Chapter 74: The Old Man
The wilderness ancient road, green water and green mountains, two less little green donkeys, two more young figures, slowly walking in the northeast direction in the breeze.
The blue sky and white clouds, the blue sky is like washing, and the sound of birds and beasts roaring from time to time comes from both sides of the ancient road, adding a bit of wilderness.
Song Yourong was very surprised, Yun Xiaoxie, who was originally chirping like a bird along the way, was surprisingly silent today, and there seemed to be a bit of confusion between his eyebrows.
This greatly surprised Song Yourong, it is said that with Yun Xiaoxie's personality, not yelling is already considered to be giving her face, but she is unexpectedly silent at the moment, which makes her a little unaccustomed to it.
It was almost noon, when Yun Xiaoxiao looked up at the sky for the seventy-sixth time, Song Yourong couldn't help it anymore, and also looked up at the sky, and said, "What's wrong with you today? Why do you keep looking up at the sky? Will there be gold in the sky?"
Yun Xiaoxiao scratched his head habitually again, and his brows furrowed slightly.
His thoughts were naturally because of the difficult words he had accidentally seen from the nine tortoise shells last night, and the ancient clumsy words of as many as four or five thousand were like a sharp blade, piercing deep into his heart.
In the whole article, the first half is almost about how to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, while the second half is even more difficult, like the legendary ancient heavenly book.
It is also strange to say that what Yun Xiaoxie is cultivating is the Taoist mental method, which is diametrically opposed to the absorption of the sun, moon and starlight on the tortoise shell, but he actually feels that many things he didn't understand in his previous cultivation can faintly find corresponding answers on the tortoise shell.
Of course, there are not many such complementarities, and he has only comprehended seven or eight places so far, but it is these seven or eight places that make him break through the bottleneck and faintly have the feeling of reaching the sixth layer of the realm of divine thoughts.
Seeing that Yun Xiaoxiao didn't speak again, and it seemed that the color on his face was heavier, Song Yourong suddenly felt a little unbearable and worried in his heart, and said, "Is there anything you can't figure out?"
Yun Xiaoxiao stopped, turned his head to look at Song Yourong, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The stars in the sky...... Is it during the day?"
Song Yourong was stunned for a moment, but he really didn't expect Yun Xiaoxie to think about such a boring question, and said casually: "How can there be stars during the day, stars only come out at night." ”
Yun Xiaoye was puzzled: "Why are there stars at night?"
Song Yourong was stunned again, and his eyebrows also showed a sense of thought, and he couldn't help but look up at the Nine Heavens Firmament, only to see that the sky was blue, with white clouds, only the sun that emitted light and heat hung high above the void, where were the stars?
After a while, she said: "The sun, moon and stars alternate, like the alternation of the seasons, the sun comes out, the stars and the moon disappear, the sun goes down, the stars and the moon appear, this is a cycle and reincarnation." I mean, what are you thinking about in your little head?"
Yun Xiaoxie laughed dryly, and was just about to speak, when he suddenly heard an old voice behind him.
"The world is out of my generation, and it has been destroyed by the red dust years. Changsheng asked, talking and laughing, it is better than getting drunk in life. Good wine!
Yun Xiaoxie looked back, his face couldn't help but stiffen slightly, and he instantly showed a look of surprise that was both angry and funny, and said, "It's you!"
On the wilderness trail behind him, I don't know when there were two more figures, one old and one young.
The old man's body was not very tall, and his body was still a little fat, but his hair was fluttering, his eyes were blazing, and at a glance, he had an otherworldly and powerful momentum.
However, at this moment, the old man was holding a bamboo pole curtain with the words "joking about the world" in his left hand, and a big cyan wine gourd in his right hand, his face was slightly red, and it was obviously not noon, and the old man had already drunk a lot of wine.
The little girl beside him was dressed in blue, her eyes were big and bright, her face was like an apple, round, very cute, and she was holding a string of half-eaten rock sugar gourds in her hand.
