Only I Shall Be Immortal - 45. Chapter 45 Zen Hongzhi (Part 2)
The chief had already burst into tears and said respectfully: “Thank you En Gong for helping the Shasi brothers to bury. We don’t dare to forget everything that En Gong has done today. Please come to our tribe to rest and rest. Let us do our best to be a landlord.” The villagers voluntarily gave way. Hailong is indeed a little hungry. He has been eating and sleeping these days, and he also wants to find a place to take a good rest. Turning to look at Hongzhi, he walked towards the tribe surrounded by the villagers.
The tribes of the Western Regions are very hospitable, not to mention that Hailong is their great benefactor. Every family brings their best things to entertain the two Hailong, cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle for a time, and it is busy.
What surprised Hailong was that as soon as he had a meal in the evening, Hongzhi could not wait to tore a leg of lamb and chew it, watching him look greasy, he looked like a monk.
“Hey, I said Xiaozhi, aren’t all of you who practice Buddha a vegetarian?” Hailong asked suspiciously.
Hongzhi chewed on the fragrant mutton, with a satisfied expression on his face, and said, “Our Zen Buddhism does not taboo these things. Master, his old man likes wine and meat the most. When I follow him in the practice, he will go out to buy things every time. It is often said that meat and wine have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha sits in his heart. It is not necessary to be too formal in cultivating Buddha. As long as you devoutly believe in the Buddha, you can eat some meat and wine. Wow, brother, this mutton tastes so good, delicious and fragrant. It’s tender, it’s much more delicious than the meat that the master brought back. You can eat it too!” As he said, he immediately poured a large glass of kumiss.
Hailong looked at him dumbfounded and smiled bitterly: “So you are still a monk of wine and meat. But I like it. I hate the restrained life the most. Eat, eat more.”
Seeing the two of Hailong eating and drinking, the chief of the Kaer’s tribe immediately opened his eyes and toasted to the two of Hailong. Hailong was born with a lot of alcohol, and the stamina of mare kumiss was small. He still didn’t have a hint of drunk after drinking dozens of cups. While eating, he asked the chief: “Do you know that there is a Lianyun Mountain in our Western Regions?”
The chief was stunned and said, “It seems to be there. Blessed, where are you going? It’s better to stay with us for a few more days. Although we are not very rich here, we guarantee that you can eat fresh beef and mutton every day.” For the young man in front of him, he has a heartfelt affection. And from a selfish point of view, if the sea dragon can stay here for a long time, it will only benefit the tribe.
Hailong shook his head and said, “I still have to go back quickly. That is my home! Chief, think about it, as long as you can tell me the general direction of Lianyun Mountain.”
The chief sighed. He also knew that he couldn’t keep it. He said, “My dear, there is a treasure in our clan. With it, you will be able to find Lianyun Mountain. Wait a minute and I will go. Come.” After speaking, he turned around and got out of the tent. After a while, he turned around with a leather roll.
He handed the paper scroll with both hands, and said, “Benevolence, this is the treasure handed down by our ancestors, so I will give it to you.” Hailong hesitated and thought, is it because the treasure map is not made? If it really is, you will be well developed. Thinking of this, I quickly received it. The chief explained: “This is a map of the entire Western Regions, which was obtained by ancestors inadvertently. It was just that there was no name on it. As our ancestors of the Karda tribe continue to explore, they have marked some known place names. Just now I took a look, and there is no Lianyun Mountain as you mentioned. But there are many mountains and rivers on this map. If you are familiar with the terrain, you should be able to find the exact location. I can help you, so That’s so much.”
Although Hailong was a little disappointed in his heart, he also knew that this was what he needed most now. He thanked him and opened the paper scroll. This is a map made of sheepskin. The craftsmanship is very sophisticated. Although it is obviously a very old thing, it is not damaged in the slightest. The topography of various mountains and rivers is drawn on the map, and some of them are indeed marked.
Hongzhi came over curiously, looked at the map and said, “This is really a treasure. I don’t know how much experience it takes to draw it! I think it might be the work of an immortal.”
Hailong glanced at him, and said: “Where are so many immortals, even if we are a cultivator, as long as we make up our minds, we can draw them in a long time. Chief, thank you very much, but this map is too precious. , You just need to imitate a copy of it for us.”
The chief shook his head and said: “If we don’t have two benefactors, I am afraid that our Karta tribe would not exist. We have a few copies of the copy, which is enough. You must accept this original treasure! Otherwise! , Our people will also blame me. Treating friends, our karsha tribe has never been stingy.”
Hailong nodded and said, “Then I’m welcome, thank you, Chief.”
That night, under the urge of drinking, Hailong and Hongzhi went to bed early. In the early morning, before dawn, Hongzhi was pulled from the bed by Hailong.
Rubbing his hazy eyes and looking out the window, Hongji said with some dissatisfaction: “Big Brother Hailong, it’s still dark, what are you doing to me and let me sleep for a while.”
Hailong knocked a note on Hongzhi’s bald head, and said, “What to sleep, go quickly. The people of this tribe are too enthusiastic. If we go during the day, I am afraid there will be a lot of trouble.”
“Oh” Hongzhi got up helplessly, stretched his waist, and put his robes on his body, Hailong urged mana to infuse the universe ring, took out a few things from it, and then grabbed the map on the table and talked with Hongzhi. Quietly left the tribe. While walking, Hailong asked Hongzhi: “Can you fly?”
Hongzhi nodded and said, “Of course it can? But elder brother, don’t you think that walking like this will be very beneficial to practice? I once saw in a book left by the master that it is better to read thousands of books than to travel thousands of miles. It’s natural to travel. Oh! By the way, brother, what do you leave in the tribe? It seems to be a few sheets of paper.”
