Chapter 33 The Hermit and the Monk

The furnishings in the hut are clear at a glance, the most conspicuous is a low couch placed by the window.There is a small table on the couch, on which there is a lamp, a pot, a cup, a chess board, and an incense burner...

People who used to live here are afraid that they have gone out of their homes.

Although night vision is fine, Ai Yu is more used to lighting up lights.It wasn't until I walked to the bed that I realized that I grew up among ordinary people, and many habits were deeply ingrained.

Is the owner of this house the same?
Looking at the lamp in front of me again, it is an ordinary brass lamp with a hay wick, and the lamp oil inside has dried up for an unknown number of years.

Ai Yu looked around the room again.

There is a coir raincoat hanging on the wall, and an ax, pestle, and hoe are leaning against the corner, and there is a fish basket beside it.On the other side are cabinets, bookshelves and other furniture, only two or three rough terracotta urns are placed there.It seems that the owner was not in a hurry when he left, and cleaned up very carefully.

No matter how you look at this configuration, it doesn't look like a monk's residence.

But the phantom formation halfway up the mountain is quite clever.The tea, the peach, and the medicine are also full of aura.This thatched hut is also protected by formations, and the inside of the hut is spotlessly clean.

Could it be that a hermit picked up the monk's property?

What Ai Yu was referring to was not hermits like the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove and Tao Yuanming.They are literati. When literati are proud, they serve as officials, and when they are frustrated, they hide.Even if they are "hidden", their status is still "scholar".

Tao Yuanming, for example, became an official in his 20s, and after that, he has been in hiding from time to time, and he was still a petty official.The last time he became an official was 41 years old, and at this age he went to Pengze as a county magistrate for a period of time.

Not long after, Mr. Tao resigned again because he thought he was a petty official, rolled up his sleeves and wrote "Returning to the Garden"...

Ai Yu felt from the bottom of her heart that these celebrities were essentially official fans, not true hermits.Deeper in the mountains, they "spread a few words of fishermen and woodcutters, and sleep on a gourd stand".

"There are always some clues left..."

Ai Yu looked for possible places to hide things in accordance with the behavior and habits of ordinary people.

Sure enough, there was a small cloth bag stuffed in the beam of the hut.He reached out and took the cloth bag into his palm, and opened it to see that it was a scroll of bamboo slips.The bamboo slips were unfolded again, and a thin piece of jade was wrapped inside.

The bamboo slips were neatly transcribed with dense small letters, Ai Yu read the whole text, it felt like a last words.

The author did not explain who he is, but only described the process of entering this place by mistake and the feelings after settling down.At the end, he also expressed regret, saying that the jade piece "is so brilliant that it should belong to the fairy family, but Yu Qiongji has nothing to gain in his life."

This person went up the mountain at about 40 years old and left the mountain at [-] years old.This longevity in ancient times should be due to those spirit fruits and spirit tea.He knew that time was running out, and he didn't want to pollute the pure land himself.The peach blossom wine was left by him, and I hope that future generations will treat this place well.

Ai Yu put down the bamboo slips, and there seemed to be a figure from the back covered with grass in front of her eyes.

Most of these people admire Lao-Zhuang's ideas, but they don't know how to practice in reality.They think that a person is a fairy in the mountains, and that finding the freedom of the soul is detachment. This is a mistake.

Picking weeds to eat, and pine needles to drink water, this kind of life is only suitable for those who are originally pure-hearted and ascetic.If there is something wrong with stomach cold, it is impossible to bear it.

Do immortals have no desires?
What a joke, Kamito still wants to dominate the world...

Ai Yu shook her head mockingly, tried to decipher that piece of jade with her spiritual sense, and unexpectedly got another piece of classical Chinese.

This piece of jade is more appropriately called a jade slip, it is a guest book.

Although it is written by God, it is in vertical official script, and there are still no punctuation marks.Judging from the choice of words and sentences, the content of the jade slips is much older than that of the bamboo slips.The four characters are layered on top of each other, and the more they look, the more they look like Chinese Fu.

Ai Yu had no choice but to do another ancient text reading comprehension, and roughly figured out the origin of this hut.

Everything on Xishan or Xianshan was ordered by the monk who left behind the jade slips. This person named himself Hongyeshan.Seeing this name, Ai Yu's first reaction was that he probably lived in Xiangshan for a while.

According to Hongyeshanren's description, his cultivation base is about the middle and late stage of foundation establishment.Ai Yu was quite happy when she saw this, but was immediately stunned by a message.

There has never been a Golden Core cultivator on Earth, at least the Hongye Mountain people have never heard of it.The monks who wanted to form alchemy all ended in failure without exception, and those who were unlucky would even have their dantian completely destroyed.

The reason is attributed to the bottleneck, and some people say it is limited by the way of heaven.

Ai Yu put down the jade slip depressedly. She remembered that there had never been a so-called bottleneck in the cultivation of the Protoss, and it was probably related to the incompleteness of the rules.

All the planets in the universe were reborn after the collapse of the Protoss Continent, or were simply born in that accident.The number of law fragments they get is uneven, which also determines the upper limit of each planet's cultivation.

As for the earth, the cultivation conditions can only be described as barren.

Taoism often talks about the Three Thousand Ways, referring to the Three Thousand Laws.In fact, there are more than ten million laws in the world?In a world built with only three thousand rules, it's no wonder that you can only practice to build a foundation.And the total amount of spiritual energy in a world is also closely related to the law, this problem is simply unsolvable.

If you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will be connected. The people of Hongye Mountain said that when the monks who established the foundation were approaching their birthdays, most of them would go to "seek the fate of immortals", so he also wanted to go and see.

There are four common places to go, the cloud top in the extreme west, the dark abyss in the east sea, the cold palace in the north, and the mirage valley in the south.As for the result, no one knows for sure, because those monks never returned without exception.

Ai Yu guessed that the result was nothing more than leaving the earth, or finding a place to die.

If they really left, then the so-called "Xianyuan" is likely to be a teleportation array, and at least it must be a teleportation array across planets.

This is not a formation that anyone can arrange.

First of all, the laws involved in the short-distance teleportation array are mainly space, while the ultra-long-distance teleportation array also needs to take into account the law of time.

Secondly, when entering and exiting different planets, one must also consider how to shield these planets' own law systems, which is the so-called will of the world.

Finally, according to Hongye, the monks who took the teleportation array were only in the foundation building stage.You have to consider decompressing them, otherwise the bodies of these people will explode into mud during the transmission process.

These are very real problems. There are not even monks above Jindan on the earth, how can it be possible to build an interstellar teleportation array?Not to mention going to other planets with more aura, even the nearest moon may not be possible.

If the teleportation array exists, it can only be sponsored by the "receiving unit".If this is the case, Ai Yu can't help but want to make conspiracy theories.

Hello Alien, why are you so generous?
With a heavy heart, Ai Yu put the jade and bamboo slips back to their original places. This night, many doubts were solved, but more were added.After thinking about it before leaving, he left a mark of spiritual consciousness in the room with his backhand.

For those flowers and plants in the red leaves, she just picked them, and she didn't feel any psychological burden at all.The Baitan peach blossom wine of the hermit old man would be gone if he took it away, so he had to keep something in exchange.

Maybe someone will come here in the future.At that time, when the other party pushes the door and enters, they will be able to obtain the complete cultivation method from the imprint of divine consciousness.

This is not only the money for the drink, but also the whole life of the old gentleman who turned a corner.
