621: The Heavenly Demon appears

The little yellow dog barked at him, and the child smiled weakly and said, "...... You go, I'm not leaving. ”

Suddenly the little yellow dog barked again, then turned his head to the side and whined, and the child heard the sound and saw something in the dead grass in the dirt. He struggled to crawl over, and saw a decomposing corpse in the grass, no longer recognizable, with something wrapped in a cloth under the corpse. The child opened the corner of the baggage, and he was shocked to find that there were several cold buns wrapped in the baggage. The child was pleasantly surprised, it seems that this person fled with things, and for some reason he died here without eating all the steamed buns, and these steamed buns were left under the corpse. The child looked at the steamed bun, which was more precious than anything else during this famine. He trembled and picked up a bun, looked at the corpse again, and then knelt down and kowtowed respectfully to the corpse.

The bun had become cold and hard, with the smell of decay, and he didn't care whether it was poisonous or not, but he still took a bite and swallowed it, and then the wild dogs all gathered around, and they all looked at him with their tongues stretched out with hunger, and he stopped swallowing, and he couldn't bear it, so he broke the bun and gave it to the dogs to eat. In the blink of an eye, the child fed the wild dogs a few steamed buns and fed the little yellow dog, but the little yellow dog always tried to wait for him to eat before eating.

After the child finished dividing the wild dogs, there were only a few steamed buns left in his hand, and he was just about to eat them, when he suddenly heard a weak voice from the grass: "...... Save...... Save...... Help ......"

The child was astonished, and he saw a dying old man lying in the grass on his right, with a dirty face, covered in mud, with a white beard sticking together and dirty, and wearing tattered linen clothes, which seemed to have passed out just now, and now he had just woken up.

The old man's face was gray, his lips were chapped, his arms trembled, and he stretched out his hand to the bun in the child's hand, and said weakly, "...... Hungry...... I'm so hungry...... Give me ...... food."

The wild dogs surrounded the old man and barked at him, the child told the wild dogs not to bark, he looked at the bun in his hand, looked at the dying old man, he chewed the cold bun, and then stuffed it into the old man's mouth. The old man lay on the ground and devoured it, seemingly a little angry, but delirious again. The child fed the old man a steamed bun, and when he saw that the old man's forehead was hot, that he was seriously ill, and that he had fainted, he stayed by the old man's side.

The clouds rolled, the cold wind struck, and it rained in the air. The child wanted to help the old man to shelter from the rain, but he had no strength, he looked at the old man with a high fever, he did not know how many days he had been hungry, and now he was hungry and cold, seriously ill and without medical treatment, and would die at any time. He didn't know where he got the strength, so he dragged the old man into the woods in the muddy water, and although there was still rain in the forest, the wind and rain were lighter than outside.

The child was afraid that the old man would freeze to death, so he hugged him, and the wind and rain beat them through, and his whole body was cold, and he couldn't freeze anymore, and the wild dogs came to huddle together, lying quietly on their stomachs, to keep the child and the old man warm.

The wind and rain stopped, and the old man woke up in a daze, and he said weakly, "...... I...... I'm so hungry...... I was hungry ......" the little boy fed him half a bun again, and the old man breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a daze, "...... Child, did you save me? ”

The child said, "This bun was left by someone else." ”

The old man was feverish and kept coughing: "Cough, cough, my old bones won't live long, child, it's a waste for you to give me steamed buns, alas! Maybe I won't make it to the night. He looked up at the overcast sky and sighed.

A smile appeared on the childish face of the child, and he said, "Grandpa is better now, right?" It's nice to be able to eat the old man. As long as I can save people, even if I live for a day, these steamed buns are useless even if I stay, if I eat them all and live a few more days, I will still starve to death. Grandpa, if you recover, there will be no accidents, you can take a good rest. ”

The old man looked at the child's childish and solemn gaze, he coughed violently again, and the child asked, "Grandpa, where are you from?" ”

The old man said, "I have come from the west to do business." The old man suddenly said, "Son, seeing that you are honest, I have something to ask you." He carefully took out a gray cloth from his bosom and stuffed it into the child's hand like a treasure.

The child was puzzled and asked, "Grandpa, what is this?" ”

The old man said, "Humph! This is a treasure map that the world has always dreamed of! ”

The child was puzzled and asked, "Why did you give me this treasure map?" ”

The old man coughed and said, "I am actually a treasure hunter, I have traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers in the north and south of the river to search for treasures, and it took me several years of hard work to get this treasure map about this place." This place is called Luofeng Valley, the feng shui is sinister, there must be disasters in a radius of 100 miles, it is not suitable for the people to live, but there is a treasure hidden here. He trembled and pointed to the mountains to the west: "The treasure is in the mountains to the west." ”

He coughed violently, as if he was going to cough out all his internal organs, he was short of breath, held back his cough and said: "I have been looking for treasure all my life, I have been riddled with diseases, I am now suffering from a strange poison, I will die at any time, I can only live if I go to find someone to cure the strange poison on my body." But many of my peers have been eyeing me for a long time, thinking about this treasure map. This treasure map records the treasure of a rich and rival country, with this treasure you can become a rich person in the world and even win the power of the Central Plains, if I take it with me, it will be difficult to survive if it is discovered, even if it is seen by the doctor who treats the disease, it is inevitable that I will see the intention of making money, killing me and snatching this treasure map, cough, cough ......"

