Chapter 2 Up the Mountain (Seeking Three Rivers
The Iron Staff Taoist stood at the gate of the mountain, looked up at the three words "Qionglong Mountain", motionless, as if he was worried. Qian Yiqun did not dare to disturb him, but just stood aside. After a long time, the Iron Staff Taoist asked Qian Yiqun slowly and said, "There are three door holes, do you know what it means?"
"Students don't know." Qian Yiqun said.
"These three gates are the Wuji Realm, Taiji Realm, and the world appears." The Taoist of Iron Staff raised the iron stick and pointed out one by one, "I was playing here, walking the path next to me, and avoiding the door. When the master saw it, he said, "This guy has the heart to jump out of the three realms." Then he took me into the entrance."
Qian Yiqun said oh, "It turns out that the teacher is also a fellow villager, but he speaks good official words and can't hear the local accent."
"I travel around the world and can say a few words anywhere." The Taoist Iron Staff exclaimed again, "You really surprised me. I think you want to say, 'I'll avoid the door too'."
Qian Yiqun smiled proudly and said, "The teacher is unintentional. If I have the intention to do it, what I am moved is the intention."
The iron rod Taoist said strangely: "You actually know the cleverness?"
"That's natural." Qian Yiqun has read many Taoist classics of his mother these days, and is well aware of many concepts of "clear foundations" and "disregarding thoughts". Although he does not believe that such "clear and inaction" can prevent all evil and avoid disasters and obstacles, it is still no problem to take it out at critical moments to make people talk.
The Taoist Iron Staff really breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The so-called 'to understand the mind in principle and see the nature in matters'. If you can understand the truth, it is best. Then you just need to use your work slowly to rub it."
"Teacher," Qian Yiqun asked, "Is this method of cultivating the mind and cultivating nature useful to us mythology monks?"
"Why is it useless?" The Taoist Iron Staff raised his eyebrows, "We can stand between heaven and earth, relying solely on our minds and nature, otherwise we will fall into the evil path. Do you think, can a powerful man from Kong Wu harm people, or can a three-foot boy harm people?"
Qian Yiqun thought it was reasonable. Not to mention ordinary people, even monks like Chen Xiangming and Zhou Zhengqing who claimed to be a guardian, they might not be able to kill chickens. Such a scum who is less than five in combat power will not have a big problem in cultivating their minds. Instead, he practiced the mysterious technique and threw the small thunder lightning curse like a grenade... If his mind is very weak, it is indeed bad. Now he thinks of the three Wen servants he killed in the street, and he feels a little regretful.
"After you go up the mountain, my senior brother will also slap you well. You must hold it back and always remember the three things you promised me." said the Taoist Iron Staff.
Qian Yiqun nodded and looked at the Qionglong Mountain. It was only a hundred feet long, and there was no steep and rugged statement. He said, "Teacher, are we going up the mountain now?"
The Taoist Iron Staff moved forward and said, "As soon as I went up the mountain, I would definitely be left by my senior brother, so I couldn't get to Beijing to clear it. You can go up by yourself."
"What do teachers want to clear?" Qian Yiqun asked curiously.
"If you kill Sun Kaiyang's disciples, you have to say hello." The Taoist Iron Staff said helplessly, "The same thing is the saying, Heaven's way of life, think about it before killing people, and those who can be killed or not will always leave a way out."
Qian Yiqun nouo said, "Students remember it."
The Taoist Iron Staff shook his head slightly.
There is a saying nowadays: "If you don't have any guilt, you should be killed." The "yamen" in it refers to the yamen runners, who are born like Qian Yiqun. It can be seen that this profession is indeed enviable, but it really causes hatred. The quality of the practitioners in it is even lower than that of "you should be killed if you don't have any guilt."
The Taoist Iron Staff thought Qian Yiqun was born like this, so he was cruel and easy to kill. Although he nodded and promised, his nature was difficult to change. However, the Taoist's ability to grind water even a stubborn stone would not be depressed.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, the Taoist Iron Staff told Qian Yiqun some rules in the ten directions of the jungle. As for the title of the Taoist in the senior area, how should he salute the rituals when he saw the guild, and how should he salute the guild be answered if someone asked him his name... Finally, he said: "I have sent all your life experience and nature to the mountain. If the guild asks, you must not conceal it, otherwise it will be a serious crime."
Qian Yiqun thought to himself: Are the truth about what you inquired about? Who knows what you heard of is a mess of groundless nonsense?
"Students must answer truthfully." Qian Yiqun said with a tough bullet.
Even if the Taoist Iron Staff could deduce, he could not read his heart. He thought that Qian Yiqun was relieved to say this sincerely. But after thinking about it, his life was hard on the mountain and Qian Yiqun was a rich family who could not even leave his slaves, so he took care of him: "Since I promised that crow, I always have to keep my words in my words. If you really can't stay on the mountain, you will rent a farmhouse at the foot of the mountain and teach you slowly when I come back."
Qian Yiqun felt a little angry and said to himself: He didn't really let go...
"Thank you, teacher," Qian Yiqun said proudly, "Since I am determined to practice, I will definitely not give up halfway! I thought I had suffered from the pain of hanging the beam and stinging the thighs back then." He said that he was taking the college entrance examination in his previous life, but the Iron Staff Taoist thought that he was determined to be the imperial examination when he was a child, but the two sides were very strict.
