Chapter 97: Extraordinarily Amazing

Zhang Shaofei inadvertently found the legendary fairy footprints in the ruins; I also found the true meaning of nature - impermanence and variation; Inadvertently, he realized the Zen mechanism of "seeing through, letting go, and being at ease", and his heart suddenly opened up, and he suddenly let go of the sorrow that plagued him, "because of the sorrow of witnessing the death of the immortal of the Cloud Mountain Road, and found the happiness of the past." Just like the dense bushes of flowers and plants with buds in front of you, some people appreciate it and have to work hard to bloom, and no one appreciates it to open hard. Isn't it a kind of beauty to appreciate yourself!

In life, sentient beings are obsessed with all kinds of circumstances because of delusional attachments, and their minds flow for chasing. Because of greed, ignorance, and ignorance, there are joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and when the time is lost, people change the world, and when they are enlightened, the environment is born from the heart and the situation is born because of the situation, all of which show that Zhang Shaofei realized that "the environment is born from the heart, and everything is created by idealism", and his profound understanding and practice produce true knowledge.

And this time, Zhang Shaofei realized the true meaning of "life is impermanent, and all laws are empty" from the matter of the Taoist chief of Yunwu Mountain.

……

Since going into the mountains to collect firewood, Zhang Shaofei has developed a habit of sharpening the firewood knife before going to bed.

Every night he carefully sharpened his own chopping head, so that the next day he could get up and have breakfast, and then set out to go up the mountain to collect firewood.

Before dawn this day, Wang Shaoxiang got up to the kitchen to make breakfast as usual, and when he was washing the pot, his body was chilled, and then he felt uncomfortable in his throat, his throat was itchy, and he coughed "hum".

Zhang Shaofei was still dreaming in the bedroom, and was woken up by Wang Shaoxiang's tight coughing, so he got out of bed and walked out.

Wang Shaoxiang coughed and was about to bend down to wash rice, but he felt a pain in his back, so he beat it on his back.

Seeing this, Zhang Shaofei asked with concern: "Auntie, what's wrong with you?" ”

As soon as Wang Shaoxiang saw Zhang Shaofei get up and come to the kitchen, he said, "Fei'er, why did you get up so early today?" A-Niang hasn't made breakfast yet......" After Wang Shaoxiang finished speaking, her throat itched and coughed again.

Zhang Shaofei said eagerly: "A-Niang, I'm asking you what's wrong with your body, coughing and ......."

Wang Shaoxiang gasped and said: What else, the old problem has been committed again. It seems that the weather is going to change today. ”

Zhang Shaofei said: "However, I think A-Niang seems to be more uncomfortable than usual. What the hell is going on? ”

Wang Shaoxiang sighed and said, "Alas, my mother is old!" The older a person gets, the worse his body bones become, and the worse his old problems become......"

Zhang Shaofei rolled up his shirt sleeves: "Auntie, I'll make breakfast." ”

Wang Shaoxiang looked at Zhang Shaofei's clumsy appearance, and laughed out loud, "Fei'er, A-Niang is getting older and older, and you are getting older, it's time to find a helper for A-Niang." ”

Of course, Zhang Shaofei understood what Wang Shaoxiang was talking about, but he pretended not to understand and said, "Am I not A-Niang's best helper?" Mother and son are connected, is there anyone who can connect with A-Niang better than a son? ”

Wang Shaoxiang said with a straight face: "Don't talk nonsense!" Your father died early, so he left us with such a root of you in the Zhang family, and if you delay it any longer......"

Zhang Shaofei hurriedly interrupted Wang Shaoxiang's words and said, "Auntie, don't worry about it." We have nothing but this decent house, and who would marry his daughter to a poor boy who has no land and lives by collecting firewood! ”

"A few years ago, when I was at Boss Li's house in Hepu, people were so rich and powerful, and they didn't think we were poor, and they planned to marry the little girl Zhang Qianxu to you...... Are you suspicious that the family is too young, so ......," Wang Shaoxiang recalled.

"Auntie, look where you talked about again." Zhang Shaofei interrupted Wang Shaoxiang's words again.

"Good, good, good...... Let's not talk about Zhang Qian first, let's talk about blue ice. Wang Shaoxiang said that Lan Bing, remembering that Lin Orion came to inquire about Zhang Shaofei some time ago, he couldn't help but look at Zhang Shaofei and asked, "Fei'er, the daughter of Lin Orion likes you so much, but you excuse yourself to shirk it...... Why is that? ”

Zhang Shaofei looked at Wang Shaoxiang seriously, and asked rhetorically: "A-Niang, I can't help others, so I have to marry someone's daughter, right?" ”

Wang Shaoxiang stretched out his hand to wipe his cloudy eyes, and asked, "Then you also think the same way about the treatment of Alan?" ”

Just as Wang Shaoxiang asked, after Zhang Shaofei listened, he said seriously, "A-Niang, if I get engaged to Xiaolan, I will lose money for my righteous deeds." Wang Shaoxiang opened his mouth, and Zhang Shaofei continued, "If just because I saved Xiaolan, she and her father and mother gave Xiaolan to me out of gratitude, then wouldn't it be something else for me to save her?" ”

"Fei'er, how can you have such an idea? These are two different things, Xiaolan and her parents really like you, and I really like Xiaolan, and I want to fulfill you. Wang Shaoxiang interrupted Zhang Shaofei's words, his cloudy eyes patrolled back and forth on Zhang Shaofei's face, and then asked, "Let me ask you, do you like Xiaolan?" ”

Zhang Shaofei said: "I like it, I like my mother, I really like Sister Alan." ”

Wang Shaoxiang smiled and said, "Isn't this enough?!" As the saying goes, 'men should get married, women should get married', Fei'er, this is your lifelong event, so it's decided. ”

"Listen to A-Niang, the man should get married, and when I grow up, I will get married." Zhang Shaofei comforted Wang Shaoxiang and said.

