Chapter 770 Finding the Way

Zhang feared that he was very happy, the scholar was straightforward, and thought: Kong Buer, the name is weird enough, it can be compared with the madman he met a few days ago. 26nbsp;Thinking wildly in his mind, he didn't think Kong Buer had used the gourd first, so he lifted it up and took a sip.

Seeing what he did, Kong Buer was very happy, and laughed loudly: "The hero is so forthright. It is a fate between you and me to be rescued by the hero today. I don't know what the name of the hero is?"

Zhang Fear smiled and said, "My name is Zhang Fear." "Oh? But there are signs?" The scholar became interested and asked earnestly.

Before this era, men's names were single characters, and when two people met, they could not call their names directly unless they had great hatred, otherwise it would be disrespectful to each other.But cultivators are prevalent on the mainland. This group of people regards the virtue of defying the sky. Of course, they don't care about how to get a secular name or how to call it, so there are all kinds of names.

The power of this group of people is too great, and the courts of all countries must rely on them to survive, and they even learn from them, and they can be named casually.Only a scholarly family would follow the ancient etiquette and choose a well-thought-out name.

Afraid of listening to Kong Buer's question, Zhang smiled and said, "It's just a name. It's enough to know who I am. What do you want to write? Your name is also very interesting. Buer, do you have a history?"

Kong Buer took back the wine gourd, took a sip of wine and said, "Of course there is a history. I want to live a vigorous life in this life. A man who says one thing is the same, that's the origin of my name."

Zhang Ai joked: "You can ask Kong Shuoyi." Kong Buer shook his head: "The momentum, saying Yi is far inferior to Buer."

Zhang Ai just laughed: "You took it yourself, didn't you?" Kong Buer's expression darkened, and he said loudly: "I took it by myself, my father drove me out of the house, so I returned my name to him. From then on, Lao Tzu has been called the only one, and it’s useless to say anything, and the things I look for, I say one thing.”

This person is quite interesting, Zhang was afraid that the night would be boring, but he would have more fun, picked up the jerky and chewed slowly: "Why did your father drive you out of the house?"

"Actually, it's nothing. My father was annoyed when I resigned from office and divorced my wife." Kong Buer was stunned for a moment, then said slowly.

Brutal!Is it okay to resign from office and divorce your wife?For ordinary people, the goal of being a human being in life is nothing more than money, power and beauty. If you have an official, you have money and power, and naturally there are beauties.

Looking at Kong Buer, seeing his expression as if he didn't care, he asked a series of questions: "Why did you resign and divorce your wife? What country are you from? What are you doing in Shiwan Dashan?"

Xu Shi held back for a long time without speaking, and through the wine, Kong Buer roughly narrated the matter.

Born in a family of officials, he was gifted and intelligent. He obtained fame in the big exam, and the imperial court arranged for him to be an eighth-rank government official.The old boy went to hang around for a while, and for some reason, he became close friends with a Taoist priest.The two drank and talked nonsense when they had nothing to do, and the Taoist told him the allusions and rumors he had heard from many sources as the truth. When the old boy heard it, the world still has this kind of life?

He has read a lot of books, and he has read many stories about "chaotic" gods and ghosts, so he thought about it. He used to listen to legends and stories, but today he met a living Taoist, thinking that there is indeed a way of longevity in the world. Among the common things, if you get confused, you will have the heart of cultivating Taoism.Very bravely resigned from office and divorced his wife, and went to seek longevity.Of course the ending was miserable, his father kicked him out of the house directly, and he changed his name to Buer, which means what he wanted in his life, never to be half-hearted, and never waver.

After being kicked out of the house, he became more determined to practice Taoism, so he decided to go out to visit his teacher.Generally speaking, most enlightened masters live in seclusion in famous mountains, and he will go to find them in famous mountains.

His family lives in Pingxi County, which is the westernmost county of Qi State, and further west is Yan State.Zhang feared that these two places had been tossing for a while.If you want to blame, you can only blame the mainland for being too small, not enough to worry about tossing.

Kong Buer is going to a famous mountain to visit his teacher, but Longhu Mountain is too far away, and the closest mountain range to Pingxi County is Shiwanda Mountain.He asked his close acquaintance who encouraged him to practice Taoism, and the false Taoist said: "There is another way of cultivation in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, which is not weaker than Dragon and Tiger Mountain." Therefore, Kong Buer entered the mountain.

The journey was very hard. It took more than a month to walk more than 800 miles. I saw some high and low mountain peaks. I didn't find the gods, but I found many wild animals.But his life is good, coupled with his usual martial arts training to strengthen his body, he insisted on persevering to save his life.Then he met five wolves and was rescued by Zhang Fear.

Zhang Ai wanted to laugh when he heard that, this guy is so simple, his close friend dared to instigate others without knowing what was going on, and this clever Kong Buer actually believed it.After eating the jerky, he clapped his hands and said, "Rest, I'll send you out of the mountain tomorrow, you're wandering around here, it's no different from courting death."

He was kind, but Kong Buer didn't do it. He said stubbornly: "I will never go out of the mountain, and I will definitely visit the Master. I am all of one mind."

Zhang was afraid to persuade: "Going further in, it's not as simple as five wolves. Are you here to learn the Tao, or to feed the wild beasts?"

