Chapter 21: Xiaobai
"What?!" Ma Dahai shouted when he heard this, and his body was in severe pain. At this moment, it was really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and a nameless fire arose, thinking: "How could Jing'er go up and down the mountain at this juncture? The eight-tailed demon fox is looking for me everywhere, in case I run into it, how can I do it?"
"Daddy, it's all my fault! Brother Lin came down the mountain because of me. Seeing the uncertain look on her father's face, Ma Xiaoling was on the verge of losing control of her emotions and said with a crying voice.
"What's going on, tell me quickly!" Ma Dahai almost roared.
It turned out that while Ma Dahai and the ghost doctor were talking in the house, Ma Xiaoling and Lin Jing were chatting while handling the medicinal materials. Ma Xiaoling told Lin Jing that the phoenix pendant left to her by her mother was handed down by her grandmother, which was originally a pair, and there was also a dragon pendant, which was kept by her father at first. Later, Ma Dahai gave Long Pei to Ma Xiaoling as a talisman.
A dragon and a phoenix, Qin Se and Ming, Lin Jing compared his heart to his heart, knowing that a complete pair of jade pendants, if one is lost, the mood must be extremely remorseful, annoyed and regretful. Even more on Ma Xiaoling's urination without her mother, Lin Jing suddenly had an idea in her heart, wanting to help Ma Xiaoling find Long Pei.
He was just a kid after all, and he had a simple mind, and he thought so in his heart, so he did it. After making an excuse and breaking away from Ma Xiaoling, Lin Jing slipped through the big willow tree and got into the forest.
"Smack!"
As soon as Ma Xiaoling finished telling what happened, Ma Dahai was furious, so angry that he couldn't speak, and slapped him.
He only used a little force in this slap, but it left a bright red palm print on Ma Xiaoling's fair face, and his palm was raised high, but looking at his daughter's tearful eyes, he couldn't fall down.
What's wrong with me? Ma Dahai is in great pain, since the birth of his daughter, he has never even said a cruel word!
"Slap", there was another crisp sound, Ma Dahai used a lot of force, and gave himself an ear scraper fiercely.
"Daddy, I'm sorry for you. Ma Dahai opened his bow left and right, gave himself two more slaps, and wanted to hit again, but was stopped by Ma Xiaoling, who was crying into tears.
"Daddy, it's not good for my daughter. Ma Xiaoling cried and said: "Daddy, get Brother Lin back, he doesn't understand the prohibition on this mountain, what can he do if he encounters danger." ”
Ma Xiaoling naturally didn't know the danger of the situation at the moment, far from being comparable to small roles such as Yin and Yang.
Ma Dahai forced himself to calm down, and thought about it carefully, although the eight-tailed demon fox was chasing after him, he was confident that the formation and prohibition set up on Ling Mountain would definitely not be broken in a short time, so Lin Jing might not encounter the eight-tailed demon fox at this moment.
It's just that he knows his own affairs, and the injuries on his body are too serious, and it is still difficult to get out of bed and move around, let alone find Lin Jing back, if he lets Ma Xiaoling find it for him, how can he rest assured!
Just when Ma Dahai was indecisive and entangled and unbearable, a shout suddenly came from outside the house.
"Sister Xiaoling, come and see!
Ma Xiaoling's face was overjoyed, and she smiled and said, "Daddy, it's Brother Lin! Brother Lin is back!" she greeted her happily.
Ma Dahai breathed a long sigh of relief, Jing'er came back, and he was finally relieved. But his pity for Ma Xiaoling arose, and he felt even more sorry for his daughter.
Ma Dahai closed his eyes and sighed secretly, if his junior brother Lin Kun was still alive, how good it would be to hand over his daughter to her, read and write since she was a child, and do what a girl's family should do.
It's a pity that the past can't be traced, the memories are empty, and the future should be better for my daughter.
"Daddy, look, this is given to me by Brother Lin!" Ma Xiaoling's surprised voice sounded in her ears, Ma Dahai looked fixedly, and saw that Ma Xiaoling was holding a small and cute white rabbit in her hand, and what was hanging from the rabbit's neck was Ma Xiaoling's lost dragon pendant on the mountain!
Ma Xiaoling looked at the little white rabbit lying quietly in the crook of her arm, she was well-behaved and cute, and she was very happy, with a smile in her eyebrows. Lin Jing, who followed her into the room, was covered in mud and disgraced, but his spirit was also very uplifted.
Previously, in order to help Ma Xiaoling find Long Pei into the woods, where did he know where Ma Xiaoling met Yin Yang Suo, he could only look for it aimlessly. Suddenly, there was a soft sound in the forest, and Lin Jing carefully brushed aside the dense branches and leaves, and saw a little white rabbit happily chewing on the grass.
Lin Jing remembered that half a month ago, when she was chatting with Ma Xiaoling, she had heard her say that on her third birthday, Ma Dahai once gave her a little rabbit as a gift. Since Ma Xiaoling can remember, that rabbit is her only playmate, and she naturally cherishes it very much. It's a pity that Ma Xiaoling was too young at the time and didn't know how to take care of small animals, and it didn't take long for the little rabbit to disappear into the forest.
Ma Xiaoling was sad about this for a long time, and she also asked her father Ma Dahai to look for it, but where could she find it.
When Lin Jing saw the little white rabbit this time, he immediately remembered Ma Xiaoling's childhood past, so he carefully and gently picked up the little white rabbit. The little white rabbit seemed to know Lin Jing's intentions, so he didn't move, and let Lin Jing hold him in his arms, very well-behaved. Looking at the neck of the little white rabbit, there is a jade pendant that is almost identical to the phoenix pendant that Ma Xiaoling showed him before!
