"There is a small hole in the wall below. You become a little person and walk in through that small hole!"
"Open the door for me quickly."
"Squeak..."
The door opened, and standing inside was a little girl with her sleeves pushed up high and a brush in her hand. Her arms were white and her hands were still wet, as if she had been doing some work just now.
"Why don't you become a little person?"
"Three Flowers Empress really misses her so much." Song You said, glancing at her lightly, paused, and suddenly asked, "Isn't it that Sanhua Empress has recently written about the coming of Lilliput?"
"!"
The little girl suddenly became alert.
"hehe……"
Song You smiled and walked into the courtyard.
The bay-red horse stood in the middle of the yard, bathing in the sun. There was a bucket of warm water still emitting heat next to him, a small bench, and the ground was wet.
"Squeak..."
The door behind him slowly closed again.
Song You returned to the room.
The sun is good today, so you should sleep with the windows open.
Taking a casual glance at the courtyard, the little girl was standing on the bench again, holding a brush and brushing her horse. Her expression was serious and her movements were gentle.
"Shuisha..."
The sound echoed endlessly in the courtyard.
Song You wanted to sleep at first, but when he saw this, he wanted to watch for a while. As he watched, he remembered what Empress Sanhua said about turning into a little person, so he took out three cubes of soil and held it in his hand.
To be precise, it is not "earth".
Rather, the aura of heaven and earth is condensed and the mystery is embodied.
The two auras left by the Imperial Master came from the north and the central plain respectively. One is like metal, solid and static in nature, and the other is like sand, broad and tolerant.
The water-like aura that comes from the southeastern sea is mysterious and flows hard to find.
However, these are only their most conspicuous, superficial and important aura characteristics. In fact, there are many other aura characteristics, large and small, countless. Each aspect is extremely complex, and some of the thousands of characteristics are completely different.
There are often contradictions and overlaps.
Perhaps these differences are where they complement each other, where contradictions are where they collide and change, and where they overlap is where they are integrated and riveted.
Song You has often understood the mystery this year.
This is the essence of the aura of heaven and earth, and it will condense into another small world, in which the mystery of heaven and earth is naturally contained.
If we say that the law is natural, this is the condensation of nature.
The underworld is a great opportunity for the imperial master, the emperor, and many gods. Even if Song You only promotes cohesion and participates in the construction, he does not gain profits from the underworld, but can participate in promoting the process of its emergence.
It was already his chance.
Song You didn't ask for this, but when he got it, he didn't let it go.
In fact, it is because it is both rewarding and fun.
If you can fully understand the aura of any one of them, it will be enough to influence a world just like the wonderful world overseas. If you can fully understand all of them, you may become your own small world.
Just the word "thoroughly" is too difficult.
The world is infinite and time is endless. However, when human life and human strength are exhausted, it is only a hundred years. No matter how talented you are, it is still impossible to fully understand one of them, let alone all of them. Just practice and enlightenment is like learning, the path
Just because you can't see the end doesn't mean you can't go far. Every step forward is your own gain.
No matter how much you can comprehend, it is all a gain.
Even a little bit is a magical power.
And the most important point -
The heavenly palace above the head also comes from this.
The white clouds in the sky flow away, and time gradually passes.
The aura spreads outward quietly and silently.
It seemed like days had passed, yet it seemed like only a moment.
By the time Song You slowly came back to his senses from his thoughts, a calico cat was lying beside the bed, sleeping soundly, while it was already dusk outside.
Half the afternoon was gone.
"well……"
Song You sighed, agreed to take a lunch break, and took it again.
He carefully lifted the quilt and was just about to get up so as not to disturb the mainstay of the family. However, Minjue, the cat, immediately lifted his head from his paws and turned to stare at him in confusion.
"Taoist priest, are you awake?"
"woke up."
"Sanhua Empress had a dream, and she seemed to have dreamed that Sanhua Empress turned into a very big cat."
"Congratulations to Empress Sanhua."
"When Sanhua Empress came in to look for you just now, she seemed to see that the table had become so small, it was not as big as Sanhua Empress. She also saw that the bench had become so big that both sides were poking into the wall. It was strange."
"Then what?"
"Then Empress Sanhua suddenly became drowsy and ran to bed to dream."
"Maybe that was also a dream."
"right……"
As Sanhua Empress said, she suddenly shook her head, as if she just remembered it, she quickly woke up and said to him: "By the way, that old Taoist priest from outside the city is here to see you."
"Yeah?"
"In the afternoon! I said you were sleepy, so I called him to the main room to wait for you, and poured honey and boiled water for him. I don't know if he has run away now!"
"That will delay the guests."
Song You quickly put on his clothes and shoes and walked out.
…
There are some good pieces of furniture in the main room, all left by Ye Xinrong's ancestors. They have good wood and good craftsmanship, and they are still strong to this day.
Wen Pingzi sat on the chair, but remained motionless, only looking down at the cup of honey on the tea table.
Although Wen Pingzi is good at magic, has good moral character, and is good at subjugating demons, he is actually not good at fighting. Most of the time, he relies on the Doubu gods he enshrines, and asks the gods to help from the lower world. Previously, he suffered some injuries due to dealing with the God of Paradise for a while.
