3. Touching God 1
In a daze, he walked to an open grassland. On the opposite side of the grassland, there was a rock standing on a gentle slope. The passers-by could see the gray stone wall that had been peeled off by the wind and rain at a glance. Some places on both sides of the rock were covered by ivy, and there were also places where oak trees and holly grew. The roots grew in the gaps of the rock and absorbed nutrients from there. The trees swayed on the cliff like the feathers on a warrior's helmet, adding some charm to the grim and terrible cliff. He panted and felt restless. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. A path paved with seven-colored stones extended in the forest. Hundun 'er found it strange and ran along the path paved with seven-colored stones. On the way, he met a white-bearded old man and a large green bull. The old man was a white-bearded, hearty, and serene old man. Oh, this old man riding a green bull, could it be Grand Supreme Elder? The mixed director remembered the story of the Taishang Laojun descending from the sky. It was said that in Journey to the West, the Green Bull Monster had a strange circle that could take away everyone's weapons. Sun Wukong had no choice but to look for Taishang Laojun. With the help of the power of the banana fan, Sun Wukong subdued the Green Bull Monster and safely passed through Jindou Cave. But how did this green bull become Grand Supreme Elder's mount? This was a legend! Lao Tzu (about 600- 500 B.C.) was a philosopher during the Spring and Autumn Period and the founder of Taoism. It was the Taishang Laojun in Taoist mythology. Before Taishang Laojun became an immortal, he was respectfully called Laozi by people. His real name was Laozi Li.
It was said that this happened when Grand Supreme Elder Jun was eight or nine years old. At that time, a group of monsters suddenly appeared on a mountain south of Taiqing Palace. This monster looked like an elephant. It was not as long as an elephant's trunk. Its mouth was as big as a bowl, its two horns were long, and its two eyes were like copper bells. It was called a tiger and wolf. People called it the Divine Cow. This Divine Cow was very ferocious. It bit everything it saw and ate people. Even lions and tigers had nowhere to hide. Not long after, the mountain was almost completely cut off by them.
One day, Taishang Laojun and the two children of the village hid from the adults and mowed the grass at the foot of Nanshan Hill. After a while, the two of them filled the basket. Seeing that it was still early, the two of them started playing games. Erzi stuck the sickle into the ground. Old Lord Li and Erzi stood in the distance, using Old Lord Li's Universe Ring (the name he gave his bracelet) to put on the sickle. If you hit the net, you win. If you don't hit the net, you lose. Whoever lost would crawl around the handle of the sickle three times. The two of them were playing happily when suddenly, a moo sounded. A divine cow rushed down from the mountain and pounced on them. When Old Li saw the cow, he was so angry that he was furious. Ever since this beast appeared, it had been up to no good. It disturbed the neighbors and hurt the people. Today, he had to show it to them. He shouted to Erzi,"Go, catch it."”As he spoke, he picked up his sickle and charged at the bull. Erzi wasn't a pushover either. When he heard Elder Jun's shout, he also picked up his sickle and ran after him. The cow would run for its life whenever it came into contact with anything that was alive. Now that it saw the two children not running away but running towards it with their sickles, it felt that something was wrong. However, it had to eat the fat meat that was in its mouth. It glared at him and ran even more fiercely. The bull jumped and scuttled as it approached and lowered its head. With a fierce leap, he wanted to kill them. Lao Zi and the other two quickly squatted down, and the cow was rushing over their heads. Lao Zi saw the bull's imposing manner and thought to himself,"Let's give it some power first and kill its prestige." Then, he stood up abruptly, raised his scythe, and slashed at the bull's butt. The cow jumped up in pain, and only the handle of the sickle was exposed on its butt. The cow couldn't be bothered to eat them anymore. It ran up the mountain. When the two of them saw that the cow had run away, they became even more excited. They shouted and chased after the cow up the mountain. The cow ran halfway up the hill and entered a large hole. Old Lord Li and Erzi were about to go into the cave and grab a hold of it when a sudden roar shook the hillside. Along with the roar, a green bull rushed out of the cave. Obediently, it was half the size of the cow from before. It had a big head, a big mouth, and big hooves. It looked like a tiger in its stomach. The two horns on its head stretched forward, only the length of an arm. It looked like it was the leader of the cave. It dashed out of the cave and stood on the hillside. When it saw that it was two children, it was so angry that it flew into a rage and showed them its might. How fierce! It lowered its head and stuck out its tongue to lick the grassy ground. With a "Chi La" sound, the place where its tongue passed was completely clean. Even the ground was licked up by it for more than half a foot. It thought to itself,"Ever since I took over the mountain and became king, I've never suffered any losses. Today, I was taken advantage of by you two children. I've lost my dignity. Watch how I deal with you two." It let out a loud cry and pounced on them like a hungry tiger. When Old Lord Li saw the big green bull pounce over like a madman, he thought,"If he didn't subdue the big green bull, the people here wouldn't have a good life in the future. He had to subdue the big green bull.
