6. Homeland
Xundaozi stood at the entrance of the cave and looked at the scene in front of him, a platform with a radius of 100 zhang in front of him, with a bluestone bottom, quite flat.
Walk to the edge of the platform, raise your eyes and look, there is a rock more than 100 zhang away in front of the right, the rock height does not know how much, the top of the rock is hidden in the clouds and mist, dozens of zhang away from the bottom of the rock, there is a spring that flies out, the spring falls at the bottom of the rock a small pool, the pond is wide and wide, the water splashes everywhere, the sound is like a pearl, there is a glow and rui qi lingering. The green vines and grass on the rocks are thick, and the treasure is shining. The small pool at the bottom of the rock is full and overflowing, overflowing into a stream, the stream is murmuring, and it gathers into a waterhole with a radius of hundreds of zhang in the middle of the valley.
Seeker couldn't help but be attracted by the waterhole, got off the platform, and walked towards the waterhole.
When I came to the edge of the pool, I saw that the pool was deep and secluded like a dream, the mist on the surface of the pool was like a veil like a veil, and there were several clusters of white lotus swaying with the waves in the pool, and the white lotus flowers exuded holy light, which was very dazzling. The stone shore is high and low, white as jade. On the shore of the waterhole, a few bushes of bamboo, verdant and dripping, flashing from time to time. Opposite to the bamboo repair, two weeping willows on the other side of the waterhole are oblique out of the water surface, green as jade, and the mist on the surface of the pool is hidden, dreamy. The waterhole in front of you is picturesque, like a dream and a song, which can make people forget their own existence. Even taking a breath is refreshing.
Walking around the pool, there was no water flowing out. The spring water poured into the pool, but it did not flow out, and the seeker was very strange, but he did not delve into it, and turned to continue to inspect the scene in the valley.
Look down the rock, there is a small hill not far away, several old pines on the hill, or stand, or lie, or up, or lean, the branches are like pythons, the golden bark bursts layer by layer, the trunk of each tree has to be surrounded by several people, on the crown, the pine needles are carved like jasper, a huge pine ball hangs in the treetops, and the bursts of golden light are seen in the distance.
Seeing the huge pine cone, the seeker was overjoyed. In his previous life, Sheng Tian didn't have many hobbies, he didn't have good tobacco and alcohol, he only liked to drink tea, but he used pine nuts to make tea, a few pine nuts, a cup of hot tea, and thought it was a wonderful enjoyment. This time, I was overjoyed to see that this was not an ordinary huge pine cone.
Seeking the joy in his heart, he turned his gaze to the rock wall, and this time, the joy of pressing down turned into a greater surprise and popped out. The mist on the rock wall, where the fluorescence flickered, it was clear that a few strong old tea trees were slanting out of the air, the branches were crystal clear, the young leaves were delicate and verdant, the fairy spirit was ethereal, and the treasure was shining. Xundaozi stared at the tea tree, and couldn't wait to pick a handful immediately, hype it, brew a pot, and take a sip of it.
Xundaozi stared at the tea tree, obviously not noticing that on a huge old stump not far from the tea tree, several Ganoderma lucidum with a grinding plate was swallowing Ruiqi, and the glow was shining, and one of them was milky white, which was even more extraordinary.
Xundaozi finally took his eyes off the tea tree, looked around, and saw that the valley was steaming everywhere, and the glow was shining everywhere, and I don't know how many strange flowers and plants grow here. But when these strange flowers and plants meet an illiterate guy, they can only be hidden in the pearl. The seeker may not know more than one in 10,000 of the plants in this valley.
Full of the jewels, Xundaozi later became numb to it, and his mood was not so excited, and he began to think about how to decorate his home.
Relying on his physical fitness, Xundaozi quickly ran in the valley for a week, and roughly understood the situation in the valley, this valley occupies a hundred miles, and the whole is covered by a congenital maze, not known to the outside world, there are countless exotic flowers and plants in the valley, and there are all kinds of rare and rare fruits all over it, and now they have become their own, and the seeker is so beautiful that his nose is bubbling.
