Chapter Forty-Eight: Chishui
In the tasteless food, the doctor must not bandage the wound on his shoulder, and he is still asleep.
"This injury doesn't matter. The top priority is to try to get out the 'plain hand' in his body, otherwise he is afraid that his life will still be in danger. The doctor can't think of a thing, "Now everything is ready, but the 'worm letter' hasn't been obtained yet, right?"
Li Ge took out the pendant from his bosom and handed it to the doctor: "Mr. Yi, take a look at whether this is the thing." ”
The doctor was not allowed to take it, so he turned it around and put it on his nose and sniffed it.
"Brother Li, where did you get this thing from?"
"I snatched this from that Yingxie. Li Ge explained the scene of the competition with the abandonment in detail to the audience.
The doctor nodded: "In this way, this is the 'insect letter' without a doubt." It is with this thing that the Ying Xie controls this abandoned action. ”
Hearing that Li Ge had obtained the "Worm Letter" from the Ying Association, everyone was extremely surprised.
"The most important thing at the moment is to find Miss Yu'er, and the Chongming tail Ling is still in her place. As soon as he thought of this, Mo Li suddenly became worried, "It's just that I've been looking for her for nearly half a month, and I haven't heard from her." How's that okay?"
"If you want to find Miss Yu'er, I may have a way. Peng Dazui on the side suddenly interjected.
"What can you do?" Mo Li was a little curious.
Peng Dazui touched the back of his head and cracked his small mouth: "You forgot? ”
Mo Li remembered the wooden board that Peng Dazui gave him that day: "You mean, Miss Yu'er also has that wooden board?"
"Exactly. "The board given to the distinguished guest was made of flint branches, and when the mother tree was struck by a secret method, the board would glow with fire. On that day, Peng Dazui wanted to find a stranger, and this was how he passed the news.
"I know that the wooden board can convey news, can it also find people?" Mo Li was still worried, "Have you ever explained to Miss Yu'er how to use that wooden board?" If Miss Yu'er didn't pay attention, or didn't know how to use it at all, how would she know that I was looking for her?"
"This ...... I seem to have forgotten to explain it to her. Peng Dazui thought for a long time and stomped his foot, "Then you can only use that way." Wait for me. ”
Peng Dazui turned around and went out, pushed the door in again with half a burnt incense, and there were nine chubby children in Tsing Yi who looked like him outside the door.
"But with the smell of the plank, the children can see it. Lao Mo, I'll go back when I go, and I'll leave it to you here. ”
"Shopkeeper Peng, where are you going?" It was Han Xuzi who came, and when he heard that Li Ge had snatched it back, he came over to take a look.
"Old Daoist, are you here? Lao Peng is going to find Miss Yu'er. Mo Li had no intention of hiding it.
"Oh, it's not very peaceful in this Yuanyang country now...... I'm going with the shopkeeper Peng, so I can take care of it, how about it?" Han Xuzi turned to Peng's mouth.
"This-" Peng Dazui thought to himself: We are flying around, moving freely, and keeping up with these Kunlun disciples, we are afraid that something will get in the way.
Han Xuzi seemed to see through Peng's big mouth: "Shopkeeper Peng doesn't need to worry, you can find it in your own way." If necessary, leave clues, and my Kunlun disciples will answer behind your back, and will never hinder your actions. ”
"That's very good!" Mo Li saw that Peng Dazui was still hesitating, so he made a look and agreed for him, "But if the chief of the dust road is willing to go with him, it is more secure." Kunlun Feicha, a thousand miles a day, if it goes well, I am afraid that I will come back in a day or two. ”
"So let the children search everywhere, and I will follow you with you. Peng Dazui knew that both Xuzi and Mo were not very relieved, and they no longer insisted.
Let's say that Yu'er is tasteless from food, and she is at a loss and doesn't know where to go.
Thinking of Kunlun, the sea of sinking sand, the same cave mountain of birds and mice, and the simple and stubborn black boy, Yu'er will always have a trace of sweetness in her heart, and she can't help but want to laugh, but every time she laughs, tears come down with laughter.
"I hate it, I hate it! I said that I would come to this imperial capital together, but now I don't even see a human figure!"
Thinking of asking her brother again, thinking of the "mother worm", and thinking of the mother she had never met, Yu'er's heart became more and more empty and lost.
"Who am I, and why have I been lonely since I was a child, and now I have to endure so much pain and parting? What about the so-called chance of the ancestors? What about hope? Is it just that the people I care about give their lives in vain?"
I suddenly thought of what the fish in the sea of sand said that day, the ancient shrine under the Sanzhu jade tree on the bank of the Chishui River contained the secret of his life experience. As soon as his mind moved, the "broken house" whined, and Yu'er had already come to one place.
It was a cliff, and the yellow water was surging under its feet, rushing out from between the chaotic stone cliff walls, and the turbidity waves were emptied, and the flood peaks were rolling, making a deafening sound. A thousand-zhang high waterfall hangs down on his side, and his eyes are full of water droplets, such as fluttering and flying flowers, dancing out of seven-colored neon in the sun.
