Chapter 4 The lotus grass fights the hairy monster
Xiaocao and lotus stayed at her mother-in-law's house for two days, and there was no movement of the villains, and the pine nuts came to visit from time to time. Matsuko is much neater than before, and he is a cool guy according to his current words. It's just that I can't speak when I see the two immortals, and my mother-in-law often quips: "Songzi, two girls are like fairies, which one do you like, mother-in-law will tell you about it." Songzi always smiled and kept silent, just sending some food to her mother-in-law's house, and peeking at the two fairies from time to time. Xiaocao already knew it, but pretended not to know. Sometimes the lotus flower is jumping wildly in her heart, and sometimes it is sweet as sweet. Xiaocao deliberately said to Lotus: "Sister, are we going back?" Lotus was very reluctant: "Sister, let's go, those gangsters come again, what should they do with their mother-in-law?" After another three or five days, there was still no movement.
At noon that day, my mother-in-law was sorting out broad beans under the house, and Lotus fell asleep on the bed because she was tired from playing with Xiaozhu. Xiaocao saw that she was idle and had nothing to do, and walked up the hill behind her mother-in-law's house. The mountain beams are not high, and there are no strange peaks and strange rocks, and the mountains are full of small trees with the thickness of the bowl mouth. The fairy pondered: Could the back mountain that my mother-in-law said be this hill? The fairy wiped as she walked. After walking about five or six miles, I didn't even see a single small animal. The fairy wondered. So he walked another twenty miles, and the trees gradually grew thicker and taller, and they were so dense that as far as the eye could see, they were no more than a few feet. The mountains have also become steep and steep -
The fairy felt the novelty and continued to move on. Suddenly, under a pinnacle, there seemed to be a cave. The fairy approached and took a closer look: he saw that there seemed to be a figure in the cave. The fairy walked gently into the cave and looked inside, and it turned out that the two black gangsters were talking to a person who looked like a Taoist. I only heard the Taoist say: "It's you two who are useless, and you can't even put the two little ladies on the table, it's really a waste material." Usually I teach you the skills, why don't you know how to use it? The two black men were submissive: "Yes, yes, master, it's the apprentice who is incompetent, but those two little ladies are very capable, and the little ones can't get close-" "Hmph! Look at me tomorrow - useless stuff. Listen, you two: I'm going to go into retreat for a few days from the fifteenth day of this month, and you two will give me a good entrance to the cave, so that idle people can't enter. The black man said in a loud voice, "Hear clearly, hear clearly—"
The fairy thought to herself: It turns out that this is the one who will support them again, and the Taoist immortal that my mother-in-law said is this guy. Jiangzhu was just about to be impulsive, and suddenly a group of minions outside shouted in, carrying chickens and sheep, only to hear shouting: "Big brother, it's coming, the things the king wants are here." "The fairy heart said to let you be proud for a while. I want to quit out.
The lotus woke up and the grass was gone. I went out to ask my mother-in-law, but my mother-in-law said that I didn't see it out! Lotus was anxious: "It's over, Sister Cao'er must have left by herself." The mother-in-law put down her work and let the lotus look before and after. Look for the lotus before and after, left and right, how can there be the shadow of grass. Mother-in-law: "Don't worry, why would your sister leave you alone and go alone, maybe she will come back soon-" As she spoke, she saw Xiaocao coming back in a hurry. The lotus flower stepped forward aggrievedly and grabbed Xiaocao: "Sister, I thought you threw me down!" Why did you go? Xiaocao told me what had just happened. The mother-in-law listened and said, "Yes, yes! It's that half-fairy, his skills are not small, and twenty strong men can't beat him. Girl, can you handle the two of you? Why don't I get some of the strong young men in the village to help you?" It's good to destroy this gang of gangsters, otherwise there will be no peaceful life. The lotus said, "Mother-in-law, no need, my sister is big!" Yes, sister! For a while, the courtyard of my mother-in-law's house was crowded with people, and everyone was gossiping: some said how to catch the gang; Some cursed that the gang of gangsters would not die; Some say that these two girls are really beautiful; What's even more strange is that there are two fairy girls here - noisy -
In the evening, Xiaozhu was scared because he heard that the gangsters were coming. Ask Grandma where she is hiding so that she won't be discovered by the gangsters. The lotus hugged Zhu'er and kissed her on the face: "Don't be afraid of Zhu'er, if that villain dares to come, my sister will definitely beat him and not spare him." Bamboo slackened slightly.
