Chapter 138: One Rise and Another
Xiao Laodao smiled, "Knowing mistakes can improve Mo Dayan, in the red cloth bag, it is the letter I left for the eldest master of the Jiang family, and it is about the ...... of their ancestral grave."
When the master heard it, he immediately understood, and Xiao Laodao continued: "However, I didn't say that we buried those things in the grave, I blamed the second master of the Jiang family......" After speaking, Xiao Laodao laughed. It's still a draft, and I'll revise it tomorrow.
The showgirl interjected next to her and asked, "Daochang Xiao, where are we going now in the middle of the night?" ”
When Xiao Laodao heard this, he pondered for a moment and said, "Recently, we have been running around and tired, and I want to take you to a place to repair there for a while." ”
The girl asked again, "Didn't you say that when we were separated before, you were going south to do something very important?" ”
Xiao Laodao glanced at the girl and said with a smile: "That's the excuse of the poor road, there is nothing important to do, now it is about to enter the cold winter season, as soon as the weather is cold, it is not appropriate to go out again, besides, we have killed so many people in the Gao family, they will definitely not give up, it is best to find a place to avoid the limelight first, and wait until this winter." ”
A month later, Xiao Laodao took his grandfather and them to Xuzhou Mansion, a place called Xiao County, on top of a soil ridge, there is a small village, below the soil ridge, there is a small river, between the village and the small river, there is a lonely courtyard.
Xiao Laodao led the master and them to stop in front of the courtyard gate, at this time, the courtyard door was open, Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi seemed to be no strangers to the courtyard, turned over and dismounted, and led the horses into the courtyard.
Xiao Laodao greeted my grandfather and the girl at this time, don't be stunned by the two of you, hurry up and enter the hospital.
The master took a look at it and saw that there was still a flat piece hanging on the gate of this courtyard, which read: Heaven and earth are all good. Looking at the meaning of the plaque, it seems to be a Taoist temple, but the layout of the houses inside is not quite similar.
Turned over and dismounted, led the horse into the courtyard, and saw that in the middle of the courtyard, there was a gossip map paved with stones, which made my grandfather feel that this seems to be a Taoist temple, but there is no main hall in this Taoist temple, the courtyard is quite large, and there are only a few earthen tile houses around.
At the end of the courtyard, there is a horse shed, facing the courtyard gate, when the horse is tied to the horse shed, the grandfather asked Xiao Lao Dao suspiciously, "Brother Xiao, what kind of place is this, it looks like a Taoist temple, but it doesn't look like a Taoist temple." ”
Xiao Laodao smiled and said: "This is the home of me and my two apprentices, this courtyard was built by me a few years ago, although we are wandering outside all the year round, we must have a home." ”
At this moment, a person came out of a house on the side and shouted, "Senior brother is back!" ”
The master followed the sound and saw that it was a man in his thirties, wearing a Taoist robe and holding a bun on his head, and the man walked quickly towards Xiao Lao Dao, but the master only found out at this time that this Taoist priest was a cripple and walked crookedly.
Xiao Laodao smiled happily when he saw the lame Taoist, "Senior brother, you want to die as a brother." Xiao Laodao said, and hurriedly pulled my grandfather, "Come, you two meet, this is my junior brother's origin." When the lame Taoist came closer, Xiao Laodao introduced the Taoist, "This is the famous dragon slayer hero on the edge of the Yellow River, junior brother, don't look at his young age, he has great ability." ”
As soon as the two of them met, the master felt that this lame Taoist was kind and kind, much more than Xiao Lao Dao looked at it, and the Taoist looked at my master a few times, showing a kind smile, "Sure enough, he is a hero out of a young man, Brother Liu is extraordinary, and he is the dragon and phoenix among people." As soon as the Taoist spoke, the master heard it, this Taoist should be full of poetry and books, and have some cultivation.
Later, my grandfather only learned that Xiao Laodao's ability to see feng shui fortune-telling was learned from him, they were monks in a Taoist temple back then, but the master of worship was not a person, the master of the lame Taoist people, the master of Feng Shui is quite studied, and Xiao Laodao's master only has a study of Taoist scriptures, and later, the Taoist temple was seized by the Qing army, and those brothers in the temple died and fled, and Xiao Laodao's leg was cut by the Qing army at that time, and he was disabled. Xiao Laodao escaped with him.
