Chapter 131: Heaven and Earth Turn
Chapter 131: The sky is dizzy
We are like this now, a little breeze is our nemesis, whenever he appears, we have countless "faults" and "mistakes".
It's not okay to pant loudly, and it's not okay to stand or entrench in a bad posture.
When I saw him coming, I had to stand up at once, and I held my head high in a respectful posture.
This really stumps us, if we are okay, although we are used to being domineering, but how to respect others is still a little known.
There are two ways to learn: the teachings of parents since childhood; The second is from the victims, because mortals see that we are not submissive and groveling.
However, now that the two of us are no longer human, it is obviously difficult for some strong people to make such a move.
No matter how we adjust, it is difficult for us to meet the standards required by that child, and we are always scolded and scolded by him, and even punished.
I feel that sometimes he does it on purpose, knowing that beasts can't imitate human behavior, but he doesn't bī for us to do that.
In this regard, our hearts are mirrored, and he is deliberately conditioning us both to vent his resentment towards us.
But so what, because neither of us dared to confront it.
In this way, it has become commonplace for us to be abused and bullied by him, and it has become a compulsory course every day.
At the beginning of the day, we had to behave and stand by the wall honestly.
The forefoot hung down, and because of the length of his arms, the breeze commanded him to stand motionless like a stake with his hands over his knees, and if he slackened, he would be punished by strangling his neck until fainting.
I, on the other hand, had to follow the child's strange request, with my body coiled up like a mosquito coil, my head standing upright like a stick, facing the ceiling, and I had to remain in this position for two pillars of incense to burn.
Fortunately, the snake (shēn) already has the patience (xìng) of waiting for work with ease, and is innate and self-taught.
This may have something to do with their habit of waiting for long periods of time to find the best time to raid their prey.
As a result, I was much less likely to be punished than Shousheng, which in turn became a reason for him to be jealous of me.
Now I can't take care of it so much, but this little breeze has tortured me, including Shousheng, to the point where I am tired of coping, and how can I have the energy to take care of those trivial things.
Everything has its twofold (xìng), although we have all reached the point of unbearable, but in the end, the two of us have almost been sharpened by the wild (xìng), and after more than ten days, habits have become natural, and Shousheng and I have become obedient, and we no longer dare to prick a thorn.
A few days later, the Yunxu Daoist came back, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked about the two of us, Qingfeng didn't answer, just took him to the greenhouse, meaning that he would make his own evaluation.
This kid is quite (xìng) characteristic.
Yun Xuan was very satisfied when he saw that we lowered our eyebrows and did not dare to come out, and praised Qingfeng for his good training: "These two guys have become more docile than sheep!" ”
After receiving the master's appreciation, Qingfeng was very proud, and he was no longer so mean to us, so we were able to breathe a sigh of relief.
After that, it was not difficult to predict that Yun Xuan immediately found out about the disappearance of the little donkey, and when he asked Qingfeng, the child didn't dare to hide it, so he had to put it
組 (qíng) told the master.
When Yunxu heard this, he was furious and scolded Qingfeng with a bloody squirt.
Angrily came to the greenhouse with Qingfeng, pointed at us, and ordered Qingfeng: "Stangle them!" ”
Qingfeng looked at us, a little hesitant, Yunxu scolded the child loudly: "What are you still doing, do it quickly!" ”
Qingfeng couldn't, so I had to come forward, one in one hand, and pull hard, I suddenly felt dizzy, and after a while, I didn't know anything.
I don't know how long it took, but I only heard a moan in my ears, which sounded very familiar, and then I wondered, isn't this Shousheng?
When I opened my eyes, there was darkness in front of me, and after careful identification, I realized that I was lying in the basement of the greenhouse, in the middle of the night.
At the same time, I am very happy to realize that we are not dead, and it seems that Xiao Qingfeng is still a subordinate (qíng) - no, it should be his master, and the Yunxu Dao people are moved by compassion and do not want to put us to death.
In fact, this is the right thing to do, in terms of practicality (xìng), the little donkey is not the same as the two of us, it can only carry something for the Taoist temple, pull and grind, or something, but other than that, it is not very useful.
And the two of us are very different, although the appearance seems to be extremely fierce, but after domestication and "repair", we can become "pillars", and the effect can even exceed that of Qingfeng.
Yunxu would not be surprised by this.
As for the little donkey's work, we don't have to worry about it.
