On that day, Zuo Ci suddenly got two jars of fine wine from Fuping County, Jingzhao Prefecture, sent by his apprentice Sun Ge Hong, Shi Frozen Spring, and asked Jushan to accompany him to have a drink.

Jushan politely declined, but said that although he couldn't do it today, he could drink with him tomorrow. That Zuo Ci didn't ask much, and said with a slight smile: "Okay, Zheng Gu once praised this wine: it is easy to get drunk all night, and thousands of cylinders of stone freeze spring."

"The three hundred years of stone frozen spring have faded away from the fire, presumably it is sweet and fragrant, and it will increase the flavor for one more day, since Xiaoyou can endure it for a day, why can't I bear it? Then let's drink together tomorrow. ”

On the second day, the giant mountain really came again, and brought many unknown wild mushrooms and a leg of mutton. Zuo Ci's fire was roasting two deer legs, and the wine was warm.

The two tigers, whose faces were covered in blood, were feasting on the rest of the venison, and they were so happy.

Jushan wrapped the leg of mutton in the belly and buried it in the soil under the fire, thanked him for "bothering", and the two solemnly raised their glasses and drank the first cup together.

Jushan only felt a warm current, piercing his throat, and his body became hot, and he couldn't help but sigh: "What wine!" The feeling of drinking in the snow is really happier than drinking tea! ”

Zuo Ci said with a smile while peeling venison for him: "The first time you drink alcohol, how do you know what good wine is bad?" ”

Jushan smiled: "I heard Master say that as long as it's not too spicy, it's good wine!" "The meat is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, it is really tempting, and the giant mountain is overflowing with saliva after eating.

He couldn't help but ask, "This roast venison is really rare in the world!" The skin is burnt and fragrant, but the inside is tender and not woody, there is no blood, and there is a little bit of plum fragrance, which is really rare!

"I heard that Daomen has always eaten lightly, but the seniors are not informal, isn't there any secret to this barbecue?"

Zuo Ci's face turned red, pointed to the wooden house not far away, raised his eyebrows and said: "Daomen is compassionate, but you must also be merciful to yourself first, this ice and snow, you see that the wooden house I live in is windy on all sides, if I don't eat some meat, how can my old bones withstand this wind and snow?"

"However, you kid is not very old, but you know the goods. How? It's not enough to eat, I still want to steal the master to learn the arts, my descendants are reluctant to teach him! ”

The mountain wind drifted by, and the giant mountain suddenly smelled the fragrance of plum, and said with a smile: "If you don't say it, I won't guess?" ”

"Hehe, the tone is not small! If you can really guess how I make this venison, I will give you something today. Zuo Ci is colorful.

"This deer must have been bitten off by Brother Tiger, and died a happy death. The deer dies quickly, the heart is still beating, if the technique is right, the deer blood will be naturally clean, and the venison will be less fishy.

"Then it is pickled with the remnant snow and sea salt on the plum blossoms, and then the 'plum snow' is sealed with oil, so that there is both the saltiness of the sea and the aroma of plum blossoms.

"Then the burnt skin is baked over high heat, and then slowly roasted over low heat, which is probably what it looks like." The giant mountain is telling.

Zuo Ci was shocked: "My Meixue roasted venison is the most proud thing I have been in the past hundred years!" This barbecue secret, the heir of the mantle I originally wanted to leave to me, was seen through by you at a glance? How did you find out? ”

Jushan smiled: "What's so difficult about this? The three head monks in our temple (note: the first monk who manages the food), one is curry, one is too much salt to save vegetables, and the other is so unpalatable that you want to vomit.

"Although these three 'masters with unique skills' are painstaking and lonely - it is also for the disciples in the temple to quit the greed for food, it can be described as well-intentioned! It's just that this force is so strong that sometimes even my master, who has been practicing for hundreds of years, can hardly swallow.

"I had to get some wild game from time to time and fight tooth sacrifices with Master. Although he doesn't know how to cook, but his mouth is very picky, and it just so happens that we both like barbecue. Haha, how? ”

Jushan said that, he washed the bag of wild mushrooms in the snow: chicken fir mushrooms, green hand mushrooms, green head mushrooms, porcini mushrooms, matsutake mushrooms, and Ganoderma lucidum, and found a slightly flat stone slab and put it under the deer's leg.

