[001] Mutation
There is a small island called Qixing in the sea near Ludong, as the name suggests, the island is very long and narrow, with obvious seven forks, which seems to be divided, but it is tightly connected.
In the north of the island is a cliff called picking stars, stretching for dozens of miles, surrounded by white clouds on weekdays, there are dense mountain forests, flowing waterfalls and strange stones, apes go back and forth in the meantime, people on the island will go to the mountains to hunt a long time ago, but a strange thing happened from seven or eight years ago, when someone tries to climb to the peak to hunt, always arrive at the position of the platform that can be used for rest in the middle of the mountain, and then do not know the north and south. Occasionally, wild objects such as pheasants and sika deer were picked up on the platform, and since then the islanders have been rumored to have gods living on the cliffs.
Most of the people on the island make a living from fishing on weekdays, and after a tiring day, because there is nothing to entertain, they climb into bed early at night. At this time, in the slightly dark night, an emaciated figure was climbing on the Star Picking Cliff. Maybe it was because he was careless when he was crawling, and the palm of his left hand was cut, and although he held it down from time to time, blood still dripped down. The young man scolded while crawling into his mouth: "This old guy hasn't given me anything good to eat for almost half a month, and if you don't give it to me again, the master won't serve me anymore!" ”
Although he cursed in his mouth, his hands and feet did not stop for a moment, and when he reached the middle of the mountain, he saw him standing and holding his footsteps, taking three steps forward, taking one step back, and then taking two steps to the left, and then moving forward according to the pace of three retreats and one step, and after reaching the edge of the cliff, he tightened his trouser waist, spat on his left and right hands, and struggled to climb up.
The boy's name was Shen You, and the people on the island told him that he had been fished up from the sea with a plank. The fisherman who found him was called Niu Ba, short stature, long and black and fat, and had no daughter-in-law, Niu Ba was very surprised when he found him, after all, he would encounter accidents from time to time when he went out to sea, and a child was tied to the plank, and he was unharmed, Niu Ba on the one hand because he had no heirs, on the other hand, he felt that the child was blessed, so he took him in. And according to the nameplate tied with a red rope around his neck, he was named Shen You.
It's just that when Shen You was nine years old, Niu Ba never came back during a trip to sea, and from that time, the teenager began his career of eating hundreds of meals, and it was also that year that Shen You heard that there was something delicious on the Star Picking Cliff, and after climbing up, he would become a god, and he would eat whatever he wanted. Believing this, he spent nearly a day climbing to the platform halfway up the mountain, when it was already dark, and he could see the edge of the cliff on it, but he could not walk there.
Just as he was crying, he suddenly met an old man covered in tatters. The sloppy old man stared at him carefully, and that kind of look made Shen You forget to cry for a while. At last the sloppy old man brought him to the top of the cliff as if he had seen a treasure, and that day he ate a chicken leg, and the sloppy old man told him, "If you come up every other day, you will be able to eat meat." ”
At that time, he just wanted to be hungry, so he naturally followed the orders of the sloppy old man. As he grew older, he slowly took this as a habit, and he would come up every other day, and naturally the old man would also teach him some miscellaneous things, including literacy and literacy, Zama step, Kanyu physiognomy, breathing, and chess......
Although the young man is stubborn and playful, but after all, he is talented, and after a few years, he can barely learn some styles, and occasionally he will be praised by sloppy old people, and a chicken leg or a large piece of meat is a possible compliment.
With the increase of practice time with the old man, the boy felt that he was climbing the mountain more and more easily, and this time after coming to the top of the mountain, it actually took a little more than a quarter of an hour, the young man's mind will not think too much, naturally think that he is older, the reason for the growth of strength.
Extremely incongruous with the lush woods was an unusually dilapidated wooden house, the young man grimaced, and then respectfully came to the hut, and said softly: "Master, I am here......"
After saying it three times in a row, I found that no one responded, "Aren't you there?" With a little surprise, Shen You gently pushed open the door and walked in.
