At dusk, the wind was brisk and the snow was falling heavily.
In the tree house among the thick branches, it was as warm as spring. Under the dim light, Liande lay on the edge of the big wooden box with his buttocks sticking out, tinkering with his increasingly rich collection and various treasures. A smile of satisfaction appeared on his dark green face. .
Counting these sparkling items after work every day, he felt that his life was beautiful and he was looking forward to it.
Guarding the treasure, he slept soundly all night until dawn, and his cultivation level slowly but continuously improved.
A sudden foot lightly tapped on the little guy's raised buttocks, knocking Liande's whole body into the wooden box, and there was a "dinging, clanging" sound of treasures.
"Master You, you are out of seclusion."
Liande was half buried in the treasure pile and without looking back he called out the initiator of the prank.
In the entire sect, besides Mr. You, who else could sneak into the tree house where he had set up a wooden array to protect him, and play tricks on him in this way?
Climbing out of the treasure box, Liande chuckled and bowed: "Greetings to Mr. You."
You Mengchang raised his hand and took out a fruit-sized luminous stone from the box. Suddenly the whole small tree house was brightly lit. He threw the luminous stone on the roof beam and set it inlaid, and said contemptuously: "Look at your The young family is so shabby that they don't know how to decorate the house brightly and make it comfortable to live in. It is not shameful to put a broken stone in a box as a treasure. "
Liande was used to being scolded. He straightened up, grabbed his hair, and explained with a smile: "I don't need a light at night. I can see clearly in the dark. I light a clear oil lamp for lighting. In Leng Xiang's words, it is like a fireworks."
"Oh, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, so I'm impressed. I've learned a lot."
There was a sneer on You Mengchang's face: "You are so capable, why do you stay alone in an empty room at night in the winter? Look at that Hu Qiang'er, his face is thicker than the bark of a dead tree. He walked into that girl's cave and chatted and laughed happily. Why don't you learn to be a couple?"
Liande chuckled and retorted: "Master You, you taught me before that ascetics should be pure of heart and have few desires, and should not have any inappropriate thoughts..."
You Mengchang happily rewarded the little guy who talked back to him. He actually encouraged the little guy to be bolder and not to be timid like a man. He also joked: "Liande, Mr. You is poor now." You have to jingle, you have boxes and boxes of treasures here, I’m so jealous, why don’t you let me rob two boxes and take them back?”
Liande rubbed his forehead, pointed to a big box next to him, and said generously: "As you see it, if I return that box to you, it will be the treasure you rewarded me with before."
As soon as Mr. You stretched out his hand, all the wooden boxes opened their lids. They were full of jewels. The large and small treasures in each box were eye-catching. Whether they were valuable or not, they were piled up in a dazzling array. He smiled and said: "Not bad, not bad, mosquito legs are still meat no matter how small they are." , Liande, you have obtained the true inheritance of your family’s master, and you can manage your family well, and you will be very promising in the future.”
It is said that the young visitor has a reputation as a "broom". When he goes out, he can even scrape off three inches of land.
The current scale of Xianling Temple was gained by accumulating little by little.
He closed the box and said to the little guy with a bright smile who had advanced to the second level: "Have you absorbed all the sap of the ancient tree from the three drops of rock?"
Liande immediately stopped his smile, leaned forward and said, "I am too stupid to absorb more. I still have two drops left."
"Don't be in a hurry, take your time. There is a saying in the spiritual world called 'Slow is fast'. It is more suitable for a down-to-earth idiot like you. Don't be like them and try to be fast. Follow your own inner cultivation and you will not be able to find the direction. When the time comes, stop and ask yourself, and carefully distinguish what you need in your heart and what you hate. Anyway, your meditation master has already helped you consider the way out for the decline of spiritual energy. You have plenty of time to practice. .”
You Mengchang gave instructions casually, carefully every word, rubbed the little guy's head, and then wiped his palms on the little guy's robe in disgust.
Passing through the wall of the tree house, under the greetings of the little guy, like a lonely ghost floating in the dark snowy night, You Mengchang found that he had truly died for once, and he had a better understanding of this world, people and things. A different view before.
Keeping your life alive is the foundation for continuing to practice, and other things are not that important.
In fact, Xiao Liande is no longer stupid. He can clearly see his heart and what he wants. There is a saying that "great wisdom is like a fool". He is already stronger than most monks in the world.
Just as he floated back to the entrance of Houshan Cave Mansion, a talisman light flew from the mountain.
