Chapter 64: Heading South
Master took out his treasured handwritten half of the "Tai Chi Thirty-two Prefaces Feng Shui Secret Collection", and when he handed the book to me, his expression was stern, and he said very solemnly: "Although there is only half a copy of this book, it is recorded in the essence of Taoism, you must be very careful to keep it, and you must not lose it." ”
I immediately nodded, thinking that I would keep the book in a secret room, and I would only take it out when I was studying, so as not to lose it.
Then Master said to me, "We who practice the Tao have the virtue of a good life, although you don't enter the Tao. But we must always remember that we must not use the Taoism in this book to do bad things and hurt others, let alone strayed into evil ways! ”
I immediately nodded, claiming to remember Master's teachings.
Master's teachings did not end lightly, and he said to me, "A cultivator will become more and more pure-minded and have few desires, but you are greedy for red dust, so try not to learn too much Taoism, and you need to have a degree in everything you do." ”
I nodded again, indicating that I had listened to the teachings.
Master was about to say something, but when he saw that my eyes were about to fall off the book, he stroked his goatee and smiled, saying, "Go ahead!" I'll go back to the secret room and pick out a gift for my new apprentice. ”
Hearing this, he immediately bent down and saluted, bid farewell to the master, and returned to his room in a hurry as if he were stepping on hot wheels, and couldn't wait to turn the pages of the book.
However, after reading a chapter, I was confused. Because, I can't understand it at all, all of it is written in Taoist professional terms, and there are many magic weapons and formations in it. There are also spells, which are simply incomprehensible. The only thing I can understand is how to draw the symbols.
Now I suddenly felt a pain in my head. suddenly thought that someone could understand, so he immediately went straight to the old house of the Zha family in the suburbs of Beijing.
In the following days, he traveled between the Yishiju and the Chajia family, and discussed the secret techniques of the Tao in the secret book with the seventh master.
After seeing my treasure cheats, Seventh Master was also carried away and discussed with me sleeplessly. Later, I thought it was too troublesome to run back and forth, so I hired someone to move the medicine jar directly to the Cha family, and I lived in the Cha family's house.
The toxins in the body are almost eliminated later. I immediately took the time to go to see Yue'er, she is now living in a private medical clinic opened by Luo's bearded friend, she is in good condition, her face has changed back to her original roundness, it seems that she is not only getting better, but she seems to wake up immediately anytime and anywhere.
The fat man stayed in the single ward of the infirmary day and night, and when he learned that I was going south, he immediately said to me, "Brother, don't forget to pick me up before leaving." ”
I know that fat people are deeply affectionate. will definitely accompany me to the south, but I still said to him: "Brother, it's okay if you don't go, stay at home to accompany Yue'er." ”
The fat man is determined to go. So I just promised him, and I would let him know when I left.
When the monkey learned that we were going south, he had to go. "Senior brother, we are now brothers. You two are going, but you must not leave me behind. ”
Brother Monkey. I felt a good feeling in my heart, so I assured him, "Okay, I will take you with me when I go." However, this time we are not going to fight backwards, but to find people, but without the previous Ming Touch, maybe there will be danger. ”
When the monkey heard this, he immediately said to me with great pride, "Then I have to go." ”
smiled and praised the monkey, but he didn't expect the smoke man to go, he said that he was idle at home and fine, just go to Guangxi for a walk, and enjoy the mountains and rivers of Guilin.
The matter of going south was decided, and the Zha family or the seventh master and Zha Ling'er went with us, and the six of us decided to go south in mid-September to find someone.
The news that the Cha family got was that someone once saw the fifth master and Tianyu who were missing an arm in a place called "Baihua Mountain" in Guangxi, so we decided to go to this Baihua Mountain first to investigate. Just hearing the name, it is as if you smell a pungent aroma.
This time we went south to find people, not to fight upside down, so we will not encounter foul-smelling zongzi and ugly ghosts, we just need to smell the fragrance of flowers all over the mountains, while admiring the good mountains and rivers, while inquiring about the news of the two of them, we can easily complete the journey south.
It is also with this more leisurely mood that I look at this journey. But I didn't expect that the elegant Seventh Master Zha had a more careful and rigorous personality than me, and before he set off, he warned everyone: "This journey will definitely not be as simple as you think." "So just in case, the seventh master of Cha was fully armed, and he carried more equipment alone than the five of us, and he explained to us: One qiē is just to be prepared. It is precisely because of the preparedness of the Seventh Master that we were able to successfully escape from danger in the face of many dangers.
As soon as we arrived in mid-September, we left Beijing and started our journey south.
On the way to the south, the scenery was beautiful and pleasant, and everyone was talking and laughing, and soon came to Guangxi.
