Chapter 66: A Dream of Huangliang
The sky is bright, and in this land that seems to have just woken up, the hard-working people have already started the busy work of the day.
Last night, in the center of Yunmengze, it was something that many people remembered in their hearts for a lifetime. Those who eat whole grains meet the food and drink dew, just like the cicadas that come out of the mud and see the eagle soaring in the sky.
There was a large group of thousands of people who had not been gathered, and they set out on the road to Yilan Mountain at the dawn. They were so uniform, and everyone had a smile of hope on their faces.
"Hurry up, didn't you see this big group of people set off, we're falling behind."
"Oh, okay, it's not time yet, what's the hurry."
"Wang Jiaxiang, Wang Jiaxiang, you let me say what is good about you. This fairy fate has slapped you in the face, but you are good, and you want to cover your head and sleep lazily first. It's really in response to the old saying, mud can't hold up the wall. ”
"Zhang Changwang, you should accumulate some virtue in the morning, don't say so ugly."
The man named Zhang Changwang turned around and pulled Wang Jiaxiang's sleeve and dragged him forward.
Wang Jiaxiang shook off Zhang Changwang's hand and said, "Hey, hey, you light, don't tear my sleeves." I'll tell you, I'm left with such a no-hole garment. If you tear it up, how can I see the old fairy on the Blue Mountain? Be careful. ”
"You still know that you are going to Yilan Mountain to apprentice, I thought you forgot. But you know that you are still in bed, what's the matter, your brain is confused? Zhang Changwang pointed at Wang Jiaxiang's head and said.
This Changwang hand was strong, and Wang Jiaxiang was so pointed back by him that he screamed in pain.
Wang Jiaxiang covered his head and shouted at Zhang Changwang: "Hey, I said, you pig killer treat me as your pig." I'm telling you, don't do it again. Otherwise, I, I'm really going to turn my face with you kid. ”
Zhang Changwang sneered and mocked Wang Jiaxiang: "Just you, you look at your own virtue, if you can't find a mirror, just sweep the bubble and take a picture." In our village, I am the only one who will take care of you. It's not for the sake of the two of us rolling in the mud together, that I don't bother to care about you. You want to turn your face with me, come on, I've been annoying you kid for a long time. ”
"Hehe, Lao Zhang, look at what you said, I'm not kidding you. Who is with whom of our brothers, do you say no? Not really, not really, ah. Wang Jiaxiang said with a smile.
"Alright, let's not talk nonsense, we need to catch up with them. At this time, we are at least half an hour late. Zhang Changwang glanced at Wang Jiaxiang, turned around and beckoned.
Wang Jiaxiang answered, followed Zhang Changwang, and the two of them rushed forward together.
Just walked more than a mile, Wang Jiaxiang looked at the figure in front of him and didn't see anyone, so he said with a little humility: "I said, we have all walked so far, why haven't we seen them yet?" Lao Zhang, we can't be on the wrong path, right? ”
Zhang Changwang snorted coldly in front of him and responded to him: "What, are you in a hurry now?" Hmph, I called you in the morning, but after calling for a long time, I didn't see you in a hurry? Shut up, you, it's better to rush with all your heart and talk nonsense. Isn't it just the Blue Mountain, can I still go wrong? When I was a child, we didn't run around a lot, and when we were twenty years older, we forgot to leave? Joke. ”
Wang Jiaxiang walked forward a little faster, and walked forward with Zhang Changwang.
He looked at Zhang Changwang and said, "Hey, that's what I said." It's always right to be cautious, we can see the way clearly, and we can make sure that nothing goes wrong, right? ”
"We're more than half an hour late, and we can't even catch the ghost behind the buttocks of that big group. What else are you looking at, hurry. Zhang Changwang glanced at Wang Jiaxiang and said.
This Zhang Changwang and Wang Jiaxiang happened to be farmers living in a village near Yilan Mountain, and they were so familiar with Yilan Mountain that they couldn't be more familiar. It's like the boatman next to Yun Mengze is extremely familiar with Yun Mengze, and the two of them can walk to the foot of Yilan Mountain even if they close their eyes.
Since the arrival of the hour, Zhang Changwang and Wang Jiaxiang have come to the present, and it has been half an hour. At this time, as long as they raised their heads, the Blue Mountain came into view. With a little more effort, the two of them will be able to climb the Blue Mountain.
On the road, only birds were heard, and as soon as they approached Yilan Mountain, the surroundings of the two of them began to be lively.
"Look, isn't that the same person we met in Yunmengze last night? Now, do you still think we're on the wrong track? Zhang Changwang pointed ahead.
Glancing at the place Zhang Changwang was pointing to, Wang Jiaxiang was overjoyed, and said to Zhang Changwang with a serious face: "Tsk, Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, what are you talking about, how can I doubt you." The two of us grew up together, and the person I trust the most is you. ”
"Yo, what you say sounds fresh to me, won't you doubt me? That's not what you kid said. Zhang Changwang squeezed his eyebrows and said.
"Oops, you're mistaken, you must be wrong. Alright, alright, let's not talk about that, hurry up and join them, go, go, go. Wang Jiaxiang pointed to the front and shook his head.
The two walked quickly to Yilan Mountain and reunited with everyone.
After seeing Zhang Changwang and Wang Jiaxiang coming, everyone greeted them with a smile.
