When Xiao Laodao heard this, he glanced at Xiao Chujiu, and said coldly: "What kind of trees have more trees and fewer trees, why didn't I see it?" ”
Xiao Chujiu was stunned for a moment, and just about to argue, Xiao Laodao turned his head and glared at him, Xiao Chujiu immediately lowered his head, not daring to say anything more. My grandfather watched from the side, and my heart became more and more confused.
Soon, the three of them walked out of the ravine, and the iconic tree appeared in front of them again, but the three of them looked at the big tree, and they were all stunned.
I saw this lush tree, the upper third of the leaves actually turned into dead leaves, withered and yellow, a gust of mountain wind swept by, and the dead leaves fell with the wind.
What's going on, wasn't it okay when you first came over?
Xiao Laodao looked at it and was a little surprised, but he quickly recovered and beckoned to my grandfather and Xiao Chujiu, "Don't look at it, what's so beautiful about a dying tree, let's go quickly." ”
The three of them walked around the big tree and in the direction of the village, and at this time, the scenery in front of them did not change, and the road was calm, and it was almost noon, and the three of them returned to the village.
At this time, the bachelor old man was busy making lunch, and Xiao Shiyi was helping to light the fire next to him. Xiao Laodao said hello to the old man, took out a stool from the house, sat under the shade of the tree in the yard, crossed Erlang's legs, and smoked a dry cigarette leisurely.
My grandfather turned around and went into the house, took out the cigarette pouch rod that he hadn't used for a long time from his own baggage, and also carried a stool, and sat under the shade of the tree with Xiao Laodao.
Xiao Laodao turned his head to look at my grandfather, and saw that my grandfather was also holding a cigarette pouch rod in his hand, and said in surprise: "Yo, brother, are you so good?" ”
While putting tobacco shreds in the cigarette pouch pot, my grandfather said, "I didn't learn well when I was young, but I learned it from my uncle." ”
Xiao Laodao smiled, "You're not big now." ”
After nesting the tobacco, the master lit the smoke pot with a fire fold, and before he could take a puff, suddenly, from the mountains behind the village, there was a loud explosion like thunder, and the master stood up from the stool in a moment, and the old man and Xiao Shiyi on the stove were also frightened, and their faces changed.
Xiao Laodao was as steady as Mount Tai, and sat down on the stool to greet my grandfather, "Don't make a fuss, sit down and smoke your cigarette." ”
My grandfather glanced at Xiao Laodao, "Brother Xiao, didn't you hear the voice?" ”
Xiao Laodao took a puff of cigarette with great enjoyment, spit out the cigarette in his mouth and said, "What if you hear it, it's none of our business." ”
My grandfather sat down, but the smoke in his pot had been extinguished, and he lit the cigarette again with a fire breaker, and before he could think of it, another loud noise came, and my grandfather got up from the stool again.
Xiao Laodao looked at my grandfather and laughed, "The dignified dragon slayer, how did he become a bird with a frightened bow?" ”
My grandfather hurriedly stabilized himself, and asked Xiao Laodao: "Brother Xiao, you know what this noise is about, right?" ”
Xiao Laodao looked at my grandfather, still smiling, and said slowly: "I know, how can I not know, dog eats dog!" ”
"What do you mean, what dog-eat-dog?"
Xiao Laodao narrowed his eyes and said casually: "At night, you may know ...... at night" Xiao Laodao's voice fell, and there was a loud bang again, the sound was particularly like thunder, but the thunder was not in the sky, it was all in the mountains.
The smoke in the grandfather's smoke pot went out again, the grandfather looked at it, and knocked the cigarette out of the smoke pot angrily, "Lao Tzu is no longer smoking!" ”
After lunch, Xiao Laodao instructed a few people to sleep hard now and take a trip to the mountains at night.
In the evening, after dinner, Xiao Laodao settled down the wolf child mother and son, and took the two apprentices, my grandfather, and the little ghost monkey, and the group headed towards the mountain again.