"Even though the wild beasts are ferocious, the student hasn't died yet, has he? I firmly believe that all kinds of suffering in the world are trials. As long as I have the same Dao heart and sincere gratitude to the world, there will be immortals who will take me under my door." This guy is going crazy ah.

Zhang Ai curled his lips and said, "Do you think cultivators are so idle? Do you still have time to worry about whether you are sincere? Stop dreaming."

"Dreams are for making, not only to make dreams, but also to turn dreams into reality." Kong Buer really said what he said, no matter whether it will come true in the end, he will not let go.

"Okay, then you do it, where do you want to go tomorrow?" Seeing that he was so stubborn, Zhang was afraid that he would be too lazy to persuade him, so he asked casually after lying down.

"I don't know, I just ran to the highest mountain. I walked all over the mountain peaks, and I always met immortals."

Afraid Zhang couldn't help it, he tried to persuade him again: "Don't you know that the Shiwan Dashan is a place where foreigners live? There is no balance between life and death with the Han people. You come to them to learn from them? Are you afraid of being killed?"

"I've thought about this question, I think, if a cultivator transcends the secular world, how can he lose the Taoism of all the people in the world who are dedicated to seeking Taoism because of the prejudice of the race? Why don't you come with me, let's apprentice together, let's go together Cultivation." Kong Buer stared at him with two big shiny eyes.

Well, you won, Zhang Afraid completely gave up the idea of ​​persuading him, closed his eyes and stopped talking.

The night passed quickly, and after dawn, Kong Buer took out a piece of dry food, broke it into two halves, and handed half to Zhang Fear: "Eat breakfast first." Then asked: "Where is there water nearby?" Zhang Fear shook his head and said nothing. , pushed the dry food back, stood up and stretched his waist, swayed his body from side to side, and then said: "Fifteen miles to the east, there is a river."

"Ah? So far?" Kong Buer sat down and said, it was too far away and he didn't want to move.

Zhang Ai followed up and said: "There is a snake den by the river, and a bear cave nearby. I advise you not to go there." Just now he scanned the surroundings with his spiritual sense. The river he mentioned is the safest one in terms of distance alone. .If you are not afraid of the distance, you can double the distance and have a water source. Of course, it will be much safer, but thirty miles?Those who climb mountains and drill forests have to go until dark.

Kong Buer shook his head, took out a water bottle from the rattan basket, opened it, took a sip carefully, and handed the water bottle over: "Drink."

Zhang was afraid to refuse with a smile: "I'm not thirsty." Kong Buer didn't believe it: "How can I not be thirsty? How can anyone not be thirsty?"

Afraid Zhang didn't explain, he moved his body a little and sat down again.Seeing his firm attitude, Kong Buer took back the kettle, plugged it, put it back into the rattan basket, and asked, "Where are you going in a while?"

Zhang Fear said: "Come out of the mountain." Kong Buer did not give up, and continued to encourage him: "Stay with me, how good it is to come with me to learn from the teacher, and how awesome it will be to be a god in the future." Zhang Fear said with a smile: "Who do you listen to?" Yes, there are gods in this world?"

Kong Buer said: "How can there be no gods? Without gods, where do the sun, moon, and stars come from? Without gods, how would mountains and rivers appear? Without gods, how would oceans and continents be divided? If there are no gods, even if there is no day and night, so what Will there be you and me?"

Zhang was afraid that he had heard a little about these legends in the market before, and later, in order to coax the children, he found a book of fairy tales to read. At the end, he didn’t know whether those stories were true or not, so he finished it as a joke. .

Let's say it's fake, what's the matter with their cultivators?Let's say it's true, even cultivators can't see the tricks of gods, so how can ordinary people see them?So just read it as a story, and don't care whether it is true or not.Hearing what Kong Buer said was true, Zhang Ai became interested: "According to you, there are gods before you and me. Do you know why gods created you and me?"

"Maybe I'm lonely." The storybook said so, although Kong Buer felt something was wrong, but he couldn't find the reason, so he had to reluctantly fool it. "Is the god lonely too? Hehe." Zhang feared with a laugh.

"Why aren't the gods lonely?" Kong Buer argued: "It's because of loneliness that the gods gather together to eat, drink and have fun, wandering here and there."

Zhang was afraid to hear it curiously: "Where did you hear that the gods are drinking and having fun, wandering around?"

"In the book, it is very detailed. There are even stories about the battle of the gods and the beginning of heaven and earth. There are many ancient books that have been handed down. You don't know?" Kong Buer said as if you were really ignorant .

"What is the battle of the gods?" Although Zhang Fear also temporarily learned some myths and stories, but after all, he did not study extensively, and he was not as specialized as Kong Buer.

"In the great war between the Gods of Creation, there was no sky, no land, and only a piece of ravioli. These gods wandered around randomly, and found that this place is good, um, it is a good place, so they wanted to build a world, but there are other things they are optimistic about. In this place, we just fight, and the fights are messy, this is the battle of the gods." Kong Buer said.

Zhang was afraid to hear that he was stupid. He has practiced for a long time, but he never thought about the origin of the world, and no one told him about it. Now this lunatic scholar said, yes, I know how I got here, But how did heaven and earth come about?

At that time, when chasing and killing the ghost emperor, I still wanted to fly up to see how high the sky was and what was beyond it. Afterwards, a lot of troubles broke out, but I forgot this idea.
