Volume 1 In This Mountain Chapter 22 The Trees Are Full of Peach Blossoms
Since he decided to leave, the boy no longer hesitated, so in addition to the daily practice of boxing and calligraphy, the boy was also preparing for the long trip.
There must be a lot of luggage, after all, this time the teenager is going to go away from his hometown. The distance between them is by no means a matter of a few days or a few months, after all, it has been nine years since the boy left his hometown when he was five years old, and he is now in the Lingbao blessed land.
Since Xiao Baoling knew that the boy was leaving, he was almost inseparable from the boy in recent days, and when he was packing his luggage, Xiao Baoling was watching from the side, probably thinking that Uncle Xiao's luggage was a little less, so Xiao Baoling always secretly stuffed some things into the boy's back basket, and with the increase in the number of times, the boy also noticed that something was wrong. Then the boy found many colorful stones in the basket, and suddenly smiled bitterly.
In addition to the necessary clothes and objects, of course, the lighter the better, otherwise it will be like a blunt knife to cut meat, grinding the body and spirit, these truths are the most understandable for the young man who entered the mountain early to collect medicine. Besides, in the past, the boy did not know the preciousness of these stones, but now that he knows them, he must not just place them on his body at will.
The truth that wealth is not exposed is applicable to both the mountains and the mountains.
After explaining the truth to Xiao Baoling, Xiao Baoling also felt reasonable, so these stones naturally returned to Xiao Baoling's hands, but Xiao Baoling repeatedly explained that these were all things from Uncle Xiao, and they were exchanged for sugar gourds by themselves, and now they are just helping Uncle Xiao to store them. The young man who couldn't resist Xiao Baoling had to reluctantly agree.
Zhang Pingyi originally wanted to see his uncle again before leaving, but he learned that his uncle had been gone for many days. However, Uncle Shi should have known that the boy was leaving, so he left some things for the boy, so Zhang Pingyi saw the "little Taoist boy" under Uncle Shi's seat, Xiao Daotong was holding a jade pendant in one hand, a book in the other hand, and a wooden sword behind him.
He took the three items in the hands of the Dao Tong, and then saw the "little Dao Tong" staring at the young man with a curious face, while explaining to the young man the usefulness of the three items.
The book called "Lingbao Five Runes and Spiritual Methods" is not a precious object, and it is no different from the talisman seals that the boy practiced on weekdays, but there are some discrepancies in the content.
That jade pendant is a rare thing, it is a square inch thing that everyone on the mountain monk dreams of, and he can accommodate other things between square inches, which is similar to the Sumeru mustard seed of Buddhism. As soon as the owner's mind arrives, he can store anything other than a living thing.
The space in this jade pendant is not large, and it is the size of an ordinary person's grinding plate, but it is definitely an eye-catching treasure, especially the whole jade pendant has a true picture of the five mountains carved by the people of the distant mountain Dao themselves. When Xiao Daotong said this true picture of Wuyue, he looked like he wanted to say something, but he didn't say much, only said that let the young man take good care of this jade pendant, it is best to store it closely, and don't show it easily.
There is also the wooden sword, it should be said that it is a willow sword, its predecessor is actually the thick old willow branch brought back by the young man from the central island of Longtan, except for taking a small piece of willow wood core to make a milli cone and giving it to Xiao Baoling, most of the rest were asked by the people of the distant mountain road, and now it is back in his hands in the form of a wooden sword.
Although the young man is not from the mountain, he is now a small practitioner of boxing, and he naturally has a breath of true qi in his body, which can be regarded as another way, and he can barely use the jade pendant, so his mind moved, and the book in his hand has disappeared, and in the jade pendant space that emerged in the young man's heart, a book has been lying in it. Then the young man put the jade pendant close to his body, picked up the unsheathed willow sword, gently sanded the lines on the sword's body, and asked, "I wonder if this sword has a name?"
"Xiao Daotong" was a little surprised, but still replied truthfully, "This sword was just made by Shizun recently, and it has not been named. ”
The young man looked at the wooden sword in his hand, lowered his head and pondered for a while, then his brows were stretched, and with a smile on his face, he said softly, "Since this is the case, you will be called wicker in the future." ”
The "little Taoist boy" who was waiting for the teenager to answer on the side, the boss with a pair of eyes stared, looked at the little boy in front of him with a shocked face, and didn't say anything for a long time.
Zhang Pingyi was a little embarrassed by Xiao Daotong, scratched his head and said, "What, isn't this name bad?"
