The green bamboo tree suddenly straightened up. It turned out that A Liang jumped to the ground, stretched out his hand to pull the Qidun Mountain landowner up, and said with a smile: "My gambling products are not good, but your gambling luck is very good. ”
Young Tutu’s face was as white as snow and his brow was gloomy. Although he had managed to save the remaining half of the bamboo forest after the disaster, when he saw the white python with its head broken off in the distance, Young Tutu was stunned. The land can't help but have mixed feelings. They have been living next to each other for hundreds of years. Although they are evil neighbors and have constant friction, they are generally peaceful. At least there has never been a life-and-death fight. Today, the snake and python should be about to embark on the Yangguan of cultivation. Da Dao, it happened that at this time, his head was blown to pieces with a sharp sword energy. One can imagine the shock to him.
The young Tutu sighed, bowed slumpedly, and said softly: "Just as the seniors thought, a philistine like me has a low-spirited temperament and has not worked for three days, but now I am really a I'm full after just a beating, and I hope that Senior A Liang will take pity on the poor guy. I'm really scared out of my wits, and I don't have any courage anymore. Next, Senior A Liang just says, and the villain will definitely obey."
Ah. Liang did not pretend to be mysterious. He looked down at the empty green bamboo scabbard, nodded and said: "You choose a better old bamboo, I will replace it with a bamboo knife, treat it as a gift from your friend. Besides, there are so many inexplicable drops." There are so many bamboos on the ground, it’s not good to waste them.”
The corners of Wei Bo’s lips twitched, and he could only curse in his heart, Senior A Liang, you are so unconscionable, A Liang. Great uncle.
A Liang rubbed his chin, "My friend made a loss-making deal and indirectly helped you win half of the bamboo forest. You must be kind and repay kindness when you are kind. What do you think?"
p>Wei Bo smiled bitterly and said: "It should be so, it is only natural."
Chen Pingan ran to the body of the white python with half a hatchet, and cut off the remaining flying wing, which was crystal clear. It is crystal clear, as long as a person's arm. When touched in the hand, it is as cold as snow. Under the sunlight, bursts of radiance continue to flash. A Liang had previously chatted that the most valuable items on this white python, apart from the snake gallbladder, were the flying wings, which were priceless and had no market price. Although the other python skins, muscles and bones were also rare and valuable, they were not as valuable as the first two. There is a world of difference in their preciousness.
Chen Pingan hung the hatchet on his waist and trotted towards the bamboo forest. He saw young Tu Tu being bent over and half squatting, pulling out a green bamboo tree with both hands. The roots of the bamboo whip are intertwined, and the whole body is moved by the pull. As the green bamboo is pulled out of the mud, the nearby soil is splashed up by the bamboo whip.
After seeing the straw-shoe boy who "killed people and stole gold belts", the sweating young Tu Tu swallowed subconsciously. Then he gently put the green bamboo in his arms back into the soil, lowered his head and looked around. Finally, he selected a piece of green bamboo whip as thick as a child's arm. He sighed, raised his head and looked at Chen Pingan, asked with a forced smile: "Can you lend me the hatchet?"
Chen Pingan approached and handed half of the hatchet to Young Tutu. The latter held the hatchet in his hand, took a deep breath, cut off the bamboo whip, and handed it to A Liang.Liang shook his head and smiled: "You can make a bamboo sword like the one I used before, and when you leave the border of Qidun Mountain, just give it to me along with the white donkey."
Wei Bo naturally didn't agree. Dare not agree. When he returned the hatchet to Chen Pingan later, he said sincerely: "What a sharp blade."
Chen Pingan took the hatchet, thought about it, and said, "You want If you want, I can give it to you. Anyway, this half-hatched knife is not suitable for driving through mountains, and it will be of no use to me."
Wei Baoqian smiled and said: "A gentleman does not take advantage of others."
A Liang said with a smile: "I want it but I'm too embarrassed to ask for it for free, so why not buy it? It's a fair trade, right?"
Wei Bo looked "suddenly enlightened" , stood up, rubbed the dirt off his hands, and smiled at Chen Pingan and said: "If you are a mountain woodcutter who often goes into the mountains, you will know that if a bamboo forest is too dense, it will be detrimental to the growth of bamboo. If the density is appropriate, the bamboo forest can It was growing, so some had to be cut off, and the really valuable part of this bamboo forest was the bamboo whip that was underground and connected to the mountain roots, instead of the bamboo poles that were on the ground. So I took this opportunity to borrow a bamboo knife from Senior A Liang and cut it off. I originally thought of using some extra bamboo poles to build a small bamboo building for relaxing and enjoying the scenery in my spare time."
Young Ditu said more and more smoothly, "Now I have broken the bamboo knife of Senior A Liang. , I am ashamed to say that I have coveted the half-cut hatchet in your hand since the first time I saw it. Otherwise, I would also make bamboo knives, and the bamboo building would still be built. The bamboo knife could be handed over to A Liang early, but it is just a small bamboo building. I am afraid it will be too late. Some skills have been completed. When the black snake goes to Luopo Mountain in Longquan County, I will accompany it. This will prevent it from causing any trouble when it goes all the way north, and at the same time, it can carry these bamboos. When I arrive at Luopo Mountain, I will Find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and pleasant scenery to build a bamboo building for you."