The child was also very nervous when he heard this, and asked, "Grandpa, why did you give me such a precious treasure map?" ”

The old man coughed and said, "I believe in you." I'm like this now, I'm going to die of hunger at any time, and if I carry the treasure map with me, I'll be killed. If I die, this treasure map will be left to you, it will be regarded as my reward for saving my life, old man, if I can cure the poison and come back, you will return the treasure map to me. ”

The old man looked at the child and said, "Is it all right?" Would you like to wait for me here? At this moment the old man took out a few things from his bosom, and even at night they shone brightly and charmingly. The child saw that the old man had a few pieces of gold and silver jewelry in his hand! Speaking of gold in the prosperous era of antiques and troubled times, although the child does not understand this truth, he also knows that gold is valuable, and this gold is enough for him to live for a period of time! The old man looked at the child's stunned expression and said, "You know, this is just something I carry with me, and it is a drop in the bucket compared to the treasure in the treasure map, and it is far from being compared!" Child, you saved my life, I will give you this gold and silver jewelry first, enough for you to eat, drink and be merry for a few years, but now the world is chaotic, and people's hearts are wolves, do not show it easily, otherwise you will suffer a catastrophe. ”

The child said, "I don't want it, and I didn't do anything." It's yours, grandpa, you should take it with you! ”

The old man stuffed the gold and silver jewelry into the child's hand: "You keep it, this is just a small meaning, I will come back after I cure the poison, and I will naturally give you gold and silver, and make you the richest man in the world!" ”

The child nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you, I don't want gold, silver and jewelry, as long as grandpa will definitely come back." ”

The old man went down to rest again, until it was late, and the grandfather regained some strength, struggled to get up, and said with a gloomy face: "I am leaving, five days, the person who can heal the strange poison on my body is nearby, you must wait for me for five days." ”

He looked at the few buns left in the child's hand, his eyes flickered, but he didn't speak. The child still had five steamed buns left in his hand, so he took out three and handed them to the old man, saying, "Grandpa, you can take them with you on the road to eat." ”

The old man nodded, took the buns, and disappeared into the night, and the little boy hid in a sheltered hollow on the hillside, and slept with the wild dogs, and he had only two buns left, waiting for the old man to return.

Time was hard, he had waited seven days, and although he tried to find the bark of the grass roots to eat, he still ate the two remaining buns, and sat weakly on the stones.

The child looked at the golden nuggets and gems in his hand, this gold and silver jewelry was enough for him to live well in the troubled times, not to mention that the treasure map in his arms recorded a huge treasure, if he got the treasure on the treasure map, then he could stay away from this day of hunger and cold, and even make a difference.

The old man said that he would come back in five days, but seven days had passed, and the child wondered if he would be able to come back alive in the old man's illness. Will he be able to find someone to detoxify? Such an old man who was in his old age was probably dying of illness and starvation on the road, when the little yellow dog added his hand and looked at him again, and he smiled and said, "I promised others, I have to wait, where are you going?" ”

The little yellow dog seemed to understand the words of a child, and stubbornly crawled in his arms. These days, although the wild dogs do not understand the promises between people, but they never eat the buns fed by the children, but take turns to go out to find food, the wild dogs seem to understand that the children only have this food, and the little yellow dogs also eat weeds, and the hungry are even more skinny. It was cold, muddy and there was nothing to eat, but the child did not dare to leave, for he was afraid that if the old man would not come back and find him, he would wait.

The weather is getting colder day by day, the child has been hungry for three days, has not eaten anything, and is hungry and dizzy, then something suddenly falls from the tree, he struggles to walk over, the wild dogs are also around, very excited to sniff, the child saw that it turned out to be a small bird fell from the tree, this little bird is still a young bird, can not prey, this scene is even more difficult to find insects to eat, the wild dogs drool, snoring and roaring, about to eat the bird, but was stopped by the child. The child took the bird and said, "This is a life, don't kill it." ”

At this moment, there was a chirp in the air, and a large bird flew down, staring at the young bird in the child's hand, looking nervous. The child held the bird in the palm of his hand, smiled and said, "Is this your child?" Take it away. The big bird circled for a while, observing the situation below, and it actually fell down carefully, and stopped in the hands of the child, and it looked at the child, and then picked up the bird and flew away.

The little child watched the big bird fly away, and his gaze was happy, but he was ten days

The child watched the big bird fly away, his eyes were very happy, but he was really hungry for ten days, he couldn't stand it, he staggered, and passed out in front of him, he didn't know how long he had fainted, and suddenly heard a dog barking, and he opened his eyes and saw the old man in front of him.

The old man said, "Son, have you been waiting for me?" The child nodded weakly, tremblingly took out the treasure map from his bosom, and said, "Grandpa, give it back to you." He smelled a strange smell, and it turned out that the old man had brought some steamed buns and bacon. The child ate something like a wolf, and when he had spirit, he did not forget to share it with the wild dogs.

The old man nodded and said, "Child, thank you for keeping the treasure map for me, and when I find the treasure, I will definitely not treat you badly." He then said, "Son, follow me in search of the treasure, how about it?" ”

The child said, "It doesn't matter if you find the treasure or not, I'll go with you wherever you go." ”

The old man nodded and said, "Okay." He looked at the wild dogs around him and said, "But there is one more point, there will be an ambush in the treasure place, killing people, we need these dogs to explore the way, crack the mechanism, in order to get the treasure." I see that these dogs listen to you very much, so why don't you take them and go on a treasure hunt with us and explore the mechanism? ”

The child looked at the wild dogs who were staring at him with their ears and said in embarrassment, "Will something happen to them?" ”

The old man nodded and said, "That's nature, the mechanism is very powerful, it's just a bunch of dogs, just let them die, then we can get countless gold, silver and jewelry!" ”

The child looked at the group of dogs, suddenly shook his head and said, "No." ”

The old man said, "Silly boy, did you give up the treasures of the rich country for the sake of a few wild dogs?" Besides, there is no food in the mountains, so we can satisfy our hunger with dog meat, and the taste of dog meat is so good! ”

The child took a step back and said nervously, "Although they and I meet each other, they are all my friends, and I can't exchange them for gold, silver, and jewelry." ”

The old man said, "Hmph, don't you even want treasures for the sake of these miscellaneous beasts?!" How many days can you live without gold and silver? You're going to starve to death with these beasts?! The wild dogs listened with their ears open, and whined at the little ones, as if they were willing to listen to him, and the little ones said firmly, "I will not harm them." ”

The old man said, "Hmph, then I won't take you there, you can think about it, give up the treasure for a few wild dogs, and you won't get the great treasure at that time." The little boy held the little yellow dog and said, "Grandpa, you go alone, be careful." The old man turned and staggered and disappeared into the woods.

When the child saw that the old man was gone, he rested for a while, and now that he was alone and helpless, he decided to go on. The child walked all the way, and along the way he met some disaster victims, he walked aimlessly with the little yellow dog in his arms, but fortunately he did not encounter the crazy and hungry cannibal victims in broad daylight. He walked for a few days, getting some food along the way, and the more pedestrians he encountered, he came to a large town that was still quite lively.

