Chapter 18: Catching the Water Demon
[The book continues from the above, and the last book said that the people of the lock dragon acted in two ways, Miaotian and Miaoyu went to Guanyin Mountain to investigate, and it was already dark when they came to the mountain. When they found the seal in the mountain, they found that the seal had indeed been tampered with. It was with a sword or something like that, and it was to divide the seal in two. Led out Miaotian carefully surveyed the seal, and found that the sealing mana went straight into the mountain, connected to the lake, and also found that there was a breath that he was very familiar with, which was the breath of the person who used the thunder method that he noticed in the small courtyard where the master of the Seven Halls of the Immortal Dao was buried, which was the breath of Liu Yang, the current master of the Immortal Dao. 】
The mountains are dark, and the fields are gloomy. The faint starlight on the sky is difficult to stretch out, and the broad canopy of trees that has covered the sky and the sun is also difficult to shine on the soil and rocks on Guanyin Mountain.
On the mountain immersed in darkness, the only light still came from the majestic temples and towering pavilions that loomed among the trees in the distance, but the location of Miao Tian and Miao Yu was completely shrouded in a heavy black curtain.
If the stone Buddha is put together, it is a Buddha statue with his hands folded and his legs crossed, with a round and plump face. The facial features are generous and gentle, kind, and not angry and self-assured.
It's just that now it has been split in two by a sharp weapon, and there are several cracks between the facial features, and the appearance is slightly hideous.
Judging from the scattered vines and plants on the exterior of the stone statue, and a little green moss, it is obvious that the stone statue has been standing here for a short time, and the time when the seal in the stone statue was broken would not have been a day or two ago; That's why it's like this.
The surrounding trees dyed by the autumn frost shook in the wind, and a few jackdaws flew over from a distance, quietly landing on the branches, not crying or singing, slightly tilting their heads through the gaps between the branches and leaves, looking at the wonderful sky under the trees.
I saw that under the mountain breeze, Miaotian's hand gently rested on the broken mouth of the stone Buddha, and slowly closed his eyes and gathered his energy. Miaoyu on the side also watched Miaotian's every move quietly without squeaking.
Miao Tian is using his touch to perceive where the power of the Dharma seal remaining in the stone Buddha will extend. Miao's innate perception is stronger than that of ordinary people, and he can sense the source or direction of this qi in a moment after he comes into contact with a certain qi.
In other words, today's Miaotian is to re-perceive the residual Buddha qi contained in the stone Buddha, where will it extend? Is it a seal to suppress the old dragon?
After a while, Miao Tian had already sensed the strong Buddha qi in the stone Buddha that went straight to the mountain under his feet, and then flowed through the rock formations, extending to the lake below the mountain. Moreover, in the Dharma in the lake, there is still a familiar demonic aura, the one they noticed at the seabed in the afternoon, and the demonic aura disappeared without a trace with the sudden fog.
From the stone Buddha in the wild all the year round, after the wind and rain, there is only a little moss vines on the body, but there is no potholes. There is also a seal broken, but there is still a strong Buddha breath in it, and from the point of view of lingering for a long time, the old monk who laid the seal must be a monk who has attained the Tao.
As far as cultivation is concerned, the old monk who laid this seal is no less than Miaotian Miaoyu. On the contrary, the person who can break this seal is by no means an idle person.
"It's indeed a seal, and the power of the Dharma leads through the rock formations to the lake below, and I also feel that at noon, the demonic energy disappears in front of our eyes with the mist." Listening to the sound of the waves under the mountain, Miao Tian slowly said this while frowning.
"In this way, it must be suppressing the seal of the old dragon." Hearing this, Miao Yu casually looked around, then retracted his gaze, and through the darkness fell on the stone Buddha that was split into two and gradually lay in the grass, and muttered softly: "But who broke this seal?" What is the purpose? ”。
Miao Tian didn't answer, and her voice was very soft, echoing leisurely in the forest in the dark night, sounding like talking to herself. At such a close distance, Miao Yu could also sense the strong Buddha energy contained in the stone Buddha, and it was expected that the person who cast the spell must not be a small role.
The night breeze blew again, blowing the surrounding branches and leaves and weeds on the ground, and the dead yellow leaves fell in a row.
The jackdaws perched on the branches were startled, fluttering their wings and flying up from among the branches, bringing a messy noise and shaking off a few long feathers as black as night.
Miaotian, who was squatting on the ground, frowned even tighter, and a trace of consternation flashed in his eyes.
The hand he had already intended to raise, after a slight pause, was once again clinging to the broken spot on the stone Buddha's body.
Miaoyu on the side also felt Miaotian's mood change, so she asked, "What's wrong?" ”。
Miao Tian didn't answer, and then concentrated on perceiving and touching the break. There was silence all around, and the air froze.
After a long time, Miaotian's wide eyes narrowed slightly, and the consternation in his eyes faded a little, but there was still a little. Then, he stood up, still frowning, and when he turned his head to look at Miao Yu, he suddenly asked without a head: "Do you remember, after we solved the Immortal Dao three months ago, I mentioned to you the mysterious person who solved the escaped Immortal Daoist who was tracked down?" ”。
The abruptness of this question made Miaoyu stunned suddenly; After a little recollection, I remembered that there was such a thing.
