The Age of Dawn Chapter 7 Leaving Kyoto and Heading South
Time flies, the years are like a shuttle, several degrees of red dust come and go, the peach blossoms on the human face look like memories, and unconsciously, it is another year of spring and autumn.
I thought I wouldn't be able to stay long on this Wugirl's Mountain, but I didn't expect that three years would pass in a hurry, and time was really out of the ordinary, if you didn't want it, it would rush like flowing water. Three years have passed, and I have grown a lot taller, and I am not the little one I was at the beginning, the little white fox's injury has long been healed, and I have a dazzling smooth fur, and as for the fat girl, this little thin monkey can finally be called this name, because it has eaten many bird eggs and insects in the past three years, and the nutrition is good, and the belly is about to come out.
The main peak of Wuguniang Mountain is only half a day's journey from Longjialing, and I can reach it by lifting my feet, but I have not been home once in the past three years of cold and summer, nor have I seen my father and my sister.
The old man in Tsing Yi said that I was a nuisance to people's lives, and it was best not to go home, so as not to bring disaster to my family - "stay seven feet away, and the year will not be too much". The so-called seven feet is about the measurement of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the meaning of this judgment is that once I grow to a height of almost 1.7 meters, I can't stay at home, and then I go home, and I can't stay ten days a year. This thing is really a very painful thing for me who has never been far away, I think my kind and rigid father, but also miss my mother, and I want to bring up my sister Dafeng, but this qiē is blocked by the old Taoist in Tsing Yi to tell me.
The old ghost of the mountain gathers evil patterns, and the demon is reincarnated for another life, my Chen Erdan is such a life, and I have to wander and wander in this life, and it is difficult to live in peace.
But fortunately, although the old Tao in Tsing Yi did not allow me to go home, it did not stop me from writing letters to my family.
My second child also went to school, but within two days there was a movement outside the mountain, and then the primary school in Tianjiaba was also closed, so we became wild children all over the mountains, and we were about to become blind, but after coming up the mountain, I met someone who could teach me homework. This person is not an old man in Tsing Yi, but the mysterious old ghost in the fairy mansion, I don't know if it is a ghost or not, but I know that it is the closest person to me on this mountain except for the fat girl and the little white fox.
At the beginning, the old ghost sent me a meng, taught me "Thousand Character Text", "Children's Language", "Three Character Classic", and then taught me "I Ching", "Tao Te Ching", this is the general outline, followed by "Dengzhen Hidden Formula", "Qingwei Dan Jue" and "Taishang Three Caves Divine Scroll" three, and asked me to use the two drops of essence and blood planted for me by the old Tao of Tsing Yi to learn the sense of qi, and then boil the body and practice the introductory fist and foot kung fu. I am not a stupid person, and I am always in danger of life, so I am very diligent in my studies, and I basically study all day except for three meals a day and carrying water and cleaning.
I didn't know what diligence was without experiencing hardship, and during those days on the mountain, I put almost all my energy into it, but I couldn't feel the ubiquitous "Qi" as the old ghost said—although before that, I had familiarized myself with the professor's Taoist scriptures, and although I didn't understand it, I was able to make it catchy and vivid. The old ghost told me that the reason why I couldn't feel Qi was because my consciousness was suppressed, but it didn't matter, you had two drops of essence blood on your body, and it would naturally be able to slowly transform it when the time came.
I still can't learn the Tao, but I have learned to write, and every one or two months, I will write a letter to my father, and then carry the fat girl back to Longjialing.
Because of this, I finally didn't cut off contact with my family, and they knew that I was living well in the mountains.
Three years have passed, I still don't know what the name of the old man in Tsing Yi is called, he doesn't like to talk, especially don't love, the most common thing to do is to stay in the inner room and not come out, once I accidentally walked into the inner room, just saw him in the horse step, in front of the stone case splashed ink, a pen as thick as the fat girl's arm stained with cinnabar, fragrant ash water and graphite pigments, the pen walks the dragon and snake, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, the ghost drawing on the yellow paper, the air is not the sound of the wind, the whole person of the old road in Tsing Yi is like a shining jade, Scorching its brilliance.
