Chapter 12: On the Word I

A round moon hung high in the sky, spreading milky white light all over the land. A trace of mist like cow's milk slowly flowed in the sparse bamboo forest, with a fairy-like taste. The bamboos in this bamboo forest are all emerald gold, and the white moonlight exudes a mysterious and solemn purple gold luster. The bamboo poles, which are a foot thick, swayed gently in the breeze, and the bamboo leaves emitted a subtle, as if penetrating the bottom of people's hearts.

On the edge of the bamboo forest, by a small stream that is no more than a foot wide and no more than a foot deep, a huge tiger is lying on the shore leisurely, its right paw gently stirring in the stream. The huge tiger claws did not ripple in the water, and even the finger-length fish in the water were not frightened at all, allowing the huge claws to pass by their side. Everything in front of you is filled with a natural, leisurely, pure and tranquil taste. It was supposed to be a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests and setting off a fishy wind, but it was just a kitten playing in the water there.

Next to the tiger, there is a delicate bamboo table, and two bamboo chairs are placed next to it. On the bamboo table, there are more than a dozen rolls of bamboo slips and jade books with shimmering light, and on the bamboo chair, there are two Taoist priests wearing cyan Taoist robes. The older one, with a clear and simple face, a long beard, and a fluttering shirt in the night wind, with a very fairy taste, at this moment he was looking up at the sky, looking at the moon with two eyes, not knowing what to think again.

Everything is as if it is a fairy mansion, the realm of immortals, solemn, solemn, pure and comfortable. But with the addition of a second Taoist priest, the taste of everything changed. He was wearing a Taoist robe, but the Taoist robe was wrinkled, his head was tied in a Taoist bun, but the hair bun seemed to have thatched grass, and countless hairs poked out; in particular, his whole body was leaning on the bamboo table, his left hand was holding his chin, and his right hand was holding a barbecue deer leg and constantly sending it into his mouth and tearing it, and his mouth was full of grease like a call on the street; and his eyes were completely lacking in the steady and calm demeanor of a cultivator, and he was purely a thief's eye, looking around the old Taoist's body.

How to say, how to say? A huge painting of a splashed landscape with splashed ink suddenly got a ball of dog shit, which is how this scene feels to other people.

Time passed minute by minute, the moon had already gone a long way in the sky, the deer legs in the hands of the little Taoist Li Feng had been gnawed clean, and the bones had been thrown to the kitten to lick, and the old Taoist priest was still in a daze. Finally, Li Feng couldn't hold it back, he turned his head to look at the kitten who was licking the bones with relish, and shouted loudly: "Hey, cat, let's go back to sleep, we won't be able to play dumb riddles with this kind of enlightenment." Amitabha, go back to your room and sleep. ”

Xiao Longzi, who was fluting on the side, finally reacted, his head shook desperately, he coughed, tried his best to put on a solemn face of a master, and asked: "Apprentice, um, well, what is the master calling you out for today?"

Li Feng lazily lay on the bamboo table, yawned, squinted at his master and said: "Oh, it seems that it is, didn't the master say that the day before yesterday the little master was in retreat and practice? You just said let me rest for a day, and I have a good (accented tone) to refine the 'Vermilion Bird Yue' (accentuated tone again), today, isn't it what you said you want to preach to me? However, I ate a dinner for two full hours, from the time the moon went up to the time the moon was about to set, your old man didn't say a word. ”

Xiao Longzi's face was embarrassed, and he hurriedly raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, as if he didn't hear the three words 'Vermilion Bird', and coughed again and said: "Ah, yes, this, the master wants me to teach you well, the master naturally can't be lazy, and naturally he has to teach you something well...... However, it is not ......"

Li Feng looked at Xiao Longzi strangely, straightened up and asked carefully: "Master, it can't be that you are too stingy, only asking one person to be an immortal, so you are reluctant to teach me the Fa, right? It's been three years, except for you and that evil moon and the old head, I've only seen little aunts, people who want to spread rumors and haven't listened to books. ”

Xiao Longzi sighed and said: "Apprentice, it's not that I'm stingy, what can't I say about this method? Master, I went up the mountain at the age of nine, what is there that I can't see people? But ...... It's just ......"

