Fourth, the life experience of ancient addiction and illusion
Yao Banxian and the old man had been sleeping in the "Ice Dragon Cave" for three days and three nights.
When there was a violent shaking in the depths of the earth's core, the old man was awakened, and he found that his arms were empty, but the baby was no longer in his arms, and he crawled and sat up, and exclaimed, "No, the stinky boy is gone......"
The cave was dimly lit, and when the old man looked around, he found a shovel beside him.
Yao Banxian heard the old man's voice, opened his eyes, and said in amazement, "Where is this?" He subconsciously squeezed his right hand, and the memory stick was still in his hand.
At the corner of the hole ahead, the shadow of fire flickered from time to time.
Yao Banxian and the old man got up and walked out, and the two of them turned left along the entrance of the cave, and walked about ten steps to the most spacious place of the "Ice Dragon Cave".
It is extremely empty, which can accommodate thousands of people, and the top of the cave mouth hangs down a thousand-year-old vine, and a dark river flows slowly along the stone wall, and the sound of flowing water hitting the stone wall echoes lightly in the cave.
There was a fire burning by the dark river, and a fashionable old man with a disheveled hair and a cloak of robes was sitting by the fire, and after a while he was busy, he moved away, but saw a baby lying on the stone slab, dancing with his hands, and making a sound of "mmmmmmmmmm
The fashionable old man returned to the baby after fetching water by the river, and he opened the baby's wrapped clothes and said distressedly, "Hmm...... Not...... Don't worry, don't worry, it's going to be right away, it's going to be right away......"
The old man said in his heart, isn't this a stinky boy, how could it be in his hands, he is a human being or a ghost, what do you want to do to the stinky boy? Take advantage of his unpreparedness to snatch the stinky boy back.
The old man clenched the shovel, held his breath, and tiptoed towards the fashionable old man, Yao Banxian clenched the feeling stick and followed.
When he came to the old man's back, he saw that the old man sniffed the baby and opened his mouth.
The old man was very anxious, not good! He's going to eat my grandson...... He picked up a shovel and threw it at the old man's head, shouting, "Shut up, don't hurt my grandson's life, eat my shovel." ”
The shovel fell suddenly, and the old man snatched the shovel from the old man's hand with a backhand, and turned the baby into a shadow in his arms, drifting away to the other side of the fire.
When the old man raised his head, the old man and Yao Banxian's faces suddenly changed greatly, and they retreated a few steps back one after another, shouting in horror: "Wind ...... Green...... Three, you are the third ......"
The old man was frightened and continued: "You...... Aren't you dead, how can you be here, are you a human or a ghost? You have always been crazy, don't do stupid things, even if you are a ghost, you have to accumulate more yin virtue, the child is innocent, give him back to me. ”
Feng Qingsan laughed, threw the shovel in front of the old man, and said: "You say that I am a human or a ghost, if I hadn't helped in time, you would have returned to prehistory, hahaha......" His laughter was hearty, echoing in the cave for a long time.
The old man and Yao Banxian looked at each other, and then they remembered that they had fought with a group of ghosts on Yin Mountain, and then they fell into a huge pit and lost consciousness.
Yao Banxian took a step forward and arched his hand to Feng Qingsan and said: "Senior Feng, I haven't seen you for many years, we thought you were no longer alive, but we didn't expect us to meet here, thank you Senior Feng for rescuing ......"
Yao Banxian wanted to ask Feng Qingsan how he rescued the two of them, but thinking that Feng Qingsan had always been crazy when he spoke, he stopped, and the polite words he said just didn't want Feng Qingsan to hurt the baby and ask the baby back.
But the old man couldn't bear it, picked up the shovel on the ground, grabbed a step, and shouted: "Don't talk nonsense with him, and return the child to me, otherwise I'm welcome." ”
Feng Qingsan looked at the child, then at the old man, and said slowly with a smile: "After so many years, you are still impulsive, this stinky temper will hurt you after all, although you and I rarely intersect, but I know your name, your name is ...... Summer......
Feng Qingsan patted his head and thought for a moment: "Oh, I remembered, the surname is Xia, the name is Changfang, called Xia Changfang, the name sounds Sven, but it doesn't match your character at all, are you still guarding the ancient tomb?" ”
The old man secretly speculated in his heart, this Feng Qingsan is really crazy or fake crazy, I really thought he was dead after not seeing him for many years, his name was gradually forgotten by future generations, I didn't think that I would meet here, did he live in seclusion here or did he meet here by coincidence? It would have been better if he had mercy and let the child go, but only then did he see that he sniffed the child's body, and opened his mouth with bared teeth, hum, whether he is a human or a ghost, snatch the baby first and then reason with him......
