how a stallion is made

The boat sailed in the night rain, pattering, and the withered and yellow land of Qiandeng Land finally returned to life.However, Tantai Shuhe, who was already far away by boat, naturally had no chance to witness this incident with his own eyes, so he fell asleep in Dalin Bay outside Donglin City.

After the fresh rain in the empty mountain, the weather is late in autumn.

It was extremely fun, so Tantai Shuhe changed into sackcloth and disguised himself a little, then pulled Lan Ruo out of the boat, there was a constant flow of traffic on the shore, and the sound of hawking was endless.

Tantai Shuhe was about to walk towards the big port in the south, but he bumped into an old nun just because he didn't want to rub his head and shoulders.The old nun in gray clothes and straw sandals had two frightening tumors where his eyes should have been. It looked like he was a beauty even when he didn't have tumors.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, look at me, a blind old woman, you always do your best, my lord has a lot, don't worry about me being punished."

Cucumbers and green vegetables rolled all over the ground, and the old nun stretched out her hands tremblingly to fumble on the muddy ground, her hands were chapped and blackened, and they were unbearably clumsy.

Can Tantai Shuhe look at this state helplessly?Of course it can't.Even if it's not his fault, how can he stand by indifferently?Lan Ruo already knew eight parts of his temperament, so she sighed and squatted down to help the old nun gather things.

After collecting all the things, Tantai Shuhe interrupted the old nun's unstoppable auspicious words while supporting the bamboo basket, and asked, "Grandma, are you a monk or nun of this Gushan Temple?"

"Where, how dare you take it, I'm just a little bratty brat."

"Then do you know where the plum blossoms in Dalin grow the best?"

"Hey, you are asking the right person. I am familiar with the one in Xilin! Let me tell you, go up the mountain from here, you will find a [-]-level bluestone slab, and then turn right, there is a tree with a crooked neck. Touch the tree and count three times, stop and go up...turn right...turn left...turn right again...ah...is it right or left?"

Lan Ruo shrugged her shoulders and raised her eyebrows to look at Tantai Shuhe, the meaning couldn't be more clear, if you ask the way, you should ask someone who understands it, what are you doing with this blind old woman!

Tantai Shuhe stroked his forehead: "Grandma, grandma, we will carry the basket for you, you take the two of us up, do you think so?"

"Turn left...Turn right...ah? Wake up, wake up." The old nun seemed worried, and she still refused to let go of the basket, so Tantai Shuhe had to let her, half dragged half back, and set off on the road.

After bumping along the way, they finally knew the way and sent the old nun to the kitchen of Gushan Temple, and then the two headed towards Xilin.

The voices of people at the foot of the mountain can still be faintly heard, but it doesn't destroy the feeling of solitude in the empty valley.The west side of the lonely mountain where Xilin is located has a strange terrain, the high and convex peaks are sharp and sharp like knives and axes.Therefore, you can only see the scenery of the west slope when you reach the top.

"It's not the season for plum blossoms now, so I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I just wanted to take a look, and I'll take you to find something to eat later—" Before Tantai Shuhe could finish his sentence, Lan Ruo's face showed a smile. With a surprised expression, bursts of sweet fragrance came from behind.

Tantai Shuhe turned his head immediately.What came into view was Li Hua, who was a tree and a tree bullying Frost and Snow. It was so white, so pure, so breathtaking that it made people unable to take their eyes off for a long time.

Tantai Shuhe was suddenly at a loss for words: "I... I... Lan Ruo, did the plum blossoms bloom at this time?"

"No." Lan Ruo drew out her ink eyebrows, and stood in front of her calmly.

"something wrong?"

"Ah Bai, the death energy in your body...has materialized."

"What?" Tantai Shuhe didn't care about Lan Ruo's words about fate, but followed his gaze and looked up. There was a pavilion hidden by Li Hua, with flying horns like wings, and he saw Daya in simplicity.

Lan Ruo suddenly laughed inexplicably, and said, "Let's go."

"What did you see?" Tantai Shuohe asked.

"Don't use your eyes, use your nose." Lan Ruo lowered her eyebrows and walked towards the pavilion without hesitation.

"What!" The second monk, Tantai Hehezhang, couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Lan Ruo bought in this gourd, so he had to chase after him.

