Bai Feng, as far as the first impression is concerned, he is a resolute and cold person in the eyes of Ge Hu and Ge Mao: he treats others as he pleases, never seems to consider other people's feelings, and hates flattery and boring daily conversations.
, but similarly, he never cares whether others consider his feelings or not, so in this regard he treats himself and others the same.
Even in most cases, he treats himself more harshly than he treats others, such as this crazy decision right now.
In order to facilitate movement, Bai Feng had already cut her hair short at the beginning of the journey, but for the sake of keeping warm, she still left a little length. When the hair is not tied up, it probably reaches the chin position, and when tied up, it will be combed to the back of the head.
It turned into a small braid. His beard was long, thick, and black. From a distance, he looked like a savage.
Seeing that the wind and snow outside were about to stop, Bai Feng immediately signaled Ge Mao to tie Ge Hu up and fasten it to his back again - he was carrying something like a horse, which he made by himself, allowing Ge Hu to sit on his back.
It stays on your body and won't fall out easily.
Relying on this device, Bai Feng was able to carry Ge Hu on his back and successfully climb down the ice wall coming out of the Sutra Cave. Of course, Ge Mao's help was indispensable.
Now, they have to leave their temporary haven and continue walking down the mountain.
They seem to be drifting on the horizon, coming from a place above the clouds. After experiencing severe cold and fatigue, they usually can only walk down a slope after working hard for a whole day.
The clouds were still surrounding them, and the sky had never been so close to them.
——We can’t get out?
Looking up, the mysterious blue is twinkling with starlight. This is a cosmic candle that lasts for thousands of years. The cold light without temperature makes people unable to detect the real feeling. It is like this endless snow line, which is easy to understand as long as you are in it.
will be lost.
——The night bonfire rises again.
Taking this opportunity, Ge Mao wanted to carefully observe Bai Feng's every move for the first time: all his actions were traceable, and he was never sloppy. He lit a fire when he needed it, and took measures to block the wind when he needed it.
Feng Zhao, in short, he just wanted to take himself and his master Ge Hu down the mountain.
"Why do you have to work so hard...it's so hard." Ge Mao recalled that when they were still in the Buddhist Scripture Cave, he and Ge Hu were unknowingly guided by Bai Feng and silently agreed to this decision.
"Go down the mountain, you must go down the mountain!"
This is what Bai Feng said at the time.
"To continue to stay here is to slowly wait for death. Only by going down the mountain can the Spiritual Snake Temple be reborn."
There was no hesitation in his eyes, and he felt from the bottom of his heart that his decision was a matter of course.
"Leave now."
Ge Hu seemed to see Ge Mao's doubts and asked: "Ge Mao, it's your first time going down the mountain, isn't it hard?"
"Master, can we really go out..."
"Since I went up the mountain, the old Taoist has never been out, so if you ask my teacher about this, I won't know." Ge Hu looked at Bai Feng and continued: "Old Taoist, he is old after all."
Ge Mao thought about it carefully, does he really need to go down the mountain? Does he really need to meet other people? Does he really need to be in contact with the outside world?
Even if you don't go down the mountain, you can survive by relying on the food grown in the mountains in the spring; even if you don't know other people, you can enrich your spiritual world by relying on the classics in the scripture cave; even if you have never been in contact with the outside world,
He was able to spend so many years safely!
——Nothing needs to be changed, nothing needs to be changed.
There was a crackle of fireworks in the air.
Ge Mao stood up, mustered up the courage to face Bai Feng, and said to the savage-like guy: "Mr. Bai, Xiaodao doesn't want to mess around with you anymore!"
"Ah?" Bai Feng glanced at Ge Mao as if nothing had happened, then turned back and continued to use the dagger to arrange the fire.
"Can't you hear what the trail is talking about? If you walk like this, you will never get out. If you are not careful, you may die on the road!" Ge Mao said: "What is there in the mountain? Mr. Bai has also experienced it, right? Coexist with the mountain.
Over time, people will become more and more afraid of mountains. Mountains have tempers! If you insist on disobeying them, they will punish you."
"So?" Bai Feng scooped out some of the hot water and ate the iced steamed buns with the hot tea.
"So?! Mr. Bai, since ancient times, those who try to disobey the way of heaven are bound to perish. Xiaodao advises you to turn back and give up!" Ge Maoyi changed his previous attitude of fully supporting Bai Feng. He is now on the opposite side.
Bai Feng smiled and said: "Where are you going back? The Scripture Cave? Can you let nature take its course when you return there? Do you still want to say that you will inherit the mantle of Taoist Ge Hu and then stay alone in the Scripture Cave?
