Chapter 11 The Ancient Well and the Willow Tree
The rain continued to fall and showed no signs of stopping.
Yue Jianghong went door-to-door, not really saying goodbye, his idea was to use his identity to try out some abnormalities and find some clues from them.
It's also a knock knock.
He took out the jade seal on his chest, looked at it repeatedly to make sure there were no injuries, and then withdrew it to his chest.
The jade seal is engraved with a mountain, not a mountain, but a mountain.
The remnant jade around his neck is engraved with the character Jiang, and the river is depicted, which looks more like six rivers. This Jiang character was taught to him by Mrs. Yue. It's just that a corner of the remnant jade is missing, and there is no way to speculate on the missing content on the other side.
That night, he felt his stomach move, and felt that it should be Monk Kuxuan, Daoist Luochen and Jiyun Demon Earth had figured out how to talk to him.
He was familiar with it, and when he came to the dantian, the Buddha Yuan Crystal, the monk said politely: "Xiaoyou, the three poor monks decided, but with the needs of Xiaoyou, the three of us will fully cooperate, and the matter of accepting Xiaoyou as an apprentice is our arrogance for a while, and I hope Xiaoyou will not be surprised." ”
After a day of thinking, the three of them finally saw the current situation clearly, not to mention that Yue Jianghong was not a simple child, and passed by casually, just said that Yue Jianghong entered the lonely mountain and did not die, but after coming back, there were thirteen more spiritual roots in the dantian, which was enough to make them cautious.
Yue Jianghong nodded: "Actually, I don't want much, I just want to know how to remove the spiritual root?"
The demon Ji Yun was taken aback: "You want to melt us?"
Yue Jianghong hurriedly denied: "Where is it, how can the juniors be that kind of ungrateful? But if a few seniors want to teach me, I am not very relieved." You are all old-timers, and you casually hide some mysteries in the exercises, won't I even know how to die when the time comes?"
Taoist Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said tentatively: "It turns out that Xiaoyou is doing exercises?
He had no other thoughts, and wanted to test the relationship between Yue Jianghong and Gushan.
Yue Jianghong smiled lightly: "Guess?"
The monk's heart sank, and he immediately put away his tentative thoughts, and Gushan passed on thirteen spiritual roots to a person, and the weight of this person was already visible. There are thousands of exercises in the world, but the spiritual root is very difficult to find.
He said: "It is estimated that the exercises passed on by Gushan are too high, and I forgot to pass on the spiritual opening exercises to Xiaoyou, but we are not at ease if they are directly passed on to Xiaoyou, Xiaoyou look, do you want to do this, we sign a heavenly oath, we will teach you the spiritual opening exercises, and you will send us out?"
Yue Jianghong's eyes flashed: "I don't have a problem, but a few seniors are sure to go out now, so they are not afraid of being picked up by other people in our village?"
The Taoist priest's heart trembled: "Okay, then we will agree to let us out in the future, but the time has to be decided by us! ”
Yue Jianghong thought for a moment and said, "Senior, there are three of you, but you only teach me one exercise, won't I lose a lot?"
The monk Kuxuan was puzzled: "Xiaoyou still needs other exercises?"
"Whether you need it or not is my business, whether you pass it on or not is your business, attitude is very important, I can't lose!"
If the three of them had a face, they must be dark at the moment, and Yue Jianghong in front of him was a master who did not suffer losses, but he also took advantage of their soft spots.
When he made the Heavenly Dao Oath, Ji Yun still wanted to make a fuss in the oath, and then he was held down by Luo Chen and Ku Xuan, and almost eliminated him from the people who could participate in the Heavenly Dao Oath.
......
Early in the morning of the second day, Jiang Erpang came to find Yue Jianghong, he woke up Yue Jianghong in a hurry, and said: "Jiang Hong, Jiang Hong, the well is full, the well is full!"
Yue Jianghong was woken up by him, sleepy-eyed, he slept too late last night to learn the Spiritual Opening Technique, and there were dark circles on both eyes.
"Oh, it's full, it's full, I'll sleep again!"
