476 Daily life
The old Taoist priest who resembled Lin Xiao took Qi Shuming, who was only seven or eight years old, to jump on the mountain path, and Qi Shuming, who had nothing to do, finally remembered what situation he was in before, obviously he was contemplating the "Nine Heavens Yuan Sutra" The many pills contained in it were intended to quickly replenish the lack of mana after the poison was cured, and then the Yuan Ling was dizzy and appeared in the dilapidated Taoist temple in the mountains, but the old Taoist priest in the Taoist temple still looked like Lin Xiao, Qi Shuming didn't understand at this time that this was Lin Xiaoshi's uncle's means, that was a fool.
Since the ancestor acts in this way, then there must be the painstaking efforts of the ancestor, Qi Shuming naturally has no resistance, as long as he cooperates well, and then Qi Shuming found that even if he doesn't cooperate, he can't actually do anything: there is no aura, no mana, and even his own divine sense can't release the sea of knowledge, let alone inward-looking, only the instinct of his own body still exists. Qi Shuming was accustomed to the life of an immortal, and he couldn't help but feel bitter at this time.
The speed of the old Taoist priest who resembles Lin Xiao in the mountains is also fast, and he sets off at the beginning of the sun, but when the sun is in the middle of the sky, he has already walked out of the mountain road for more than 100 miles in the mountains, and what appears in front of him is a small mountain col with winding paths, and the deepest part of the mountain col is a mountain spring, which is much more abundant than the spring behind his own Taoist temple, at least now Qi Shuming can still hear the sound of flowing water.
It's not that the old Taoist priest and Qi Shuming, the one-yuan little Taoist boy, don't want to stop, but they have to stop, one is thirsty, and the other is also a little hungry: before the one-yuan little Taoist boy fainted, he just ate half of the vegetable dumplings kneaded mixed with wild vegetables, leaves, and bran. And near the mountain spring in front of them, the old Taoist priest and the one-yuan little Taoist boy both saw that there was food everywhere! Everyone's eyes were filled with green light—two black-haired wild boars with seven or eight little pigs were drinking water by the spring!
Yiyuan Xiaodao Tong lay on Lao Dao's shoulder, approached Lao Dao's ear, and was about to speak, but Lao Dao covered his mouth, and the voice as small as a gnat but very clear sounded in Xiao Daotong's ears: "Don't speak, this is not the wild boar's nest, for the teacher's estimation, this is just a place for the wild boar to drink, if we find the wild boar's nest, maybe we can find more food." Don't worry, apprentice, you eat a vegetable dumpling first, and the master will roast wild boar for you to eat later. ”
"Hey, hey, hey. The master and apprentice looked at the whole herd of wild boars, and there seemed to be roasted golden pork in their eyes, and the pork dripping with golden fat from time to time on their bodies couldn't help but laugh silently together.
Qi Shuming's body occupied by the little Taoist boy was also full of relishes at this time, if it weren't for Qi Shuming's very strong self-discipline, even if he reacted and closed his mouth, his saliva would fall on the old Taoist's clothes. It's just that in this way, Qi Shuming is also confused: What's wrong with me? Even if I can't use my mana divine sense now, I can't see a few wild boars, so I'm hungry like this, right? Where has all the concentration that I cultivated in the past gone? Looking at the old Taoist priest who looks like Lin Xiao, who is salivating, where does he look like a person with a high sense of Taoism, no different from the people in the market? Could this be the purpose of the master uncle?
"Silly boy, don't guess! Do you know what cultivation is?" A voice emerged from the bottom of Qi Shuming's heart. "Yes, what is the path of cultivation?" "Isn't it to purify one's heart, transcend the world, and live with heaven and earth?"
"Phew! Shit! Cultivating immortals, let's first see how to write the word "immortal", one person and one mountain are called "immortals", there are mountains on the mountain that are immortals, this is out of the world; if you want to get out of the world, you must first be in the world, that is, in the red dust, only by surveying the soft red dust of ten zhang, can you be called the word "immortal". But if you look at the world, how many of them are really surveying the red dust? All of them are people who sell their fame and reputation! Even if they have great cultivation and can fly into the sky and the earth, and carry mountains and seas, they are still competing for interests! How can they be called "True Immortals"!
