Chapter 160: Going down the mountain is the world (thanks to the leader of "Chu Ru Smile")
"Second junior brother, bring more spiritual plants and natural treasures from the mountains. After you go down the mountain, there will be no place as good as Mount Yi." The senior brother said to the second senior brother, "If you don't have enough, come back and pick it up."
"must!"
The second senior brother brought the most things. In addition to luggage, parcels, spiritual treasures, a smaller alchemy furnace, some elixir bottles and a guqin.
"Third Junior Brother, don't be too dissolute. You need to exercise restraint when drinking and acting. The world is dangerous, and you haven't become an immortal. If you have Taoism and know magic, you will be infallible." The senior brother said to the third senior brother again.
"I know what I know, so don't be verbose!"
"If you really want to travel around the world, you should visit your senior brothers and sisters more often. You should also come back to Yishan Mountain more often so that you can tell me about their situation."
"That's pretty much it!"
The third senior brother had nothing in his hands, only a package on his back. In addition to his clothes, there was only a carving knife, plus the wine bottle on his waist, which was all his wealth.
"I still have some spiritual gold and spiritual wood left. I put them all in my house and won't take them away. There are many fairies, ghosts, evil spirits and villains in the world rushing to give them to me. Remember to go and take a look.
Put it away, and when you accept the disciple, I will give it to him." The third senior brother also said to the senior brother with a smile, very proud.
"I have one too."
"I left it in the room anyway, don't lose it."
"You..."
"Don't let me go." The third senior brother warned him, "When you recruit apprentices in the future, remember to recruit someone who can cook."
"Strive for."
The eldest brother looked at the fourth brother again: "Fourth brother, I am not worried about you. It's just that you are pure and kind-hearted. You like to interact with animals and birds and don't like to socialize with people. If you live in a busy city, you may waste yourself. There are two Taoist temples among them.
The room is very remote, deep in the mountains, junior brother, you'd better choose one of those two rooms."
"Take care of yourself, Senior Brother!"
The fourth senior brother brought a larger package, which contained some of the Four Treasures of the Study and a bamboo flute. Those friends in the mountains who decided to leave with him were already waiting for him in the woods.
This seems quite enviable——
With so many friends by my side, I feel at ease no matter where I go.
"Fifth Junior Brother, you are not good at fighting. It is best to choose one of the rooms in the city. Once you become famous, you will have no worries in this life."
"Know."
The fifth senior brother didn't pack much.
"Sixth Junior Brother, too, at least choose one close to the city. With the help of the Immortal, your lazy life can be more comfortable. But no matter how lazy you are, don't forget to ask the Immortal to deliver a letter."
"Know!"
The sixth brother brought a stylus that he used as a support and some tools for carpentry work.
"Seventh Junior Brother, go to those romantic places less often."
"this?"
The Seventh Senior Brother couldn't help being stunned and glanced at everyone.
"Junior brother..."
Finally it was Lin Jue's turn.
The senior brother looked at him carefully and took out a self-packaged book from his arms:
"Master told me that among all the brothers, you have the highest ambition, so I am the most worried about you. He said that if you don't even look at the Taoist temple when you go down the mountain, you are bent on pursuing immortality and immortality. But our Taoist inheritance
The yin and yang method can make human beings powerful, but it is difficult to make people achieve enlightenment. You will definitely pursue something else."
After saying that, he handed the book to Lin Jue.
"What's this?"
Lin Jue reached out to take it and asked puzzledly.
"It is the great road discussed by immortals, it is the enlightenment that Master once had, and it is also the detour he has taken." Senior Brother said, "He specially asked me to tell you, if you don't need it, you must not open it and read it. You can only think hard."
Only by finding another yin-yang avenue can you open it, and it will help you to some extent, and you will never make his original mistake again."
"..."
Lin Jue couldn't help but remain silent.
Even though he knew that the great yin and yang method must be recorded in the ancient book, this book was still heavy in his hand.
Lin Jue's luggage has also been packed, including a bookcase and two bamboo baskets.
The book contains his clothes, a water bottle and several books, as well as pen, ink, paper and inkstone, carving knife and hatchet, and of course the mother-of-pearl box given by the Empress of Yaohua, containing the wood carving of the silver-eating ghost.
