CHAPTER XXXIX
The white-clothed Taoist priest is a good person, and he knows a little about medical science, and he took care of me and got better quickly, he told me that he was a Taoist priest on Tianyu Mountain, named Xuanhuazi.
Xuanhuazi was not a natural Taoist priest, but a prince who became a monk halfway, and his original name was Zhao Li.
This devastated land is divided back and forth by people of insight, today the Li family's country, tomorrow is the Zhao family's dynasty, I can't help but sigh! There are so many princes in this troubled world! I was told to pick up any one I wanted.
I didn't ask Zhao Li which royal prince he was, nor when he would leave, but he stayed with me day and day, making a bunk on the ground at night, telling me some gonzo he had seen.
Getting along with him like this gave me a moment of delusion, and I thought it would be good to be able to live like this.
Zhao Li is a good person, and he looks okay, since he is a prince, he wants to come to the family conditions are not bad, he is so kind, if he lives with him, he will definitely not eat roast chicken and give me roast cakes.
If you feel that life is too boring, I can take him to the mountains to collect medicine, all kinds of land, and experience the people's feelings can also kill time, if you still feel bored, we can work together to have a bunch of children, and he will not be bored when he is busy teaching the children to improve.
The moment this thought flashed, I was also surprised, Zhao and I have only been together for half a month, but why do I have such an idea, I have lived alone for too long, and I will feel clear when I see a bull.
Zhao Li was lying flat at the beginning, breathing steadily, I thought he was asleep, but just now his breathing was heavy, thinking that it was cold on the ground, and he didn't sleep very well, so he asked him: "Does the immortal master need to add a bed quilt?" ”
He turned his back to me, and with a hint of amusement in his voice, he replied, "No, how can a bull be afraid of the cold!" ”
After that, I stopped talking and fell asleep, and I sighed again, sure enough, a man's heart, a needle under the sea!
In the morning, Zhao Li had already prepared a few things to eat, porridge boiled with lotus seeds and red dates, crispy pancakes with crispy salt, a small butterfly and eight garlic, and a big roast chicken with red oil and fine oil, ah! I guessed right, if he had roast chicken, he would never give it to me.
Zhao Lisheng's porridge hand stiffened, his face was inexplicably flushed, seeing that I was already sitting and waiting, he handed me the porridge in his hand and instructed: "Eat slowly, hot!" ”
In the next few days, the same life is not alarmed, I have a good body, Zhao Li offered to take me to ride and shoot, the time is in the middle of summer, along the way ten miles of green yarn to see people are refreshing, the quiet Huaishui all the way to the west slowly flowing, water birds fly overhead, singing crisp ballads, I suddenly have a childlike heart, want to play in the water.
Zhao Li picked me up and got off the horse, I removed my shoes and socks and soaked my feet in the water, the water temperature was just right, and I was slightly tired all the way.
I sat on the shore and tread the water, but I saw a big blue-eyed snake hidden in the water, spitting purple snake letters, it seemed to have been dormant for some time, and I was so shocked that I stumbled and fell into the water like an onion.
I couldn't swim, I choked on several mouthfuls of water, my hands grabbed indiscriminately, and I could hear Zhao Li's anxious and panicked voice above calling me loudly: "Zhu'er, Zhu'er!" "I was in a hurry to reach out and want to grab him, but someone really caught my hand, the palm of the hand was rough and cold, but it was not Zhao Li.
The owner of the palm did not pull me out of the water, but dragged me towards the bottom of the abyss, I struggled a few times, and a kind voice said in my ear: "Don't be afraid, the spirit snake god is on top, and I will take you out from the other direction." ”
I turned my head to see that two old turtles were swimming beside me, and they were still talking, and the strangest thing was that I could breathe in the bottomless water, so I tried to open my mouth and asked, "You were talking just now?" ”
The old turtle said: "It's the old body, the goddess has gone down to the earth, I don't recognize the old body, you and I were originally acquainted, but I don't know each other for the time being, but it doesn't matter, the old body is the old lady who came to thank you for your great kindness!" "Say, really stand upright and bow to me.
I don't know what the old turtle said, I thought that she didn't kill me in the water just now, I didn't think it was a bad turtle, I followed her to the bottom of the abyss, but I heard the "bang" sound of the water, there was a giant creature coming from the water, I didn't have time to turn my head to look, the spirit turtle on the other side first opened his mouth and shouted: "Goddess be careful!" ”
I was pushed to the bottom by the ripples, and when I looked up, I saw a red-eyed snake fighting the turtle that had saved me.
This is terrible, the water was turned upside down, and the small fish and shrimp ran in all directions to flee for their lives, and for a moment they flew past me like a chaotic arrow.
The old turtle was about to go to the aid of his companion, but when he saw that I was alone in the water and was injured in several places by the fins of those scurrying fish, and the blood flowed, he hurriedly retreated to my side and protected me with two huge front wings, and with her help, I barely saved my life.
The battle above lasted for a long time before it calmed down, and when I swam up with the old turtle, I saw that it was a lose-lose situation, the red-eyed blue snake was wrapped around the body of the spirit turtle, the spirit turtle bit the snake's seven inches, and the two spirit creatures did not move, thinking that they were about to hang up if they were not dead.