When the seeker returned to the waterhole in the valley, it was getting late, and the stars began to appear on the canopy, but the waterhole was not dim, green bamboo, green willow, and white lotus were competing to bloom brightly, and the pool water was also shining, and the whole waterhole and its surroundings were immersed in a strange light, which was a real dream world.
Xundaozi did not go back to the cave, but picked a flat stone by the waterhole and sat down cross-legged, enjoying this tranquility and happiness, it was indeed happiness, he felt that he was truly happy, lucky and blessed.
Xundaozi sat quietly on the edge of the pond like this, not cultivating, with his eyes slightly closed, with a slight smile on his face.
The night passed quickly, the morning glow reflected the red sky, and Xundaozi sat by the pond all night.
As the sun rises, the clouds in the valley are vibrant, and all kinds of light are flashing.
Seeker took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and opened his eyes. His eyes were extremely bright, without a trace of impurities.
Xundaozi raised his head, looked at the charming scenery in front of him with joy, and thought in his heart that he would build a pavilion by the waterhole, put up a coffee table made of a large tree stump, and then set up a chaise longue, brew a pot of tea, and look up at the clouds in the sky, and look down at the flowers on the ground, listen to the wind passing through the bamboo forest, and smell the fragrance of white lotus. This is beautiful, thinking about it.
As soon as he thought of it, he found a flat place by the pond and used the small spells obtained in the golden light after the catastrophe to tidy it up. Rushed to the edge of the bamboo forest, wanting to cut down the bamboo and build a pavilion, but this time the magic power was not good, these bamboos ignored him at all, and the seeker was dumbfounded.
I could have found other materials to build from the new, but I only looked at this bamboo, this thick bamboo, whether it is to make pillars, or to break and make tiles, or to cut and weave the floor, to build beams, are excellent things, a pavilion made of bamboo, in this green mountains and green waters, think about it is comfortable.
But this bamboo made his magic spell useless, and he didn't have a bamboo cutting tool, so he stared.
In just a few minutes, the seeker turned and hurried towards the cave door.
I saw the seeker enter the cave door, pass through the passage, turn the hall, cross the cloud bed, and enter the fog behind the cloud bed.
Seeker passed through the fog and saw several quiet rooms.
Seeker hurried into one of the ashrams.
The quiet room is not big, just a few zhang square, there is a jade bed, the four walls exude clear light, there are two things hanging on one of the walls, a handle is dusty, the handle is gray and black, and the dust is bright. The other is a long sword with a sheath, the scabbard is simple, and I don't know what it is made of.
Xundaozi walked to the long sword, reached out to take the long sword, pulled out the long sword and looked at it, the sword surface had an inexplicable texture, a little gray feeling, and I couldn't tell if it was sharp. Seeker thrust his sword back into its scabbard, ignored the whisk, and turned to walk briskly outside.
The back few quiet rooms were discovered by the fog behind the cloud bed after he was curious for a while, and he was excited to see the dust and the long sword when he entered here. When I went to whisk the dust in my hand, the whisk once passed a message to let him know that the name of this whisk was "Cleansing the Heart",
There is also a long sword, called "Protecting the Heart". The person who seeks the Tao, because of the difficult road, often has the confusion about the future, or is tempted by foreign objects, shaking the heart of the Tao, but this dust can be like the dust in general, the soul is clarified, the heart is clear, the heart is strong, and the heart of the Tao is not astray from the heart of the Tao, which can be described as the supreme treasure of the person seeking the Tao. The person who seeks the truth, in order to seek the way, often walks in the mountains and rivers, the city and the wilderness, will encounter all kinds of dangers, threatening the life of the seeker, this long sword is the treasure of the guardian when the person seeking the way encounters danger, and the heart of the person seeking the truth is not extinguished, and it is the treasure of the person seeking the truth. These two things are the treasure of the cave of enlightenment, and they are the innate treasures that came into being at the beginning of the opening of the heavens.
It's a pity that although Xundaozi now knows that these two things are treasures, he doesn't know the role of these two treasures.
Xundaozi ran to the edge of the bamboo forest, drew his long sword, threw the scabbard aside, and raised his long sword to cut at a thick bamboo.
Cha!
The bamboo fell in response.
Seeker used his sword to cut off the bamboo branches, dragged the bamboo poles aside, and went to cut down the second one.
