Chapter 19: The Peach Blossom Spring
Different from the cold winter of the outside world, this world at this time is the recovery of all things, the spring breeze is soft and comfortable, the blue sky, the soft soil, the two sides are full of peach trees, and the peach blossoms are blooming.
At the end of the peach orchard is a huge lake with clear water, behind the lake is a series of towering peaks, in front of the peak is an ancient small village, and farmland, there are middle-aged men pulling oxen, oxen pulling plows, plowing the fields, women sowing seeds and sowing seeds, and the sound of chickens and dogs barking can be heard from far away from the village.
Suddenly there was a loud and crisp eagle cry in the sky to break the peace, the people who were busy in the field suddenly stopped the crops in their hands, even the strong cattle that cultivated the land also stopped, only to see a small size and even a little small eagle constantly hovering in the air, although the eagle is small, but it is very handsome, the tail is like a red fire, the body is as black as ink, and the wings are blooming like sharp blades faintly revealing cold light.
An old man walked out of the hut near the center of the mountain, beckoned to the sky, and the eaglet rushed down through the air, and fell softly on the old man's arm.
The old man stroked Kitty Eagle's head, and said indifferently, "Li Aman is here."
"What, Master Li?"
"Yes, Master Lee is back"
"It's been more than sixty years, has he finally come to see us again" Everyone looked surprised, because every time they came, they could bring something strange, and they didn't know what they would bring today. Only the old man was still like that, without the slightest expression on his face.
After a while, everyone saw an old man in a delicate navy blue robe in the distance, and a young man who folded a peach blossom branch and threw it around, but in their opinion, the young man was a little unconventional, and his parents had short hair, and he was dressed strangely, which was contrary to common sense.
The old man walked leisurely, and the young man followed in boredom, and the petals of the peach branches were whipped in the young man's hands.
There was no bridge above the lake, and the old man still walked forward leisurely, treading water, and Jiang Yao was stunned when he saw such a look, and scolded "stinky old man"
Immediately afterwards, I saw Jiang Yao lift the spiritual power of his whole body and send it into the soles of his feet, but the spiritual power had just been lifted and all dissipated, and after trying it a few times, it was all like this, and it had no effect at all.
And then the old man turned around and said, "Don't bother, spiritual power is useless here."
"It's useless? Then I'm leaving, bye-bye" Jiang Yao turned around and was about to leave, but before he took a few steps, a stick hit his head, and when he fainted, he heard the old man's scolding voice, "His grandmother's, I have to be rough with Lao Tzu"
Then I saw a handsome old man carrying a young man on the lake and swept towards the shore, and before he reached the shore, he saw many people of all ages gathered here, led by the old man who stood on the eagle with his arm.
The old man threw Jiang Yao on the shore and waved "big brother" to the old man on the shore
"Well, Aman is here," the old man nodded as if he didn't care at all.
The blind old man in Gulai Village is named Li Chuchen, and his nickname is Aman.
Li Chuchen looked slightly embarrassed and smiled dryly, "Come and see you, by the way, I'll give you a kid to relieve your boredom," he said, pointing to Jiang Yao, who had fainted with a gray face on the ground.
Suddenly, the old man looked at Li Chuchen with a fierce expression, and the wind suddenly broke out all over his body, and his frosty white hair and beard were like spiritual fluctuations, which made everyone retreat again and again, and Li Chuchen, who was on the other hand, did not have the slightest panic at this time, and calmly dealt with his four eyes without any escape.
The old man snorted heavily, and without giving him time to speak, he threw up his sleeves and left.
However, Li Chuchen's shout on the shore can still be heard from afar, "Make a deal, reach the demon god layer on his behalf, and I will promise you to release a few people."
The old man paused, then walked into the room again, closing the door to no one.
And Li Chuchen went back after the old man left, and after a few polite words with everyone, Jiang Yao was dragged away by a five or six-year-old child, his face was worn out, and Jiang Yao still slept like a dead pig and didn't wake up, the little boy was angry, Lord Li came back with such a dead pig?
Li Chuchen returned to the cave, and the moment he stepped on the ground, the skin that he was still looking at turned into the bad old man with rolling his eyes and full of rotten yellow teeth, groping his way home with a cane, pushing the door in, Li Yuyi was looking at the old man with a puzzled face, "Grandpa, where did you go just now?"
"Hey, it's not for your brother Jiang Yao," the old man shook his head and sighed.
"Brother Jiang Yao, didn't he go out with you, what about the others, why didn't he come back?"
"He's going back to school, he's here to see us, don't worry about him, he's so good" The old man's empty eyes looked west.
And Li Yuyi didn't think much about it, and then answered with an "oh"
After all, there is nothing here that his brother Jiang Yao can be nostalgic for, rather than staying here, it is better to go back to school and read more or something, maybe he will be very lonely, after all, no one has been with him for many years.
