Time: Approaching the Chinese New Year.

Location: At the foot of Paradise Mountain, my home.

Weather: Sunny.

I snatched the red envelope from Xiaoya's hand, and when I opened it, I found that there were only two yuan in it, and I couldn't help but have black lines on my head.

"Dead fatty, you actually gave two dollars as a gift to my mother, and this was stolen from the coffin shop." I grabbed the old fat by the collar and roared.

"What are you anxious about?"

Lao Fei pulled my hand away, coughed dryly twice, and said, "Etiquette is light and affectionate, besides, Auntie, wasn't she very happy just now?" ”

"That's because she didn't know that your red envelope was stolen from the coffin shop, really...... I don't even know what to say to you, can the contents of the coffin shop be moved randomly? Can you do things more reliably in the future? I reached out to my forehead, looking helpless.

"Why is Lao Tzu unreliable? Didn't you just take away two red envelopes? What could be a big deal about this? ”

Lao Fei said with an indifferent face: "The two of them let me sleep in the coffin, making me unlucky, and Lao Tzu didn't care." ”

"Do you still care? Worry about a fart, if it weren't for Xiao Ying this time, it is estimated that you would never wake up for the rest of your life. I scolded.

Lao Fei spread his hands: "One yard is one yard, sleeping in a coffin and saving lives have nothing to do with each other." ”

Seeing that he didn't eat oil and salt, he finally had to sigh helplessly, didn't bother to pay attention to him, went out with a sickle, and went to the field to pick vegetables at the request of his mother.

Xiaoya chased after her from behind and said I'll go with me.

In the evening, at the dinner table, my parents, Lao Fei, Lin Miao and Xiaoya sat together, and the second elder looked at me and Lao Fei gobbling up, and couldn't help frowning.

"Tianyan, don't you usually cook on Heavenly Mountain? How can you be hungry like this? Really, I knew it would be like this, and I don't know which thread of the old man broke and actually asked you to be his successor/successor. Mom shook her head and sighed.

Speaking of the old man, I couldn't help but think of the corpse I saw in the meteorite before, and for a while my heart was mixed, and I ate faster.

I did not dare to tell them about it, for fear that they would be worried and disturb their peaceful life.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Jingmei, you usually live in the mountains, will she come to see you? Will you come back for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner? Mom asked about Jingmei again.

I swallowed the food in my mouth and replied, "I have to ask Jingmei about this before she knows, although we are married, when some things are still up to her." ”

My mother smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to you giving me a white and chubby grandson now, I don't know ...... her."

At this time, the father on the side suddenly made a look at the mother, the latter was halfway through the words, suddenly remembered something, glanced at the old fat and Lin Miao suddenly changed the topic: "Anyway, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, it's about to be the New Year, do you have a holiday?" ”

"How can their mountain guards have annual leave?" Dad replied on the side: "When his grandfather was guarding the mountain before, he didn't come back for Chinese New Year's Eve food, food, housing and transportation were all on the mountain, hey...... I don't know how his grandfather is now? No matter how you say that you will leave, you will leave, and you will not be able to greet our juniors, and the phone will not get through. ”

Looking at my father's appearance, I was really worried about my grandfather, and I was relieved: "You don't know the character of the old man, since my grandmother left, I haven't been in love with my family for decades, and now the courage on my shoulders has been left behind, so I naturally have to wander outside." ”

"That's right, there are so many beautiful women outside, maybe he is obsessed with a square dancing grandma and doesn't want to come back?" Old Fat interjected.

My mother was stunned for a moment, and said with a straight face: "Don't talk nonsense, how old are you, and you are still glamorous/encountered, and you are not afraid of laughing off your big teeth." ”

Dad shook his head and said, "I checked his body a few years ago, and he is still very healthy, so there should be no accidents." Tianyan, if you contact grandpa, tell him to come back and come back to live with us. After all, when you are old, it is easy to have an accident without personal care. ”

"Got it."

I nodded in agreement.

To fill my stomach, I took a hot shower and went back to my room to lie on the bed/rest.

As for Lin Miao and Lao Fei, the second elder would naturally arrange them.

But Lao Fei has slept for a few days, and he is in good spirits at this time. When I went back to my room, I saw him still drinking and chatting with my dad in the hall.

As the saying goes, a golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as your own kennel.

The bed at home is always the most comfortable to sleep in, the room is still hung with big red things, a big/large word is pasted on the wall, and there are all kinds of makeup under the mirror.

Seeing things and thinking about people, sitting on the bed, looking at the layout in the room, I couldn't help but think of Jingmei on the day of marriage.

The wedding dress is matched with a beautiful woman, I think of Jingmei's slightly shy, but beautiful appearance when I took off the red hijab. I remember that when she visited the church, she said that "the hand of the son grows old with the son".

I remember the first time we met at Paradise Mountain, and I remember the scene when we sat by the reservoir and talked all night......

From the time I met her to now, the time is very short, but her figure, her voice and appearance have been deeply imprinted in my heart, not for anything else, just because she is my wife.

Maybe I should go to the green bamboo forest, and I should go into the Shuanglong Cave to see her.

I had been running away from her, I missed her, but I was afraid to face her, which was a very ambivalent feeling.

