Chapter 150: The Altar (I)
couldn't help asking: "Xiao Daotong, since your master can break the peak with a sword, I don't think you are a nameless person, I don't know your master's name?" ”
Xiao Daotong replied softly: "The family teacher hugs Puzi, and everyone in the world calls him Ge Xianweng!" ”
Embrace...... Hug Puzi?
Li Huatang almost fell off the old pine tree with a stumble.
Li Huatang studied philosophy in college, and when it comes to Chinese philosophy, it must be inseparable from Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, so he is well aware of the theory of metaphysics in the Wei and Jin dynasties, and he also knows that from the religious aspect.
At the time of the Wei and Jin dynasties, it was still the Heavenly Master Dao, the Five Dou Mi Dao and other Shinto-worshipping sects that occupied the mainstream position.
The rest, although there are also some schools such as the Shangqing School and the Jindan School, are all like Hoover, in this era, they are not accepted by the wealthy families, and there is no future for development.
But, only, only hugging Puzi Ge Hong, this person, with the immortal Taoism theory of the Jindan faction, has gained a firm foothold in the world of the Heavenly Master's Dao, and has been regarded as an immortal by the eight great scholars of Huiji, and even the four major families in the court, such as Wang, Xie, Huan, and Lu, also saluted him for three points.
It is said that Bao Pu Zi's book "Bao Pu Zi" is completely the pioneer of Dan Dao in later generations!
Li Huatang is so excited!
I can't help myself.
When he first crossed over, he sighed at the beauty of this era, although it was false.
But he was still relieved and excited to be with those famous people in history.
This is the sixth year of Yonghe, the era of the second explosion of ideas in the collision of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, although in the end, due to social reasons, led to the conservative philosophy of the late Greek, but also gave birth to countless romantic figures.
Smelling the rooster dancing, Zu Shiya has been appointed as the general of Fenwei, the history of Yuzhou assassination, led the troops to the northern expedition, won a great victory, and has recovered the south of the Yellow River in a few years, and finally Jin Feng Zhenxi general. It's a pity that Yu Daxing died of grief in the fourth year.
Now it is Huan Wen, who has pacified the Han Dynasty in Shudi, who has served as the assassin of Jingzhou, and has been crowned the general of the expedition to the west, and is preparing to conquer the former Qin.
Xie An was still living in seclusion in Huiji Dongshan at this time, taking prostitutes to the forest every day, taking his children and nephews to talk about literature and mysteries, and Wang Xizhi was still calling friends to swim in the landscape.
Jiangdong's celebrities have wide robes and big sleeves, wear five stones, drive ox carts to play, talk about music theory, talk about magic, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, send love to the landscape, there are all kinds of chic and dissolute, informal words and deeds, compared with the bloody of the Western Jin Dynasty, the war in the last years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it is really a very desirable noble and gorgeous era.
However, what Li Huatang encountered next and everything he discovered made him really know that he was in a low-level family, and he might not be able to contact those romantic characters in his life.
Just like in the 21st century, he can't get in touch with Jack Ma, he can't get in touch with Stephen Hawking, and he can't meet any president and queen......
The beauty of the world, it seems, is only for that specific group of people.
Now, this little Taoist boy told him that the old Taoist priest who had been with him for three days turned out to be one of these merry people.
Hug Puzi Ge Hong!
The pioneer of the Inner Dan Immortal Dao!
How could he not be excited, how could he not be excited, sluggish?
Even characters like Hug Puzi have been met, and there will be opportunities when they meet romantic characters such as Wang Xizhi and Xie An in the future.
He couldn't help but feel alive in his heart, wanting to integrate into that circle and meet the people who stood at the peak of this era.
Li Huatang opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know, can the kid also worship Puzi as a teacher?" ”
Xiao Daotong smiled: "But, wait for three days, when I come back, you can do it, but within these three days, you need to build a wooden house with Qingzhu, if it can't be completed, this matter will be stopped!" ”
"Huh? When you come back? Li Huatang suddenly seemed to have seen a ghost, and he was speechless.
"Yes, even when I return, Xiao Langjun don't be surprised, where I am, there are still things to deal with, and after half a moment, you are asking Qingzhu, he can solve your doubts." After Xiao Daotong said this, he closed his eyes again.
When Xiao Daotong opened his eyes again, it seemed that there were many changes in his whole person.
At least, the aura exuded from his body is no longer the kind of clear and traceless appearance, but has returned to a serious but shy introversion.
