Chapter 8: Grandpa's Abnormality

"Although it's a little inappropriate, but if something like this happens, I don't think you kid will feel at ease if you don't go and see it for yourself."

The old man muttered, "Let's go, let's go up the mountain and have a look." ”

That night, the old man and I went up the mountain in the dark by moonlight, the old man has lived here for decades, and knows every grass and flower here.

It took more than half an hour for us to finally enter the green bamboo forest.

The bamboo forest was dense enough to block out the moonlight, so we had to turn on our flashlights and turn them off when we approached the Ssangyong Cave.

From a distance, I saw that the candles at the entrance of Shuanglong Cave were bright, and the surrounding bamboo was in a mess, like a typhoon and rain, which was probably caused by the violent and moving soul of the resentful dragon that night.

The closer I got, the more nervous I became.

I don't know where this tension came from, it stands to reason that I only have a relationship with the mountain god Niangniang, and she hasn't even said a word to me except for the words on the tablet.

But feelings are often so wonderful, even if the identity is very different, but her image in my mind has gradually been established in the past few days.

Or subconsciously, I've thought of her as my own woman.

My grandfather and I touched the bamboo next to the stone cliff and hid it, gently brushed aside the bamboo leaves blocking our eyes, and looked towards the entrance of the Shuanglong Cave.

At this sight, I couldn't help but change my face and feel ashamed.

Unlike the last time my grandfather and I came, the Heavenly Master's Mansion this time can be described as a mobilization of teachers, there are nine Taoists present alone, and each Taoist has a Zhai Dip Mage Sword hanging on his body, and the Evergreen Daoist can only stand at the bottom.

The nine Taoists stood in a row on both sides, and in front of them there was an unknown time when there was a square stone platform, and there was a statue standing on the stone platform. Graceful and beautiful, it is eight points similar to the mountain god Niangniang, but it is a little less cold and a little more sacred.

There is an offering table in front of the statue, and in addition to the incense candles on the table, there are three more offerings, the mountain seal of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, the fragment of the Nine Turns Jindan, and the seal of the mountain god.

There is a young Taoist standing there in front of the offering table, from the side, this person has a superb temperament, rich as jade, although he is wearing a Taoist robe, and his waist is dipped in a mage sword, but he can't hide his graceful heroic spirit.

He stood there as if he had become a world of his own, and I couldn't help but feel ashamed of myself. In this world, perhaps only such a dragon among people can be worthy of the beautiful appearance of the mountain god Niangniang, who is crowned with ancient and modern beauty, right?

I feel bitter in my heart, this kind of pomp, this kind of temperament is not something I can have, if the mountain god Niangniang accepts him, it is understandable, after all, the three important things, each of which is extremely important to her.

I suddenly didn't want to see the next result, because I didn't dare to face it, everyone has a cowardly and inferior side, in front of these people, what are I worth?

The old man seemed to know what was going on in my heart, and reached out and patted me lightly on the shoulder, signaling me to calm down and see what happened next.

Seeing the old man's calm expression, my mind was a little calm, and then the little heavenly master Lu Ji began to burn incense and pray, and he also lit four incense sticks, but the material was obviously of the highest quality.

Before he had read more than half of the Lu Ji sacrifice, a cold wind suddenly blew out of the dark and gloomy Shuanglong Cave, and then the sound of footsteps sounded, and someone was about to come out of it.

Hearing the footsteps, my heart was even more bitter, when I came with my grandfather, she didn't show up at all. Now, the marriage proposal has not been fully read, and she can't wait to come out.

In the pitch-black Shuanglong Cave, a beautiful shadow became clearer and clearer, and finally, her stunning beauty was revealed to the world.

Dressed in red, with beautiful hair, wisdom and beauty, he flew up to the stone platform, and the moon in the sky standing there was also discolored, far from being comparable to the stone statue next to him.

She glanced at the three things on the table, her face softened slightly, and then she looked at Lu Ji in front of her and the Taoists in the audience.

"People from the Heavenly Master's Mansion, why are you here?"

Under the gaze of the mountain god Niangniang, even Na Lu Ji couldn't help lowering his head at this time, and replied: "In Xia Lu Ji, on the order of the head of the sect, I hold the mountain seal, the fragment of the Nine Turns Jindan and the mountain god seal, and I have come to propose to the mountain god Niangniang." ”

That Lu Ji said very directly, without the slightest concealment, which is also his excellence.

When the mountain god Niangniang heard this, her face did not change in the slightest, but her eyes fell on Lu Ji and looked at the latter.

"You want to marry me?"

Lu Ji looked up at the mountain god Niangniang, and said in a loud voice: "Lu Ji has admired the mountain god Niangniang since he was a child, and he is willing to marry Niangniang as his wife. ”

"Humph! The tone is not small, I don't know if you have that kind of qualification? ”

"Back to Niangniang, Lu Ji's nephew has practiced Taoism since he was a child, and his understanding is unique, he is the most promising person to step into the immortal road in a hundred years." An old man in the audience stood up and answered.

"The qualifications are good, and I need these three things too, but ...... I can't marry you. The mountain god said, glancing toward where I was hiding.

Her words echoed in the bamboo forest, and all the Taoists were stunned, looking at the mountain god Niangniang in bewilderment.

