Chapter 017: What I Saw and Heard in the Mountains
The night sky is like a navy blue curtain, hanging across the sky. The moonlight shines like silver on the ground, and it shines everywhere. The evening breeze is like a playful child, wandering wantonly among the trees on Mangdang Mountain. Qin Xuan and Li Zizheng carried a wooden bow on their backs and a torch and shuttled through the forest.
"Brother Li, why do you want to go up the mountain at night?" Qin Xuan dragged his somewhat tired body and asked with some dissatisfaction.
"Just follow along, don't make noise!" Li Zizheng didn't mean to stop at all, and said as he walked.
Qin Xuan hurriedly took a few steps, walked up to Li Zizheng and asked, "Okay, but you have to tell Zaixia, where are you going?" ”
As soon as Qin Xuan finished speaking, a black shadow flashed from the side and went straight to the two of them. Li Zizheng caught a glimpse of a wild boar, and hurriedly threw the torch in his hand at the wild boar, and said hurriedly: "It's a wild boar, hurry up to the tree!" ”
The galloping wild boar shifted its body slightly, which was able to avoid the attack of the torches, but it also allowed Qin Xuan and the others to breathe. Li Zizheng pushed Qin Xuan vigorously and shouted: "What is the hair, hurry up and go up the tree!" ”
Qin Xuan, who came back to his senses, also threw the torch at the wild boar in the same way. How could it be that Qin Xuan's hand was completely incomparable to Li Zizheng's, and the torch was still a foot away from the wild boar. The wild boar snorted and rushed towards Qin Xuan and the others angrily.
The wild boar drove straight in, and seeing that it was about to hit the two of them, Li Zizheng hurriedly pushed Qin Xuan away and roared: "Tell you to go up the tree!" ”
Qin Xuan took advantage of Li Zizheng's push to avoid the attack of the wild boar, and quickly turned around and ran towards the old tree on the side. The boar rushed too hard to the ground, dodged forward a few steps, and then gradually stopped. Li Zizheng was vigorous, pushed Qin Xuan, divided five by two, and when the wild boar just turned his head, he had already climbed to the tree on the other side.
Qin Xuan looked a little clumsy, and as soon as he climbed more than half a person's height with his hands and feet, the wild boar had already rushed over, and Qin Xuan hurriedly raised his feet in a hurry. The wild boar "banged", grazed Qin Xuan's buttocks, and hit the tree pole. The tree pole shook slightly, and Qin Xuan was too nervous, so he didn't grasp it steadily, and he actually slid down.
The wild boar hit the tree and shook the pig's head. Qin Xuan, who had slid down, stomped on the back of the wild boar with both feet, and with the help of the rebound force, he jumped upward.
As soon as the wild boar was conscious, he was stomped by Qin Xuan, and he was immediately furious, opened the pig's mouth, and pounced upward. The fangs were about to bite Qin Xuan's buttocks, and an arrow shot through the wild boar's head, and the wild boar fell to the ground weakly in an instant.
