The person who is older than Zhang Shaofei is a native of Honggang Village, surnamed Li, named Weiming, he is shorter than ordinary people, and his body is also a little thinner. However, since he was allocated by Zhang Shaofei, he has become the person who collects the most firewood in the village.

He picks up much more firewood from the firewood market every day than all the others. Those strong men with five big and three thick, big shoulders and round waists, and strong strength are naturally unconvinced, and they can't afford to lose people. So, they secretly competed with Li Weiming.

Early in the morning, before it was dawn, they rushed to the mountains. Halfway through, even though they were tired and about to fall apart, they didn't dare to slack off. At the end of the day, they still didn't cut as much firewood as Li Weiming, who was doing it step by step.

They thought: Li Weiming's strength is far less than theirs, the time spent on chopping firewood is not as long as theirs, and he uses an ordinary firewood knife, and there is no magic and sharp tool, the reason why he cuts more firewood than them must be that he is opportunistic, and he harvests some of the softest dry firewood, while they generally cut hard wood, which is more laborious and time-consuming.

However, they quietly checked the opposite result.

Li Weiming's bundles of firewood are all the finest and hardest mountain purple inside and out, unlike them, with a layer of hard wood on the outside and half-rotten softwood on the inside.

In this way, customers are scrambling and rushing to buy Li Weiming's dry firewood, which also shows that the firewood he harvests is more vigorous and more resistant to burning.

The firewood gatherers in the village were puzzled. It's weird! Could it be that Li Weiming has the help of a master?

Li Weiming's master is Zhang Shaofei - he made himself understand the wonderful use of the mind and grasped the laws of nature.

Others chop firewood and always chop hard towards one place, but Li Weiming is cutting around; Others always do everything possible to avoid the knotted place to drop the axe, but Li Weiming starts from the thrifty place. Where the trunk has no knots, the wood is softer, and they have great strength, so that every knife can cut deep into the wood; However, it is precisely because of this that their woodcutters are always stuck, and they often use more force and effort to pull out the knife outward than to cut downward.

Although knots mean that the wood is hard, the harder the place, the less the woodcutter will get stuck, and the more brittle the wood, the easier it will be to cut.

Truth is so ordinary.

Because it is too ordinary, although Li Weiming has repeatedly explained, others just don't believe it. People's thinking is often trapped in the strange circle of inertia and refuses to extricate itself.

……

On this day, Zhang Shaofei unknowingly came to Yunwu Mountain again.

On the way, he picked up a plum branch.

It has probably been abandoned for a long time, and the leaves have wilted.

Zhang Shaofei is particularly fond of plum blossoms. He is a man of temperament, and in winter, in the vast mountains where the trees are withered and the flowers and plants are dry, he will often smell a faint fragrance of flowers.

The fragrance of flowers would pull him to the plum blossoms that bloomed in the cold wind.

A plum branch in the mountains, lonely and alone.

Before the news of spring, the dark fragrance struck people.

When Zhang Shaofei was in Hepu, although he only studied private school intermittently for a few years, he did not go to the Xiucai exam, and he did not have the talent of a poet. But he also knows the unique natural law of plum blossoms blooming in winter: how to get the fragrance of plum blossoms without a cold bone.

Zhang Shaofei easily planted the half-withered plum blossom in the hill, picked a banana leaf and used it as a spoon, loaded some stream water from the mountain stream, and poured it into the soil around it.

Since then, Yunwu Mountain has been full of plum blossoms. In the season of plum blossoms, up and down the mountain, a white expanse, like snowflakes falling on the earth. The snow-white plum blossoms all over the mountains form a unique landscape, just like the northern scenery of "thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting".

The mountain breeze blows, the fragrance of plum blossoms ripples, intoxicating, it can be said that the mountain people are living in the sea of flowers, the world of incense, and they are at ease. On the other hand, when the plum blossoms fall and the plum trees bear fruit, countless green plums hang on the branches, and the fruits bend the branches. The harvested plums can be soaked in wine or sold as preserved fruits. In this way, Zhang Shaofei's plum has brought a lot of tangible benefits to the local mountain people.

……

Zhang Shaofei went up the mountain to fetch firewood very early today, because Lu Huilan has been in poor health recently, everything is not going well, he wants to go to the Baiyun Temple of Yunwu Mountain to ask her for a peace charm, so he has to walk several miles more mountain roads than before.

The mist shrouded the mountains, and the mountains seemed very lonely.

"What's wrong with Cloud Mountain today, why is it so quiet?" Zhang Shaofei climbed to the top of the mountain with a suspicious face.

Standing on the top of the cloudy mountain, facing the vast sky and the vast sea of clouds, Zhang Shaofei issued a sigh of "I don't see the ancients before, I don't see the comers after, I think of the world and the world, and I can't cry down".

The wind, blowing from the distant sky, with the aura of the mountain, Zhang Shaofei seemed to be talking to the sky, the mountain, and the gods, and seemed to hear a heavy voice from the depths of the years......

In the bustling city, his misty eyes are no longer dusty at this time, and his heart is full of innocence and happiness like childhood.

At this time, a white cloud danced like a graceful girl in the clear blue sky, leisurely drifting to the east.

In an instant, Zhang Shaofei seemed to have turned into a white cloud, floating over the mountains, floating over the top of the mountain beams, floating over the tall immortal peak, in the cloudy mountainside, under the cover of the towering ancient trees, he finally saw a corner of the hall that exposed the blue bricks and black tiles of the Baiyun Temple.

