At noon the next day, other pilgrims also arrived one after another. Many of them just came to the monastery to visit and watch, and did not ask to stay here to practice hard work. They wandered around for a while, left offerings and then returned.
Of course, there is also a die-hard Nord boy who must learn how to roar from Gray Beard. His name is Dilo. He comes from Snowrun. He is a tall and cheerful man. There are sun marks on his face, on both sides of the bridge of his nose.
He is red and always likes to grin, showing his bright white front teeth, looking like a big silly rabbit.
The life in the monastery was harsh and boring, and Jonas had no conditions to learn magic here, so he simply allocated his focus to learning dragon language and practicing kung fu.
Dillo chatted well with Jonas, but had little contact with Lu Zhengkang. He didn't like serious guys like Troll Man. When Jonas got up early every day to exercise, Dillo would also follow him, but it was obvious that
The little manzi has no foundation, and apart from wielding his rusty iron sword, he has no other tricks.
"Jonah, you are so good, please teach me."
"Didi, I am still an apprentice myself, so how can I teach others? Go find the teacher, he will be happy to teach you."
"But, that gentleman of yours looks so scary..." Dilo muttered. He was clearly a sixteen-year-old young man, but he was still extremely shy in social aspects and did not have the cheerful personality of a Nord.
"Really? But I think sir looks very cool, oh! I know."
"Know what?"
"It must be because you have never seen my husband's figure before. Those muscles are the ultimate romance for men!"
"Wow! What do you mean, that gentleman of yours...wait, what's his name?"
"I don't know. He has never told me his name. We all call him Gourmet, Baishan, Baishi, whatever you want. Mr. has a good temper. No matter what you call him, he won't
mind."
"Baishan is a good name, but are you telling the truth that he is muscular?"
"Of course that's good. If you don't believe it, I'll take you to see him next time he takes a bath."
"Okay, okay, my mother always said that a Nord man should have muscles as hard as mountain rocks, but I am too thin. My father and two uncles said that I eat too little. They ate
I can eat two large steaks, half a pound of mashed potatoes, and six bottles of mead..."
"Is your family rich?"
"My family owns a farm, and a lot of the food we eat is grown by ourselves..."
The two of them always liked to chat together. Jonas and Dillo talked about their miserable childhood, which they never revealed even when they were with Lu Zhengkang. After all, some things are easier to say to peers.
Get comfort yourself.
"My mother is a very good woman, but my father is not a good man. He never goes home and beats my mother after drinking... That day, my mother said that my father was in the wrong team and was going to be purged. She took me and fled overnight.
Daggerfall... Later she sold me to an Imperial man, and the Imperial man sold me to an Argonian. I got it in Reach
I worked as a part-time worker in a winery for a few months. After escaping, I went to the border area of Yar. A kind-hearted fisherman couple adopted me, but two months later a necromancer came and killed them.
I was taken away by that old man...and finally the gentleman I met in Winterhold. He rescued me and gave me food, strength and knowledge."
Dillo grew up in a harmonious family, his parents were happily married, and he enjoyed a good life, but he never had a clear understanding of Jonas's past. He even had some crazy thoughts in his heart, thinking that his friend could get rid of his parents' nagging and reprimands early on.
A good thing, but it is just a rebellious prejudice after all. Just like countless distracting thoughts in young people's minds, they appear suddenly and disappear quickly. "Well, Baishan is a good person. Well, the person who sold you is not a good person."
,Oh, that fishing couple are also good people."
Jonas said with a straight face and pretended to be serious: "Didi, you are too young."
"ah?"
"There are no good guys and bad guys in the world, there are just friends and enemies, well, there are also future friends and enemies."
Dillo widened his eyes and let out a long exclamation, "It makes so much sense!"
"Hehe, if you don't talk about this, I will take you to see your husband take a bath."
The main building of the monastery is roughly tile-shaped, with a hall in the middle, a N-shaped shrine corridor in the south that connects the east and west, the living area is in the bend on the east side of the main hall, and there is a square meeting hall in the northwest.
In addition, there is a courtyard behind the main hall. The courtyard is facing a dangerous cliff. Standing on the edge of the cliff, you can look down at the rolling mountains and sea. If the weather is fine, you can directly see the snow-covered city from here.
And this is not the top of Hrothgar Peak. The real summit is above the invisible clouds. There is another path up the mountain in the southeast corner of the courtyard. It is blocked by strong winds all year round and no mortal is allowed to climb. Beside this path stands a meditation monument.
The top floor of the tower is ventilated on three sides and has short suspended steps extending out. Several masters often went there to sit quietly and comprehend the sky amidst the strong wind and the fear of falling.
The architectural patterns of the monastery are quite exquisite, but the way of life is very rough. There are only four beds made of stone. The four masters stayed awake and realized the way of roaring all the time, so the apprentices had a place to sleep. Their food was boiled water.
Boil dried meat and other rough foods and use them immediately. The taste is primitive and terrifying. The place for defecation is in the open air. Just find a place to do it. What about taking a bath? There is so much snow on the ground. Take off your clothes and rub the snow on your body. Rub it.
It's done when your whole body is red.
Since Lu Zhengkang's arrival, the food has improved tremendously, from being unpalatable to a common meal. Sometimes the trolls go out to get some supplies from the Pure Land, and that's a delicious meal.
The realm of the graybeards has transcended worldly desires. They can eat whatever they have, and they can eat whatever they don’t have. They can also eat the unpalatable things. There are delicious things, but they are not indulgent. They only need to eat until they are full and don’t have any unnecessary aftertaste.
Feel nostalgic and meditate as usual.
Lu Zhengkang was particularly touched by the atmosphere of the monastery.
After all, he is also a master in religion.
What is the essence of the way of roar? It is faith. Admiration for Jinai, using divinity to balance the body and soul of a person, so that one's spirit and faith fit together, so as to bear the powerful power of power words, so as not to let
Being "out of balance" yourself.
So this is a practice method similar to Pure Land Buddhism, which seeks transcendence from the outside.
Lu Zhengkang was born in Zen Buddhism, and he seeks inwardly and himself. In essence, he is also an atheist, but he is quite at odds with the way of roaring.
The reason why a Bodhisattva can reach that state is that he is a high-altitude god with infinite power within him, and he only needs to ask for himself. But the incarnation cannot do this, because the inner body is just an idea, a spark of thinking, a dream bubble, like mist.
electricity.
The graybeards prayed to Genet, but they did not ask God to give them strength. If they thought that the way of roaring was a skill given by God, they would be on the wrong track.
