Chapter 4 - Dreaming of Taixuan
The sun ended, the moon rose, and the moonlight shone on the sunset village.
Mu Feng poured out the ashes and filled them with baskets. He lifted the basket and walked out of the courtyard door, ready to scatter the ashes into a nearby vegetable patch.
"Look, that person isn't Mu Feng. Someone said.
"Mu Feng. A chubby figure walked over in a few steps, it was the little chubby dun who had returned from training in the martial arts arena.
"Isn't this the cowherd Mu Feng. You see, we practice martial arts training every day, and we will protect Sunset Village in the future.
Look at what this Mu Feng is doing, he is either chopping wood or herding cattle all day long, if his hair grows longer, I will think he is a woman. Ha ha. Someone sneered.
"Gangzi, how do you speak. Mo Xiaoyu said dissatisfiedly.
"Mu Feng, Uncle Chi has been training hard these days, and now he will let a few of us go home. I don't even have time to play with you. ”
Xiao Chubby Dun is Zhang Orion's child, and he is a neighbor with Mu Feng, and the relationship is very close.
"What's wrong Xiaoyu? You don't like Mu Feng's little white face, right?" There was a flash of jealousy in Gangzi's eyes, Mo Xiaoyu didn't like to take care of himself, was it because of Mu Feng in front of him?
"Get out of your way, you're in our way?"
The more Ji Gang thought about it, the more angry he became, he walked quickly to Mu Feng's side, deliberately limped his arm, and crashed into Mu Feng's shoulder blade.
Mu Feng had no intention of guarding against people, and Ji Gang did it deliberately.
Ji Gang's impact was so strong that Mu Feng's body stumbled, and he almost fell down after three or four steps back, and the clamp in his hand came out of his hand and smashed to the ground.
Ji Gang saw that Mu Feng was not knocked down, obviously a little dissatisfied, and immediately stretched out his right leg and kicked it violently. The basket carried the ashes of the furnace, dragging the ash flames like meteors towards Mu Feng.
"Get out of the way. Chubby shouted loudly.
"Ji Gang, you're really too much!" Mo Xiaoyujiao snorted, her phoenix eyes were full of anger, she clenched her fist, and was about to make a move on Ji Gang.
With a bang, the basket slammed to the ground, and the ashes were scattered all over the ground.
Mu Feng hurriedly flashed sideways to the side, but he was still unkempt by the splashing ashes.
"Are you going to do something to me?" Xiaoyu," Ji Gang asked.
"Hmph, who told you to bully Mu Feng. Mo Xiaoyu clenched his little fist and said dissatisfiedly.
"Mu Feng, when did you get mixed up and needed a woman to stand up for you? Oh, haha, I forgot, you are also a woman. ”
Ji Gang held his stomach and laughed, as if he had thought of something extremely funny.
Ji Gang was tired of laughing and didn't see Mu Feng answer his words, he walked past Mu Feng, snorted twice, and said, "Mu Feng, Xiaoyu is mine, you don't want to get involved." ”
"Ji Gang, you are too much, I will tell Uncle Chi about this tomorrow, and see if he doesn't clean you up. ”
Mo Xiaoyu looked at Mu Feng's embarrassed appearance, and didn't know what to say for a while.
"Uncle Chi will take us hunting another day, and when the time comes, I will give you a small leg of the prey. Mu Feng, don't you like to eat soft rice? It's okay, then I'll raise you. Haha"
Ji Gang's laughter came, and the person had already walked away.
"You two go too, I'm really fine. ”
Mu Feng bent down, picked up the basket, and said to Little Fat Dun'er and Mo Xiaoyu.
"Mu Feng, Xiaopang and I will go to Uncle Chi tomorrow..."
Without waiting for Mo Xiaoyu to finish speaking, Mu Feng interrupted and said:
"Don't bother Uncle Chi about this little thing. You're tired of practicing martial arts for a day, go home and eat, I'm really fine. ”
"Mu Feng, are you really not here to practice martial arts with us?" Mo Xiaoyu's eyes showed a glint of expectation.
"Yes, how good it is for Mu Feng to come and practice martial arts together. Little Chubby Dun also said.
"I have my problems. A hint of yearning flashed in his eyes, and then dimmed.
"Is Uncle Mu not letting you go? I'll go to him tomorrow to reason. Mo Xiaoyu said.
"I asked my father to persuade Uncle Mu too, the two of them can talk very well, and his words may make Uncle Mu change his mind. Chubby Dun'er said.
"Don't go to my father, I'll take care of this myself. Mu Feng looked at Mo Xiaoyu and Xiao Fatdun's sincere eyes, and there was warmth in his heart.
"Little donkey. Chubby muttered.
"Then let's go, Mu Feng. Mo Xiaoyu sighed lightly.
After watching Mo Xiaoyu and Little Fat Dun leave, Mu Feng looked at the ashes in a daze.
He remembered the third thing that the strange old man did not explain, the first two things were more dangerous than the other, what could this third thing be.
At this time, the moon appeared, and the beams of moonlight fell on the ground. There was a beam of moonlight that happened to be sprinkled on a piece of furnace ash, and faintly, there was a shiny glitter in the ashes.
This scene happened to be seen by Mu Feng, he thought it was the remnant iron that fell into the ashes, bent down, and reached out to touch the flash.
He picked up a piece of iron about the size of an inch, shaped like a flower petal, and shimmered in the moonlight. But on closer inspection, it doesn't look like an iron block, and it feels uneven when you start it, and it glows with blue light, which looks like a piece of bronze.
Mu Feng was curious, there was obviously no bronze in the materials for striking iron, where did this bronze come from.
