Chapter 8: Enchantment

In fact, speaking of enchantment, as early as three or four years ago, when he and his master were collecting blood for a 10,000-year-old zombie in the cave, they used the boundary-binding talisman to gather the surrounding aura and produce a small-shaped invisible enchantment, and the two of them spent a lot of effort to trap the 10,000-year-old zombie in a narrow enchantment, and finally it could be destroyed. It's just that this kind of enchantment is small and short-lived, and the aura in it will automatically collapse in just a moment. Now this huge mountain of enchantment in front of him seems to have existed for a long time, and it is indeed unimaginable for him to have such a large amount of spiritual power gathered and not dispersed, and at the same time, he also has great admiration for the Dao attainments of the person who cast this enchantment.

He was puzzled, and looked up and down with all kinds of doubts. Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a flash of white light in front of him, if it weren't for the dog's quick reaction, the white object almost hit the door in front of him, and he calmed down, and then he saw that the white object that suddenly jumped out of the enchantment was a white jade rabbit. This jade rabbit seemed to be as surprised as the dog's egg, and after rolling in the air for a few somersaults, its front feet just hit the ground, and then its figure turned into an arrow at a speed, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. A small rabbit was able to jump out of the powerful barrier that pervaded. His mind was full of thoughts for a while, and suddenly, he raised his head and recited the talisman in his mouth, and in his talisman a golden paper talisman appeared out of thin air from his hands, and after two rapid rotations around his body, the moment he swung his hands forward, it turned into a golden light arrow and slammed into the enchantment.

There was no earth-shattering noise as imagined, and the golden light turned into nothing out of thin air like a mud cow entering the sea in the moment it was intertwined with the enchantment. The dog was frightened, but there was nothing he could do.

The sun was gradually setting, and the setting sun hanging on the edge of the sky illuminated the entire western sky in blood red, and the dog still paced back and forth in front of the barrier with his head down, looking at his anxious face, obviously still not having come up with a solution.

Seemingly a little tired, he sat down cross-legged. Suddenly, not far from his side, the white jade rabbit went and returned, and the dog was surprised and just looked at it quietly. The jade rabbit glanced at him, and there was no fear of it, he swaggered between him and the enchantment, and then went and returned, spinning left and right a few times, the dog frowned and felt a little surprised, suddenly, the two hind legs of the jade rabbit actually kicked down hard, and jumped up in the air, under the gaze of the dog, the moment the jade rabbit and the enchantment collided with it suddenly disappeared.

Dog Dan hurriedly stood up and slapped his hand on his forehead: "How could I forget?" This enchantment was originally derived from the direction of the five elements and eight trigrams. The east of the earthquake is separated from the south, the west is gold, the east is wood, the south is fire and the north is water, and the land of the north and south is the place of human death, and it is not enterable. But the rabbit can enter through the golden gate, but my life is even more incompatible with gold. As soon as he smiled, he headed east. In the direction of due east, he slowly stopped, paused, and followed the steps taken by the Jade Rabbit, took three steps forward, took two steps back, and reversed three times on the left and right. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and flew into the air. When he opened his eyes again, it was a bright spot.

Surrounded by mountains, fish fly shallow bottom, birds sing in the forest, clouds are steaming, flying waterfalls fall down, it can be described as a blessed land of fairy mountains, paradise. The dog Dan was relaxed, and he only felt that the spiritual power around him was abundant, and the tired color on his face was reduced by half. He paused and strode forward, and after a short walk, a thatched hut appeared in front of him, and there were cranes foraging in front of the hut, and when he saw a stranger coming, they just flapped their wings twice lazily, and then lowered their heads and continued to eat the food below. Although Goudan had a lot of questions in his heart, he still suppressed the surging curiosity in his heart, walked to the thatched house and stopped, "May I ask anyone?" No one responded, and even screamed several times, and it was still the same.

The dog seemed to be a little impatient, and was about to push the door in, when suddenly, there was a faint sound of "crackling" chopping wood from the direction behind the thatched house. Goudan curiously walked towards the back of the thatched house, poked out, and saw an old man with white hair, beard on his face and beard to his waist, and a crane bone and a childish face who was bending down to chop wood. The dog looked at it for a while, but found that the old man in front of him always closed his eyes before chopping wood, and took two breaths before holding the handle of the axe and slashing down. Although he looked old, he was still calm and relaxed, without the slightest appearance of panting and tiredness, and he couldn't help but have some admiration for this old man. took a step forward, his face was very respectful, and he clasped his hands into fists and said, "Senior." ”

The old man didn't seem to hear him, and didn't look back at him. Goudan paused for a moment, and said angrily: "Senior, may I ask what kind of place is this?" After waiting for a while, the old man still didn't see any answer, frowned, and secretly doubted in his heart: "Could it be that he is deaf?" Although he thought so in his heart, he still had a smile on his face, shrugged his shoulders and walked to the opposite of the old man. Suddenly, the door of the thatched house behind him squeaked open. The dog was stunned for a moment, turned around and looked back, only to see a little Taoist boy about seven or eight years old slowly walking out of the thatched house.

