Ryujin III, IV
The hall was gloomy and terrifying, and the three of Chunqi, Hua Kan, and Xiuhe knelt in a row in front of the patriarch. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"The courage is not small, and the eggs of the 'God Promise' dare to steal. The Taoist priest has not been angry for many years, and it is still very scary when he is serious, "If it weren't for the timely arrival of the master and Danshu, the two of you would have fallen into a pulp!" He slammed the Nanmu table with the white jade handle of the dust. There was a complete and delicate bird's nest on the table, and five small eggs were inside, which was the culprit.
"When we said we were going to steal birds' eggs, Master, you also said that you would steal a few more and come back and eat them...... Hua Kan said softly.
The old Taoist priest's face was slightly red, "Do you use the eggs of 'Tianxuzhi' to make braised eggs!!" He knocked on the table again, and the bird's nest on the table also jumped slightly.
"Master, now is not the time to talk about this. Danshu stood aside and quietly relieved the younger brothers, "Now that the egg has been brought back, what should I do next?"
The Taoist morale puffed up: "Whoever brings it back cares, as a teacher, he won't hatch eggs and bring children anyway!"
Tsubaki said, "Shall we go back?"
Danshu said patiently: "'Heavenly Promise' is very wary of people, this egg has been stuck to your breath, and it will not ask for it again." ”
Chunqi tilted his head and said, "Then wash it?"
Dan Shu was not surprised, but patiently continued: "That will wash off the mark on the female bird's eggs, which is also useless." ”
"That's it......" Hua Kan whispered again.
"Danshu, you tell them. The Taoist priest took a breath, covered his chest, and threw the matter to the big apprentice in despair.
"Yes. Danshu said slowly to the three kneeling beside him, "The young bird of "Heavenly Promise" has ten thousand possible forms before it comes out of the shell, if it is a demigod Peng Firebird, then the act of strangling it in the shell is killing the gods. Killing gods will be punished by heaven, and the juniors and disciples know it?"
The three of them nodded in fright.
"Senior brother," Tsubaki said pitifully, "I don't want to be struck by lightning." "Tsubaki is usually stupid and bold, but in fact, he is most afraid of death.
Danshu sighed.
"Maybe it wasn't struck by lightning," the Taoist priest said coolly, "Peng Huoniao Sihuo, maybe it was burned by fire." ”
Tsubaki was so frightened that she burst into tears.
"Master......" Danshu was helpless.
Xiuhe, who was kneeling next to him and had not spoken, suddenly said, "Let the disciple come and crush them." In this way, the punishment of heaven will only fall on the disciples. It was the disciple's fault in the first place. The transformation charm that attracted the female bird was also placed by the disciple. The disciple, as the elder brother, did not bring the disciples well. ”
"No! it's not Senior Brother Xiuhe's fault!" Hua Kan said hurriedly, "Originally, we were just going to touch some turtledove eggs, but I found a new nest on the giant tree and wanted to go up to see it, so I caused trouble!"
"If that's the case," Tsubaki said quickly, "I'm the one who actually went to get the eggs." I'm here to be damned. ”
"It's me. ”
"It's me!"
"No, it's me!"
The three of them quarreled.
The Taoist priest was a little moved, thinking that this group of boys was quite righteous, and it was in vain that he dragged these demon kings of the mixed world with a handful of and urine.
"Alright!" the Taoist priest pretended to be impatient, "I didn't say that there would definitely be a Peng Firebird." ”
The 1 in 10,000 chance is too slim.
"Let's put the eggs here for the teacher first. If only the three of you knew you were wrong. As for those who are cursed by heaven or not, there are teachers who are afraid of something. "The Taoist priest also belongs to the type of anger between man and god.
Before Hua Kan and Xiu He could react, Chun Qi had already jumped up and threw himself into the arms of the Taoist priest: "Master, Master, you are the best!"
