Chapter 148 [Master and apprentice plant trees together]
Looking at Liu Aniu who was looking at the moon with emotion, Fang Chang smiled and said: "What about you, why do you like to look at the moon?"
A Niu turned over and lay down in the posture common to cattle, looking at Fang Chang. But in this posture, he couldn't look up to see the moon, so A Niuweng said in a low voice:
"Ah Huang told me that my eyes are very round, just like the moon."
"Later when I drank water, I deliberately looked at the surface of the water. My two bull's eyes were indeed round, like two bright moons. So it didn't take long for me to fall in love with the moon."
“Besides, many beautiful things are round, such as the mouth of water tanks, wheels, biscuits, beans… So in my perception, circle seems to be a very beautiful thing.”
Fang Chang smiled secretly, if Liu Changqing's family members woke up at night and heard the animals whispering, they would probably be terrified.
He lamented again, that family is really blessed, the two close beasts in the courtyard became monsters, at least the last catastrophe was wiped out by Liu Ahuang and Liu Aniu.
Looking at A Niu in front of him, Fang Chang suddenly thought that this cow demon is very intelligent, and he is very destined to be with him.
On a whim, he said to A Niu:
"Liu A Niu, I want to take a registered student, are you interested?"
There is no need to hint or be polite, since Fang Chang thought so in his heart, he told the bull demon about this easily and concisely, very sincerely and straightforwardly.
A Niu was stunned for a moment, as if he was trying to understand the sentence, and then he was overjoyed, and bounced excitedly from the ground, his hooves were half a foot off the ground.
"I... I am willing!" The bull demon used all four hooves, quickly ran in front of Fang Chang, knelt down and said, "Master, please accept my disciple's bow!"
"There is no need to be too polite."
Fang Chang stretched out his hand slightly, and before the bull demon fell to his knees on the ground, he felt a gentle force coming from him, and straightened himself upright again.
He leaned on the recliner and said to the cow demon in front of him:
"A Niu, since you agreed, from now on, you will be the first registered disciple of my Xianqiya. You can also report your name when you go out."
"Thank you, Master, for your kindness. A Niu will never die to repay his kindness."
The cow demon was very excited, he knew the situation very well in his heart, although under normal circumstances, registered disciples could only get some pointers occasionally, and might not necessarily be passed down the skills and techniques, but from then on, he could be regarded as a follower monster.
This is a great benefit on the road of practice.
Teacher and footsteps are not necessarily important to humans, but to monsters, it means one's own background and behavior. A practitioner who is willing to endorse is a treasure that is hard to change.
With these, you will not be beaten and killed for no reason by the legendary practitioner who likes to slay demons.
For example, when someone came to subdue a demon, the monster suddenly said: "Stop! I am the registered disciple of a certain real person from such and such a mountain", and the opponent would stop, thus escaping his life.
And through this reason, you can talk about friendship, and then turn from enemies to comrades, and then get to know each other, and finally become "friends who have met once."
So for Yokai, it's the ticket, it's the talisman.
...
…
The next morning, Ah Niu was very tired.
Under the excitement, even though Ah Niu is a tyrannical monster with a small success in cultivation and has already refined his bones, he still suffers from insomnia. Moreover, the insomnia came very quickly this time, and even the monsters with extraordinary physique were greatly affected.
However, he still came to Fang Chang to wait here, ready to listen to the arrangements and teachings.
A Niu shook his head and said: "Master, A Niu is fine, it's just that yesterday he suddenly had a master, he was too excited, and wasted his mind by thinking wildly."
Take Ah Niu to the kitchen, take out two steamed sweet potatoes from the cauldron, throw one to Ah Niu, Fang Chang said:
"Daily food, you have to figure out your own way. I can't afford it here temporarily, but the products in the cloud mountain are abundant, and there is no shortage of food for you."
A Niu nodded and answered naturally:
"Naturally, you don't need to bother the master. As usual, the disciple can solve it by himself."
After breakfast for one person and one cow, Fang Chang threw a descaling spell on himself and A Niu respectively, and then said: "Seeing that you have nothing to do today, why don't you come with me to plant trees."
"Disciple obeys." A Niu looked very well-behaved, but he still couldn't help asking: "Why does Master want to plant trees?"
Fang Chang approached the shed and began to prepare tools: "It's spring, it's a good time to plant trees."
He connected the two baskets with a short rope and hung them on A Niu’s back, then he carried a shovel and said with a smile:
"The way to be a teacher is 'natural'. Although it may not be suitable for you, but knowing more about it will be of some benefit to your future practice."
"I cook and burn charcoal on the cliff, build a kiln to smelt copper, and consume a lot of wood, so there are many open spaces in the forest. If this continues, one day, this fairy cliff will become bare."
"So, planting some saplings in the spring when all things are growing can be regarded as a feedback and return to this mountain and river. As for the reason for this, it's good for you to understand it yourself. Only what you realize personally is your own. "
A Niu nodded: "I obey."
He did not expect that, as a registered disciple, he would receive such high treatment.
Looking at the posture of the master, even if it is a direct disciple, it will not be much better than this. Perhaps this is the benefit of the first named disciple.
A Niu cheerfully followed Fang Chang to the forest on the cliff.
Fang Chang took the newly emerging tree buds, identified the species, and dug them together with the surrounding soil with a bronze shovel, and put them in the basket behind A Niu.
for several days.
In this process, he paid great attention to solving the problem of resource conflicts among different trees in the original forest, especially their competition for light.
After adjusting the square length, in the newly replanted tree area, different tree species are in different positions according to their habits, which is very reasonable.
A Niu saw some ways, and praised secretly in his heart: My master is really far beyond ordinary people, even if I plant a tree, it seems to contain the principles of Tao.
"Let's go to the root of the cliff."
Fang Chang took Ah Niu, a bronze spade, and a bamboo basket, and made a long detour, heading straight for the root of Xianqi Cliff.
After all, although Ah Niu is stronger than himself, but his body is fragile, he can't use the "shortest path down the mountain method".
The tree planting work is not tiring these days, A Niu is doing very well, and even feels that such a fulfilling day is much more comfortable than the previous days when he was basking in the sun with his feet up.
Master gave orders, but Ah Niu never questioned them, at most he asked a sentence or two.
The small pool under the cliff is rattled by the waterfall, which is full of vitality. The fish and turtles that Fang Chang put down before had no shortage of food in them, and they were alive and well, and as the temperature rose, they also regained their vigor.
The surrounding plants also turned green again, full of vitality.
"This is the waterfall formed by the Huanhua River above, forming a small pool. The exit leads directly to the Baigou River below the mountain. The waterfall and the pool have not yet been named by the teacher... Next, we will plant a few more trees here Tree."
I recommend the book "Sword God: The Unique Rivers and Lakes" written by this group of friends, the sword **** was not born to me, and the chivalry will last forever. Wherever I go, no matter the rivers and lakes or courts, I am terrified by the news.