While thinking about it, the old man walked silently towards the baby, ready to snatch the baby in his arms.
Feng Qingsan raised his right hand horizontally and blocked in front of the old man, and said hurriedly: "Slow down......"
Before the words fell, the shovel in the old man's hand had already struck Feng Qingsan's arm.
said that it was too late, but it was fast, Feng Qingsan made a move to "flick the tail of the tiger", only to hear a clear sound of "dang", and a string of sparks burst out from the shovel.
The old man staggered back a few steps before he could stand firmly, and suddenly felt a tingling sensation in his right arm, and the shovel was held in his hand and did not obey the call.
The old man was secretly unconvinced, he stood firm on the horse, his anger sank into the dantian, his true qi rushed to the whole body, filled his limbs, and immediately used the move of "horse stepping on the flying goose to catch the tiger", and his hands were like pincers straight to Feng Qingsan's neck.
Feng Qing's three bodies were as light as swallows, like dragonflies jumping up from the water, using the "Tiger Show Affection" move, and dismantling the old man several times one after another.
When the two saw the moves, they fought evenly and equally, and the quiet "Ice Dragon Cave" suddenly became lively, and the rumbling sound was endless.
Yao Banxian took advantage of the fact that the two of them were fighting, rushed over to wrap the baby and hugged it into his arms, and said loudly: "The child is already in my hands, you can use your fists and feet, don't be stingy, and defeat this crazy old man." ”
Feng Qingsan suddenly stopped his hand, smiled madly, and said: "The scabies on this child's whole body have suppurated, and the scabies on his body are delicious, I want to eat all his scabies, hahaha...... If you delay any longer, will the child's life be saved? ”
Yao Banxian opened the child's clothes and found that most of the scabies on the baby's body had festered, and he wondered in his heart, what kind of character is this crazy Feng Qingsan, is he going to treat this kid?
Yao Banxian couldn't make up his mind at the moment.
"We will heal ourselves......" The old man saw that the child had been taken back, and no longer arguing, he and Yao Banxian walked towards the entrance of the cave.
Feng Qingsan took a step forward, stopped in front of the two, and shouted: "Just leave, what do you think of me here?" Come as you say, leave as you say, and if you don't leave the children behind, none of you will want to leave. ”
The old man and Feng Qingsan started fighting again.
This time, Feng Qingsan didn't want to entangle with the old man again, so he turned into a cigarette.
"You madman, pretend to be a ghost in front of me, watch me blow your head off......"
The old man shouted as he swung his shovel and slashed at the smoke in front of him.
I saw the phantoms around the old man, the shovel in his hand whirring into the air, and when the smoke dissipated, the old man's whole body was tied with a rope, and he was dragged by the figure to the fire.
One stumbled, the old man fell to the ground head-on, but his mouth did not stop, scolding: "Damn crazy old man, let me go quickly, I have no grievances with you, you don't have to embarrass me like this......"
Feng Qingsan appeared and laughed with a grin: "If I want to kill you, it is so easy, why are you so stubborn and refuse to listen to my advice." ”
Yao Banxian was dumbfounded and froze in place.
"Hmph, pretend to be a good person...... the old man is still angry, although he is defeated, but he is still unconvinced.
At this time, the scabies on the baby's body was bleeding again, and he cried out in pain.
Feng Qingsan took the baby from Yao Banxian's arms, sucked out the poisonous juice in the scabies on the baby's body with his mouth, and fetched water by the dark river to apply it to the scabies, and the baby lay in Feng Qingsan's arms and fell asleep peacefully.
Feng Qingsan muttered a few words, the rope on the old man's body suddenly disappeared, the old man understood Feng Qingsan's intentions, he was ashamed in his heart, and very grateful, the three of them sat around the fire, and the bright moon was hanging at the entrance of the cave.
Yao Banxian was naturally curious, and asked Feng Qingsan where he was here, and why did he come here to live in seclusion instead of returning to Longgu Town?
Feng Qing said with three senses: "Alas! It's been decades, and I also want to go back to Longgu Town to see? He looked at the full moon at the entrance of the cave and talked about his origins.
It turned out that Feng Qingsan was born to a prehistoric beast and a woman in the sun, and a hundred years ago, a prehistoric beast escaped from the "prehistoric tunnel".
