This loyal and innocent child has become more mature in martial arts. Full of longing for King Lieying, Red Fox bid farewell to Princess Liehui and prepared to leave Qin and go to Dachu.
Dress lightly and be obedient, have superb lightness skills, walk briskly, and walk lightly over the eaves. The red fox left the Qin Palace and flew up to the roof to meet his master Li Shan and his mother.
"Disciple, you want to go back to Dachu. How do you plan to return to Chu? By land or by water?" Mother Lishan asked tentatively.
"Master, my disciple didn't think too much about it. Is the land route more suitable?"
"Haha, my disciple is not very thoughtful! Traveling by land and water is time-consuming, isn't it?"
Red Fox was speechless and didn't know how to answer Old Mother Lishan.
"Disciple, why don't you master teach you the power of soaring in the clouds and riding in the mist, so that you can make military exploits in the future and honor your ancestors in the Hu family." Old mother Lishan recalled the image of Red Fox in his previous life. He was so naive. Now he is reincarnated as a human being, suffering from life and death, separation, hatred and the five desires. Painful, she even sighed, she didn't want her beloved disciple to suffer physical and mental pain or death again. So he taught the immortal family the method to save his own life.
"Disciple, I will obey my master's orders. Thank you, master!"
Red Fox is loyal and courageous. As long as he hears about learning skills, he will be happy in his heart. He will prostrate himself in front of Lishan's mother, "It's just Master, how long does it take to practice this skill of soaring into the clouds and riding on the mist? I can't delay too long on the way back to Chu!"
Mother Lishan said with a smile: "The method of the immortal family relies entirely on cultivation, eliminating the five desires and six dusts, calming the mind, eliminating distracting thoughts, and abstaining from greed, anger, ignorance, love and hate."
"What does Master want me to do, can I learn it?" Red Fox is impatient.
"I'll take you somewhere."
Lishan Mother took Red Fox to a Guanyin Temple. Find a secluded place to sit down, she told Red Fox. You must meditate, be still, calm your mind, stop thinking, and be ruthless before you can practice the method of soaring into the clouds and riding on the mist.
Red Fox thought: "That's good! I have already studied Qing Gong. If I can master the method of flying in the clouds and riding the mist, I will be even more powerful to the eldest son of Chu State, King Lieying."
He practiced according to Lishan's mother's method and did not allow himself to slack off in the slightest.
There is a saying: In general, the key to learning an art is specialization. Practice makes perfect. If you understand and comprehend, from quantitative change to qualitative change, your skill will naturally increase greatly. Red Fox has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and has become one of the best martial arts in the world. In addition to his amazing talent, it is the unbreakable truth that he specializes in the art.
If Red Fox used to practice martial arts with dynamic jumps and dexterous spins, then this time Mother Lishan asked him to rest his body and mind and practice quiet skills.
Red Fox knelt in front of the Guanyin statue, got rid of distracting thoughts, and prayed with concentration. Mother Lishan saw that Red Fox was practicing so peacefully that his mind was not distracted and his ears were no longer ringing with wind, so she infused his power behind him.
Mother Guanyin appeared and said to Mother Lishan:
"Mom, your disciple was a stubborn disciple in his previous life. I didn't expect that he would develop righteousness, loyalty, perseverance, and wisdom in the human world. I'm here to help him, so that he can sail on the water and ride on the mist and clouds."
After the martial arts teaching was completed, the two old mothers left laughing.
When Red Fox meditates, all his consciousness is in concentration. Naturally, I never heard the conversation between the two old mothers. After an hour, Red Fox woke up and felt relaxed all over. He moved his muscles and bones, and unexpectedly, when his feet touched the ground, he soared into the sky. He was overjoyed and thought: "This should be the method of flying in the clouds and riding in the mist that Master said."
"Master, Master." Red Fox called Lishan's mother eagerly, and Master's echo came from the sky: "Red Fox, you go back to Chu Kingdom."
Red Fox said to the master with tears in his eyes: "Master, don't worry, I will be a good person."
