Li Shuishan gently pinched the edge of the bowl, and the nose also fell on the aroma of wine, which was strong, with an endless fragrance, as the saying goes, where there is wine, there is a poem, the girl casually has a surplus of a song, for example, the cave master show hangs a spring, and the seller and the buyer have nothing. The pouring water and flowing wine dragged the heart, and the thousand calls became nothing.

Rotten bamboo enjoyed it, and most of the vigilance in his heart was gone, and he said after sipping his mouth: "Good wine, good wine, there are many years of storage, and there is a little happy taste, I have to say that this place is very nourishing." ”

The little girl smiled brightly and said, "The wind here is very gentle, I like to swim in the water the most, those shadows of the sun have burned my heart, you can rest here for a few days." ”

Li Shuishan smiled slightly, and said softly: "Thank you for the kindness of the little girl, we will leave after a short stay." ”

At this time, the man in coarse linen clothes took the cooked chicken, as well as cucumbers and other fruits, some simple vegetarian food, a total of five or six plates, and gently placed them on the table, and a woman with a straight belly behind him smiled and bowed slightly, Li Shuishan had to signal her to get up.

The woman said: "It's not good for the mourning family to bend down, how sorry." Since the Taoist is here, let me rest for a few more days, and I will prepare wine and food for you. ”

Rotten bamboo said: "You're welcome." We happened to be here, the scenery is beautiful, the people are dense, and we were blown away by your hospitality, which is really hard to describe. ”

After the man in coarse linen sat down, the little girl retreated with the woman, and Li Shuishan faced him and said, "What should I call you?"

The man in coarse linen said, "You can call me Qiu Feng." I don't know what to call you?"

Li Shuishan said: "Li Shuishan." ”

Rotten Bamboo said: "Rotten Bamboo."

Qiu Feng pondered: "You say that you are Li Shuishan, and when you hear it, you have a name and a surname, and you, a Taoist, say that you are a rotten bamboo, so you must be a Taoist number." Rotten bamboo, what can rotten bamboo have?"

Rotten Bamboo replied, "You guessed right, Rotten Bamboo is my road number. As for what rotten bamboo can have, this is what it says. ”

Qiu Feng grabbed the bowl and put the wine, and listened carefully to him: "The master is a bad and bitter Taoist, born because of barrenness, advocating crossing people and suffering, has walked countless mountains and rivers, turned into an ascetic cultivator, his eyes are like light, his breath is mixed, he settled in a remote bamboo forest in the middle of the night, where there is no grass and no birds, and even some weeds do not grow. At that time, he didn't notice that the bamboo around him was rotten, and it was only when he heard the baby crying and picked me up that he realized that this place was a rotten bamboo forest. Because of this, I got the fate of Taoism and named it Rotten Bamboo. ”

Qiu Feng nodded and sighed: "I have such an experience. ”

The three of them ate wine and meat together, and Li Shuishan naturally asked, "I wonder how much of the scholar who came here will leave here?"

Qiu Feng pondered: "That scholar is rich in five cars, has tens of thousands of scriptures in his head, and understands all kinds of complicated matters, and his calculation of our place has reached the extreme, and the family next to him has prepared wine and meat for him, I drank a few sips of wine at that time, and the wine followed the wine to ask him some things about literature, and I didn't know that his words deeply touched me." He said, the years have passed, the dynasty has changed, a thousand years have been spent, a bowl of water and a side of love, a stream, a clump of weeds, and in the end what remains is nothing more than a poem written by generations of victors, where will you remember what death and joy?

"I also asked in a good way, what is the name of a dynasty?"

"The four words he said,

Succession rises and falls. This is the law of the movement of the stars, sometimes a star slips down with some quietly changing news, and the celestial master who can observe the stars can even calculate the strangeness of the sun and the moon. And what is literature? It seems that there is no point in it. He said that a dynasty is literature, and literature is a dynasty. ”

But then I thought about it, and what he said was a bit extreme. I don't know what a dynasty is, but I know that the people here have coexisted in harmony, and the group that has been drawn out is similar to what he said, and my ancestors must have told us that we are a branch of the human race that walks the mountains and rivers, and we also walked into this place with the guide compass of the Taoist, and as soon as we entered here, we cut off contact with the outside world. ”

"Even if there are Taoists who come here from time to time, they will leave in a hurry like you, and there is a hint of fear in your eyes. ”

"Only the scholar didn't, his eyes were full of hatred, and I don't know what he went through. ”

Li Shuishan pondered: "I guess the word: resentment." ”

Qiu Feng said after drinking: "Maybe, but I don't understand." ”

Li Shuishan held the wine and said: "Then you don't have to understand anymore." ”

Qiu Feng was a little disappointed, and said lightly: "To be honest, I have lived here for most of my life, and I don't know what the outside world is like. I have flipped through the books left by my ancestors, which clearly read, one flower is primitive, two flowers are the founding of the country, and three flowers are the Taizhi, and they came to the early stage of the founding of the country, when the heaven and earth were divided and merged without any decision, the ancestors fled in the war, and rushed to the deserted Dachuan day and night, and a Taoist man in green clothes saw his pity and gave them a compass, saying that it would be broken when he arrived at the place he guided, and then they settled down, and this officially saved us from suffering. ”

