Chapter 11 The Grass Fights the Strong with the Weak
Xiaocao was injured in her right arm by Jin Huanghuan, and she was in pain. Cao Er carefully examined and found that his right arm had broken bones and muscles, and was red and swollen. Xiaocao thought to herself: The right arm is weak, and I can't use my skills, if those monsters and Buddhas attack again, but I can't resist it, it's better to protect the injury first, and go back to the bank of my Spirit River, where all the herbs are moistened with the water of the Spirit River, and you can make a hundred medicines, and wait for the injury to get better. Thinking about it, Xiaocao gritted her teeth, worked hard to exercise a fairy spirit, protected the injury on her right arm, tore off her skirt, and bandaged it simply, the grass rose to the clouds, glanced down, and headed towards the shore of the Linghe, the birthplace of her life-
Besides, the lotus flower is diligent in the Furong Palace, and she gets up to work every day these days. On this day, it was like this again: I saw the fairy sitting on the lotus throne, gently stretching her jade arms, and the palms of her hands were relative to her chest, and her movements were free, natural, and elegant. The lotus flower recited the Hibiscus Sutra in her mouth, and the lotus throne slowly floated up, floated out of the Hibiscus Palace, and rose into the air. The lotus flower faces the rising sun. Facing the sun, the fairy is even more charming and moving: the skin is like the morning glow reflecting the snow, and the clotted fat is as delicate as ivory; A pair of big apricot eyes seem to reveal infinite tenderness and sweetness; The purse-like mouth is ruddy and crystalline, the corners of the mouth are slightly upturned, and there is always an elusive smile; The small nose is straight and rounded; The pointed and round jaw is very playful. The whole body exudes the fragrance of hibiscus - although the lotus flower has a serious expression at this time, it cannot hide another beauty......
When the hour came, the lotus fairy pointed to the hibiscus pool with her right hand, and said in her mouth: "Open!" I saw that the water of the hibiscus pond was slightly dizzy, and those budding lotuses let go of the buds, spit out the stamens, and slowly opened. At this time, look at the Three Realms, especially the Nether Realm, lotus ponds and lotus flowers are competing to open, small lotus sprouts, lotus canopy is soothing, fragrant - people play and enjoy lotus, wandering and playing, and it is very comfortable......
The work is over, and the lotus returns to the Furong Palace to drink tea and rest. Suddenly remembered Komatsu: When I thought of that day on the hillside, Komatsu was like a little tiger doing nonsense on himself, the lotus flower was ruddy, and he secretly smiled - happiness is also rippling in the heart. It seems that once the daughter of the fairy family gets in love, she will be more poetic. Lotus recalled the scene when she met Komatsu: Komatsu was entangled with lotus grass and had to let the windmill that sold him, but he didn't understand human accidents, and he said he would buy it, but he didn't give money, so he took it and left...... He actually took a kitchen knife to fight the black monster, that brave stupidity is really ridiculous, and he was injured to save me - by the way, thanks to Sister Xiaocao who went to the bank of the Spirit River to pick herbs - Sister Xiaocao! Lotus suddenly remembered that Xiaocao said that she would come back if she went to Linghe to see it, and half a month had passed, why hadn't Sister Cao'er come back yet, something had happened! The more Lotus thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and she panicked, so she immediately called the Furong maid on duty and gave a simple order. Driving the light clouds is like coming to the Linghe River to move forward - because the lotus and the grass have been with each other on the bank of the Linghe River for a long time, this generation of lotus flowers is also very familiar, and they have a number of people along the way......
