Chapter 81: Drinking wine to wish the east wind at dusk
The mountain god's expression gradually darkened.
He seemed to feel even more uncomfortable, and seemed to feel a greater insult. The gentleness he had pretended before gradually faded away, and anger appeared on his face.
"Rumble..."
The mountain suddenly began to shake.
"snort!"
The sound changed and became as thick as a mountain. It seemed to be coming from in front of me, and it seemed to be coming from all directions.
This mountain god really has a bad temper.
I saw huge rocks falling from the top of the mountain in the distance. Amidst the rumbling, a shocking trace was plowed in the dense mountain forest. On the mountainside, there was soil flowing down the mountain, and the road was cut off. This kind of big mountain naturally breeds
The spirit is really not comparable to the mountain gods enshrined by the imperial court or the Heavenly Palace. It is the aura of this mountain itself, which has unparalleled power here.
You can imagine the scene of a mountain trembling with part of it under the clouds, part of it in the clouds, and part of it above the clouds.
I'm afraid it's nothing more than an earthquake.
And there are hundreds of miles of such mountains.
When the mountain god is angry, there will be a natural disaster.
The horse parked outside the pavilion immediately became frightened, and the calico cat was also awakened. It stuck its head out of the cloth pocket, its claws were blooming, and its nails were deeply dug into the fabric of the cloth pocket, so that it could barely stabilize itself.
With a shaking body and a frightened heart, he immediately jumped out and looked left and right, looking for Song You.
"Mountain God, take a break. This mountain belongs to you. What good will it do if you make it a mess and destroy all life? This mountain road has been ruined for so many years. It would be a pity to destroy it." The Taoist remained calm, "If you insist on giving Fulong another test,
The disciples of Guan can use a gentler approach."
As soon as he finished speaking, the mountain stopped trembling.
However, huge boulders kept rolling down from the top of the mountain. These boulders were already extremely huge, and when they were combined together, in the blink of an eye they became a giant that was hundreds of feet tall, comparable to a mountain.
"Rumble..."
"Then I'm going to test how talented this generation's descendants of Fulong Guan are."
The mountain god seemed to still be sitting in front of him drinking tea with him, and he seemed to be sitting on the huge stone man like the mountain. When he opened his mouth to speak, the voice seemed to come from all directions in the mountains:
"How do you cope?"
The mountain stone giant walked toward the pavilion step by step.
The ground shook and the mountains roared with every step.
Just the stones that fell from its body were probably as big as the pavilion, and its feet and fists were probably many times bigger than the pavilion.
Who can withstand this kick or punch?
But it was not in a hurry to smash the mountain pavilion, but walked slowly, as if waiting to see how the Taoist would deal with it.
The mountain god also stared directly at the Taoist.
But I saw that the Taoist was calm and replied to the mountain god: "The mountain god is the spirit of the mountain. This incarnation is as heavy as the mountain and has the power of ten thousand. It cannot be stopped by human beings. However, I was walking around the world a few days ago, and it happened to be the Waking of Insects.
, I have realized that there are very few monks who practice the four-season cycle method, and this ray of Jingzhe spiritual power is probably something that the Mountain God will find strange."
As he spoke, spiritual power emerged from his hands.
This spiritual power is white and blue, blue and purple, like a ray of thunder on a rainy night.
Then he raised his hand.
Since practicing, I have acquired the strongest spiritual power of Jingzhe, which I use to activate the thunder method.
All I saw was a bolt from the blue and thunder exploding.
"Boom!"
Even in broad daylight, this thunderbolt was so bright that people could not open their eyes. Although it had no real power, it was so powerful that it landed directly on the head of the giant.
What Song You said is true. This giant is as big as a mountain. How can it be stopped by human power?
It cannot be washed away by water and cannot be burned by fire.
But the mountain god is an elf in the mountain after all, and this giant is also his incarnation. Whether it’s a living creature or evil, it is most afraid of the power of heaven. Both the spiritual power of Jingzhe and the thunder of heaven can restrain them. When the two are combined, this thunder hits the giant.
There seemed to be no damage to the giant's body, but the giant disintegrated in an instant, smashing half of the mountain.
"Ahem!"
Even the mountain god in the pavilion couldn't help but cough.
Then he stretched out his hand and the boulder began to tremble again.
"Rumble..."
At this moment, a cat jumped into the pavilion in panic.
"Taoist priest, run!"