The next morning, everyone woke up early. The people of the village prepared knives, axes, hooks and forks, and waited on the street. Song'er came to her mother-in-law's house early in the morning and knocked on the door, and when Lotus saw that it was Xiao Song, she not only said angrily: "What are you doing here?!" Komatsu: "I'll be a helper for the two of you." As he spoke, he pulled out two kitchen knives from his waist. Look at the kitchen knife, it has been sharpened by Komatsu. Lotus sneered: "Do you use this thing?" Xiao Song saw that the lotus flower looked down on him, so he walked to the yard, according to one of the fences enclosed by his mother-in-law's green bamboo stems, cut it into two sections with a knife, and said proudly: "Do you use the top or not?" Lotus smiled: "If you fight for a while, you should stay away so as not to get hurt." Xiao Song said: "No, although you two have kung fu, but after all, you are a big girl's family, how can I hide as a young man?" Lotus smiled again: "I forgot how you ran that day!" Hehehe! Xiao Song was embarrassed to get up, and touched the back of her head with her hand - her mother-in-law saw the two of them in the yard in the house, and you and I accosted each other, and quickly motioned for Xiaocao to come and see. When Xiaocao came to look, Lotus had already spotted them, threw Xiaosong alone in the yard, and ran into the house by himself. Xiaocao whispered in her ear, "What's the matter, did he ask you out?" Lotus thought she was going to say something, so she was listening carefully. I heard that these words hit Xiaocao: "Sister, at a critical moment, what are you talking about!" Xiaocao said: "You have to take care of him for a while, he is really injured, don't cry your nose!" "Everyone was ready to stop talking. Waiting for the demon path to appear-
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Here it is!" It's coming-" The second fairy saw that the demon Dao really had some ability: a gust of black wind had come to the center of the street. Dressed in black. Holding a cane-like hand, surrounded by burrs. Stand still and shout: "Whoever hurts my apprentice, come out quickly!" The villagers stepped aside. The second fairy flew in front of the hairy monster, and Xiaocao Zhengse said: "Your bastard apprentice disturbed the villagers, killed people and sold goods, robbed finances, and caused the villagers to be frightened and unable to live, they were lawless, and they shouldn't be beaten!" When the furry monster heard this, he asked, "Who are you?" Xiaocao: "You old monster is so unreasonable, you don't care about your apprentice, but you come here to ask nonsense-" As soon as the words fell, Lotus stepped forward: "Old monster, don't say much, what skills do you have to use quickly!" When the hairy monster heard this, he moved a little, pointed with his staff, and a dark yin wind with many burrs came to the two fairies. The lotus flower danced its arms, and instantly transformed into a huge lotus canopy, and with only one block, the yin wind and many burrs were blocked back. The furry monster was beaten up. A lot of burrs stabbed the little minions behind the hairy monster, screaming in pain. The villagers cheered for a while. The hairy monster was not ambiguous, and immediately waved the wooden staff to hit him again. The lotus flower caught up, and the two hit the air from the ground, and then hit the ground from the air. For a while, smoke and dust were everywhere, and soil and sand were flying. After fighting for a long time, the two actually won or lost.
