Chapter Seventy-One: The Stone in the Heart of the Mountain

As he spoke, Xiao Laodao pulled his arm out of the spring, and when the master took a look, he saw that he grabbed a stone from the spring, the size of a bowl, no different from these stones on the mountain, extremely ordinary.

However, Xiao Laodao seemed to have some kind of treasure at this time, his face was full of joy, he held the stone in his arms with one hand, and quickly pulled the Taoist robe he took off with the other, and wrapped the stone tightly as if it were a zongzi!

Then, he stood up from the ground with the stone in his arms, turned around, and looked at the whole mountain with his eyes, and the smile on his face that had not fallen all the time was even brighter at this time. This is a little difficult for my grandfather to accept.

Xiao Laodao waved his hand and beckoned my grandfather to return to Guanli, and the second monk was confused, so he asked him, "Brother Xiao, is this stone of any use, I think you are very happy." ”

Xiao Laodao waved his hand at my grandfather, looking mysterious, and didn't let my grandfather speak again. My grandfather felt that Xiao Laodao was not mentally wrong at this time.

The two of them quickly returned to the view, Xiao Laodao hugged the stone, called several people to his wing, closed the door, and asked Xiao Chujiu to cover the window with a sheet, making the room very dark. Xiao Laodao then told a few people, no matter what they saw later, they couldn't be surprised, let alone make a sound, my grandfather, Xiao Chujiu, and Xiao Shiyi looked at each other and looked at each other.

Xiao Laodao put the stone in his arms on the table, opened the robe wrapped around little by little, and everyone took a look...... My grandfather doesn't care, because they have already seen it just now, but Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi have big eyes and small eyes, they definitely didn't expect that what the master showed them was an ordinary stone.

Xiao Chujiu looked at the stone, tilted his head, and was about to say something, Xiao Laodao hurriedly waved his hand at him, pointed to the stone again, and motioned a few people to take a closer look.

Several people were surprised when they looked closely, and they saw that the surface of the stone faintly emitted a layer of pale cyan fluorescence, and if the surrounding light was bright or not careful, it would not be visible at all.

When my grandfather saw it, his heart jumped, the light on the stone was exactly the same as the one on the little green cow last night, but it was much lighter.

Xiao Laodao lowered his voice and asked the three of them, "Do you know what this is?" The three of them shook their heads at the same time, and Xiao Laodao said, "This is the 'heart of the mountain'." ”

What is "Mountain Heart"?

Xiao Laodao didn't rush to explain to the three people, turned around and took out a piece of leather from the small baggage on his bed, I don't know what kind of animal skin it is made of, looking thick and strong, Xiao Laodao carefully wrapped the stone tightly with leather.

Then, when he opened the door and removed the sheets from the window, several people walked out of the house, and the grandfather couldn't help but ask him, "Brother Xiao, what is "Mountain Heart"?" ”

Xiao Laodao smiled and answered the question, "This thing is a rare object, I have only heard of it, I didn't expect that there is really a ...... in this world."

After sighing, Xiao Laodao explained to the three people: "The heart of the mountain is the place where the aura of the whole mountain gathers, everything in heaven and earth has aura, mountains and rivers are also among them, many mountains are full of aura, where do those auras come from?" It is obtained by absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, and these essences have a place where they gather, that is, the heart of the mountain, which is like an animal cultivating a truth of Neidan. ”

Xiao Laodao paused and said to the three people: "Don't look at this hill is not big, but it is full of aura, it looks like a cow lying on the ground, the feng shui is excellent, the spring on the mountainside, I just saw it, it happens to be in the position of the cow's heart, this is the creation of heaven and earth." ”

"I heard that the heart of the mountain is in the deepest part of the mountain, even if the mountain is dug up, you may not be able to find it, but there is a spring on this mountain, and after the heart of the mountain has aura, like a child, I always want to come outside to see." Saying that, Xiao Laodao glanced at my grandfather, "Brother, the little green cow you saw yesterday should be the spiritual qi of the mountain, originally, I thought it was some treasure that gave birth to the aura, but I didn't expect it to be a mountain heart stone." ”

Seeing Xiao Laodao's eyebrows fluttering, my grandfather really couldn't bear to hit him, and the grandfather said cautiously: "A person like Brother Xiao who knows the goods knows that it is a treasure, but those who don't know the goods are just a stone in front of them, so what's the use." ”

Xiao Laodao smiled, "Brother, you can't say that, you all drank the spring water." ”

My grandfather, Xiao Chujiu, Xiao Eleven, the three of them nodded at the same time.

Xiao Laodao continued: "After drinking, do you feel energetic? ”

The three of them nodded again, and Xiao Shiyi also gestured and said: After I drank it, I didn't have diarrhea anymore.

