Chapter 387: Dragon and Tiger Mountain
These days, there is still a lot of good news, under Gu Youzi's sleepless conditioning, Zhao Xiaomin's state has finally improved, and he has been pulled back from the ghost gate.
Compared with two days ago, his face was already a little more bloody, and his breath was much thicker.
The power supply in Jiangning City has been restored, and most of the rest have returned to their original state, except for the Leifeng Pagoda and other places where the qi veins are still guarded by mages.
However, the lake was still closed and continued to keep the lake dry, and a row of stone pillars were erected on top of the Qianjiang River, which were distributed along the river in a staggered manner, and were sealed with charms and inscriptions, which caused countless conjectures and rumors in the room.
However, the chaos in Jiangning City for several days has finally come to an end.
After another week, Zhao Xiaomin finally woke up, and the sky in Jiangning was also cloudy and foggy, the blue sky was blue, and the sun was shining.
Chen Duo was also in a good mood, bought breakfast with a smile, and beckoned Xu Lai and Gu Youzi to come over to eat.
Zhang Yichun took the hot vegetable porridge into the room to find Xiaomin, and the two little girls chatted and ate there.
"Xiao Min is fine, right?" Chen Duo took a bite of the bun and asked.
"My life was saved." Gu Youzi said.
"That's good, Yuzu, you're too powerful, much smarter than some people!" Chen Duo breathed a long sigh of relief.
However, she immediately noticed that Yuzu seemed to be a little unhappy.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
Gu Youzi frowned slightly, and said, "This time it was also good luck to save Xiao Min's life, but she was injured too badly, even if she was cured, it would leave a lot of sequelae." β
"What after-effects?" Chen Duo was shocked.
"It will be lifelong weakness in hands and feet, qi deficiency and weakness, and there will be great damage to life expectancy, I am afraid it will be difficult to live past twenty." Gu Youzi sighed and said.
Chen Duo was stunned when he heard this, and his eyes turned red in an instant.
"Then there's no other way?" Chen Duo asked unrelentingly.
This is too cruel for a little girl.
Gu Youzi was silent for a long time, shook his head and said, "I can only try to help her recuperate, maybe I can enhance my physique, but this can't cure the fundamental ......"
Chen Duo glanced at Zhao Xiaomin's room, his heart was so sad that he couldn't let the tears fall.
Seeing that Xu Lai was still eating steamed buns and drinking soy milk, like no one else, he couldn't help but get angry and kicked him under the table: "Say something!" β
"Say what?" Xu Lai almost didn't pour a cup of soy milk directly on his face, and glanced at the two of them, "Aren't they all finished with the two of you?" β
"Then you make a statement." Chen Duo said.
"Okay, okay, I'll take Xiao Min to the root cure tomorrow, right?" Xu Lai was also speechless.
These two women are about to become drama spirits.
Yuzu's aunt Dosven is a gentle person, and she actually messes around with her.
"This is what you said, but you are not allowed to go back!" Chen Duo suddenly burst into tears and laughed, this face turning speed is faster than turning a book.
"I can testify." Gu Youzi smiled and picked up the soy milk and took a sip.
Xu Lai couldn't cry or laugh: "I'll go in the afternoon to see if there are any tickets." β
As soon as the words fell, Chen Duo took two tickets and came over: "I have already bought it for the two of you!" You keep eating, I'll pack your bags! β
So saying, he got up and went into the room.
"I'm going to help too." Gu Youzi pursed her lips and smiled, and followed Chen Duo in.
Xu Lai was eating a bun, what else could he do but smile bitterly?
Chen Duo bought tickets for the two of them that afternoon, and after a good meal at noon, Gao Xiang drove over and sent the two to Jiangning Railway Station.
"Great God, do you want me to go with you?" Gao Xiang sent them to the door.
"No need, Jiang Ning's side still depends on you to keep an eye on it." Xu said.
He explained a few more words, and Gao Xiang responded one by one.
At more than two o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Lai took Zhao Xiaomin to board the train.
"Lao Xu, where are we going?" Although Zhao Xiaomin's face was still a little haggard, he sat with Xu Lai, his black eyes turned around, and he looked at the surrounding environment excitedly, but he was full of vitality.
"Longhu Mountain, have you ever been there?" Xu Lai said with a smile.
"No, I've grown so big, and I've only been to a few places next to Jiangning to play." Zhao Xiaomin said.
Xu Lai also knew the situation at her home, and said with a smile: "Then let's go out and have more fun this time." β
"Okay!" Zhao Xiaomin smiled extraordinarily brightly.
"Did you tell your mother?" Xu Lai asked.
"I said it." Zhao Xiaomin said obediently, "My mother heard that I went out with you, and she was very relieved." β
As he spoke, the train started and began to accelerate steadily, and after leaving the station, the speed became faster and faster, and it galloped away into the distance.
Zhao Xiaomin sat by the window and watched the changes in the scenery outside the window with great interest.
"Are you tired, do you want to sleep for a while?" Xu Lai asked.
Zhao Xiaomin shook his head and said, "I'm not tired." β
But after all, she was still recovering from a serious illness, weak and weak, and when the train left Jiangning, the little girl leaned on Xu Lai's shoulder and fell asleep deeply.
By the time she woke up, it was already dark.
Xu Lai peeled an apple and handed it to her.
