Chapter 13 Gourd Baby
Hulu Mountain, an old man with white hair was collecting medicine in the mountain, but he saw that the wind was gusting in Hulu Mountain, the mountain was shaking, and the rumbling sound was endless.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the old man hid behind a mountain rock, paying attention to the abnormality of Hulu Mountain. Soon after, Dan saw the yin wind whistling out of the cave in Hulu Mountain, freezing all the animals around him into ice sculptures, but the old man was strong, although it was cold, he carried this cold demon wind.
Soon, the demon wind stopped, and the old man stroked his body with both hands, looked at the entrance of the cave that had quieted down, and curiously got in, and soon encountered a pangolin stuck by a mountain rock.
On the other side, the snake spirit and scorpion spirit that had been suppressed in 9999 from the gourd mountain fled to the peak not too far from the gourd mountain, and used the treasures in their hands to transform the mountain, and subdued all kinds of spirits in the mountain.
On the other side, the pangolin, who was rescued by the old man, told the origin of the goblins and showed that only by planting a seven-colored gourd could the two goblins be destroyed.
After some hardships, the old man finally got the gourd seeds, but the mountain suddenly cracked, and the old man and the pangolin fell into the abyss, but the old man's hand held the gourd seeds, and the gourd seeds flashed with colorful brilliance, making the old man and the pangolin's body become as light as leaves, fluttering in the air, and just landed at the door of the old man's house.
After that, the gourd seeds fell into the soil by themselves, attracting water to irrigate, and the seeds took root and sprouted, breaking through the soil, and soon formed a gourd vine, and grew seven gourds.
"Grandpa! Grandfather! "The seven gourds are like seven children, and they are called old man grandfathers.
The old man was overjoyed when he heard this, the old man who had been a bachelor all his life never thought that one day, he would be able to have grandchildren, and he would still have seven grandchildren in one go.
"Hey, good boy, good boy." The old man happily hugged the seven gourds one by one and kissed and touched, a good picture of family happiness.
At this time, the snake spirit and the scorpion spirit were happily in the king of the mountain, and the old man was doing his best to take care of the seven immature gourds, and the days were calm for the time being.
On this day, a man in white who traveled all over the world walked into Hulu Mountain.
Hulu Mountain is a poor mountain and bad water, and the water source is scarce, so although there are rolling mountains around Hulu Mountain, there are not many animals, which also causes that there are no fierce beasts around Hulu Mountain, most of them are those herbivores with good character, such as birds, deer, etc., and there are monsters in the poor mountains and bad waters, and there are many spirits in the mountains, and most of them are spirits with bad character, such as those bat spirits, centipede essences, toad essences, ant bee essences and so on that are subdued by snake spirits and scorpion essences.
The other good spirits either left the area, went into hiding every day, or were infested by bad spirits and had a hard time surviving.
The pangolin that dug through the gourd mountain was a kind spirit, relying on its burrowing skills, it escaped the cruelty of the bad spirits several times, but it accidentally dug through the gourd mountain and released the snake spirit and scorpion spirit that were suppressed for 9999 years and turned to ashes in just one year, which is really impossible to say.
At this time, the boy in white came to the place where the old man lived along the mountain road, and when he saw the seven gourds growing here, he couldn't help but admire: "The seven gourds that are so handsome and beautiful have a compelling aura, and they are really top-notch treasures of heaven and earth." ”
"Hey, who are you? What are you talking about? Hulu suddenly spoke.
The boy in white couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the gourd's words: "Little gourd, are you talking to me?" ”
"Of course it's me, or who do you think it is?" A gourd shook and said.
"I didn't expect the gourd to be refined, it's a pity." The man in white sighed, his words full of regret.
"We're not goblins, we're gourd babies!" The seven gourds shook one after another, expressing their displeasure.
"I haven't heard of it." The man in white stepped forward, looked at the seven gourds, and said with a smile: "It's a little strange, this place is called Hulu Mountain, could it be that this place is good at giving birth to gourds?" ”
"Not really." A gourd said: "We are grown from the gourd seeds of Hulu Mountain, and there are only seven of us gourd brothers in the world, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." ”
"I really don't understand." The white-clothed man sat down on the mountain rock next to the gourd vine and said with a smile: "Why don't you tell me about it." ”
"Why should we tell you?" The gourd shook again: "Who knows if you are a bad person." ”
The man in white smiled faintly, opened the folding fan and shook it gently, and said, "If I am a bad person, how can I have the heart to listen to you." ”
"Well, that makes sense." The seven gourds were much less hostile, and one of the gourds asked, "And who are you?" Where did it come from? Where to go? Why are you here? ”
The man in white said: "I am a scholar who travels the world, and my surname is left and right. ”
"It's complicated." The seven gourds are all little dolls, and they don't understand a string of words that Zuo Xiaoyou said, but they can probably be sure that Zuo Xiaoyou is not hostile, and the seven gourds are much more relieved.
"You're still young, and it's normal that you don't understand a lot of things." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and said: "In the future, read more books, read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, and the unknown will be clear." ”
"What is reading?" A gourd asked, "Is it for food?" ”
"To read is to read and learn." Zuo Xiaoyou took out a book and said, "Look, this is the book." Dao Ke Dao, very Dao, very famous, very famous...... That's reading. Do you understand? ”
"Oh." The seven gourds seem to understand.
"The book you just read is so good, can you read it to us again?" A gourd asked.
"Absolutely." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly and said, "But before that, should you tell me about the situation here?" Why did you grow here? I see there are houses here, where have the people who live here gone? ”
"I'll come on, I'll come out." A blue-skinned gourd shook vigorously, and said: "We were originally gourd seeds from Hulu Mountain, Hulu Mountain originally pressed two goblins, and it has been pressed for 9999 years, and it will be turned into ashes in just one year, but not long ago, a pangolin broke through Hulu Mountain, so that the two goblins escaped, and then grandpa obtained gourd seeds and planted us here, and when we grow up, we must eliminate goblins." ”
"Grandpa lives here, but Grandpa went to a small town outside the mountains to sell medicinal herbs early this morning, and he won't be able to come back until the evening." Another green-skinned gourd said.
"Alright, we're all done, let's read!" The blue-skinned gourd shook and urged.
Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly: "Okay." (To be continued.) )
