Chapter 58
In the days that followed, he could insist on going to the Scripture Pavilion every day to read all kinds of books, which occupied most of his day, and slowly he discovered the joy of books, and sometimes even forgot to sleep and eat. He understood that many times reading books is actually cultivating the mind, especially in this hurried world, it is difficult for anyone to be quiet and enjoy the moment when only he exists.
You can fetch water at least a dozen times a day, and now you are holding a bucket in one hand and two buckets in two. At this time, you can already calmly pull the bow with your backhand, and then turn to your forehand to release the arrow, and the power of the arrow is indeed much greater than usual.
"Uncle Ran, are the stars in the sky the same as I saw last night?"
Uncle Ran shook his head, "Maybe it's the same, maybe it's different." ”
You can still look at the starry sky, the starry sky is especially bright tonight, and the light of the moon has even changed in large areas, "Since the stars are different every day, how can I count how many stars there are?"
"Yes, why are you walking the rivers and lakes?"
"At first I wanted to be a hero, then I wanted to find a piece of wood. ”
"What kind of wood are you looking for?"
"Once I was in the rivers and lakes, I felt like a straw that had fallen into the river, and if I couldn't find a piece of wood that I could rely on, I would drift without a purpose. ”
"Did you find it?"
"Nope. ”
"Where are you looking?"
"I don't know. ”
"Do you know what this piece of wood means to you?"
You can turn your head and look at the relief, "I don't know...... I just felt like I had to find it. ”
"Yes, what do you use to look at the stars?"
You can answer with some confusion: "Eyes." ”
Relieved and shook his head, "Eyes are easy to be deceived, what can be recognized is very simple things, and really complex things can only be seen with the heart, this is internal strength." ”
You can not understand what Uncle Ran said, "Uncle Ran can only see things clearly with his eyes, how can he see with his heart?"
"You close your eyes, close the outer world you see, and feel. ”
You can close your eyes, face the starry sky, and all you see is pitch black, no matter how you feel, it's still pitch black.
"Uncle Ran, all I saw was a dark patch...... Uncle Ran, Uncle Ran!" you can open your eyes and see that Uncle Ran has already walked away.
"Uncle Ran, I can't see it!"
Uncle Ran said from afar, "That's because what you see is your eyelids, and you still use your eyes, not your heart......"
The weather is getting colder and colder, and I can already add two pieces of clothing, and now the water in those five large tanks will form a thin layer of ice in just one night. In the morning, a layer of hoarfrost will appear on the grass, and the air will become icy and cold. You can still get up every day when the bell rings, fetch water, and then go to the library to read.
"Yes, I've already given you everything I can teach, it's almost time. ”
"When is it?"
"Harness it. ”
Uncle Ran brought him to the attic where they first competed in archery and later taught them to practice archery. Uncle Ran took out the bow called "Waste" and those unusual arrows from the bottom of the box.
"You try. ”
I could take the bow and arrows, and suddenly I felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, and the bow seemed to be alive.
Relief saw the nervousness and panic in his heart, "Don't be afraid, feel it with your heart, and then conquer it." ”
You can take a deep breath, put the arrow on the bow, and slowly close your eyes. At this moment, he was still in the dark, his heart was constantly running, constantly searching, without any direction, on a road without a road. Suddenly a man appeared in front of him, a distant figure to be exact, who could run towards him with all his might, but no matter how long he ran, he could not reach it, and he tried his best to shout, but he could not hear his own voice. Just when it was time to despair, the man turned around, but he still couldn't see his face. You can just go forward, and suddenly a river that I don't know how wide appears in front of you, and on the edge of this bank, the person is on the other side. At this time, he seemed to understand something and closed his eyes.
At the same moment, he could open his eyes, aim at the tree where he had first shot an arrow, and pull the bow away, strangely enough, he didn't feel how much effort he had used, and it was no different from an ordinary bow. Almost instantly, he released the arrow, and the string barely made a sound, and the arrow went straight into the tree.
You can turn your head and look at Uncle Ran happily, Uncle Ran didn't show a trace of surprise, as if he had expected it a long time ago, and even a little abnormal. After he could finish shooting the arrows, Uncle Ran put the bow and arrows back at the bottom of the box without a sound, and he didn't answer when he could talk to him.
"Uncle Ran, what's wrong with you?"
"Uncle Ran, why don't you speak?"
"Oh~ I know, are you afraid that my archery skills are good and steal your limelight, as a monk, you are really careful, hahahaha......"
Uncle Ran ignored it and walked down the attic alone, leaving only a few dry laughs that could be alone. Although I don't know what happened to Uncle Ran, I know that Uncle Ran's realm must be much higher than my own, so I didn't ask, and when Uncle Ran thought about it, he would naturally come to talk to him.
That night, after you could sleep, it snowed heavily, but there was no wind, just fell quietly, quietly spread on the ground, layer after layer. The thick clouds blocked the brightness of the night sky, but the white snow on the ground seemed to glow, standing in the vastness, as if the heavens and the earth were exchanged, and came to the clouds.
By the next morning, the snow had already stopped, and the first snow of the year was a sign that winter had finally arrived. The surrounding sky, including the sky, was blank, as if time had stood still. The stream still flowed, but the stones on both sides had turned into white cotton. There is only a series of footprints on the forest path, and you can carry a bucket to fetch water in the pool, enjoying this quiet moment. At this time, the temple door is closed, and the monks all get up one after another to start a new day.
Suddenly, the temple gate "banged", and he was carrying two buckets of water back from the pool, and when he just passed in front of the temple gate, the temple gate "banged" again. You can stand still and glance at the temple gate, and the door rings again, and after the ringing, there is a series of dog barking. He could hear it and stood still, his heart racing, and the bucket fell to the ground.
"What are you doing here, this is the Shaolin Temple, where the monks live! You want to become a monk!" A familiar voice came from the door.
At this time, a little monk rubbed his sleepy eyes and shouted, "Here, here." "Walked over. The little monk was short, and it took a lot of effort to stand on tiptoe to remove the latch of the door, and then he opened the door with both hands, and shouted as he pulled back: "Oops, oops." ”
You can look straight at the door with both eyes, the door opened, there was nothing outside, and the little monk shouted: Huh~ What about people?" can be excited in his heart, and before he can call the jujube cake, Ah Huang jumped into the threshold and ran towards him.
Ah Huang shouted while running, but the snow in the Shaolin Temple was too thick, Ah Huang jumped and buried all his body in the snow, and then jumped out of the snow with a "Wang" sound, just like a fish jumping around. With tears in his eyes, he bent down to pick up Ah Huang, Ah Huang was covered in snow and didn't pounce into his arms, he threw himself directly on his face, threw himself into the snow, and then shook his head and licked his face.
"Ah Huang, where are you going, come back quickly!" A voice came from the door, and he saw Ah Huang licking something on the ground from a distance, and then said: "Ah Huang, what are you doing, you ......" Just halfway through speaking, you can get up and see him.
"Little grain!"
Xiaoliang saw that he was wearing monk's clothes, and he was excited to run in the snow like Ah Huang, rushed to the front of him and hugged him, and he could be pressed down on the snow again, "Yes, you are still fucking alive, I thought you were dead!"
can talk to himself with tears in his eyes on the jujube cake, shaking his neck vigorously, "Jujube cake, I miss you to death, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have scolded you for being a donkey, you are the smartest horse in the world I have ever seen." ”
