Chapter 3 The first contact, the end of the meeting
The leaves are falling, and the branches are already yellow. Wang Erlang picked up some dead branches while walking in the forest. The days are getting cooler, and winter is about to begin. These days, he basically goes up to the mountain every day to collect some firewood, which can be lit in winter, and when he saves more, he will also go to the city to exchange for thanksgiving money, and buy a few feet of cloth for his wife, daughter-in-law and children to make new clothes to wear. When I think of the four-year-old baby and the daughter-in-law at home, I feel that my heart is warm, it is the cake that the daughter-in-law has just baked before leaving.
There are only a few acres of poor land at home, and life is tight all year round. Thinking of this, seeing that the sun had reached the top of his head, Wang Erlang put down the firewood and sat down by the water, wiping a little sweat from his forehead. took out the bread baked by the daughter-in-law in her arms and ate it.
The dead firewood near the edge of the forest in the village has been picked up by himself, and now this place is far from the edge, I heard that there are villagers in the village near the left who have been eaten by tigers, this place can not stay for a long time, let's return quickly after eating. Wang Erlang was thinking like this, only to hear a tiger roar. A tiger pounced out of the woods.
It's really a good and not a bad spirit, Wang Erlang was so shocked that half of the cake in his hand fell to the ground. His body was stiff and he couldn't move for half a minute, and his lips trembled and he couldn't say a word. Unable to move his eyes as he stared at the approaching tiger. The tiger pounced on him with a sharp swoop. At that moment, Wang Erlang used all his strength to turn to the left, and he was able to dodge the tiger's pounce, and then staggered and ran. He shouted "Help!"
Zhang Youren and Xiaolu walked leisurely in the forest, speaking of which this person and a deer have been more than ten days since that day, Zhang Youren has just attained the Tao for a long time, and it is at the time of consolidation, and the deer is also only enlightened, Zhang Youren's mana has not been completely refined, plus the novelty is extreme. So there is no rush to the road. The two of them walked for four hours to practice, four hours to rest, and four hours to rest, which was enough time in one day. On this day, this person and Yilu were walking while chatting about some of the things they had seen and heard on the path. I suddenly heard a tiger roar, and was about to take a detour, and then I heard another call for help.
Zhang Youren heard the urgent sound of help, coupled with the roar of the tiger, where did he not know what was going on. The toe movement made the mana fly out with a little bit. It is said that Wang Erlang's life should not be extinguished, Wang Erlang ran for his life in a panic and chose a way, went straight to the depths of the forest, and happened to collide with Zhang Youren head-on.
Zhang Youren flew out without breathing, only to see that the tiger had already pounced within a foot of the fleeing person, and if there was another pounce, the fleeing person would be pressed under his claws. Zhang Youren is still about three feet away from the escape. The situation was critical, and he didn't have time to think, so he opened his mouth and shouted
"Evil obstacles, Hugh hurts!"
This is not to care about what kind of law to exercise, Zhang Youren held the dust whisk in his left hand, and his right finger carried a mana and shot straight towards the tiger's forelimbs. Before the tiger could dodge, it screamed and fell to the ground. Wang Erlang ran to Zhang Youren with a roll, gasped for breath and shouted, "Immortal Chief, Immortal Chief, Help." Until this time, Wang Erlang was still in shock. I thought the tiger was going to come and eat him.
It just so happened that the deer drove out of the forest at this time, glanced at the scene form, and got Zhang Youren's secret words, so he ran over like a tiger trying to get up with a wailing.
When Zhang Youren saw the arrival of the deer, a secret word went straight to the deer's ears. Listening to the man in front of him say something he didn't understand, his brows furrowed, if only he had his magic power at this time. You only have to look at it to see what this person is thinking. After thinking carefully for a while, Zhang Youren made a decision against himself.
When Zhang Youren was thinking. Wang Erlang finally calmed down from his panic, the tiger hadn't pounced for so long, and the immortal chief was on the side, why was it the immortal chief? Just because he just came and saw a red light shooting out from the hand of the person in front of him. I must have been saved. When I turned my head, I saw that the tiger's forelimbs were bleeding non-stop, and he was trying to get up. And there is also a deer behind the tiger. Now I can't think about why a deer didn't run for his life when he saw a tiger. Wang Erlang turned his head, pounced, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "Wang Erlang, thank you for the grace of the immortal chief for saving your life."