The Taoist priest couldn't help but smile on his face, but when he thought of how much trouble this troublemaker had brought to him, he pulled down his face again: "It's useless to be coquettish! How many things have you picked up all day and come back?"
The dragon god < four >
The master and apprentice squatted on the edge of the lotus pond with their heads on their heads, and Danshu stood aside with an expressionless face.
"Master, did Chunqi really pick up a dragon and come back?" asked Hua Kan.
"It's not a pick-up, I won it......" Tsubaki snapped.
"Can we hide a dragon in our spirit pool?" Xiu He asked lightly.
The length and width of the spiritual pond are six zhang, and the depth is one zhang and five, and the ancestors of the Taoist do not know what spells they cast, so that the lotus flowers in the pond are crowded all year round, and they do not wither and wither in autumn and winter like the mortal world. Every year when the snow falls in Cangwu, there is a wonder of snow reflecting lotus flowers, but unfortunately everyone in Cangwu has long been accustomed to seeing it, but it is not appropriate to do anything.
Rao is like this, this pond full of lotus flowers can't hide a dragon.
The carp can hide under the lotus leaf, a dragon, how to hide the law? If the head is hidden, the tail of the body will be exposed, and if the body is hidden, the dragon head will definitely be squeezed to the water.
But the four masters and apprentices squatted on the edge of the pool and stared at it for a long time, but they didn't see the shadow of a dragon.
"Master, where is the dragon?" asked Hua Kan.
"Ahem, don't worry. This dragon is relatively small, shy, and seems to be stunted, maybe it has just been tired, and now it is resting at the bottom of the flower. The Taoist priest said, "Besides, our pool looks small, but it's actually quite big." There was an adult dragon living in the pond before. ”
Hua Kan imagined for a moment, small, shy, and stunted? Aren't dragons all tall and mighty, more than 100 feet long?
"The adult dragon is hidden in the pool, and the lotus flowers are all crushed. Xiu He frowned.
The Taoist priest recalled, "No, he was very careful. Besides, the dragon is the spirit of the water, and the lotus flower is stained with the dragon's aura, and it will only bloom more and more. ”
Danshu suddenly said, "Shizun is very familiar with that dragon?"
The Taoist priest's eyelids drooped and smiled: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and I probably don't know it very well." ”
Danshu didn't ask any more. He is only thirteen years old, and he already understands that the world is helpless, and there are some things that cannot be pursued.
"Ahh
The silver-white dragon's tail shone in the sunlight, fanning out an arc-shaped curtain of water in the air, and flipped under the lotus leaves, disturbing a pool of ripples.
"Wow!" Hua Kan exclaimed, "It's really beautiful." But ......"
"It's really small. Xiu He added.
"Hmm. It was wounded, and it was somewhat badly wounded. Danshu said, "Tsubaki, that's how it was when you met it?"
"Huh?" Tsubaki was still immersed in the shock of the dragon's tail, "No, when I met it, it was even smaller than it is now. "Otherwise, he wouldn't have held it.
The Taoist priest began to touch his non-existent beard: "As a teacher, I also think it's not normal." ”
"Obviously, senior brother saw it first......" Hua Kan whispered.
The Taoist priest coughed.
"Master went to the back mountain to pick herbs to heal its wounds?" asked Danshu.
"Oh yes," the Taoist priest patted his head, "I was disturbed by the 'Heavenly Promise', and I almost forgot about it." As he spoke, he pulled out a small glass bottle from his bosom, filled with green light.
"Master, you are so stingy," Chunqi said when he saw that the bottle was less than the size of his palm, "and healers are only willing to produce such a small amount of herbs." ”
"Tsubaki, don't talk nonsense. Danshu patted Tsubaki's head lightly, "This is Bright Moss, such a small piece, it has been growing for hundreds of years. To heal a dragon, the effect is enough. ”
The three small ones took a closer look, and sure enough, they saw a moss-like thing the size of a fingernail at the bottom of the bottle. The green light in the bottle is what it emits.
