Chapter 29: Goodbye
It's really embarrassing to cough, but the unscrupulous master is laughing on the sidelines, and I don't know what's funny about it.
It took almost a minute or so for me to calm down a little, helplessly looking at the laughing master, who looked at me and looked at him, and immediately pretended to be nothing, staring into the distance and began to whistle, as if the person who laughed at me just now was not him.
I'm too lazy to bother with him, after so many years, if I don't adapt to his occasionally unreliable personality, then it's.
So I also pretended to forget what happened just now, and asked Master, "Master, you said that you need a secret religion in Tibet to really open the door of Penglai, why?" I know that Penglai is at sea, how can it be in Tibet? Only by following the Jiao, but the kind that goes smoothly, can it be possible to see the real Penglai! ”
Master wrung a towel in the water, then wiped the droplets off his face, leaned on a stone very leisurely, and then said to me, "Vicissitudes of life, do you understand the meaning of this sentence? The deep meaning refers to the change of time, but the surface meaning is that the place that was once in the sea will now become a mulberry field, and it is the highest place at the altitude today, but there are fossils of ancient sea creatures, what do you think? ”
At this moment, I also calmed down, took the clothes and pants placed on the shore, felt out the cigarette in it, and lit one for myself, the meaning of Master's words was too clear, I spit out a puff of cigarette, and said, "I understand, Master, you mean that Tibet was a long time ago, and it was probably a sea, right?" Even if it is sure, it is also land now, and according to Taoist classics, Penglai will never appear on land. ”
Master snatched the cigarette from me, took a puff with some hesitation, threw it to me again, and scolded me with a smile: "The strength of this thing is 108,000 miles worse than dry tobacco, and I can't get used to smoking it in my life." ”
I smiled and didn't speak, in my memory, the master in my soul was always the figure of a dry cigarette, if it was replaced by a cigarette, I would be very awkward.
The one just now was just a small episode, and the master just laughed and scolded, and continued: "When I say that I can really open the gate of Penglai again there, does it mean that the door of Penglai must be opened there?" The ancient sea, there is always something left there, right? If you get those relics, you can really and inevitably open the door of Penglai. So"
Master didn't go on, but I frowned slightly, if there really is such a thing in a secret religion, it must be something that someone else has to look for, right? Is it so easy to go to the door to ask for it? If we fight, doesn't it seem that we are very unreasonable? Speaking of which, it's better to look for a Jiao who is about to become a dragon!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shout: "Master, I think"
Master seemed to see what I was thinking, waved his hand and said, "I know what you're thinking?" First of all, do you think Jackie Chan's Jiao is Chinese cabbage, and you can find it if you look for it? And walking Jiao is a cruel process, the hardships and tribulations can be written into a book, and the chance of success is not great, the last time we were lucky! In addition, we have approached Penglai by walking Jiao Jackie Chan, but in fact, God does not allow it, and it will not be so easy next time, and even our group of people may not have the opportunity to get close to Penglai in this way. However, there are some things that cannot wait, and we must enter Penglai through this inevitable way. ”
"But, Master, unless that secret sect is particularly generous, you also know that the remnants of Penglai are not ordinary items, right? They will lend it to us. Otherwise, is it possible that we will rob other people's things? "That's my biggest fear.
It's a little funny to say, as an apprentice, I am worried that the master is too radical for some things and has an 'evil path', although I know in my heart that the master is a very good person.
Master said, "If it's a decent family, I'm not worried that they won't lend this thing!" Because what will happen will have some impact on the entire circle of cultivators, or the world. All upright cultivators know that cultivation is a thing that goes against the heavens, and the reason why the heavens turn a blind eye and allow us special people to exist is because the heavens have asked us to take on more moral things. And in this world now, there are many wrong views, as if a person who says to save the world and give back to society will be seen as a fool, but I believe that one day, people will understand, thinking in life, what have I done to this society? My life is as short as a meteor, but the meaning of life is to make a contribution to the whole, even if it is a small push. ”
Speaking of this, Master paused and said with a smile, "I'm far away, and I can't stop talking about this." In short, they are not decent people, and they do not have a moral responsibility! On the contrary, this sect should have been pulled out of the hidden rumors a long time ago, and what they did was terrible. Even if it's not for Penglai, let's do something righteous. ”
When Master said this, I suddenly remembered Tao Bai and Lu Shan, and remembered what we had encountered at the border in Tibetan areas, and I couldn't help but feel a move in my heart, and I just wanted to say something.
