Chapter 147 [Meeting the moon on the cliff and thinking about old friends]
The young man Hu Yun was sitting there beside him, eating nuts, watching the two play chess and chatting.
At this time, Fang Chang turned the topic to the little fox and asked:
"Hu Yun, what do you want to do when you go down the mountain?"
This question is a bit difficult, Hu Yun stopped eating nuts, confessed his sins and thought for a while before saying: "I have never been to the human world, it is really hard to imagine, what can be done there, do you have any suggestions, sir? "
Looking at Hu Yun's sincerity, Fang Chang said with a smile:
"I do have some ideas, but I haven't decided yet... Are you literate?"
Hu Yun replied:
"I only know a hundred or ten characters, because my grandfather didn't know much, and I learned even less."
"I see." Fang Chang nodded, but did not tell Hu Yun his plan, "I will help you arrange it later."
"Thank you, Mr. Fang." Hu Yun was overjoyed, and stood up to salute.
"Sit down, we are all mountain travelers, don't be too polite, and it's not a big deal." Fang Chang waved his hand, not paying much attention to this.
The three chatted for a while, and as they got to know each other better, Hu Yun gradually let go.
The nuts in the bamboo chamber were eaten up by the three of them together, but Zhang Shanshen mentioned his chestnuts again:
"I have learned a new method, which is to stir-fry chestnuts with sugar. It is said that it will be delicious, but I haven't tried it yet. I will make some for my husband to try in autumn."
"In the past, I would have never dared to boast like this. At that time, I couldn't do it, because it was not like today's offerings are abundant, materials are abundant, and there is no powdered sugar."
"Haha, that's not bad." Fang Chang responded with a smile.
Zhang Shanshen, who has grown wider, feels different. He speaks more energetically, and he and Fang Chang have become friends, so he is not as stiff as before.
During this period of time, the reputation of the small temple of the mountain **** in Yunzhong Mountain has been completely spread.
Many pedestrians will go together when they pass by the official road. In front of the half-person-high small temple halfway up the mountain, they will simply offer sacrifices and offer two sticks of incense.
Whether they are strong or not, and whether they have extra money or not, these people who come to offer incense will bring some offerings to them—most of them are their lunches on the way, and they can eat them after offering offerings.
After the incense became strong, Zhang Shanshen's physique has also become stronger, and his cultivation base has increased a bit.
Beside Hu Yun suddenly asked:
"Mr. Fang, you mentioned before that there is a monkey monster named 'Yun' like me. How is he doing now?"
"You're talking about Sun Yun." Fang Chang said with a smile: "He is living a very good life in the world now. He has learned a craft, saved money, and has many friends. He is very happy every day. But Sun Yunxiu is moving forward. The environment is not as good as yours, and it has not yet transformed, and it seems that there is no chance of transforming in a short time."
Regarding Fang Chang's description, the little fox demon's eyes were full of longing, he couldn't imagine what that kind of life would be like.
"Sounds really good. If you have the opportunity, you must get to know this big brother Sun Yun."
It seems that although the life in the mountains is quiet and peaceful, it can no longer hold on to the restless heart of the young monster.
It was not until the sun slanted westward that Zhang Shanshen was satisfied and took Hu Yun to prepare to leave:
"Today, after eight or nine rounds in a row, I finally made a move. I will leave now."
Fang Chang stacked the two chess baskets he had put away, got up and said, "You two go slowly, it's still early for me to go down the mountain, maybe..." He pinched his fingers and calculated, "It will take more than half a year before I go down the mountain again , I will notify Zhang Shanshen at that time, Hu Yun, you just make arrangements in advance."
The little fox nodded obediently: "I will start preparing my luggage when I go back today."
"good."
Beside Zhang Chun smiled and said:
"Today, I still lose more than I win. It seems that my level is still far behind, but compared to before, I have indeed made a lot of progress."
"When I go back, I will go to that old friend and ask him to buy a few chess books for him. It is also a pastime to read when I have nothing to do."
It's getting late, but he doesn't feel hungry, so he'll figure out something new to eat later.
You can sharpen the board for a while, now that you have all the tools, Fang Chang plans to add two cabinets and shelves to his room to store some clothes and sundries.
...
…
The moonlight on Xianqi Cliff is always more beautiful than other places Fang Chang has seen.
Sitting on the recliner, he was reading a book by the moonlight.
Currently, he only has three books in his hand, which are "The Way of Practice", "The Method of Practice" and "Miscellaneous Notes on Geography, Mountains and Rivers" given to him by the mountain **** Zhang Chun.
What he is reading now is "The Way of Practice".
It is not to repel mosquitoes. There are not many mosquitoes flying around in this season, and it is not noisy.
This "Cultivation Path" is thinner than the other two books in his hand, but Fang Chang will have new insights every time he reads it, and his understanding of practice will be more sophisticated.
As far as Fang Chang's eyesight is concerned, reading under the moon is no different from reading under the sun during the day, and the writing on the pages is very clear.
Moreover, the night mist as thin as a veil, combined with the hazy moonlight, looks even quieter.
Closing the last page of the book, Fang Chang took a deep breath.
He leaned back, lay gently on the back of the chair, held the back of his head with his hands, and looked at the moon in the sky.
Bright and clean, silvery white.
Compared with the moon in the previous life, it is generally the same, but brighter. The moonlight was bright and covered by mist, making the stars in the sky look a little sparse.
Fang Chang stretched out his hand, took the wine gourd on the stone table next to him, and took a sip with his head up.
Xian Qiya currently doesn't have the ability to make wine, and his sorghum stock is also insufficient, so he should drink sparingly.
After all, too little to withstand consumption.
It's a pity that the group of monkeys Sun Yun was born in in the nearby forest didn't know how to brew monkey wine.
Sow another season this year, and when it’s harvested in autumn, maybe you can start thinking about how to make sorghum wine. Moreover, Fang Chang thought, when the fruits are ripe in autumn, he can make some fruit wine by himself. It is not a problem that it is easy to be poisonous. Since he is strong, he is not afraid of the methanol produced by pectin, as long as it tastes good.
Looking at the cliff not far away, Ah Niu was also lying there.
But at this time, the cow demon did not use the posture of facing the sky with all four feet, but in a more humane manner, lying sideways, half lying down.
Just because the joints are different from humans, it uses a very weird posture that humans can never do, propping its head on its front knees.
Seeing that Liu Aniu was also looking up at the sky, and his eyes seemed to stay on the famous moon in the sky, Fang Chang smiled and said:
"A Niu, do you also look at the moon?"
It was very quiet on Xianqi Cliff, and the sound could be heard far away.
It took a few breaths for Ah Niu to realize that Fang Xianchang was talking to himself, and he quickly said: "Yes, Xianchang, I am looking at the moon... I miss Ah Huang a little bit."
Resuming the half-lying half-lying posture, Ah Niu looked at the moon in the sky and said:
"I don't know if Ah Huang is doing well. At this moment... whether he is still lying in the yard as usual, looking at the moon in front of the firewood pile."
"He likes the moon very much, saying that it is softer than the sun, not dazzling, and looks more beautiful."
Fang Chang nodded.
For most animals, looking up at the moon is a very difficult action. Fortunately, Ah Niu and Ah Huang have become smart and can do this.
It's a little bit Calvin, a little bit late.
