Thinking of Innocence Chapter 4 The Temple on the Mountain
A frightened wind swept by, and a Confucian scholar suddenly appeared in mid-air, his eyes were like torches, looking down, a little strange, just an ordinary village, how could Lu Gen come here? It should be strange, and when he found Lu Gen, he would know as soon as he asked.
The Confucian scholar in mid-air landed in one step, and without walking, he stood, as if bored, flipping through the books.
It is also quite a bit of a Confucian scholar.
"Ha, Brother Qi, why don't you preach, come to me. A lazy voice came slowly with footsteps
Dong Qi read the book in his hand carefully as if he hadn't heard it, and then turned a page, and when the footsteps were gone, the Confucian scholar and Shangshu glanced at the green-robed man beside him, and said: "Brother Lu also has a good Yaxing, he came all the way to my south by boat from Gu Fei, flattered, flattered, if he doesn't fulfill the friendship of the landlord, I am afraid that after I go back, I will be used as a snack by the same door." ”
Dong Qi saw the charm in Lu Gen's palm, although he was curious, he didn't care, but he also kept a thought, Lu Gen seems to be impermanent, but in fact, he is unreasonable everywhere.
Lu Gen smiled: "I haven't heard of anyone who dares to take you, a "great talent", as a drink, no, no, no, there is still one, called, what is it called, Yao Ya, yes, yes, yes, it's him, but I heard that his grave grass is taller than me, and he really scares people to death, and I'm really afraid of the trail." ”
Dong Qi secretly scolded the dog, his face did not change, and changed the topic: "It's just the two of us here, don't interrupt, let's talk about it, you came to this village, what is the so-called thing, it has something to do with the fluctuations of the sky before?"
The Confucian stared at the blue-robed man, if the other four were here, they would all be panicked, eager to tell everything in the fetal period, but Lu Gen's eyes just floated, and from time to time he flicked the leaves of the wild flower essence, completely a son of a family, unrestrained.
As if noticing the gaze of the Confucian scholar, Lu Gen took a few steps back in fear, covered his chest with one hand, and pointed at Dong Qi with the other hand, his face was hideous, and finally he lay on the ground, motionless, as if the Confucian priest in front of him had given him something.
The wildflower also fell to the ground, the soil crumbled, the rhizome turned yellow, and the petals fell off, leaving only a flower center.
The Confucian scholar ignored the blue-robed man's madness, but was thinking about whether to take advantage of this opportunity to strike first, and this idea was quickly stifled by him.
A few minutes passed, and the Confucian priest closed his eyes and recuperated, his breath was faint, and he did not move, and a phantom figure came out of his body in the heavenly spirit, and then wandered above the village.
"Squeak. ”
The blue-robed man who was lying on the ground slowly stood up, tilted his neck, and dragged the wildflower back into his palm, this time, he did not condense new petals for the wildflower.
Lu Gen looked at the Confucian scholar with his eyes closed, he didn't say a word, he didn't make any extra movements, he slapped him directly, as if he didn't feel happy, and punched again......
After a while, the Confucian scholar who originally had some fairy wind bones turned into a dusty man with a blue nose and swollen face... Beggar?
When Dong Qi's soul returned to his body, he instantly felt a strong pain coming from his face, and when he noticed the abnormality of his body, almost immediately, he looked directly at the smiling man on the side, and said angrily: "Lu Gen, don't think that your surname is Lu, I won't dare to kill you!"
Lu Gen was still smiling, squinting at the Confucian scholar, the mockery in his eyes was not disguised, and he muttered: "Okay, okay, these days, a traitor to the academy is going to be anti-guest?!"
"Hmph!" The Confucian snorted coldly, grinned bitterly, he was really angry, he let out a long breath, and recited the meditation mantra that he had passed down when he entered the entrance, and after a while, Dong Qi smoothed out the ripples in his heart, looked at the man in the green robe quietly, and said flatly: "Let's talk about you and me?"
Lu Gen sat down.
The Confucian hesitated for a moment, patted the dust on the ground, and then sat cross-legged, and said, "If you can do it alone, you won't sacrifice such a clumsy talisman on your body." ”
Lu Gen held the wildflower and sighed, "Yes, but I just want to disgust you." ”
Dong Qi didn't bother with it, and said to himself: "My soul is out of my body, and I haven't noticed any abnormalities in the landscape, and the essence in your hand shouldn't have noticed the abnormality, otherwise you wouldn't be here at this time." ”
Lu Gen said in one sentence: "The least rank is a Taoist soldier." ”
The Confucian stood up violently, didn't pat the dusty white clothes, and said hurriedly: "Brother Lu is this true?"
