Xu Fengnian, Xu Yanbing, Huyan Daguan, Tantai Pingping, Tiemu Dier.
Five riders went south to Lingzhou.
Three of them are among the fourteen martial arts critics. Tantai Pingping is now the most impressive qi trainer master in the world, and the other is the most promising talented young man in Beimang. This lineup, which can be said to be unprecedented, is still much better than the Nine Swords of the Wu family who broke through the northern mang and thousands of horses. Tiemu Dier didn't know why he had to make this trip to the south, and he was quite against the young feudal lord deep in his heart, but Huyan Daguan said he wanted him to accompany him, so Tiemu Dier could only follow obediently. It was rumored in Beimang that the person surnamed Xu not only inherited Li Chungang's two-sleeved green dragon, but Deng Tai'a also taught flying swordsmanship. opponent. Tiemu Dier was taciturn all the way, and several times wanted to ask Huyan Daguan who never wanted to admit that he was his master, and wanted to ask this man if he could surpass Xu Fengnian in kendo attainments in this life, but Tiemu Dier didn't even realize that he was his master. He who rarely wins or loses in sword practice is different. Five riders were galloping on the Lingzhou post road known as Jiangnan outside the Great Wall. Tiemu Dier had been carefully observing Xu Fengnian's words and deeds, not without any clues. For example, although Xu Fengnian hung a cold knife on his left waist, this The king of Beiliang is actually a hidden left-hander. When he is an enemy, it must be a world of difference whether he has a right-handed sword or a left-handed sword. Furthermore, although Xu Fengnian's qi seems to be flowing slowly and dry, as in a dry season, the water surface is extremely shallow, almost bottoming out. But Tiemu Dier knew that if his qi movement was like that of a river in the flood season, and at first glance it looked menacing, then Xu Fengnian was the Guangling River in Liyang, the more waterless, the more majestic , The depth and breadth of the waterway is terrifying.
Wuqi stopped his horse at the northernmost part of Lingzhou, turned off the post road, and turned into a mountain range along the path. Shipped out of the mountains. Leading the way for Wuqi was a Fushuifang spy who had been waiting at the entrance of the mountain for a long time. Dirty breath. The man's surname is Liu, and he is a spy leader of the second-class house in Fushui Society. He only knows that he is going to pick up someone, but he doesn't tell who he is picking up in advance. The spy wasn't sure where he came from, but since the Fushui Club Jiazifang Dadang, who was in charge of the Lingzhou spy agency, said a few harsh words for the first time, he cautiously accompanied the five riders into the mountain. The man carefully introduced the history of this quarry to them along the way, saying that it is called Jianyu Mountain in the local area, and Lingzhou scholars like to call it Lantau Dongtian. After protecting the mansion, most of the stone materials for the construction of Qingcang Linyao's military towns were excavated from this point. Later, the Qingliangshan Prince's Mansion was built like this, and the Hutou City at the Liangzhou border that took six years was even more in this way.
The five of Xu Fengnian had no choice but to lead their horses to the top of a mountain overlooking the peaks. After the beginning of spring, the sight was full of lush greenery, but as far as they could see, it was like the peak at their feet, which was already an empty shell. Since then, after nearly 500 years of stone mining, this Lantau cave, one of the thirty-six blessings of Taoism, has really become a veritable cave. It is composed of 16 cave groups and nearly a thousand caves. Looking at Yizhi Peak, the plank roads of the Yangchang Trail are covered with mountains, and there are occasional Taoist temples with upturned eaves on the main peak, hidden in a cage of greenery. Day after day, year after year, tens of thousands of quarrymen in Beiliang are working hard here to make a living, and those who want to live forever are born here to practice Taoism.