Seeing Yun Xiaoxie, the little girl couldn't help but roll her eyes.
These two people naturally had a two-sided relationship with Yun Xiaoxi, the grandfather and grandson who walked the rivers and lakes to tell stories.
The little girl shouted, "Yun Xiaoxie, why are you here?!"
Yun Xiaoxie smiled and said: "I want to ask you, how come I can meet the two of you everywhere, I met once outside Tianshui City, once in Yueyang Ancient City, and now I met you again in the wilderness where birds don't, from the truth, did you see my handsome and secretly follow me?"
"Whew!"
The little girl spat out the hawthorn core in her mouth, and said angrily: "Who will follow you? ”
"Girl!"
The grandfather beside him shouted, then looked at Yun Xiaoxiao and Song Yourong, and said with a smile: "Our grandfather and grandson are playing games all over the world as their home, and it is fate to be able to meet the two of them several times." Old husband Xu Tiandi, she is my granddaughter Xu Xiaoya. ”
Yun Xiaoxiao rolled his strange eyes, turned his head and left, ignoring it at all.
Song Yourong saw that this old man was quite old, but he was his senior, and he hugged his fists and said: "I have seen Senior Xu, I am Song Yourong, and he is Yun Xiaoxie." ”
Xu Tiandi smiled and said, "The wilderness is boring, if the two of you don't dislike it, how about rushing together?"
Song Yourong had no opinion, but Yun Xiaoxie, who had walked a few steps, turned around and said: "Hey, hey, little old man, you two ordinary people are going to stay cool, Fairy Yourong and I are strange people who cultivate the truth, fly in the sky, chase the wind and the sun, you can't keep up with us." Besides, if you don't have any money on you, won't we have to take care of your grandfather's and grandson's food and lodging?"
Xu Tiandi's old face turned red, and he was speechless.
Their grandfather and grandson don't make much money by walking the rivers and lakes to tell stories, they were trapped in the Xiangjun Tower in the ancient city of Yueyang a while ago, and they lived for a few days, plus the flood has just passed, and no one has Yaxing to listen to books, there is almost no income, and the silver on the body is indeed almost spent.
Thinking about it, the pair of young people in front of me are righteous and true cultivators, so why wouldn't they die without help, right?
Unexpectedly, although Yun Xiaoxie was young, he had a scheming philistine face, and he actually saw through his thoughts, and he felt a little embarrassed.
Seeing this, Yun Xiaoye was even more sure of what he was thinking, laughed, and said, "I've seen through it! Hmph, you're looking for the wrong person! I'm also poor with Fairy Yourong!"
On the wilderness ancient road, Yun Xiaoxiao and Song Yourong walked in front, and Xu Tiandi and his granddaughter walked far behind the two of them more than ten zhang away, speechless all the way.
At noon, when he came to a small forest, Yun Xiaoye looked at the sky and felt that this wilderness was poor and bad, and he didn't know where the nearest town was, so he greeted Song Yourong.
said: "Yourong Fairy, let's rest for a while." ”
Song Yourong nodded, walked all morning, drove dozens of miles, and she felt a little tired.
The two came to the grove and sat down in the shade, took out the dry food and water they brought with them to eat, and after a while, Xu Tiandi and his granddaughter Xiaoya also walked to the woods.
Maybe he was old, Xu Tiandi was a little panting, walked to an old tree and sat down, drank the wine in the big cyan gourd, but he didn't expect that he was very greedy along the way, and there was no one in it, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Song Yourong looked over, frowned, took out two steamed buns and a bag of water and walked over, and said, "Old man, you don't have any dry food on you, take it." ”
"Thank you, sister!"
The little girl reached out and took it, handed the water bag to her grandfather, and said, "Sister is really a good person." ”
Yun Xiaoxie, who was not far away, said loudly: "Am I not a good person? ”
The little girl snorted, "You're a villain. ”
"What do you say!"
