Chapter 37: The Old Immortal
Now it's time for the two of us to shop for stuff there.
Suddenly, a mysterious figure suddenly bumped into me, and then there seemed to be a trace of anxiety in his eyes: "Friend, come with me!" ”
I was a little puzzled and didn't know what was going on.
glanced at Bai Zhi, but found that the man was walking towards an alley.
"Let's go, go over and have a look." Bai Zhi's brows also furrowed, but after a slight pause, she nodded slightly.
We hurriedly followed.
The man found a corner in the alley and stopped.
Seeing us coming, the man fell to his knees with a pop, with a trace of despair on his face, and hurriedly said as if he had encountered something: "Please save me, please save me......
There was a hint of radicalism and urgency in his voice.
A hand grabbed at me.
My brow furrowed, not knowing what was going on.
When I looked down, I found that the man's hands were covered with green scales, which looked like snake skin, which made people's scalp tingle.
To be honest, it's the first time I've seen such a spooky scene.
I subconsciously took a step back, looked at the person in front of me and said, "How can I save you?" ”
The man hurriedly shook his head, then took out a white cloth from his bosom, handed it to me tremblingly, and said, "The old fairy will not lie to me, he told me to wait here, and when a person on this portrait comes, he will be able to save me...... I've been waiting for half a month......"
He grabbed my hand, and I felt as if there were barbs on his hand, scraping my skin with pain.
I hurriedly broke free, only to find that blood bars appeared on my arms. It can be described as unusually terrifying, and I have never encountered such a strange thing.
I took a deep breath, took two steps forward, looked at the man's appearance carefully, and then took the white cloth. There was a portrait painted on it, and this portrait was not someone else, but what I looked like. It's not too similar, but it's seven points alike, and most importantly, I can feel that the person who painted this portrait seems to have never seen me.
If not, with his painting skills, he would not have painted me like this.
But even so, they can still recognize me from the sea of people.
"Who drew this?" I was vigilant at the moment, because there were too many enemies for me now, so I didn't dare to be careless, and looked at the person in front of me and asked, "Say it quickly!" ”
"Old fairy, old fairy!"
There was a hint of confusion in the man's eyes, as if he didn't quite understand what I meant.
In short, over and over again, there are only a few words in my mouth. Let me save him, he doesn't want to die!
"Don't be in a hurry!" I allowed my emotions to stabilize gradually, and then crouched down and grabbed his arm with one hand, only to find that his body was covered with these green scales.
I fiddled with it lightly, then continued, "What happens if I pull it off?" ”
"It hurts, it's like pulling out a thorn in the flesh!" There was a hint of panic in the man's eyes: "This thing, this thing has grown on my body." ”
My brow furrowed slightly, and to be honest, it was the first time I'd seen it.
I really didn't know how to deal with it for a while, then I looked at Bai Zhi and asked softly, "What do you think?" ”
"Who is the old fairy in your mouth?" Bai Zhi squatted down, looked at the person in front of him and asked, "You'd better make it clear, otherwise, we won't help you!" ”
There was a hint of confusion in the man's eyes: "The old immortal is the old immortal, from here to the west on Yunfeng Mountain, there is a Taoist temple, and there is an old immortal living in the Taoist temple. I went to him for help, and he said he couldn't help, so let me come to such a person! ”
"Yunfeng Mountain?"
My brows furrowed, to be honest, since I was a child, I have never been to Yunfeng Mountain, although I know such a place, and it is not too far from my home, but I have not had any contact, as for there is a Taoist temple above, I don't know this statement.
"Yes, yes!" The man nodded hurriedly, as if he was very worried: "You must save me, the old fairy said, only you can save me!" ”
Bai Zhi took a closer look at the white cloth, and after thinking for a while, she continued: "It shouldn't be you hanging on this portrait!" ”
"Huh?" I was stunned for a moment, and there was a hint of confusion in my eyes: "What do you mean?" It's me, right? ”
"When I first started looking at it, I thought it was you. But upon closer inspection, I realized that this painting should be a picture of your father when he was younger. At that time, you shouldn't have much memory, and that's because of this, so this portrait really looks like you, not like you! After Bai Zhi was silent for a while, she looked at me and said, "The old fairy in his mouth should have asked him to find your father, not you." ”
When the man heard this, he seemed to have grasped something, and hurriedly said, "So? So? Little brother, where is your father? I, I'm going to visit him......"
I paused for a moment and said, "My father is already immortal." ”
“……”
Suddenly, as if the man had lost all hope, he sat there limply. After a long time, he suddenly grabbed my trouser leg and said, "Then can you save me?" Surely, surely......"
The man seemed to be a little insane.
I felt a little strange because I didn't understand what was going on with this person.
"Don't worry, this way!"
After pondering for a while, I looked at the person in front of me and said, "You take us to the Taoist temple of Yunfeng Mountain first, and when we get to the Taoist temple, I will first ask what is going on with the old immortal in your mouth." Maybe I can really cure it, but I can't say for sure. ”
"Good, good ......"
As if grasping a glimmer of hope, the man hurriedly stood up and stumbled forward.
And Bai Zhi's eyes showed a hint of helplessness, looking at me: "Aren't you afraid of fraud?" ”
"It's already this time, what are you afraid of?" I laughed a little before I continued: "Besides, the old immortal in his mouth should have a certain relationship with his father, and he lives in a Taoist temple, so he should be a Taoist person, and he shouldn't be an enemy." In a place like this, it's better to have one more friend than one more enemy......"
"You want to hear from your father, right?"
At this time, Bai Zhi saw through what I was thinking at a glance, and then said helplessly: "Since you have already made up your mind, let's go." ”
I felt a little embarrassed, I didn't expect it to be debunked so easily.
I really got that idea in my mind. This so-called old fairy actually remembered his father, but why didn't he know that his father had an accident? Or is he looking for me?
I have all sorts of questions in my mind.
The man was frantically hurrying in front, and at this moment, man's hope for life could be said to be vividly exposed. No one wants to die, especially someone like this!
We came all the way to Yunfeng Mountain.
Yunfeng Mountain is much higher than Qixia Mountain, towering into the clouds, so it has such a name. During the rainy season, you can only vaguely see the whole mountain emerging in the clouds, and you can't get a full view of it.
When I entered the mountain, I also felt a very fresh breath between my mouth and nose.
The atmosphere in the mountains was very good, and the man stumbled forward on the mountain road, only caring about the speed, not caring about himself and his body was already scarred. After a short time, he had already arrived in front of a Taoist temple, and hurriedly shouted, "Old immortal, I'm here." ”
