Chapter 7 The Enemy of Love
"The reservoir was built decades ago as a deep inlet, and I didn't notice it for decades. It wasn't until a few months ago that I saw a water buffalo drinking on the shore being dragged into the water from a distance while standing on the embankment. ”
The old man was rare to be serious, and said with a calm face: "Since it dares to appear, it means that it has become a Jiao." This kind of thing is the last thing we mountain guards want to see, but now ...... But here we have one. Hey, pity me, an old man who is about to step into a coffin, and I have to face this kind of thing in the last time. ”
The old man said that when a snake becomes a spirit, it likes to devour spiritual things the most, which can help it practice.
So he fished for March, caught a red carp, and used the red carp as bait, trying to lure it out and strangle it in the reservoir before it became a climate.
However, in the past few days, there has been no movement of the snake.
However, the whole reservoir is just such a red carp that is about to become a spirit, and I am not afraid that it will not be baited. I just hope that there will be no sudden rainstorms or typhoons during this time.
When the time comes, it will break through the dam of the reservoir and flood, and tens of thousands of villagers at the bottom of the mountain will probably suffer.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but gasp, I couldn't imagine that the burden on the shoulders of the mountain guards was so heavy, and the lives of tens of millions of people were at stake at every turn.
I'm not a fool, since the old man handed me the mountain axe to chase and kill the female ghost, I knew that he was planning to carry the burden, but I didn't know that the mountain keeper was such a dangerous job?
To kill the existence of a chengjiao, isn't this a praying mantis blocking the car?
"Boy, don't look at me like this, I was also pitted in by the previous mountain keeper in the first place."
The old man sighed, and said to himself: "You kid should be content, at least you now have a mountain god Niangniang as a wife, poor old man, I had nothing at the beginning, the first time I got rid of the demons in the mountains, and I was given a coffin, do you say unlucky?" ”
"You're talking about the black coffin that you've been hiding under your bed like a baby? It turned out to be someone else's gift, and I thought you made it for yourself! I was stunned.
"Shit, the coffin was there decades ago, did I make a coffin for myself decades ago? But the black coffin is made of good gloomy wood, and the handiwork is also good, I am reluctant to throw away the good baby, haha! ”
My curiosity came up and I asked, "Who sent it to you?" Could it be the old lady Yan who opened a big red coffin shop at the foot of the mountain? You didn't have a leg when you were younger, did you? I heard that the old lady Yan was a flower in the village when she was young, and she was very beautiful, but then she opened a coffin shop somehow, and she hasn't married yet. ”
"Stinky boy, you gossip a lot!" The old man said very stinkily: "I think that your grandfather and I were also famous handsome young people in ten miles and eight towns, and there are so many girls who think of spring who are sad, and it is reasonable not to marry for life." ”
The old man had to say so, but I could clearly see the unnaturalness hidden under his exaggerated expression, and I didn't ask anymore for now. Anyway, it's all old, who didn't have such an unforgettable love when they were young?
"Even if the carp can lure the snake out, how do we get rid of it?" I changed the subject and asked the old man.
"I was worried about this some time ago, but I don't need to do it now."
"Hehe, that Sun Pu took out the Heavenly Master Sword, and there was such a big battle last night, the people of the Daomen had already noticed this. They are on the right path, and when they see the snake, they will take care of it. This is a good thing to accumulate merit, and besides, there are a lot of treasures on the snake. Now, we just need to draw it out. ”
"I'll leave it to you here, I'll go back and sleep, I'm too tired."
The old man was about to leave with a little tune, but I hurriedly stopped him and said with a bitter face: "Old fellow, this ...... This snake fishing is no joke, don't leave me here alone. In case it does come out accidentally, the little carp will not be enough to stuff its teeth, and then it will look at my flesh again, I am afraid that it will ...... Not so good......"
"What are you panicking about? All the spirits in the mountains, except for a very few people, are not afraid of yin and yang. Besides, the snake has been lurking and cultivating for hundreds of years before turning into a Jiao, so is it a matter of day and night to lure it out? The sun hasn't set yet, and you can fish it out, count your luck back. ”
"Then your old man came to fish for Jiao at noon, isn't this purely a pastime?"
I was speechless, speaking of which, the old man was probably afraid that the snake would appear, so he chose a time when it would not show up to fish.
"Who says I'm a pastime? The snake likes yin, but the red carp likes the sun, and the big red carp is what I caught just now. The old man glared at me and walked away.
Looking at the old man's dashing back, I let out a long sigh, sat in the shade of the tree and looked at the water, anyway, it would be okay to go back, just sit here and fish for Jiao. I won't be told by the old man, I am so lucky......
Life is lonely, and it's really boring to fish for Jiao!
The sun is warm and the trees are shady, making it the perfect place to sleep.
At first, I was still interested, but after half an hour, the sleepy insect got on and leaned against the tree and fell asleep unconsciously.
Accompanied by green mountains and green waters, I slept very comfortably, and I didn't know how long I slept until the cold wind blew and the water splashed on my face.
By the time I opened my eyes, it was completely dark. The waves were rolling in front of me, and in the blurred skylight, I could faintly see a behemoth like a mountain churning in the water, and the fishing rod I had grabbed in my hand had long since disappeared.
"Snake!"
I gasped, and in my blur, I felt that the body of the snake was everywhere in the water, and I didn't know how long, and the waves rolled ashore one after another, and the eerie cold air rushed to my face.
I covered my mouth and kept myself from making a sound, and quietly retreated into the woods, then spread my feet and ran wildly.
Just kidding, how can such a behemoth be contended by man? Even if the Evergreen Daoist came, he would only have to flee in front of him.
