I thought my house would be lively, but after carrying Lushan and returning with Master, I found that it had become very quiet again... Those drunk and unconscious guys who were sleeping messily in my yard were gone.
At this time, Elder Qiu came over and said to me: "Master, they have been taken back by their master."
I nodded and put Lu Shan on the chair in the yard. Only then did I realize that Tao Bai hadn't been taken away yet. He looked very insecure, curled up in a corner and fell asleep... I guess it was because Lu Shan was not there. He can't feel at ease around him.
Thinking of his experience, I felt that this child was really pitiful. For so many years, his only support was Lu Shan.
"Find someone to send them back too." Master frowned slightly, and then said softly to Elder Qiu... Elder Qiu didn't ask any more questions, nodded, and then went down to make arrangements.
Master and I returned to the room. I was still drunk... At this time, fatigue also came out. I lay on the table and didn't know what to say for a while
"Still like a child." Master glanced at me, biting the tobacco stick, his eyes were calm, but his expression was very loving.
I enjoyed this feeling and just smiled at Master.
"Go to sleep... I will stay with you tonight." Master said calmly.
"Are you going back that day?" I asked.
"If I don't go back... I'll stay with you." What the master said was incomprehensible.
"Why do you suddenly want to accompany me?" Could it be that Master is worried about that big battle
"Chengyi, you can't hide it from me. Is there something wrong with the boy's will in you?" After saying this, the master took the dry tobacco pole from his mouth and suddenly looked at it like this Looking at me, his eyes became calmer and calmer, just like the long years we have experienced, many sunrises and sunsets... I was eating, I was doing morning exercises, I was... the way he looked at me.
But I sat up straight and murmured: "Master, you..." As I spoke, the emotions I had been suppressing for the past few days finally became unbearable, and my eyes suddenly turned red. .
It's like a wronged child who is finally discovered by his elders... How can he remain calm
Master didn't say anything, he just stood up... He reached out and touched my hair. He was still so calm... Just like the calmness when I was young and needed his protection, it made me feel at ease... . Jean felt that as long as he was there, nothing would be a problem.
"Sleep first, don't think about anything...I am here. As long as I am still here, my disciple will definitely not be able to take it away from you." Master's words were very soft, but unusually firm. I suddenly felt inexplicably relieved. , looked at the master and nodded heavily.
Then, I didn't say anything, and I didn't even have time to take off my clothes... I just lay on the bed, and then a thick sleepiness surrounded me... I felt like I had been sleepy for a long time. I have never experienced it before. It is the kind of mood that makes you feel at ease and want to sleep in ordinary days, rather than the mood that is full of worries and exhausted to the limit and has to sleep.
My consciousness soon became blurry... But I felt Master sitting next to my bed, putting his hand on my head, touching it a few times... and then there was no sound.
I didn't sleep long this time... I was woken up by Master in the morning, but after this deep sleep, I was very energetic. Originally, practitioners sleep less than ordinary people... So , and it doesn’t have much impact.
After seeing that I got up, Master walked quickly to the door, his hair and beard still messy, turned to me and shouted: "Why don't you hurry up? Get up and do morning exercises!"
Morning exercise? This word is almost unfamiliar to me who lives a wandering life... However, Master looked at me and smiled. I was still a little confused at first, but I smiled at Master inexplicably, and then got out of bed. Jumped up and said: "Okay, morning exercise!"
The snow-capped mountains in the morning are as full of spectacular beauty as the night... The faint sunshine in the morning, the broad grassland, the surrounding white snow-capped mountains, the clear and clear lakes, the galloping horses... constitute A picture full of hope.
After several sets of punches, my body was already steaming with heat. I had already pulled off my obstructive robe, and I was only wearing a pair of white pants... But I still couldn't dissipate the heat.
It’s been too long since I’ve done morning exercise. I feel a little tired physically, but my spirit is filled with a strange kind of enrichment... This makes me feel good... And Master is sitting on the lawn next to me, looking at me. Just like when I was a child, occasionally when my movements were not standard, he would come over and give me either a slap or a kick.
