I was really embarrassed when I coughed, but my unscrupulous master actually laughed from the sidelines. I didn’t know what was so funny about this.
It took me almost more than a minute to calm down a little, and I looked helplessly at the laughing master. He looked at me and looked at him, and immediately pretended to be nonchalant, stared into the distance and started to whistle, as if He was not the person who laughed at me just now.
I’m too lazy to argue with him. After so many years, it would be nonsense if I still haven’t gotten used to his occasionally unreliable character.
So I pretended to have forgotten what happened just now and asked Master: "Master, you said that a secret religion in Tibetan areas can truly open the door to Penglai. Why? I know Penglai is on the sea. How could it be possible in Tibetan areas? ?Only by following the dragon and walking smoothly can you possibly see the real Penglai!"
Master used a towel to wring it out in the water, then wiped away the water droplets on his face, and leaned on a stone very carefreely, and then said to me: "The sea has changed, do you understand the meaning of this sentence? The deep meaning refers to the change of time, but the superficial meaning is that the place that was once a vast sea will now become a mulberry field. It means that Hidden is the place with the highest altitude today, but fossils of ancient marine life were found there. How do you do that? look?"
At this moment, I also calmed down. I took the clothes and pants placed on the shore, took out the cigarette inside, and lit one for myself. The meaning of Master's words was too clear. I took a puff of the cigarette and said: " I understand, Master, what you mean is that Tibet was probably a sea a long time ago, right? Even if it is definitely, it is now land. According to Taoist classics, Penglai is absolutely impossible to appear on land."
Master snatched the cigarette from my hand, took a puff of it hesitantly, threw it to me again, and cursed with a smile: "This thing is far less powerful than dry cigarettes, and I can't do it in my life." Smoking habit.”
I smiled and said nothing. In my memory, the Master in my soul is always the figure holding a cigarette in his mouth. If he were smoking a cigarette, I would be very awkward.
The incident just now was just a small interlude. Master just laughed and cursed and continued: "When I say where can the Penglai Gate be truly opened again, does it mean that the Penglai Gate can be opened there again? The ancient sea, always There will be something left there, are you right? If you get those things left behind, you can truly and inevitably open the door to Penglai. So "
Master did not continue talking, but I frowned slightly. If there is such a thing in secret religion, it must be something that others are looking for, right? So is it that easy to go to your door and ask for it? If we start a fight, won't it make us look unreasonable? Speaking of which, it is better to look for a dragon that is about to become a dragon!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help shouting: "Master, I think"
Master seemed to see what I was thinking, waved his hand and said: "I know what you are thinking? First of all, do you think the dragon that is about to become a dragon is just a cabbage, and you can find it if you just look for it? And walking the dragon is a cruel process, among which The hardships and tribulations can be written into a book, and the chance of success is not high. We were lucky last time! In addition, we got closer to Penglai by walking on the dragon and becoming a dragon. In fact, God did not allow it. It won’t be that easy once, and even our group may never have the chance to approach Penglai in this way. However, some things cannot wait, and we must enter Penglai through this inevitable method."
"But, Master, unless that secret sect is particularly generous, you also know that the relics left in Penglai are not ordinary items, right? They will lend them to us. Otherwise, is it possible that we will rob others?" This is me The biggest worry in my heart.
It’s a bit funny to say that, as a disciple, I am worried that the master will be too radical for certain things and have an ‘evil path’, although I know in my heart that the master is a very good person.
Master said: "If you are from a well-known and upright family, you really don't have to worry that they will not lend this thing! Because what will happen will have some impact on the entire circle of cultivators, or the world. All upright cultivators We all know that spiritual practice is something that goes against heaven, and the reason why God turns a blind eye and allows us as a special group of people to exist is because God wants us to shoulder more moral things. .There are many wrong views in this world now, just like a person who says to save the world and repay the society will be regarded as a fool. But I believe that one day, people will understand that when thinking in life, I think about this What has society done? My life is as short as a meteor passing by, but the meaning of life lies in making a contribution to the whole, even if it is a small push."