I think this jade pendant should be Ma Xiaoling's lost dragon pendant in the forest!
Lin Jing opened the front of the jade pendant, and sure enough, there was a sinuous and coiled green dragon carved out! This was really a nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get there! Lin Jing was overjoyed, and he couldn't wait to rush back to the top of the mountain immediately, so that Ma Xiaoling could be happy.
When Lin Jing returned to the residence on the top of the mountain, he thought that he would be praised by Ma Dahai, but after the latter listened to the truth of the matter with a calm face, he didn't say a word, but snatched the little white rabbit from Ma Xiaoling's hands.
"Dad, what are you doing!" Ma Xiaoling was dissatisfied with her father's rough behavior and complained.
Ma Dahai still didn't say a word, took out a red charm from his shirt and put it on the forehead of the little white rabbit. Ma Xiaoling and Lin Jing are young, so they naturally don't understand the urgency of this matter. There are prohibitions everywhere on Ling Mountain, and animals that are bred under natural conditions cannot survive, which is also the reason why Ling Mountain is blessed with a paradise for plants, but there are almost no animal activities.
As for the little rabbit that was given to Ma Xiaoling as a birthday gift before, it was also brought back by Ma Dahai from elsewhere. After the rabbit went missing that day, Ma Dahai went into the woods to look for it, and indeed found it, but what he found was a skeleton that had been sucked dry.
Because of this, when Ma Dahai saw the little white rabbit that Lin Jing was holding, he immediately sensed something different, and the charm he put on the little white rabbit's forehead could detect whether there was a demon in its body. Once there is a demonic nature, the charm will enter the body and explode in the body in an instant, and the power is amazing.
Ma Dahai looked at the little white rabbit intently, but the red charm did not move at all, there was no change at all, and then looked at the little white rabbit's body trembling slightly, his eyelids couldn't help flashing, and it didn't look different. Thinking about it again, the formation he set up on the top of the mountain relying on the four big willow trees was the four-elephant demon punishment array that ranked third among the four major formations of the Bagua Gate, but anyone with the slightest demonic nature, once he stepped into the four-elephant demon punishment array, he would be wiped out by the thunder and fire, not to mention ghosts and beasts.
Could it be that this is really an ordinary rabbit? Ma Dahai couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Daddy, what are you going to do!" Maybe it was lost once, Ma Xiaoling cherished this little white rabbit very much, seeing that Ma Dahai didn't speak for a long time, looking at his serious expression, and didn't know what he was going to do to the little white rabbit, he stomped his feet in a hurry, simply reached out and tore off the red charm on the little white rabbit's forehead, grabbed it into his arms, turned around and ran out with a smoke, for fear that Ma Dahai would want it back again.
"Uncle bearded, I'm going to see Sister Xiaoling. Lin Jing also ran out, leaving Ma Dahai alone.
Since he has passed the Four Elephants Demon Punishment Array, and he can't detect any demonic nature, it stands to reason that this should be an ordinary rabbit, but Ma Dahai thought about it and always felt a little uneasy, but he couldn't find a reason.
Ma Dahai listened attentively, and the laughter of Ma Xiaoling and Lin Jing came into his ears from afar, and he felt something out of his arms.
Hexagonal bronze mirror.
It is exactly the same hexagonal bronze mirror that Lin Jing's father Lin Kun used at the beginning, but the mirror body is bronze and looks a little old. Ma Dahai bit his index finger and lightly sketched on the bronze mirror, the surface of the bronze mirror suddenly rippled, and the symbol he wrote flashed a light and was swallowed by the ripples. Instead, there are eight bright red patterns, arranged in turn, which are the eight hexagrams in the Bagua diagram.
Ma Dahai's index finger stretched out, fell in the middle of the eight hexagrams, stirred hard, and the eight hexagrams flowed rapidly, entangled together.
It took a long time before it stopped.
Look at the bronze mirror again, the mirror surface is stable, the gossip is combined into one, the hexagram phase is three long and six short, three up and six down.
Zhenji, no blame.
It's a good omen.
For thousands of years, although the art of deduction and calculation cannot know people's past and present lives, they can also be lucky and vicious, and measure and strategize. Ma Dahai just deduced the gossip, measured the good luck of this little white rabbit, and got a good omen, although he couldn't see who the omen was in and what the Lord was, but it was not a bad thing after all. He finally relaxed and let the two children play with each other.
Ma Xiaoling saw that her father was no longer in the way, so she was naturally very happy, and she was almost inseparable from the little white rabbit. But strange to say, the little white rabbit seems to like Lin Jing more, and will always take advantage of Ma Xiaoling's inattention, pounce, break free from her arms, and jump onto Lin Jing.
This made Ma Xiaoling angry, she took out carrots, vegetables and other foods that the little white rabbit likes to eat, but it didn't have any effect.
"Brother Lin, Xiaobai treats you as a mother. Ma Xiaoling pouted and said sourly at Lin Jing.
Xiaobai is Ma Xiaoling's name for the little white rabbit, which is simple and appropriate, although Lin Jing doesn't think so, at least he doesn't agree with it in his heart.
"Maybe it's because I brought it back, as time goes by, I naturally know who is better for it, and who will be more intimate with whom. Lin Jing has been with Ma Xiaoling for a long time, knows her temperament, and said with a smile.
"It must be like this! I'll just say, how could Xiaobai not like me!" Lin Jing's words really fit Ma Xiaoling's heart, and she immediately smiled.
However, the two children did not realize that the carefree days were quietly leaving them.
