Chapter Thirty-Eight: The White-clothed Taoist Priest
As soon as the hay lit and the fire grew bigger and bigger, I picked up the swords of the monks from the wall, brushed the ropes that trapped them twice, and said with a smug face: "Don't thank me, don't thank me, I've done good deeds and have never left a name, just give some money." ”
The Taoist priests were silent, and I said to myself, "Do you want to repay the debt?" Looking up and seeing them staring behind me, I looked back and saw the man standing behind me with a pig-killing knife and grinning teeth, I threw away the sword and shouted, "The wind is tight, I'll run for my life first." ”
I felt that my feet were empty, my body was light, and I was held in the air by a Taoist priest, and he smiled at me and said, "Girl, don't worry, I haven't thanked you for saving my life." ”
That look is gentle and elegant, there seems to be a pool of spring water in his eyes, and his heart is rippling at a glance.
I also smiled and said, "No, no, it's important to run for your life." ”
Hearing me say this, a Taoist priest snorted coldly with his mouth choked and said: "Master heard that the people in Luoxia Town are often lost and missing, and they are all captured by a family meat bun shop to make steamed buns, and sent a few of my senior brothers down the mountain to check, just now I was going to take the evidence of this guy, but I made you mess up, and you are embarrassed to ask me to repay you?" ”
Oh! I see, but I'm troubled!
The murderous man saw that the Taoist priest took me lightly and flew into the air, the tiger's eyes were full of light, and the whole body trembled, I thought he was going to make some powerful moves, but it turned out that his legs were weak and he was unsteady on his feet, and he fell to the ground with a "bang".
A few Taoist priests tied people up and took me to stand on a flying sword and head towards Luoxia Town.
A group of villagers were waiting at the entrance of the village, and when they saw a few of us passing by, they knelt down on the ground one after another, saying that they were living immortals with great compassion and great compassion to eliminate harm for the people.
I also followed the addiction of a hero, and I was in a very comfortable mood.
The Taoist priest who had just rescued me sent me back to my broken grass hut, took out a piece of gold, shook it in front of me, and secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
He said gently, "Do you like this gold?"
I don't speak, I secretly slander myself in my heart, I'm afraid this person is not very good at brains, who doesn't like gold? Doesn't he like it? If you don't like it, give it to me!
He smiled and said like a gentle drizzle, "I will give you this ingot of gold, can you wait for me here for ten days?" ”
I hesitated.
He hurriedly said: "I want to go back to Xianmen to explain some things, you just wait for me for ten days, and when I come back, I will give you another ingot of gold, okay?" As long as you don't leave the town, your home is here anyway, if you answer me, the gold is yours, and you have no loss, okay?" ”
Yes! Why is there such a good thing in the world?
I took his gold, and he touched my head and said, "Remember to be good and don't run around." ”
After he left, I went to the largest inn in town to buy a roast chicken, and when I was full, I slept contentedly on the bamboo bed in the hut, and I had never been so comfortable in the fourteen years since I was born.
Drinking water and thinking about the source, I can't help but think of the source of a good life because of that white-clothed Taoist priest, and I feel very grateful to him, a gold ingot Mo said ten days, enough for me to eat and drink for several years, this Taoist priest is not stupid?
On the second day I went to buy roast chicken as usual, and after eating it went to sleep as usual, and when I woke up and ran to the sundial in the town to see the hour, he had eight days to come back, thinking that in eight days I would get another ingot of gold, and I was so happy that I hummed a little song all the way back to the hut.
On the third day, today's roast chicken didn't taste good, I thought I was eating it every day, I was tired of eating, and I needed to change to something else to eat.
On the fourth day, looking at the bamboo sticks on the table put four, he still had six days to come back, today I changed various flavors to eat, I feel unappetizing, my heart is always inexplicably his gentle smile, disturbing me to eat well and can't sleep.
I thought to myself, maybe I can go out for a walk, but he's so far away anyway, he doesn't know if I go out, and as long as I stay here on the tenth day, he won't know that I've been out.
This thought will sit still, I carried the medicine Lou out of the town, Luoxia Town to the west has a Qixia Peak, there is a kind of amaranth grass on the mountain is a good medicine to stop bleeding, I heard my mother said that my father is going there to pick this medicine, and never came back, and then my mother also left, leaving me to grow up alone.
I put the food and water in the medicine lou, humming a little song towards Qixia Mountain, a soldier in military uniform with a pair of soldiers and horses galloped over, dusty, I didn't shake my head and sighed, "Tsk, the world is going down!" ”
This Qixia Mountain looked near, I walked for nearly half a day and did not arrive, I was really tired, I found a big tree and took a nap, I dreamed again and again, I dreamed that the white-clothed Taoist priest went and returned, holding a golden ingot of gold dangling in front of me, I opened my eyes, where is there any gold, sunset in the West Mountain, there is an arm thick cobra dangling in front of me.
I was so scared that I didn't dare to come out, I was going to die now.
The cobra shook its head, a pair of terrifying eyes shook from side to side in front of me, I raised my hand slightly, it "hissed" and immediately erected its head, I was in such a stalemate with it, it didn't move, I didn't dare to move.
I heard the sound of rustling in the grass behind me, and secretly complained in my heart, a snake can no longer cope with it, if there is another one, but how is it good, I only hope that it is the opposite sex that comes, and the one in front of me can attract each other, if they are together, I will have a chance to get out.
