Chapter 42: True and False

The rain fell, and the mist was hazy.

While going over the mountains and mountains, he has seen many dangerous and desperate situations in the eyes of ordinary people, and occasionally he can encounter a few old medicines, he picked and chose only those that he had not seen in the side, and was curious about the pharmacology of these herbs.

Climbing over the Fengcang Mountains, Chen Yu has another towering mountain in front of him.

The clouds are deep and the fog is dense, and the trees are flourishing.

Chenshan Mansion is already mountainous, according to passers-by, there are two famous mountains further east, not high and steep, but not bad for him.

Today, in addition to the necessary hurry, Chen Yu rarely uses the technique of riding the wind and turning the rainbow, measuring the earth step by step with a pair of feet, he looks in all directions, and the mountains, rivers, stones and trees are in full view.

Step by step, the mood seems to be precipitated, the way of practice is to entrust words and deeds, dining Lingxia is practice, sitting and standing action is also practice, including wild fishing, mountain climbing, collecting medicine and refining medicine, etc.

No longer utilitarian and deliberate, only look at the water and soil under your feet and the novel world above the earth with the naked eye.

Every animal or beast he has never seen, every strange plant, can make him happy.

The untouchable heart gradually completes, and a trace of natural rhyme flows outside the body, and joy lingers on the side.

……

In the wild, Du Gu cried endlessly.

At this moment when the evening was approaching, a sudden rain curtain interrupted the footsteps of the two fathers and sons of the Chen family...... They are all tied tightly with a cloth bag and carried around their waists.

"Huh! Look, Dad, there's a fire ahead! ”

As the sun set, the mountains were empty, Chen's father raised his eyebrows, only to say that his honest and honest son was wrong, he had run this land for many times, and it was clear where there was a mountain temple and a land shrine nearby.

And this area under his feet is obviously a three-ignorance, barren and lonely, except for two or three jackals and wild dogs in ordinary days, even a movable one is rare, only a large tree branches are luxuriantly rooted here, casting a large shadow.

However, when he followed the prestige, he was shocked, and saw that in the shade of the mountains and trees, in a dim and dim field of vision, there was a fire scorching, which could not be more conspicuous under the black sky.

But the outcasts? Chen's father is worried that in recent times, there has been an increasing number of people who have come from all over the world, some of them are honest, and with the help of the villagers, they have reclaimed wasteland to live, and there are also many idle people, so that more than a dozen nearby villages cannot live in peace.

It's just that this place is far away from the mountains, and there are hardly any people, and it is close to the mountains, and wild beasts are infested from time to time, so I don't know what these homeless people are doing here.

Gollum, the young man on the side swallowed, he didn't know that his father was already thinking about how to deal with these guys who were likely to be homeless, his mind was active, and when he was young, he and his playmates in the village liked those rural sayings the most, and the gods and ghosts were the most attractive.

"Daddy...... Dad, where is there a fire in this wilderness, deep in the mountains and old forests? Don't be ......"

Syllable! A slap on the shoulder made the latter slap him spin. Seeing this, Chen's father looked helpless, they are also known as 'jade disciples', it is common to go in and out of the mountains, forests and rivers, although there are many rules, worship gods and ghosts but far away, and the courage is too small.

This kid has a fast brain and quick hands and feet, otherwise he wouldn't have been taken up the mountain early to find jade, but his courage is a little lacking, Chen's father is moved, and he wants to find some opportunities for him to experience and experience.

As everyone knows, the father next to him has added a lot of things to himself because of one sentence.

"Let's go, go take a look, and take two inches out of Dingshan incense and light it."

After walking for two steps, looking at the young man who was in a hurry for a while and then blew two pillars of purple incense, Father Chen thought about it, and looked at the fire light that was faintly in the dense forest in the distance, pulling out a ghostly shadow, and couldn't help but resurface his son's words just now, and he was stunned for a moment, and his body was cold after the cold wind blew.

"Forget it, this place is really remote, and the homeless people may not be able to come, and there are more jackals without food or drink......"

After thinking about it for a thousand times, Father Chen fumbled in the cloth bag for a while, and took out two Xiulu Xiuyu with red ropes.

Polished into a tiger-shaped, the mane can be seen clearly, it is very fine, and it took a lot of financial resources from Chen's father Aya to invite a jade worker to make it specially.

"Take it, tie it to your wrist!"

Handing Xiuyu to the young man, Father Chen looked at his gradually panicked face, square and resolute, and he was carved out of the same mold as when he was young, and they were all handsome young people from ten miles and eight towns.

So he comforted a few words in a soothing tone, after all, he has been in the industry for so many years, no matter how legendary some ancestors are, anyway, he has not seen the mountain god once.

After a few words, he pressed the red rope outward and the index finger on the tail of the jade tiger, and the majestic tiger's head opened its bloody mouth and faced the front.

After going through all the various deviations taught to him by his father, Father Chen settled down and led the young man to cautiously approach the direction of the fire.

Bang!

