The next day, we boarded the bus to Xiangxi. Before getting on the bus, I looked around nervously to see if that person was there. As a result, there were all unfamiliar faces around me, and that person was not there. Appear.
Sitting on the bus, my mind was very restless. I had many questions that I couldn't figure out, but I couldn't figure them out. As the saying goes, a line is like a mountain. As a Taoist priest, I came into contact with many supernatural beings that ordinary people can't imagine. It's the same thing, but when it comes to Gu magic, I don't understand anything, just like ordinary people don't understand metaphysics.
It seems that what they have learned is really different. Everyone is just an ordinary person.
Brother Chengxin was sitting next to me. Seeing me thinking hard, he suddenly said: "Xiangxi, the mountains and rivers are dangerous and the roads are difficult to travel, but the scenery is so beautiful that it is intoxicating. It is one of the few places in our country that can still be found." There are certain medicinal materials and medicinal ingredients. Master and I have been here many times. This time, shall we go to Fenghuang County first?"
The car was bound for Jishou City. As soon as we arrived, we rushed to the county where we wanted to go, but we didn't want Brother Chengxin to suddenly say that we were going to Phoenix. What did that mean
Unfortunately, facing my probing eyes, he just smiled and said: "There are many things to do and solve in this life. If it is not an urgent matter, then along the way, with a leisurely mood, there will be more It’s not a bad thing to see some scenery. In just a few decades, we will all be able to see more."
After saying that, Brother Chengxin said nothing more, but stretched, then took out a piece of towel, folded it neatly, put it on the back of his neck, and then fell asleep very peacefully, which made me Shush, this guy knows how to enjoy it.
The car arrived in Jishou City smoothly. In fact, when I entered the city, I found that my eyes were not enough. The scenery along the way had successfully caught my eyes, whether it was the majestic mountains or the fresh flowing water. The vast tracts of farmland and the curling smoke are all so beautiful, just like oil paintings of life, which is amazing.
Suddenly, a leisurely mood radiated from the bottom of my heart. Just as Brother Chengxin said, life is only a few decades. Don’t rush just because you are in a hurry, forgetting the scenery along the way, and your destination is nothing. It is the reincarnation of life after life. The scenery along the way is the most precious treasure in life.
Yes, the scenery along the way is like this. Over and over again, we use the beauty of nature to cleanse our hearts, so that our hearts can finally return to nature. This is what God wants to tell us.
I don’t know if I integrated into these scenes of scenery, or if these scenes of scenery infected me. In short, before setting off, my anxious mentality was almost gone. When I got off the bus, I actually had a smile on my face.
With this mood, we traveled around Jishou City safely for two days. I guess the moods of Brother Chengxin and I also infected Surou and Qinhuai. These two guys were also exceptionally quiet and had a good time with me. He enjoyed traveling around, eating, drinking, and looking at beautiful women, especially the crispy meat. This kid almost forgot about the poison in his body.
"This is life. I suddenly feel that I don't want to make money anymore. I just want to slowly travel around the great rivers and mountains of China. But if I don't make money and I can't walk, it's really annoying." This is Su Rou's sigh.
"Brother, I think so too, but how can you be so free and easy? What about your responsibilities to your family and friends? Life is so helpless." Qinhuai also sighed like this.
As for me, my thoughts are very simple. Everyone originally yearns for a clean and pure life, but there is only one step between such cleanliness and purity and laziness. It is precisely these responsibilities, cause and effect that can be experienced in the original heart. Only when you have an original heart In my eyes, what is not the scenery
At least, a family eating warmly in an ordinary hut is also a scene.
However, I ask myself that I am not in such a state yet. Only when I am close to nature can my thoughts become more natural. After all, relying on external factors is not your own natural way.
The three of us traveled around, but Brother Chengxin was very busy. He was busy going to some local places that only he knew about, collecting medicinal materials. When we were about to set off for Phoenix, he had already collected a lot of medicinal materials. He asked a local acquaintance of his to help him dry it and said he would pick it up later.
