Chapter 6 Sitting and Forgetting the Sutra of Immortality
But it turned out that the bearded man knew he couldn't be beaten and couldn't escape, so he blew himself up in anger!
The man in Tsing Yi, who was originally confident of winning, was caught off guard and hurriedly pulled out a big green umbrella in front of him. However, under the power of self-destruction, the big green umbrella shattered like an ordinary umbrella, and the man in Tsing Yi was like a kite with its string cut off. Like flying out.
Liu Qinghuan rested on the ground for a long time before feeling slightly better. As soon as he raised his body, he felt a sweet sensation in his throat and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Being so far away, Chi Yu was still affected, and he couldn't help but secretly complain. Fighting between immortals is extremely dangerous, and watching immortals fight is even more dangerous! If he encounters such excitement again in the future, he will not dare to look at it again and will definitely walk away as soon as possible. Fortunately, after spitting out the blood, my chest felt less tight.
Looking at the hilltop opposite, Liu Qinghuan was shocked. I saw that a layer of the hilltop on the opposite side had been cut off, and with the hilltop as the center, the surrounding trees fell neatly to the ground in a radial pattern.
Be good! What is this? Such a big battle!
Liu Qinghuan hesitated and waited for a long time, but there was no movement on the hilltop opposite. Curiosity couldn't stop popping up again. After waiting for a while, I decided to go up there and take a look. So he hunched his back and climbed up the mountain step by step, stopping from time to time to listen to the noise, for fear that the two immortals would suddenly fly out and slap him to death.
When we reached the top of the mountain, we saw that it was flat enough for a horse to run on, but there was a big pit in the middle with scorch marks everywhere and nothing. Liu Qinghuan stood by the pit and looked around, guessing what happened at that time.
After looking at the big pit, I wandered around and found a corpse in Tsing Yi that had been riddled with holes by the explosion at the edge of the platform.
The corpse's eyes were wide-eyed with an expression of disbelief. And the big man with the beard was nowhere to be seen. He must have either left or died. I'm afraid it's mostly the latter.
Liu Qinghuan squatted in front of the corpse and watched.
In the past few months, he had seen a small number of dead people and all kinds of tragic scenes, so he had long lost his fear. And dead people are not scary, only living people who live miserable lives are more scary.
It's just that before I saw this man in green with thunder and majesty all over his body, now his body is exposed in the wilderness like the refugees whose lives are like straw. Life is unpredictable, and it is often hard to guard against it. No matter how much glory you have in front of you, death will eventually bring equality to everyone.
"Huh?" Liu Qinghuan said softly and pulled off a small cloth bag hanging from the body's waist. He remembered that the man in green clothes he met for the first time had specially taken away the small cloth bags of the other two men in yellow clothes before leaving. This one looked exactly like the other two.
He took the small cloth bag in his hand and examined it. It was made of some kind of brown animal skin, about the size of a palm, with delicate cloud patterns embroidered on the surface, somewhat similar to a purse. Moreover, it was bulging, so it was obvious that there was something inside, but it felt as light as nothing in the hand.
He pinched the mouth of the bag and tried to open it, but found that it couldn't be opened at all. After thinking about it, he put it directly into his arms. Since even immortals wanted this kind of small cloth bag, he kept it for now and would study it slowly later.
He looked around the whole body of the man in blue and found nothing else. It was just on his chest, hidden under the tattered blue robe, that a piece of paper with a corner exposed caught Liu Qinghuan's attention.
He bowed to the corpse, then put his hand into his chest and took out the piece of paper.
There is writing on one side of the paper and no writing on the other, and the edges are torn. Liu Qinghuan had learned a lot of Chinese characters from Old Man Liu since he was a child. He picked it up and looked at it closely. He could barely make out five vague, thin and solemn ancient Chinese characters. He read out softly: "Zuowang Sutra."
He was stunned, and took out another book from his arms. He saw that the cover also said "Zuo Forget the Sutra of Immortality"!
This "sacred book" was given to him by Old Man Liu before he died, and he had repeatedly told him to hide it. At this moment, he actually found a broken page with the same "Zuo Forgetting Sutra of Immortality" written on an immortal's body!
Is this really a divine book? ! Is what Old Man Liu said true? Liu Qinghuan was extremely surprised and suspicious. Since he got this book, he has never turned it over except for looking at the cover. He just regarded it as a thought that Old Man Liu left for him.
At this moment, he couldn't wait to put the broken pages and the book side by side on the ground, and read out in comparison: "The most precious thing for people is life; the most precious thing for life is Tao. The Tao of people is like water for fish... "
The more he read about it, the more excited he became. The content on this fragment of page was indeed exactly the same as the content of the "Zuo Forgetting Immortality Sutra" in his hand! Moreover, many words on the remaining pages are blurred, and some of the edges are missing. It is not as complete as the book in his hand, as if someone wrote it based on memory, and some words were recalled incorrectly. The above content is only the first half of the first page of the "Zuowang Sutra", but the entire sutra has more than ten pages, and each page is painted with humanoid patterns in various postures, and there are also paintings on the humanoid body. Thin lines.
It was getting late now, so he suppressed his excitement, put away the book and the remaining pages, and prepared to leave. He looked at the Qingyi corpse again. If it hadn't been for him, he would have continued to "not realize that there is a mountain of treasures in vain", so he dug a shallow pit and buried him on the spot.
Dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth. No matter how windy and windy you are during your lifetime, you will be nothing but a handful of loess after your death. When you fight in the next life, either beat the other person to death at once, or don't do it. Don't force the other person to die with you and include yourself in it.
Like this, it's getting dark. Liu Qinghuan found his things, repaired them overnight, and continued on the road the next day.
It was almost August, and the weather was still extremely hot. Liu Qinghuan was traveling through the vast mountains. There was no shortage of food for the time being, but water was hard to find. He has entered the Hengwu Mountains. The scene here is indeed better than outside the mountains. At least you can see a little green, and occasionally you can see wild animals such as rabbits.
Liu Qinghuan was extremely tired and didn't want to leave anymore, so he was ready to find a suitable place to stay temporarily.
That day I arrived at a mountain col and saw a thin stream flowing through it. I couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurriedly took out a shriveled water bag to fill it with water.
A gust of wind passed by. He raised his head and closed his eyes to feel the rare cool breeze. When he opened his eyes again, he didn't know when large dark clouds had gathered in the sky, and soon the entire sky was filled with darkness.
It is going to rain! He quickly looked for a place to hide from the rain, and finally found a small cave halfway up the mountain before the rain came down. At this time, the wind was blowing so loudly that people could not stand steadily.
The cave is hidden behind a big tree and is extremely secluded. If he hadn't fallen down here and fell right at the entrance of the cave, he wouldn't have been able to find it. The entrance to the cave was very small, barely enough for him to crawl in half-crouched. Originally, he just wanted to get inside to escape the wind and rain. Unexpectedly, after walking about ten steps in, the cave turned around and a three to four feet wide and one foot high appeared. Big hole.
The cave is not dark. There is a gap in the roof of the cave on the right side, and light leaks in through the gaps in the leaves covering the gap. The ground is high on the left and low on the right, and is full of rocks.
Liu Qinghuan looked at it for a moment, then quickly got out of the hole again and dragged all the luggage into the hole. Because the arched wooden board was too big to drag in, it had to be abandoned first. After finding a relatively flat rock on the left to put down his luggage, Liu Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief and was in the mood to wait for the rain.
