Chapter Eighty-Nine: Xiao Ming Old Immortal
There is a big sign hanging on the gate of Yang Mingguo: No flying. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although I didn't understand why for a while, Lu Xiaofan and the former dynasty also cautiously mixed in with the immortal group.
As soon as I entered the country of Yangming, I heard the bells ringing everywhere. As far as the eye can see, there are tall towers everywhere, and large bells hang from the tops of the towers. When the bell was heard, the people, whether they were walking, standing, sitting, or doing anything, immediately fell to the ground and chanted words in their mouths.
Lu Xiaofan and Xi Chao also hurriedly lay down, and lay down for a while, only to hear a snoring sound beside them. When I turned my head to look, I saw an old dragon clock, an old fairy who looked to be eighty or ninety years old, lying on the ground and already asleep. Although he was asleep, he was still holding a three- or four-year-old doll in his hand, which looked like a grandfather and grandson.
After the immortals finished kneeling, they got up again and did what they should do. When the three- or four-year-old doll saw that the old fairy was asleep, he picked up one of his long beards and pulled it out, and the old fairy was instantly woken up in pain. When the little doll saw it, she giggled and ran away, and the old fairy shouted behind her: "Grandpa, you run slower!" Beware of falling. ”
Grandpa? Lu Xiaofan glanced at Xi Chao and felt very funny. Lu Xiaofan saw that the old immortal was a little trembling when he walked, so he stepped forward and said, "This old immortal, I'll help you." ”
The old immortal looked at Lu Xiaofan in surprise: "Old? I'm not old, I'm only five years old. “
"......" Lu Xiaofan thought to himself, could it be that immortals can also get Helmer's disease?
The old fairy said, "If you want to help me, go and watch my grandfather, he is too old and runs too fast, I am afraid that he will run away." ”
"He ran in that direction." Xi Chao stretched out his hand and pointed in a direction.
"Hey, this grandpa, I see that he is going to ask for Skittles again." The old immortal said, and handed a bag to Xi Chao: "Old man, please hurry up and pay, lest the stall owner think that he will beat him for nothing." ”
Lu Xiaofan looked in the direction he was pointing to, and saw a colorful glass house by the bridge in front of him, and there were colorful candy floating outside the house. Xi Chao turned his head to Lu Xiaofan and said, "I'll go over first, you help this old immortal to come over slowly." ”
Seeing that the old man ran over quickly, the old immortal sighed and said, "It's good to be old! ”
Lu Xiaofan helped the old fairy all the way, chatting all the way. From time to time on the road, an immortal greeted the old fairy with a gloating face: "Xiao Ming, did your grandfather run away again?" Beware of being captured by the spies of the Yin and Yang Mission! ”
Do the Yin and Yang missions often arrest children in various countries? The wandering fairy child of the Bitter Pole Country should be careful. Lu Xiaofan thought to herself.
Lu Xiaofan learned from his conversation with Xiao Ming Lao Xian that they originally belonged to the Huizhen Kingdom, but were later annexed by the Yang Ming Kingdom. The growth process of the citizens of the Returning Realm is exactly the opposite of that of other immortals. It is dying of old age at birth, getting younger and younger as it grows older, and finally returns to the infant state and then to the newborn state and then enters a deep sleep, at which point the people will put it into a figurine jar, and then open it again after three years, and the jar is empty, at which point the heavenly soul has returned to the source. It is precisely because the Heavenly Soul can have a smooth sailing and successful destination, and all of them are getting younger and younger, that the people of the true country have always been simple-minded, at ease with encounters, and live a relaxed and happy life. However, although they have no quarrel with the world, they are often oppressed by some bullying races, and in the face of these immortals who bully the weak and fear the hard, they usually endure it again and again, and calm things down. However, when these brutal races saw that they were weak, they bullied them more and more, so that more and more of the Avertigants could not grow up safely or die properly, and the most vulnerable to bullying were the old people and children of the Averti.
"Don't you have any allies?"
"In the past, there was a monarch in the East who took good care of us. Their people are good at planting and can control the growth of plants from all walks of life. But later, the leader of the country of Yang Ming imprisoned them all in the plantation of the country of Yang Ming, and they were not allowed to associate with other races. Xiao Ming said breathlessly.
