Thank you: I don’t cut firewood when I go up the mountain, and Han Lingge Sisi supports me with monthly votes!
…………
Moya Cave is the forbidden place for disciples of Xuanhuang Mountain.
Grounding is nothing more than imprisonment.
Yu Ye is not a disciple of Xuanhuang Mountain, but is what Bai Zhi calls an outsider. Lingshan Daomen does not allow outsiders to move around at will, so he can only be locked up in the cliff cave until Chenqi returns to the mountain gate to find out the truth about the disaster in Yujiacun, and then let him go down the mountain and go home.
Is this statement credible?
Believe it or not, it doesn't matter.
Nowadays, we are controlled by others and cannot control our own destiny. Instead of fighting in vain, it is better to be patient and wait for a turning point.
Bai Zhi seems to have no intention of harming anyone, otherwise why would she go to such trouble. Rather, he expected her to tell him where he was, because in Yuye's opinion, the familiar and mysterious old man might be the only person who could help him survive.
But first he had to live.
In the cave, the sound of "gush, gush" was heard.
Yu Ye sat in the pool, enjoying the time he was alive. The tattered robes, boots, trousers, and underwear had all been taken off and thrown aside. He immersed his entire body in the clear water, letting the coolness penetrate his skin. After soaking for a long time, he sat up suddenly, exhaled a breath of filthy air, and vigorously scrubbed the dirt on his hair and body. When the thick blood scab fell off, no trace of the wound could be seen. The skin that was once rough seemed to become a little more delicate.
After washing himself, he drank a few sips of the clear stream water, then jumped out of the pool, wiped himself dry, and put on the Taoist robe given by Guyu.
The Taoist robes of Xuanhuang Mountain are different from the clothes worn by hunters. The underwear is white and the outer robe is dyed cyan. They are both made of linen and silk. They are simple in style, large and comfortable, soft and warm, but they look a bit old. The boots were sewn from animal hide and were also old. They fit well and were light and silent when walking.
Yu Ye took out another piece of animal skin from the clothes he changed.
Although Feng Laoqi lost his animal skin bag and the mysterious little sword, the map he kept privately was still intact, which gave him a little comfort after being tortured by many changes.
After Yu Ye had finished packing, he was hungry and started to open the bamboo box, feeling disappointed.
I thought the box contained rice cakes or meat, but unexpectedly it turned out to be some dried fruits from the mountains. Better than nothing, it will satisfy your hunger for a while.
Yu Ye walked to the entrance of the cave on the left, raised his legs and sat on the stone platform. While eating the fruit, he looked up.
It was exactly at noon, the sun was shining high, the sky was as green as blue, and the mountains in the distance were pale. Looking at the scenery in all directions makes you feel relaxed and contented.
Yu Ye couldn't help but sigh.
well!
It is a pleasure to look at the mountains and enjoy the scenery and enjoy the beauty of the world, even if you only have a few wild fruits to satisfy your hunger, but why are you fighting to the death and fighting to the death!
An ignorant mountain boy, after suffering several hardships and realizing the evil nature of human nature for the first time, gradually expressed his inner questions and emotions about life and death, and even the way of survival!
Leaning against the entrance of the cave and looking down, there was a group of people on the hillside between the pines and the house. Among them were elderly people, as well as young men and women, sitting cross-legged in the midday sun. There was also a woman in green sitting high up and saying weird words from time to time. Everyone around them nodded, with expressions of understanding or excitement on their faces.
The woman in green is Bai Zhi. It seems that her status in Xuanhuang Mountain is very unusual.
"Hey, you finally thought about it!"
The stone door rang and Guyu appeared in the cave. Seeing someone sitting in front of the cave eating fruit, he walked over with a smile.
"I'm just saying, why bother yourself? Look, you're clean and fresh, and you feel more energetic. The Taoist robe also fits you well. If you don't know, you might be my senior brother!"
"It's still early, why are you here?"
Yu Ye glanced back and said hello.
"Senior sister ordered me to take out the rags you changed out of and burn them, and to send you some fresh and delicious food. Hey, I still don't believe it. Who knows what happens, senior sister? You are really eating!"
