Chapter Fifty-Eight: Red Dust Enters and Exits
Chen Jing was not interested in messing around with Cui Ying, and watched the group leave outside the restaurant, until he turned a corner and disappeared, then he withdrew his gaze.
Old man Qiu sat on the threshold and smoked dry cigarettes without paying attention to it, as a monk with a spirit and incarnation, he had a long life, he had read a lot of books when he was young, and he could say a lot of literary crepe words when he opened and closed his mouth.
Old man Qiu raised his eyelids to look at the young man, and said casually: "You are a careful and steady person, why don't you stop a few of them?" ”
Hearing this, Chen Jing understood and asked, "Didn't the seniors stop it?" ”
The old man carried a cigarette stick and lit the young man, "If you don't like to be in the limelight, you are here for me if you stay alone?" ”
Chen Jing arched his hand and said: "Seniors are wise, there are indeed some things that are not unhappy. ”
Old man Qiu took another puff of cigarette and spit out, and said, "You have your unpleasantness, I also have a lot of rambling here, and it is pleasing to the eye to see you kid, anyway, you are idle at this time, just ask." ”
Chen Jing said straight to the point: "Have the seniors made up their minds to leave this place?" ”
Old man Qiu nodded indifferently and said, "That's right, it was decided a long time ago, but it's a pity that my three stupid apprentices never thought of this, but were clearly seen by an outsider." ”
Chen Jing said politely: "As the authorities, it is not uncommon for the three senior brothers to be trapped by the obstacle, and it is not strange that the kid, as a bystander, can see clearly." ”
Old man Qiu said with a smile: "This is a good standard, it seems that the elders behind you have not put a lot of thought into you." ”
Since he mentioned the master, Chen Jing said uprightly: "Thank you for the love of the seniors, we have not given the master a headache, and now the cultivation is generally out to travel, and the elders of the master are not less worried." ”
"General?"
Old man Qiu put his face on his face, looking a little displeased, "A girl who has not reached the qi refining has almost strangled the old man's three unsuccessful disciples to death with her arms, and two of the three are in the middle realm of qi refining, which can also be called ordinary?" ”
Thinking of something again, the old man continued: "You haven't made a move, but I guess it should be the same as that girl, such a realm, with such strength, it is the first time I have seen it in my life."
With a strong foundation like the two of you, there are probably only two possibilities. One is that the elders do not practice smoothly, stumble, and see that the avenue is hopeless, and always feel that it is the instability of the front side, so they will vigorously spur the apprentice, and the stupid bird will not fly, so that the disciple can fly vigorously. ”
Taking a puff of dry smoke, the choked old man coughed again and again, stopped and continued: "The second kind is the wealthy giants, who take the money and smash it hard, and pile it out a good foundation, of course, it is with fairy money, it is simple and rude, and it is indeed effective.
It's a pity that these two methods are both careless. The front side lays a good foundation, and the sky collapses and the ground sinks in the back, as if it is sparse, and it can't be stopped, or it may be that the foundation is too good, and the bottleneck behind it is also as solid as a rock, so it can't go up.
I don't know the sect behind you, I hope that there is an ancestral secret book that can help you go straight to the clouds, otherwise, if you go down this way, you have to look at the top of the mountain. ”
Chen Jing was taught: "The seniors admonish, the younger generations remember." ”
His face was radiant: "As for the future, it must not be difficult to come out under the master's teachings." ”
Hearing the suspicious words, the old man said happily: "Young people should indeed move forward. ”
Chen Jing accepted it calmly and asked: "I heard Senior Brother Qiu Chen say that Monk Taodu has always been taboo to move around the cultivation ground, since the seniors have long planned to move out of this place, why don't you explain it to the disciples?" ”
The old man stood up, slapped his ass twice at will, looked at the direction of the town and said, "If you don't let the wealth eat your master, how can you be cautious in your words and deeds?" If you don't know the sinister nature of people's hearts, how can you calm down and cultivate your mind? If you don't enter the red dust, how can there be a red dust? ”
The old man waved his hand, stopping the young man's compliment, "This is not the golden rule I said, no matter what kind of cultivator you are from, you almost all have this meaning, whether you two come out to travel, or wander the rivers and lakes, it is all the same way." ”
"Boss Qiu Chen, the earlier impetuous, yearning for the prosperity of the world, for the cultivation of things, the degree of attention is related to his own longevity, I just want to spend more time greedy for the world, in the past few years, the heart and lungs have hurt him a lot, so that he will be much more sober, and the practice will be much more stable in the future.
