Chapter 148: The Hermit in the Mountains
Zhu Kexin's heart moved when he heard this, and said, "Little brother, your master not only cultivates the Tao, but also knows martial arts?"
The child said proudly, "Of course my master knows martial arts, this flower of mine back then, originally in a distant mountain, was brought by my master's subdued three or two times. ”
Zhu Kexin smiled: "Really?"
The child said: "At that time, Ah Hua was very stubborn, after being knocked down by my master for the first time, she got up and pounced on the master viciously, and I didn't see how my master behaved, so I pointed at a point under its abdomen, Ah Hua immediately turned over and fell down, screaming in pain. I couldn't bear it when I saw it, so I begged Master to let it go.
As soon as the master released him, it pounced on the master again, and the master slapped it down with one palm and pointed at it again. This time, Ah Hua was in even more pain, and she couldn't scream after only two screams, foaming at the mouth, rolling all over the ground, and I begged repeatedly before I let it go again. This time, Ah Hua was very obedient, no longer pounced on the master, turned around and ran.
My master reached out and grabbed its tail, pulled it back upside down, whispered something to Ah Hua, and gestured again. I saw Ah Hua turn around and come to me, lie down on her forelimbs, nod her head, as if thanking me for saving my life, and then followed us to this mountain. ”
When Zhu Kexin was a child, he heard his father say that birds have bird words, and beasts have animal language, and some people can understand and communicate with them, saying: "Little brother, your master is very powerful, not only subduing your Ah Hua, but also being able to talk to it." ”
The child was even happier when he heard her praise for his master, leaned on her side and said, "Of course it is, my master is not only powerful in martial arts, but also knows everything in the world?"
Zhu Kexin didn't believe it: "Which schools of knowledge? ”
The child said: "I usually hear him talk about these kinds: first, the study of mathematics and physics, what the sun, the stars, the latitude, the past and the future, the life and death of people, everything is true." Second, the study of soldiers, can march and arrange formations, ghosts and gods are unpredictable, three slight and six tao, infinite changes. Third, the study of geographical travelogues, the mountains and rivers in the world, and the famous places and scenery are all in my heart. Fourth, the study of cultivating the truth in the birth, taking food guidance, cultivating the truth, but the illness is prolonged, and the rush to soar is just around the corner. In addition, Shangtong chess, qin, calligraphy and painting, Qimen gossip and so on. The art in his heart is as vast as a sea of smoke, and it is all-encompassing. ”
Zhu Kexin looked at him with reverence and said, "Little brother, I don't understand what you said, I think you know a lot, can you tell me about it?"
The child's face flushed and said with a smile: "Sister, I won't tell you, I only heard what Master said, but I haven't learned it." Because I don't like it, and I don't want to bother to learn, that..."
Zhu Kexin looked at his squirming appearance and teased: "So that, you won't be either." ”
The child laughed.
Zhu Kexin said: "Your master is so powerful, won't you take me in to meet you?"
The child patted his head and said, "Yes, I came to talk to you and forgot to ask you to go in and rest." My master and his old man went out of the valley to collect medicine, my sister please. He took her hand, drank Ah Hua, and walked towards the cave.
Soon, when he came to a cave, he saw three words engraved on the hole, the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, vigorous and powerful, but Zhu Kexin didn't recognize it, but guessed that it must be the three characters of Feiyun Cave, and asked: "This three words of Feiyun Cave were engraved by your master?"
The child nodded and said, "My sister is very knowledgeable, these words are the big seal carved by the master, but I don't recognize it, the master told me, I only knew." Zhu Kexin secretly screamed ashamed and followed into the cave.
She thought that the Lord of Feiyun Cave was full of knowledge, and there must be a scene in the cave, but she knew that she could enter the cave, but she saw that it was simple and abnormal. Two stone chairs, a stone table, with black and white chess pieces on the table, two gardens on the ground, a piano hanging on the wall, and three stone statues in the middle of the back wall.
Zhu Kexin looked at it and said, "You have been living in this cave?"
The child said, "Yes, sister, isn't it good?"
Zhu Kexin said: "You have never gone down the mountain to the market?"
The child said, "I haven't been there." I heard from the master that there are a lot of people and things there, which disturbs people's minds and minds, and it is inconvenient to cultivate. ”
Zhu Kexin knew that he had lived in seclusion in the mountains with his master since he was a child, and he couldn't understand anything in the world, so he sat down on a stone chair. The child handed her two mountain fruits and said, "Sister, I don't have anything to eat, you can taste this fruit." ”
Zhu Kexin saw that the two mountain fruits were round and smooth, the color was golden, but the top was purple and red, thanked him, and took them and ate them. It is sweet and delicious, with a faint aroma.
Zhu Kexin asked while eating, "Little brother, what are you doing in the cave?"
The child said, "I mostly meditate in the cave and meditate with a clear mind. ”
Zhu Kexin said: "You are cultivating internal strength." ”
The child said: "Internal strength, what is internal strength?"
Zhu Kexin said: "It turns out that you don't know. ”
The child said, "I don't know, I just feel that there is a lump of qi in my belly, which was very small at first, and then it became bigger and bigger, but the master said that I am a cultivator." ”
Zhu Kexin nodded, this kid is practicing a kind of internal strength with his master, and he is already quite popular, but his master didn't tell him, and he didn't say anything, and said: "It seems that you are just cultivating the Tao, and the internal strength is used by people in the martial arts to fight and kill." Then he pointed to the three stone statues on the back wall and said, "Little brother, those three stone statues are really exquisite, who are they?
The child stood up, blocked her fingers and said, "Sister, put away your fingers quickly, don't be rude to them." ”
Zhu Kexin put down his hand and said, "I'm sorry, is he your senior?"
The child said, "Sister, don't you even know the three of them? They are the three ancestors of our Taoism, Yuqing, Shangqing, and Taiqing." ”
Zhu Kexin said: "They are the ancestors of your Taoism? I don't cultivate the Tao, I don't know." ”
The child said: "This is Yuqing Yuan Shi Tianzun, the highest status, this is Shangqing Lingbao Daojun, and this is Taiqing Taishang Laojun." ”
Zhu Kexin said: "This is Taishang Laojun? I have heard of him, it turns out that he is like this, and he is still the ancestor of your Taoism." As he spoke, he stood in front of the stone statue and watched it carefully, but when he saw the three stone statues vivid, he was very impressed by the craftsmanship of the child master.
There are still two lines of words engraved on the cave walls on both sides of the stone statue, this time it is regular script, but I still recognize it, and the left side says: "Nine turns of the elixir number of the day gold, the fairy scripture is deep and profound." On the right, he said: "To recognize the true medicine in the body, you must achieve nothing through yin and yang." There are also small words below: "The medicine yuan has no medicine, the Ding Ding Yuan has no Ding, it is made of the complex four images, and it is made for the complex five elements." ”
Zhu Kexin was puzzled and asked, "Little brother, what do these words mean?"
The child said: "It's a mantra of our Taoist cultivation, I don't know, the master didn't tell me." ”
Zhu Kexin didn't ask anymore, sat for a while and said, "When will your master come back?" The child said: "I don't know when, he went out sometimes for a day, sometimes for many days, saying that he was picking some medicine." ”
Zhu Kexin said: "Your master has also learned the science of medicine and medical science?"
The child waved his hand again and again and said, "Don't mention it, he often mashes the yam he picks up into foam, and gives it to me to eat, sometimes bitter, sometimes sweet, and says that it is good for my cultivation, it is really unpalatable." ”
