9. Fat Man (II)

Li Ci's pale face was not because of excessive physical exertion in resisting the resistance of the current, or because the pool water was cold and biting, but because he could clearly feel the turbulent fluctuations under the water in his position, and he had a judgment in his heart, it must be a huge living creature to a certain extent. And the purpose is clear: to chase after yourself.

A day ago, he was full of wine and meat in the yard, but now he is inexplicably in such an urgent situation, all because of his lack of greed.

Li Ci didn't have time to sigh, and his only thought was to hurry ashore.

But this is not easy, the spirit seedling red lotus is universal in the matter of ghosts and gods, but the physical effect of pure physical work in the yang world such as swimming is powerless, and it is very honest to pretend to be dead in the life pool.

This made Li Xi bitter, and he felt that the thing behind him was gradually approaching him, and he was naturally anxious.

fluttering his little arms and legs and struggling upwards, but just as he was about to get out of the water, he was still caught up by the thing behind him.

Li Ci only felt that a huge force suddenly came, and he couldn't resist it at all, and this small body was pushed up.

A few meters above the water surface of the pool, the wind was cool and the sky was high, which made Li Ci feel refreshed, and then the next moment he felt that he was next to a cool and slippery thing.

When I looked down, I saw a smooth black skin that looked like scales.

With a stirring in his heart, Li Xi, who had an empty head, came back to his senses in an instant and suddenly raised his head.

A pure black turtle with only a small part of the water exposed, and thick and slippery moss aquatic plants growing on top of the tortoise shell, like a boulder piled up at the bottom of Dongting Lake.

At this time, Li Xi's hand was on its neck, looking at its head about the size of his own head, and its body, which was estimated to be larger than a small fishing boat.

Li Ci was shocked, if this was thrown into Changbai Mountain in his previous life, it would definitely be a rare thing that could overshadow the water monster that could catch the wind and shadows.

This place is only a day's distance from the remote and barren White Village, if such a big Ao that will be regarded as auspicious by the emperor spreads the rumors, then I don't know how many big officials and nobles will flock to come. Even if a big businessman hears the news, he will not let go of this livestock.

When the time comes, I don't know how many people who are living in peace will suffer

That is, the people of several villages in this vicinity are too pure, believe in retribution, know how to be in awe, if it is not really impossible to make a living, they will never come inside, and the place where this waterfall is hidden, it is too hidden like a labyrinth to find.

Li Ci was still thinking about something there and not, and the big turtle was breathing, and the black head shining in the twilight sun had already turned to Li Ci

There was a curious look in his eyes, but there was no ferocity of a beast.

It's a little bit cute and kind like a baby.

When Li Ci saw this, he was also worried in his heart, and he only hoped that this kind of big turtle had already passed through human nature, and it would not hurt people for no reason.

Try to stabilize your body, adjust your breathing steadily, show that you have no malicious intentions, and while looking at the distance between yourself and the river bank at the moment, it is estimated that if you jump off the back of the turtle, it will take about seventy or eighty breaths to rush ashore.

didn't know the speed of the turtle, and Li Xi was reluctant to rush away

I saw that the turtle stretched out his head and gently rubbed Li Ci, without the slightest malice. Li Ci stretched out his hand and stroked its head, the turtle did not hide, just like a little rabbit, it was very docile. Li Ci also muttered in his heart, looking at the appearance of the guy, eighty percent of them don't eat people......

At this time, the red lotus that was originally in the turtle life pool came out again, exuding bursts of soft aura, walking through the meridians of Li Xi's arms, and then spreading from the fingertips to the big turtle.

The big turtle, which was already obedient, felt this inexplicable breath, and actually revealed a happy and cheerful look in his expression.

He raised his head and opened his mouth and called softly.........

"Meow ......"

The sound is not small, but it is negligible compared to its large body. And this strange cat-like voice made Li Xi stunned.

And the real drama is just beginning.

