Chapter 27 Teacher's Instructions
After Li Tiancheng left, Liu Zifeng recalled the rules and precepts he had taught him several times in his mind. After a while, I can remember about seven, seven, eight, eight, and more. Looking at the darkening sky outside the window, I couldn't help but sigh and get up and get out of bed.
In the corner of the house, the two dead rabbits that were hit last night are still there. It was also because of the cold weather that the rabbit was frozen hard. Liu Zifeng went out to pick up some dead branches, and then built a small fire at the door. The two rabbits were skinned and washed, and two sticks were threaded and roasted over the fire.
At this time, he went to the kitchen to find some salt spices, and sprinkled them evenly on the rabbit, turning them constantly. After a while, a hint of aroma came to my nose. Hei Yan lay quietly on the side, his two little eyes staring at the roasted rabbit, and his mouth seemed to have drool.
Liu Zifeng saw its gluttonous appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect that you, this little guy, are still a master of meat!"
A man and a rat sat around the fire. I don't know what kind of trees this Falling Moon Peak are, and even the dead branches have a lot of tree oil, and they are smokeless. Liu Zifeng's face was slightly reddened by the firelight, and he saw him turning the wooden stick intently, grabbing the spices and sprinkling them from time to time.
After a while, I saw that the two rabbits had turned golden brown all around, and drops of melted grease fell into the fire from time to time. Liu Zifeng turned over the rabbit a few more times and took it down. Pick one of them up and put it on the side of the board, and say, "It's ready to eat." ”
Hei Yan was already hungry for the roast rabbit, and when he heard the words, he rushed over, regardless of the hot grease on it, and bit off one of the rabbit's hind legs in one bite and chewed it in his mouth.
Liu Zifeng tore off a rabbit leg and put it in his mouth to gnaw on. This trick was learned from Zhou Lao, when he was in Wuding Village in the past, Zhou Lao would barbecue meat for him to eat every three or five days.
Eating and eating, Liu Zifeng couldn't help but think about it, as if recalling the past days, his face was slightly dark, and he was silent. For a moment, except for the crackling sound of the burning dead branches, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.
When it got dark, Hei Yan ate a whole roast rabbit, and Liu Zifeng threw half of it in his hand when he saw this. Hei Yan was overjoyed when he was still unfinished, and after eating the half of the rabbit like a whirlwind, he hiccuped humanely, squinted his eyes and rested by the fire.
After resting for a while, Liu Zifeng got up to put out the fire and turned back to the house. The strip of cloth in his hand had fallen off, revealing a scabbed wound that seemed to heal overnight. He was surprised by this healing medicine powder in his heart, and at the same time he felt grateful to Yue Zixuan.
After a brief pick-up, Liu Zifeng left Hei Yan in the room and told him not to run around. Just now, Li Tiancheng said that the master called him over, and the time was almost up.
Following the familiar path, Liu Zifeng soon came to the Falling Moon Palace. The door of the temple was wide open, and the lights in the hall were on, but the hall was empty and quiet.
Liu Zifeng saw that the hall was brightly lit, and hurriedly walked a few steps in. When he came in, he found that Elder Ji had not returned, so he stood aside and waited. While waiting for Elder Ji to come back, he curiously watched the scene in the Falling Moon Palace.
The interior of the main hall is extremely spacious, with an aisle in the center, and six pillars stand on both sides, forming six pairs of twelve. The pillars are carved with hideous beasts, and the beasts on each pillar are different. Liu Zifeng looked around and only recognized a few of them. However, these strange beasts are full of ferocity, and there is not much auspiciousness. A pair of pillars led by dragons and phoenixes are carved respectively, these two strange beasts are common, and even ordinary people know a lot. On the left hand side is a hideous dragon, the dragon's mouth is wide open, spitting out a pitch-black ball, and the dragon's eyes are full of anger and unwillingness. On the right hand is a white phoenix, but black flames emerge from the phoenix's tail, its wings are spread angrily, and its neck is raised high, as if it is emitting a sharp phoenix chirping.
A dragon and a phoenix, the carving is realistic, as if there is an infinite momentum coming out of the body, and the face of Liu Zifeng in front of him was pale by this invisible momentum, and he quickly retracted his gaze.
On the remaining ten pillars, Liu Zifeng only recognized that there was a fierce beast "gluttony", a strange bird with a one-legged white beak and red stripes all over his body, which was the legendary "Bi Fang". There was nothing unusual about these two pillars, except that the appearance of the alien beast on them was still abhorrent.
Liu Zifeng looked away, only to see that the sides of the six pairs of pillars and the walls were empty. Only near the wall were six or seven narrow stone platforms on the ground, on which oil lamps were lit. Liu Zifeng took a closer look, and there were murals painted on the walls.
These murals are two in a row, and although I don't know how long it has been, they are still bright and detailed. Liu Zifeng turned around and looked, but there was still no half of a figure in the hall. Ignoring everything else, he looked at the mural in front of him with interest.
In the first painting, there is a continuous mountain range, which appears to be the Luoxia Mountains. There are three exceptionally tall peaks in the mountain range, which stand out from the crowd. A large river encircles the three peaks and flows southward. There are a few houses in the mountains, which represent the primitive villages in the mountains.
