Chapter 16: Once a Shining Day

In this way, Lu Bo's father and son temporarily lived in a small stone house next to Gu Sanjie's house.

The small stone house was originally used to raise mules, but later the mules fell off the cliff and died, turning them into a large pot of stew.

Although Lu Ye felt that the body odor of mules was no longer very smelly in the stone house, Lu Bo still insisted on casting a "Fragrance Tranquility Spell", and then he didn't know how many times he washed his head and face repeatedly, so he almost took the brush behind the door and brushed his face directly.

Lu Ye looked at his father's ruddy face, and couldn't help laughing.

Lu Bo stiffened his face and lectured his son: "What are you laughing at, didn't I teach you the truth of not gloating, why don't you try it?"

The grandfather and son laughed enough, and Lu Bo said hatefully: "This old monk is absurd and deliberately disgusts me, and it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years." ”

Lu Ye said seriously: "Dad, you taught me not to take revenge!"

Lu Bo slapped Lu Ye on the back of the head and said, "Go and fetch two more buckets of well water." ”

Lu Ye remembered something and asked, "Dad, let's talk in the house, can that big-bellied Arhat hear it?"

Lu Bo shook his head and said, "Don't worry, my father still has this ability." ”

Lu Ye was sure in his heart, took out the little golden leaf that Zou Yan gave him from his arms, and asked, "Dad, do you recognize what is written on it?"

Lu Bo took the look at the beard and said in an affirmative tone: "What is recorded on this is a style of imperial sword scripture, where did you get it?"

Lu Ye told Zou Yan what he had done, and Lu Bo nodded and said, "Then you can accept it." ”

Lu Ye was surprised: "Dad, don't you blame me for taking Sister Zou's baby casually?"

"Can I still let you run thousands of miles and then return it? Since it was given to you by Fairy Zou sincerely, you can accept it generously, this is the way of a gentleman. I don't let you accept other people's things casually, firstly, because I don't want you to get something for nothing, and more importantly, I don't want you to easily accept the love of others. Xiao Yezi, the most real favor in the world, the most expensive is also a favor, once you owe it, you can't afford to pay it back. ”

Lu Ye listened quietly and asked, "That's why the sage said that the friendship of a gentleman is as light as water?"

"Yes and no. Water is the clearest and most transparent thing in the world, and it is as light as water between friends, and it is not harmful to benefit from it, and it can be clarified and waveless, but it can be the most long-lasting. On the contrary, many so-called friends of life and death in the world are either vigorous or welcoming each other with wine and meat, and most of them will inevitably turn against each other and part ways in the end. In short, softness cannot be kept and rigidity does not last, and this principle is the same when used in making friends. ”

Lu Ye didn't seem to understand, Lu Bo smiled: "You are still young, when you grow up, you will naturally be able to understand the truth." ”

"Why don't you help me talk about the truth of this sword sutra first?"

Lu Bo bowed his head, pointed to the vermilion tadpole on the gold leaf, and said: "Simple, as long as you don't treat these as words, but runes that have been deliberately disassembled." ”

Lu Ye suddenly realized: "The broken runes, no wonder I can't recognize them." ”

"There are a total of ninety-nine eighty-one runes, which can be changed and combined at will to form a sword technique. If eighty-one runes come out together, maybe only your mother can resist it. ”

"Is it so powerful?!"

"It's that powerful. If I'm not mistaken, there should be a total of seven pieces of such gold leaves, collectively known as the Seven Swords of the Big Dipper. What you get should be the third piece of the 'Dimensity Sword Sutra'. It is said that these seven pieces of sword scripture were passed down from a Taoist emperor in ancient times, and later scattered in the world without a trace. But no matter which one of them is born, it will attract the masters of the two realms of righteousness and demons to compete with each other, and even the demons and immortals of the heavenly realm will not be able to help but take action. ”

"Wouldn't it be dangerous for me to hold this gold leaf?"

He has a family history, so he naturally knows how precious the sword scriptures refined by the Taoist emperor are, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them with the four words unparalleled in the world. Because the emperor himself is even better than the heavenly monarch, and then there are only a few ancestors who live with heaven and earth!

Lu Bo smiled and said, "So you have to refine it quickly and hide it in your dantian, so that it will be much safer." Well, I can try, but it will take some time. ”

Lu Ye was very happy, with this Tianji Sword, he could protect himself when he met a master, at least he could protect himself without being distracted by his father.

Lu Bo put away the gold leaf and said, "These days, I will teach you all the twenty-one scriptures, and in the future, you will practice repeatedly day and night, and you must be willing to work stupidly." ”

Lu Ye responded and asked, "Dad, how long did you and your mother live in Blackstone Village?"

