"Oh? Why?"
Although Lin Jue thought he was destined to be with him, he still asked.
"Because, because I want to become powerful, I want to live forever, I want to imagine that I can fly in the sky like a god and get rid of demons and monsters!"
This is a common idea that people these days and a common answer.
When I went to the streets of the capital, I found someone at the village at the foot of the mountain, and asked him if he wanted to practice Taoism and become an immortal. I was probably thinking about it. I asked him the reason, and I was probably all these.
The most is just a "free and easy".
Maybe it’s a boy of this age who doesn’t know what freedom is.
But Xu Yi said, lowering his head, but another sentence:
"Also, I have no food at home, no wild vegetables, no food. I,
I might be cold and starved to death. My uncle told me to ask my cousin to live with me. My aunt told me again that it was to drive me out and rob my house. I wanted to learn magic. If I learn magic, I would not be cold to death or starve to death wherever I go."
The very ordinary saying "I may be cold to death and starve" is a dilemma faced by many people in this troubled time.
Although a boy is not as sad as adults and does not have so many ties, so he doesn't know what freedom is, but he is trapped by hunger and cold, facing the most basic, biggest and most direct dilemma. His mood to transcend it is extremely strong. In comparison, the sorrow that literati and poets want to throw away after eating and drinking, and the ties that they want to get rid of, seem soft and powerless.
The previous sentence is not surprising.
The latter sentence is very unusual.
It seems extremely sincere and simple, but it is not something that an ordinary ten-year-old boy can think of, nor is it that an ordinary ten-year-old boy can say, but he thought of it and said it out.
Although he lowered his head and blushed, his face was full of embarrassment and inferiority.
Sincerity is always better than everything.
Just like the junior sister some time ago.
When you are not at that angle, you may feel unreasonable. Why are the gods willing to exchange Thousand-year-old snow lotus with you because of your good character and sincere enough? But only after changing the position can you fully understand the gods on Tianshan Mountain, and the gods and immortals really do this.
Otherwise, what else would the gods want you to do?
At this time, the young man buried his head and dared not raise it up, afraid of being rejected, and did not know how to face such rejection.
The rest of the people in the snow also held their breath and did not dare to speak. They looked at both Lin Zhenren and the boy.
They seemed to have seen something.
Zhenren Lin is an immortal.
If Zhenren Lin promised to accept him as his disciple, he would become the first disciple accepted by Zhenren Lin, a disciple under the Immortal's throne, and a great disciple of the Immortal Cave.
It's not easy at this moment.
And this will also be the first time in their lives that they have witnessed the immortals accepting disciples.
But a gentle voice sounded:
"I met you in the mountains, and I had a fate. I met you many times and had a great fate. Just so happens, I think you have the talent for practicing Taoism and are willing to make a fate with you."
Just hearing this sentence, Wan Xinrong and others took a secret breath, looked at each other, and looked at the boy again.
The boy's whole body froze.
I heard the Taoist's voice sound again: "But it's not that easy for me to accept disciples."
The boy with his head down trembled again.
yes-
This is a god in the capital!
If he wants to accept disciples, in the county town at the foot of the mountain, in the distant capital, no matter how smart the students are, the descendants of the family of a senior official or rich man, I don’t know how long they will line up, so why should I do it?
There are many rumors and stories in the world. In the story, whenever the gods and immortals accept disciples, in addition to fate, they often have extraordinary tests. How can they do it?
"Why are we so nervous? Didn't we get along very easily in the past?" Lin Jue smiled and shook his head, and continued, "I am a flower lover. I just moved here and think everything is good here, but there are fewer colors in the mountains, which seems too monotonous. If you want to be my disciple, you must first go to all parts of the mountains, go to villages in the distance, or buy them at the market. In short, find saplings, whether you are planting or cuttings,
Anyway, you have to plant the nearby green mountains. The tops and ends of the mountains, the rivers and the forests, and the flowers will be colorful when the flowering season is blooming."
"ah?"
The boy raised his head in surprise, not expecting it to be so simple.
"Don't be surprised, don't think it's easy. This mountain is not small, and I want to plant not many flowers, such as wax plum, peach, plum, apricot pear, macadamia, cherry blossom, magnolia, and locust trees. You should plant the nearby mountains in a mess." Lin Jue said to him, "No need to choose big trees, small trees, and saplings. You don't have to plant too densely. You can't cut down the original trees to make a living. You can just plant one in those empty spaces where there were no trees. But you shouldn't be lazy, you can't be careless or perfunctory."
"I-I must!"
"Since you agree, there is an empty house here, you can live here for the time being." Lin Jue pointed to Fang Xinrong and others next to him, "These are the people who protected me when I became true and attained enlightenment. You must be more respectful to them. They can cook food every day, you can eat with them, and go find a tree when you have time."
"good!"
Although the boy was a little disbelief, he agreed.
This is similar to his job of chopping wood.
The boy turned his head and looked.
This mountain is indeed very high and the forests are wide at the foot of the mountain, but as long as you don’t think about this mountain, don’t think about this large land, just those trees, you will always plant them all.
Just like the mountain outside, such a big mountain, wasn’t it cut down all the branches and small trees by itself?
"It is important to know that plants and trees also have life, and everything has spirituality. Cutting down trees is the opposite of planting trees. It is easy to cut them off, but it is difficult to plant them. You must be careful and have to be careful." Lin Jue said, "Otherwise, as long as there is a tree that has not been planted, you will have to wait for a long time to discover, and waste a lot of time, and at worst, you will be in vain to the life of a tree.
