51. Huanxi Village Aunt
Early the next morning, on the Hutou Rock, Qingqing followed his senior brother and offered incense to the ancestors in the already dilapidated Fan Li Ancestral Hall.
This is probably the first ray of incense ushered in by this ancient shrine, which has collapsed most of it in more than 100 years.
Seeing that the ancestral hall was dilapidated to the point, Qingqing was also a little sad, when she was born, the Great Chu Dynasty had been destroyed, and she had never enjoyed the brocade clothes and jade food as a princess.
I don't even know my own background.
But now, her biological father has become a monk and forgotten Hongchen, and the originally prosperous Fan family has also died out in the war, and between heaven and earth, she is the only one left who has lasted for thousands of years.
It's like leaving the world independent, the loneliness born from the blood, so that the little sister who has always been full of vitality has no smile on her face.
"Don't think about it."
Yaoqin carried the Falling Moon Qin box on her back, reached out to hold Qingqing's shoulder, and she whispered:
"Things in the world are like this, but you are still here, Da Chu Zhong is good, and the Fan family still has hope of prosperity."
"But can I really sweep the world?"
Qingqing raised her head and looked at her sister, she said:
"I'm just an ordinary girl, some martial arts, but it's not strong, I haven't seen General Li Shouguo, so Li Baoguo is also stupid.
When he pledged his allegiance to me, I was at a loss as to what to do.
The matter of dominating the world is too far, and now that I think about it, it was also a whim when I responded to the Li family's request, although I promised my senior brother that I also had the heart to return the world to a peaceful and prosperous world.
But I can't even take care of myself.
How to take care of the world? ”
"I don't need you to take care of this world, silly girl."
Shen Qiu turned his head and said to Qingqing:
"The Southern Dynasty is chaotic, the Northern Kingdom is arrogant, the people of the world have passed more than 20 years of chaotic times, and they are all looking forward to the end of the troubled times.
You don't even need to do anything, just stand in front of them and give them a promise, a hope, and only a thousand pairs of hands will follow you and lift you up to the supreme throne of the world.
Qingqing, you have seen the Bodhisattva in the temple, you just need to be like her, just be a symbol.
The things of the world cannot be done well by relying on only one person.
Since it is the business of the people of the world, it is up to them to do it themselves, and you are like the outline of the ship, just guide them in a good direction. ”
"Is it really that simple?"
Qingqing looked at Senior Brother.
Shen Qiu shrugged his shoulders, threw the white monkey in his hand over his shoulder, and said:
"Anyway, it's definitely not as hard as you think."
"Squeak Squeak"
The white monkey screamed twice, and the emblem with the round square hole on its neck was also untied, and it held a purple wild fruit in its hand, and pointed to the misty mountains in front of it, and barked indiscriminately twice.
After seeing this Fan family emblem, it seemed to let down its guard against this group of outsiders.
This monkey must have seen the same pattern emblem somewhere, and is quite intimate with this emblem, so he will have such a reaction.
"Let's go."
Shen Qiu took a few steps forward.
Next, the mountain road was difficult, and the carriage could not enter, so it could only move forward on everyone's feet.
Fortunately, everyone who came was martial arts, even Yaoqin, who was the weakest, had a good hand to provish, and a powerful husband, so when he was tired, he let his husband hold and fly, which was also very easy and comfortable.
Everyone shuttled through the mountains and forests, relying on the little white cat like a clean street tiger, and no wild beast dared to block the way along the way.
"There are monkeys again!"
Qingqing's eyes were sharp, and after entering the deep mountain forest, she could see that there were white monkeys in the forest that were similar to guide monkeys, scurrying around them, and there were quite a few of them.
"It's a bunch of monkeys."
Zhang Lan, who was carrying the Xuanyu on his back, said:
"Monkeys live in groups, when I traveled the world, I also encountered such monkeys in Mount Emei, those monkeys, very wild.
Back then, Young Master Ben was not capable, and they robbed him of some dry food. ”
"The monkeys here are pretty good, too."
Xuanyu shook his head and said to Brother Zhang Lan, who was close to him:
"You see they all carry bamboo sticks, they are all monkeys who know martial arts, ordinary people come to this deep mountain, I am afraid that they will be beaten out by their sticks.
Bad luck, life is gone.
This Tao Zhu immortal is really interesting, domesticating a group of monkeys to protect the mountain, and he has a lot of ideas. ”
"Ordinary monkeys are all martial arts, and if there is a monkey king in the monkey group, I am afraid it will be even more powerful."
Xiao Tie carried a heavy sword on his back, and walked through the forest like a monster, and he said angrily with an urn:
"That little monkey, the speed of swinging the stick is only a little slower than Zhang Lan, this monkey king in the mountains, I am afraid that he has martial arts comparable to the ground list. It is said that monkeys are most like people, and this is true.