Li Feng bit back: "Ha, ha, ha, master, you went up the mountain at the age of nine? I peeked at a woman taking a bath when I was nine years old, and you must have seen it too, master, so you didn't dare to tell me." ”

Xiao Longzi hurriedly argued: "Ridiculous, ridiculous, master, where did I have time to peek at women taking a bath at that time......? Well, well, apprentice, I'm talking to you about the Fa, not about the master, don't look at me like this, go, go, how can your eyes be the same as a mountain mouse who wants to come out of the hole to steal rice to eat?...... However, after I went up the mountain, my master, that is, your ancestor, didn't give me a serious lecture on the Tao, and I really don't know where to start. ”

Li Feng jumped up violently, squatted on the bamboo chair, and scolded loudly: "Damn, you old bull nose lies." You went up the mountain at the age of nine, and no one taught you the Taoism, how can you cultivate the Tao......? Stinginess is stinginess, don't make excuses for you old guy, kitten, let's go, let's go back to sleep. Master, I'm the ancestor of lying, are you playing this trick in front of me?"

Xiao Longzi hurriedly grabbed Li Feng's sleeve with one hand, and said in a low voice: "Hey, hey, hey, apprentice, don't run." Master, I really didn't lie, master, I was enlightened when I was three years old, although there were wars everywhere, but when I was nine years old, I was also a small well-read, and this literal kung fu was difficult to master me...... However, you are twelve years old, and you still can't read a single word, master, I'm really a little surprised. ”

Li Feng's face is old, but now he can't help but blush. He sat back on the bamboo chair and laughed: "Ha, old man, you don't know, master, I have been preparing to do something big since I was a child, and Ah Zhu and I are going to make our 'Golden Dragon Gang' the largest gang in Suzhou Prefecture, so we have less effort to study." We also have to hone the kung fu we have at hand, don't we? Otherwise, we will have to eat the whip...... Ha, ha, ha. Ah, master, oh, no, I misunderstood the master, master, you continue, haha, keep talking. ”

Xiao Longzi was silent again, and turned over the bamboo case with both hands for a long time, from "Notes on the Huangting Sutra" to "The Sutra of Too Humble Heart" for a long time, but he couldn't find a sentence that could be said. In the past hundred years in the Yiyuan Sect, enlightenment and cultivation have basically been carried out by one person, and when he and the junior brothers such as Evil Yuezi and Gu Lingzi begin to support and refer to each other, it is also the time when he reaches the late stage of condensation, and Jin Dan is about to succeed, and now he is talking about the Tao to Li Feng, naturally he can't talk about too profound things.

However, Xiao Longzi couldn't say anything other than esoteric things that he could say with his mouth. The essence of the most basic 'Tao' is realized by man himself. Xiao Longzi's current Taoism can be regarded as a powerful cultivator, but he is definitely not a cultivator, so he has nothing to say. 'The Tao is speechless', and this 'Dao' cannot be described in detail in words.

Li Feng saw that the cold sweat on Xiao Longzi's forehead came out, and he couldn't help but feel a little pitiful, shook his head and said, "Okay, master, you don't have to be busy." Since you cultivated on your own, I'm not stupider than you, apprentice, right? It should be said that I'm much smarter than you, so naturally apprentices can also cultivate, right?...... Anyway, it's time to eat when you're full, so let's chat...... You said that little aunt is in retreat, why don't you say a word to me, and if you say that you are in retreat, you will retreat? This is too impersonal, isn't it?"

Xiao Longzi found the topic, and he hurriedly said: "Little junior sister retreat, that is the meaning of the head of the sect, and the essence of our Yiyuan Sect's cultivation is to do as you like, as you like, naturally, there will not be so many rules and etiquette like other sects, so the little junior sister retreat, that is, she needs to retreat, so she will go directly to the Danfang, and there is no need to have a respectful ceremony like other sects." ”

Xiao Longzi found the topic and began to talk eloquently: "Let's just say that the Emei Sword Sect, the head of the master enters and exits, and the junior disciples under the sect have to bathe and change clothes, and send them in and out, this is the big rules of the sect." Especially when they practice swords, swordsmen, and murder weapons, if they do not have a righteous, balanced, peaceful, and stable heart in their hearts, they are easy to go mad. Therefore, everything requires a rule, and the people should develop the habit of being cautious and cautious when they are normal, so that when the swordsmanship is perfected, there will be no mistakes. ”

Li Feng came to his senses: "So, what do we Yiyuan Sect pay attention to?...... If we fight this, we and them, whoever loses, who wins?...... Practicing swords can also become immortals, and we can also become immortals by refining qi, who is superior and who is inferior?" Li Feng has already made up his mind, if Xiao Longzi said that Yiyuan Sect is the most powerful fight, he must burn Mount Emei, if it is the most powerful person from the Emei Sword Sect, then, hehe, just run when you see it.

