Chapter 7 Descending the Mountain
"I think this finch is also sad for a while, and after a while I will forget it, it is better to raise it, feed it three meals a day, as long as it is long, it will naturally fly away after it is healed. So I caught the two finch, and made a nest with weeds to raise them, but unfortunately the idea was good, but it was not used, and the two finches not only refused to eat, but also came to poke my fingers, and hated me so deeply, it was really unexpected. ”
Fang Zhongdao: "Is that finch dead?" ”
"If it refuses to eat, it will not die, and it will not have a few days to live. I think it only hated me for the sake of those eggs, and if it had returned the eggs, it wouldn't have such hatred. ”
Fang Zhong said: "But you have already eaten." ”
"I naturally know where to get out. But it's strange that as soon as I make a fist with one hand and hand it to the finch, it thinks I'm going to return the egg, and it doesn't poke me or struggle, just stares at the fist. If I spread my fist out and it is empty, then the finch will know that I am lying to him, and will only poke and scream to die faster. In order not to disappoint it, I had to keep clenching my fist and pretending that there was an egg inside, so as to arouse its hope, maybe I didn't want to die. ”
Fang Zhong shook his head and said, "It's okay once or twice, can you always lie to it." ”
"At first, it was really useful, and the two finches actually ate, and sometimes chirped twice from the nest, and the sound was crisp, which was really good. I'm used to being alone, and having the two of them with me has also relieved a lot of boredom. But I only handed my fist but did not stretch out my palm, and after a few days, it thought that I would not return its eggs, and poked and scratched, and the old problem attacked, and it was going to whine and mourn, which was really helpless. Seeing that the twin sparrows were about to die, I was helpless, so I thought of a way, since the real egg is gone, it is better to become a fake egg, and fool the finch for a while. One day I once glimpsed Naba Wenji in a no-man's place with his palms to stimulate true qi, the mud and dust and water dew into a human appearance, I can't learn the ability to use qi to resist things, but a little true qi is still there, big can't it, can't even a little finch egg? After thinking about it for a long time, I gave it a try and auditioned. ”
Fang Zhong suddenly said: "It turns out that Dao Chief's ability to condense his qi in his palm was thought of like this, but he didn't know if it was useful or not? ”
Lai Pi said: "I didn't work at the beginning, I tried a lot and I found the way out, if I think about the birds, the true qi in my palm will not disperse, if I think about anything else, I can't gather anything." ”
Fang Zhong remembered that the qi mass in Lai Pizhang's palm was not like an egg pill, just because he thought of this thing in his heart and turned into this thing, on the other hand, he only knew that the qi was condensed in his palm, and there was nothing in his heart, how could he gather it? couldn't help laughing and said, "No wonder the Taoist said that you can only turn into a circle, it turns out that this is the reason." If you use this method to perform in front of the finch, the finch must think that the finch egg is still alive, and it will not be dead, right? So what happened, is the finch well? ”
Lai Pi's old face drooped, and he said in frustration, "The finch is dead." ”
Fang Zhong asked in surprise, "Why did you die again?" ”
Lai Pi said: "After a few days of tossing, the finch is already dying, I tried this, and it beat twice at first, but when my real anger is gone, the finch egg disappears, and it dies." ”
The two were relatively speechless, silently sad for the two finch.
Liu Yimei stood behind Fang Zhong, and after hearing the origin of Lai Pizhang's 'egg', he had long been impatient, and said loudly: "The two finches will die if they die, if it were me, I plucked the feathers and roasted the wine, why did I talk so much nonsense." ”
Lai Pizhang said angrily when he heard this: "What does it matter to you two of me? It's up to you to take care of it. Then he said to Fang Zhong: "Little junior brother...... No, I don't call you junior brother, and you don't call me Taoist, it's better to let the two of me be called brothers, I call you a little brother, and you call me an old brother, is that good? ”
Fang Zhong smiled and said, "I'm brothers with Dao Chief? Wouldn't it be too high. ”
Lai Pi shook his head and said, "What is high or not high, I just don't want to scold you too." You say that I am a good word to call someone a senior brother? In fact, I add the word 'dog' in my heart, it is the dog brother and the dog brother, people call me Lai Pi Zhang, I call people Lai Pi Dog, so as not to suffer. He was often beaten and scolded, and he was powerless to fight, so he used this method to entertain himself in order to be happy, and today he met Fang Zhong, and he felt sorry for each other after a conversation, so he didn't want to scold Fang Zhong too.
