Chapter 21: The Old Man of Peachtree's Request

When the first rays of the sun shine on the earth in the morning, Shui Sheng has already picked up a scroll of scriptures and chanted on the top of the mountain, the top of the mountain looks at the sea waves, the clouds and mist between the mountains, the early birds chirp happily in the mountains and forests, and there are fairy birds going back and forth between heaven and earth, or majestic, soaring in the sky, or extremely beautiful and unforgettable. There are many fairy trees, strange flowers, and different grasses in the mountains and forests. It makes you feel like you're in a fairyland.

Especially when the sun rises and everything recovers, all kinds of visions come to fruition. Surfacing yourself in nature adds a unique touch. Got up early, and wore a blue Taoist robe today, although it was a linen coarse coat with a pure yang scarf, it looked fairy-style, and there was a charm of a merry scholar in it.

Holding a volume of "Huang Ting Jing" in his hand, or reciting it loudly, his voice is full of emotion, or he mutters in a low voice and moves people. Emotional department hundred birds echoed. High in the depths, there are even sacred birds listening.

Since being accepted as a disciple by the Bodhi Patriarch, the place where the Patriarch has been in and out of the Patriarch's practice has been unimpeded, and the senior brothers of the three senior brothers can be described as a thousand miles in a day, leaving the others behind fiercely. However, the aquatic life is still unable to draw qi into the body, so it is worth studying the scriptures in the scripture building every day, chanting on the top of the mountain in the early morning, and reciting under the peach tree in the morning. In the afternoon, he recited in the mountains and forests, and there was a book in his hand at every moment. Eat, go to the toilet, and sleep with books. If there is an unknown place, when the aquatic student asks the Bodhi patriarch for advice, the patriarch will always say that the book reads a hundred times and sees its meaning.

The only advantage of being a disciple is that you can go to the Bodhi Patriarch at any time to ask questions, and as for other aspects, like other disciples, Shui Sheng still has to sweep the floor and water the flowers, and go up the mountain to chop wood.

"The avenue is invisible, the world is born, the avenue is ruthless, the sun and the moon run ......" Juesheng held an axe in one hand, and held a volume of "Qingjing Sutra" in the other hand to read aloud, causing the beasts in the mountains to frighten the birds, and the originally secret and quiet mountains and forests instantly became lively, and the beasts greeted each other in the road, and the sky of ten thousand birds came to the court, so a lively and flying aura. After a commotion, all the animals fell silent and listened to the aquatic recitation. The aquatic life that looked at the beast's inquisitive eyes was very flustered. I couldn't help but clench some of the axes in my hands.

Shui Sheng hurriedly shut up and walked towards the mountain, followed closely by the beasts behind him. Shui Sheng yelled at the beasts behind him, "Don't blame the sharpness of the axe in my hand if you don't leave. ”

"Don't panic, boys, they are here to hear the word. "Old Man Peachtree doesn't know when to appear ahead. A magpie latched on to this large red peach to the water.

"It's Xi'er. The aquatic fruit peach said: "It's really hard for you, every time I go up the mountain, I will send a peach to eat." Looking at the magpie standing on his shoulder, he rubbed himself very affectionately.

The old man of the peach tree walked slowly and said to the beasts: "Disperse today, I will explain to him." ”

The beasts listened to the words of the old man of the peach tree and gradually left.

Shui Sheng said strangely: "Why does the old man of the peach tree follow me?"

The old man of the peach tree said: "What you just read is the "Qingjing Sutra", written by Daxian, the opportunity of the universe of the Inland Sea, talking about the way of heaven. The hundred beasts in the Fangcun Mountain are psychic, and after listening to your scriptures, of course, they follow closely, and today they are fortunate to hear one or two mantras that have an immeasurable effect on their future transformation. The beasts are not like you human beings, who write down what you have learned throughout your life and pass it on to your descendants. Often one or two decades can defeat the demon clan for hundreds of years of cultivation. If you have time, read and write more scriptures for them, and it will be considered a merit for you in the future. ”

Fangcun Mountain Bell is sensitive and beautiful, and the mountains and rivers are full of spiritual veins. Beasts have been psychic since childhood, understand human language, and know words. Therefore, the aquatic life told the treasures of the Taoists, and the beasts in the mountains came out of the nest one after another.