As soon as the calico cat finished speaking, she looked up and saw a stranger. She was stunned for a moment, subconsciously leaned closer to Song You, raised her head and stared at the mountain god without making a sound.
The pavilion suddenly became quiet.
The mountain also became quiet, and the huge rocks did not move. The mountain gods and Taoists all turned their attention to the cat.
"Taoist priest~~"
The calico cat felt a little uncomfortable.
The next moment, they saw two people raising glasses and drinking tea.
It's like nothing happened just now.
"?"
The calico cat couldn't help being stunned when he saw this.
I saw the mountain god put down his tea cup, his face turned pale: "The successor of Fulong Temple, he is well-deserved."
"Offended, offended."
"I have an old relationship with your master, so I took the exam here!"
"Do you really have some friendship with my master?" Song You also put down the tea cup, "Sorry, I only heard that you had sparred with my master before."
"We have fought and are on friendly terms with each other, so there is no conflict."
"That being the case, I got to know you in the same way today." Song You glanced at the cat next to him, "I'm not alone here, so I'll ask you to bring me a cup of tea."
"..."
The mountain god waved his hand, and there was another empty cup on the table. Water came from the air, mixed with tea powder, and was naturally filled.
"Miss Sanhua, please have tea."
Song You said to the calico cat next to him.
The calico cat's eyes were uncertain. Sometimes he looked at Song You, sometimes at the mountain god. He always felt that this person was not easy to mess with. After hesitating for a moment, he jumped onto the stone table.
He leaned close to the tea cup, stuck out his tongue and took a sip.
"tui~"
Bitter and astringent!
The calico cat squinted its eyes, shook its head and backed away.
The mountain god remained silent and simply turned his gaze away from her, only looking at Song You: "It seems that I underestimated you before."
"I'm just more talented."
"Still more modest?"
"Don't dare. It's just that mortals are mortals after all, and the same is true for those who practice Taoism. Even if they are favored by heaven and earth, no matter how talented they are, it will only take a hundred years." Song You shook his head, "Isn't that the master back then?
Where is the proud man of heaven? But now the mountain god is still sitting here drinking tea, but he has turned into a handful of loess."
“It’s getting harder and harder to seek immortality.”
"Yes, so those eternal beings like Your Majesty the Mountain God are truly remarkable existences. Compared to Your Majesty's evergreen trees, we are just a flash in the pan."
"How can there be anything eternal?"
"Your Excellency, you won't be able to live long, either?"
"Speaking of it, my consciousness was only born in the past thousand years or so. One day I got tired and fell asleep. Or maybe the gods in the heaven couldn't bear to see me anymore, so they came here."
"I thought mountain gods were comparable to mountains and rivers."
"I am a mountain, but I am not."
"..."
The atmosphere calmed down a bit unconsciously.
It is rare for Song You to meet such a remarkable being, and it is rare for a mountain god to meet someone who is qualified to talk to him. Moreover, Master Fulongguan is in front of him. Neither of them seems to care about their previous small discussion, so here they are.
They sat opposite each other in the pavilion, enjoying the breeze, and chatting about various things.
So we talked from this world to the way of heaven, from this dynasty to the previous dynasty, from the Patriarch whom the mountain god knew to the first Patriarch of Fulong Temple whom they had never met, from the Five Elements Spiritual Method to the Four Seasons.
From talking about the mountain gods to the increasingly prosperous Incense, Shinto, Heavenly Palace and Buddhist Kingdom, the whole process was a relaxed and casual conversation without any mundane matters. It would be hard for others to imagine that these two people had just caused a commotion.
This is what people who practice Taoism are like.
I didn't know where the mountain wind came from, blowing through the protruding pine branches. I don't know if it filled the pavilion or just passed through the pavilion. In short, it never stopped, and the sun set further and westward.
The mountain god raised his eyes and glanced at the horizon: "It's getting late."
"The sun hasn't set yet."
"You don't know. Go ahead a few miles and go to the mountain on the right. The mountain is full of ginger flowers. I came here to wait for you. I just want to remind you to see them." The mountain god paused and said, "The ginger flowers are still the same ones you used to have."
The first tree planted by the founder later grew into a mountain. When it blooms, the whole mountain is the same color. Today is the best for the past few days. If you walk faster now, you can still catch up."
"That's it!"
Song You had no intention of staying any longer, so he stood up quickly and said respectfully: "Then I have to say goodbye to you. Thank you for the tea, thank you for talking to me, and thank you for the reminder. As for the previous verbal offense, it's really
If not, please remove it and forget about it."