In an instant, Li Huatang's mind was full of thoughts, and there were endless suspicions shuttling back and forth in his mind, just now, if he dragged the little Taoist boy away, I am afraid that a flying sword would have broken through the air.
Xiao Daotong smiled slightly, pointed to the half of the pine tree above his head and said: "This tree was planted by the master himself, and it has the effect of nourishing the aura. ”
Li Huatang was slightly stunned for a moment, then frowned and pondered for a moment to sort out all the doubts in his mind before asking: "First, and what I am most puzzled about, Fang Cai, is Mr. Puzi talking to me?" ”
"Yes, it's the tutor who is talking to you!" Xiao Daotong chuckled and spoke, waiting for Li Huatang's next words.
"What's going on? Your master is not here, how did you do it? ”
Xiao Dao Tong gently clasped his hands, bowed to the north, and said: "Master Zun has now pointed to the cultivation of the Xuan realm, and to do such a thing with the cultivation of the Xuan, although Xiao Dao does not understand the truth, he also feels that it is very reasonable. ”
...... "Your explanation is the same as not explaining."
Li Huatang calmed down for a while, and then asked, "Then, your master already knows the situation here, let me build a house with you?" ”
At this moment, he found that his own fear of the flying sword was a little serious, and he originally wanted to ask Xiao Daotong when he started that spell, but after thinking about it, he felt that there was no need to ask again.
"No, no, no, I'm not very clear-headed, so I won't ask yet."
Xiao Daotong smiled shyly, got up, and saluted Li Huatang: "That's fine, then the two of us will build a house first?" ”
Li Huatang also bowed.
Xiao Daotong got up, took off a loose robe, summoned two woodcutters from the ruins, threw one to Li Huatang, and said: "Then let's start, first go to the forest below the mountain to cut wood, and then transport it back, next, site selection, construction, three days, a little urgent, perhaps, this is the test of the master for you." ”
After speaking, Xiao Daotong turned around and walked towards the east, and when he reached the intersection of the trail, he looked back at Li Huatang, who was in a state of dementia, and said, "Xiao Langjun, let's go." ”
Li Huatang hurriedly followed, looking at the steep path, imagining that he might have to carry the wood up tomorrow, and he felt a creep.
The little face was pale, and his legs trembled uncontrollably, but he still chose to go down the path.
Along the way, carrying a woodcutter in one hand and grasping everything that could be grasped by the path in the other, this embarrassed appearance was in stark contrast to the wandering little Taoist boy not far ahead.
A trail that was no more than a mile long, Li Huatang walked for half an hour before groping his way down.
Both hands were extremely sore, and the right hand, which was not holding a knife, was covered with abrasions, and bright red marks covered the back of the hand, the palm and the wrist.
Not far ahead is the forest.
There are groups of miscellaneous wood, which can only be used as firewood, not as wood for building houses.
The little road boy was in front, overcoming thorns and thorns to carve out a path for people to walk on, and little by little approached the place where the Qinggang forest was located.
"There are about three types of timber that can be used to build houses: pine, cypress, and green oak. But pine wood is easy to moth, cypress is too soft, once it has been rained for a long time, it will corrode, so, only Qinggang is the best, but Qinggang is the most difficult to obtain, its wood is exceptionally hard, ordinary people, one day can also take five Qinggang, Xiaolangjun, what do we use to build a house? Xiaodao asked without replying.
Ya, you've told me all the pros and cons, now how do I choose? Isn't it necessary to choose Aoka? Otherwise, about an impression of retreating in the face of difficulties.
"Qingzhu, you make a decision, I don't understand these things." Li Huatang was not stupid, and kicked the ball back directly.
Xiao Daotong shook his head: "This matter is a test for you by the master, therefore, Xiao Dao is just an auxiliary, Xiao Langjun, you are the one in charge, not only the selection of materials needs you to make a decision, but later, you also need to make a decision on the location." ”
Li Huatang looked at Xiao Daotong with a complaining face, and always felt that this time did not seem to have recovered the shy and serious appearance before before, and he was still a cunning old naughty boy.
While the heart is jealous, the mind is also active.
If this is a test, or there is indeed one of the best answers among the three options, but the kind of step-by-step answer, I am afraid that the old Taoist priest will not be surprised.
Case!
Li Huatang cleared his throat and said: "If you choose Qinggang, the house you build will definitely be good, but three days is too urgent, but if you choose the pine and cypress that is relatively easy to obtain, it will make the house unerable." ”
"In that case, it seems that there is no rule that only one type of wood can be used for the construction of a house, right?"
