Fuji Avenue

Chapter 7 The man has gold under his knees

Saying goodbye to the big man, Buer naturally had some expectations in his heart.

But because they didn't know each other well, they didn't dare to hold out too much hope.

There is still half a day left in the bet with Gu Naichun, and he still wants to make one last effort.

It's a pity that even though he tried his best, he couldn't clean up the forest road of Zhangzuo Peak before the appointed time, so he had to go back to his residence.Looking back on the two days of hard work, although he got nothing in the end, he tried his best, which is an explanation to himself.

Lying on the thin bed, my heart felt a little heavy.

Gu Naichun's way is dead, and the smoked bamboo brushes he bought with a lot of spirit stones before are nothing but a bamboo basket.

Thinking of this, his chest felt oppressed.

It's not that I feel sorry for the spirit stone, but I think of the situation when I spoke to Wan'er.

After thinking for a long time, he suddenly calmed down again.The reason why he felt sad was that Wan'er was still in his heart.If he really treated Wan'er as an ordinary friend as he thought before, and borrowed money from a friend, and would have to pay it back sooner or later, why bother?

……

In the next few months, although Wei Buer was in a hurry, when he went out, he did not slack off in the work that should be done, and there was not a single yard that should be cleaned.

The big man never appeared again.

Seeing her 20th birthday approaching, the anxiety inside Bu Er Xin was like weeds after the rain, growing uncontrollably and crazily.

One day when I was sweeping the yard, I broke a broom.

Later, Fuji gradually no longer had hope for the big man.Gradually calmed down and began to think of other ways.

He once wanted to ask Jia Haizi for help, but he quickly extinguished this idea.

Tried many avenues, but all failed.In the end, I still put my hope on the basic exercise "Longevity Kungfu" that I exchanged from Zongli.

Holding the exercise book every day, I immersed myself in studying hard, trying to understand something from it, but of course I got nothing.

He wanted to invite the monks in the pope, but none of them had time to talk to him.

He wanted to ask Wan'er for advice, but felt that the relationship between the two of them was exhausted, and the other party was obviously avoiding him, so there was no reason to bother her.

The days of frantically working hard in helplessness ran forward like wild horses, and there was not much time left for him.

That night, Buer suffered from insomnia as usual, lying on the bed tossing and turning, finally couldn't help lighting a candle, opened "Longevity Technique", and read it word by word:

"A long road with triumphant songs, how long have I been in my life. The fate of the world has entered the Daze, and I have forgotten the skills of the Taoist family..."

When I read this, I said to myself: "The first sentence has a long character, the second sentence has a life, the third sentence has a big character, and the fourth sentence has a Tao. When connected together, it is the Dao of Longevity. Could the key to the law be here?"

Just thinking about it, someone laughed and said: "If all the exercises in the world are so simple, you can comprehend them just by breaking down the words, and I don't have to study hard."

The sound sounded very strange, and it was in the middle of the night, so Buer was startled, and quickly turned his head to look around, but he couldn't see anyone.

Immediately afterwards, the man said: "You are a handyman who sweeps the courtyard, dreaming of dreaming about longevity all day long, it's ridiculous, so ridiculous."

"Who are you?" Fuji asked quickly.

The man said: "Who am I, don't worry about it. I just heard from Monk Huang that there is a stupid boy with poor aptitude who wants to practice Taoism, so he came here specially to have a look."

Wei Buer quickly knelt down on the ground: "So it's you who made me wait so hard!"

Just as his knees were about to touch the ground, he felt an upward buoyancy out of thin air, lifting him up.

He only heard the man sneer and said: "A man has gold under his knees, and his bones are gathered on his knees. You always kneel and kneel, and even your bones are going to be worn out."

After hearing this, Buer's heart shook suddenly, and he was speechless for a long time.

After a while, he replied: "The fairy master's words awakened the dreamer, so he must be taught."

The man said: "Why don't you argue a few words?"

"Wrong is wrong," Bu Er said: "In the past three years, in order to practice Taoism, I have knelt down countless times, and I have lost all my bones."

The man smiled and said, "Even if you are not stupid enough, there is still room for salvation."

Speaking of this, his tone changed: "I heard from Monk Huang that you are extremely determined in seeking the Tao. I can help you open the door to the inner sea, but I don't know if you can endure the hardship."

Bu Er said: "Whether it's going up the mountain of swords or going down into the sea of ​​fire, I'm not afraid of any difficulties and obstacles."

The man sneered: "You have to remember what you said today."

