All your life is gentle

"Brother, brother! Get up! Get up!"

The scenery in front of me is magnificent and magnificent, which I have never seen in my life.After the initial shock, Zi Zhou and Zi Gui were extremely excited, they grabbed Zi Shi and shook them violently.

"Take it lightly..." Zi Shi held his head and struggled to get up.Suddenly he frowned, clutched his chest, said "Ouch", and lay down again.

"Brother! What's wrong with you?" The two children were suddenly extremely nervous.

"The two little heroes are very good at work... Shaking made my internal injury recur...cough, cough! The internal organs are displaced, and the blood is flowing back..." I couldn't go on acting, "haha" laughed and got up.

"Brother!" Zi Gui was the quickest to react, and followed immediately with his fists and embroidered legs, "How dare you lie to us, I beat you so that your five viscera are shifted and your blood flows backwards... Hmph, it's not right for you to be old..."

While fleeing, Zi Shi did not forget to correct his mistakes: "Sister, that's not how to use "disrespecting the old"—"

Changsheng was busy surveying the terrain and species, when he heard the noise, he came over and saw two children, one on the left and one on the right, surrounding their eldest brother, all three of them were waddling and laughing.

What a pure joy, floating in the valley, it is impossible not to be infected by them.Putting aside the deep and complicated emotions that have been circling in his heart since the attempted departure, Chang Sheng chuckled lightly and rubbed his hands: "Wai Lie, why don't you count me as one?"

Zi Shi was in a hurry: "Gu Changsheng! You didn't discipline your two apprentices well, and even took advantage of the danger..." While speaking, the two younger ones approached, and they shouted in a panic: "Look at my water escape! ——" Turning around and rushing towards the hot spring, he stopped suddenly after taking half a step.Zi Zhou Zigui rushed forward with all his strength, but he didn't say anything, because the two cooperated too tacitly, and the landing point was exactly the same. They collided with each other with a "bang", screamed repeatedly, and fell to the ground complaining to each other.

Changsheng Jianzi Shi came towards him triumphantly, and stretched out his arms to stop him.Greeting in the mouth: "Zi Zhou, Zi Gui, hurry up, prepare to catch a turtle in the urn." I thought: Now it depends on where you run.

Zi Shi stood opposite him, and first gave him a sad look.Then he said faintly: "Are you really going to join forces with them to bully me?"

How could Changsheng survive such a battle, it was like a thunderbolt fell on his head on a sunny day, and he was stunned on the spot.When he woke up, Li Zishi had already circled behind him.When I turned around, I saw him standing on the stone with his hands behind his back, laughing out loud.Suddenly put away his smile, and looked arrogantly: "You three, master and apprentice, use the more to bully the less, and the strong to bully the weak. Unfortunately, you only know how to use brute force. I can just "strike east and west", and immediately wipe out your entire army..."

"Isn't it?" Chang Sheng felt that he had lost his hand, and approached with a smirk, "How did I remember——there is another "beauty trick" that can't be put on the table..." The latter sentence came in front of Zi Shi before whispering .

"Gu Changsheng...uh...Gu Shaoxia, Mr. Gu, you have a lot..." Zi Shi's face flushed slightly, and he took two steps back, about to fall into the water.Changsheng gave up revenge and grabbed him.

"I'm really tired, I don't want to play any more." After this fight, his temples were soaked, and beads of sweat hung from the tip of his nose.Simply lean on Changsheng's arm and look around.I was busy playing around just now, so I didn't pay attention to take a closer look, but now I looked at it intently, and was immediately speechless by the scene in front of me.

An irregular oval water surface ahead.The hot spring here is hot and dense like clouds, while the cold pool and cold stream over there are as clear as a mirror.The hot spring water gushes out continuously from the underground caves, and there are countless places where thousands of pieces of crushed snow pile up, forming a large torrent that reverberates endlessly, making it impossible for the cold pool water on the other side to seep through.On both sides, one is hot and the other is cold, one is moving and the other is still, with clear boundaries and harmonious coexistence.It was right at noon at that time, the sun was shining directly down, and a layer of colorful rainbow light was reflected on the water surface, transpiring and tumbling, as if it were real or unreal.