Therefore, the ancient "Immortal" was the object of envy of the hidden people, the busy beings in the red dust, and the people of my generation have achieved cultivation and also yearn for the kind of seemingly leisurely life, so the various realms of cultivation are named after "Immortals", but in fact, it is not true. Therefore, my boy, practice and practice have nothing to do with leisure, even if it is a mixed Yuan Daluo Jin Immortal, can you really be free? Therefore, practice is fighting, fighting with the sky, competing with the earth for profit, and competing with people! Look at this group of beasts in front of you, if there is no leading male wild boar, this group of beasts will be food for others to slaughter!"
The old Taoist priest carried the little Taoist boy on his back and chased the wild boars all the way down, but after half an hour, he saw a pine forest in front of him, and there was a mud pond on one side of the pine forest, knowing that there was a place where the wild boars settled - the pine forest can hang a suit of armor on the wild boar, and the mud pond ensures the source of the wild boar's armor, and because it is wet, there is never a shortage of edible wild fruits, which is a natural blessing for wild boars.
Now that he has a quasi-place, Lao Dao also sped up his pace, like a projectile star throwing, and walked into the pine forest in a few vertical leaps. The pine trees here are very tall, and they are located in a cold place, and there is no lack of sunshine, and the forest is full of old pines that are more than hundreds of years old, with strong joints and mottled bark. Lao Dao took out a short sword out of nowhere, and in the flash of cold light, a piece of pine branch with a thick bowl mouth was cut off by the short sword.
Yiyuan Xiaodao Tong didn't know why, "Master, what are you doing with these pine branches, are they used to hunt wild boars? But those wild boars are covered in strong armor, and even ordinary steel arrows can't shoot through, what is the use of these pine branches?"
"Hehe, boy, today Master will teach you a good job, these pine branches really can't pierce the strong armor on the boar's body, but why use these pine branches to pierce it? Don't forget that although the wild boar is fierce, it is fierce in the pair of fangs of the wild boar, and it is rushing back and forth tirelessly, but there is one of them, that is, the wild boar's legs are short! Just let the boar's four hooves in the air, will it still rush up? Is that pair of fangs still dangerous to people?
This is also a truth, to use your brain, sometimes it seems to be time-consuming, but it is the most labor-saving approach, on the contrary, at the beginning, I rushed up, with the master and my short sword, in the face of two big wild boars, I am afraid that it is the master and I who will flee in the wilderness, maybe I will be injured on the two beasts. The further he said, the more indifferent the old Taoist priest's face became, and when it came to the last sentence, the murderous coldness that emanated from his whole body made the little Taoist priest a little chilled.
The arrangement of the old Taoist priest is simple, in fact, it is also very painstaking, there is no old vine near the pine forest, only the pine branch can be used purely as the structure, and the pine ball is woven out of two pine balls with only one opening, as long as the wild boar rushes into the mouth, with the help of the momentum of the wild boar, the pine ball can be rolled up, and the limbs of the wild boar are trapped in the dense pine branches, and finally the power can not be exerted, trapped in the local area.
The old Taoist is working on the side, but he did not forget to find some food for the little Taoist priest of one yuan, this pine forest is located in an inaccessible place, usually in addition to a few wild boars foraging here, only birds and squirrels, so there are pine cone pine towers that have fallen over the years, and pine nuts have the most nourishing food, and they are very hungry, and they are wonderful to use to satisfy their stomachs, and the most important thing is that this is the territory of wild boars, there are no other large predators, and the little Taoist martial arts have not succeeded, which can be described as extremely safe.
One Yuan Xiaodao Tong Qi Shuming walked to the depths of the pine forest, picked up a pine tower from time to time to check one or two, put the large full pine nuts into the pocket on his shoulders, and from time to time sent one or two grains into his mouth, "snorting" sound, in the end, there is some foundation for practicing qi, the pine forest here is also an ancient tree for the elderly, after the use of one hundred and ten pine nuts, the little Taoist boy's face actually has a touch of blood, much more ruddy than before.
At this moment, there was a terrible cry of "hiss, hiss, hiss" on the edge of the pine forest, Xiaodaotong was happy in his heart, and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the outside of the forest, although it was a dense forest of ancient pine stems and winding, the branches were high and low, but Xiaodaotong was not affected by the slightest, and his body shape was also high and low, suddenly jumping, suddenly leaning over, it took an hour to come, but it was only a moment to go back.
