Chapter 43: A storm rises on Myoku Mountain
Ye Qizhen said: "We are the same clan, and I am younger than yours, you can't call me with the word father, I am the first generation, you know?" ”
Ye Xiaoshuai opened his mouth and chanted: "Shuode Myanmar sage, Hongmo sends far branches, Zhenxiang opens the southern country, and spreads the martyr Shaoxiqi." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" nodded and said: "Then I am higher than your seniority, how do you know?" ”
"How could I not know? I am also a member of Ye Jiawa. Ye Qizhen stared at Ye Xiaoshuai as she spoke, looking at it very carefully and carefully, as if Ye Xiaoshuai had flowers blooming on his face. Ye Xiaoshuai didn't look at it with him, he didn't feel uncomfortable or uncomfortable, he just said to himself: "Are you from Ye Jiawa?" How come I haven't seen you? ”
"It's been more than forty years since I left Ye Jiawa, how can you see me? But I know your father and your father. Have you ever heard of Ye Xiangyun's family? ”
"Oh, I've heard of this, you are the one who disappeared from Ye Xiangyun's family?" Ye Xiaoshuai asked.
"That's right! But I wasn't originally called Ye Qizhen, but Ye Qingchi. Ye Qizhen said.
Ye Xiaoshuai asked curiously, "How did you know that I would come here?" ”
Ye Qizhen smiled mysteriously and asked, "Is this difficult?" ”
Ye Xiaoshuai asked with a puzzled face: "Isn't this difficult?" ”
Ye Qizhen replied lightly: "It's not difficult! Then he said, "Forget it, your stomach is still there, go and eat with me." ”
Ye Xiaoshuai was very surprised and asked, "Where is the food from this wild mountain and dense forest?" There is not even a single farmer. ”
Ye Qizhen said: "What's the word, just follow me." ”
Anyway, if you have something to eat, whatever, forget it, just follow this somewhat eccentric person.
Ye Xiaoshuai followed behind Ye Qizhen, "Oops! Oh my god, how did he go up the cliff on the right instead of the stone steps on the left? Could it be that you really met a ghost? Although Ye Xiaoshuai thought so in his heart, he did not stop, but continued to follow Ye Qizhen, walking step by step.
Come to the edge of the cliff under a large rock that is seven or eight meters high. I saw Ye Qizhen leaning against the big rock, clinging to his body, moving forward, Ye Xiaoshuai also followed Ye Qizhen's example, slowly moving his body, it turned out that there was a path less than a foot wide between the rock and the cliff, and if he was not careful, he would fall under the cliff, and if he fell down from the cliff one or two hundred meters high, he would be seriously injured.
Going around the big rock is a recessed place, which is more than three meters wide and more than fifty meters long, which is much easier and safer to walk. If you weren't there, standing outside the cliff, you wouldn't be able to see such a place at all, especially the big rock on the platform that covered it tightly.
After walking this way, he entered a stone cave or stone crack that only allowed one person to pass sideways, Ye Xiaoshuai looked up and down carefully, there was no trace of artificial chisel, it was completely natural.
The further you go inside, the darker it gets, but Ye Qizhen walks very fast, and she doesn't wait for Ye Xiaoshuai, but fortunately, Ye Xiaoshuai is small, and it is much smoother than adults to pass, so he doesn't fall far.
Walking and walking, the front of the stone crack actually shows bright light, the more you go forward, the brighter the better, you don't have to grope to go, out of the stone crack is a very bright stone cave, there are a lot of large and small stone holes on the stone wall on the left hand side, the light is leaked out of these stone holes, these stone holes have round, square, triangular, oval, and irregular polygonal, "the outside of these stone holes should be the cliff." Ye Xiaoshuai thought to himself.
The stone cave is not big, it is almost the same as the classroom of Ye Au Primary School, that is, the middle hall of the Ye family ancestral hall, about forty or fifty square meters, on the stone wall on the right is a chiseled statue of the Yuan Shi Tianzun, and above the door leading to the inside is the Taiji diagram.
