Chapter 18: A Pair of Men Two Goblins
Outside the gate of the Tan family's wooden store, a four-wheeled carriage was already parked.
Hu San was wrapping the bridle for the jujube red horse, and when he saw the two of them coming out, he said, "The eldest prince, the carriage is ready." ”
"It's been a great job. By the way, in the past three days, I am afraid that I will not be able to go to Wangchenggang Yizhuang, so I will ask the third uncle to report to Brother Mei first, and say that I will go there again after three days. As he spoke, Bunji took the reins in his hand.
"The eldest prince can't go to Wangchenggang Yizhuang, can you ask the second son to go instead. Hu San asked.
"No need, this matter has always been handled by me, Wen Ji is not familiar with the process, and he is dedicated to reading the scriptures, so try not to disturb him if you can. In the past few days, Mu Xingli still hopes that the third uncle will put more thought into it. After Wen Ji Shili asked, he got into the carriage and drove in front of the carriage, "Sister Yan Ling, let's go." ”
"Brother Kiki, look at it...... There are many boats on the river, how much fun! Let's take a boat together, shall we?" Yan Ling stood behind the carriage and suddenly saw the boats coming and going on the Shuiyang River not far away, and couldn't help but cheer.
"The waterway is not too safe, and the dry road is a little farther away, but it is safer. Wenji said.
"Alright then, listen to Brother Kiki. Yan Ling said, hunched over and got into the carriage, sat down in front, lifted the curtain in front of the canopy, and could clearly see Wenji's back.
"Sister Yan Ling, sit firmly, I'm going to drive!" Wen Ji's words fell, and he shook the horsewhip, and the whip sounded crisply, resounding through the four fields.
The jujube red horse neighed, spread its hooves, scooped up a burst of mud chips, and ran away from the Tan family's wooden line.
In a short time, the carriage galloped out of the eastern suburbs of Wanling County, and galloped on the plain road, with gusts of wind whistling by, and the idyllic scenery on both sides of the road flew backwards like electricity.
Yan Ling sat in the carriage and was not excited, asking questions and chattering, endlessly. Wenji answers all questions and is very serious.
"Brother Ji Ji: That Wangcheng Gang Yizhuang, do you have to go to Brother Ji Ji? We have arrived in Wuhu, how good it would be to play for a few more days!" Wen Ji entrusted Hu San, Yan Ling completely remembered in his heart.
"Sister Yan Ling, you don't know: that Wangchenggang Yizhuang has a special meaning to my Tan family. ”
"What's the special significance?"
"Back then, my mother was shipwrecked in Wangchenggang Yizhuang, and was later met by my grandfather Ao Xianggong, which led to the marriage of my mother and father. At that time, my grandfather unfortunately fell seriously ill and died, and my grandfather bought a piece of land near the Shuiyang River and buried my grandfather. Thinking of this kindness, my mother enshrined the Bodhisattva of the land next to the Wangcheng Gangyi Village. Every year during the Qingming Festival, when I came to visit my grandfather's grave, I had to go to offer incense and give some rice porridge to beggars nearby. ”
"I see. Yan Ling was deeply moved.
"When my mother got older, I took over. I was going to go today, but I couldn't go, so I had to ask the third uncle to inform Uncle Mei first, so as not to lose his trust. Wen Ji said.
"Brother Kiki, if you have any other stories, just tell them to me. Yan Ling asked.
"I have a story somewhere, but I heard from my father that my grandfather had a relationship with a goddess named the Nine Heavens Xuannu. Back then, my grandfather was released into the city, and on the way he encountered robbers and killed dozens of fellow villagers. However, because of this, my family also eliminated the afterglow of my ancestors for 400 years, and my grandfather also lost 20 years of yang life and died early in the prime of life. ”
"Really?"
"This is what the third uncle told me personally, and my grandfather's remains are still enshrined in the Chaotian Cave of Xuefeng Mountain, of course I believe it. ”
"Brother Kiki believes, and Yan Ling believes. Yan Ling leaned on the cloth window, looking sweetly at Wenji's back.
And the third uncle also said: Nine days is a little like that goddess and immortal. My father often received a dream from my grandfather, saying, "Nine days will not hurt our family." Later, I got a strange illness, and every time she came to help me. ”
"Hmph! How can Jiutian be that goddess fairy? She is so vicious, and she killed my parents! Brother Kiki, you remember: don't face that demon girl in front of me in the future, otherwise I will be unhappy. Yan Ling pouted unhappily.
"Good, good...... Don't talk about the goddess fairy, let's talk about Sister Yan Ling. Sister Yan Ling, what interesting things do you have in Lishan, let's talk about it, brother. Seeing that Yan Ling was angry, Wen Ji hurriedly changed the topic.
"Speaking of me......" Yan Ling suddenly changed his unhappy color, and said with a peachy face, "That's three days and three nights that can't be finished." ”
So Yan Ling started from the age of three in the depths of his memory, and talked carefully from beginning to end about the apprenticeship in Lishan, the foundation building of the Swallowing Dan, the practice of martial arts in the Xishan Rock Peak, the opening of the bones of Yuhuatai to take the Yin Yuan, and the refining of the Flying Shadow Knife.