Hailong smiled and said, “You don’t understand this. What I left is a silver ticket, which is a ten thousand tael silver ticket, which can be used to exchange many things. We ate so many things yesterday and took them again. People’s maps should always be rewarded. That village is already poor enough.” In fact, Hailong doesn’t have such a good heart. His style is always at the expense of others and self-interest. It’s just that the tribe has a lot of similarities with the village where he grew up. The elephant thing was moved by the behavior of the sauce, so that’s why. What Hailong didn’t know was that as early as last night, Hongzhi had imposed a curse on the entire village, and even if there was an invasion of evil things like ghouls, he would return without success.
Hongzhi looked at Hailong admiringly and said, “Big Brother, you are so thoughtful, I didn’t expect it! It’s really lucky for me to follow you.”
Hailong said triumphantly: “Of course, I am the smartest person in the world. Before I wake you up in the morning, I have found the approximate location of Lianyun Mountain. This is also my first time out of the mountain. It’s easy!” As he said, he opened the map and pointed to the place below: “This is our current location. You look up. On the top of the map, the place replaced by the cloud symbol should be We are in the Lianyun Mountain Range. After all, it is impossible for outsiders to enter except for people from our sect. I can’t say that it’s right, but it’s not far from ten.”
Hongzhi said with joy: “That’s good! Let’s go back to you Lian Yunzong as soon as possible. Even the eldest brother, you are so good, isn’t your teacher a man of immortals?”
Hailong took it for granted: “That is, our place is a fairyland on earth. When you arrive, you will understand. By the way, what kind of person is your master? How could he pass away?”
Hongzhi said sadly: “The master is very good to me. I can’t remember the things when I was a child. I didn’t seem to have parents at that time. I was taken away by the master when wandering on the streets. Later, I followed the master. Cultivating in the mountains, about a hundred years ago, the master suddenly told me that he had reached the limit, and he was sitting in the mountains. His old man walked peacefully. When he was dying, he told me that he had never had the final state of Dzogchen. His courage and determination are not strong enough to continue practicing. He can only choose to sit and turn into a stone to preserve his Buddha’s thoughts. Maybe after thousands of years, he will be able to come back to life when his Buddha’s thoughts solidify. The master said that I am a Buddhist practitioner. Genius, let me go out of the mountain after a hundred years of retreat, and then passed away. I am really sad, the master is my only relative, and when he died, I became a person. However, the Buddha treated me really not thinly, yesterday. Let me meet you again, big brother, and I will have support in the future, big brother, thank you for allowing me to stay by your side.”
Hailong’s heart trembled slightly. He knew that he just wanted to take advantage of Hongji. He didn’t want to help him at all. An indescribable sense of depression suddenly rose in his heart. He turned around abruptly and said, “Go ahead.” , Spurred mana, and quickly moved towards the distance. Hongzhi looked at Hailong’s back and sighed slightly, and said, “Brother, following you, maybe this is my most important experience.” The yellow Buddha light lit up, but he didn’t see him posing, he had already caught up behind Hailong, just floating like that. Follow Hailong forward.
With a clear direction, it is much easier to move forward. According to the map, in a day’s work, they have already walked one-tenth of the distance to reach the Lianyun Mountain.
Hongzhi stopped with a sad face and said, “Big brother, this remote country has no place to shelter from the wind. What do we eat tonight! I’m already hungry.”
Hailong smiled and said, “Where are you like a cultivator of Buddhism, I don’t think you have cut off the six desires of the layman. Eating, drinking, and sleeping are even more unforgettable. Don’t you know what the six senses are? If it is now I let you eat and drink all day, and it will cause your cultivation to stagnate in the future, but don’t blame me.”
After spending a day with Hailong, Hongzhi seemed to have been infected by him. He laughed and said, “When I practice, I will be pure in six roots. It’s okay to be free on weekdays, so that I can focus on my mind! I really want to. Have another meal like yesterday, hey, when I think of the oily lamb, I, I just…”
Hailong said angrily: “Okay, don’t get intoxicated, let’s rest here today. After a day of running, I am already a little tired.” As he said, he sat on the ground.
Hongzhi blinked and said, “Big brother, isn’t it? It’s here. Why should you look for a small forest or behind a hillside? It’s very cold at night on the plateau. Look at my fair skin, Can you bear my heart to freeze me?” Hailong snorted disdainfully, then lay flat on the ground and said: “Come on, do you think I don’t know that you have reached the point where you are not invaded by cold or heat? There has been no place to live, no food or drink, it will not affect you.”
Hongzhi sat aside dissatisfiedly and said, “Even if my Buddha power can reach the level you said, then I am willing to eat and sleep well! How can you say that you are my elder brother, you should always take care of me.” After that, A person who was groaning had luck there, and the child’s xinxing was undoubtedly revealed.
Hailong really didn’t dare to offend the bodyguard he had deceived. He turned over and sat up, leaning over to Hongzhi’s side, and said, “Why, angry?”
Hongzhi turned his head and ignored him, Hailong smiled, grabbed the void with his right hand, and suddenly a fat and tender chicken leg appeared in his hand, took a bite, and said vaguely: “Hey, this chicken leg is really delicious! What a pity! His popularity is full, so I don’t need to eat it anymore.” As he said, he stuffed the chicken legs into his stomach in two bites. All of this was seen in Hongzhi’s eyes. He couldn’t help but his eyes widened. With his cultivation, he couldn’t see where the Hailong chicken leg came from. Judging from the smell of the chicken leg, it was definitely not a simulation. Here comes, but the real delicacy. After swallowing and spitting, Hongzhi tentatively said, “Brother, are there any more chicken legs. Can you give me one for my little brother. I’m really hungry!”
