Chapter 1792: A Mountain Town
When the old man said this, he looked up at the stars in the sky with blinking eyes, and then said: "I once said: The sky hangs like an elephant, and when you see good luck and evil, the saint is like a ......." In the Book of Changes, it is believed that heaven is noble and earth is humble. ”
"And everything in heaven and earth cannot help but be humble and lofty, and everything and everything in heaven and earth must be static at the pole of motion, and must be movable at the pole of silence. There is a certain normalcy and unpredictable between movement and stillness, and there is an inevitable connection between heaven and earth. ”
"Some wise men in ancient times often set up hexagrams to measure good fortune and evil, which can be said to be able to participate in the same heaven and earth, and can achieve immortal status. Hehehe, these are all statements from the past, with very deep philosophies, but they are obscure and difficult to understand, so you don't need to delve into them."
The old man glanced at Wan Lin and Xiaoya when he said this, and laughed when he saw the obsessed appearance of the two, and then said: "Hehehe, Zhou Yi is the most prestigious philosophical work in ancient China, you might as well take a look at it when you have time, there are many mysterious truths in it." I don't know how to set up any hexagrams, but this kind of harmony between heaven and earth is very subtle, and there must be some inevitable connection between all things, and as long as you pay attention, you can observe some warnings from it."
Wan Lin and Xiaoya nodded as if they didn't understand, and they couldn't help but sigh in their minds: Chinese civilization is really broad and profound, not only martial arts and medical skills have many unexplained subtleties, that is, the understanding of nature, but also the unique views of the Chinese nation.
Grandpa laughed when he saw the appearance of the two: "Hehehe, don't think about it, the things of the ancestors are broad and profound, how can we ordinary people ponder and understand them?" As long as we can take a peek or two with our hearts, we can be of great use, and it is enough. Don't think about it, let's go," he said, opening the car door and getting inside.
That night, Wan Lin carefully drove the jeep to a mountain town in a mountain col, and in the hazy night, several people saw the flickering yellow lights in the town from a distance.
Wan Lin slowed down and drove slowly towards the town, lest the sound of his engine break the silence of the town. He drove slowly into the town, looking at the houses on the side of the road with the help of the headlights in front of the car, and on both sides of the narrow streets, there were small bamboo buildings with local characteristics.
The car slowly drove towards the center of the town, and Wan Lin suddenly found that on a small bamboo building not far in front of him, a big red lantern was propped out from the window on the second floor, with the words "hotel" written on it, and several cars were parked on both sides of the street.
Wan Lin's gaze quickly swept over the town, and saw that the town was extremely quiet, with only a few street lamps quietly erected on both sides of the dark streets, and the dim lights shone on the narrow streets paved with bluestone slabs.
On both sides of the street are small two- and three-story bamboo buildings, and on the top of the pointed arched roofs, strings of bamboo chips are dripping down, and the water from the surrounding mountains is flowing down a drainage ditch on the side of the road, "whooshing" along the naturally formed slope towards the mountains below.
Wan Lin glanced around in the car, turned his head to look at his grandfather and asked softly, "There is a small hotel in front, let's stay here for a night, right?" ”
The old man nodded, Wan Lin drove slowly to the front of the small hotel, parked the car behind the two cars in front, pushed the door and jumped down gently. Grandpa and Xiaoya also opened the car door and walked out, and several people stood beside the car, carefully looking at this mountain town deep in the mountains.
A breeze with a hint of coolness was blowing through the streets, and the "ticking" of running water echoed through the silent town. The fresh air after the rain with a little coolness and tiny droplets of water gently blew on the cheeks of the three people, making the three people who were already a little sleepy feel refreshed.
The town is built in a mountain col, surrounded by mountains, and the mountain that has just experienced a torrential rain is faintly revealing a stream that flows down the mountain, reflecting the crystal light of a bead chain under the starlight, as if this silent town is surrounded by countless shining pearls.
The three of them quietly looked at the night scenery of the surrounding mountains for a while, and their eyes showed a look of surprise, not only the mountains are beautiful, but even the night scenery after the rain is unique, which makes people have a feeling of lingering.
Several people immediately turned their eyes to the entrance of the hotel, where several cars of various types were already parked on both sides of the short street, and the dim light was shining through the cracks of the two bamboo gates, and it was very quiet inside. Looking at the location of the surrounding vehicles, some of the people who arrived early not only stayed in this small hotel, but also some may have stayed in the homes of surrounding mountain people.
Xiao Ya whispered: "Those people I saw on the mountain must have lived here", Wan Lin and his grandfather also looked at the cars around them, and smiled and picked up their backpacks and walked towards the door of the hotel.
Wan Lin came to the door and knocked lightly, the door was silent, Wan Lin then gently pushed open the bamboo door of the opposite, the dim light in the house immediately rushed to the face, the side of the first floor was a cash register made of bamboo, a girl who looked thirteen or fourteen years old was lying on the cash register napping, and did not notice the sudden appearance of the guest.
Wan Lin and the others laughed when they saw the girl's appearance, and Xiaoya stepped forward and gently knocked on the table next to the girl's face. The girl raised her head suddenly, looked at the beautiful Xiaoya in front of her with sleepy eyes, and did not make a sound for a long time, as if she had not recovered from her sleep.
Xiao Ya tapped the table lightly again, and asked in a low voice with a smile, "Little sister, is there still a place to stay?" "Yes, yes, yes!" The little girl really woke up at this time, and quickly stood up and replied, with a shy look on her face, she looked at Xiaoya and said with a smile: "Seeing my sister so good-looking, I thought I dreamed that the fairy sister was coming."
Grandpa, Wan Lin and Xiao Ya on the side all laughed and looked at the little girl in front of them intently. The girl is thirteen or fourteen years old, more than one meter and fifty meters tall, thin, and her slightly blackened face is inlaid with a pair of bright big eyes, with an innocent and simple appearance.
Xiaoya looked at the little sister in front of her fondly, and said with a smile: "We are immortals and we also want to stay, right?" ”
The girl smiled and walked out from behind the counter, picked up a bunch of keys on the table and whispered, "Yes, yes, of course I welcome the fairy sister to stay in the hotel." It's so strange these days, usually we have few outsiders here, but I didn't expect that now there is an endless stream of guests, and there are often people who arrive in the middle of the night, all of them are five big and three thick, and they look scary, unlike you, who are so good-looking like fairies and fairies."
The girl raised her eyes as she spoke, and shouted crisply: "Hello old man", the old man nodded fondly: "Hehe, what a happy little girl".