Lu Gen didn't answer, but just glanced at him, as if to say: I will lie to you?
Dong Qi's expression was uncertain, calculating the truth of Lu Gen's words before landing in his heart, and at the same time, he was also thinking about why Lu Gen told him, why not enjoy the opportunity alone?
The Confucian once again calmed down the ripples in his heart, sat cross-legged, looked at the man with some kindness, and hugged his fists and said: "Brother Lu, no matter whether your previous words are true or false, why don't you go alone to seize the opportunity, you brother, I admit it." ”
The man glanced at Confucius with disgust, and then moved his buttocks.
The Confucian scholar looked calm and said kindly: "I am often in the lower cultivation, but I can't find the clues, I'm really ashamed, Brother Lu is from a big family, and his cultivation is profound, I don't know what news there is?"
Lu Gen just plucked the rhizome of the wildflower, and said nothing, for a while, when he seemed to notice that there was such a "brother" beside him, he was a little surprised, and said innocently: "Brother Qi, what are you still doing here?"
The Confucian was expressionless, scolded secretly, stood up, patted the dust on his clothes, and said: "It's stupid, I don't understand Brother Lu's good intentions, Brother Lu will stay here for a while, wait for the younger brother to explore, if there is any news, I will notify you as soon as possible." ”
As if he hadn't heard, the man in the green robe slowly stood up and walked in the direction of the temporary moment with a big grin, leaving the Confucian scholar with a rather chic back.
Dong Qi was holding a book in his hand at this time, turned some pages, and only when Lu Gen's back disappeared did he unhurriedly reconcile.
The Confucian touched the bruises on his face, hissed, and it hurt to look at it.
Dong Qi walked slowly, although the Confucian scholars of culture and education did not kill innocents indiscriminately, but he betrayed the branch of culture and education and did whatever he wanted.
————
Women, youths and teenagers walked slowly to the temple amid laughter, and when the teenager asked why he came here, Lin Ye told Ye Wuxian that it was the sky broken, so why not come to the mountain to pray for God and peace of mind.
When the woman Aunt Yun came here earlier, she cleaned the temple briefly, and lit a few incense sticks and red candles.
When the young man walked to the gate of the temple, he put the branches and white seeds into the dustpan on his back, put his hands together, and saluted with a serious face.
The man smiled and said: "Innocent, you just now made such a ceremony when the scribe worshiped the Confucian temple, but this temple is dedicated to Taoist immortals." ”
The man bowed his face, clasped his hands together in front of his abdomen, and bowed to the statue of the god in the temple from the bottom up, and then said, "This is a Taoist ritual." ”
The young man was a little embarrassed, but he said with a straight face: "It's not a big deal, once born and twice matured, I will do it again, and the gods in the temple will not blame." ”
Ye Wuxie recalled the man's ritual action just now, and carefully visualized it a few times, and then hugged his hands from top to bottom, hugged in front of his abdomen, and saluted the temple again.
There are also five or six points similar to the young man's previous rituals.
The man Lin Ye nodded imperceptibly, when he was six years old, he was sent to an old Taoist temple to practice, this cultivation is twelve years, for Taoist etiquette, I don't know everything, but there are still seven or eight, so when the young man saluted, he reminded him and made a salute.
When the sky changed, the master in the Taoist temple clearly told him that the Taoist temple could not bear this catastrophe, and asked him to find those old temples to take refuge.
Aunt Yun has been outside the Taoist temple for twelve years, after the Taoist priest said goodbye to the master, she drove Lin Ye in the car, and asked around the countryside where there was an old temple, and the hard work paid off, and they inquired about a very old man, there is a temple on a mountain called Datian Village, which has not been visited for a long time.
So, they came here, wandered around for a while, saw an old man with a flashlight, walking in a hurry, asked for directions, and found the temple smoothly, and half an hour later, heard a voice from the bottom of the mountain, and found that it was just a child in his early teens.
At first, the woman wanted the boy to return the way he came, but for this reason she seemed to have quarreled with the man, but she could not resist it, so she stood by and did not say a word on the way.
The young man raised his head and whispered, "Brother Lin Ye, the immortals of the temple shouldn't be to blame, right?"
Lin Ye nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, don't you say it's immortals, immortals are all broad-minded, and they won't blame." ”
The young man nodded a little frightened, and then the three of them walked into the temple together.
