Chapter 21: Shadowing

There is an idiom called: "Shadow follows the body", which means that the shadow always follows the body, describing the close relationship and cannot be separated. Figures and people are born and die together, and cannot be separated. If the fetus is extinguished, the body will be scattered.

The Sanhua Daoist prepared the technical materials, and everything was in order, so he burned a piece of rune paper in a mysterious way, and recited a mantra that no one could understand.

For a while, it was cold outside the window, the wind gradually rose, and the stone particles outside the temple door were faintly beating, like water droplets on the drum surface. It seems that there is always something unusual about the real technology flow when it comes to casting spells!

Tang Mu fidgeted and walked around the main hall, could Li Xiaochun's shadow really come back? Could it be that this Sanhua Dao person is also talking big, how can there be such a magical secret method, Li Xiaochun's shadow has been gone for so long, and he can be greeted back by simply raising a formation!

After reciting the mantra, the Sanhua Dao people sat on the threshold and watched the sky. After a while, the wind outside became louder, and the branches and leaves on the mountain crackled and crackled, as if the sky was about to change.

"簌簌簌 - 簌簌簌 -"

On the roof of the temple tiles, there was the sound of a gust of wind, and the wind ran very fast, as if it was about to roll up the tiles. The moment I listened to it, the sound stopped abruptly, and looking into the distance, there was a faint black shadow reflected on the second master of the white god in the City God Temple.

"The shadow is coming! It's really here! Tang Mu was excited.

"Shh The Sanhua Dao people told him to be quiet, don't startle the shadow. The black shadow wanders on the ground like a swimming fish, it comes to the door of the main hall, stands up from the ground, and turns into a straight black shadow, with a strong sense of three-dimensionality, with seven points of transparency, as if in the world, and as if not in the world.

Sanhua Dao and Tang Mu held their breath and remained motionless.

The shadow bent down, glanced at Li Xiaochun who was lying down a few times, cautiously walked into the main hall, fell down under Li Xiaochun, and returned to his original position.

The Sanhua Dao people immediately took an egg and put the egg in their mouths for a while, after all, they need to get used to their bodies after they are separated!

After a while, the meridians on Li Xiaochun's wrist suddenly trembled, and the person was still asleep and unconscious. Tang Mu saw that Li Xiaochun had a shadow, and went to knock three eggs and make a lunch, Sanhua Dao people ate two pieces of beard and sesame oil, like a white old mouse, his face was oily, like a shrunken old fat man.

The two of them were eating deliciously with their rice bowls, and when they heard Li Xiaochun coughing dryly, it turned out that he had woken up. Addicted to the gall wood on the ridge, although the spirit is sluggish, but it is finally the palace of the king of Hades, coming and going in a hurry, picking up a life, the disaster will not die, there will be a blessing in the future.

He went down to the ground and ate a bowl of egg rice, listened to what had happened in the past few days, ran outside the hall, looked at the shadow under his feet, couldn't help but cry like rain, and knelt down under Sanhua Dao and Tang Mu, thanking him a thousand times.

Sanhua Daoren helped him up and said, "Don't thank me, I have to thank you, if it weren't for your half-dead, Tang Mu's idea of being a live horse doctor, I would still be trapped in the cloud cliff stream and can't get out!" Or is the junior brother right, the irrelevance in the world will be drawn into a circle because of the occasional thing! ”

The three looked at each other, haha, laughed, and the atmosphere seemed very harmonious, like the feeling of a family eating Chinese New Year's Eve.

Although the shadow has returned, it is a shadow out of the body after all, a spirit shadow, and the spirit shadow also has its own benefits, so it can be used as a "messenger".

Li Xiaochun said to the shadow: "Shadow, why did you come back after you ran out for so long?" I thought I'd never see you again! The shadow under his feet "swished" to Li Xiaochun, his mouth opened wide, he took a breath, changed Li Xiaochun's figure, made a whining sound, and said: "The funnel cake of Vulture Mountain is fraudulent, I went there, I was caught by a group of demons, trapped in the hell well, surrounded by magic circles, I couldn't find a way out, if I didn't use the shadow trick to get me out, I'm afraid I would have to die there, and then, you won't live long!" ”

"Don't run around anymore!"

The shadow is not afraid of people, but his voice is very small, and his timbre is exactly the same as Li Xiaochun's, but it is like a thread, soft, and without middle air, after all, it does not rely on dantian to make sounds.

Tang Mu was curious and asked how many shadows had been arrested.

The shadow replied: "I am not the only shadow who has been caught, at least forty or fifty, and the demons have gone to find our respective masters according to our figures, by the way, have the demons come to you?" ”

When the Sanhua Dao people heard this, they gritted their teeth in anger and asked the shadow what the demon looked like when he saw it. The shadow hesitated, thought for a long time, and said that the demon body was fat and strong, the waist was wide and the stone grinding, more than seven feet high, wearing a robe, wearing a hat, a pair of withered straw shoes under his feet, and a skull knife attached to his back, he couldn't see his face, like a living four King Kongs.

The people of Sanhua Dao thought about it carefully, and they never knew this person.

"The gall wood on the ridge is a demon wood, only the woodcutter who knows how to pick wood can find it, this large-scale capture of the shadow, the use of the ridge gall seal people, must be out of the same scum! If you don't get rid of the demons as soon as possible, I'm afraid the mountains and forests will be in chaos! Qiaomen Dandao Qingzimen will definitely set off a catastrophe! Sanhua Dao said angrily, and kicked a few times at the stone pier outside the temple gate. Although the old man usually doesn't seem to be doing his job, he still sees it very openly in the face of major rights and wrongs.