The town is huge, once thriving, and is still inhabited, with villagers coming in and out every day. The wild dogs were afraid of people and did not dare to enter the town, so they all wandered into the mountains. In a blink of an eye, more than half a year later, the child found a small cave in the mountains outside to have a home, and he and the little yellow dog relied on picking up food around the town, or picking up some firewood to sell for money, although the people in the town were living okay, but they did not let the victims stay in the town.

The child only tried to get something to eat every day, and he did not use the gold and silver jewels that the old man had given him, and although he was young, he knew that if the gold and silver were exposed in this world, it would probably invite trouble. Whenever the children worked hard to get half a white bread or rotten melons and fruits, they would eat it in half with the little yellow dog, and they were happy.

At this time, it was summer, the vegetation was luxuriant, the weather was hot, although there was no bitterness of the cold in the middle of winter, but the summer was extremely hot, the epidemic was rampant, the child was young and weak, too tired, although he did not starve to death, but he still suddenly got a fever, more and more serious, he began to be able to walk, and then he was sick and lay in the cave and could not move, and could only barely drink the water of the stream at the entrance of the cave, and it was difficult to go out to find food. The little yellow dog went out alone at this time, and every time it was thin, it would bring back a little food, sometimes vegetable leaves, sometimes discarded melons and fruits, and sometimes even raw meat. The little yellow dog goes out with the child to look for food, it learns the ability to find food, knows the location, no matter how much food it finds, and always brings it back to the child on time every day.

But the child noticed that the little yellow dog gradually had more scars on his body, and the child felt bad, and whenever he asked the little yellow dog, the little yellow dog just barked at him, as if to tell him not to worry. The child was sick and hot, dizzy, and burning, and he wanted to go out to find food to eat, but he could not move, and if it were not for the little yellow dog to find food for him every day, he would have starved to death.

On this day, the little yellow dog has not yet dawned and gone out to eat, but when it comes to the time has not returned, the child is very worried, in the blink of an eye to noon, the figure of the little yellow dog still did not appear at the entrance of the hole, to the future, the little yellow dog has not returned, usually will never be like this, the child has a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart, although he is seriously ill and weak, he still gives birth to a strength, struggling to climb out of the hole.

The weather outside the cave was hot, the heat wave was blowing in his face, the child staggered and almost fainted, he endured a high fever and climbed down the mountain, he called the little yellow dog on the hillside, although he shouted with all his might, but there was no response. The child found a branch as a crutch, into the town, he staggered to the vegetable market, he usually takes the little yellow dog to the vegetable market to pick up food, he arrived at the entrance of the market, asked the old woman who bought vegetables: "Mother-in-law, do you see a little yellow dog?" ”

The old woman at the entrance of the vegetable market said, "What dog? The old woman recognized the little boy who often came to collect food, and said, "It is the yellow dog you have brought with you, and it has come today." ”

The child was nervous, he was very worried that the little yellow dog would be caught and killed, and asked, "Where is it?!" ”

A thin young man on the side said, "You raised that little yellow dog?" You kid can get into trouble, the puppy usually comes to secretly eat things, makes people angry, and is always kicked and beaten, today it steals a lot of things, and dares to steal the meat bought by the Rong housekeeper of the rich man's family, which annoys many people, and many people are about to kill it! ”

Another man sat down on a flat pole and said, "Humph! The yellow dog is really greedy, stealing a lot of food every day, but still stealing, it is really strange that it eats so much and is still skinny. ”

The child's heart was surging when he heard this, tears welled up in his eyes, and he hurriedly said, "It's for me to eat!" I was sick and couldn't move, it came out to find something to eat for me, don't blame it! The Venerable Master said, "Well, in that case, this yellow dog is also loyal." ”

The child had only one thought in his heart, as long as the little yellow dog was fine, even if he would never come here again to find food in the future, leave the town, and let him do anything. The child was very anxious, he left the branches and rushed into the vegetable market, and he saw that the vegetable market was very noisy and chaotic, people were shouting and neighing, chickens and dogs were jumping, as if they were fighting, and a large crowd of people waved wooden sticks and benches, and shouted: "Over there! "Little brute!" "Over there!" "Don't let that beast run away!" "It's coming!" "Stop him!" "Kill it!" "Kombat!" A large group of people came running from the other end, as if they were chasing, making a miasma.

The child saw the little yellow dog jumping in the vegetable market, it was holding a piece of meat, its body was bloody, it had been injured, and it was desperately fleeing under the round-up of everyone. The surrounding traffickers also applauded: "This wild dog is here!" Fast! "Don't let it run!" "Haha! Blocked! Shoot it! At this moment, a short man with a greasy face and a silk satin came out behind them, followed by a few family members, and he sneered: "Catch this little beast for me, and I will slaughter it myself!" Whoever catches this beast, my lord, I will be rewarded! ”

When the vendors in the vegetable market heard this, their eyes were red, and they crawled and pounced on the little yellow dog, making people turn on their backs, smoke and dirt flying, some collided with each other, screaming again and again, the little yellow dog ran in the crowd in a panic, and the children trembled and shouted: "Little yellow! ”

When the little yellow dog heard his cry, he raised his head violently, looked at him with twinkling eyes, and ran to him with all his might, and the child also ran desperately to the little yellow dog. The little yellow dog didn't care about dodging, and at this time a vendor's bench flew over and smashed on the hind legs of the little yellow dog, and the little yellow dog was beaten, and countless people immediately pounced on it around him, all to catch the little yellow.

The child cried: "Stop! Stop it! Don't hit the yellows! Please! The little yellow dog suddenly came out of the human leg with blood, and rushed to the child, when suddenly a vendor smashed the little yellow dog on the back with a wooden stick, and the little yellow dog opened its mouth, and the meat fell out, and it finally let out a wail, and coughed up blood in its mouth. It struggled to pick up the meat again and threw itself into the child's arms. The child hugged the little yellow dog tightly, with tears in his eyes, and the little yellow dog was desperately looking for food for him to eat! The little yellow dog put down the piece of meat, its eyes were moist, its whole body trembled, and it stretched out its tongue to lick the child's little hands.

