Dong Lizi looked at it for a long time, tears welling up in his eyes, but he quickly put it back. Wu Sheng thought for a moment that he had seen it wrong.
"Senior?" Wu Sheng tried to remind him that it was time to answer the question. If you have seen it, you have seen it. If you have not seen it, you have not seen it. Is there a need to think about it for so long?
Donglizi seemed to be waking up from a dream, and murmured: "The Book from Heaven... This is the Book from Heaven..."
Wu Sheng was greatly excited: "Senior, have you seen this before?"
Dong Lizi asked: "Where did you see it?"
Wu Sheng said: "My friend once traveled to a wild land and saw something under a cliff somewhere unknown, and it was carved on a stone wall."
Dong Lizi asked: "Besides this, is there anything else?"
Wu Sheng said: "He just met this one."
Donglizi asked: "Where is the wilderness?"
Wu Sheng said: "My friend said that going eight hundred miles into the wilderness, there is an unknown cliff somewhere..."
"Do you remember the way?"
"My friend entered the wilderness again and has not shown up yet. I don't know if he was trapped or..."
"Little bastard, can I stop being your friend?"
"Hey? Old thief, you told me you were my friend!"
Dong Lizi stared at Wu Sheng for a long time, and Wu Sheng stared back with a sneer on his face, his big eyes glaring at him, but finally there was no spark from the collision, so they each took a step back.
"What is the Book of Heaven? I took it out and you don't give me an explanation? Are you reading in vain? Are you taking advantage of me? Hurry up and tell me!"
"This is the heavenly book secretly stored in Jixia Academy. Every word contains the principles of heaven and earth. Even Jixia Academy itself, only the senior officials above know the clues. It has never been circulated in the world, and outsiders have rarely seen it.
.”
"Then how did you know?"
"I...hum..."
Dong Lizi stopped talking, and Wu Sheng speculated: "Is it... passed down by your master, Senior Song?"
Donglizi said: "You must never tell anyone about the words in this heavenly book, do you understand?"
Wu Sheng nodded: "Of course I know, aren't you forcing me to do nothing?"
Dong Lizi blew his beard: "When did I ever force you?"
Wu Sheng said: "If you don't give me the recipe for the Nine Turns and One Qi Pill, my friend will not be able to break through. Isn't this another form of coercion?"
Donglizi shook his head, said nothing, went to the kitchen to buy a gourd of wine, and rushed directly to the back of the mountain.
Wu Sheng chased after him: "Senior, where are you going? No...why are you like this? Hey? Don't leave, old thief..."
Donglizi came out of the woods, climbed over the hills again, and came to the tomb of Song Wuji where he paid homage last time.
There had just been a snowfall three days ago and it had not yet melted. Many parts of the cemetery were still covered with snow. Donglizi went to break some pine branches in the distance to sweep away the snow. Wu Sheng also followed and made a broom as well.
...Of course he can use Taoist energy to clean up the remaining snow, but sweeping the grave is to do his best, so he still cleans the grave honestly.
Sitting down again, the two of them looked at the vast plains of Yingdu in front of them, each drinking the wine from the gourd.
After finishing the last sip, Wu Sheng sighed: "Junior has shown all his sincerity. If senior is still not at ease, junior will go down the mountain today."
Donglizi glanced at him: "Can't bear it anymore?"
Wu Sheng said: "It's been half a year. I can't spend another half year in Danlunzong... My friends can't wait... If it doesn't work here, I will go somewhere else to try my luck."
Dong Lizi was silent for a moment, picked up a branch and drew it on the ground. What he drew was exactly the cloud pattern shown by Wu Sheng: "This is the deformation of fire. Do you think the upper part is fire? The lower part is water.
There is wood on the left, but the order of top and bottom is not clear yet, and the mutual conflict has not fulfilled its meaning..."
Wu Sheng stopped: "Wait!" He tilted his head and looked at the cloud pattern in circles for a long time, but couldn't understand it: "Senior, did you say this is fire?"
Dong Lizi drew two tiny waves again on the side: "Isn't this just a fire? A flame."
Wu Sheng said doubtfully: "No... aren't these two tadpoles? Have you ever seen tadpoles before? The kind where tadpoles look for their mothers..."
Dong Lizi blew his beard and said: "That's nonsense! Haven't I seen tadpoles before? Is there a tadpole here or there? It's clearly a flame!"
Wu Sheng pointed to the two small waves drawn by Dong Lizi: "How can this be fire? Besides, even if it is fire, it is not one, but clearly two!"
As he spoke, he also drew two short waves: "Look, two tadpoles!"
Donglizi wondered: "What you painted is obviously fire. It's more straight than what I painted. How can you say it's a tadpole? And you only painted one stroke!"
The two stared at each other again, sometimes looking at each other, sometimes burying their heads in looking at the lines drawn on the ground.
They are both monks, and neither of them is a fool among the monks. What the situation is, it is immediately clear when they reflect each other: in the eyes of the other party, what they see and draw are all things they know and what the other party sees.
Yes, the drawing is completely different.
For example, Wu Sheng painted two strokes, but Dong Lizi saw only one stroke. The two strokes Wu Sheng painted were clearly wavy tadpole lines, but what Dong Lizi saw in his eyes was a flame.
vice versa.
Wu Sheng's thoughts traced back from this. Presumably when he was taught cloud patterns at Leigong Mountain, the cloud patterns in his eyes were different from those seen by Jin Wuhuan, right? It's a pity that he didn't compare them from this angle at the time, otherwise it would have been long ago
You should know.
Dong Lizi turned around and bowed three times to Song Wuji's tomb: "Teacher, it turns out that the Book of Heaven is like this."
Wu Sheng was also very emotional, this thing is really amazing, it is worthy of being a heavenly book.
After worshiping, Dong Lizi said to Wu Sheng: "Back then, the teacher accidentally obtained the thirty-six heavenly scripts and incorporated them into the Alchemy Way, and eventually became a great master. But when the teacher tried to attack Hedao, he failed unexpectedly. You
Don't think that I'm being arrogant. The failure of my attack on Hedao is nothing to others, but to the teacher, it is indeed a surprise, because the teacher has almost made the inner elixir, and only the last step is left. I happen to go out to collect medicine.
, I didn’t find out until I returned to the mountain, but it was already too late. In confusion, I asked my senior brother for details, but he said that he didn’t know. Instead, he kept asking about the whereabouts of the text in the Thirty-six Heavenly Books. I thought he had been taught by his teacher long ago.
, I didn’t expect that the teacher didn’t even pass on a single word from the Heavenly Book to him.”
Wu Sheng was horrified. He subconsciously looked around and whispered: "You mean, there is no murderer in Sangtian?"
Donglizi shook his head: "I don't know. I still don't know how the teacher died. It wasn't until half a year later that the senior brother offended Lord Jin. It was said that he was involved in the rebellion in the lower palace. However, the second family of Luan was executed by Lord Jin.
Zhao. The news of Zhao's execution reached the sect. It was said that the King of Jin was going to send troops into the mountains to search and exterminate the descendants of the Zhao family. This would be a disaster for the sect. The senior brother ordered everyone to flee. In the end, only a few people in the sect escaped alive.
"Tian. I still remember that day, when I was packing my luggage in the chaos, I accidentally knocked over a pill bottle at home, and a spiritual pill fell out of it. Only then did I discover the teacher's suicide note."
Wu Sheng murmured: "The suicide note in Danzhong..."
Thanks to Xinxitang for the reward, and thanks to fellow Taoists for their monthly tickets and recommended tickets.