Some cold lake water was poured on my face, and I felt a little bit of cold comfort, and shouted: "It's so good!" Master came over with my robe and said to me: "Enough is enough. Put it on quickly... to avoid catching a cold."
I put on my robe and smiled at Master: "Do you think I can still catch a cold?"
"Cultivators are human beings too, why don't they catch colds? Don't talk nonsense to me!" As he was talking, Master whistled in the distance, where there were disciples from the snow-capped mountains who were in charge of the animals on the grasslands. The horse galloped over, taking two horses with him.
I didn’t know what Master was going to do, but he looked into the distance and said, “Chengyi, it’s also a morning exercise. What do you think is different between here and at Zhulin Xiaozhu?”
"There's no difference." I said it almost without thinking. Originally, there was no difference. The effect of morning exercise is the same no matter where it is.
"That's right... The same is true in life. No matter in good times or in bad times, you are still you... You will not change yourself because of any environment, nor give up on yourself because of any difficulties, that is, keep your heart. The foundation of your original intention. Do you understand? As long as you are still there, nothing can be changed by any environment, nor can anything be submerged... Don't forget your original intention and temper your original intention." At this time, the snowy mountain with the horse A line of disciples has arrived in front of Master and me.
He dismounted and handed the two horses, which had been harnessed, to the master.
I stood there without moving... but I was thinking about what Master said to me. Master has not mentioned the word "original heart" to me for many years... I always thought that he thought I was long. Now that I'm older, there's no need to deliberately mention the word "original heart" to me, and I think I've maintained it very well.
But Master didn't let me think too much... Instead, he led two horses to my side. He got on one of the horses himself. He was vigorous and free-spirited. He didn't look like a horse at all. An old man who is almost a hundred years old.
Then he said to me: "Get on the horse!"
"Where to go?" I subconsciously held the horse's reins, then turned over and rode on.
Master looked into the distance and smiled, pointed to a snow-capped mountain in the distance and said to me: "Go to the foot of that snow-capped mountain over there... Chengyi, you and I are both cultivators, and today we will challenge That snowy mountain.”
While he was talking, Master didn't give me a chance to respond. He said "drive" and started galloping... And in the wind came his fragmentary voice, "If you arrive later than me, you will be the best." One minute a kick"
I believe Master can really do it, how dare you neglect it? At that moment, he clamped his legs around the horse's belly... and began to chase the master.
The grassland here is not as broad as the vast no-man's land grassland outside... But after galloping, I discovered... What you see in your eyes cannot be completely connected with the actual distance. After all, The world is so big, but people are so small... Many things can only be seen with the eyes, but cannot really be 'measured' with the body.
The horses were galloping, and the whistling wind blew by my ears... The magnificent grassland gave people a feeling of infinite heart, just like many scenes in the years... What I saw was still Master's The reassuring figure from the back... It's just that the horse under me seemed to be faster, and the figure from the back was getting closer and closer to me... Soon, I was walking side by side with the master.
"Chengyi, do you think this world is big?" Master did not slow down, but screamed at me in the howling wind.
"Big!" I shouted at the top of my lungs.
"Chengyi, do you feel that you are very small?" Master asked me again.
"Yes, on this grassland, I feel like a little black dot." I said loudly with a smile.
"But the world is so big, and a small black dot is so small... But just because the world is big and you are small, do you really not exist? Not only do you exist, but you also left behind yourself along the way. There are long traces of you... and you have existed, and neither heaven nor earth can erase it! Therefore, at any time, you cannot give up on yourself... because neither heaven nor earth can reject your existence, your How can the will dissipate because of the existence of the will in the previous life? How can it be compared with heaven and earth?" Master suddenly turned his head and shouted loudly at me.
But this time, I didn't scream, but whispered: "Master..."
"My apprentice will not disappear! He won't..." The master suddenly shouted to God, and then sped up again... Looking up, what I saw was still his reassuring face. Back view.
