Chapter 7 Enlightenment of Heaven
Everyone was in high spirits at this time and was really sleepy, so everyone came to the hall to chat happily. After enjoying Shang Xiuxun's superb cooking skills, we were still not finished, and we all admired Shang Xiuxun's cooking skills. When asked where Shang Xiuxun's cooking skills came from, Shang Xiuxun's expression was gloomy: "Xiuxun's cooking skills were taught by my mother, but it's a pity that my mother has passed away. Thinking about the days at that time, I was really carefree, and I don't have to worry like I am now."
I hurriedly comforted me, "Let it go over the past, why should Xiuxun be sad for it?" My heart couldn't help but feel dark. I was originally going to ask her if Lu Miaozi was living in seclusion in the valley to the north, but when I saw Shang Xiuxun so sad, Lu Miaozi seemed to have a close relationship with Shang Xiuxun's mother, and Shang Xiuxun's attitude towards him was extremely unfriendly. So I tactfully held back my thoughts.
He said in his heart: "It seems that I have to spend some effort this time."
Shang Xiuxun got much better under the comfort of the girls, and then started chatting with Yu Fu Jun-woo and others, as if he had ignored the existence of me. I really don’t know why they talked so much. I had nothing to do, so I left the hall alone and explored the valley behind me. But after searching for two or three hours, I couldn’t find the valley where Lu Miaozi lived in seclusion. I don’t know if the valley was too rugged or because Lu Miaozi’s seclusion was too shaded. In short, this time I returned without success, returned to the ranch dejectedly, and made up my mind to come back the next day.
The next day, just as dawn, I explained my intention to leave to Wei Zhenzhen and other women, and then came to the north alone. In addition to this valley, there were endless mountains to the north, with different heights, but they all had one common feature, that is, the forests were lush. The valley was still filled with the pungent smell of roasted pork after the fire, which made people feel disgusting and the ventilation in their chests was not smooth. I went deep into the valleys and searched carefully above the canyon, but no matter what, I couldn't find a place suitable for seclusion, and I couldn't help but feel anxious.
Suddenly, a strange and beautiful sound came from somewhere in the mountain. I sighed: "What an ethereal and thorough sound of flute, like a fairy Shao from the sky." After listening carefully, the sound of flute seemed to describe the endless beauty in a certain soul, and also to express my deep attachment to the beautiful scenery of nature and my disgust for the pebble conquest.
The sound of the flute slowly floats in the elegant atmosphere of the natural wind blowing the leaves, with a charm of entanglement and death that will not stop until death, which makes the listener indulge in it.
The feelings of the flute blower are like the empty mountains locked by clouds, elusive and measurable. It is like a person inside the scene who is like the indifference of the bystander staring at the lingering fate. Listening to such a flute sound, I was shocked in my mind, and a girl who is not as beautiful as a beauty, Shi Qingxuan. Only she can play such a clear and beautiful sound of the flute, as if it was a sadness that was accidentally left in the human world in the heavenly palace.
Following the direction of the sound of the flute, I accelerated my pace and shuttled through the winding valley. I moved left and right, rising and falling to a quiet place. This is an empty place hidden deep in the heart of the valley, as if it was artificially developed. The grass, trees, ponds and water are perfectly matched, and each tree seems to be planted according to a method. The whole garden exudes a natural and mysterious atmosphere. There are two unique attics standing between the mountains, rivers, plants and trees. The quiet sound of the flute just now came from the attic.
I said to myself: "Master Lu can enjoy it, but he can find such a quiet place to live in seclusion." Thinking of this, my body rose into the air and flew towards the attic. Just as I was about to ask, I heard a loud voice in the attic: "Are you a distinguished guest here, please come to the building to speak."
Haha, Lu Miaozi's martial arts cultivation is indeed profound. He flew into the air and fell to the door of the attic. He smiled and pushed the door open, and said at the same time: "My younger generation, Long Tianxiao, is here to visit Master Lu."