On the way, my grandfather asked Xiao Lao suspiciously: "Brother Xiao, what are we going to do in the mountains at this time?" ”
Xiao Laodao lowered his voice and replied, "Go to the place where it shines during the day and find the Reflecting Moon Stone!" ”
My grandfather frowned suddenly, and asked again: "Why don't you just look for it during the day, and have to go again at night?" ”
Xiao Laodao glanced at my grandfather and replied, "Our tomb robbers generally work at night, where can we work during the day." ”
As soon as my grandfather heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter, Xiao Laodao was clearly fooling himself, they were masters and apprentices digging graves, as long as there was no one near the tomb, they didn't care about day and night!
Soon, the iconic tree reappeared not far ahead, but after a few people saw it clearly, except for Xiao Laodao, they were all stunned, and they saw that there was not a single leaf on the tree, and the huge tree actually died in one day.
Xiao Laodao looked indifferent, and greeted my grandfather, "Don't look at it, it's important to hurry, as long as you find the Moon Reflecting Stone today, the matter of the old immortal, even if it's over, we can leave here." ”
A few people bypassed the dead trees, did not go any further into the ravine, and walked directly towards the glowing forest along the mountain above the ravine.
More than an hour later, several people arrived in the forest opposite the small temple.
The trees in the forest were not as dense as they had seen before, but they were quite large, and no one could be sure where the glow was. A few people could only carpet up in the forest, looking and searching, and my grandfather found a white stone the size of a millstone in the middle of two big trees. My grandfather looked at it, the two big trees were very close to each other, and just stood in the middle of the white stone, and hurriedly greeted Xiao Laodao, "Brother Xiao, I found it, come and see, it's this stone." ”
When Xiao Laodao heard this, he hurriedly came over from the side. After a circle around the two big trees and the white stone, Xiao Laodao looked a little disappointed and said, "This is the Moon Reflecting Stone, how can it look no different from an ordinary stone?" ”
My grandfather said: "I don't see any difference, I'm sure the one in the small temple is this one, is it really the moon stone you said?" ”
As he spoke, my grandfather squatted down and looked at the stone carefully, and said, "This is not like a town tombstone, if it is a town tombstone, there must be runes on it." ”
Xiao Laodao heard my grandfather say this, and immediately said: "What can you see in this black light, get it back to the village, put it under the oil lamp and take a closer look." ”
My grandfather wanted to light a torch to see, but Xiao Laodao didn't let him, Xiao Laodao instructed Xiao Chujiu to tie up the stone with the rope he brought, and then cut a branch and carry the stone back. My grandfather had no choice but to give up when he heard Xiao Laodao's instructions.
The rope was tied to the stone, and the branch was threaded into the rope, and my grandfather and Xiao Chujiuyi carried the branch one after the other and lifted the stone up.
The stone is not very heavy, even if it is carried by one person, but the mountain road is not easy to walk, and it will be much easier to carry it by two.
Carrying the white stones, they returned along the same road, and several people returned to the village smoothly.
Under the oil lamp, Xiao Laodao squinted his eyes and looked at the white stone, and then laughed bitterly at himself: "Fake, we were fooled, and Bai carried it back." ”
My grandfather was already suspicious when he was in the forest, and then he heard Xiao Laodao say that it was fake, so he hurriedly asked, "Brother Xiao, how do you know it's fake?" ”
Xiao Laodao said: "The real moon-reflecting stone can not only reflect the moonlight, but also reflect the light. As he spoke, Xiao Laodao pointed at the white stone, "Do you see that it reflects the light?" ”
When my grandfather heard Xiao Laodao say this, he said very unhappily, "When I was in the forest, I felt that something was wrong, so I should light a torch and take a photo, you have to carry it back and see it again." ”
When Xiao Laodao heard this, he looked at my grandfather and laughed, and said: "The heavens will descend to the great task, you must first work your muscles and bones, starve your body and skin, what is this, just go again tomorrow." ”
"You ......" My grandfather was speechless for a moment, this old Taoist priest is becoming less and less Taoist.
