Chapter Eighty-Five: Supplement (Adding More to Her Brother's Reward) The old gourd
"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable ......"
At the last moment, a melodious voice came from the depths of the woods, and the sound was ethereal, as if it was far away in the mountains, and there was no trace to be found. But it seems to be still in front of me, and the sound is in my ears.
What's even more surprising is that the Great Sage of the Mixed Ape who was dancing his teeth and claws in mid-air actually slammed and fell from the sky weirdly, shaking the dust everywhere.
"The rootless tree, the flowers are secluded, who is willing to rest if they are greedy for glory. Floating things, bitter sea boats, drifting to and fro, unfree, boundless, shoreless, difficult to mooring, often swim in the fish and dragon danger. Willing to turn back, it's the shore, don't wait for the storm to break the boat. ”
The sound came slowly from the woods, with an indescribable magic, which made the whole world seem to fall into a clear and quiet peace.
An old man slowly walked out of the depths of the woods, his pace was very slow, and he walked and moved, as if he were taking a leisurely walk. The clothes are torn and ordinary, accompanied by a wine gourd around his waist, and what he recited in his mouth is Zhang Sanfeng's Dan words.
"There is no rootless tree, the flower is lonely, by asking yin and yang to get the same kind of nothing, hen eggs, difficult to hold chicks, back the yin and yang furnace. A woman without a husband is a resentful woman, and a man without a wife is a husband. Sigh lost, too vague; Meditation and solitary cultivation turn dry. ”
The old man was not in a hurry, he recited the words slowly, and as his steps approached, his voice became clearer and clearer.
The sound of his recitation carried a penetrating heart, the magic power that reached the heavenly spirit, and made my heart spread with an indescribable emotion.
It's anxiety, it's impatience...... In the end, it slowly calmed down. The spiritual platform was clear, and the body and mind seemed to have been washed.
When the heat gradually faded and my mind calmed down, I slowly opened my eyes. And at this moment, I actually found that my hands actually had a sense of qi again......
Not only that, but the arrogant red-haired monkey before, the Great Sage of Mixed Ape. At this time, he was obediently prostrate on the ground, like a baby next door, and there was no trace of domineering arrogance.
I once heard that when a saint preached, he only held a scroll of scriptures in his hand and recited the scriptures orally, which was a burst of fairy music.
Although, this is just a legend, an ethereal legend. But the old man who came out in front of him had obviously reached an unfathomable realm. With just one Dan poem, I was reborn, and it also washed away the anger on the Great Sage of the Mixed Ape.
In this world, there is a kind of person whose state of mind has reached a realm that ordinary people cannot reach. He ate, slept, spoke, and preached, all of which were fully integrated into the Word.
Perhaps, this old man is one of these few people.
When he approached me, I noticed that this old man was actually a Mediterranean (half-bald), and he did not wear a robe, nor a scarf, but only ordinary clothes. Moreover, there is a strong smell of wine on his body, and it can be seen from the gourd he wears that the old man in front of him is definitely a greedy person.
He walked up to me, looked at the knife in my hand, and then at Xiao Changsheng next to me.
His eyes made my heart tighten, isn't it, this old man also covets the essence of Xiao Changsheng?
I was secretly anxious, and my whole body was filled with a feeling of powerlessness. If the Great Sage of the Mixed Ape is a fierce tiger, and I can still give it a go. Then this old man is the dragon of the Nine Heavens, and I can't feel a trace of resistance at all.
"Alas......" Suddenly, the old man in rags sighed and touched Xiao Changsheng's luster, which was not very bright
"Tianyan Avenue is forty-nine, leaving a glimmer of life. All things grow, there is a time, this is your fate, but also your calamity? ”
The old man sighed faintly at Xiao Changsheng, his age looked very old, and the cloudy glasses could not see the slightest brilliance, but his voice, with the vicissitudes of knowing everything.
After repeatedly bowing to Xiao Changsheng, he slowly sat down beside Xiao Changsheng, and after that, he actually recited the scriptures as if no one was around.
“……………… Ignorance is extinguished, and the heart has no beginning; If there is no cause, the realm will disappear; Because the cause and fate are extinguished, the heart is exhausted, and the name is nirvana. As the last sentence of the verse fell, Xiao Changsheng's rhizome seemed to regain its vitality, and the leaves were green and verdant.