"Go up the mountain, I'll see you pass the Tiezhu Pavilion before leaving." The Tie Staff Taoist pointed the iron stick and said softly.
Although the two met for the second time, and the time they spent together was only a few hours, they looked a little reluctant.
Tiezhu Pavilion is only one mile behind the mountain gate, and you can see it by winding up the mountain along the path.
After Qian Yiqun and the Iron Staff Taoist parted, he felt quite lonely and he was only concerned about walking. When he looked up suddenly, there was a small pavilion with four corners and eight pillars in front of him. The pillars were cast iron and were in the form of bamboo joints. Although there was no plaque to indicate it, you could tell at a glance that the Iron Bamboo Pavilion was not bad.
Qian Yiqun entered the pavilion and supported it on the dark iron bamboo that was touched by someone, and his tentacles were cold. He stood on the stone stool and looked at the mountain gate. Sure enough, he saw the Iron Staff Taoist still standing there, waving to him. Seeing Qian Yiqun also waved, the Iron Staff Taoist turned around and left.
"Old Wei, let's go." Qian Yiqun jumped off the stone bench until he could not see the iron rod Taoist.
"Young master, do you want to use some snacks?" Qian Wei was afraid that dinner had already been on the mountain and had no food.
Qian Yiqun saw that the sky was getting darker and felt that he had no appetite, so he said, "Don't eat anymore, go up the mountain before the sunlight." Today, he was struggling with the iron stick Taoist running wildly, and his calves were still spontaneously sore and trembling. It would be better to go up to the dormitory and burn your feet and go to bed.
Qian Wei naturally followed the instructions of the young master and drove his luggage in front of him. He would indicate wherever there was a weak soil or wherever there was a pineapple brick, so as not to have an accident with Mr. Qian.
Qionglong Mountain is not a wild mountain like the Qinling Mountains in Zhongnan. It is considered a tourist destination at present. Many Suzhou people will choose here on the Dragon Boat Festival and travel on weekdays. Therefore, the mountain road has long been flattened, and there are paved stone slabs and blue bricks, which is not difficult to walk even on rainy days.
Not long after the two went up the mountain, they heard a tender voice coming from behind.
"Two donors...but are you going to the Zhenguan?" A twelve or thirteen-year-old Taoist boy chased after him from behind, running, his face flushed and he was panting.
Qian Yiqun stood waiting for him, and saw his chest undulating and breathless look, and he felt quite empathetic. He said, "Does the Taoist Master call us?"
"There are no one else on this mountain, so I'm naturally calling you." The little Taoist boy was not polite, "Is the donor surnamed Qian?"
"That's right." Qian Yiqun learned and used it now, and said with a smile, "I dare to ask about the big name of the immortal elder."
"My name is Lu Xiaomiao." said Daotong, "Zhao's head of the family asked me to wait for you here. Unexpectedly, you had already gone up the mountain just after you went to the forest to get shit."
Seeing that he was innocent and innocent, Qian Yiqun was not afraid of having too many rules and too dull. He smiled and said, "Well, I dare to ask the Taoist priest to lead the way."
"Just one road, let's go straight up." Lu Xiaomiao said, and had already taken three or two steps before Qian Wei.
Seeing that he was brisk and had a natural figure, Qian Yiqun thought he had practiced Kung Fu. Lu Xiaomiao and Qian Yiqun and the others did not have to sprint like they did just now. His breathing gradually stabilized, and the flush on his face also dissipated. Judging from his round and fat face, the food in Shangzhenguan should be good.
"Qian Wei, give him some snacks." Qian Yiqun shouted.
Qian Wei immediately put down his luggage, took out the food bag, took a piece of jujube paste sesame cake the size of a palm, and handed it to Lu Xiaomiao. Lu Xiaomiao looked at Qian Yiqun, and immediately smiled on his face. He took the jujube paste cake, put it in his mouth and chewed it.
Children have no prejudice against people and are very easy to buy. Before they finish eating a jujube cake, Lu Xiaomiao has already regarded Qian Yiqun as a relative. Regardless of the darkness, he dragged Qian Yiqun for more than ten steps to see the two knee springs left by Zhenjun Sanmao kneeling down to worship the stars.
The stone nest with knees that looked like a human kneeling, gurgling out of the water. The Taoist on the mountain made up a story and put it on the head of Sanmao Zhenjun. Some people really believed it. If the True King was kneeling out, then his figure would probably be as big as two Liu Zongmin.
"There is a kind of stone crab in this spring. Soaked in soy sauce, it is best to eat." Lu Xiaomiao scooped up a handful of water, drank it down, and exclaimed, "Why is the water not sweet today?"
Qian Yiqun also took a sip. The spring water was clear and sweet, with a lot of aftertaste. He said immediately: "It's still sweet, because you just ate the date paste cake, you can't taste it."
Lu Xiaomiao said long and said, "No wonder the teachers said: The difference between high and low is that only those who have seen high people know lows. I used to think that this spring water is the third sweetest thing in the world."
Qian Yiqun was reckless and respectful. It seems that Shangzhen Temple is indeed in charge. Even such a child can use the things in the "Tao Te Ching" in life and have some insights. He took Lu Xiaomiao's hand and continued to go up the mountain, asking, "What are the sweetest things in the world?"