The lotus flower shook its spirit, turned the lotus canopy into a sharp sword, and slashed at the monster. The hairy monster used a wooden staff to resist back and forth, but he couldn't cut him. The fight was in full swing, and suddenly the hairy monster shouted "Stop!" Lotus: "You old hairy monster, what new tricks do you have?" The hairy monster: "Don't fight today, fight again tomorrow." "Say you want to go. At this moment, Xiao Song suddenly rushed out of the crowd: "Youkai, if you say you don't fight, you won't fight!" Hold it! "Wielding two kitchen knives, go and slash the monster. Seeing another one, the hairy monster turned around and pointed with his staff, and another yin wind struck straight at him with many burrs. Xiaocao saw it clearly, and was about to cast a spell, but it was too late. The lotus flower also had to turn into a lotus canopy to block it, but it happened suddenly and unexpectedly. In a hurry, he had to protect Xiao Song, but Xiao Song saw that the lotus came to protect him, so he pushed the lotus down and blocked the lotus with his own body. In an instant, Komatsu was stabbed by burrs in two parts of his legs and shoulders, and he passed out at that time. The furry monster ran away like a smoke.
Komatsu was immediately carried to her mother-in-law's house...... At noon, Komatsu slowly opened his eyes, and his face turned pale. As soon as he woke up, he shouted: "Lotus girl—how is the lotus!" When he found that Xiaocao Lotus's mother-in-law and many villagers were beside him, he glanced at Lotus from time to time: "You-you're okay, are you?" The lotus flower was full of disgust: "I told you to stay away, but you didn't listen!" Hello this time - it's strange if it doesn't hurt you! The lotus flower blushed on her face, and her eyes turned red and ran outside. Xiaocao looked at the wound that had been pulled out of the burr, and black blood was gurgling outward. The villagers were also anxious. Xiaocao came out to find the lotus, and saw the lotus standing alone under the house wiping her tears. When he saw Xiaocao coming, he wiped his eyes and pretended not to cry. Xiaocao: "Sister, the poison has already attacked, and it must be treated immediately." Lotus's voice trembled: "Sister, this fool actually used his body to protect me, otherwise, it should be me who was injured." Xiaocao: "Someone loves you, you should be happy!" "Sister, do you have a way?" Lotus said urgently. Xiaocao: "Don't worry, there is a kind of grass on the edge of the Linghe River that can cure a hundred poisons, that grass is called Hundred Soul Grass, only I know it, you take care of him first, just don't let him fall asleep." I will fetch him, and I will deliver him. Lotus was anxious: "Sister go quickly, I'm optimistic." The grass flew away.
Here lotus flowers come into the house to take care of Komatsu. When the villagers heard that there was medicine to save them, they were very happy and gradually dispersed. The little pine on the grass bed is not honest, and always has to move, and the lotus is willing to let it: "Don't move, otherwise the toxicity will spread quickly, and your life will be gone." Komatsu didn't dare to move. The lotus gave Komatsu water to drink on the one hand, and helped Komatsu cover the quilt on the other. Komatsu takes a closer look at the lotus flowers: her face is white and pink, her eyes are like apricot kernels, her mouth is like a purse, and her pink shirt and green skirt are like a fairy descending to earth. Komatsu was looking dumbfounded, and the lotus had already noticed that Komatsu was looking at herself, and threw a cloth towel on Komatsu's face: "Look at it, let you see!" Xiao Song took off the cloth towel and was still laughing: "The girl is really good--you shouldn't be a fairy who came down to earth-no, no!" You must not be a fairy, otherwise what will I do with Komatsu! This said that the lotus flower was a little dizzy: "Am I a fairy, what do I have to do with you?" Komatsu muttered, "If you are a fairy, how can you be married to a mortal like me." "This Komatsu actually regarded the lotus flower as his future daughter-in-law. When the lotus fairy heard Komatsu say this, her heart was like a rippling spring wave, sweet as a yi, and she really became a powdered lotus. I didn't know what to say for a while. The two people stayed there in a daze, looking at each other for a long time without saying a word - the mother-in-law who was boiling water outside heard the conversation between the two inside, and thought: Xiao Song, this child doesn't know if there is such a good life, since the death of his parents, it is pitiful enough to be alone. Suddenly, there was no movement inside. The mother-in-law listened attentively and stretched out her head to look: I saw the two men looking at each other without speaking. The mother-in-law hurriedly retracted her head, grimaced, and nodded, feeling that there was really a door.
