Chapter 21: The Toad and the Little Wolf (1)

Toad!

The father and son repeatedly looked at the ocean in their hands: Yuan Shikai's profile portrait, fat head and big ears, bare head, two layers of flesh on the back of his head, two beards on his mouth, no neck at all, and his chin directly connected to the military uniform...... It's too much like a toad!

"Golden Toad Town Tomb Beast!"

Qin Customs slapped his thigh, and it was decided. Making Yuan Shikai's tomb beast into a toad has no derogatory meaning. In traditional Chinese culture, the toad is a mascot with aura. The so-called "three-legged golden toad" is said to be in the Moon Palace, accompanying Chang'e, so the Moon Palace is also called the "Toad Palace". In ancient times, there were bangs to cultivate the Tao, and to subdue the golden toad into an immortal with a meter, this is "Liu Hai plays the golden toad, and fishes for money step by step". The business worships the golden toad, and the toad puts a copper coin in its mouth, attracting wealth and treasure, and making great fortune. There is also an idiom "Toad Palace Zhegui", which is compared to the first Dengke. If Lao Yuan knew that the toad was guarding his tomb, he might wake up laughing when he dreamed!

Within a few days, the design drawings were completed, and a mighty and majestic Golden Toad Town Tomb Beast jumped on the paper.

3rd house: material selection. Qin Customs went to get the spirit stone, and chose to point out the hole here and dig the gold well, considering that it was next to the spirit stone, so as to avoid the pain of a long journey to find it. This time, he didn't let Qin Beiyang follow, saying that the power of this spirit stone was too strong, and he didn't want his son to contact it twice in a few years. And he's in his fifties, and he doesn't care about this old bone.

Qin Customs obtained five catties of spirit stones and placed them in the depths of the underground palace. As for other raw materials, they have long been transported up the mountain. They spent two months, cutting the stone and casting the bronze parts. Qi Yuanshan participated in the whole process and was very happy, but he couldn't enter the underground palace.

Fourth house: Splicing and shaping, setting up mechanisms. It was carried out completely in the underground palace, and it took the Qin father and son the entire autumn time to wait until the first heavy snow fell to complete the assembly of the tomb beast in Golden Toad Town.

As for the fifth house "Soul Cultivation", when he went up the mountain, the officer carried an iron box with him, containing Yuan Shikai's hair and nails, as well as his favorite jade wrench. Lao Qin injected these things into the tomb beast, and sure enough, the golden toad had an aura.

After the completion of the carving and polishing of the sixth house, the spring snow melted again. They have been trapped in the mountains for a whole year, completely ignorant of the outside world, and think that it is the second year of Hongxian of the Chinese Empire.

Seventh house: Manipulation - The Golden Toad Town Tomb Beast is quite obedient. Every time Qin Beiyang saw the big toad, he imagined that Yuan Shikai had become his own marionette, so unhappy.

Qin Beiyang and Qi Yuanshan are of similar age, both of them have read books, especially love "Three Kingdoms", they hit it off at first sight and talked happily.

One day, they went up the mountain to fight wolves, each carrying two Hanyang-made Type 88 rifles with 200 rounds of ammunition, and a Browning pistol stuck in their waists. After shooting three wolves in succession, the two teenagers rose up and chased the wolves into the winding mountain path, forgetting the time.

Passing by a crack in the rocks, Qin Beiyang heard a "squeak" sound, thinking it was a rabbit's nest, so he stretched out his arm to go in and dig it out, but he didn't expect to take out a little wolf.

It turned out to be a wolf's den, and there was only one living wolf cub left, and there were a few starving wolf cubs inside. It is estimated that the she-wolf has died under their guns, and the litter of wolves has to fend for itself.

Qi Yuanshan shook his head and said, "Oh, this little beast will not survive, so let's put it back." ”

"But......" Qin Beiyang held the hot little wolf in his arms, it seemed that he had not been weaned yet, he looked like a tiger, quite cute, and he was moved with compassion, "God has the virtue of a good life, this little wolf has never killed any living beings, I can't see death without saving it." ”

"Beiyang, how can you feed a she-wolf without milk?"

"Aren't there a few goats we caught in the camp? Originally, one of the ewes had milk for the tooth sacrifice, and we tried to see if we could feed it alive with goat's milk. ”

Qi Yuanshan almost lost his life in the wolf's mouth, hated this species to the core, and looked at the faint green light in the little wolf's eyes: "Eh! The goat must not be scared to death when it sees the wolf cub? ”

"My father said that I was born without a mother, and I survived by eating the milk of the ewe."