He gently wiped off the ashes attached to the bronze, and the concave and convex places were revealed, and they were three ancient seals engraved with large characters "Taixuan Jing".
Mu Feng was confused, he stretched out his fingers and continued to wipe the bronze, wanting to see the other parts clearly.
Suddenly, a piercing pain came from Mu Feng's fingers, and the sharpness of the bronze edge cut through his fingers, and Mu Feng grinned and covered his fingers, revealing a look of pain.
However, something happened that made Mu Feng even more puzzled, his hands were empty. The bronze that was obviously in his hand just now disappeared and disappeared.
Mu Feng looked around by the moonlight, but never found the shadow of the bronze. If it weren't for the scar on his stomach, he would have thought he was hallucinating.
After Mu Feng returned home, he lay on the bed with a stomach full of questions, the disappearance of bronze was just a small episode, and he had no time to take care of it now.
His head was haunted by the third thing the strange old man had asked him to do tomorrow, tossing and turning, and he couldn't sleep.
The first thing the strange old man asked him to do was jump off a cliff.
The second thing is to kill the people close to him.
Each of these two events was extremely dangerous, sinister, unreasonable, and almost killed him.
So what is this third thing? It will definitely be more difficult than the first two!
Will I kill him? After all, he said he was near. But is there anyone in the world who would make such a request, or let me continue to kill other people?
Will he take me into the air and throw me down, or will he let me fight the beast and watch the play for fun?
Thinking like this, Mu Feng fell asleep in a daze.
Mu Feng came to a place filled with fog, he looked around in confusion, hazy and mist, and there were only more than ten zhang as far as his eyes could see.
Mu Feng tried to open his mouth wide and shouted loudly, but he couldn't make a sound.
Mu Feng walked and stopped in a daze, as if he had fallen into a maze, and he couldn't see the direction and location at all except fog or fog around him.
Just when Mu Feng was at a loss, suddenly, there was a faint Dao of light shining in the fog ahead. This sudden appearance of brilliance was as eye-catching as a light in the night, guiding Mu Feng towards it.
Mu Feng walked slowly, getting closer and closer to the light source, and he saw that this glittering light exuded a faint green color. After Mu Feng walked in, what caught his eye was the disappeared bronze.
At this time, the small bronze became the size of a zhangxu, and the pestle was in the mist, emitting a faint green light. The three big characters of "Taixuan Sutra" are even more dazzling and brilliant.
Mu Feng raised his eyes and looked, under the three words of "Taixuan Sutra", at this moment, rows of large seal characters were clearly revealed, and he was blessed to the heart, and he couldn't help but read it in his heart.
"The prosperity must decline, and the peeling pole must be restored. Reform the old and the new, or the pole Tailai... The gas returns to the ruin river, and the big one returns to nothing. There is no end to it, and there is a beginning..."
The words on the bronze seemed to have magical power, intimidating Mu Feng. Mu Feng watched it stupidly, reciting it over and over again in his heart.
At this moment, on the back of the bronze, there was a pair of black eyes that kept spinning, the eardrum on its cheeks was one by one, and its body was covered with green bone scales, and it was a lizard-like beast.
The lizard's body was wrapped with silk threads that were woven into a net that imprisoned the lizard inside.
Through the web woven by colored threads, you can see that the tympanic membranes of the lizard imprisoned inside are expanding faster and faster. Its mouth grinned even more to its neck, and its mouth made a "gurgling" sound, which was terrifying.
Its two small black eyes twinkled and shimmered, flashing with a strange light.
"Hurry, hurry. Recite it a hundred times, and you, Uncle Long, will come out. ”
"In the past few days, I have been thrown around as garbage by a few ants, and I am so angry that I will eat them all when I come out. ”
"Bad old man, you bad guy who has no farts for giving birth to children, you have sealed me for countless years, and your Uncle Long is about to see the light of day again. Chatter..."
"When the time comes, I will eat the kid in front of me first, I haven't eaten meat for a long time. ”
The lizard stretched out a long letter that lacked saliva from the left side of its mouth to the right.
"Eighty-five, eighty-six, eighty-seven...."
The corners of the lizard's mouth raised in a large arc, its eyes lit up, and its heart became more and more excited.
It's the colored threads that are trapped on it, falling apart. That cocoon shell is getting thinner and thinner, more and more translucent, and it will crumble at any moment.
The lizard's four paws even stretched out of the colorful silk thread, paddling around as if swimming. It's about to emerge from its cocoon.
At this moment, the sound of recitation stopped abruptly, and Mu Feng, who was sweating profusely, slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, Mu Feng was like falling into the river, his whole body was soaked, and his clothes were tightly attached to his body.
"Your uncle, eighty-nine times, only eleven times. Why don't you stop..."
"Boy, grandpa, ancestor, I beg you, keep reading..."
When Mu Feng's chanting stopped, the colored silk threads kept growing like vines, and suddenly they regained their cocoon shell appearance, firmly enveloping the lizard inside.
At the beginning of the day, the light of the morning light once again sprinkled into the sunset village.
Beams of morning light jumped happily, scrambling into the window lattice, and sprinkled on Mu Feng.
Mu Feng woke up with his eyes open, he opened his mouth and exhaled a turbid breath, moving his limbs, and did not notice the discomfort.
On the contrary, he felt that his whole body was full of strength, especially the power in the dantian was more active, and he seemed to want to break out of his body.
"It seems that this "Taixuan Sutra" is also a kind of cultivation method, which has the effect of strengthening the body. But why did I encounter it in my dream, where was that piece of bronze?" Mu Feng was puzzled.
"The first priority is to go to the old man first, what will be the third thing he tells me to do?"