"Why did the mother reject me?"

Lu Ji asked unwillingly.

"One daughter doesn't marry a second husband, you are a step late, Jingmei already has a husband, and she will not marry a second person in this life."

After the mountain god Niangniang finished speaking, regardless of everyone's stunned expressions, she turned around and floated down the stone platform, walked into the Shuanglong Cave, and gradually disappeared into the darkness.

As she left, a strong wind blew up on the field, and the candles on the offering table were blown out at once.

"Click, click!"

The statue of the mountain god Niangniang cracked, and then shattered with a thud.

"Since Niangniang already has a husband, please return the Heavenly Master Sword, it is the treasure of the Daomen, and it cannot be lost."

The old Taoist priest who praised Lu Ji saw the mountain god Niangniang leaving, he was the first to come back to his senses and quickly catch up, but after all, he didn't dare to step into the forbidden place in the cave, and arched his hand outside the stone cave.

However, after waiting for a long time, the cave was quiet, and there was no response.

"It's too much deception, it's just a wisp of ghost, is it really that there is no one in my Daomen!"

The old Taoist priest's face was pale, and he was about to rush in with the sword of the Zhai Dip Master, but was finally stopped by the rest of the Taoists.

"Let's go, there's nothing to see anymore."

The old man whispered something to me, then turned around and quietly left the bamboo forest.

On the way back, my mood couldn't calm down for a long time, and my mind kept echoing the words of the mountain god Niangniang, "If a daughter doesn't marry a second husband, she won't marry a second person in this life".

"What is the kid smiling, the mountain god Niangniang is affectionate and righteous, and for you to give up the opportunity to be promoted to the god position, fade the yin qi, and condense the true body. If you kid let others down in the future, I will not let you go first, old man. ”

I felt a little like I was in a dream, and it was not real to walk lightly, and the mountain god Niangniang actually rejected the marriage proposal of the little heavenly master of the Daomen, and admitted me as a husband in front of them.

This was so unexpected.

"Old man, what do you think of my grandson?"

"So-so, barely passable."

"What about temperament?"

"Temperament and that kind of thing? Do you have one? ”

I was speechless for the old man's answer, but the mountain god didn't dislike me, so why did I dislike myself?

Compared with that little celestial master, although he is a small person, what is a little person? The same wonderful life, the same favored by the mountain god Niangniang.

Back in the house on the embankment of the reservoir, the old man's face became gloomy: "The Heavenly Master's Mansion has come so much, but it was rejected by the mountain god Niangniang, I am afraid that there will be a backhand." ”

"We don't know yet, but we need to be more vigilant."

"By the way, stinky boy, what time is it now?"

"Not long after the New Year's Day, tomorrow is Xiaohan, and the New Year will be in half a month, why did you suddenly ask about this?" I asked, confused.

"It's almost the Chinese New Year, and it's only seven days until your twenty-fifth birthday."

The old man sighed, and looked at me with a very strange look, for I had never seen such kind, doting eyes in his eyes.

Suddenly, goosebumps all over my body rose, and I said with a disgusted face: "Old guy, what do you want to do?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly found out that you have grown up, and the past twenty-five years have really not been easy."

The old man sighed and said in a low voice: "You still need to walk your own way, grandpa is old, I'm afraid I can't accompany you to the end." You can't be too willful in the future, take good care of your daughter-in-law, take good care of your family, don't be like your grandfather, regret it for a lifetime. ”

"Okay! Old man, you are so sensational, I can't help but cry. I couldn't resist it, so I ran back to my room.

When I returned to the room, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, I wonder why the old man suddenly said such a thing, did he already have a premonition that his time was short?

I shook my head, didn't want to think about it, and lay on the bed, looking at the tablet of the mountain god Niangniang in a daze.

Within half an hour, the door opened, and the old man came in with a bowl of rice and a stack of leftover dog meat from noon and put it next to the bed, and said to me: "Xiaoyan, I have to go out tomorrow, if it goes well, you can come back the next day after your birthday." If it doesn't go well, it will take a long time to come back. ”

"Isn't it? At this time, when you go far away, what should you do about the snake and the ghost baby? Besides, my marriage with the mountain god is not over yet. ”

"You have grown up, just deal with these things by yourself, if you really don't understand, go down the mountain to find Old Lady Yan, although her temper is a little weird, but her heart is still quite kind."

"Something very important? Do you have to go? I asked the old man.

The old man nodded: "This matter is very important to me. ”

"Okay, but I'll tell you, if something big happens here, I don't care!" I got vaccinated in advance.

"Hehe, it's good if you have this heart, and do your best to obey the destiny of heaven."

The old man is gone, but my heart is not calm, I always feel that he is very strange today, and he always has some meaning of hiding to avoid the limelight when he goes out at this point in time.

I slept restlessly that night, lying on the bed, tossing and turning, tormented until about one o'clock in the morning, and when I began to feel a little sleepy, the window was suddenly slammed open by a strong wind.

And with the wind came another voice, a voice I had never dreamed of hearing.

"Tianyan, come out to see me."

At the sound of this, I jumped up from the bed at once, and then hurriedly put on my clothes and dressed myself as fast as I could.

When I pushed the door out with an axe, I saw her standing on the embankment......