Looking up, the surrounding cliffs go straight up to the sky, enclosing this strange water area.On the opposite side of the cold pool, the stone wall rose from the ground, like a knife and an axe.The skyscrapers are thousands of feet high, the color is light and bright, and there is no grass growing.Zi Shi thought to himself: "This is simply a large natural mirror. No wonder Wu Zongqiao said, "The cliff is high and the well is deep, but the cave is like a field." This place is close to the hot spring, and can get the reflected sunlight. The hillside is warm and humid , Spring is always there.In the low places, there are luxuriant grasses and colorful flowers; in the high places, vines hang upside down, and the knots are linked together.Pink, white and green, gorgeous and mottled, really beautiful.What's even more surprising is that at the bottom of the valley, which is closed on all sides, there are colorful butterflies dancing among the flowers from nowhere.

On the other hand, where the sun does not shine on both sides, there are other wonders.

Due to the fact that it is next to the cold pool and lacks light, a world of white jade and glazed ice and snow has been created.Zi Shi thought of the sentence in Wu Zongqiao's article, and couldn't help reciting aloud: "The bamboo trees are covered with velvet, the lingering fog turns into ice, and the branches are exquisite. Shaking the jade pei, the sound leaves gold and stone. Occasionally falling to the ground, it is like the collapse of a jade mountain and the collapse of a snow peak. As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the crisp sound of "Ding Dong". I don't know which bamboo branch could not bear the frozen leaves and fell on the rock by the pool. Cheng Jiecai.

Looking at that piece of Qiongzhi jade leaves, several people were all fascinated.Finally, Zi Shi said softly: "How can words describe such a wonderful place? What Wu said is really less than eleven."

"I just said I want you to come and see for yourself." Changsheng murmured.

Previously, Zi Shi heard from him that he came to explore the road, and asked about the actual scenery, but the person who was asked refused to talk about it.Glancing in the morning light that day, Chang Sheng only had the words "good-looking" and "beautiful" coming and going in his mind.I always feel that such a reluctant description, it is better to wait for him to see it with his own eyes.Just now, I heard him recite the words and phrases of the predecessors, matched with the real scene in front of me, secretly praised that it is vivid and appropriate, and complements each other.When I heard "the text says it's less than eleven", I couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that the scenery is particularly different in his eyes?

"If he can live here for a long time, even if he loses ten years of life, it will be worth it..." The people around him sighed.Changsheng suddenly felt something in his heart, and then looked at the ice sculptures and jade bricks, the Yinque Yaotai, it was so beautiful that it was beyond words.Gently hugging his shoulders, silently standing beside him, lost in thought with him.

——The Taoyuan fairyland in front of you, and the sea of ​​blood and mortals beyond the mountains, are two completely different worlds.It's just that this one is just a chance encounter and stays temporarily, but the other one has to plunge into it and stay together forever.

The midday sun poured down from overhead, and the breath of the two people merged into one in the air.Changsheng's heart suddenly became transparent: If he can wander here with him, the moment is eternity, what is ten years of life?If we can stay together with him, eternity is also an instant, so what is the shackles of ordinary grievances, right and wrong, and disputes?

No matter what, always try my best and give it a go.

For a moment, my heart was surging, and my arms couldn't help but exert their strength.

"It hurts..." Zi Shi snorted softly and turned his head, "What are you thinking about? Gritting your teeth."

"No..." Rubbing for him, asked, "Are you hungry?"

The shoulder blades in the hands are as thin as a chip.During the time at Hua's house, it was hard to grow a few catties of meat, but in the past few days, all of them have been lost.

Zi Shi didn't know how Chang Sheng's jumping thinking came about, he thought: Where is this all?Rubbing his stomach: "I seem to be a little hungry."

"Go, let's eat."

Due to the perennial water immersion and erosion, caves and bamboo shoots are everywhere under the cliffs on all sides.Most are hidden at the bottom of the water, and a few are half exposed above the water, either bright or dark, some are deep and some are shallow.Between the holes, sometimes the top of the head is intermittent, and sometimes they are connected underwater, and the holes are staggered and pierced, overlapping and handing over.Zi Shi deduced that there should be a large underground sea of ​​hot springs and a group of caves formed by the erosion of spring water.The cold water on the opposite side does not know where it comes from.

Several people put their nests in a dry cave on the side of a small hill where the sun can shine.The stone pillars and stalagmites are like natural doors and windows, dividing the whole cave into several small spaces.Changsheng lived at the entrance of the cave, and Zishi chose the innermost platform close to the spring.The water vapor under the stage filled the air like clouds and mist.In this deep cave and dark cave, people feel like they are relying on the emptiness to control the sky.

"Be careful of falling off while sleeping at night." Chang Sheng took a look and moved a few stones for him to make a guardrail.