Chen Pingan looked at A Liang, and the man in the bamboo hat smiled and explained: "There are ten most important fairy bamboos in the Bamboo Sea Cave. Bamboo has ten virtues, and the immortal bamboo corresponds to them. The ancestors of this bamboo are the descendants of the 'Fen Yong Bamboo'. These disciples and disciples in the bamboo forest here have also benefited from it. If it is built into a bamboo building, they will be surrounded by it all year round. Among them, the practice of meditation is of great benefit to pure warriors or military monks."
Wei Bo quickly agreed: "Yes, the bamboo forests here are all the descendants of the brave immortal bamboo. It is recorded in the history books. "The power of a soldier is like breaking a bamboo, and it will be solved after a few knots", which coincides with this meaning. Therefore, practicing in the bamboo tower must be extremely nourishing to the soul."
As Chen Ping'an was about to speak, Aliang was quick to speak. Stepping forward, he put his arms around the young man's shoulders and walked out of the bamboo forest. "It's hard to refuse such hospitality. The guest just left as he pleased."
Chen Pingan whispered: "I haven't given you the hatchet yet. "
A Liang said carelessly: "Go back and give him the half of the blade in the basket."
The man in the bamboo hat did not forget to turn back and remind him: "Then. I don’t want the unformed white python’s guts. It’s dripping with blood. It’s too scary. Give it to the black snake along with the python meat to devour it.Yes, in this way, even if it loses a pair of flying wings, it can still increase its cultivation for two to three hundred years. This is our sincerity. Remember to ask it to practice honestly after it settles in Luopo Mountain. ”
Finally, A Liang reached out to the empty spot and pointed at the lost young man, “Take care of yourself.” ”
Young Tutu stood on the edge of the bamboo forest, looking at the backs of the two people. The mountain breeze in the forest passed through the green trees and clumps of red flowers, bringing with it the refreshing fragrance of flowers and trees. They were as beautiful as a beauty. The young man is holding a tiger green bamboo stick that symbolizes his identity. His white clothes are fluttering and his big sleeves are fluttering. The previous shock, fear, anxiety and hesitation are swept away by the breeze, replaced by a solemn look that is consistent with the identity of the gods in the place. Solemnly.
He looked around and sighed softly: "Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, but that's all. Thanks to Senior A Liang for his unintentional advice, which helped me untie my knot and break my demonic barriers.
The young Tutu closed his eyes, with a warm smile on his lips, and murmured: "Since ancient times, famous mountains have treated saints. It doesn't matter if the saints don't come. I can concentrate on becoming a saint." ”
When he opened his eyes, there was a light golden earring in the handsome man’s ear. The delicate ring swayed slightly with the mountain wind, making the young land look like the god of the mountain.
The two returned to the water pool along the same route. Instead of running as fast as they came, they chose to walk and chat tacitly.
“A Liang, the black snake will really eat the remains of the white python. Corpse? Aren’t they partners who have depended on each other for hundreds of years? ”
“The black snake that aspires to become a dragon and transform into a dragon, of course, can prey on it. Not only is it a genus of dragons, in fact, all mountain spirits, ghosts, monsters and monsters all rely on food as their top priority, but they only live in the mountains and forests. The dragons, snakes and pythons in Ze are especially cannibalistic. This is similar to the fact that two tigers cannot tolerate each other in one mountain. The reason why the black snake keeps the white python is that it has enlightened its mind and increased its spiritual intelligence. It may not have the idea of waiting for it to form a pill before having a full meal. By the way, if you want to see the black snake swallowing the white python, we can turn back. ”
“Forget it. ”
“Having said that, don’t blame me for making an independent decision for you and agreeing to let the black snake eat the python gallbladder. Since it will go to Luopo Mountain to help you control your luck, then a python gallbladder will be taken from you.” If you sell it, no matter how high the price is, it won't be as cost-effective as Black Snake turning into an ink dragon as early as possible. "
"I'm actually very curious as to why you wanted to kill the white python. Why didn't you wait for me to stop you? After taming the white python, it would be a good deal to let it go to Baolu Mountain or Caiyun Peak. Are you afraid that I, A Liang, will die without saving me? "
"How is it possible, Aliang, I can trust you. "
"What about you? "
"A-Liang, before I answer your question, I also want to know if you saw that I found...those three acupoints when I was sparring with Zhu He? And the truth inside the acupoint? "
"To be honest, I knew from the beginning that there was something weird and mysterious in those three acupoints, but it was embarrassing to say it. Even I couldn't see clearly. I could only guess that there were three hidden things. There are three specific types of sword energy that are meant by Taoism.I'm sure, of course, if I want to force myself to see the scene inside the Qi Mansion, I won't hesitate to harm your body and energy. The demeanor of a master. ”
“I understand. Aliang, did you know that there is an archway in our town with four plaques on it? "
"I knew this happened. Qi Jingchun mentioned it to me back then, but I didn't remember the content and had long forgotten it. "
