Chapter 15: Fate

Jade bees are not afraid of the cold, and they take care of it every year, and there has never been a problem. Grandma Sun didn't know why the dragon suddenly cared so much about the jade bee, but she still went to the hive after the meal according to the dragon's wishes. The jade bee is white, smaller than ordinary bees, but the toxicity is several times that of ordinary bees, once it is stung, redness, swelling, fever is just a small meaning, and what is more painful is the pain that can not be broken free until death, the kind of pain that is like fire, like the pain of acupuncture.

The jade bees in the ancient tombs are domesticated, quite humane, under the teaching, they know how to outflank the simple technique, with the unique bee control method in the ancient tombs, which can be a sharp weapon for taking people's lives, and in ordinary times, these bees can be used as guards of the ancient tombs, warning and punishing trespassers. At the same time, jade bee syrup is the antidote to jade bee venom, and the body will resist the bee venom after taking it for a long time, so the dragon and Grandma Sun can get along with the jade bee at will, even if it is injured by the jade bee.

Grandma Sun cleaned up briefly, sat with the buzzing bees for a while, and was about to get up and go back, when suddenly, the bee colony flocked. Grandma Sun heard the shouting and shouting outside, shouting and shouting to kill, and became vigilant, and said in her heart: "Could it be that someone broke into the tomb?" The slight movement in his mouth made a small sound, and the imperial envoy Jade Bee went to meet the enemy. After a while, the sound of "oops" and "oops" came from the forest, and the noisy shouts and footsteps were far away. She beckoned the jade bee back, and was about to go back, when a black figure rolled out of the forest, calling "help", and sounding like a child.

The children on the ground were wearing tattered robes, their faces were covered with blood, and they were rolling back and forth on the ground, because they had been stung by jade bees, and the exposed flesh had been swollen, and their mouths were whimpering, like cats, which was very pitiful. Grandma Sun hurriedly ran over, picked up the person, walked to the ancient tomb, and said with concern: "Child, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it'll be fine for a while, and it won't hurt for a while." ”

Grandma Sun put the fainted child on the bed and hurriedly poured jade bee syrup into the person.

Long Ben was distracted in the house, heard the movement and came over, and when he saw the little boy on the bed, he couldn't help but move in his heart, and said in his heart: "Sure enough, it's still here." ”

In "The Condor Heroes", three days before Chinese New Year's Eve, Chongyang Palace competed in art, Yang Guo was deliberately framed by Zhao Zhijing, but he was severely beaten and humiliated, and when it was critical, he used the toad skill taught to him by Ouyang Feng in order to save his life, and almost beat his fellow disciples to death, so he defected from the sect and entered the tomb of the living dead. Therefore, Long knew that this young man was Yang Guo.

Long walked to the side of the bed gently, raised his hand to stop Granny Sun who was about to say something, clicked Yang Guo's sleeping hole, and said to Granny Sun: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, he is a Taoist priest of Chongyang Palace, but he is just a child, I won't do anything to him, the bee venom is powerful, it will be better to sleep." ”

Grandma Sun said: "Young Master Long, it's the heart of my wife and my villain." ”

Long Dao: "Mother-in-law doesn't need to be like this, the rule of our ancient tomb is not to allow outsiders to enter, and the Taoist priests of Chongyang Palace can't, it's reasonable for you to worry that I will be unfavorable to him." ”

Grandma Sun asked: "Young Master Long, how do you want to settle him, I see that he is full of injuries, most of them are bullied in the sect, the battle to find people outside just now is big, and he wants to die or live, the Taoist priests in Chongyang Palace are all black-hearted, I am afraid that if this child goes back, I am afraid that he will die." ”

The dragon looked immobile and asked, "Mother-in-law, what do you want to say?" ”

Granny Sun hesitated for a moment, and said in her heart: "Young Master Long is still as smart as ever, and he can see everything." Finally, he said: "Young Master Long, either ••, or let's leave him behind." ”

Long Dao: "Stay? Mother-in-law, how do you know that this child is willing to stay? ”

Thinking of the rules of the ancient tomb, Grandma Sun was speechless for a while, yes, staying in the tomb of the living dead means "buried" here for the rest of your life, how many people in the world are willing? But I don't know why, Grandma Sun just likes this child from the bottom of her heart and doesn't want this child to be wronged.

Long saw that Grandma Sun couldn't make up her mind, and couldn't bear the old man's entanglement, so she said: "Mother-in-law, let's do it, let him rest well today, and when he wakes up tomorrow, you ask him, I think he is about thirteen or fourteen years old, he should have an idea, he wants to go, let him make his own decision." ”

Since Yang Guo is here, then he will definitely stay in the ancient tomb and become a disciple of the ancient tomb, this point, Long has been sure. It's just that, if it develops according to the arrangement in the book, tomorrow will be Grandma Sun's death. In the book, Xiaolongnu strictly followed the patriarch's instructions and refused to take Yang Guo in, so that Grandma Sun and Yang Guo left together, and then there was a conflict between Grandma Sun and the Taoist priest of the Quanzhen Sect and was beaten to death by Hao Datong. The dragon suddenly wanted to give it a try, if he changed some of the plot, would the fate of the characters here change. Grandma Sun has taken care of him for many years, and Long really can't bear to see her die tragically.

Grandma Sun was stunned when she heard this, looked at the dragon, and asked, "Young Master Long, you, are you willing to keep him?" The dragon's meaning was clear, he would allow the child to stay in the tomb as long as he wanted to, however, the tomb had strict rules and no outsiders were allowed to enter, how could the dragon think like that? This was a big surprise to Grandma Sun. However, it's okay, Grandma Sun wanted to spend more persuasion and request, but now with the dragon's consent first, there is no need to be so troublesome, just look at the child's meaning.

