It seems that between changing cups and lighting lamps and lighting wicks, a lot of old snow has accumulated at the foot of Nangong Mountain, the sea of clouds is like washing, and the drifting snow flows.
In the villages at the foot of the mountain, many people have also become unemployed. After all, the autumn harvest and winter storage have been given up, and there is no other trivial chore to do. Many men take advantage of this rare gap in a year to rest at home for a while. However, there are exceptions. There are always those whose families are not rich in food and rice, so they rush to the mountains to hunt after the heavy snowfall. If they catch some hares and chickens, they can open the meat shop near the end of the year and pick them up when the new year is approaching. You can also exchange a lot of copper coins in the market.
Hunting is most suitable after snowfall. In the mountains, people don’t know that eating bait can determine life or death. This is an old saying many years ago. It tells the story of farmers catching rabbits with bait during the winter snow season. They often place them in conspicuous areas. When the heavy snow falls, everything is covered in white hair. It is extremely difficult to find, so hunters and farmers put the bait on the snow and make pits. When rabbits come looking for it in the mountains, it is easy to get it.
I don't know why the rabbits on Nangong Mountain can't remember it. Even if they kill countless similar rabbits in this way, there are always many snow rabbits who can't resist the temptation of bait and lose their lives.
In the small mountains, humans disappear and rabbits die for food.
Zhao Ziyang had eaten rabbit meat for more than a month. Even the bed in the hole in the giant tree was made of hare fur. He had not removed his beard for many days, which actually made him grow a mustache. His weather-beaten face made him look even more... As I age, I look less like a young man and more like a hunter visiting the mountains and wild lands.
"Li San, which page did you see in that old book?" Zhao Ziyang carried two snow rabbits, one deep and one shallow, and walked back to the tree pit through the snow, dropped the snow rabbits, and smiled into the pit.
Compared to the desolate appearance of Gang Leader Zhao, Li San was no better. His appearance was not as good as ordinary people. Now his face was stained with fire ashes, and he was in an extremely embarrassed state. Fortunately, there was no one on the mountain in the middle of the night, otherwise he would have seen this. With his current appearance, he is afraid that he will stumble and fall down the mountain, spreading the word that the wild rats in the mountains have become monsters.
"It's so cold and freezing that I can't even read a book. My forehead is almost frozen into a lump of rotten wood. The memorial platform seems to be blocked by solid ice and it's very stiff." Seeing the gang leader returning, Li San put down the book and started to read. He poked his head out of the tree pit where the bonfire was burning, and smiled, but his smile was more frustrated.
"You kid, you still need to cultivate your mind." Zhao Ziyang was not annoyed after hearing this. He went into the tree pit on his own, added two handfuls of dry firewood and said, "I was paralyzed at home. I think you also know that I owe it to this girl to take care of you." , until the injury recovered. At that time, if I had not been careful and failed to control my angry temper, I was afraid that this old book would be destroyed in my hands. My legs could not move, and I could not move even half a foot. I am afraid that this god will have to lie down at home and die, so I am getting more and more anxious and losing my mind."
Gang Leader Zhao, who looked extremely haggard, smiled and said, "But then I figured it out. People are born to endure hardships. Is it possible that the heirs of those princes, generals, and prime ministers can live a very satisfying life? That's probably not the case. Since I have endured hardships in this world for many years, and even if I enter Huang Lian, I should slowly adapt to it. Even if my liver and spleen are damaged due to anger, God will not take care of me any more. If God's will is contrary to my will, my life will be bumpy and difficult to carry out. Good results, why should we obey Tiannuo Di?"
Li San on the side was silent for a long time after hearing this.
"Although most of the unnatural deeds in this book are made by the author, at least you must have the spirit to live in the world. You must live well even though you know that there may still be many hardships ahead. Such a comparison , the sky is very cold, and it doesn’t matter, at least the bonfire is still strong now, which is the best." Perhaps because he had been holding these words in his heart for a long time, Zhao Ziyang said them out without much trouble. , and immediately felt that my mind was clear.
It's like a big fish that I caught from a distant suburb when I was a kid. I cooked the fish with great joy, but before I took a few bites, I choked on the bone. Fortunately, there was still half a bowl of old vinegar at home. It slowly went into my throat and finally melted. Get rid of the lump in your throat and everything will feel better.
"It's hard to be the heir of a prince's prime minister." Li San sighed, pulling off two pieces of dried meat and throwing it into his mouth, "Maybe the gang leader is the heir of a high-ranking official of some dynasty, and threw it here for some unspeakable reason. In the poor mountains and valleys, sooner or later there is a time to come and recognize your son."
Zhao Ziyang raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes, "You damn heir to a high official, if he is really the son of some noble family, why should I stay here with a lazy guy like you? I have no energy left to eat all day long, so go and catch rabbits."
Li San's bared teeth, which were originally two points wider and longer than ordinary people, became more and more obvious. He smiled and ran out of the tree pit and went to dig a pit in the forest.
The sound of firewood was crisp, and Zhao Ziyang, who had a calm face, picked up a hollow straw, picked the end that did not burn but had smoke, held it gently in his mouth, slightly inhaled the smoke into his throat, and then got out of the tree pit and walked toward the area behind the tree. Open space, take a step.
When you encounter adversity in life, you are under a dangerous cliff. You are worried when you advance, and you are also worried when you retreat.
Not seeking longevity, but seeking peace of mind.
It was clear that he was practicing in the second realm, but now, Zhao Ziyang's mind suddenly opened up, and his movements seemed to be the same as those in the second realm.
"Peace is difficult to determine, and blessings rarely appear. However, the mountain breeze does not clear away the treacherous ice, and the strong tide does not crush the embankment. Keep your mind pure, wait for your luck, and then act, do your best to control the destiny, this is the general idea."
There are scriptures that sound in the old books, which are neither Buddha nor Tao, pure and natural.
"It turns out it's just one step." Zhao Ziyang laughed at himself.
It's just that when he took this step, his character was completely different. He just wanted to do it, everything was hard to find, and countless steps were useless. However, when Zhao Ziyang took this step, he just wanted to see if the snowy mountains on the mountain were different from the ones at the bottom.
"Exactly the same." Zhao Ziyang, who was in ragged clothes but with a deep smile, touched the snow and looked down the mountain. There were still many men in the village busy taking care of their doors and windows to prevent the north wind from entering the house. There were still many women. The man was dressed thickly, waiting at the well to fetch water, chatting with other neighbors with a smile on his face.
In the village, only one pretty girl was missing, then Zhao Ziyang was missing, and then Li San was missing.
"Just wait a little longer."
Zhao Ziyang looked at the sect's house on the top of the mountain, just like when he came, walked down the mountain slowly, returned to the tree pit, and began to snore.
Little did they know that at the top of Nangong Mountain, there was an immortal with a flying sword. He was looking down the mountain with a strange expression. When he saw the young man going up the mountain for a few steps and then turning back, he laughed angrily and said, "Why do I have such a crush on these people?" All the disciples, except for the eldest, who was snatched by his own ability, the second, third, and even the last one, are not very economical, and there are people who have never entered the disciples."
A shout came from below, extremely happy, "Master, it's deserted outside. I kindly ask you to go back to your room and try your disciple's new dishes. They must be delicious."
Wu Dajianxian lay down on the Qingshuang Sword and closed his eyes to rest.
Today, Wu Shuang would rather freeze to death outside than return home.
Just because the two disciples held the plates in their palms and ate like black coals.