When he walked in front of the dog, he looked up and looked at it, and there was no expression of surprise on his face, and then walked past him, stopped in front of the old man, bowed and said: "Uncle, the master said that the firewood in the kitchen in the back hall will not be chopped by you in the next few days, and the documents piled up in his study in the past few days need you to help him read." ”

The old man nodded, put down the axe in his hand, turned around and walked into the hut. Then Xiao Daotong turned around and walked in front of the dog, smiled at him and said, "You are the dog's benefactor, right?" ”

The look of surprise flashed on the dog's face, and he nodded: "Exactly!" ”

Xiaodao Tong said: "Then you come with me!" With that, he turned around and walked towards the thatched house.

Although the dog had thousands of doubts in his heart, when he saw the figure of the little Taoist boy about to walk into the thatched house, he didn't say anything and followed. Dog Dan followed Xiao Daotong into the thatched house, bypassed a small corridor and came to the kitchen in the backyard and stopped, Xiao Daotong turned around and pointed to the pile of firewood in front of him and said: "The master has long expected you to come, he is not here for a few days, and before leaving, he told him when you can finish chopping this pile of firewood, and he will come back when he comes." ”

Dog Danmu was stunned for a moment, although he didn't expect to do coolies before he saw the owner here, although his heart was unbalanced, but there were inevitably some surprises in his helplessness, and then he glanced at Xiaodao Tong and said: "Is this Jintan Huayang Cave?" ”

Xiao Daotong nodded and said, "That's right." The dog seemed to continue to say something under the joy, but was suddenly interrupted by the little Taoist boy: "If there is nothing to do, I will leave first, please take care of the donor." With that, he turned around and walked away. Dogan stayed where he was and looked at the figure of the little Taoist boy gradually moving away, shook his head helplessly, and then walked to the corner of the kitchen wall and picked up an axe standing there, walked to the firewood pile and stood a short log on a protruding bluestone slab clearing, raised the axe and split it in the air.

"Bang!"

The dog stayed in place for a while, he only felt that his arms were faintly numb, and the moment the axe struck the wood, it was like hitting an iron pillar, not only was it split into two parts, but there was not even a single crack, and at the same time, a huge force came from the axe, and pressed heavily on his arms. Frightened, he added seven layers of force and slashed downward, still without a trace. In the next five days, he tried thousands of methods, even though he barely managed to split half of a short piece of wood with a very little refining of the "Thousand Jin Pendant Talisman". In a moment of melancholy, the old man's pranayama action before chopping wood suddenly appeared in his mind. Slowly, he also closed his eyes, and after taking two deep breaths, he felt that his originally restless heart was slowly calming down, gathering the strength of his whole body between his hands, holding the handle of the axe tightly, opening his eyes and staring at the middle of the wood below and slashing it fiercely.

"Smack!"

Unexpectedly, the axe was embedded in the middle of the wood and sank a third of the way through. The dog was overjoyed, and he already understood that the old man's pranayama before chopping wood could only calm his heart, so that the whole body's strength, eyesight, and mental strength could be condensed into one point. Like an awl and hammer of the same size, it falls freely at the same height and plunges into the dirt at the same time, and of course, the end result is that anyone can guess who got a little deeper into the dirt.

Sunrise and sunset, I don't know how much time has passed, the dog is sweating profusely, sitting on the ground with a butt, looking at the four pieces of firewood in front of him that were finally chopped by himself, and laughing bitterly.

"Are you from the Maoshan Sect?"

The old man's voice came from behind the dog.

The dog was stunned for a moment, and looked back to see that it was the old man who was chopping wood a few days ago with half-waisted eyebrows. While looking at the old man, his face was a little excited, and he nodded and said, "Yes, senior!" ”

The old man looked at him, and said with a smile on his face: "The Maoshan Sect inherited the Shangqing faction thousands of years ago. It is the Fu Gong faction of my Zhengyi, and they are all descendants of the Shangqing faction. "Carry forward the Shangqing scriptures

The dog was stunned for a moment, in his heart, he had already looked at the old man in front of him, knowing that he was by no means an ordinary person, and now he heard him say that he was a Zhengyi, and it was also the Jintan Huayang Cave that the master said before he died. However, although he didn't know much about Zhengyi in his heart, he always felt that this was by no means a simple place in his heart. So, he walked forward very respectfully, and at the same time bent his legs down, knelt down in front of the old man, and said, "Please go out of the mountain and save thousands of Li people from fire and water." ”

The old man looked at him deeply and smiled softly, "Get up, child." ”

Goudan looked excited, and said with a resolute face: "If the seniors don't come out of the mountain, the disciple won't get up even if he kneels and dies here." ”