When the little Taoist boy came to the edge of the pine forest with a little panting, and peeked out from behind a thick ancient pine, he saw two huge wild boars with black and brown stripes hanging upside down on the shelves that were one person high, and now they were still humming and chirping powerlessly, and on the other side, six little wild boars that were only more than two feet long were tied by the old Taoist priest with two hind legs and hung on the shelf built by the pine branches。 So Xiao Daotong couldn't help laughing - after being hungry for so many days, he finally had meat to eat again!
"Huh?" Yiyuan Xiaodaotong laughed for a while, and finally found a question, that is, where did the master go? Just watching the two big wild boars swaying in circles with the wind on the shelf, but Master? Even if it is so quiet outside the pine forest at this moment, but the more quiet it is, the more Xiao Daotong feels a little creepy and terrible, on the little face that was still laughing just now, fear slowly occupies more than half, the more he thinks about it, the more scared he is, the more he scares himself, but before Xiao Daotong cries, there is a very ugly mountain slang tune in the distance, and Xiao Daotong can't help but turn crying into laughter, but a crystal teardrop in the corner of his eye betrays himself.
Even if Lin Xiao created a dream here, he naturally knew everything, how could everything that Qi Shuming had turned into a little Taoist boy escape Lin Xiao's eyes, and the singing voice that came from afar was to relieve the surrounding area, Qi Shuming was still a sect leader in the end, and the true spirit was attached to the Taoist child's body for experience, but it couldn't make Qi Dazhangjiao really cry because of this. However, it is true to take this opportunity to open the way for Qi Zhangjiao.
A gentle voice sounded in Qi Shuming's heart again: "Boy, this will know what fear is, right? Fear comes from the unknown, so fear can never be avoided. What we cultivators have to do is to face up to fear, the world has never been omniscient, the more we know, the more we will find the unknown, so what we need to do is awe, not fear, so we have to change the way of thinking, fear brings the unknown, and the unknown is also the goal of our quest, so that fear is no longer fear, but awe. ”
"Western Buddhism pays attention to joy, anger, worry, fear, love, hatred, desire, of which fear is just one of the seven feelings, it seems that there are thirteen kinds of differences between seven emotions and six desires, in fact, if you can see clearly one of the fears, the others are trivial, this is also the fundamental point of my disciples' practice, unlike your master, my ancestor and I focus on guidance, and your master re-abandons, one is easy and then difficult, and one is difficult and then easy. Ancestor, I don't comment on the path your master has taken, but I hope you can do both. ”
What puzzled Qi Shuming the most was not the voice in his heart, but that the voice was never heard clearly, and he quickly forgot it after listening to it, and he didn't even have a little impression, and the whole person was always in a state of waking up and not waking up and sleeping instead of sleeping, but in this way, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed in his heart.
Lao Dao moved quickly, and the singing was only in his ears for a moment, and Lao Dao, who was carrying a bunch of peaches on his shoulder, appeared in front of Yiyuan Xiaodao Tong, followed by cleaning up the wild boar and having a barbecue dinner.
After eating a feast of roasted wild boars and filling a belly with sweet mountain springs, the master and apprentice lay on the thick pine needles very without image, while using pine needles to pick between their teeth, while looking at the cloudless blue sky above their heads and worrying: this group of wild boars was captured by the old Taoist, and the two of them can also eat their bellies, but there is no way to take these wild boars to the road to eat - the little Taoist priest is too small, and he still needs to be carried by the old Taoist to walk a long way, and there is more strength to resist hundreds of pounds of wild boars walking, not to mention more than one.
The weather is hot, and it is not a problem that meat is not easy to preserve, so on the edge of the pine forest, can there be any lack of smoked materials? It's just that the little Taoist boy finally ate a full meat feast, and he can't let go of it in his heart—not greedy, but it is also a big problem that cultivators often encounter in their cultivation!
Although Qi Shuming was unable to control Xiao Daotong's actions, he became successful in interfering with Xiao Daotong's thoughts, which made Qi Shuming excited: Qi Shuming found that although he couldn't directly control Xiao Daotong's every move, he could also get closer and closer to controlling the whole body by changing Daotong's thoughts, and at the same time, he was unconsciously amused by many thoughts in Xiaodaotong's heart, and the heart lake like a dead pool of water in the past gradually rippled.
The next is the walking, living, eating, drinking, and dissolution of ordinary normal people, and from time to time they have to go over the mountains and mountains, and from time to time they have to avoid the pursuit of large groups of predators.