He tore the fungus into several pieces, and the grease from the deer's leg fell on the slate, and sprinkled some salt on it. One ...... No, six or seven smells came to my nose.

He picked up two slices of roasted mushrooms, put them into Zuo Ci's mouth, and said with a smile: "This is called 'two feelings and pleasure' (note: love and green happen to be the same sound), how does it compare to your venison?" ”

The expression on Zuo Ci's face was like fireworks exploding in his mouth, his face was full of colors, and he suddenly said in ecstasy: "What kind of love is between two people?" Why is it so delicious! It's a blessing!

"Seeing that your internal strength method is practiced ordinarily, this cooking ability is quite talented!"

Jushan said: "This fungus is a green head fungus and a green hand, so it is two 'green' and happy." However, this hand green is a poisonous thing, if it is not roasted thoroughly, the toxicity may hurt the body. ”

"It's amazing, I see that although the green hand is delicious, it's better to eat less." Zuo Ci said.

Jushan asked, "But, then again, you don't want to know why I didn't drink yesterday and only drank with you today?" ”

"Haha, I guess you wanted me to ask you, but I didn't. You finally couldn't help but come to me again, Lao Dan once said: If you want to take it, you will give it.

(Note: If you want to get something, you have to give something first) My plan to get away with it really worked." Zuo Ci stroked his palms and laughed.

Jushan sighed: "Okay, even if I lose, I heard that the rule of Middle-earth is to punish three glasses of wine, then I will do it first as a respect." He said so, and drank three glasses in a row.

"You kid ghost elf, you're going to trick me into drinking! I've been studying the Book of Changes for 300 years, isn't it even that your kid has just turned eighteen today?

"Probably your master is afraid that you will be drunk and disorderly, so he won't let you drink as a teenager, so you can't drink yesterday, but you can drink today, how about it, am I right?" Zuo Ci said proudly.

Jushan was stunned, and then smiled: "What three hundred years? Seeing that you are only thirty or forty years old, the cowhide is not afraid of being blown out? Still, you're right, okay? I'll fine three more drinks! ”

Zuo Ci grabbed him and said hurriedly: "Don't do it, you punish it a few more times, my two jars of century-old liquor have been ruined by you, a little drunkard." Wine is a thing to relieve depression, why should you drink more at a young age! ”

"My eighteen years of depression can't be relieved, and my alcohol addiction suddenly attacks, let me drink a few more glasses!" The mountain sighed.

"You kid is young, it's a good time to have fun, but why are you frowning? Probably fell in love with someone else's girl, but was disliked, right? Zuo Ci said with a smile.

"The golden snub-nosed monkey doesn't play with gibbons, the snow leopard doesn't play with leopards, and it's nothing for me to be disliked by them as a foreigner. It's just that I don't stop every morning and evening, practicing internal and external exercises all day long, sometimes waking up in the middle of the night, and practicing swordsmanship.

Even so, it is still far from others, as the old saying goes: sincerity goes, gold and stone are open. I thought that I tried my best, but I still couldn't compare to the talent of others, so I was a little discouraged. Jushan couldn't help but say gloomily.

"Hehe, it wasn't for women!" Zuo Ci smiled, "You push me with all your strength and let me see what's wrong with you?" ”

Jushan looked stunned, and couldn't help but say: "Dao Chief, you can't do it, it's as thin as a bamboo pole, I can't do anything else, but I have a bit of brute strength!" If I break you and blackmail me for five taels of silver, I'll be penniless. ”

Zuo Ci smiled: "Haha, although I am not rich, I can't look down on five taels of silver." Use all your brute strength, and if you push me one step, the rest of the wine will be yours." ”

Seeing him boasting about Haikou, Jushan said in his heart: Even if you have any ability, the internal strength of my honey sect will not be able to push you a step, right?

Jushan had the heart to win, jumped up, and flatly pushed out a palm - this palm was not only afraid of hurting the other party, but also afraid that it would really not push him, so he used fifty percent of his strength.

Before the wind could reach him, the mountain flew upside down, crashing into a pine tree and shaking down a lot of snow.

Zuo Ci did not change his face and said: "You have used fifty percent of your strength at most, but your Honey Sect's internal strength is indeed insignificant, but you have been enlightened by the masters of the Dao Sect, and the depth of your foundation makes me also impressed, but why do you want to buy and return the pearls and spend all your energy on that Honey Sect's mental method?" ”

"This ——, buy and return the pearls, you say that the Honey Sect is a wooden box? Then "Fenggong Yin and Yang Law" is the pearl? A glimmer of light suddenly burst out from the gloomy heart of the giant mountain.