The whole temple is not big, it is not small, there is a three or eight meters, and there is a high platform in the innermost, a fifteen-inch size statue stands on the pedestal, holding the dust, the law is solemn, under the closer look, the half of the body, there is a long slit straight around the back, as if it is broken in two, but someone has helped it reunite.
One meter away from the statue, there is a long square table with some items for sacrifice, and an incense burner with three candles and four long incense sticks.
Ye Wuxian saw that there were some items on the right side of the temple, so he came to the left, put down the dustpan, and came to the long table, looking at the statue of the god, respectfully bowing.
The woman looked at it and was confused, how could anyone enter the temple and worship continuously? I can only guess that the young man did this to feel a little more at ease, and the sky has broken a hole and crack, who is not afraid, who is not afraid?
Ye Wuxian closed his eyes, and reverently muttered in his heart: "Immortal Master, you are a large adult, first put aside the matter of my previous wrong ceremony, don't I know, I didn't mean it." Okay, put it aside, and you can punish me as much as you want when the time comes. I'm here to ask you for one thing, you see, aren't you a temple on the mountain in Datian Village, and now the sky has broken a big hole, it's scary, do you want to show your spirit and protect it for a while?
Also, you think, Grandpa Wu is the village chief of Datian Village, and you are the old immortal of the temple on the mountain of Datian Village, can you manifest your spirit and shelter his old man?
Also, forget it, although your old man has great powers, he shouldn't be able to control the sky, right?
That's all, no more, no more, not much at all, isn't it? Old fairy, if you manifest your spirit, you must remember that I helped you put the statue of the god in place, and it hurt to cut my hand at that time. Please, please, please remember the fairy master. ”
Ye Wuxian slowly raised his head, with a little energy, as if he had a little peace of mind in his heart?
"Give. The man walked over and handed over a long loaf of bread and said, "After walking such a long mountain road, you must be hungry, so take it and fill your stomach first." ”
The young man hurriedly waved his hand and refused: "I don't want it, Brother Lin Ye, you take it back and keep it, it's so dark this day, it's very inconvenient to go up and down the mountain." He pointed to the dustpan on the side and grinned, "I also brought food, but it was delicious." ”
Lin Ye looked past the young man, glanced at the small dustpan not far away, and then walked back with the bread, took out a book with a dark blue cover in a box, walked over again, handed the book in one hand, held the bread in the other, and said with a smile: "This book was given to me by the Taoist master, I didn't have time to read it, you help me read the words, and I will exchange this bread with you." ”
The man frowned when he saw the young man, and said, "You should have seen it too, there is a car at the bottom of the mountain, there are a lot of supplies in it, and after the food here is eaten, I will go down the mountain to get it." ”
Ye Wuxian did not refuse this time, thinking that the next time he helped the man go down the mountain to get supplies, he would also go down the mountain and get more supplies.
The young man carefully took the book, looked at the title carefully, and could only see one word "scripture" at the bottom, and the other word at the top was blurred.
The man sat cross-legged, the boy stood, he turned the first page, silently recited a paragraph, and was instantly attracted, as if he had forgotten the agreement with Lin Ye, he was silent for a long time, sometimes his brows were tightened, and suddenly his expression was hearty, different and colorful.
Aunt Yun walked over and said a little strangely, "Childe, what is this?"
The man waved his hand casually and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just that this rubbing book still has a little charm." ”
The woman looked at the boy twice, then stepped aside, sat cross-legged, pinched the orchid fingers, and closed her eyes.
The first sentence of the Sutra: Tao gives birth to one, life to two, three to all things, all things negative yin and embrace yang, impulsive and ......
When the young man came to his senses, the first time was to go to the "Sutra", looked at the man with a smile on his face, and said a little apologetically: "Brother Lin Ye, my talent seems to be a little less, I didn't understand the book, but I got in, the evil door, the real evil door." ”
No matter what Lin Ye said, the young man was stunned and stuffed the "Sutra" back into the man's hand, then sat on the side against the wall, took out the water bottle in the dustpan, took a sip and put it back, and then took out the book left by the old man, and with the help of the light, read it silently word by word.
The man put down the bread, took the "Sutra" to the wall where the items were placed, folded a simple shrinking chair, sat on it, very elegant, and then turned the book, at first glance, hey, what kind of Taoist priest in the Taoist temple, this is clearly a little master who has read a lot of books.
He recited the words in the Sutra: "The Tao gives birth to one, one life to two, three to all things, all things negative yin and hold yang, and the impulse thinks that it is harmonious ......."