Long Dao: "Mother-in-law, I see that you like him, the ancient tomb is deserted, there is nothing wrong with one more person to accompany him, as for the rules...", sighed shallowly, and said: "Since the master put me in the door, it has been a lot broken, and it is nothing to break one or two more, and when I die, I will go to make amends to the master, the master is soft-hearted and kind, and most of the time he will not embarrass me." But in my heart, I thought, "Maybe after I die, I will be able to go back, and I won't see the master at all." ”

Grandma Sun thought of the dead woman, and couldn't help but be gloomy, and said with tears in her eyes: "The old woman is old, and it is estimated that she will go early, and when the time comes, I will go to persuade the master first and not let her punish you." ”

Long Dao: "Then thank you mother-in-law, okay, don't say it's dead, mother-in-law, you take care of him, let him wash and clean up when he wakes up, change his clothes, if it's still so dirty, sloppy, like a mud monkey, I won't accept him." ”

Grandma Sun wiped her tears, a gentle smile appeared on her ugly face, and said, "Okay, good, the old woman will definitely let him clean." ”

Long stretched out his hand to probe Yang Guo's forehead, and reminded Granny Sun: "Mother-in-law, I am afraid that this child can make such a big mistake in Chongyang Palace to provoke such a big battle, those Taoist priests will not let him go easily, you will guard him for the past two days, don't go outside the tomb, if there is a conflict with the people of Chongyang Palace, we are reasonable in terms of saving people, if we talk about teaching disciples, we are not qualified to keep him, tomorrow I will go to Chongyang Palace to send the bee poison antidote, and I will talk about it when the matter is completely over." ”

Grandma Sun said: "What Young Master Long said is that the old woman will not make trouble. ”

Long Dao: "I'm going to practice, don't worry about my mother-in-law, he doesn't have a fever, I think it should be because the jade bee syrup is effective, there will be no big problem, you should rest earlier." Walking out, there are some things he still has to consider.

Granny Sun sighed deeply after the dragon left.

Long Da has been taken care of by Grandma Sun since he was a baby, so Grandma Sun knows him very well. Although the dragon looks cold and cold, not close to people, and his temperament is more withdrawn than the others in the tomb, and he usually doesn't even talk much, but Grandma Sun knows that the dragon's heart is not so cold on the surface, on the contrary, Grandma Sun feels that the dragon is just too emotional, and he doesn't dare to put it easily, and would rather suppress it and hide it in his heart, which makes people mistakenly think that he is indifferent and ruthless, just to avoid useless fetters.

I won't give and I won't expect anything in return, so I won't get hurt.

However, no matter how much people with a strong nature deceive themselves, they can't hide it from others, and the nature of love will not change because of restraint, and it really becomes cold, and one day, when you meet the corresponding person and the corresponding thing, the dragon's feelings will burst out together and be out of control. Grandma Sun was worried that the dragon would follow the old path of Lin Chaoying and the woman, and once he was emotional, he was attacked by internal strength, and he was killed and injured.

Grandma Sun flickered in front of her eyes the figure of the dragon who had just left, and in the faint and dim candlelight, the white back was so lonely and pitiful, which made people feel relieved. Maybe this is the fate of the heirs of the ancient tomb, Grandma Sun couldn't help but think like this, helpless and powerless. She covered the quilt for Yang Guo, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and said softly to him: "Child, my mother-in-law is old, and she doesn't have a few years to live." If you really have a relationship with the ancient tomb, agree to stay here, help your mother-in-law guard your dragon brother, your dragon brother has a hard life, destined to be lonely here for a lifetime, if you are with you, be a companion with him, and your mother-in-law can feel at ease when she leaves. ”

Yang Guo, who was asleep, couldn't hear Grandma Sun's expectations, today, he escaped death, tired, and finally got rid of the days when he was bullied in Chongyang Palace, and he happened to be in a dream.

In his dream, as now, it was winter, and Chinese New Year's Eve was approaching, and he sat at the door of his house waiting for his mother to return. Yang Guo looked at the white snow flying outside, reached out and took a piece in his palm, and waited for the snowflakes to turn into water, and then took another piece, repeating with interest, his palms were red from the cold, and he didn't care, and the laughter continued.

••••••

Outside the thorn forest around the tomb of the living dead, the torches are bright.

Zhao Zhijing was injured by a jade bee because of the pursuit of Yang Guo, and he was injured by a jade bee in the ancient tomb, and he was mourning in Chongyang Palace at this time. Zhen Zhibing was sent by Hao Datong to ask for an antidote for Zhao Zhijing, and in order to get Yang Guo back, he had been guarding here with a few disciples for three or four hours, no matter how he shouted, there was not the slightest movement on the side of the ancient tomb.

It was getting darker and darker, the temperature was getting colder and colder, and after a while the wind blew, and several people shivered from the cold. One of the disciples walked up to Zhen Zhibing and said to him: "Uncle Zhen, why don't we go back first, the antidote can't wait, we will freeze to death, Uncle Zhao has profound skills, and he will be fine all night." ”

Zhen Zhibing is also cold, but he has deep internal strength, and he is always more frost-resistant than these disciples, he looked at the dark tomb of the living dead, nodded and said: "Give me the torch, you go back first, I am here to guard, we are here to beg for people, we have to put on an attitude of begging for people." ”

When the other Taoist priests heard him say this, although they felt guilty, they still left, leaving only Zhen Zhibing.

The ancient tomb is located in the shade of the mountain, there are many dead trees and vines, and the thorn forest climbs the branches and roots in the night, which is even more strange and terrifying.