At this time, several vicious dogs also caught up, and they barked wildly at the children in a circle, these dogs were all the yard dogs raised by the rich and wealthy lords of the town, huge and strong, with a mouth full of fangs, each of which could tear the child apart, but they did not dare to pounce. The little yellow dog turned his head to stare at them, and let out a low roar in his throat, and the vicious dogs panicked, made frightened sounds, and kept retreating.

"Fuck! It's all useless! The master eats you big fish and meat every day, why are you afraid of this little yellow dog! I'll skin you when I go back!" The housekeeper opened the vicious dog with a wooden stick, staggered away, glanced at the child, and said, "Where did the little one come from, called Hanako,

"Fuck! It's all useless! The master eats you big fish and meat every day, why are you afraid of this little yellow dog! I'll skin you when I go back!" Narong Butler opened the vicious dog with a wooden stick, staggered over, glanced at the child, and said, "Where did the little Hanako come from, how fucking tired?!" ”

At this time, a family member shouted to the child: "Little rabbit cub, you raised this dog?" Hand over the dog! "You little name Hanako! Do you know who Rong Ye is?! You dare to steal Rong Ye's meat! "Hand over the dogs!" Otherwise, you will be killed! ”

The child hugged the little yellow dog tightly and cried: "Uncles, please spare the little yellow!" It has nothing to do with it, it's not trying to steal food, I'm sick and can't act, it's there for me to eat! Please, don't hurt it, hit me if you want to! The little yellow dog showed its head and bared its teeth and let out a low roar at Steward Rong and the others.

"You're powerless to act? I don't think you little bastard is alive too! The family said angrily: "Boy, you dare to steal the things of our rich man's family!" Chop your claws today! When they saw that the child was pale and sickly, he was indeed very sick, and seemed to be dying at any time, and they did not want to touch him. The vendors also shouted, "Little Hanako, hand over that wild dog!" "It keeps stealing things, it must be killed!" "Little Hanako instigated this little animal to steal?! Damn it! "! I'm so tired of calling Hanako! "Stinky boy, hand over that dog!" You kid wait first, and I'll clean you up later! "The people in the market were in high spirits and filled with righteous indignation, brandishing wooden sticks and benches, as if they were about to tear children and little yellow dogs to pieces.

The child was surrounded by people, his whole body trembled with fright, he hugged the little yellow dog tightly, he knew that if the little yellow dog was taken away, he would be beaten to death by these people, knelt down and begged: "Xiao Huang and I usually only pick up some leftovers and rotten melons and fruits, and have never stolen anything, why do you have to kill it?" He saw that the Rong family bought a lot of meat, and Xiao Huang was only holding a little meat crumbs, which was not much in comparison. He had no choice but to kowtow and beg: "Uncles, spare us, when I get better, I will definitely pick up firewood and compensate Master Rong, and compensate you uncles!" ”

One of the vendors said, "you! Nonsense! In this world, meat is as expensive as gold, can you afford to sell those firewood? How much firewood do you have to sell?! The fat man on the side said, "You little Hanako often sneak up on something, do you think I don't know?!" You dog usually steals a lot of things! Another dealer said, "Hmph! Today, it is difficult for Steward Rong to come out to buy vegetables, and if your vicious dog dares to disturb his old man's good mood and steal the good meat that his old man bought, you should die! ”

The child kowtowed to Steward Rong and said: "God has the virtue of a good life, please spare Xiao Huang, Master Rong, I promise you, I will make you a cow and a horse to compensate for my illness!" I'll do whatever I want! ”

The Rong family scolded: "you M, what can you do as a sick little rabbit cub!" Can you afford to pay for the butler's piece of meat?! ”

Steward Rong squeezed out his teeth and said, "Come on, call me!" Even a flower who asks for food dares to point fingers at my Rong family, it's too unruly! Beat me to death! The old woman watched from the sidelines, and tears could not help but flow from the faint old eyes.

Suddenly, a vendor raised a kick on the child's back, the child's eyes were full of gold stars, the pain was unbearable, he couldn't breathe, and someone kicked him in the face, the child couldn't resist, fell to the ground, his nose and mouth were salty, and the blood flowed, he stretched out his arms and protected the little yellow dog under him, the little yellow dog drilled out his head, stared at everyone and yelled. The old woman rushed over and stopped the crowd and said, "Stop! He's still a kid! O iniquity! The old woman usually always got some food for the children, she was lonely, and she had already regarded the poor children as her own grandson, and she couldn't stand it anymore, so she desperately saved the children.

The Rong family glared and scolded angrily: "Get out!" The old immortal dares to stand in the way! Don't get out of the way, it's tired and crooked! Look for death! One man came up and slapped the old woman down, and another person smashed the old woman on the head with a wooden stick, and the old woman suddenly fell to the side with blood all over her face, but she trembled and made no sound.

Seeing this, the child was anxious and angry, and shouted, "I will pay you now!" Stop it! Everyone was stunned by the child's momentum, and looking at him, he took out the gold, silver and jewelry from his bosom, and the charming brilliance immediately fascinated everyone's eyes. A vendor said nervously: "Yo, Xiao Huazi, where did you get so much gold, you want to deceive Lao Tzu!" He pinched a piece of gold with his fingers, shook it, and glared at it and exclaimed, "What gold!" ”

People in the vegetable market were surprised, but they didn't expect the child to bring such valuable gold and silver jewelry, and the child hugged the little yellow dog and said, "Let my mother-in-law and us go, these gold and silver jewelry are real, enough to compensate." ”

A family member took the gold, silver and jewelry, glared at him, and said, "A piece of meat from Steward Rong is very expensive...... These gold and silver jewels are barely worth it, you little Hanako really exchange these gold and silver jewels for this puppy? ”

The child nodded and said, "That's all I have, and I'll give it all to you!" Don't beat your mother-in-law and Xiao Huang again! At this time, the family had already handed over the gold, silver and jewelry to Steward Rong. Steward Rong weighed the gold and silver jewelry, and his face showed a look of surprise and greed, and everyone was waiting for his words. Steward Rong suddenly said, "Damn, my Rong family recently lost a sum of gold and silver, and it turned out that it was all stolen by your little Hanako!" Grab me! Beat! ”

The child was shocked, and he said, "I didn't steal this gold, you liar!" You framed me! I didn't steal anything from you! You lie! ”

Steward Rong winked and said, "Hmph! Catch this thief and beat that mongrel to death first!" Everyone rushed up and grabbed the child, who was already seriously ill and could not break free from the adults, and he raised his legs and kicked wildly without strength, and as soon as he let go, the little yellow dog fell. The little yellow dog was kicked by everyone, it was trampled under the feet of a person, and it could only turn its head and bark and bite weakly, and the wooden sticks were whipped on it, crackling. The child burst into tears, struggling on all fours and shouting, "Little Huang! Yellow! I'm fighting with you! He opened his mouth and bit the arm on his neck, and the man threw him to the ground in pain, and the child cried and crawled to the little yellow dog, and watched the little yellow dog be beaten with skin and flesh, and blood spurted from his nose and mouth, and let out a scream.

