Chapter 7 The Taste

A flash of light flashed in front of him, and then the whole world went dark.

Heaven and earth were constantly spinning and spinning, and beneath him was an endless abyss, endless darkness. And he trembled and feared at the edge of the abyss, and suddenly his whole body could no longer hold it, and rolled down. A huge force hit the heart, tearing frantically and shattering.

Seeing that the room in the darkness in front of him had become so spacious, the small table and chair next to the bed seemed to be much farther away from him than during the day, and the moonlight shone obliquely through the small window on the open space in front of the bed. A little pale, a little panic.

Lin Wanqiu originally wanted Lin Zhongyu to sleep with her, even if it was next door. But Su Chenghai insisted on putting Lin Zhongyu in the room in the west corner of this worry-free small building, and except for the third senior sister Ouyang Furong who accompanied Sophie to live in another garden, Su Chenghai and his wife lived on the second floor of Xiaozhu, and Lin Zhongyu's senior brother, second senior brother, and fourth senior brother, all lived on the east side of Xiaozhu. Lin Zhongyu wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

Go to the door and strain your little hands!

The door opened.

The white moonlight came to his face, causing Lin Zhongyu to squint his eyes slightly, and then slowly adapted. In front of you are hundreds of stone steps. Further afield is a wide square, with the faint sound of water. Lin Zhongyu laboriously stepped out of the high threshold, took a few steps, picked up a stone staircase and sat down.

He put his hands on his cheeks and stared at the night as cool as water. I saw that in the deep blue night sky, the moon wheel hung far away in the sky, there were no stars and no clouds. There is only a black hill like a sword (that is the Sword Mother Peak, Shi Niang said it), hanging quietly on the side. From time to time, there are one or two gentle chirping of insects (Note 1) from the low hills on both sides, reminding them of the depth of the night. A little dazed, a little lonely.

Lin Zhongyu's big eyes stared at the high moon, and for some reason he remembered a few fragmentary songs, and sang silently in his heart:

"Ah, the moon!

Hanging in the blue sky in the distance.

Isn't it?

You don't have a mother either!

Just like me!"

Sitting quietly on the steps, the tears in the corners of Lin Zhongyu's eyes were so natural, so light.

There is a feeling called missing,

There is an emotion called homesickness.

But who are you missing?

Where is your home?

One person, two lines of tears, the whole world!

Either tired of crying, or tired of thinking, Lin Zhongyu finally went back to the room and fell asleep.

It's just that as soon as I fell asleep, I felt a chill on my body. When he opened his eyes, the dazzling light made Lin Zhongyu unable to open his eyes for a while. But he heard Lin Wanqiu's voice and said, "Hurry up little lazy worm! or your master will punish you!"

Lin Zhongyu hurriedly opened his eyes, only to see Lin Wanqiuzi holding his quilt in his hand, facing him with a gentle smile. A warm current passed through his heart, and Lin Zhongyu replied deeply: "Yes, Master." Then I got dressed and got out of bed. As soon as he walked to the table, he saw Lin Wanqiu come over with a basin of hot water, put the towel in the water and scrubbed it a few times, squatted in front of Lin Zhongyu, and took his little hand to scrub it seriously.

At this time, Lin Wanqiu wiped Lin Zhongyu's face, and the towel was slightly hot with wisps of fragrance. Lin Zhongyu's nose couldn't help but be sour, and he almost cried.

This woman in front of you, this beautiful woman.

There is a hint of affection, and a little sour is gently crossed.

After cleaning up, Lin Wanqiu took Lin Zhongyu's little hand and walked out of the door.

The sun shines obliquely, but because the sun is still low, the stone steps and the plaza are covered with the shadows of the large low hills and small trees in the east, which makes people feel cool.

I heard a shouting from afar, but I saw a few figures in the square tossing and jumping, and there were a few colors of light shuttling through it. Among them, a fiery red glow occupied half of the square, and several other people all shy away from it. Lin Wanqiu saw Lin Zhongyu frowning and asked, "Yu'er, what's wrong with you?"

"No, it's nothing, the teacher" Although he said this, Lin Zhongyu's face became more and more difficult to look at.

Looking at the light in the field, it seemed to have appeared in a dream countless times, as if there was also a figure with a blurred face, blood gurgling down, but the corners of his mouth were slightly smiling. How could Lin Zhongyu not feel a pain in his heart, and a few beads of sweat faintly fell down his forehead. And everyone in the audience saw Lin Wanqiu and Lin Zhongyu coming and stabilized their figures. Take a closer look at the road relics, Fang Cun'an, Liang Ercong. On the other side was Ouyang Furong, and the red light that dominated half of the square just now was her.