Xiaodao Tong said, "Okay, okay." ”
The young man smiled happily, "Sure enough, the hero sees the same thing." ”
As soon as Zhang Ping finished speaking, he attracted a big roll of his eyes.
Then Xiao Daotong explained Zhang Pingyi for the master, which roughly means that these three things, the book is lent to you Zhang Pingyi, and it needs to be returned in the future, and the willow sword is because he took the willow branch that belongs to you Zhang Pingyi for other use, which is considered a reward, and the remaining jade pendant is a gift to you, not a rare thing, don't take it to heart.
After that, the young man bowed and left, leaving only the "little Taoist boy", looking at the willow sword behind the young man, and rolling his eyes.
The nights are getting shorter and the days are getting longer, and the two are about to have one of the few equalities of the year.
Spring is getting stronger, even Zhang Pingyi lives near the courtyard near the top of the mountain, there is also a piece of green, the young man often looks at the cliffside in the distance, the strange rocks are craggy, I don't know when the unknown grass seeds stranded here, under the blowing of the spring breeze, also break the ground, stretch the immature but tough arms, embrace the world.
In this courtyard where the boy is located, there is a peach tree outside the courtyard wall to the west, which is different from the peach trees in other places, because this peach tree is a little big, although it cannot be compared with the old willow tree in Toulongtan, but every summer, when the sun is shining, the shade formed by the canopy of the whole peach tree can shade the entire courtyard, which can be seen in its scale, and it is rare to see such a long old peach tree.
At this time, the branches of this old peach tree are decorated with budding flower bones, and when the spring breeze is a little stronger, it can bloom and reveal its fragrance.
A rare peach blossom spring.
Xiao Baoling since he knew that the boy had a square inch of things that could be stored, he filled the square inch of things as his own task, and disappeared after eating every day, and he would come back to the next meal, and every time he came back, he would inevitably bring back something, sometimes it was a stack of strange paper seals, sometimes it was some Taoist classics that he knew at a glance that it was a unique book, and there were some strange-shaped puppets, and even a small green bamboo stool, in short, it was varied.
Zhang Pingyi has no way to do this, at this time, Xiao Baoling is not something he can persuade, if Zhang Pingyi can still accept those colorful stones, then it is absolutely impossible for these young people to leave them privately.
However, for these things brought by Xiao Baoling, the boy did not refuse, every time he was in front of Xiao Baoling, he was included in the square inch of things, and with more and more things, the square inch of the original space was finally full.
Then one day after dinner, after Zhang Pingyi finished practicing boxing in the courtyard, he called Xiao Baoling to his side, took out the mountain jade pendant that was placed close to him, and then took out all the objects in it and placed them on the ground, full of dazzling colors.
Xiao Baoling's face was full of red light, and he raised his little head high, waiting for the praise of the little uncle.
I saw Zhang Ping gently put the jade pendant in Xiao Baoling's hand, "This jade pendant will be yours in the future." ”
Xiao Baoling looked at the jade pendant painted with the true shape of Wuyue in his hand, and then looked up at Uncle Xiao, puzzled, and then shook his head and said, "This is Uncle Xiao's, not Lingling's." ”
The young man stretched out his hand and pointed to the objects all over the ground, and asked, "Then the things in this place are not Uncle Xiao's, why did you give them to Uncle Xiao?"
Xiao Baoling's originally happy mood suddenly became depressed, "But, but ......"
Then Xiao Baoling returned the jade pendant to the young man's hand, bowed his head and did not speak.
Zhang Pingyi squatted down, parallel to the little girl, raised his hand and touched Xiao Baoling's little head, and said, "Although these things are not Uncle Xiao's, do you want to return the stones that Uncle Xiao exchanged for the sugar gourd with Baoling? ”
Xiao Baoling, who originally lowered his head and didn't speak, raised his head and turned back into the quirky little girl, revealing two little tiger teeth, raising his hand and stretching out two fingers, "That Lingling wants to exchange for two sugar gourds." ”
"Good. Then replace them with two. ”
Then the space that had been vacated by the mountain jade pendant was half filled with a pile of colorful stones in the blink of an eye.
Then a few days later, probably the spring completely took hold, on the day of the spring equinox, the big peach tree outside the courtyard was full of peach bags, all the branches were blooming overnight, the flowers were bright red, there was a wind blowing, looking from a distance, like a ball of blooming and flowing fireworks, eye-catching.
