Chapter 6 The Black Pine Forest Saves the Son
"It's a good way, it's a very good way. The name is famous, and the name is not very famous. The beginning of the nameless heaven and earth, the mother of all things. Therefore, there is always none, and I want to see its wonder, and I always have, I want to see it. These two have the same name and the same name, and they are the same mysteries. Mysterious and mysterious, the door of all wonders. "In the Yuqing Pavilion next to the Yubi Peak of Kunlun Mountain, Yuyangzi, Lingkongzi, Cangyunzi, Moling Xiangu four saints sit in four directions, Yuyangzi on the east side, Cangyunzi on the south side, Lingkongzi on the west side, Moling Xiangu on the north side, the four saints preach the scriptures together, taste the truth and wonder, just when it comes to the proud place, suddenly see the colorful clouds rolling in the sky, the wind gusts, and a huge flowing cloud vortex has formed on the eastern sky, just like a torrential wave beating, the tide is surging, the center of the vortex is a big black hole, and the four saints raised their eyes to the sky together.
Cangyunzi said: "Good girl, it's terrible, God is broken." ”
Ling Kongzi smiled: "You old man is talking nonsense, I haven't heard that the sky will break the phase." ”
Cang Yunzi argued: "What nonsense am I talking about, you see that it has obviously broken a big hole." ”
Ling Kongzi said: "You are just talking nonsense, how can the sky break holes?"
Cang Yunzi said: "Didn't you just say 'Tao is Tao, very Tao'? If you don't understand, it doesn't mean that it doesn't make sense, if the sky won't break the hole, then Nuwa Niangniang will make up for something." ”
The two of them were arguing endlessly, only to see Yuyangzi and Mo Ling Immortal Gu staring intently at the whirlpool in the sky, frowning slightly, as if thinking about something.
Cang Yunzi and Ling Kongzi glanced at each other, slightly surprised, and looked at Yuyangzi.
Mo Ling Immortal Gu asked, "Yuyang Zhenren, is there anything wrong?"
Yuyangzi sighed and said, "Good luck is unpredictable." As he spoke, he saw a red light flashing out in the center of the whirlpool, like yang and fire, not distinguishing what it was, the electric light around the whirlpool was intertwined, and the phosphorite flickered, like thousands of golden snakes winding and coiling. Suddenly, the red light flew away from the black hole, and it became more and more red under the clear sun, like a large fireball burning, hovering in the air a few times, and flying straight towards the north.
Yu Yangzi pinched his fingers and calculated, divining yin and yang.
Mo Ling Immortal Gu asked, "How?"
Yu Yangzi slowly shook his head and said: "The white sunset star, the good luck is mixed, if it is handled properly, it will be good, and if it is not handled properly, it will be evil." ”
Cang Yunzi said: "Then what was it that flew out just now?"
Yuyangzi said: "A life." At this time, the three of them were extremely surprised, and they all didn't understand the meaning of Yuyangzi's words.
Cang Yunzi pointed to the sky and said, "Hey, look. ”
The three of them followed Cang Yunzi's instructions and looked towards the sky, only to see that the electric light around the whirlpool was extinguished, the phosphorus flame was annihilated, the whirlpool became smaller and smaller, and gradually disappeared, and the sky returned to its normal appearance. Cang Yunzi, Ling Kongzi, and Mo Ling Immortal Gu looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say, and finally the eyes of the three fell on Yuyangzi together. I saw Yu Yangzi holding his long beard in his hand, and said with an indifferent smile: "All laws have a fixed number, if there is birth, there must be death, everything should be done without doing anything, just go with the flow." ”
Cang Yunzi said: "But a while ago, you said that there was a change in the demon clan, don't you just ask?"
Ling Kongzi and Mo Ling Immortal Gu both looked at Yu Yangzi, waiting for his explanation.
Yuyangzi said: "Now that I have no clue, what can I do? "The three of them have no other way, and Yuyangzi is the deepest in terms of qualifications, since he said so, the three of them can only obey.
Yuyangzi said: "That's all for today, everyone, please." The four of them stood up and said goodbye to each other.
Mo Ling Immortal Gu beckoned to the sky, and two cranes chirped from afar, only to see the two white dots in the south sky getting bigger and bigger, and gradually getting closer, and they were the shadows of the two cranes. The two cranes spun in the air, their wings stretched and fell to the ground, Moling Fairy Gu sat on the back of a crane with a slight lift, touched the crane's erect neck, and the two cranes made a long roar, spread their wings brightly, and flew off the ground. Mo Ling Immortal Gu waved to the three of them and said, "Goodbye." "The crane flew south.
Ling Kongzi and Cang Yunzi clenched their fists and arched their hands to Yuyangzi, and the two of them showed their magical powers, and the wind flew to the east and west. Yuyangzi looked at the sky with a solemn face, as if thinking about something, and stood for a moment before turning back to the Immortal Mansion.
