Chapter 80: Chaos and Conspiracy (II)
After going out, I didn't rush to get busy, but turned around and returned to my own "mansion", saying that it was not quite, his mansion was a mountain, a hill similar to Wudang but different.
And on the mountain, there is a Taoist temple, that is his home that belongs to me today, at this moment he stood in front of this Taoist temple, did not rush into the house, but in the huge square outside to watch his little apprentice where to sweep the fallen leaves, once, twice, not in a hurry, but it is like practicing a sword, water drops and stones, water comes naturally.
And the little apprentice didn't seem to notice that I had returned to the mountain at this moment, and was watching him, still holding his broom, constantly sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground, the huge Taoist temple, but the huge mountain was only the two of them.
After all, there is no incense in a Taoist temple, it is just a death, not that he wants those incense money, after all, for him, the name of a great Chu national teacher is placed, and it is destined that this "little Wudang" is not short of money.
"Hmm, master, when did you come back?"
After a long time, the little apprentice swept away the fallen leaves on the ground, but when he looked up, he just saw me sitting on the roof, looking into the distance at the moment, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Just now!"
Hearing his master's reply, the little apprentice happily put the broom aside, but it was a few steps in the void, but after three or two clicks, he also went up to the roof of this "True Martial Palace", carefully sat beside me today, hesitated for a long time, and then weakly asked:
"Master~ When will the senior brother come back!I haven't seen the senior brother since I went up the mountain, at most, a few senior uncles will come occasionally, but they will soon leave, the second senior brother comes once during the New Year's holiday, but it is only a day or two, master, you only come back once in more than half a year, and you can't see your people, only the New Year will stay for a few more days.. But I'm also sitting in this True Martial Arts Hall looking into the distance, I don't know what you're looking at, such a big little Wudang is empty, most of them are me."
The more I talk about the back, the more depressed the little apprentice's business becomes, until the end it is like a mosquito calling, if it weren't for the fact that my ears are very good today, the two of them are sitting close to each other at this moment, and I am afraid that I don't know what this little apprentice is muttering.
"Yes, such a big mountain, it's a bit lonely, but you have some hopes, and what about the master?
Today, I put a hand on the little apprentice's head, but I gently touched his little head, and then looked into the distance, but this time, it was not looking west, but looking north, where he said goodbye to me and another apprentice, a person who had only met once, but left in a hurry, just a big apprentice who "met in the water".
"The master is indeed a little lonely, and there are a lot fewer girls who have come to the door recently, and I remember that when I first went up the mountain, many girls would come to the mountain to find the master, and they would bring me a bunch of delicious food to eat! It tasted great!
I was full of sorrow now, but when I heard what my little apprentice said, I almost didn't spit out a mouthful of blood, and patted the little apprentice's head with my hand angrily, and couldn't help but curse angrily:
"Xuanniao! What do you know! Master, this is called Pudu sentient beings! These donors have fallen into the dust, and the teacher can't bear to let them be like this, so they came out to help, this is called sacrificing oneself to save others, you know!"
Xuanniao, who was hit on the head by me today, touched the back of his head with his hand, but he didn't feel the slightest pain, obviously the master kept his hand when he hit him, otherwise this little head melon seed is afraid that it will be gone, but Xuanniao listened to the master's words, his head was even more confused, and he asked curiously:
"Master.. Isn't it a Buddhist thing to purify sentient beings? Why do we Taoists also purify sentient beings?"
Hearing Xuanniao's question, I didn't roll my eyes angrily, my little apprentice, the qualification of learning martial arts is excellent, but this little head is not very good, I think at the beginning, he brought two women who fell into the mortal world to "solve their doubts", just entered the room at night and turned off the light, before he could start, he heard Xuanniao shouting softly outside the house:
"Master, why do you need to turn off the lights?"
"The scene needs it!"
"Then why are the two sisters panting so hard, are they sick? Do you need me to get the pill?"
"No, just help them get some gas for the teacher! No need to get the pill!"
"Oh~Okay!Master!Then can I come in and learn how to cross the qi? When the master is not there that day! These sisters are sick or whatever, I can help them "cross the qi" for the master!"
"! I don't sleep at night, I'm full of energy, isn't it! Now it's time to copy the "Daozang" fifty times on the bitter stone."
When I think of this, I can't help but shudder now, since I was disturbed by the Xuanniao that day, I suddenly lost interest in this "crossing", every time I want to cross, I will feel that there is a Xuanniao lying on his stomach outside the house, is peeking into the house, so that he has been uneasy for many months, and almost didn't go mad.
