Chapter 57 (1) Fallen leaves return to their roots
1
Walking down Mofeng Mountain, turning two corners along the mountain road, I saw the shadow of the old pavilion village, which was not far away. Everyone raised torches and walked along the mountain road at night, and when they arrived at Ah Hu's house, it was already the second half of the night.
Hu's parents and family were busy preparing meals for the guests and treating the wounds of the injured gods, and Hu Shu said: "This man was not a good person in the first place, but he had already said that he would change his evil and turn to good, and he was chased and killed by robbers, so we saved his life." He told everyone about the immortals, as well as the story of encountering bandits in the mountains and being chased up to Mofeng Mountain.
"This is as it should be," said Hu's father, "and if a person has good thoughts, he must promote them."
The fairy was fed some hot porridge and was already sober, he couldn't help but thank Hu Xuan and the others, A-Ning took the "Xuanyuan Sword" and handed it to him, "Here, your knife, when the bandits were running away, they ran away, and we picked it up on the road." ”
The fairy took the knife, shook his head, and handed it to A-Ning, "Give it to you, my life is saved by you, since you have chosen it, it means that it is related to you, you can keep it, this is indeed a good thing." ”
Hu Shuan returned the knife to the immortal and said with a smile: "We know that it is a good thing, but we saved you because of a coincidence, how can we covet other people's things?" So what have we become? ”
The fairy just shook his head, "No, this sword, it's not mine, I also got it because of a strange thing, since I got this sword, I want to get into trouble, I want to use him to cheat, cheat people out of money, if it weren't for you to save me, I might die on the road of deceiving people, and in the future, I will never use it again." You are virtuous people, and it should be in your hands. ”
The words of the fairy are quite reasonable, Ah Hu's father took the knife and admired it for a while, and said, "This is the knife of our Miao family." ”
"Yes," Hu Xuan said, "I can also see that this is not a sword, it is a Miao knife, and it is an old product before the Qing Dynasty, which is not only extremely sharp, but also very luxurious, and is a rare antique, very valuable." ”
"Good things, virtuous people live in it," the fairy insisted on not accepting this seedling knife, "I have figured it out, relying on my own ability to eat is the right way." If I take it, I will only make trouble for myself and give it to you, which is the best destination for it. ”
"But why do you call it Xuanyuan Sword? Is it to bluff? Aning asked.
"No," said the fairy, "I got it, and it was also by chance, once I was harvesting crops in the fields outside the village, and I met an old Taoist priest, who was very old, always in his seventies, dressed in rags, with a white beard, and strangely enough, the old Taoist had blood stains on his body, and begged me to hide him, saying that there were robbers chasing him behind him. ”
Hearing that it was a Taoist priest, Hu Xuan remembered what Shi Suo said about meeting a lot of Taoist priests in Wuhan, and those Taoist priests of the "Immortal Society" were very annoying. He thought about it again, what Shi Suo encountered was just a villain wearing a Taoist robe, not a true Taoist, and what the immortal said should be two different things.
The fairy continued: "I didn't want to care about him at the time, but the old Taoist priest begged bitterly, and he said that there was a bad man behind him, very vicious, and if I saved him, I would definitely be rewarded." My heart softened, so I agreed to Lao Tao and led him into a nearby cellar, which is usually used by us to store vegetables and vegetables, which is quite hidden. Just hidden, sure enough, there were several people chasing after him, and the strange thing is that the people who chased the old Tao were also Taoist priests. ”
"Oh?" Hu Xuan, Ah Hu's father and others all paid attention, and Ah Hu's father asked, "Are they making internal commotion?" ”
"I don't know," the fairy shook his head, "those people, sure enough, are very vicious, and asked me if I saw an old Taoist walking by here, scolding and scolding, not at all like a Taoist priest, just like bandits, I said I didn't see it, and they chased after me in the distance." I also saved the life of the old man, but the old man died. I also blamed him for his bad life, and when I saw that the chasing fellows had gone far away, and went to the cellar to look for him, I found that he had been bitten by a poisonous snake. It was a very poisonous five-step snake, I didn't know what medical Tao, I helped Lao Dao squeeze the wound for a while, but he didn't take care of things, Lao Dao was old, he didn't last much for a while, and he fainted, I was also very scared, and quickly carried Lao Dao back to the village to find the snake doctor, but, did not rush, when the snake doctor came, he was no longer good, Lao Dao avoided the pursuers, but failed to escape his life. Alas, I blame my carelessness, the cellar has been deserted for a long time, and I didn't check it, and poisonous snakes came out. ”
"It's not your fault," Hu Xuan said, "You can help Lao Dao get out of danger, which shows kindness, as for the later encounter with poisonous snakes, it was an accident." ”
"I buried the old way, the things on his body, except for a few dollars, is this knife, in addition, there is a yellowed old paper, there are words on it, some words I don't know, only know nine of them, written: 'Xuanyuan sword, hidden behind the door, cottage treasure' nine words. I saw that there were three words 'Xuanyuan Sword' written on it, and I had heard the old man say that there was a very famous Xuanyuan Sword in ancient times, so I thought that this knife was the legendary treasure. ”
The nine words that the fairy said, so that Hu Xuan and others were incomprehensible, Hu Xuan asked the fairy to write these words, the fairy took a pen to write, but the words were "Xuan Yuan see, hidden behind the door, cottage treasure", Hu Xuan asked him repeatedly: "Is it really these words?" Is that piece of paper still there? You really didn't write it wrong? ”
The fairy scratched his head, "This...... I didn't know much about reading, but I remember that it seemed to be these words, and the paper was not found and I don't know where it was lost. ”
A few people present, except for Hu Bolt, there is not much ink, no one can see what the mystery of these words is, Hu Bolt said: "You see, if the gods are not mistaken, then these words are obviously wrong, if the name of the sword is written, then even if the person who writes is not very literate, it will not be the word 'sword' to write wrong, besides, the meaning of these words, if interpreted as a sword hidden behind the door, is a treasure in the cottage, too far-fetched, besides, in order to describe a sword, say' Hidden behind the door', it's unnecessary, these words are like a beginner's child, writing and playing. It doesn't make much sense at all, a veteran who has fled and carries a precious treasure knife on his back, and carries another note with him at all times, it doesn't make sense. ”
Everyone talked a few words, but they couldn't figure it out. A group of people were extremely tired, so they were all arranged by Ah Hu's father to lie down and rest. (To be continued.) )
