Chapter 26: The Brook Slope

The slope of the stream is not a hillside, but a river, and not far from the village, most of the villagers who fish here on weekdays come here. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

When Li Ziping and Zhang Taisheng came here, they had already seen Lao Dao sitting on the bank of the river.

I saw Lao Dao sitting cross-legged on the shore, with a lantern beside him, and the faint dim light shone on his cheek, which seemed to be extremely peaceful, as if it was one with the whole night.

"You're here?" Lao Dao whispered, and stood up with the lantern.

Li Ziping said: "I don't know what the Taoist wants us to help?" ”

Lao Dao smiled slightly and said, "You come with me." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked away.

Li Ziping and Zhang Taisheng glanced at each other and followed behind Lao Dao.

There is a bridge on the slope of the stream, which is a sand bridge. It was built by nearby villagers to make it easier to cross the river. The sand bridge is a simple way that is filled with a large amount of sand and stones in sacks and thrown into the river to fill in.

Lao Dao was walking in front, Li Ziping and Zhang Taisheng were following behind, and the two of them didn't know what Lao Dao wanted to do.

The bridge was not long, only about ten meters away, and it soon came to the other end.

As soon as he got off the bridge, Li Ziping saw a child slipping on the soles of his feet and falling into the water on the shore not far away.

"Someone overboard." Li Ziping was startled for a moment and shouted.

As soon as Li Ziping wanted to run over to save people, he was grabbed by Zhang Taisheng's wrist: "Don't go, it's the water ghost who wants to find a replacement for the dead ghost." ”

Lao Dao also stopped at this time, looked at it, turned his head and smiled, and said, "Yes, it's a water ghost, let's leave this alone." After saying that, he walked and walked.

Li Zi calmed down. In the early years, he had also heard from his father that water ghosts often appeared on the banks of the river, probably because they could not find a substitute for the dead for a long time, so these water ghosts would take on the form of humans, pretending to fall into the water, so that passers-by could save them. As long as a person enters the water, he will inevitably be entangled by this water ghost, and it is impossible to go ashore again.

I can't imagine that I can see it with my own eyes today, if it weren't for Zhang Taisheng next to me who is well-informed, I'm afraid Li Ziping would be dead by now.

Li Ziping said: "How can you tell it's a water ghost? ”

Zhang Taisheng smiled slightly and said, "In the middle of the night, whose children will come to this river to play alone?" Just to show you the scene of falling into the water? I took a closer look when I crossed the bridge just now, and there was no one on the shore at all, why did you immediately see a child falling into the water as soon as you crossed the bridge? It's clear that it's a trick of a water ghost, and I've seen a lot of it. ”

After listening to this, Li Ziping took a deep breath.

It was late at night, and after crossing the bridge, the three of them quickly entered the mountain forest.

There is a small road in this mountain forest, which is a road that the nearby villagers walk out of the mountain on weekdays. Although the road is narrow, it can also pass two or three people. In the early years, there were rumors that a three-meter-long python came out of this mountain forest, and often attacked people who passed by alone, causing panic in the nearby villages. As time passed, there were fewer and fewer people walking this mountain road, but after a month, the python disappeared, and there were no more sneak attacks.

According to Zhang Taisheng, this python should have practiced for many years, had some skills, and later came out to eat some people in order to cultivate, and after cultivating the positive fruit, he hid back in the mountains and forests. The "cultivation of positive fruits" here does not refer to the python becoming a refinement, but the transformation of the snake into something else. There is an ancient saying that the snake becomes a dragon, and the dragon becomes a dragon. It is probably because this snake is unable to make a breakthrough at the end of its cultivation in order to become a Jiao, so it urgently needs to eat some people to replenish its essence. But in fact, this way of cultivation is harmful to itself, maybe the snake will successfully transform into a dragon in this way, but when it wants to change from a dragon to a dragon, then it must go through the tribulation. When animals reach a certain level of cultivation, they need to carry out a tribulation, which is also known as the thunder and lightning from the sky to stop their cultivation, and the general vicious cultivation methods are often prone to heavenly punishment, and the thunder and lightning attracted during the tribulation will also be extremely terrifying.

After a while, he walked out of the mountains and forests, and when he arrived at a clearing, Lao Dao suddenly stopped.

Li Ziping and Zhang Taisheng also stopped.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Taisheng asked.

Lao Dao turned around, looked at Li Ziping, and said, "Do you know where this is?" ”

Li Ziping heard Lao Dao ask this, a little strange, and felt a little strange, so he looked around.

Standing here and looking due north, you can see that a mountain is Honglingzi, and to the south, it is that mountain forest, which is between Honglingzi and the mountain forest, naturally forming a clearing, overgrown with weeds. There are not many trees around, and when you go to the east, the terrain is on an upward trend, and to the west, the terrain is in the form of falling.

"There is a tomb." Li Ziping was taken aback and said.

"Yes, this is a great place for feng shui." Lao Dao said.

Li Ziping said: "You want us to help you rob the tomb?" ”

Lao Dao said: "I have been studying this tomb here for a long time, but the tomb involves the five elements of yin and yang, so I want you to help me." ”

Li Ziping and Zhang Taisheng listened and looked at each other.

Lao Dao said: "Don't worry, I am by no means the thief who robbed the tomb, and I want to go down to this tomb this time because I have something to take." ”

"What?" Li Ziping asked.

Lao Dao smiled mysteriously and said, "You don't need to know, as long as you help me with this, I can help you solve the rugged life of you." ”

Li Ziping said: "Since you said so, then you must have found the tomb**, right?" ”

"Yes, you come with me." After Lao Dao finished speaking, he led Li Ziping and Zhang Taisheng to walk for a while and stopped.

I saw a thief hole the size of a human body right here.

"This is the hole in the grave." Lao Dao said.

Li Ziping said to Zhang Taisheng: "Brother Taisheng, do you want to go down?" ”

Zhang Taisheng sneered, looked at Lao Dao, and said: "There is a Yin and Yang Five Elements technique in this tomb, there must be many obstacles, we will go down this time, I am afraid that there will be no return." ”

When Lao Dao heard this, he laughed out loud and said, "One of you is a descendant of a family of martial arts, and the other is a member of a family of Taoism, are you still afraid that my old bones will harm you?" This tomb is indeed very dangerous, but I have something to say, and I will not force it on you, if you go down this time, if you can't go on, we can just quit. ”

"Okay, let's help you, I also want to see how powerful the Yin and Yang Five Elements Technique in this tomb is." Li Ziping nodded and said.

This technique of yin and yang and five elements is actually something in the art of life, and Li Ziping is naturally not afraid of studying this middle doorway. What's more, Zhang Taisheng is also there, and he is not afraid of those strange demons and evil things in the tomb at all.

Lao Dao took out the prepared rope and tied it to the trunk of the tree on the side, and the three people carried the lantern and followed the rope and went down.
