Under the light of the fire, the jujube sword stabbed out strands of light with changing colors. Because the speed was too fast, the sword light dissipated far slower than the speed of generation, intertwining together to form a sword network of cold light.
All the ghosts and wandering souls rushing towards him were like moths flying towards the fire, and there was a burst of "crackling" sound in the air.
The pitiful screams of ghosts were heard endlessly, and then quickly stopped and disappeared. The sword light chased a few feet away, and in a short period of time, it killed the group of ghosts pouring out of the forest into black energy, disappeared into the night sky, and returned to the world.
between.
When you are in a dangerous place, since you cannot recite sutras and be saved, you can use the force of thunder to kill you. This is his principle.
He has more than one method to deal with ghosts.
The donkey stood there and didn't move. The viewer was moving too fast, so it decided not to cause any trouble.
Seeing the master of the temple put away his sword and walking back, the donkey came up to him in a dog-like manner and waggled his tail: "Master of the temple, you are a 'sword that spans thirty thousand miles, and a sword can light up eighteen continents'. The master of the temple is so powerful! A bunch of big ghosts and little ghosts."
It’s not enough for you to have one sword…”
"Stop, stop it! Where did you learn these nonsense words?"
Zhang Wenfeng had goosebumps all over his body and quickly called for a stop.
"How about we learned some new things when we went to the town to listen to storytelling with the old cripple? All the ghosts in the forest were killed, and no ghosts were found to have slipped through the net. It should be clean, right?"
The donkey sniffed his nose, feeling the ghostly smell in the air.
Zhang Wenfeng sat down facing the direction of the forest, added three wet logs to the bonfire, and the smoke and moisture swayed, and said: "I don't know if there are powerful ghosts lurking in the mountains. I'll adjust my breathing for an hour first. It's almost time. You call me."
I, let’s take turns to keep vigil, don’t be careless.”
"That's it, that's it. Master, please adjust your breathing. I'm in good spirits and I'm not sleepy. I'll keep watch."
The donkey cannot be sleepy. It can only feel at ease when it sees that there are no more ghosts in the mountains.
The whole night went by without incident, and the bonfire burned until dawn.
The sun rose to the height of the treetops, and the dew on the grass dried. Zhang Wenfeng stood up and drew his sword, saying: "Let's go, no matter whether there are ghosts or not, we will sweep through the woods and mountains. There is no way to guard against ghosts all the time."
"As we started walking, I remembered a word called, to scare away ghosts."
"It's 'to alert the snake'."
"That's pretty much what I mean. Master, you sometimes like to find faults and get into trouble. Can you still have a good chat? You've been chatting to death for the whole day."
"...Okay, I will correct it in the future."
"It's more like, 'If you know your mistakes, you can correct them, but you can't do anything good'."
A donkey dropped his book bag, foaming at the mouth, looking so energetic that he was not even afraid of ghosts.
I spent most of the morning walking through the woods and mountains, setting fire to the ghostly caves and burning them for a while. No ghosts were found hiding in the entire island-like mountain, which made everyone and the donkey feel relieved.
Only the final boulder on the top of the mountain that was bare and without trees was left. It was very steep, about ten feet high.
The donkey raised his head and looked at it for a moment. He couldn't get up, and said, "Forget it, the birds don't poop up there, and there isn't even a tree for shade. It's too lazy to put in the effort."
"Those who travel a hundred miles are only half-way ahead. Don't give up halfway. Just wait for me here for a moment."
Zhang Wenfeng took a few steps back and started to run. He stepped on the ground and took off. His feet alternately stepped on the steep slope of the rock. In the blink of an eye, he ran to the top of the rock. He stretched out his left hand to climb up. He jumped up high with the help of his strength and quickly looked around.
The scene on top of the rock.
What surprised him was that there was actually a stone house above, and the position he came up from was the side courtyard wall.
Seen from below, it is blocked by a courtyard wall and looks like a huge rock.
After landing on the five-foot-thick rock wall, Zhang Wenfeng held his sword in his hand and cautiously moved towards the main entrance.
The stone door is open, and there are three seal characters engraved on the plaque of the stone house: "Guan Waterfall Rock."
The ground was covered with thick dust, and it didn't look like someone was living there.
Zhang Wenfeng felt it carefully for a while and asked aloud: "Is the master here? Taoist Zhang took the liberty to come to visit."
