Chapter Twenty-Four: The Mysterious Woodcutter
Just when Ling Kong sighed in his heart that Fangcun Mountain was worthy of being a blessed land, some words faintly came from the deep forest in the distance. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Ling Kong's mind gathered, and listened patiently with his ears, but found that a song like the sound of entering the avenue came from afar:
Watching chess is rotten, logging Ding Ding, and the cloud side valley mouth Xu Xing. Selling salaries and drinking, laughing wildly and cultivating himself. The path is high in autumn, and the pine roots of the moon pillow are bright in the sky. Recognize the old forest, climb the cliff and cross the ridge, and break the withered vine with an axe. Harvest into a load, in the song market, easy rice three liters. There is no competition, and the price is mediocre. will not be cunning, no honor and disgrace, and will prolong life calmly. Everywhere they meet, they are not immortals, they are Taoists, and they sit quietly and talk about "Yellow Court".
Listening to the singing, Ling Kong's heart moved......
However, in the legend of the previous life, a woodcutter singing the "Song of the Immortals" was at the foot of this square inch mountain to guide Wukong to the direction of the three stars of the oblique moon.
This time, I set off with Wukong more than 200 years earlier, and I thought I wouldn't meet this woodcutter. I didn't expect it, but I don't know if this person is the same person as the former, if it is the same person, then the identity of this woodcutter must be unusual, ordinary people can't live for two hundred years.
Thinking of this volley, they were secretly awe-inspiring, and greeted Sun Wukong, and the two hurriedly moved in the direction where the song came from.
The two of them followed the song to find it, but saw a woodcutter about thirty years old looking at the firewood with an axe, but the image of the woodcutter was not ordinary, but they saw that the woodcutter was just as stated in the book: "Wearing a hat on his head is the first kind of bamboo shoots to be shed." He wears cloth garments, which are woven from cotton. The waist is tied with a ring, which is the silk of the old silkworm's mouth. Stepping on the grass is the coolness of withered sand. Hand - steel axe, carry hemp rope. Pull loose and split dead trees, compete for this woodwork energy!"
Ling Kong looked at this woodcutter who looked like an ordinary person, but he was in awe, knowing that this was a high immortal who had reached the realm of returning to the basics, but with his current meager mana, he couldn't see it carefully.
"Disciple Sun Wukong, I have seen the old immortals. Sun Wukong on the side saw that Ling Kong was slow to speak, so he couldn't help but bow to the woodcutter.
"Please get up, I can't do it, I'm just an ordinary woodcutter, how to be a fairy. Listening to Sun Wukong's question, the woodcutter hurriedly waved his hand.
"This ......" Sun Wukong looked at the woodcutter, and had no idea in his heart, so he had to look at the volley beside him.
Ling Kong knew that the woodcutter's words just now were completely innumerable, so he bowed and saluted, and said respectfully to the woodcutter: "Junior, I have seen my predecessors, and my brother Wukong came from afar, I asked for immortals, visited famous teachers, and hoped that my predecessors could advise." ”
Seeing that the volley was respectful, Sun Wukong also saluted again.
"I'm an ordinary woodcutter, how can I be worthy of the title of senior, you don't want to scream. Seeing that the volley was so respectful, the woodcutter waved his hand in disgust and said.
Ling Kong listened with a wry smile and said: "If the predecessors are ordinary people, there are very few people in this world who can be called immortals." ”
Although he said so, there was a slander in his heart: "I know the specific situation, otherwise I would really have to be fooled by you, who can live more than two hundred years old in this ordinary person." ”
"Huh, how can you kid be so sure that I'm not an ordinary woodcutter", seeing that Ling Kong still insisted on his opinion, the woodcutter showed a look of surprise, but there was a slight acknowledgment between the words.
"Uh...... , although the predecessors do not seem to have any mana fluctuations, and have stepped into the realm of returning to the basics, but the temperament of a worldly master is difficult to hide. Volley, a little sycophant slapped on it.
"Haha, okay, your mere Yuan Infant cultivation is to talk about the realm of returning to the basics. It must be known that there are countless Da Luo Jin Immortals in this world, but there are a few people who can realize such a realm, and it is not easy to return to the basics. But look at your kid is very smart, and his vision is also good, I will show you a clear way, here is the boundary of Fangcun Mountain, there is a three-star cave in the mountain, and the owner of this cave is a real master. I'm nowhere near as good as that. You go out of this deep forest, and follow the path to the south, about seven or eight miles to the south," the woodcutter laughed and scolded, and it seemed that the fart of the volley was steady.
"Thank you, seniors, after all, the location of the three-star cave of the oblique moon has been determined" Ling Kong's heart was relieved, and he saluted the woodcutter and thanked him.
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay. You two go on your own, and I'll go first. The woodcutter's figure slowly faded, but it was an afterimage, and two loud laughs came from afar.
"This ...... , dare to ask the name of the senior, whether we can meet in the future. Volley shouted into the distance.
"Haha, if you are destined for me, you will have the opportunity to meet again in the future. The woodcutter's voice drifted from afar.
......
Bidding farewell to the woodcutter, Ling Kong and Sun Wukong went out of the deep forest, found a winding mountain path, walked along the south, about seven or eight miles, and really saw a fairy cave, but see:
The smoke is scattered, and the sun and the moon shake the light. Thousands of old cypresses, ten thousand knots to repair the fence. Thousands of old cypresses, with rain in the middle of the sky, green and rising; ten thousand festivals are repaired, containing smoke and a ravine. Strange flowers outside the door, the grass by the bridge is fragrant. The stone cliff is abrupt and mossy, and the hanging wall is high and green and long. When I hear the cranes, I see the phoenix soaring. When the crane is chirping, the sound vibrates in the sky and the sky is far away, and the phoenix soars, and the feathers are colorful and cloudy. The white deer of the ape is hidden, and the golden lion and jade elephant are hidden. Take a closer look at the blessed land, what a paradise!
Volley's eye saw that the door of the cave in front of him was closed, as if there was no one in sight. On the right side of the entrance of the cave stands a stone tablet that is more than three zhang high, eight feet wide, and there is a line of ten big characters engraved on it, which is "Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, the three-star cave of the oblique moon".
Suppressing the excitement in their hearts, Ling Kong and Sun Wukong stepped forward and knocked on the stone door. After a while, a fairy child with red lips and white teeth and a strange appearance came out, his hair was twisted up to form a high sideburns, dressed in a white robe, as if it was spotless, and he held a handful of floating dust in his right hand and put it on his left arm, looked at the two and said:
"Who are you two, and why are you harassing you all the time?"
"Fairy Child, our brothers are here to ask for immortals, and there is no harassment. Volley said.
"Are you both visiting?" asked the boy.
"Exactly" both Ling Kong and Sun Wukong responded.
"It turns out that it was the two of you, just now my master had just set up a dojo and was on the altar to prepare a sermon, and before he started, he asked me to come out and open the door, saying that two cultivators outside were coming, and they could go to receive them. It must be the two of you. Then come with me to the Master. The boy beckoned to the two.
"Yes, yes, it's the two of us. Sun Wukong said happily on the side.
The two of them straightened up the image at the door, which had become cluttered due to the long distance, and followed the boy and strolled into the entrance of the cave.
"This three-star cave of the slanting moon turned out to be a small world, no wonder Lin Yinluo didn't know about it. After entering the cave and opening the surrounding situation, he was in a trance for a while, and thought dumbfounded.