One of the two bamboo baskets holds a bearskin blanket, and the other is used to help several senior brothers carry things they cannot carry. He also carries other things that are easy to carry with him.
After putting this book into the book, he said:
"I took note of it."
Then he also said to the senior brother:
"I asked the spirits in the mountain. It will take three years for the Danguo tree to grow. After it grows, it must absorb enough of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, before it will bear fruit. I don't know when the senior brother will come down from the mountain to recruit disciples. Anyway, I can rely on it.
You can control the speed of its flowering and fruiting by watering the spiritual fluid. If you are willing, you can also let the mountain spirits water it too. If there are too many fruits, just share one among them."
"I also wrote it down."
"Senior brother, take care."
"I'll come back someday and ride on the bridge to watch the rainbow."
The senior brother looked at the junior sister again: "Junior sister, Master said that you have a delicate and clear heart, but you are also smart, so I am not worried about you, but don't be too sad."
"I remember." Junior Sister nodded solemnly, and then said, "Senior Brother, Caili wants to go with me."
"Of course this is a good thing. You won't be so lonely."
"Thank you, senior brother!"
The junior sister nodded again.
Next to her were two bamboo baskets containing the dolls of the Seventh Senior Brother and a colorful raccoon looking around. She herself packed her luggage into a package and carried it on her back, carrying a long sword made of spiritual gold.
"After you settle down, remember to deliver the letter back." The senior brother took out another bag of silver, "This is the silver from the Taoist temple, take it and divide it, and treat it as a burden on the road."
But everyone only took a little.
"That's enough for us. Senior brother, you can keep the rest. After you accept disciples, you have to teach them how to practice magic and take care of their food and clothing. At least for the first few years, they can't go down the mountain to get rid of them.
You are too busy to make money for incense." The Seventh Senior Brother waved his hand, "Although it is difficult to move without money, we have our own ways."
"It's up to you."
The elder brother took it back.
The senior brothers all packed their luggage and took it with them. Those with less luggage helped those with more luggage, and each got an iron sword. Lin Jue and the younger junior sister called out the paper donkeys, put the bamboo baskets, and saluted to the senior brother.
.
Many Taoists in the mountain saluted each other.
"Farewell."
"Take care of yourself."
Eight people, one fox and one cat, turned around and walked down the mountain.
Spring has already begun in the world below the mountain, but it was not until the day Master left that the snow on the mountain stopped, and then it quickly disappeared. Even today, there is some greenery on the roadside.
There are also many flower buds growing on the peach branches.
The junior sister also put bells on her paper donkey, and it jingled as it walked around the mountains.
Many Taoists turned back frequently.
I have gone down the mountain many times, and never once did I want to go slower than this time.
It seems that even the fox can notice it. Although it is still jumping lightly in the forest, it keeps looking back. As it goes lower and lower, it jumps higher and higher, so that it can see the Taoist temple and the station at the entrance of the Taoist temple.
There is a middle-aged Taoist who looks like a farmer, with several cats, a thin dog and a clouded leopard at his feet.
But it soon disappeared from view.
A few seniors walked in front, carrying large and small bags. Lin Jue, carrying books, and the younger junior sister carrying luggage walked at the end. Behind them were two paper donkeys carrying bamboo baskets.
"Senior brother, I really can't bear to leave our Taoist temple." The younger junior sister couldn't help but whisper to him.
"It's not like Senior Brother forbids you to come back." Lin Jue also looked back at the depths of the mountain forest and replied calmly.
"Senior brother, what should I do if no one eats the peaches this year?"
"The monkey will eat it."
"How can monkeys understand how to eat peaches..." the junior sister said without thinking, "and they can't finish them."
"There will still be disciples going up the mountain."
"Yes." The younger junior sister nodded blankly, "Senior brother, tell me, was this the same thing when master sent the junior uncles down the mountain before?"
"Almost."
"What happens next?"
"That's about right."
There was nowhere to vent the emotions in the little junior sister's heart, and she couldn't figure it out, so she turned them into tiny words, which not only vented her emotions but also diverted her attention.
Lin Jue, however, was patient and answered her in a low voice, answering every sentence.
Not far away, I heard the junior sister say again:
"What a pity..."
"Why is it such a pity?"