That night, from the deep mountains came the wailing of wolves, one after another, sounding sad and terrifying, as if all the wolves in the mountains were mourning for whom, my grandfather lay on the bed and tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, listening to the wolf howl, I wondered if their wolf king was dead.
Early the next morning, Xiao Laodao beckoned everyone into the mountain again, and this time, Xiao Shiyi and the ghost monkey were still not allowed to follow, it was still the three of them. My grandfather is getting more and more confused about what Xiao Laodao wants to do.
This time, as soon as they entered the mountain, there was a fantasy, and they touched around in the illusion, but they couldn't find the valley and the small temple, and finally, the three of them returned the same way, and when it was dark, they finally touched back to the village.
After tossing in the mountains for a whole day, in vain, my grandfather and Xiao Chujiu were both depressed, but Xiao Laodao looked happy, sat in the courtyard again, and smoked leisurely.
After dinner, my grandfather asked Xiao Laodao, what should I do next, can I still enter the mountain tonight? Xiao Laodao looked at my grandfather and said, "We have been tossing for so many days, people are sleepy, it is time to rest, rest for a few days and then enter the mountain ......"
Xiao Laodao said this, so that my grandfather really couldn't figure out what medicine was in Xiao Laodao's gourd.
On the first day, there was nothing to do; The next day, with nothing to do; On the evening of the third day, the old fairy in the tomb actually appeared, and he pulled several people out of bed and called them all to the courtyard.
At this time, the old fairy was no longer amiable, and his face was full of anger, and he scolded my grandfather and a few of them for being useless waste. My grandfather is arrogant, except for my ancestor, no one dares to reprimand him with his nose and eyes, and he is about to turn his face with the old guy on the spot, Xiao Laodao hurriedly stopped him, only promised to accompany the old fairy, and promised the old fairy that he would definitely be able to find the Moon Stone.
The old immortal was discouraged, and said to my grandfather that he was actually the white immortal in the White Immortal Temple. (The White Immortal Temple, the small temple in the valley, was written about before.) Later, the two corpse women in the ancient tomb came out to make trouble, and in order to protect the safety of the people, he moved the dojo into the tomb and suppressed the two corpse women.
Who knows, after he left, the five spiritual objects in the mountain fell into the well, and his small temple was occupied, and the moon stone in the small temple was also robbed by them, he negotiated with the five spirit objects many times, and wanted them to hand over the moon stone, but the five spirit objects were very stubborn, relying on the strength of the people, and he fought several times, he was defeated by four hands with two fists, and could only fight with five spirit objects to a draw.
Now, the ancient tomb has been dug open by my grandfather, and the two corpse women have come into contact with the yang energy of the living, and they are about to return to the world and be a disaster.
Finally, the old fairy solemnly warned our grandfather and a few of them, tomorrow is the last day, be sure to get the moon stone in your hands, otherwise, the two corpse girls will break out of the coffin and poison one side!
The crowing rooster in the village suddenly crowed, and the old fairy looked up at the sky, turned around and disappeared.
My grandfather opened his eyes, and there was the sound of chickens crowing one after another, and it was dawn, and it turned out to be a dream.
The grandfather sat up from the bed, and the master and apprentice of Xiao Laodao also sat up from the bed, and several people looked at each other, and my grandfather asked them: "Have you dreamed?" ”
It turned out that several people had the same dream, and the old fairy in the dream spoke exactly the same.
Xiao Laodao said: "This is the old fairy can't wait, and he is urging us to dream." ”
My grandfather said: "What the old fairy said about the corpse girl is true and false, why have I never heard my father say such a fierce evil thing?" ”
Xiao Laodao glanced at my grandfather, smiled, and said in a foggy manner: "If you think he is real, that is true, if you think he is fake, that is fake......"