The old turtle swam over trembling and called out, "Wild! "I'm at a loss.
I dragged the spirit snake god monarch with my hand, but the bite was tight, and the big turtle was poisoned by the snake, and the original brown body became black, green, black and green, which was very scary.
I had no choice but to drag a snake and a turtle out of the water to see if I could find a way to separate them.
The catastrophe had already changed the outside world, flooding the roads and fields, and everywhere there was a vast ocean, and we had nowhere to stay but to swim towards the hills that we could see faintly.
Although I had the help of the old turtle, I gradually felt struggling, and I was worried that Zhao Li didn't know if he was killed, so he was swept away by the waves several times.
The sun in the sky was originally obscured by dark clouds, but when we were about to exhaust our strength, a slight golden light burst out, and if we looked closely, where was the sun, it was a woman wearing a fiery red feather sweater standing on the top of the hill anxiously looking for something.
As soon as the woman in red appeared, the river under her seemed to be boiling, and we were like a few dumplings that had just been put into the pot, neither floating nor sinking.
Fortunately, the woman found us at this time, and seemed to have an epiphany, "Ah! With a bang, a golden light flew towards us.
She didn't dare to get too close to the river, so she stopped far above and said, "Is the Yuqing Goddess below?" ”
I looked left and right, except for me and two turtles and a snake, there was no one else, so I said in a loud voice: "I haven't seen that goddess, there is a turtle and a snake bitten together, can the fairy help save it?" ”
She seemed to be a little afraid of water, and rolled us with a colorful glow belt and landed firmly on the hill where she had just settled.
The old turtle mother-in-law hurriedly said: "This is a small child famine, I was injured by snake venom when I fought with the Spirit Snake Divine Monarch before, if the fairy can save the child, even if I am a cow and a horse, I will definitely repay your great kindness!" Then he will bow down again.
The girl in red raised her hand and said, "Granny Turtle doesn't need to worry, I was entrusted by the goddess of Hetu to come specifically for this matter." ”
"Goddess of Hetu? Could it be that Qingying ......... her," Granny Turtle said with joy in her tone.
The woman in red nodded and said, "There are some things that I can't talk about here, but you will know in the future, and it is important to save people now." ”
Let's take out a jade bottle and pour out a pill, the medicine is inconspicuous, but the fragrance is overflowing, I feel comfortable and light when I first smell it.
The old turtle mother-in-law hurriedly took over the feeding clothes.
After a while, I saw that the green color on the turtle's body gradually faded, and his breath was gone, but the spirit snake god monarch was still tightly wrapped around it, and I picked up a stone and threw it over, and with a "long time" sound, sparks splashed, and the snakeskin was as hard as fine iron.
The woman in feather and I were dumbfounded, and the turtle mother-in-law couldn't, so I proposed: "The fairy came from the sky, I heard a person say that the gods in the sky call for wind and rain, and have the ability to do everything, you see that this snake body is so hard, can you bother to take the wilderness to the sky, and find the one who plays with a big knife and has three powerful eyes to split the heaven-protecting beast?" ”
"Three-eyed immortals? What you're talking about, but that's a wonderful way? ”
"Ahh Is it called Miaodao? It's really good in the sky, and a spirit beast is also famous. ”
The woman in the feather coat listened to me, covered her mouth and smiled: "God... I have remembered what you said, and when I go back, I will definitely tell Miaodao Zhenjun that in folklore, he is a three-eyed, fierce-looking beast, but who told the gods... Tell you? ”
I said, "It's Zhao Li!" He is a very handsome, very powerful Taoist priest, tall, does not like to laugh, and holds a very long sword, has the fairy seen him? ”
The woman in the feather coat smiled: "Listening to the girl's words, this very powerful and handsome Taoist priest must be your lover, right?" When I came, I saw a white-clothed Taoist priest heading north with a fairy sword, looking very anxious, saying something like Zhu'er waiting for me to come back, I wonder if it's the one you're looking for? ”
It's Zhao Li, it's definitely right, it's just that he didn't come to me, and he felt a little sad inexplicably.
The girl in the feather coat saw that I was depressed, and said: "Don't worry, girl, I heard that there is a war in the north, and the girl said that this son's surname is Zhao, and it should be a person from Zhao in the north. ”
I secretly said in my heart that the big thing is not good, Zhao Li is a prince, if Zhao Guo is at war, how can he stay out of it? No, I'm going to help him.
I hurriedly said goodbye to the turtle mother and the feather-clad woman, and went to find the mountain road, ready to chase Zhao Li.
After only a few steps, the woman in the feather coat chased after me and grabbed me and said, "The girl's lover is the sword and gone, how can you catch up with it like this, I have a wind talisman here, you can hold one in your hand to resist the wind." ”
After speaking, she took out a few talismans from her arms and gave them to me, I took them and thanked them, and said: "The girl helped me twice today, and I don't know how to repay me as a mortal. ”
She smiled and said, with a gesture, how dare Xiaoxian accept this, Xiaoxian Dao Lingguang Vermilion Bird Divine Monarch, if you meet in the future, just call me Vermilion Bird.
I made a note of it, waved at her again, said goodbye to Suzaku and Granny Turtle, and hurried north.