“Not only are we unable to eat this year’s peaches, plums, apricots, pears, loquats, mulberry seeds, red bubbles, ground fruits, and kiwis—” the junior sister counted carefully, then continued, “this mountain full of
The flowers are about to bloom, but if we leave a little later, we can see them again."
"Um……"
Lin Jue couldn't help but turn around and look at the mountains and woods.
The ones that are close are mainly rhododendrons, and the ones that are far away are Xinyi, as well as peaches, plums, apricots and pears, but none of the flowers are blooming at this time.
The one closest to the flower is the peach blossom, but only the buds have emerged.
It's really a pity that my junior sister said this.
Lin Jue suddenly thought that last year he went back to his hometown and failed to see the spring flowers on Fuqiu Peak. Could it be that he couldn't see them this year either?
The steps stopped for a moment.
The donkey behind him also stopped.
The bell on the paper donkey's neck stopped ringing, so the senior brother walking in front turned around and looked at him suspiciously.
Then he saw Lin Jue put down his book and reached in and took out a petal.
The petals are as tender as new, but I don’t know what year they were from.
There was dead grass in autumn and winter last year. Rub the grass and it will become fragrant.
Hold it in your hand and shake it three times.
The dead grass suddenly burst into smoke.
"The Qing Emperor is above, and I'm watching the Taoist Lin Jue in Fuqiu below. I once had a fate with the emperor. If the emperor thinks of the friendship below to save the emperor's statue from the fire, please send down your divine power and repay the mountain flowers to bloom for a while."
Just saying a word, the smoke emitted by the grass fragrance was blown by the wind.
"call……"
Suddenly, a mighty breeze came, as cool as spring, blowing everyone's hair and robes, blowing over the mountain, and blowing all over the newly awakened trees.
This is the east wind.
There is unspeakable mystery and power in the wind.
Qing Emperor came as requested.
The senior brothers were all well-behaved, so they naturally noticed it and couldn't help but raise their heads and look around.
I saw the ancient azalea trees on both sides of the road growing petals quietly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then suddenly bloomed.
If you look deep into the forest, you will see countless rhododendrons and magnolia flowers blooming together, decorating not only the ancient road that the Taoist walked, but also the entire mountain.
There were countless birds and animals in the mountains that stopped in place, looking at the trees next to them in surprise.
Peaches, plums, apricots, azaleas, and azaleas all bloom at this time.
It's like a miracle.
At the gate of the Taoist temple, Senior Brother and a group of cats, the thin dog Clouded Leopard are still standing here, unwilling to go back. Although the figures of the junior brothers and sisters are no longer visible, you can hear the faint sound of bells in the mountains, and you know that the junior brothers are there.
The junior sisters had all gone, but as soon as this miracle happened, they were all stunned.
I stared blankly in front of me. In just a moment, brilliant flowers bloomed in front of me, and the entire mountain turned into a sea of flowers.
Not only the entrance of the Taoist temple, but also the mountains behind are colorful.
Even on the newly built grave mound, a wild grass raised its head, lifted up a bud with force and silently opened it, which turned out to be a delicate and bright wild flower.
The last stroke of life is also the first stroke of death.
Lin Jue was also stunned on the spot, raising his head and looking around.
It was just a trance, just a mystery, and they were already in a field of blooming mountain flowers. The ancient road was still quiet, and the quietness was breathtakingly beautiful.
At this moment, he realized something.
It is a burst of vitality and a new reincarnation, which is better than most divine powers in this world.
It's also the little bit of mystery that I lack.
"..."
A petal fell in front of him.
Lin Jue caught it, examined it carefully, and then put it on the ground.
He picked up the book, picked up the wooden stick, and continued to move forward.
There was a long whistle coming from the mountain forest.
There are actually people going against the grain with them.
They were not pilgrims going to Fuqiu Temple, but laborers and craftsmen carrying bricks, tiles and wood. They entered the mountain to build temples. Just now, all the laborers and craftsmen stopped and stared blankly at the mountain forest. They were excited for a moment.
He continued carrying building materials up the mountain.
There are also monks stopping by the roadside, clasping their hands, looking at the bright spring flowers on the mountain, and chanting the Buddha's name.
People going up the mountain and people coming down the mountain met on the ancient road, bowed to each other among the spring flowers, and then passed each other again.
The sword is now attached.
Going down the mountain is the river and lake.