A few small beasts ran through the woods on the shore to bring up some movement of the trees, and then watched a monkey climb up a large tree. This seems to be an ordinary thing in Li Xi.

The big turtle seemed to be frightened, and it made a rapid sound

"Meow, meow, meow" kept calling, the huge body kept moving, obviously scared, but the cold pool water was constantly drenched on Li Ci under the activities of the big turtle, although he was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, and the cheap straw sandals had long been soaked, but the cold feeling was really uncomfortable, and Li Ci was really worried that he would fall.

had to look like a shipwrecked captain sticking to the broken ship, constantly swaying from side to side.

In the end, he was so uncomfortable that he took off his straw sandals and threw them at the hateful turtle that was looking at the turtle in the middle of the trees.

"Squeak ,......"

Because it was full of water, the straw sandals weighed a few pounds, and they were quite far away, but the strength of Li Ci's flying knife was very good, although there was not much strength left, and the straw sandals had no strength to fly to the shore, but they still hit the monkey impartially, and the little animal fled in a hurry, not knowing where to go......

The big turtle that was afraid of monkeys was originally a weak and amiable creature, and at this moment, he was even more excited to Li Ci's affectionate "meow meow" several times.

Li Ci appeased it, pointed to the waterfall, pointed to the deep pool, and then pointed to himself, and measured the outline of a fat man around his body.

The turtle really understood, and began to sink slowly, Li Ci was startled, and hurriedly stopped, with the depth of the pool of water that he had just experimented, if it was really in the end, his small body bones could not stand the water pressure.

Li Xi pointed to the waterfall, the big turtle nodded in understanding, slowly swam towards the waterfall, approached the front and back, and retreated, and then finally took out some domineering energy worthy of its fierce appearance, and crashed towards the curtain of the Nine Heavens Milky Way.

In an instant, at the moment when crossing the waterfall, the cry of the big turtle "meow" had not stopped, and Li Ci had already heard a loud and depressed complaint: "Fat turtle, why did you crash in from here again and wet my book......"

Li Ci opened his eyes and looked at the other side of the world, which was a big cave that was so wide that it didn't look like it, and it was a little darker than the outside.

In the corner of the big hole, there were stacks of books piled up into the hill, and the fat man I met in the wooden house was sitting on the edge of the mountain of books, holding a book

There was a lone lamp lit on the side, and the light swayed with the collision of the big turtle, but it was never extinguished. Like a ghost shaking in the darkness, Li Ci looked at the fat man just now, and actually leaned against a huge black and shiny animal skin, and then looked closely, it was a pitch-black lion, and his two paws were playing with the fat man's inkstone.

The snow-white fox sat on top of the lion's head, bouncing around.

And the big turtle just blocked Li Xi's way.

Li Ci's heart was slightly bitter, this mysterious fat man with strong luck would rather drink the wine than avoid the past, and refused to face each other head-on, he was really jealous, and at this moment, he hit other people's territory, a lion, a turtle and two giant beasts in front and behind, it was simply the worst situation.

The left hand quietly untied the knife tied to the right arm, and made a defensive posture, preparing for the opponent's sudden attack.

Thinking that this fat man was a scholar whose combat effectiveness was basically negligible, Li Ci had already prepared to capture the king, but he didn't want the fat man to look at Li Ci who quietly held the knife in his hand after the initial shock, and actually had a depressed face, showing an expression similar to that of his dead parents, and then quickly turned into a puzzled face.

"I saw just now that you are not an ordinary person, how can those country hunters have such a temperament, although I don't believe in such a thing, but this kind of beautiful and clear appearance, it really won't be a country boy......"

After all, that little girl stole a pack of antidote from me last time before leaving......"

Although Li Ci was inexplicable, he was still waiting for him.

But the fat man completely ignored Li Xi's existence and still talked to himself.

"But it's not right, I've changed the way I came, it's not the original gossip array, or the girl came by herself, and I have to think about it for a while, how did you come over?"

Li Ci still looked at the fat man who was talking to himself and was silent.