The mountains of Guangxi are not as high as Yunnan's towering mountains. The mountains here are very gentle, the altitude is very low, the mountains are relatively short, and they are gently surrounded by water.
Before entering the mountain again, Zha Linger had to eat the special snacks of Guangxi, especially shouting that he must eat "Wuzhou Turtle Ling Paste", saying that our northerners have just arrived in the stuffy and humid south, and the body will not be able to stand it, so it is best to eat some turtle Ling paste first, which has the miraculous effect of detoxification and heat clearing. The five big men were stubborn but a little girl, so they had to accompany her to eat a lot of turtle jelly. But after eating, everyone felt that it was really good, and it was indeed a different body. Zha Ling'er took the opportunity to let us pour a stomach of "cool bitter tea" to avoid accidentally getting heat stroke or fever during the long journey.
Baihua Mountain is in the territory of Baise City, Guangxi, and when we arrived at Baihua Mountain, we found that the so-called Baihua Mountain is neither a hundred flowers nor a high mountain, only intricate hills and countless basins, and we imagined that the mountain is full of wild flowers, competing for the appearance, the difference is more than 108,000 miles.
The mountainous area can only be walked on foot, on the low undulating hills, weeds and living beings, there are nearly one person high bushes everywhere, very stuffy, but you can't open your clothes, because the mosquitoes are overwhelming, flying around the crowd wantonly, not long after entering the mountain, there is no place on the body that is not bitten, and Zha Ling'er is also complaining.
On the first day of the journey, it was really difficult for everyone to adapt to walking in the sweltering climate, and they couldn't help but feel a little dizzy and short of breath. Suddenly, I saw a banana grove in front of me, so I immediately came to my senses and said to Zha Ling'er, "I'll pick bananas for you to eat in a while, and you won't make any more noise." ”
Unexpectedly, there would be a wild banana forest in Baihua Mountain, and everyone ate sweet bananas, and they had long forgotten their depressed and tired mood.
The fat man was eating bananas and thinking about other things, and he said to the people, "There are wild pineapples here, so you should be careful when you are on your way." ”
When it comes to eating, fat people are particularly researched, and I didn't expect that there would be pineapples here. And after a long time, we learned that the bananas that were frantically picked at that time were not wild, but planted in a banana grove in the mountains.
On the hills of Baihua Mountain, there are almost no tall and dense trees, and there are low bushes. The buzzing of mosquitoes was as noisy as a bomber, and the two people who were talking to each other only heard the sound of insects, but did not hear human words, which showed how terrifying the mosquitoes in the bushes and grass were.
I really can't imagine that after dark, if everyone rests here, they must not be sucked alive by swarms of mosquitoes.
On the second watch, the team found a relatively flat place to rest with less bushes.
Before going south, Zha Linger also made a lot of effort, and deliberately brought a large and a small, two-gauze ventilation tent, she said: "The south is sweltering, and there are many mosquitoes, so I brought this kind of tent with good ventilation and mosquito prevention." ”
I praised Zha Ling'er for being a girl's heart, and the fat man said: "I think she is a pampered eldest lady who can't endure hardships and suffer crimes, so no matter where she goes, the first thing to consider is to avoid sin." ”
Zha Ling'er immediately refused to admit defeat and sneered, "I see that you are still a foodie, so no matter where you go, you will be the first to start looking for and discussing the problem of eating." ”
When I heard that they were arguing again, I immediately urged them to rest as much as they could, and not to delay their journey tomorrow.
Early in the morning, I ushered in a new day amid the incessant, hoarse screams of mosquitoes.
After the people had eaten their food, they continued on their way.
On the way, I asked the seventh master: "Seventh master, there are wild mountains everywhere here, where can we find the fifth master?" ”
The fat man also spoke: "That's it, it's not looking for a needle in a haystack!" ”
At this time, Zha Qiye took out a hand-drawn map from his arms, on which some mountains and lakes were simply drawn, and there were some dense fly-headed small characters, which seemed to be some accounts written by Zha Qiye.
The seventh master of the Zha took the map and said to me: "The person who sent the news to the Zha family only said that there is a dilapidated temple in the territory of Baihua Mountain. He only glanced at it briefly at the time, but he was very sure that the fifth brother was not wrong, but as for the specific location of the temple, he couldn't say, because for some reasons at that time, he left blindfolded, so he didn't know the exact location. However, there is only one mountain road here, and we will definitely encounter some clues as we search slowly. ”
When I heard this, I knew that it was useless to talk too much, so I could only look for it in the mountains with peace of mind. Fortunately, the Baihua Mountain here is not as cold and high as the snow-capped mountains in the Kunlun Mountains, so it doesn't take too much effort to climb. (To be continued......)
