Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Paradise
However, the good news is that it was an unexpected surprise to land safely in such a flowery place, and everyone was also safe and sound.
After standing up from the petals all over the place and silently counting the number of people, I realized that Ruan Xiaodao, who was unsmiling, taciturn, and easy to be missed most of the time, was no longer there.
After the shock calmed down for a while, everyone naturally realized this. Looking at everyone who was in a low mood, Linda thought about it, and gently patted Ah Xia's shoulder, who was crying, put her hand on the pergola, looked into the distance in the depths of the clouds, and said slowly:
"Karma and evil obstacles will eventually turn into green mountains and be tall alone. Perhaps, for decades, he has been waiting for this opportunity to atone for his sins......" As she spoke, Linda had already stepped on a thick layer of petals, passed by the silent Jin Siniang, and said slowly: "Master, you should know why he did this." ”
"Ahh When Jin Siniang heard this, she also recovered from her mourning for her old friend, her phoenix eyes drooped, and she fell into the memories of the past.
It turned out that Ruan Xiaodao, or Ruan Yunshan, was the Vietnamese scout who strayed into the old mountain village. Influenced by the simple folk customs of the ancient village, Ruan Yunshan deeply felt a kind of comfort in his heart that was completely cleansed in the short time he spent with the villagers, so after the blind father personally sent him down to the old mountain, he promised to quit the army and no longer work for the hot-headed dictator.
It's just that people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves. On the way back to the camp, although Ruan Yunshan had already thought of an excuse to return home under the pretext of illness, as soon as he stepped into the barracks, he had already seen a pair of Vietnamese soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition, and they had already lined up in frenzy.
The reason is that one of his colleagues happened to witness the process of him being rescued by the blind man and his father, and followed them to the top of the mountain, taking advantage of the fact that the day and night had not changed, and the mountain wind and water had not yet rotated, and locked the location of the ancient village. The high-level officials immediately decided to use this leisurely ancient village with a wide open door as a breakthrough to start the Sino-Vietnamese War on the Eastern Front.
After learning of all this, Nguyen Yunshan tried to dissuade the commander, but only received a reply that he was confined. Fortunately, his family was also a Taoist family in Nanyang earlier, and he knew some techniques of shooting flowers, and with this technique, he was also able to get out of the military camp and go straight to Laoshan.
When I arrived at the ancient village, the peaceful peace was gone. Everywhere were the innocent corpses of unarmed villagers, and everywhere were the arrogant wreckage of heavily armed invaders. Although relying on the unpredictable Gu magic of ghosts and gods, the owner of the old village led the blind father and others to annihilate the enemies of the entire reinforced battalion, but the ancient village still suffered heavy losses. After the owner of the village died of his injuries, the blind father had to be forced to leave this paradise of their time with his people. In one step and three times, when the blind man and his father looked back at the devastated hometown from the other side of the valley, they only saw the figure of Ruan Yunshan, who was long overdue, and was very annoyed.
It's just that, across a deep stream, their eyes when they look at him are full of anger and remorse.
Ruan Yunshan knew that he was forever burdened with the debts he owed to this group of simple villagers. Although he did not cause it, it was all because of him. The so-called fate is sometimes so helpless.
So, he broke away from the army, disfigured his face, crossed the border, and finally found the villagers of the old mountain village in the border shelter, and adopted a girl who lost her relatives in the catastrophe as a foot doctor, and paid for the sins he had unintentionally planted, one is forty years.
And all this, others can't see through it, but they can't hide Jin Siniang, who knows how to observe words and looks, and is deeply familiar with the art of looking at each other.
As a fellow doctor, she had long seen that the scar on Ruan Yunshan's face was a new wound rather than an old one. is also a person who can distinguish between right and wrong, she can naturally read the painful torture of Ruan Yunshan's inner contradictions. Finally, after contact, Ruan Yunshan also regarded the sincere Jin Siniang and his wife as close friends, and finally told the two of them the ins and outs of the Laoshan catastrophe, and begged the two to help him rescue the border people threatened by the war and plague.
This is the origin of Ruan Xiaodao and Jin Siniang and his wife, as well as the evil relationship with the Shura sentient beings who will never be able to leave the ancient village.
When the blind man heard about the past that Ruan Yunshan was carrying, he also fell into deep contemplation. Naturally, I couldn't bear to disturb him, so I had to get up silently with Ah Xia, came to Jin Siniang, who was watching the sunrise through the mist, and couldn't help asking:
"I don't know if those corpse Gu people on the top of the mountain will rush out of the rainforest......"
"Ah, you don't have to worry about this, after the sun rises, the heat of the sun will gradually drive the water of the Santu River to the depths of the earth, and without the nourishment of the water of the Styx, those remnants of the catastrophe will slowly turn back into lifeless dry corpses. However, we left too suddenly, and we didn't have time to find the ancient books that recorded the heartbreak grass needed to cure your injured leg...... "Jin Siniang saw that I was worried, and calmly answered my questions, but also reminded me of the purpose of this trip.
I'm dizzy! If you don't say it, I really forgot! What to do! White came.
"Heartbreaker? Is this the thing? During the conversation, Linda, who had just turned to where she had turned, suddenly appeared again, and happened to hear our conversation, so she had already taken out something from her waist, handed it to me, and motioned me to ask the blind man.