When I walked into the attic, I saw an old man with long beards and fairy-like swaying body sitting in front of me. He looked at me with a smile. When I saw me coming in, the glimmer of admiration flashed and pointed to the seat in front of me to sit down. I wanted the old man to smile to express his gratitude, and then searched the room, but there was no trace of the beauty. I was inevitably disappointed.
Seeing this, Lu Miaozi smiled cheerfully and said, "Did you lose something from me? Otherwise, why would you keep searching in the room as soon as you walk into this room?"
My face turned red and I smiled awkwardly, "The master did observe the subtleties. When I came, I heard a quiet and vulgar sound of flutes, which conveyed all the insights between heaven and earth. Only Shi Qingxuan Shi Fairy in the world can do it if he can play such a charming flute sound. I wonder if it is or not?"
Lu Miaozi gently stroked her beard and smiled, "I didn't expect that my friend is so knowledgeable about music. Haha, my friend said it well, the lyrics and music are indeed played by Qingxuan. As for whether she is willing to meet her little brother, it is not something I can control. Haha, it can only look at the fate between the young master and Qingxuan."
When Lu Miaozi's tone seemed to have left here, he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss. At this time, Lu Miaozi looked at me with a smile, and was delighted, until Shi Qingxuan did not leave. So his eyes began to search in the room. But he still didn't find anything special, so he respectfully said: "I am Xialong Tianxiao, admire the lady's flute skills, please ask Fairy Shi to come out and see me, and I wish you." The voice was gentle but loud, and it surrounded the room for a long time. But Shi Qingxuan still didn't see me coming out to see me, and I felt a little disappointed.
Lu Miaozi also shook her head and said, "It seems that my friend has no chance to have Qingxuan."
My face was disappointed. At this moment, I suddenly saw a guqin on the deep cabinet of Lu Miaozi. With a sudden inspiration, I said to Lu Miaozi: "I have a reluctant request. Maybe the fairy is willing to meet me at first sight."
Lu Miaozi smiled and said, "Oh? My friend has any requirements but it doesn't matter, as long as I can do it."
I said, "I want to borrow the master's profound guqin from you."
Lu Miaozi looked at me, turned around and picked up the guqin and handed it to me, "Do you know how to play the rhythm? I should appreciate it well."
I carefully took the guqin and replied, "I only know a little bit. I hope the master will not laugh at me if I play it well." After saying that, he placed the zither flat in front of me, first tried the rhythm, and then smiled at Lu Miaozi, and compared to his eyes, his fingers danced like water on the strings. The song "Smiling, Proud Wanderer" slowly slid out between the dancing fingers. The moving melody echoed throughout the room, filled with Lu Miaozi's mind, and even aroused his youthful ambition that had already been extinguished in his heart. Every note was plucking Lu Miaozi's heartstrings like life.
And I was unconsciously intoxicated by the melody sliding between my fingers. After the song, the attic was silent, and even the birds outside the attic just now made it silent. I opened my eyes gently, but was surprised to see a fairy who was unparalleled in the world, not the fireworks on earth, sitting quietly opposite me with a smile, with a look of admiration between my eyebrows and eyes, and said quietly: "Young Master's piano sound is worthy of the heavenly palace music that is rare in the world. Your master's skills in fuqiu can shake ancient and modern times, and I am just like this to Boya. Can you tell Qingxuan the name of this song?"
I hurriedly said, "Miss Shi has been awarded too much. This song has no name yet. I just said it because I was inspired by the following words. If I have to choose a name, it will be called "Swordsman".
Shi Qingxuan muttered in a low voice: ""Swordsman"... What an appropriate and beautiful name."
Lu Miaozi also slapped the table and laughed: "I am proud of all the skills in the world. At this time, I heard the song played by my friend and realized the profound truth of "There is heaven beyond the sky". If I could read this song "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" in "If I could play the piano and flute together, I would definitely be remembered forever and be passed down as a divine song by later generations."
Lu Miaozi's knowledge is indeed profound. He could only hear once that this song was a music played by the qin and flute. He was really impressed. At the same time, he couldn't help but yearn for it. If he could play with Shi Qingxuan and the qin and flute, it would be a waste of time. Thinking of this, he glanced at Shi Qingxuan, but saw that she seemed to be still intoxicated by the melody just now.
