This Life Chapter 8 The wilderness has been very unsafe lately
However, after three days, Ah Tao began to regret her recklessness, and she suddenly found that the king of the mountain was not Zhengtai control, but the uncle control...... This made her hit the wall several times and wanted to die, and she could barely pretend to be a teenager, but if she wanted to become an uncle, she really couldn't do anything.
It's really wonderful, and the taste of the mountain king is also quite strange!
Ah Tao was busy cleaning the traveling carriage, and he cursed in his heart.
I don't know what Bai Zi said to the king of the mountain, but after two nights, the king of the mountain decided to experience the life of a mortal, and he had to eat, live and travel like a mortal.
That's not enough, because he's a half-immortal, and even if he pretends to be a mortal, he can't lose his identity, so he has to be equipped with a small servant, and he is the kind of person who calls and recruits him. Baizi is his sweetheart, so naturally he can't, so this honor falls on Ah Tao's head.
Regret shouldn't have been! Regret should not be!
You must know that the Mountain King's scheming is so terrifying, even if she is burned to ashes by the Red Lotus Fire, she can't agree to walk with Changye.
Ah Tao wiped the low table on the carriage carelessly, and felt that he couldn't be bullied by the king of the mountain like this, so he immediately rubbed the black ash rag on the delicate embroidery cushion a few times, and then he was in a good mood.
She thought that since she couldn't defeat the king of the mountain, she could only find another way.
In the past, in Qiyang Mountain, no one knew that Chang Ye loved to be clean, from the dormitory to the verandah, as long as the place he passed through must be spotless, now let him sit on the dirty mat, I don't know what his mood is.
Thinking of this, Ah Tao snickered, but before she could open her mouth, she heard a familiar voice coming from behind her: "Fat Tao, what are you smiling at?" ”
You're giggling, your whole family is giggling!
Ah Tao turned her head hatefully, and said seriously: "Changye, which eye did you see me laughing?" ”
Chang Ye's slender fingers pointed to the seat cushion she had just wiped: "The good Su embroidery was ruined by you." ”
Could it be that you did bad things without leaving a name and were caught?
Ah Tao's heart sank, but his face was "hissed", and he stiffened his neck and said: "What crisp embroidery, hard embroidery, I am only responsible for cleaning, I don't understand what you say." ”
Changye dragged out the long tail "oh", and looked at her with a smile: "Fat Tao, I really complimented you when I said you were stupid." ”
Ahh
Ah Tao took a sip, turned around and faced Changye with confidence, "Yes, I'm just stupid, if it weren't for a group of fools of us circling around you in Qiyang Mountain, how could we set off your wisdom?" ”
"Well, I really didn't see it, but after opening my eyes, my mouth became tricky." After Chang Ye nodded to himself, he pointed to the dirty rag on Ah Tao's hand, and said lightly, "Remember to prepare an extra clean rag when you clean next time, don't wipe the white crane on the seat cushion into dust again." ”
Tao was petrified instantly.
The king of the mountain is really stingy!
didn't leave a trace of affection to expose her mind in front of pedestrians coming and going, so that she had no face and how embarrassing she was!
It's okay to use her as a servant to insult her identity, and now it's here to insult her IQ and ruin her face! Uncle can bear it, and aunt can't bear it!
Ah Tao jumped out of the carriage and shouted at Changye, who had not gone far: "If you think I can't do a good job, you can find someone else to do it!" The old lady doesn't do it yet! ”
Then, in full view, she slammed the rag in her hand and strode away.
"The little girl is going to be coaxed."
At some point, Bai Zi leaned on the window on the second floor and shook his head worriedly.
Chang Ye raised his eyebrows, looked upstairs, and then looked at Ah Tao's back, and said lightly: "Don't worry, she can't run far." ”
In fact, Ah Tao really didn't run far, mainly because she was unfamiliar with the place, and she didn't know where to run if she wanted to. After this tone calmed down a little, she felt that she had run out penniless, too lacking in heart.