They are limited by talent, and they can't cultivate internal strength, if they have true qi to protect their bodies, this Tao Zhu Mountain is really a Jedi in the world. ”
"Shhh
Shen Qiu, who was walking in front of him, suddenly stopped, raised his left hand, and signaled the person behind him to stop.
In front of everyone, in the bamboo forest, there is a white mist fluttering, gathering but not dispersing, it seems to be the entrance of a valley, but the shadows are building, you can't see the road ahead, in the white mist, there are a group of monkeys hissing.
The guide monkey lying on Shen Qiu's shoulder also squeaked, as if calling in response.
After a while, a big man swayed out of the bamboo forest, like Tarzan of the apes, rolling in the air for a week, and landed steadily in front of everyone.
It's a big monkey.
When he stood up, he was as tall as Qingqing.
The most peculiar thing is that it is still wearing shabby clothes, just like a real person.
A pair of eyes, with a faint blue, with a halo of mind circulating in it, behind the mane, carrying a long bamboo stick, the style is simple, and inlaid with copper edge patterns, it is very good-looking.
This is obviously not a weapon that a group of monkeys can make.
Everyone looked at each other, and they all knew in their hearts that they had probably arrived at their destination.
"Squeak"
The little monkey stood up from Shen Qiu's shoulder, threw the round square hole emblem hanging around his neck to the monkey king in front of him, and shouted twice with his hands dancing.
The big monkey then threw the emblem, looked at it over and over, and then at the crowd.
It seemed to be a little irritable, scratched its neck, sat cross-legged on the ground and thought for a moment, then roared again, turned around and walked back to the bamboo forest, took a few steps, turned back again, and beckoned to the person behind it.
The meaning is obvious, keep up.
Shen Qiu walked forward, Xiao Tie and Zhang Lan followed behind, protecting the three of Yaoqin faintly, stepping into the white mist, Shen Qiu touched the sword jade, and the strange thing did not shake.
There is no aura here, and there is no immortal spirit.
It reassured him a little.
After walking in the white mist, everyone's eyes suddenly opened up, and a small valley was a thousand feet square, which appeared in front of them, like the size of a village, the terrain was flat, and there were some buildings.
At the edge of the valley, there are some abandoned stone monuments, standing at this high place, you can see that those stone monuments are scattered, faintly forming some kind of formation, but unfortunately the aura does not exist, the formation loses its magic, and it can no longer be hidden here.
But since there is a formation, it means that this is indeed a place of seclusion.
There is also a small waterfall that flows down the mountain wall in the valley, spanning the valley like a stream.
"This should be the real Huanxi."
Shen Qiu said to Qingqing beside him:
"The ancestor of your family, the Yue Nu Xi Shi, should have been born here.
It seems that I guessed right, senior brother, Fan Li is indeed an ordinary man, and the ancestral hall is built outside the mountain, but Xi Shi is not small, I am afraid that he is a person in the fairy gate. ”
The monkey king didn't make a sound, jumped on the branches, and swayed between the trees in the valley with flexible movements, leading everyone to the valley, and when they reached the outer buildings, the sharp-eyed Zhang Lan saw some tombstones.
Right next to the creek, there are quite a lot of tombstones, like a family cemetery.
Qingqing wanted to check, but was stopped by Shen Qiu.
Without the permission of the owner of this place, rashly checking the cemetery of other people's ancestors, even if Qingqing's surname is Fan, and the master of the valley is considered his own family, it is also a taboo thing.
"It's quiet."
Yaoqin looked at the well-repaired buildings around her, and she said with some concern:
"It seems that no one lives at all, could it be that this Tao Zhu Immortal family is also withering?"
"Someone's."
Xuanyu, who was lying behind Zhang Lan, pointed to the bamboo house in the front, and said:
"There is a medicine field there, someone must have cultivated it, there are people in this valley, at least one, ah, I saw it! There's a guy over there, like a girl. ”
Xuanyu's exclamation made everyone immediately speed up their pace.
In a short time, they came to the back of this quaint and quiet village, and before the hedged bamboo building, they also saw the only person in the valley.
As Xuanyu said.
A girl, with long hair, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, carrying a peasant hat, holding a hoe in her hand, is tending to the medicine field, and is holding her trouser legs, like a village girl.
The monkey king, who led the way, stopped at the fence and called out to the girl.
The latter put down the hoe in her hand, stood up, wiped the sweat from her forehead, she didn't look at the people behind her, picked up the kettle at hand, drank a sip of water, and then said:
"The ape prince brought guests here, and he should have entertained them with his heart, but unfortunately in my Huanxi Village, there is no one else, so I can't welcome the guests. Everyone, please go back, don't disturb my peace. ”
The voice is colder, and it is not very strange, just like an ordinary mountain village girl.
Shen Qiu stretched out his hand and put it on Qingqing's shoulder, and he said:
"This girl, surnamed Fan."
"So what?"