The little yellow dog was powerless to struggle any longer, and it looked at the child, tears and blood welling up in its eyes, and only let out a faint whimper at him. Steward Rong walked to the side of the little yellow dog, kicked the little yellow dog, raised the wooden stick and was about to hit it, hehe smiled: "Little beast, see if I don't kill you!" The child went crazy and yelled, "Stop! You are not allowed to hit Xiao Huang! He swept through the crowd and rushed over, but he was alone and clung to him.

At this time, there was a sudden scream, Steward Rong covered his left eye and howled, staggered back, and the blood gushed between the fingers of Steward Rong was like a spring, and he was blinded by a bird in his left eye. The bird was as fast as lightning, and it flew into the sky with a long song, and a large bird hovered high in the sky. The child recognized the bird as the young bird he had rescued in the woods half a year ago, and now it had grown so much that there were many birds in the air, like clouds in all directions, circling and falling. At this time, many of the yard dogs and other dogs in the vegetable market seemed to go crazy, pounced on the vendors, and surrounded the little yellow dogs, like a monarch guarding them.

Steward Rong covered his eyes and shouted frantically: "Kill!" Kill them all! Kill! Then I heard: "Stop! A strong momentum surged like a river, and people were shocked and stood still. Everyone saw an old man in white appearing at the entrance of the vegetable market, the old man had white hair, wore sackcloth, and carried a burden. The child saw that the old man was the old man he had rescued with a steamed bun half a year ago and wanted to take him on a treasure hunt.

The family members were stunned for a moment, and suddenly the wrists of those who had taken the gold, silver and jewelry turned black, and their whole bodies trembled, as if they were in pain. The child seemed to see a loved one and shouted, "Grandpa! ”

The old man looked at everyone, his eyes were deep, and he said: "That gold and silver are highly poisonous and contagious, you vulgar philistines who bully the weak and are afraid of hard money and kill people are not as good as pigs and dogs, and you will not be able to escape death today." ”

Steward Rong originally wanted to order someone to kill the children, birds, cats and dogs, but his hand holding the gold nugget suddenly became numb, and then there were ten thousand needles piercing the bones, and the pain was incomparable, and he knelt down on his knees and howled: "Old ...... Old Immortal, Rao ...... Spare your life......"

Everyone didn't dare to move, and the skin of the housekeeper who was chasing and beating the little yellow dog excitedly just now turned black, unable to move, and screamed in pain. The old man said to the child, "Child, is this little yellow good to you?" ”

The child cried bitterly: "It treats me like a relative." ”

The old man said, "The little yellow dog gave his life to save you." ”

The child nodded, he hugged the little yellow dog tightly in his arms, bowed his head and cried, the little yellow dog's body was like a broken string, stiff and cold, and there was no reaction.

The old man said: "In such a troubled world, you still don't know how to help each other and fight against difficulties together, these people are just trying to please the rich, trying to kill their lives, relying on the strong to bully the weak, killing the little yellow dog, and killing you, do you hate them?" ”

The child's eyes were red and he cried: "Hate! I hate them! ”

The old man said: "Okay, this time they are trying to kill their lives, and the retribution is not happy, I will let them die of poison, the whole body festers and dies, and there is no corpse, so that you can be angry!" ”

The child watched as the people wailed in pain, his eyes full of anger and the pleasure of revenge on his face. He looked at it for a while, but suddenly said, "Grandpa, please let them go!" ”

The old man said: "They want to harm you for no reason, don't you hate them?!" ”

The child put his arm around Xiao Huang and said, "I hate them, but they are also miserable, even if they want their lives, they can't save Xiao Huang." He couldn't bear it, and said, "What's more, they don't sin to death, their lives are already very painful, and their lives are precious, I can't take away their precious lives, grandpa, let them go." ”

The old man pointed to the two black and thin dealers, it turned out that the child met the two victims who wanted to eat him, and these two people were also mixed in the town for half a year, and he said: "These two people once wanted to eat you, but you let the wild dogs let them go, and you spared them from dying, but they will take revenge on you again this time, will they also let go?" ”

The two villagers kept rolling on the ground in pain, snot and tears, howling in pain, and the child looked at him kindly and said, "Maybe they are not to blame for eating people, they are all living beings, and they are forced to live for themselves." His eyes became solemn again: "In troubled times and disaster years, the people are not able to make a living, these things may not be the fault of people, but the fault of God." ”

The old man raised his eyebrows and asked, "Child, if these people die, I can let the little yellow dog live, are you willing?" ”

When the child heard this, he was surprised and delighted, suspicious and difficult, and asked, "Really?!" ”

The old man nodded.

The child looked at the cold little yellow dog in his arms, very hesitant, his eyes were sad, he suddenly cried bitterly, and finally shook his head. The people present looked at the children, and although they were in pain, their eyes were full of gratitude. Steward Rong looked at the child, and there was a look of disbelief in his other eyes, and he was extremely surrendered.

The old man looked at the child silently, nodded, he reached out and took out an extra paper bag, which was full of powder, and drifted in the vegetable market with the wind, everyone immediately knelt on the ground like thawing, and the pain on his body was immediately alleviated, and he kept crying: "Thank you old fairy!" Thank you, old fairy! And they bowed down to the little ones.

The child lowered his head, and a hot tear dropped in the eye socket of the little yellow dog, and the little yellow dog suddenly shed a tear, and it struggled to open its eyes, gasping weakly, and making a whimper. When the child saw that the little yellow dog was relieved, he was extremely surprised and hugged the little yellow dog tightly. The old man treated the old woman, and the old woman woke up, and the old man dealt with the little yellow dog's injury.