"Thank you, Lao Xu." Zhao Xiaomin said sweetly, she leaned on the window, looking at the scenery speeding by outside the window, and only felt that the road could be a little slower and longer.
"Xiaomin."
Hearing Xu Lai shouting at her, he hurriedly turned his head.
"What's the matter with Lao Xu?" Zhao Xiaomin asked crisply.
"Do you know how to spell the wind chimes?" Xu Lai asked.
Zhao Xiaomin's little face turned white.
"Lao Xu...... I...... I ......" Zhao Xiaomin bit her lip tightly, tears rolling in her eyes, "I didn't mean to steal from school." β
"You learned it from Junna, right?" Xu Lai asked.
Zhao Xiaomin lowered his head, nodded for a while, and said, "I...... Sometimes I can't help but eavesdrop a little when I see Xiaochun studying. β
"Recite the wind chime spell and I'll listen to it." Xu said.
Zhao Xiaomin hung his head slightly, but he didn't seem to be angry when he heard Xu Lai's tone, so he breathed a sigh of relief and recited the wind chime mantra again.
This wind chime spell is a rather superficial spell, and its main function is to activate the sound of wind chimes.
Although this spell is crude, it covers many of the most basic principles of spells, so it is often used as an introduction to spell cultivation.
The wind chime mantra is not long, and Zhao Xiaomin quickly recited it, which is slightly different from the original text of the wind chime mantra, but the overall is not much the same.
Obviously, Zhao Xiaomin's east and west pieces were pieced together.
"Explain the incantation." Xu said.
"Oh." Zhao Xiaomin lowered his little head, didn't dare to raise his head, and told him his understanding of the wind chime mantra.
"What else did you learn?" Xu Lai asked.
Zhao Xiaomin had a bitter face and said all the things he had learned bits and pieces in the past few days.
I have to say that this little girl's talent in spells is indeed extremely high, although she secretly pokes and pokes a little bit in private, and makes up a little bit in the west, and some things are not too outrageous, but on the whole, it is not too outrageous.
Xu Lai couldn't help but laugh when he saw her trembling appearance, but his face was not revealing anything, and he said with a straight face: "Don't do this in the future." β
"Don't dare." Zhao Xiaomin was timid, with a flat mouth, tears rolling in her eyes, "Old Xu, don't be angry with me." β
Xu Lai was also angry and funny, and said, "Okay, don't take it as an example." β
"Oh." Zhao Xiaomin was finally relieved and turned his sadness into joy.
"Tell me about your understanding of spells." Xu Laidao.
The little girl hesitated for a moment, quickly looked up and peeked at him, and then told her understanding one by one.
Xu Lai listened carefully, and occasionally commented and explained to correct some of her naΓ―ve views.
Zhao Xiaomin was surprised and delighted, and his whole heart was about to fly.
However, Xu Lai was afraid that she would be tired, so he told her to sleep and rest for more than an hour.
The journey in the car was very fast, the two got off the bus in Yingtan City, and then walked to Longhu Mountain in the southwest.
Longhu Mountain is one of the 72 blessed lands of Taoism, and it is also the ancestral court of the Heavenly Master's Mansion in the past dynasties.
In the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling, the patriarch of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, alchemy in this mountain, the legend "Dan becomes and the dragon and tiger appear", so the Dragon and Tiger Mountain gets its name.
The blue water Danxia is a tiger dragon, and the cave is blessed with a hidden immortal garden.
It is said that Longhu Mountain, because Longhu Mountain is a typical Danxia style, and it is also one of the birthplaces of Taoism.
In the heyday of Longhu Mountain, there are more than 80 Taoist temples, 36 Taoist temples, and several Taoist palaces, which is worthy of the name "Taoist capital".
In modern times, Longhu Mountain has experienced countless wars, and it is completely incomparable with its heyday, but among the Daomen, its scale is still one of the best.
Xu Lai took Zhao Xiaomin all the way up the climb.
After the little girl was seriously injured, she was weak and weak, so she could only hold Xu Lai's hand and climb the mountain road laboriously.
"Lao Xu, this is the place where you used to be in charge?" Zhao Xiaomin walked a little panting, but a pair of dark eyes kept turning.
"yes, pretty, isn't it?" Xu Lai said with a smile.
"It's beautiful!" Zhao Xiaomin said happily, raised his head and asked, "Were you very majestic when you were in charge of the sect before?" β
"It's not majestic, it's boring." Xu said.
"That's right." Zhao Xiaomin said, "Then don't be in charge." β
Xu Lai smiled.
The layout of Longhu Mountain is also similar to that of other famous Taoist mountains, some of which are open to tourists as a place to visit, and the other part is used as the private property of the sect, and idlers are prohibited from entering.
Xu Lai has been in Longhu Mountain for five years, and he naturally knows everything on this mountain well, and he can find it back even with his eyes closed.
The two of them rested for the night in the front mountain, and from the next morning they began to head towards the back mountain.
The first-level stone steps were paved on the mountain road, as if there was no end, circling between the mountain peaks, Zhao Xiaomin's qi was weak and weak, and he finally couldn't support it when he walked to the back.
"I'll carry you up in the last section." Xu Lai squatted down and said.
"No need." Zhao Xiaomin was embarrassed and refused to go up.
