Chapter 36: Alternative Practice
Half an hour later, Erqing rode back in the clouds.
In his Qiankun bag, there is an extra Yaoqin and a jade flute, as well as a lot of books and pen, ink, paper and inkstone. In addition to books about qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, there are also various miscellaneous books, such as pharmacopoeia and the like.
There are a lot of gold and silver jewels in the Qiankun bag of the original river god of the Heishui River, and Erqing exchanged these for books or something, which can be regarded as worthy of those gold and silver jewels.
Yu Yuntou looked down and saw that on the galloping road, the flag summoned to welcome the wind, and the gun halberd reflected the sun. The dragon horse is rolling up the flat post, and the wind is galloping.
War in the world is about to break out.
Seeing this, Erqing just sighed lightly and drove away again.
After returning to the mountain, Er Qing took out a bell from the Qiankun bag, tied it around the neck of the little fox Hongya with a red rope, and said with a smile: "This is for you, I hope you will like it!"
The little fox curiously flicked the bell around his neck with his paws, and there was a jingling sound, and for a moment the music squeaked and flashed around the house, and the jingle sound followed.
With such a bell hanging on her body, if she was allowed to go out to hunt on her own, she would naturally not be able to, but now that the little fox is following them, it can be regarded as domestic, so there is no need for her to go out and hunt on her own.
After all, out of Dabai's territory, other places are also extremely dangerous.
Seeing that the little fox was having a good time, Er Qing and Da Bai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Along the way, the little fox has been very silent, which makes the second snake secretly worried, and now he is relieved to see her like this.
Then, Er Qing said again: "Senior sister, I bought a lot of things and came back, you can come and see!"
As he spoke, Er Qing walked into the room next to him, took out all kinds of books in the Qiankun bag, as well as the four treasures of the study, and put them on the bookshelves and desks. When it was almost done, the little fox also jumped into the house, squatting on the bamboo table and staring at it, watching quietly.
"Senior sister, this will be our study in the future!" Er Qing said, taking out the yaoqin and jade flute, "Well, I have to make a few wooden tables tomorrow, this bamboo table is not smooth enough after all." ”
"Senior brother, what is the use of these things?" she pointed to the Yaoqin and the jade flute, and said: "I am good at reading books and learning words to understand things, but what is the use of this musical instrument for us?"
Erqing smiled and said: "Senior sister's words are wrong! Reading books can be reasonable, and learning words can nourish qi." However, this fun and chess can also cultivate sentiment, calm the mind, and nourish the mind. In addition to practicing, you can also use this to pass the leisure time, why not?"
"Do you know these?" Dabai asked again.
Erqing coughed lightly and said, "It's just because I can't, I need to learn, don't you?"
After a pause, he said again: "Life has been in a hurry for a hundred years, but our demon life has been hundreds of thousands of years, so much time, if all of it is used for cultivation, wouldn't it be boring?"
Da Bai Xiu's eyebrows locked lightly, and then said to Erqing Zhengse: "Senior brother, you have such an idea, but it is wrong. Cultivation is originally a boring thing, but it is this kind of boredom that can consolidate the Dao heart and see things without wavering, and it is precisely this kind of water grinding kung fu that can cultivate one's body to perfection. If you can't stand this boring work, then how can you talk about cultivation? Go to that world to enjoy yourself!"
Erqing hugged his fists and smiled: "Senior sister Jin Yu has good words, Erqing is taught!"
Seeing that Erqing had a good attitude of admitting his mistakes, Da Bai breathed a sigh of relief. However, before Da Bai could catch his breath, he heard Erqing say: "Senior Sister Ran also knows about entering the world to practice, and refining the heart in the red dust, these are the things that human beings respect the most, if you don't understand these things, how will you integrate into the human world in the future?
When Da Bai heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Then he listened to Erqing continue: "Besides, although these things are not required for cultivators like us, if you don't learn them for fear of delaying your cultivation, then you don't have to. Moreover, cultivation is not something that can be obtained in a hurry, and after learning this, may it be possible to touch the bypass? Lao Jun said, Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things. Therefore, this qin, chess, calligraphy and painting should be regarded as a thing derived from the Great Dao! People's speech skills can enter the Tao, and art can be understood by God. It can be seen that when the skill reaches a certain level, it can be combined with that path, isn't this another kind of cultivation?"
Da Bai was thoughtful.
Erqing said again: "And I think that my sister's posture when she plays the piano or plays the flute must be more beautiful!"
Hearing this, Da Bai couldn't help glaring at him and said, "From tomorrow onwards, you will learn those techniques of change with me, if you can't learn the art of turning rivers and seas within a month, then don't recognize me as a senior sister! If you can learn those techniques in a short period of time, senior sister will not prevent you from learning these." ”
“......”
Does that count as anger?
On the moonlit night of the twenty-four bridges, where does the jade teach?
This road is long, I should slowly figure it, long seeking!
Hearing this, Er Qing nodded and said, "Senior sister, please rest assured, I should also be refining the Dao heart, the way of cultivating qi in the clear nature, and I will never indulge in it, and waste the real cultivation!"
"It's good if you know!" Da Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his junior brother had more ideas than her, and it was really getting harder and harder to teach.
......
After a while, Erqing made a table of dishes, and then beckoned Da Bai and Hong Aya to take a seat, and taught Hong Aya to hold chopsticks with her paws, which made Da Bai angry and funny.
Red Aya fiddled with the bamboo chopsticks stupidly, but she just couldn't pick them up.
In the end, he could only use his big black eyes, looking at Erqing with a serious expression, and then at Da Bai, who looked helpless and seemed to be smiling, and his small appearance was very innocent.
As a result, Da Bai still couldn't stand it, so he pushed Erqing aside, took a bamboo bowl, and put some food for Hongyan in front of it, "Eat! ”
After a pause, she said again: "Tomorrow, you can also practice with us!"
Little Red Aya nodded cutely, but she didn't know that this was its creation.
That night, Xiao Hongya climbed to the roof of the small building in the middle of the lake, squatted on it, and looked northeast.
In that direction, is its hometown, and in its hometown, there is an old ancestor.
Outside the terrace of the bamboo house, Da Bai was reading books, but what she was reading were those medical books.
Erqing also held a book in his hand, lying on a bamboo chair, his feet turned into a snake's tail and paddled in the lake to clear the waves.
The hazy moonlight shrouds the four fields. Watching the text and wine, it is very pleasant. Occasionally stop playing the piano, and the sound is like striking iron. The gulls and herons flew in fright, and they went to cut it. The starry eyes are frequent, and the beauty is strange!
At some point, both of them raised their heads and turned their heads to look northeast.
Then they both took off into the air, driving the clouds and fog into the night.
Looking from a distance, he saw a flash of thunder in the northeast, although he couldn't see it very clearly, but the two snakes also felt that this was a thunderstorm brewing.
Come to think of it, the old red fox has already begun to survive its life and death catastrophe.