Before he could think of a way to subdue the big green bull, the bull had already scuttled to Erzi's side and lowered its head towards Erzi. Erzi didn't panic and hugged the front legs of the great green bull. When the big green bull saw that its leg was being hugged, it opened its mouth anxiously and bit Erzi. Seeing this, Old Lord rushed up and aimed the Universe Ring in his hand at the big green bull's upper teeth. With a crack, the big green bull's upper row of teeth was smashed off. The big green bull was ashamed and angry. It suddenly turned its body sideways and knocked the old man to the ground. It lowered its head and stuck out its tongue. With a "Hu Chi" sound, it wrapped Erzi into its stomach. When Lao Zi saw that his two sons were wrapped in the old bull's stomach, he was so angry that anger rose from his heart and strength rose from his bones.
At this moment, the great green bull was rushing in front of him with its head lowered and its back bent. He suddenly stood up, grabbed the bull horns, and rode on the bull's back. He used his legs to clamp the bull's back tightly, grabbed the two bull horns with both hands, and moved them backward with all his might. In an instant, the bull moved the bull horns over. The great green bull jumped around wildly, trying to throw Lao Zi off its back. Lao Zi took off the Heaven and Earth Ring, broke it with force, and firmly pierced through the cow's nose. This time, the great green bull was much more obedient.
Lao Zi jumped off the cow's back, picked up Erzi's sickle, and cut the cow's hoof in half. The big green bull was completely obedient. Er Er was still in the cow's stomach. Old Lord held the big green bull's stomach and squeezed out all the things in its stomach. Erzi also came out. Because he had just been swallowed, his muscles and bones were not injured. He woke up in a short while. However, the great green bull had suffered a lot. It always had to pour out the food it had eaten and chew it again. When Lao Zi saw that his two sons had woken up, he and his two sons rode on the big green bull and went down the mountain happily. After walking for a short while, Lao Zi realized that there was a herd of cows of all sizes following behind him. It turned out that when these cows saw that the cow had been subdued by Lao Zi, he obediently followed down. Lao Zi went down the mountain and chased them to a grassland on the east side of the village. Since then, he had been there to train the cows. He treated the cows that came with him the same way he treated the big green cows. He only allowed them to eat grass and taught them to pull plows and carts. He gave the domesticated cattle to the villagers for use. The recollection of this legend added some interest to him. Was it him? However, he felt that it was very strange. Look at that white-bearded old man, who was removing pieces of Rainbow Stones from the back of the big green cow. Then, he placed the Rainbow Stones into a boiling pot to smelt them. Seeing the mixed chairman running over, the big green bull raised its head and sneezed.""Mu-Mu, doll, why are you here? It's getting dark. It's very dangerous to be out alone. Hurry up and go home!”This was clearly the voice of the great green bull. Hundun 'er was frightened. How could a cow talk like a human in this world?!
"Don't be afraid! This Great Green Ox was the Ox Deity of the heavens. He was very capable. Look-these are the stones used by Nüwa to mend the sky. Niu Xian and I are using them to pave a road from the human world to heaven!”The white-bearded old man spoke.
"Pave the way? That bitter and tiring thing. How boring!" The mixed director pursed his lips." Besides, I'm afraid that the monkeys won't have a tail when the road is paved! I don't have the patience."
"Heh heh, you little brat," the white-bearded old man said angrily."You're so afraid of hardship at such a young age. Isn't it said that you'll rise to the top if you suffer the most hardship?"-- Oh, oh, there was also 'as long as one's kung fu is deep, an iron rod can be ground into a needle'. It's about the great poet Li Bai, right? Did you know?"
"Li Bai?" The mixed director scratched his head." Oh, the teacher seemed to have mentioned it before, but I forgot."”He was a little embarrassed, and his face was a little red.
"Forgotten? But it doesn't matter. As long as you work hard, you will definitely become a promising child!”the white-bearded old man encouraged.
"Well said, Immortal Weng! This was just like paving a road. As long as one was not afraid of hardship, tiredness, or difficulties, they would definitely be able to pave a seven-colored road to the heavens!”Ox Immortal echoed," Baby, go back! Parents, teachers, and students are looking for you. Everyone is worried about you. As long as you admit your mistakes to them and learn from them, everyone will forgive you!”
The mixed chairman felt that their words were extremely right. Just as he was about to nod, the voice of the seven-headed bug sounded in his ear,"Idiot! Don't listen to their nonsense. They must have colluded with the adults to trick you back. Quickly cover your ears!" The mixed chairman hurriedly covered his ears and shook his head as he shouted,"No! He just won't listen!"
" You child--" The white-bearded immortal was so angry that his beard was trembling. He couldn't even speak anymore. Just as Chairman Hun was about to turn around and run away, Niu Xian said,""Doll-wait!" He spat out a bead the size of a soybean that was shimmering with golden light." This is called the Bezoar Pearl. It's my personal treasure." Come, put it on your forehead. If you encounter any danger, just pat it with your hand. Immortal Father and I will come to help you at any time.”The mixed chairman was skeptical and stood there without moving. The pearl had already turned into a golden light and flew up. A red mole immediately appeared on his forehead. Wantou said," Dong Hun is really awesome. The foolish old man was moved by the gods to move the mountains. You are moved by God to come down to find people."”"Shut up! Hurry up and hurry up. Be careful not to let the school know that the old man is a god.”
After leaving Immortal White Beard and Immortal Ox, Dong Hun walked for a long time. Suddenly, he heard a small voice calling him,""Buzz, buzz, buzz. Brother Chao, where are you going?”Hundun 'er looked around in surprise, but there was no one…
