The moon and stars are sparse,
Winter entered Kyoto overnight.
In an instant, I entered the festival.
The festival is the Spring Festival.
Kyoto is decorated in red, there are brilliant fireworks, and there are also people talking and laughing on the streets.
Xiao Bailong hid in Chen Luo's sleeve.
Sitting with Chen Luo in the Shili Pavilion, chatting with some uncles.
The nagging thing is that the parents are short-sighted.
It’s about the joy of the Spring Festival.
From today onwards, it is the first year of Tianding. For the people, it is equivalent to entering a new dynasty.
Even though he is still a big man.
But the emperor is different, so there is no problem in calling it a new dynasty.
Shiliting was not originally called Shiliting.
Five hundred years ago, Shili Pavilion was called Chunyu Lane. At that time, the Ji family was in Chunyu Lane...
Because I came to the Qiyang River in the capital.
There is another bridge called Chunyu Bridge
So it was called Chunyu Lane!
Later someone built a pavilion here.
The pavilion is called Shili Pavilion.
Many stories have emerged here over the centuries...
The most important thing is that an immortal once fished under the willow tree next to the pavilion.
I heard that the immortal is Chen...
It seems.
Lived here in Shiliting.
In memory of the immortal, it was renamed Shiliting.
An old man pointed to a house not far away...
"See that house? That sage lives there...
Over the years, although the house was deserted, no one lived in it. I heard that later it became a big family, like the Ji family...
Of course, it was too long ago, so there may be discrepancies. Maybe it was a mistake. "
Chen Luo said: "That's right. That place is the Ji family, which used to be everyone in Kyoto. The head of the family is Ji Bao, and he is a good person...
Later he had a son, Ji Yun, who was a general of the Zhou Dynasty and guarded Lincheng for decades. "
"Huh? Young man, how do you know?"
The old man was a little surprised: "Why haven't you heard anyone say this? According to you, the Ji family has produced a general. The Ji family should still be around now."
"It's a pity that the third generation of the Ji family has declined..."
"Three generations of decline? Why?"
"How can there be so many reasons for things in this world? If you really want to say it, it is probably to forget your original intention."
The old man nodded: "People can't forget their original intentions. If they forget, everything will be different."
Still want to continue chatting.
Some children came to ask for red envelopes or candies.
The Han Dynasty has many customs.
It has existed since ancient times.
During the Spring Festival holiday, if you see a child, either give him a small red envelope or give him a candy.
Candy is pretty simple too.
It's just some fried fruits...
Coated with a thin layer of syrup or something.
It's not very tasty either.
But children like it, and it’s cheap...
Wrapped with a small piece of oil paper, it has become a popular snack for big men.
Most people give some candies and give good luck.
But this is most people, Chen Luo has always been generous.
So I asked Chen Da to prepare some red envelopes early...
The red envelope contains copper coins.
One.
Three pieces.
Five.
All.
Just asking for this red envelope is not easy, you need to say some kind words and blessings.
What longevity is better than Nanshan?
What a happy new year.
Whatever you have every year will count!
But these simple words are worth a copper plate,
If you want ten cents, you need to spend some effort and show some skills.
Chen Luo originally thought that no one would have this opportunity.
until……
A blind man stood in front of him.
The blind man looks like he is seven or eight years old.
Holding a cane.
Although the clothes on his body were a bit old, they were washed white.
He said.
"They say that if you say something nice to you, you will get a red envelope. The nicer the words, the more... right?"
asked the Little Blind Man.
Chen Luo nodded: "Little brother, let me say a few words."
"good…"
The little blind man said: "I wish you good fortune, may you have children early, two in a year, three in two years, a wife in May, a concubine in July, August and September, and a new wife in October."
Chen Luo shook his head.
"What are you saying? It's too vulgar. That's all. I'll give you a red envelope. It's very meaningful."
Take out the red envelope.
Pass it to the little blind man.
The little blind man felt the red envelope, was stunned for a moment, then saluted, turned around and left with a cane to explore it.
"hypocritical!"
Fellow Taoist Bailong's voice appeared.
Chen Luo didn't like to answer.
What is hypocrisy?
I just thought the kid was pretty good, so I gave him a few pieces of silver.
"Apart from Hongxiu, who are the remaining concubines?"
Chen Luo:......
Not answering.
Bailong didn’t ask any more questions…
On the contrary...
"The little blind man?"
Chen Luo asked the old man beside him.