Xu Fengnian stood on the top of the mountain, dazed in a daze. Lantau Cave was brightly lit and frantically mined since the beginning of the year, ushering in the highest peak of quarrying volume. That young feudal lord is really determined to completely hollow out the entire mountain range, where will they find a paradise? On the eve of the Qingming Festival, three elderly real people visited the governor's mansion of Lingzhou together, raised objections to Xu Beizhi in tactful words, and even used the reason that this move would hurt Beiliang's foundation. Xu Beizhi treated each other with courtesy, but the government's quarrying progress was still as usual. As the chief culprit, Xu Fengnian is of course well aware of the secrets. He said that he would build a Hutou city after the third Chongzuka defense line, and it would only take three years. As the supervisor, Xu Fengnian will personally serve as the deputy supervisor. The unnamed new city will rest on the water and face Songshan Mountain. It will be larger than Hutou City, and it will become the new largest city in the Northwest. Will the city be built? Of course, Xu Fengnian wanted to use this to tell Beiman Beiting and Xijing, especially Dong Zhuo, the king of Nanyuan, that Beiliang would still have to break another city even after they successfully destroyed the third line of Hutou City, Liuya Fuling and Chongzuka. Enter Beiliang Road. Will Beiliang's finances and taxes, which are not well off, be cut off because of this? The answer was of course, but Xu Fengnian was putting all his eggs in one basket. Except for the third-line frontier army and the army guarding the pass, everyone in Liangzhou had to rush to the Hengshui Songshan area to contribute to the construction of a new city. All of this was actually to pave the way for the cover for the decisive battle at Hulukou a year later. Xu Fengnian had to force Bei Mang to focus on the front line of Liangzhou. For this reason, Xu Fengnian even discussed with Chu Lushan a tragic plan for Liangzhou to win and Liuzhou to lose, because Liuzhou only has a deep meaning when it wins and loses. In a stalemate, Liuzhou has no strategic value. Of course, even if Liuzhou loses , can only let Bei Mang and Liu Gui win only a tragic victory, then Kou Jianghuai will become a crucial pawn. Xu Fengnian agreed.
This means that the 30,000 Dragon Elephant garrison, the three towns of Qingcang in Liuzhou, and the 100,000 refugees who have not yet moved into the old three states of Beiliang will definitely be in danger.
And Xu Fengnian's younger brother, Xu Longxiang, was the first to bear the brunt.
So when Xu Fengnian agreed, Chu Lushan had a complicated expression. Later in Qingliangshan Wutong Courtyard, the reason why Xu Weixiong didn't have a good face towards Xu Fengnian was not necessarily because she had some resistance to Xu Fengnian's decision deep in her heart.
Xu Fengnian pointed to a cave in the distance, turned his head and asked Tantai with a calm smile: "Ever since I heard about the quarrying of Lantau Cave, I have never understood why the cave is so grand but the entrance is so narrow. The master said that quarrying stones in the cave is actually not as hard as outsiders imagined. In the words of the quarrymen who inherited their father's work and followed their teacher's work, it is similar to cutting soft tofu with a knife, except that the stone is hoisted into the cave. Once outside, it will soon be as hard as iron. Sect Master Tantai, do you know what is the mystery here?"
Tantai said calmly and softly: "Many ancient relics from tombs that have been preserved for thousands of years and are still intact will disappear when they see the sun again. The rocks from the mountainside become hard when they come out of the mountain. It is probably the same reason and different manifestations. It is the result of the fusion of matter and gas."
Xu Fengnian hesitated to speak, suppressed his smile, held back for a long time and finally couldn't help but said: "When I was young, I had a bad temper, and I couldn't hold back my words. After thinking about it for a long time, I finally came up with an explanation. The softness turned hard, in fact, it was like the child took off his pants after seeing the world in the brothel. Then he ran to hear what Chaoge said, and was punished by the master to copy tens of thousands of words of sage scriptures. At that time, he wanted to die. There is."
Tantai, dressed in white like a fairy, took a deep breath peacefully.
Huyan Daguan smirked and told the general meaning to the real "younger" Temudieer, who rolled his eyes.
Xu Fengnian turned his head and asked, "Sect Master Tantai, can I ask another question?"
Grandmaster Qi Practitioner sneered, "Is it okay if you don't answer?"
Xu Fengnian had no choice but to ask cheekily: "Is it possible for a person not to eat or drink at the bottom of the lake for ten or twenty years? Can the best Taoist eat qi, or Buddhist meditate in front of a wall, can it be done? You qi practitioners have Is there no similar magical method?"
Tan Taiping remained silent.