Ye Wuxian had already put on the book in his hand, listening word by word, the man's words seemed to flow smoothly, refreshing people's hearts, which benefited the young man on the side a lot, and unconsciously compared himself who had just silently recited the "Sutra", his cheeks were a little red, and he seemed to be a little ashamed, I don't know if it was illuminated by candlelight.
The sky has changed, and not to mention the chaotic scenes around the world, there is a temple on this mountain, candles are burning, incense is curling, there is a woman meditating, meditating, there is a blue-shirted Taoist priest, holding a scripture book, sitting like a master is teaching, there is a thin young man, his eyes are bright, holding a Confucian book, sitting cross-legged, listening carefully to the Taoist texts like a student.
It's beautiful, too.
————
The Confucian walked in the village, pressing the heart lake that resisted the waves, his brows were tightly locked, and the information in his mind was listed, mostly the situation of some villages, and there were already several places where Lu Gen had been stuck for a long time, and he had gone to investigate, just some ordinary places.
Dong Qi wanted to use thunder to directly extract the souls of everyone in this village, and he knew it when he asked, but he also wondered why Lu Gen didn't do it, but he couldn't connect to the line.
The Confucian slowed down his thoughts, sat on the ground, and began to swallow, and secretly cursed in his heart that the man who was crazy was really Lu Gen just an ordinary fist and kick? After walking for more than an hour, if he was walking, even if he took one more step, his cultivation would at least fall into the realm, or the avenue would stop.
Otherwise, he would have watched Lu Gen leave so dashingly?
At this time, the man in the green robe who was wandering around the village, came to an old man's house with a smile, threw the wildflower essence on the lawn where the chickens and ducks were fed, and looked like an old acquaintance, and took out the fat old hen that he bought five hours ago.
At the table, the man's sense of smell is like a dog's nose, digging out a bottle of wine under the lawn, on the dining table, if it is not for the man and the old woman to look restrained, in the eyes of others, the man seems to be the long-lost child of their two elders, and they will enjoy the joy of family life at this time.
In the east, an ancient city raised a layer of cyan light curtain, which was extremely green at this time, but faint at the next moment, and the reason for all this was the result of a big man wearing broken armor outside the city.
At this time, an old man's voice came from inside: "Foreign monk, if you want to find an opportunity, why don't you go to other regions, this array is the soul array that the old man's sect has been refining for thousands of years, as long as there is still a soul in the city, the soul array will not break, Your Excellency's cultivation is profound, why stop in a small ancient city." ”
Dahan glanced at a place in the city with disdain, and sneered: "Tsk, such a powerful formation, it really makes me afraid, there is still a soul, the soul array is not broken, what if everyone in this city is scattered?!"
There were some noises from the city, most of which were asking the big men not to have a big tone and small skills.
The big man looked down at the big knife in his hand, and said to himself: "I can't imagine that the formation behind this city has some doorways, although this star is barren, but it can't be underestimated, I just don't know if I can break the formation in one breath?"
Dahan thought for a moment, threw the knife aside, and walked slowly to the cyan light curtain, usually holding a big knife, did he really regard his Jin Zhen as a knife refiner?
In the west, there was silence on this street, under the watchful eye of the street lamp, a red-robed man walked alone with a wooden sword, behind him, corpses were all over the street, young, young and strong, killed, old, a handful of old ones, half a foot into the coffin, it was not interesting to live, help them, the small ones, all dead, why are they still alive?
In the north, there is no abnormality at all, the lights are on, everything is daily, smoothly, as for those criminals who inhale the scattered red mist? There are a lot of people who stay quietly in the bureau, and even some "masters of the Dao" who are not usually born have come to guard, arrange formations, and get rid of evil spirits, everything.
But no one saw that their ears, noses, eyes, and mouths had a large number of insects coming in and out, which was terrifying!
What do insects eat? The ethereal spirit, after eating, and then gnaw from the inside out, to that day, in this northern region, except for Wang Lele alone, there will be no one alive, all of them will become nutrients, and then let the Gu worms collectively devour each other, and then there is one left, that is the Gu King, as soon as he appears, Wang Lele will immediately break through the realm, and use hundreds of millions of people to train the Gu King for nutrients, it is simply a great avenue!
In the middle, there were pieces of crying and wailing, and only a red-robed girl smiled at a trembling hand holding a knife, facing a woman in her arms full of tears, they were originally a couple, but at the moment they had to accept a game.
The girl seemed to be tired of it at first, and then said a game, a rule, as long as the man himself peeled the woman's face, he didn't have to cut off his hands and feet.
