Chapter Ninety-Three: Dabi (2)
In the cave, a trace of worry flashed in Han Nuo's eyes, there were already a hundred people, but Ji San, his junior brother Chen Deng, and the silent Chen Xiaoqi did not come up, did they give up?
This is, the mouth of the cave changed light and shadow for a while, and then, a Taoist slowly walked into the cave. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Taoist is dressed in a green robe, and his young appearance is ethereal, as if he is an immortal who will return by the wind at any time!
"Wake up!" The Taoist opened his mouth slightly, and a voice like Huang Zhong Da Lu echoed in the cave, as if it was a slap in the face, which woke everyone up, but it did not disrupt everyone's cultivation in the slightest, so he naturally reaped the merits!
"Everyone, congratulations on your qualification to participate in the 'Immortal Yuan Competition', and now, you can go with me to the place where the competition will be held!" said the Taoist, waving his right hand, and on the wall of the cave, a silver-white round door appeared in a trance, releasing a faint silver light like water waves.
Looking at this familiar scene, Han Nuo unconsciously recalled the experience of coming over to participate in the initiation ceremony four years ago!
"Let's go!" said the man, leading the way into the door of light.
After everyone crossed the light gate in turn, they appeared on the top of a hill, on the top of the hill the builder is not a very big square, around the square, the builder four small mountain roads are distributed on all sides of the square!
"This is the Four Seasons Peak, there are four courtyards on the mountainside, they are the Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter Four Seasons Garden, the courtyards in the spring and autumn seasons are all male disciples, and the courtyards in the summer and winter seasons are all female crowns, if you disciples have nothing to do, try not to go out, just wait for the start of the first day of September!" After the Taoist introduced, he said to Han Nuo and the others: "Okay, I'll take you to the Xiyuan Autumn Courtyard, wait a minute, the disciples of the Beiyuan Winter Courtyard will arrive!"
After the man finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the mountain road to the west.
On the way, everyone silently followed the Taoist down the mountain, followed the mountain road, and came to a small courtyard.
Walking into the courtyard, it was very natural, the Taoist assigned thirty people, pointed to the thirty people, pointed to the path on the east side of the courtyard and said: "There is a huge courtyard at the end of the north path, there are thirty huts in it, you can choose for yourself, after choosing, you can open the house with the task jade pendant, go!"
Then, the Taoist looked at the remaining seventy people, and drew it with one hand, and thirty of them unconsciously stood up, "You go to the south path, where is there a room for thirty people, go and choose for yourself!"
Finally, the Taoist said to the remaining forty people: "You go straight, there are forty huts at the end of the road, where can you go to rest, on the first day of the ninth month, I will inform you to go to the top of the peak to participate in the big competition!"
After the Taoist finished speaking, he walked out of the courtyard gate on the west side of the courtyard regardless of it and went to his own cave mansion!
In the courtyard, acquaintances who were familiar with each other among the hundreds of people found their partners and chatted with each other!
Han Nuo, Da Niu, Yun Xi, and Yun Hu were all assigned to the north lane, and the four of them gathered together and walked towards the end of the path while chatting!
"Hey, I don't know what happened to the three of them!" Han Nuo was the first to speak, and at this time, she was still worried about Ji San, Chen Deng, and Chen Xiaoqi, who had not arrived.
"If your mind is not resolute, you still need to sharpen it!" Yunxi on the side obviously thought of his junior brother Ji San, and said indifferently.
......
A few people talked as they walked down the path.
Every time he walked out, Han Nuo had a different feeling, and after a while, several people came to the small courtyard that the person said, it was a big courtyard, and there were three rows of houses built in the courtyard, each row of houses had ten doors, and this one window after another!
Han Nuo and the others casually walked to a door, put the task jade pendant in a hollow on the wooden door, and the wooden door opened automatically without a sound!
"I'm going to rest first!" Han Nuo said to Da Niu and the others before walking into the cabin.
The cottage, really small, didn't even have a bed!
The hut was only about ten square meters, with a tall bookshelf on one side, a low table in the middle, and on the right side were washing utensils and strange things, and on the wall facing the door, there was a big word 'quiet'!
Han Nuo let go of his mind, hung his package on the wall, then washed his face, took out a Taoist classic from the bookshelf on the left, and sat on the futon and read it quietly.
Yunhu, Da Niu, and Yunxi also chose a hut at random and walked in, but they didn't come out for a long time, and obviously they began to read and meditate slowly!
......
At the same time, on the other side, the mighty losers also returned all the way back to Shangqingguan!
When I went, I had that pressure, I walked for three days as fast, and seven or eight days as I walked slowly, and when I came back, there was no such huge pressure, and it was only half a day!
At this time, Ji San, Chen Xiaochi, and Chen Deng were still together, Ji San and Chen Xiaoqi's faces were full of regret and a hint of shame, but Chen Deng was still very calm.
"I didn't expect it to be like this? Isn't this a pit man?" Ji San complained a little angrily: "Who would have thought that the distant mountain road turned out to be an illusion, I climbed more than half of it, and almost walked into the cloud and mist area, and I vaguely saw the endless mountain road, and Xiaonuo who was resting on the mountain road, and actually lied to me?"
"I, I regret it too!" Chen Xiaoqi also gave up his usual silence at this time, and poured bitter water with Ji San: "This is pockmarked is not called pockmark, it is called a pit, I have walked into the clouds, and then I feel that all kinds of reasons for giving up are coming one after another, and then my brain twitches and I agree with those views, and then I retreat! I, I, I'm just three steps away!" Chen Xiaoqi said, wanting to cry without tears!
