Chapter Twenty-Eight: Respecting the World of Great Controversy and Respecting the Time of Drinking (Part 2)
The top of Feilong Peak, under the mountain, the green mountains are painted white, and the atmosphere is vast;
On the mountain, the plum forest is like a fairyland.
There is only a house and a pavilion hidden in the plum forest, although it is a settlement in the human realm, but it is better than the immortal dwelling.
Outside the grass house, an old man walked out of the door, holding a wine gourd in his hand, and poured a few sips into his mouth.
Xu is wine is intoxicating, Lao Dao rolled up his sleeves and wiped his mouth, and then looked up to the sky and laughed twice.
Rough laughter echoed in the empty mountain snow and plum forest.
Later, Jiang Xiaobai followed out, but his long eyebrows were slightly twisted, and his expression was thinking about something.
Lao Dao came to the Sifang Pavilion, sat on the stone bench with a buttocks, and didn't care about Jiang Xiaobai, who was still frowning, drank the wine by himself, and then looked at the empty mountain plum forest outside the pavilion, and muttered.
"Why haven't you come back yet, Lao Dao is hungry. β
As soon as the words fell, a crisp and loud crane chirp came from the distant mountains, startling the snow.
After a while, two black dots appeared in Merlin, hovering down, standing outside the pavilion.
The old black couple went out to forage for food and came back!
After flapping twice, the snow on the ground of the fan was thinner, and the wings were retracted, and two pairs of long legs landed upright on the snow, and the old black couple each held a silver carp more than a foot long in their mouths.
The two black-necked cranes opened their mouths, spat out two silver carps, and slammed them to the ground.
The fish was still alive, jumping up and down in the snow, their gills open and closed, and greedily breathing air.
βli.. liβ
After the old black couple put the fish down, they called at Lao Dao twice, and then one of them, striding forward, gently pecked Jiang Xiaobai's clothes with his mouth, looking very intimate.
"This kid is annoying, you two can play!"
Lao Dao saw Jiang Xiaobai's appearance, smiled, and waved his hand to Dahe.
The big crane screamed, and then left, and the other black-necked crane had a few grinding ears and temples, and then flapped its wings, circled and lifted into the air, and flew with wings, looking for a place to be happy.
At this time, Lao Dao knocked on the stone table and interrupted Jiang Xiaobai, who was busy with distress.
"Stinky boy, what is there to worry about, pick up some firewood for Lao Dao, Lao Dao is hungry and wants to eat grilled fish. β
Lao Dao smiled indifferently, his eyes were almost gone.
"Old man, the more I think about it, the more I feel inappropriate, I'm used to living alone, and I haven't thought about accepting any apprentices, and.."
"And what?" said the old god with a leisurely smile.
"And... Besides, it's still a girl!"
Jiang Xiaobai's tone paused, a little hesitant.
"Haha, you kid!"
Hearing this, Lao Dao laughed heartily, and then looked at Jiang Xiaobai, whose face was a little unnatural, with a mocking expression, and said:
"Don't say it, Lao Dao, I just saw that girl, although she was sick, but she looked quite peugeot, otherwise, your kid will marry someone as a daughter-in-law, and become a pair of fairy couples, what kind of apprentice. β
After saying that, the old man's beard was about to smile crookedly.
Jiang Xiaobai was beaten endlessly, and what he said was a little embarrassing, he immediately raised his hand to interrupt, looked at the old man speechlessly, and said:
"Well, the more you talk, the more unpleasant it becomes, take it away, and there is no other way, and the exercises cannot be easily passed on to outsiders. β
After speaking, he sighed dryly.
"Isn't this enough, this is your karma, can you still escape?"
The old man touched his beard with one hand, straightened his color, and then waved his hand.
"Go and help me get some firewood, and clean the fish for me, don't be like a little girl." β
Jiang Xiaobai could only think about anything else, got up, walked out of the pavilion, picked up two silver carp jumping around in the snow, and went to the grass house.
His laziness has become commonplace, and even the old black couple has to find food.
..........
A quarter of an hour later, a fire rose in the pavilion, and green smoke curled up.
Jiang Xiaobai took two bamboo branches, each with a cleaned big fish, and roasted them on the firewood rising from the stove.
Lao Dao was leisurely drinking wine on the side.
"I'll tell you something interesting, old man. β
Jiang Xiaobai suddenly remembered something and said to Lao Dao.
"What's interesting about you?"
Lao Dao didn't turn his head, and while drinking, he touched the guqin on the stone table that had not been moved for a long time.
Jiang Xiaobai told him yesterday's story about the old turtle and the old monk in Tsing Yi, as well as the piano and flute ensemble of "Smoke and Rain in the Wonderful Forest".
"Oh?"
Lao Dao turned his head sideways, and there was a hint of surprise between his eyebrows.
"That old monk has cultivated the eye of heaven?"
Obviously, Lao Dao was most interested in the old monk.
"The master himself said it. β
"Where did he get off the boat?"
"In the lower reaches of Wumu Mountain, it is estimated that the master is doing penance there. β
"It seems that the old monk has also recently broken the innate realm, I can't think of it, I can't think of it. Lao Dao laughed to himself, took another sip of wine, and slurped.
"What do you mean by this, old man?" Jiang Xiaobai flipped over the grilled fish in his hand.
"You met the spirit turtle first, then saw the Taoist monk, and heard the Taoist immortal music, don't you see anything?"
Lao Dao's eyes were bright, and he looked at Jiang Xiaobai with deep meaning.
Jiang Xiaobai's work on his hand stopped for a moment, then shook his head, and said lightly:
"It's none of my business!"
He understood the deep meaning of the old saying, the great world was beginning to appear, the spiritual veins of the major famous mountains were beginning to appear, and there were already many hermits who felt it, and came to the 100,000 mountains to practice in seclusion, competing for the creation of heaven and earth.
But his heart has been established, the snake has a snake path, the rat has a rat path, he cultivates his freedom, and lets him wind in the southeast and northwest.
"Good boy, it seems that your Dao heart has been established, and I don't worry about you anymore. β
Lao Dao listened to his answer, smiled knowingly, and then looked at the wind and snow in the distant mountains, held the wine gourd, and hummed softly.
"Respect the world of great controversy, respect this time of drinking, Hanmei accompanied by wine, pay a smile, it is also the avenue!"
After singing, the old way drank, opened his eyes, and laughed.
The old man talks about juvenile madness, and his indescribable posture is crazy and chic!
On the side, Jiang Xiaobai was silently grilling the fish, with a faint sadness in his eyes.
He really can't bear to be such an old way!
After a few minutes, the fish is grilled.
Lao Dao's wanton chic just now disappeared in front of the grilled fish, and he ate it as soon as he opened his mouth.
There was black residue sticking to his mouth, and he didn't care, it was a big deal to roll up his sleeves and wipe it to his mouth, and it was all right.
Jiang Xiaobai watched him eat from the side, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, at this time, the old man was like an old naughty boy, how to say it, a little "cute"!
Lao Dao was eating, and suddenly remembered something, his greasy hand took out his arms, took out a scripture book with a blue seal and white paper, and threw it to Jiang Xiaobai.
Jiang Xiaobai took the book, looked at Lao Dao in surprise, and swept the traditional black characters on the cover.
"Dream Road Immortality"
On the cover, these four words are written impressively.
"Old man, what is this?"
Jiang Xiaobai was puzzled and didn't understand the origin of this Taoist scripture.
"You'll know when you go back and practice. β
The old Taoist gave such a sentence.
Jiang Xiaobai paused, and didn't continue to ask, since Lao Dao gave him this Taoist scripture, he should have his own meaning.