The old man sighed: "His name is Lu Ziming...a poor child.
I heard that I was blind when I was born, my father died early, and my mother died two years ago.
Now, he was alone, but it wasn't bad.
I play the erhu very well...
then.
In this Kyoto, if there is anything red or white, people often call him.
It doesn't make any money either.
He was so young, only seven or eight years old, and he didn't earn much.
I can give you a small red envelope.
Or a full meal is always possible. "
Chen Luo nodded...
That's a pretty good kid.
"By the way, the young man is not married yet?"
the old man asked. "
Chen Luo nodded: "Not yet."
"How old are you this year?"
Chen Luo couldn't answer.
How old?
More than seven hundred and thirty? Or more than fifty?
forget.
So I had to answer: "It's quite big."
"Then we're going to get married."
The old man said: "Fifteen bundles of hair, twenty weak crowns, thirty standing tall, forty not confused, fifty knowing destiny, sixty sixty, seventy rare, eighty old...
This man, when he reaches fifteen, it’s time to start a family.
By thirty, you should have achieved something.
It is essential to have a wife by your side to be complete.
You look like you're not young anymore, it's time to get married.
Otherwise, it would be unfilial... I think you are pretty good, old man. Among the old men, there are also girls with big waists and big butts... eh? Where are the young people? "
Chen Luo said without looking back: "Go home, eat, and sleep!"
What a ghost...
Originally, I just wanted to go out for a walk, but I encountered someone urging me to get married.
how?
Don’t you have a peaceful time during the holidays?
It doesn't make sense...
[You have encountered the urge to marry. Although you are a little embarrassed, your thoughts have also changed.
PS:
The words are rough but not rough. If his wife and daughter are here at this time, it seems that it is also a good choice. 】
"what's on your mind?"
"No."
"I don't believe it."
"You still have to believe it."
"You want to get married?"
"Not really, I just feel like there are some things that need to be done."
"What?"
"Tell me...why can't our family give birth to Chen Ping'an and Chen Ning'an?"
"..."
"Why don't you speak?"
"..."
"Fellow Taoist Bailong?"
No response.
sigh……
Sure enough, women are always so difficult to understand.
She was the one who started the conversation.
Halfway through, he stopped replying...
If it really doesn't work, can you help us? Why are you so cold?
Hundreds of years of friendship turned out to be so unbearable.
Think about it.
This heart actually feels a little bad.
Went home.
Chen Da stood up and swept the snow off Chen Luo's body.
He said.
"The food has been prepared at home and we are waiting for the master to come back."
"It's really hard work."
Chen Luo said.
Although Chen Da is just a rat demon whom he inspired in the past, he is still pretty good.
For hundreds of years, they have never left the west side of the city.
Even the Chen family does not entertain others...
As for him.
It even faded out of everyone’s sight.
Although he is his own butler in Kyoto, he never does anything messy in his name.
This is impeccable.
"Master can't say that."
smiled.
ask:
"Where's the Cat Lady?"
"I'm reading in the study..."
"Where's Adou?"
"Mr. Adou, there is something strange."
Chen Da hesitated for a moment, as if he didn't know whether he should say it or not, but he said it anyway.
"When the master went out today, he raised his head and looked at the peach tree, as if he wanted to see some shadow coming out.
It was still fine.
But in the afternoon, I sighed for a while,
Smile for a moment.
After a while, he looked even more satisfied.
It's weird anyway. "
But after hearing this, Chen Luo smiled instead.
Before he could explain, the little snake appeared from his sleeve and turned into Fellow Taoist White Dragon.
Fellow Taoist glanced at Chen Da.
It seems that this rat demon is too stupid.
"He just realized it!"
"Understood?"
Chen Da suddenly realized: "Are you going to break through the three realms?"
"It's not about cultivation, but the state of mind... This is probably more difficult than cultivation."
The words fell to the ground.
There seemed to be a buzzing sound between heaven and earth.
Spring has suddenly arrived in Kyoto.
The strong grass breaks the ground.
New shoots sprout from old branches...
Even the peach blossoms bloom their petals in the New Year.
royal palace.
Kyoto.
Nanyang Mountain.
Countless people were surprised...
I don’t know who caused the strange phenomena in heaven and earth.
Cat Lady walked out of the study and saw Chen Luo coming back.
"Master?"
"Let's go and see Adou."
Adou is still in the yard...
There was no change in the breath, but it seemed to be different at this time.