"The Dao Sect has a long history, it is the evolution of millions of years, it is not the achievement of the Three Qing or Lao Dan alone, the thing you get may be far before the origin of the Dao Gate.

"I've heard Master say that he has only heard of this book or left it by the ancient gods Nuwa and Fuxi, and I'm afraid that the Daomen Sanqing may not be clear." Zuo Ci said.

"The ice sculpture water you drink is probably the legendary 'Ice Jade Thick', which is the divine jade that was refined by the Samadhi True Fire, and then added to all kinds of fairy juice and frozen again...... Needless to say, how rare that thing is. ”

"That ice water does have the flavor of peach, ganoderma lucidum, and other flowers and plants!" Jushan couldn't help but interject.

"Oh Ou, you can taste the taste of Ganoderma lucidum?" Zuo Ci said in surprise.

"I have been weak and sick since I was a child, and Master gave me many precious herbs to eat, and Master once got the book "Hug Puzi", which mentioned the five kinds of Ganoderma lucidum: Shizhi, Muzhi, Caozhi, Meat Zhi, and Mushroom Zhi, and he found them for me to eat.

"That Shizhi is also called Yuzhi Zhi, the most rare, he looked for a long time to get two plants, in short, I am afraid that I have a basket of Ganoderma lucidum!" Giant Mountain Road.

Zuo Ci gasped and sighed, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it." Look at your poor boy's tattered clothes, your diet is so luxurious, and you can still eat Ganoderma lucidum as a meal? So how do you eat it? ”

"Stir-fry meat, barbecue, we can eat whatever we want!" Giant Mountain Road.

Zuo Ci covered his chest, a mouthful of old blood was swallowed by him, and said hurriedly: "Such a violent thing? Okay, do you still have Wuzhi here? Let the old man taste it too! ”

Zuo Cixin said: In Middle-earth, these five zhi are rare and great supplements for the Daomen to enhance their divine power, second only to the peach, solitary mulberry fruit, and ginseng fruit of the heavenly court.

"In the end, I gave you all the four Ganoderma lucidum, originally there were quite a lot in this mountain, and then someone in Middle Earth actually bought it for dozens of taels of silver, not only was the temple stolen and sold, but the Ganoderma lucidum in the mountain was also excavated, and now I am afraid it will be difficult to see." The giant mountain spreads its hands.

Zuo Ci couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect me to have a good mouth today!" If these things are in Middle-earth, hundreds of taels of gold may not be able to buy, and maybe some jade will be added! ”

He secretly moved himself, only to feel that there were really four warm currents returning to the dantian, and muttered to himself: This favor is great, I originally wanted to give you a birthday gift, but instead......

"Is it worth it? I can also exchange jade, I knew that I would have left some for my master to exchange some jade. "Giant Mountain Road.

"No wonder you have deep roots and ignorance. You must not be presumptuous, the internal strength of the Honey Sect may not be remarkable! Don't say anything about the lonely and nameless Luo Hu, even if the Mi Sect has practiced to more than ten levels, I have seen a few, but I don't think it's so amazing.

"In my opinion, your endowment is by no means below that person, but the Force in your body has not yet ......awakened," Zuo Ci said.

"What Force?" Jushan was stunned.

Zuo Ci said: "Although the divine power of the Protoss comes from the internal force of people, there is still a world of difference. The so-called internal force is just cultivated from the original power of man himself, and the force of man is the survival force of the human race that has fought against all beasts and creatures in heaven and earth for millions of years, which is the source of strength shared by the human race and the god race.

"From the primordial force to the internal force from internal cultivation, it is already possible for a few talented people from various sects and factions to do it. And to cultivate divine power from internal force, it is necessary to conform to the way of heaven.

"Whether it is Buddha, Taoism, Brahmanism, Zoroastrianism, Green Religion, or Nestorianism, if you can't see through a trace of heavenly power, how can you touch that unfathomable divine power?"

Jushan couldn't help but suddenly realize, and his face showed surprise.