A half couplet is hung on a vermilion lacquer pillar facing the gravel path from the pavilion, and it is written in very regular script——name, Li, and road, busy and restful.

When Tantai Shuhe saw this posture, he felt bad!

Donglin Chongwen, known all over the world, the old and the weak, women and children here are extraordinary people, a few words can force the scholars elsewhere to have no power to fight back.

At this time, I looked up and saw a gray-robed nun sitting cross-legged in front of the tea table. The small celadon teapot in her hand was pouring light tea into the small cups one by one.

The nun didn't even raise her eyelids, she just watched the tea by herself, and said indifferently: "My lord, please take a seat."

Tantai Shuhe stepped forward bravely, cupped his hands and said, "I don't know what the Master can do?"

The nun remained calm, and said casually: "It's not too late for poor nuns."

Tantai Shuhe was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that this was a mistake, and immediately retorted: "This king is too regretful."

"If it's not too late." The nun seemed to be smiling slightly.

Tantai Shuhe looked up at the sky: "There is no time for regret."

The nun pushed the teacup and said: "My lord, don't be restrained, please use tea."

"This... is this a match?" Tantai Shuohe was hesitating, and Lan Ruo, who was beside him, had already sat down vigorously, and picked up the tea cup and drank like a cow.

"No." The nun pointed to another futon, and seeing this, Tantai Shuhe sat down with a smile.

"May I ask if the Venerable Master is the elder of 'Nan Chen Bei Chi'?" Lan Ruo got up and asked seriously after drinking heavily.

"It's the poor nun."

Tantai Shuhe was startled immediately, this "Bei Chi" was already an old man decades ago, and he has not been seen in the rivers and lakes for many years.How did it appear here?

"When I was young, I heard that 'Linglong Jade' is rare in the world. Could it be—" Lan Ruo pointed to the sandalwood octagonal carved snack box on the case.

He nodded and said: "It's just a random snack made with Xintouxiangmi, Hejia Dangui, and Xihua Gefen."

Tantai Shuhe is helpless, this person is also humble and disagreeable.These three things are so simple!It takes a lot of effort just for the whole family Dangui.In the bright and clean moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the land of joy for the whole family, only the osmanthus trees that are full of trees can be used when they are three-thirds in bloom. People need to pick them one by one. If the hands are heavy, the flowers will be hurt. Each flower has been washed lightly and heavily, and it has to be dried in the shade in a hurry.Not to mention the trouble, but also very tiring.

Ji Wuchi raised his hand and lifted the cover, and greeted the two of them: "I haven't done it for many years, and I don't know how the craftsmanship is, you two should try it."

"Okay." Lan Ruo stretched out her hand and took a piece. The pastry was translucent and compelling, with osmanthus interspersed in it, and the orange-red color was lovely.Tantai Shuhe did not act out of caution, and Lan Ruo had his own reasons for doing so.

"How does it feel?" Ji Weichi asked with a smile.

"Smooth and refreshing, sweet and sweet, with a tangy aroma. Delicious!" Lan Ruo exclaimed exaggeratedly.

Seeing this, Tantai Shuhe withdrew from the conversation, and silently looked at this gatha from the sidelines before it was too late.

Suddenly, he found that this nun seemed familiar!

"Senior Ji, I don't know the old man who led the way for the two of us just now..."

The verse was not too late and did not fight back, and directly admitted: "It is the poor nun."

Tantai Shuhe frowned: "Why did the Master lead me here?"

"Of course there are people asking for it."

"who?"

"The common people in the world."

Tantai Shuhe was speechless for a moment, so he could only turn his face away and look at Lan Ruo.Lan Ruo's mouth was full of crystal-like pastries, and it was hard to talk, so she blinked her eyes, which was fine.

"This king—I don't believe a single word of senior's words."

"Believe it or not, the prince is already here." Ji Weichi smiled.

"so what?"

"I don't know if the prince has heard of Gushan Liulizhan?"

At this time, Lan Ruo swallowed everything in her mouth, and immediately cut off the conversation: "Dare to ask senior, since you know that the Eight Worthy Kings are here, you are sure to die, but where is the way to solve it? Think senior can The system can be solved.”

"Don't say it." Ji Wuchi smiled again, but in this smile, there was indeed infinite compassion.

