Chapter 22: Returning to the Place
readx;
?? I memorized them one by one, secretly longing in my heart, hoping to get my own Gu Spirit as soon as possible. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Grandpa helped me cover the quilt. said: "It's good to get some sleep, the fierce insect has absorbed the corpse qi, and this should be stable." Grandpa ordered a spice, and the aroma spread throughout the house. I felt relaxed all over. I wasn't as tired as I was just now, and I gradually fell asleep.
When I woke up in the morning, Master Bai was sitting in the room meditating. Grandpa bought some breakfast from Taiping Town, there was porridge and glutinous rice chicken, and I had a lot of fun. Grandpa ate some himself. At noon, my grandfather went to Taiping Town again, bought some incense, and collected some fruits and food, and carried them in a big basket. A few torches were also made, ropes and some improvised tools were prepared.
I stretched my muscles and looked at the baby worms with black soil eggs. It was still sleeping in it, not moving. I wrapped it in a white cloth. Carefully placed it in the small bag and carried it on my back. In the afternoon, when the sun was gradually sinking in the west, and it was not so hot, Master Bai woke up, and his complexion had completely recovered.
The three of us came out of the small courtyard in Taiping Town. Grandpa pressed some money under a stone slab in the small courtyard and occupied other people's courtyards, which was not good after all, and the money was used as room fees. When I walked out, I thought to myself, "This family is back, and I must be happy to see this money." But if you see a black lacquered coffin with thirteen holes, you will definitely stand at the door and curse for a few days! "
Taiping Town is not very far from Nasanqing Mountain. Sanqing Mountain is also called Shaohua Mountain, and the name of Sanqing is because the three peaks of Yujing Yuxu Yuhua are like the three gods of Taoism Yuqing Shangqing and Taiqing sit on the top of the mountain. Private paw brother.
The three of us rented a small car, the car was a three-wheeled one, and it was very loud to drive, emitting black smoke, and suddenly drove forward, and went to Sanqing Mountain. The driver is young and well-informed, and Master Bai is covered in a white robe and only has a pair of eyes. The old driver said: "The Taoist priests of the ancient family of Sanqing Mountain have some skills, if you fall into the evil spirit, go and take a look." There are also a lot of immortal medicines over there, and I hope you can pick some back. The old driver was smoking while driving, obviously treating Master Bai as a sick person.
I couldn't help but laugh. Master Bai glared at me and didn't speak. The car drove for more than an hour and stopped on a small road, and the old driver said, "There is a road to go up, so be careful yourself!" "
The sun had just set, and it was not yet completely dark, just in time to hurry. Grandpa and Master Bai had been to Sanqing Mountain before, and they knew how to go. We went up from the southwest side of Sanqing Mountain. After walking along the mountain road for a while, I felt that the peaks and forests on this side were unique, the air was fresh, and the mountains were all made of granite, which was extraordinarily powerful.
After walking for more than an hour, the dusk was over, and it was completely dark. Grandpa took out a torch and lit it, and when he walked to the middle of the night, he saw Sanqingguan, a house, located in an orderly position in the mountains. Only sporadic lamps were lit in Sanqingguan, and the rest was dark.
Grandpa said: "There are many Taoist priests on the Sanqing Temple, all of whom are ancient families in the ancient family town on the edge of Nanshan. Let's go around the Sanqingguan, pass through a dense forest behind the mountain, and climb another mountain, where there may be blue centipede grass. "
When we went around the Sanqingguan, we extinguished the torch and slipped quietly past. The black dog explored the path ahead, and the poisonous insects in the grass and stones were all driven away. After bypassing the Sanqingguan, we re-lit the torches, and the road became more and more difficult. There was a steep slope that was difficult to go down, and my grandfather tied the rope so that we could slide down. After a little more walking, we rested by a bend in the spring. I ate some food.
Suddenly, from the other side of the mountain, there was a cry of a wild beast.
Master Bai exclaimed: "This is the voice of the golden leopard, I didn't expect that there are such rare beasts in the hinterland of Sanqing Mountain. It seems that these Taoist priests are still doing their duty, and ordinary poachers dare not come here. Grandpa followed the voice and said, "This place is called Feixian Valley. We met the Golden Leopard, which seems to be a good sign! "
After the break. We went on our way down to the bottom of the valley, and climbed up the valley again, and the road became more and more difficult, and with several sweats in succession, we almost got to half-forgiveness.18 If you don't have great determination, it is really difficult to climb up, and it is also very difficult for Taoist cultivation to become a physical Flying Immortal, and this place is called Flying Immortal Valley, which is also very appropriate.
After walking for a while, dew began to appear on the leaves, and it was almost dawn. We crossed the Flying Immortal Valley, and when we reached the middle of the mountainside, we saw a dilapidated grass hut in the distance, and the vegetable patch in front of the courtyard was already covered with wild thatch, and it had been uninhabited for a long time.
Grandpa saw me looking around and said, "I've been here before, and I've vaguely seen blue centipede grass!" Xiao Ning, don't worry, you go with me to worship an old man. I glanced at Master Bai, who nodded, and went around to make sure that there were no Taoist monks nearby.