Lu Miaozi came to us and said with great emotion: "After listening to this song, my heart suddenly became enlightened. The unresolved knot that had been entangled in my heart for many years was suddenly enlightened. Since I lived here thirty years ago, I have never forgotten to avenge my revenge in my heart, so the flame of hatred has been burning my body and mind. In order to seek peace for the second half of my life, I began to study Zen more than 20 years ago and pursue the ethereal and untraceable way of heaven. With my talent and decades of vicissitudes of life, I have become a huge treasure house for me to practice Zen. When my Zen cultivation reaches a certain level, my talent and these decades of vicissitudes of life have become obstacles to my enlightenment, because I have never truly extinguished the flame of revenge in my heart.
But after listening to your "Swordsman" just now, I suddenly realized that it has been thirty years and the world has changed. Why should I be so persistent about the past? Haha, even I am now wondering why the knot that I can't be untied for thirty years is so easy to solve after listening to your music. Perhaps it is because I saw my friend, a rising star who is more talented than me back then, and I am willing to face my own knot when I have a sustenance in my heart."
After hearing Lu Miaozi's words, I couldn't help but feel happy. Unexpectedly, the song "Swordsman" that I did unintentionally allowed Lu Miaozi to understand the way of heaven. However, the masters of Cihang Jingzhai's generations were unable to practice hard for a lifetime, and they had to sigh at the helplessness of fate. Perhaps this is the so-called "things go against our wishes". There is a destiny in the dark, which may also have a lot to do with Cihang Jingzhai's hypocrisy and arrogance of self-esteem.
Inadvertently, I saw Shi Qingxuan's face at this moment was quite sad. I couldn't help but wonder, and asked: "Master is so good at heaven, why is Miss Qingxuan not happy at all?"
Shi Qingxuan looked at me resentfully and said, "Master Lu's old wounds thirty years ago have been hurt in his bones. This is twenty years of research on Zen that made the master relax his worldly desires. At the same time, although the knot in his heart has become an obstacle for the master to cultivate the way of heaven, it has also become a spiritual goal of his struggle. He has always been able to forget the past decades of life in the martial arts world, study the way of heaven, and try to uncover the knot in his heart. Although he has not fulfilled his wish for many years, he has saved the master's life. And the song "Smiling, Proud Wanderer" by the young master once again evokes his feelings for his past life in the martial arts world. The knot in his heart suddenly becomes clear and becomes the so-called way of heaven, but this means that Master Lu has been named for a short time now."
I grew up in surprise and said in shock: "What? What...what should I do?" I quickly turned my face and looked at Lu Miaozi and said: "What Qingxuan said is true?"
Lu Miaozi smiled and nodded. After seeing this, I felt nervous and thought for a while and said, "Master Lu's life-threatening because of his old injury thirty years ago. As long as I can heal him, Master Lu's injury, can all the problems be solved soon?" Thinking of this, I hurriedly asked Lu Miaozi: "Master Lu can tell me where the old injury thirty years ago is? My true qi of my younger generation has miraculous effect on healing wounds. Maybe it can help me heal my old injury?"
Lu Miaozi laughed twice and said, "Do you want to disturb me? I am nearly 70 years old and will not die for a young age. Besides, how many people can understand the true nature of the way of heaven that has been realized in the ages? I am lucky to achieve what I wish, so I should be happy for me, so can I come and obstruct me?"
After hearing Lu Miaozi's words, my feeling of loss and self-blame became much lighter. I looked at Lu Miaozi with a smile and said convincedly: "What the master taught me is that I have learned." Then I smiled embarrassedly and said: "I don't know if I ask another question, should I ask?"
Lu Miaozi touched her elegant long beard and smiled heartily, "I just said it's okay, why are you so mother-in-law?"
I looked at Shi Qingxuan who was smiling curiously on the side, and asked embarrassedly: "Haha, Master Lu is probably the only person I know who has realized the way of heaven, so I want to ask the seniors what the so-called "way of heaven" in this world is?"