Jiang Yao, who was covering the back of his head, sat up slowly, and couldn't help grinning and scolding, "Dead old man, Lao Tzu won't let you go"
"Are you scolding Master Li?" asked the little boy sitting on the bench behind him with his eyes twinkling, his hands on the table with his chin propped up and tilting his head.
The sudden sound made Jiang Yao startled, and when he saw that it was a child, he breathed a sigh of relief, "You little kid is going to scare me to death, you don't even move, it's like a ghost." ”
"I asked you if you were scolding Master Li?" the little boy asked Jiang Yao again unyieldingly, his eyes serious and serious.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Yao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then asked cautiously, "Is the Master Li you said the one who brought me with you?"
"Otherwise, I'll ask if it's or not," the little boy gave him a blank look, and his tone was already a little impatient.
Jiang Yao looked at the little boy sitting behind him, stood up and looked at the little boy, and finally came to the conclusion that no matter how you are a child after all, you still want to beat the master, and then raised his head and said fearlessly, "Yes and like..."
Before the next word could be spit out, I saw that the little boy sitting opposite suddenly rolled up a gust of wind on his body, and a punch was blasted out, Jiang Yao's body flew upside down several meters away like a kite with a broken line, and finally the boy said "good scolding" before leaving
And Jiang Yao, who slowly got up in the middle of the ruins, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he suddenly jumped like thunder and scolded, "You little kid looking for death"
Although he can't use his spiritual power now, his strength is still very strong, but how could he suffer such a big loss in a fifty or sixty-one punch, Jiang Yao was puzzled.
Suddenly, the boy flashed over from outside the door again, with an evil smile on his face, and suddenly stretched out his right hand to startle Jiang Yao and resisted with his elbow, but after waiting for a long time, there was no response, he slowly opened his eyes and looked obliquely from his elbow, only to see a small note handed over by the boy's hand, which read, "Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid"
"That dead old man in your mouth let me hand it over to you" Seeing Jiang Yao pick up the note, the boy walked out of the door, and his voice came slowly.
Jiang Yao looked at this note, his brows were tightly locked, and he had no clue, "What does this old man mean, and what kind of place is this?"
What Jiang Yao didn't see was that there were three small words written on the back, "Save your life"
Jiang Yao walked out of the door, only to see that the people coming and going were all busy, Jiang Yao wanted to talk without empty reason, and suddenly he saw a strange scene, one by one children actually carried a thousand catties of bronze tripods to race, including the boy who knocked him away with a punch just now.
"No wonder I can't resist it, everyone turns out to be an existence with innate divine power," Jiang Yao couldn't help but exclaim as he looked at the boy who was running in the first place.
The boys carrying the bronze tripod ran over and looked at Jiang Yao carefully, and suddenly everyone threw the bronze tripod beside Jiang Yao, and suddenly the earth trembled and the dust flew, and Jiang Yao kept coughing dryly with the dust.
"You just said what Master Li brought over?"
"He was brought back by Master Li, and he scolded Lord Li for being a dead old man."
"Hey, the good boy is not small, but he has a taste for me, who let him come back this time and didn't bring us fun, hey, you be my little brother, I will protect you from being bullied" The boys, you are one by one, and the last one is a little taller, and the boy with a scar on his forehead and right eye pointed at Jiang Yao, and said arrogantly.
Jiang Yao listened to the old-fashioned conversation of these little kids, and was slightly angry, "What the hell, you are the thing, your whole family is a thing, just you, the little kid who is just a mop high, still accept me as a little brother, are you living in a dream?"
Of course, he didn't say it, after all, the people standing in front of him were all freaks who could run around with the bronze tripod, and he was really afraid that he would crush him to death.
Seeing that Jiang Yao didn't answer, the boy with the scar on his right eye was a little angry, and was just about to step forward to give him a dismount, when there was a heavy cough behind him, and several people looked back, slightly stunned, and bent down respectfully and said, "Patriarch"
Jiang Yao saw that it was the old man who was the first on the other side of the lake at that time, wearing a black and red loose shirt at this time, with a piece of ribbed black jade around his waist, his face was still so plain but a little not angry and self-imposing, only to see the old man wave his hand, the boys retreated, and ran away with the bronze tripod in their arms, which really made Jiang Yao surprised and scared, what kind of thing is this.
"Keep up" The old man turned around and left, his voice slightly cold.
Jiang Yao was puzzled, but he also followed.
I saw that the patriarch stopped when he walked to the other side of the lake, and said to Jiang Yao behind him, "This is the Chongxuansheng Stream, and it is difficult to float even if the peach blossoms fall in the water."
Jiang Yao was puzzled and looked into the lake, only to see that the peach petals fell on the lake, as if there was a kind of gravity, forming a whirlpool and spinning it into the bottom of the lake.
The old man glanced at Jiang Yao coldly, "Although this water is mysterious and heavy, it does not devour people, and life and death are a thought."
Jiang Yao didn't understand what the old man meant and wanted to ask, but before he could say anything, a heavy kick came from behind him and kicked him into the bottom of the lake.
