Chapter 65: Molting
Flowers bloom all over the branches, red, pink, yellow, purple, all over the mountains, and the fragrance of flowers is pleasant.
In the fruit forest, the atmosphere of Liu Xiu's meeting with the Monkey King again was not harmonious, not to mention sabre-rattling, but a taste of evil guests coming to the door again.
The Monkey King was pressed to the ground by Liu Xiu not long ago and rubbed, it couldn't beat Liu Xiu, this time they met again, he held the stick in his hand and looked at him angrily, and his angry eyes were a little aggrieved and helpless, I don't know how Liu Xiu is going to bully them this time.
The surroundings are full of large and small monkeys, they also look at Liu Xiu, but they are silent, the so-called soldier is a male and female, will be instigated by a nest, the monkey king is instigated, and the other monkeys are of course at a loss.
Looking at the Monkey King, Liu Xiu said with a kind smile: "Monkey, we don't know each other anymore, strictly speaking, we are also neighbors, there are many things wrong with my approach before, this time I came here to make amends, whether you understand it or not, No, this is for you, I hope it can help you, and I hope to resolve the unhappiness between us."
As he spoke, Liu Xiu threw the bamboo tube containing the medicinal soup towards the Monkey King.
The Monkey King seemed to sense that Liu Xiu was not here to find fault, the anger in his eyes decreased slightly, and he subconsciously caught the bamboo tube thrown by Liu Xiu with doubts, looking puzzled.
Liu Xiu made a gesture to the Monkey King, he knew that the Monkey King must understand, so he immediately turned around and left slowly, sending the Monkey King medicinal soup was just to repay them for their help and apologies for taking their monkey wine, and he didn't expect to turn the war into a jade silk, nor did he come to curry favor with the monkeys, Liu Xiu just wanted peace of mind.
To be kind to others is to meditate.
Liu Xiu, who turned around and walked slowly, realized something, and his mood was exceptionally calm and happy, as if the world around him was a little kinder.
The Monkey King looked at Liu Xiu's back, scratched his head, looked at the bamboo tube in his hand suspiciously, smelled it, his eyes lit up, and he realized that it was a good thing.
In fact, the Monkey King also has extremely high intelligence, and feeling Liu Xiu's kindness, it hesitated for a moment and shouted at Liu Xiu's back.
Liu Xiu stopped, turned around and looked at it calmly.
At this time, the Monkey King pointed at Liu Xiu, then grinned as if he was smiling, and patted his chest, as if to say that if you have something to do in the future, just look for me, and as if he was using such a move to tell Liu Xiu, I don't care about the previous things.
The surrounding monkeys also squeaked, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
Liu Xiu also laughed, although he couldn't really communicate with the Monkey King, he could also feel that the estrangement between them had been eliminated, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.
Seeing that the Monkey King nodded, Liu Xiu continued to turn around and leave.
"I used to be a businessman, the pursuit of the minimum cost to obtain the maximum benefit, this character has continued to this day, whether it is a group of monkeys, or a tiger, I let them do things just by force to give in, although I take it for granted, but I have not considered their feelings, although to consider the feelings of animals seems a little ridiculous, but now it seems that that unscrupulous character is not in line with my state of mind, after this time, occasionally have an understanding, to know the truth of the good beginning, it is not too late, people, Always have three good thoughts in your heart, and there will always be no mistakes......"
With her mind flickering, Liu Xiu became more and more relaxed, her thinking seemed to have been sublimated, and she had a feeling of sudden enlightenment when she saw the whole world.
Taoism talks about nature, the avenue is natural, the Tao is divided into yin and yang, yin and yang pay attention to balance, get, pay, pay, harvest, this is balance, this is nature.
Liu Xiu walked step by step, the wind around him felt more gentle and kind, as soon as his thoughts moved, the wind around him moved, blowing down the rain of petals around him, fluttering up lightly, accompanied by the rain of flowers, like a fairy in the dust, the rain of flowers and rain flew away, and disappeared in the distance with him.
After Liu Xiu left, after a short silence, the monkeys immediately became noisy, squeaking, as if discussing the magical scene just now.
The Monkey King looked at the direction in which Liu Xiu disappeared, grinned for a moment, looked down at the bamboo tube in his hand, the baby's protection was in his arms, and turned back to the cave to drink......
Back at the bamboo building, the petal rain was gone, and Liu Xiu was smiling, and her perception of the wind was on a higher level.
"Practice, cultivate the mind, the mind is the foundation, the heart moves at will to perceive the heaven and the earth, this is the great road of nature, do not have to deliberately pursue, do not have to deliberately persist, the heart follows nature, and the work becomes a natural ......"
Muttering to himself, Liu Xiu looked down at his fingertips, there, there was an invisible and gentle wind surrounding!
He didn't think deeply about whether his consciousness was strong enough to control the airflow, or whether the wind was close to him and followed the flow of his thoughts.
He didn't know what it meant to be able to control the airflow, but he could make his life easier, right?
With a hook of his finger, a leaf more than ten meters away was swept up by the air flow and landed on his finger, and then waved his hand, and the leaf drifted away again.