Lin Wanqiu walked up to Ouyang Furong and smiled, "Xiao Rong's kung fu has improved again. How heavy is it to sit and forget the Heavenly Dao and cultivate to the Heaven Viewing Realm?"

Ouyang Furong's face turned red, and she said softly: "Master, Rong'er's qualifications are blunt, and she came out of the Sanssouci Cave yesterday to break through the sixth level of the Heaven Viewing Realm" My God, she actually called herself "Rong'er".

Lin Wanqiu smiled.

"Senior sister, the little junior brother is not uncomfortable. It was the eldest disciple Lu Yifeng who looked at Lin Zhongyu and said.

Lin Wanqiu didn't care about it just now, but now when she looked back, she found that there was something wrong with this little apprentice.

I saw Lin Zhongyu's little face pale, and where he was standing made people feel shaky.

Walking in front of Lin Zhongyu, Lin Wanqiu squatted down, pressed her hands on Lin Zhongyu's shoulders and said, "Yu'er, are you sick?"

"Oh, no! no. Shi Niang. I just felt dizzy a little bit just now, but now I'm much better. Thank you for your concern. Seeing Lin Wanqiu's worried look, Lin Zhongyu said busily.

"Huh. Silly boy, let's take a closer look. After that, Lin Wanqiu grabbed Lin Zhongyu's small wrist in her hand, and she didn't find anything abnormal in Lin Zhongyu's body. Seeing Lin Zhongyu's face slowly flushed, he didn't pay much attention to it. only advised: "Yu'er, if you feel uncomfortable again, you must sue Master SΓΉ!"

Lin Zhongyu nodded yes, and then he found that there was no big villain like Su Chenghai in the square, and he was suddenly relieved, so he asked, "Master, why isn't the master here?"

"Your sister Sophie is not feeling well this morning, I went to see it with your master, he is still there"

"It's good that the great villains aren't there. Lin Zhongyu couldn't help but be a little happy when he thought of this, but he thought, "Is my sister very sick?" Thinking of the pretty and gentle Sister Sophie, I was also a little worried in my little heart.

Lin Wanqiu looked at Lin Zhongyu's uncertain little face. thought that Lin Zhongyu missed his master, and said, "Yu'er, don't worry, your master is estimated to be right away! Lin Wanqiu grabbed Lin Zhongyu's little hand, and carefully pointed his finger to show the direction, but she didn't notice that Lin Zhongyu's little face was green.

Su Chenghai came to the square from the stone steps.

"Good morning, Master!" said in unison to the four apprentices present.

Standing on the spot with his hands behind his back, the green robe on Su Chenghai's body swayed in the wind, quite the demeanor of a grandmaster. Seeing the greetings from the disciples, he nodded and said "um". Just as he was about to take a closer look at the cultivation of these disciples, a small voice said, "Master, Master is early. ”

But it was Lin Zhongyu, who had just been by Lin Wanqiu's side, who silently stood beside Lu Yifeng and lowered his cute round head, as if he was afraid of being seen by Su Chenghai.

When Su Chenghai thought about choosing a name last night, he was depressed, "This little idiot!". A light "hum" was a response. Then he looked around, and when he finally saw Ouyang Furong, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he instantly returned to calm.

He said, "Do you know why the teacher asked you to come to this square today?"

Liang Ercong has always been the most clever and smart, and his hands and feet are extremely diligent, as soon as he heard the master's question, he stepped forward and said: "Master, the disciple thinks that the ancestors of the past generations are on top, ahhh After a long wait, it finally fell into the green in front of the square--- which turned out to be a large lake - Chidori Lake. However, there is one more bird in Chidorihu Lake now, and it should be one thousand and one birds.

And Ouyang Furong, who was standing beside him just now, shook the right hand that had just been raised because of throwing a heavy object twice, and made a nice voice: "Master, Rong'er thinks that Master must have something very important, very important, and very important to tell us." So call us here. After speaking, he turned to Fang Cun'an on the side and threw a look that he thought was very charming.

Fang Cun'an suddenly lacked oxygen, and his dark face actually glowed with some brilliance, but because it was too dark, I don't know if it was red light, or some other messy light. I only heard him echo: "Senior sister, what you said is reasonable." What the junior sister said is reasonable. ”

"Nonsense!" Su Chenghai said angrily. This Ouyang Furong and Fang Cun'an talked for a long time as if they didn't say anything, how could they not be angry? Seeing that the master was angry, the disciples quickly straightened up, lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

"Master, the disciple was ordered to go down the mountain to do errands this time. Passing through Mount Shan (Note 2), I saw some righteous people who seemed to be searching for something on the mountain. When the disciples came forward to inquire, they learned that they were only practicing in the world. But when the disciple came back and thought about it, I am afraid that this matter is more than that! Is what the master said related to this?"

"Hmph! Do they really think that everyone else is blind?"

