Chapter 34: The Sun and the Moon
"Ahh I saw thousands of miles of mountains and rivers like a dragon wandering away, and there was no end in sight, and the ascetic was carrying him all the way from the back of this dragon, and at this time, where they were standing, it was the high-spirited dragon head!
One can imagine how difficult this journey was, Lu Zheng looked back at the ascetic, and his eyes were filled with tears. The ascetic monk's robe was blown up by the wind, which made Lu Zheng's heart broken, and said: "Great monk, it's really hard ......for you" Speaking of this, but he didn't know how to say it, his personality was introverted, not as good as Tang Xiaojiu's ability to speak, but at this time, he really felt, although it was just a few words, it was also full of gratitude to this ascetic in his heart.
The ascetic clasped his hands together, recited the Buddha's name, and said, "Little brother, you only saw the way you came, you might as well look over there." He said and pointed out.
Lu Zheng followed his finger to look, but he saw nothing, he didn't know what the ascetic wanted to see for himself, and was about to ask, when suddenly the ascetic stretched out his hand and closed it at the center of his eyebrows, and said at the same time: "Okay, you can look at it now!"
Lu Zheng opened his eyes and saw that in front of the Two Realms Mountain, there was a plain, reckless, vast and vast, and he couldn't see the end at all. The plains are dotted with a lot of wandering mist, like galloping wild horses, and there are occasional black and blue dots, and some forest lakes in the distance. Just in this huge plain, starting from a few thatched huts at the foot of the Two Realms Mountain, there is a slender black line that continues to stretch across the plain, until it is out of sight, neatly dividing this 10,000-mile plain into two.
This black line is the fence planted by a generation of strange people and holy sects thousands of years ago with peerless magical power. Looking so far away, you can only see a black line.
At this time, the dervish pointed to the black line and said, "This is the fence, mortals cannot see it with the naked eye, this side of the fence is the human world, and the other side of the fence is the cultivation world! This fence is the boundary of immortals!"
Lu Zheng tried to look at the black line, but it seemed to be disturbed by some kind of interference, whether it was near or far away, it was a vague black line. When he looked at the vast plain from afar just now, it was difficult to see the end of the plain, but he could see every grass and tree very clearly, and the little magic power was activated again. Such a spectacular scene has made him stunned,
Lu Zhengdao: "Great monk, I can't see clearly, how long is this fence?"
The ascetic said, "The poor monk doesn't know!"
Lu Zheng was surprised: "The great monk doesn't know either!"
The dervish said, "Because in front of the fence, wherever you go, it stretches out, and you can't go around it." ”
Where to go, where to go? Could it be that this fence is alive, and Lu Zheng stared hard at the fence again. The dervish said on the side: "This fence was planted by the Holy Sect, and it carries unparalleled mana, which is not something you can see clearly. "It turns out that the fence carries the magic power of the Holy Sect, and it has not dispersed for thousands of years, and Lu Zheng is a little shocked. The ascetic pointed to the grass hut on the edge of the black line again, and said, "Look, little donor, that is the Sun and Moon Grass House!"
Lu Zheng looked over as he said.
This is the first time Lu Zheng has seen the Sun Moon Cottage in his life, compared to the vague and mysterious black line of the fence, this Grass House does not make people see anything unusual, Lu Zheng saw the Sun Moon Cottage, and the first thought in his heart was that the Sun Moon House was not just a thatched house as he imagined, but a whole area of several thatched houses!
At the foot of the Two Realms Mountain, about a mile or two away from the high cliff where the two of them stood, at the beginning of the black-lined fence, there were several thatched huts, forming a courtyard. Lu Zheng stood on the top of the hill and looked down, and could see the whole picture of this courtyard, which was a large square courtyard, with a total of five thatched houses and four thatched pavilions.
The central grid of the Nine Palaces is a two-story wooden building, from a distance, this wooden building is made all boxy, but the roof is flat and round, there is no ridge like an ordinary house, and the top is just a neatly covered circle of thatch, forming a shape of the upper circle and the lower one. The wall facing the sight of the two of them, with many doors and windows on it, are all edged with bamboo, which is very delicately made. The perimeter of the wooden building is surrounded by a circle of pools, making the wooden building look like an isolated island built in the water. A total of four wooden bridges have been built over the pond for people to enter and exit.
The four corners of the Nine Palaces are four large houses, also wooden buildings, which are also covered with thatch, but with a roof ridge, which is different from the wooden building in the center, and the four large houses are connected by a corridor between them, and it is this corridor that forms the huge square. The middle point of the four enclosures is the four pavilions. Whether it is a corridor or a pavilion, it is accessible on all sides, and you can enter and exit directly, so there is no wall in this small courtyard. The roof of the pavilion is also covered with thatch like the house, and you can see the sun and the moon in the sky when you look up, no wonder this place is called the sun and moon grass house.
