Chapter 32: Hermits and Monks
The furnishings in the hut are clear at a glance, and the most conspicuous is a low couch placed by the window. There is a small table on the couch, on which there is a lamp, a pot, a cup, a chessboard, and an incense burner......
The people who used to live here are afraid that they are out of the realm.
Although night vision is fine, Ai Yu is still more accustomed to lighting lights. When I walked to the couch, I realized that I had grown up in a mortal pile, and many habits were deeply rooted.
Is it the same with the owner of this house?
Looking at the lamp in front of me, it is an ordinary brass lamp and hay wick, and the oil in it has dried up for I don't know how many years.
Ai Yu looked around the rest of the room.
There was a robe hanging on the wall, and in the corner of the wall leaned against an axe, a medicine pestle, a hoe, and a fish basket beside it. On the other side are cabinets, bookshelves and other furniture, only two or three stoneware urns are placed there. It seems that the owner was not in a hurry when he left, and he cleaned up carefully.
This configuration doesn't look like a monk's dwelling in any way.
But the phantom array halfway up the mountain is quite clever. The tea, the peach, and the medicine are all full of aura. This thatched hut is also supported by a formation, and the inside of the house is clean and spotless.
Could it be that it was a hermit who picked up the monk's belongings?
What Ai Yu was referring to in his heart was not a hermit like the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest and Tao Yuanming. They are literati, and literati are proud when they are proud, and they hide when they are frustrated. Even if they are "hidden", their identity is still "Shi".
For example, Tao Yuanming, who came out in his twenties, was hidden from time to time, and he was still a petty official. He was forty-one years old when he last appeared, and at this age, he actually went to Pengze to serve as a county magistrate for a period of time.
Not long after, Master Tao resigned again because of the small official, rolled up his sleeves and wrote "Returning to the Pastoral Home......
Ai Yu felt in his heart that these celebrities were essentially official fans, and real hermits were not. They were deeper in the mountains, "a few idle words of fisherman, and a pillow of gourd stands".
"There are always some clues left behind ......"
According to the behavior and habits of mortals, Ai Yu looked for places where there might be things to hide.
Sure enough, there was a small cloth bag stuffed into the beam of the hut. Reaching out and taking the cloth bag into his palm, he opened it and saw that it was a bamboo slip. The bamboo slip unfolded again, and a thin piece of jade was wrapped inside.
The bamboo slip was neatly copied with dense small letters, and Ai Yu read it throughout, feeling like a last word.
The author did not explain who he was, but only described the experience of entering this place by mistake and the feelings after settling down. At the end, he also expressed regret, saying that the jade piece "is brilliant, it should be a thing of the immortal family, but the rest of the poor have nothing to gain in their lives".
This man went up the mountain at about forty years old and came down at the age of one hundred and seven. In ancient times, there was this lifespan, which should be the credit of those spiritual fruits and spiritual teas. He knew that his time was numbered, and he did not want to defile the Pure Land with his body. The peach blossom wine was left by him, and he hoped that future generations would treat this place well.
Ai Yu put down the bamboo slips, and there seemed to be a back figure with grass as clothes in front of him.
Most of these people admire Lao Zhuang's thoughts, but they actually don't know how to cultivate. They think that people are immortals in the mountains, and finding the freedom of the soul is detachment, but this is a mistake.
Picking roses and eating pine needles and drinking water are only suitable for those who are originally pure-hearted. If you have a stomach cold or something like that, you can't stand it.
Do immortals have no desires and no desires?
Joke, the man of God still wants to dominate the world......
Ai Yu shook his head self-deprecatingly, trying to interpret the jade piece with his divine sense, and actually gained another piece of classical Chinese.
This jade piece is more appropriately called Jade Jane, it is a guest book.
Although it is a divine literacy, it is a vertical script, and there is still no punctuation. Judging from the choice of words and sentences, the content in the jade slip is much older than the bamboo slip. Four words, four words layer upon layer, the more you look at it, the more it looks like Han Fu.
Ai Yu had no choice but to do another reading comprehension of ancient texts, and roughly figured out the origin of this thatched hut.
Everything on the West Mountain, or the Immortal Mountain, was made out by the monk who left the jade slip, and this person named himself Hongye Mountain Man. Seeing this name, Ai Yu's first reaction was that he probably lived in Xiangshan for a while.
According to the description of the people of Momijishan, his cultivation was about the middle and late stages of foundation building. Ai Yu was quite happy when he saw this, and then he was stunned by a message.
There has never been a Jindan monk on earth, at least not the people of Hongye Mountain have heard of it. The monks who want to marry the Dan will all end up in failure without exception, and the unlucky ones will even have their dantian destroyed.
The reason is attributed to the bottleneck, and some people say that it is limited by the way of heaven.
Ai Yu put down the jade slip depressedly, she remembered that there was never a so-called bottleneck in the cultivation of the Protoss, and it was estimated that it was still related to the incomplete laws.
Now all the planets in the universe have been reborn after the collapse of the Protoss Continent, or they were simply born in that accident. The number of law fragments they get is uneven, which also determines the upper limit of cultivation on each planet.
As for the earth, the cultivation conditions can only be described as barren.
Taoists often say that the Three Thousand Avenues refer to the Three Thousand Rule. In fact, there are more than 10 million laws in the world? There is only a world constructed by the Three Thousand Laws, so it is no wonder that it can only be cultivated to the foundation. And the total amount of aura in a realm is also closely related to the law, and this problem is simply unsolvable.
The people of Hongye Mountain said that when the monk Zhuji was approaching Shouyuan, most of them would go to "find immortals", so he also had to go to see it.
There are four common places to go, the cloud peak of the extreme west, the dark abyss of the East China Sea, the cold palace of the northern underworld, and the mirage valley of the southern Vietnam. As for the outcome, no one knows for sure, because the monks have not gone without exception.
Ai Yu guessed that the result was nothing more than leaving the earth, or finding a place to die.
If it really leaves, then the so-called "Immortal Yuan" is likely to be a teleportation array, and at least it must be a cross-planetary teleportation array.
This is not a formation that anyone can arrange.
First of all, the law involved in the short-distance teleportation array is mainly space, and the ultra-long-distance teleportation array also takes into account the law of time.
Secondly, when entering and exiting different planets, we must also consider how to shield these planets' own legal systems, which is the so-called world will.
In the end, according to Momiji, the monks who ride the teleportation array are only in the foundation building period. You'll also have to consider decompressing them, otherwise their bodies will explode into mud during the teleportation.
These are very real problems, how can it be possible to build an interstellar teleportation array if there are not even monks above the golden pill on the earth? Not to mention going to other planets with more spiritual energy, even the nearest moon may not be there.
If the teleportation array exists, it can only be sponsored by the "receiving unit". If that's the case, Ai Yu can't help but want conspiracy theories.
Hello aliens, why are you so generous?
Ai Yu put the jade slip and the bamboo slip back in their place with a heavy heart, and this night solved a lot of doubts, but added more. After thinking about it before leaving, he left a divine imprint in the room with his backhand.
The flowers and plants of the red leaves, she just took the seeds, and she didn't have any psychological burden at all. The old hermit's hundred jars of peach blossom wine, if you take it, you will have to leave something in exchange.
Maybe someone will come here in the future. At that time, the other party will push the door and enter, and he will be able to obtain the complete cultivation method from the divine consciousness imprint.
This is not only the money for wine, but also the thoughts of the old gentleman for the rest of his life.