Gu Yu was an outspoken person, and perhaps Yu Ye had changed, which made him less worried and could not help but return to his nature of talking and laughing. He stretched out his head and glanced outside the cave, and gestured: "Brothers and sisters are practicing. At this time, Yang Qi is in full swing. It's time to breathe in, regulate your breath, and absorb the essence of heaven and earth."
Yu Ye asked curiously: "Oh, why don't you practice?"
"I……"
Gu Yu grinned and said awkwardly: "My spiritual roots have not yet been established, and the opportunity has not come yet, hehe!"
Yu Ye turned around and asked in confusion: "What is spiritual root?"
Guyu stretched out his hand, grabbed a piece of fruit and stuffed it into his mouth. As he ate it, he said, "Oh... the spiritual roots are formed innately, and there is also a saying that the day after tomorrow goes against fate. Only when the spiritual roots are in the cauldron can the spiritual energy enter the furnace, thus cutting down the hair." Cleanse the marrow, reborn, condense the energy to build the foundation, and achieve the golden elixir avenue."
It was rare for someone to ask him for advice, so he sat down in front of Yu Ye, picked up a fruit again, and continued: "There are only a few people with natural spiritual roots. There are only three or two people up and down Xuanhuang Mountain. Senior Brother Chenqi and Bai Zhi Senior sister, you are the leader of our generation. Those who have cultivated to the post-natal level are only one in ten thousand, but they spend all their time and do nothing. As for me, I will do some rough work and hone my mind, and I should be successful within ten years. Hehe!"
Yu Ye nodded in understanding.
Gu Yu deliberately showed off, and then said: "Don't underestimate the acquired realm, he is also an expert. As long as I practice hard, I can expect a great path!"
Yu Ye asked with great interest: "What is a cauldron?"
"this……"
Gu Yu scratched his head, pretending to be profound and said: "This is too mysterious, I can't explain it for a while. Oops, I almost forgot about the business." He found an excuse to get up and avoid it, picked up the clothes that Yu Ye had changed, and reached out again He pointed and hurried out of the cave.
Yu Ye walked over.
There was a bamboo basket on the ground with two bamboo shoots in it.
Is this what Guyu calls fresh food?
Yu Ye picked up the bamboo shoots, frowned, and then took a bite. It was crisp and delicious.
However, he still likes rice cakes and meat.
After eating a lot of dried fruits and bamboo shoots, Yu Ye spread the mattress on the ground, lay down, stretched his limbs, and closed his eyes leisurely.
As Guyu said, practicing Taoism is quite mysterious. As for how mysterious it was, he couldn't explain it clearly. After all, he is a member of the Taoist sect, and his knowledge is far beyond that of ordinary people. Spiritual roots, innateness, acquired nature, cauldrons, etc. are curious and fascinating. If he could become a Taoist master in the wild, how could he dare to do whatever he wanted...
Early morning is the beginning of another day, which means the change of new and old, day and night.
Yu Ye woke up early, drank from the mountain stream, washed his hands and face, and then leaned against the entrance of the cave alone, watching the clouds and mist like the sea and the rising sun. Although he couldn't get out of the cliff cave, he was no longer worried about it. At least those who stutter can wake up naturally from sleep, and can still enjoy the mountain breeze and look at the scenery. Why not enjoy this rare tranquility and comfort?
Guyu didn't show up in time.
Without his laughter, there would be a bit less fun. Of course, the food he sent was also missing.
Yu Ye could only swallow the remaining fruits and bamboo shoots from yesterday, walked around the cave a few times, and then leaned against the entrance of the cave to continue admiring the morning scenery.
On the mountain terrace below, several disciples from Xuanhuang Mountain were breathing and breathing.
There were also a few people who were punching and kicking with great skill. One swung his fist towards the target, causing the tiger to generate wind; the other jumped into the air, flying two feet straight. The movements and stillness of each other are in harmony with each other, and they are both in extraordinary spirits.
According to Guyu, he was a disciple without spiritual roots. He practiced the methods of the heavens hereafter, and his cultivation was also advanced and impressive.
Yu Ye looked interested and stretched out his hand to make gestures.
