School was over and the students filed out of the college. Ah Cheng and Ah Zhi said goodbye.
Azhi still had to go to the mountains to collect firewood, and his father left a message for him, telling him to go there quickly. After dark, wolves should appear.
There were children in the village playing kites. The sky was gloomy, with wisps of smoke from cooking in the distance. The clouds were blown by the strong wind from high in the sky and moved constantly, like a rustling river. Ah Cheng stood on a hillside covered with shrubs.
After looking at the scenery for a while, I went home.
His father had already started eating and had no intention of waiting for him.
Ah Cheng silently went to the stove to get food.
Three meals a day. One person at breakfast, a group at lunch, and two people at dinner.
Every day is the same, home, college, home, no rest, no vacation, until he graduates.
His father didn't speak, and he didn't say anything during the meal. Ah Cheng felt depressed and didn't eat much. After his father finished eating, he packed up the dishes and went to the river to wash them.
The porcelain bowl is in the water, and the waves on the surface are swaying leisurely, shaking all the dishes under the water into a blurry ball. Let the running water wash it away for now.
Ah Cheng found a deserted open space and started practicing boxing.
Master said that you should practice boxing and kicking first, and then weapons. Practicing boxing is also training the body. When the body is strong, then learning weapons can get twice the result with half the effort.
Ah Cheng is practicing the seventh-level Paramita Palm. The highest level he can learn in the academy is the seventh level. Once he has mastered the Paramita Palm, he can learn weapons. Ah Cheng plans to learn the Qimen Pestle Technique because
He felt it was silly to go out with a knife on his back.
There are ten postures of Paramita Palm in total, which are said to correspond to the "Ten Victorious Actions" of Bodhisattva. Acheng likes this saying, which can give him a lot of motivation.
Among the students of the same class, he had the deepest meditation skills, so he could not help but be complacent about Zen, and he felt filled with joy when he saw those martial arts with a Zen feel.
He was practicing hard here, and over there, a few monkeys took out the dishes from his house. The group of thieves ran towards the forest with a roar. That is to say, Ah Cheng was not far away, and then
Notice that the monkey is holding his own rice bowl in his hand.
"!Don't run!"
Ah Cheng hurriedly chased after him. When he entered the woods, the deep shadow enveloped the night, and he was almost half blind. After he raised his skills and gathered the acupuncture points around his eyes, he could see things as if they were daylight. Unfortunately, his skills were limited.
Shallow, it took a lot of time to achieve this step. The monkeys have disappeared, only their squeaking sounds are still faintly echoing.
Ah Cheng chased after the monkeys' crows, cursing these furry beasts, listening to the mournful chirping of birds in the forest, and the ups and downs of insects and snakes overwhelming the fallen leaves. This uninhabited land was actually so alive.
Ah Cheng has always been obedient and never went out into the wild after sunset, because Dad said that the day is the right path in the world, and the night should be reserved for other sentient beings.
This forest may not be big, but it is not small at all. It is connected to the hillside, and you can reach a large mountain range all the way up, where it is a truly uninhabited wilderness.
Ah Cheng was a little scared. The darkness of the deep forest gave him a terrifying atmosphere. He tightened his tight clothes, and only then did he realize that the hairs on his arms stood straight.
The epiphyllum between his brows flickered, and his father had sent a message. Ah Cheng was really frightened and didn't know how to explain to his father that he had lost something, so he ignored the message and just chased after him.
The roots of old trees are huge, and there are often parts that are exposed above the ground, and they are buried in a pile of rotting leaves. They are extremely hidden. Ah Cheng ran two or three steps, staggered under his feet, and almost fell to his death.
"These monkeys are running up the tree. I'm chasing them on the ground. How can I catch them? I still have to climb up the tree!"
When it comes to Qinggong, among all the people in the world, the Qinggong of the Xuannu sect is the best. The internal strength of the Vajra attribute is inherently stable, and there is no Qinggong that can be mastered. Ah Cheng has learned the Vajra Seat method of the upper seventh level, and is familiar with the eighth level of Qinggong.
Dadingjiao, mastered the nine-level trapping foot. As you can tell from the name, none of them are suitable for long-distance running. Fortunately, I laid the foundation in the academy and taught the plum blossom pile. Ah Cheng's basic skills of tossing and turning are still good.
of.
He immediately ran up the tree, picked a thick branch as a stepping board, and ran all the way.
At first, he was not used to the distribution of branches, but later on, his speed gradually increased. Ah Cheng became excited about running, listening to the whistling wind in his ears, and soon he caught up with the monkeys.
This time he found himself in a monkey's nest. This group of wild monkeys made their home in a forest clearing. Acheng was surprised to find that there were many wooden houses here, but they were all in disrepair and were covered with moss. They looked very dilapidated.
ugly.
Many monkeys were walking in and out of the house, carrying pots and pans with fresh fruits and vegetables in their hands. Some of them were even wearing human clothes, which looked strange and funny.
As soon as Ah Cheng arrived, he startled the monkeys and started shouting. The monkeys grabbed whatever was at hand and threw it at him. Stones, fruits, and porcelain bowls flew all over the sky. The strong wind howled, and Ah Cheng was so frightened that he scurried back towards the road with his head in his arms.
fleeing, but he
Jumping in the air, I was hit on the back by a hard object. I immediately panicked and lost my footing. My legs slipped on the branches. I did a split before and after, and my body fell. My crotch was hit hard on the tough branches of the old tree.
Up.
"Oooh ho!"
Ah Cheng's eyes were so painful that he felt like his organs were twitching. He curled up like a ball and fell under the tree.
The monkeys didn't chase them, they just scared off the uninvited guests. They were still at ease, playing and eating fruits when it was time.
After a while, Ah Cheng sat up, still trembling, with his left hand covering his crotch and his right hand groping around randomly. He was filled with hatred and vowed to repay the other person with his own treatment.
Scratching his palms in the dirt, he felt a rough, dull pain, which made Ah Cheng even more angry. Soon he grabbed a hard object, which seemed to be a stone, but the feel was very complicated.
Ah Cheng took the thing over and saw that it was a statue.
Although it is very rough, it should be the statue of Deer Yuan Bodhisattva.
Ah Cheng was immediately startled. Was this what he was hit by just now? He was startled, put the statue in front of him, then knelt down respectfully and kowtowed three times.
"Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva, this monkey is hitting me with you. This shows that I have a connection with Buddha. In this way, I will not care about them. It is also thanks to them for bringing you to me. If the dishes are lost, they are thrown away. I
Inviting you home is a great blessing."
Ah Cheng picked up the Bodhisattva statue and ran home happily. However, he only focused on going down the slope and did not know that he was going in the wrong direction.
After he wandered around in the forest for half an hour, he realized that he had lost his way and could not walk in one direction for more than three seconds. Suddenly he saw lights and shadows flickering between the trees. Now he took two quick steps and rushed out.
into the woods.
What caught his eye were not the villages and towns he expected to see.
It's a small lake.
Ah Cheng turned around and saw a small hill.
His home is over the mountain.
"I'm a fool!"
Ah Cheng was stunned, looking at the dark mountains in the night, shocked.
At this time, in the small lake behind him, boundless starlight suddenly appeared, like a large puff of fireflies flying out of the water.
Ah Cheng saw his own shadow flashing and looked back.