Xiao Longzi seemed to be cleared up by Li Feng's words, he unconsciously flipped the scroll in his hand, and said softly: "If you want to say that there is a difference between this, it is not big. The Sword Sect practices swords, but they also refine Qi and cultivate Yuan Shen Yuan Infant, although our Yiyuan Sect is based on Qi, isn't it also cultivating various magic weapons flying swords? But the focus is different. ”

After pondering for a while, Xiao Longzi slowly said: "If you want to say that in ancient times, for example, five or six thousand years ago, the good and evil factions fought each other, which led to the three thousand princes crusading against the king of Xuan, and all the cultivators called themselves 'qi refiners'. Qi, the beginning of heaven and earth, the source of thousands of creatures, so refining qi is authentic. ”

"However, since that battle, some cultivation techniques have been lost, and many sect monks have found that after having magic weapons, they can improve their attack power, so for a period of time, sword skills prevailed, and sword sects were numerous. In the Tang Dynasty, the strength of the Sword Sect was unrivaled in the world. Among them, the Qinglian Sword Immortal Taibai lay the praises of 'killing one person in ten steps, and leaving no line for a thousand miles'. ”

Li Feng stuck out his tongue and exclaimed: "What a braggart guy, damn it, kill him like this, what kind of dynasty of the Tang Dynasty, how many people let him kill?"

Xiao Longzi laughed: "Hehe, it's just a metaphor." If any sword immortal really killed indiscriminately, he would have been attacked by the whole world a long time ago. However, it is not difficult for a sword immortal who has cultivated to the top of the sword, and if he goes down with all his strength, he will become a powder within a radius of ten miles. It's just a thousand miles, and it's just a hundred strokes of the sword with all your might, which is not bragging. ”

Xiao Longzi looked at the moon in the sky, frowned and thought for a long time, and then said: "However, the flaw of the Sword Immortal is that he uses the sword to enter the Dao, so the speed of cultivation is too fast. As long as you find an ancient divine weapon, you can immediately have the power that a Qi Refiner can only achieve in three or four hundred years. Therefore, it is easy to be buoyant and unstable, and either go mad and fall into the devil, or be seduced by the evil demon and fall into the path of yin and evil, which is also a common thing...... Apprentice, tell me about yourself, if you can get powerful mana in just a few days, will you still honestly cultivate by yourself?"

Li Feng crooked his mouth and thought for a long time, and said simply: "No, if I were given a magic weapon such as 'Xuanyuan Sword', 'Pangu Axe', 'Kyushu Ding', 'Nuwa Furnace', then I would have been the emperor a long time ago...... Hey, what are you hitting me for?"

Xiao Longzi was so angry that he trembled, and raised his hand to Li Feng's head and slapped him twice: "Nonsense, nonsense, where can those legendary Kyushu artifacts be controlled by manpower...... I'm going to beat you up like a bastard who dreams all day long. Remember, you are not allowed to think about these things in the future, thinking about dropping magic weapons from the sky all day long to cheapen yourself, where do you still have the heart to cultivate?"

Xiao Longzi's eyes almost popped out of his sockets, and he could see that there was a trace of blood flashing in it, which was angry. After a long while, Li Feng finally closed his mouth easily, and then he spat out a rough breath, and said helplessly: "As for other people who refine the outer pill, collect yin to supplement yang or collect yang to supplement yin, and there are also portals that exorcise ghosts, catch evil spirits, refine red mercury, and swallow women's milk, that is the crooked goods of the evil sect, and the master is too lazy to say here that the air in Qingyunping has been polluted for no reason." ”

Li Feng's eyes were bright, he stood up nervously, approached Xiao Longzi, and asked with a silver smile: "Master, don't introduce other evil sects, what kind of method of picking yin to supplement yang or picking yang to supplement yin, master, will you tell me in detail?" ”

Xiao Longzi's face suddenly turned red, his eyes were full of blood, his neck was as thick as a buffalo, his throat let out a series of strange 'clucking' sounds, his chest rose and fell sharply like a bellows, and he almost rolled back into his lungs and suffocated to death in one breath. Finally, Xiao Longzi jumped up like thunder, and scolded after a hundred years of hard work: "Fuck, you bastard boy sit down for Dao Ye, listen to Dao Ye and I will talk to you honestly, and then dare to ask some nonsense things, Dao Ye I will split you alive." ”

Li Feng shuddered and sat back on the bench honestly. At this moment, where does Xiao Longzi seem to be a Taoist Quanzhen? On the contrary, it is like a tiger boss who has not collected all the protection money and is angry, and even the tone is the same: "No matter how dare you be, Lao Tzu, I will split you alive." ”