"Old man Peachtree, I have become a disciple of the patriarch, and I will support myself in the future, and I will not bother you in the future. Aquatic said.

The old man of the peach tree said in surprise: "Bodhizi really broke the vows? It seems that he values you very much." ”

Shui Sheng said: "The disciple has already shown his heart, and the cultivation is hopeless, and I hope to enrich myself by reading a lot of books in this mountain for ten years." ”

The old man of the peach tree slowly walked back and sighed, "It's a pity, it's a pity." The figure faded away.

Shui Sheng said to the magpie, "I'm going to chop wood, will you go with me?"

Xi'er flew up and chirped happily twice, shaking her wings to lead the way. Shui Sheng picked up the axe and said as he walked: "It's still hello, if you can talk to me in your spare time, it's also good." ”

As if hearing the words of the aquatic life, Xi'er chattered in the air non-stop, people have words, and beasts have beast words. There is an insurmountable gulf between the two species.

The mountains and forests are empty, in order to drive away the loneliness, Shui Sheng opened his throat and hummed loudly the theme song "A Laugh in the Sea" in the smash hit Xiaoao Jianghu.

"The sea laughs, the tide on both sides of the strait, the ups and downs follow the waves to remember the present day; the sky laughs, the tide in the world, who loses and who wins, God knows; the rivers and mountains laugh, the smoke and rain are far away, the waves sweep away the red dust and mundane things, how much do you know; the breeze laughs, it is lonely, and there is still a pride left in the evening; the people laugh, no longer lonely, the pride is still laughing and laughing, la" The roar of the beasts in the mountains and forests rises and falls one after another, as if it is the right song, and the aquatic voice is not good, but the simple and catchy tune of this "A Laugh in the Sea" makes everyone who listens to this song can't help but feel surging blood.

After listening to it, the old man of the peach tree exclaimed: "It's really a good tune, I haven't heard such a rich tune for many years, I can't imagine that your Bodhi Patriarch has accepted a good apprentice, but it's a pity that my old bones are empty in the end to make wedding dresses for others, and the number of wedding dresses I have made in this life can't be counted. The old man of the peach tree took out the sword of the peach ancestor and gently wiped the sword body, as if it was not a sword, but one of his relatives. The body of the sword exudes a quaint atmosphere, and the sharp blade is still cold and shining at any time.

Farther in the mountains, the phoenix couple also heard the aquatic song, and couldn't help but be disturbed, and even the phoenix chick turned from the initial disdain to listen carefully. This tune stirs up a thousand waves in the calm mountains and forests, and the phoenix clan is the Chinese Rui beast and the chief of the birds. Within the Three Realms, there is a supreme position. It's a pity, although the phoenix is disappointed, it is not good to show it too much in front of the child, the phoenix has lowered her arrogant head, and there is already a trace of remorse in her heart.

After singing a song, Shui Sheng spit out a breath of turbidity in his heart, and struggled to cut out an axe, a tree with a thick bowl mouth was cut off by Qiqi, cut the tree into several pieces and tied it up and put it on his shoulder, and said to the magpie while walking: "I didn't scare you by yelling a few times just now, but unfortunately I have a bad voice, otherwise I can listen to a more heart-wrenching singing." Let's go, let's go home. I'll see you in two days. Carrying the firewood on his back, the magpie watched his back leave.

The old man of the peach tree seemed to have been waiting under the peach tree for a long time, and saw the aquatic life carrying firewood all the way to meet him.

Shui Sheng respectfully saluted the old man of the peach tree and said, "Are you waiting for me?"

The old man of the peach tree nodded and said: "You also know that I am a grass and tree essence, and today the old man has a reluctant request, and I hope that you can think twice." ”

Shui Sheng put down the firewood and said, "Last time, thanks to you for helping me heal, now there is rarely a tyrannical aura emanating from my body, and I haven't had time to repay it, but it doesn't hurt you to say it." ”

The old man of the peach tree took out the sword of the peach ancestor and said: "This sword has been with me for many years, I have not had a decent weapon since you entered Fangcun Mountain, today I will give you this sword, I hope you don't dislike it." ”

The sword of the Peach Ancestor is extremely sharp, it is a rare divine blade in heaven and earth, even the Great Luo Jin Immortal will salivate. Today, the old man of the peach tree transferred the aquatic life, I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse.