The lotus flowers walked quickly and came to a lake. The lotus looked down: I saw that the face was still the same, but there was just one more family by the lake. One more family! Lotus Strange: Go down and see what you're talking about. Thinking of this, the lotus flower lowered and landed lightly in the family yard. The lotus looked around, but there was no one. The lotus pushed open the door, and a pungent smell came to her face. The lotus instinctively stepped back, covered her nose with her hand, and then slowly looked inside, and was surprised: she saw a pair of adult men and women lying on the ground, not far away, both bleeding, and the blood had turned black. There are also a few dried fish hanging on the wall. When the lotus lifted the curtain and looked inside, she almost vomited: a boy of about five years old was lying naked on his back on a grass bed, his chest and abdomen were all cracked, and his internal organs were completely gone—a fairy in the lotus world, always thinking of many good things in her heart, and she had seen such a tragic scene there. She hurried out of the house and coughed incessantly in the yard. After a while, the lotus flower settled down and shouted loudly: "Who is the demon doing here!" Come out and meet me! "Shouted a few times, but there was no response. Lotus reluctantly went to the room to find a few more pieces of cloth and covered the three corpses. Ascended into the air to inspect it, and when he didn't see anything suspicious, he rushed to the Spirit River again—
On the bank of the Ling River, the green grass is like a tree, the air is fragrant, the sky is blue, and the mountain peaks in the distance are looming, although it seems a little desolate, but there is also a cave. Lotus looked at the place where she had lived with Xiaocao, and was a little excited, thinking: "Sister Xiaocao shouldn't be nostalgic for this place, and she doesn't want to go back." The fairy lowered the cloud head, fell on the Sansheng Stone and looked around, but when he didn't see Xiaocao, he shouted softly: "Sister Xiaocao!" Sister Xiaocao! When he didn't answer, he shouted again: "Little-grass-sister-sister!" Where is the pearl fairy! Still no one answered. The lotus flower wondered: "Isn't Sister Cao'er here?" The lotus tilted her head and saw the small thatched hut where the little grassland lived: "Even in this house, you should hear me screaming—don't deliberately not come out and try to scare me." Thinking of this, the lotus tiptoed to the thatched hut gently, and when she arrived, she saw that the door was tightly closed, and the lotus suddenly broke the door and shouted in the entrance: "Sister Cao'er!" The lotus flower jumped into the house and was dumbfounded: she saw Xiaocao lying on the grass bed alone, her eyes closed, her face pale, and her right arm was flat and swollen like a small tree trunk. The lotus hurriedly helped the grass up, hugged it in her arms, and called loudly, sometimes the grass just opened her eyes slightly, and then closed it again, drowsy, as if she had drunk the drug, and the lotus voice changed. The lotus put a stream of hibiscus true qi into Xiaocao's body, and after about half an hour, Xiaocao slowly opened her eyes, saw that it was a lotus, and called out: "Little Lotus Sister." Then he fell unconscious in the arms of the lotus flower. The lotus called for a long time, and Xiaocao woke up, with a light smile on the corner of her mouth: "I knew that the lotus would come, and you really came." Lotus tears came down: "What's wrong with you!" Do you want this arm! ”
It turned out that the little grassland wanted to use the herbs on the bank of the Ling River to heal the wounds. When he came to Linghe, Xiaocao hurriedly picked some herbs he was familiar with, mashed them, and applied them to his arm, and he exercised fairy qi to heal his wounds. How did she know that the tendons and veins in her right arm were all broken, and the herbs were difficult to join. Because of the blockage of blood and blood, the accumulation and inflammation caused a burning fever, and Xiaocao gradually became delirious and fell asleep. The lotus used the water of the Linghe River to clean Xiaocao's arm, and then put the hibiscus true qi into Xiaocao to reduce swelling, and fed a few mouthfuls of water, Xiaocao was much more energetic. Lotus asked Xiaocao how she was injured, and Xiaocao told Lotus about the front and back, and Lotus exclaimed in surprise: "Oops! Sister Xiaocao, the family you said was killed in my family, and that child was hollowed out and died! Xiaocao listened, and frowned slightly: "This damn old Harry monster, if you see him again, you will never be spared!" The lotus said: "Sister Xiaocao, your arm is like this now, you can't work hard, let's go back to the Furong Palace to recuperate for a while, see that you are a lot haggard, the Shenying waiter can still recognize you there!" Hehe, Sister Baihua's master is a master in treating broken muscles and bones, and you will be back to good within a few days. Xiaocao nodded in agreement, and went to the Furong Palace with the lotus to recuperate from her injuries without going into detail for the time being.
