreciatively, still whipping the trunk.

"Looking at what you're wearing, I thought you were a Qiang child. Why are you here alone, as if you have something on your mind? The man asked.

"You can't take care of my business, it's better to ask less." Du Zhen said annoyingly.

The man smiled, and he said, "You are so young, you have a lot of worries?" Haha, you haven't told you why you're bothered, how do you know I can't take care of it? Du Zhen stopped beating, turned to him and said, "My father and mother were killed, but Uncle Yang never told me who the enemy was; I am weak and have read a lot of scriptures, but I only have the method of health preservation, not the technique of strengthening the body, and there is no way to use strength with others; Not to mention avenging my father's mother, even now that I am being bullied by other children, I am powerless to fight back. Can you manage it? ”

The man smiled again: "I didn't expect you to be young, but you are a bunch of troubles." However, do you want to strengthen your body, just to fight vigorously to avenge your father? Du Zhen stiffened his neck and said, "Has your father and mother been killed?" Have you ever been bullied? The man was stunned for a moment and replied, "No." Du Zhen continued: "Then how can you understand my feelings? The man said, "But no." Du Zhen said angrily: "I don't want to talk to you more." ”

"I have the art of strengthening your body, which can make you infinitely strong and as light as a swallow; There are also strong man martial arts, which allow you to enter the army to take the leader of the enemy. The man saw that Du Zhen had a very good character, so he wanted to test him.

When Du Zhen heard this, he exclaimed: "Really? You must not lie to me. The man continued: "But if you learn to take revenge, it will only make you murderous, angry, and uneasy, and you will inevitably end up with a bad disease and a bad death." Would you like to learn? ”

Du Zhen is a child after all, and he is inevitably a little scared when he hears this, he thought for a while and said, "But there are other ways to strengthen my body, and I won't suffer this fate?" The man smiled, "It is a small skill to strengthen the body, and the skill of martial arts and the strength of people are also a small way." I also have a set of ways of immortality, which can not only make you like King Kong, move mountains and seas, but also prolong your life, or ascend to immortals. ”

When Du Zhen heard this, he was not happy, but said in a low voice: "You can teach me this?" The man replied: "Yes, but it's ......" Du Zhen pulled the branch in his hand and said with some disappointment: "I knew you wouldn't teach me easily." ”

The man laughed: "You kid, you are not happy at all when a great good thing falls on your head." I think back then, my master was willing to pass on to me after seven attempts. Du Zhen asked, "How to try you?" ”

The man replied, "This first attempt, I will not retreat from humiliation." When I was apprenticed, my master insulted me every day, and for a hundred days, I never retreated; The second try, don't be tempted by beauty. One day, the master sent me to a hut and tempted me with a beautiful woman, but I was not moved; The third try, when I see that I don't take the money, I'm a cultivator, what's the use of asking for money? This time I also tried; Fourth, I am not afraid to see the tiger, and there is life and death, why should I be afraid? I can't be accused of being falsely accused in the five tests, and I don't talk about the faults of others, how can I do it? I devoted myself to serving the master for more than 30 years, and the master was willing to preach the Dharma. ”

Du Zhen listened, his eyes widened and said, "It's so troublesome." When the man heard this, he replied, "I will make a request to you, and if you agree, I will pass on the way of immortality to you." You must know that there are thousands of murderous martial arts in the world, and the law of immortality is difficult for the world to find. Du Zhen thought for a while and said, "You can tell me about it." The man laughed and said, "You kid is so strange that I begged to teach you." After listening to him, Du Zhen sat on the ground, sighed and said: "Your seven conditions have become one requirement, although the number is less, but I think the difficulty is even greater than your seven tests." But I'll tell you first, I can't wait thirty years. When the man heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then laughed, "Haha, you are very smart, if you learn the Tao, you may be able to become an immortal in less than a hundred years." Du Zhen pouted and said, "Don't talk so far, let's talk about your requirements first." ”

After saying that he was laughing and laughing, the man immediately said: "It's very simple, I just want you to forget the hatred in your heart." When Du Zhen heard this, he waved his hand and said, "I can't do your request." You still teach me killing martial arts, no matter how miserable the end is, I have to avenge my father's mother. ”

When the man heard this, he was a little annoyed and said: "You really don't know how many strong people in the world want to live forever, and how many kings want to die, but you live up to my kindness." Don't teach, don't teach a single one. The man said in his heart how much he had suffered and how tired he had suffered in order to learn the Tao, and now he was sent to the door for nothing, but the people refused, although he was a child in front of him, his face was still embarrassed. In fact, he originally had good intentions and wanted this child to forget his troubles and grow up happily, but now he is being used as a basin of water and splashed on the ground.

Du Zhen was even angrier than him, and said, "Stingy, if you don't teach, you won't teach, and I won't tell you." After he finished speaking, he ran towards the Golden Boy Mountain, and while running, he was angry, and he complained that he had believed the words of a stranger, but he didn't expect that at this time, a bad breath surged up his throat, and he immediately fainted to the ground.