"Master, what do you mean?"

"Legacy, do you know that I am the first in the world, why am I the number one in the world?"

"Of course, that's because I'm a strange Sumen, my strength is beyond the world, and the world admires me. "The road remains the wind road.

"Really, do you really think so?"

"Master, I"

"No. 1 in the world, No. 1 in the world?" who would really think that?" Su Chenghaifu sighed again.

"Master. The ancestors of the past generations are above, and the disciples swear, I think so. But Liang Ercong, who climbed into the square at some point, replied very obediently.

"Get out of !!" Su Chenghai stroked the sleeves of his robe.

Liang Ercong's thin and delicate figure crossed a beautiful arc in the sky, and then "poof!" began the second intimate contact with Chidori Lake.

Before sinking, I only heard Liang Ercong shouting hysterically: "Why is it always my ancestor who is injured in the master, you are partial!"

Su Chenghai walked in front of Lin Wanqiu, looked at Lin Zhongyu again, and said behind him: "Legacy, in the past few days, your sister and I have been on the order of your master and uncle to go to the East China Sea. Yu'er is still young, and Fei'er will teach him some words during the day, and you will teach me this introductory method at night. ”

"Yes, Master!" replied Lu Yifeng.

Lin Wanqiu touched Lin Zhongyu's head and handed him over to Lu Yifeng.

I saw Su Lin and the others, with a finger leading, a green and a red light under their feet, and they rode away in the wind. The dazzling brilliance made Lin Zhongyu's heart ache faintly, but his eyes were still fixed on Lin Wanqiu's distant figure. Wherever Su Lin and the others went, the clouds and mist were surging and retreating at first, and then they gathered from all directions, drowning their figures, and finally disappeared. Lin Zhongyu withdrew his reluctant eyes.

"Little junior brother, my sister is gone, and I won't be back until a few days. I'll take you to the little junior sister," Lu Yifeng said.

Lin Zhongyu let out an "oh", and followed the road to the wind in the direction of Xiaozhu.

Suddenly, a shadow fell in front of him, and Lin Zhongyu looked up and let out a scream of "ghost".

I saw a big face high above my head, hanging in the air, and there was a huge mouth on that face, with white teeth, which was very terrifying. But this big mouth made a beautiful voice that touched people's hearts: "Little junior brother, call a senior sister to listen." ”

Lin Zhongyu's small hand grasped Lu Yifeng's big hand, and said tremblingly: "Third --- third ---- third senior sister!"

"Well, yes, yes! Call another sister to listen!" Ouyang Furong bared her big teeth and made a vicious appearance. Lu Yifeng couldn't help but laugh secretly beside him, this junior sister is so stubborn!

Lin Zhongyu trembled, his hands and feet were cold, and his voice came out with a crying voice: "---- Furong ----- ------- Sister Furong is so !!!"

"Uh-huh! good!good!" Ouyang Furong shook her head twice in satisfaction after hearing this, and then turned away. Lin Zhongyu only felt that when this senior sister walked, the ground trembled for a while.

Lu Yifeng took Lin Zhongyu across the Guanfeng Bridge, passed through the two gates, and entered the other garden. Turn to the right and see a small courtyard in front of you. An ancient tree rises to the sky, with four stone drums under the tree and three huts behind it. Lin Zhongyu looked at this small courtyard a little familiar. Lu Yifeng looked at Lin Zhongyu's eyes with a little surprise, and said, "Does the little junior brother feel familiar? I heard the fourth junior brother say that you were just rescued and put here by the third junior sister." It seems that you remember. ”

When Lin Zhongyu heard that this was actually the residence of the third senior sister, his heart surged with qi and blood, and he almost squirted out.

"Hehe, don't be afraid, most of the three junior sisters are in the Sanssouci Cave to comprehend the Xuangong of the main sect, even if they come back, most of them will go to accompany the little junior sister. Besides, there are three rooms here, even if the junior sister comes back in those days, you don't have to be afraid. Lu Yifeng said.

But I saw that there was another door on the east side of the courtyard, and when I gently pushed it open, a burst of fragrance came to my face. Since entering the garden, there has been a faint aroma, and when I arrived in this small courtyard, the aroma was several times stronger, and I think the fragrance was emitted from here. In front of me were a number of huts made of green bamboo, long in a row, and the courtyard was full of purple mandala flowers, and only a small green grass path in the middle led to the door of the hut.

After Lu Yifeng pushed open the door of the small courtyard, it had already stopped. Lin Zhongyu turned around and asked, "Senior brother, why don't you leave." ”

Lu Yifeng said with a smile: "Little junior brother, this is the junior sister's boudoir, and it is also a place to nourish the mind and adjust the body. It's inconvenient for senior brother to go in, so you can go up and knock on the door yourself. Senior brother will come to pick you up in the evening. Then he turned and left.