The village girl was still indifferent, she lowered her head, continued to take care of the medicine field, and said:
"There are more people with the surname Fan in the world."
"The ancestor of her family, three hundred years ago, I am afraid that he walked out of this Huanxi village and used the secret ability of the immortal family to attack the world."
Shen Qiu said again:
"My sister is the last bloodline of the Da Chu Fan family, and she is of the same origin as the girl, and today she is back to her hometown, but is it so indifferent between relatives?"
"Three hundred years ago?"
The village girl's action of taking care of the medicine field stopped, and this time, there was a hint of sarcasm in her voice.
She said:
"I'm afraid that the little girl's ancestors didn't dare to leave the truth of the year, right? Three hundred years ago, a group of people couldn't stand the hardships in the mountains, so they insisted on going their own way, ruining the mountain protection formation, and taking the spiritual treasures in the village into the red dust.
Later, I heard that it had indeed laid a great foundation.
But when they left Huanxi Village, they made it clear that once they left Taozhu Mountain, they would no longer be from my Huanxi Village, and they would no longer have anything to do with my generation.
Their group of rebellious people, no matter how good they were outside, no matter how bad they were, they were not allowed to return to the village. ”
The village girl stood up, stretched out her hand and took off her hat, and said:
"Let's go.
The cause and effect between that girl and my Huanxi Village were broken three hundred years ago. ”
The words are indifferent.
There is quite a taste of broken love.
Qingqing originally found her relatives, and she was still smiling, but her eyes were also dimmed, and she could feel that the sister in front of her really didn't want to see her.
It's like a stranger.
"You man!"
Zhang Lan saw that Qingqing's face was sad, and he was not angry, so he stepped forward to enter the medicine field theory.
But at this moment, the village girl waved her hand casually, and the moment the ordinary hat left her hand, she disappeared, and Shen Qiu pulled Zhang Lan back two steps, and heard a bang in front of her.
The soft hat actually entered the ground a few inches, but no dirt flew out, and when it landed, the breath that swayed, like two ethereal sword qi, shot towards Zhang Lan and Shen Qiu.
"Bell, bell"
The sound of the clashing of gold and stone echoed on the open Heavenly Impermanence fist, as well as the ice armor condensed on Shen Qiu's arm, all of which were cut open in an instant.
Master!
Definitely a master of seclusion.
This village girl can have such a miracle with a blow with her hand, and it is even more rare that when she doesn't use her hands, her momentum will not miss a point, just like an ordinary mortal, every move, she is strange and introverted.
"Back to basics!"
This word jumped into Shen Qiu's heart.
When he looked at the back of the ordinary village girl, he felt that she had a trace of Zhang Moxie's weightless demeanor, and the Big Dipper Star Royal was also like the girl in front of him.
When he doesn't do it, he is like an ordinary scribe.
The girl in front of her is afraid that she is not as good as Zhang Moxie, but it is estimated that she is not much worse.
But she is young, she looks like she is in her twenties at most, even if she starts practicing in her mother's womb, even if she is really a genius, at this age, she has such means.
It's really amazing.
No wonder she dares to live alone in this deep mountain, with such means to protect her body, who can hurt her in the whole world?
"I'll say it one last time."
The village girl patted the dirt on her hands and finally turned around.
That face is a few points similar to Qingqing, especially the big eyes, which are simply carved out of a mold, and the most conspicuous thing is that there is a beautiful tear mole under the girl's left eye.
Her hairstyle is also a bit odd, like bangs, cut flush at the forehead.
"Leave Huanxi Village, never come back, don't disturb my peace!"
It's still the same light words as before.
But after revealing the means, this ordinary language also has a bit more majesty like Mount Tai.
The same thing that different people say, the feeling is naturally different.
"Senior brother."
Qingqing, who was originally happy in her heart, looked at the indifferent eyes that rejected people thousands of miles away at this time, she bit her lip, pulled Shen Qiu's sleeve, and she said a little lonely:
"Let's go, no one else welcomes us, and we don't have to stay here to annoy people."
Shen Qiu was unmoved.
He looked at the indifferent girl in front of him, reached out and patted the knife box behind his back, and the seven stars shook the light and fell into his hand.
Shen Qiu's fingers stroked the blade of the knife, and with a flick of his hand, the world's famous blade was inserted between the medicine fields in front of him in the roar of the tiger, and he said to the village girl:
"The grievances of three hundred years ago seem to have arisen because of this.
Today, I sent back the spiritual treasure that was taken away from here by the Qingqing Ancestors.
What we ask for is not much, the outside world has been turned upside down, the world is in danger of being upside down, Shen does not ask the girl for help, those things, Shen will do it himself.
Just acting outside, worrying about my family and relatives, I want to place my two younger sisters and my beloved wife in this hidden place outside the world, and I see a lot of empty houses in this girl's village.
Even if you have a few more people, it doesn't hurt, right? ”