The thunder rolled, the dark clouds were layered on top of each other, as if the next moment was about to fall heavy rain, the two did not dare to delay, there were dozens of miles of mountain roads from the village where they were located, and they were really wet by the rain and got sick, and the back part of the road was not so easy to walk.

So the pace quickened a little, and at this time, I didn't care if there were really mandrill ghosts.

Bypassing the trees, stepping over the weeds, and walking through the rocks, the two followed suit, and soon became enlightened.

Whew-

The warm breeze is warm and refreshing.

This is...... Father Chen's footsteps paused, and the young man behind him was even more wide-eyed and dumbfounded.

But in front of the two of them, an exquisite wooden house is quietly sitting, with a wooden table next to it, and a few steps further away, you can see the flourishing flower garden, and the fragrance fills the nose, which makes people relax.

The firelight seen outside bloomed from a position not far from the stone table, and when Chen's father looked at it, he only saw a bonfire made of wooden blocks, crackling, licking and licking, rising from time to time, and then dissipating in an instant, leaving a warm warmth like the sun.

"Two?"

A gentle inquiring voice came back to their senses.

Chen's father couldn't think about why there was suddenly an extra wooden house in this remote place, it seemed that someone had settled here, and his eyes were long, as if he saw about two acres of fields behind the wooden house, on which he was planted with unknown green crops.

Is it a delusion...... He rubbed his eyes, as if for some reason he saw the green crops glowing.

"What's wrong with the two of you?"

The sound of inquiry came again, and only then did the two realize that there was already a person standing beside them.

What a handsome junior!

As soon as they saw it, they all admired it in their hearts, and when they saw the inexplicably kind faces of the other party, the tense strings in the hearts of Chen's father and son unconsciously became relaxed.

Click!

A clear green jade stone carved with a tiger's head fell from his loose palm, and Father Chen looked down, stunned for a moment, as if something was blurry for a moment.

After a while, he picked it up with a low waist, shook his head and smiled, when did he take this thing out.

With it in his arms, he looked at the very kind Qingpao Junsheng again, smiling as if nothing had happened just now, and bowed his hand to say hello.

"We are jade apprentices who are looking for jade and digging at the bottom of the mountain, our ancestors are here, this time we went to a riverside to dig for jade, and saw a fire in the forest, thinking that the homeless people came forward to explore in order to hide from the rain."

Father Chen, who didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his statement, continued, "It's the first time I've seen the Taoist, and in this open field, there is a wooden house and a field quietly, and the hunters in the village who often go into the mountains don't know it. ”

On the other side, the Taoist waved his hand when he heard the words, offered clear water to the two, and then explained his origin. At this time, the two also knew that this was not what they had guessed before, but a wandering Taoist priest.

"Haha, so that the Taoist chief knows, my stupid boy thought that there were mountain spirits and ghosts in this place at first, and he was so scared that he didn't dare to move!"

The Taoist nodded: "In the secluded and remote mountain forest, there is suddenly an open space, and there are acres of wooden houses, no matter how you look at it, it is unusual." ”

Immediately, he added with a soft smile, "But there are no weird things in the world, it is too difficult to enlighten the spirit between heaven and earth, and the spirituality between Sichuan Ze is extremely thin, unless there is a big opportunity, there will be no psychic things naturally born for a long time." ”

The two people in front of them looked at each other, and they didn't understand the words of the Taoist, but Father Chen didn't think much about it, after all, there were many people chattering with gods and gods, and the Taoist in front of him looked like a generation of Taoist masters, and it was estimated that what he was talking about was advanced Taoism, and it was common for him to be a vulgar person in the countryside who didn't understand.

Glancing at his stupid son, who was also stupid, Chen's father suddenly had the idea of letting him go to the city to study in a private school.

The family has more than enough money, and not every time there is a harvest in the search for jade, but it only needs to be opened once in a month or two, and the money obtained can make a family of five worry about food and clothing for more than half a year.

The young man was talking to this Taoist who made him feel close and fond at the moment, and most of the words were what he had seen and heard in the mountains in recent years, as well as the shortcomings of the parents in the village, or which girl was handsome, which made him feel good.

Syllable!

"Good bastard! I still think about Uncle Wang's little Yuer, I don't know in the past. ”

Xiao Yu'er in the village has already had a marriage contract, and now she is about to get married.

Chen's father beats, and the young man quibbles that this is just a young Mu Ai, but he was so frightened that he hurriedly dodged.

The Taoist smiled and groaned, watching the interaction between the two, the young man held his head and looked aggrieved, while Chen's father chattered and talked constantly, sometimes counting all kinds of frizz, and sometimes praising his quick mind and studiousness. also said that he should hurry up and tell him about his family, and only with concern can he become stable.

Since the death of the young Aya, the two have not communicated like this for a long time, and at this moment, the little thing of stealing chickens and dogs behind their backs is shaken out in one breath, and the atmosphere between father and son is 'harmonious' for a while.