The hut was still in disarray, with a door panel of unknown age slamming on the floor, covered with straw. It's just that in stark contrast to it is the other side, I saw a portrait hanging on it, I heard the master say that this person is called Xia Yu, and the first thing when he comes up every day and the last thing when he leaves is to kowtow to him. Only at this moment, unlike the master's piety, the young man was concerned about the few plates he visited in the open space under the portrait, and there were snow-white steamed buns with fruits that made him salivate.
The last few times he came up, the sloppy old man was not here, and there were only some wild fruits left in the house, and every time he came to eat, he began to practice according to the technique of vomiting taught by the old man before. After the exercise, go down the mountain. After eating the wild fruit last time, the boy finally looked at the plate that was offered in front of the portrait.
Seeing the snow-white steamed buns on the plate, the young man couldn't help but purse his lips, and his eyes were filled with a different kind of burning. Once this idea was born, it naturally sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and my hand couldn't help but stretch out.
Many things are difficult to think about, but it becomes much easier in an instant after really taking the first step, and when the boy got the steamed bun, he no longer had the previous hesitation, and suddenly stuffed it into his mouth. The sweetness produced by the soft mixture of saliva gave him a different kind of enjoyment all of a sudden.
After a while, a steamed bun had been swallowed, and there was no hesitation when he stretched out his hand to the second one, and it seemed that there was still some smooth progress. When he took it, he didn't notice that the blood dripping from his left hand suddenly dripped on the somewhat gray scroll of the portrait, and the gray scroll was moistened by the blood, as if it were melting the veins, and some veins thinner than hair rushed to the portrait at once.
Before he got the second steamed bun, Shen You suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when he looked up, he saw that the eyes of the person on the portrait suddenly lit up, Shen You was frightened enough, and hurriedly put down the hand stretched out to the steamed bun, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and stared at the portrait.
I saw that the eyes of the person in the portrait were really bright and dark, as if they were open and closed, and at that moment, Shen You was suddenly frightened. Even though he is bold by nature, he has never encountered such a strange thing. Immediately, his legs weakened and he knelt down.
The young man kneeling on the ground kowtowed and said, "Grandpa, the disciple doesn't dare anymore, the disciple doesn't know what to do...... I won't dare to ...... again."
In this way, he kowtowed to the portrait like garlic without saying a word, but he did not realize that the light on the portrait was getting stronger and stronger.
When Shen You looked up again, he suddenly felt that the portrait in front of him was covered with a golden light, which was so soft, but so dazzling, soft as amniotic fluid wrapped in a baby, and dazzling like a sharp awl when holding the sole of a shoe.
Before he could react, he saw that the golden light had condensed into a bundle, and this beam of light like needles, threads, and ropes penetrated into the center of his eyebrows in an instant, and the young man suddenly felt that his mind was about to split, like countless small needles crashing into it, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore, and he screamed and passed out.
In the drowsiness, Shen You seemed to feel that one picture after another appeared in his mind, and some different people flashed in his picture one by one, among which there were towering monarchs, there were walkers who traveled the world, there were courtiers in the court, there were scholars who laughed and scolded, and there were men who gathered in the mountains and forests, they were either majestic, or persistent, or resolute, or uninhibited, or domineering, but there is one thing that has never changed, that is, when thinking of the people, the part in the heart, piety!
In this way, different pictures switched back and forth, and at the end of the day, finally like a torn curtain, a pair of golden animal skin rolls suddenly appeared, and four golden characters flashed very abruptly on the animal skin rolls - "Thousand Doors Canon"!
Those four words are so dazzling that people dare not force them to look.
And at this moment, a dark sentence suddenly appeared: "People have no claws of tigers and wolves, nor do they have the strength of lions and elephants, but they can bind tigers and wolves, drive lions and elephants, without it, only wisdom!" ”
After this passage appeared, for a while, countless pitch-black fonts were like moths to a fire, one after another, without hesitation. Towards Shen You's mind. I saw that Shen You, who had passed out, stretched out his legs, and the illusion in his mind was gone, as if he was completely dead.