Xiao Changsheng swayed his leaves, as if nodding to the old man.
It was only at this time that I finally breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that this old man was not playing Xiao Changsheng's idea at all, he only planned to save Xiao Changsheng from the beginning, and he had no intention of harming him.
"All calamities are born from fate, and all fates are born from calamities, I hope that after this battle, you will be enlightened and touch the mysterious door as soon as possible. …… Practice well! I'll take something from you first. With that, the old man bent down and took the ...... from the rhizome of Xiao Changsheng Two wisps of roots.
After putting these two wisps of roots into the box, the old man smiled at me, as if he understood the worry in my heart,
The old man said with a smile: "This yellow essence is the birth of the blessed land of feng shui, born by the mercy of the heavenly way. He can meet you and go through this catastrophe with you, which is also the destined fate between the two of you. It's just that in order to avoid the pursuit of this strange beast, he was forced to separate the spirit and body, and he used his essence blood to wash the essence and cut the essence for you, and now it has to cultivate for some more time before it can give birth to spiritual wisdom again. ”
Speaking of this, the old man seemed to be thirsty, took out the wooden gourd he was wearing on his waist, took a sip of wine, and stood with his hands behind his back and said: "The past is still like smoke, a drink and a peck are called mysteries, this life has been extinguished for many years, and Nirvana is also fate." ”
Although the old man's poem was talking to himself, I understood that he was talking to me again, and the meaning of his words was obvious. is telling me that this is the fate destined in the underworld, Xiao Changsheng is destined to meet me, and it is also destined to achieve a cause and effect with me, this is the fate of the two of us, and it is also the calamity of Xiao Changsheng.
After this robbery, Xiao Changsheng can only start his cultivation again, and when he regains his spiritual wisdom, he will be like a newborn baby, without the memory of the past, and will never remember me.
I sighed leisurely and squatted down beside Xiao Changsheng. Touching his fresh green leaves, looking at the body like a small man under the leaves.
The heart was slowly filled with indescribable bitterness.
I knew that the kid who had pestered me in front of me and called me uncle, munching on pastries and covering his mouth with crumbs was gone.
I will never meet him now, or in the future, and he will never remember me, nor will he remember that there was an uncle who had mistaken him for his son.
The encounter with him is really like a dream, in the dream, the flowers fall, the flowers bloom, and disappear quickly. In the end, all that remains is the nostalgia of remembrance and the memories that I don't want to give up.
"Little Changsheng, whether you remember me or not in the future, uncle, I will never forget you! Uncle also hopes that future children can be as cute and kind as you. ”
I finally wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes, perhaps, I should be happy that Xiao Changsheng has a new beginning. Or maybe I should rejoice that it was reborn. It's just that why am I so lost, why do I feel empty in my heart, as if something has been cut off alive.
"People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless!" The old man's sigh completely explained my complicated feelings.
At this moment, I turned around and saw the old man squatting down, slowly stroking the fluff on the body of the Great Ape Sage with his withered hands.
He looked at the Great Sage of the Mixed Ape and sighed lightly: "You were born with a different species, born with spiritual creatures, but because you were not taught, you ended up with an unruly temperament. If you want to follow me back to the Seven Star Cave Heaven Cultivation Avenue, climb on my shoulder. If you don't want to, you can leave on your own, I just hope that you will cherish the glimmer of life left by God, and don't cause trouble by holding your temperament. ”
"Squeak...... It didn't take a moment for the Great Sage of the Mixed Ape to climb directly onto the old man's shoulders and sit on the old man's shoulders obediently.
"Okay, good ......" the old man laughed happily, he stroked the head of the bastard ape sage, and said dotingly: "You are a monkey, and when you walk, you are like thunder, and when you howl, you are like thunder." I'll give you a homophonic surname "Hou", the word, just take the word thunder, you see how it is. ”
Without waiting for the Great Sage of the Mixed Ape to speak, the old man clapped his hands with great satisfaction, and instantly knocked on the board and said, "Okay, from now on, you will call Hou Lei." ”
I, on the other hand, watched dumbfounded, the corners of my mouth twitching.