But Huyan Daguan said, "As long as it's not at the bottom of the lake, it's all possible."
Xu Fengnian fell into deep thought, how did the crazy Chu man with his collarbone through the chain and the knife do it? This is something he has been curious about since he went to Wudang Mountain to practice swords. At that time, he thought it was because his level was not enough, and he didn't understand how powerful a first-rank martial arts master was. He couldn't do it, and Xu Fengnian still couldn't get a reasonable answer after being promoted to the Zhixuan Realm and the Celestial Phenomena Realm one after another. Later, after Gao Shulu sealed off the mountain, the two sides fought, and he achieved the body of a celestial being. Only then did he realize that to achieve the level of Chu Kuangren, only land gods who are good at nourishing Qi can barely do it, but in fact Chu Kuangren's martial arts realm is at In the eyes of Xu Fengnian today, he is actually not too clever. He has a first-grade product, but he is definitely not in the realm of astronomical phenomena. This is enough to make Xu Fengnian puzzled. It was Lao Huang who suppressed the old man with double knives who was born in the Beimang Princess Tomb like Helian Wuwei, who held the festival in Hexi Prefecture, but the real plan was the master behind the top floor of Tingchao Pavilion. any leads.
Xu Fengnian suddenly said with emotion: "The wise do their best, the brave do their best, the benevolent spread their benefits, and the believers are loyal. Civil and military struggle, the monarch and his ministers live in peace, and you can rule by yourself. Rule by bow, huh, it's easy to say , In fact, in all dynasties, except for those emperors who were lucky enough to enjoy the peace of the world, in a prosperous age, they wanted to expand their territory. Plotting, who is plotting for? Is it plotting for the emperor or the common people? Isn’t Zhang Julu’s death just the price paid for the people’s respect for the king? Will the brave man gain the hope of Shu? Once the addiction of sitting on the dragon chair? The benevolent raises the hope, and the mud and the sand are all gone. Is there any fame? For example, like the old master of the Song family who stole copies of the memorials over the years in order to make his name go down in history? Believers are loyal, will there be courtiers who are foolish and loyal? Doom the country?"
Xu Fengnian laughed at himself: "Who doesn't want to be an emperor? When I was young, I often thought, apart from the dream of being a hero that is gone now, the next thing is the dream of being an emperor. Once the power is in hand, you can kill all the eyes-obsessed dogs in the world. The women are all their own, so refreshing. But as time goes by, I realize that being an emperor is really not easy. Grandpa Zhao Zhuan wants to kill Xu Xiao, Laozi Zhao Zhuan kills the Han family in Jizhou, and even Zhang Julu when he is dying Only then can we close our eyes with peace of mind. Zhao Dun and Li Yang did not accept the new calendar of Li Danxin of the Liangchan Temple, and did not choose to let the world have sixty years of peace. It was at that moment that Zhao Dun and Zhang Julu, the famous emperors and ministers who could last forever, really parted ways. Zhang Julu could make up his mind to ask for death, and Zhao Dun bit the bullet and let Bi Yaner die. Ask yourself, if I have Tian finally became emperor, faced with so many choices, will he feel more and more guilty? Will he kill Xu Beizhi, Chen Xiliang, Chu Lushan and Yuan Zuozong, will he dismantle the Beiliang frontier army, and let those who only want to die outside the Great Wall The old people on horseback died one by one on the bed in the middle of the misty and rainy Central Plains? In the future, my Xu Fengnian’s descendants, will the men fight each other in order to fight for a chair? Do women marry someone they don't even love?"
Xu Fengnian looked at Xu Yanbing, and asked with a smile: "Uncle Xu, is this considered a woman's benevolence?"
Xu Yanbing nodded, but said: "There is a saying that kindness does not command soldiers, but it does not say that those who command soldiers must be hard-hearted in everything. The four famous generals of the Spring and Autumn Period who are as famous as the generals, whether it is Ye Baikui It’s still Gu Jiantang, who usually leads the army very approachable. Chu Lushan has done a good job in raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, when they are really ruthless, that is, when they are using soldiers.”
Xu Fengnian gently looked to the south. Over there, someone even did a better job than Chu Lushan.
