Chapter 23 In the vast world, Shinto is alone

Now I have a good time. At noon, Liu Daode personally started and made a roasted hare take-out grilled fish.

Nowadays, the few people admire him very much and think he can do everything.

If it weren't for Liu Daode, they would have to drink mineral water and eat bread and biscuits at noon today.

First, peel the hare and break the intestines and break the belly, clean it, then put it on the fire and grill it slowly. Then Liu Daode prepared the crucian carp skewers, and everyone taught them how to make grilled fish.

When he smelled the aroma of meat, he opened the cloth, took out the bamboo tube containing seasonings from it, and sprinkled it at the rabbit meat grilled fish.

"It's delicious!" After the crucian carp was roasted, Zhou Bo didn't care about burning his mouth. He was the first to taste it, and then extended his thumb.

The firewood used to make the fire is a dry pine branch that Liu Daode deliberately cut. It contains oil and is easy to ignite. Moreover, after being smoked and roasted, the pine branch will emit a faint rosin, and even the fish tastes scent, which is very unique.

Next, the girls stopped talking about the image of a lady and ate it with branches. In just over ten minutes, the roasted crucian carp was wiped out by them.

Everyone felt that they were not full and their stomachs were still empty, so they all turned their eyes to the roasted hare above the fire.

Now the hare's body surface is golden and sizzling with grease, looking extremely attractive.

Lin Xiaotong couldn't help but lick her lips and asked, "This should be almost the same, right?"

"Yeah, let's take a look." Liu Daode poked a few times with a knife, and felt that it was OK, so he cut off one of his hind legs and gave it to today's heroes... the general.

Then, the hare was divided into six large pieces, one piece for each person. As for the rabbit head, it was still considered the general.

Only after eating and drinking enough can everyone hide in the shade of the trees to rest.

Of course, they learned from the lessons of the morning and looked carefully before sitting down. There were no small animals on the ground.

"This is the best barbecue meal I have ever had. Brother Liu, you have lived a very comfortable life. If you want to eat any wild game, just ask the general to help you catch it. It is simply a bourgeois enjoyment." Su Qing sighed a little, "Now I want to change it with you and live in the countryside. There are green mountains and clear waters, no car exhaust, and no busy urban rhythm. Don't rush to find a job... I have land at home, just be a landlord."

"Haha, I have my own way of living, what's there to envy? I really want to live in Liu Village, Hedong for half a year, facing you every day, without a computer or a mobile phone, watching TV, with only a few small stations, all selling medicine advertisements. Do you still feel free and comfortable?" Liu Daode asked back.

"That's right, if I don't let the computer play for three days, I feel like I'm going crazy." Su Qingshen nodded with consent, and then asked curiously: "However, why aren't you upset? It would be so boring to repeat the same life every day. The outside world is very exciting. I noticed that many young people in rural areas are going out to work now..."

"I? I haven't felt annoyed yet, but I will definitely go out for a walk in the future. Maybe I will go to the city in a while to see the prosperity of the big city." Liu Daode replied seriously.

"Welcome, you must call us when you go to the city." Lin Xiaotong and others said one after another.

After half a day of getting along, they all thought that Liu Daode was a good person and worth dating, and they already treated him as a friend in their hearts.

After resting under the tree for a while, Zhou Bo took out another deck of playing cards.

It was not until after three o'clock that a few people came out of the mountain swaying.

When he got home and sent a few people away, Liu Daode continued to be busy in the yard.

There was still a tail left in the melon field, so he tried to pull it out this afternoon. He squatted in the field for half an hour, pulled out a large basket of weeds, and poured them all into the backyard to feed the chickens.

Seeing that the chicken manure in the chicken cage was piled up quite thickly, Liu Daode remembered that one day he had not cleaned it. He took two manure baskets from the front yard and cleaned the chicken manure.

Then, he went to the place where the black feathered hens hatched eggs and saw that there were more than a dozen chicks, and only four or five eggs had not been hatched. It is estimated that tomorrow, the old hen will lead the chickens around the yard.

After being busy, it was already dark. As usual, cooking and eating... When I came back to the peach tree, the moon was full.

Liu Daode did not practice tonight, but stood under the peach tree and looked into the distance.

The moonlight is as soft as satin, and it is soft and scattered, covering the green mountains in the distance and the green trees in the nearest.

Like smoke, like fog, like dreams and fantasy.

The croaking frogs, the flickering fireflies, occasionally mixed with the barking of dogs in the village, the night wind brings coolness, and the river flows... Apart from that, there is no movement.

The whole earth was silent under the moonlight, as if there was no one.

At this moment, Liu Daode felt boundless loneliness in his heart. In fact, the conversation with Su Qing in the afternoon suddenly made him feel indescribable mania.

Loneliness is not because he obtained the land edict and has a secret from then on. But Su Qing's words, like a stone, alarmed Liu Daode's calm water surface, and suddenly became confused.

What is the purpose of my practice? I have been like this all the time, are I annoyed?

Liu Daode has been suppressing during the day. Until now, there is no one anymore, and a little loneliness appears on his face.

It is said that since he obtained the talisman and embarked on the path of spiritual practice, Liu Daode's mind and nature have changed unknowingly. He sat and watched the changes in the world around him every day and felt all things.

My views on all things in the world are gradually getting farther and farther away from ordinary people. While I am alienating from ordinary people, ordinary people are also alienating from them.

The road ahead is long. How long is it? Where is the end?

In the vast divine way, one person walks alone. No companions follow him, and no one tells himself the answer. The truth that he originally thought was understood was broken by Su Qing's words.

Liu Daode discovered that suddenly, he could not find his true intention!!

Before he knew it, he had been standing under the peach tree for the middle of the night. He had thoughts in his mind, but there was no answer.

The general did not know about the situation like this of the master, and he was still lying on the ground, squinting his eyes to sleep.

On the contrary, the foodie had a keen sense of six senses. She noticed the abnormal mood swing of the owner. She suddenly flapped her wings, jumped with the help of a stone bench, flew onto the stone table, and cooed.

Until now, it has not learned to fly.

Upset, Liu Daode came to his senses and turned around and sat down.

The foodie's wings flapped again, and suddenly fell into the owner's arms, rubbing his head in his hand, as if comforting him.

"Hey, I'm really attached to the appearance. Why do I have to find the answer tonight? If I can't find it, don't look for it for the time being. At least, there are foodies and generals on the road to cultivation." Liu Daode sighed, greeted the general, turned around and went back to the house to sleep.

He was open-minded, but he knew in his heart that he was confused and had doubts about what he had insisted on for a long time.

If we compare the practice of the Divine Way to the three realms of life: seeing the mountain as a mountain, seeing the water as water; the mountain is not a mountain, the water is not water; the mountain is still a mountain, the water is still water.

Then my previous practice should be the first level. Now, I see that the mountains are not mountains, and that the water is not water?

I don’t know if I can understand this way, but with questions, Liu Daode slowly fell asleep.
Chapter completed!