It seems to feel the murderous aura beside him, Xuanniao's whole body shook twice unconsciously, but he turned his head a little hesitantly, and saw a murderous look goodbye to me, at the moment he was holding his paws and dangling behind his back, but this turn was just in front of his eyes, so scared that his whole person fell backwards, but he didn't expect this fall, the whole person lost his balance, the whole person was directly on the eaves, rolled down, but three or two rolled out of the Zhenwu Palace, and was about to fall to the ground, fortunately, my fingers were gently raised, but the Xuanniao was pulled back directly from mid-air.
The frightened Xuanniao patted his chest vigorously at this moment, and shouted with a pant:
"It's okay! It's okay! I'm almost dead!"
Hearing Xuanniao's words, I didn't look at him angrily, but I smashed his little head with my hand, and then replied disdainfully:
"Can you fall to death? Is the kung fu I learned from me for nothing?"
Hearing my reprimand today, Xuanniao didn't dare to refute, lowered his head, and was silent, but when I saw this scene, I couldn't bear to be harsh anymore, so I could only snort coldly and said to Xuanniao:
"Apprentice, do you know why, the Buddhist temple is built at the foot of the mountain, the Confucian academy is built in the middle of the mountain, and the Taoist temple is built on the top of the mountain?"
Hearing the question of farewell to me today, Xuanniao didn't know how to answer in his mind, he just had a trace of inspiration in his mind, but he was quickly denied by himself, and he thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with a trace of why, so he could only look at me with pleading eyes, hoping that the master could help him teach him to solve his doubts.
Now I feel the Xuanniao's gaze but he tilted his head away, not looking at him, this time it made Xuanniao a little unsure of what to do, but he guessed everything, but most of them did not answer satisfactorily.
And on the side, I saw Xuanniao sitting quietly next to him thinking about the problem at the moment, but his face was a little proud, and seeing that a lot of time had passed, he spoke again:
"When you can tell the truth that day, then it means that you don't have to stay in this world! Your Tao will be considered enlightened! When the time comes, you will pass through that gate of heaven, but it will be like you going to the toilet in the middle of the night, easily!"
Hearing my words of farewell today, Xuanniao lowered his brows, and did not feel happy because he could cross the gate of heaven, but thought, it is not easy to go to the toilet, after all, their Xiaowu local toilet is on the edge of the cliff, just from the Taoist temple to the thatched toilet has to travel more than ten miles, obediently!
Now I don't feel happy to see that Xuanniao didn't feel happy that he said that he could enter the gate of heaven at the moment, but I was a lot relieved in my heart, thinking that what he wanted was not to simply cross the gate of heaven, and the sadness at this moment was also thinking about the deep meaning of the Tao.
But after thinking for a long time fruitlessly, Xuanniao did not continue to rack his brains to think again, after all, the time is still long, and there is time to think, he actually has a question in his heart at the moment that he wants to ask the next place to say goodbye to me, and today the master happens to be there, and it seems that he has not gone down the mountain for a short time, but he took a deep breath, and mustered up the courage to say goodbye to me:
"Master, why is it that the world cultivates the Tao, and the people who cultivate Buddhism dream of being able to pass through that heavenly question to prove immortality, but only you can already step in, but you refuse to enter?
Hearing Xuanniao ask this question, the eyebrows between my eyebrows are not as impetuous as before, nor are they as tender as before, and they are not lonely before, but they have become noble, become dusty, and become like the golden body of the Zhenwu Emperor of His Royal Highness Zhenwu, which is fascinating, and it is like this farewell to me, but at this moment, I said a sentence that is enough for Xuanniao to chase for a lifetime:
"Celestials, Celestials, Celestials, I don't even look down on them! What are they to me? Hit it, what else can it do?"
These words, don't say this lightly, and Xuanniao is just a chicken pecking rice-like nodding, and the master and apprentice are silent at the moment, now I look at the north again, and Xuanniao is sitting in place, thinking about what the master said.
"Xuan Bird, you go to Da Zhou to pick up your senior brother back, I haven't thought about him for more than ten years, if someone stops you, kill it, and the master will help you wipe your ass!"
After saying this, I will never be seen again, and Xuan Niao is not in a hurry to ask again at this moment, he is used to the sudden disappearance of me today, but at this moment, he looked at the big Zhou that the master said, looked at the north north of Da Chu, and muttered to himself:
"Senior brother?"