Seeing the dazzling array of rouge gouache, plaything ornaments, and cold and hot snacks on the street, she only had to wipe her saliva.
But if she wants to go back for this, she can't do it, so the villains fight for a pillar of incense, thinking about the original intention of leaving Qiyang Mountain, she feels that she can't continue to tolerate the poisonous tongue of the mountain king.
In the past, she didn't resist because she was under the fence, so she swallowed her anger, but now that she followed Bai Zi to the mortal world to cultivate, did she still have to tolerate the ruthlessness, shamelessness, and unreasonable troubles of the Mountain King?!
She doesn't want it!
So, in a warm scenery of the setting sun, the smoke curling, the breeze blowing, and the harmony, Ah Tao dragged a long oblique shadow aimlessly on the street, the mood was completely unpleasant, and I didn't know how long she walked, until she faintly heard a sigh, she looked up suddenly, no one was seen, only pedestrians shuttled through the street, and there were already few passers-by.
And a few tired birds overhead flew by in a hurry, and seemed to be in a hurry to return home.
Ah Tao looked back at the deserted street, and didn't see half a person coming to her, and she was even more melancholy in her heart, didn't she want to go back?
Yes, yes.
But standing on the cross street, looking around the streets that looked exactly the same, she was confused......
To be precise, she was lost.
After hesitating for a long time and not knowing which way to go, Ah Tao made a bold decision: it's a big deal to sleep on the streets tonight, just to experience the hardships of the mortal world.
She clenched her fists, and fought with the willow tree by the street, and when she finally pulled out a willow stick, the sigh came again, and this time it seemed to be closer.
Ah Tao became alert: "Who?" ”
She looked at the empty street for a long time, and she didn't see a name, and she breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she was too sensitive.
But before he could take a step, a sigh came to his ears again, and it was obvious that this time the sound was coming from behind him, and a chill rushed up from his spine.
"Who!"
Ah Tao trembled in her heart, but she still had to pretend to be on her face, and she turned around suddenly, almost colliding with the old man behind her.
"You, you are?"
Ah Tao swallowed her saliva, she just didn't know it anymore, and she knew that the "person" in front of her was not a person, how could someone grow transparent.
The other party didn't seem to be going to shy away, and said with a sad face: "The old man has been wandering here for some time, but I didn't expect to meet someone who is destined to see me." ”
Ah Tao raised her eyebrows, thinking about what the situation was?
Leprechauns meet geists?
And then what?
Ah Tao scratched her head in confusion, and her intuition was a trouble: "That, although the demons and monsters are all classified as the demon world, the demon world is also subdivided. You and I don't belong to the same department, and I'm only a three-hundred-year cultivator, so I may not be able to help you anything, otherwise I will call the land lord and let him give you some advice? ”
The other party pleaded and looked at her resentfully, without saying a word or being moved.
Are you really going to find her?
Ah Tao wanted to be soft and hard, so he straightened his face and said in a rough voice: "I said ugly things in front, don't mess with me, I have a big temperament, I don't take it lightly, in case I will beat you up, don't rely on me!" ”
This really worked, the other party was stunned for a moment, and then bowed to her, and said quietly: "The old man just wants to make a long-cherished wish before the soul disappears, it seems that he is rash, and I hope the girl will forgive." ”
After speaking, the geist was very lonely and turned away.
"Wait, wait."
Ah Tao looked at the purple clouds in the sky, and suddenly remembered what Bai Zi said about the cultivation of virtue, and hurriedly stopped the other party.
She wasn't sure if helping a wandering spirit was a virtue, but this "person" was also the first person she asked for after she came to the mortal world, and she didn't think it was good to refuse like that.
"If you can trust me, tell me your long-cherished wish, and maybe I can help."
She coughed lightly, hiding the awkwardness of her own initiative.
