Chapter 175 asked
When I walked to the vegetable field where the sweet potatoes were grown, I found that the sweet potatoes did not grow as I had imagined. The land on this mountain is barren, and the trees are not growing, let alone this more delicate crop? But this pile of sweet potatoes planted by Zhao Daochang is very dense.
I glanced back at Zhao Daochang, and Zhao Daochang smiled and said, "Although it is a small road, it can also play a role sometimes." ”
Zhao Daochang didn't care about my eyes, smiled heartily, and tore off the sweet potato vine and threw it into the bushes, and then began to dig sweet potatoes with a hoe. Only three or four dustpans were dug wide, and two dustpans were already filled.
"Little Daoyou, why don't you clean these sweet potatoes. The little water in the Taoist temple is not enough to wash these sweet potatoes. "Daoist Zhao is going to test my Taoism.
I didn't care, I condensed a vitality water charm in my hand, and activated it directly on the sweet potato, and the sweet potato was immediately washed clean by water, which was much cleaner than ordinary people washing by hand. The method of washing the water produced by the vitality charm is naturally different from that of ordinary people. Vitality water can wash away dust, and naturally all the dust on the sweet potatoes is clean, which is the ability of cultivators. The sweet potatoes washed in this way did not hurt the sweet potato skin at all. It looks like the sweet potato didn't grow in the soil.
"Little Daoyou's rain technique is indeed exquisite. In Zhao Daochang praised.
I don't know how other people's cultivators use Taoism, so naturally I don't know whether Daoist Zhao is praising or encouraging.
Daochang Zhao handed me the hoe, and he picked up the load of sweet potatoes and walked to the Taoist temple. This load of sweet potatoes is more than 100 catties, plus those rice noodles, but it is enough for one of our classes to eat a full meal.
"Why is the Taoist in this mountain alone?" I asked, a little puzzled.
"Everyone has their own way. In the deep mountains and wilderness is the road, and in the bustling city is also the road. The old way has been in this Zhangren Mountain for more than 100 years. It's not just here that monasticism is the way. Cultivators are lonely, and although they eat the fireworks of the world, their relatives leave one by one, alone, and sometimes they will doubt their own way. Slowly I realized that there are benefits in the deep mountains as well as in the deep mountains. Xiao Daoyou's relatives are still there. But these things are for you to cut off. Alas!" Zhao Dao let out a long sigh.
Zhao Daochang's words, I heard it a little foggy. seems to understand, but it still seems to be ignorant.
"Let's go, I'm afraid you classmates are in a hurry. Zhao Daochang said with a smile.
Back at the Taoist temple, Meng Xudong had already led the class to cook the rice, and with some special foods brought from the mountain, he ate it. I was seen walking into the Taoist temple with the Taoist chief. Meng Xudong was a little embarrassed.
"Dao Chief, Huang Jingyang, two hard work. They're all hungry, so. Let them eat a little to fill their stomachs first. "Meng Xudong saw that we dug a load of sweet potatoes and came back, but they didn't wait to eat them first, worried that we had opinions.
"It's fine. Eat first, eat first. There is no big pot in the Taoist temple, and even if we come back, we can only eat in batches. It is better for you to eat first. "Zhao Daochang lives alone in the mountains, and he doesn't feed poultry and livestock, so naturally there is no big pot. There is only a little rice noodles left. It was all eaten up by our classmates. Now the only thing that can be used to satisfy hunger is these sweet potatoes in the dustpan.
If the sweet potatoes are to be cooked, the pots in the Taoist temple are not enough. But this is not difficult for Zhao Daochang. Fill the open space outside the Taoist temple with a layer of plant ash, then spread the sweet potatoes on it, and then light a fire on it, and roast the sweet potatoes buried in the plant ashes directly. However, I can see that the real roasting of sweet potatoes is not exactly the fire burning on it, but when Zhao Daochang is burning the fire. Secretly cast a fire spell. Sure enough, his Dao and Fire Techniques are different from mine. As he performed the fire spell, I could clearly see that his mouth was constantly moving, as if he was silently reciting something. Then I saw a regular fluctuation in the vitality between heaven and earth. A kind of vitality suddenly gathered in the campfire.
After Zhao Daochang cast the spell, he smiled at me. Today's events were really funny. The two of us cultivators actually used the Taoist technique to wash sweet potatoes and bake sweet potatoes. If only the other monks knew. I'm afraid I'll laugh too.
But the sweet potatoes roasted in this technique are really amazing. All the sweet potatoes are thoroughly roasted inside and out, but there is no baked sweet potato skin, and when the sweet potato skin is peeled off, the aroma of sweet potatoes suddenly wafts into the air, and the aroma suddenly detonates the taste buds. The boys and girls in the class scrambled for sweet potatoes as if they hadn't had enough to eat for days. Of course, unfortunately after eating sweet potatoes. Sequelae after eating sweet potatoes.