The red fox touched the ground with his feet, jumped up, and rose into the sky. The auspicious clouds surged up and he was lifted up by the auspicious clouds. Facing the Chu Kingdom, he flew on the clouds. The white cranes in the sky are dancing for it, and the tigers and leopards in the forest are noisy for it. He led the wild geese across the Qinling Mountains, across the Yellow River, across the Huaihe River, across the Dongting. He carried the river fish and crossed the Yangtze River. The rivers are vast, the lakes and mountains are long, the Yunmeng River is vast, and the Qishu Mountain is lush and green. Seeing the Qishou Mountain rising from the ground, the main peak is majestic and towering, complementing the Yunmeng River. These two treasures are moistened by wind and rain, live and breathe, and educate all living things and people.
Red Fox, a man of steel and iron, quickly arrived at Xiangshuiwu, where he was born and raised, and his hometown, an ordinary small village on the outskirts of Chu Palace at the foot of Qishou Mountain, thanks to the help of his master. He couldn't help but feel emotional. He hadn't seen his parents for a long time. He didn't know if his parents were getting older now. Thinking of this, Red Fox couldn't help but shed tears.
He didn't dare to fly to the clouds because he was afraid of frightening his parents. He happily descended the clouds and stepped on the solid earth of his homeland, jumping up and down and rushing home. Red Fox opened the door to his house, and his father was weaving bamboo baskets in the main room.
"Dad, I'll come back to see you!" Red Fox went straight to his father, helped his father up, then hugged his father's shoulders, and kept kneading them with his right hand.
"Dad, I'll come back to see you! What, Dad, don't you believe it?" The father was so surprised that he couldn't speak at first, then he laughed heartily and shouted into the kitchen:
"Ying'er is back. My dear, Ying'er is back!" Red Fox's mother walked out of the kitchen happily:
"Oh, our Ying'er is really back. My child, you are doing well in Chu Palace! Finally, my mother hopes to have you back." Red Fox's mother looked at his strong body and stroked Red Fox's forehead: " My child, you have really grown up. Your face looks much broader."
"Mom, the baby is fine! Master Chu Palace is very kind to me, and my martial arts skills are getting better and better. Moreover, Master..." Red Fox suddenly remembered that his parents didn't know about his previous life, let alone him. My master Lishan is my mother. Just when he was about to say what his master taught him, he swallowed his words.
Red Fox followed his mother to the kitchen room and made a fire to cook together. My father caught a fish and prepared to make soup.
"Dad, I don't eat fish."
"Don't eat fish?" my father asked.
"Yes. Mom and dad, you can eat it." Red Fox remembered what Lishan's old mother said when she taught him the art: "Red Fox, to learn the art of flying in the clouds and riding in the mist, it is best not to eat meat and fish. If you are exposed to meat and fish, your skills will weaken. If If my parents don’t mind me letting it go, I can let it go too.”
"Then let it go! If you don't eat it, what will it taste like for us two? Besides, when we get such a good boy like you in our old age, we should all be grateful to Guanyin Bodhisattva. Amitabha! This is the blessing we have accumulated over many lifetimes." Mother Fox bowed to the sky while talking.
When the neighbors discovered that the great hero Red Fox was back, they all crowded in front of Red Fox's house. Everyone praised Red Fox with their words, which made Red Fox's eyes moist and his heart warm.
"Red Fox, do you still remember the time you caught a thief when you were a child? That action, those fists and kicks, and that swordsmanship were so amazing! You showed your face for our village."
"Red Fox, your swordsmanship is famous far and wide. The eldest son of the King of Chu is recruiting troops and looking for you everywhere! Our whole village is proud of you!"
...
Red Fox was embarrassed by the praise from the fellow villagers, so he just smiled and said, "Everyone, come in and sit down! Come in and sit down!" The whole village was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
Red Fox thought that his father and fellow villagers welcomed him warmly, and it was difficult to leave his parents' affection, but he was busy with official duties and could not stay in his hometown for long after all, so he rested for a while and went straight to Chu Palace. (To be continued)