The water of the Guli River flows slowly from west to east, the river is not very wide, 14 or 5 zhang wide, and a bluestone bridge spans both sides of the river. It's June, and the banks of the river are full of greenery and flowers. In the upper reaches of the river, there are more than 30 families scattered around, and it is a village, called "Li Long Village". There is a high mountain on the north side of Lilong Village, named "Qilian Mountain", the peaks are connected, the steep rocks are steep, and the mountain is hundreds of feet high. There is a pine forest between Lilong Village and Qilian Mountain, because this pine forest is green and lush all the year round, dense and gapless, the villagers of Lilong Village call it "Black Pine Forest", and the name of Lilong Village is not for no reason, almost every family of these more than 30 families is surnamed Li, and the meaning of the name "Li Long" is also that the people of this village want to have a good fortune, which means that the surname "Li" is prosperous and prosperous.
The land on both sides of the Guli River is fertile and very rich, and the villagers of Lilong Village have worked on this land for generations. But there is a family in Li Long Village is an exception, this family lives in the westernmost part of the village, a couple lives in three tiled houses with blue bricks and green tiles, the man's surname is Tian, the big name is "Tianming", is the hunter in this village, and it is also the only hunter, who has the strength to do some fists and feet, so he also took on the guard work of the village. Not to mention that the surname "Tian" is rare in Li Long Village, even if you look at the outside world, there are not many surnames. The female Wang is a virtuous and virtuous woman, a woman who shows off her wisdom, needlework and housework, inside and out, is a good hand in everything, and the neighborhood relationship is also very harmonious. The funnier people in the village always joked about Tianming and said: "Tianming, you have really accumulated eight lifetimes of old virtue by marrying a daughter-in-law like Wang." And Tianming is bold and atmospheric, and he always grins "hehe" when he meets people, and he really thinks so in his heart.
However, the couple has one thing that is very unbeautiful, and it is a pity, the two are over thirty years old but have no heirs, Wang feels sorry for Tianming for this matter, and always hates and complains about himself whenever he talks about it. Tianming always comforted his wife with kind words, "What does it matter, if you don't have children, you won't have children, it's not very good for the two of us." But the more Tianming said this, the more blamed Wang's heart became, and he deeply regretted it. Then again, although Tianming comforts his wife with kind words, how can he really not care in his heart, the joy of family is what people want, he also wants to have fun together like other families, and enjoy the relationship between father and son, but in order to avoid his wife's troubles, he always forbears and shows that he doesn't care.
On this day, the sky was just dawning, and the rooster in the village crowed long, "Oh Oh Oh ......" called, one after another, far and near. Tianming got up and put on his coat and got down to the bed, lit the candle on the table, and the slight sound of Suo woke up Wang who was sleeping soundly inside, Wang got up and yawned lightly, and said, "Why do you get up so early? ”
Tianming said in a low voice: "Well, you sleep, I'll take a look at the net I got off yesterday and see if there are any big guys." His voice was low and soft, showing his concern for his wife.
Wang said: "Then don't be so anxious, it's not safe to be dark outside, come back and lie down." ”
Tianming smiled: "Don't get in the way, you can sleep." He turned around and was about to go out.
Wang was in a hurry, jumped out of bed, pulled Tianming's arm and dragged him to the edge of the bed to sit down, and said, "No, I'll go when it's dawn." ”
Tianming smiled, stroked the back of his wife's hand and said, "Alas, you, be good, wait for dawn." ”
Wang smiled slightly, took off his coat for her husband, helped him lie down, and the husband and wife slept together, but they couldn't sleep anymore.
After lying down for a while, Wang's side face rested on her husband's chest, and she said softly: "Brother Ming, I'm ...... Can we go and hold a child, even if it's a girl? ”
Tianming said: "Where can I hold it?"
Wang said: "Erya has already given birth to two, one girl and one young, she is about to give birth to a third, no, let's discuss with her family to see if this child can be given to us." ”
Tianming hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said, "Forget it, I guess we can't get this kid, so I still don't touch this brow." ”
Wang said: "How do you know if you don't try it, maybe the second girl will agree?"
Tianming said: "Alas, don't think about it, even if Er Ya agrees, can Li Hu allow it? You don't know about him, besides, if you ask for this child, what should you say when the child grows up in the future? In fact, Wang had concealed this request from her husband to the people in the same village, but was refused, and the husband and wife had shared the bed for more than ten years.
Tianming felt his wife's body trembling slightly, stroked her back and said, "What's wrong with you? Alas, don't think too much, it's not good for us to do this." ”
Wang choked up and said, "It's all my fault that my stomach is not angry, I ...... I'm so ashamed. ”
Tianming said softly: "Fool, you are not allowed to say that, whether you have children or not, you are my good wife," said Wang's arm and unconsciously tightened. Wang knew that her husband loved her infinitely, and she was very grateful, and she lay quietly on her husband's chest motionless, filling her chest and abdomen with bursts of warmth.