Seeing Chen Luo coming, he saluted.
"Have you met sir?"
"Feeling it?"
"Um……"
Wu Adou thought about it and said, "There are just some things that I don't understand very well. I wonder if you, sir, can give me some advice?"
"I can't talk about giving advice, but I can talk about it."
Entered the pavilion.
He motioned for Adou to sit down.
On the first day of the first lunar month of the first year of the Han Dynasty, it was the Chinese New Year, but because of this vision, the yard became more green and full of life.
Adou nodded and sat in front of Chen Luo without delay.
No disrespect.
But it is the elder's will that cannot be dismissed.
He said: "Over the years, Adou walked out of the second floor to seek his inner truth... He has been asking himself, in this world, is it really the only way to become an immortal with the help of incense?
Thousands of years ago, tens of thousands of years ago... was there a way to make incense? If not, who deduced it? "
This kid...
Chen Luo was a little surprised.
Thinking about it so much?
good!
But he had nothing to say and just continued to listen...
Listen to Adou.
He has realized the Tao, and the path he is walking on must have its own explanation. He does not need to explain it. At this time, it is better to be a listener or an audience.
only……
What Chen Luo didn't expect was that Adou's words were a bit outrageous.
Once upon a time I was under a peach tree and was hit by a peach fruit.
He felt that the power in this world was not just incense...
And this is correct.
Mr. Ning Shuan’s Confucianism and Taoism.
Mr. Xiaobai’s divine pattern said.
Are these not different from incense?
This is even more true for Mr. Tao...
Wu Adou can feel the Tao. The Master's Tao is seven or eight times stronger than incense...
but……
What is that power?
Wu Adou didn't understand.
So, over the years, he has been walking, watching, and comprehending. Until today, he finally saw the essence of that power.
When Chen Luo heard this, his expression became a little complicated.
really……
He opened his mouth and said: "Everything and everything in this world has its own power, not incense, but a power that belongs exclusively to heaven and earth.
This kind of power is stronger than incense, stronger than luck, omnipresent, pervasive, visible when you look up and when you look down!
Even when we speak and breathe now, we can feel this power...
Adou called him: the power of heaven and earth! "
He raised his hand...
In the void all around.
There is the power of the wind.
Gathered in his hands.
He tapped his foot lightly on the ground. ,
A force of earth poured into his body.
Looking up.
A thunder and lightning fell in the calm void, but the thunder and lightning appeared in his hand, letting him play with it.
"Can……"
Wu Adou frowned slightly: "But Adou feels that there is something wrong with this force, it seems..."
"It seems that you are a little out of tune with yourself?"
Chen Luo smiled.
Wu Adou was a little surprised: "Sir, do you know how I feel?"
Chen Luo smiled...
No answer.
"Did you know that the power of heaven and earth you talk about was the mainstream path before the ancient times?"
"Um?"
A Dou shook his head: "I don't know."
"Then do you know why this way of cultivation disappeared?
"I don't know."
"Without him, the power between heaven and earth is limited. In ancient times, it was called the power of luck, the natural luck of heaven and earth!
The more Qi is used, the more unbearable the world becomes.
Originally...
This luck is enough, but because there are more and more immortal cultivators, and the longer they live, the more this luck they absorb.
In the end, the power of heaven and earth was not enough, and the luck was not enough, so the immortal cultivator was born at the end of the world!
later.
The surviving cultivators changed their path, and this path was the path of incense...
What started as the power of heaven and earth has turned into the incense that attracts the people and the court.
That's why.
There is only one reincarnation in three thousand years! "
Chen Luo told Wu Adou the story he first heard, and Wu Adou suddenly understood.
turn out to be……
There is a reason behind this.
However, just when he believed it, Chen Luo over there laughed: "Okay, don't act like this, it's just a scam."
Wu Adou:? ? ?
"The so-called power of heaven and earth is just because some people are unwilling to contact immortal cultivators and stand on the same starting point as them. In the end, they use this power to deal with them and lose their current status and identity. So , and made a more rubbish incense to ensure that they can easily harvest it in three thousand years."
Wu Adou:! ! ! !
"Who are those people?"
After listening for a long time, Cat Lady finally couldn't help but ask,
"I have been cultivating immortality all my life, what is my final goal?"
Chen Luo didn't answer.
Just ask them…
When they heard this, Wu Adou, Cat Lady, and even fellow Taoist Bailong fell silent...
Immortal...
It's really... damn!