"Bright moss only grows in places where the aura is pure, and it is made of the essence of heaven and earth, and it has the effect of flesh and white bone medicine for the dead, which is extremely rare, but I didn't expect that we also have it in the back mountain. Danshu explained in detail to the three small ones. When Shizun drove the cloud and took him to the back mountain to fetch it, Danshu was already surprised, so he could come peacefully at this time.
"Senior brother is so powerful!" Hua Kan said.
Xiu He said: "Just this piece of moss, don't you need to add some ginseng grass Ganoderma lucidum, don't you need to refine it?"
The Taoist priest opened the mouth of the glass bottle and gently poured the bright moss into the pool.
"The refined elixir is ineffective against dragons. Dragons are also natural, so that's it. The Taoist priest replied.
The bright moss became a blur of light in the water, drifting to the bottom of the dark pool.
The three small ones waited with bated breath, and even Danshu watched intently as the pool changed. There was only a Taoist priest, who didn't know what to remember, and his expression was a little dazed.
Almost instantly, the bottom of the pond emitted a green glow, and the water color was clear and transparent, and you could see schools of carp swimming among the lotus stems, red, gold, brown ochre, and brocade...... Suddenly, a narrow silver-white figure flashed in the pool, and the swimming fish gave way to it, vacating most of the water, so that the figure became clearer.
It was a dragon swimming in a pool.
Suddenly, Tsubaki sighed, "It's a little bigger than just now." ”
Danshu came back to his senses, took a closer look, and said, "Indeed." ”
The Taoist priest frowned.
"I'll just say, dragons, they're all majestic. The ancient Ying Dragon, that is as long as 10,000 zhang! This one is a little smaller now, and it will definitely grow to the size of a mountain!" Hua Kan's eyes lit up, as if he had seen an adult dragon soaring into the sky.
Xiu He poured cold water and said, "I advise you not to think that you can keep it all the time." Dragons have a strong temperament, and it is impossible to be imprisoned. ”
Hua Kan was distraught, and snorted: "Who wants to detain it?" I just want to ...... I just want to make friends with it. ”
"Alright," the Taoist priest interrupted the apprentices' discussion, "Long has also seen it, let's go back to lunch." After lunch, Hua Kan made up for the missing morning class, and Chunqi punished ten volumes of the Taoist scriptures, and the teacher came to check them at this time tomorrow. “
"Ah~" Hua Kan sang and sighed.
"Master~" Tsubaki wanted to be coquettish again.
The Taoist priest blistered, "What, it's too little?"
The two of them said Nuo Nuo with a bitter face.
Xiu He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Master, what about me?"
The Taoist priest said, "You go and cook." Really, starved to death as a teacher. So saying, he turned back and walked to the apse.
The three little ones watched him go away before he got up from the ground.
"Ah, my legs are numb after squatting for a long time. Hua Kan tapped his sturdy calves and said.
Tsubaki asked again, "Strange, why isn't Shizun numb?"
Hua Kan thought for a while, "Maybe people will get used to it when they get old?"
Danshu laughed: "Nonsense again." Shizun is only one step away from becoming an immortal, and he has long been immortal. ”
Xiu He patted the soil on his pants and walked to the kitchen without saying a word.
"Senior Brother Xiuhe!" Tsubaki chased after him, "What are you doing for lunch?"
Danshu also followed, "Xiuhe, don't listen to him, just make some porridge and side dishes." Senior brother is here to give you a hand. "It's pitiful, Cangwu has four apprentices for a Taoist priest, and only Xiuhe knows some cooking skills in the stove. If it weren't for Xiuhe's presence, I'm afraid the people of Cangwu would have starved to death.
Seeing this, Hua Kan hurriedly rushed behind Xiuhe: "Xiuhe, I want to eat poached eggs!"
"You haven't forgotten the eggs. Tsubaki said.
A group of people talked and laughed and walked away.
A head poked out of the lotus pond silently.