Yue Jianghong looked at Jiang Er's fat appearance, and seemed to tell Yue Jianghong about this matter, which made him more excited than he knew about it.
Yue Jianghong suddenly woke up and sat up, he suddenly remembered one thing, he had never drunk the well water at the entrance of the village, every time he wanted to drink the well water, the well water would sneak away, even if others scooped it into the scoop and brought it to the front, the well water could disappear out of thin air.
This made his reputation as an ominous man even more prestigious, after all, even the well water was disgusted with him.
Yue Jianghong can only drink the rainwater that falls from the sky, but fortunately, there is a lot of rain in Gushan, and every time he can refill it before he drinks the rainwater he has stored.
He once had a dream of taking a bath with well water. This dream, he has told Jiang Erpang many times.
Now, the well is overflowing, and it is perfect for bathing. Yue Jianghong and Jiang Erpang trotted all the way towards the well.
Jiang Er's fat chest and the three pieces of fat on his stomach were bumping up and down, Yue Jianghong didn't know how he grew so much meat, if it weren't for the fact that there was still a circle of fat on his stomach as a witness, Yue Jianghong would have long doubted whether he was a big girl.
Jiang Erchuan was out of breath, out of breath, and whispered after Yue Jianghong: "By the way, last night, there were a few strange things in the village, it is said that the dumb uncle of the Zhu family was pierced in the eye by an iron nail beaten by himself last night, and the second uncle of the Lin family was cut off by his own axe, the sound is like killing a pig, I estimate that if he is not dumb, the uncle of the Zhu family is estimated to be able to call the same as him." ”
Finally, he whispered: "And my uncle, I don't know what scared me stupid, I looked at him this morning, squatting in the corner with a pile of talisman paper in his hand, shivering. The people in the village said that you did it, and they said that you were an adult, and your ominous release began to harm people. ”
As he spoke, he unconsciously moved away from Yue Jianghong.
Yue Jianghong looked back at him, with a gentle smile on his face, red lips and white teeth, and said with a smile: "Do you look like me?"
Jiang Erpang looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see anything strange, Yue Jianghong was still the same Yue Jianghong, the little boy who grew up with him, he shook his head and said, "It's not like!"
While talking, they had already come to the well, Yue Jianghong looked at the wellhead steadily, only to see the well, the white flower well water overflowed, and it had flowed into a stream.
He rushed over, sat in the puddle under the eaves of the well, and splashed a stack of water, and the two of them were surprised by their big eyes and small eyes.
Yue Jianghong buried his head in the well water, drank the well water of Baihuahua, and dreamed of the well water for twelve years.
Guarding the well water and not being able to drink it, this is the hidden pain in Yue Jianghong's heart for more than ten years, and now, he seems to have a good wine in his arms, and he just wants to get drunk.
He buried his head in the rushing water, and quietly shed a line of tears, which mixed with the well water and flowed without a trace.
Jiang Erfat was also happy for him, jumped into the puddle, and Yue Jianghong had a water fight, he was close to the water since he was a child, when he was three years old, he fell into a well, his family looked for him for a night, and the next day he returned to the well inexplicably, and was considered by the whole family to be a person who was only blessed.
Jiang Erpang and Yue Jianghong fought in the water, washed their bodies thoroughly, and exclaimed happily.
In the distance, the third aunt of the Zhu family saw this scene, and her heart ached, but she didn't dare to step forward. Yue Jianghong's performance in the Zhu Mansion the day before was too amazing, the brazier that the Zhu family had never extinguished was extinguished under Yue Jianghong's hands, and it has not been re-burned until now.
What's even more terrifying is that at night, the uncle of the Zhu family was chased and killed by the iron nails he built, and he ran all over the house, but in the end he didn't run away, and his eyes were pierced with two bloody holes.
The iron nail was originally built by the uncle of the Zhu family to kill Yue Jianghong.
In short, Yue Jianghong is too evil to touch.
When everyone thought that his blessings were scattered and he was going to die, all the people who attacked him were seriously injured in no explanation.