The donkey standing under the rock was greatly surprised and shouted: "Master, what's going on?"
"There is a two-bedroom stone house on the top of the rock. It seems that no one has lived in it for a long time. Let me go in and take a look."
Zhang Wenfeng jumped from the courtyard wall to the rocky ground, stepped gently up the eaves steps, crossed the stone threshold, and looked inside and out. There were simple stone tables, stone benches, stone couches and other items in the stone house, and there was no ghost at all.
.
This stone house seems to be specially prepared for viewing waterfalls. It faces south and faces north. Standing under the eaves of the gate, it is right in front of the waterfall hanging in the distance. It is only blocked by the courtyard wall in front, which makes it a little less perfect.
Zhang Wenfeng is already very satisfied. Having a ready-made stone house to live in can at least solve his urgent needs.
He used his sword to carve out a stone ladder on the rock, and with the agility of a donkey, he had no problem getting up and down.
Floating down to the rock, he told the donkey about the situation of the stone house. The donkey was excited and began to worry: "Master, there are no prey here, there are no edible roots, and there is no water. You...
…How to solve the food problem?”
Zhang Wenfeng was confident and walked down the mountain and said: "The sound of water in the south is clearer than in other places, and it doesn't sound as fast. Yesterday I threw stones under the fog, and I could hear the sound of stones hitting the water. I guess it was only seven or eight at most."
Zhang, later we can cut down a thick tree, cut it into tubes, hollow it out to make a simple bucket, hang it with a long vine and put it into the misty canyon in the south, and we should be able to get water."
As long as he can get water, he can find a way to catch fish.
The so-called "there is no perfect way" depends on whether you can find the only way to survive.
"Then hurry up and cut down wood to make barrels. What are you going to do with these small bamboos that are neither attractive nor useful? Well, you don't want to use bamboo and hemp poles to make brooms..."
"Things have to be done one by one. I will clean the inside and outside of the stone house first. Maybe I can find useful clues. The stone house is built on the top of the rock, and there are three words "Guan Waterfall Rock" on it. It seems to be intentional.
If you don't want to waste too much time, I'll give it a try first."
Zhang Wenfeng has nothing to rely on now, he can only analyze and follow his feelings.
He quickly made a broom, climbed up the big rock again, and landed in the yard of the stone house. Starting from the inside of the house, he swept the dust to the corner and took it out with his hands. It took him two quarters of an hour to clean the inside and outside.
once.
Cleaning before moving in is also an old rule passed down from generation to generation.
Looking at the front of the stone wall facing the gate, I scanned out eight small words: "A blessing in disguise."
Zhang Wenfeng was relieved and grinned.
There is no allusion about "a blessing in disguise" in this world. He told this story to his apprentices in the Qingzheng Villa. In the small world of bronze lamps, he was bored and told many stories on earth to Mo Ye, including "a blessing in disguise".
In fact, he should have thought long ago that the so-called forbidden land is Mo Ye's "Moling Hidden Realm", a thousand-mile cave heaven paradise.
Mo Ye once said that she had adopted a litter of foxes in her spare time in the early years, and Jiu Ming also practiced with Mo Ye for some time. The Demon Fox Club opened up a passage to the "Mongling Realm", and she should have asked for permission.
Mo Ye.
That day at the Yucheng Bridge, Bai Wuchang was asked to help take away the bridge spirit and the ghosts. Bai Wuchang accidentally revealed that the Yucheng Bridge connected the two boundaries, but he did not dare to say more about it later.
When he cut his palm to help Xin Yue push the stone wall, he had a vague feeling that it was him who pushed it away.
With all the clues added up, he should have guessed the result long ago.
It's only because he followed Mo Ye on a trip to the "Mongling Hidden Realm". The scenery was very different from the scenery here, which led his thinking to a dead end and failed to think about it in this aspect.
Mo Ye ran off to play somewhere unknown, and before leaving, he dug a hole for him here.
The girl with the hairpin has great supernatural powers and has long anticipated his movements.
Well, he was so frightened that his heart trembled. Mo Ye, Mo Ye, how can you bear it?
Now that the dark clouds have cleared and the sun is shining all over the courtyard, he wants to sing loudly, because whatever he does next will be right and there is no risk of life. This place is a retreat specially prepared for him by Mo Ye.
"Waterfall" is a good place.
It's all written on the plaque.
As for the profound meaning, he has to slowly understand it himself.
