Chapter 153: No one can live in place of anyone
On Zhongnan Mountain, there is only a dilapidated building, the collapsed grass shed roof pavilion is crookedly supported on the rocks and trees, the wind and rain do not move, these things, no one will ever repair them, and Xu Hongye has long been tired of seeing it, this is much more shabby than the Chongyang Palace under the mountain, except for the disciples of the Quanzhen lineage, usually no outsiders will come here for decades, at least, Xu Hongye has never seen it.
Xu Hongye has grown so big, in fact, he has never seen his master's old ancestor in the mouth of the mountain gate, and since he entered the mountain gate, he has never seen it!
This old ancestor of his own family seems to have never shown up, as if he is really an old immortal in the sky, he doesn't eat, drink, or talk to people, Xu Hongye can only occasionally know some news from his master.
After walking for a long time, there was nothing in the sky at night except black clouds.
Xu Hongye was thrown down as usual, and watched the back of the old Taoist go away on the stone path. Xu Hongye can't go in there, so he can only stay here, as for what punishment he will receive, Xu Hongye can only know when he comes back for a while, but Xu Hongye doesn't care too much about it.
The bored Xu Hongye watched the little brother pick vegetables from the vegetable field on the side of the mountain, this season, there are not too many dishes, cabbage, radish, light people are bitter in their mouths, the most unbearable thing is that there are a lot of toon trees growing on the mountain, the leaves of this thing, chopped and pickled with salt and pepper for a little time, you can eat vegetables, for a while, the old Tao likes to eat very much, but Xu Hongye really can't stand it, and always feels that there is a smell of bed bugs in it.
The silent senior brother walked in the night, and he was not surprised to see Xu Hongye, but he stopped, paused slightly, nodded, stuffed a white radish into Xu Hongye's hand, and walked away in the night, which was very cold.
Xu Hongye knew that there was nothing to take care of himself in the mountain gate, so he gave the radish, so it seemed that he was not going to eat for dinner, Xu Hongye, who was very hungry, took a bite of the white radish fiercely, the spicy taste was pungent, and while the senior brother of the vegetable grower was far away, Xu Hongye jumped and threw this thing into the woods.
At this time, the old Tao also came back for a while, surprisingly without anger, but told Xu Hongye the result calmly, punished him for three years in the back mountain, and carved the stone stone for the mountain gate every day to dry medicine and chop firewood, during which he was not allowed to take half a step, as for the mountain array, it will be opened when the time passes tonight, it will be opened, it is difficult to start the array, it is difficult to close the array, and the opening of the large array is still carried out by manpower, after opening, when it can be closed, it is up to fate.
Xu Hongye knew that it was a place to store dried medicinal herbs, dried firewood and straw, as well as some inexhaustible yellow paper incense candles, and there were only a few very poor rooms, which served as firewood rooms, pharmacies and warehouses.
Xu Hongye was very dazed, this punishment is not light, it is not heavy, it is not heavy, it is just very abrasive, Xu Hongye is at a loss just because, from the moment he stepped into the mountain gate, he did not feel the anger of the whole true mountain gate that Lao Dao said before for a while for him to go down the mountain with a yin and yang ruler without permission, everything is as usual, the entire mountain gate, abnormal, it seems that there are only their master and apprentice.
sent Xu Hongye to the back mountain, and for a while the old Taoist was busy with him.
Xu Hongye put the firewood piled up in the firewood room neatly, spread the hay on it, through the window, you can see the turtle-shaped mountain peaks standing in the distance, the turtle-shaped swallow and absorb the qi, it is the most beautiful place in the whole mountain, and it is also the source of the big array.
Xu Hongye didn't feel sleepy at all, not thinking about the yin and yang ruler, there is nothing in this world that can really make him want from the heart, and there is nothing that can make him want to abide by it from the heart, including what fairy child, what is the Tao, in the final analysis, these things have never really aroused his desire, when he messes around with all the indifferent attitudes, except for constantly looking for freshness, nothing else is even more important.
