Zhang Yidao and Li Quanyi followed Brother Jiao into his tent, which was relatively simple, a wooden cart used to pull beehives was used by him as a bed for resting, and some cooking belongings were placed on the ground.

To be honest, the master and apprentice were crammed into the tent, looking a little cramped.

The old man Jiao asked the master and apprentice to sit first, and he wanted to go out and summon the bees that were collecting honey back, so that they would not be swept away by the heavy rain.

Zhang Yidao asked curiously: "Master, Uncle Jiao said that he was going to recruit bees, what is recruiting bees?"

"Have you ever heard of 'attracting bees and butterflies'?"

"I haven't heard of it. ”

"Then you can go out and have a look!"

Zhang Yidao ran to the old man Jiao, and saw him holding a wooden stick of unknown material, beating on the beehive, the sound of the wooden stick hitting the beehive was a bit like the cry of a bee, and the sound of the knocking was very rhythmic and staggered.

"Hum... Buzzing... Airplanes... Buzz... Buzzing... Buzz ......"

As the old man kept knocking, the bees that went out kept flying back, and after a while, almost all the bees that went out came back.

Zhang Yidao felt very puzzled, and didn't understand why the old man Jiao tapped the wooden stick in his hand, and the bees that went out would automatically fly back.

Zhang Yidao followed the old man Jiao back to the tent, and as soon as the two sat down, a heavy rain fell from the sky, and the rain was very urgent.

"Brother Jiao, when do you think this rain will stop?"

"Well... I can't say for sure. ”

"Oh?" Li Quanyi's tone was different from before, and he seemed to be a little unconvinced of what the old man Jiao said.

"Dao Chief, don't you know your surname?" Brother Jiao didn't stop on the topic of weather, he asked about the master and apprentice.

"My name is Li Quanyi, and this is my apprentice Zhang Yidao. ”

"Thank you, uncle, today!" said Zhang Yidao.

"Brother Jiao, it turns out that you are hiding deeply!"

When the old man Jiao heard this, he looked puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "Daochang Li, this... Where to start?"

"Brother Jiao, your hand just now 'attracts bees and butterflies', but it opened my eyes. ”

"The little skill of carving insects is not worth mentioning in front of the Dao Chief!"

"Attract bees and butterflies?" Zhang Yidao remembered that he seemed to have learned this idiom, and the teacher said that it was a curse word, how could it change its taste in the hands of Uncle Jiao.

Zhang Yidao asked, "Master, what exactly is 'attracting bees and butterflies'?"

"Brother Jiao, you tell my ignorant apprentice, in fact, I also want to know. ”

"The two Taoist masters, I don't dare to get an axe, this technique of attracting bees was also taught to me by a Taoist priest. ”

As soon as Li Quan heard what the old man Jiao said, he remembered a person. Said: "Brother Jiao, the Taoist priest who taught you the magic is a tiger's back, his eyebrows are white, and he looks like a middle-aged man?"

The old man Jiao's heart tightened, and he said, "It's exactly the same as what you said, could it be... Daochang Li knows him?"

"Did he tell him what his name was?"

Old man Jiao shook his head and said, "No, I still don't know what his name is." ”

"That's right, he's this temper, he looks like a master of the world all day long! ”

Old man Jiao and Zhang Yidao were confused, and they didn't know who Li Quanyi was talking about.

"Daoist Li, can you tell him his name?" asked the old man Jiao.

"Hahaha... He had no name, and everyone who knew him called him 'Fat Daoman'. ”

When the old man Jiao heard the 'fat Taoist man', he felt very vivid, the Taoist priest who had taught him the magic was indeed a little fat.

"Master, who are you talking about as a 'fat man'?"

"He is your uncle, and when I see him in the future, I will call him 'Uncle Fat'. ”

Zhang Yidao thought to himself that he couldn't let the fat Dao people hang up and beat, and he still couldn't listen to his master.

"Brother Jiao, tell me how the Fat Dao people taught you to attract bees and butterflies?"

Old man Jiao already knew that Li Quanyi and the Fat Dao people knew each other, so he didn't have any worries, he said: "It's not a miracle skill, it's just that some special pollen is used, plus a spell. ”

Zhang Yidao asked, "Uncle Jiao, what special pollen?"

"There is nothing special about it, just collect the five kinds of pollen of cosmos, lavender, asters, marigolds, and primroses and mix them together in a specific proportion. ”

"Brother Jiao, do you still need to use peppercorns. ”

It turned out that Li Quanyi also knew the key, and the old man Jiao no longer hid it, and said: "It is true that Sichuan pepper is used, and that wooden stick is the most important thing to attract bees and butterflies." Soak the sticks in pepper water for 100 days, and then wrap the sticks in the mixed pollen. ”

"Is that mantra taught to you by the old man Jiao called 'Six Incense Duty'?"

The old man nodded yes.

"It must be a fat man, he likes to play tricks. ”

......