You Mengchang then summoned Huang Fu to investigate, and whispered: "There are still people who know about the secret realm of Yanyuan..."
In a flash, he disappeared down the mountain, and when he reappeared, he arrived at the door of the west hall on the top of the mountain, crossed the threshold and walked in. Inside, there were only the viewer and the mountain chief sitting opposite each other, drinking tea.
The sitting mountain chief stood up and said hello: "Lao You is here, please sit down!"
You Mengchang nodded in response, sat down, and asked directly: "Do you know where the entrance to the Yanyuan Secret Realm is?"
Zhang Wenfeng shook his head and said: "Guanzhu Chen invited Lu Zijin to go on an adventure, but he didn't leave any more messages. There has been no news for more than ten years. Lu Zijin's life lamp is intact. I want you to take care of it."
You Mengchang took a closer look at a small brass lamp placed on the table next to him. The light was solid like a gem and motionless, and he said: "Judging from the life lamp, there is no unexpected situation in Lu Zijin. He is fine." He turned his gaze. He moved away and said: "The secret realm of Yanyuan has been rumored for a long time. It sank into the sea with the Canngling Continent back then. I heard that it was broken severely. Thousands of years have passed, but I didn't expect that Chen Qingqiao still knows the entrance and exit of the secret realm. Hehe, it's not simple."
He told them openly that Chen Qingqiao had a great background.
Zhang Wenfeng had suspicions before, but he didn't go into details. He made friends based on his temperament, conduct and compatibility. There are many reincarnations of powerful souls in this world, such as Lu Yuanyuan, Fa Yuan, etc., as well as several people around him. Yes, no need to make a fuss.
"You Lao, do you know the entrance and exit of Yanyuan Secret Realm?"
"I went in with that old man Situ a long time ago. Later, the Yanyuan Secret Realm sank. I didn't bother to inquire about it again because it was of no use to me at that time. I am not a god, so I can't count the entrance to the secret realm."
You Mengchang refuses thankless things and reveals too many secrets, and he will be punished.
What's more, now Taoist Zhang's strength has accidentally climbed to the top of this world. "If a tree is as beautiful as a forest, the wind will destroy it." This principle has not changed through the ages. If he continues to use warlock methods to force things, doesn't he think the thunder is not fast enough? ?
He and Taoist Zhang share life and death, with a grasshopper tied to a rope. The superimposed cause and effect of the two people shines in the eyes of heaven.
Zhang Wenfeng took a sip of tea and said, "Perhaps after some time, Lu Zijin and the others will overcome the difficulties and come out on their own."
He didn't even believe what he said, and there was nothing he could do except wait.
Old Man You refused too simply. It was obvious that he didn't want to help. He couldn't force him.
In the afternoon of the second day, the heavy snow stopped.
Wrapped in silver, everything is white as far as the eye can see, and a thin layer of snow mist fills the forest.
Zhang Wenfeng and his wife were walking in the snow to enjoy the scenery, with three little sprites following them far behind. Suddenly his childlike innocence emerged. He squatted down, grabbed a handful of snow, and randomly squeezed it into a snowball. He knocked over a little sprite a hundred feet away with a "pop" and then threw it away. One of them knocked over Liande, who didn't react, and Lengxiang was left hurriedly hiding in the trees. The master thought they were an eyesore, so it was all Hu Qiang'er's fault for having to follow him because he had no eyesight.
"Haha, you two idiots can't even play a snowball fight? Ryoka is not allowed to hide in the trees."
"Master, you are not a good man if you are cheating and sneaking attacks."
"Snapped!"
While they were playing around, a light talisman flew towards them. Mr. Zhang quickly shouted to stop, took the yellow talisman, looked at it, and said, "I'll beat you up when I come back later." He said hello to his wife and disappeared.
Hu Qiang'er was beaten beyond recognition by the master with several snowballs. His hair and clothes were covered with snowflakes. He shouted to himself, "Master, you are cheating" and chased Liande with the snowballs in his hands.
Yun Qiuhe smiled and watched the little guys making trouble.
In the guest hall, Zhang Wenfeng took a forbidden wooden box handed to him by the Qingshui Temple Lu Supervisor, erased the restrictions, opened the box and took out a letter, which was left behind by Chen Qingqiao more than ten years ago as a precaution.
If you have not returned in ten years, please hand the letter to Zhang Guanzhu in person.