Since Baoyu intervened in the affairs of the Zhou Dynasty, he has been busy. I want to help Zhou Room resist the attack of the demon world. Because he has become a close friend with the prince Bofu, he really wants to help him get through the difficulties, but Bofu is bent on repaying his parents' fertility grace, and Baoyu is also deeply moved by his body in an emergency. That day, Baoyu said goodbye to the prince's clothes with tears, and saw that the sun was about to set, Baoyu was depressed, and rode on the horse given by the king of You, and Putaputa walked out of the city unconsciously. The soldier who defended the city saw that he was the king's righteous son, and how could he dare to stop him. Baoyu was thinking about his thoughts on the horse, and the horse took Baoyu and walked forward, but I don't know how long it took, but Baoyu fell asleep on the horse's back, and when Baoyu woke up, it was already dawn. Baoyu thought to herself: Did I sleep all night on horseback? Then you can see the horses grazing leisurely on the hillside. Baoyu patted the horse's neck: "Horse, what is this place?" How did you bring me here? The horse suddenly raised its head and snorted, then neighed, and its front hooves stomped on the ground and roared before it regained its composure. Baoyu almost fell off the horse, barely ready, and said to the horse: "Where is this, you won't get lost, let's go, let's go down and see if there is anyone." As if he understood Baoyu's words, the horse took Baoyu down the hillside, walked along a path for about a mile or two, turned over the mountain beam, and in front of him was a vast flat river, as far as the eye could see. In the distance, above the Pingchuan, there is a faint city, looming in the smoke. Bao Yuxin said: Where is this? So he urged the horses forward, and walked two or three miles, and saw that the city was clearly visible. At this time, Baoyu saw that there were two woodcutters chopping wood on the side of the road, one young and one old, like father and son, who were tying up firewood, so he stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask the two, what kind of place is this?" "The old man ignored Baoyu. The young man looked at Baoyu: "I see that you are from other places, and tell you that this is the boundary of the Shen Kingdom, and in front of it is the capital Runanyi." Seeing that Baoyu was stunned, he added: "It is the original Xie Yi, and now it has been changed to Runan Yi by the Hou Ye." ”
Bao Yuxin said: This is where the Zhou Dynasty was demoted to the prince Yijiu. Baoyu urged the horse to go quickly, and the horse spread its hooves, and in an instant came to the city. The guards at the city gate said to Baoyu: "You have to show your documents to enter the city!" Where did Baoyu know what documents were not documents, and said, "What documents?" I didn't! At this time, a small head came out of it and squinted at Baoyu with his eyes: "No documents? Where are the people? "Baoyu thought: If I say that I am from Hojing, they will arrest me. Then he said, "I am from the east." Seeing Baoyu hesitating, the head shouted: "Come on, this is a fine work, quickly arrest me!" Baoyu wanted to get off the horse, but when he heard the head of the army say this, he didn't move right away. Several gate soldiers came to catch Baoyu, without Baoyu's movements, the horse stepped on the spot in a circle, and the gate army could not get close. There was a stalemate for a while, and the head of the army was about to have a seizure. I heard the shouting from the castle tower: "Hey! What's next, hey! Don't hurt my horse! When the horse heard the shouting from above, he suddenly neighed, raised his head, and swung his front hooves in the air a few times, and Ptah fell to the ground, neighed a few times, and spun a few times, and was very excited. Frightened a few of the men into shrinking their heads. A gate soldier came to his senses and replied to the door: "Ah, it's Ji Gongzi, this man rode into the city, but he had no documents, and he was stopped by us." "Wait, I'll come!" The prince of the city shouted.
After a while, a young man of about twenty years old ran out of the city gate, ran straight to the horse, hugged the horse's head and cried. The horse stood still, at the boy's petting. The young man cried for a while, then looked up at Baoyu: "Dare to ask Brother Tai how he got this horse?" Who is Your Excellency? Baoyu dismounted, thinking: If I say that it is a reward from the king of You, this young man will be the degraded prince, but it is not good. So he said: "It's a long story, I really have a fate with this horse, that day I went to visit my uncle in the capital of pickaxe, after lunch I went to play, I don't want to see this horse actually locked in a house, there are people guarding, I bought wine and food to take the man to the corner to eat wine, I quietly rescued the horse out of the house, I rode this horse, who knew that this horse actually brought me all the way here, where is this?" I'm going back, how did my uncle know I was here! When the young man heard this, he couldn't wait to ask: "Dare to ask which one Uncle Tai is in the pickaxe capital?" Baoyu said: "My uncle's surname is Jiang, his name is Boyang, and he is still an official in the court!" When the young man heard this, he stepped forward and grabbed Baoyu's hand: "Lord Boyang is really your uncle!" Baoyu nodded: "That can still be fake!" The young man was a little excited, and his hands trembled: "Have you heard Master Boyang say that he has a friend named Jiang Jing?!" Baoyu said, "Yes, I know, Master Jiang Jing has also been to my uncle's house." The young man became more and more excited, and dragged Baoyu: "Brother, please go inside!" So saying, he pulled Baoyu into the city.
Although the young man's residence is not as good as the palace of the Youwang King, it is also very elegant...... The boy arranged for Baoyu to sit down and set up refreshments. Hurriedly asked in detail: "Little brother, how is it now that I heard that Jiang Jing has a daughter?" "Baoyu originally heard Bofu say that Yijiu has a fiancée who is Jiang Jing's daughter, named Jiang Wei. So he said, "You have to tell me who you are first?" I'm going to tell you the truth. The young man said: "Don't hide it from my brother, I am the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, because I was provoked and harmed by the demon Baoxi, so I fled here, and tell me about the situation there." "Yijiu is a little impatient. Baoyu said: "Then if you are really the prince Yijiu, I will come to the right place this time." Yi Jiu said, "But how? Baoyu said: "Jiang Jing does have another daughter, named Jiang Wei, right." Yijiu nodded repeatedly. Since you left, Jiang Wei and her mother have been crying for a long time, the mother and daughter have sighed for themselves, Jiang Jing and his wife are only afraid that their daughter will be delayed for life, Jiang Wei is also getting thinner, and the responsibility here lies with you. "Yi U heard that the grief and relatives cried bitterly.
