Chapter 9: Flowers, Wine, and Moon
Li Yunsheng was also shocked by the scene in front of him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When he poured the twentieth load of water into the tree pond, and was happy in his heart, an indescribable cool breeze swept from the top of the mountain, blowing Li Yunsheng's heart was relaxed, and at this moment, the locust trees above his head seemed to be born out of thin air, and began to bloom at a speed that Li Yunsheng could see with the naked eye.
"Could it be that if you fill twenty buckets of water, this old locust tree will bloom?"
Li Yunsheng stood under the tree and muttered to himself.
"That's right, twenty loads of water from the Moon Tan can make this old locust tree bloom. β
An old man's voice suddenly came, which startled Li Yunsheng, and he thought that the old locust tree was talking, but he immediately heard the footsteps, and saw Yang Wanli walking up with Li Changgeng and several senior brothers.
"Master, you are here. β
Li Yunsheng stepped forward and saluted.
Yang Wanli squinted and nodded approvingly.
"Is this our new junior brother? β
That person Li Yunsheng looked puzzled, so he smiled and introduced: "I am the master's eldest apprentice, Zhang Antai, you will call me senior brother in the future." β
"Li Yunsheng has seen Senior Brother. β
Li Yunsheng felt that he was a little rude, and said a little embarrassed.
Looking at his restrained appearance, Zhang Antai remembered something and then blamed himself: "It's not the right time for you to come, these senior brothers are busy grabbing Xianliang, and I didn't have time to let you know them one by one, let me introduce you to it." β
As he spoke, he pointed to a tall, white-faced and thin man standing beside him: "This is the second senior brother Li Yan, the fourth senior brother and the fifth junior brother went to the Immortal Mansion to discuss business." β
Li Yan put down a cloth bag on his shoulder, and smiled at Li Yunsheng:
"Oh, this old locust tree, we have been watering it for more than ten years, but I didn't expect it to bloom in the hands of the little junior brother, the little junior brother is really lucky."
"This is not luck, I told you a long time ago, watering ten quintals is enough, twenty quintals is a great merit, which of you has poured twenty quintals? β
Yang Wanli drank at Li Yan with a cold face.
As soon as Yang Wanli turned his head, Li Yan made a grimace based on Yang Wanli's expression, and then winked at Li Yunsheng with a smile.
"Don't be introduced by my mother-in-law, I will meet every day in the future, and I will know each other when I meet, what about the third child?
Li Changgeng, who had been hiding at the back, was standing there with a big table on his back at this time, with a flushed face.
The twilight gradually rose, a round of crescent moon hung overhead, the stars in the sky and the silver flowers of the old locust tree reflected each other, and several masters and apprentices of Baiyunguan sat around the table, and the table was full of fruits and vegetables brought by several senior brothers.
"We don't have so many rules in Baiyun Temple, especially at this dinner table. β
Yang Wanli didn't know when he had already poured himself a large glass of wine, and after saying this, he drank it all, and then continued: "I said a long time ago that if anyone among the disciples of Baiyunguan can make this locust tree bloom, it will be a great merit. β
As he spoke, he handed a delicate wine jug to Li Yunsheng: "This pot of white brewing is yours now." β
Baiyun Temple produces immortal food, and Yang Wanli, the master of Baiyun Temple, is good at making wine, especially this Baiyun Brew, even many big people in Qingyun Immortal Mansion have come to ask for it.
"Old man, you are fooling people with your wine again, the sixth child is worth a pot of wine with such great merit?"
The fourth Li Yan pouted.
"This is Baiyun Brew, you know a fart!"
Yang Wanli poured another cup and drank it all. Come and talk about you, I quarrel with each other, and the senior brother in the middle also came out to persuade a few words, and finally the three of them actually began to fight the amount of wine, and Li Yunsheng was dumbfounded, where is this still like a master and apprentice?
"According to the rules of our Baiyun Temple, there are no masters and apprentices at the wine table. β
It was Li Changgeng, the third child who had been silent, who had been silent, and he picked up a large bowl of wine and said apologetically to Li Yunsheng: "Before, I thought that you were the children of those families who came to mess around, and what you did was really unseemly, this glass of wine should be regarded as a senior brother, and I will make amends to you." β
Without waiting for Li Yunsheng to speak, Li Changgeng drank it all.
Li Yunsheng didn't know how to deal with it, so he took a sip of his wine glass and shook his head and said, "Senior brother didn't do anything wrong, you don't need to apologize to me." β
"The little junior brother has such a bearing at a young age, and I am even more ashamed. β
Li Changgeng drank another big glass of wine, and the words that had been held in his stomach couldn't help but feel relieved.
"But why did I see you out of breath the first time I saw you go up the mountain, and the second time I saw you and you became like a fly?"