Time passed, and the Taoist asked some about the customs of this place, most of the time the two of them were saying, there are all kinds of things in the south and the north of the world, and even Chen's father has told him about his own method of finding jade and picking jade, and some of the stories passed on by word of mouth in the jade apprenticeship made the Taoist quite interested.

"Chen Jushi's method of jade picking is really mysterious, and the twelve-character golden recipe has a bit of a sense of feng shui secret arts, and I think my ancestors have some inheritance."

"Where, where."

Unconsciously, after a long time, the Taoist sent the two out, the sky was bright, the two looked around and suddenly found that it was already three poles, and they and others were sitting at the wooden table and talking all night!

Not the slightest bit tired!

"Dao Chief, your place is really good, the birds are singing and the flowers are pleasant to look at, and the clear water, I feel that a cup of lower stomach is full of strength, as if I can dig dozens of catties of mountain jade."

Speaking of this, Father Chen shook his head and sighed again.

"If it weren't for what Dao Changling said was really reasonable, there would be no ghosts in this world at all, I'm afraid I would have thought ...... Thought it was ......"

"Dad, what's wrong? Why don't you go? ”

Father Chen didn't ask, he just turned his head sideways, and his eyes glared-

The mountains and forests are as shady as ever, the shade of the trees is swaying, the ground is wet, and the four fields are misty.

There is no open space!

No cabins, no flower beds, no fields!

There are no Taoists either.

Bushes and trees filled the field of vision, and there was not even a trace of a campfire.

It was clear that he had personally thrown a few pieces of wood into the fire last night, although the wood looked green and slippery to the touch, as if it was jade, but after many years of jade mining, he could conclude that it was not jade.

Besides, how could jade be ignited.

Thinking about it carefully, Father Chen remembered a little bit, and the fire didn't seem to be red, but indigo.

Hiss!!

"Daddy! Dad, don't scare me! Why is the face still white and red for a while, it's been a night, and if you don't go back, you can't help but say according to your mother's temper. ”

Looking at the honest son who was still muttering about how to face the anger of his mother, Chen's father was speechless and choked.

Inexplicably, the panic in my heart has dissipated a lot, and the two of them have come out completely, presumably he is also a kind-hearted person.

"On the bright side, at least it didn't rain."

Can't you say that this is just to make them redundant?

Shaking his head and chuckling, Father Chen didn't believe it himself, but it didn't matter how it was, he took the young man and continued to walk on the mountain road home, and as he was walking, an object fell out of his arms.

It was the Jade Tiger that was put away.

"Powerful powers......"

He couldn't remember how he put it away, and as for the evil warding effect that his ancestors had said, he hadn't seen it this time.

With a pout, Father Chen felt that he should no longer take a piece of high-grade warm jade to re-carve it, compared to the tiger, it was really more useful than the Daomen True Monarch.

……

Behind, a fresh breeze was sent, allowing the two to walk smoothly down the slippery mountain road, and accidentally harvested a few old medicines on the way, and the two were happy. Before going down the mountain, Chen's father turned around and bowed in the young man's puzzled eyes.

"Dad, what's wrong with you? How do you feel that we have become quaint and strange after hiding in the rain in the tree hole all night. ”

The young man said, and lamented that he was really lucky to find such a warm and spacious tree hole.

"Well, let's go back."

Chen's father glanced at his son, and saw that the other party looked happy, and he didn't know his son's thoughts after talking all night.

So he said: "Hu'er, you are not young anymore, you should start a family." ”

"Huh?"

Like thunder, the young man froze in place.

On the other side, Chen's father thought about it, and after a night of thinking, a certain thought in his heart became more and more deep, "It's okay not to become a biological son so early, go to a private school in the city, and study for a few years with a gentleman." ”

"Daddy! I don't take the top prize! ”

"Reading is reasonable, we can't let our old Chen family always be a life that depends on the sky to eat, okay, it's decided."

After two steps, he paused, and continued, "I heard that the apprentice wants to send something, it seems to be called a bundle, and this expense will be deducted from your harvest this time. ”

“…… Daddy, where did the child mess with you? ”

Looking at it with a smile, Father Chen slapped the other party's head, "Tell you to worry!" ”

The young man with a puzzled face hugged his head and scurried.

……

In the sky, in the clouds.

Chen Yu glanced at the two people who were gradually moving away, and then turned around and returned to the floating field.

If they could go up here, they would see that the scenery here was the same as last night.

After coming to the wooden house, in a hazy light was a spiritual field full of medicinal plants. He looked at it for a moment, looking helpless.

"It seems that the Xuanyang Void Sensing Technique combined with the Wonders of the Landscape to brew the way of 'mapping the present world' is still a little flawed."

In fact, what seems false to others is all in the spectacle, and it is no different from the truth. But the line between truth and falsehood is too blurred, just as when the spectacle is hidden and closed, everything comes to naught.

It is also true and false, it is difficult to say what is true.

After reading it, with a wave of his hand, everything was shattered. Only one wooden house remains, standing alone on a floating field.

At this moment, looking at the suddenly empty scenery in front of him, Chen Yu had a little more understanding of the changes between reality and reality.