As he spoke, he was silent for a while, and said again: "For half a month from today, every night at midnight, go to the mountain behind Shenlian Peak, find an old pine tree ten feet high, climb to the top branch, hang it upside down An hour."

It was a strange request, but Fuji agreed without hesitation.

After the man finished his last sentence, he stopped answering and wanted to escape.

Bu Er calculated the time, and it was less than half an hour before midnight, so he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and rushed all the way to Shenlian Peak.

For the next half month, according to the request of the man, I hung upside down on the top of the old pine tree every day, every time I was exhausted and almost passed out.

Gritting his teeth for half a month, the man came to Buer at night and told him to carry a hundred catties of boulder on his back every day and run around Baolian Peak, which still lasted for half a month.

After waiting for half a month to pass, he made even more strange requests.

For example, at Yin time every day, I went to the Yunyin Mountains to cut five trees; then I found a way to use the felled tree trunks to build a wooden house.After it was built, he was asked to tear down the wooden house.Take it apart, and put it back on again.

Such repeated tossing, cleaning the yard and doing handyman's work during the day is really exhausting the body. Thanks to Fuji's stronger physique than ordinary people since childhood, he can barely survive.

It seems that five months have passed, and the deadline for completely missing the road is getting closer.

Bu Er was really anxious, but he never mentioned the matter again, and just followed what the man said meticulously.

On this day, the man came to look for Buer at night again, but he still didn't show up, so he was asked to kneel all the way to the depths of Yunyin Mountains, and move the built wooden houses to Shenlian Peak.

After hearing this, Bu Er agreed, and went straight to the door.

"Wait!" But the man stopped him and asked, "Let me see if the things I told you to do can open the door to the inner sea for you."

Bu Er was overjoyed in his heart, only said that he was looking forward to this day at last, so he hurriedly stopped: "Master Immortal, do you want to hear the truth, or lies?"

The man said: "You don't have to worry, just tell the truth."

Bu Erdao: "If I'm telling the truth, the things the immortal master asked me to do are not fundamentally different from my usual housekeeping and chores, and naturally they can't help me get through the gate of the Inner Sea."

"So you already knew I was teasing you?"

Buer remained silent.

The man was silent for a while, then asked again: "Do you remember what I said when I first met you?"

"The immortal master said that a man has gold under his knees."

The man nodded, "Your memory is not bad."

As he said that, he sneered: "You clearly know that I have been teasing and teasing you for the past few months, but you deliberately please me in order to practice Taoism, and you still do what you want. What is the difference between this and bowing your knees?"

"I thought you still have the understanding of a good man, but you still have the root of being a handyman and slave. I don't think you need to force your dream."

After all, he seemed to turn around and leave.

"Wait a minute, Master Immortal!" Buer hurriedly called him to a stop:
"May I say a few words."

The man just snorted.

Bu Er said: "The immortal master said that a man has gold under his knees. I naturally keep it in my heart, and I understand that in the future, I must never bow my knees easily and bow my head."

"But that doesn't mean you can never bow your head, it's a matter of discretion."

After hearing this, the man suddenly found it interesting: "You tell me when you can't bow your head and when you can bow your head."

Bu Erdao: "Just like the situation I have faced in the Yunyin Sect for the past three years, the masters of this sect clearly cannot accept me as an apprentice no matter what. So, of course, you can't bow your head."

"For another example, a few months ago, I made a bet with Gu Xianshi of the Compliance Academy. He clearly only wanted to humiliate me, and he had no intention of accepting apprentices at all. You can't bow your head in such a situation."

The man nodded slightly and said with a smile: "It's interesting, you can continue."

Seeing that he was quite agreeable, he became more determined in his heart, and then said: "As for the situation where you can bow your head, at this moment, although you are teasing me, immortal master, you have the idea of ​​accepting me as an apprentice in your heart, so I am No matter how much you suffer, no matter how much you are wronged, you are willing."

The man couldn't help laughing: "How do you know, I'm not just like Gu Naichun, just to tease you."

Bu Er said: "Where is a fairy master who would spend so much energy just to tease an ordinary handyman? Just like Gu Xianshi, after he made a bet with me, he must have forgotten about it long ago. It is even more impossible to find me again."

"Therefore, if I think about it, you have given me so many problems, most of which are to test whether I am sincere and have the perseverance to practice Taoism."

After hearing this, the man laughed loudly and said hello three times: "If you are wise and stupid, you can bend and stretch. I don't think you are stupid at all!"