Ancient temples are hidden in the mountains, and the mountains and rivers wash the dust. Zhang Shaofei thought to himself: Such a beautiful scenery, Yunwu Mountain Road is long, at this time, he should dance with the cranes in such a beautiful scenery.

However, things are so unpredictable, and some things are some people...... It's not up to you what you think, or what you think or think......

No, the fulfillment is in front of him¬¬ - Zhang Shaofei suddenly heard a loud "boom", and in an instant, the Immortal Peak and the wide cliff below it collapsed together!

Loud voice......

Zhang Shaofei barely heard the earth-shattering roar of collapse, although he himself opened his mouth, he did not let out an exclamation—he was completely stunned, watching the shock wave caused by the collapse of the cliff, first pushing away the mist on the mountainside, and the Taoist temple revealed its last full appearance, and then disappeared without a trace.

The ancient Taoist temple is like a small speck of dust in the hands of a giant, and with a gentle blow, it disappears without a trace, and there is no trace in sight......

"Cloud Mountain Road Chief...... Where are you? ”

The mountains and forests were like a huge sponge, sucking all his crazy cries into it, and there was no response.

Zhang Shaofei, while walking towards the Taoist temple like crazy, shouted heartbreakingly, braved the rocks and dust that were constantly collapsing, and walked towards the Taoist temple desperately......

Time, as if frozen, Zhang Shaofei lost his initial madness, he was exhausted, his clothes were torn by sharp rocks, and his ten fingers were ground bloody.

All efforts were in vain, Zhang Shaofei didn't find anything from the Daoist Master of Yunwu Mountain, not even a single hair of his hair, or his Dan furnace, his dust, as if everything about the Daoist was wiped out, as if it had never existed.

In the vast universe, the human body is too small! It's too insignificant compared to the towering Cloud Mountain.

Although the Daoist Master of Yunwu Mountain has achieved cultivation and easily lived to such an advanced age, he is a rare birthday star among people, but compared with the mountains and rivers and the earth, compared with the immortal peak carved by the time that Pangu only had to open the world, the so-called long life is just a snap of a finger.

Mountains and rivers, the vast earth, but also the vicissitudes of the sea, ever-changing.

Isn't it, even the immortal peak of Yunwu Mountain, which stands on the mighty shore and the vast earth, with the legend of immortality, also collapsed and disappeared in an instant......

Zhang Shaofei pondered: impermanence, flux, change, migration...... In the world, nothing is set in stone. When he thought of this, he no longer felt heart-wrenching pain, no more despair, no longer sorrow.

……

The sun has passed the middle of the sky, and the sun shines on the mountains and rivers with ten thousand golden rays, and the cloudy mountain under the sun is still full of vitality.

Every place in Yunwu Mountain, every flower and tree, seems to have a story, and they all have a profound fantasy charm.

When Zhang Shaofei's eyes shifted from the ruins of the Taoist temple's blue bricks and black tiles, he found a footprint 104 centimeters long and 40 centimeters wide.

These footprints are related to the immortals: there is a great drought one year, thousands of miles of red land, rice field seedlings are withered and yellow, hundreds of villagers in Qiu County, holding ingots and candles and incense, shouldering the temple gods and Buddhas, trekking dozens of miles, and coming to the incense burner of Yunwu Mountain.

When people come here, they only feel the dew of the sky and the cool heart of the fairy water, and they are still worried about when the good day (rainy weather) will be in the future.

Not long after, everyone hurriedly lit incense and candles, burned treasures and prayed.

Suddenly, the firelight reflected on the mountainside, and the sweat on people's bodies flowed, sweat beads flowed to the ground, and cigarettes rushed to the sky, touching the eyes of the gods.

The gods lifted the clouds, and suddenly saw this situation in the world, and immediately called for wind and rain, and rained a great rain.

When the people saw the heavy rain falling from the sky, they hurriedly planted the seedlings. In the wind and rain, the gods pushed away the clouds and gained insight into the world, only to see that the water of the mountain stream was slipped away in vain, so they roared: "To dam the river and build a dam to keep the water!" ”

As the sun set, the crowd dispersed.

When night falls, the gods descend to earth. Use an umbrella to pick up the fossil of the big stone drum and the chunshi of the big pond pass, and prepare to put it in Qiu County to form a dam to store water.

Who knows that the sky will dawn, and it will not be completed.

When the fairy is preparing to return to heaven in the incense burner, the light of the incense candle is still bright, the smoke of the incense candle is still in the nose, the rooster cries more and more loudly in the world, the sound of pushing and grinding, the sound of Chunmi comes frequently, the fairy uses his fingers to turn the stone mill in front of the incense burner floor a few times, the rumbling sound of pushing and grinding is earth-shattering, stepping on the Chunshi with his feet, leaving a footprint of 104 cm long and 40 cm wide.

Sometimes things are wonderful, what you want to find, no matter how hard you try to find it, you just can't find it, and what you don't want to find suddenly appears in front of you. Just like Zhang Shaofei wanted to find the relics of the Daoist Master of Yunwu Mountain in the ruins, no matter how he looked for it, he couldn't find it, but he unexpectedly found a legendary immortal footprint.

Ha ha! Interesting.