At that time, this prehistoric beast was seriously injured and dying, but fortunately was rescued by a woman in Longgu Town, who not only did not dislike his ugly appearance, but also did not abandon him and took care of his food, clothing.
The prehistoric beast was touched by the true feelings of the world and became human, and later the two came to the "Ice Dragon Cave" to protect the "prehistoric tunnel".
Yao Banxian was puzzled and asked curiously: "Why do you want to come here to guard the prehistoric tunnel, wouldn't it be better to live in Longgu Town?" ”
Feng Qingsan replied: "My father knows that prehistoric beasts are cruel by nature, if they are allowed to escape to the yang world, they will be ruined, my father was influenced to be good, if there is a prehistoric beast escaping from here in the future, he is determined to truly emotionalize it, let him do more good deeds in the world, to avoid more creatures from being harmed, so he and my mother made an appointment here." ”
Yao Banxian continued to ask, "What happened later?" ”
Feng Qingsan recounted what happened after that.
The prehistoric beast and the woman gave birth to Feng Qingsan in the "Ice Dragon Cave", the prehistoric beast had no name and no surname, and Feng Qingsan followed his mother's surname Feng.
His mother loved her son like a treasure, and she didn't want Feng Qingsan to live an isolated life in the "Ice Dragon Cave", and wanted him to receive a better education, so his mother sent him to his grandmother's house in Longgu Town to stay, after all, he was born of a beast and a man, which was very different from the people in the yang world.
When Feng Qingsan grew into adulthood, he gradually felt the strangeness of his body, every night, Feng Qingsan had a chill on his back, and then a chill all over his body, followed by a beastly hair, either gnawing on the desk or gnawing on the stigma, and several times he almost gnawed his uncle to eat, his grandmother and uncles were frightened by him, and they moved away from Longgu Town.
Since then, Feng Qingsan has been helpless, living a lonely and soulless life in the town.
Feng Qingsan also tried his best to control his beastly nature, as deep as possible to make it simple, not to hurt the innocent, under his forced concentration, the beast nature was gradually controlled, but it became crazy, and the consciousness did not obey the call at all.
Especially on the night of thunderstorms, Feng Qingsan always saw ghosts coming to catch him, he was scared after all, running around in the woods, his clothes and skin were scratched by branches, in the eyes of outsiders, he was really a crazy old man.
At night, when Feng Qing Sanyi looked up at the night sky, he often heard a voice from outside the sky, saying: "You are not a human, you are born of a prehistoric beast......"
One night, something even more incredible happened, the Eye of Heaven suddenly opened, and his life experience was replayed one by one in the deep universe.
After reading it, Feng Qingsan felt a faint pain in his chest, jumped and scurried in horror, like a wild beast possessed, pulled out a huge stone tablet buried deep in the grass next to him, raised the stone tablet with both hands and smashed a big tree in front of him, and the birds and birds on the tree were broken necks and fell from the tree.
Yao Banxian was stupid when he heard this, his eyes didn't take off Feng Qingsan for a moment, and asked seriously: "What is the basis for the origin of the prehistoric beast?" Although I have also seen records in ancient books, it is said that it is very far away from the present, and it has disappeared for nearly a billion years. ”
The old man has been guarding the tomb for most of his life, and he has never encountered any demons and monsters, this is also the first time he has heard of such a strange thing, and listened to Feng Qingsan with great interest, he picked up the dry wood on the ground and added it to the fire.
Feng Qingsan ripped off the clothes on his chest and said, "You see, this is what makes me different from you. ”
I saw a strange beast-shaped head on Feng Qingsan's chest, the beast's head was like a tiger but like a lion, but at first glance it looked like a wolf, it opened its bloody mouth, its eyes flashed a dazzling red light under the firelight, and the hair on the beast's head was all over Feng Qingsan's chest.
The old man and Yao Banxian were stunned by the scene in front of them, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
Feng Qingsan put away his clothes and continued: "I can't hide it from you, I don't know much about prehistoric beasts, when I asked about my father's life experience when I was a child, he always kept his mouth shut, his face showed sadness and pain, and he always said tabooly, don't ask, children, you will know when you grow up." That night, when I saw my life in the night sky, my spirit was suddenly unusually abundant, as if it had fallen from heaven, and this mark had grown on my chest from that time. ”
Yao Banxian Yuan Dao Feng Qingsan is just a crazy bad old man, he is an inconspicuous little character in Longgu Town, who would have thought that Feng Qingsan would have such an ancient and obsessive life experience.