In the second painting, the houses are much larger. This is a village, and the villagers are clearly visible and dressed simply. One day, an old man came to the village, and he looked a little similar to Qingxia, the ancestor of Luoxia Sect. In the painting, the old man talks with the villagers and takes out a lot of applications. The villagers were very happy and talked a lot to the old man.
Liu Zifeng then looked at the third painting, and the old man chose the leftmost peak, climbed to the top and went straight to the back mountain. I don't know how long it took to reappear. With a look of regret on his face, he turned his gaze to the highest mountain in the center.
The peak in the center is undoubtedly Shenyang Peak. In the fourth painting, after the old man climbed the Shenyang Peak, he found a cave under the boulder and went inside to explore. Seeing this, Liu Zifeng felt tasteless. After a cursory look at the back paintings, sure enough, it was Qingxia Zhenren who found a wonderful method and crossed the party.
These things are recorded in ancient books, and Liu Zifeng also knows a lot. However, he turned his gaze to the third painting, and there was confusion in his eyes.
Qingxia Zhenren was obviously the first to climb the Falling Moon Peak, why did she look regretful?
Could it be that there is something strange about Falling Moon Peak?
Liu Zifeng thought about it in his head, and couldn't help but think about it. After a long time, he shook his head and secretly laughed at his crankiness. Thousands of years have passed, but I am afraid that even if there are any rare treasures in Luoyue Peak, they will have already been discovered and taken away by the sect.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard footsteps outside the door. Liu Zifeng hurriedly stood solemnly on the side of the main hall, and when the figure walked into the main hall, Liu Zifeng saluted and called out: "Master!"
The figure walked into the main hall and turned around, and sure enough, it was Elder Ji. Seeing Liu Zifeng saluting, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, Zifeng, how long have you been waiting?"
Liu Zifeng looked at Elder Ji, saw his calm face, and said, "The disciple has just arrived. ”
Elder Ji walked a few steps, sat on the sandalwood chair, and turned around to greet Liu Zifeng: "Sixth, don't be nervous, come and sit down." ”
Liu Zifeng sat opposite Elder Ji in response, but he was a little nervous in his heart, not knowing what the master was calling him to do. He was in doubt, and two people suddenly entered the door of the main hall. One of them had a thin face, it was none other than the fourth senior brother Su Li. The person next to him looked familiar, Liu Zifeng thought for a while, but couldn't remember where he had seen it.
"Sixth," Elder Ji spoke, "Have you seen that old liar?"
Liu Zifeng was stunned for a moment and said, "Old liar?"
When Elder Ji saw his appearance, he immediately smiled and said, "Yes, that old liar often cheats people out of money in Luoxia Town according to fortune telling, and is called 'what you can't count, what you don't have left'." ”
Liu Zifeng suddenly realized, listening to Elder Ji's funny description, he laughed with relief in his heart, and said, "Master, I have seen that senior. ”
After speaking, he looked at the young man beside Su Li who was a little pale, which coincided with the appearance of divining the destiny in his mind.
"That's it, the old liar told me to let his grandson follow you, and he didn't know where to go and be happy. In the meantime, let the 'Mandate of Heaven' live with you. This kid is frail and sickly, and you usually work harder. ”
Sure enough, Fortune Divination Cheng had already greeted Elder Ji and sent the Fortune Divination Heavenly Destiny to Falling Moon Peak. Liu Zifeng hurriedly said: "The disciple didn't dare, I saw the old ...... earlier. When the seniors were in their time, they had promised their seniors to take care of the 'Mandate of Heaven', which was within the disciple's duty. ”
Elder Ji laughed, obviously in a good mood. asked Liu Zifeng again: "Has your second senior brother taught you the rules and regulations of the Dao in the past two days?"
Liu Zifeng's face was straight, and he said: "The disciple is stupid, the second senior brother has just finished teaching the door rules and precepts today, and he will officially learn the Tao tomorrow." ”
Elder Ji's expression on his face was slightly restrained, and he said with a straight face: "Zifeng, cultivating the Dao method varies from person to person, and the speed is different. Like several of your other senior brothers, you don't pay attention to qualifications. Although you are less qualified than ordinary people. But you have to remember that first you have to renew your mind. Only with a clear heart and a firm mind can we go further and further. The second is to have courage and perseverance. No word, no difficulty, can stop you from taking the path you have to choose. In this way, you can achieve something in your cultivation, understand?"
Liu Zifeng was shocked when he heard this, and said heavily: "Disciple understands!"
Elder Ji looked at him with a firm face, his face was relieved, and he said, "As long as you have righteousness in your heart, no matter what happens, the teacher will stand by your side." ”
Liu Zifeng's eyes were hot, and his heart was infinitely moved.
After saying this, Elder Ji got up and walked towards the outside of the hall, not knowing where he went. Listening vaguely, a few quaint and desolate voices came in.
"There is heaven and earth. There is a yin and a yang. Heaven and earth are gone, yin and yang, two places are in the vast ......"
In the hall, the three of them stood in place, listening to the poetic and singing voices, and they were a little stupid for a while.