Baoyu took a sip of tea, and saw that Yijiu was still crying sadly, so he said: "Your Zhou court is already in danger, things here are not fixed, there is a black wind mountain thousands of miles in the north, and there is a black wind cave in the mountain, and the black wind monsters contact the demon clans from all over the world, and they will definitely subvert your Zhou dynasty." Now that you have contacted the Bao Kingdom and the Dog Rong Kingdom, you will soon attack your father, and then, you will defeat the princes one by one, and at that time, your family will be destroyed. I don't know how you feel! When Yi Jiu heard this, his eyes widened, and he was so surprised that he didn't say anything for a long time. Baoyu continued: "Actually, Master Jiang Jing and I have already planned a plan for this matter, but you didn't respond. Yijiu frowned: "I didn't respond, how do I know!" Baoyu said: "Boyang and Jiang Jing have sent someone before?" Yi Jiu shook his head suspiciously: "No—is it—" Baoyu saw the clue: "What's going on?" Yi Jiu said: "A few days ago, I arrested a few, and those people spoke upside down, so that people were confused, thinking that they were spies sent by their father, so they were put in prison and ignored them. Baoyu slapped the table: "That's it, the two adults over there are still stupidly waiting for news!" Yi Jiu said, "What can I do about this?" I'll go and bring out the man at once and ask. Baoyu said: "Don't panic first, there is a remedy for the matter, it is also a certain fate, I had no intention of coming to you, it was your horse that brought me, it is really a good horse, and I know how to do things." Baoyu told Yijiu about the strategy he had agreed with Boyang earlier. Yi Jiu was overjoyed when he heard it: "If you succeed, you will be the benefactor of my Great Zhou, and you should treat each other as a state affair." ”
As he spoke, a lady in her thirties walked into the room. Yi Jiu hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down: "Mother, joy has fallen from the sky today, and my mother and son will soon see the light of day again-" Yi Jiu told her the ins and outs of Baoyu's strategy. When the woman heard this, she burst into tears, sobbed so badly, and stroked Yijiu's head: "My son still has a day to come out, and the sky really has eyes!" After saying that, he knelt down and knocked several times, and Yin Yin's blood oozed from his forehead, and he was stopped by Yijiu.
It turns out that this woman is the queen of King You, Shen, since she and her son Yijiu escaped from Hojing and defected to their father, the mother and son thought that there would never be any more opportunities, so they lived in a low-key manner. Shen helped his son wash and wash every day, and only devoted himself to raising his son. Yi Jiu took care of some things in Hou Ye's army, helped Hou Ye train soldiers, and checked the guard and defended the city. Hou Ye was so angry that he scolded King You for being stupid, so he made a feud with King You, and beat all the people who came from the direction of Haojing without asking about the merits, and put them in prison. No longer have dealings with Zhou Ting.
In the evening, Yijiu's mother and son set up a banquet to entertain Baoyu. Shen thanked Baoyu for his kindness and said some polite words. Yijiu also toasts frequently. Baoyu said: "Tomorrow, I must go back to Hojing immediately and tell Lord Jiang Jing of Boyang about the matter, so that I can prepare." Prince, you need to plan carefully with the Hou Ye, step up military training, and don't slack off. Yi Jiu said: "But please rest assured, I will never live up to my brother's good intentions, benefactor, please accept my worship!" As he spoke, he knelt down and came to worship Baoyu. Baoyu helped Yi Jiu up: "Prince, although Bao Xi is a demon, she has been reincarnated several times, she has human nature, and your brother and uncle, although he was named the prince, you don't want to be jealous of him, some things have nothing to do with him." The prince understands what I mean. Yijiu heard this and hurriedly said: "Uncle obeys my brother and repairs with me since he was a child." When I was demoted, he also helped me a lot, brotherhood, in my heart - as for Bao Xi, after all, she is the biological mother of the uncle, if it is really at that time, it will be handed over to my brother and uncle. Baoyu was very happy to hear this: "The prince has a large number of people, and he will definitely be able to achieve his career!" ”
The next day, Baoyu rode Yijiu's horse back to Hojing. The day before yesterday, because Baoyu fell asleep on the horse, he didn't know the way, so he only took him with the horse. I don't know how long I walked, but I came to a hilly land, there were no plants, just ravines, and the mounds were weird. Horses can only walk on the valley floor. Baoyu looked up and saw that there were some strange rocks on both sides of the valley top. It's not eerie. After walking for a while, the horse stopped, and no matter how much Baoyu urged, the horse just shook his head and didn't leave, and still snorted with a puff. Baoyu touched the horse's neck: "Horse, there is a demon disaster ahead." Horse, don't move here, I'll pay a visit. Baoyu dismounted, turned around and patted the horse's head: "Obedient, don't move, if there is something, you can turn back and run the same way." Do you understand? The horse's front hooves stomped the ground a few times, and his nose poked twice.