Moreover, not every injured person can be cured by the well water, the uncle of the Zhu family is an example, he was originally an intact person, ten years ago, on the night when Yue Jianghong's parents were killed by lightning, he dug a basin in the grove south of the village, and when he came back, his tongue was gone, and he became mute.
Later, after a year of tinkering, the basin began to burn, and it burned for nine years, and it never went out. Under Yue Jianghong's hands, it was extinguished for the first time.
......
It was drizzling, but Yue Jianghong was playing happily in the water, and the well water on a rainy day was especially warm, at least much warmer than the wind in the village.
Tired of playing, Jiang Erpang suddenly said, "Jiang Hong, do you want to see if you can pick willow branches?"
Yue Jianghong's eyes lit up, in the nine years since he could remember, there were two things he couldn't touch, the first was well water, and the second was willow trees.
Every time he wanted to grab catkins, he would be laughed at by the people in the village: "A chickadee also wants to fly into the sky to catch catkins, but he doesn't know how thick the sky is." ”
On the willow tree, the most blessed thing is the catkins, but not everyone can get the catkins, so far, Jiang Erfat's father, Jiang Erbo got it once, and then gave birth to Jiang Erfat. Another time was when the eyes of the third aunt of the Zhu family were pecked blind by birds, and they washed their eyes with catkins soaked in water, and then they regained their sight.
What is shallower than the catkins is the wicker, and there are more people who get the wicker, the third uncle of the Zhu family, the second uncle, and the second uncle of the Lin family all got it.
The most important thing is the willow leaves, everyone in the village can pick willow leaves, except for Yue Jianghong.
Every time he wanted to pick the willow leaves, the willow would drift with the wind, avoiding his palms, and he was so angry that he wanted to climb the willow tree, but every time he climbed halfway up the tree, he would fall down, and he could not climb up half a step.
Willow trees and willow branches are things that the village feels are blessings, Yue Jianghong can only pass by every time, and over time, he gradually gets used to it, no longer pursues, no longer looks forward to it.
But now it was different, the well water no longer avoided him, and he thought, Willow should not avoid him.
He walked up to the eaves of the well and reached out to pick the wicker, and suddenly a cool breeze came out of thin air, blowing the wicker sideways, and Yue Jianghong immediately grabbed a vacancy.
Yue Jianghong sighed secretly and was about to turn his head and leave, at this time, a small willow leaf fell from the wicker, which looked almost the smallest willow leaf on the whole tree.
Yue Jianghong reached out to grab it, but the thin willow leaf avoided his hand, and then floated around him, Yue Jianghong's eyes followed it, and his heart was flirtatious. Eventually, the willow leaf fell on the back of his head and disappeared instantly.
The willow leaves that others get are all in the palm of their hands, and they will not disappear, but Yue Jianghong's is the willow leaf that he catches with the back of his head, and it disappears immediately.
"Fine willows, fine willows, blessings for a long time, Jiang Hong, you have finally got the blessing of the willow tree!" Jiang Erpang jumped up happily.
Yue Jianghong knew that Jiang Erpang was comforting himself, what he got was the tiniest willow leaf, and the blessing was the thinnest, and he said that it was to comfort himself for a long time, but he still thanked the willow tree, and immediately bowed to the willow tree and the well.
He stood up and said goodbye to the willow tree and the well: "Willow tree, the well, I know that your predecessors have spirits, and I also know that you know my existence, today you two do not hesitate to give me blessings, and if I gain power, I will not forget the gifts of the two predecessors today, and I will rank the two slender students." If I, Yue Jianghong, violate this oath, I will be destroyed on the same day!"
When the well and the willow tree heard this, there was a sudden big movement, and the well water suddenly stopped flowing, and there was no difference between it and before the water rose. The willow tree was even worse, directly retracting all the wicker into the trunk of the branches, as if he had never seen Yue Jianghong.
Yue Jianghong and Jiang Erfat looked at each other.
In the drizzle, Aunt Yue Jianghong came over with a burning stick, looking at the bare willow tree, her face was extremely strange.
"Jiang Hong, the master asked you to come over!" said Yue Jianghong's second aunt.
Yue Jianghong was very surprised and pleasantly surprised, this was the first time his second aunt called his real name.