"Babbling and squeawing - ho ho and babbling - ho and ”
Suddenly there was a rough trumpet sound in his ears, splitting the rolling river and echoing in the deep valley. When I looked closely, there were wooden rafts flying down the river in the water. Every time after rushing out of the rocky beach, the people in the line must bow down and bow down in unison to this cliff.
Yu'er turned around, only to find that at the height of the cliff, a lonely tree was born, the body was white, the main trunk was divided into three branches, the leaves were curled like fists, and the light was faintly visible in the daytime.
"Could this be the three-beaded jade tree?"
Yu Er looked again, is facing the tree under the cliff to dig out a niche, there is really a small ancestral hall, green tile stone platform, very old.
"No wonder the one who let the row wants to bow down here. Yu'er was curious, "I'm going to see, who is this worshipper?"
There is a sitting statue placed in the ancestral hall, I don't know who carved it in what year, although it is painted mottled and moss-marked, but it is still expressive, and the eyebrows are like life. The more Yu Er looked at it, the more surprised she became: Why is this sitting statue so similar to me?
Yu Er was stunned, and suddenly heard someone on the river shouting: "Look, look, the river god has appeared, the spirit has appeared......"
When I turned around, on several wooden rafts in the river, a group of men kowtowed like pounding garlic, and the first old man actually shouted with tears: "Thank you to the river god and sympathize with my little people." Give me food and clothing, and bless my children and grandchildren. When it comes to difficulties, the wind and water are smooth. The sacrifices are endless, and thank you again......"
"Look at their appearance, are they actually worshipping me?" A strange feeling suddenly rose in Yu Er's heart, a little confused, and a little proud.
"I stand on this cliff in an inaccessible place, and in front of this shrine, no wonder they think I am the river god. It's just that the sitting statue of the river god has been here for a long time, but why does it look the same as me? Could it be that what the strange fish said is true?"
At this moment, a gust of wind passed, and the three-beaded jade tree trembled. The leaves that had been curled together unfolded one after another, revealing shining things the size of pearls in the middle, full of splendor of the trees, illuminating the canyon transparently. Yu'er was stunned.
The light on the tree faintly reflected a figure through the mist, which seemed to be the person who thought about it day and night.
"Abandon brother, why are you here?" Yu Er stretched out his hand to grab the man, but the man looked back and smiled at her, beckoned to her, and disappeared into the void.
Yu Er unconsciously followed the direction of his beckoning, but he stepped into the air and fell off the cliff.
Yu Erdanjue felt that there was wind in his ears, and the waterfall only leaked into the air, and countless pictures flashed back in front of him.
She saw a bead, which was not dazzling, but the light and shadow flowed inside, revealing all kinds of life and evoking a million feelings.
This bead is so lovely that she secretly took it from the sleeve of a person and took it through the layers of mountains.
I only hold it in my hand, hide it in my chest, rub it day and night, and play with it night and night.
Until one day, a military disaster fell from the sky, the village burned down, and the people fled.
She accidentally learned that this tiger and wolf army was actually recruited by Nazhu.
She took the pearl in her arms, led the murderer to this red water, and leaped down herself.
Unable to find the pearl, the murderer was not reconciled, and wanted to cross the river and kill all her people.
The bead gave her magical powers, pulling up the waves of the river, submerging the ship and holding the murderer back to the other side.
She went upstream, went through countless tribulations, passed through the ninefold heavenly waterfall, came to the lotus pond, and turned into a golden lotus. Finally, one day, the lotus flower was picked, and she fell to the ground and was reincarnated as a human being.
But the pearl turned into a jade tree on the cliff wall by the river, looking at the eternal river, listening to the sound of the waves.
One day, a young man came to the tree, and the tree rejoiced and shone with brilliance, and the sun and moon appeared on the young man's body, and he sang in harmony with the tree. Nazhu knew that the opportunity had come, and jumped down from the tree, turning into a mark on the top of the young man's head. The young man's face changes, aging, rebirth, and growing up, but the mark is always with him. Until one day, the boy became like this: his skin was as rough as a grain of sand, his body was as vigorous as a little leopard, his eyes were deep, and he became an abandonment if he could fit a starry sky!
The pearl was now in the abyss of nothingness at her feet, and the light and shadow were tactfully low, as if it was heartfelt, and summoned her.
She couldn't control herself anymore and jumped down into the light......
Yu'er woke up suddenly, it was a big dream. I don't know when she fell asleep in front of the shrine, and I don't know how long she slept.
Everything in the dream is vivid, like sand sinking in water, once it is raised, it will be clear and inseparable.
But there was a very strong voice crying out in her heart:
"Abandon—abandon my brother, he's still alive! I will find him anyway. ”
When her mind moved, she was already in that "tasteless food".
"Miss Yu'er, are you back?What about Fat Peng?He didn't find you?" Mo Li was very excited when he saw Yu'er, "Brother Abandonment is not dead." I'll go and call that old monster and save him with you!"
Yu Er rushed to the bed, and the swarthy young man who was sleeping in a groggy state had a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Yu'er's nose was sour, and tears came out of her eyes: "Abandon my brother, you hold on for a while." Yu'er is back!"