These were proven in hindsight.
I have been contracted to pull and grind, and under the tutelage of the breeze, I have learned a trick that is probably unique among snakes.
Qingfeng still asked me to coil my (shēn) body into the style of a mosquito coil, poke my head high, hold the handle of the mill with my mouth, and turn it around in circles, but I didn't expect that the speed was much faster, and as for the dragging roller, it was the same way, and the efficiency was much higher than that of the little donkey.
Even when Yun saw it, he couldn't help but praise it.
As for Shousheng, needless to mention, although the little donkey is capable, compared to it, it is a small thing.
The load capacity of Shousheng does not know how many times that of the little donkey, but there is only one point, no matter what kind of work you do, you need to be "tracked all the way" by the breeze, which is reassuring.
In addition, it is also very important that we can take on the "important duty" of taking care of the home, as long as we are in charge of the temple, the lynx and beasts within a radius of a few miles will retreat.
The temple was much quieter than ever. This may be unexpected.
In this way, we have become the two indispensable pillars of the Taoist temple, without us, there is a lot less life here, as soon as we appear, life here seems very full (rè) noisy.
I often imagined that there were only two people in the Taoist temple before, an old man and a young man, and the two of them would definitely not have any common language, nor would they often talk and chat together.
The rest is the little donkey, compared to the master, with it, the breeze may be a little chattering.
Because for Yunxu, Qingfeng must be respectful and afraid, and the two of them will not have much to say at all, only when they are with the donkey, he will open his mind (xiōng) and talk about everything, everything.
In that case, the Taoist temple will inevitably seem more and more lonely
However, Taoism advocates quiet and non-action, and such an environment may be just what people need?
In any case, we ordinary people will definitely not get used to it.
Months have passed.
Gradually, Qingfeng and Yunxu Dao people's impression of us began to change, which is not difficult to understand, no matter how obedient and docile the donkey is, it is still a donkey after all, and it is incomparable with people in all aspects.
First of all, we are empathetic – if we can say that, what Qingfeng and the Taoist want to do, we don't have to say it, just a gesture, or even a look, and we will do it immediately.
In addition, we are down-to-earth and capable, which is deeply liked by them.
Naturally, they still try their best to pretend not to expose their senses (qíng), and everyone can understand this, and wicked people like us cannot give a good face, because although we are human beings, we also have beasts (xìng), and in a certain way, once this beast (xìng) attacks, it is more than a real beast, that is, if a person does evil, it is difficult for the beasts to be able to match it.
If we get carried away, we will inevitably reveal our true form, and at that time, we don't know who our surname is.
If it is allowed to develop, it will become more and more difficult to control.
Just like Tang Seng treated Sun Wukong in Journey to the West, no matter how well he practiced, the golden hoop on his head could never be taken off, if once taken off, the Sun Monkey would inevitably be out of control, and at that time, if he rebelled (xìng) and wanted to control it, it would be even more difficult.
For us, the yellow rope around our necks should not be loosened for a moment, and we must maintain a high degree of vigilance at all times, even when we are sleeping, and we must not take it lightly.
And our greatest wish now is that the Taoist of the Morning One (rì) will be able to show kindness, lift the curse on us (shēn), and let us turn back into human form.
I don't know what Shousheng thinks, but anyway, I think it's a good person, and I can't get used to it no matter what.
The first thing is that I have to walk close to the ground all the time, without hands or feet, I can only crawl on my belly, and it is so uncomfortable that I can't describe it in words.
In addition, I had to smell all kinds of smells on the ground at all times, including fragrant, smelly, and all kinds of unpleasant smells.
I often face those ugly insects and reptiles that make my scalp tingle when I look at them, and I really feel that I am not alive.
I really don't know how snakes have lived for thousands of years.
Judging from these aspects, Shousheng must be much better than me.
Although the appearance is unsightly, at least I can still stand and walk, and I don't have to endure the torture mentioned above.
From time to time, I wake up happy when I think about the good times I used to be a human (rì), and sometimes when I dream that I am back in human form when I am napping.
Out of this strong desire, I had to force a smile – naturally it was my own feelings, but in fact the snake has no qíng to speak of, because I have no mirror to look at, so I can only guess.
In terms of action, we need to do what we order and what we want to do, and we need to react very quickly to please both of them.
But sometimes being too diligent backfires and invites them to laugh.
For example, once, the breeze gave me a look......