Seeing the wild boar fall to the ground, Qin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, let go of the tree pole, jumped down, and complained to Li Zizheng: "Brother Li, if you shoot an arrow earlier, you will almost be hit by a wild boar in the next place!" ”
Li Zizheng jumped down from the tree and said in a flat tone: "Shoot arrows with a bow, aim and shoot, how fast can you go!" Glancing at Qin Xuan, he said with a little anger: "I just asked you to go up the tree, what kind of flute did you make, and you also threw wild boars with torches, if you can throw it accurately, it will be counted!" ”
Qin Xuan smiled awkwardly and bent down to pick up the extinguished torch from the ground. While lighting it with a lighter, he said embarrassedly: "Isn't it the first time I've encountered a wild boar attack, and I'm inevitably a little nervous!" Seeing Li Zizheng's displeased expression, he said in a low voice: "If you had given you a big knife, you would have killed the wild boar a long time ago, and you wouldn't be so embarrassed!" ”
Li Zizheng couldn't help but be a little curious when he saw the lighter, he originally wanted to ask Qin Xuan, but he opened his mouth, stopped talking, and thought: Forget it, Xu is a secret thing! Hearing Qin Xuan's words, his face showed disdain, and he sneered: "The people of the Tang Dynasty are not allowed to carry knives, don't you know?" ”
Qin Xuan touched his head, his face flushed slightly, and he smiled: "It's just emotion, emotion!" ”
Li Zizheng picked up the wild boar on his back and said to himself: "Originally, I was worried that the master would come for a while, and there would be no food!" It's good now, it will be delivered to the door directly! In the faint moonlight, he looked around and said to Qin Xuan, "Let's go, I'll take you somewhere to spend the night!" ”
Qin Xuan grabbed Li Zizheng, who was about to leave, and said, "Is it far from here?" ”
Li Zizheng replied: "It's not far, just under the waterfall in front. ”
Qin Xuan's face was tired, and he asked softly, "How about resting for a while and then going?" ”
Li Zizheng looked at Qin Xuan's small body and muttered: "Literati are hypocritical!" ”
Although the voice was weak, it was silent, Qin Xuan heard it clearly, and said unconvinced: "Let's go, don't rest!" ”
Li Zizheng, who originally wanted to take care of Qin Xuan, was a little impressed by Qin Xuan's performance. "Heh, it is said that literati have arrogance, it seems to be true!"
Qin Xuan's face was gloomy, a little unhappy, he gasped roughly, and scolded secretly: Okay, you Li Zizheng, it's not right for me to rest, it's not right for me not to rest, why is your mouth so poisonous?
After walking for a while, Qin Xuan was already tired and out of breath, seeing that Li Zizheng's face still did not change and his heart was not beating, he was a little speechless, and secretly praised in his heart: This Li Zizheng must be an athlete in the future life. Suddenly, there was a faint sound of running water in my ears. Qin Xuan was overjoyed and asked, "Is it here?" ”
Li Zizheng didn't say anything, and went straight to the road, Qin Xuan was not interested, and he didn't speak anymore.
Walking hundreds of steps, Qin Xuan's eyes were greeted by a waterfall several zhang long. Under the waterfall was a river that was winding like a snake, and listening to the sound, he knew that the water was turbulent, Qin Xuan suddenly came to his senses and quickened his pace.
Li Zizheng walked to the trees next to the waterfall, turned back to Qin Xuan and said, "Take the torch, hurry up, and follow the light!" ”
When Qin Xuan followed Li Zizheng's instructions and walked through the trees, he found that the mountain under the waterfall was an inverted cone, and the waterfall and the mountain slowly formed a gap from top to bottom, and it was two feet long at the bottom. And there is also a trail, a few steps along the trail, a cave appears, Qin Xuan looked at it, and felt that it was not natural.
Li Zizheng walked into the cave, looked at Qin Xuan, who was looking around with a surprised face, and said with a smile: "This cave was dug by me and my younger brother, and our brothers often spend the night here. ”
Qin Xuan walked to a stone and sat down, panting like a cow and said, "Aren't you going to set a trap, why did you bring Zai Xia here?" ”
"Wait for someone! Li Zizheng sat on the stone, leaned against the cave, closed his eyes and said coldly.
Qin Xuan was exhausted at the moment, and fell asleep directly on the stone.
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside the cave, Li Zizheng was excited, quickly got up, woke up Qin Xuan and instructed: "Wait for the next family master Hui Yuandao to come, don't talk nonsense!" ”
Qin Xuan rubbed his eyes and subconsciously replied, "Got it!" ”
While speaking, a few people walked in, led by an old Taoist priest with white head and white hair, white beard and white eyebrows, deep eyes, thick eyebrows and straight nose, and a ** face, indescribably free and easy. Compared with the old Dao, the few people behind him looked a little cheesy, with blue-gray Taoist robes and expressionless faces, typical ascetics.
When the old Taoist priest saw Li Zizheng, he stroked his beard with a smile and walked forward. Li Zizheng's posture was restrained, and he bowed his head: "Disciple Zhenming has seen the master!" ”
"Hehe, Zhenming, get up quickly!" The old Taoist priest turned his head and saw Qin Xuan, still smiling calmly. "Who is this little friend?"