Since childhood, he has been good at fishing and catching birds, climbing trees and swimming in the water, climbing over mountains and rivers, trapping and killing people, and he is also good at wielding a knife and a stick. At this time, he imitated the actions of the Taoist disciples, but they were somewhat similar. The doorways among them are quite different.
At noon, the dispersed Xuanhuang Mountain disciples gathered on the mountain level again. A middle-aged man replaced yesterday's Bai Zhi and preached to everyone: "Life has a limit, and the Tao has no limit. If there is a limit, it will lead to death. Those who follow the Tao can only sacrifice their lives and forget their emotions in order to protect themselves and live a full life. , raise relatives, live out your years..."
I couldn’t understand what was being said, but it was not as lively and interesting as what Gu Yu said.
Why haven't you seen Guyu for so long?
Is he hiding outside the cave?
Yu Ye's view of Xuanhuang Mountain has changed from strange and mysterious to awe and hatred, and now he is curious and gradually has the idea of seeking knowledge. He really wanted to know about those cultivation methods. Maybe Guyu could help him clear up his doubts.
The stone door leading in and out of the cave was tightly closed. No matter how hard they punched or shouted, no one responded.
Yu Ye had no choice but to return to the cave, feeling depressed alone.
What seems like a peaceful and comfortable time is more like a kind of self-comfort...
After dusk, night falls.
Guyu still didn't show up.
Yu Ye rubbed his empty stomach and walked to the edge of the pool to sit down.
Those dried fruits I ate kept me from being hungry. Guarding the cliff cave alone, doing nothing all day long, the boredom makes people miss the food even more. Especially the rice cakes that are cooked by one's own hands. They are sweet and chewy, and with a few pickles or a piece of dried meat, it is a beauty.
"boom--"
Yu Ye swallowed and heard the sound of the stone door behind him.
Guyu finally came.
Yu Ye didn't look back and complained loudly: "Hey, you locked me here without seeing anyone all day long. From early morning to this time, I have talked about you hundreds of times..."
Gu Yu was similar in age to him and had a lively temperament. Although they had only known each other for a short time, they talked to each other quite casually.
A figure walked to the edge of the pool.
At this time, there happened to be a bright moon hanging outside the cave. The pool reflected the moonlight, and the surrounding glow fluctuated.
Yu Ye was about to continue complaining when he was slightly startled.
In the moonlight and water light, he saw a figure standing upright, turning to stare at him sideways, and then showed a face as bright as jade, just like the shining moon and touching people's soul.
Yu Ye hurriedly lowered his head to escape.
But the person looking at him was reluctant and asked: "You have talked about me hundreds of times, what do you mean?"
"No……"
"How can it be false if I heard it with my own ears?"
"No, I think it's Gu Yu, you..."
"You don't recognize me?"
"..."
Of course Yu Ye could recognize this person. Whether it was her demeanor or her clear voice, she could only be Bai Zhi. But when she took off the cloth covering her face, he didn't dare to look directly at her or recognize her. Especially the misunderstanding caused by what he just said made him even more embarrassed.
"Why are you blushing?"
Bai Zhi asked again, turned around and sat down by the pool.
"ah……"
Yu Ye was speechless and reached out to touch his face.
My skin is a bit hot, why is it red?
Bai Zhi still looked at Yu Ye, seeming a little surprised.
The person in front of me has a face as sharp as a knife, thick eyebrows and slanted eyebrows, bright eyes, a straight nose, and a slightly childish face that exudes a heroic spirit. And the Taoist robe worn on him actually looked neat and fit well. The way he looks tonight is completely different from the unkempt wild boy he was yesterday. But there was a faint black aura between his brows.
Bai Zhi studied it for a moment, then reached out to grab Yu Ye's wrist.
Yu Ye was suddenly startled, his wrist had been grabbed. He was eager to throw away his hands and escape, but his whole body was stiff. Although the hand holding him was as light as powerless, it was as smooth as fat and so sultry that people couldn't bear to break away and didn't dare to move. That delicate jade-like cheek was even closer, and one could hear her breathing. He closed his eyes in panic and tried to calm down. Unexpectedly, as soon as his wrist was loosened, the person next to him had already gone away with the words——
"I brought two wild ginseng roots to heal your wounds. Eat and rest..."