"It's been a pleasure talking to you, so there's no need to say more."
The mountain god shook his head and said to the Taoist: "After all, I was rude first."
"Even so, Your Excellency did not come to see me last night for fear of disturbing my wonderful encounter with the ghost brother. Today, you set up a pavilion here and personally brewed a bowl of good tea to invite me to rest and quench my thirst.
The goodwill in both of them cannot be faked, and if I say something offensive, it is actually a bit rude."
Song You said, looking down at the tea on the table, and said with a smile: "That's rude again. I just feel that you are an elf bred by heaven and earth. You are pure and pure. In this mountain, you have boundless power. In the heavenly palace
There are few gods who are more powerful than you. Logically speaking, you should not be restrained by anything, so why force yourself to learn the twists and turns of humans? Isn’t it good to just have heart-to-heart conversations like this?"
The mountain god frowned and said nothing.
Song You smiled and cupped his hand again: "In tens or hundreds of years, descendants of Fulongguan will pass by again. If you still want to test it, you should be more aggressive."
After saying that, he smiled and stepped out of the pavilion.
The mountain wind is stirring and the mountain fog is flowing.
The pines and cypresses on the mountain not far away seemed to be posing. When I looked back, I saw that the pavilion had disappeared silently, and the artistic welcoming pine that had just been destroyed in the anger of the mountain god was also gone.
The hillsides and roads had returned to their original state unconsciously, and everything seemed like a dream.
"Let's go."
Song You told the calico cat to go far away first.
"Taoist priest!"
"Um?"
"Who is that?"
"Mountain God."
"It's the mountain god..."
"Yes, but he is not an ordinary mountain god and road god. He is a god born naturally in this mountain. He is the spirit that comes alive in the mountains."
"Is it great or not?"
"It's amazing."
"What kind of water is that water?"
"What water?"
"Water in a bowl."
"It's tea."
"poisonous!"
"That's not true."
“It tastes so bad~”
"yes."
The two figures, one large and one small, also walked away, and the horse behind them followed them obediently. Just now, the mountains collapsed and the ground cracked. Although it was extremely frightened, it never ran away alone.
A few miles ahead, there are huge rocks blocking the road.
There happened to be another small road next to it.
Song You knew it as soon as he saw it, so he turned right and walked up the mountain along the inexplicable extra path.
Before going up the mountain, only half way, I saw ginger flowers all over the mountain from a distance.
Jiangpu flower is the Xinyi flower.
Also called spring flower, purple magnolia.
Mulan is also it.
Although it is called purple magnolia, it is pink.
The biggest characteristic of ginger flowers is that they are pink, especially pink, which is pinker than most pink flowers. When the flowers bloom, the leaves have not yet grown, and the branches are full of flowers. The whole tree has turned pink. At first glance, it looks like
It is a mixed color, so it is so pink that it is dreamy and unreal.
If there were flowers like this all over the mountain, and when the sun shined, the pink of each tree would have different shades, deep almost red, light almost white, all on this mountain, it would really be described only by the word dream.
But it happens to be a natural growth in the human world.
Song You stopped and looked up for a long time, then withdrew his gaze and continued walking up the mountain along the path, then entered the woods.
At this time, the flowers have reached the top of the head again.
Ginger flower is not a herb, not a shrub, but a tall tree. Although the forest is dense, people can't touch the flowers when walking among them. There are even no extra branches in the lower half of the tree. People can only walk through the bare trunks of the forest.
.But if you are willing to look up, you will see patches of pink reflected in the blue sky.
The mountains and plains are filled with pink that cannot be contained.
"Taoist priest, where is this?"
"have no idea."
"where are we going?"
"have no idea."
"Are you here today?"
"Maybe."
A path winds through forest meadows.
Song You walked casually, not going anywhere, just walking through the mountains, looking up at the flowers.
It is hard to imagine that this extremely beautiful spring scenery was just a plant planted by a master who passed by this place many years ago. Some things may seem ordinary, but when you think about it, it is really wonderful.
What’s even more amazing is that after thinking about this, when walking among them, I felt like I was meeting the ancestor from a hundred years ago.
Thank you to the mountain god.
Many thanks to the ancestor.
It's a pity that the colorful clouds are easy to scatter, the glass is fragile, and the good things in the world are not strong. This flower only lasts a few days a year. Every time you stay here for a moment, the mountain wind at dusk keeps peeling off its petals, and they float down. The mountain breeze is dry.