Zuo Ci saw that he had a comprehension, and said: "The law of the Dao Gate is not lightly passed on to the outer door, but you are neither a honey sect nor a Buddhist sect, I am very old, and I can't eat your Ganoderma lucidum in vain, so let's stop at it, and solve some doubts about the cultivation of your juniors, presumably it will not violate the ancestral teachings." ”

In fact, in the view of the Daomen, human beings are nothing more than the unity of essence, qi, and spirit. And the method of Taoist cultivation, the first building of the entrance is to build the foundation;

If you are a person with extraordinary qualifications, you can take a step in ten years, and it will take you thirty years to build a three-story foundation, and then you can refine and refine the gas and enter the second building - the gas;

For another thirty years, when the third layer of qi refining is successful, at this time, refining qi and transforming the gods, can you enter the third floor - refining the gods;

If a hundred years of refining the gods are successful, some people can already be a scattered immortal and travel between heaven and earth. However, some people still have to refine their cultivation, I don't know how many years it will take, refining the gods is still empty, and they may be able to enter the fourth floor-the void.

As for practicing the path of emptiness and transcendent sanctification, it is not just a matter of manpower.

The so-called: the nine-story platform starts from the ground. If you can't build a solid foundation, all cultivation will be a tower on the sand and a pavilion in the sky.

If people's essence and blood are insufficient, how can they refine their qi and become gods?

When the giant mountain listens to it, it is like an initiation, and it is like seeing the blue sky through the clouds. Jushan asked again how to get rid of the predicament of going mad, but Zuo Ci just smiled and said nothing, and raised his glass frequently.

On this day, an old man and a young general drank two jars of wine. Maybe he was born an alcoholic, although it was the first time for Jushan to drink, he was only a little dizzy, and his whole body was warm, and there was nothing wrong with it.

And Zuo Ci actually drank very little, and he was drunk for a while. The mountain put him to sleep in the hut, took a heavy piece of wood and threw it into the furnace, and was about to leave, when he saw a book fall from his arms.

This is a book of "Tan Zihua", in which the text is plain, and there are drawings of the operation of the eight veins of the human body's strange meridians and the key to building the foundation, with pictures and texts. At this time, it was snowing outside the house, and the giant mountain sat under the fire, and couldn't help but watch it with relish.

As mentioned in the book, the most important thing in cultivating immortals and refining gods is to build a foundation, and only when the foundation is built can there be divine power to take root and grow.

Therefore, whether you are gifted or have the wisdom of the heavens, if you can't build a foundation successfully, all the cultivation in the future will be duckweed on the water, a castle on the sand, and in the end it will be just a dream.

And this "Tan Zihua Book" is to teach ginseng to transform all things, give birth to the Force, and turn various internal forces of the whole body into one, which is the wonderful method of building the foundation of the Daomen.

Jushan couldn't help but sigh: No wonder I haven't made much progress in practicing the Fenggong Yin and Yang Method. The master didn't let me join the sect, but I got some of the fur of the inner cultivation of the Honey Sect, which must have been twice the work with half the effort, and I only had some brute force, and I achieved nothing.

But I have long been familiar with the "Tao Te Ching", this door is spontaneous and natural, and conforms to the way of change of all things, which really wins my heart!

The innate force has not been urged, and the so-called "nine-story platform starts from the soil", this foundation has not been laid, how can we hope to achieve something? Cultivating two internal forces at the same time, if they can't become one, and eventually cancel each other out and erode, isn't it seeking the moon in the water?

Jushan finished reading the book in one breath and tried to exercise, but before he knew it, the internal force of the Honey Sect and the internal force of the new birth had actually become one.

However, there are still three unclear places in the book, and he can't help but read it repeatedly, and suddenly heard Zuo Ci muttering to himself in his sleep, and he listened carefully, just to solve his doubts.

At this time, the sky was already white, the morning bell on the mountain was ringing, and the apprentices were going to greet the master early in the morning.

When he saw Zuo Ci snoring, he stuffed the book under the pillow, bowed under the bed and kowtowed three times, and said in a low voice: "Thank you seniors for your advice!" ”

By the time the giant mountain carried water and firewood, and after doing the miscellaneous work in the temple, it was already past noon. He couldn't even eat, and when he ran down the mountain, Zuo Ci and Erhu didn't know where to go.

Although the wooden house is there, there is no trace of the belongings, only a piece of wood in the house is engraved with four words: Don't do evil. The handwriting was as thick as a finger, more than an inch deep into the wood, and if it was carved by force, it was really not human.

Jushan was stunned for a while: such a master, I actually only care about eating meat and drinking wine, and I don't have time to ask for more advice.