But when they all heard it, they thought it was incredible. There are no more than ten strange people in the land of China, who can escape from under the nose of Miaotian, who is skilled in tracking, on land.
In other words, if Miao Tian wanted to track down Mu Qingming, then Mu Qingming might not be able to escape smoothly from under his nose.
But according to Miaotian, the mysterious man really escaped without a trace under his nose. Except for the remaining qi left after casting the thunder spell, there were no other clues, and Miao Tian didn't even know in what direction he had escaped.
Thinking of this, Miao Yu said with a slight chin on his head: "Of course I remember, wasn't it because of this that the young master was even more sure that there were still remnants of the Immortal Dao in the area of Spring City, and that mysterious person might be the unfathomable Seven Hall Master who had never shown up?" ”。
However, there was still a little suspicion in his eyes, I don't know why Miaotian suddenly mentioned this matter?
"On the fracture of the stone Buddha, I sensed the same qi as that mysterious person. You know, except for our dragon lockers who practice Qi, the other strange people practice Qi. Their bodies have not been refined by their supernatural powers, and they cannot carry the Qi of the origin of all things in heaven and earth other than themselves, and they can only use exercises to turn Qi into qi, so they will all carry their own breath. Miaotian, who has never talked much, suddenly became a chatterbox, and said at length: "And the qi that this person left on the scene has its own breath." And I felt his breath on the fracture of the stone Buddha here. But it's already very faint, almost nothing, so it should be that he came here a long time ago and broke this seal to release the water demon. ”。
"Could it be that the Immortal Dao also has something to do with this matter?" Miao Yu, who hadn't been able to react yet, bowed her head slightly and muttered, "Why is there an immortal path anywhere?" Why do they always rely on this place in Spring City to do evil? ”。
"I don't know." Miao Tian shook his head silently.
The night wind rose again, and the trees and weeds around them trembled again. The falling leaves swirled gently with the wind in the dark night, Miaotian turned around and stood facing east, raised his eyes to look in the direction of the small fishing village by the grass sea, and said lightly: "We have to inform the young master quickly." ”......
The small fishing village by the grass sea is even quieter as night falls. The wind blows the grass, and the green bamboo in the village sifts the wind and the moon. The sound of the lake crashing on the shore and the faint sound of the waves from not far away make this small village immersed in the night even more comfortable.
The main house of the Han family is still brightly lit. For several years, I haven't gone deep into the deep mountains and old forests, the desert grasslands to punish evil spirits and eliminate demons, and Mu Qingming, who is used to eating fine ingredients in the past, feels that the coarse tea and light rice made by Han's mother has a unique flavor. With his index finger moving, he feasted on it and gently patted his slightly bulging lower abdomen.
Seeing that he and Mo Han both showed satisfied expressions after eating, Ben was still worried about whether he would neglect their Han mother, so he was relieved and satisfied.
During their meal, Han's mother, who trusted Mu Qingming, had carefully explained everything she had heard about the water demon from her son to Mu Qingming and Mo Hanzai. Even the death of Da Mao's father was simply said.
And Mu Qingming also knew that one of the water demons, that is, the water monkey, actually saved Han Damao, as Mo Han expected, the water monkey looked hateful, but there was kindness hidden under the vicious appearance. As for Han Damao's poisoning, it should be that Lao Yan's water column with poisonous blood penetrated the shoulder blades of the water monkey and landed on Da Mao's face and mouth that opened because of surprise.
"This meal is really delicious." Mu Qingming stopped his chopsticks, looked at the leftovers on the table in front of him, sighed heartily, put away the joy on his face, raised his eyes to look at Han's mother opposite, and asked seriously: "Da Mao said that the water demon who saved him was his father, is this true?" ”。
As soon as the words fell, in the oil lamp standing in the middle of the table, the wick erected in the lamp oil made a crackling sound, and the bean-sized candle flame on the wick swayed, bringing a shaky shadow.
Han's mother, who was not in a hurry to answer, turned her head to look at the simple tablet in front of the shrine standing next to the wall not far away, on the offering table in front of the main house, and slowly turned her head, bowed her head slightly, avoided Mu Qingming's gaze, showed a little bitterness on her face, and said slowly after smiling faintly: "Maybe the child misses his father too much, so he hopes so much, right?" ”。
As Han Mu's words landed, the room fell silent again.
"But the gods, can you let him go for the sake of that water demon who saved my child, whether he is my husband or not?" After a long time, Han Mu suddenly looked up at Mu Qingming, and the pleading in her eyes made Mo Han beside Mu Qingming shocked.
I can't help but think of when she took Mei Xiang around to seek medical treatment, it was the same.
Mu Qing pondered for a while, and finally nodded slowly, and said leisurely: "Heaven still has the virtue of a good life, that water demon not only does not do evil but also saves people and does good, of course I will not harm him." ”。
That water demon is a rescuer, it's already certain. Mu Qingming had already made up his mind in an instant, if he wanted to catch the old snake in the vast Dianchi Lake and the vast lake, he had to cooperate with the water monkey and the water demon.
However, the water demon seemed to be jealous of him and Mo Han, and Mu Qingming had to find a way to lure this water demon out and 'catch' it first, and then he could talk about their cooperation.
Thinking of this, Mu Qingming fell into a deep groan again and thought about countermeasures.