Baoyu rode the fog and clouds, patrolling the air: he saw that within a radius of several miles, there was a dark qi and miasma, and it was a little difficult to breathe. Baoyu became alert, and patrolled forward, and suddenly found that at the bottom of a wider ravine, there was a demon who looked like he was not a Buddha or a Taoist, with his hair scattered, and he was fighting with a sword. The demon is surrounded by an eight-sided shape, divided into front and back, left and right, and southeast, northwest, southwest and northeast, each with a demon, front and back, left and right out of the inward, southeast, northwest, northwest, northwest, southeast and southeast The demons face outward, all holding long swords in their hands, up and down, fiddling non-stop. Baoyu secretly fell from the clouds and watched in the corner: suddenly he saw the demon sword sweeping around, and a gas circle of fire came down, and the demon shouted: "Go! The flames suddenly burst out for several feet, and instantly turned into black smoke, and the sky and the sun were obscured with a pop. Baoyu was stunned, suddenly felt unwell, and then felt a tearing pain in his chest, top-heavy, and almost unconscious. Baoyu hurriedly exercised his skills, protected his body with immortal qi, and barely held on.
After about an hour, the black clouds gradually dispersed. Baoyu heard the voice: "Haha, listen, this array is called the Bagua Soul Detachment, which was originally created by the Tibetan monk, just because I was his boy, so I came here secretly." This array is really powerful, within a radius of several miles, all living beings will have their chests ruptured, and their souls will die, and none of them will slip through the net. This time, I will fight with the Black Wind Army as a family and destroy the Zhou Court together, at that time, the Shen army will definitely pass by, we will set up an ambush here, and the Shen army will be wiped out - hahaha! Accepted! Hula, a group of demons fled. Baoyu was surprised to see it, and it was even more shocking to hear it. The heart said: Even the boy of the Buddha of Jizo is a demon in the lower realm, so how is this good. Fortunately, I have immortal qi to protect my body, if it is other mortal creatures, Baoyu suddenly remembered the horse and shouted: "Not good! And he flew away—and behold, the horse, lying there motionless, with round eyes, and blood gurgling from its mouth, long dead. Baoyu was extremely grieved, and squatted down to stroke the horse: "Horse, you are running—you are dead, but let me discover this secret matter, are you in order to fulfill your master's great cause, if this is the case, you will be even more distressed." Baoyu's heart condensed at this time, and he had just been troubled by the Soul Escape Array, so he lay next to the horse and fainted-
I don't remember how much time it took, but Baoyu gradually woke up, only to feel dizzy in his chest and stagnant in his throat. When I got up slightly, I suddenly found that I was lying under a statue of the goddess Nuwa. Baoyu struggled to get up and looked around: this was originally the Nuwa Niangniang Temple. Baoyu looked up at the statue of Nuwa: this statue is very tall, and I saw that Nuwa Niangniang had a kind face and soft eyes, looking at Baoyu. Baoyu was surprised, touched her head, and said to herself, "Why am I here again?" Don't let Nuwa Niangniang save me. Thinking of this, Baoyu hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed several times, and then burst into tears, and read faintly: "I assisted Niangniang to make up the sky, what a courage I was back then, but now I have no hole, no house, no home, and become a prodigal child-" Baoyu was sad in her heart: "It's because I'm useless and can't make up for the sky, but I made Niangniang make a sacrifice-" Just as he muttered, a page fell from above, Baoyu caught it and looked at it, and it wrote: I have no intention of abandoning Mo self-harm, and I am crazy when I am free. Linghe tears are sprinkled with thousands of grievances, and the grass is green and fragrant. Baoyu looked at it, and then bowed to Nuwa: "Niangniang knows what is on my mind, but I don't know where the grass is now, I can't find her, just for the sake of me and you to make up the sky together, let me see her as soon as possible." "After reading it, I spurted out a lot of blood—