In this way, Xundaozi cut a lot of bamboo after a while.
Looking at the cut bamboos, Xundaozi waved his hand and used a magic power to carry them, and those bamboo poles flew to the flat ground with a bang.
Xundaozi rushed to the selected location and began the great cause of building a bamboo pavilion.
When he saw that he could use supernatural spells, he would use supernatural spells, and those who could not use supernatural spells would use the heart sword as a cheap tool, or chop or sharpen, or dig or chisel, and get busy.
I didn't expect him to be quite talented, and it didn't take long for him to put up the shelves of the bamboo pavilion, which looked pretty good.
Two days later, an exquisite bamboo pavilion was built on the edge of the pool.
Xundaozi looked at the fruits of his labor, and was happy for a while.
After looking at it for a while, the seeker turned around and walked briskly outside. Soon he came back carrying a large stump, put the stump in the center of the pavilion, and after a brief trimming, he made a coffee table.
Xundaozi made a recliner out of bamboo and placed it next to the coffee table.
This time I was even more satisfied.
With a wave of his hand, the seeker sent the remnants to an unknown location. Lying on the recliner, I felt that this was still good.
Soon I felt that there was still something missing, and when I thought about it, there was still a pot of tea missing.
The seeker quickly got up, turned and ran to the cave. After a while, he came out with a large piece of crystal white jade, returned to the pavilion and put the jade on the stump, took the long sword, and gestured on the jade. After a while, he used his long sword to cut two pieces of jade an inch thick. I didn't expect this long sword to be so powerful, cutting jade is like cutting tofu. Then he cut the piece of jade into square piers of different sizes. After that, he would use a sword and a magic spell to get busy with those jades.
After a while, two jade plates appeared on the stump, two jade pots, one large and one small, and several jade cups, all of which were crystal clear and transparent, which was lovely. The seeker holds a jade cup in his hand, the jade cup is as warm as fire, this is the best warm jade. Seeker smiled smugly.
Then Xundaozi made several jade boxes, including warm jade and cool jade. He remembered that in the legend of his previous life, some heavenly treasures needed to be loaded with jade so that they would not lose their effectiveness. Whether you need it or not, prepare a few, maybe one day you go out, hit the luck, and get the legendary treasure, but there is nothing to hold, it will be a tragedy. Although even if there is a treasure in front of him now, he doesn't know. For example, there are many natural treasures in the eyes of experts in this valley, but he doesn't know them. can't stop his desire to obtain the treasure of heaven and earth.
After a busy time, Xundaozi pondered what was missing: a kettle for boiling water, a casserole for roasting tea, a stove, a tea tube for tea, a tea spoon and other utensils. It's been another busy, and the equipment is ready.
Seeking the way is not delayed, quickly ran to the rock wall where there are tea trees, climbed the hanging rock with far more than ordinary people's athletic hands, carefully picked a large handful of the young leaves on the largest tea tree, put them in a bamboo tube, put them in his arms, got down to the rock, and ran to the old pine, climbed the pine, picked a few of the largest pine cones, and ran all the way back to the bamboo pavilion.
Make a fire and stir-fry the tea. I don't know much about stir-fried tea, but I just know a little, but I can't stand his enthusiasm, and I am in a hurry, but I still fry the tea.
Xundaozi first caught a handful and put it in a jade pot, and divided the rest of the tea into two parts, one into a tea tube made of bamboo tubes, and one into a jade box.
Using a magical power, he drew a pot of water and boiled it on the stove, and then turned around to process the pine cones. With the help of supernatural spells, a grain of pine nuts fell into the jade plate, a little larger than peanuts, crystal clear, shining bright, not comparable to ordinary things.
The water is boiling, the seeker is impatient to make tea, pour a small cup, hold it in his hand, and sniff it near his nose, fragrant, it is really fragrant!
Pour it into your mouth, close your eyes, swallow it slowly, your mouth is full of relish, your teeth and cheeks are fragrant, the aftertaste is endless, and it is like rising clouds. Immediately, the mind cleared and the eyes cleared, the world seemed to have no secrets in one's own mind, and everything seemed to be running in front of him. It's an indescribable feeling.
After half a ring, the seeker came back to his senses, let out a long breath, and said, "This is home!"