The second Qiu Yu, the grass on the wall follows the trend, there is a brother in front of him, he is like a fool, he has no opinion, and he is the most stupid of the three. However, it is better to be obedient, and he is only ordered to be cautious to the point that he is a little afraid of me, an old man, and in the future, he will be like his senior brother, and it will not be a problem to force him back to meditate on the futon. ”
Chen Jing listened quietly, remembering what was said in the book, "Being a teacher is also a father", the words of the old-timer Mo Ruo's father made him feel inexplicable, and the hearts of parents in the world are probably like this.
"Boss, Qiu Heng ......"
The old man paused for a moment and said: "Heng'er has a pure heart and is smart, and will not be led astray by the two guys in front of him.
I'm a disciple who is curious about many things, including cultivation, if there is a strong person to protect me, I should practice with peace of mind, plus I am a piece of jade, and my future achievements will only be higher than mine. ”
The old man exhaled a depressed breath, "But an old guy like me, where can I be considered a 'strong man', maybe one day I will return to Taodu, while my arms and legs can still move, and when what I say still works, I will arrange a way back for them." Even if they can't figure it out for a while, being pushed into the red dust by me and rolling around, as long as I am not dead, it is not difficult to pull them out of the red dust again. ”
Speaking of this, the old man saw that Chen Jing's face had an unnatural expression, and said with a sly smile: "I'm afraid they won't be happy when they find out?" Kick your nose and face, dare not be happy, Lao Tzu may kick his legs and leave tomorrow, and he has to look at their faces? ”
This is the old child's words, some tricks, family affairs are also internal affairs of the master, the old man is ready to make a decision, Chen Jing has the consciousness of being an audience and a guest, and he does not intend to be boring.
From the perspective of a junior and a later generation, the practices of the old-timers are similar to those of the hard-working parents in the world, and they can't find faults.
This reminded Chen Jing of Master Mu Hongfeng, and muttered in his heart, "Master, you have also done a lot of things for the sake of your two disciples." ”
At night, in the restaurant, several people had a home-cooked meal, and Cui Ying, who was invincible in the town during the day, was out of the limelight, and beat the only head of the town with a punch to a brain disease, and he lay at home to recuperate.
After defeating the head of the town, it was the mayor's turn, and he was arrogant enough to count the mayor's no, some of the reasons were obviously nonsense, such as throwing stones in the pit, but the big guy listened to the applause, and no one dared to touch the head to remind one or two.
The three brothers are also like doglegs, waiting for Cui Ying to scold and not be satisfied, his throat is a little dry, so he hurriedly handed over a cup of tea, and after moistening his throat, he pretended to brew his emotions, and the lively people outside the wall also shook their heads, seeing that the atmosphere was good, and then scolded the mayor who knelt on the ground.
When it was over, out of the gate, the people spontaneously surrounded this tall man "returning to his hometown", and the scene was similar to the treatment of returning from the victory of the general.
Cui Ying said in the restaurant, and said to Chen Jingmei Fei about the grand occasion during the day, "Don't you see, the soul of the mayor who was scolded by me flew away, and after returning to his soul, he was honest like a quail, and promised me that in the future, if he meets someone surnamed Qiu, he will take a detour, and if he can't get around, he will squat and walk, and if he dislikes dirty eyes, he will become a ...... if he rolls away."
Old man Qiu knocked on the wooden table twice with a cigarette stick, signaling that he had something to say, glanced at the five people, stopped at Chen Jing, and wrote lightly: "How are you getting ready?" ”
Chen Jing heard the meaning of his words, and replied honestly: "Senior Brother Qiu Chen has already helped prepare some, as long as it is ......"
Without waiting for him to finish, Old Man Qiu said, "Then let's go early tomorrow morning." ”
Qiu Chen kindly reminded: "Master, is the time not yet?" ”
Old man Qiu didn't smile and said, "What, do you think I'm so old and confused that I can't even count?" ”
Seeing that the senior brother was scolded, Qiu Yu took the initiative to be a piece of wood, so as not to make the master unhappy with a word or action, and be sprayed with saliva.