What's going on? Why did an old Taoist priest pop up again? Qin Xuan was thinking wildly in his heart, and he didn't hear the words of the old Taoist priest at all. Li Zizheng on the side hurriedly replied for him: "Master, this is Qin Xuan Qin Gongzi, this time he designed to lure Zhenjing, Qin Gongzi noticed Zhenjing's deception, and explained it to his disciples again and again!" ”
"Oh? It seems that Qin Gongzi is a good man! As he spoke, the old Taoist priest walked forward slowly. Walking in front of Qin Xuan, he saw Qin Xuan's face with a solemn expression. "You all go out, and you want to talk to Qin Gongzi for the sake of the teacher!"
Although Li Zizheng and the others were puzzled, they still answered, turned around and walked out of the cave.
Qin Xuan muttered in his heart: What is this old Taoist priest going to do, it doesn't seem to be good to look at that face, it won't be to kill me, I'm not full and have nothing to do, come here to join in the fun! Seeing Qin Xuan's frowning, the old Taoist priest smiled and said, "Qin Gongzi, don't be afraid, the poor Dao won't do anything to you?" ”
Qin Xuan forced his composure and said timidly: "I don't know what Daoist Qingyuan has to say to you?" ”
"Hehe, Qin Gongzi, if you come, you will be safe!" Qingyuan Daoist blurted out a seemingly inconsequential sentence.
The old Taoist's tone was calm, but Qin Xuan was even more confused. What does this mean, if it comes, it will be safe. Shouldn't I come to the cave? Raising his hand, he said, "Since the Dao Chief said so, then go down the mountain now!" ”
Qingyuan Dao Chang waved his hand and said: "Poor Dao doesn't mean this, Poor Dao means that since you are here, then you have to learn to integrate, what does Qin Gongzi think?" ”
Qin Xuan thought secretly in his heart: What do you mean, could it be that there are any special customs in this Chenghe Town? Puzzled, he asked: "I don't know where I think I am doing it and the customs here!" ”
Qingyuan Daoist shook his head and said, "Master Qin, don't be sloppy with the poor road." The poor way means that you are not a person of this world! ”
No way! How did this old Taoist priest know that I had come through time? Qin Xuan looked at Qingyuan suspiciously. Qingyuan Dao looked at Qin Xuan's eyes calmly, which made Qin Xuan's heart numb, and he pretended to be puzzled. "Daoist Qingyuan, I don't understand what you're talking about?"
"Since Gongzi Qin doesn't want to mention this matter, then he won't say much, but there is a sentence I hope Gongzi Qin will remember!"
"Dao Chief, please speak!"
"As the saying goes, there is no dependence, nothing can be born, and there can be nothing!"
Is there any dependence, nothing can give birth to something, and there is also something that can become nothing? What do you mean? This old Taoist priest doesn't explain how he speaks! Qin Xuan thought for a long time, but after all, he couldn't figure it out, and asked, "Dao Chief, forgive me for being stupid, can you elaborate on it!" ”
"Heavenly Dao has its own trajectory. Although Qin Gongzi is a person who rebels against the sky, he must also know the truth of going with the flow! ”
After talking for a long time, I was told not to tamper with history! However, this old Taoist priest can see that I am crossing, a little evil? Looking at Qingyuan Daoist with a frown, Qin Xuan's heart fluctuated. "How does the Taoist know that he is a person who rebels against the sky?"
"The so-called everything has a root, people also have a liferoot, the child's liferoot is abnormal, faintly revealing a life that is incompatible with this world! In the future, Childe must act in accordance with the way of heaven, and may be able to merge into the world! ”
Qin Xuan listened to the words of Daoist Qingyuan and fell silent. For a moment, I couldn't help but feel a little dazed. Qin Xuan thought in his heart: Crossing this matter is against the sky, since I can cross it, can't I dominate one side like the flow of blood? There is no dependence, nothing can begot, and there is nothing can be changed! Does it mean that history has been tampered with, and I will not exist?
Seeing the distant Dao Chang again, Qin Xuan felt a trace of gratitude......