Shui Sheng hurriedly excused himself and said, "How dare you take the love of others." ”

The old man of the peach tree said: "I was born in the rotten peach mountain, grew up in the rotten peach mountain, and I treat the beasts in the mountain as my relatives." I will soon be gone, and woe will come to this place after I am gone. All beasts have no shelter and will be slaughtered. The old man wants to invite Juesheng or come here on the second or third day to recite the three thousand treasures of the Tao for the beasts. ”

Shui Sheng said with a solemn face: "Jue Sheng can't be the master of this matter, and he still needs to be recognized by his old man." ”

The old man saw that Shui Sheng did not refuse in person, he was already very face-to-face, if he was someone else, he would have already scolded, how could the Taoist in the world flow into the demon clan. The hatred between the human race and the demon race has long been incompatible.

Back then, the First War of the Gods said that it was the gods, but it was not, and the sect was very powerful, and the Tongtian Sect Master recruited a wide range of disciples, including the Three Realms. It can be called the first major religion within the Three Realms. Although there are many disciples under the sect, they are some people who wear hair and horns, and they are wet eggs. coincided with the change of fortune in the world, and there were twelve golden immortals under the sect of the sect of expounding on the murder and robbery, and the golden light of the god list was released, which led to the three sects discussing the god list, explaining the two sects against each other, and a battle of the world began.

"This Peach Ancestor Sword will be given to you. The old man of the peach tree threw the sword into the air, turned into a little spiritual light and flew into the upper dantian of Juesheng.

"How do you get your sword out of your hand? Shui Sheng said in a panic.

The old man of the peach tree said: "I am already in the last years of the wind and candle, and if this treasure follows me, it will be an insult to its ability." The day you climb to the other shore is also the time when this treasure shines. The old man of the peach tree slowly walked back into the peach tree, and a withered peach leaf fell from the branch.

The magpie flew into the sky with a mournful cry, and its cry was full of sorrow. The beasts in the mountains were also gloomy, and from a distance, the peach trees in the forest seemed to have begun to turn yellowish, which was a little incompatible with the emerald green of the mountain forest.

Back to the Sanxing Cave, Shui Sheng put down the firewood, and went to the Bodhi Patriarch's room, at this time the patriarch was closing his eyes and meditating, Shui Sheng naturally did not dare to disturb the master, so he knelt on the futon and waited for the master.

The sandalwood fragrance emanating from the room is not heavy, elegant and solemn. Chime heart's heart. The furnishings in the room are not luxurious, but the wood used for the furniture is very exquisite, the ancestor is a person who has seen the world, I don't know how much wind and rain has been experienced, and the furnishings in this room reveal a stream of spirituality.

Ever since he stepped into the door, the patriarch already knew and knew what he was doing. Therefore, he refused to open his eyes. About an hour later, Juesheng saw that the patriarch had not woken up, so he got up and exited the room, and just walked to the door of the room Bodhi patriarch said, "It's Juesheng who came?"

When Shui Sheng heard this, he immediately returned and knelt down and said, "Disciple to meet the master." ”

Patriarch Bodhi said, "Why don't you go to the front yard to review the scriptures, what are you doing here?"

Shui Sheng didn't know that Patriarch Bodhi already knew everything, so he said to himself: "Today, the disciple went up the mountain to chop wood, and occasionally recited the scriptures, which unexpectedly attracted a hundred beasts in the mountains. Fortunately, there was an old man with a peach tree to drive away the beasts for his disciples. ”

The patriarch secretly rejoiced: "No wonder that old monster will ask me to take care of this disciple, it turns out that he can educate all beasts." It's a good material for a teacher. ”

The patriarch said, "In that case, you should thank him, why did you come to me to tell him?"

Shui Sheng buried his head on the ground and said, "The disciple has also understood etiquette since he was a child, and he has thanked him repeatedly. But on the way back, the old man of the peach tree said that he wanted his disciple to educate the beasts in the mountains, and transferred his beloved object, the sword of the peach ancestor, to me. I hope I can give a lecture on the three thousand ways of the beasts. ”
