The golden bell is out of jade, the auspicious clouds and cranes, the worldly fairyland slowly spreads, a crane has a childish face, two strands of sideburns hang in front of the ears, and the kind old woman walks out of the misty mountains.

Outside the mountains, the silence of all souls.

The old woman suddenly appeared in the hand of a volume of Huangshi Tianshu, ten meters long, there are auspicious clouds under the request, the macro sound is played from the nine heavens, spread for hundreds of miles.

"Today, there is a line in the south of Great Xia, pursuing the immortal road, and those who are destined in the world can come from thousands of mountains, and the mountain gate has been learning from this for three years."

Ethereal nowhere, Qingyuan heard Huangshi Tianyin, and his heart moved slightly.

"In vain." Suddenly, the master who had not been heard for many years passed on the subtleties.

Qing Yuan replied respectfully: "The disciple is here." ”

"Let's go to Dongsheng Shenzhou, the land of Dongtu, and collect an apprentice for me."

Qingyuan hesitated slightly: "Uncle Shi asked his disciples to check the progress of their homework for Senior Sister Miaoling every three days, and I am afraid that I will not be able to leave." ”

"It's okay, you go to the first-line peak to find Elder Tongming to borrow two golden light talismans, and you can rush back within three days."

"Obey the teacher's orders." Qingyuan waved his hand, and after a long time, he pushed open the outer door and headed towards the first line of peaks.

The first-line peak stands in the sky, and the height of the mountain is the most in the door, but the wind on it is too strong, and it is not a blessed land.

The great supernatural person in the door used his mana to carve it into a hundred-story mountain pavilion.

Looking from afar, more than 100 floors, people in the layers enter and exit, driving cranes and clouds.

Qingyuan's trip was in his ninth pavilion, and the person in charge of the cabinet was Elder Tongming.

The clouds and smoke are around, and the rare treasures are displayed between the rows of exquisite chess stands.

There are all kinds of weapons that contain supernatural powers, and there are also magical talismans with divine whims, most of which are priced in spirit stones.

In the pavilion, Elder Tongming was quite comfortable half lying on the bamboo chair made of extraordinary materials, slightly shaking his body with an astonishing belly, looking horizontally into a ball on the side of the circle.

"So, your teacher told me too." Elder Tongming was full of anger and said in a slightly slippery voice, "The Golden Light Talisman of the Thorough Earth, that is the talisman of the Earth Demon Grade, you go to the second place to get it yourself." ”

Qingyuan walked to the row of talismans, the sky and the earth were vast, and the color was yellow.

Stretched out his hand to hold the two golden lights that revealed a bright yellow color among the many spirit runes, and thanked the Tongming Elder: "Thank you, Elder, Qingyuan is retiring." ”

After waiting for no one for a long time, Tongming opened his eyes and smiled: "Such eyesight, such cleverness, and such a ...... heart."

At the end, a sentence was added.

"Such talent."

……

The reason why the world does not live with the immortals is because the red dust is rolling and the immortals are covered with dust, that is a person, not necessarily a person.

In that Dongsheng Shenzhou, outside the east soil, a lush forest, outside the forest at the foot of the north mountain, there is a thatched house.

Pine columns, green thatched roof, thick under the top, little water seepage, a well is placed outside the house, and a wooden fence is enclosed around the well.

Nothing else.

"Sir, sir!" Suddenly, there was a panic outside the door.

The wooden door soon opened, and out came a man with a face that was three points elegant and seven points lean.

"Erniu's father." Seeing the comer, the man wondered, "What happened?" ”

"The second son of the Lei family also died." The father of Erniu has a vulgar pickled face, but he is also a person with a name and surname in this Jinhua Beishan, called Kansai.

And this man is also the only two talents within a radius of ten miles from this Jinhua North Mountain, and he is also the teacher of this North Mountain Villa, named Yanbei.

Hearing Kansai's words, Yanbei said solemnly: "Take me to see." ”

Isn't that the purpose of Kansai's coming here, so he hurriedly led the way.

The two of them were so anxious that they forgot to close the fence.

Soon after they had gone, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in the woods, and quickly climbed over the fence and entered the inner room through a half-hidden window.

This skillful action, at a glance, you can see that it is not the first time to do a strange thing.

There are not many idle things in the house, only a wooden table, a bed, a stove and some idle dry firewood piled in the corner, and the walls have also formed tidal flats in the rain for many years.

It's just the next scene, but a white-haired six-foot curly-eared monkey is sitting on the desk, holding a volume of books, reading it in human words.

But it's a psychic thing!

The syllables are dull, and when you listen carefully, they are no different from the previous Yanbei voice.

Looking at it again, it turned out that it was not from his mouth, but a strange little flower in his hand.

The mouth of the flower is trumpet-shaped, the petals are loose, and there are constantly voices slowly speaking in it.