Zhang Changwang and Wang Jiaxiang also greeted them: "Fortunately, fortunately." ”
"Fortunately, fortunately, the two of you are polite."
"Hahaha, polite, polite, in the future, everyone will be brothers, don't see each other like this."
Zhang Changwang smiled and greeted everyone: "Oh, the two of us are late, I'm really embarrassed." After entering the division, you will all be our senior brothers. ”
"Hahaha, this brother is serious, what a senior brother and a younger brother, it's all a family."
At this time, on the other side of them, on the top of Yilan Mountain, many people had been waiting for almost an hour.
"Hey, isn't this Song Erlang, hahaha, I thought I was the first to come, but I didn't expect that Song Gongzi was the first." Yang Laosan greeted with a smile.
"Yang Laosan, why are you so late. Also, I wasn't the first to come, the early ones were there. Song Erlang pointed to the side and smiled.
At this time, there are many people who are familiar with each other on the summit of Yilan Mountain. Even the people who had some friction on Yunmeng just last night, such as the poor scholar and the rude man, were also laughing and chatting.
When it was almost there, it could also be said that it was still a lot worse than the time, and thousands of people climbed Yilan Mountain one after another. Everyone was waiting for the old immortal who came from the mountain with an excited face, and they all looked forward to being accepted by the old immortal under the door, and from now on they would be a person who cultivated immortals and asked.
However, when they waited on the top of the mountain for almost half an hour, they did not see a single person coming.
For a while, there was some commotion among the crowd.
"Stop arguing, be quiet."
An older middle-aged man raised his hands and said, "All of them are waiting with peace of mind, looking at your current appearance, it's really unusual." I know you are all anxious, and I am also anxious, but these are all tests, tests given to us by the old gods. Only by withstanding this test can we worship under the old gods. Xiu Xian asked, the most important thing is patience, let's wait quietly. ”
What he said made sense, and everyone listened to it and waited with peace of mind.
But patience is not something that lasts long, like water basking in the sun. It looks like there are a lot of them, but when they slowly evaporate, they will notice it and eventually disappear.
After noon, everyone couldn't bear it.
Among them, some of them didn't eat breakfast or even drink water in order to catch up with the immortals, so they ran to Yilan Mountain. By now, it was time for lunch, but they didn't eat a grain of rice, they didn't drink a drop of water, and they couldn't stand it.
"I said, how long will it take? Why didn't that old fairy come yet? ”
"Wait, wait."
In order to show their sincerity, these thousands of people all stood and waited for the immortals. Nowadays, many people can't stand it and are so tired that they sit on the ground.
The sun was shining in the sky, and everyone was sweating and exhausted.
Uneasiness was accompanied by doubt, and in the hearts of the people, they were all afraid, afraid that hope would turn into disappointment. As a result, many people were angry. Even though they are constantly being persuaded to be at ease and to choose to believe, their anger is getting stronger and stronger.
Finally, some stood up and said angrily: "Fake, all fake, there are no old immortals from the mountain at all." We are all lied to, we are all fools. ”
"Bold, you, how dare you talk nonsense here."
"You say I'm talking nonsense? Joke, am I talking nonsense? You all touch your hearts and say, am I talking nonsense? Do any of you dare to stand up and say that you have been deceived? ”
"Yes, and me, Lao Tzu also thinks that we have all been deceived."
"Count me in, I think so. How can there be such a good thing, accept everyone as apprentices in vain, and accept so much at once you accept apprentices. ”
"That's right, it's said that the apprentices will be accepted at the right time, and they won't wait for the time to become obsolete, but what about now? The sun was starting to set, and we didn't see a single person coming. Isn't that a lie? ”
"But why lie to us? What are we to deceive? ”
"To fool us, think we're fun."
"The kid in the yellow robe last night must be some kind of rich son, he was bored, so he came up with such an idea to play with us."
"Yes, it must be."
"Everyone listens to me, we have so many people now, why don't we go and search the mountains to have a look. Maybe you can find some clues. ”
"Yes, that's right, Soushan."
At the suggestion of one of them, thousands of people began to search the mountains in unison.
It's a pity that everyone didn't find anything suspicious until Shen Shi.
Of course, if you really want to talk about it, Yilan Mountain has already changed.
The stockade is gone, the torches are gone, and the stone hall is gone. Zhao Fan, Wu Fuxi, Chief Yang Guan, Monk with a Back Knife, and Gongsun Cheng were all gone. As early as last night, after Fang Shuo came, there was nothing left here, and it was all emptied.
"Damn, it's a waste of a day's work."
"Liars, all liars."
"What do you see, you poor scholar, the toad wants to eat swan meat, I really think that I can reach the sky in one step, dreaming."
"You, huh."
No longer expecting immortals to collect apprentices, many people have gone down the mountain, and only some unwilling ones are left, and they are still waiting on the top of the mountain for a while. But when the sun was about to set, they were gone.
In the end, Zhang Changwang and Wang Jiaxiang were left.
The two of them sat on the rocks, watching the sunset on the horizon, leaning together in a daze.
After staying for a while, Wang Jiaxiang asked, "Lao Zhang, you say, will we have a dream?" ”
"How can thousands of people dream together, and they still have the same dream." Zhang Changwang shook his head and said softly.
Wang Jiaxiang sighed and said, "Why not, aren't everyone dreaming of cultivating immortals and seeking the Tao?" ”
