Chapter 4: Learning to Breathe
For everything in front of her, Xiao Ziyi didn't think too much about it because she was still young, and walked up the two stone steps and stepped into the courtyard.
Looking at the familiar scenery, the grass and trees in front of him, brick and tile, Xiao Ziyi couldn't be more familiar. Even though I'm only six years old, I still remember a lot of things. In particular, the smell of water and soil in the countryside is even more familiar and unforgettable.
Xiao Ziyi's home is not big, nor rich, but it is not poor, the front and back two layers of the yard, although not very big, but the three generations are not idle and crowded, surrounded by grandfather and father I don't know where to find the stone courtyard wall, even the house is made of stone.
There is a main house in the front courtyard, and a path is paved with gravel, and on the left side of the path is a small small courtyard, which is autumn at this time, and many crops have turned yellow.
On the right side is a small barn and a half, and next to the barn there is a stable, in which there is a small stove at home.
Xiao Ziyi peeked towards the main room, and the door was open at this time. The child's eyes were sharp, and when he saw that there was no one in the house, he walked down the small stone path towards the backyard.
Soon came to the backyard, there are three main rooms in the backyard, and two side rooms, which are the bedrooms where her grandparents, father and mother live.
On the left side of the stone path there is a peach tree with withered peach leaves, and under the tree there is a stone table and four four-headed piers. At this time, two old men were doing on the stone pier.
On the main throne is Xiao Ziyi's grandfather, Tao Lao. Sitting across from her grandfather was a gray-haired old man who looked a little younger than Tao Lao.
The old man was dressed in a Taoist robe, with red skin and thin eyebrows, although he was close to the sixtieth year, he could still see that he was a handsome man when he was young.
In this small mountain village, Tao Lao is simple and honest, and kind, so he often comes to his family. But when Xiao Ziyi saw the old man in front of him, he was indeed very strange, the grandfather, grandmother, uncle, uncle, basically, Xiao Ziyi can know a rough idea, even if he calls out the other party's name, he is also familiar, but the old man in front of him who looks similar to his grandfather can definitely see it for the first time.
At this time, the two of them didn't seem to speak, just looked at each other, Xiao Ziyi saw someone from the family, and naturally went to the side, not daring to step forward, let alone making a mistake.
It's just that I don't know why, Xiao Ziyi seems to have some curiosity about this strange grandfather, so her eyes have been secretly aiming and haven't left the stone table.
Xiao Ziyi followed the two old men like this, and they didn't know how many times time alternated between day and night, but Xiao Ziyi didn't notice the passage of time.
But in this secret observation, Xiao Ziyi found that the gray-haired old man was a little different, between the old man's breathing, there seemed to be a white mist emitting from the old man's nose and mouth, just like the gas breathed by people in winter.
Although it is autumn now, it has not reached the point of being so cold, and looking at the old man's clothes, it is also very thin. But Tao Ziyi is a six-year-old girl after all, and she doesn't think as much as adults, although she sees the old man's strangeness, she doesn't think there's anything special.
At this time, in the square of the Qingxu Sect. The golden light mask is a little dim. It faded a little, which is also the middle stage of the cultivation of the sect master Buzi Dan, so that he can use his divine sense to observe the performance of more than a thousand children in the illusion.
At this time, the black qi gathered in the cols around Qingxu Mountain gradually diffused, until the cols were filled with black gas.
The birds and beasts everywhere were frightened and fled in all directions, and some of the little demon beasts that didn't have time to run away were swept by the black gas, and instantly turned into piles of white bones. Ken saw the terrible black gas.
The red wheel falls westward, and the jade rabbit rises eastward. In the night sky, when the black qi was even more rampant, there was no more small beast within a radius of dozens of miles around the entire Qingxu Mountain.
In the southeast of Qingxu Mountain, a city is located there. From a distance, this city is not big, but when it is ten miles away from the city, you can see that this city, just the city wall is a hundred miles long, and it is almost impossible to see the end at a glance.
At this time, the four gates of this city were closed, and a handful of people were surging at the city, staring closely at the group of demon beasts that passed quickly from both sides of the city, among which there were also many ordinary birds and beasts.
At this time, in the middle of the crowd, there were dozens of people who looked like sharp swords, standing there, and the two leaders were frowning and guessing at each other at this time: "Qingfeng, what do you think is going on with this beast tide?" ”
"I don't know, but looking at the direction, it's from the Qingxu Mountain!"
"yes!" The man who spoke was a man in a black Hanfu with a brown placket, and his brow was already wrinkled into a pimple at this time;
"Big brother, you say, could it be the Qingxu Sect, something happened?" Qingfeng's fair-skinned handsome face also revealed uneasiness, and his voice was very cautious and said to the man in charge;
"I hope not, otherwise we'd better wait for the beast tide to pass and send a few people to investigate!" Qing Yan stared at the direction of Qingxu Mountain in the distance, and said leisurely: "If there is really something, we can help, or help, after all, we are neighbors!" Come to think of it, the relationship is not bad! ”
"Big brother, as far as I know, it's been the time for the Qingxu Sect to recruit new disciples recently, what do you say can happen?" Qingfeng said with something to say;
Qing Yan heard that there was something in Qing Feng's words, and his divine sense said: "What do you think, just say it!" ”
"I mean, could it be that the demons are fighting the idea of those children?" Qingfeng saw that Qingqi was cautious, and he also changed it to divine consciousness transmission;
"This" After hearing this, the worry in his eyes became even worse, if it was really a demon clan, they would be all the Du family monks who poured out of Green Fields City, and they would not be inferior to the monks of the Qingxu Sect, but would set themselves on fire!
But if, if the Du family doesn't care, once the demon clan destroys the Qingxu Sect, how long can the Green Field City, which is close to the Qingxu Sect, exist?
Now Du Qingyan is really embarrassed, not supporting, not supporting, not being able to pay attention to it for a while, so he had to spread his thoughts to his own brother, Du Qingfeng!
Du Qingfeng frowned, he didn't have a good idea, it was worth looking at his brother and shaking his head, Du Qingqi, knowing that he had to discuss it with the backbone of his family now, so he flicked his sleeves, left an elder in charge, ordered any changes, and immediately reported to him, turned around and flew towards the inner city of the Du family with the remaining elders, intending to discuss a solution.
At this time, Tao Ziyi, who was in the illusion, didn't know how many days and nights had passed, even if she was a child, she also felt that in such weather, it was unusual to be able to exhale white mist, so Xiao Ziyi also followed the old man's breathing rate and breathed, naively thinking that she could also breathe out white mist like this.