In addition, the yard is also dotted with a lot of flowers and trees, at this time it is the depth of spring, from a distance, the yard is full of purple and red, very beautiful.
The house is like this, it naturally seems very strange, especially the wooden building in the middle, surrounded by water on all sides, must be entered and exited through the wooden bridge, and there are four wooden bridges, is this wooden building open on all sides?
Lu Zheng couldn't help but wonder, and judging from the wall that Lu Zheng could see, except for the one in the middle, there were four windows on the left and right sides of the door, so that there were eight windows on one wall, which means that all of them added up, this wooden building had four doors and thirty-two windows!
The dervish pointed to the wooden building and said, "The wooden building in the middle and below the circle is called the Heavenly Circle Pavilion." The four houses in the four corners are called the Four Seasons House, and they are called Planting Spring, Long Summer, Autumn, and Tibetan Winter. The four pavilions, the east one is called Quzhi Pavilion, the south one is called Yanshang Pavilion, the west one is called Congge Pavilion, and the north one is called Runxia Pavilion. ”
Lu Zheng looked at it for a long time, and the houses in this courtyard were far from his usual houses. The four big houses are okay, especially the wooden building in the middle and the windy corridors on all sides, no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel cold, and it took a long time to say: "Great monk, these rooms are so ventilated, it seems that the owner of this house must like to be cool, but I am afraid that it will be very cold in winter!"
At this moment, a fresh breeze suddenly appeared, and a peaceful voice came from the ears of the two: "I am happy to have friends from afar!"
The voice reached the ears of the two of them in the breeze, as if someone were talking beside them. Lu Zheng was startled, he didn't see anyone around him, remembering that the ascetic monk was talking to the old man of the Shanshui Sword Sect at the foot of the mountain in the Two Realms Mountain, he was using supernatural powers, could it be that someone talked to them in the same way?
The dervish smiled, folded his hands, and replied respectfully: "Sir, don't come to harm's way, have you always been less troubled?"
The voice was filled with sincere joy, and said: "Troubles raise Bodhi, troubles are Bodhi, where is life not calm!
As the words "please use tea" sounded, Lu Zheng only felt that it was dark and bright in front of him, and when he looked again, the surrounding scenery had changed, and he was already in a very bright wooden house in the blink of an eye. Directly in front of him, a man in white leaned against the desk and stared at him, wearing a white robe, with an indescribable softness and closeness in his eyes. From time to time there was a breeze blowing the light veil on the pillars of the house, and the man looked like a hermit dwelling in idleness, but with a noble temperament, like an emperor in the hall.
Lu Zheng had never seen such a character, he only felt that he was different from the people he had seen before, but what was the difference, what was the difference, but he couldn't say it, he quickly retracted his gaze after a few glances, and said in his heart: "This person is like a god in the sky!"
"Little donor, this is Mr. Le, come and salute. The dervishes on the side said.
It turned out that he was the Le Zhongping mentioned by the ascetic, that is, the person who wanted to treat him for poison. So at this moment, I should be in the grass hut I just saw, but how did I get in?
Lu Zheng subconsciously turned his head to look for the dervishe, and then saw that the ascetic was already sitting on the left side of the man, and there was also a small dark desk in front of him, and there was a teacup on it, which was steaming. Neither he nor Mr. Le sat on a chair, but directly on a straw mat. The difference was that the dervishes sat cross-legged, but Mr. Le was leaning on the desk, with one leg outstretched.
Lu Zheng's first reaction was not to salute Mr. Le, but trotted to the dervishe, sat down next to the dervishe, and lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Mr. Le. His actions were like a child who was taken out by his elders to meet the guests, hiding behind his elders because he was afraid of life.
The dervish didn't expect Lu Zheng to have such a move, and after being stunned, he apologized to Mr. Le's namaste: "This son is rude, and I hope Mr. Le won't be surprised." ”
The corners of Mr. Le's mouth raised slightly, and he smiled, obviously not caring, and took a sip of the teacup in front of him. The dervish followed his movements and drank the teacup, which was then placed on the table almost simultaneously. Lu Zheng can see clearly that the teacup here is also like a bamboo tube, but it looks moist and translucent, and he doesn't know what kind of bamboo it is made of.
Then, the two drank tea a few more times, and their movements were very soft and quiet, except for the two words that the man had just heard on the mountain, and the ascetic said two words after entering the room, neither of them spoke or talked, but they drank a sip of tea together every once in a while, and then put down the teacup at the same time and smiled, which seemed to be extremely tacit.
Lu Zheng looked strange, but he was gradually not as nervous as he was at the beginning, and began to look around.
The room was empty, and there was no other furnishings, and sure enough, as I saw on the mountain, the doors were opened on all sides, and there were eight windows on each of the four walls.
