Chapter XXVII
In the living room of the bell tower, Zhong Lao at this time has completely lost the slightest laziness, but sits straight on the chair, and opposite, from high to low, there are Zhang Daniu, Ji San, and Han Nuo. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Now, I'll tell you about your mission!" The old man's serious expression at this time made Han Nuo and the others feel a little unreal, and it was difficult to connect with that lazy Taoist.
"Every day you have one person who is responsible for ringing the bell, you need to get up at the end of the day, prepare the morning bell at the beginning of the hour, and then go and prepare breakfast, and then everyone meditates together, and at the beginning of the hour, you need to ring the bell again, which is the breakfast bell, and after the bell rings, everyone can start eating. Then there is the noon clock, after which the bell rings to finish the morning's work and begin lunch, then the bell at the end of noon, and then the dinner bell rings at the end of the afternoon and the beginning of the first hour, and finally the bell at the end of the day! That is to say, the bell ringer needs to ring the bell six times a day! Little three, tomorrow I will take you to start ringing the bell of the first day!"
"I know Grandpa Zhong!" Ji San said very obediently, but a pair of eyes were cleverly observing the surroundings, and then looking at Han Nuo, there was an indescribable joy in his eyes.
"Da Niu, tomorrow your task is to go down the mountain to the dining hall where to carry the wood needed for the day and the food for four people for a day!"
"Xiaonuo, your task is to fill the water tank in that kitchen, and tomorrow Da Niu will take you to the mountain spring to fetch water. โ
After speaking, Zhong Lai led everyone to a large water tank and said: "This is a water leak, every night when the unitary clock is struck, the people in the bell tower need to hang this water leak in time, when the water in it is dripped, it will be time, and then it is time to ring the sleeping bell for sleep." โ
"Then there's the fire in the living room, each of you needs to make sure it's constantly burning!"
"Hmm!" "Remember!" Although he received two different answers and a silent nod, Zhong Lao nodded reassuringly looking at the three faces full of seriousness.
"This is your life mission!" Zhong Lao led everyone back to the living room chair and continued to sit down, and then continued to the three of them: "In addition to the tasks in life, you also have other tasks!"
"Grandpa Zhong, what is the task?" Ji Sanshuang on the side rolled his eyes and asked.
"The most important thing is that you need to be able to take the initiative to meditate and practice on your own, you all see the small building opposite our bell tower, when you can enter meditation independently, after seeing the origin of heaven and earth, you can go to that small building to receive your own inheritance, and then you can be regarded as embarking on the path!" Zhong Lao said, with a strong temptation in and out of his words. So, every day after the morning bell with me on the third floor to meditate for an hour, after breakfast, at the hour, you need to read and practice calligraphy together, when you are free, you can practice the twelve brocade method, and you can practice the eight brocades, you can also chant and practice calligraphy, in short, everything is free, after lunch, you need to meditate with me for an hour, after noon is the time for you to complete your life tasks. โ
"Finally, and the most important point is that the bell ringer must keep the time in mind, always pay attention to the sundial, and must ring the bell at a fixed time, which is related to the lives of hundreds of people in the entire Chiyun Peak, and there must be no error, you know?" Zhong Lao said at the end, his expression was serious, and his eyes were full of seriousness.
"Got it, Elder Zhong!" Han Nuo and the three of them also became serious, and said with a serious face, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
"Okay, just remember what you have in your heart!" Zhong Lao said, lying on the recliner lazily again, and then the tone of the conversation changed, and continued: "Of course, every day after dinner, you can move around left and right, you all choose to go to the hot spring room built on our Chiyun Peak to soak in the hot springs, or you can choose to visit this huge Chiyun Peak, anyway, you can allocate your own time! Of course, the bell ringer is an exception!"
Listening to Zhong Lao's words, Han Nuo and the others, who had not come back to their senses for a while, were suddenly stunned again, and then glanced at each other, a trace of joy flashed in their eyes.
"Jingle bellโ"
Suddenly, there was a doorbell ringing in the living room, which had just quieted down.
"Da Niu, you go open the door!" Zhong Lao said without raising his eyelids.
"Oh!" Zhang Daniu said, got up and ran to open the door, and after a while, he walked into the bell tower with a large package, but there was no one behind.
Closing the door and carrying the package, Zhang Daniu said: "Grandpa Zhong, it's still that Senior Brother Topaz who came outside, and he sent a big package, saying that it was our changed robe." โ
"Well, then you go back and change into the Taoist robes you sent!" Zhong Lao continued, unconsciously fiddling with the charcoal in the fire.
Han Nuo and the three of them also did not bother the elders, but opened the package and found that there were three smaller packages inside, each with a name on it.
Ji San first picked up his package with some eagerness and said, "I'll go back to change clothes first, hahaha, I finally have new clothes!"
After watching the most childish Ji San happily run back to his cabin to change clothes, Zhang Daniu also walked back to the bedroom with his own bag of clothes on his face.
Walking into the bedroom, Han Nuo closed the door, and then opened the package, which contained two sets of blue robes, as well as a white undershirt, two pairs of cloth shoes, two jade belts for his hair, and a sky blue cloak.
Feeling the temperature in the bedroom, Han Nuo took off the cotton Taoist robe and the leather underwear inside and changed into the Taoist robe sent by the Dao Palace.