The five people led the horses down the mountain, and the spy named Liu who had been standing far away from the five people was still leading the way. At the foot of the mountain, they happened to meet a large group of quarrymen coming out of the deep mountain. The mountain road paved with gravel was only for three or four people to walk side by side. On the other hand, small stone quarrymen are tied up on wheelbarrows and transported to the outside of the mountain layer by layer, large stones are placed on donkey carts and ox carts, and many quarrymen walk in teams with heavy stones on their backs. Compared with Nanzhao red sandalwood and nanmu, which can be transported by rivers, the transportation of stone materials is even more clumsy. When Xu Fengnian was about to get on his horse and go out of the mountain, he saw a white-haired but tall old quarryman who was exhausted. The long strip of stone behind him suddenly tilted, and the old man fell to the side of the gravel road along with the stone. Fortunately, the old man's body is still considered strong, and he didn't hurt his muscles or bones. He just sat on the ground, a little embarrassed, and smiled wryly. A Lingzhou quarrying inspector wearing armor and saber opened his eyes and closed his eyes. He did not slam down his whip like those government dogs in Liyang, allowing a dark-skinned young quarryman to stop secretly. He stepped down and handed a jug of spirits to the old man. The nearby Beiliang soldiers wanted to stop him, but the lieutenant-like inspector shook his head slightly and stopped the soldiers under his command from coming forward with his eyes.
It's just that when Xu Fengnian approached, seven or eight soldiers all pressed their sabers at the same time, staring at him. This quarry is not open to the public now, and the outsiders who can come in are people who are close to the government and have a clean record in Fushuifang. After all, the Taoist temples in Lantau Dongtian still need incense to support them. The Great War has begun, and more and more people are praying for blessings. Lingzhou, the richest city, is full of natural incense. No matter the rich or the poor, everyone asks for a peace talisman. Xu Beizhi gives it to Taoist temples large and small in Lingzhou An unwritten rule was established. In the past, there was no need to hand over the incense money to the government, but two, three, or four were drawn out of ten miles. For incense money in forbidden places like Lantau Dongtian, because the government made an exception, it had to be drawn four times. Therefore, Xu Beizhi has the "reputation" similar to the popular and picky governor after buying the rice governor. It was the spies surnamed Liu who came forward, and the Lingzhou soldiers who were in charge of quarrying and transporting the stones retreated, but their eyes were still alert.
The old quarryman who had taken a sip of strong wine raised his head and looked at the handsome young man in fur in front of him. He was not very stage-frightened. He was probably a talkative person. He took the initiative to smile and said, "This young man is going to worship It’s not the old man who burns incense in the mountain temple. It’s not that the old man said good things to the Chongshan temple. After getting the lottery in the temple, I really found a good granddaughter-in-law for my old man. Now Lingzhou says that everything is the best except the Wudang Mountain lottery. As far as the marriage lottery is concerned, it is the turn of the Chongshan Temple myself."
When it comes to rising, the extremely hospitable old man raised his hand subconsciously, as if he wanted to invite the young master to have a drink, but quickly withdrew his hand, obviously realizing that this kind of green ants can be bought for a pound for twenty yuan. The quarryman drank expensively, but if he was replaced by a man of such aristocratic family, how could he drink it
Xu Fengnian was already going to take the flagon, but when the old man withdrew his hand, he had no choice but to give up, squatting down with a smile, and soon Xu Yanbing took a flagon from the horse's back and threw it over, Xu Fengnian reached out to catch it Then hand it to the old man, "Old man, drink mine. If you don't mind, take it."
The old man was not too polite. After taking the jug, he unscrewed it and sniffed it vigorously. He laughed and said, "It's all green ant wine with the same name, but the young master's wine is more valuable just by smelling it. My son likes to drink all his life, and if someone gives him wine, he will accept it. But just pour a few sips into my grandson's jug, and I don't want to be ashamed to drink any more."
Sure enough, the old man poured a few taels of wine into his flagon. After pouring the wine, he shook the crude flagon and returned the delicate flagon to Xu Fengnian. Don't be annoyed, although you seem to be a rich man from a big family, you are just living a life, you can't be so lavish, no matter how big your family is, you have to plan carefully. If you don't like to listen, you can be an old man. What a fart, don't ask for the wine back."