The white monkey looked at him as if he could understand human speech.

Looking at the book in his hand, the book:

Journey to the West.

This white monkey was originally north of Jinhua, the land of the mountain, and it was the offspring of two gifted white apes, and then fell in this north mountain by chance.

One day, he touched out the dense forest, wandered in the village, and arrived at a place, as if he heard the sound of a straight and round avenue.

He couldn't help but step forward to check, but it was an adult, and many villains gathered together, adults read it, and villains read it again.

He actually understands the truth, so he came here every day after the year to read and hyphenation, and now, it is not a problem at all.

It's just that something seems to have happened to Mr. and Zhuangzi recently, he has seen that the "school" has not had a voice for many days, but his heart is eager for the "Journey to the West" that Mr. told before.

Therefore, in the past few days, it is either at night, or while my husband is out, I have come to read it secretly several times.

He didn't think about taking the book away, he just watched it here.

Addicted to learning without knowing it, the sun has set in the west, until the sound of people outside the fence gradually sounds, and the white monkey returns to its body.

Deftly crossed the windowsill and turned into a black shadow and burrowed into the woods.

Kansai, who was talking to Mr. Yan in the distance, suddenly looked towards the edge of the Kitayama Forest.

"How?" Yanbei asked.

"Huh? Oh, it's nothing, maybe I haven't slept well in a long time because of this, and I thought I saw it just now...... It's all delusion. Scratching his head, Kansai was a little distressed, "But if it goes on like this, how dare the people in the village go up the mountain, if they don't go up the mountain, how can they spend this winter...... Alas. ”

"It doesn't have to be this way." Yan Bei comforted, "It's been a lot of danger in the mountains these days, it's really inappropriate for you to go in, I'll go into the mountains tomorrow to check it out." ”

"How does this work?" Kansai looked excited, "If something happens to you, sir, we will still ...... How else do you see people? ”

"Don't get excited." Yan Bei comforted while walking, "This is Jinhua, and it can be regarded as the foot of the ancient emperor, my generation of students has the protection of saints and the protection of the imperial court, although it is dangerous in this mountain, there is no need to worry too much." ”

"But ......" Kansai stuttered a little and seemed to want to dissuade him.

"Don't worry, you can't retreat for me, and you won't let this flesh and blood feed the beast in the mountains."

"I ......" Kansai wanted to say something, but Yanbei had already entered the fence and closed the door to him.

"Ugh." With a long sigh, Kansai finally did not continue to dissuade.

It's about to enter winter, the world is bitterly cold, if you can't fill your stomach, you can only go to the loess for a while.

And, sir, I am not afraid of your flesh and blood feeding the beasts of the mountains.

What mountain beast could have caused a few sturdy hunters to die so miserably?

I'm afraid...... It's something out there.

It's just that Mr. has a literary name, and if he knows anything outside the square, I'm afraid he will have to go deeper into the tiger's den.

Suddenly, Kansai's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and hurriedly chased after him, shouting, "Sir, wait." ”

Yan Bei, who was about to enter the house, stopped when he heard the sound and came to the front of the courtyard.

Kansai opened the fence and said to Yanbei: "I know I can't stop Mr. from entering the mountain, but please Mr. can listen to me." ”

"But say." Yan Bei nodded.

"It's inconvenient to go to the mountains, tomorrow I will ask my mother-in-law to bring food for my husband early, and my husband will bring some on the road."

Seeing that Yanbei wanted to refuse, Guan Xi suddenly became tough: "Sir, this is a good deed for us people, and we have to dismiss our hearts, and there is no such frivolous way of writing in the book, so let's pretend to be high." ”

Yanbei accepted it.

But Kansai didn't stop there: "I know that Mr. You are a scholar, and I don't believe in the gods and ghosts, but in order to make me feel at ease, please Mr. After going up the mountain, please go to an ancient temple halfway up the mountain." ”

Yan Bei was a little surprised when he heard this: "There is an ancient temple in this mountain?" Who does it? ”

"This ...... I don't know, but please take a trip. As he spoke, he stared at Yanbei tightly.

Yan Bei knew that it would not work if he didn't agree, but it wasn't a non-trivial invitation, so he nodded again.

"I just don't know, what is the name of this temple, and why did I find it?"

Kansai thought for a while, and then pointed to the Maolin on the side and said: "From this road, after three or four turns, there is a pond, which is the water flowing here on the back of the mountain, and Mr. only remembers to follow this flowing water, and it will take about half a day to arrive."

As for this temple, I didn't study literature, but when I was young, I wrote down its strokes in order to recognize it. ”

As he spoke, he squatted down and gestured with his fingers on the ground.

Yan Bei retreated slightly, and with the strokes in Kansai's hand, two words came out of his mouth:

Lan Ruo.