In the midst of the grass, there was a faint bulging bag of dirt, covered with thatch. There are still some small holes on the dirt bag, which should be a snake and insect making their home on the dirt bag. Grandpa put the torch on the treetops on the side, took out the firewood knife, cut all the thatch, and found a short hoe, and plugged all the wormholes on the soil bag, and the whole soil bag returned to its original appearance, which was a grave bag.
I thought to myself, "I don't know who is buried in this barren mountain!" "
Looking along the tomb bag, on the head of the tomb, a small stone tablet half a meter high is exposed, and a few big characters emerge "the tomb of the Taoist priest Gu Xiulian of the Three Qing Dynasty", the font is engraved powerfully, and it is very neat. It seems that this is my grandfather's "old friend", I thought it was a living friend, but I didn't expect it to be dead, a "deceased" friend.
I took out the incense and paper money from the basket, lit the incense, knelt on the ground, folded my hands, and said, "Hello Grandpa." I am Xiao Qi's grandson Xiao Ning, and I kowtow to you. Come here today to collect medicine, and worship you by the way! "I kowtowed to him three times, and each one was solid.
Grandpa stood in front of the grave for a long time, silent. I didn't bother him, and from his expression, I could tell that Grandpa was a little sad. I took the firewood knife and cut all the thatch near the grave.
Grandpa suddenly said, "Xiao Ning, if I pass away in the future, you will bring me here and bury me next to him." He doesn't like to make noise, so you can bury me ten meters away...... Remember? "
Grandpa suddenly made this decision, and I nodded. I walked back along the lonely grave and found a large rock, on the shady side of the stone. There happened to be a blue centipede grass, which had already grown leaves in the warm spring.
I hurriedly shouted, "Master Bai, there is a centipede grass behind this, you come over and see if it is what we are looking for." Master Bai, who was looking for him on the side, rushed to hear the sound and shone it with a torch, the centipede grass was blue and shiny, and a drop of crystal dew was rolling down from the leaves.
Master Bai said: "There is no place to find when you step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it, it is this kind of blue centipede grass." You stand back a little and let me do it. We just need to dig a small rhizome and not hurt it. "Centipede grass is a fern leafy plant that can reproduce from rhizomes!
Grandpa burst into tears and shouted, "Gu Xiulian, you have some conscience!" Grandpa handed the little hoe to Master Bai and waited anxiously aside. Master Bai knelt on the edge of the stone with his legs and carefully dug through the soil with a small hoe, revealing a black rhizome from the centipede grass.
At that moment, the black dog ran up like crazy, barking incessantly. Grandpa blamed: "Little cheap dog, what is there to bark at." The black dog was even more manic, biting his grandfather's trouser legs.
"Where did the drug thief come from! Dare to steal medicine on Sanqing Mountain. A crisp voice came. A small Taoist boy landed on a large stone a few meters away, looking innocent and simple. I turned my head to see that the Taoist boys were about the same age as me, each of them was shorter than me, carrying a small bamboo basket on his back, sweating out of his head, and his body was slightly fat, it seemed that the food of the Taoist priest was not bad. If it's just a little Taoist boy, then there's nothing to worry about!
What we have to worry about is that next to Xiao Daotong, there is an adult money leopard! The color is bright, the hair is shiny, and it is covered with black spots and rings, like copper coins in ancient times. At this moment, the sun happened to rise, and the morning light fell on the leopard, and it was even more breezy in all directions. The leopard is a feline, tiger-like, slightly smaller than a tiger. But like the tiger, it is an animal that eats meat and does not eat grass, and it is not so easy to deal with when it comes to attacking.
Before we could answer, the little boy shouted again: "I have already asked the little leopard to shout and tell you not to come, if you have to come, you must be a big villain." Xiao Daotong reached out and stroked the golden leopard, although the golden leopard was fierce, but it followed Xiao Daotong's stroke smoothly.
Master Bai stopped what he was doing, got up and stood up, and whispered, "It is very likely that Xiao Daotong will grow up with the Golden Leopard. Beasts are also human, so we have to deal with them carefully......"
When I heard this, I saw that the leopard listened to Xiaodaotong's words, so that the leopard would not be allowed to come over and bite us, and secretly thought that Xiaodaotong was innocent and simple, and he could still be bullied and bullied!
I immediately replied, "Is this mountain your home?" If you call it right, then this mountain is yours, then you can say that we are stealing medicine. Otherwise, if you talk nonsense like this, it means that you are a big villain! We collect medicine to save people, not to sell it for money. You delayed us to save people, which shows that you yourself are the big bad! "Of course, picking centipede grass is not to save people, but to save insects.
Xiao Daotong stretched out his hand and grabbed his hair, his face was already swollen and red, and said: "The mountain is nothing more than a stone and grass and trees, how can it be called appropriate." You're really messing around, you're going to make me dizzy, aren't you? I'm not that gullible ......"
When the little Taoist boy spoke. Master Bai unintentionally glanced down at the ground and shouted, "Run, run, the blue centipede grass ran away on its own!" "When Master Bai spoke, I looked down at the ground, and the blue centipede grass that had been dug out of the rhizome was really gone.
I gasped and exclaimed, "The sun is out, there shouldn't be any ghosts!" "I couldn't believe my eyes and rubbed them several times. If there are "ghosts" who come to steal grass, I should be able to see it.