Finally caught up with the little doll, Xiao Ming said earnestly: "Grandpa, don't run around, you can return in three years, but be careful." Once captured by the Hookclaw Nation, your return will be in vain. “
The little doll licked the candy and said, "Okay." Pointing to the former dynasty, he said: "For the sake of this child who invited me to eat sugar, don't run around." Alas, it's still interesting to talk to older kids, you're too young, and there's a generation gap with me. “
As he was talking, the bell rang again, and the immortals on the street hurriedly fell down in unison.
"Alas, the bell is struck more and more often, and all day and night it kowtows to their true God. My knee hurts. The old fairy complained.
"Old thing, dare to have an opinion about the true God?!" A big man with thick eyebrows and small eyes, and a meaty face shouted at the old fairy.
When the little doll heard this, her eyes glared and said, "Did I mess with you, old thing?" You bastard, murder me every day, look at me again and I'll beat you! Relying on the fact that Lu Xiaofan and the two children of the former dynasty are escorted today, this "grandfather" is also very arrogant.
Xiao Ming was frightened and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him. The man with thick eyebrows and small eyes kicked Xiao Ming to the ground, and then grabbed the little doll's neck and slapped him a few times. The little doll cried "wow", and a few red finger prints on the white and tender little face instantly bulged high.
Lu Xiaofan angrily stood in front of the big man: "Let go of him!" ”
The big man shouted arrogantly: "Don't let it go! ”
Before the words fell, Lu Xiaofan had already grabbed his wrist carrying the little doll and made a mistake, only to hear a click, and the big man's wrist was dislocated. Immediately afterwards, Lu Xiaofan flashed from under his ribs to behind him, twisted his arm behind his back, and the big man waved his fist with his other hand, and was grabbed by Lu Xiaofan and locked it. Lu Xiaofan kicked the big man's knee, and the big man fell to his knees. opened his mouth and was about to scold, Lu Xiaofan smashed his elbow on the back of his neck, and the big man shook and fell to the ground.
"It's terrible, kill the immortals!" The crowd of onlookers shouted.
A patrol lined up and crowded over.
The leader of the patrol probed the big man's snort: "It's just dizzy, useless waste, drag it away!" Looking at the landing fan and the former dynasty: "You two are very fresh, where did you come from?!" ”
Xiao Ming Lao Immortal snorted and said: "Elder Guard, they are distant relatives of my family, from the Xianxia Kingdom. ”
"Xianxia Kingdom? Is the country of sheep singing territorial? Why haven't I heard of it? The captain of the guard pondered and meditated.
"The Xianxia country is very small, there are only dozens of immortals, and the country of Yangming has a great cause, so naturally I won't remember such an inconspicuous small city-state." Xiao Ming said with a smile.
"Hmph, that's nice, you think I'm stupid?! Come on, take these two guys of unknown origin away! With a wave of his hand, the patrolmen swarmed up and surrounded Lu Xiaofan and the former dynasty.
Suddenly, a terrible scream erupted from the onlookers: "Mom!" Corpse deception!!! ”
The immortals turned their heads to look, only to see a funeral procession not far away throwing a coffin as a scatter. The coffin fell to the ground, the lid opened, and a glazed-eyed, disheveled, and scarred immortal crawled out of the coffin and walked straight to Lu Xiaofan and the other immortals.
"Isn't this the head of Aconitum Village?"
"Didn't he die in the Holy War? I heard that he also made meritorious contributions. ”
"The priest said that after he died in battle, he went straight to Xuanqi Heaven to enjoy the immortal life."
"Yes, I heard that there are seven hundred and twenty fairies waiting."
"Why is this coming down again?"
I saw that the village chief of Li Goudan straightened his eyes, grabbed the neck of the patrol leader, slowly lifted him up, and gritted his teeth and said, "You lied to me!" You can't fly at all, and there are no fairies to serve you at all! As soon as he let go of his hand, he threw the patrol leader on the ground, pounced on him and bit him on the neck.
The leader of the patrol howled in horror: "Help! Fast! Kill him! ”
The patrolmen looked at each other, raised their knives boldly, and shouted boldly: "Kill! "Rushed over. The other patrolmen surrounded and slashed with their knives, and suddenly heard the patrol leader screaming again and again: "Stop, stop! Don't cut it! You idiots! ”
The patrolmen slashed a few more times before they could rein in the momentum, and when they looked closely, the leader was about to be dismantled, but the village chief Li just now was gone, and disappeared out of thin air in front of everyone's eyes.
"Where's Village Chief Li?"
"I don't know, where did you go?"
"Li Goudan has come back to his soul! Come back and ask for your life! ”
"Something is wrong, everyone run!"