Ye Xiaoshuai followed Ye Qizhen through this stone cave, entered the cave door under the Taiji diagram, and entered a larger stone cave through a passage about two meters wide and eight meters long, at least ten times more than the stone cave outside, it is also very bright, the cave wall is still countless large and small stone holes, and the stone wall is carved with Lingbao Tianzun, Taishang Laojun and other Tianzun statues.
There are more than 20 stone rooms of different sizes in the stone cave, it should be the bedroom of the Taoist priest in the past, Ye Qizhen took Ye Xiaoshuai into the innermost stone room of the stone cave, not only the light is good, but also not small, it looks like there are about 20 square meters, there are two beds in it, covered with quilts, it looks clean, it seems that this is Ye Qizhen's bedroom.
In addition to this bedroom, there is also a small room of about seven or eight square meters, which is the place that Ye Qizhen uses to cook. After walking into the small room, Ye Qizhen pointed to a small round stone table and said to Ye Xiaoshuai: "Sit down, there will be food soon." ”
A stove made of yellow clay was built in the small stone room, and Ye Qizhen lit a fire under the stove and came out from under the stove. Pick up a gourd scoop and scoop a scoop of water from a wooden bucket, lift the lid of the pot, and pour it into the pot. After a while, the water in the pot was boiling with a gurgling boil, and Ye Qizhen took out the noodles pulled out by a handman from a square wooden box next to the bed, put them into the pot, stirred them with chopsticks, and covered the pot again. Turning around, he took out three more eggs from a clay pot, beat them in a bowl, stirred them with chopsticks for a while, and poured the egg pulp into the pot when it was about to stir up again.
After about five minutes, Ye Qizhen took off the lid of the pot, filled a bowl of noodles in a big white bowl, and served it to Ye Xiaoshuai: "Come, let's eat something like this first." ”
Ye Xiaoshuai himself doesn't know how many days he hasn't eaten, looking at this bowl of noodles, his stomach is also gurgling, tears are also rolling eagerly in his eyes, the mental high pressure brought by hunger, cold and fear in his heart for so many days is completely poured out at this moment, and the psychological congestion caused by the pain, depression and perseverance in his heart is completely rushing out at this moment, Ye Xiaoshuai howls loudly.
Ye Qizhen hurriedly ran to Ye Xiaoshuai's side, hugged him in his arms, and said, "Cry!" Cry! It's good to cry out. You are amazing, you are the pride of our Ye family. Do you know? From hearing that you fell into the dark well of the Yellow Dragon Cave, no one would think that you would come out alive, but your mentor and I have always believed that you will be alive, and I have been waiting for you here for twenty-five days. ”
Ye Xiaoshuai slowly stopped crying, and asked with tears in his eyes, "Are you with my teacher?" Where is my mentor now? Do you know who my mentor is? ”
Ye Qizhen nodded and said: "Your teacher's name is Zhang Kai, he is my Taoist friend, he is also a comrade-in-arms who was born and died together, and he is a brother who lives and dies together. ”
Ye Qizhen took a sip of water and said: "Now, I don't know where your mentor is, we only meet three times a year, one is in Huilong Mountain in April every year, the second is in Maoshan in August every year, and the third is here in December every year. ”
"Oh, it turns out that when I was rescued by my teacher in Huilongshan, you were there?" Ye Xiaoshuai said softly.
"Yes, I've also made wild pheasant soup for you, hehe!" Ye Qizhen said.
"Then in Fayun Temple, my teacher is also there?" Ye Xiaoshuai broke the taste of the casserole a little.
"Of course, otherwise how can I say that as far as your teacher and I believe you won't die so easily? On that day, after you left Fayun Temple, the two of us also spent the night in Fayun Temple, and the next day, knowing that you fell into the dark well of the Yellow Dragon Cave, we decided to wait for you here. ”
Ye Xiaoshuai suddenly realized and said, "It turns out that there is only one exit from the dark well. ”
Ye Qizhen asked: "It should only take fourteen or fifteen days to come out, why do you take so long?" ”
He seemed to explain and said, "I am also going to wait for you to leave in five days, because I, like your teacher, have an agreement, and I must arrive and not miss the appointment." ”
Ye Xiaoshuai recounted how he found the exit in the dark well, how he was devoured by a strange creature that looked like a snake but not a snake, a dragon and not a dragon, and a whale but not a whale, and when he found the exit patio, he encountered an injured black vulture and delayed time for his treatment.