But I saw that Master's face suddenly became a little strange, a little excited, a little careful, the whole person froze there, more nervous.
Why did Master do this all of a sudden? Seeing Master's expression, I was holding back all the words in my stomach, and Master's eyes were staring at one place, and when I looked at Master like this, I didn't dare to ask Master anything, so I could only follow Master's eyes and look towards the same place.
It was in a deep pool near the waterfall, and there was a rock standing there, about the height of a man, and Master's gaze stayed on that place.
At first, I didn't notice anything wrong there, but when I looked closely, I couldn't take my eyes off it.
Because there is a snake entrenched there, it is not big, even if it is entrenched visually, it is only 1 or 2 meters long, and the color of the black lacquer is very inconspicuous, and it is really not easy to notice if you are not careful, just like a black snake.
But once you see it, you can't take your eyes off it anymore, just like many people know enamel, the same color, enamel gives people the feeling of being Ambilight, because the color of the enamel is made of ore grinding and firing, if you use ordinary pigments to fake things, you don't have that feeling of Ambilight at a glance.
In the same way, the black snake gives people the feeling of being a very ordinary mass, just a black lump, but this little snake gives people the feeling of shining under its snake skin, and it does not glow, but flows with a gorgeous jewel color.
And that dark paint color contains a kind of reflective red, and in a trance, it looks like a flame wrapping this little snake.
Actually, Master and I are no strangers to it, and when we fled in a hurry, we once saw it in such a surprise and judged it to be a beetle!
At this time, Master and I looked at it, and it was entrenched in its body, and it was looking at us with its head held high.
Compared to the stiffness of my whole body and that of Master, the movements and expressions of this snake make people cry and laugh, how can there be a snake with its neck raised and then tilted its head to look at people? In particular, the eyes of this snake are a little larger than the eyes of ordinary snakes, which is a bit like Chengzhen's cute snake and deliberately sells cuteness.
Of course, others (maybe it should be 'don't snake') are born like this, although the big eyes are not as exaggerated as the cute snake, but the emotions revealed by such a pair of eyes are too rich, and the eyes that look at us are clearly playful and a little curious, full of some freshness, but there is no malicious look.
However, I don't know if it was deliberate, but it was okay for Master and I not to move, and if we moved a little, its neck would follow back and forth, and it felt like a cobra was about to attack its target.
Master and I are Taoists, and we have a kind of awe for the existence of the beetle snake, so when we see it like this, we don't dare to act rashly.
The water in the deep pool was originally very cold, and Master and I soaked in the water for most of our bodies, which should have been very cool and comfortable, but after this strange snake appeared, Master and I were covered with fine beads of sweat on our foreheads.
For some reason, the air outside the pool felt a little hotter.
"This snake is extraordinary." Master suddenly whispered to me.
Isn't this nonsense? Is there still a 'mortal' for beetles? It was so stiff that I whispered, "Isn't this a beetle?" Xiao Ding said that the holy snake to be guarded should be it. By the way, before I left, Xiao Ding once greeted me, I didn't see anything I saw, and I didn't have to care about and provoke. If he really can't do it, he shouted loudly, what he should say is that we may see this beetle snake? ”
"I'm not sure if it's a beetle snake, after all, it's the secret of the snake sect, but it's not wrong that it should be their holy snake. If Xiao Ding said so, then let's go? Being watched by this little guy, why am I feeling weak in my heart? As the Master spoke, he was already trying to stand up slowly.
I felt the same way, and at the same time, I was tentatively starting to stand up slowly, but I always had a hunch that something was going to happen? But what happens? After all, I don't feel the snake's malice yet.