Besides, the little grass fairy flew over the mountain beams and canyons, and soon returned to the bank of the Spirit River, carefully looking for the detoxification grass. When you see one, you pick the next. The fairy's beautiful figure moved back and forth on the bank of the Spirit River, and its serious appearance was extremely cute. The fairy quickly collected enough of the detoxifying Hundred Soul Grass. Linghe picked up a handful of water and drank it to quench his thirst, put away the Hundred Soul Grass, and flew around-
There are a few villagers here who come to see Komatsu, and the lotus helps her mother-in-law entertain her. Boil water and hand over tea, busy non-stop. The fairy of the first realm is like an ordinary new daughter-in-law of a farmer's family, and she is enjoying it - her mother-in-law came over and touched Komatsu's forehead and said that she was a little feverish. So he rubbed his hands and feet anxiously with lotus and asked his mother-in-law what to do. The mother-in-law said, "Go and get a cloth towel." "Hurry up and bring the lotus. When the mother-in-law got it in her hand, the cloth towel turned out to be hot. "Just throw it with cold water!" The lotus flower hurriedly threw cold water and brought it. The mother-in-law put a compress on Komatsu's head.
Lotus came over to see Xiao Song: "Don't sleep, don't move, lie down, you will be saved when my sister comes back in a while, if you are disobedient, be careful of your little life!" ”
Komatsu: "I'll do whatever the girl tells me." I lie down, girl, but I will never stand. ”
Lotus: "You're annoying—you'll know to be obedient." ”
Komatsu: "Lotus girl, if I'm well, would you like to stay here?" ”
Lotus: "What are you doing here?" ”
Komatsu: "Yes, yes—you can do anything, like sell windmills with me, well—go hunting with me." ”
Lotus: "Did you make the windmill?" ”
Komatsu was a little excited when he heard that the lotus flower did not object: "Yes! I did it, and I do a lot of it—oops! "Say it, and do it.
Lotus hurriedly stopped: "Don't move - tell you not to move, move again!" At this time, another young villager said outside: "Xiao Song, be obedient, otherwise be careful of your life!" Hahaha! Everyone laughed.
The lotus flower is ashamed.
Suddenly, I heard my mother-in-law shouting, "Ah! The grass is back! I saw that the grass was dripping with sweat, and when I entered the door, I handed the hundred soul grass to my mother-in-law, panting: "Just mash it with a porcelain bowl and apply it to the wound." "Mother-in-law hurry up and get busy. Lotus came over to wipe Xiaocao's sweat: "Sister has worked hard." Xiaocao took the lotus cloth towel to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and said, "Isn't it for the person who can date you?" He leaned into the lotus flower's ear again: "How about it, I didn't make an appointment with you." ”
Seeing that the lotus flower blushed and didn't answer, Xiaocao said mysteriously: "Doesn't it feel good to have someone to ask!" Yes! Giggle-" Lotus also replied: "Sister, aren't you tired, if you are not tired, why don't you go to the Shenying attendant, that person can't wait." Cao'er had to fight back, and when she saw that her mother-in-law had pounded the herbs and handed them to Xiaocao. Xiaocao stuffed the medicine to the lotus, and said, "Go!" Lotus had no choice but to go. Lotus carefully applied the herbs to Komatsu - Komatsu was so embarrassed that he blushed, and he didn't dare to breathe. After the lotus flower finished it, he asked, "How is it, does it still hurt?" Komatsu hurriedly replied: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt." Looking at Komatsu's nervous appearance, Lotus almost laughed out loud-
After a few more days, Komatsu's injuries gradually improved. The affection between the lotus and Komatsu is also deepening. The two fairies are very much loved by their mother-in-law and the villagers, especially the mother-in-law, who asks for warmth, is as delicate as silk, and cares for her, just like her mother. Although the two immortals are both naturally created, but to get such care in the world, the two fairies feel very happy: the world is so good! She both thought the same thing. Xiaocao saw the lotus and Xiaosong's affection, and she smiled shyly, so she was not envious. I thought: I don't know where my enemy is now? All is well! The appointed day is still so far away, far away, I really want that beautiful moment to come soon--the grass thought, and was also immersed in fantasy happiness-
Besides, the old hairy monster ran back to the cave, felt a little dizzy, lay on the bunk to rest, and thought to himself: These two little women have some skills, and I will clean them up after I retreat and practice, and my skills are great. After two days, the hairy monster retreated and cultivated. Ordered the little minions to take care of the entrance of the cave, meditate in the cave by themselves, and a puff of white gas came out of his head for a while. The old monster moved his palms left and right, up and down, and his eyes emitted red light-
At this time, the two fairies of the Zhuzhu Lotus had subdued those minions at the entrance of the cave and tied up the two black men. The two immortals are quietly entering the cave, and there is an open fire illuminating the cave. The two immortals walked for a while and smelled a strange spicy smell, and the lotus almost coughed. The second fairy covered his mouth with his hand and continued to move forward - suddenly he heard a movement, and Xiaocao's eyes were sharp, and he saw that the old monster was cultivating.