Since they are no longer a chopping wood, they don’t make a living by doing this, so they should respect them a little.”
"I remember."
"Since you have read books and can recognize words, I will give you another book." Lin Jue said to him, taking out a book, "Recite it every day, and after you can recite it, you will change to copy it every day. No matter how skilled you are, you should not be perfunctory when you recite it every time."
The boy took it and saw three big characters in the book, "Yin and Yang Classic".
Several people's voices came from behind:
"I am a surname Tao. If I don't have paper or pen, I can come here to get it."
"My surname is Wan and my name is Xinrong. Today it is my turn to cook. Tell me what you like to eat."
"My name is Cai Lingyu, did you bring a quilt?"
"Little man, give it a hoe."
Several people have seen that although Zhenren wants him to plant flowers, as long as nothing unexpected happens, the person in front of him is already a disciple of Zhenren Lin.
Only the young men didn't know, answered them one by one, took the hoe, walked into the mountains while thinking, muttering.
Want all kinds of flowers?
The seeds that need to be staggered are to plant them in a mixed manner?
Therefore, we must distinguish which tree is and what kind of tree, what flowers are, and we cannot plant them together.
This is a bit difficult. ·
But these are the things that happened later.
What’s important now is to find the flowers and trees.
There must be many wild fruits and wild trees in the mountains, and there are many mountain flowers, but now it is cold and the mountains are rarely blooming. The trees are either bare or snow-covered with ice crystals. As a little woodcutter, he can only distinguish between dead and living trees at most. Where can he tell whether it is a flower or what kind of flower is it?
Only on the way here, I saw a wax plum tree.
He remembers that kind of flower.
Decided to find it first.
Not long after, the boy had already walked away.
Before he knew it, another person appeared behind Lin Jue, a female Taoist in a Taoist robe:
"This kid is pretty good."
"Um."
"Senior brother, do you think my Ziyun will cultivate the road here first, or will your disciple plant a mountain flower here first?"
"Guess what these do?"
"Then let's guess." The young junior sister walked up to him, "Is it true that my Ziyun first cultivated the "Stone Method" to great success, or is this child learning the "flower blooms in an instant"?"
"Haha! The junior sister is very good at teaching her apprentices!"
"Don't my senior brother also practice planting trees?"
"Ha ha--"
"What do you think of senior brother?"
"Disciples have a fate with disciples."
Lin Jue sat cross-legged and said with a smile.
I chatted for a few more words and stopped talking about the magic.
Art is an extension of Tao. While Lin Jue taught the Dharma, he also quoted the truth behind the Tao.
The sound spread far away in the snowy days, and it was a bit mysterious. Some monsters in the mountains heard it. Although they didn't dare to get close, they also appeared from afar. Listening carefully, the birds and beasts were also attracted, but they were much simpler. They came here boldly, stopped by the snow, landed on the branches, and listened with their ears.
Xu Yi is down-to-earth and focused.
The immortal asked him to read the scriptures every day, and he would read the scriptures every day. The immortal asked him to find trees and plant flowers. He would go to the mountains to look for flowers every day, even if he couldn't find them, regardless of wind and rain.
For him, there is a small cottage for him to live in. Although it is small but not airtight, it is warmer than at home.
There is something to eat when you wake up in the morning. Not only do you have to worry about being hungry, but you also have meat and rice for every meal. Such days are something he had to get by dreaming and fantasy before, but now they come easily. Sometimes it really makes him feel that he is dreaming, or as the story says, accidentally chopping wood in the mountains, he accidentally encountered monsters and magical creatures, was fascinated, and had hallucinations.
Even if you go to the mountains to find trees, dig trees, and transplant them every day, it is not more tiring than chopping wood, it just takes more effort.
Fortunately, one thing he does is one thing, and he is dedicated to it.
Inside and outside Fengshan, various mountain villages are searching everywhere.
After searching for plum blossoms, I looked for camellia again.
I often fall by stepping on the air, roll down from the snow slope, and often hit beasts in the mountains, facing the birds of prey, and sometimes even encounter monsters. I was so scared that I ran back and gasped.
Sometimes I stopped in front of the village, bent down and listened quietly to the elders in the village talking about the trees in front of me, how to distinguish, what characteristics they have, how to plant them, what preferences they have for soil temperature and moisture, and what insects they will grow. Sometimes I also sat on the futon in the snow, and listened to Fang Xinrong and others tell him where there are trees in the mountains and what kind of trees look like in winter. I listened seriously.
I gradually felt that this was completely different from his job of chopping wood.
Lin Jue often looked at him in the attic.
He became more and more satisfied with this first son.
And this has nothing to do with talent.
In his spare time, he meditated and practiced, drank tea and performed, or took a nap, sat without thinking about anything, or rode on the clouds to visit other immortals, which was so uncomfortable.
Suddenly one day, Taoist Qingxia, who lives on the Nanshan Mountain, came to visit and invited him to watch the fun together:
"Fellow Daoist Lin! The God of Fuchi in the North is fighting against the three true lords above Qingyuan, hurry up! Come and take a look with me!"
Once he was free, Lin Jue fully realized the feeling of these immortals.
I am idle and bored, so I naturally want to join in the fun. I practice without any confusion and do not confuse the world, so I naturally have no scruples. No matter which side of the fight or who fights whom, I can watch it without any burden.
And that floating pool god is really interested.
"Just about to go out! Let me clean up!"
Chapter completed!