I finally met someone in the same way, whether it was me or Zhao Daochang, we were very excited. I can't believe that Zhao Daochang is more than a hundred years old.
"Strictly speaking, I'm one hundred and thirty-nine years old. I was born in the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Dezong of Guangxu for three years. Zhao Daochang told his real age.
"Wow, you've spanned two centuries. Have you ever met other monks before?"
"Absolutely. Many people older than me are still alive today. But they are also like me, they are all hiding in the mountains and old forests. It is very difficult for ordinary people to see them. Zhao Daochang said.
"And do you still have contact with them?" I asked.
Zhao Daochang shook his head: "I am not from the same sect as them, it was not as convenient as it is now, with a phone in my hand, I can talk to people thousands of miles away." ”
"Isn't there a transmission note?" I asked.
"What is the transmission note?" Daoist Zhao thought it was some kind of unfathomable Dao technique.
"There's no Taoist technique for thousands of miles of sound transmission?" I scratched my head.
"Nope. How could there be. Unless you reach the realm of fugue, you may be able to reach thousands of miles away. With my current out-of-body period of cultivation, it is extremely difficult for the Yuan Shen to reach a few miles away. Daochang Zhao shook his head.
It turned out that although Zhao Daochang had a teacher, he was also a casual cultivator, and Zhao Daochang also broke through to the realm of out-of-body by chance.
"Why are there fewer cultivators now, is it really the end of the Dharma era?" I asked a question that I had been wondering about for a long time. On my sister's computer, I once saw someone say that she was now the last generation of monasticism.
"Hehe, I don't know if the end of the law is not the end of the law, I only know that the important thing in cultivating the Tao is not the vitality of heaven and earth, nor the Tao law, but the human heart. Now in this era, people have a lot of desires, and the Dao heart has nowhere to be born. It is also appropriate to say that it is the end of the law. Zhao Daochang's eyes looked at the rolling mountains in the night.
Daochang Zhao took out something from his body and handed it to me.
When I opened it, it was an invitation. Although it was dark, it didn't affect my vision even at night when I couldn't see my fingers.
I took a closer look and saw that the invitation letter read, "Invitation to Taoist Cultural Seminar".
"What did you see?" asked Zhao Daochang.
I didn't understand what Daochang Zhao meant, and shook my head.
Zhao Daochang smiled: "I only saw fame and fortune, but I didn't see the Tao." Now a large number of people are swaggering and deceiving under the guise of Taoism, but where is there a real Taoist priest. ”
I also smiled: "If you really have a Taoist technique, why go out and deceive?"
"What are your plans for the future?" asked Daochang Zhao.
"About?" I was puzzled.
"By the way, you have such cultivation at this age now, how can I estimate what will happen in the future?"
"Daoist, can I come here to find you in the future?" I asked.
Daoist Zhao shook his head: "After a while, a new Taoist temple will be built here." There will be a new Taoist to take care of it. I'm ready to go out on a cloud trip. It's been a long time since I was planning this day. My Dao heart has already sensed the opportunity. If you find this opportunity, you may be able to go further, and if you can't find it, you will find a place where you are inaccessible in the future, and you can rest for a long time. ”
I don't know why, although I have known Zhao Daochang for such a short time, he is like my teacher and friend, which makes me a little difficult to give up.
As if seeing a hint of reluctance in me, Zhao Daochang smiled and said, "Daoist friends are in love." You and I are pursuing the road of eternal life, meeting is parting, parting is meeting. ”
Zhao Daochang suddenly got up and began to box, a set of incomparably mysterious boxing skills were displayed in Zhao Daochang's hands, Zhao Daochang's boxing skills began, he seemed to be integrated with this Zhangren Mountain, the vitality flowed naturally, and heaven, earth and man were integrated.
Zhao Daochang's comprehension of boxing is much deeper than mine. Looking at Zhao Daochang's boxing, my understanding of boxing seems to open a window, and I see a farther realm.
Ginger is old and spicy, and sure enough, it's right. With Daochang Zhao's strength at this time, if I fight with him, I can tell the winner within one move.
Originally, after getting the swordsmanship of the mysterious civilization, I thought that in this world, I should have a difficult opponent. Although this Daoist Zhao is a lot older than me, when it comes to cultivation, I am not too much inferior to him. But as soon as his boxing skills were shown. I knew that the difference in strength between us was huge.
After Zhao Daochang finished a set of punches, he stood quietly in front of me: "This is a trail, but the trail also has a small path." There are too many treacherous people in the world, and it is also useful to have a set of protective boxing skills. You and I are destined, and this set of boxing techniques will be given to you. ”
I hurriedly saluted Daoist Zhao: "Thank you, Daoist." ”
Zhao Daochang laughed: "No need to be polite. It's just a trail. You have to find the road on your own. Although you have planted deep roots from the path and will surely achieve great things in the future, you still have to find your own way. It's something that no one can help with.
