Volume II: Marching to Health 103. Lonely
After some investigation, nothing unusual was found.
However, it was not for nothing, when the aura was swimming in the wolf's skin, Sima Wenzhi noticed that it had been injured before his death.
Old things came to mind, and he hurriedly withdrew his aura and looked down to carefully examine the wounds on his fur.
"Where did your sister get married back then?" After checking it many times, he opened his mouth to ask the man, and the tone of the question was very urgent.
"It's far away from here, but it's not out of Shu, it's still in this county. The man didn't know why, and responded ignorantly.
"Be more specific. ”
The man's reply was too broad, and Sima asked for details, so he asked again. After asking, I felt that this was too slow, and asked directly about the place that came to mind, "Do you know the Qingxuan Mountain Range?"
"I heard Sister Ah say that the village is indeed at the foot of a mountain called Qingxuan Mountain. A few years ago, it was often said that there were immortals in the mountains. The man scratched his head and replied in the affirmative.
Sima Wenzhi's heart shook after hearing this, and there was no luck.
The wolf's fur comes from his old friend.
Six years ago, a month after he entered the mountain, General Gao was ordered to go to the Qingxuan Mountain Gate to find him. Later, because of the break with Tianchengzi, the two went through hardships and hiked down the mountain.
In the middle of the night, when they were about to reach the bottom of the mountain, the two were chased by a giant wolf. Subsequently, the two sides exchanged and rescued each other.
Seeing each other again, the old friend has passed away. Things are not people, and Sima asked about the impermanence of the world.
"Dao Chief, what's unusual?" the man asked when he saw that he was no longer silent.
"It's what causes it. Sima asked in the affirmative.
Even if it wasn't the wolf's fur, he would have told him.
After such a reply, the man will surely regard it as a disaster and ask to take it away. Doing so is suspected of deliberately taking possession of other people's property, and is not the act of a gentleman.
But he still made this reply, except that it was indeed the remnant of the giant wolf on the fur, and he had already thought of taking it away.
"If you had known this, you shouldn't have coveted this ominous object back then. When the man heard this, he was annoyed and began to blame himself in his heart. Then, as expected, he begged Sima Wenzhi to take the wolf skin away.
By the time the two of them talked, it was already halfway through. The woman went into the house and saw the two men and called them to eat something.
Sima Wenzhi was already hungry and thirsty, and after some fatigue, he couldn't bear it even more, so he didn't excuse himself and sat down with the man.
At this time, whether in the sect or in the world, people mostly ate in separate meals. Each person has a set of cutlery, and the food they eat may be the same or different.
The food in Sima Wenzhi's bowl is more abundant, with less vegetables and more meat, and all of them are fine meat. In addition to this, the wheat cake is also mixed with coarse rice.
The men's bowl was much worse, and there was no meat, only whole wheat bread.
The people of Shu are hospitable, and often use good food for hospitality, and he has long heard of this. After seeing it today, the secret path is indeed like this.
"Ling Lang Ke has ever eaten?" Thinking that the young man in bed had cried out for hunger and thirst after waking up, Sima Wenzhi asked casually.
"I've already eaten it. "The food was made by the woman, and she knew who had used it. But her eyes dodged when she spoke, and she was seen by Sima Wenzhi.
The woman's expression showed that the young man had not yet eaten. Sima Wenzhi was not angry that she deliberately deceived her, but appreciated the sincerity of the Shu people's hospitality.
Then he reached out and lifted the chopsticks, but instead of putting the food in the bowl in his mouth, he put it in the empty bowl next to him.
Empty bowls are specially prepared by the woman, and if the other party has a meal that she does not like, she can throw it into the bowl when she is entertaining guests.
"Give the meat to Ling Lang to use, recuperate carefully, and it will be restored in a few days. When the woman felt guilty, Sima asked her to tell her.
Although they hunt for a living, most of the men's prey is sold for money for daily use. No one else can bring out wheat bread, but the woman must have done her best to bring out the fine meat.
Sima Wenzhi didn't want to take away the beauty of people, and he passed away for some reason, and asked for a vegetarian diet for a day to fast for him.
Before the time passed, he repeatedly refused to keep the man, and wanted to leave after saying goodbye to him.
The boy was able to get out of bed, and with the support of his parents, he trembled and bowed to him and thanked him for saving his life. Sima Wenzhi didn't dodge and accepted it directly.
You don't have to beg elsewhere for food, you can continue your journey east. At parting, the man handed him a package containing a wolf's skin, which contained dozens of wheat cakes.
In just a few days, all the things in Chengdu County and the village here have touched Sima Wen a lot. As he moved on, something began to think about in his mind. These things gradually became tangled, and he could not choose.
The tangled things are about being for yourself and being a person.
On this side, the Taoist practice is mostly to fight with the heavens, intending to be able to soar into immortals and change his mortal destiny.
Cultivation is not easy, so on the path of cultivation, we should try our best to avoid obstacles and devote ourselves to the path of transcendence.
On the other hand, the Taoist upholds the will of heaven to do the right thing for heaven, and there are many sufferings in the world, and the Taoist needs to cleanse the world and uphold justice.
But when you are chivalrous, you will inevitably share your own energy.
The former is for oneself and the latter for others. There are many times when there will be conflicts between others and oneself, and one cannot be completely separated.
I can't give up, I can't choose, and I will be entangled in how to balance and how to do it in the future.
While thinking about walking, after a while, Sima Wenzhi suddenly stopped and turned to check.
There were only weeds in sight, and bushes in the roadside forest. Puzzled, he moved on.
I didn't take a hundred steps, and stopped again to check. This time he was sure to be followed, but I don't know how long.
After two checks, nothing was found, and Sima Wenzhi cast a spirit-seeking technique, and there was no abnormality within dozens of steps.
It should be intentional for people to avoid coming.
He quickened his pace, and his slow walk turned into a swift walk. This method is very effective, and there is a sound in the forest behind him, and people are chasing after him.
After Shen Shi, the sky was getting dark, and after an hour of rapid travel, Sima Wen's plan fell through. Although the comer revealed his whereabouts, he was not thrown away, and always followed him.
Walking at night, it is not easy to see. When it was completely dark, he stopped moving forward and began to turn back.
If the cultivation of the coming person is higher than one's own, it is useless to go any further. If it is lower than himself, he does not need to go again.
After walking into the forest, Sima Wenzhi finally had a harvest. The man who came no longer hiding, but came to meet him. In the deep night, the eyes of the two dark green eyes were faintly bright.
The man was not a man, but a wolf, barking on a mouth full of steel teeth and roaring in a low voice.
There is a strand of hair in the middle of the wolf's head that is white, which is the evidence of demonization.
The moment he saw the wild wolf, Sima Wenzhi recognized it as the she-wolf who reminded him that there was a cliff in front of him.
Compared to six years ago, Sima Wenzhi's appearance has changed somewhat, so the she-wolf did not immediately recognize him.
However, the aura on his body did not change much, and the she-wolf felt familiar. After a dozen breaths, there was no more roaring demonstrations.
While recognizing the she-wolf, Sima Wenzhi also knew why it followed all the way. Hurriedly untied the burden behind his back, put it on the ground, opened it, and walked not far away.