Li Xiaochun stood in the sun for a while, felt dizzy, and reflexively went to the main hall to lie down and rest.

Sanhua Dao people said, you have injured the fetus, and lost your spirit, you have to rest for a period of time to recover as a normal person, what can you send the shadow to do, in addition to heavy physical work, the shadow can do a lot of things, a young man who was once as strong as an ox has lost a lot of weight after experiencing this illness!

Li Xiaochun nodded his round head and said to the shadow: "Go to the ancestral house and get my pillow, I will stay in the City God Temple for a few days and bathe in the divine light of the City God!" ”

The shadow said, "Order!" Then he changed his form, like a strong black wind, and jumped up the wall, and could not find it.

After a while, a sackcloth pillow flew in from the sky and smashed under the shrine of the statue of the god of the city god, and the black shadow swooped down, falling from the sky and kneeling on the ground.

Li Xiaochun picked up the pillow, and before going to sleep, he was afraid that the shadow would be gone after waking up, and said to the shadow: "Remember what I just said to you!" Don't run around in the future, I'll go to the rivers and lakes to find funnel cakes for you to eat. ”

The shadow said: "Don't run, don't run." ”

Sanhua Dao people sneered: "I said, funnel cake is not a thing in a restaurant, the materials are complicated, the materials are exquisite, and it is not baked in a general oven, you may not meet a strange person who can cook this cake in your life!" ”

Li Xiaochun smiled honestly and said that he had to find it, and he couldn't owe the shadow. After speaking, he thanked the Sanhua Taoist again, and even the shadow knelt under the Taoist call and cried, and two crystal tears flowed out of the air.

Seeing the shadow crying, Sanhua Dao was overjoyed, hurriedly took the big gourd, and took the shadow's crystal tears into the gourd. This crystal tear is not the source of the tear gland, it is a good technique, how can you miss it?

The focus of this mountain woodcutter is the collection of these technical materials, and the treasure bag is also a must-have for the woodcutter who is coaxed by the ox.

Li Xiaochun was speechless for a while, and looked at the Taoist blankly.

Sanhua Dao people originally wanted to say something, the words came to his mouth, and swallowed again, he decided to observe Li Xiaochun first, this person has a spirit shadow, the spirit shadow can change various shapes, if you enter the Qiaomen, learn some secret methods, there will be a great use in the future, as for this Tang Mu, know some medicinal materials in the market, can speak well, and is also a rare talent in the rivers and lakes! The two treasures are in front of him, but the old man who is blind doesn't know the goods, and he has been delayed for some years in vain! .

Li Xiaochun didn't know what Sanhua Dao was thinking at the moment, and fell asleep soundly. Tang Mu and Sanhua Daoren didn't close their eyes all the time, they were full of food, and after midnight, they staggered under the statue of the city god, and fell asleep.

Not long after falling asleep, Tang Mu's ears were sensitive, he heard a strange movement, and when he opened his eyes, the door of the palace was wide open, and a white-faced old man suddenly came in at the door, with a pointed face and thin eyebrows, lips like cinnabar, and his face was full of walnut lines.

Isn't the season dead to ashes? How did you come back to the door again?

Tang Mu was suddenly frightened, screamed a few times, and shook Sanhua Dao and Li Xiaochun beside him, but the two of them had no reaction and fell asleep.

Ji Ziqi looked dead, without any expression, he walked into the house, pointed at Tang Mu with his fingers as pale as snow and said: "You are really stupid to go home, let go of a stable life, why do you want to go down the dye vat and wade into muddy waters?" As soon as you enter the Qiaomen, it is as deep as the sea, and the idle clouds and wild cranes are passers-by! ”

Tang Mu sat paralyzed under the statue of the city god, and stumbled: "Don't come here, what are you going to do!" "I took out some medicine powder from my waist, and I had no confidence, "This is the lime you are most afraid of, I will set up a magic circle before you go forward!" ”

Ji Ziqi coughed dryly and said: "Don't be afraid, I'll come to you for a favor, there is a letter here, please pass it on to the Sanhua Dao people, you must give it to him personally, remember, remember ......" After speaking, he smiled weirdly.

"You...... Why don't you give it to him personally!? ”

Ji Ziqi's smile suddenly froze, and he said in a low voice: "His fetal god is too strong, I can't enter his dream, Meng Po is here, I will die at the end of my life, and I will see you in the future-indefinitely-Qiaomen's life and death!" The further back he went, the deeper his voice became, and he couldn't hear what was said at the end.

Tang Mu saw that the Sanhua Daoist was sleeping so much that he was flowing onto the Taoist robe, as if he had a spring dream, and then looked at the dry eye sockets in front of him, he was even more frightened, and couldn't help pressing his hands on his chest, panting heavily, and not paying attention to knocking the iron tree oil lamp next to him to the ground. "Bang", he woke up from a dream, it turned out to be a dream of Nanke, the sun was shining outside the main hall, the wind was smooth, the door of the temple was blown by the wind and squeaked, and no one came in.

On the edge of the iron tree oil lamp, I don't know who sent a letter, the handwriting has not yet dried, and there are four seven-character poems on it: The decaying grass and the slanting sun are full of fog, and the person should not go to the forest for a long time. The woodcutters are all puppet ghosts, and there is no light boat in the world. The ancient Yi Tianshu hides the dragon stream, and the treasure hunter hides it in the mountains

, immortality and eternal thoughts, Tai Sui dared to break ground on his head.
