Chapter 36: If there is no consummation, where does the word "death" come from?
A drizzle of rain in the mountains and forests has made the mountains even greener.
At the foot of the mountain walked the herd, and the cows were eating the grass with their heads down, but they didn't know where the children were grazing the cows.
There is a lake beside the mountain, and there is a fisherman sitting by the water, wearing a coat and hat, and his hair is half white.
There is a boatman on the lake, holding a bamboo pole, rowing the boat slowly and floating.
At the bow of the boat sat a woodcutter with a bundle of firewood on his back, as if he was planning to return to the distant village in the boat.
At the mountain trail, Li Si walked with Bai Yao'er and an umbrella.
It had been raining a lot lately, and he had to buy a new umbrella in a nearby city, he had one before, but it was broken when he was being pursued by Yan Tingzhi.
Bai Yao'er sneezed, she has had some colds recently, but she should be almost better, because on the way here, Li Si had already cooked medicine for her and let her drink it.
Li Si knows some medical skills, or his medical skills are not bad, in the past, when he cultivated internal breath, he had eaten a lot of herbs and poisons, and he knew some of the medicinal properties.
If you can't cure a serious illness, there's nothing wrong with curing a little typhoid cold.
Jinshan Temple is not far away, follow this mountain path all the way down, the end of the road, is the mountain gate of Jinshan Temple.
It's just that the trail is narrow, partial, and steep, so few people will walk this path, and even fewer will walk to the end of the road.
In this way, naturally few people know that there is a Jinshan Temple on this mountain, only that in the lush forest, there will occasionally be a corner of the brick wall and green tiles.
As for how Li Si found this place in the past, who knows.
Maybe it happened to pass by, maybe it was intentionally found, or maybe it was just that I heard the empty chanting sound of the monks in this temple, so I went empty.
In short, even if there is a story, it is just an old and boring story.
Paper umbrellas were hanging with raindrops, white shoes were stepping on stone slabs, and white clothes were stained with a little black mud.
Li Si walked up the mountain with an umbrella, and when he walked, he glanced at the people on the lake at the foot of the mountain.
Bai Yao'er followed him breathlessly.
This girl's light skills are not good, and she can't walk on a slightly steeper road.
"You call this a little steeper?" Bai Yao'er propped up her knees and stepped on the stone steps with difficulty.
Looking at the almost vertical pavement in front of her, she only felt dizzy.
The trail is built deep in the forest, not to mention steep, and there is often moss and silt on the stone slabs, which can roll directly down the mountain if one foot slips, which makes her very careful and difficult with every step.
She was only halfway up the road, and she was almost exhausted.
"It's really not that steep. Li Si stopped, held an umbrella and looked at Bai Yao'er behind him, and said with a sigh.
These young people are really getting worse and worse.
I think when he was a teenager, he climbed a cliff mountain with his bare hands.
"Anyway, I can't. Bai Yao'er gasped, held on to an ancient tree growing diagonally on the side of the road, and said intermittently.
Then she seemed to have thought of some way, and raised her head to look at Li Si.
"Otherwise, you should take me up with light skills. ”
"Don't you say I'll eat your tofu this time?" Li Si hooked his mouth and smiled helplessly.
When he was at the foot of the mountain before, he asked Bai Yao'er if he wanted to bring her directly up, and she still covered her hands and would rather die.
In fact, even if Li Si wants to eat human tofu, she won't look for a little girl like her who wants nothing.
"I, I've never said anything like that. Bai Yao'er held on to the tree and said with little confidence.
Oh, this girl.
With a bitter smile softly, Li Si walked down a step and stretched out a hand to Bai Yao'er and said.
"Well, give me your hand. ”
Looking at Li Si's outstretched hand in front of her, Bai Yao'er stiffly looked away a little, but after half a ring, she still held her hand.
Li Si's hand had a faint warmth, and it was very comfortable to hold in this cool drizzle.
But before Bai Yao'er could feel anything carefully, her body had already floated.
It really floated up, rose from the ground, and walked away in smoke.
Bai Yao'er assured that she had never had such an experience in her life.
At this time, she was like a light cloud, under the coercion of a true qi, she fluttered into the air, shuttling between the drizzle.
The body seemed to have no weight, and it fluttered in the wind, flying over the mountains, rocks and trees.
Everything beneath her quickly faded away, and she flew higher and higher.
In the smoke and rain, the white-clothed man held an umbrella, stepped on the breeze and drizzle, and took her into the clouds and mist that were half-wrapped around the mountainside.
The clouds obscured the eyes, making everything hazy.
Bai Yao'er even had a feeling that she was stepping on the clouds, as if she had broken away from the mortal dust, and her body was fluttering.
At this time, she really understood the evaluation of Li Si on the rivers and lakes.
His light skills are unparalleled in the world.
These four words have been said rotten, but they are also the most appropriate description of Li Si's light skills.
On the lake at the foot of the mountain, the woodcutter who was sitting on the boat pressed the hat on his head, looked at the figure in the distance in the mountains, and whispered.
"It's really handsome. ”
"yes. The boatman at the bow of the boat propped up the boat with a bamboo pole, lowered his scarred cheeks, and watched the water sway.
"After all, he was never caught. ”
"Smack!"
The angler on the shore pulled up the rod in his hand.
A lively mackerel was pulled out of the water by him, hanging in mid-air and flapping its tail.
"Wow! What a big fish. ”
The fisherman said with a smile on his face, and with a pair of calloused old hands, he took the fish off and put it in the fish basket beside him.
······
In Jinshan Temple, the old monk who had just finished reciting the scriptures was drinking tea, he drank very slowly, the old god was there, and the monk's clothes on his body were wide, which made the inconspicuous body look thinner.
Suddenly, the fallen leaves in front of the temple were blown away by a breeze that came from nowhere.
The tea in the old monk's hand also rippled shallowly.
"Huh. The old monk closed his wrinkled eyes, pursed his shriveled lips and smiled, and said to the room without raising his head.
"Master Li Shi, since you are here, why do you want to hide from the old monk?"
Except for Li Si, he has always avoided people, and no one has avoided him yet.
"Isn't that causing you some trouble, a little embarrassed. ”
A gentle voice came from the room.
Then, it was Li Si who fell into the courtyard with Bai Yao'er.
Bai Yao'er was still in a state of dating, but Li Si put away the umbrella, patted his clothes, smiled and turned his back, and looked at the old monk under the eaves.
"It's been a long time, monk. ”
"You ······ Man"
The old monk held the tea and glanced at Li Si helplessly.
"If you're really embarrassed, you won't bring trouble. ”
"Isn't that thinking of the friendship between the two of us, and we don't have to be so outside, do you?"
Li Si smiled and walked to the side of the monk who passed away and sat down.
Rather scoundrelly, he picked up a cup that had been prepared and added himself a cup of tea.
The two people under the eaves knew it in their hearts.
One of them will come, and the other will wait.
(Regarding the update, I also want to add more, but I've been practicing subject three lately, and I really can't spare time, squint.) )
