Chapter 206: The Water of Life
The three old dwarves led the way in front, and the master followed behind, and soon came to the pool in the middle of the circle.
The master looked into the pool, and the spring water was still clear, and it was not too much or too much, but it was not overflowing.
At this time, the old dwarf in the middle signaled to the old dwarf on the left and right, and the old dwarf on both sides understood, stretched out his hands from his robes, and each of them actually had two more wooden cups in their hands, bent down and scooped up the four cups to fill the pond, and then handed them to my grandfather, Xiao Laodao, Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Eleven.
The master took the cup and looked at the pool water in the cup, which was clear and transparent, faint, and had a faint fragrance.
At this time, I listened to the old dwarf in the middle said: "Although this spring water cannot live forever, it can prolong life, and a few people drink it, so I will wait for the rehmannia to repay." ”
When the master heard this, he turned his head and glanced at Xiao Laodao, Xiao Laodao blinked his eyes twice, raised the cup and put it to his mouth, tasted it lightly, and then sighed and praised: "Well, yes, sweet and refreshing, and extraordinary, I have thanked the three immortals." After speaking, Xiao Laodao tilted his neck and poured a cup of pool water.
Seeing this, Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi also drank it, and when the master saw it, they all drank it, so drink it yourself.
The entrance of the pool water is really mellow and sweet, and it is better than any spring water that the grandfather has drunk before, but there is a strange fishy smell in it, but it does not affect the taste of the spring water.
When the master was halfway through drinking, he looked down at the little ghost monkey beside him, and he didn't want to drink it anymore, so he handed the cup to it.
The little ghost monkey suddenly looked excited, and just as he stretched out his hand to pick it up, the old dwarf on the left suddenly shouted: "Don't! ”
A sound went down, causing everyone to be caught off guard, all of them were excited, and the little ghost monkey quickly retracted his hand.
The master looked at the old dwarf on the left and asked ungroundedly, "Old immortal, is there anything wrong?" ”
The old dwarf on the left said, "This spring water is not to be drunk with spiritual objects of cultivation. ”
The master frowned when he heard this, the little ghost monkey has been sharing joys and hardships with himself for so many years, and if he has his own, he must have it, and the master asked unhappily: "Why can't you give him a drink?" ”
The old dwarf on the left suddenly showed a trace of embarrassment, and the old dwarf on the right said slowly: "If this spring water is given to spiritual livestock, they will never forget the spring water, and then give birth to evil thoughts, which is not good for our people...... Many years ago, the gopher spirit's grandmother, the catastrophe was not successful, was seriously injured, we waited for it to drink the spring water to save its life, who knew that after it drank the spring water, it gave birth to the heart of seizure, with the descendants entrenched at the bottom of the cliff for many years, and our people are enemies. ”
When the master heard this, he looked at the old dwarf, then at the pond water in the spring, and said: "In this way, this spring water should be a spiritual thing of heaven and earth, not owned by anyone. ”
The old dwarf on the left hurriedly said: "This spring water is not born to grow, but is the life of our people, the spirit of our people, outsiders drink this spring water, is to drink the life of our people, we used the water of life yuan for the gopher grandmother to continue life, but now it has led to revenge." ”
After the old dwarf on the left finished speaking, Xiao Laodao hurriedly bowed his hand to the three old dwarves and said: "The three old immortals are really benevolent and righteous, and today they drank with us with life yuan water, which shows sincerity, we and a few others must do their best to repay the three for the grace of water!" ”
After that, Xiao Laodao didn't wait for my grandfather to express his position, and greeted my grandfather, "There is a way to eat other people's mouths and take other people's hands short, brother, we have drunk water now, and we should give others a little bit of something, let's go, let's go out immediately, find the nest of gopher spirits, and kill them." ”
When the master heard this, he glanced at Xiao Laodao suspiciously, what Xiao Laodao said was completely different from ordinary days, except for hearing that there was a big tomb, he had never seen him so active in other things.
The three old dwarves heard Xiao Lao Dao say this, and the old dwarf in the middle said: "Don't worry, don't worry, in the old man's humble opinion, don't go out of the valley again, stay in the valley, wait for work, and wait for those gopher spirits to attack, wouldn't it be better." ”
Xiao Laodao suddenly waved his hand, "Old immortal, you don't understand, there are clouds in the military book, instead of sitting still, it is better to take the initiative to attack, at this time, the gopher spirit was injured by my brother three times in a row, and the morale is low, it is a good time to kill them!" ”
When the master heard this, why was Xiao Laodao so active at this time, which military book said: Instead of sitting and waiting to be killed, it is better to take the initiative to attack? Could it be because he drank the water from the pool?
The master said to Xiao Laodao: "Brother Xiao, I think it's better for us to stay in the valley and guard, those gopher spirit illusions are extremely high, let's go out, I'm afraid that we will fall into their way." ”
Xiao Laodao glanced at the grandfather and said: "Brother, what you said is not right, have you forgotten your identity, the dragon slayer, the exorcism of evil people, a few rat spirits are so scared that they don't dare to go out, do you still have the face to see people when they pass it out?" ”
As soon as Xiao Laodao said this, the grandfather couldn't say anything because he blocked him, and the grandfather finally licked his lips, "Then I'll listen to Brother Xiao, what do you say, let's do it!" ”
When the three old dwarves heard this, they glanced at each other, and the old dwarf in the middle persuaded: "Dao Chief, those gopher spirits do have some means, otherwise, we wouldn't send our children and grandchildren with them every year, in my opinion......"