Yun Xiaoye was furious, and somehow, he always looked at the grandfather and grandson who were running the rivers and lakes and telling stories. If he hadn't seen that these two were too old and the little ones were too young, he would have beaten them with a stick and taught them a lesson.
Song Yourong walked to Yun Xiaoxiao and sat down, and said: "What do you have to worry about with them, they are also very difficult, now the world is uneasy, the demon sect is revived, the world is beginning to be turbulent, there are countless thieves and bandits who rob homes and houses, we are all disciples of the righteous path, we can help." ”
Yun Xiaoxie smiled, glared at the little girl, and began to nibble on the cold steamed bun again.
The breeze blew through the treetops, the forest made a rustling sound, and the scene gradually quieted down, after all, Yun Xiaoxiao felt that he was a master of the Tao, and he lost his identity with the old and the young, and he no longer paid attention to them.
In the silence, Yun Xiaoxie's heart remembered the ancient texts he saw on the tortoise shell last night, and for a moment he remembered the ancient cultivation classics he saw in the nameless ancient cave of Shu Mountain.
Song Yourong saw that his face was dull, and he looked at the sky from time to time, knowing that this guy's little head was thinking about those strange things again.
Said: "Little evil, whether there are stars in the sky during the day is too absurd, don't think about it." ”
A word woke up the person in the dream, Yun Xiaoxie came back to his senses, only to feel cold sweat, just now he inadvertently had a feeling of wanting to go crazy.
At the moment, he held his breath and said gratefully: "Thank you Fairy Rong!"
Song Yourong couldn't figure it out for a while, and he didn't know why Yun Xiaoxiao wanted to thank her.
However, Yun Xiaoxie is quite eccentric, and he often does amazing things, and after being stunned, Song Yourong was immediately relieved.
Not far away, Xu Tiandi, an old storyteller who was resting on an old tree, suddenly jumped his brows, and couldn't help but glance at Yun Xiaoxie's side a few times, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He sat there and did not get up, but stretched out his right hand to cover the top of his head, and a few rays of sunlight shone down through the dense foliage, forming specks of light. In the tiny beams of light, you can faintly see the fine particles of dust slowly moving, but beyond the sunlight beams, you can't see anything.
It's as if those particles floating just exist in the sun.
Suddenly, Xu Tiandi said: "Girl, do you know why you can see fine dust in the sun, but you can't see it in the sun?"
Xiaoya was chewing a rock sugar gourd, listening to her grandfather's words, and looked at the tiny dust that was slowly diffusing in the beam around her, but outside the beam was clean, she couldn't see anything, and she was very surprised.
He said, "Grandpa, why is this? Could it be that even dust has spirituality?"
Xu Tiandi smiled, the old and wrinkled palm of his right hand was slightly blocked by a small beam of light from under the lush branches and leaves, and in an instant, the dust floating in the beam disappeared immediately.
After a while, he said slowly: "Actually, the dust has always been there, but we can't see it." ”
With that, his palm moved away again, and the beam shot down again, and the dust that had disappeared reappeared in the beam.
Xiaoya couldn't help but say, "Why can't we see it?"
Xu Tiandi smiled: "It's because of the sun, the sun's brilliance can make the fine dust hidden in the darkness appear." It can also cover up things that are weaker than it. It's like dust in front of you......"
In the distance, Yun Xiaoxie's body shook slightly, his face showed stunned and incredulous eyes, and he couldn't help but look at Xu Tiandi.
That Xu Tiandi has a fat body, short and fat, and at this moment, he is completely a bad old man, but he is such an inconspicuous little old man who has solved the mystery that Yun Xiaoyi can't solve.
Yun Xiaoye muttered, "Actually, the dust has always been there, but we can't see it...... The sun's light mix allows fine dust to appear hidden in the darkness, and it can also cover things that are brighter than hers......"
Suddenly, he stood up violently and looked up at the sky again.
But this time, he didn't look at the blue sky, but at the sun that shimmered with a warm light.
