CHAPTER XIV

To the south of the mainland, there are mountains hidden in the world, and people who are not cultivators cannot be observed. If you are lucky enough to enter the inside, you will be surprised by the richness of the aura here, just one breath, it is enough to make people all four, things and I forget.

This place is the place where the foundation of the Immortal Gate is guarded.

The road is one to keep the peace, one east and one to the south, the road is rebuilt, and the peace is re-true. Therefore, the emphasis on different directions, so that the Taoist monks are not common, often hidden in the sect of asceticism, but the monks often go out of the mountain gate to travel the world, watch the ups and downs of the world, and see the red dust.

There are few people in Shouhe Xianmen, and usually the residence of a disciple is one or more mountains. It is common to see disciples cultivating on their respective hills, chopping wood, making fires and cooking, and the entire Shouhe Xianmen, just like a larger village, is staging such a simple farm scene every day.

Guarding and accepting disciples, he pays great attention to talent. Inferior qualifications, not accepted. Medium qualifications, not accepted. Superior qualifications are the first threshold, isolating countless people from the door. However, the qualification is only the first threshold, and the head of the door or the elder needs to recognize his character, the qualification is superior, and the mind is also superior, so that he can finally enter this immortal gate.

This is the reason why there are few people in Shouhe, and the atmosphere inside the door is extremely relaxed. Cultivating the truth, cultivating the truth, keeping and cultivating this truth, cultivating a Tao is natural, with superior talent and excellent mind, and when the time comes, cultivation will naturally come up. This is why it is common to keep and cut firewood with his disciples, but he does not see his cultivation, but his cultivation can climb steadily. Doing this every day is to cultivate the mind, to travel out of the mountain, to practice the mind, when the state of mind is complete, when the Tao is natural.

Near noon, a middle-aged man walked out of the mountain with a large bundle of freshly chopped firewood, returned to his self-built wooden house, put it down, and began to light a fire to cook. The middle-aged man was very familiar with washing rice, lighting a fire, during which he went to the outside of the house to dry the pole and took two pieces of bacon, and then picked two small vegetables in the vegetable garden next to him, cut the bacon, washed the side vegetables, put the pot on the shelf, and skillfully made a bacon stir-fry.

If people who don't know see it, they may really think that the middle-aged man is an ordinary peasant man, especially his rough palms and tanned face caused by perennial farm work, which add a bit of farm color.

When the meal was almost ready, a figure flashed across the sky, and a radiant young man stepped on his sword on time.

"Senior brother, let me guess, what I made today is bacon stir-fry. The young man shrugged his nose and said.

The middle-aged man uncovered the pot, put the fragrant bacon stir-fry on the plate, and said with a smile: "Mingli, senior brother, there is only this dish here, you don't feel tired of eating it." ”

After a pause, the middle-aged man added: "It's also strange that the senior brother is clumsy, he can't learn the second dish, and this bacon stir-fry can be eaten a little." ”

The young man named Mingli grinned and said: "Why do you need other dishes, senior brother with this bacon stir-fry alone is enough to crown Shouhe Mountain, in this Shouhe Mountain, when it comes to cooking, senior brother, you recognize the second, which one dares to admit the first, rest assured senior brother, this is what I Wang Mingli said, on this Shouhe Mountain, make a number." ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Mingli, I heard that you only said this to your Senior Sister Tianning yesterday." ”

Wang Mingli's face was not red and his heart was not beating: "Eh, senior brother, don't mention the past again, living the life in front of you is the most important thing." ”

As he spoke, Wang Mingli's gaze drifted to the plate of bacon stir-fry.

The middle-aged man understood: "That's right, that's right, come, the dishes are almost cold, eat first, eat first." ”

As he spoke, he brought out the table and chairs from the house, filled two large bowls of rice, and the two brothers ate it in the open air. Wang Mingli was not polite at all, picked up the chopsticks and put the dish in his mouth, and ate it in a big gulp, while talking and vaguely saying that his senior brother's craftsmanship is good. The middle-aged man has long been accustomed to this, eating his meal unhurriedly, looking at Wang Mingli who is gobbling up, he is actually happy in his heart.

He is Wang Mingli's eldest brother, surnamed Fang Zhengxin, has been in Xianmen for many years, and he has been doing such work as farming and chopping wood every day, and he has never seen him make a move, I am afraid that it is the entire Shouhe Xianmen, except for his master and uncle, no one knows his specific cultivation. His master, who is also Wang Mingli's master, is the head of Naishouhe and Xianmen, and the two are worthy of the name. Uncle Tai is actually a surname, but the name of the old head is just like Fang Zhengxin's cultivation, and he has always been a mystery.

Wang Mingli is a baby brought back from the mountain by the old head of the old uncle 20 years ago, and after coming back, he only said one sentence: "This son was born according to the fortune of heaven, and he will be a person who should be born with the fortune of heaven in the future." He gave him the name Wang Mingli, and then handed him over to Fang Zhengxin, who took him with him to raise. So much so that in the beginning of the period, when Fang Zhengxin went to farm and chop wood, he had to carry a baby on his back, and he had to carry some food with him, crying to coax, and hungry to feed, both as a father and a mother, it was really difficult for him to be a big man.