Xiao Lao Dao didn't wait for the old dwarf to finish speaking, and waved his hand confidently, "Old immortal, you have only seen my brother's methods, and you haven't seen the methods of the poor road, I have been digging graves for many years, what kind of spirit has not been seen, and the old things that have been cultivated for thousands of years have to be obedient to me!" ”
When the master heard Xiao Laodao's words, he couldn't help frowning, could it be that Xiao Laodao drank not water just now, but wine? However, the grandfather did not expose him.
When the three old dwarves heard this, they glanced at each other again, and the old dwarf in the middle showed a trace of helplessness and said, "In this way, then ask the Taoist chief and a few people to go out of the valley and kill those gopher spirits......
Then, under the congratulations of the three old dwarves, the master and a few people went into the cave of the round table with a stump, and soon came out of the valley and came to the top of the stone cliff.
At this time, the master wanted to ask Xiao Laodao why he said those big words in the valley just now, but Xiao Laodao waved his hand to the master, "Brother, it's not too early, you hurry up and lead the way." ”
The master had no choice but to swallow back the words he was going to ask. A few people found the previous path on the cliff, followed the path down, and came to the bottom of the cliff again, and then, led by the master, walked in the direction of the gopher cave that appeared before, but the master had no bottom in his heart at this time, the cave had disappeared before, and now he went back to find it, but I was afraid that it would be in vain.
Then, not far from the bottom of the cliff, a cave appeared on the earthen cliff wall in front of him, which was exactly the same as what the master had seen before.
The master turned around and greeted Xiao Laodao: "Brother Xiao, it's time to get there." As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the cave, "This is the earth cave of those gopher spirits." ”
When Xiao Laodao heard this, he looked at the place that the master was pointing to, and actually showed a blank face, and said, "Brother, are you joking with my brother?" ”
The master was stunned for a moment, "Brother Xiao, what do you mean by this?" ”
Xiao Laodao ignored the master, turned his head to look at Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi beside him, and asked, "Did you see anything?" ”
When Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi heard this, they were stunned at the same time, looked at the place where the master fingered, and then looked at Xiao Laodao, and quickly shook their heads.
The grandfather suddenly showed a puzzled look and asked, "Didn't you see anything?" ”
Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi looked at Xiao Lao Dao and shook their heads at the same time.
Xiao Laodao said: "Brother, go on, there is nothing here, what do you let our master and apprentice see." ”
The master was stunned, and looked down at the little ghost monkey beside him, but the little ghost monkey nodded, and the master hurriedly looked at Xiao Laodao, and was just about to ask, the monkey can see it, why can't you see it?
However, Xiao Laodao beckoned to Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi at this time, "Go, continue to move forward, and when you find the nest of the gopher spirit, don't be soft on the two of you!" After speaking, Xiao Laodao led Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi to walk forward.
The master looked dazed, lowered his head and glanced at the ghost monkey, there is obviously a cave on the cliff, how could Xiao Lao Dao's master and apprentice not see it, could it be that it is an illusion now?
Xiao Laodao turned around at this time and greeted the master: "You two, why don't you leave, kill those gopher spirits as soon as possible, and we can repay the favor of the three old immortals as soon as possible." ”
When the master heard this, forget it, follow them and move on, if you separate from them, something might happen.
Along the bottom of the cliff, I don't know how far I walked, at this time, the master looked up to the sky, the sky was already dark, but, after walking for so long, there was no cave on the cliff, and the bottom of the cliff is getting narrower and narrower.
After walking some more distance, Xiao Laodao stopped, obviously tired, and sat on a big rock and gasped.
The grandfather walked over and sat beside him, and the grandfather said to him: "Brother Xiao, we have already walked through that cave, and if we go further, we don't know where we are going." ”
When Xiao Laodao heard this, he glanced at the master, and said with a strange smile: "Wherever you go, you can go back after dawn, and then there will be nothing to do with us." ”
The master was stunned, "What do you mean by that?" ”
Xiao Laodao said: "It's not interesting, you'll understand when we go back." ”
After resting for a while, Xiao Laodao led everyone to continue to walk forward until the sky was bright, at this time, the bottom of the cliff was really brought to the end by a few people, and it became a tall cliff in front of him, and the mountains on the left and right sides were really connected together, and he couldn't go forward anymore.
At this time, Xiao Laodao beckoned everyone, walked back, and then returned to the valley of Rehmannia Essence. When the master heard this, he said, isn't this a blind toss, what is the purpose of such a toss?
In a blink of an eye, the time came to noon, and everyone at this time returned to the stone cave that entered the Dihuang Jing Valley, Xiao Laodao took the lead, and was the first to get into the cave, and when everyone turned around and came to the exit, they looked into the valley, except for Xiao Laodao, they were all a little dumbfounded......
