575,【To find the person you want to find】
Needless to say, the chaotic scenery you see along the way.
After more than ten days of changing directions, the land under my feet is still flat, with farmlands on both sides of the road, and most of the seedlings in the fields have not yet sprouted. They are the corn planted in spring, and some are green in the fields, which are wheat seedlings that have just returned to green.
There are many villages and towns in disorderly intertwined in the middle of the fields, which are random and natural. The distance between villages and towns is barely apart. Every household in the village has mulberry trees, willows, and willows, and there are scattered vegetable beds, which are planted with sunflowers, green grass, leeks, garlic, and so on. There are pigs, cows, ducks, and geese locked in the fenced livestock and pigpens, all of which are eating and chewing their own food.
Fang Chang stood by the village and looked forward.
There is a high mountain there, which stands abruptly on the plain, as if there is a stone pen holder on a flat desk. At this time, the clouds and mist in the mountains are quite high, half blocking the sunlight, but apart from the high peaks, they do not block the mountain. So this ink-colored mountain is clearly imprinted on the blue sky behind the distant mountains.
What is particularly strange is that the mountain in the distance is very straight on the ground on this side of the original land, as if it were cut by a sharp blade. But Fang Chang knew that this was not cut by an ancient powerful man who swung his sword and axe, but a deep underground fault zone, where the two sides of the fault zone were constantly shifting. After a long geological age, the part of the mountain originally here was moved hundreds of miles away.
He looked quietly at the spectacular mountain in the distance for a while, and then continued to walk forward. From the mouths of the people around him, Fang Chang had already known the name of the mountain and a slightly absurd legend.
According to legend, countless years ago, this place was still a large plain and there were no mountains. From here, I could see the end of the sky at all times. But this was not good for the people living here, because it was too far away from the legendary sea and there were no mountains, allowing water vapor to float from the sky and rain could not be reduced. Therefore, the families living here were very poor, and the land suitable for reclaiming was even scarce.
There is a cowherd who is very poor at home, or as poor as the people here. He goes out to herd cattle every day. In order to find the best grass for his old ox, the cowherd always has to go far and far. However, over time, he is already very familiar with where to go for herding cattle, so his cows are always fuller and stronger than other people's cows.
One day in midsummer, the cowherd was walking away with the cow. Suddenly, he felt the rope on his hand become motionless, and he staggered. When he turned around, he found that the cow was standing still and he even sighed. This situation was so anxious that the cowherddled. After all, it was a big problem that the cowherd didn't leave in the village before and the cow suddenly stopped leaving.
The cowherd was anxious, but no matter how he urged or drove it away, the cow still stopped moving. Seeing that the cow refused to move, the cowherd burst into tears. He said, "Cow, cow, go quickly, otherwise you will not be able to eat fresh grass."
As a result, the cow suddenly spoke, which scared the cowherd.
I heard the scalper say, "Little master, I'm leaving."
When the cattle herders heard this, they even forgot their fear. After all, cows are an important source of life for a family. Without cows, people cannot cultivate too many such barren fields. The output in the fields is insufficient, so the whole family can only go hungry.
He asked Lao Niu anxiously:
"Ah, ah, why do you want to leave? Is the grass I look for every day not fresh?"
Old Niu shook his head and said:
"No, little master, let me tell you the reason for my departure."
The old ox told the cowherd that he was originally a god in the sky. Because he offended people, he had to turn into a cow and hide here, using ordinary people as a shelter, and he hid for many years. Even the method of how to change back was lost, but he felt that there was nothing wrong with being a cow.
But recently, he felt that someone was gradually approaching his hiding place, so he had to escape again, so he was ready to say goodbye to his little master.
The cowherd said in a dark mood: "What should I do if you leave?"
The old ox said:
"Don't worry, I'll leave you with an extremely sharp axe. It's good to chop wood and be a woodcutter."
"But where are there trees here?"
"It will be available soon. There will be a mountain here, with many trees inside. If you cut firewood and pick it up to sell it in nearby towns, you will live better than you are now. Moreover, the fields here are drought and barren, and there is an uninhabited wasteland to the west. Every day, you have to go far and far. After the mountains here appear, you can block the water vapor in the sky, the rain here will be abundant, and there will be streams and rivers, and the wasteland will become fertile fields."
"Where will the mountain be?"
The old ox reached out and drew a line on the ground: "From this line to the west, there are all mountains."
The cowherd was convinced, and then the old yellow cow turned into a gust of sand and dust and suddenly flew away. Then the wasteland in front of him began to rise, and it grew ten feet high every day. Four months later, the mountain stopped growing, and then trees grew that year, and the people here also ushered in a rare harvest.
The most wonderful thing is that this mountain is cut straight on the line drawn by the old cow. In addition, from a certain angle, the mountain is like a plowing ox lying next to a stone trough, so later people named the plowing ox mountain.
It is said that the old cow still lives in this mountain, hiding from other people's searches.
Because the mountain is extremely complex, people can no longer find him. But the old cow likes the most to grab the disobedient child at the foot of the mountain and use his fluffy tail to scratch his armpits - especially those who don't like to sleep at night.
Of course, Fang Chang heard this story at night.
The legend of the bedtime story has long become very absurd and cannot be verified at all. It is somewhat consistent with the facts. The only thing that can be confirmed is that this mountain must not be done by manpower.
When he reached the foot of the mountain, Fang Chang broke into the mountain without hesitation.
Living in Xianqi Cliff for many years, he is very familiar with the journey in the mountains. According to Lingjue's guidance, he turned around and found the place he wanted to find and saw the person he wanted to find.
Fang Chang has been away from his disciple for a while. When he was back, he suddenly thought of this and simply did it with his heart and changed the direction of his journey. He came to see if his disciple Fu Qi had lived well after entering the mountain and how his cultivation progressed.