Wenji listened carefully as he rode forward, sometimes laughing happily.
A carriage and a pair of beautiful people happily traveled through the sunny mountains and rivers.
The southern part of Wanling County • the top of the Flagpole Ridge.
When Wen Ji and Yan Ling were talking about Jiutian, Jiutian was sitting on a boulder in the shade of a pine on the top of the Flagpole Ridge and the Ridge, meditating and healing wounds.
After a night of treatment, Jiutian was already tired, but the wound still did not heal, and he was still bleeding.
In the morning light, she opened her eyelashes, glanced at the wound on her shoulder and said: "Xiao'er, I haven't seen her for more than ten years, it turned out that she secretly learned her skills, no wonder I can't find her, but I don't know where she learned her skills, she is so vicious! I have been treated overnight, and this wound has not healed." ”
"Alas...... Wenji's illness is going to attack again in the next few days, but my wound is not good, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to cure his illness. It's all strange for that little sample, the next time I meet her, I will definitely take her little life!" Jiutian secretly annoyed, "But it's also strange, when I was about to take that little sample's life, why did I come to a helper? Seeing that her weapon is very similar to mine, I don't know who it is." ”
"Well, that bother, it's important to heal this wound quickly, otherwise Wenji will be in danger. Jiutian thought about it for a while, then took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued to exercise his skills to adjust his injuries.
After a while, in the shade of the pines on the east side of the boulder, there was a sudden sound of talking, faintly, not like human words, but it could be heard a little clearly.
"Brother Monkey, our king is going to eat that human flesh every seven or eight days, but what is the reason?"
According to the king of our family, when he and the Heavenly Monarch were in Zhongshan, he saw that the great god of Zhongshan and those immortals were eating human flesh, so he fell in love with this bite. This human flesh is not only fatty and delicious, but also the most heaven and earth aura. After eating it, you can enjoy the blessings of your mouth and fill your stomach, and second, you can also absorb people's spiritual energy and help you cultivate. ”
"It turns out that there are so many benefits!Brother Monkey, when will you and I get it to eat human flesh, okay?"
I've been following the king for three or five years, and I haven't eaten it a few times, and you've only been promoted for a few days, and you want to eat it, and you're not afraid that the thunder will strike you?"
As the old saying goes: the water is deep and the dragon must be hidden, and the mountain is high and the goblins will come out!
Sure enough, it was the two little goblins on the flagpole ridge who spoke, one was a horse monkey and the other was a goat and a goat, and they were ordered by the king of their family to go down the mountain to grab human flesh. At this time, the two goblins came out of the cave not far from the cave, and while chattering nonsense, they hurriedly walked down from the pine rock.
After saying that, the horse monkey spirit kicked the goat spirit violently.
The goat spirit was caught off guard, stumbled a few steps, and said unconvinced: "Brother Monkey, what are you kicking me for? We are afraid of thunderbolts, so why is the king not afraid of thunderbolts?"
The king is the eldest disciple of the Heavenly Monarch, and he has been robbed by lightning and thunder, and even the land and mountain gods here dare not offend him. In the Battle of Zhongshan back then, how many immortals died, it was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, but our king and the heavenly monarch survived, what kind of bird can you be counted?"
"Oops...... Brother Monkey, isn't that what I said, you can't kick me with your life. The goat spirit touched his waist and cried out in pain.
"It's still a mile away from the village below the mountain, it's a little slower, and when you get back to the mountain, it's dark, and if the king gets angry, he can't afford it, let's go!"
"Oops...... Kicked my cheeks, my cheeks oh, it hurts! it hurts......" The goat spirit suddenly clamped his two hind legs, and touched his buttocks with one hairy hand, jumping up and down like a zombie.
Meng might have tripped over a vine, and the goat spirit rolled down like a heel.
But it happened to hit a boulder in the shade of the pines, before he stabilized his body, the goat spirit grinned in pain, holding a broken copper knife, slowly crawled up, and was about to complain, when he raised his eyes, he caught a glimpse of a woman in a red dress sitting on the boulder more than a foot high, young and beautiful.
The goat spirit forgot about the pain, and said ecstatically: "Brother Monkey! Brother Monkey...... Creation and Chemistry ...... Let's not go down the mountain, there's a lot of flesh here. ”
"Nonsense, where did the human flesh come from in this barren mountain range?"
"There is really human flesh, Brother Monkey, come and see!"
Hearing that the goat spirit said seriously, the horse monkey spirit carried a double-strand fork, and landed next to the goat spirit in a few jumps, looked up at the boulder, and suddenly the monkey's mouth smiled: "Creation and creation...... If there really is a human flesh, the little jumper, climb up and catch it, and send it to the king. ”
"Okay!" the goat spirit happily responded, pinched the copper knife with his right hairy hand, and picked at the crack in the stone with his left hairy hand, hooked his waist, pouted his buttocks, and slowly climbed up the boulder.