The man choked back tears, endured the pain, and slashed the knife in the woman's face again and again, no matter how painful the woman begged, he was hard-hearted and indifferent, until the man trembled and held a bloody dough in the palm of his hand, the dying woman used her last strength and whispered to the man, "Bastard." Then he passed out.
The man closed his eyes tightly, pulled the blood-dripping knife in his hand tightly, did not dare to look at the woman in his arms, the past feelings and joys passed through his mind one by one in an instant, let his heart be cut like a knife, like ashes, but is he wrong? He wants to live, but is she wrong?
The man wept and cried silently.
The red-robed girl suddenly touched her cheeks, a line of tears flowed down unconsciously, she was a little stunned, but she smirked, and finally looked up to the sky and laughed, staggering forward step by step, not looking at the frightened faces of the pedestrians on the road, letting the tears flow down, she was a little depressed.
After the red-robed girl left, the street lights shone straight on, and many men ran like crazy, or hugged the women who saw flesh on their cheeks and cried.
The south, or the most normal region, can be said to be in the real sense, no one died, but in the big city, including the old and young children, almost everyone, they have the same book, all of them are blue book covers, Lang Lang said to read out the words on the book, the tone is frustrated, the smile is full, ignorant, unconscious, insensitive, if there are others come here, don't wonder if you have come to the ancient private school.
It's just that above the castle of these "ancient private schools", there are silk threads that are directly connected to one place.
The Confucian scholar Dong Qi rebelled against culture and education, deceived the teacher and destroyed the ancestors, a big reason is that the teacher does not accept such learning, spread knowledge, this is okay, but if people only live in learning all their lives, this is a great taboo, not to mention, Lu Gen, who is in the same village, has always been unaccustomed to him.
————
The young man in the temple and the "Sutra" in his hand looked at the young man who came back to his senses in a daze with some tiredness, and said with a smile: "Innocent, I only talked about one of the chapters of this "Sutra", and I haven't read the rest for the time being, I'm sorry." ”
The young man stood up in a panic, hurriedly waved his hand, and saluted the man a little clumsily, saying, "No, Brother Lin Ye said it very well." ”
The man smiled and said, "There is no need to be like this, this gift is for the teacher who preaches and teaches karma to solve doubts, I didn't teach you anything, but when I read out the content of the book, I said some of my annotations, and I said it." ”
Or the effort, for the young man, the meaning is extraordinary, this is the first time in his life to hear someone speak, no, it can be said to be a lecture, Taoist scriptures, esoteric, when he first read it, fell into it, completely I know the words, the words do not recognize me.
Lin Ye put the book in his hand, took out a long black cloth and spread it on the ground, it was also wide, enough to accommodate two adults, the man lay down for a while, and then half-sounded, called the young man, pointed to the black cloth, and said: "Innocent, there are still some places here, if you are sleepy, you can come and sleep together." ”
The young man agreed, and said yes, flipped through the books he brought, and read silently with relish.
The man did not fall asleep immediately, took out a sleeping bag, placed it next to the black cloth, and when he lay down, one turned over, put his head on his elbow, and the corners of his mouth were curved and slightly raised, as if he thought of something on his mind, and was smiling.
In the temple, in addition to the sound of some flipping books, there is also a faint sound of snoring, which is called quiet.
Ye Wuxian looked at the words on the book, and unconsciously, he felt a little empty and a little dazed in his heart.
How did the sky break?
The young man thought about all the possible things that could happen, whether the ghosts mentioned in the book existed, whether there were immortals who could fly with a sword, and whether anyone could break a big rock with one punch......
The young man put the book back in his hand, took out the branch, walked to the temple gate and sat down, looking at the sky blankly, although it was dark, but he could see a little light.
Ye Wuxie's body leaned against the wall of the temple gate, the branches in his hands shook from time to time, and when he felt the stinging pain in his eyes, he lowered his head, and leaned against the wall again, the feeling of exhaustion had already surged into his heart, and the Xuan who had been tense also relaxed, closed his eyes, and regarded this as a night's bed to recuperate.
Haha, it also responds to the old saying: the sky is the quilt and the earth is the bed.
Is it true that a teenager is a young and strong athlete who walks so many miles without panting?
If the sky is not broken, the world is not plunged into darkness, then at this moment, there should be a flushed twilight on the horizon, moving, there should be a group of people returning home from work, drinking a sip of steaming soup, or two people who are attracted to each other, hugging each other and snuggling up to each other......