That was the first time I got to know the ability of the old Taoist in Tsing Yi, but the price in exchange was that I was tied to the stone pillar of the fairy cave, and I slapped my ass hard, and I couldn't walk for two days.
The old ghost in Tsing Yi knows the old ghost, and the old ghost also knows the old ghost in Tsing Yi, but the two of them will not appear at the same time, as if the king does not see the king, and they abide by a certain agreement with each other. This frightened me, and only the old ghost on the top of this mountain could talk to me and teach me, and if it ignored me, I would really cry. Fortunately, the old ghost appeared on the fourth day, as if nothing happened, and I also knew the rules, that is, study hard, don't ask anything else.
Tsing Yi Lao Dao is very busy, he sometimes stays in the inner room all day, sometimes ten days and half a month without a trace, when he comes back will bring us enough food, sometimes rice, sometimes glutinous rice, sweet potatoes, buds or other grains, not necessarily, if these are not available, he will bring some vegetarian food such as yellow essence - wild things are also available, pheasants, hares, voles, I was ten years old when he also carried a wild boar back, more than 400 catties, I was busy for more than a month, before I made bacon, and ate a whole winter.
Of course, this is when the old Taoist in Tsing Yi can't get the staple food, so he will go out to hunt prey - to be a Taoist priest like him, he is not thirsty for killing, he has good thoughts, and only when he can't live can he let his hands get bloody.
I don't know how, I was born to cook, with me, the old Taoist in Tsing Yi no longer does it, and there is no kitchen knife in the fairy mansion, he gave me a sharp little sword, and made it himself, while he washed his hands next to him. Tsing Yi old hand, slender, white, I don't know how many times a day to wash, for me, he can't say he likes, he can't say he doesn't like, it's just an item in general, but he loves to play with fat girls and little white foxes, once I heard him feel that the outside world is too chaotic, and said a sentence: "In this world, sometimes people are not as good as animals......
This is the sentence I remember the most, and later I realized that the old Taoist in Tsing Yi was completely disappointed in human nature at that time.
The main peak of Wuguniang Mountain is not a place where the old Taoist in Tsing Yi often stays, he often leaves, and will come back for a long time, I know that he seems to be looking for an old friend, it is said that the person was killed, and he seems to be ready to reincarnate and rebuild, he owes that friend a favor, and wants to protect the safety of that friend in return—he used to think that I was that person, but then I was not.
Counting the days I was born, Tsing Yi Lao Dao has been looking for more than ten years in this area, I don't know what kind of friendship can make this Tsing Yi Lao Dao who is not very good temper so insistence, but the more later, the more irritable his temper becomes, and the thing that worries me is that the old ghost appears less and less, when I first took me to the fog, it was almost every day, and then once every two days, once every three days, and then later, it will only appear once in ten days and half a month, and every time it appears in a hurry, I don't know what to do.
The last time I saw the old ghost in the Wuguniang Mountain Immortal Mansion, it was also the first time I saw it talking to the old Taoist in Tsing Yi.
At that time, I was already asleep, and suddenly I heard the edge of the bronze mirror at the door of the inner room, and the two of them were talking in a low voice, I woke up, listened with my ears pricked up, and heard the old Taoist in Tsing Yi say: "...... The man surnamed Wang came over, and it seemed that he was also looking for him, and I was afraid that if he was found in advance, I was afraid that he would have to suffer some hardships. ”
The old ghost said: "Can he come back from the secluded mansion, this is still two words, maybe the dream entrusted to you is not accurate?" ”
The old man in Tsing Yi gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "No matter, if the surnamed Wang dares to come here, I will make him look good, it's a big deal, I want to see the dog's day, it harmed his previous life, can it be that it can also harm this life?" When he had said this, he glanced toward me and went inside.
A few days later, one night, I heard thunder in the forest dozens of miles east of Wuguniang Mountain, and the whole realm was trembling.
He didn't stay long, he left with the little white fox, and told me to let me go home, and if there is a fate in the future, see you in the rivers and lakes.
