Chapter Twenty-Seven, Is It Easy to Go Down the Mountain?
On the first night of going down the mountain, the master made a rare return to the fairy cave. I brought a lot of good dishes, and in the evening I prepared a large table of dishes, and the master and apprentice drank around the stone table.
I raised the bowl and looked at the Immortal Cave, where I had lived for nine years, and said that it was the Immortal Cave, but in fact it was an ordinary cave. It means a lot to me.
It also changed the path of my future life, if it weren't for the master, I might have to be like my father in the mountains for the rest of my life, facing the loess with my back to the sky.
"Master, this first bowl of wine apprentice respects you, although you haven't fulfilled your duty as a master over the years, but who let you receive a good apprentice? Who made you an apprentice, I am a man who knows how to repay your kindness? I threw my head up and drank a lot.
The master propped up on the stone bench on one leg and drank a bowl, "You kid, you haven't learned, but you don't lose if you're flamboyant." ”
"As the saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the son of a mouse can make holes. I replied with a smile.
The master stretched out his hand and wanted to knock me on the head, but I dodged it, "Do you still think it's when you were a child, and you knock on it?" ”
I was secretly proud to avoid the master's burst, and I didn't want a gust of wind to cross and be knocked by the master with a pain in my head. I rubbed my head with my mouth open, but I saw the master sitting on the stone bench with a calm expression holding the dishes, and did not move at all.
"Fengzi, remember the words of the teacher, stay kind, and don't lose yourself. If the teacher discovers that you have done unrighteous things in the future, he will not be merciful, and he will slash you as a rebel at the ends of the earth. It was rare for the master to speak in such a solemn tone.
I originally wanted to choke back, but I was swallowed back and said with a smile: "I brought it out by the master, doesn't the master even have this confidence?" ”
I don't like such serious conversations, so I'm pretending to be lighthearted and replying...
The master has also returned to normal, "I am naturally confident as a teacher, but I am ...... to you"
I thumped my chest, "I have confidence in myself, too." Master, you can rest assured..."
"Keep your heart, don't be afraid of power, don't bully the weak..."The master took a sip of wine and admonished again.
I never knew that the master had no children and no daughters all his life, and he was at ease. I am the only apprentice, and I may be not only an apprentice in his heart, but also a son. So I couldn't help but say a few more words.
I'm most afraid of sensationalism, so I pretended to be impatient and waved my hand, "Master, what's wrong with you today?" Why is it such a mother-in-law? Come, drink..."
The master looked at me fixedly, as if he wanted to see through the nine years of time, so he held the bowl and touched it with me, muttering, "Amitabha, what is the appearance..."
People can be ruthless if they are not grass and trees, and the Buddhists must cut off all love, and only by being pure and having few desires can they cultivate the supreme avenue.
The Buddha's palm and the Buddha's voice, a monkey and a mouse, also the old gods are there, and they each occupy a position. These two little things are with me, and they both love to drink. Seeing that I was drinking happily with the master, I was also chattering and screaming to clink glasses, so I had to take the bowl and touch them one by one, and then stopped.
As the saying goes, if you don't get drunk, everyone gets drunk. I drank this wine with my master until midnight.
I drank so much that I couldn't help but feel excited when I thought that tomorrow I would be able to go down the mountain to see the world of flowers outside.
At the end of the drink, I didn't know where to go back to the room, and I slept until noon.
When I woke up, I found that the Buddha's palm and the Buddha's voice were sleeping on all fours, but after quietly getting out of bed, I found that the master's room was empty, and I don't know when he left again, anyway, he has always been like this, coming and going without a trace.
For some reason, the thought of suddenly leaving this familiar place made me a little reluctant.
Xu drank too much wine last night and had a dry mouth, and was about to turn around and scoop water into the water tank to drink, but found that there seemed to be something left on the master's bed.
I walked in and saw that it was a gray cloth bag, like an ancient money bag, and it looked inconspicuous.
There were some embroidered patterns on the cloth bag, and I only recognized a lotus flower when I looked at it.
I picked up the paper pressed under the cloth bag casually, and it was written: The Qiankun bag you have always wanted will be given to you for the teacher. Also, when you're outside, remember to run if you can't beat it. People are floating in the rivers and lakes, and there is always a time when they can take revenge. Finally, don't mention my name. Remember!
It wasn't until many years later that I realized why my master told me not to report his name. That's because if I report his name, I'm afraid I'll die faster. I never knew that the unruly master had done such a vigorous thing when he was young.
It was also many years later that I learned that my master's nickname was "Blood Buddha". and the ins and outs of the three words "Blood Buddha".
I folded the letter carefully, wrapped it in a cloth again, and then held the bag in my hand, and my heart was happy.
Holding his breath and concentrating, his heart was like stopping water, mobilizing a trace of Buddha thoughts in his mind, and slowly leading him closer to the Qiankun bag.
I didn't expect to open the Qiankun bag so easily, and there was a space of about ten cubic meters in it. It's like a small room. There was nothing but a few pieces of rune paper.
As soon as my mind moved, the wrapped letter in my hand was put into the bag.
I had a lot of fun, and I also put in the sticks that I used to practice on weekdays. I received a few more changes of clothes and a little dry food.
At noon, I woke up the Buddha's palm and the Buddha's sound, and also tried to put these two goods in, but I didn't think that this Qiankun bag only accepts dead things, and living things can't be put in.
I could only helplessly go down the mountain with the Buddha's palm and the Buddha's sound. After all, they have been with me for so many years, and I can't afford to lose any of them. And even if I want to lose it, I have to be able to lose it. These two goods are thieves, don't look back and don't throw them away, but I lost myself.
I packed up my things, put the bag in my arms, and threaded a rope with a thin thread to the waistband of my trousers.
The sun was blazing outside, and I looked back at the Immortal Cave, and then turned around and strode away, extremely excited.
Girls under the mountain, I'm here!
The Buddha's palm and the Buddha's voice are also happy, one swinging around the tree, and the other drilling in the ground. But basically, they have to run to me every once in a while to rub around.
As the sun began to sink in the west, I wiped the sweat from my forehead and realized that something was wrong. Been walking for hours and still haven't walked out?
I frowned and slapped my thigh violently, the master once said that the three caves of the cunning rabbit, the fairy cave is his hiding place. So there must be a formation shelter on the periphery.
I punched the tree next to me, and the leaves fell in a slam, but I didn't expect to be placed on the next mountain.
Is this easy for me? Walked such a wrongful road.
I whistled into the distance, and in a moment the Buddha palm and the Buddha sound ran back and landed on my shoulder.
The formation is nothing more than taking advantage of the geographical advantages of the mountains and rivers to practice the art of confusing the illusion and use it to defend against the trapped enemy.
I closed my eyes and recited the Heart Sutra in my mouth, thinking nothing, thinking nothing, and my mind was clear.
Let the Buddha's palm and Buddha's voice lead the way in front...
Sure enough, when the sunset reflected half of the sky, I went out of the range of the formation, and there was smoke rising from the village not far away...