Xiao Daotong's eyes flashed with interest, and he asked, "Then, Xiao Langjun has a better idea?" ”
Li Huatang said confidently: "Cypress trees are not resistant to rain, pine trees are easy to moth, since this is the case, and take Qinggang as the base base, pine trees as rafters, and cypress trees as beams, each avoiding its weakness, so, this house is built, it is by no means a house built by pure Qinggang, and at the same time, it can reduce the time for taking materials!" ”
"Xiao Langjun is really talented, Xiaodao thinks it is feasible, then Xiaodao will go to cut Qinggang, and Xiao Langjun will go to cut down pines and cypresses? Or Xiaolangjun felled Qinggang, and Xiaodao felled pines and cypresses? Xiao Daotong asked with a shy face.
Li Huatang really wanted to jump out of the ***.
You have to give an ambiguous choice for everything, are you annoyed?
However, this little Taoist boy will probably still say that this is the test of the master for you, and it must be up to you to decide.
The wood is hard, but if it is only used as a base, it only needs about one-fifth of the total amount of wood, and the pine and cypress occupy four-fifths of the wood despite being easy to cut!
But the question is, how difficult it is to green oka, and how easy it is to cut down pine and cypress trees, Li Huatang doesn't know.
If you don't know, you can't compare, and if you can't compare, you can't choose the option that is beneficial to you.
It seems that choosing Qinggang can take a big advantage in terms of quantity, but if the time to cut down one Qinggang is enough to cut down four or five pines and cypresses, it seems that there is no difference.
Regardless of that, choose the most advantageous card on the board!
"Then I'll go cut down the green hills." The voice fell. Li Huatang carried a firewood knife and walked towards Qingganglin.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Daotong stopped him and asked with a smile: "Why did Xiao Langjun choose this?" The master explained that no matter how Xiao Langjun chooses, as long as he can give a reasonable reason, he can take advantage of the time of felling and let me teach Xiao Langjun swordsmanship! ”
?
There was only such a big question mark left in Li Huatang's mind, and after this question mark was eliminated, his stomach quickly started to play.
Swordsmanship! Is it that kind of flying sword technique?
My heart is full of worship and longing for that kind of sword killing.
Li Huatang was a little entangled in his heart.
How can we say that we can give a reasonable reason? This confused him.
After all, there is no fixed standard for the word reasonable, that is, whether it is reasonable or not is not up to him, but by Xiao Daotong.
After thinking about it for a long time, he really couldn't come up with an absolutely reasonable reason, Li Huatang simply stiffened his neck and said directly: "Obviously, if it is only used as a base base, the wood required is only about one-fifth of the total amount, no matter how easy it is to cut down the pines and cypresses that occupy four-fifths, it can't be faster than one-fifth, right?" ”
Xiao Daotong was stunned for a while, blinked his eyes, and said, "It seems to make sense." Xiao Langjun, let's go, I'll teach you the basics of swordsmanship. ”
Li Huatang was stunned, a little incredulous, but he still followed as if he had been hit on the head by a five-million lottery ticket.
Xiao Daotong walked to a green gang tree and stood still, held the woodcutter in his right hand, and then said to Li Huatang behind him: "Xiao Langjun, look carefully!" ”
When the words fell, Xiao Daotong carried a woodcutter and slashed it fiercely, with a great voice.
And the woodcutter, which looked a little dull, actually slashed into it, and the whole blade did not enter it.
Xiao Daotong did not continue to speak, but pulled out the woodcutter stuck in the trunk of the Qinggang tree, and without pausing, he slashed it again.
Qi Qi slashed into Fang Cai's knife marks, without the slightest deviation.
Looking at the appearance, you only need to make another cut from the back of the knife mark, and the green oka tree can be cut down, and then, all that remains is to remove the branches and then divide the main trunk, and it is completed.
Sure enough, with the third thud, the thick green oka tree, which lost its support, slowly fell to the front.
In the process of falling, the wood where the trunk is connected slowly pulls out a stabbing sound.
Li Huatang was dumbfounded, this is too easy.
At the level of Xiaodao Tong, wouldn't it be a knife to cut down the pines and cypresses that are easier to cut down? It is estimated that it will be completed in an hour.
After Xiao Daotong cut the branches and knots of the green oka tree he cut down in three or two times, and tried to have a beginning and an end, he looked back at Li Huatang and asked lightly: "Xiao Langjun, can you see it?" ”
Li Huatang looked confused, didn't you just see you cut down a tree? Got it? See what?
Xiao Daotong looked at Li Huatang helplessly, a little dissatisfied in his heart, it is said that the master accepts apprentices