"Which family are you from Youzhou? Liu Yu? Gongsun Chan? It's not like it......"

Li Ci's expression was slightly moved, and he looked at this fat man seriously.

"No, no, no, that little girl's character will never be willing to talk to such a big family,

For what, she wouldn't push her Uncle Pang into the fire pit, at most she would find the county level... I will never pull out any person above the county guard, otherwise I will not be at peace......

Which insightful and courageous little county man sent his own sons and nephews? I'm not afraid to die in the mountains........."

The fat man chattered for a long time before he finally turned his gaze to Li Ci, and smiled helplessly:

"What did Kong Ming ask you to do? …… Can you kill that animal? ”

Li Xi was stunned and shocked, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he spit out words that were connected into a sentence dryly

"I ...... Only...... It's a hired hunter......"

The fat man instantly exploded his hair and stared blankly at Li Ci

Fingers trembling and pointing at Li Xi...... For a long time, he held back a happy smile, and was happy to spit out a sentence: "Wonderful...... I'm not lonely tonight."

Then he stood up in high spirits, shook the hem of his Confucian clothes, looked unfathomable, and said loudly beyond the waterfall

"I am Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan, sitting alone in the green mountains, studying for twenty years, you can already regard me as an immortal...... Right now... It is fate for you and me to meet,...... Why don't you listen to me..."

The fat man began to talk to Li Xixu......

……

Li Ci asked himself that he had experienced countless mysterious things in his past and present lives, but the absurdity of this moment made him feel a sense of cold humor.

Pang Tong, Feng Xiao, plan to take Shu, the iron lock is coherent Chibi, and the last galloping Lu died in Luofengpo, leaving only the assumption that the descendants are endlessly full of regret......

But Li Qi dared to say that he was the most respected old man in the history department of the Chinese Department of Qingbei, and he did not dare to tell the students

"Let's assume that Pang Tong is a fat man who nagged when he saw people, and he was quite white...... I had a turtle, a fox, a lion, and that turtle would meow......"

However, as one philosopher said, "You never know how absurd history will be in the next moment......

In a huge cave, Li Xi sat side by side with a white fox and listened to a fat white man leaning against his black lion, "That was a few years ago......"

――

The fat man who calls himself Pang Tong tells a story.

"My teacher, Mr. Shuijing, originally lived in seclusion here in a beautiful paradise, reading and farming, I have been with me since I was about sixteen years old, reading through the group books, and listening to the teachings at any time......

And Kong Ming is a child raised by the master twelve years ago...... It's kind of like I've watched a little bit grow up......"

"And the three of them lived in that paradise in the first place."

Pang Tong spoke, pointing his finger at the three beasts.

Li Xi looked at them one by one, and everyone had a mixture of red and yellow luck, and the big turtle that survived for an unknown amount of time was pure yellow with a few traces of green silk, not an ordinary climate.

Pang Tong looked at him and looked at a few beasts thoughtfully, and then continued: "I think you can also see that these guys are all brought to the outside world can be called auspicious or demonic, not ordinary beasts, naturally live in a paradise that is not connected to the outside world, and they have long been psychic, and the three of my master and apprentice are also friendly and peaceful." ”

"But there was a tiger in that peach paradise that lived longer than this fat turtle, and he was obedient and ruthless, and often went out of the mountains to bite and kill countless people and animals......

I have told Master countless times that that place is not a place where mortals live for a long time, and leaving early is enough, Master has always been vague, only once he was drunk and said that Master said that my life and Kong Ming's life is too strong, if there is no such cave blessed land to raise Zangfeng, in the troubled times in the coming days, it will definitely not end well, and it will be difficult to live a full life......

Kong Ming didn't believe in this god and ghost since he was a child, so he naturally wanted to go out after he was sensible, but where did he have a difficult master.

But in the end, the well water of the beast and the three of us did not interfere with the river water, and with this sunspot to protect them, the three of us did not have any worries about their lives......