When the child saw that the old man was practicing medicine like a god, he said, "Grandpa, do you know how to heal?" ”

The old man smiled at him: "Yes, child, what is your name?" ”

The child hugged the little yellow dog and replied: "My surname is Xuanyuan, and my name is Xuanyuan Tianji." ”

The old man said: "Everyone in the world is suffering, are you willing to follow your grandfather all over the country to treat the sick and suffering?" ”

The child nodded, the old man smiled, stroked the child's forehead, and the old man walked out of the vegetable market with the little yellow dog.

Twenty years later.

Grandpa and Xuanyuan Tianji carried their burdens to a deep mountain in the north

At this time, it was the middle of winter, the heaven and the earth were silver-white, and the snow was falling all over the sky, Xuanyuan Tianji had grown from a child to an elegant young man in the wind of Yushu, although he was not wearing thick, but he and his grandfather had a warm current, such as the cold wind and snow of the blade could not infringe on his and his grandfather's body.

The old man and Xuanyuan Tianji climbed up the mountain with white air and stepped on the deep snow, and along the way, they could also see some mountain people going up and down the mountain road, the mountain people were simple, and some greeted them politely, and they also responded politely. They found out that there was a relatively large town on this big mountain, and there were often merchants, hunters, and pickers from inside and outside the country, and no one moved around after the heavy snow closed the mountain.

As far as the eye can see, the mountains and forests are covered in silver, and the snowflakes are fluttering, which is beautiful, like a beautiful picture. In the distance, there are mountain people with children playing in the snow, harmonious and happy, this Changbai Mountain is far away from the Central Plains, and has not been stained with the Central Plains for many years of famine and war smoke, and the residents live happily and richly.

The old man and Xuanyuan Tianji slowly walked up the mountain, Xuanyuan Tianji looked at the mountain where the feng shui and the mountain people lived peacefully, the momentum was steady, but his eyes showed an extremely worried and grim look, more nervous than ever.

The old man looked at the cloudy sky with a solemn expression, the sky and the earth were silver-white, and the snowflakes were falling, and he couldn't see anything unusual, but his eyes were deep and his expression was even deeper.

The two continued to climb the mountain, shuttling in the tall forest sea, at this time a yellow dog jumped out from behind, surrounding Xuanyuan Tianji and the old man to have fun, the little yellow dog also grew into a handsome big dog, running forward and backward with a white breath very powerful, sniffing this, sniffing that. Xuanyuan Tianji touched the yellow dog's forehead, showed a smile, and said, "Xiao Huang, have you found anything?" ”

Xiao Huang shook his head and whimpered in a low voice, as if answering Xuanyuan Tianji, and circled around his grandfather and Xuanyuan Tianji a few times, it jumped forward in the heavy snow, its figure was like electricity, and soon there was no shadow, and it ran to the front to explore the way. Grandpa and Xuanyuan Tianji walked for another hour, and occasionally met several teams of mages on the road, both Taoist and monks, the mages seemed to be looking for something, and kept talking, but looking at their expressions were quite relaxed, as if they had survived a catastrophe.

Occasionally, a monk would ask him where he was from and what he was doing here, and the grandfather replied that it was a wandering doctor, and the grandfather asked why the monks gathered here, and the monks looked unfathomable, but they were unwilling to reveal something to the grandfather. Grandpa and Xuanyuan Tianji reached the halfway point of the mountain, it was a flat and soothing mountain shoulder, and there was a quite prosperous town in the reckless forest sea, where many mountain people lived outside the Guanwai.

The mountain people are wearing leather jackets and fur hats, very warmly entertaining grandpa and Xuanyuan Tianji, it is about to be the New Year, every household is full of joy, the lights are colorful, and the town is full of joy. Grandpa and Xuanyuan Tianji called themselves traveling doctors, and they treated some of the sick residents in the town, and they were even more popular with the mountain people. There are hunters, merchants, ginseng pickers, etc., and there are many mages gathered in the town, and it is very lively.

It is rare for so many mages to come to this Changbai Mountain, the people in the town do not know what the reason is, most of the mountain people are Manchurians, most of the Manchus believe in shamanism, and there are also Han people, but for the sake of good luck, the mountain people ask the mages to practice exorcism and pray for blessings. The most powerful sect is the Quanzhen Sect of the Taoist priests, as well as Wudang, Zhengyi and other monks and Taoist sects, the elder of the town Nalan asked the Quanzhen Sect's Yuningzi Immortal Master, why the Central Plains Buddhist and Taoist monks have come to this remote area, Yuningzi said: "It's nothing, Ruixue Zhaofeng Year, there is a peaceful place here, there will be no disasters, the villagers will be happy to celebrate the New Year!" The people of the town were extremely happy, and every family served wine and meat to entertain the mages.

Grandpa found an opportunity and said to Yu Ningzi, "Immortal Chief, may I ask you, are you looking for the Heavenly Demon of the World?" ”

Yu Ningzi was stunned for a moment and said, "How do you know about the Heavenly Demon of the World?" ”

Grandpa said: "I brought my grandson all the way from the Central Plains, and I heard many mages on the road talking about the destruction of the heavenly demons, saying that the heavenly demons are about to appear, and the decent alliance is looking for the heavenly demons together." ”

Yu Ningzi and the representatives of several other sects smiled and said: "Old man, I see that your ancestors and grandchildren are not ordinary, to tell you the truth, after Pangu opened the heavens and split the earth, the world-destroying heavenly demon was formed by the evil qi between heaven and earth, and it will appear every few thousand years. But that day the demon did not appear at all. The three mountains and five mountains and the great rivers in the north and south of the great river have sent disciples to search for several places at the same time, from the Mongolian Tangnu Wuliang Sea in the north, to the South China Sea in the south, to the Green Mountains in the west, and to the Xing'an Mountains in the east. Our Quanzhen Sect and Zhengyi Wudang faction are responsible for searching here, and my team has been looking for several months, and there is no problem. In this way, the Heavenly Demon is an imaginary number, and it will be thousands of years later, hehe. ”

Another Wudang real person wearing a yellow robe said: "The appearance of the demon in that day is just a false alarm, and the world does not need to worry about the sky. Sir, you and your grandson don't have to be afraid. Of course, you don't have to go around spreading rumors about the birth of a heavenly demon when you walk the rivers and lakes, it's alarmist, hahaha! The Wudang Daoist raised his head and drank a glass of wine, and the other mages also laughed happily.

