Three hundred and seventy-five, Green Cliff
Snake Venom Ridge.
It is said that when he met Deng Jia in his early years, he invited Lu Xuan to come to the door as a guest, but later they were piled up one by one, and the two of them no longer had that fate. So much so that decades have passed, and Lu Xuan has never really come to Snake Venom Ridge.
Lu Xuan still remembered that Deng Jia's cultivation had a lot to do with the genus of the spirit snake, so in his imagination, he inevitably thought of the snake venom ridge as a poor mountain and bad water.
However, to his surprise, the scenery here is completely different from what he imagined, although it is not a beautiful scenery of Lingshan, but it is also a place of beautiful mountains and rivers, mountain streams and pine forests.
In particular, the bamboo forest is dense, dancing with the wind, making a rustling sound, adding a bit of brightness.
When he came, it was far more appropriate to call this place Qingzhu Ridge than any snake venom ridge.
Falling into the mountains, Lu Xuan saw many snakes and insects after a while. These snakes and insects are either coiled on the bamboo, or hiding in the cracks of the stones, which are inconspicuous, but they can't hide from Lu Xuan's spiritual sense.
After a cursory sweep, there are a lot of poisonous snakes, and many more spirituality, although they are not really good, but they are also very rare.
Just looking at these snakes and insects, Lu Xuan knew that it should be raised by Deng Jia, and as soon as his thoughts turned, he said loudly: "Deng Jia's Taoist friends can be on the mountain, and friends can visit!"
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, the snakes and insects began to move, and after a while, between the dancing bamboo forests, a voice containing joy was heard.
"Deng Jia is here! But Lu Xuan and Lu Daoyou?"
As soon as the words fell, in the bamboo forest, a thin figure wearing a soapy Xuanqing Taoist robe came with the wind, holding a green bamboo pole, twisting his feet, stepping on multi-eared shoes, his eyebrows were full of joy, who was not Deng Jia.
Seeing Deng Jia, Lu Xuan also smiled, and bowed: "It's Lu, Deng Daoyou, I haven't seen you for decades, it's really been a long time!"
"Haha! Deng is feeling that something happy is going to happen today, and he doesn't want Lu Daoyou to visit, so he is really happy!"
Deng Jia stepped forward, returned the salute, and hurriedly asked: "Since I met Daoyou, Daoist friends have never come to sit in my Snake Venom Ridge, and it is rare to come here today, so please hurry up." ”
Lu Xuan was also not polite, so he went up the mountain with Deng Jia.
Not long after, I came to a green cliff and saw three bamboo houses, which should be the place where Deng Jia practiced.
Although it is a little simple, it is also elegant.
"This abode of Daoyou is also very elegant. ”
When Lu Xuan saw the bamboo house, he couldn't help but praise it.
The bamboo house is not as good as the Xianfu Qionglou he has seen, and he can't even compare it with his Lingchi blessed land, but he can practice in this kind of place, and he has a special charm.
It is said that when the golden beard was eliminated, among the few people in the same meeting, Deng Jia was the most pure, and he was a rare upright person in the side door and scattered cultivation, and now looking at the location of this cave, it is not difficult to understand.
Practicing in such an environment will also be affected to some extent.
In fact, Xuanmen practice, why the immortal mansion is arranged into such a pure spirit fairyland, there is no lack of reasons, the predecessors of the true immortals who have achieved the fruit of the Dao may not care very much, but if the disciples of the sect practice in such an environment all the year round, it is also good for the adjustment of the mind.
It's not just about looking good.
In the side door of the scattered cultivation, the conditions are insufficient, and there are also reasons for pursuing the beautiful mountains and rivers to make caves, of course, most people are just pure, not disturbed by the world, and do not understand the reason.
"The cold and ugly place is not as good as the Taoist cave dwelling, and the place where it is not thoughtful, I hope to take care of it more. ”
Deng Jia said politely.
When Lu Xuan heard this, he laughed: "I haven't seen you for many years, and there are a lot of Taoist friends. ”
Deng Jia smiled: "Haha, I didn't know how to be polite in the past, and there were a lot of offenses, but I don't mind the Taoist friends, otherwise it would be my sin." ”
Lu Xuan naturally knew that Deng Jia had some purpose in befriending him back then, but he didn't care, in exchange for him to be a casual cultivator, and when he met an authentic monk of Xuanmen, he would inevitably have some thoughts, and it was rare that Deng Jia didn't have any idea of using it, and he could see a few points from Deng Jia's almost no search for Lu Xuan over the years.
If he has a heart, even if Lu Xuan has a lot of things and rarely shows up, since he knows that Lu Xuan is in Ailao, in order to get closer, he will go to Ailao Mountain to visit under his name, and it can be seen that Deng Jia is still worth befriending.
"I now less in Ailao Mountain meditation, I have a dojo, I used to specialize in practice, and I rarely walk down the mountain, so I don't have to visit friends from all directions, it's not that I have forgotten the relationship between friends, if Taoist friends have free time in the future, you might as well go to Wudang Mountain to find me. I opened up a blessed land there, there are quite a few pavilions, and I also accepted some disciples, and few friends visit me on weekdays, and it is a little deserted. ”
Lu Xuan mentioned the blessed land of the Spirit Pool.
It is said that when he did not have his own cave mansion in Wudang Mountain, it was really difficult to invite friends to get together, after all, he was still practicing in Master's cave mansion, and if he really wanted to invite friends, it would inevitably disturb Master and Senior Sister to retreat, but now that he has his own cave mansion, it is different.
Not to mention that the blessed land of Lingchi is not small, but only that there are Lao Huang and others to take care of them, as well as the boys and servants of the cave mansion, they will not neglect the guests.
Deng Jia was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said happily: "Daoist friends have opened a dojo now? I have no news, but I have never heard of it, if I had known about it, I would have to pay a visit." ”
"Speaking of which, I also have few friends in southern Xinjiang, after all, Taoist friends also know the chaos in southern Xinjiang, in recent years, there are more and more demon sect disciples in southern Xinjiang, and there are more troubles, and there are fewer friends, many Taoist friends are due to changes in the situation, each has a place to go, so that most of the time I am meditating in the mountains, since Taoist friends now have a dojo, but there is free, I am afraid that I will often be disturbed, I just hope that Taoist friends will not think I am annoying. ”
Lu Xuan shook his head and smiled, and talked to Deng Jia about the old years, and after the two exchanged pleasantries, he mentioned this intention.
"Speaking of which, there is something to ask for help from Daoyou this time, but I don't know if you can have some news here. ”
Lu Xuan said.
Hearing this, Deng Jia was not surprised, he didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and there was no shortage of personal contacts between his friends, and the relationship between him and Lu Xuan really had to be discussed, and it was not how close he was, and he had one or two meetings in his early years.
So he said directly: "Fellow Daoists, if I can help, I will not refuse." ”
Lu Xuan said: "Thank you." ”
"But I didn't know if you had any news about Puhua Daoyou recently? I went to Kunmi City to meet Zhang Shuyuan and Zhang Daoyou. When asked about Pudaoyou, he only said that he didn't know, or he could come to you to inquire about one or two. ”
"I know some, but Puhua Daoyou has been wandering around since he came, and from time to time he has made some transactions with people by his own means, so Thailand is not in southern Xinjiang for half of the time, and I heard that he went to the Central Plains a while ago, and it seems that he was invited to do a thing, and the reward is quite good, and now I don't know if he has come back. ”