A snake is just so terrifying, you can imagine how terrifying the two-headed evil dragon they faced was at the beginning.
I ran away, wishing that my parents would give me a few more legs, and finally I saw the house standing on the embankment, and I crashed into it before I could even open the door.
The door slammed open, but knocked a man to the ground.
"Stinky boy, frizzy, what are you doing? These old bones of mine were almost shattered by you. The old man fell to the ground, swearing.
"Oh no...... That Jiao...... It really appeared...... "I lifted the old man from the ground, and his tongue and head were a little unstraight.
"Say what?"
The old man was surprised, and he didn't care about the pain in his buttocks, and asked me with a happy eyebrow: "Did it really appear?" ”
Seeing me nodding, he immediately burst out laughing: "It was just the right time to appear, and we have to let the people of the Daomen know that our Heavenly Mountain is not a good place, hum." ”
Thinking of the horror of the snake, my thighs are still trembling now, and at the same time, I silently feel sad for those people in the Daomen. I don't know what grudge the old man has against them?
Even I suspect that all this was calculated by the old fellow.
As I got to know the profession of a mountain guard, the more I felt that the old man was unpredictable. His every move, every word, and even his eyes seemed to be a play.
I sighed in my heart, the old guy is so brilliant in acting, he can't even tell the truth from the fake, it's a pity that people like him don't compete for the best actor.
I asked the old man, we live on the embankment, will the snake attack us?
The old man reassured me, he said that when he built the embankment, he had already asked the mountain god Niangniang, and there was a spirit rune town library tablet. Unless there is a flood and the water level rises sharply, the snake will not easily approach the side of the levee.
On top of that, there are countless sharp spears buried under the embankment, and if the water level does not rise, it will not dare to approach.
After all, the bridge was destroyed only as an economic loss, and if the reservoir burst, it would endanger the lives of thousands of people.
Needless to say, which is more important.
"The snake has eaten a spiritual creature like a red carp, which can withstand decades of cultivation. It's a pity, if this thing is used to make a pot of fish soup, it will definitely be a great tonic, maybe I can live a few more years, old man. ”
"Old fellow, you are fierce now, and I don't think you can die for a while."
"How do you talk to your elders? I'm your grandfather, I can't die at this time, what should you do if you die? The old man glared at me.
"Without you, I don't think my life would be too bad." I muttered in my heart, but I didn't dare to say it, for fear of eating a hammer.
There's no way, it's too uncomfortable to get along with the old man, when he is happy, he calls you a brother, and when he is unhappy, he uses the elders' shelves to press you, and the life of these days can be described as deep and hot.
But when it comes to carp soup, I'm hungry now, and the snake won't come to the embankment anyway, so I don't have to worry about it anymore, and I want to find something to eat when I go into the house.
"Your kid is still in the mood to eat, and your daughter-in-law is about to be snatched away."
"What do you mean?"
I looked at the old man puzzled.
"I received news that the Taoist priest of the Evergreen Temple took a young man up the mountain to ask for a meeting with the mountain god Niangniang. This time, the Heavenly Master's Mansion is well prepared, and it is bound to take back the Heavenly Master Sword. I heard that they brought three gifts up the mountain, and each gift was of great use to the mountain god Niangniang. On top of that, the young man was going to propose to the mountain god Niangniang. ”
"What, someone pried the corner?"
I was shocked and angry and asked, "What is the origin of the young man from the Heavenly Master's Mansion?" What kind of gift did you bring? ”
"Hehe, the family is very big, this person's surname is Lu Mingji, I heard that he is a disciple of the head of the sect. Huigen is psychic, which makes many older characters sigh, and he is the rising star of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, known as the little Heavenly Master. ”
You must know that the word Heavenly Master is a symbol of strength and prestige in the Daomen, not anyone dares to call himself a Heavenly Master, even if it is crowned with a small character in the front, Lu Ji dares to admit that this name must be extraordinary.
And the old man then said that the Heavenly Master's Mansion brought three gifts this time, the first one is the mountain seal, although this seal is not as good as the Heavenly Master's Sword, but its biggest role is to suppress. Using it to suppress the soul of the resentful dragon is even more effective than the Heavenly Master Sword. Because this seal contains the luck of the Dao Gate, the seal of the mountain is equivalent to the arrival of the entire Heavenly Master's Mansion.
The second gift is a small fragment of the nine-turn golden pill, this thing is bigger, and it is said that a nine-turn golden pill can achieve the position of the golden immortal. Golden Immortals were also extremely rare in ancient times, let alone in this era of the end of the law. Even if the fragment of the Nine Turns Golden Pill was less than one ten-thousandth of the original, it was still an unavoidable treasure. With it, the mountain god Niangniang can fade the yin qi on her body and condense her true body.
The third is also a heavy treasure, although this treasure has little effect, but it is a symbol of status. The seal of the mountain god, with it, the mountain god Niangniang can be regarded as sitting on the position of the mountain god.
The mountain god without the divine seal is just a pseudo-god, and I don't know how the Heavenly Master's Mansion got the mountain god seal?
After listening to the old man's words, my whole face was extremely bad, and I asked a little unconfidently: "The mountain god Niangniang has already promised to marry me, she shouldn't accept other men, right?" ”
"I could be sure in the past, but the three things brought by the Heavenly Master's Mansion are too important to the mountain god Niangniang, and now I can't say for sure, old man, after all, the difference is too great to compare."
"What now?"
I don't know why, I heard that someone proposed to the mountain god Niangniang with a heavy treasure, I was very uneasy, and at the same time sour, maybe jealous.
