The book returns to its true story.
When I asked Li Yanfeng with a wry smile, "Do you know how many people died in the Battle of Fuling Mountain?" Li Yanfeng and I fell into two phases of silence in front of Shuihe View. While I was immersed in various memories of the Battle of Fuling Mountain, Li Yanfeng He spoke first.
"The nature of heaven and earth is that human beings are precious. There is nothing greater than loyalty in human behavior. Do you know that if these people are not killed in Fuling Mountain that night, how many people will Jiang Ruisheng, who has entered the upper realm, poison in the future?"
I knew what he said was right, but I still felt uncomfortable in my heart, so I said softly, "It's a pity that I, a good man from the Pingtian Army, was buried with Jiang Ruisheng in vain!"
Li Yanfeng stood up and stretched his waist, then he breathed a long sigh of relief and said to me, "A great man, the rivers and mountains will be remembered forever, and the people who were born here will be remembered forever."
I nodded and said solemnly, "When I have strengthened my troops, I will definitely lead the Pingtian Army to wipe out the world's noble families and reorganize the country."
Li Yanfeng laughed loudly, "Brother, do you know how many people have to be sacrificed to realize the great ambition of wiping out all the families in the world?"
I didn't say anything, because I couldn't think of this number, and I didn't dare to think of it.
After Li Yanfeng asked back, seeing that I was silent, he sat next to me again. Instead of continuing the topic, he took out a pill from his arms and handed it to me.
I took the elixir, smelled it, frowned, and asked, "Brother Li, have you started refining elixirs again?"
Li Yanfeng seemed to have guessed my reaction. He smiled at me and asked, "Do you know what this thing is?"
I knew there was something in Li Yanfeng's words, so I drawled my voice, "Huh?"
"This thing is called Yangyuan Bigu Pill. It was specially refined by me to alleviate the suffering of the people after the great plague in Zhangwu. Those who use it can take refuge and relieve hunger, and can live without food for three months without dying. Even if they use it for three months Even if you don't eat for a month, it will not damage the vitality of your stomach. You can still survive by drinking only cold water. This thing can predict times of chaos, and it really has a magical effect." Li Yanfeng smiled at me, opened his mouth and swallowed.
"Ah! This thing is really so effective?" I looked at Li Yanfeng in surprise and said excitedly, "Then if I can carry this thing with me when I am marching with my army, wouldn't it mean that I don't have to worry about the food and baggage? I don't have to worry about the logistical supplies being lost during long-distance raids. Cut off!”
"Theoretically, it's possible!" Li Yanfeng burped, scratched his head, tilted his head aside and said with a simple and honest smile, "But, brother, this item is very expensive to make and difficult to refine. If you want to use it as military rations, , Hehe, I’m just afraid that you’ll go bankrupt!”
I used my elbow to scare him, and said maliciously, "Our friendship is deeper than water and higher than mountains. We have been in love for so many years. Talking about money will hurt our feelings. Brother Li, you can't give me a gift." Eighteen thousand grains?”
Li Yanfeng glared at me and joked, "Haha! Brother, you have so much on your mind. Not to mention giving you 8,000 pills, even if I give you 1,000 pills, our Shuihe Temple will have to close down!"
I glanced at Li Yanfeng and said with a bad smile, "No way! No way!"
Maybe Li Yanfeng was particularly happy to see me. He continued to smile and said, "That's it! It's very good!"
I pursed my lips and said, "Then why are you still refining the Yangyuan Bigu Pill? Do you want to keep the offspring?"
After Li Yanfeng burst out laughing, he looked straight into the distance with one eye, his eyes misty, and said, "After the Zhangwu epidemic, I shut down the furnace, cut off an arm, and vowed never to make elixirs! But I later discovered that the things in this world can be used for What is right is right, and when it is used wrongly, it is evil. So, I refined this thing and give it to some poor farmers from time to time, which can be considered a good deed!"
I very much agreed with Li Yanfeng's philosophy, but I raised my eyebrows and asked in a nonchalant manner, "Does it mean that the vows made back then no longer count?"
Li Yanfeng vowed, "If it can benefit one party, Li Yanfeng is willing to be struck by five thunderbolts for violating his oath, and he will die without regrets!"
Li Yanfeng and I looked at the sky at the same time. This God is so disrespectful. Li Yanfeng broke the contract and didn't even fart!
We both turned our heads at the same time, looked at each other, and laughed!
Immediately, Li Yanfeng straightened his back, stood like a pine tree, and said with emotion, "The Taoist can cover the sky and the earth. It is immeasurably high and unfathomable. It can wrap up the heaven and the earth and impart it to the invisible. In the final analysis, people can only Only when you are in tune with your own Tao can you remove the evil spirits, and only when you are free from earth and rocks can you be considered to have entered the Tao!"
I nodded, and just as a disobedient kitten came back, Li Yanfeng was about to step forward to pick it up. I quickly grabbed Li Yanfeng and shouted, "Brother Li, step back, I will fight this evil." only'!"
After some moving around, the cat was still held in my arms, and I kneaded it back and forth, making it very happy.
This tranquil Taoyuan life is really unparalleled beauty!
Seeing this, Li Yanfeng covered his mouth and chuckled, and said slowly, "How about it? General Liu, do you want to live here with me for a while and be free from desires?"
I looked at the cat, feeling lonely and depressed in my heart, and whispered softly, "No! Brother Li, let me see you and leave the next day."
Li Yanfeng was a little surprised, "Oh? Why did you come and go in such a hurry?"
I fiddled with the kitten without raising my head and said, "The Pingtian Army still has many official matters for me to finalize. On this trip, I just want to see how things are going in Pingtian in the three counties of Bozhou. I can't delay for too long. Nowadays, the situation in Quzhou is changing with each passing day. If I’m not here, I’m afraid there will be trouble for a long time!”