Pang Tong patted the inky lion as he spoke, "But three years ago, that animal actually came back with a female doll in its mouth, obviously stockpiling blood and food for the winter......"

Pang Tong looked at the little fox and the lion with a soft expression:

"Tell me if you kid don't believe it...... These guys are all vegetarians, and they are very soft, even Kong Ming's child's cool character, and he will definitely take a ...... with him when he leaves."

"Alas...... But the tiger doesn't know why, it has always liked to live and eat blood, originally it went out to bite and kill a yellow sheep roe deer back, we still think that it is the nature of all things, heaven and earth are naturally ......"

"But I don't know when, this tiger actually began to eat people, since that day dragged back to the girl, the eyes gradually turned red, and then gradually wandered towards the place where the three of us lived, one day I came back from fetching water, the tiger seemed to stare at me and smiled...... And then he raised his bloody paws at me."

When Pang Tong said this, the flesh of his whole body trembled slightly, obviously remembering it vividly.

Then I went back and told me about it, and even the master was uneasy, and he made a fortune all night, and then sighed... Told us to pack up and leave overnight.........

Sure enough, that night the moon was full, and this beast rushed into the place where we lived like crazy, and somehow, his strength increased greatly, and he was very fierce, and he was only a little inferior to the sunspot, but he was not an opponent at all......"

In the end, the three of us could only take advantage of this fat turtle to escape by water, and finally came up from the cold pool by the waterfall, but the master was weak and old, and he couldn't stand such a toss, so he actually went......

When this sensual fat man said this, his nature made him cry for a while, and he wet the Confucian costume, and then wiped his tears and continued to say to Li Xi:

"Then I will keep the spirit with Kong Ming for three years...... She's never used to my temperament...... I don't know how many times I quarreled.

During the three years of the wake of the soul, she actually read all the books I had read for twenty years......

And then go away......

I used to come here a few times, saying that I wanted to kill that animal to avenge the master, but before the master died, he ordered me not to enter the Taoyuan Cave again, otherwise he would not be blind to death, how dare I not listen, and I have had a fight with Kong Ming since then......"

"Therefore, she is accustomed to seeing me as unpleasant, and she has to do everything right, and I take care of these poor little things according to Master's instructions, so she has to take Xiaobai and Heizi away to eat cabbage.

I studied behind closed doors, and she began to spread my whereabouts to many powerful people in Youzhou, and now the real estate and manor of the family outside the mountain is never good to go back...... Only the old servants of the family brought food, water and clothes to the mountain hut every half month......"

"And the last time she came, she said that even if she didn't go into the cave, she could still break the animal into pieces......"

"I naturally don't want her to mess around, that animal is really fierce, she is a child, where can I rest assured, she said angrily, that animal is not dead, she will not enter this mountain again, but she can still kill it......"

"Thinking about it this way, she must be borrowing outsiders to help, and I am even more unhappy, she is a child, is a seedling seedling, after all, it is still too tender, and a bunch of old foxes in Youzhou, I am more worried...... Although she hurt the yellow scarf recently, she was trusted by Liu Yu, but ...... Is it a blessing or a curse......

"After all, she is just a child, a child about your age, who does everything according to her own willfulness, and rarely cares about or fears people or things.

At the beginning, in order to gamble with me, he helped Liu Yu strangle a few yellow scarves around the road, but they were all people who were driven to a dead end......"

"But the master went, who cares about her......"

As he spoke, the fat man burst into tears again.

It has the signature style of Uncle Liu Huang in later generations. "Originally, the road to here was changed, if it wasn't for someone who was proficient in Dunjia, he wouldn't be able to get through.

And according to the old way, it is rare to encounter the wooden house at the time when I calculate the most fatigue of the human body, or the seven or eight fruit trees that I have done my hands and feet along the way, and the clear spring that has been drugged, and it is really impossible for anyone to come.

But seeing that you guys planted it in the first place, I'm still amazed at how much effort you put into it......"

"Huh? How did you find here? ”

The fat man asked, sobbing.