Will you stay there until you die of old age? Or you can wait until the opportunity comes and you can regain the Taoist temple! Let me ask you, those of you who are used to staying in caves, have your brains been occupied by caves? "
"What's wrong with the Tao? Isn't it good to live in the present!" Ge Mao argued: "The Tao is natural, and you can do nothing. As long as it conforms to the natural cycle, everything is the best arrangement! Master, don't you agree with me, apprentice?"
?”
Seeing that Ge Hu was silent, Ge Mao was at a loss. He thought to himself: "Isn't this what Master taught me?"
"What's wrong with living in the present? As far as the current situation is concerned, you are just waiting to die slowly! Do you really feel that you have achieved enlightenment and soared?" Bai Feng said: "Living in the present is not the reason for you to be afraid of change. I am just leading you to a better place.
A good future, if Taoist Ge Mao doesn't want to, you can go back by yourself, does Taoist Ge Hu have any objections?"
Ge Hu said: "Ge Mao, you are no longer a child. As a teacher, you will not stop me."
"Master..." Ge Mao clenched his fists and fell into a long silence.
Bai Feng opened the wind shield and looked outside the mountain wall and said, "It's going to stop snowing. Let's eat quickly. We have to finish this section of the road today."
"It's troublesome to go with others." Bai Feng went out alone. He didn't mean to say this to anyone in particular, but Ge Mao felt that every sentence was sarcastic to himself: "The only unchanging truth in the world
, that is, everything in the world is always changing, and those who long to live in the present forever are destined to perish and be swallowed by this mountain."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Ge Hu looked at Bai Feng's back and sighed uneasily: "Junior brother, it turns out that we still haven't made any progress after so many years..."
Soon, they set off again.
Ge Mao was carrying water and food, and Bai Feng was carrying the most important cargo - Ge Hu. The two took turns walking in front to block the wind. When they couldn't hold on any longer, they walked behind the other person, and their cooperation became more and more skillful.
As the snow line became shallower and shallower, they could almost see complete mountain walls and land that were not covered with snow.
The wind died down and the snowfall began to turn into a drizzle and eventually stopped.
How long have you been walking for?
Ge Mao touched his chin and was surprised to find that he also had stubble. He looked up at the sky. The melancholy and mysterious dark blue was no longer visible, replaced by white clouds. The only thing that was the same as the mountain was
, there is still no sunlight visible here.
He felt that he somewhat understood what Bai Feng had said before.
Bai Feng passed by a land temple and showed a long-lost smile. He knelt there and prayed for a moment, and then continued to carry Ge Hu through the forest.
This is uncultivated wasteland, but it is much easier to walk than the snowy fields on the mountains.
The sun does not appear suddenly. It first blows a gust of warm wind, carrying the sweet aroma of wheat straw. People in the forest seem to have stepped into a peach blossom garden in an instant.
It’s still that harvest season.
Bai Feng led Ge Hu and Ge Mao back to Zhuxian Town.
Farmers who were busy harvesting in the autumn saw such a few slovenly people coming from the direction of Kunlun Mountain, which attracted special attention. Some people came up curiously and asked, "Where are you from?"
Bai Feng said: "I...do you know where Lu Tianxiu is?"
"Mr. Lu is at home now!"
"Can you take me there to say hello?"
The warm-hearted farmer took pity on the miserable state of Bai Feng and his party, and sold a favor to serve as a guide.
After a while, several people came to the Lu Mansion. Bai Feng didn't want to reveal his identity, so he secretly told the Lu family's young man who he was and asked him to introduce him. Sure enough, Zhang Sidan quickly ran away with the two children.
came out.
There are two children, the older one looks to be four or five years old, and the younger one is probably not yet one month old.
"Mr. Bai!?" Zhang Sidan stared at Bai Feng as if he was in another world: "Are you still alive?"
"It's me..." Bai Feng put Ge Hu down. Ge Hu moved his body with emotion, and then Bai Feng asked: "Are these all your children? Are they all so old?"
"Yes, after all, five years have passed..."
"What?"
Bai Feng stood there in disbelief.
"Five years? It's been five years?"
"Mr. Bai..."
The child looked at Bai Feng in confusion. His eyes seemed to be saying, shouldn't we be happy on the day of harvest?
"Where is Yan'er? Where is Yan'er!"
"Yan'er is not here. Mr. Bai, please listen to me first!!!"
Bai Feng stared at Zhang Sidan as if she had collapsed, scaring the baby in her arms to tears. Unintentionally, he remembered what Ge Hu had said when he was in the Buddhist Scripture Cave.
——It is meaningless to calculate time in this place.
He looked helplessly at Ge Hu, then suddenly rushed out of the door and went straight to the town. Seeing this, Ge Hu ordered Ge Mao to follow him and said: "We must let Bai Feng calm down, but we can't let him act stupid."