Grandpa nodded and said no more. The monks have been searching for several months, and the next day they will return to the Central Plains, where the mountain people will hold a feast to entertain everyone, and the town will light a bonfire, sing and dance, and be lively and happy. The wind and snow stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, and a bright moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the snow-capped mountains brightly, beautiful and charming. Grandpa took Xuanyuan Tianji up the mountain overnight, and an old hunter said: "Old man, it has been snowing for days recently, and the mountain is high and the road is dangerous, and now even the best hunter of our tribe will not enter the mountain at night, so as not to get lost." Besides, we are the last village on the mountain, and further up there are cold wilderness, not even a place to spend the night, only inaccessible mountains, what are you doing in a hurry to go up the mountain? ”

Grandpa said, "Thank you for your kindness, let's just go up the mountain to have a look, and we will take care." Grandpa and Xuanyuan Tianji climbed up the mountain, although the snow stopped, but the night wind was still there, the snowflakes on the trees were falling, overlooking the mountains, the mountains were snow-white and quiet in the cold night, Xuanyuan Tianji looked solemn, and asked: "Grandpa, will the heavenly demon really appear here?" ”

Grandpa nodded and said, "This is the place where the Heavenly Demon will appear in this cold land." ”

Xuanyuan Tianji asked: "Grandpa, we have been looking for this, but we have not found any traces." The Dao Masters of the various sects have also searched for it, but they have found no trace of the Heavenly Demon, can't they predict the time and location of the Heavenly Demon's appearance? ”

Grandpa replied: "The Heavenly Demon of Destruction is not a substance that belongs to this world, it is formless and immortal, and the mages in this world can only divinate the celestial phenomena and hexagrams in the world, they cannot find the Heavenly Demon, and I can only rely on induction to judge the location of its appearance." ”

Xuanyuan Tianji said, "Grandpa, since we know that the Heavenly Demon is here, should we ask the Righteous Alliance for help?" ”

Grandpa shook his head and said: "Heaven and earth are formed, pure qi ascends to heaven, turbidity sinks, good and evil coexist, like yin and yang complement each other, and an evil qi wandering between heaven and earth forms a heavenly demon, and the heavenly demon has only one idea, which is to destroy everything around him." The power possessed by the Heavenly Demons is beyond the resistance of the mages in the human world, and the more people who encounter the Heavenly Demons, the more innocent and tragic deaths will occur, and the casualties will only increase. ”

Xuanyuan Tianji seemed unwilling and asked, "Grandpa, there is no way to destroy the Heavenly Demon?" ”

Grandpa said: "The heavenly demon is formed by the evil qi between heaven and earth, and good and evil are themselves the composition of heaven and earth, which cannot be eliminated, they are indispensable, and they can only seal the heavenly demon for a period of time, and when it breaks out of the cocoon, it will ravage the world again." ”

Xuanyuan Tianji looked at his grandfather, he looked worried, he and his grandfather have traveled south and north for 20 years, encountered countless difficult situations and enemies, suffered countless hardships, and saved countless people, but grandpa has always had the confidence and strength to solve the problem, and it has never been so severe. If you can't stop the destruction of the Heavenly Demons, then the entire human world will be completely destroyed.

The two went up the mountain and saw a small stone temple in the shape of a tower, with red lights emitting from the window, which was a place for the mountain people to worship the gods and pray for blessings and diseases. The two entered the temple, and the temple was still lit with candles, warm and bright. In the temple there is a tall clay statue, the appearance is hideous, like a giant bear, the wall is painted with colorful paintings, it is many gods in shamanism, the sun, moon, stars, fire, water, thunder and lightning. There were only two of them in the stone temple, and it was very quiet.

Grandpa pinched his hand and recited the incantation silently, the white light flashed slightly, and suddenly an old man in a white robe appeared in the temple. Grandpa Shi Li said: "Hello, you are the mountain god here. ”

The white-robed old man respectfully saluted his grandfather and Xuanyuan Tianji, and said, "It's Xiaoxian." Sir, what did you call me for? ”

Grandpa said, "The Heavenly Demon of the World Destroyer is about to appear here. ”

When the mountain god heard this, his expression changed greatly, and he was quite surprised, and said, "Are you sure the old gentleman is here?!" ”

Grandpa nodded, and the mountain god bowed his head and said, "How is this good?" With the meager mana of the little fairy, he can't resist the evil and evil power of heaven and earth, old man, the catastrophe is coming, can you find other helpers? ”

Grandpa stared at the mountain god, and the mountain god sighed: "That's it, the calamities in this world are all determined by the immortals of the heavens, and I am the earth immortals, and I can't act without authorization, interfering with the will of the heavens." It's just that if the demons appear in the world, the creatures in the world will inevitably be destroyed, and the people will be wiped out, which is unbearable! Alas! ”

Grandpa said: "The mountain god loves the people, the little old man admires, this heavenly demon I will fight with my grandson to stop it, I just hope that the mountain god will help do one thing." ”

The mountain god looked at Grandpa and Xuanyuan Tianji, and said, "The old gentleman is unfathomable, maybe there is a way to stop the heavenly demons, I don't know what the old gentleman commands?" If the fairy can help, he will do his best! ”

Grandpa said: "I judge that the Heavenly Demon will appear soon, but there are still residents here, if I let them move out immediately, they may not listen to me, please find a way to let the people in the town go down the mountain as soon as possible, and do not stay here anymore, so as not to be wiped out." ”

The mountain god said, "Little fairy do his best!" ”

Grandpa and Xuanyuan Tianji got out of the stone temple and continued to climb up the mountain, and then there was no mountain road, all the wild mountains, and the snow was knee-high, which was very difficult to walk. The night was extremely cold, the wind was blowing, Xiao Huang suddenly let out a low roar, and Xuanyuan Tianji said: "Grandpa, there is movement!" Grandpa and Xuanyuan Tianji both stopped behind the tree, and after a while, there was a creaking sound of snow stepping on the back. Xiao Huang has an extremely strong sense of sensitivity, and he heard a strange sound in the middle of the night from a long distance.