The man was looking at Du Zhen's back and said, "Alas, it's a pity that such a bright child has no heart at all." He was sighing to himself, but seeing Du Zhen fall to the ground on his side, he immediately rushed to the place where Du Zhen fell, picked him up and said, "Child, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Du Zhen was silent, he hurriedly grabbed Du Zhen's wrist pulse to check it, and suddenly exclaimed: "The qi of corpse yin!" He stood up and jumped into the air with Du Zhen in his arms, and the two disappeared out of thin air.

In a cave at the foot of the Golden Boy Mountain, sweat the size of a bean oozed from the man's head. It turned out that he was channeling qi into Du Zhen's body, chasing away the corpse yin qi.

This corpse yin qi was inhaled into his body by Du Zhen when he was a baby from the ghost master Li Honghai. This qi does not hurt people's lives, but it is the yang qi in the hostile body. In the past seven years, Du Zhen has been thin and shorter than his peers, and his appearance and behavior are less and less sunny and martial like boys, but he has a bit of a girl's feminine and delicate spirit. Not only did he lack masculinity, but he also lacked physical strength.

After the three pillars of incense, the man collected his merits and said to himself: "Li Honghai, fortunately, you haven't cultivated to the corpse immortal cultivation, and the old man can still force out your yin qi." It's just that this yin qi has been in this child's body for many years, and it has taken me a lot of effort. He rolled up his wide sleeves and wiped the sweat from his head.

At this moment, Du Zhen slowly woke up, saw the man beside him, and asked, "Where is this?" The man replied, "In the cave." Du Zhen slowly stood up and looked around, he often came to play in this cave, but he also recognized it. I'm going home. Du Zhen obviously didn't know about the man healing him.

The man asked, "Kid, do you recognize Li Honghai?" Du Zhen hadn't heard of it either, and replied, "I don't know." The man asked, "Do you know why you faint?" Du Zhen said lightly: "I've been urinating like this since I was a child, don't worry about it, just wake up." I won't tell you more, it's too late to go back, and Uncle Yang is going to scold me. Then he ran out of the cave and went home.

The man said to himself: "It's too noisy on the Golden Boy Mountain, I'll go to the opposite Jade Girl Peak to hide and clean up first, and then I'll go and ask him Uncle Yang another day." After speaking, he used the method of shrinking the earth again, and arrived at the Jade Maiden Peak in an instant.

Slim Jade Girl Peak, who is the flower arrangement. Don't be a fairy, look at the golden boy across the river. Separated from a Tao River by Jintong Mountain, there is a Jade Girl Peak Mountain in the north, the grass color of this mountain is green, a beautiful color, wild flowers are clustered, there are verses as evidence: the spring grass is new on the edge of the Jade Girl Temple, and the hibiscus flowers are green and even. There are flocks of kingfishers on the mountain, named "fishing baby fish", every sunset time they go to the Tao River at the bottom of the mountain to feed, the formation is very large like an arrow through the starry stream, flying endlessly.

Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a jade fairy in the heavenly palace who rode a heavenly horse down to Minxi, and the jade girl took the heavenly horse to drink water on the edge of the Tao River, and suddenly a mare came, and the heavenly horse actually moved the spring heart to mate with it. The jade girl knew that she had violated the rules of heaven and did not dare to return to the heavenly palace.

She was alone in a cave, feeling very lonely. One day, she went to the Tao River to relax, and suddenly saw a handsome scholar boy enjoying the scenery on the riverbank. The scholar suddenly saw the beauty of the jade girl, and he was stunned and at a loss. The jade girl saw his stupid appearance, and felt very funny, so the two began to talk, it turned out that this scholar was called "Erlang", and Erlang chatted with her until the sun went down before he was reluctant to leave. After Erlang went home, he missed the jade girl all night, so he came to the Tao River every day, just to wait for the jade girl to chat with her.

The two talked about poetry every day, and gradually fell in love, but the jade girl still thought that she would be able to return to the heavenly palace one day, and she didn't dare to accept Erlang's intentions. One day Pegasus brought a mare and a pony back, seeing this warm scene, the jade girl finally realized that immortality is better than having a couple to accompany her, and the two finally became a couple. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and the matter was always known by the Queen Mother, who executed Tianma and sealed the jade girl in the cave, asking her to think about it for a thousand years.

Erlang Fang knew that the jade girl was not a mortal, and it was difficult to give up the pain of separation, and she cried outside the cave all day long. The jade girl advised Erlang to marry another woman and live the life that a mortal should live. Where did the scholar listen to her advice, and still went to the cave every day to accompany the jade girl. In this way, three years later, Erlang became ill with lovesickness, leaving a pair of white bones outside the cave to continue to wait for the jade girl's thousand-year sentence.

At the end of the millennium, the cave was sealed and banned, and the white bones remained. When the jade girl saw Erlang's corpse, her heart was like a knife, hysterical. The Queen Mother came to summon her back to the Heavenly Palace, but the Jade Maiden was determined not to return. She buried Erlang's bones and guarded them in front of the grave all day long, and after another thousand years, the jade girl and Erlang's graves turned into two peaks that were closely connected together. The Queen Mother was furious and used great magic power to separate the two mountains on both sides of the river.

The Jade Girl Peak and the Golden Boy Mountain face each other across the river, and it is difficult to gather forever, which can be called a tragic song of the ages. However, in the past, the heavenly horses and mortal mares were bred from the later Liangzhou horses, and they lost and gained, and they could not be lost, and the way of heaven made it.