I originally thought that Brother Chengxin’s original intention was just to relax us and face the upcoming evil situation, but I didn’t expect that this gentle-looking man had another intention, and it had a strange effect, so much so that I was later When you see people who are studying medicine, you will instinctively feel that they are much more thoughtful than ordinary people.
——————————————————————————————
Two days later, we arrived in Fenghuang County. At that time, this county was not a famous tourist destination in the country and was relatively closed. As expected, as soon as I set foot on the land here, I felt that the beauty here was breathtaking.
Here, I can already feel the unique style, the scenery of the Miao border.
Watching the clear Tuojiang River flowing through here, watching the smoke curling up from the stilted buildings beside the water, walking on the bluestone road, and carefully looking at each building, the unique patterns made me feel so simple and beautiful.
"How's it going? Don't you regret coming here?" Brother Chengxin stopped my shoulder and said.
"Well, very good. I often dream of living in a place like this, living with my family and friends, and never leaving for the rest of my life. Even if others say that I am a country bumpkin who has never seen the world, even if I live in poverty and have a simple diet, I All reasons." I told Brother Chengxin seriously.
"Chengyi, I didn't expect you to have such feelings, it sounds poetic." Brother Chengxin showed his signature smile, and then looked at me extremely seriously and said, "Do you know where your pain is? ?”
I couldn't react for a while. Where was my pain? Why did Brother Chengxin suddenly say this
He touched his chin, suddenly smiled again, and said in a very ordinary, gentle tone that was unique to him: "In your heart, you are just a man who is content with an ordinary life, but in reality, you are a child who is destined to be a descendant of the Shanzi Line." , you cannot shirk your fate and responsibility, and are contrary to your ideals. Therefore, I hope that every day you spend, whether it is thrilling or peaceful, you can regard it as your ordinary life and live in peace."
I looked at Brother Chengxin with some surprise and realized that I didn't understand him at all, but he understood me quite well.
Seeing my surprised expression, Brother Chengxin patted me on the shoulder and said, "Don't look at me like this. These words were told by your master to my master, and then they were remembered by me. In our lineage, which one What are you not going to bear? But you are the hardest worker. Haha... "
I looked at him helplessly and said to myself, why do I think you are gloating about your misfortune
In this way, the four of us chatted and walked leisurely in the ancient town. Brother Chengxin said that he had acquaintances here, so he could have a small courtyard to live in. I was amazed, why did he have acquaintances in Jishou City, here? He also has acquaintances in the same county
But that's okay, at least walking in this town, I can't think of any place where I can stay in a hotel. Maybe there is, and I don't want to stay.
Sure enough, after being missing for an hour, Brother Chengxin found the three of us playing in the water by the river, and then took us into an alley. In the middle of the alley, he actually found a small wooden building for us to live in.
I don’t know where the original owner went. Anyway, when we entered, there was no one here, but all the living facilities were complete. I even saw dried bacon hanging.
Surou and Qinhuai didn't think too much. As soon as they entered the house, they were fascinated by the freshness in the house, especially the fire pit in the house. Qinhuai shouted that he would have a barbecue party.
As for Brother Chengxin walking into the house and asking me to take off my clothes, I was very frightened. What was he going to do
Brother Chengxin smiled and said to me: "Do you think I look like a girl? Then, do you think I look like you? What you ask for is not what you want, but what you get is not what you want? So, feel free to take off your clothes."
In my day, if he hadn't looked like he was from the same sect, I would have whipped him, absolutely.
In the end, he just threw away the gauze that was wrapped around my shoulder, and then washed it with hot water several times. Then he said with confidence: "Well, the medicine I gave you shouldn't have any effect now. That's it, here. Stay. Don't object. After you told me your guess that day, I called and told Master Li. Master Li said that he had discussed with several other Masters and let us do this. "
"How?" I was too stupid to react.
"Oh, I ask you not to take any medicine, and remember to stay here under your seal. Stay here until guests come to the door."