Xiao Laodao said excitedly: "This is the biggest benefit of Mountain Heart Stone!" If you use it to soak in water and drink, people who are not sick can strengthen their bodies, and those who are sick will immediately see that they will understand, this is a real treasure! ”

Hearing Xiao Laodao say this, my grandfather frowned and said, "I often hear my father say that rare treasures and virtuous people live in it, such a rare treasure, let's take it, isn't it appropriate?" ”

Xiao Laodao suddenly shouted: "Is there anything suitable or inappropriate, let me tell you, brother, this thing, it should have just come out of the mountain not long ago, and after a long time, sooner or later it will be discovered, there are virtuous people living in it, do you think, in this world, there is a second person who dares to go down to the Yellow River to slay dragons?" ”

The master didn't say anything, Xiao Laodao patted him on the shoulder, "Brother, don't think too much, this thing is better in our hands than in the hands of others, otherwise, why did you see the little green cow yesterday, and find a spring in the back mountain today, this is fate, we should get it, if we don't have fate, we can't meet it at all." ”

Listening to Xiao Laodao say this, my grandfather thought about it, and felt that it seemed to make a little sense, those villagers in the village under the mountain, who lived here for several lifetimes, didn't get anything, a few of them, only lived in the mountain for one day, and got such a baby, what is this not fate, but the master didn't understand a little, so he asked Xiao Laodao, "Even if we should get this treasure, but the green cow turned into the heart of the mountain, why did it come to watch and moo in the middle of the night?" ”

As soon as my grandfather asked this, Xiao Laodao licked his lips, and seemed to be unable to answer, "Maybe...... Maybe it's fate with us, and you want us to get it. ”

My grandfather shook his head, "But all the objects that give birth to spiritual energy will not be allowed to be touched by mortals again, how can Shanxin find us by himself and fall into our hands." ”

When Xiao Laodao heard this, he couldn't answer, and finally Xiao Laodao waved his hand, "I don't want to do so much, since I have a baby, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, hurry up and pack up my things and leave immediately!" ”

Xiao Chujiu heard Xiao Laodao say that he wanted to leave immediately, and asked softly, "Master, we also bought a lot of rice noodles, can we take them with you?" ”

Xiao Laodao smiled, "Silly boy, we have a treasure now, what do you want those ordinary people to do, don't want it, you and Eleven carry the rice noodles down the mountain and give them to the poor people in the village." After that, Xiao Laodao remembered something, and hurriedly added: "By the way, our horses are gone, you go to the village and ask to see if there are any people who want to sell donkeys or mules and buy two to carry the luggage." ”

Subsequently, Xiao Laodao gave the brothers a large bag of loose silver, and the brothers carried rice and noodles on their backs and went down the mountain with the silver.

In the view, my grandfather and Xiao Laodao packed the luggage of a few people, and then the cat entered Xiao Laodao's wing, two pairs of eyes stared at the stone, according to Xiao Laodao, these spiritual things, if you don't watch closely, you may run away by yourself.

In a blink of an eye, the time came to evening, and at this time, Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi had not come back from the mountain.

Xiao Laodao suddenly couldn't sit still, and said to my grandfather: "The ninth and eleventh years ago should have come back, and if they haven't come back yet, something must have happened, don't get the baby, if something happens to the apprentice again, then you will be very happy and sad, brother, you stay on the mountain and look at the stones, I will go down the mountain to find them." ”

My grandfather said, "Brother Xiao, let's go with me, you stay on the mountain." ”

Xiao Laodao smiled slightly bitterly at my grandfather, "Don't forget, you are also a young man, if something really happens, you will only solve it with your fists and feet, you better stay and watch the stones." ”

Xiao Lao Dao means, in case Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi really encounter something tricky, my grandfather will only make things more messy.

Xiao Laodao's words are actually true, with my grandfather's age and temper at the time, if something happens, he will really only solve it with his fists and feet.

In the past, when the grandfather took the ghost monkey to perform along the street, he fought with people a lot, and he didn't suffer a loss in his fists and feet, but as soon as he moved, the place couldn't stay, and the next thing was lifeless escape and hunger, however, young people have this temper, and they don't suffer a few big losses, and they won't have a long memory.

When it was completely dark, Xiao Laodao led Xiao Chujiu back, and as soon as the two of them entered the courtyard gate, the master heard Xiao Laodao count Xiao Chujiu unhappily: "Eleven is still a child, you are in your twenties, how can you still do such a brainless thing, you didn't buy livestock in their village, come back and tell me, run to the town on your own initiative, let people deceive you, you you, you call me, what do you say about you......?"

When the master heard this, he hurriedly came out of the wing, and when he looked at it, he saw Xiao Laodao with a angry face, and Xiao Chujiu followed behind him, drooping his head, looking like he had made a mistake.

The master hurriedly asked what was going on, Xiao Laodao smiled at my grandfather, "It's nothing, if you have a baby, you should break some money." ”

When the master heard this, he asked Xiao Chujiu, who was drooping his head: "Brother Chujiu, what's going on?" ”

Xiao Chujiu raised his head, glanced at my grandfather, and said indignantly: "They are too bullying, if it wasn't for Master's orders, without his permission, I am not allowed to do anything with people, I would have ...... long ago."

Xiao Laodao suddenly glared at Xiao Chujiu, "How are you doing?" You still have the face to say, whoever asks you to give the silver without looking at the goods, don't lie to you! ”

Seeing that Xiao Laodao was going to make a real move, the master hurriedly persuaded: "Forget it, Brother Xiao, just like you just said, we have a treasure, and it is also appropriate to break some wealth." ”

Xiao Laodao suddenly sighed, "These two stupid apprentices, I don't know when they will be able to grow their hearts, they didn't buy livestock in their village, so they ran to the southern town and bought a lame mule for the price of three horses......