"There is a plaque with four words written on it, don't ask for help from outside. There is a person of the same age next door to me who studies a lot. He said that this is the Zen teaching of Buddhism, which means to warn everyone to focus on practicing Buddhism and not to seek anything from outsiders outside Buddhism. I thought it made sense at first, but then I was burning charcoal on the mountain. When I had nothing to do, I was just bored and thinking about it alone. I felt that for me, whether I burn incense and worship Buddha or pay homage to Bodhisattva, I have to do it myself first. Do whatever you can, and if you still can't achieve your wish, there is really no other way. If you ask again, the Bodhisattva will nod and agree. Otherwise, why would a Bodhisattva help you, right, A-Liang? ”
“If you seek Buddha, seek yourself first. "
"Yes, yes, that's what I mean! "
"Well, if you explain it this way, it barely makes sense. But I have to tell you one thing. Even if I dig a little bit from between my fingernails, my family background is thicker than yours. So you think it's troublesome for me, so you would rather lose a sword energy? In fact, for me, Ah Liang, it was just a small matter of casually drawing the sword out of its sheath. You have to calculate this account. ”
“That can’t be the case! "
"Huh? ”
“Old Yao, who taught me how to make porcelain, was rarely willing to talk to me, but he spoke very seriously twice, which I remember very clearly. The first time was when I was an apprentice kiln worker. He said that you could learn to make porcelain from me, but if you dare to be lazy even once, you will get out of the kiln. The second time I went back into the mountains with him, he said that it was okay to go into the mountains with him to look for soil, but no matter if you broke your leg or something, as long as you dare to cry in front of me once, you should never go into the mountains again. "
"Where is this? Chen Ping'an, what do you mean? ”
“Then let me put it another way, Aliang, do you like to sleep in?” ”
“Nonsense, you don’t like it? ”
“I like it too, but you may not believe it when I tell you. From the first day when I was a kiln worker’s apprentice, until today, I have never slept in once. When should I get up? I got up as soon as I opened my eyes, so I didn't even have to sleep. ”
“In such a big circle, what do you want to say? Are you bullying me, Ah Liang, for not being a scholar? ”
“What I mean is that for anything you feel is not good, just don’t do it for the first time, don’t do it once, and don’t take even a small step out, otherwise you will suffer a loss when you look back. The one who endures hardship is himself. Just like me, if I was lazy once, I would definitely not be able to become a kiln worker apprentice, let alone enter the mountains. So how could I be where I am today? Maybe I am now with those thousands of small townsHe is almost young and strong, he goes into the mountains to open roads, cuts trees and builds bridges, and gets some copper coins every day, and that's it. How could there be five mountains? Do you know how much these five mountains are worth, Aliang? Ah Liang, if you have a chance in the future, you must go to the top of my mountain to see..."
"Stop it, stop it! Chen Ping'an, are you going around in such a big circle with me just to show off how rich you are? "
"A-Liang, you really haven't read a book. "
"..."
"A-Liang, if there really is an extra bamboo building in my Luolu Mountain in the future, can you help me give it a name? "
"'A Liang is very fierce', how about it? Is the momentum enough? Why, do you dislike being the guest of honor and overshadowing the king of mountains like you? Okay, then I'll change it to a more subtle one, and call it 'Mengzilou'. I, Alian, have sacrificed a lot, are you still not satisfied? ”
“A Liang, I suddenly think it’s good that the bamboo building has no name. "
The man in the bamboo hat rolled his eyes.
Chen Pingan laughed loudly, "Don't worry, just call it Mengzilou. "
A Liang suddenly turned around and asked: "Do you want to learn to sword? "
Chen Ping'an shook his head and said: "I don't want to think about it for the time being. "
A Liang smiled knowingly and said: "Are you afraid of being distracted? Delayed in boxing practice? "
Chen Ping'an sighed and nodded.
A Liang knew why the young man sighed. At the top of Qidun Mountain, the young man killed Zhu, the maid of the Li family, in order to stop the white python. Lu, he had squandered all the money he had accumulated through hard work and practice boxing. If he was like a small family with a little money on hand, he was suddenly knocked back to his original shape, and his family was once again stripped bare. The windows were all dilapidated and leaking, and the scene was bleak.
Fortunately, walking on piles strengthened the body and was an urgent way to survive, while setting up sword furnaces could nourish the soul and achieve a breakthrough in the Battle of Shiping. , which paved the way for the young man to be able to accurately find the acupoints where the three sword qi are hidden when he and Zhu He competed in martial arts.
A Liang joked: "It's so powerful if it's missing a ray. The life-saving sword energy, do you feel distressed? "
Chen Ping'an said without hesitation: "I don't feel bad, I finally got rid of the breath that I had accumulated in my heart. Very happy now. "
A Liang smiled and said: "Tell me about it. ”
Chen Pingan looked forward, “I am willing to reason with others, and I can let others listen to my reasoning. This feels good!” I used to practice martial arts to strengthen my body, or just to survive, but now I feel that my goal can be further and higher! ”