"The scope of influence is limited, and the weight is not enough, but I think it will be easier to pick fruits and harvest crops in the future......
With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu didn't think about how this ability would be in fighting, killing, and killing, he had long passed the age of being hot-blooded, where could he live comfortably and competitively?
Looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, Liu Xiu thought that he should be able to float up and step on the top of the mountain to climb high and look far away, but he didn't take action, anyway, the mountain is there, you can go whenever you want, now it's better to pack up your things and go out for a walk in the spring season, especially the thousands of miles of flowers drunk with flowers, I think it's the time when the flowers are blooming, you can't miss it.
"Compile the kind of bamboo basket that an ancient scholar carries, put a few books in it, prepare a little pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and bring all kinds of spices, you can't grieve your mouth along the way, well, that's it......"
Thinking of these, Liu Xiu carried a firewood knife to the bamboo forest.
Chopping bamboo, cutting strips, weaving bamboo baskets, time passes little by little, and before you know it, it is already the middle of the moon.
When the bamboo basket was halfway braided, Liu Xiuxin felt something, and looked up at the direction of the lake, and then put down the half-woven bamboo basket and went to the top of a tall pear tree to look at the direction of the lake.
The bright moon hangs high in the sky, the moon shines like water shining on the whole heaven and earth, the mist is misty, and the scenery at night is like a dream.
At this time, in the center of the calm lake where the mist was rising, a trace of ripples began to spread, and then the water surface began to churn, and in the tumultuous water, Liu Xiu's neighbor who had not been seen for many days actually appeared on the surface of the water again.
It didn't take a second look at Liu Xiu at this time, but half of its body stretched out of the water to face the moon, and the moonlight sprinkled down, and it seemed to be several times brighter around it, especially its dark and cold body, there was actually a faint white light flickering, such a picture, not only did it not look hideous and terrifying, but it was somewhat sacred and peaceful.
Seeing this scene, Liu Xiu's heart trembled inexplicably, and his keen senses felt that at this time, his neighbor didn't look at the quiet moon swallowing, but he exuded an invisible dangerous aura, that kind of aura was very strong, he didn't feel it before, and it seemed that the slightest change would usher in the neighbor's crazy counterattack.
"What's wrong with it?" Liu Xiu murmured in her heart, and she had a premonition that something seemed to be happening.
The giant python in the lake swallowed the moon, and time passed little by little, and the moonlight around it seemed to become more and more intense, and the light on its body was also becoming brighter.
But to a certain extent, the more and more intense moonlight quickly dissipated, and even the light on the giant python's body became dark and disappeared, and the giant python itself stopped swallowing the moonlight.
Next, under Liu Xiu's surprised gaze, the giant python standing on the surface of the lake with half of its body closed its mouth, at that moment, Liu Xiu seemed to hear a slight clicking sound, and then saw that a small slit was cracked on the top of the python's head, and the gap was getting bigger and bigger, in the middle of the python's head, and after a while, it extended to the back of its head.
At this time, the dangerous aura on the giant python's body became more and more intense, and Liu Xiu looked at it as if it was in pain.
With a flickering mind, Liu Xiu quickly understood something, and said to himself: "Spring is blooming, it is about to molt, no wonder it looks painful, and when the snake molts its skin, it is the weakest time, no wonder the dangerous aura on its body is so strong."
Thinking of this, Liu Xiu observed the neighbor's molting, and looked around, at this time, if something ran out of the python was not good for the python, Liu Xiu decided to help out as much as he could, after all, he could live here safely, in a sense, it can be said that he takes care of it.
Over there, the python molted, its body writhed in pain, the surface of the water churned endlessly, it appeared on the surface of the water and sometimes rushed to the bottom, and the whole lake set off a huge wind and waves.
Watching the giant python molt intermittently, Liu Xiu saw that it first had its head drilled out of the crack with difficulty, and then its body, little by little, the process was very slow, but the movement was really not small.
Fortunately, there were no accidents during the whole process, and after three hours, the molting of the python was completely completed.
After molting, it is still pitch black, but its body surface is different from the cold and reflective metal color before, and now it is deep black, like pitch-black ink, as if the light is about to be swallowed up by the black.
However, after all, it has just molted, and its body surface looks a little soft, and it does not have the same solid feeling as before.
The giant python, which looked very weak, glanced at Liu Xiu after the molting was completed, and its eyes seemed to be grateful, as if it knew that Liu Xiu was helping it protect the Dharma before, although it did not help.
After one glance, the python's weakened body sank to the bottom of the water, and the surface of the lake gradually calmed down, leaving only a large, pitch-black snakeskin on the surface of the lake.
"After molting, it has to grow again, right? I really don't know how big it will get...... Hey, don't you want snakeskin? Liu Xiu's eyes lit up when he looked at it.
If the other party doesn't want to......
Before he could think of anything, the originally weak python's head appeared on the surface of the lake again, glanced at Liu Xiu, as if to say what you want to do, and then dragged it into the water with a snake skin in his mouth......
Liu Xiu was speechless, you can take it away, what do you mean by looking at me? A snakeskin, not a black silk taken off...... Phew, what's the use of you taking snake skin?