Grandpa and Xuanyuan Tianji saw a burly old man catch up from the bottom of the mountain, although the old man was very old, he had a thick black beard and dark red skin, like a hunter. He wore a leather jacket and a fur hat, a leather whip in his hand, a scarlet drum and a scimitar at his waist, a bow and arrows and a baggage, and a bone chain around his neck.

The old wizard stared at the grandfather and the two warily, and Xuanyuan Tianji said, "Old man, did you follow us?" ”

The old wizard said in stiff Chinese: "It's cold and the night is deep, and there is no one in the snowy mountains, what are you two sneaking around?" Further into the mountains, there is no village, but a place where the gods live, what are you two Han people going to do?! ”

Xuanyuan Tianji said: "Old man, don't misunderstand, we have important things to do, and it is inconvenient to tell you." ”

The old wizard said, "Hmph, you two are sneaky, you must not do good deeds!" He clenched the leather whip, as if he wanted Grandpa Yu and Xuanyuan Tianji to do it.

Grandpa said: "This mage, recently the Central Plains came to look for the Heavenly Demon, you know. ”

The old wizard was stunned when he heard this, nodded and said: "Yes, you Han mages said that there is a devil who destroys the world and may appear, but they also said that the devil will not appear, and there will be peace here, and then they will all withdraw, but I sense that there will be a huge disaster in the town!" The old wizard found that Grandpa and Xuanyuan Tianji had gone up the mountain, so he followed the footprints and caught up.

Grandpa said, "The Heavenly Demon will appear soon!" ”

The old wizard was stunned and said, "What?!" The devil will come, and I will stop the catastrophe from happening. ”

Grandpa said, "Old man, you are no match for it, don't sacrifice fearlessly." You are the shaman of the tribe, and the tribesmen will listen to your advice, so tell the tribesmen to get down the mountain immediately and stay away from here! ”

The old wizard said, "Hmph, what kind of devil is it, am I afraid that it will not work?!" ”

Grandpa said: "The situation is urgent, you let the tribesmen evacuate first, and the mountain gods will cooperate with you in this matter." But don't let others know that the Heavenly Demon has descended. ”

The old wizard looked at Grandpa and Xuanyuan Tianji, and then at Xiao Huang, his eyes were full of doubt, and said, "Can you fight that devil?" ”

Grandpa said, "We'll figure it out." The old wizard stomped his foot, and with a sigh turned and went down the mountain. Grandpa looked at the back of the old wizard with solemn eyes, he and Xuanyuan Tianji continued to go up the mountain, and the next morning, they looked high on the top of the mountain, the sky was clear, the blue sky was clear, the air was fresh, and from a distance, it could be seen that the teams of mages of various sects had left the town and descended the mountain, returning to the Central Plains.

Xuanyuan Tianji's heart became more and more nervous, he felt irritable, and the Heavenly Demon seemed to be getting closer and closer. Grandpa has silver hair and white beard, but he is still steady and imposing, like a general facing the battlefield. The two of them were looking for the snowy mountain, when there was a sudden shaking below, and there was a muffled sound, and the snow above the mountain town fell, and the white gas fluttered, and it seemed that an avalanche had occurred.

Xuanyuan Tianji knew that it was the mountain god who wanted to drive away the mountain people, pretending to be a snow disaster. Xuanyuan Tianji spontaneously had a tragic atmosphere, he heard his grandfather say that the terrifying destructive power of the Heavenly Demons surpassed all the enemies he had ever encountered, and he was ready to sacrifice in his heart, as long as he could prevent the Heavenly Demons from destroying the world and preventing the living beings from suffering, he and his grandfather would be willing even if they were all gone. Xuanyuan Tianji now only hopes that the people in the town will get away from here quickly.

The mountain is quiet as usual, there is no evil qi movement when demons and monsters appear, there is really no trace of the impending appearance of the heavenly demons, Xuanyuan Tianji stood on the top of the mountain, although he has studied magic with his grandfather for many years, he can find monsters and search for demons, and detect the strange movements around, but he can't see any visions here, he said: "Grandpa, is there a special place or altar hidden in this mountain?" ”

Grandpa said: "Tianji, you hold your breath and concentrate and feel it with your heart, can you feel a kind of restlessness?" Xuanyuan Tianji nodded, and Grandpa said, "You are a mellow person, full of good thoughts, so you can sense the power of evil." Xuanyuan Tianji's expression was nervous, and the irritability in his heart became more and more intense, as if the waves were surging from all around, but he couldn't see where it came from, it was simply everywhere! Xuanyuan Tianji looked in the direction of the town, but did not see the mountain people descending the mountain, Xuanyuan Tianji couldn't help but be anxious, the heavenly demon was about to appear, and the mountain people had not yet evacuated this dangerous place.

Xuanyuan Tianji looked around, he suddenly felt a flustered, a huge pressure rushed to the top, Xuanyuan Tianji was still thinking about how the Heavenly Demon would appear, the blue sky above his head suddenly tore apart, as if revealing a strange space, the sky suddenly darkened, and Grandpa shouted: "The Heavenly Demon appeared!" A stream of gray energy poured out from the crack in that space, gathering together to form a half-gray and translucent substance, floating like a mist above the heads of Grandpa and Xuanyuan Tianji.

This is just a matter of an eye, the heaven and the earth are silent, but Xuanyuan Tianji is almost suffocated, his body is about to burst again, an incomparably powerful force rushes in, Xuanyuan Tianji has never felt such a terrifying violent power! The Heavenly Demon rushed towards Xuanyuan Tianji, Xuanyuan Tianji suddenly felt an incomparably cold breath rushing in, he felt his whole body freeze in an instant, very painful, from head to toe seemed to solidify into black stones, and there was a warm current in his heart like fire magma surging all over his body, and his body recovered.

Xuanyuan Tianji was lucky and protected his body, and he was so shaky that he almost fainted. He felt that it was an ultimate power between heaven and earth that no human being could face! Enough to destroy everything in the world! At the same time, the gray qi touched Xiao Huang, Xiao Huang's body immediately turned dark gray, Xiao Huang's eyes became blood-red, and his face was hideous, but Xiao Huang and Xuanyuan Tianji met their eyes, it whimpered, and its body changed from dark gray to yellow.