At this point, Master paused and said with a smile: "I'm going too far, I just can't stop talking about this."In short, they are not decent people, and none of them bear moral responsibility! On the contrary, there are rumors that this sect should have been pulled out of hiding long ago, and what they have done is horrific. Even if it's not for Penglai, let's do something righteous. "
When Master said this, I suddenly thought of Tao Bai and Lu Shan, and what we experienced at the border of Tibetan areas. I couldn't help but feel something in my heart, and I was about to say something.
But I saw that the master's face suddenly became a little strange, a little excited, a little cautious, the whole person was frozen there, and more nervous.
Why is Master acting like this suddenly? Seeing Master's expression, I had to hold back everything I said, but Master's eyes were fixed on one place. When I saw Master like this, I didn't dare to ask Master anything, so I could only follow Master's lead. eyes looking towards the same place.
It was in a place near a waterfall in a deep pool. There was a standing rock there, about as tall as a person. Master's gaze rested on that spot.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I did not notice anything amiss there, but upon looking more closely, I could not look away.
Because there is a snake entangled there. It is not big. Even if it is entangled, it is only 1 or 2 meters in length. It is very inconspicuous and dark in color. It is not easy to notice if you are not careful. It is just like a black-tip snake. Similar.
But once you see it, you can no longer take your eyes away. Many people know that enamel has the same color. Enamel gives people the feeling of radiance, because the color of enamel is made by grinding ore and burning. If it is made with ordinary pigments, it will not have that radiant feeling at first glance.
Similarly, the black snake gives people a very ordinary feeling, just a black ball, but this little snake gives people the feeling of being shining under its snake skin. It does not shine. It flows with a gorgeous jewel color.
And that dark color contains a kind of reflective red. When you look at it in a trance, it looks like a ball of flame wrapping this little snake.
In fact, Master and I are no strangers to it. When we were escaping in a hurry, we once saw it at a glance and judged it to be a tango snake!
At this time, Master and I looked at it. It was crouching on its body and looking at us with its head held high.
"Compared to the stiffness of Master and I, this snake's movements and expressions make people laugh or cry. How can a snake hold its neck high and then tilt its head to look at people? In particular, the eyes of this snake are slightly larger than the eyes of ordinary snakes. It is a bit like Chengzhen's cute snake, deliberately trying to be cute.
Of course, others (perhaps it should be 'Bie Snake') are born like this. Although their big eyes are not as exaggeratedly big as the cute snake, it's just that the emotions revealed by such a pair of eyes are too rich, and the way they look at us is clearly It was playful and a little curious, full of some freshness, but without any malicious look.
"However, I don't know if it is intentional. It's okay if Master and I don't move. If there is a slight movement, its neck will move back and forth. It feels like a cobra is about to attack the target.
"Master and I are Taoists, and we already have a kind of awe for the existence of the tango snake, so when we see it like this, we dare not act rashly.
The water in the deep pool was originally very cold, and Master and I soaked most of our bodies in the pool, which should have been very cool and comfortable. However, after this strange snake appeared, Master and I both had snakes all over our foreheads. Thin beads of sweat.
I don’t know why, but the air outside the pool feels a bit hotter.
"This snake is extraordinary." Master suddenly whispered to me.
Is not this nonsensical? Are there any 'ordinary' snakes? It was too uncomfortable to be so stiff, so I whispered: "Isn't this the snake? It should be the holy snake that Xiao Ding said he wanted to protect. By the way, before I left, Xiao Ding greeted me However, if you see anything, just pretend you didn’t see anything, and don’t worry about it or provoke it. If it doesn’t work, just shout out to him. What he should say is, maybe we saw this tan snake? "
"I'm not sure whether it's a snake or not. After all, it's the secret of the Snake Sect, but it should be their Holy Snake. If Xiao Ding said this, let's go? With this little guy looking at me, I Why do you feel weak inside?" As the master spoke, he was already tentatively trying to stand up slowly.
I felt the same way. At the same time, I tried to stand up slowly, but I always had a premonition that something was going to happen? But what will happen? After all, I can't feel the malice of this snake yet.