Xiaocao nodded to the lotus. The two immortals held the sword in their hands, and suddenly said: "Hairy monster, look at the sword!" "Kill together. The hairy monster did have some skills, and when he heard the voice, he was lifted up by a puff of black smoke after a little luck. The two immortal swords fell into the air. The two fairy girls didn't catch a sword, and turned around to fight again. After about half an hour, the monster had no power to fight back. The second fairy didn't give him a chance to breathe, and rushed violently, and the monster looked like he was about to be defeated, and another puff of white smoke burst out. The spicy two fairies were out of breath, Xiaocao's eyes were fast, and when he saw that the hairy monster picked up the wooden staff to run, he covered his mouth and nose with one hand, and flew to stab it with a sword. Xiaocao was out of breath and almost fell unconscious. At this time, the lotus came over and saw that the old monster ran away with a puff of black smoke.
The second fairy was choked by the smell and coughed, and hurriedly got out of the demon cave, and found a windy place to refresh himself, and then slowly got better. Xiaocao said: "Sister Lotus, this demon path is definitely not human, you and my sister can't hold him, he must have some origin." Lotus: "Sister, he ran away again, what should I do?" Xiaocao: "He has been stabbed by my sword, the wound must not be shallow, I don't think he will come again for a while." ”
It turned out that after Xiao Song's injury gradually improved, Xiao Cao whispered to Lotus: "I asked my mother-in-law, today is the sixteenth day of the first month, and the old monster has started to retreat and practice on the fifteenth day, and this is when he is the most vulnerable. We can succeed in one blow and save the villagers from all over the world. Lotus nodded yes. When I arrived at the mountain, the grass moved fairy, there was a small grass green standing and the palm of the left hand, and then with the index finger of the right hand, the small grass immediately turned into a sword - the lotus also danced the shirt skirt, and when I turned on the spot, there was a lotus pod in my hand, and I also pointed with my hand, and the lotus pod became a sword. The two fairies glanced at each other, both smiled slightly, and then fled to the entrance of the cave, and the two immortals cast spells, and those minions were subdued in a daze, so what happened in this cave-
When the villagers heard that the old monster had been beaten away, they were overjoyed and ran to congratulate each other. Some people have come to the mother-in-law's house to celebrate the joy. Xiao Song helped her mother-in-law entertain her like her mother-in-law's family, and her mother-in-law greeted everyone: "Don't leave yet, the two girls will be back in a while." When the villagers heard this, they were gossiping: how beautiful the two girls were; how to do it; And then said that Komatsu picked up a cheap one, blah, blah-
The two fairies of the little grass lotus flower were walking back stupidly because they didn't hold the old monster in black. Suddenly, he said: "Okay, you lotus!" I can't find you everywhere, so you're hanging out here! Before the voice fell, a woman in red had already arrived in front of her. Xiaocao was stunned, only to hear the lotus shout: "Sister Peony, it's you!" What are you doing here. Xiaocao took a look: the peony red shirt wings, the face is handsome and lovely, the eyes are big and bright, the mouth is a little red, the gestures are soft but clean and neat, it looks like it is also rich and blessed, and the temperament is extraordinary.