After a while, the sun rose in the east, the sky was red, the sky was already bright, the bright light shone into the house through the window, and the husband and wife lay on the bed and never slept peacefully. Tianming said: "Okay, it's time for me to get up." ”
Wang moved away lightly and said, "Be careful." ”
Tianming said: "Got it." He put on his clothes, got out of bed, took his bow and arrows, took three steel forks, and opened the door. Wang shouted again: "Be careful. Tianming replied, "Got it", and went straight to the black pine forest.
The black pine forest is dense and covered, looking at the whole dense forest as if splashing ink, the east sun outside the forest is gorgeous, and the forest is cool, as if the other party is isolated from the world. Tianming waist hanging iron bow, back feather arrows, hand three steel forks, stride alone, step on the ground like flying, to the forest slowly to step down, he has lived here for more than ten years, to hunt for a living, know that there are often tigers, leopards, jackals and other fierce beasts in the black pine forest, do not dare to be careless, holding the hand of the steel fork tightened, shake the spirit, carefully and slowly walk towards the forest.
Fruit is a good forest: green trees cover the sky, and beasts hide and do not show their lines. The wind sprinkled the branches and rustled the vines, like hearing the ghost of the ghost probing the yin. Fluttering on the edges, the birds flew together only to see the sound of the branches in the air, and the beasts rushed and did not know where to look. Trees are falling from tree to tree, birds are competing for sound, grass is pressing grass, monkey apes are singing.
Tianming's feet walked on the dense grass, forked and picked vine branches, one step at a time, one by one, and slowly marched towards the place where he set the trap of the dense net. Suddenly, there was a sudden wind in the forest, a tiger roar resounded through the forest, Tianming held the steel fork with both hands, waited for the battle, listened to the forest quietly, looked for the place where the tiger's roar came from, and waited to identify the direction, and hurriedly ran towards the depths of the forest. I saw a clearing, a colorful tiger with a white forehead shook its head around a dense turn of grass balls, the steel strip-like spotted tiger tail was straight, swinging around, seeing the arrival of dawn was not frightened, the thick front paws pressed on the ground, the tiger's head was to the ground, and suddenly raised his head and stretched his neck and roared, the pine branches of the tiger roared and shook with the sound of the tiger's roar, and the dead branches and pine needles fell down in a flutter.
Tianming shuddered, swallowed a mouthful of saliva in his throat, held the steel fork tightly with both hands, pressed down, and made a gesture to stab, just waiting for the tiger to pounce. As the saying goes: "When a tiger roars, a hundred beasts are silent", let alone a human being, how can he not be afraid? However, at this moment, the sound of the tiger's roar stopped, and the sound of "babbling" came out of the grass balls.
Suddenly, the tiger turned around and jumped into the depths of the forest, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, Tianming was even more surprised, and after a while, he said in his heart: "It seems that this tiger also has spirituality, and it is afraid of me." He reached out and wiped the cold sweat from his head. Although Tianming's fists and feet are good and his martial arts are exquisite, he is also stunned in the face of the king of beasts, and he will calm down when the tiger is far away. The call of "babbling" was endless, one after another from the grass ball, Tianming was very curious, and walked towards the grass ball, this surprise really surprised him to the extreme, and almost lost his voice, only to see that there was a blue cloth embroidered swaddling cloth in the grass ball, and a little baby was wrapped in the swaddling clothes, with a pink face, eyes like lacquer, and a small hand like a green lotus root was put in his mouth to chew, smiling, babbling.
Tianming didn't seem to believe what he saw in front of him, dropped the steel fork, rubbed his eyes with both hands, and then fixed his eyes to look again, especially he didn't believe it, and pinched his face hard, only in pain he grinned, only to believe that everything in front of him was real and not a dream, and then he didn't have to think about it, leaned over and picked up the baby and looked at it carefully, only to see that the baby had clear eyebrows and ruddy complexion, like a pink carved jade. Tianming's heart was overjoyed, smiling to amuse the baby, the baby saw Tianming's face for the first time, the child's heart was innocent, looking at him with round eyes, grinning and smiling, Tianming felt even more happy, couldn't help but kiss the baby's pink face, but the baby cried loudly, Tianming panicked, hurriedly coaxed him, but the baby cried more and more, Tianming no matter how to coax him, he was anxious, and said secretly: "It seems that the little guy is hungry." Suddenly stunned, he was surprised: "Hey, how can there be a baby in this barren mountain and wilderness, this ...... How could his parents be ruthless? No, could it be that there was something wrong with this child that his parents cruelly abandoned him? But it doesn't look like it, it's lively and healthy, he can cry and laugh, this ...... This...... What's going on? Could it be a tiger?"
Tianming was puzzled, raised his eyes and looked around, only to see that this forest is next to the forest, the mountain is against the mountain, the tree is the tree, the grass is the grass, where there is half a human smoke, I don't have to think about it, I hold the baby in my left hand, lean over with my right hand to pick up the three steel forks, run quickly to the outside of the forest, and run straight to the door, what hunting plans are all put in the back of my mind.