When I looked at it, the cool reeds in my hand were crystal clear, and the rhizomes were like fireflies in the clear night sky, flickering with a soft and new glow, which made people look at it and have an urge to forget all the sorrows in their hearts...... Thinking of this, I also peeked at Ah Xia, and I only felt uneasy in my heart - if I want to choose, it is naturally not difficult to forget the pain, but if the price is to forget her, I am really reluctant.
I thought to myself, the joy on Ah Xia's face was already overflowing, I saw her eyes blazing, and her slender hands were a little trembling because of excitement, just relieved from the surprise, I couldn't wait to pull me with Jin Siniang, came to the blind man, and asked him to help with the research.
The blind man also happened to recover from his depressed mood in the company of Aru, and as soon as his wrinkled withered hand touched the heartless grass in my hand, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground, and I also saw through the hope that the moment his hand touched the heartless grass, the crystal clear light blue starlight in the grass was also like pulsed radiation, and instantly transmitted through spiritual energy fluctuations throughout his body. Looking at his involuntary contemplative appearance, I suddenly remembered the wonderful feeling that rippled in my heart when I held the Heartless Grass for the first time before.
"That's right, that's it. The color, fragrance, taste, shape, gas, and spirit are all consistent with what my father described to me. The blind man came back to his senses, and he was also very surprised, and asked again and again where Linda got this magical plant, which he had seen for the first time in his life.
Naturally, we all have the same question. Seeing this, Linda did not hide it, and directly led us to a giant peach tree in the peach forest with roots and branches that were larger than the banyan tree, brushed aside the thick layer of fallen flowers that fell on the ground with the wind, pointed to a hidden tree hole, and said to us: "I found it here." ”
With curiosity, I turned on the flashlight and followed Linda into the narrow tree hole, I was also ready to face the darkness and fear, who knows, as soon as my eyes adjusted to the atmosphere in the cave, a strange and extraordinary scene has come into view. I saw that the interior was actually the size of a bus, but the inner wall was like a colorful soap bubble in the sun, showing countless bizarre images everywhere, like the various wall-mounted TVs on the whole wall in the home appliance section of a department store, each of which was willfully playing a number of bizarre scenes ancient or modern, far or near, familiar or unfamiliar, or known or unrecognizable.
For example, the natural pavilions and pavilions, the quaint mud houses covered with grass, and the street scenes, all of which are closely in line with the old mountains and ancient villages we have seen. It's just that the simple villagers who are comfortable and live and work in peace and contentment have also been reminding me that this lifeless mountaintop tribe is so peaceful and harmonious.
At this moment, everyone was like me, attracted by countless miraculous scenes, only the sharp-eyed Ah Xia gently pushed my arm, pointed to a green vine that flickered from time to time between two blurred images, and said excitedly:
"Plum, look, is it 'heartless grass' that grows on the tip of the rattan?"
Before I could take a closer look, Ah Xia couldn't hold back her excitement, walked lightly to the side of the green vine, carefully stretched out her jade finger, and tapped the tip of the green vine, which was even more inverted, stirring up a pulse of spiritual energy visible to her heart, which spread all over her body.
"That's it!" Feeling this miraculous resonance, Ah Xia was also excited, smiled at me, twisted her fingers, and picked this heartless grass lightly.
When I saw her so bold, I originally complained in my heart - after all, we are not as powerful as Linda, who was not afraid of the ground that day, if there is still some mystery hidden in this spirit grass, so that Ah Xia has three longs and two shorts, then I can't regret it for the rest of my life? But fortunately, until Ah Xia put the glowing glowing spirit grass into her waist bag, there didn't seem to be any bad signs.
Well, she's good for me anyway. Thinking like this, we were also ready to set off immediately to catch up with everyone, and just as we were about to raise our legs and take a step, we saw that next to the place where we had just picked the spirit grass, the mirror-like blisters reflected a similar picture:
Isn't that exactly the scene when I first randomly threw psychic ancient money into the water of the River Styx before the ancient tripod on that altar was on the altar before?
Sure enough, as I hurriedly dropped the coin, under the bright moonlight, a slender thunderbolt suddenly flashed in the clear night sky - looking at the trajectory, it was slashed towards the beautiful figure of Ah Xia in the picture!
"Yikes!"
Although I knew that it was something that had happened a long time ago, I still couldn't see Ah Xia in the picture suffer from the disaster, and when I reacted, I realized that my hand had involuntarily reached into the strange soap bubble, and twisted the lower sphere with a "pop", changing the trajectory of the thunder and shining light, and leading it to other places like a flower-
Worst! By the time I realized that the thunder light had been hit by me by mistake, it suddenly slammed into Linda on the other side of the screen, and when I quickly pulled out my hand, it was already too late, and the whistling purple lightning had already crossed an elegant slow motion on the foam sphere, and smashed towards Linda who was standing on her back impartially!
"Boom!"
"Roar!"
It's just that the result was both unexpected and reasonable—because, Linda's appropriate dodge had already led the purple lightning to the hundred-foot-tall Gu Transformation Thief Devouring Giant at the moment when the thunder light was about to hit her—wasn't this exactly the same as what happened before!
Oh, my God! After discovering this, I also couldn't help but look at Linda not far in front of me, and she, as if telepathically, turned around and shrugged her shoulders to me and Ah Xia, and made an exact move that she had done when she avoided the thunder before.
It's like saying, "Hehe! I didn't expect it! ”