Li Ci obsessive-compulsive disorder listened to every word of Pang Tong seriously, and forcibly suppressed all kinds of surprises and doubts that did not conform to his historical cognition.

Then try to extract as much useful information as possible from his pile of nonsense.

But he was still very puzzled, and asked, "Why do you say this to a person like me who is meeting for the first time...... Although the exchange is shallow and deep, you and I have nothing to deal with."

The fat man on the opposite side with tears on his face showed an innocent smile and said: "Because it is rare to see a handsome child who is about the same age as Kong Ming, I feel close, besides, these things I said, how can one of them be disgraceful, then what can not be said to people......"

"I have had so much energy in my life, and for so many years, I have been worthy of doing things and being a good person, and I can't be afraid of who calculates whom, because Master told me that I can't get involved in world affairs before I am thirty years old, so I am quite idle except for studying......

…… But with that remaining energy, I can deduce the general trend of the world again, let ten thousand, one hundred, even if one of the people survive in the troubled times in the future,...... It's also good......"

In the cave here, a lonely lamp like a fire was on, and Li Ci felt that Pang Tong's white and fat face was filled with pure clean compassion

……

……

……

……

Wu San searched for the map mark, and finally stumbled to find the big waterfall with the turbulent water when it was dark.

Follow the instructions to open the bag: in addition to the towel and silk is also wrapped in a sealed clay jar. and a few pillars of incense

"Pour half of the contents of the mud pot into the pool, then light a pillar of incense and wait, wait until the incense is a third of the burning, turn around, return to the eagle's tail peak and light another pillar of incense and wait, and pour another third on the largest locust tree..."

……

……

This time is different from the past, the huge brocade silk is full of splendid small characters, countless details are quite cumbersome, but it makes Wu San happy in his heart, because according to what is written above, he Wu San gradually went out of this mountain, little by little towards safety, according to what is written above, to the border, the animal that this noble man wants to come out, and there are also elite soldiers from the government to respond, and he Wu San does not need to fight for his life.

I was extremely glad in my heart, and naturally I was careful and meticulous in doing it.

Carefully poured the fishy liquid in the jar along the surface of the pool, and then lit an incense, looking at the light of the fire in the night, Wu San felt quite difficult in his heart

However, one-third of the pillar incense, Wu San felt that most of his life was long. I finally managed to get it, and I breathed a sigh of relief like a catastrophe, and I didn't want anything except a few tips, lit a torch, and ran straight to the way I came.

It was also a loss that he was anxious, and the night was dim, so he never saw Li Ci's luggage left on the shore,......

And half an hour after he ran out, the unfathomable pool of water began to surge, and then the surface of the water exploded like broken glass. The waves are ten meters high.

A huge pure white tiger leaped out of the water, its limbs thick and powerful, like four large straight pillars, supporting its straight back, and its fur was pure white, and not half of the hair was of different color.

Only the royal lines on the forehead are black and red.

A pair of eyes full of fierceness, like two fires in the night.

It sniffed around, but did not find anything it perceived, and suddenly became angry, roaring and roaring in the sky, the sound was like rolling thunder, and it was as fierce as this, and the beasts and birds that foraged for food at night for several miles in the mountains were nested on the side like ordinary kittens and dogs, trembling.

Wang Wei is supreme

The guy roared for a while, calmed down, looked up into the distance, sniffed his nose, shrunk his body, and stretched his limbs hard, and was so agile that he jumped far beyond the ape's leap and soared a few meters into the air. A creeping and trembling hyena nearby was unlucky, and was stepped on by a tiger's paw when it landed, and actually broke its spine, and died instantly, and the blood of its internal organs flowed all over the ground, and tomorrow it will be found that its crow or vulture is blessed.

And the black lion in the waterfall stood on its hair when the tiger roared, and looked like its dignity had been provoked, but it did not dare to roar in response to the tiger's departure.

As for the snow-white purple-eyed fox, he was even more unbearable, holding his head with his front paws and rubbing against Li Ci next to him.