Yao Banxian couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart, and sighed to himself: "The crazy old man has spent most of his life in madness, and now he is in a fashionable year, and half of his body is buried in the soil, which is really not easy." ”
The old man asked Feng Qingsan, "How was your crazy disease cured?" ”
Feng Qingsan sighed leisurely and said slowly: "Thanks to those ancient books left by my third uncle. My third uncle knows a little about medicine, the same age as me, we have a very good relationship, he often heals me of madness, that day he pricked a needle on the top of my head, but it was when I was crazy, the yin and yang in the body violently exchanged, collided, when running to the top of the head, a few silver needles violently shook and then swished out, only to hear the third uncle fall down in response......"
At this point, Feng Qingsan burst into tears, he calmed down, and continued: "A silver needle pierced the third uncle's life, he was in a coma for three days, and when he woke up, he was already half paralyzed, and then his aunt moved him out of Longgu Town with a trolley, and the ancient books in the third uncle's study could not be moved, so they were left behind. I have been living in a state of confusion for more than ten years, as I grow older, I have also learned to think about a lot of problems, whenever I think of my relatives leaving me one by one, I am very heartbroken, so when I am conscious, I went to study those ancient books, the essence of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism gradually dissipated my demonic nature, but also let me be able to open the vows, I once vowed to find my departed relatives, but now ......"
Feng Qingsan let out a long sigh, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and fell into deep thought.
The old man knew that he had touched Feng Qingsan's sore spot, and comforted him: "At least your madness has been cured, and your family's heavenly spirit has finally been comforted." ”
Yao Banxian heard the words "Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism" and came to the spirit, moved a position, closer to Feng Qingsan, and said happily: "I didn't expect you to be this kind of expert, I usually see you crazy, but I didn't think that there was a master hidden in Longgu Town, I would like to hear the master's views on Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, can you not hesitate to advise?" ”
Feng Qingsan handed the baby in his arms to the old man, he stood up, moved his muscles, paced forward a few more steps, stroked the white whiskers on his chin, looked at the full moon raised at the entrance of the cave and said: "Personal opinions are not necessarily true, and I can't talk about advice." ”
Feng Qingsan turned around and glanced at Yao Banxian and the old man, and saw that they listened so sincerely and seriously, and said without taboos: "The essence of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism complement each other and complement each other, focusing on integration. Shakyamuni Buddha belongs to the Buddhist thought, although it was introduced from the Western Regions, after all, it revealed human nature, he pursued birth, paid attention to purity, single-mindedly good, believed in the cycle of cause and effect, all the Dharma, such as a dream bubble, such as dew and electricity, should be viewed as such, everything should be put down; The essence of the Tao follows the unity of heaven and man, the heart should not be attracted by anything tempting, do not be paranoid, and everything should be thought of, and this is the principle of the Tao root Confucian stem Buddha leaf flower......"
The old man listened carefully to every word, and seemed to have some epiphany about the meaning in it, and he echoed Yao Banxian and kept nodding his head.
The admiration in Yao Banxian's heart rose suddenly, he never thought that Feng Qingsan would understand the essence of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism so thoroughly, and his skills were far above him.
Yao Banxian was about to open his mouth to praise Feng Qingsan, but he heard Feng Qingsan sigh again, and said: "All living beings are born of heaven and earth, and man is the essence of heaven and earth...... Sadness is also ......"
Yao Banxian Qi said: "Sir, why are you lamenting here? ”
The word "Mr" is a noble title for others, and Yao Banxian called Feng Qingsan "Mr" from the bottom of his heart, which surprised Feng Qingsan.
Feng Qingsan was a crazy and bad old man in the eyes of everyone in his life, and he didn't deserve anyone's respect, and the people in the town looked at Feng Qingsan in a strange light, even children threw stones and sticks at him, and often used him to have fun......
Feng Qing Sandao: "There are many schools in this world, these schools are divided by Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, there are Wushan School, Maoshan School, Flora School, Daoxian School, Qianshan School, Kun Soul School and so on dozens of schools, but many schools have misinterpreted the root of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, contrary to their essence, some Taoists also in the name of the sect to loot money, kill the people, and even do some unsightly deeds......"
Yao Banxian answered: "This is really the case, I have been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and I have already seen through the faces and practices of various factions, these factions in the rivers and lakes have really blasphemed the essence of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, this is the reason why I have not created sects over the years!" ”