Lin Zhongyu nodded yes. Smelling these light floral fragrances, Lin Zhongyu felt indescribably comfortable. He crept to the door, lest he step on the flowers on the side of the path.

"Senior sister, senior sister!" Lin Zhongyu clasped the door and shouted.

"Squeak!" The door opened. Sophie, dressed in white, saw Lin Zhongyu coming. A smile appeared on her beautiful face: "Little junior brother, are you here?"

"Well, senior sister. Master called me," he said, pouting.

Sophie looked at Lin Zhongyu, her round little face and big eyes flashed with great loveliness. But for some reason, his parents said that his qualifications were not very good.

When it comes to qualifications, this is inevitably inferior just by looking at the appearance. Even though Sophie is well-read in the world, but because she can't practice Taoism, her eyes can't see through the nuances of the human body at all, let alone the so-called aura of the Dao Bone Immortal Body.

Lin Zhongyu followed Sophie into the door and couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, only to see that Sophie's boudoir was almost filled with bookshelves. On the walls, there are scrolls of calligraphy, figures, flowers and birds, landscapes and other scrolls, and the thick fragrance of ink wafts around.

There are probably no more than a dozen green bamboo huts, but Lin Zhongyu walked through these rooms as if he had seen an exhibition of books, calligraphy, and paintings, and there was no repetition from the beginning to the end.

And Lin Zhongyu also began to read and write in this environment. He also knew what he had just heard from Shi Niang what he had been talking about Sitting and Forgetting Heaven was.

Sitting on the Heavenly Dao is a magnificent thaumaturgy practiced by the Qitian Sumen lineage. Legend has it that the first patriarch was just a down-and-out scholar, depressed, at the age of thirty-two, he vowed not to take the test again, so he traveled through the famous mountains and rivers of Yuehuang, and when he passed through Mount Taihua (Note 3), it was difficult to walk in the rain, and he found a small hole to shelter from the rain, but he saw a glimmer of light jumping in the depths of the small hole, and when he wanted to approach, he found that the glimmer flew forward when he saw him coming, as if to lead him forward.

After several twists and turns, even the first patriarch didn't know where he was in the mountains at this moment, and he could only hear the sound of faint water getting closer and closer. At the end of the road, I suddenly turned around, only to hear the sound of the water, and there was a small pool not far away. At the height of the cave roof above the small pool, the bead curtain of water was poured down, and the glimmer of light disappeared in an instant. The first patriarch couldn't help but be surprised when he approached it, and saw that the small pond was ten zhang big and a foot deep, and how could there be a drop of water in it? But the sound of the water was dingdong, crisp and pleasant, and he had to believe it. When I looked up, I saw that there was a water source above this, and it was just a patio-like hole that led straight to the blue sky. I saw a moon wheel shining in the sky, countless moonlight like silk like wisps pouring down in the small pool below, listening carefully to the sound of the water or sometimes some children laughing and scolding, or there are iron horseshoe sounds, Buddhist chanting, men, women and children crying, tiger roaring ape crying, phoenix chanting insects, wind and rain, in short, all kinds of noise in the world, there are many. Finally, the sound of water sounded like Huang Zhong Da Lu knocked on his ears, and the golden light flashed in the mind of the first patriarch, and then he smiled, slowly stepped into the pool and sat down, and raised his head slightly. I saw that his body was white and his face was peaceful. There were countless talismans flashing out of thin air around him, revolving around him. The moonlight flowed quietly like water in the eyes of the first patriarch who gazed upward, and bursts of white light overflowed from his eyes, and fell into the pool like mercury. Finally, the sound of the water converged into a boundless Taoist song, which was sung in this small hole.

In the blink of an eye, nine days and nine nights passed, the sound of water gradually subsided, and the brilliance faded. And the moon ring on the top of the cave has long receded, and the eyes of the first patriarch have closed at some point. I don't know how long it took, the first patriarch opened his eyes, his divine light was like electricity, and there were bursts of immortal qi on his body, obviously he had attained the Tao. When he got up and wanted to leave, he found the little pool of water that had enlightened him, and he would not leave. The first patriarch smiled slightly, and used his supernatural power to collect this entire small hole in his sleeve.

Taihua Mountain, at that time, was on the seaside of Wuyu, at the foot of Qitiansu Mountain. Outside the mountain, the first patriarch raised his eyes and saw the Qitiansu Mountain above the sky, and couldn't help but smile and rode the wind. This time he opened up a 10,000-year-old ancient school, and the small pool was also moved by him into the back mountain of Qitian Su Hengtian Peak and was named Phantom Wave Pool. And the Taihua Mountain behind him collapsed and annihilated overnight.