Qiu Heng looked back and forth at a few people, scratching his head and wondering a little, the master is old-fashioned, and the senior brothers have long remembered it, and it is the first time that they have encountered such a no-show.
Cui Ying thinks back to what she did, there is nothing to offend the old man, why is she going to drive people out? Muttered, "It's too early, it's only been a day......"
Seeing Chen Jing's cold face, it was too familiar, and he immediately changed the conversation, "The old-timers are thoughtful, if you don't say that there is an old man in the family, if you have a treasure, you should not be too cool when you go in the morning, I like the cold and are afraid of the heat, and when I get hot, I feel uncomfortable all over my body, so I should leave early." ”
Old man Qiu ignored this sharp-mouthed girl, and asked Chen Jingdao: "The experience in the red dust is just to get rid of the red dust in the future and wash away the mortal heart?" ”
Chen Jing thought for a moment and said, "At least not all." ”
Old man Qiu nodded with satisfaction, and reminded in a tone of elders: "If there is anything in short supply, hurry up and say it, after tonight, if you want to help, you can only do it in a hurry." ”
Chen Jinggang wanted to be polite, but Cui Ying next to him slapped the table with his big hand and shouted, "It's really there!" ”
The rooster crow only sounded once, the morning light was faintly bright, and there were still starlight in the sky, but in the face of the approaching Lord of Biluo, he had to slowly retreat.
There were a few people gathered at the entrance of the town, and some early villagers glanced at it from a distance, and they didn't have the mind to see clearly, and they didn't know whose family was well-fed and supported. The people who went out of the town, and when they came back, there were a few who came out.
The head of the mayor's nursing home is a capable person, right? I was knocked down by a long and delicate big tall man, I used to think that the head of the sect was a late bloomer, but now it seems to be a flower pillow, which is useless, and I wanted to send the child to practice martial arts earlier, but I had to endure it, and I recognized this kind of person as a master, and I didn't have much potential for a lifetime.
Chen Jing pointed to the two horses and blamed Cui Yingdao: "This is what you said about 'important things', I think you just love to show off." ”
Cui Ying gave him a roll of his eyes, teased the two slightly thin old horses and said, "What do you know." A good horse is a hero, the two of us don't have a horse to travel in the rivers and lakes, and the heroes don't do it! ”
After Cui Ying finished speaking, she pulled Qiu Heng and hugged her in her arms, and said dotingly: "Xiao Heng'er has done a good job, it is very much in line with my heart, come, tell the eldest brother, if there is a sweetheart, I will invite the media for you." ”
Qiu Heng was a little apprehensive about the enthusiasm of this woman, don't give yourself a "big gift" before leaving, and said half-pushed: "Almost all the farmers in the town are farmers, and most of the cultivated land is made of cattle, and the family with horses is actually the mayor's family, which is not good, don't dislike it, Brother Niu." ”
Old man Qiu silently stretched out his hand, pulled Qiu Heng over, protected him behind him, and said lightly: "This is bought by the mayor from afar, purely for the display of being full." The two horses are the war horses that have been eliminated on the battlefield, and they are always older, but they are still a lot more useful than ordinary horses, so you two will use them. ”
When Chen Jing was young, he didn't ride horses much at home, but more on docile buffaloes, which were slow enough to make people fall asleep and have great strength, and were the first choice for farms to cultivate their land.
Chen Jing sat on the saddle and said to the old man: "If one day, the old-timers feel that the sky is high and there is nowhere to stay, you can try to cross the Chuqiu country, continue to go north for thousands of miles, and find a city in the mountains and dense forests, called 'Zhao'an City'. ”
Old man Qiu said casually: "I won't try to get what you want." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, all without saying a word.
Cui Ying hugged her fists at a few people and said, "Brothers, the green mountains don't change the green water, let's go!" ”
didn't say a few more words, and went on the road happily.
Seeing a man and a woman walking into the distance, Old Man Qiu muttered in his mouth, "Monk Taodu is different from the Kingdom of God, and he shouldn't be so bad as that kid said." ”
Thinking back to what the young man said yesterday, he wondered in his heart: "Surname Mu? It was rumored that there was one in Nan Yuzhou hundreds of years ago, and now there are no bones left that have died a long time ago, I don't know how this surnamed Mu is? ”