"It's okay to fall." Zi Shi sat on the edge of the platform, soaking his bare feet in the water.Stretching, falling back, I let out a long groan in comfort.Squinting his eyes, he said: "I don't know what's in this water, but it can't sink. Fortunately, the smell is not unpleasant, but it's a pity that it doesn't taste good... This is the jade pan fairy dew that is said to be able to cure all diseases... Could it be a good medicine? ?..."

Changsheng immediately remembered the entanglement in the water between the two of them the day before, and accidentally tasted the taste of the spring water, and his heart felt numb and itchy.Looking at Li Zishi, the white mist rises from his feet. It doesn't look like lying on the ground, but it is lying across the fairy palace in the cave.

Take two steps forward.I knew very well what I was going to do next.

Another two steps closer.Some pictures that had been sealed for many days and could not be looked back suddenly broke into my mind.The scene in the Guanyin Hall in the Bodhi Temple on the makeup removal table uncontrollably flashed repeatedly, and the two legs immediately weighed more than a thousand catties.

The clamoring and jumping desire was suddenly cooled by the boundless pain... The pity and sorrow that penetrated the bone marrow seemed not only for him, but also for himself—for this fateful encounter, for his ignorance at the moment, for I am alone and resolutely awake.

The body that was about to move settled down: "Wait a little longer..."

In such physical and mental suffering, Changsheng heard the sound of his soul tearing and growing.

He stretched out his hand and pulled him up: "Although it's not cold, it's damp after all. Don't stay here for long. Lying on the outside at night, do you hear me?"

"Understood, Mrs. Gu."

Ignoring him, said: "Let's go out and see how the two little guys are doing."

Zigui and Zizhou live next to each other, close to the entrance of the cave.The stone walls of the two's residence are covered with stalactites, which are crystal clear and moist, in various poses and with different expressions, and the room is full of beauty.Changsheng was surprised to find that there was actually a potted flower in Zigui's room!Taking a closer look, the girl made a bamboo bowl for eating into a basin, transplanted a wild flower and placed it on the window sill.

"Zigui, what are you going to eat with?" Changsheng asked.Although the bamboo bowl is strong and light, it doesn't take much.

"Don't you still have a spoon? Just eat it in the pot." The girl was admiring the fruits of her labor with great interest, and expressed her disdain for the question of what to eat.

Zi Shi laughed: "What a silly girl." Talking about Chang Sheng, the two came out of the hole.

"Go over there and chop a bigger bamboo." After giving the order, he took a leisurely walk among the flowers and plants.After a while the bamboo arrived, commanding Chang Sheng to cut the knife next to the bamboo joints, and cut out several bamboo tubes with empty ends and solid ends.I picked a few of the biggest ones, dug a small hole at the bottom, put thin bamboo branches in it, and began to fill it with soil.

In the spirit of "implement even if you understand, and execute even if you don't understand", someone who followed the command at a loss suddenly realized: he wants to grow flowers.

The two of them worked together, and after a short while, they made seven or eight pocket flower pots.Zi Shi lowered his head and looked at it, and said: "The cave is mainly white, and the red one looks best." As he said, he pinched a sharp stone and dug out the roots of deep and shallow red wild flowers.The bottom of the hillside is full of stones, and there is only a layer of floating soil on the top. Most of the flowers and plants have very shallow roots, so it is very easy to dig.

Several bamboo tubes are full.He picked it up to have a look, and suddenly said to the person next to him: "Your sword skills should be pretty good, right?"

"What are you doing?" Chang Sheng didn't go around in circles with him.

"Well, this way, this way..."

After everything was done, things were hidden behind her, and she walked up to her sister: "Close your eyes."

"Brother, what is it?" The girl was excited and asked again and again.

"Close your eyes and you'll know right away."

Covering his face with his hands, he kept asking, "Are you all right? Are you all right?"

"Okay. Look up."

Hearing this, Zigui looked up: "Wow—" he exclaimed, hugging Zishi's arms and jumped up, "Brother! So beautiful, so beautiful..."

It turned out that Zi Shi asked Chang Sheng to drill holes in the edge of the bamboo tube, cut off extremely thin and thin bamboo strips, weaved some long ropes, and hung them in a random order on the ceiling of the cave.Zizhou heard the commotion and came over to watch the excitement.I saw red flowers and emerald tubes in the sky, surrounded by flawless white walls, very elegant and beautiful.

Duduzui: "Brother is really eccentric." Picking up the basin on the window sill, "This is mine." Turning around and going back to the next door.

"Li Zizhou, return my bowl!" Zigui threw himself into pursuit.

