Chapter 60: The Storm is Coming
......The gaze of the man in white looked into the distance, and seemed to penetrate the mountains along the coast to the majestic ancient city. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"yes, yes, what's interesting?" The black-faced man threw the flask back on top of the green leaves and asked with great interest.
"It's not interesting, it's just ordinary people, ordinary things." The man in white shook his head and summed it up simply: "Chaoge, it's quite an ordinary place. ”
"Yes......" When the black-faced man heard this, he couldn't help but muttered in disappointment: "I haven't been to Chaoge yet, and I suddenly lost all interest when I heard you say this." ”
The man in white paused and added, "There are some powerful breaths, but they are all dormant and not interesting." ”
"That's nature." The black-faced man said as a matter of course: "Chaoge is a thousand-year-old capital, and it is normal to have strong people, but Chaoge is also the capital of the Great Shang, in front of Yin Xinmen, it is the dragon that has to be coiled, and the tiger has to lie down." Who dares to jump out and swagger? ”
The man in white shook his head and said, "Yin Xin can't hold it down for long, if today, it seems that singing and dancing are leveling, but in fact, there is an undercurrent. Temples, universities, families, Taoist systems, one by one, all have their own calculations, just waiting for an opportunity. ”
"Undercurrents?" The black-faced man frowned and wondered, "Why didn't I see it?" The world has been peaceful for so many years, and I don't think anything has changed at all. ”
The man in white curled the corners of his mouth, stretched out his hand to point to the small yellow clay stove at the petiole, and asked the black-faced man, "Look at the purple clay pot on that stove." ”
The black-faced man looked at him with a puzzled expression: "By the way, I wanted to ask just now, why is this fire booming, but I can't see the water in the pot boiling?" ”
The man in white smiled lightly: "Look carefully." ”
When the black-faced man heard this, he poked out his divine sense, swept it violently, and then showed surprise on his face: "This pot is ...... Nothing? He turned his gaze to the man in white again, and asked with a strange expression, "Since you don't cook anything, why do you light the stove and put a pot on it?" ”
The man in white did not answer, and continued: "If you don't see the water boiling, it doesn't mean that the pot is not hot, and it doesn't mean that there is no fire in the furnace. Actually, it's just that there's no water in the pot. ”
The man in white stretched out his hand, and the lid of the purple clay pot automatically opened, suspended in the air, and then, a stream of water jumped out of the river and sank into the pot.
Just listen to the sound of "swish", the mist of water rises from the pot, steaming up, the heat wave and the smell of boiling river water spread, and is blown away by the cool night breeze in an instant.
The man in white looked at everything in front of him with interest, withdrew his sense, and the lid of the pot fell back with a "dang bang". He said slowly: "The intricate forces of all parties, you and I will burn the furnace to pure green, and this world is like a purple clay pot on the stove, which is already hot." ”
His gaze turned to the black-faced man: "You can't see how hot the world is, it's just because there's a scoop of water missing." ”
"Did you know I was coming, and what I was going to ask?" The black-faced man was suspicious in his heart: "Why are you even ready with props?" ”
"You're really paranoid," the man in white shook his head and sighed, "I'm just giving a random example, and this example is not very accurate." Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if I really knew that you would come, and I knew what you were going to ask, I wouldn't have prepared any props for you. ”
The black-faced man asked, "Then why do you put a pot here that doesn't boil?" ”
"It's not that it's not cooked, it's not cooked yet, I'm going to taste some warm hot wine at the end, who knows that you came and drank the rest of the wine, what else do I use this pot for?" Do you want to boil some river water to drink? The man in white asked dissatisfiedly.
"Hey, hey." The black-faced man remembered that he had indeed drunk other people's wine uninvited, and he couldn't help laughing dryly, but with his thick skin, he soon didn't care.
Then, he sank his face, frowned and said, "I don't understand, these people are living a peaceful life, why are they looking forward to chaos?" ”
"Interests." The man in white sneered and spit out two words, and then said: "The temple wants to fight for power, the university wants to fight for fame, the family wants to fight for resources, and the Taoist system wants to fight for the number of qi, but the world is so big, there are so many things, everyone wants to keep what they have, get more, how can they come without grabbing?" How to grab it if you don't mess around? ”
The black-faced man sighed: "You humans are really ......" He said halfway, but he didn't know how to describe it.
The man in white smiled: "Why do you need to talk about us, aren't you also fighting for territory and food?" It's just that human beings are looking for more things. ”
The black-faced man thought about it and felt that he couldn't refute it, so he muttered twice, and then said: "Although I am used to living a peaceful life, if the situation has to be chaotic at this time, I am not afraid of anyone." ”
"The things that the world is fighting about, naturally have nothing to do with us, but the dispute over the Taoist system is about the number of qi, and if you are not careful, you will make a mistake, and you will end up with a dead end." The man in white said lightly.
"Death?" The black-faced man laughed loudly, and the laughter echoed between the mountains on both sides. After a while, he restrained his smile and said with a resolute expression: "We are monks, cultivating with the sky, going against the sky, since we are fighting with the sky, why are we afraid of death?" ”
"That's a good point." The man in white applauded and admired, and then, a narrow smile appeared on his face: "But if you fight for the explanation, you and I will teach each other, and meeting will be a death match, and you will never have a chance to come to me for wine again." ”
"What?" The black-faced man's expression was shocked, and the color of fortitude had long disappeared, and he exclaimed, "How did I forget that there is still this stubble?" It's not good......"
The look on the face of the black-faced man was like singing, changing again and again, and he was extremely entangled.
Seeing this, the man in white couldn't help but sneer, and said, "It's just that you don't have a little wine to drink, and you are like this, and you dare to say something unashamedly to go against the sky and fight for your life with the sky." ”
The black-faced man snorted coldly, and said with a stalk around his neck: "The way of heaven is so rebellious, and it is difficult to control your own desires." I am not afraid of death, but if I lose my wine, it is absolutely impossible. ”
The man in white knew that he was addicted to alcohol, and he no longer entangled with him, and sighed: "The change of dynasties, the rise and fall of the Taoist system, will happen after all, these are okay, but there is one thing......"
Speaking of this, he paused, and for the first time a solemn look appeared on his face.
"What? What could make you so serious? Seeing this, the black-faced man couldn't help but be very interested.
"Nothing." The man in white shook his head, turned to look at the brilliant night sky of Xinghan, and muttered to himself:
"The storm is coming."