When you are out of step with the whole world, don't force it to blend in, and Xu Hongye doesn't bother to do so.
There was a slight sound of footsteps outside, Xu Hongye suddenly sat up from the hay bed violently, his stomach barked loudly, and when he heard the footsteps accompanied by a slight cat meow, Xu Hongye's heart was fluttering.
Poking his head out from the firewood room, after the mountain pass, the senior brother who had grown vegetables before came over with a food box, and the senior brother who grew vegetables in a plain robe put the food box in front of Xu Hongye and opened it, in addition to two dishes of vegetarian vegetables and a bowl of rice, there was also a wild egg surprisingly, which was incredible in Xu Hongye's opinion.
Xu Hongye ate absent-mindedly, the corners of his mouth sometimes twitched, and sometimes his eyes showed a fierce light, and finally he was a little happy again.
When Xu Hongye finished eating, he left with the food box, walked halfway, turned back, took out the needle and thread, and mended Xu Hongye's clothes.
Xu Hongye's eyes widened, and he watched in horror as his senior brother left without saying a word.
Until he confirmed that his senior brother was far away, Xu Hongye's eyes looked a little uncomfortable, jumped outside the firewood room, and kicked out a black cat in the grass with hatred, the cat didn't even bark, rolled a few times, just looked at him weakly and moved with difficulty.
Following the black cat all the way, Xu Hongye really saw the little ghost girl who was also dying in an extremely hidden place near the Houshan Pass.
Xu Hongye looked at Xiaoxiao, who was covered in injuries, and sneered: "What? Injured by a kid surnamed Yuan? ”
As soon as Xu Hongye finished speaking, he shook his head again, and said to himself: "No, you should go to the black-robed person if you are injured, aren't you in a gang?" What do you want me to do? ”
Hearing the black-robed man, Xiaoxiao's eyes were full of murderous intent.
Xu Hongye was smart in the end, showing a mouthful of white teeth, and laughing sarcastically: "You fell out with him, you wanted him to die, but you were injured by him?" Yes and no? ”
Seeing that Xiaoxiao didn't answer, Xu Hongye asked curiously: "You told me that you were going to kill the kid surnamed Yuan, but that night, you were desperate to save him, and you lied to me without saying anything, since you and the person surnamed Yuan are on good terms, why don't you go to him to save you?" ”
Xiaoxiao hugged the black cat, but her eyes gradually dimmed.
Xu Hongye was stunned, then became extremely angry, and said in a sharp voice: "I understand, someone said that night that Taiyi colluded with the ghost girl, and it was the kid surnamed Yuan and you, right?" If you find Yuan Yu, you will implicate him and kill him, that's why you came to me, didn't you?"
Xiaoxiao's eyes swelled with a hint of banter, and she didn't answer.
With this hint of banter, the stinging Xu Hongye gritted his teeth, pulled up Xiaoxiao's sleeves, pulled her out, and said angrily: "Little ghost girl, are you afraid of implicating that kid, aren't you afraid of implicating me?" Taking advantage of the opportunity of my senior brother to bring me food and follow him to find me, am I not afraid of being implicated? Did you play me Xu Hongye like a monkey? If the black-robed man dares to hurt you, I, Xu Hongye, will dare to kill you! ”
Letting go of Xiaoxiao, Xu Hongye's hateful teeth itched: "Go down the mountain before the time, stay away from me, otherwise, you will die!" ”
Xu Hongye said, threw his sleeves and left, and the corners of Xiaoxiao's faint baby fat mouth moved, and he struggled to get up indifferently holding the black cat......
Half an hour later, when the restless Xu Hongye folded back with the package, the back mountain pass was already empty, and Xu Hongye, who was holding back his depression, threw the cloth package on the ground irritablely, and roared: "The mountain gate is in a big array!" ”
The package broke open, scattering the medicinal herbs and bottles and jars......