Chang Sheng said: "There is plenty of bamboo, let's make a few bowls."

A few bowls were cut out, and finally a thinner section of bamboo was left, and a few cups were cut out.

"I knew there was a bamboo forest here, so I don't need to bring any bowls and chopsticks." Zi Shi said as he took the dagger and tried it on the discarded bamboo pole. .He used a knife as a substitute for writing, and the traces were very shallow, but he swayed it casually, full of charm.But for a moment, the patterns and verses of "Plum Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum" appeared on the outer walls of the four cups respectively, with a freehand style, elegant and refined.

"Excuse me, just for embellishment." After finishing speaking, he began to tidy up the branches and leaves scattered on the ground.

Changsheng picked up the cups and looked at them one by one: "I don't see that you still have this hand."

"I'm a wit..." After half a sentence, I couldn't help laughing, "It doesn't matter if you are smart or not, you have to know a little bit of everything. Otherwise, when the wits get together and make a fool of themselves, how can they mess around?" Smile Stronger, "I'm too lazy to work hard, only a few freehand brushstrokes, all relying on opportunism, the effect of fooling people is first-rate, haha..."

Changsheng choked on the spot.

"You're not this kind of person, so there's no need to talk nonsense with you..."

Seeing him reeling from side to side with joy, extraordinary complacency, what filled Changsheng's heart was actually bitter and astringent, full of pity.

Of the four cups, Zizhou took the "bamboo", Zigui picked the "lan", Changsheng took the "plum", and Zishi had to use the rest.

The happy and happy seclusion life officially began.

In the first few days, Zi Shi's life was extremely corrupt.Every day I sleep until I wake up naturally, and when I wake up, I jump into the hot spring.Soak until you crawl out hungry, and eat ready-made shamelessly.Besides eating, sleeping and sleeping, they either basked in the sun on the hillside, or stood by and watched the hard work of the three.

As if to contrast his laziness, sloppyness, lack of progress, and self-deprecation... The other three masters and apprentices wake up every morning for morning exercises, study books in the afternoon, and forage in the afternoon. They are hard-working and busy.

Since what happened last time, Zigui deeply hated himself for being unable to protect himself, and for bringing his elder brother into trouble, so he practiced martial arts very hard.Changsheng knew what she was thinking and tried his best to teach her.

It was a rare early morning, and Zi Shi sat on the rock to watch the two young duels.Each person holds a bamboo pole in his hand, "crackling" you come and go, very similar to that.Rolling up his sleeves, he looked at his arms, sighed, and stood up.I thought to myself: "Forget about martial arts, just putting on airs will make people laugh, and it is still necessary to exercise." After resting for so many days, my energy and spirit have almost recovered.Move your hands and feet, take off only a pair of trousers, jump into the water and swim to the cold pool.

Except for getting out from the bottom of the pool in the middle of the night on the first day, this was his first visit here.The silver scales are dotted under the sun, and if you look carefully, it turns out to be groups of silver fish.The water in the pool was so clear that the fish seemed to be right at hand, but they couldn't be caught, so I realized that they were actually hidden very deep.As soon as he dived down, the school of fish immediately dispersed in shock and fled away suddenly.

He raised his head happily: "Fish! There are fish here!"

The three on the shore didn't even look at him.Zi Shi resentfully said, "You guys already knew? You didn't tell me..."

Chang Sheng said: "Come up, it's cold over there." Contrary to Zi Shi, he was soaking in the cold pool when he had time these days because of the shame of having cramps in the snow water.

"We discovered it a long time ago, but we couldn't catch it..." Zizhou scratched his head.

"I can see but I can't eat..." Zi Shi pondered as he went back to the cave to change his clothes, "Fish in cold water in the cold pool, good food..."

The four of them brought some dry rice food, which couldn't last too long.There are a lot of kudzu root and fern growing on the cliff facing the sun in this Juegu Valley, and the lichen and rock fungus tentacles can be seen in the shade, and there are probably bamboo shoots to dig in the bamboo forest - you won't starve, but it's a pity that they are all vegetarian, and there is no meat.I can't get what I want, but the three of them probably can't, not to mention the two younger ones are growing up... there used to be a group of monkeys on the cliff, and for some reason, they only stopped at half the waist and never went down.Zi Shi guessed that there might be something in the hot spring water that they didn't like.Changsheng seriously considered shooting a few monkeys down to improve the food, but Yingui strongly opposed it.

After breakfast, the three of them studied hard in Zizhou Cave.The twins endorsed, Changsheng wrote.