After a while, a lightweight, well-fitting robe was worn on Han Nuo's body, the royal blue fabric made Han Nuo's white jade-like face tempered by the power of water and fire even more handsome, and the long black and shiny hair suddenly added a trace of elegance under the constraints of the royal blue jade belt, making Han Nuo look like a fairy.
Perhaps, the only drawback is that Han Nuo's face is too childish, and his body is too petite compared to a seven or eight-year-old boy, as if he is a five or six-year-old boy, destroying the ethereal aura on his body.
Standing in front of the foot-sized window next to the bedside of the bedroom bed, looking at the thousands of mountains and snow and thousands of miles of ice outside the window through the transparent glass, Han Nuo's heart suddenly rose a heroic spirit that soared to 90,000 miles, and gave birth to a kind of pride that would be at the top of the mountain and see the mountains at a glance.
Sure enough, the environment creates character, and the man who grew up on the top of the vast mountain has to envelop the magnificent rivers and mountains in his heart......
Standing in front of the window and glancing at the magnificent rivers and mountains again, Han Nuo turned around and walked out of the bedroom and walked towards the living room, it was time for him to hit the bell!
After walking out of the hut, Han Nuo found that Zhang Daniu and Ji San had already walked out, and they were wearing a brand-new Taoist robe to show each other at this time.
Zhang Da Niu's body is strong, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, but it is difficult to reflect the slightest ethereal atmosphere when he wears a robe on his body, coupled with that honest and honest face, Zhang Da Niu's body suddenly has a trace of stupidity, and Ji San is relatively thin and weak, and the ethereal Taoist robe is worn on his body, but there is a little more feeling of weakness and can't help the wind, and he is alive like a sick seedling, and the sick gas on his body is also lingering.
After seeing Han Nuo walking out of the bedroom, Zhang Daniu and Ji San's eyes flashed a trace of abruptness, and then, Zhang Daniu ran over as if he had discovered a new continent, and said to Han Nuo: "Xiao Nuo, how can you wear this robe?
Ji San also came to Han Nuo's face very familiarly, looked at Han Nuo carefully and said: "This Taoist robe really fits you well, are you really eight years old, I am a little low because of my congenital weak physique, what's wrong with you, you look lower than me, but your body is so good!" After speaking, he glanced at Zhang Daniu's tall and strong body with envy.
"Well, my situation is a bit special, and there is nothing wrong with growing up slowly, is concentration the essence!" Han Nuo said, looking at Ji San's rib-like body, and said unconsciously, "But your body is a little thin, it seems that you need to exercise well!"
"Exercise, how to exercise?" Ji San looked at Han Nuo and asked suspiciously, and then introduced his body somewhat calmly, "My body is an old problem, according to the old doctor, it is because my congenital essence is insufficient, and my body is weak, so my body has always been thin, and if it wasn't for the medicinal bath of my private school, I'm afraid it would be ......"
I didn't say it, but everyone knew it wasn't going to end well.
Ji San continued to say in a positive tone that contained a hint of hope in a blandness, and a positive tone that still did not give up hope after being tempered: " But fortunately, there is a private school of medicinal baths, that year's deer medicine supplement, a year of tiger medicine refining so that my body has a good recovery, you don't know, four or five years old almost bedridden, in the first year of the private school is also spent in the teacher's support, from the second year after soaking in deer medicine, my body has a lot of strength, slowly can stand up, my body is also these two years up, the original I was more yellow muscle thin, almost no flesh on the body, I heard that there is dragon medicine foundation liquid in the palace can cure my diseaseใ โ
At this time, Zhong Zhong, who had been silent, finally spoke: "Little San, you are not sick, nor is it congenital deficiency, but it is caused by acquired deficiency, your qi spirit is congenitally strong, but you do not have a good body to support, and there is a lack of effective nutritional supplements, but your qi spirit almost sucks your body across, so you are naturally suitable for practicing the way of qi, and you will have to practice the twelve brocade method more in the future, when you feel the qi sense of your dantian and the power of the origin of heaven and earth, it is when you step into the path!"
Zhong Lao, who spoke, did not stop, but continued: "Da Niu, your situation is also the same as that of Xiao San, the innate essence is sufficient, and it has not brought good results, oppressing the development of the divine soul, resulting in the lack of development of your soul, simple thinking, and straightforward temperament, so your situation is suitable for the way of refining essence, you will have to carry a lot of water and split wood to practice the eight brocades in the future! โ
In the end, Elder Zhong set his eyes on Han Nuo's body, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes: "Xiao Nuo, I also know your situation, originally your root bone talent is very suitable for ancient path cultivation, but I didn't expect that your dantian was occupied and sealed by two powerful forces of water and fire, forcing you to only step on the single-plank bridge of the way of refining gods, so you just need to meditate a lot, when you can enter your sea of consciousness and feel the origin of heaven and earth, you can also embark on the path!"
Looking at the people who were still shocked and still puzzled, Zhong Lao continued: "I know you have a lot of questions, but the rest of the topic is a bit long, you go and do your task well first, Xiaonuo, you go to ring the bell, Da Niu, you go to split wood and cook, Xiao San, you will open the water leak after ringing the bell in a while, and start the timer!"
"Yes, Grandpa Zhong!: Han Nuo and the three of them could only suppress the doubts, anxieties, and strong desire for knowledge in their hearts, and began to do their own work one by one.