"We have grown from a dozen to a few hundred, we are self-sufficient, free from any diseases, and we will die naturally at the age of 100. The outsiders who came were very envious of our longevity and self-possession, but our ancestors also wrote at the end that this is a curse, and it is also my choice for you. ”

"This curse restricts our freedom, but it also saves us from the chaos and wars of the outside world, and we live here in peace, where there is any strange sight, a few days of light rain or heavy rain, and then the sky is clear, and the blue waves in the distance are empty, I am a little bored. I know it's not good, but I still want to..."

Li Shuishan sighed: "You are still at ease here, people are like this, they are very eager if they can't get it, and they will regret it if they get it." If you believe me, you will put your heart here, and the outside world is really not good. ”

Qiu Feng shook his head and said, "No." ”

A few people chatted while eating.

Rotten Bamboo said: "I don't know what rumors are outside this place, do you know that the scholar who came here has died tragically?"

Qiu Feng was shocked: "I don't know. ”

Li Shuishan said: "I saw the dead body in the dark place where I walked into this place, and the pages of the book he turned under his hand are also a record of your paradise, you may not know that you can't enter this place twice, and every time you want to tell others about the news here, the person who comes to find it is dead." And no one will ever find it. ”

Qiu Feng said: "It's a curse." ”

Li Shuishan said: "Yes and no. But you have to remember that this kind of gift and punishment. The Taoist who gave you the guidance of the Ancestral Compass must have also asked him if he was willing to accept it. If they accept it, they will give it with their punishment and gifts, and if they don't, they will continue to sleep in the riots

Yes, you can't eat or drink. It's a choice that has to be made. ”

Qiu Feng laughed miserably: "I know." Even though I don't accept this suggestion, I want to get out. ”

His eyes were tightly closed, he opened suddenly, and a weak aura surrounded him, and then blew around, which was mixed with some lethality, and Li Shuishan, who was watching, frowned and said: "Yes, you actually learned some cultivation methods by yourself, you created them yourself?"

Qiu Feng nodded and said: "Exactly, I found a text in the ancient book of my ancestors, there were constant thunderstorms that day, and it happened that I was struck by lightning, so I could carry a faint aura, and sometimes I could also wrap the thunder around my arm, as for some of the self-realizations behind, I fully understood." For some reason, since that day, I often see some strange scenes, such as the sun and moon are fake, such as ghosts in the mountains, I always thought it was a hallucination. ”

Li Shuishan took a sip of wine and said, "Fake is also true, and real may also be fake." ”

"There's no superfluous words in the next place, and as for if you really want to get out of here, I don't know what you're going to go through? ”

He reached into his sleeve, rummaged for a while, and grabbed the compass that had just entered the mirror mountains and seas, but it became a clear layer under his palm, here is the formation of mountains and seas, as for getting out of the mountains and seas, it is a great challenge for him, almost invincible, but after he thought about it, he seemed to remember something in his memories, this thing is very mysterious, like fate, but not enough to achieve fate, if you can point to cause and effect, this cause and effect will die, and the cause will come from the dry cicada Taoist person, and the fruit will fall on Li Shuishan.

This can be regarded as a gift from him to Li Shuishan, as for whether it can be done, I don't know anything.

He said softly: "When you walk out of this place, you will definitely encounter a darkness, as well as mountains and seas, this is an extremely dangerous place, if you can live, it is a great virtue, as for not, you will never be able to return to this place, this is also a fantasy of yours." ”

Qiu Feng wanted to kneel and bow, but was pulled up by Li Shuishan.

Li Shuishan knew what he wanted, sometimes it is difficult to change a person's decision from the bottom of his heart, but he couldn't bear to let go, and the consequences in the future would be borne by himself, and after he took the compass, he made up his mind even more secretly in his heart that he would definitely go out of this place in the future and go to the place he wanted to go, and his wife and children would definitely stay here.

They are also very considerate of the man's decision, and they are not afraid of changes in the normal life here.

After being full of wine and food, Li Shuishan was led by Qiu Feng to find a silver land, where you could see the mountains and rivers in the distance, there were looming reeds swaying, and then there was a light rain drifting, they stroked their faces, the moist water vapor made Li Shuishan frown, he felt a place of life, this power is similar to the degree that the aura can be accepted by mortals, when mortals inhale into the body, they will continue to repair the damage of the body, and there are some bad signs, which will evolve into a good trend.

Where this emanation is the rain from the sky.

The taste of the rain is sweet, and the well water is similar.

Li Shuishan stood on the edge of a rice field with gentle steps, there was a scarecrow in his eyes, this scarecrow looked at him with wide eyes, as if he was warning and praying for blessings, he didn't want any Taoist to disrupt the order here, and he didn't want any bad results to happen.

Outsiders can come, but they must leave within a few days.