There is a large natural stone in Zizhou's residence, the top is as flat as a table, and it just happens to be a desk.At the beginning, he insisted on choosing this cave because of this stone.A few square stones were moved to serve as stools, and pens, inks, papers and inkstones were placed on the table, as if it were a study room.

When it was just set up, Zi Shi and others went in to have a look.Zizhou announced loudly: "I want to give my study a name!" Puffing his cheeks, he held back for a long time, but he didn't come out.Discouraged: "What do you call it?"

"What about "Bie You Tian"?" Zi Gui asked.

"Stingy." Zi Zhou denied his sister without thinking.

""Dragon Recluse"?" Chang Sheng came up with an idea.

The boy chuckled: "This is good, it has momentum."

"It's too straightforward." Zi Shi shook his head, "It's better than "Xiaolanghuan's blessed land"."

"Vulgar." Changsheng retaliated.

""Be extravagant"?"

"hard to pronounce."

""Sanxingzhai"?"

"Antique."

…………

In the end Zi Shi got impatient, he shook his sleeves and said, "You don't have a single book in this study, so why not call it "No Study"."

Zi Zhou was helpless: "Brother——"

Changsheng couldn't laugh or cry: "How can you be so lazy..."

Zi Shi raised his head: "The sage said: "It is better to have no books than to believe in books." The predecessors also said: "Listen to thunder where there is no sound, and read books where there are no words." The word "no book" is very bold. color, the way is full of the true meaning of reading, it is profound, appropriate and unique, why not?"

What he said made the boy happy: "This is good, this is good, that's it."

Changsheng was depressed: "Li Zishi, you can really talk..."

All in all, when the three of them were studying diligently in "No Study Room", Zi Shizheng took a small bamboo tube and lay down on the edge of the cliff to catch bugs.A few things resembling oilflies and grasshoppers flew from time to time, and he tiptoed along behind them.Every time you catch one, stuff it through the small hole at one end of the bamboo tube.Listening to the humming inside gave me a sense of accomplishment.

Chang Sheng wrote two articles, first he stood quietly and read them.I thought to myself: "What are you doing catching bugs? He doesn't feel disgusted by such fluffy and dirty things..." Seeing that he was climbing higher and higher without knowing it, and he would probably not come down after a while, he wanted to remind him loudly, but he was scared instead. With that, he simply stomped his feet and jumped up, directly hugged his waist and brought him down.

Zi Shi felt dizzy for a while, and when he opened his eyes, he was already standing on the ground.When I was concentrating on my work, I was interrupted for no reason. I was very annoyed, and roared: "Gu Changsheng!..." I suddenly realized that the posture of the two people was extremely ambiguous, and I must not disturb the two younger ones. Frown and push him.

A few days ago, Changsheng was fooled by the so-called "beauty trap", which was quite unreasonable given his level of intelligence.But because he has a lot of indirect experience but too little practical experience (indirect experience is useless when talking about certain things, let alone some negative experience...), so he is a bit green.Once the opportunity is given, the enlightenment is enlightened, and the speed of progress will be rapid.Seeing that Zi Shi suddenly stopped talking at this moment, he immediately realized that the time for revenge had come.The arms were secretly locked tighter and tighter, with a serious face: "Climb so high, how do you plan to get down?"

"If I can't get down, I will naturally shout, you are not a living thing with ears. Stupid!..." The person who answered deliberately lowered his voice because of concerns, but found that he accidentally made the atmosphere more ambiguous, and then silenced.

"Well, I forgot, you turned out to be a living creature with a long mouth..." Changsheng lowered his head along with the voice.

"Crack!" With a crisp sound, the bamboo tube fell to the ground.

"No... here... no..."

"Is it "No"...or..."Not here"?"

yeah?He actually asked such an interesting question, I am amazed.Zi Shi couldn't help but feel refreshed, his bad nature broke out, and he became interested.She raised her neck, stretched out a finger and traced a fan shape on his lips Ruoyouwu, her eyes followed suit.Then he lowered his eyes, as if talking to himself: "What do you say?..."

This move of Bone-Mian Palm made Changsheng not only soft in his bones, but even his soul didn't know where he went, and he couldn't find southeast, north, south, and north for a long time.Zi Shi broke free from him, picked up the bamboo tube on the ground, squeezed the two grasshoppers that were trying to escape, stuffed them in, blocked the small hole, and said with a double meaning: "Hmph, this is a good way, fight with me..."

He tapped the idiot's head with a bamboo tube in his hand: "Let's go, call your two apprentices, and let's go fishing!"