That dark young man was a little nervous. Compared with his grandpa, who has been dealing with stones in the mountains all his life, he has been to more counties and counties in Lingzhou, and he knows more about the severity. He has also seen many angry horses in fresh clothes. Dude, I have heard many rumors about the domineering general seed brother. Although everyone in Lingzhou now knows that there are many Jinyi Youqi, who have imprisoned many children of rich families in one go, but this young quarryman is still quite nervous when he really faces this kind of peer with a high family background at close range.
Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "The person who is in charge must have such a way to be in charge. By the way, old man, I heard that each person in your Dayushan quarry has a daily quarrying volume of 80 catties. Twenty-five miles of mountain road, but it is not too strenuous, why does the old man have to carry a hundred catties of heavy stones at a time?"
The young quarryman didn't want his grandfather to say too much to outsiders, so he reminded him: "Grandpa, we are leaving."
With the help of his grandson, the old man squatted down and fastened the cowhide rope binding the stones again. After standing up slowly, he turned his head to Xu Fengnian and said with a big grin: "Master Inspector has such a rule, but you don't know it. The field also said that after completing the task of 120 catties, if you carry ten catties more stones, you will be rewarded with one penny. How can I carry an extra four or five hundred catties, which is forty or fifty Wen, which is great for our family. The old man still has some strength, and his sons and grandchildren are also filial, so I only let the old man carry it once. , This is not just thinking about carrying an extra twenty or thirty catties of stones on a trip, and walking slower, but it would be good to earn two or three pennies more. The checkout at the government has always been straightforward, so we are motivated to work. "
Xu Fengnian smiled and nodded.
Maybe the old man drank a few sips of good wine, his mind was still unfinished, and he smiled honestly, and finally said to Xu Fengnian: "But I am quite old, and it doesn't matter if I earn the two or three pennies. I just heard that the prince wants to To build a big city in the north of Liangzhou to fight the barbarians of the North Mang, the old man thought that although he would never have the chance to go to the north in this life, he could earn two or three copper coins by carrying an extra twenty or thirty catties every day while he had some energy left , I also felt that when the city was built in the future, maybe the extra stone that I carried on my back could just happen to be able to carry a few more arrows from the northern barbarians. Thinking of this, the old man felt at ease. Many young children in the village They stopped quarrying stones with their father. After seeing many beautiful scenery in Lingzhou, their hearts grew bigger. They disliked the futility of mining rocks, so they all went to be frontier soldiers. We old men carried tens of thousands of catties of stones. Build the city earlier, they might be able to come back a few more for the New Year."
The old man paused suddenly, looked at the distant sky, and murmured softly: "I heard from the officials and soldiers in the quarry that half of the 300,000 steles behind the prince's house must be made of our big fish." Stones from the mountains. Those old guys who have children at home who joined the army all said that if someone in the family can’t come back one day, and they want to engrave their names on those steles, then it’s good to use stones from our hometown.”
The old man had already started to move forward, when the voice of the rich young man suddenly came from behind him, "Old man, wait a moment."
Then the young quarryman was surprised to see that the man took off his fur coat and handed it to the tall woman in white clothes who was as tall as a man but looked like a fairy. Like a son who can do rough work, he is calm and relaxed while carrying more than one hundred catties of stone. Behind the man, the four people with extraordinary auras walked leisurely, which made that guy... a bit out of his mind? What the hell is going on? The dark-skinned young stonemason was a little distracted for a while. Could it be that the dudes in Beiliang are so easy to talk to? On the contrary, the old stonemason is more "at ease" than his grandson. He has lived to be over seventy years old. Although the old man has been dealing with stones that cannot speak in his life, perhaps the longer he spends with dead things, the more clearly he can see people's hearts. Black and white, the old man didn't know if the young man who delivered the wine was a good guy, but he believed that at least he wasn't a bad guy. As for why the young man next to him would help carry the stone out of the mountain, the old man couldn't figure it out and didn't bother to think about it, just like the quarrymen of Dayu Mountain passed down from generation to generation, there are caves in the mountains, hidden pools in the caves, and spirits like fish and snakes in the pools It's just that no one has seen it with their own eyes. Nowadays, young people with more and more vision don't believe it, but the older generation is still willing to believe it.