But since the catastrophe of life and death in the underground burial lake, I have found that I have been unable to extricate myself from her thoughts. What Daomen Heavenly Master's Mansion, what March Three Dao Conference, none of these matters to me.

I just want to see her now, take her into my arms, warm her cold body,

The quilt seemed to still have the residual fragrance of her body, and I slept peacefully and soundly this night.

I didn't think about the Tujia people, ghost lanterns, and other things I experienced when I entered the 100,000 mountains, and even forgot that there was a worm king parasitic in my body.

The next morning, after eating the breakfast prepared by my parents, Lao Fei and Lin Miao and I left the village and climbed Heavenly Mountain back to the house by the reservoir.

After setting up Jingmei's tablet and putting the mountain whip next to it, I put a stick of incense.

Not long after, a man came up the mountain to find us, and this person was Yan Xiaoying.

When I saw her coming, I immediately had a bad premonition, as if she was coming to me, and something bad was always happening.

"We just met yesterday, and you came up the mountain today, did something happen?" I welcomed Yan Xiaoying into the living room and asked very vigilantly.

Yan Xiaoying sat down, gave me a blank look, and said, "Can't I come to you if it's okay?" ”

"Are you alright? Just to visit us? I asked in disbelief.

Yan Xiaoying groaned and didn't speak for a long time.

Seeing her like this, I chuckled in my heart, sighed and said, "Say it." ”

At this time, Lao Fei took Lin Miao out of the utility room, and when he saw Yan Xiaoying, the former immediately shrank his neck and said, "This...... I haven't been patrolling the mountains for a few days, and just when the wood came, I took him to the mountains to get acquainted with the beautiful scenery of our Heavenly Mountain. ”

Lao Fei winked at Lin Miao as he spoke, and motioned for him to go patrolling the mountain with him.

Unexpectedly, Lin Miao didn't look at him, and said lightly: "I came here once many years ago, and there is nothing to see on the mountain." ”

"Dead fatty, I want to run away when I see it, are you a thief?" Yan Xiaoying crossed her hands on her hips and asked with a snort.

"Where?"

The fat man laughed dryly: "Isn't this for the sake of the friendship of the landlord?" ”

"Friendship of landlords!" Yan Xiaoying sneered: "You've only been here for a few days?" He hasn't figured out the situation on the mountain yet, and Tianyan will take him to the best of the landlord's friendship. But I have something to tell him, and I guess I'm not available. ”

"What's the matter?"

I asked again curiously.

Yan Xiaoying hesitated a little, and finally suddenly said softly: "Come to your room, I'll tell you in detail." ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then I saw the old fat smile meaningfully: "I understand, I understand, I'll leave with this wood right now, and I won't bother you, hehe...... Ha ha...... Have fun. ”

Seeing that Lao Fei dragged Lin Miao out of the door, and didn't forget to give me a thumbs up, he couldn't help but look at Yan Xiaoying with black lines and frowned: "Is there anything you can't let them know?" ”

"It's about letting you improve your strength, your strength is too weak, and you haven't received the true inheritance of the mountain guards, and there will be a discussion conference soon, when you will definitely be on the cusp of the storm, if you don't have enough strength, it will be difficult to protect yourself."

Yan Xiaoying paused, and then said, "Let's not talk about it from afar, even if you are a ghost boy in the mountain whip, if you don't have enough strength, it will be a threat to your life. ”

When I heard this, I immediately became interested: "Improve your strength? In addition to the spirit baby fruit and the elixir, what other ways to improve the strength? ”

"Improving your strength is not something that happens overnight, even if the Spirit Infant Fruit and the Elixir do not have corresponding cultivation methods, it is difficult to break through the limits of the human body and reach the spiritual realm."

Yan Xiaoying said as she reached into her arms, took out a palm-sized handwritten book from the sticker/body and handed it to me.

"This is the hand-copied notebook I found in the Evergreen Temple before, which not only records the meditation and pranayama breathing method of the Daomen, but also the practice of talisman spells, and the last few pages also record the strange evil techniques including corpse raising and puppetry, but those pages were torn off by my grandmother."

"Evergreen Daoist's cultivation skills/methods?"

I was surprised and delighted, but then I remembered something, and frowned: "The Evergreen Daoist is a person from the Heavenly Master's Mansion, if we let those people know that we practice the exercises/methods recorded in this book, will it ......?"

Before I finished speaking, Yan Xiaoying nodded and said: "So this matter must be kept secret, and we must not let the people of the Heavenly Master's Mansion know that the exercises/methods of the Evergreen Daoist are in our hands, but the meditation and breathing methods of the several major sects of the Dao Sect are all similar, but the techniques are different, you and I don't say it, they shouldn't see it."

"Besides, it's not easy to practice the things mentioned above, if you can practice the exercises/Fa, then this world is already full of cultivators, what kind of scientific research are you doing? What to learn? ”

"The road of cultivation is not easy, such as singing, three minutes on stage and ten years of work off the stage, this is not just talking." Yan Xiaoying looked at me and said, "Besides, I don't know the techniques of the Daomen, so I can only rely on you to explore it by yourself in the future, so that it will be easier to go to the fork in the road without the guidance of the first person......

While listening to Yan Xiaoying's bitter words, I couldn't wait to open the manuscript book......