"Ah, thank you for the book I gave me. Li Yunsheng took out the Qi Cultivation Technique from his chest. "I followed the breath and breath method mentioned above, and after walking up the mountain, I was much faster and less tired. β
"You said you read the book yourself?"
Li Changgeng was stunned, it was easy to read this book, but it was easy to see this once-in-a-century genius.
"Our sixth junior disciple has a clear Dao heart, and any method can be understood at one point. β
The senior brother over there, Zhang Antai, said with a little drunkenness and pride.
This "clear Dao heart" made Li Changgeng stand up in shock.
"Really?!"
He looked at Li Yunsheng in surprise.
"Old man, how did you bring a clear Dao heart to our Baiyun Temple, isn't this a tyrannical thing?"
Li Changgeng pointed at Yang Wanli with an angry face.
"I'm not uncommon, old man... What a clear Dao heart, I'm here... There is no shortage of clear Taoist hearts... It's just that the lack of strength is as big as an ox... Vomit..."
Yang Wanli was so drunk at this time that he couldn't even speak well.
Seeing this, Li Yunsheng hurriedly explained: "Third Senior Brother, although I am a clear Dao heart, my immortal vein is a rootless immortal vein, and I can't cultivate..."
Although Li Yunsheng still doesn't understand what the problem of the rootless immortal vein is, he roughly understands that as long as you have a rootless immortal vein, even if you are a clear Dao heart, it will not help you to cultivate all the way.
Hearing this, Li Changgeng was stunned for a moment, and then said with a painful expression: "It's a pity, it's really a pity!" He immediately comforted Li Yunsheng and said: "It's nothing without a rootless immortal vein, we Baiyunguan don't care about this, we don't have the qualifications of several senior brothers, and the other blessed land disciples of Qiushuimen laugh at our wine bags and rice bags, but how do they know that we are happy to drink wine and eat meat in big bowls? We eat immortal grain and immortal fruits every day, and we still live forever!"
"The words are not rough, the path is an illusory thing, I have heard that many seniors in the door have lived in seclusion in the mountains for a hundred years, and once they go out of the mountain gate, their wives and children are deceased, and there are no relatives and friends, what is the fun of your own immortality?"
The elder brother's wine seems to have sobered up a little.
"What the senior brother said is reasonable, in this Baiyun Temple, I can harvest an ear of rice next year if I plant a seedling in the field, this is the truth!"
The more Li Changgeng spoke, the more excited he became.
"But don't you wonder where these ears of wheat came from?"
Li Yunsheng listened for a long time and finally spoke.
"Why are the ears of wheat born? Hahaha, this is a matter for God to take care of, what does it have to do with us?"
Li Changgeng laughed.
"But I want to ask God. Li Yunsheng said secretly in his heart.
The second senior brother Li Yan, who had been lying on his stomach on the side, glanced up at Li Yunsheng, and then continued to lie down.
From the new moon to midday, several people drank about the same amount of wine, and the boss Zhang Antai and Li Changgeng helped the drunk Yang Wanli to go down the mountain first.
"You like to read?"
At this time, Li Yan, who had no intention of drinking on his face, pointed to the book of qi practice on the table.
"Hmm. β
Li Yunsheng nodded.
"You want to cultivate?"
"Hmm. β
Li Yunsheng did not hide it.
"You probably don't know much about the meaning of the rootless immortal vein, right?" Li Yan stretched his waist and looked up at the crescent moon and said: "If the human body is compared to sitting in a granary, and the grain is compared to sitting on the aura of heaven and earth, the lower grade immortal vein is a small granary, and the grain that can be stored in a small granary is only a few dozen loads, and the high-grade immortal vein is different, he can store hundreds of thousands of quintals of grain, and the rootless immortal vein is like a granary that has been pierced by rats, no matter how big your granary is, how much grain will come in will be missed, even if you are ten million times more fortunate than others, it is futile to not save food." β
"Wouldn't it be nice to fill that hole?"
Li Yunsheng replied a little naΓ―vely.
"Make it up?hahaha!"
Li Yan laughed.
This is the most interesting answer I've ever heard. β
He patted Li Yunsheng's head: "Since you like to read and can read, I suggest that you don't eat your monthly immortal food in the future, change it to the Chengde card, and take the merit card to the Yellow Crane Tower to read." β
"Doesn't Baiyunguan have a book?"
"It's all books that teach you how to farm. β
"I want to read these books too. β
"Whatever you want. β
"If you don't understand something in the future, can I ask you, Second Senior Brother?"
"Remember to bring a pot of good wine. β
"Hmm!"
"By the way, the old man gave you that pot of wine, which can be exchanged for 10,000 Gongde cards, but..."Li Yan smiled slyly: "If you drink it, it will have an extra ten years of life." β