After the group came out of the mountain, the old man who chatted with that strange handsome guy all the way had already patted his chest and said that he would introduce him to the prettiest girl in the village. Make a matchmaker, this thing will be done! It's a pity that Brother Jun said that he has a wife, which makes the old man very regretful. Finally, after unloading the stone, the young man said something inexplicable to the old man, saying that he would try his best. The old man didn't understand what he was saying, so he nodded with a smile.
Tie Mudie'er thought it was nothing more than Xu Fengnian, the King of Beiliang, who was full of food, bought people's hearts with those quarrymen, and it was inevitable that the spy from Lingzhou "unintentionally" revealed his identity. Just like that, they went out of the mountain directly, and even the spies were kept in the dark from the beginning to the end, and they didn't know their true identities at all. In the end, Tiemu Dier could only think that the young vassal king was really boring, otherwise it wouldn't make sense.
Wuqi came to Lantau Cave, but it turned out that Siqi left the mountain first. The tall woman who teamed up with Xu Yanbing and caused fatal trouble to Tie Mudieer and his party said she wanted to go back to the mountain for some reason.
Tan Tai calmly rode into the mountain alone, and finally led the horse to the halfway up the mountainside of another side peak of Lantau Cave, but did not enter the cave, and stood waiting at the entrance of the cave. In the twilight, night and morning, she finally waited for two Taoist priests from other places .
A young Taoist priest and a young Taoist priest, the Taoist robes are obviously different from the Dayu Mountain Taoist attire often seen by quarrymen.
The young Taoist saluted Tantai calmly and gently: "The poor Taoist Wudang Li Yufu, I have met Senior Tantai."
The Xiaodao boy also followed his master, saluting in a dignified way: "Xiaodao Wudang Yu Fu, I have met Senior Tantai."
Tantai calmly looked at the pair of master and apprentice who walked out of Wudang Mountain and then into Lantau Cave, and said indifferently: "Headmaster Li also saw a great opportunity?"
Li Yufu smiled and said, "Poverty Daoist, I would also like to thank Senior for watching over me."
Tantai Jingping seems to be standing at the entrance of the cave, but in fact he is blocking the entrance of the cave. His tone is not very kind, "This relationship originated from our master and apprentice. We watched the white snake go down the river and transform into a jiao, and then watched it walk along the river. Upstream. Now it's us again... it's him who pulls the vision."
That young Taoist boy said solemnly: "Everyone can do the great road under their feet."
Tantai calmly looked at this child who pretended to be an expert, and smiled.
Xiao Daotong blushed slightly when people stared at him, and soon lost his momentum, and whispered: "Master said it."
The young Taoist priest currently in charge of Wudang Mountain had warm eyes, raised his hand and touched his apprentice's head, "You said it."
Looking at the pair of master and apprentice, a complex look flashed in Tantai Pingping's eyes, and he said after hiding it: "Difei Mountain, beside the Guangling River, you also formed a relationship above the first line, but..."
Li Yufu waved his hand lightly, and said with a smile: "Sect Master Tantai can rest assured, we didn't come to Lantau Cave to fight for anything, but Pindao wanted to take Yu Fuduo for a walk."
Tantai shook his head calmly and said: "If your Taoism doesn't fight, it will be a big fight."
Tan Taiping calmly looked at the unhurried young Wudang head teacher, and said slowly: "Before the Great Qin Dynasty, the heavens and humans were always respected. You Taoist sages were the first to put forward the theory that heaven and earth are not benevolent. My master once commented, 'The true meaning of this, Heaven and earth have no kindness or malice towards people. It can be said that there is a thunderbolt in heaven and earth. The less educated people of later generations can treat everything in the world as a dog based on their preferences. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Confucian saints advocated human nature. The original goodness and the interaction between heaven and man, but its roots tend to return to the same kind of heaven and man. Huang Sanjia called it "pushing the clouds to see the moon" instead of "opening the clouds to see the sun". As for Buddhism, it is a foreign teaching, so don't go say it."
