Chapter 3: He has nine ears
One day, a red bird flew in that I had never seen before. The redbird hovered in the air for a while, then rested at my end, and I was about to say hello when she hurried away.
The next day, the redbird came again, with a plant in its beak that I had never seen before.
"Hello, little red bird, what's your name?" Seeing the little red bird flying slowly in front of me, I hurriedly said hello to her.
The redbird glanced back at me, turned around and flew back again, perched on my branches, and replied in her crisp voice, "Hello, my name is Danque." β
"Danque?" I gently fanned the leaf to cool her down, "Danque, what's in your mouth?" I've never seen it. "I'm curious.
"This is Jiusuihe, I want to send it to Shennong, so that he can teach humans to grow crops."
After saying that, the danquek fluttered its wings and flew away, and while she was speaking, a grain fell from the rice and landed not far from me.
I thought that a nine-spike grass plant would grow there soon, but after a long time, there was still no change in the piece where the grain fell.
"Father Kua is here! Father Kua is coming! When the bird reappeared, it chirped like this.
"Who is Kuafu?" Once again, a group of creatures, including me, looked at each other.
"Kuafu is a leader of the Kuafu clan, and he wants to pluck the sun for human use, so he starts chasing the sun." Danque swirled in the air, "Now Father Kua is about to chase here." β
After a while, I felt a violent tremor of the whole land, and the temperature around me rose a lot, so hot!
"Father Kua is here!" After speaking, the danquek perched on me, "It's so hot! I'm going to rest for a while. β
I saw a huge round and fiery red ballβthe sun moving quickly, "Isn't this the result of Pangu's left eye?" Why is it so hot? "I kept fanning the branches on my body, trying to cool it down a bit.
Behind the sun was a huge, muscular man, with a yellow snake hanging from his left and right ears, eyes like brass bells, angry eyes, thick nostrils "whirring" and panting, and hair covering half of his face.
Kuafu was "roasted" by the sun and sweated like rain, and his pace gradually slowed down.
Finally, Kuafu couldn't take it anymore and said in his hoarse voice, "Water, water." β
"Kuafu, there is a Yellow River ahead." Dan Que reminded him.
Kuafu ran over and drank the Yellow River dry.
"Water, water." He was still thirsty.
"Weishui, Weishui is on the left." I said. This Weishui is the largest tributary of the Yellow River, so it should be enough for him to drink.
He drank the Yellow River and Weishui in a row, still in pain, and he ran in the direction of Daze, but died of thirst on the way.
I saw in the distance Kuafu's sturdy body falling, dusty for a while, and the scene was not inferior to Pangu back then. Kuafu's staff turned into a peach forest, and his fallen body became a towering mountain.
The sun slowly sets over the mountain......
"Kuafu's is gone! Kuafu is gone! The sun is gone! The sun is gone! ......" flapped its wings and flew away.
Later, I heard Danque say that Shennong used the eight seals created by Fuxi to calculate and found that the reason for the lack of harvest of grain grains was "Yin and Yang difference", that is, the lack of sunlight obtained by the five grains.
So Shennong, with the help of the gods, rode the five-colored bird to Penglai Island in the East China Sea, rushed back with the sun, and hung the sun on the head of Jiang's city, and the five grains were abundant from then on.
Not long after, the grain in front of me broke through the ground, and gradually grew taller and taller, and finally grew into a stem and nine ears, which was very handsome.
Absorbing the essence of heaven and earth is the daily activity of these plants, and after absorbing to a certain extent, we can enter the immortal path and stay away from the mortal world.
In fact, I have been practicing for more than 40,000 years, enough to enter the path of immortality, but I am still obsessed with this mortal life - spring and autumn, summer cicadas and winter snow, listening to the birds, smelling the fragrance of flowers, watching the clouds roll up, enjoying the flowers blooming and falling, how beautiful and comfortable.
Naturally, I don't have to pay attention to the troubles of the gods - my good friend Zhu Yu (the head of the Nanshan Sutra is called Queshan. Its first is called the swaggering mountain, facing the West Sea, with many laurels and many gold and jade. There is grass, its shape is like a leek and green, its name is called "Zhu Yu", and the food is not hungry. Tell me that after entering the immortal path, you have to manage a lot of things all day long, and you have to strictly abide by the immortal path, and if you are not careful, you will be demoted to the mortal world to re-cultivate, which is very troublesome.
Therefore, I still choose to stay in the mortal world, at ease, carefree, how wonderful.
"Sister Jiusuihe, do you want to stay in the mortal world in the future? Or are you ready to step into the path of immortality? I spoke softly, for fear of alarming her, who had been practicing for thousands of years at this time.
"Senior, I want to become an immortal, isn't this our common goal? By the way, I've always wondered why my predecessors haven't stepped into the path of immortality yet. β
"How so? Although the path of immortality is what every plant and mortal aspires to pursue, I always think that I can do whatever I want when I become an immortal, but in fact, it is not so easy to be an immortal. I have to deal with a lot of things every day, and I can't break the rules of heaven, and I am strictly required to break off my seven emotions and six desires. Therefore, it is too troublesome to be an immortal, and there are too many precepts and rules to follow, so I still want to stay in the mortal world and live happily and comfortably. Jiu Suihe was stunned when he heard this, obviously he still had too little resume.
The relationship with Jiu Suihe is getting better and better, and the title of me has changed from "senior" to "brother" in her mouth. Every day, she concentrated on her cultivation, and I thought about how to make her happy, and every time I heard her crisp laughter, I laughed unconsciously, shaking off a few leaves.