That night, the giant mountain climbed to the top of Yunyu Mountain again, recalling this day's enlightenment. At this time, the sun and the moon shine in the body, and the two internal forces turn into one, return to the dantian, and take root since then.

He looked at the mountains from afar, and only felt that the world was vast and open-minded...... He knew that there was still a long, long way to go from those flying immortals, but after all, he had seen a faint hope.

After that, in addition to practicing day and night, Jushan also read some miscellaneous books in the middle of the day. After he got Zuo Ci's guidance to "build the foundation", the internal force entered the realm very quickly, and the "Fenggon Yin and Yang Method" finally got a glimpse of the doorway, but the deep place is still not the essential, or because of his young age, he will not be able to understand the wonderful meaning of yin and yang in this heaven and earth.

But he no longer feels sorry for himself, no longer melancholy for spring flowers, autumn moons, summer lotus, winter snow, and no longer falls into the endless abyss of hatred that has not avenged the murder of his mother.

Gradually, his mind became more and more settled, and he thought of the helplessness in the corridor, and he no longer feared loneliness and darkness;

He thought of the fifty-six days he had fallen into the manure well, and he no longer despaired and regretted. What can't defeat you will eventually make you stronger.

On that day, when the giant mountain was about to descend again, Nagarjuna stopped him and quipped, "But you want to feed the tiger with your body?" ”

"Master, the tiger is gone, or he dislikes that I am not a Tianzhu person, and he doesn't have the ancestral curry flavor, so he always doesn't eat me!" Jushan laughed.

"Hehe, Confucius said: The adult tiger changes, and the gentleman leopard changes. Are you going to be an adult? Nagarjuna laughed.

"I learned a few words from Mr. Gongye in the mountains. According to Master, there may not be anything good about adults, it's not that there are more troubles! "Giant Mountain Road.

"The almanac says: The tiger of the midwinter moon is the first to make friends. People are busy giving birth to baby tigers, how can they have time to pay attention to you, after a few days, the tiger children will grow up to eat meat, then you will know, whether you are important, or his son is important. Nagarjuna Road.

"Master, I think it's only the beasts who live to understand! Hungry and hungry, thirsty and drunk, lustful and ...... Carefree and free! Isn't it just that we cultivate to achieve this natural realm? What's more, the immortal chief no longer knows what happened, and I just ran on the mountain road and gained some stamina. "Giant Mountain Road.

The method of running wild in the mountains is just a method of long-term strength that he has figured out by himself. However, this kind of venting can also allow him to temporarily escape and relieve the resentment and depression in his heart that he cannot avenge his mother.

"Don't do what you want, don't people have to obey the rules? Shan'er, why don't you see you playing with your old friends? Nagarjuna asked.

"In the past, I endured humiliation and accommodated them in every possible way, but now I have figured it out, why bother to act against my will and waste time. They looked down on me and didn't want to play with me, and now I don't bother to play with them, even when they come to me. I still have to cultivate the Dao Fa! Jushan said proudly.

"Alas, you're also older, you can't help it, you just have to live happily." Nagarjuna sighed.

"It's a pity that those two tigers can't talk to people, Master, so many birds and beasts have cultivated to perfection, why did those two tigers raised by immortals under the mountain not attain enlightenment? This beast race is still not as good as the human race! Jushan asked.

"Thousands of sentient beings, how many of them have become gods in the human race? If the beast clan doesn't have innate wisdom roots, of course it's difficult. However, the orcs also have many heroes, which is admirable! Nagarjuna Road.

"Really? Tell me about it! "Jushan threw away his cotton clothes and came to the spirit.

"If you don't feed the tiger with your body, I'll tell you the story of the ancestors of the Middle-earth Beast Clan!" Nagarjuna Road.

"If you don't have compassion for yourself, how can you be merciful to all sentient beings; If you have compassion on yourself, why do you have to feed the tiger with your body? Okay, I'm just not going...... How about I just sit here and drink tea with Master? ”

"Storyteller, pay back the tea money, you don't have any money, give me a beating on the back!" Nagarjuna Road. Jushan hurriedly poured tea for the master and beat his back obediently. Nagarjuna laughed, "That's just like words! You are from Middle-earth, so I will tell you the story of the three ancestors of Middle-earth, Emperor Yan, Emperor Huangdi and Chiyou. ”