Fang Zhong smiled: "Then I haven't been scolded by my brother before, how should this account be calculated?" ”
Lai Pi said: "I didn't know my little brother before, but now I am acquainted, so I can only apologize to you for a courtesy, but fortunately I have a good wine here, just to make amends, and let my two brothers have a drink." ”
Fang Zhong saw that he was already full of alcohol, and he was still drinking, so he frowned and said, "Didn't the old brother drink it?" ”
Lai Pi Zhang smiled and said mysteriously: "I just drank a little bit of wine." Why did I knock over the jar and get the smell of wine all over my body? But because the wine goes into the ground and disappears immediately, we don't know how much wine is left in the jar. I deliberately let these dog brothers and dog brothers find out, thinking that I knocked over the wine jar when I was drunk, but I didn't expect that a beat was actually exchanged for most of the wine. Do you think I'm clever at it? "When I think of my masterpiece, I'm quite proud.
Fang Zhongxi said: "You hid most of the jar of wine in advance, and then you broke the jar of wine to make a false illusion to deceive people." Haha, that's a good idea, but it's not very pleasant. ”
Lai Pi said: "What is the wound of flesh and skin? If I hadn't been beaten like this, they would have to suspect me when they tracked me down, so it was better to let him know first, and then not to come to Luo after the beating, so that the wine could be drunk refreshingly. Stretched out his hand to grab Fang Zhong and said, "Brother came to my house to drink." ”
How could Fang Zhong throw away Liu Yi's eyebrows, and turned back and said, "Senior Brother Liu, let's come with you too." ”
Liu Yimei said in embarrassment: "This, this Taoist chief seems to be ...... below"
Lai Pizhang glanced at Liu Yiyi, shook his head and said, "Although I don't like you, but since you are a friend of the little brother, then it is another matter, you can come too." ”
Liu Yimei said happily: "That's really thanks to Dao Chang's kindness, although he is a new disciple in the sword room, he is quite familiar with the same door everywhere, and if there is something that needs to be taken care of in the future, please tell me, in front of Senior Brother Fang's face, he must help his old brother." ”
Lai Pizhang said impatiently: "You pay you back, I pay me back, each goes his own way, and he doesn't owe each other." I like to be angry, and I never accept people's affection. "I was about to enter the house, but I heard the noise of people outside the wall, and it seemed that many people were walking through the doorway.
Fang Zhong said: "There are many people here, but I'm afraid it's not where they drink. ”
Lai Pi Zhang also felt that it was inappropriate for the three of them to drink here, so he thought about finding a hidden place to simply say, "If there is a place where no one is drinking, it will be happy." ”
Fang Zhong suddenly said: "I have a place where no one comes, I just want the old brother to spend some more wine, and by the way, I will give my brother a personal favor." ”
Lai Pi said, "What's that?" ”
Fang Zhong said with a smile: "It's the place where my brother used to stay, not far from the Sanqing Palace, it's called the beast riding shed, and the people who raise them are all animals, and few people come." You think it's good?"
Lai Pi said, "That's it." You wait for me. "Entered the house alone, and after a while, he came out with two wine cans, one handed to Fang Zhong, and carried one by himself, and the three of them probed the doorway, and when they saw that no one was paying attention, they hurriedly went out of the sword room from the side door and ran towards the beast riding shed.
The courtyard of the sword room was noisy, and I didn't know what was going on. Liu Yimei listened strangely, but he didn't care about it, he just wanted to come back and ask later.
As soon as the three of them left, there was a faint voice in the compound, it was the single uncle, only to hear him say loudly: "The law of the real person in charge: the sword room selects capable disciples to go down the mountain, obey the dispatch of the elder, and the edict arrives, and it will be executed immediately!" ”;
