Chapter 53: Descending the Mountain
Green Mountains.
Qing Xiu Hall –
"Master, are you looking for me?"
Standing in the center of the main hall, Hades performed a master-apprentice salute.
"Chen'er, do you know the meaning of peach blossoms?"
Dressed in white, he put his hands behind his back, and slowly turned around, revealing his white beard, pale hair, and delicate face, but it was his true age - Gu Yue (the current head of Qingyin Mountain, the patriarch of the Fox Immortal Sect, cultivating as: is approaching the tribulation period. )
"Yes."
Shenchen said respectfully: "The peach blossoms will bloom every year. The meaning of this is divided into two aspects. The first aspect, Tu'er believes that it should symbolize women, and the so-called women are like this peach blossom, and at a certain time, they will also bloom...... And this second aspect, in vain's opinion, only represents itself, they are fragrant when they bloom, giving people a feeling of flowers, although people rarely use words to describe it, but this so-called flower language is only known to those who really know it. ”
"You're right."
Gu Yue turned around and began to explain his great truth, saying, "However, these are only one aspect of it. Chen'er, in fact, the so-called peach blossom has another meaning. That is, one word - love! ”
"Love?"
"That's right. The laymen in the world usually use the Peach Blossom Tribulation to describe that they have a very good marriage, however, this kind of Peach Blossom Tribulation contains a bit of a wide range of meanings, and the teacher has only experienced it when he went down the mountain to practice, so it is not enough to understand your current Taoism. ”
"But master, why did you tell the apprentice this?" Shenchen asked with a puzzled expression.
"Chen'er......" Gu Yue paused for a moment, and then said: "Actually, everyone is not born whole, we are alive, we just want to be a permanent guardian of the land in our hearts, that is the territory, but also the home we should protect, so we should all try to improve ourselves." ”
"Every head of Qingming Mountain will choose to go down the mountain to experience himself, in order to understand the real love word, and only when he really passes the love pass can he be regarded as truly enlightened......"
Shenchen frowned and said, "But master, isn't the reason why we sneaked into the mountains and forests just to avoid this word?" So why bother yourself? ”
Gu Yue shook her head with a smile and said, "Actually, I thought the same way as a teacher before. However, it was not until later that the teacher realized that it was the teacher's mistake and the teacher's fault! ......”
"Master......"
"It's okay to be a teacher. Chen'er, tomorrow you will go down the mountain, remember the words of the teacher: never enter the red dust! ......”
———————————————
It's late at night.
The roof of Ranshinoden.
Shenchen sat there with his chin propped up, his eyes staring at the crescent moon in the sky, but his mind had long since lost sight of where it had flown to.
Why did the master say the word "love" to me today?
Who am I? Where did it come from?
In fact, since he woke up, he didn't remember who he was. He used to think like this, was he a bad person before? If you are a bad person, you will want to forget everything about yourself and be a new person. Only in this way will I not be able to remember everything that happened before. But if ...... Wasn't I a bad person before? So who am I? Do I have any relatives?
You're going down tomorrow, huh?
I'm looking forward to it! ——
"Hades! ——”
"Oh! - It's coming! ”
Speechless all night.
Early the next morning, Shenchen said goodbye to the head and the elders and went down the mountain.
The first location, Tianbao Town.
The current time is 1840 B.C. In other words, it has been six years since Mu was destroyed.
Walking on the street, looking at the bustling houses and stalls around him, he couldn't help but be surprised, it turned out that the master said that Hongchen was like this!
It's really hard to think about!
"Hey! The one ahead! ——”
As soon as he walked downstairs to a restaurant, he heard someone shouting behind him, so he turned around.
Standing in front of him was a young man dressed in green, only about fifteen or sixteen years old, holding a folding fan in his hand, with a delicate face, and he looked like a rich kid, and he was also a scholar.
"Call me?" Hades pointed to himself.
"Don't look at it, it's you!" The young man walked up to Shenchen and said in the tone of the young master: "How do you look at you, you are all from out of town, dressed like this, what are you doing?" Heroes of the rivers and lakes? ”
Shenchen smiled slightly and nodded, "Yes! ”
"Whatever!" Unexpectedly, the young man skillfully hugged Mingchen's shoulders and said, "Young Master Ben is in a bad mood today, let's go, lose Young Master Ben and drink a few glasses!" ”
How many drinks?
Shenchen breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he had seen the four elders drink before, and he still knew what it meant.
"But I don't know how to drink?"
"Nope! ——" When the young man heard this, he dragged Shenchen into the restaurant, "It doesn't matter if you can't, I'll teach you!" - Shopkeeper, wine! On the best daughter red! Bring me another first-class private room, speed up!! ”
"It's coming! Guest officer, please! ”
............
In a private room.
"Come on! Drink! After his daughter was brought up, the young man poured a big bowl directly for Shenchen.
"I won't, really won't." Shenchen excused himself and said.
"You can't learn it!" The young man saw that Shenchen was a little simple, so he made a special demonstration, and after drinking, he said: "Look, it's just me like this, just drink it all." ”
Shenchen immediately waved his hand and said, "My master once said that wine is a harmful thing, so we should think about our own health and not drink alcohol......
"That's it!" The young man didn't expect this person to have so many great truths, could it be that he was the apprentice of a certain immortal? Whoever he is an apprentice, I will definitely break you. So, he said, "Let me ask you, has your master ever gone down the mountain?" ”
Shenchen nodded and said, "I've done it." ”
"Did he tell you about his descent from the mountain?"
"Nope."
"That's not it!" The young man laughed, and said in his heart that this kid was still in a trap. "Since he didn't tell you, do you dare to guarantee that he didn't drink when he came down the mountain?" ”
"This ......" Hades didn't know what to say for a while.
"So!" The young man picked up the bowl of wine in the underworld, handed it to him, and said, "Since you have gone down the mountain, you should have a good experience!" If you don't follow the local customs, who won't see that you are extraordinary! ”
Hearing him say this, Shenchen felt that it made sense, if everyone here drank alcohol, wouldn't it be easy to expose his identity if he didn't drink himself?
After thinking about it like this, I naturally figured it out, so I picked up the bowl and drank it all! ——
Wow! ——
It's so spicy!
After drinking, Shenchen couldn't help pinching his nose, and his stomach was also hot, which was extremely uncomfortable.
Is this wine? What a harmful thing!
"Hahahaha......." The young man laughed, picked up a bowl of wine and drank it all, and said, "It's really bold!" Hahahaha...... I've made up your friend! ”
At this time, Shenchen also suddenly thought of it, and said, "I haven't asked you what your name is?" ”
The young man wiped his bangs and said handsomely: "If this young master doesn't change his name, he won't change his surname, and the Liujia Liuyue on Nanshan Street is also!" ”
Flowing Moon?
"By the way, boy, what's your name?"
"Oh, my name is Hades."
"Hades? What a weird name! It's so unpleasant to read...... So be it! I'll call you Xiaochen in the future, how about it? ”
"But you're younger than me?"
“...... Stinky boy, don't get an inch! Young Master Ben is high, do you understand? Do you understand? Come, drink! ——”
"I don't drink anymore. It's so spicy......"
"Don't drink? Then don't blame me for being rude! ——”
"Hey! What are you doing! - Hey! Feed! Stop it! ——”