There was another panic in the fairy herd. Lu Xiaofan and the former dynasty took advantage of the chaos, and ran away one by one with Xiao Ming and the little doll on their backs. The little doll was unusually rational and calm at this time, pointing at Lu Xiaofan's back, and commanding several immortals to hide in a dark alley.
When the surrounding movement subsided, Lu Xiaofan and the former dynasty sent Xiao Ming and the little doll home. As soon as they entered the courtyard where they lived, they saw the neighbors talking together, and their faces were all frightened.
"Xiao Ming, you're back. Your mom and dad are worried. A thirty or forty-year-old fairy said reproachfully when she saw Xiao Ming.
"Aunt Ma, what's the matter? Why so many people? Xiao Ming asked inexplicably.
"Big deal, it's terrible! Those immortals who died in the holy war were resurrected, and they still preached everywhere that they were going to ascend to the Xuanqi Heaven, that the beauties were serving, and that they were all deceiving the immortals. ”
"These rebellious words are said, but they will be beheaded on the spot!"
"They can't be cut down, they disappear after they finish speaking, and they can't even find a shadow."
"Did someone pretend to do it?"
"Impossible, pretending to know so many secrets of their relatives?!"
"Is it an illusion?"
"Who is so capable of creating so many illusions at the same time in this country of sheep song?"
"I think it's eighty percent true."
"I think so, too."
"Don't talk about it here, you'll have to be captured by the patrol in a minute."
"Okay, let's talk."
"Huh? Who are these two? We can't take in strange immortals! ”
"I'm from the Northland Wind Country."
"I'm from the Southern Orange Country."
The Taoist leader of Xiaoyaozi once confessed that he should not easily reveal his identity.
"What are you doing all this way around?"
"We ...... It's here to join the Sheep Ming Sect. Out of caution, Lu Xiaofan had no choice but to say so.
"Oh, it looks like I'm old, but it's a pity that I'm so spineless." Aunt Ma said disdainfully.
"Alas, forget it, middle-aged and elderly immortals, they have no choice but to ...... if they want to be immortals for a long time and want to throw themselves into the land Unscrupulous. ”
"Hmph, I really have ambition, and I will be able to be powerful and blessed when I get to the top in the future."
"You can't say that, we'll have to rely on them in the future."
"Cut, I can't afford to cover them!"
When the neighbors heard that the two immortals had come to join the Yang Ming Sect, they showed disdain and displeasure, and dispersed as they spoke.
A patrol came over with a gong and shouted, "Curfew, curfew!" It's prayer time! ”
When the immortals heard the sound of the gong, they hurriedly closed their doors.
Xiao Ming's father and mother looked to be fifty or sixty years old, and first politely thanked Lu Xiaofan and the former dynasty, and then asked them to leave in embarrassment, and the patrol team of the Yang Ming Sect would check the night at night.
"Hero, let's go, we are grateful to you, but we really dare not take you in."
"Uncle and uncle, oh no brother and sister, don't worry, let's go."
"It's dark, it's curfew outside, how are they going?" Xiao Ming Old Immortal couldn't bear to say in his heart.
"In this way, I'll take them to Uncle Shi." Xiao Ming's father thought about it, and said to Lu Xiaofan and Xi Chao: "The two heroes come with me." ”
"Yes, let's go, go back quickly." Xiao Ming confessed worriedly.
The two immortals waved goodbye to Xiao Ming and his grandfather, and followed Xiao Ming and his father through one house after another, to a secluded courtyard.
"Do you have a wife cake for sale?" Xiao Ming's father shouted softly outside the hospital.
"There is no wife, only bread." The person inside said, squeaking open the courtyard door, "Come in." ”
"Who are these two?" When Uncle Shi saw Lu Xiaofan and the former dynasty, a subtle light flashed in his eyes, and his little finger nodded when he arched his hand.
Xiao Ming's father said apologetically: "These two saved my family Xiao Ming and the old man on the street today, but we didn't dare to take them in, so we had to bother Uncle Shi to send them away." ”
Lu Xiaofan introduced himself again with the former dynasty, and responded to Uncle Shi with the same etiquette.
Xiao Ming's father completed the task, and he didn't dare to stay for a minute and hurried back. Under the high-pressure rule of the Yang Ming Sect, the immortals were in danger, lest they would be severely punished by the Jiu clan if they made a slight mistake.
"Please, both of you. How is Brother Xiaoyaozi? ”