"This king has all kinds of methods to make people speak."

"My lord, the poor nun is already a person whose body and soul will disappear."

Hearing this, Lan Ruo dropped the pastry in her hand, and said in shock, "No! Glass cup!"

Tantai Shuhe would understand after a little thought, but it's a pity that it was too late after the fact.

There is a thousand-year-old fairy artifact hidden in the Gushan Temple, which is said to have the effect of "life and death, flesh and bones", and it caused turmoil in the world overnight.But in the end, this fairy artifact proved to have huge problems. The Liulizhan could not continue its life, and could only exchange it for life. Ordinary people change their lives for ten years, and people in the immortal way make up for it with cultivation.

But this thing can save people or kill people.

Before it was too late, he held the teapot with his hand, tilted to add tea to Lan Ruo, and said: "My lord, your fate is fixed, so don't bother yourself, and enjoy this cup of Jiangshan Snow with peace of mind."

Lan Ruo couldn't sit still: "You reassure him? Why do you reassure Abai! Let me tell you, he only has ten years to live now!"

Tantai Shuhe raised his head, and pressed Lan Ruo with a solemn expression.It's not too late, they are monks a few generations earlier, in terms of cultivation, neither of them are rivals.

"Your Highness, you know—Ruan Sanli, Ruan Sanli, Blast Wind and Strong Grass." He looked at Tantai Shuhe self-consciously.

"Glass cups in the lonely mountains, ruin the wind on the grass."

"Ruan Sanli...it's been many years ago..." Ji Weichi spoke to the fork of the boundless plum blossom tree, Tantai Shuhe listened with a frown, but at the end he couldn't help but sigh.

Ruan's ancestral precepts: Farm and study heirlooms, embrace the mountains and die in the wild, and never become an official!

In Ruan Fang's great-great-grandson generation, there are only a pair of brothers, Ruan Sanli and Ruan Shifang, who lived alone in a thatched hut on Qixia Ridge since they were young.However, although the two are siblings from the same mother, their temperaments are quite different.The elder brother Ruan Sanli cares about the common people, and he sometimes hears about helping people in distress; the younger brother Ruan Shifang is arrogant and unruly by nature, and often makes things difficult for others.

The name of Sanli Ye Lao's Blast Wind Grass was commented by the Patriarch of the Jinling Qin family with nine surnames among the immortals at that time. A gentleman's virtue is like the wind, and a villain's virtue is like grass. The wind can catch it.

Ruan Shifang is rebellious by nature, he will do whatever his brother does.

Brother wants to save the world, but I want to destroy it!

Really a great devil in the world.I don't know how the Ruan family raised such an uncharacteristic bastard. If Ruan Sanli wasn't around, Qixia would be like a flying dog, and it would be a noisy place.

It would be fine if it had always been like this, but one year, the Xitang Gorge outside Chuzhou City burst due to unexpected events, and hundreds of thousands of people with a radius of hundreds of miles in Xitang Town were about to suffer.And Ruan Sanli went to Jizhou for some business, but he was really helpless if he wasn't here.

Who knew that Ruan Shifang, who never cared about other people's life and death, managed to hold on until the time when the Gu family in Linchuan and the Qin family in Jinling arrived to help him.It's against the sky, it's like the sun is coming out from the west.After this incident, the impression of Ruan Shifang has been greatly changed whether it is a person in the immortal way or an ordinary person.

However——a move against the sky will eventually bear the consequences.Ruan Shifang's vitality was severely injured because of this incident, his cultivation was regressed, and he could not survive.However, because he owed his brother Ruan Sanli a great favor, the Patriarch of the Qin family used the Qin family's fairy grass and sacrificed his cultivation to extend his life for three months.When Ruan Sanli hurried back, he saw his younger brother lying on the couch, so weak and pitiful, he was completely different from the usual devil king.

In order to save his younger brother, Ruan Sanli flew to Qishan overnight holding Ruan Shifang's imperial possessions, in order to find the Huang's family who is good at medicine among the nine surnames in the Immortals.At that time, the Huang family was still a harmonious and prosperous family in the spring and autumn period, and it had not yet encountered the tragedy of the evil master of Wuling who slaughtered his family in anger.