"Alas, what a fate! This underground dark river and dark well, your teacher and I both know about it, and we have also explored it. The strange creature you saw, we haven't seen it, but we've heard these legends. Ye Qizhen sighed.
According to legend, in ancient times, there was a vast sea here, called Anhai. Originally, it was a sea where fishermen were happy, rich in species, calm and smooth, and the channel was smooth, so it was called Anhai.
Unexpectedly, he was valued by the West Sea Demon Bai Jiao, and wanted to occupy the entire Anhai Sea alone, and at first he only hyped the strategy of returning to Anhai, instigating the krakens in Anhaili and its nearby waters to make waves, destroy fishing boats, rob property, and compete with the third prince of the sea god.
The third prince of the emperor is relatively weak, except for saying some words of protest against boycott, in essence, there is no strong action and forceful countermeasures, but constantly spends a lot of money or concedes resource benefits, through a third party to mediate peace, and even in order to save face, secretly contact and communicate with the demon Bai Jiao, after each loss of profits, the demon Bai Jiao will rest for a while.
But after each rest, what followed was a greater provocation, the third prince of the emperor was still mediating peace, secretly communicating with money, and conveying interests, as a result, the strength of the third prince of the emperor became more and more empty, and the strength of the demon Bai Jiao became stronger and stronger, and the big and small krakens in Anhai, and even the big and small sea gods tried their best to please the demon Bai Jiao, and finally the demon Bai Jiao firmly grasped the control of An Hai without a single shot.
Under the deterrence of the demon Bai Jiao, the third prince of the Emperor had to obey the orders of the demon Bai Jiao in order to protect himself, not only to devastate the resources of An Hai, but also to severely attack the kraken sea god who had been attached to the demon Bai Jiao, and seize the resources they controlled. Since then, Anhai has been fighting continuously, and the war has not stopped. The emperor was furious and moved mountains and reclaimed the sea, buried all the demons and monsters such as the demon Bai Jiao into the bottom of the sea, and imprisoned the third prince of the emperor.
"Huilong Mountain, Huanglongling, and Miaokong Mountain were also formed from this, forming a mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles." Ye Qizhen said after finishing speaking.
"Where are we now? Is it far from Fayun Temple? Ye Xiaoshuai asked.
"This place is called Myokong Mountain, and the place we live in now is Myokong Temple. It is more than 60 miles away from Fayun Temple. Ye Qizhen replied.
Ye Xiaoshuai's mournful cry came out of the cliff from the stone hole, echoing in the valleys and ravines, and he heard the horror of life. At this time, it was close to noon, and it was the time for the members of the workers to finish work and go home for lunch, when they suddenly heard such a mournful cry coming from the Myoku Mountain Cliff, and all kinds of discussions and rumors spread for a while.
Some say that the demon Bai Jiao is reborn and wants to do evil, some say that the third prince of the emperor is resurrected and will take revenge, and some say that the mountain god is angry and sorrowful, and he wants to bring disaster to the mountain. All kinds of rumors were spread so vividly that the five brigades around Miaokong Mountain were all panicked, so some used the excuse of going out to escape secretly, and some burned incense and made wishes to pray to God and worship Buddha, which seriously affected the local production and life.
The village at the foot of Miaokong Mountain is called the Miaokong Brigade, which belongs to the Daguan Commune of Nanyue County, and is the first source of rumors, and Nanyue County decided to take drastic measures to arrest the broadcasters of the rumors and deal a heavy blow to the arrogance of the feudal remnants. A massive mass movement to sweep away the residual poison of feudalism and crack down on the spread of rumors was in full swing in Nanyue County.
Ye Xiaoshuai will face a situation where he has nowhere to live.