After sitting in the house and greeting for a while, the lame Taoist sighed and said: "Senior brother, you are finally back, a few days ago I started a hexagram, the hexagram said that you will return soon, and it is a good omen, it seems that the current matter can also be solved." ”
When Xiao Laodao heard this, he frowned slightly, and asked, "Senior brother, listening to the tone of your words, is there something difficult about you?" ”
The lame Taoist glanced at Xiao Laodao, "Today, something strange happened in their village, many villagers asked me to tell the hexagram, but the hexagram I calculated was very strange, a few nights ago, after I had a hexagram, I actually had a strange dream, in the dream someone warned me not to tell the village people again, otherwise I will not die well." ”
When the grandfather heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "What strange things happened in their village?" ”
The lame Taoist glanced at my grandfather and said: "In their village, many people have some strange dreams at night, and when they get up the next morning, they are tired, as if they have worked all night, every day, it has been more than half a month, and someone in their village has come to ask me what is going on, and I don't know what is going on, so I give them a hexagram. ”
When the lame Taoist said this, Xiao Laodao actually smiled bitterly, "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided." ”
The lame Taoist was stunned for a moment, "Senior brother, how can you say this?" ”
Xiao Laodao looked bitter, "Your senior brother and I have been fighting evil again and again today, I wanted to return to my home to be clean and clean, who would want to ......" Xiao Laodao immediately waved his hand, "We can't control this matter, we don't care about these idle things, and then the villagers come to tell fortunes and tell them to go back!" ”
"This ......" the lame Taoist was embarrassed: "We are waiting for people in the Taoist sect, and we should help the world in danger, where is there any reason to care." ”
Xiao Laodao glanced at the lame Taoist and said, "Senior brother, there are some things that we shouldn't take care of, let's leave it alone, don't worry about yourself." ”
The lame Taoist nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to Senior Brother." ”
That night, after arranging the room for the grandfather and the girl who was an entertainer, Xiao Laodao asked Xiao Chujiu to come to the village to bring more than ten catties of wine, buy some meat, and several people drank happily.
Late at night, the grandfather slept in the room arranged by Xiao Laodao, and suddenly heard a "moo" sound, the grandfather suddenly felt excited, and said in his heart, isn't the gate of the yard closed, where did the cow cry, followed by two mooses, the grandfather suddenly opened his eyes, turned over and got out of bed, but did not open the door, walked to the window, opened the window a crack, and saw that in the yard, there was a small green cow shining all over.
The master was stunned for a moment, isn't this the green cow in the heart of the mountain, why did it run out? Next to the green cow, there was a black shadow, the black shadow was pulling a rope in his hand, and the other end of the rope was tied around the neck of the little green cow, the black shadow seemed to want to pull the little green cow away, the little green cow resisted vigorously, and it seemed that he didn't want to go with the black shadow.
As soon as the master summed up, he snorted, "What person! ”
The black shadow was startled, and turned his head to look at the master's room, but he didn't want to escape.
As soon as the master turned around, he walked to the door, and opened the door with a bang, and saw that the courtyard was empty, and there was nothing.
The master was stunned, what's the matter, what I saw just now, is it a dream?
The master turned around and went back to the house, got dressed, walked towards the door of Xiao Laodao, knocked on the door a few times, heard Xiao Laodao answer vaguely, waited for a while, but did not see Xiao Laodao to watch the door, the grandfather knocked a few more times, the light in Xiao Laodao's house turned on, and after a while, Xiao Laodao opened the door in a daze, "It's my brother, what, you, you haven't slept yet?" ”
The master stepped into the house and asked, "Brother Xiao, is that mountain heart stone still there?" ”
Xiao Laodao was drowsy, and he didn't understand what the master meant, "What? Brother, you, in the middle of the night, asked what the mountain stone was doing? ”
The master said with a straight face: "Brother Xiao, wake up, I saw the little green cow again just now." ”
As soon as the grandfather said this, Xiao Laodao sobered up a lot, "What did you say?" ”
The master said: "Just now I saw the little green cow in the courtyard again, next to the little green cow, there is a tall figure, and when I come out of the house, the little green cow and the figure are all gone, you take a look, the mountain stone is still not there." ”
When Xiao Laodao heard this, he was completely sober, and hurriedly went to the cabinet in the room to rummage, and finally, he took out the tiger skin bag, opened the tiger skin bag, and the heart stone of the bowl mouth was exposed from it, however, the master and Xiao Laodao looked at the stone, and the two of them frowned at the same time, Xiao Laodao said, this is impossible! He turned around and blew out the oil lamp, and the room was dark.
Xiao Laodao suddenly shouted, it's gone, the aura in the mountain heart stone is gone, this, this is impossible, there is a tiger skin bag, and the aura can't come out.
The master blew the fire, lit the candle again, and said, "I'm afraid it has something to do with the figure I saw, and it was the figure that took the little green cow away." ”
Xiao Laodao slapped the table and sat on the chair next to the table decadently, "This mountain heart stone has no aura, it is no different from an ordinary stone, his grandmother's, hard work in vain, let others sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman, go brother, follow me outside to find it!" ”
Xiao Laodao and my grandfather went out of the yard and went around outside, but they didn't find anything, but when they went to the village to look for it, both of them felt that the village was gloomy and had goosebumps all over their bodies for some reason.
Returning to the residence, the two of them didn't sleep again, in a blink of an eye, it was dawn, Xiao Laodao couldn't wait to pull the lame Taoist from the bed, and he had to calculate a hexagram, calculate the aura in the heart of the mountain, who got it away.