The pouring rain has been falling, and there is no time to stop, and the master and apprentice are not in a hurry. Old man Jiao doesn't care, at most, he squeezes at night, and it won't get in the way anyway.

"Brother Jiao, it looks like I'm going to trouble you again tonight. ”

"Daoist Li, what are you talking about! It's getting dark, so you can stay in peace and set off tomorrow. ”

"Then bother Brother Jiao. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Jiao. ”

The old man Jiao actually likes Zhang Yidao a lot, the young man is very energetic, and he is very polite, except for the large amount of food, everything else is good.

During the night, the flood waters in the lower reaches of the Zuli River swelled.

Zhang Yidao fell asleep, Li Quanyi had been paying attention, and in the second half of the night, he heard that the old man Jiao had gone out.

Li Quan thought that it was still raining heavily, what was this old man doing when he went out.

After waiting for about half an hour, there was no figure of the old man Jiao, and Li Quan felt that something was wrong.

Hurriedly shouted Zhang Yidao, and the two put on their clothes to find the whereabouts of the old man Jiao. But it was already the middle of the night, it was still raining, and there was no light outside, so I couldn't see the road at all, let alone find someone.

"Master, I can't see anything, let's go back to sleep. Uncle Jiao is estimated to be back in a while. ”

Li Quanyi secretly scolded his apprentice for not being angry, and he knew how to eat it. "Can't you see, is the method of hope I taught you for!"

"Ahh ”

After speaking, the master and apprentice used the method of looking at qi, Zhang Yidao's double pupils turned yellow, and Li Quanyi's double pupils were maroon.

"Master, why are your night vision eyes red?"

"Don't talk nonsense, let's see if there are footprints on the ground first. ”

Zhang Yidao lowered his head and carefully scanned the surroundings, because the rain was too heavy, the old man Jiao did not leave any clues.

"Master, you said that Uncle Jiao wouldn't have been swept away by the flood, right?" Zhang Yidao looked at the flooding of the Zuli River, and couldn't help but worry about Old Man Jiao.

"Let's not talk about those who have or don't, let's look down the river. ”

The master and apprentice walked for more than ten minutes and came to the lower riverbed of the Zuli River, where the flood had submerged the roads on both sides, and the two of them could not go any further.

Standing in place, the master and apprentice carefully scanned the surroundings again, but they still found no trace of the old man.

"Alas, master, where do you say Uncle Jiao can go? All his belongings are still there, it is impossible for him to leave quietly like this, right?"

"Probably... He's in a hurry, we'll talk about it tomorrow morning. ”

Just as the two of them turned back, a man crawled out of the river, he was wet, covered in mud, and he couldn't see his specific appearance.

"Master, do you think he wants Uncle Jiao?"

"Let's go save people first!"

The master and apprentice helped the mud man up, and relying on the rain in the sky, the sludge on the mud man was washed away in a while.

"Master, it's really Uncle Jiao! Why did he faint?"

"You ask me, I'll ask who is going! ”

The old man Jiao was lying on the wooden bed of the tent, he was stripped of only his underwear by Li Quanyi, Zhang Yidao was frightened by the old man Jiao, the old man Jiao was covered with wounds, there were old injuries and new injuries, the new wounds were bleeding out at this time, or if the bleeding was not stopped in time, it was estimated that it was a little hanging.

Li Quanyi asked Zhang Yidao to quickly make a fire and boil a pot of boiling water, and he braved the rain to go outside to find some herbs to stop bleeding, such as white root, arborvitae leaves, white grass roots, squid bones, etc.

When Zhang Yidao was lighting a fire, he heard the old man Jiao behind him talking, and the old man Jiao was saying, "Xiaodao Chief, you go to the second beehive outside and bring in a crockpot hidden under the beehive." ”

didn't bother to ask the old man Jiao what the reason was, Zhang Yidao thought that the seriously injured old man Jiao was going to explain the future to him, so he went to find the crockpot as instructed.

After Zhang Yidao took the clay pot back, the old man said weakly: "Xiaodao Chief, you first smear some honey on my wound." ”

After wiping the honey, Zhang Weidao asked, "Uncle Jiao, what do you do next?"

"Apply the secret medicine in the clay pot to the wound, and the trouble will be long. ”

"Secret medicine?" After Zhang Yidao opened the crockpot, he did smell a smell of medicine.

When applying the secret medicine, the old man Jiao had a headache and sweated, but he didn't cry out in pain, and told Zhang Yidao to just apply the medicine and leave him alone.

After applying the secret medicine in the clay pot, the old man fell asleep again.

Li Quanyi hurriedly took a handful of herbs and came back, and said, "Zhang Yidao, has the old man Jiao woken up?"

Zhang Yidao told the master in detail what he had just done, and handed him the old man's crockpot.

Li Quan sniffed the secret medicine and said, "This... How could old man Jiao have such a thing?"

"Master, what's in this crockpot?"

"Good boy, just ask Old Man Jiao in detail tomorrow. ”