Tantai Jingping's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he stared at Wudang headmaster, "You, Li Yufu, want to make decisions for the common people of the world on your own will, do you really dare to say that you are not wrong?"
Li Yufu calmly said: "Doing things yourself, doing the right thing, and doing the wrong thing are more reasonable than 'others' asking you to do good or bad things."
Li Yufu no longer looked at the head of the Avalokitesvara Sect, but looked up at the sky, as if talking to the sky, "Heaven and earth are born, there is no sorrow or joy, and heaven and earth are dead, carefree, in this life and death, how can you control it?" Those "superior people" who have already transcended life and death? Born in the world and died in the world, they should not ask how to live forever, but should ask why they were born, and how to live more... Confucianism's courtesy, Taoism's purity, or The compassion of Buddhism. In the hundred years of self-questioning in this life, some people will gain and some will lose. After all, there will be people who know themselves, respect themselves, strengthen themselves, stand on their own, and have that freedom. Although life is short, it grows by itself. live."
Tantai quietly stared at this young Taoist priest who dared to "ask the sky", smiled helplessly, gave way to the road at the entrance of the cave, and stepped forward to leave.
It's like there is something, no matter how cherished it is, but if she can't have it alone, then she simply won't look at it.
Xiao Daotong politely bowed to her back and said, "Thank you senior."
Tantai looked back calmly, and asked with a smile: "Lu Dongxuan? Qi Xuanframe? Hong Xixiang?"
The little Taoist was stunned for a moment, "Senior, my name is Yu Fu."
Li Yufu took Xiao Daotong into the cave, lit the torches he had prepared long ago, walked zigzagging for half an hour, and finally came to a deep green pool, put the torch on the mountain wall, and then took out some from his luggage An oil pot and a simple oil lamp, sitting cross-legged, bending over to light the lamp, Yu Fu also sat down.
After waiting for a long time, Xiao Daotong did not see the slightest movement in the mirror-like pool, so he could only look at the wick and asked wonderingly, "Master, what are we going to do?"
Li Yufu laughed softly: "When you're bored, just recite the classics."
Xiao Daotong let out a groan, and began to recite the "Catalogue of Bead Bags". After half an hour, his mouth was really dry, and he turned his head with a bitter face.
Li Yufu said softly: "Take a rest when you are tired."
Xiaodaotong smiled happily.
Afterwards, Li Yufu added oil to the oil lamp. Yu Fu, who had eaten some dried dates to satisfy his hunger, was already drowsy. Li Yufu asked the child to rest and nap on his lap, and slowly fell asleep.
Li Yufu also began to close his eyes and meditate.
The surface of the deep pool rippled lightly.
Then jumped out a small fish with half red body and snow white body, the shape of carp could be vaguely seen, with extremely long whiskers.
It swam to the edge of the pool, its whiskers swayed softly and its scales were shining brightly like a dragon's armor, shining brightly.
Li Yufu opened his eyes and said with a smile, "Farewell by the Guangling River, we meet again."
It shakes its whiskers and white tail in a cheerful manner.
Li Yufu said softly: "I am willing to protect you from the river and enter the sea, and help you transform the dragon. If there is a severe drought in the future, will you be willing to spread the clouds and rain for the world? If there is a king who is unkind, will you be willing to warn the heavens? If you consciously If you are lonely, will you still not make waves? If you are no longer invincible, will you live in peace with the world?"
It stands still.
Li Yufu smiled and said: "Beiliang, the land of your dragon prosperity, you don't have to worry about him here. Heaven and earth work together with the will of the people."
It wagged its tail slightly, broke through the water, and suspended above the pool.
Li Yufu gently pinched his fingers, "In three days, you and I will go down the mountain and enter the river together, at the mouth of the Guangling River, and then we will say goodbye."
It seemed to nod its head, and slowly dived back into the deep pool.
Li Yufu sighed slightly, looked down at the little Taoist boy who was drooling from the corner of his mouth, and listened to the child's babble, murmured: "Little uncle, when you open your mind, before Li Yuaxe cuts off the world, I will ask her to come back. Then After that, there will be no afterlife.”
