Chapter 20: Erqing descends the mountain
broke free from the hundred-year-old body of the imprisoned soul and turned into a turbid son.
Summoned the body to condense the green clothes, and refined the fanged sword three feet.
The black hair dances lightly, the eyes are like stars, and the middle of the sword eyebrows is red and purple.
The nose is straight and the forehead is handsome, and the smile is hearty and white teeth are exposed.
The waist spans the long sword and jade belt, and the feet are also on the clouds.
Shake your head and look around, it will take a hundred years to get this body.
Extraordinarily handsome, as beautiful as a demon.
If it weren't for the sword eyebrows and heroic eyes, he would only be a woman and a man.
A three-foot sword hangs from his waist, and his long hair dances in the wind. The body is like a dragon, and he goes down the mountain to worship his mother.
The old mother sat in the palace, pinched her fingers and calculated lightly, and then nodded, as if she had made up her mind.
"Erqing greets Master!"
Erqing gently lifted the hem of his clothes, bowed in front of the old mother's seat, and bowed respectfully.
"Get up!" the old mother looked kind, and said: "You have practiced for a hundred years, and finally gone to the animal form, and now it is a small achievement, and in the future, you must guard against arrogance and rashness, and keep your heart." ”
"Master don't worry, disciple can save it!" Er Qing nodded, quite a sense of spirit.
The old mother nodded and said, "Get up and talk!"
When Erqing got up, the old mother said: "The old body is just your guide, and now your cultivation can be regarded as entering the door, and then you have to rely on yourself." ”
Hey?
This is the rhythm that is going to drive me away?!
Erqing raised his head, showing doubts, and said, "Master, I have been practicing for a hundred years before I went to the snake body, and now my cultivation has only just started, and I still need to be taught by the master......"
The old mother waved her hand and said, "There is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed for a hundred years. The old body has already taught you, and the rest of the spells, the old body has already thought of a place for you. ”
"Master......"
Erqing immediately knelt down, looking sad.
With a flick of the old mother's hand, Erqing couldn't lie down anymore and stood upright.
"Cultivators, why do you have to be that child? When the old man led you into the door, he also thought that you were wholeheartedly good, and he couldn't bear to see you waste his years. Now that the fate of master and apprentice is over, you can go!"
"If the teacher's kindness has not been reported, how can I go to it!" Er Qing choked slightly.
"The old body led you in the door, and he didn't expect you to reciprocate. Don't make trouble in the future, you can be regarded as repaying the kindness of the old body. If you cause trouble, don't say that the old body is your master!"
"Master......"
The old mother didn't see the look on Erqing's face, she still looked kind, and said: "The old man has made a divination for you, and the benefit is in the southwest." Hundreds of years ago, the old body once pointed out a white snake in the land of Sichuan and Shu, and more than a hundred years ago, she also transformed into a condensation pill and cultivated deeper than you. You are a snake, she is also a snake, you go to the southwest, you can go to her. And the rest of your cultivation is on her. Thinking of the old body, I think she should not refuse. ”
As she spoke, the old mother took out a letter from her arms and said, "I have a letter of recommendation, you take it and go to Qingcheng Mountain to find the white snake, and don't go back here in the future!"
The rest of the spells are 'spells'. In the past, Erqing only practiced the 'Fa', but never practiced the 'Shu'. I thought that I could ask the master to teach him this time, but I never thought that this was the result, who would have thought that this kind and mother-like woman would act so resolutely, and who would have thought that I would just turn into a condensation pill and would leave here.
Thinking back to the past 100 years, Master's kindness and earnest teachings to him, Er Qing felt sad in his heart, and the tears couldn't help but flow down.
After being sad for a while, he slowly came back to his senses and accepted the letter.
I thought to myself: Even the letter is ready, this is a long time ago to make up my mind and send me away! Could it be that people in the cultivation have to be so cruel and forcibly cut off the worries in their lives?
Is it really worth it to cut off the seven emotions and six desires for the sake of cultivation?
At this moment, Er Qing was a little puzzled.
In practice, everyone says that they are too forgetful, but if they are ruthless, how is that different from grass, trees, and livestock? Is it possible that only by cutting off the seven emotions and six desires can we get away with it?
So what's the use of getting away with it?
Isn't a person's free life sad?
At this moment, Erqing's heart was a little dazed.
When Erqing was at a loss in his heart and thinking wildly, he heard his mother say: "That white snake's name is Bai Suzhen, and he has practiced for hundreds of years more than you. I hope you two can support each other in the future. ”
Erqing took the letter and was stunned.
What did Master just say?
White Snake Bai Suzhen?
Although the legend says that the old mother of Lishan did accept Bai Suzhen as a disciple, isn't that a legend? Is this not only the world of Journey to the West, the world of Liaozhai, or the world of the White Snake?
Erqing was a little confused, and in his dazed heart, he was even more confused!
After a long time, he said, "Master, can the disciple ask some questions?"
"Just ask!"
"Master drove me away like this, do you want to cut off the master-apprentice bond between you and me?"
The old mother looked at him with some surprise, nodded and said, "It's okay to say that!"
"Master, what is the difference between a person's possession and that of grass and livestock is because a person has seven emotions and six desires, if these are cut off, what is the difference between that person and grass, trees and livestock?" Er Qing asked again.
When the old mother heard this, she couldn't help but nod with some relief, and said, "You can find the answer to this question by yourself." When you really find this answer one day, you will not be far from enlightenment!"
When Erqing heard this, he was a little regretful, and finally said: "Master, when I was traveling to the west, I heard that there are one hundred and eight changes in the world, divided into the number of heavens and the number of earth. The monkey who was crushed under that sacred mountain learned the number of earth evils. I wonder if Master can teach me these techniques of change?"
When the old mother heard this, she smiled and said, "You brute, you have a big heart! Alright, you can go!"
With a wave of the old mother's wide sleeves, Erqing was 'swept' out of the old mother's palace.
Say goodbye to the master and go down the mountain, one step and three times to be sincere.
Once a hundred years of fate is gone, when can I repay the teacher's kindness?
After being entangled again and again, he finally came down to the mountain, seeing people coming and going, the traffic was busy, and the voices of people were boiling, and Erqing couldn't help but be a little stunned. Away from the floating world for hundreds of years, I don't know what year it is in the world?
When the road met pedestrians, it was learned that the Western Jin Dynasty had been destroyed at this time, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty had just been built.
Think about when I first came to this world, the Western Jin Dynasty was built, and the Eastern Wu was not destroyed, but now it is a thing and a person, and it is true, a day in the mountains, and the world has been a thousand years.
"Where did you come from, you're so handsome!"
On the road, there are pedestrians who see Erqing handsome, and they can't help pointing and commenting.
When the maidens saw him, their faces were full of peach blossoms, and when the young women saw him, they secretly sent autumn waves, and many scribes saw him with evil eyes.
At that time, the male style was prevalent, and the beauty of femininity was popular, and a handsome man like Erqing was the type loved by those good masculine scholars.
Seeing this, Erqing sighed lightly, quickened his pace, and hurried away.
Looking back at the place where I have lived for a hundred years, I feel sad, and I can only feel better when I look at the south from afar.
The mountain breeze is blowing, and the pace is fast, but the road ahead is uncertain but there is a period.
Although the frost is like fire in the heart, I think of the beauty and the sound.