I was injured, and I had other things to be busy with during the New Year, so I didn’t come to express my gratitude to Song You right away. Now that the New Year is over and my health is a little better, I hurriedly came.
When I came to visit, I heard that the immortal master was taking a nap, so I didn't dare to disturb him. I should have been waiting outside the house. Fortunately, Empress Sanhua kindly invited him into the house to wait. She also poured water for him and ordered it to be cooked.
The wait lasted all afternoon.
But who would have thought that this afternoon would be so magical.
First of all, the cup of honey and water could not be exhausted no matter how much I drank it. Instead of filling it up on my own after drinking it, there was no shortage at all.
Wen Pingzi also knew that there were similar magic tricks. Whether it was to bring wine from an empty cup or to dry it by lifting a bottle, it was nothing more than a secret transportation method. He had also seen other Taoists perform such tricks in Changjing, accompanied by some
The techniques and words were so impressive that many dignitaries with extraordinary vision would be fooled. However, from his point of view, today's events were completely different.
After that, if you drink too much water, you will inevitably want to go to the latrine.
Wen Pingzi had lunch here, and he could still find the latrine somewhere.
But the short road to the hut that was clearly visible seemed to have suddenly grown a thousand times longer. The scenery in the courtyards on both sides sometimes remained the same, and sometimes was stretched. He walked for at least an hour, and he only walked halfway from the main room to the hut.
Half of the journey was left, and suddenly it returned to normal, and we reached the end in just a few steps.
If he hadn't known the nature of the immortal master and the abilities of the Sanhua Empress, he would have even thought that they were deliberately teasing him and joking with him.
When I came back and walked into the courtyard, the Sanhua Empress on the stone floor was scrubbing the water stains left by the horses before they were dry. I glanced at them casually as I passed by and saw that the puddle of water stains suddenly turned into a deep blue, bottomless, and I probed my head. At first glance, he saw countless fish swimming inside, groups of corals, and giant sharks hunting for prey. It was a deep sea scene he had never seen before in his life.
Wen Pingzi almost stepped on it and fell in.
Stabilizing his body, he looked up again, and saw a house in front of him with soaring aura and infinite mystery. Wen Pingzi opened his eyes wide and was stunned for a moment, why he still couldn't figure it out——
This gentleman is not taking a lunch break, he is clearly practicing and enlightening the Tao. The rhythm of the Tao comes out through the body and naturally affects the world, which creates such mysterious and endless changes.
Wen Pingzi didn't dare to disturb him, but he didn't want to leave either. He quickly returned to the main room and sat quietly to wait.
If you want to understand something through this, there is no clue if there is no one to guide you. However, as a Taoist, one can understand the heaven and earth grasping the mysteries. Just sitting here, I feel that I have benefited a lot.
So I continued to drink water without daring to move rashly.
When the cup of honey was finished, he knew that the immortal master had woken up.
After waiting for a while, he heard footsteps coming from outside the house, and he quickly stood up. When Song You came to him, he quickly saluted.
"Fellow Taoist Song, Pindao came here this time to wish fellow Taoist the New Year and to say thank you." Wen Pingzi became more respectful when facing Song You this time, "Thanks to fellow Taoist Pindao, besides the God of Ultimate Bliss, I am worthy of the explanation given by the people of Yangzhou and the imperial master."
"Fellow Taoist is injured, why do you come here in person?"
"The injury is not serious, he is already healed."
"It's better to rest more."
"I just hope it doesn't disturb my Taoist friends' practice."
"Fellow Taoist, your words are serious..."
Song You invited him to sit down and chatted with him enthusiastically.
Not only did we talk about the God of Paradise, but we also talked about the affairs of the DPRK.
It not only talks about the scenery of Yangzhou, but also talks about the channels for publishing books.
I heard that many officials in Yangdu were curious about Song You and asked Wen Pingzi about it. Wen Pingzi didn't dare to make any judgments, so he had to ask Song You.
"I am just a wandering Taoist. When the weather gets warmer after spring, and the birds return and the flowers bloom, I will leave. Why bother here?"
"I see."
"What are your plans, fellow Taoist?"
"Pindao has been wandering for half his life, and it's time to settle down. Yangdu is prosperous and has a leisurely life. It is a good place to retire. Outside the city, fellow Taoists at Tianxingguan are warm and hospitable, and they have been urging Pindao to stay. Pindao has also chosen Tianxingguan. Two talented and clever disciples have passed on the mantle." Wen Pingzi said, "They will probably stay in Yangdu from now on."
"This is the blessing of the people of Yangdu."
Song You smiled and said to him sincerely.
After chatting for a long time, he was invited to have dinner and stay overnight before sending him out the next day.
Wen Pingzi thanked him endlessly, but also hesitated.
Walking to the door, I turned around frequently and struggled for a long time before speaking: "There is one more thing I want to ask my friend..."
"But it doesn't matter."
"I wonder if the Imperial Master is now..."
"died."
The Taoist's words were simply calm.
Wen Pingzi's eyes suddenly shrank. Even though he had already guessed, his heart was filled with turmoil, but he quickly handed over his hand and left.
