Chapter 41: The Beginning of Heaven (1)
"Senior sister, what's in this mountain?"
"I don't know, just go up and see. ”
"Senior brother, what's in this mountain?"
"I don't know, just go up and see. ”
"Master, what's in this mountain?"
"Little Xuanzi, you ask your senior sister and senior brother. ”
"Senior sister..."
......
"Senior brother..."
......
"Master..."
"Little Xuanzi, you ask your senior sister and brother, for the elder teacher, my memory is not good, and I can't remember everything. An old man with a long beard and long hair was hunched on his back, panting, and slowly explaining something to his youngest apprentice.
The old man had white hair, a bun wrapped around his head very casually, and two headbands of unknown material floating. Dressed in plain linen clothes, ordinary but surprisingly clean, only slightly old and wrinkled.
With a pair of straw sandals on his feet and a broken stick in his hand, he walked towards the mountain step by step, looking very difficult with each step, and stopped from time to time, wiped his forehead with his sleeve, and then opened his mouth to say a few words to his youngest apprentice.
The old man was followed by two men and one woman, one was a young woman, and the other was a talking teenager and another steady middle-aged man.
Although the old man was dressed plainly and simply, the three people behind him were dressed brightly, which was in stark contrast to the old man in front.
The three people behind him walked briskly and flowed. It is obvious that such a mountain road is not a little challenging for them.
The three of them were all apprentices of the old man who led the way in front, and when they saw the master walking out of breath, sometimes without much breath, they were all indifferent, and occasionally showed a look of disdain.
The old man was followed by the female disciple, she was dressed in white, the clothes did not know what kind of divine object, overflowing with wisps of fairy energy, as if a layer of light veil draped around the woman's body, looking noble and compelling, without gorgeous decoration, but shocking, like a fairy out of the painting.
One lowered eyebrows, one chin head, there is an ethereal fairy rhyme. Although she has the unique gentleness and elegance of her daughter's family, she reveals a trace of the quiet tranquility of the years, but her occasional resolute gaze also reveals her heroic spirit that can withstand the cold wind and snow.
She is the eldest disciple of the old man, and she is always full of gratitude and helplessness to the old man in front of her, but she is very patient.
The little junior brother in the back asked her over and over again what was in the mountain, and she also patiently replied over and over again that she didn't know.
She is very patient with many things and impatient with many things.
The woman was followed by the middle-aged man, who had a square face with sword eyebrows, his face engraved with traces left by the wind and frost, and a less obvious scar entrenched on his forehead.
This middle-aged man was dressed in a bright yellow nine-dragon robe, with a tattooed dragon on his feet, just like the dress of an emperor in the world.
This middle-aged man is the second disciple of the old man, and since he followed the old man up the mountain, except for answering the little junior brother behind him who didn't know, he didn't say anything else, just as silent as this mountain.
Behind the middle-aged man was the young man, with a delicate face, fluttering black hair, and a sword suit, which made him look even more handsome and heroic.
The young man was carrying a sword behind him, the hilt was a real dragon purple wood, but the scabbard was carved from a white and translucent dragon blood divine stone, as for what the sword body was, no one knew.
Along the way, the boy's curiosity has always driven him, and his voice has never been cut off, but it is just three sentences back and forth.
The young man is the old man's little apprentice Tianxuanzi, that is, the ancestor of Tianxuanzong, and his master is the old man who leads the way in front.
On a whim, the old man summoned his three favorite apprentices and asked them to follow him to explore a nameless mountain, and the old man in the mountain did not explain anything, but said that there was something interesting there.
After more than ten days of trekking, the four masters and apprentices finally found a trail up the mountain at the foot of the mountain.
Tianxuanzi was really curious about what was in the mountain, so he asked the old man, "Master, what is in the mountain?"
The old man replied, "You ask your senior sister and senior brother. ”
So Tian Xuanzi asked his senior sister and brother again, and then his senior sister and brother patiently replied that he didn't know.
More than ten days have passed, and Tianxuanzi still hasn't given up asking about the secrets of the mountain, and still persistently polishes the patience of the three people in front of him.
However, Senior Sister has patience for many things, and he is one of them.
The senior brother has patience for everything, and only the master will always be unable to bear loneliness.
So Tianxuanzi no longer asked his senior sister and brother, but just chased after the master and asked, "Master, what is in the mountains?"
The old man stopped the steps he was about to take, bent down, held the wooden stick in one hand, and held his knee in the other to support his aging body, and then turned around, which was also the first time that the old man turned around in more than a month.
He looked at his three apprentices and smiled, satisfied with their performance in the past month.
So he decided to say a few more words to his little apprentice: "Little Xuanzi, do you know why the teacher didn't let you fly up directly?"
"I don't know..."Tian Xuanzi answered his master's question with righteous words.
The woman and the middle-aged man were also slightly interested, and the master finally agreed to say why he brought them to the mountains.
In fact, along the way, they were also very puzzled why the master brought them here, why the master didn't let them go through the sky, and why the master always walked up the mountain without looking back......
Although there were 100,000 whys, the woman and the middle-aged man never asked.
"I don't know, you've been gone for so long, and you still don't know?" said the old man to the three apprentices.
"Huh?"
"You little rabbit cub, don't you use it to walk? I don't see how the teacher led the road in front, my old arms and legs are about to break, you little rabbit cub don't use it to walk!" The old man screamed angrily, and then continued: "Needless to say, you two don't need to walk?"
"Master..."The woman and the middle-aged man looked at each other and called out helplessly.
All along, the old man has always been an old naughty boy in their understanding, always like to play tricks on people.
Therefore, a few people didn't pay much attention to the old man's performance on the mountain, thinking that the old man was pretending, so they didn't pay much attention to it.
When the old man saw them, he looked around, found a stone that was out of the ground, sat cross-legged, and leaned his stick against the stone at will.
The three disciples saw the master's posture, as if they were about to preach the Dharma, so they saluted the old man with both hands, and said in unison: "Please give the master the Dharma." ”
The old man saw the solemn appearance of the three disciples, and felt that his goal had been achieved, so he said to his three favorite apprentices with a smile on his face: "Give the Fa, what kind of Fa to give? I am just tired of walking, old man, find a place to rest." You three have no filial piety, you want to exhaust the old man. ”
"Master..."Tianxuan shouted angrily at the old man, "What is in this mountain?"
"Little Xuanzi, you come and pinch the master's shoulder, and the master will tell you. ”
"Master, let's come with me, junior brother, he is born. The woman in white naturally walked behind the old man, put her hands on the old man's shoulders, and began to knead them, very self-heating, and her movements were also very skillful, revealing that she had done such things many times.
The middle-aged man and Tianxuanzi looked at the master who was enjoying himself with his eyes closed at this time, but they didn't dare to disturb him.
"I thought that the wine had to be drunk one bite at a time, and the road had to be taken step by step. Do you say yes, you drink like this, can you know what it tastes like?" the old man said suddenly, closing his eyes.
The three disciples, you look at me, I look at you, with a blank face, and my mouth is curled inexplicably, and the master is talking nonsense again.