After Zhang Youren made a legal decision, he saw the rescued person kneeling on the ground and kowtowing and talking, this time Zhang Youren could barely understand what this person said, knowing that his name was Wang Erlang, and he was thanking himself. Zhang Youren shook off the dust and shouted in his mouth, "Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, this strong man, please get up." This is the language of this world deduced from the words of Wang Erlang after casting the spell, so Wang Erlang understands it. But he still kowtowed before getting up.
Wang Erlang was still quite puzzled in his head, what was this "Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable"? It was only at this time that Wang Erlang secretly looked at the life-saving benefactor. That robe is very good-looking, and the pattern on the robe is so powerful. What kind of hat is this on his head, what is it in his hand? It looks like the tail of a horse ridden by an adult who came to the village to collect taxes. Looking at his face again, he saw that this life-saving benefactor was looking at him with a smile, and he was suddenly startled, lowered his head and said in fear, "Immortal Chief, spare your life." As he spoke, his legs were weak and he wanted to kneel.
When Wang Erlang secretly looked at Zhang Youren, Zhang Youren also looked at Wang Erlang, a thick and short hair with long hair tied at the back of his head at will, it is conceivable that this world is not a high-productivity era, his face is ruddy, and it means that he can eat enough, and he can only eat enough, and then look at a bundle of dry firewood in the distance, life is not too rich. And this person has a kind face, and he just happened to be able to save himself when his life was in danger, which shows that he is often kind to others on weekdays, and he must have done a lot of good things unconsciously.
Zhang Youren saw that Wang Erlang was about to kneel again, so he hurriedly helped him up. A whole dress, a slight salute said, "This strong man, poor Dao Zhang Youren, Dao number Miaoxuan, lay people call me Miaoxuan Daochang, or Zhang Daochang." ”
Wang Erlang hurriedly gave a salute and returned, "I've seen Miao Xuan Dao Chang." ”
"Let's not talk about anything else, wait for the poor road to treat the tiger first," Zhang Youren said and walked towards the tiger. "Dao Chief, it's only a beast that wants to eat people, and you still save it?" Wang Erlang followed Zhang Youren and said suspiciously. Zhang Youren immediately stopped and said with a smile to Wang Erlang
"The road is natural, and all things are equal. Tigers forage for food, sheep eat plants and trees, people eat grains, and all things are mutually reinforcing. ”
Wang Erlang's mind was confused, but he didn't dare to say anything, the immortal said that it was even worse, anyway, he was already saved. As long as the tiger isn't eating him, it's fine. Thinking like this, he followed Zhang Youren to the tiger's side. He didn't dare to get too close, but just watched from a distance as Daoist Miao Xuan wiped his hand at the tiger's injured place, and then made some strange gestures, and then wiped it again. Seeing the tiger stand up, he was so frightened that he couldn't help but take two steps back. I only heard Miao Xuan Daoist say to the tiger, "Go, don't harm people's lives in the future." The tiger took two steps back, roared, and ran into the jungle. Then I saw Miao Xuan Dao and the deer coming over.
Zhang Youren watched the rescued tiger leave, then led the road to Wang Erlang and walked over, "Layman, this deer is a poor mount, don't be afraid." Only then did Wang Erlang react to why this deer would not run away when he saw the tiger, thinking that the deer raised by the immortals must be different from ordinary deer.
As soon as the two of them were deer, they walked towards the place where Wang Erlang was sitting and resting and eating bread. Zhang Youren said to Wang Erlang: "The poor Tao is based on the practice of the master in the mountains. Recently, he cultivated Xiaocheng, and then went down the mountain to practice, passing through this place, and dared to ask the name of this place, at this time?"
It was here that the two rested and talked. Wang Erlang does not doubt him. What can an immortal deceive himself? Besides, he may win the favor of the immortals, and he can earn a fairy fate for his own baby.
Later, from the conversation, Zhang Youren learned that Wang Erlang's family lived in Wangjia Village, five miles away from the mountain. This place is Zhengguo Lingshan County, Youlingshan County. Zheng is bordered by the sea to the east, Lingshan to the west, Zhou to the north, and Wu to the south. Zheng Guo has been the current ruler for twenty years. In the country, it is regarded as the main virtuous minister, the government is harmonious, and in recent years, the wind and rain have been smooth, and the people's lives are quite passable.
Zhang Youren has been here for 100 days, and this is less than one percent of this life.
It was not early, and Wang Erlang warmly invited Zhang Youren to return to the village with him. Zhang Youren felt that it was not impossible. and Wang Erlang reflected the sunset and went east.