"The last person is really shit lucky, if we don't give up...... Ji San and Chen Xiaochi hooked their shoulders and complained, but they didn't expect to directly find Chen Deng's scolding, who had been very calm.
"Nonsense!" Chen Deng gently reprimanded: "To give up is to give up, no matter what the reason is, it is to give up! However, whether we give up or not, we must not lose our mentality and complain loudly here! Let alone use this to envy and slander other people who have not given up!"
Chen Deng looked at the two Ji San and Chen Xiaoqi who finally quieted down, and continued: "Those successful people, that is the happy fruit that people have in exchange for perseverance, we have no qualification to be jealous and slanderous, we give up the people who fail, that is the bitter fruit that we do not firmly plant, we can only swallow the bitter fruit quietly, we have no qualification to complain, that is the bitter fruit we planted ourselves, we must swallow it ourselves!"
As he spoke, Chen Deng fell silent, tilted his head slightly, and strode forward, but tears flashed in his eyes!
Looking at Chen Deng, who was walking in front, Ji San and Chen Xiaoqi did not exchange glances with each other, but lowered their heads and thought carefully.
Listen to the slight whining and jealousy around you...... Ji San and Chen Nuo felt unprecedentedly harsh, losers, what qualifications do they have to slander those who succeed?
The wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, the pile out of the shore, the flow will be turbulent, the line is higher than the people, the crowd will not be!
This is the truth, the most rational saying! However, people with lofty ideals and benevolence will regret what they have done and will lose what they have done?
In other words, our complaints and slanders are just a stepping stone to fame for those who are ambitious and benevolent! You are wasting time in complaining and slandering, and they are cherishing every minute and every second of their time to fulfill their ambitions and achieve their own fame......
Therefore, even if you can't be the one who is higher than the people now, you can't be the one who must be the one who is not the one, because the one is destined to be in the bottom in the end!
......
"Uncle!(Senior Brother Chen Deng), we were wrong!" The two who figured it out turned their heads together and honestly admitted their mistakes to Chen Deng, who was walking in front.
"It's just human nature!, but since we have embarked on this path to becoming an immortal and embarked on the path of cultivation, then we must learn to control ourselves!" Chen Deng said, silent again!
After everyone returned to Shangqingguan, some monks who wanted to return to the mountain were directly arranged to board the deer cart and fly back to their own mountain gate, while those who wanted to become spectators were rearranged to live in a small courtyard, waiting for the arrival of the first day of September.
......
On the first day of September, the sky was slightly bright.
Dangdangdang -
The clock was struck, listening to the familiar bell, Han Nuo slowly opened his eyes, got up, washed, and then habitually sorted out the scriptures on the low table and put them back on the bookshelf, and then opened another one!
However, when Han Nuo sat down and was just about to start reading, a girl who seemed to be a pearl falling on a jade plate sounded in the ears of everyone in the small courtyard: "The first day of the ninth month, the fairy fate is bigger, start!"
Han Nuo stopped what he was doing, slowly stood up, packed up the scripture book that had just been opened on the low table, turned around and walked out of the hut.
In the courtyard, everyone still came out, and Han Nuo was one of the last few people!
After rounding in the compound, Han Nuo and the others walked out of the compound and climbed along the mountain road towards the platform at the top of the mountain.
At the same time, there are also three streams of people climbing up to the cave on the southeast, north and south sides of the Four Seasons Peak!
In the four Shangqing Temples in the four cities of Zhongnan Mountain, a large number of monks were gathered to sit cross-legged in the backyard of the Shangqing Temple, staring closely at an illusory scene in the middle of the courtyard, which was a semi-illusory stereo projection of the Four Seasons Peak, and the four teams could be displayed clearly on the projection, which is the meaning of being an audience!
......
On the Four Seasons Peak, the four teams finally climbed to the summit square.
In the center of the square, there are twelve Taoist priests sitting facing the four directions, and there are three Taoists in each direction, and in front of each Taoist there is a musical instrument, a five-stringed piano, a guzheng, a pipa, a bell, and a small bell......
"You sit cross-legged in the four squares" At this time, after watching everyone come up, the clear and pleasant voice sounded again, "The first competition will start immediately!"
After everyone sat down, the twelve people picked up their musical instruments in unison, and recited softly in their mouths: "In front of the Shangqing Zixia Void Emperor, the Jade Chenjun of Taishang Dao, the idle Ruizhu made seven words, and the five shapes were scattered and turned into ten thousand gods...... on"
At the same time, the instruments in his hands moved in unison......
With the recitation of the "Huang Ting Jing", the cyan light spread from the center to the entire square, and gradually, everyone began to unconsciously or frown, as confused and contemplative, or eyebrows and smiles, as if suddenly realized...... And so on and so forth.
......
In the sky, several figures of Daoists sat cross-legged in the void, communicating with each other: "I don't know if there are many people who can hold on!"
"This is the sound of enlightenment, and it is also a huge opportunity, why bother with how many people can hold on, just do whatever you want!"
"yes, that's right!"
......
Han Nuo listened to the "Huang Ting Jing" in his ears, his mind was peaceful, and he recited in his mouth, "There is a soul and a lower Guan Yuan, the left is Shaoyang and the right is Taiyin......"
Gradually, Han Nuo seemed to have returned to the days when he suppressed distracting thoughts with the "Huang Ting Sutra"! Gradually, the scriptures turned into cyan characters in the dantian, and slowly sank into the yin god, from the surface to the inside, and went deep into the bone marrow......