In fact, Qin Beiyang took pity on this little wolf, just because he thought of his birth, and he actually felt sympathy.

This is an open hillside, perhaps two thousand meters above sea level, facing the majestic mountains below, and even the Yedou Peak at the top of Wutai Mountain. It's just that night falls, and the Buddhist temple jungle with morning bells and dusk drums is no longer seen.

"Ah, Wutai Mountain! Legend has it that Emperor Shunzhi secretly abdicated and went to the mountain to become a monk. Qi Yuanshan couldn't help but sigh, "No matter how majestic the ancient emperor is, in the end, it will be nothing more than that." ”

"We can't go back, the road is steep, it's dark and you can't see clearly, if the wolves ambush us in the middle of the road, we brothers will have to die in the belly of the wolf." Qin Beiyang oiled the rifle and magazine, and wrapped himself and the little wolf in leather jackets, "Fortunately, it's late spring, and it won't be too cold at night, let's light a bonfire, and we will spend the night, and it's not too late to return to the camp tomorrow morning." ”

"Your dad is going to be worried, isn't he?"

"He has been practicing the tomb beast in the underground palace for the past two days, and he probably doesn't feel it in the dark."

Qi Yuanshan looked at the reckless mountains: "Beiyang, what is the tomb beast?" ”

"It is a divine beast that protects the mausoleum from tomb robbers."

"Since it's a divine beast, what can we mortals make?"

"Our family is not mortal." Qin Beiyang scratched his head again and smiled, "Phew! This is said as if our family is very powerful, but it is just a craftsman's work, but there is an ancestral craft. ”

"What kind of craft can you teach me to learn?"

"Ahem! This is not the math and English that are taught in the classroom. This craft can only be passed on to the descendants of the Qin family, and it can be passed on to men but not women. ”

Qi Yuanshan lit a bonfire stupidly, roasted the rabbits he had hunted today, and said, "Is this thing done, and Yuan Shikai's country will be stable?" ”

"Hell knows!" Perhaps before he was buried in the mausoleum, the Chinese Empire died. ”

Climbing to the edge of the cliff, Qi Yuanshan looked at the silhouette of Mount Wutai under the brilliant starry sky: "My father named me 'Yuanshan' because he loves the world's famous mountains and rivers. Every year on the fourth day of the fourth month of April, the birthday of Manjushri Bodhisattva, my father will go up to Wutai Mountain to make incense and pray for the peace of the country and the people. ”

"Hey, one of us is called Qi Yuanshan, and the other is Qin Beiyang, and the names are quite compatible!"

Cao Cao said: The mountains are not tired of being high, and the sea is not tired of being deep! We are a match made in heaven with mountains and sea! ”

Speaking of the Three Kingdoms again, he was extremely excited, and Qin Beiyang recited "Short Song Xing" on the spot-

When you sing about wine, life is geometric! For example, the morning dew is bitter in the past. Be generous and unforgettable. How to solve the problem? Only Du Kang. Qingqing Zijin, leisurely my heart. But for the sake of the king, he has been groaning so far. Yo yo deer chirping, eating wild apples. I have guests, drummers and shengs. It's as clear as the moon, when can it be done? Worries come from it, and they cannot be cut off. The more strange it is, the more vain it exists. Qi Kuo talks about the feast, thinking of the old grace. The moon stars are scarce, and the black magpie flies south. Three turns around the tree, what branches can be followed? The mountains are not tired of being high, and the sea is not tired of being deep. Zhou Gong vomited and fed, and the world returned to the heart.

"Beiyang, I like Cao Cao the most."

"Among the heroes of the Three Kingdoms, I admire Zhuge Kongming the most."

Qi Yuanshan already knelt down with his legs: "On the night of the stars and black magpies flying south in this month, let's worship as brothers with different surnames!" The sun, moon and stars plus Wutai Mountain can be testified. ”

Qin Beiyang was not ambiguous, put down the little wolf in his arms, knelt down together, rolled up his sleeves, took out a dagger, and made a small cut on his forearm, and the blood fell into the soil one by one. Qi Yuanshan took the dagger, gritted his teeth, and also cut himself.

Sixteen years old, his mind is still immature, and he is easily carried away by the deeds of heroes and heroes since ancient times. The little brothers suddenly felt that they were about to create an immortal cause.