Out of respect for Ruan Sanli and the prestige of the Ruan family, the Huang family sent Huang Wujiao, the most skilled medical practitioner at that time, to treat Ruan Shifang.Even so, Ruan Shifang's lifespan disappeared little by little, and it was his destiny.

Everything in the world pays attention to a just right, and the fire-burning head Tutuo in the Gushan Temple found a glazed cup in the tree hole of the oldest thousand-year-old tree in Li Hualin a few days later.It turned out that it was sunny after the rain, and the ancient tree was struck by lightning, and the fairy artifact hidden inside was exposed under the collapse.

Ruan Sanli heard this, and rushed to Donglin desperately, hoping to borrow the glass lamp.

It's a pity that the glass cup was stolen by Na Toutuo long ago, and his whereabouts are unknown.

A few months later, the inexplicable original glass cup was returned, and was discovered by the monk in charge of cleaning and handed over to the presiding abbot.

It is said that while returning the glazed cup, a spiritual note was also attached.There is no handwriting on the spiritual notebook, and only people designated by the owner who wrote the handwriting can see it. This method of using spiritual power has been lost for nearly a hundred years.

The abbot looked at the letter paper, but there was no mountain or dew on the surface, so he set fire to it.He just ordered the glazed lamp to be permanently sealed in the secret room of Gushan Temple, and claimed that it was an evil object that would release the demons of Tianqueyuan.

Ruan Sanli heard the news and decided to take a look no matter what.

Thus, there was Ruan Sanli's wise robbery of the Gushan Liulizhan.

Ji Weiwei, who became a monk in Gushan Temple when he was young, forged an indissoluble bond with Ruan Sanli during this process. It is too shallow to say that it is love, and it is too deep to say that it is friendship.

If Ruan Sanli stole the glazed cup, he would be making an enemy of the entire rivers and lakes and the world. Everyone knows what the abyss of Tianque means, and the ancient demons are no joke.No matter how good Ruan Sanli's reputation was before, it was all in vain when it came to issues of principle.

The nine surnames of Xianzhong and the arrogant Gu family of Linchuan at that time jointly decided to rob and kill Ruan Sanli in Xijian of Chuzhou. At that time, Ruan Sanli brought the glass cup.

Therefore, Ruan Sanli exchanged his life for his life and extended Ruan Shifang's life for about 80 years.

In the end, the strength of one person lost to the group's attack, and he died in Huangquan.

The nine surnames in Xianzhong and others all kept this secret, probably because they bullied others and some won disgrace.

Tantai Shuhe sighed, and said: "Senior Ji, it is not wrong for me to ask myself, why do you want to harm me like this?"

Ji Wuchi smiled: "Your fate is tied to the common people, lord, if you really care about the world, then listen to the poor nun's words - killing to stop killing is the worst policy, there is no other choice, and one life can solve it."

After speaking, plum blossoms swept in like a tide, with thin white petals circling and dancing among the pavilion pillars, carrying a delicate fragrance of dew.

The two couldn't regain their senses for a long time, until the sound of the glass cup being smashed to the ground reached their ears, and Lan Ruo closed her eyes and said to the sky: "Sometimes in life, there must be something, and there is always time in life, don't force it."

"The remnant lamp has been destroyed, there is no more colored glaze in the world." Tantai Shuhe also said.

In front of my eyes are plum blossoms like flying snow all over the sky. This is the beauty that Ji has passed on with his life.

The words on the letter back then were rumored to have been revealed by the abbot to the extremely enlightened gatha, and I don’t know what the words were. Looking at it now—could it be the correct usage of the glazed cup?

If this is not the case, then how did it not be too late to restore the old Li Hualin to life with only the broken glazed lamp?

Tantai Shuhe didn't say anything, neither did Lan Ruo.

When there was a snow shop on the ground, the wind stopped and the trees were quiet, Tantai Shuhe looked at the sun and then said: "Do you still want to eat?"

Lan Ruo looked at Tantai and was at a loss for a moment, then immediately shouted: "Eat, eat, eat!"

"That's right, feudal superstition is bad! Haha."

"Maybe seven percent of what she said is true."

"so what?"

"...That's right, you are not in a hurry, why should I be in a hurry?"

"Lan Ruo, this king has never believed in destiny."

"I control my own life!"