From childhood to adulthood, Wang Mingli was brought up by Fang Zhengxin, from the beginning of learning to walk like a little heel and follow Fang Zhengxin, to the back of the eighteen years old, the master uncle personally chose a mountain for Wang Mingli as a place to live, Wang Mingli moved away from the senior brother to live alone, but usually at the time of the meal, Wang Mingli can appear on the senior brother's table on time.

"Senior brother, the fortune is in the east. Wang Mingli suddenly said something incomprehensible.

Fang Zhengxin had just picked up a piece of bacon and was about to put it in his mouth, paused, and responded: "This is very good." ”

Wang Mingli put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "Senior brother should go with me." ”

Fang Zhengxin put the bacon into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and then smiled: "This is your blessing, not senior brother's." ”

Wang Mingli continued: "This blessing is not a blessing for others, and there are many people who want to spoil this blessing. ”

Fang Zhengxin responded: "If the fortune is broken, it proves that you have no relationship with it." ”

"What if I'm implicated?"

Fang Zhengxin spit out a few words flatly, "No one has the courage to do this." ”

Wang Mingli was stunned and picked up the chopsticks again to eat. In this Shouhe Mountain, he Wang Mingli said that he counted. This Shouhe outside the mountain, his senior brother Fang Zhengxin said, make a number.

After eating, Wang Mingli said goodbye to his senior brother, saying that he would go to his senior sister to talk to his senior sister before leaving the mountain gate, otherwise he would not miss him after he went out. Fang Zhengxin reminded with a smile not to ask, go to see the master to say goodbye, Wang Mingli said that he knew, and then threw out the flying sword and stepped away.

If you look down from the sky, among the monotonous mountains, you can see that the colors of a certain mountain are particularly gorgeous, and it is very eye-catching at a glance. The colorful flowers on it are innumerable and beautiful, and because the aura in the fairy gate is very rich, the flowers that are moistened are much more delicate than the ordinary, if you look closely, it is equivalent to immersing yourself in the ocean composed of all kinds of flowers, for the people who love flowers, this place is no less than the fairyland on earth.

This place is the residence of Wang Mingli's sister Zhao Tianning. Zhao Tianning loves flowers, and what he does every day is to plant flowers and flowers until they are planted all over the mountains. Wang Mingli has to admit that the senior sister planting flowers is the same as the senior brother chopping wood, and she does have a hand, but if it is the turn of cooking, the senior brother is still better, and I don't know if it is smooth to eat since childhood, Wang Mingli feels that whatever he eats now is not as delicious as the bacon stir-fry of the senior brother.

"Senior sister, I'm here!"

Wang Mingli put away the flying sword under his feet and skillfully landed on a verdant lawn. At this time, there is a person on the lawn, it is a woman, who is kneeling cross-legged on the lawn to enjoy the boundless sea of flowers in front of her, hearing Zhang Bufu's voice, turning around, and smiling at it, it is really called looking back and smiling.

"Senior sister, the fortune is in the east. Wang Mingli said the same thing.

Zhao Tianning smiled and said exactly the same thing as Fang Zhengxin: "This is your blessing." ”

Wang Mingli nodded, and then said, "Senior sister, I'm going down the mountain." ”

Zhao Tianning said with a smile: "It's good to go down the mountain, there are many good-looking little girls under the mountain, when you come back, remember to bring a little daughter-in-law back to show your senior sister." ”

Wang Mingli said with a straight face: "I'm afraid that my senior sister will be dazzled." ”

Zhao Tianning covered his mouth and chuckled: "Mingli is going to bring more." ”

Wang Mingli was also smiling, without saying more, he crossed his knees to Zhao Tianning's side, and quietly looked at the flowers. Shou and disciples out of the mountain gate, need to be approved by the master, this is the rule, although the master will nod nine times out of ten, but this procedure must be followed, the rules must be followed.

Someone once asked Uncle Tai, a person who cultivates the truth, does not cultivate the truth, but cultivates every day, whether it is true or how to cultivate? After hearing this, the old master of the uncle smiled and replied: "I haven't cultivated yet, so I don't dare to say anything." ”

Wang Mingli went down the mountain and walked up. Uncle Tai sat on a stone and looked at Wang Mingli who was walking all the way with a smile, as if he was waiting.

Wang Mingli walked to the front and said respectfully: "Master, the fortune is in the east." ”

Uncle Tai said, "That's in the east." ”

Wang Mingli continued: "Others regard this as a bad fate. ”

Uncle Tai said: "Then let others look at it." ”

Wang Mingli was respectful, and then said, "Others regard this as a bad fate." ”

Uncle Tai said: "Your fortune, you say it's fortune, that's fortune." ”

Wang Mingli continued: "If someone else spoils this good fortune?"

Uncle Tai smiled: "That means you have nothing to do with it." ”

Wang Mingli saluted: "If others want to be bad, and the disciples feel that they have a relationship with them?"

Uncle Tai suddenly stroked his palms and laughed: "It's a matter of course." ”

Wang Mingli closed his eyes and groaned, for a long time, bowed solemnly, and saluted again: "I understand." ”

On the same day, Wang Mingli went out of the mountain gate.