"Look! Look! My dear brother has become a very busy man!" Li Yanfeng pointed at the wooden sword he put aside, smiled at me and said, "That's fine. Since you have a sharp sword, of course you want to Kill all the little ones in the world! Tonight, brother invites you to drink. I happen to know a wine shop. The aroma of the wine is fragrant, and the taste in the mouth is, tsk tsk, delicious! I just happened to borrow the honor of my dear brother and make an exception, hahaha!"
I said ruthlessly, "Brother Li, there's no need for wine! But you, the Yangyuan Bigu Pill, bring me eighteen thousand pills before you leave, so I can have an explanation to my brothers, right?"
"Phew!" Li Yanfeng patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile, "General Liu, you are joking again. Do you really think I run a medicine shop here? Where did you get 10,000 pills!"
I put my arm around Li Yanfeng's shoulders, laughing and joking, "Brother, if you say there is no, then there must be. Otherwise, we can deliver it in batches. You can give me an IOU later."
Li Yanfeng was immediately stunned. He had a look of helplessness on his face, but seeing my sincere mood, he had no choice but to agree, "Okay, okay! I accept you, but let's agree first that you have to pay for the medicinal materials! As for the interest, well, it will be divided into twenty years." Pay it off!”
I nodded hurriedly, okay!
When I was happy, I accidentally saw the broom standing nearby, and then asked curiously, "Brother Li, isn't it enough that you sweep the floor every day?"
Li Yanfeng straightened his body and said to me, "When you are clear, you can save people, and when you are confused, you can save yourself! Sweeping the floor and calming down are also good!"
I hurriedly asked, "Brother is still obsessed with the past? This is not good. If you are always immersed in the past, it will damage your Taoist heart!"
"That's not true! I don't know how to worry about the year in the mountains. I don't know what to do when I'm free."
Li Yanfeng took the kitten from my hand, stroked it back and forth, and said seriously, "You can't just sit there and look at the sky all the time! You have to find something to do. Once a person is free, wouldn't he be a waste?"
I was convinced, and then I asked sincerely, "Brother, you are a master of Taoism, really you don't want to follow your brother to the world of mortals?"
Li Yanfeng looked at me and laughed, "I do three good deeds every day, and my heart is already in the world of mortals, so why bother going there again?"
I said seriously, "The good that Brother Li did was a small good in the world. What I did for Brother Li was a great good in the world. If you do good deeds and achieve good results, you will definitely become a great virtue!"
Li Yanfeng had a natural expression and was indifferent to what I said. He replied, "The great and small roads are all Tao, and the great and small good are all good. The poor Taoist has limited ability and can only do small good deeds every day. This is enough. I believe, One day, small kindnesses will accumulate into mountains and become great kindnesses!"
Before I could continue speaking, the cat on Li Yanfeng's hand seemed to be frightened. It suddenly shook its little head and swooped into the forest without a trace.
A cloud of air suddenly flowed outside Li Yanfeng's Tianmen, gathering larger and larger, lingering endlessly.
I was shocked when I saw this scene.
I heard from my father that when a mortal understands the way of heaven, there must be fantastic celestial phenomena. Today, the sky is clear and the clouds are visible in the daytime. I think Brother Li is about to enter the country!
So, I held my breath and carefully observed the scene in front of me, for fear of missing some regretful life-long scenes.
Pale white clouds formed a mist ladder in front of Li Yanfeng. Li Yanfeng seemed to have one eye closed, and he was walking up the steps. It was supposed to be the way down the mountain, but he walked through the clouds, soared up, and stepped directly on the top of a pine tree. He tiptoed a little, and with the help of the swaying strength of the pine branches, his body rose into the air again, straight up to the heavenly steps, and outside the heavenly gate.
A river of clouds and water floats in the sky, and the white clouds surrounding Li Yanfeng gather and disperse, upstream to the Wilderness of Heaven and down to the Infinite Gate. Li Yanfeng walks around in the mist with a look of enjoyment, like a free bird.
In the half-mist, Li Yanfeng shouted loudly, "If you want to form a square and a circle and follow its rules, everything will work, and all things have rules. Follow the rules, follow the road, follow the river, and you will travel steadily and far." , become the great road!"
This is Li Yanfeng’s way, and it is also my way.
Seeing this, I seemed to understand something, and I smiled sincerely, holding Sai Chitu in my hand, and slowly descended the stairs.
Everything in this world is nothing more than keeping your heart. If you don’t change your original intention, everything can be accomplished!
After leaving the pine forest, Li Yanfeng returned to the ground. I turned my head slightly, and I could still vaguely see the faint figure, looking at me from a distance in front of the mountain gate, as if to see me off.
Unable to conceal the excitement in my heart, I turned around and held up my hands, shouting loudly, "The ancient custom of Shuihe Temple is still there, and there is a successor to the five talented Taoists. Congratulations to Brother Li for catching a glimpse of the secret of heaven, teaching me the Tao, and entering the realm of things!"
Some blurry figures in the distance waved to me, and a small bag floated towards me. I hugged it with one hand and shook it gently. The small pills collided with each other inside, making a pleasant sound. As expected, there should be a bag of Yangyuan Bigu Pills in it.
I got on the horse and walked away with a smile.
Life is different. You have a boat full of clear dreams, and I have a lot of pride. They all say that people who are different should not seek each other's side. Maybe those who are generals want to seek common ground while reserving differences.
The external teacher created good fortune and gained the source of the heart.
Great road leads to simplicity, different paths lead to the same destination!