After a while, a white-haired animal jumped out of the grass, and it slowly approached me, and it was a rabbit.
The cobra seemed to sense a prey in front of him that was easier to grasp than me, and swam down from me and chased after the rabbit, and I had to be relieved, and I broke out in a cold sweat.
Seeing that the rabbit seemed to be wounded in its hind legs, and that it was not very good to run, the cobra was about to catch up with it, and I picked up a large rock from the ground and threw it at it, seven inches in the middle.
The big snake was pressed by the stone and I didn't know whether it was alive or dead, I ran away with the rabbit in my arms, and unconsciously ran into an open meadow, and saw some herbs on the ground that could stop the bleeding, so I picked a few pieces and chewed them in my mouth and put them on the rabbit.
The rabbit's head leaned against the crook of my arm, the red nose moved, I saw that its bleeding stopped, so I put it on the ground, it did not run, I walked step by step, as if picking up a small heel worm, we like the mountain medicine pickers often take the sky as the bed of the earth, floating in the rivers and lakes, and now it is very troublesome to follow this small thing.
She followed me for a day and a night, and when I fell asleep at night, she squatted by the fire to keep vigil for me, but she put her on her back when I was looking for medicine during the day.
After walking for two days, I arrived at Qixia Mountain, the mountain is steep, I put the rabbit at the bottom of the mountain and said to it, "You go!" This mountain is too dangerous, you follow me, in case I fall to my death, it will affect you. ”
The rabbit slapped its nose and just didn't leave, so I had no choice but to pick it up and carry it on my back and climb up the mountain.
I climbed for most of the day until I reached the halfway point of the mountain, and the mountain was empty, and there were no animals, no birds, not even a pheasant.
I'm a little discouraged, which one said that this Qixia Mountain is a miracle medicine? Now that I can't talk about medicine, I can't find a water source anymore, and I'm dying of thirst.
Sweat soaked through my clothes, my stomach growled, I took out the biscuit and ate it, tore off half of it and handed it to the rabbit, its nose moved, don't look over.
I'll persuade patiently, Brother Rabbit! There are no flowers or plants here, and there are no turnips, so you can eat some of them! Wait until you get to the top of the mountain to find an elixir for you to eat?
It hesitated for a moment, taking small bites of the biscuits.
The breeze was blowing, and I saw a red light flashing on a cliff not far from me, which was actually an old ginseng, some years, and I was afraid that it was about to become fine.
I threw away the baked cake and said to the rabbit: "Brother Rabbit, the elixir has been sent to the door, don't eat it, go quickly, and leave when it's late." ”
The rabbit seemed to understand me, pulled the pancake to the side, and jumped after me.
The process is quite smooth, I just have some skin worn out by my hands, the ginseng is afraid of hundreds of thousands of years, such an old ginseng is rare, but once I promised the rabbit, it is not good to swallow it alone, I divided the ginseng into two halves, it ate half of it, and the other half was put away by me, and my heart hurt.
All the way up the mountain, the more you reach the top of the mountain, the strange flower elixir is numerous, what thousand years of Ganoderma lucidum and thousands of years of human parameters are countless, the rabbit is already excited to find the north, in a from the elixir to the roll, gnaw a bite in the east and bite a bite in the west.
There is a place on the top of the mountain where purple qi is contained, that is the legendary hemostatic elixir, I lifted the rabbit's ear, "Don't eat it, go with me to collect medicine first." ”
I heard that all elixirs are protected by some fierce beasts and divine birds, but I don't know if it's true.
However, I didn't see any beast footprints along the way, and I don't think there was anything guarding this clump of spirit grass.
I carefully approached the amaranth grass, dug a hoe with a medicated hoe, there was no response, I pulled it by hand instead, or there was no response, I got angry, and I picked up the hoe with a hoe and dug it over, "poof", this sound, is it not to dig whose skin?
Suddenly, the mountainside moved, and the land I had just dug moved, my mother! Why didn't anyone tell me that amaranth is the horn of an animal?
The monster got up and staggered towards me, and I ran with the rabbit in my hand, stepping on a stone under my feet, and falling straight down the hill.
When I woke up, it was pitch black everywhere, and a white light dazzled my eyes in the night, I moved my hands, and saw that my hands and feet were wrapped into a zongzi, and the white light came to me, and Wen Yan asked me, "Do you dare to run around?" ”
"Ahh …… Taoist...... Oh! No, benefactor, why are you here? ”
He said, "If I don't come, will you lie on the bed and starve to death with all your limbs cut off?" ”
"Huh? It wasn't you who saved me in Qixia Mountain? ”
"What?"
"It's nothing, I said it's wrong, the benefactor's great kindness is not grateful, and he will definitely repay it in the future"
"It's nothing, I've always been a good deed who doesn't leave a name, you can just give me some money."
I "......! ”
This Taoist priest holds a grudge.
He lit the lamp and candle, and the room lit up at once, and the Taoist priest touched his sleeves, and arranged them on the table one by one, and I counted them, five, and swallowed my saliva.
He said: "If you listen to me in the future, these will be given to you, is it much better than you to collect medicine?" ”
I glanced at the gold, and pulled it into my arms with my hand wrapped in zongzi, which reflected my golden light for a while, and secretly said to myself: "I don't pick medicine trees to exchange money." ”