The ghost's eyes lit up for a moment, then darkened again, shook his head and said, "Forget it, forget it, this is the old man's family affairs that shouldn't bother the girl, so let's find another way." ”
Ah Tao guessed that her refusal just now hurt people's hearts, and she "I" I didn't come up with a suitable sentence for a long time, and finally held back a sentence: "If you don't let me help, it proves that we are not destined to be people." ”
Since they are all destined people, the other party naturally can't refuse, so he has to salute and say: "The old man's name is Ah Li, I don't know the girl's name?" ”
Ah Tao was a little uncomfortable when she was courteous for the first time, and smiled embarrassedly: "You can just call me Ah Tao." ”
The geist said a meaningful "um", and responded without a preface: "Ah Tao, it seems right." ”
Ah Tao was stunned: "What's right?" ”
Ah Yi smiled softly and diverted the topic: "I mean, I finally met someone who is destined, and I have to hurry up, otherwise I will be in trouble after tonight." ”
Ah Tao didn't think much about it, summoned Xiangyun, kicked up, and said with a smile: "This is easy to do, where do you say to go, we just fly over." ”
Ah Wei pointed to the northwest: "There is a Lao Tao girl, go to Queshan." ”
Ah Tao did not doubt him, and flew towards Queshan Mountain.
Along the way, she chatted with Ah Li and learned that Ah Li was originally a third-rate demon exterminator in Queshan, but because of his limited ability, he changed his career to become a woodcutter and married a daughter-in-law. As the saying goes, poor couples mourn everything, Ah Li's daughter-in-law really can't live a hard life, and one day she ran away, but Ah Yi has been waiting for her daughter-in-law to come back, but she didn't see this woman again until she died, and then somehow floated to the market town.
"It's a shame." Tao showed a look of pity, "That woman doesn't deserve your wait. ”
Ah Qi sighed: "It's a good husband and wife, it's all because I was useless to suffer her, I don't blame her." ”
Ah Tao wanted to say something, but I heard Ah Tao continue: "I don't have any ability, and I didn't bring out the treasure handed down by my ancestors after I died, and now I regret it, so I bothered Miss Tao to take this thing out and give it to her to see, and convey my thoughts." ”
"Well said, well said."
Ah Yi shook his head: "I originally left that baby to her, but after thinking about it, it's useless to give it to her, it's better to leave it to Miss Peach as a thank you gift, and I hope the girl will accept it." ”
"Well, don't use it."
Although Ah Tao really wants to know what the baby in the other party's mouth is, she always has to be polite and polite on her face.
Ah Yi smiled desolately: "A demon search lamp left for mortals is just a piece of waste, it is better to give it to the peach girl for self-defense." ”
Demon Finder Lantern?
Ah Tao's eyes lit up, and her first thought was that if she gave the lamp to Bai Zi, she could recover her free body and not have to be used as a bait to help Bai Zi catch demons?
"It's a treasure indeed."
She nodded sincerely, the abacus in her heart snapping.
About half an hour later, Ah Tao finally saw the top of Queshan Mountain under the guidance of Ah Tao.
"That's it, that's it!" Ah Tao seemed to be a little excited, shouted at Ah Tao against the wind, and pointed down.
Tao nodded, and suddenly descended to the ground.
The mountains and forests were so dark that she couldn't see her fingers, she pinched a trick, conjured a floating fire to illuminate it, and asked, "Where is the demon search lamp you said is buried?" ”
The voice behind him was not in a hurry: "Forward, further forward, not far." ”
Ah Tao let out an "oh", and walked towards the depths of the forest with one deep and one shallow foot, without noticing that Ah Tao behind him was materializing.
"How far is it?"
She paused, took a breath, and heard Ah Qi's sharp laughter approaching from behind, and replied, "Miss Peach, the old man is hungry and wants to eat one of your eyeballs first, okay?" ”
Ah Tao was stunned for a moment, and as soon as she turned around, a bloody mouth rushed towards her impatiently.