Peony: "The Commander is gathering the sisters at Rose, saying that there is something important to say, but you are the only one missing, and he is afraid that you will be punished, so he is looking for you everywhere, but you are here!" Dead girl. Lotus: "Sister, don't blame me, I've done a good deed-" said, pulling Xiaocao: "Sister Peony, this is my good sister Xiaocao, that is, the pearl fairy." Peony looked at Xiaocao carefully for a while and nodded in praise: "What a meticulous girl - I have long heard that there is a grass on the bank of the Spirit River in the west that is practicing by herself - I also heard a romantic story!" As he spoke, he pulled the grass and looked at it again: "Being so well-behaved will inevitably make people love." "The grass is a little uninteresting. The lotus said to Xiaocao: "Sister Cao'er, this is my peony sister - the peony fairy!" Xiaocao Shen Shili: "Cao'er has seen the peony fairy." Peony was also refreshing: "Okay, okay!" Call my sister that's it. ”
At the beginning of the creation of the Tao, Taishang Laojun also set up a strict code of laws for the family, strictly requiring the disciples below, and later founded the Tao Te Ching, which has been a Taoist law. The Tao Te Ching has since become a classic practiced by people all over the world. However, Lao Jun soon discovered that some cultivators were not dedicated to cultivation and were not sincere, and they often went mad and fell into evil ways, harming the world, and Lao Jun once ordered his subordinates to eliminate many such evil people. Lao Jun heard that the disciples of the Buddhist family were sincere and decent. Therefore, I went to ask my junior brother for advice, and agreed with Rulai that on the ninth day of the next month, all factions in the world, especially the Taoist children, would gather at the altar of Rulai, so that they could learn from each other, communicate with each other, and improve together. At that time, most of them will be heads of various sects, Taoist masters, cave masters, and the like. Therefore, the Buddha also attached great importance to it, and personally ordered his ten disciples to supervise this matter. For a while, this became a grand event in the world. For the sake of the glorious conference, the Buddha borrowed several fairies from the emperor to decorate the conference. In today's parlance, that's the attendant of the General Assembly. The Emperor of Heaven said, that's not simple, wouldn't it be beautiful to ask the Hundred Flowers Fairy to lead the Hundred Flowers to go! So Yu Zhao ordered. The Hundred Flowers Leader was a disciple of the Prophetic Virgin, named Ban Baihua (also known as Shi You's detective), who dared to slack off and called a meeting of the fairies in the Rose Garden to set up tasks.
The Peony Fairy found that the Lotus Fairy did not come, and knew that the messenger could not find the lotus flower. Because the lotus has never been on duty and its whereabouts are uncertain, so the peony let the chrysanthemum hold it, and if it is named, it will be agreed to deal with the past. I hurried out to find the lotus flowers. She first went to the lotus pond of Tianyao, where the lotus was stationed, but the lotus was not there. Then he asked the boy in the pond, and said that he had gone to the west. So he looked to the west and couldn't find it, and was returning back, smelling the fragrance of lotus flowers in the air, and looking down, he happened to see lotus flowers and grass—
The peony fairy asked the lotus to leave immediately, but the lotus was already absent from the fairy at this time, and enjoyed the warmth of the world, so she was reluctant to give up, and she had to talk to Komatsu anyway. But Peony said that the matter was urgent, if you didn't leave quickly, not only you, but even me and Chrysanthemum would have to be punished. This is hard for the lotus fairy. Xiaocao suggested that it should be reported first, and then talk about the rest. But Lotus looked at Xiaocao and said to Peony: "Sister Peony, I have been with Xiaocao for a long time, and I can't bear to be separated, Huacao is already a family, why don't we take her with us, and then talk to the leader sister, and the leader will not blame." Peony was still hesitating, and Lotus went over to beg. The peony was already refreshing: "Okay, the homeless and landless are really pitiful, if you are willing, just come with us." ”