……

After breakfast, Zhang Shaofei took a drafting gun and a firewood knife and was about to go out.

Wang Shaoxiang went out to look at the sky, hurriedly stopped Zhang Shaofei, and said, "Fei'er, God is about to be windy and rainy, don't go to collect firewood today!" ”

Zhang Shaofei looked at the gloomy sky and said, "Auntie, early in the morning, the sky is like this, it seems that there may be rain in the morning, and there will be a typhoon!" ”

"Then you can't go! The lightning and thunder in the mountains, the violent storms and rains, and the possibility of flash floods, are too dangerous! Wang Shaoxiang said worriedly.

Zhang Shaofei said: "The more this weather, the better, the more I want to go." ”

Wang Shaoxiang got angry: "You're not a child anymore, you still want to have fun!" ”

"A-Niang, don't worry, I'm going to the mountains and forests to pick up trees blown by the wind and firewood blown down by the wind!" After Zhang Shaofei finished speaking, he took the tools and went out.

Since Zhang Shaofei went up to the mountain to collect firewood, he accidentally discovered that in the mountains and forests, many branches of trees have dried up. Whenever there is a strong wind, they are blown off and fallen. These branches have long been dried on the tree, and it is naturally much lighter to carry out the mountain, and it is very labor-saving to pick up, so whenever the rain is over, Zhang Shaofei will go to pick up these firewood. If you go late, you'll be picked up by someone else.

After Zhang Shaofei mastered this law, therefore, he entered the mountain in advance and avoided the wind and rain in the cave first. As soon as the wind and rain passed, he could go into the mountains and forests to collect firewood in the shortest possible time.

Besides, as soon as Zhang Shaofei entered the mountain today, the wind began to blow.

Zhang Shaofei ran against the strong wind, and finally got into the cave where he and the Taoist priests and monks took refuge from the rain last time before the rainstorm came.

The chessboard is still there, and things are no longer people. The scene of the Taoist chief of Yunwu Mountain and the monk playing against him is still vivid. Now the Taoist chief has driven the crane west, and the monk is gone. Zhang Shaofei couldn't help but feel like a world away.

The gale came and went quickly, and in a few moments, although there were still gusts of wind blowing, the torrential rain had subsided.

Zhang Shaofei got out of the cave and came to a dense forest in the mountain pass, where he had seen many dead branches in the towering trees, and he had already locked this goal in his heart.

As expected, as soon as he reached the edge of the mountain forest, he saw a lot of dry branches falling on the ground.

Zhang Shaofei thought to himself: There may be more dead branches in the depths of the dense forest, so he moved to the depths of the dense forest.

However, when he rushed to the depths of the forest, he found that the situation here was exactly the opposite of what he had imagined, and the dead branches were still growing well on the trees, and they were rarely broken by the wind and fell to the ground.

Zhang Shaofei secretly wondered: why is it the same mountain forest, not so many dry branches blown off by the wind in the dense forest; And there are not many dry branches blown off by the wind in the dense forest? Could it be that the wind only swept over the edge of the jungle, not into the depths of the jungle?

At this time, Zhang Shaofei found that the wind in the dense forest was really much smaller than that in the non-dense forest. Is this ..... the wind has stopped? Zhang Shaofei raised his head and saw that the tallest treetops were still shaking violently, making a "whirring" sound of the wind passing by. The wind did not stop. It is the impedance of dense trees that causes the wind speed in the dense forest to drop sharply. The denser the trees, the closer to the middle of the trees, the lower the wind speed, so the less dead branches are blown off the trees.

Zhang Shaofei, in reality, has discovered another law of nature!

Suddenly, Zhang Shaofei thought of the quiet waterhole in the middle of this mountain forest. Almost at the same time, a spark-like light flashed through his mind.

He rushed to the middle of the mountain forest and stood by the waterhole.

What a wonderful and unique sight! The wind and clouds are rolling in the sky, and the secluded pool is in the quiet place in the forest; The sky is vast, the wind is surging, the black clouds are rushing like the tide, the white clouds are like the waves splashing, or blocks or pieces, there are high and low, large and small, very different, the floating clouds are long, long and long, and often long and often disappear; Bitan is secluded, the dense forest is blocked, there is no wind blowing, the water waves are not exciting, smooth as a mirror, although the water mirror is small, but the whole sky is included in it, reflecting the mountains and rivers without heart, according to the heavenly phenomena and unintentionally, let you alternate in spring and autumn, the wind and clouds change, the moon sets and the sun rises, or cloudy or sunny, I do not move, do not move.

This scene is just like the state of mind of a person.

If a person establishes strict precepts in his mind, it will be difficult for the various winds of the outside world to blow his calm mind. A calm heart is a peaceful heart, a wise heart, and a wonderful heart. Because it is immovable, unambiguous, and reflects all the existence of all, it can accurately observe the objective truth, and then it can fully grasp the true meaning of things, go straight to the root, enter the core, grasp the essence, and unify the rhythm with the objective law of natural development. The mind, in this case, is intuitive, inspired, and so extraordinarily magical.