Lu Bo replied: "I have lived here with her for seventy-three days, and every day I either walk around the mountains at will to watch the sunrise and sunset, or go out to sea to fish in the wind, and when I come back, I will roast and eat on the beach." Your mother's alcohol is very good, better than mine. That's why it often gets me drunk. Then she carried me home, kicked open the door and threw it on the bed, and walked away on her own. ”

Lu Ye's eyes showed fascination, and he said enviously: "You guys have a good time, if only I had been born more than ten years earlier." ”

Lu Bo couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'm sorry, it's strange that my father and mother forgot to bring you to play at that time." Your mother has never been impatient with cultivation, but she can climb the tree all afternoon and watch how the magpie lays eggs. As for me, I put a table under the tree to read and write, but I didn't read much, and I couldn't write a few words, but I drew a lot of portraits of your mother. ”

Lu Ye was dumbfounded and muttered: "No wonder when I was at home before, my mother always liked to carry me to the tree to play, saying that the leaves were dense to take advantage of the wind, and it turned out that she liked to climb trees." ”

The corners of Lu Bo's lips curled and he smiled: "I like to climb trees, catch crabs, fly kites, dig earthworms, swing swings, climb people's roofs and block chimneys...... Your mother has always been full of tricks and never tired of it. Once, when we went out to sea and met a large turtle, she rode on the turtle's back to chase whales and sharks for three whole days, and only after enough fun did she return. ”

Lu Ye couldn't treat the fairy temperament mother and the crazy girl in his father's mouth at the moment as the same person, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Lu Bo also fell into the memory of his beloved wife and stopped talking. The old place revisited the scene and touched the scene, so much so that he made an exception to tell his son so much about the frivolous past when she was young. Now the scene of Blackstone Village is still the same, but it has been so long since she has disappeared from her side.

That period was the most presumptuous and most careless time in his life, what Qi family ruled the country and leveled the world, and what inherited the saint's peerless learning to open up the peace of the world, all of which could not match the smile of the people in front of him.

Suddenly, he took out the wolf's hair from his cuffs and put a pen on the stone wall in front of him.

"Life is like a reverse journey, and I am also a pedestrian. ”

The big black characters are uninhibited, there is no penmanship and no attention to the font, but it is achieved on a whim, as if all the feelings of this half life are melted and poured out in the ten big characters on the stone wall.

Lu Ye quietly looked at his father's back, looked at his slightly sad and lonely side face, and suddenly realized that in fact, his father is not omnipotent, he also has times when he is bored and uncomfortable, and there are moments of loneliness and pain, but he chose to be strong, so strong that he never leaked anything in front of his son.

No matter when and where, he will protect himself in his broad and solid embrace, not to mention the pain, and always a smiling face full of confidence and perseverance to himself.

Lu Ye's chest was warm and sore, as if he was blocked by something, and slowly stepped forward and stretched out his arms to hug his father.

Lu Bo stood still, wrapped his arms around his son's neck, and stroked his head.

After a long time, the ink on the stone wall slowly disappeared, leaving no trace.

Lu Bo let out a long breath and said softly: "Your mother, she is the best person in the world. ”

"Well, I know. Lu Ye said softly.

"Your father is the best idiot in the world. "Lu Bo has a lot to say today.

"Well, you don't have to be humble about that. ”

"I have a feeling that your mother must still be alive. Maybe he was gritting his teeth and scolding me somewhere at this time: 'Lu Yuxue, that stupid person, why can't you find me yet.'" I counted to a hundred, and if he didn't show up in front of Ben Xianzi with his son, I would draw a big pig's head on his face. ’”

Lu Ye couldn't help crying, and choked up: "In the past, my mother always liked to draw a pig's head on my face, which didn't look like a pig or a donkey, and it was ugly and ugly. Once, when I was so angry that I didn't eat for a day, my mother went out and caught a house full of fireflies to make me happy. In the future, if she wants to draw a pig's head, I will obediently ask her to draw ......."

Lu Bo turned sideways to wipe away the tears on his son's face, and said: "Yes, if everyone in the upper and lower reaches of the earth today says that your mother stole the Wheel of Eternity, in a vain attempt to become the lord of the desolation, even if it destroys the heavens and the earth and slaughters the immortals and punishes the Buddha, and causes hundreds of millions of innocent people to be burned." But I don't believe it, even if these words were said by those ancestors of the desolation, I still don't believe it!"

"I don't believe it either, my mother won't leave my father and me to do what the Eternal Supreme!"

"The world thinks that the most proud thing in Lu Yinxue's life is Sanyuan and the first, but I don't know that in my heart, the pride and happiness are far worse than teaching your mother to draw a pig's head on my face. ”

He packed up his mind and taught his son: "But the champion can not be examined, but the book must be read well." In particular, the 10,000 classics that your mother taught you, you must recite them in your heart every day and memorize them to understand them thoroughly. You must know that your mother taught you these 10,000 scriptures with the method of initiation, just like if you get 10,000 family wealth out of thin air. If you don't pay attention to it, you can only sit and eat nothing. ”

Lu Ye nodded and said, "Dad, I understand." ”

He turned and walked to the corner, sat cross-legged on a pile of hay, and closed his eyes.

An antique scroll slowly appeared in Lu Ye's mind, and it felt like it was unfolding in front of his eyes.

When I opened the scroll, I didn't expect to see such a poem: "When is the bright moon? I don't know what year it is in the heavenly palace. I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, and the high place is unbearable. Dancing to figure out the shadow, how does it seem to be in the world?"

"Turn to Zhu Pavilion, low Qihu, shine sleeplessly. There should be no hatred, what is the long time to say goodbye? People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to complete. I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for a long timeβ€”β€”"

Below this poem, there is a note left by the mother, and there is only one word - "sour".

Lu Ye was stunned and couldn't help but empathize. It's just not tooth ache, it's heart ache.
